Universal Solider: The Return (1999)
Jean Claude is Luc, a man who works on the Universal Soldier project, which is essentially reanimating soldiers by pushing a huge block in their brain. Luc used to be a UniSol, but now he's not. I'm not sure how this could ever happen, but what the hell. It's a Jean Claude movie so things aren't likely to make sense.
When the computer, known as Seth, learns that the UniSol program is being shut down, he goes rogue, locks down the building, and kills everyone in charge. Then he reanimates all the UniSol's, sends them to kill everyone else, and sets out to find a body to house his essence.
When Luc advises everyone to save themselves and get the hell out, our plucky gal reporter doesn't want to give up on this incredible story. So Jean Claude proves his gallantry by protecting her. He also has a daughter to rescue, which follows standard action movie cliches by showing the tough guy is also sensitive and cares about children and small animals.
Get ready for scenes of sad Luc mooning over the death of his spouse juxtaposed with scenes of him beating the hell out of the UniSol's and an artfully lit shot of Luc's butt... a little something for the ladies. This isn't a good movie, but then again, did you expect it to be? It's okay to watch if you're doing housework or just in the mood for something you don't need to think about at all.

Occulus (2013)
When Kaylie and Tim were children, their family moved to a new home. An old mirror they purchased contained a spirit who possessed their father and made their mother crazy. After their father murdered their mother, Tim killed him in self defense. But what police officer is going to believe the story of a screaming kid who says it was the mirror, not him, that killed his parents.
Kaylie convinces a reluctant Tim to go back to their childhood home to confront the spirit in the mirror and destroy it. There are cameras set up around the house and Kaylie plans to tape everything so they have proof of the evil spirit. Poor Tim, this is not going to help his mental health.
Once everything is set up, and they start their investigation, the two find they can no longer tell what is real and what is a hallucination. The viewer can't tell either. There are flashbacks to the events of their childhood which complicate things further. Is it a flashback or are the characters thinking about past events?
I'd heard good things about this and have seen it on multiple lists as one of the best horror movies of the year, but I'm not impressed. There were some great scenes, such as Kaylie biting into the lightbulb. Even I thought she was stupid, it still made me wince.

Demons 2 (1986)
Demons 2 takes place in a high-rise apartment building, where half the tenants seem to be watching a movie about demons. Could there be a another demon attack, asks the movie? We're about to find out. Among the apartment dwellers are a young couple going to be parents, a group of weight lifters, a child left at home alone, a prostitute meeting a customer, and a group of teens having a birthday party where they do 80s dance moves while listening to the Smiths.
Apparently making a movie about demons enables demons to come out of the TV, if they see someone staring at them, which Sally is doing instead of fraternizing with her friends. No one shall ask why Sally doesn't turn the tv off, unplug it, smash it, or push the tv up against something so the demon can't get out of the screen. But then again, if Sally hadn't been a big sulking baby at her own birthday party, sitting alone in her room watching a movie about demons, then none of this would have happened.
Soon Sally has a demon face and is wreaking havoc on her friends, who also become demons. With demon teens rampaging through the building, people try to escape, hide in their apartments, and hope to survive. The building has bullet proof, double paned glass, and since the electricity in the building is out, the doors won't open. So everyone is locked in with the demons, including the weight lifters who are so into pumping iron that they are working out in the dark.
This is very similar to Demons. People are locked in a building with demons, except it's a bigger building with more places to hide, and more victims who can become demons. Like the first movie, there is a car full of obnoxious who have a loose connection to the plot. There is no explanation for how a demon could get through a TV screen. I enjoyed the first part of the movie best due to the teens at their party, with the yellow couch, dance moves, and songs right out of college radio.
|80s dance party with the Smith's.
|Demon coming through the TV? Well that's going to ruin the party.
|Is this really a happy birthday?
|There might be something wrong with your dog.
|At this point, a puppet makes an appearance
|The awkwardly stiff, non-moving flying puppet

Blood Beach (1980)
Ruth's daughter Catherine comes to town to help the search. She used to be engaged to Harry so things are a bit awkward. But both know that Ruth wouldn't run off and leave her dog alone.
Meanwhile down at the beach, a homeless lady, who looks like a cross between Tim Curry and Lily Tomlin, wanders around and gives people crazy eyes... well, not literally. She just stares in an odd manner and warns them that something is very wrong at the beach.
A few days later, Santa Monica Beach is filled with families and teens having fun in the sun. When a group of teenagers buries a girl in the sand, she is attacked by something. Henceforth the teens in town call the location Blood Beach, which you'd think would drive people away, but instead the kids think it's cool.
Soon more people disappear, and one creepy guy has his genitals ripped off - take that, rapist! - yet the police are no closer to finding an answer. Harry starts searching under an abandoned building by the pier, hoping to find a sign of whatever is grabbing people and pulling them under the sand. Will Harry ever find the creature? Will the police solve the case? And most importantly, why do people keep going on the damn beach? It's all over the news. Get the hell out of there!
I've wanted to see this movie for years. So I was really excited when my friend found a copy put out by some no name label (and turned out to be a DVD-R). When I was younger, the trailer for this movie freaked me out when I saw the people being sucked down into the sand. But thirty plus years after it's release, it's fairly tame.
The pacing is slow and the deaths are few and far between. John Saxon is a police captain who doesn't believe anything is going on until a rich teen gets her legs bloody. One of Harry's fellow Harbor Patrol officers has a band and there's a throwaway scene of him and the band singing a lame song in a bar. Overall, I'm glad I saw it. I like the concept, the trailer and the poster, but it's not the most exciting movie.

Demons (1985)
Later that night a crowd gathers at the Metropol, a formerly abandoned theater that has just been reopened. In the lobby are various decorations, including a motorbike with a strange mask hanging off it. When a woman who looks like Rick James tries on the mask, she nicks her cheek which starts to bleed.
The film turns out to be a horror flick where teenagers go into a tomb, and find a mask that looks just like the one in the lobby. When the guy in the film tries it on, he nicks his face, and soon changing into a demon. Female Rick James notices her cheek is bleeding again and gets very nervous.
Before you know it, there's a demon in the restroom and someone has been attacked. This is not a good sign for the rest of the patrons since the demon follows zombie rules - if you're bitten or scratched by a demon, you'll become a demon.
So get ready for demons running all over the theater. When the crowd tries to escape, they discover the front doors locked and no way out. They all scatter, trying figure out how to survive until hopefully help arrives. There is also a brief subplot about four druggie kids who steal a car and end up hiding in the theater to evade the cops.
Most of the movie is people running through the theater, screaming, and demons drooling green goo. At one point, the motorbike comes into play. I'm still wondering why the blind guy went to the theater since his companion had to describe what was on the screen. Overall this is a ridiculous movie with gross demons. As with most Italian horror flicks, it leaves you feeling weird at the end.

Population 436 (2006)
Steve figures he'll be in town for just a few days, but he's puzzled by the lack of fluctuation in the towns census records which go back into the 1800s. The townsfolk are nice, but within minutes of him getting to town everyone knows his name. There are also several odd instances where people mention that Steve is staying with someone because he hasn't found a home, or remark that Steve has moved to town.
It shouldn't be a secret to anyone who watches the movie that there are only two ways a population can stay exactly the same. Either every time someone is born or moves to town then someone else must leave, or the town has completely incompetent census takers. The movie has similarities to Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery, although this movie is nowhere near as powerful or shocking. In fact, it's fairly tame, slow at times, and not anywhere near the same class. People certainly won't be talking about this movie in two years, let alone fifty.
What is puzzling is why the townsfolk don't let people leave town when there is a new arrival. This would alleviate the problem of a changing population. Also this is the only town in the world which counts visitors as part of their population. What is wrong with these people? A visitor isn't a resident. You just let them leave and your population stays the same. Oh wait, these people are probably inbred simpletons since most people never leave town.
So to sum up, they don't want you in their town. But if you do come, they won't let you leave and someone will have to die. Yup, thanks crazy religion!

I, Frankenstein (2014)
The gargoyles take the monster - a hunky, muscular, artfully scarred man - to their headquarters to meet spiritual leader Leanore, who promptly christens him Adam. Leanore explains that, unknown to the humans, there is an ongoing battle between demons and gargoyles. Some of the gargoyles want to kill the monster Adam, but Leanore invites him to join them. He declines, and is provided with weapons to vanquish the demons and send them to hell.
Two hundred years later, Adam and his square jaw are still wandering the Earth. He hasn't died or aged, which is amazing since he's made of dead bodies. It's not clear why he wouldn't be subject to the same physical deterioration of the living or dead.
When Adam has a run in with demons at a night club (yes, that's right), a police officer is killed and one demon escapes to notify tycoon Charles Wessex that Adam is back in town. Wessex has a team of scientists researching reanimation and is currently experimenting on rats. But unknown to the scientists, Wessex is actually the head demon and there are thousands of corpses waiting for the chance to be reanimated. Once this happens, they can destroy the gargoyles and take over the world. Meanwhile, Adam has gotten a haircut to increase his hunk factor.
If he can get his hands on either Adam, or Victor Frankenstein's diary, his scientists should be able to determine why Adam is still alive and how he was successfully reanimated. So the chase is on. There's lots of CGI and lots of Adam sneaking around, such as monsters do.
I can't say it's a good movie, but it was entertaining. There's not much to the plot, and it's way too serious for it's own good. At times it felt like a pilot for a TV show.

Favor (2013)
It seems Kip has accidentally killed his mistress, who started pushing for a relationship. If news of the murder gets out, Kip will lose his wife, his career, and he'll be ruined financially.
Being a good friend, Marvin accompanies Kip to the motel to survey the scene. They end up back at Marvin's for supplies, where Marvin tells Kip to go home and let him take care of it. He's afraid someone might remember Kips car if he goes back to the motel again. So Marvin will take care of making Kips problem go away.
The next day, Kip is upset to see Marvin on the curb outside his home. Marvin is shaken up, but Kip says they need to avoid each other for awhile so no one gets suspicious. But Marvin keeps popping up at Kips home and his work. And it seems that every time Marvin shows up, he wants something. That's what happens when you do someone a huge favor. They want you to reciprocate. Flashbacks throughout the film show what occurred when Marvin got rid of the body.
Marvin is down on his luck. He's been unemployed for awhile, has no job prospects, no dating prospects, and is running out of money. On the other hand, Kip is successful, has a nice home, a pretty wife, is successful at work, and women like to flirt with him. After doing such a big favor for Kip, Marvin's not too pleased that Kip won't help him solve his problems. This isn't going to go well.
This is a low budget movie. The majority of the film is interaction and dialogue between Kip and Marvin. At the hour mark, I was wondering if I could last until the end. But either the movie isn't as long as it says it is, or the last part goes much quicker than the first. It's an interesting idea and plays out in way I didn't expect.

Ninja Apocalypse (2014)
With zombies, mutants and ninjas, you'd think this would be great, but you'd be dead wrong. A half hour into it, we gave up. There was almost no action and the clan was just beginning to try to get off the twentieth floor. Yay, only nineteen more floors of nothing to go.
Maybe the action picked up after the first half hour. But it wasn't interesting up to that point, even though the clan has the ability to form balls of lightning in their hands. I'm guessing that would com into play at some point. Ernie Reyes Jr., former child star, appears in the movie.

It Came From Somewhere Else (1988)
The town suddenly develops a problem with spontaneous combustion. So the Sheriff puts in a call to the government and an expert arrives in town. He's not all that useful though, and ends up drunk.
The town is overrun with strange goings on. The local doctor believes in x-raying everyone who comes in for treatment, and shoots more than one hundred x-rays at a sitting. There are human hands growing in a field at the edge of town, and when local youths run over an officer who has cordoned off the crash site, the man is none the worse for wear. The aliens wear karate gi's and know kung fu. Plus for some unexplained reason everyone in town, including the Sheriff, hates the Buckner family, especially Mr. Buckher.
This is one bizarre movie. Shot in black and white with an occasional burst of color when someone is shot or aliens arrive, this is probably going to have a narrow appeal. It's a spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies and the comedy is fairly predictable for much of the movie. But there are some funny scenes and lines.
When I first started watching it, I wasn't sure if I should invest my time. The comedy was flat and while there were some decent ideas, it was just an amateur movie spoofing bad movies. But as it went on, there were things that made me laugh. The overall strange tone of the movie kind of grabbed me. Sure, much of the comedy will make you groan, but there is some funny stuff. Overall, glad I watched it.

Beneath (2013)
Arriving at the lake, they get the rowboat ready to launch, when an old man approaches. He's a friend of Johnny's grandfather and wonders if Johnny has permission to be there. When Johnny tells him they're going to row across the lake to party, the old man warns that he should know better. Johnny assures him they're only going to row across and won't go into the water. But the old man still says it's a really bad idea.
Shortly after this exchange, Johnny tries to give one of the girls a necklace with a large tooth on it, stating it will protect her. She turns him down since she's dating one of the other guys, and thinks the necklace is weird. No one shall ask why Johnny would invite his friends to a lake that appears to be super dangerous even to row on, or that someone need protection to be near.
Half way to their destination on the other side of the lake, the group stops to drink and go swimming, a fine combination indeed. Johnny tells them not to, but doesn't protest too much, and let's face it, other teens really aren't going to listen to the one kid who's saying "don't do that". So half the group dives into the water and swim away from the rowboat. It doesn't take long for something to appear in the water and the group to find out they're in big trouble. The large creature leaves them stranded in a leaking boat without oars, and wondering how they're going to survive. This doesn't bode well since stress brings out peoples true nature.
The tense situation reveals the characters to be of different levels of unlikeable. But I liked this movie. It's an average flick, but I was entertained by it. Thankfully the kid who filmed everything wasn't the source of the video, although once in awhile you'd see the film from his perspective.
The creature is done by an effects team, rather than CGI, and has a nasty looking long toothed mouth. I definitely prefer real creature creations rather than computer generated ones. Just keep in mind that the creature is not as big as it appears on the cover, where it appears to be large enough to swallow the row boat whole.

The Dead Outside (2008)
Daniel eats some food in the house and bunks down for the night, but is awakened with a rifle in his face. Homeowner April is hostile and distrustful, which is understandable due to the circumstances. Can you really trust anyone after a pandemic?
April isn't sure whether Daniel is being honest when he says he don't have the virus. She tells him that if he has it, he shouldn't use the treatment since it will only make things worse. She allows him to spend the night, but the next day he's attacked as he's trying to leave. So the two form an uneasy truce, which develops into an awkward partnership.
April doesn't like talking, while Daniel yearns for companionship.
When a woman shows up outside their yard, Daniel opens the gate to allow her to join them. April is upset. Not only does she not trust strangers, but she doesn't like that Daniel finds it easier to get along with the new woman, and fears he'll leave with her.
While I got this on a movie pack of zombie movies, the zombies are negligible in this film. There are a few here or there (until the end), and April has fortified her fence with barbed wire so none get even close to the house for most of the movie. This is more a study of the characters and their relationship. It's a lot of talking and not much blood. So if you're only interesting in blood and zombies, you won't like this.
Aside from a few places where I lost focus and wondered if I should continue watching, it was decent. The film was made in Scotland and a few times I found the dialogue hard to understand, but it was more due to the level of the music rather than dialect. There are numerous scenes where the music is louder than the characters. The first time it happened, I thought it was being used as a device to signify that what they're saying isn't important. I expected a cut to some other scene or some sort of action to be the focus of the scene. Then I realized it was just a bad mix on the sound.
Another thing that makes this movie a bit difficult to watch is April's anger. I don't think she says anything without an angry tone or angry yelling. I get that she doesn't trust people, and she's traumatized by what's occurred, but does she need to yell at poor Daniel all the time? Give it a rest.

The Ouija Experiment (2011)
Micheal tells the group there are three rules they have to follow. Don't ask the ghost how he died. Don't ask how you will die. And the most important rule of all.... is the point that one of the girls chooses to head to the bathroom. No one shall ask why Michael doesn't wait until she gets back before telling this most important rule.
The third rule turns out to be always say goodbye at the end of your Ouija session. If you don't, it leaves a passage open for the spirits, and you don't want them coming into your house. They'll mess shit up.
Needless to say, rules are broken, and things go horribly wrong for those involved.
This is the only movie I've ever seen where a group who manages to contact the dead asks the Ouija board questions about themselves. Who is my boyfriend texting right now? Is he seeing someone behind my back? Does anyone know about his cheating? Seriously? You've got a connection to a supernatural being and you're going to ask it questions about what's going on in your life? Wow. Just wow.
Then three quarters of the way through the movie, they must have run out of steam since they switch to a flashback of the people who used to live in Michael's house. Not sure how a found footage movie can have a flashback to a time that involves people who used to live in the house, but Michael finds a scrapbook in the attic which is full of newspaper clippings regarding a murder in the house. Whose scrapbook was it? If I move into a house and it's a murder house, I'm not going to keep clippings on it. And why didn't Michael clean out his attic when he moved in?
There are two pieces of mythology I don't think I've heard in any other ghost movies. First is that ghosts don't like video cameras, said by the girl who leaves her camera on all night. The second is that the spirit has to say goodbye to end the session. This makes no sense. So all the supernatural entity has to do to keep that pathway open is refuse to say goodbye and this world will be overrun by evil spirits.

Bug (1975)
After an earthquake releases an underground breed of fire starting roaches, the bugs go on a rampage, such as bugs do. The roaches get around by climbing into cars exhaust pipes and spreading around the town. How do they get up off the ground into an exhaust pipe? Why do they set cars on fire? Why do they kill people? No idea.
Professor James Parmiter is a biologist at a local college and is called upon when someone discovers the bugs. Parmiter determines they set fires by picking them up and burning his fingers. So he decides it would be a good idea to study them.
After the bugs kill his wife, he hunkers down in a cabin at the edge of town and tries to breed them with another species of beetle or roach. This proves to be a very bad decision when the new bugs can not only can set fires, but have a taste for human flesh. Now they're setting fires, eating people, and communicating by spelling out words. Freaky bugs indeed. Thanks Parmiter for making things so much worse.
Parmiter proves to be a terrible scientist since he never suspects that anything bad could happen from breeding killer fire roaches. He also never latches the box they are in, even after he discovers that they've escaped and eaten a steak. Yes, you heard me - they ate a thick juicy steak. Also if they're fire bugs, why the hell would he house them in a wooden box?
This is a William Castle film, which depending on how you view him is either fantastic or something to avoid. It's a bit slow paced, but kind of amusing at times. Who leaves a surprise birthday cake in someones garage? Why are people living in the Brady Bunches house? Seriously, look at the kitchen and then the living room - this is the Brady Bunch set.

Phase 7 (2011)
Later that night, Coco is called down to the lobby where he sees men in hazmat suits outside. Coco and the other residents are notified that their building is under quarantine due to a virus. The remaining tenants are advised to stay in their apartments and not socialize, just in case any of them have the virus. A doctor comes by to check everyone to see if they seem to be infected and they are given a number to call if they need help.
As food supplies dwindle, the tenants start teaming up and some decide to get rid of anyone who might be sick. One night Coco sees two men trying to convince an elderly neighbor to open his door so they can check on his health, but the men have hammers behind their backs. Eventually there are two factions in the building, plus the elderly neighbor who has decided to brandish a gun.
The movie revolves around Coco and the survival in those left in the building. The plot has a similar feel to Rec since it takes place in an apartment building where a group of people are quarantined. There aren't zombies and there's less tension since they just need to stay away from other tenants, which means they can stay in their apartments with the door locked. So if you're expecting zombies you'll be disappointed, but it's not bad.

Sharknado 2: The Second One (2014)
Finn and his wife April travel to New York to promoter her new book on surviving shark attacks. On the way - what are the odds - they encounter another Sharknado. In fact, it almost seems like they are being stalked by a shark who is out for revenge.
In an opening segment right out of Airplane - including a camera by Robert Hays as the pilot - Finn has a Twilight Zone moment when he sees a shark outside the plane. No one believes that sharks are outside the windows unit they start crashing into the plan, screaming down the aisle of the plane, and removing peoples heads.
When April tries to shoot a flying shark, it bites off her hand. But luckily Finn is able to take control of the plane, land it safely, and get her in an ambulance. While she's en route to the hospital, Finn goes off to meet his sister and her family at a ball game. The lead singer from Sugar Ray, Mark McGrath, plays Finn's brother-in-law. So you know that's going to.... probably make Tara Reid feel a little more comfortable about her wonky acting.
Once Finn finds his relatives, they must try get across town to meet up with April. Surprisingly, even though April lost part of her arm earlier in the day, she's up and dressed and out the door to meet up with her clan. The rest of the movie is tons of cameos, while Finn and his family try to get to safety and NYC is inexplicably hit by a Sharnado.
Honestly I hope they keep making Sharknado movies. These movies are so ridiculous that they're pretty enjoyable. But statistically, the more sequels, the worse they get. But if they start out ridiculous, you just need to find a way to keep that going. And I'm hoping they get to Sharknado 10... in Space. Nothing says crazy like sharks in space. Ian Ziering has revived his career and he actually fits this role. Mark from Sugar Ray... not so much. But then again, Ziering, Tara Reid and the guy from Sugar Ray might be a cheesy enough buddy shark fighting team that it just might work.
Watch for the scene where Tara's bitten off arm shows up again, which is ridiculous enough, but the arm length doesn't match the length that was bitten off. So that's kind of amusing. Continuity error or they just didn't care? Also watch for the Evil Dead circular saw blade in place of a hand.

Silk (2006)
In order to further their research, Hashimoto requests dynamo policeman Tung be assigned to his team. Tung is adept at reading lips and believes he'll be able to tell them what the ghost is saying. But Tung's mother is very ill and he's not that interested at first. He soon changes his mind.
Hashimoto believes the key to determining who the boy is, and why he is still there is to discover what he's saying. The team are also curious whether the boy can interact with humans or just repeats the same actions over and over. Hashimoto is particularly interested in discovering the secrets of the ghost world. He's crippled, his diabetes is getting worse, and he wants to know whats going to happen after death.
This is another movie where the trailer was really interesting and the movie was okay. The one new concept I can't recall seeing in any other horror movie is that it's not a good idea to urinate on a ghost. They really don't like it.

Doom (2005)
When they arrive at the station, fellow solider Reaper discovers his sister is involved in the researchers. She informs the squad that she'll be going with them so she can download the research data. Reaper balks since this is a rescue mission. But Sarge confirms their job is multifaceted and includes getting the data.
The group spreads out in an attempt to locate the doctors who were working and finds the man who made the call for help. But an attack by a strange creature slows their progress, and then the bloodied doctor disappears from sick bay. Something has gone horribly wrong at the research facility and the group must try to complete their mission without getting killed by the monsters that seem to be roaming the building.
The movie has similarities to Resident Evil in which a rescue mission goes into a locked down research facility and needs to extract data. Doom was not a success when it was released, but it's okay for a mindless action movie.

Book of Blood (2009)
A hired killer has been paid by a collector to procure the skin of a young man with unique scarring. The young mans skin is so different from anything he's ever seen that our killer offers a deal to the young man. He will have a quick, relatively painless death if he tells the man his story. The young man agrees.
Dr. Mary Florescu and her assistant Reg are investigating reported paranormal activity at the now deserted house were a murder previously occurred. Mary is a Professor at a local University and recognizes her new student Simon as the prior child media sensation who had a premonition regarding the death of his brother.
Mary believes Simon would be an asset to their investigation and that he'd be a good conduit for any supernatural entities in the house. Reg is skeptical, but when there are multiple supernatural occurrences the first two nights, Mary is convinced they have made contact. She also starts having dreams about Simon and becomes a bit obsessed with him. Hey the guy sleeps in the nude and isn't shy about stripping down in front of her. Reg is not amused and believes that Simon may not be on the level. But Mary has lost perspective and won't tolerate any of Reg's suspicions since she believes Simon is providing the connection that lets the spirits access their world.
I had never heard of this movie, but my friends rented it. The movie was pretty good. It is more atmospheric than gory, although there are a few gross scenes.

Unanswered: Disk or Network Error
I have MS Access 2000 on my WinXP Pro machine.
I have a PivotTable in my database "OrderCountV4" which pulls it's data from another database called "Count Comparison". "Count Comparison" is on our network and "OrderCountV4" connects to it by System DSN.
When I open "OrderCountV4" on a Win98 machine, open the PivotTable and refresh it works fine. But when I do the same thing on my WinXP machine by clicking the Refresh icon, I get a Disk or Network Error.
Any idea on how to correct this problem?

I have been a member of FVF since 2009. I was never a 'gym' person and always felt very intimidated by the gym environment. Right off the bat I felt very comfortable with the atmosphere at FVF. My trainer has helped me achieve my goals of losing a few pounds and getting in overall better shape. I also enjoy the yoga and Pilates classes offered by FVF offered. My 14-year-old son, Andrew, has made great strides in improving his performance in track, his sport of choice, through speed and agility training at FVF.

Walking distance from Sterling and Underhill is a huge plus. Suggestions for cake substitutes—pies, tarts, giant cream puffs, etc.—are equally appreciated. My primary concerns are quality and proximity. Thanks!

Why I insist, vehemently insist, that the men I date, friends I hang out with, and my sister, why I insist that these people must, if they care about me, follow my Facebook updates? Facebook is superficial they say, Facebook makes you narcissistic. Real relationship don't need facebook. Why Facebook, grow up they say. I will explain why. I am a sum total of 40 years of unusual experiences. I have stored in my heart stories full of funny interesting sad poignant people and events which I carry with myself at all times. My feelings today are shaped by my yesterdays. When our lives are so busy with a thousand errands all through the day, nobody has the time to catch up with all that I felt in just one day, let alone a 40 years life time. But maybe just maybe if they followed through my days events on Facebook, they'll at least get the headlines.
Take today for example. In just 12 hours I went through a myriad of emotions which are related to today but was seeded in yesterdays and years. I am in Mumbai, staying at Kavita and Gopal's place. Who are they? How I know them? Why it's so special to meet them after 10 years, and be humbled by their hospitality, having lost all other people we knew as common friends, having moved cities? How did this happen? In the train, when I was reading updates of a particular friend's wedding, I started weeping for Swagat whom we lost to cancer. Why? What's the story? What was my relationship with swagat? Why this other friends wedding opened a floodgate of tears for him? These are something I would want to share with people who say they care. And those are just two things. If they didn't see the updates I made through the day, they'll never ask, I'll never tell these stories and the sum total of me would remain unknown.
So you write. Some day somebody would read.

In a few days at the Oscars, we're likely to see director Barry Jenkins's acclaimed film Moonlight up for numerous awards, including Best Picture. It will also likely bring home many of those awards. Yet, as Christians, most of us won't be sure what to do with this film about a young, gay black man, despite the fact that it may just be the best and most needed movie of the year—especially for the church.
It's certainly no easy task to live out the cultural mandate in a Genesis 3 world. Until Christ comes back and makes all things new again, Christians will be seeking to understand what it means to be "in the world but not of the world," to figure out what is simply "permissible" and what is actually "beneficial." Sure, we'll have models and guides to help us along the way—Niebuhrs and Benedict Options—but in this lifetime, we'll spend our dying days still striving and still failing to faithfully create, sustain, and consume culture in a society plagued by sin.
This is especially true for Christians dealing with something as complex as art. And though it doesn't appear that we're headed toward hell in a handbasket, as if the Christian story were a cynical story of declinism, every era and movement of culture presents a number of new and unique challenges—and opportunities. Two of those within our current cultural landscape center on the issues of race and sexuality.
Moonlight, which brought home Best Drama Motion Picture at the Golden Globes, takes up both of these issues and has garnered significant attention not only for focusing on them but also for doing so in a compelling way. The film functions more as an exploration into social identity than a commentary on our cultural moment, but it nevertheless paints a compelling picture of what it looks like to be gay, poor, and black through the story of its protagonist, Chiron. For Christians seeking to engage with the film, this premise naturally creates both some challenges and some opportunities.
Jenkins breaks up Chiron's story into three acts: "Little," "Chiron," and "Black." The first, "Little," follows a young Chiron, who finds solace and shelter in a compassionate drug dealer, Juan, and his girlfriend, Teresa. Here we get a glimpse of Chiron's physical and spiritual poverty as we watch the child take care of himself while his mother tries to make ends meet, as well as the ridicule and bullying he faces from peers for being small and "different."
The next act, "Chiron," picks up with the protagonist as a confused teenager. Chiron's mom has now moved from occasional drug user to full on crack addict, and he is put right in the middle of her addiction while also being tormented at school for being gay. Still unsure of who or what he is, Chiron ends up kissing his childhood friend, Kevin, while smoking a joint at the beach, only to later be beat up by Kevin, which eventually sends Chiron to prison for retaliation.
The final act, "Black," shows Chiron after his time in the pen. He's now following in the footsteps of Juan as a hardened drug dealer, masking his homosexuality in a pseudo masculinity—though he eventually ends up back in Miami for a reunion with Kevin.
Less a traditional narrative and more a visual experience, this simple story acts as a window into the unfamiliar in more ways than one. Jenkins, working with cinematographer James Laxton, makes us feel as if we're right there with Chiron, using handheld cameras that flow sporadically, yet delicately, in and out of scenes.

|Busy nights = simple meals! Plus, rice bowls always hit the spot.
No need for a recipe for this lovely dish. Simply top cooked basmati or jasmine rice with finely chopped steamed kale that has been sauteed with lots of fresh ginger, a touch of sesame oil and tamari, and sweet bell peppers. Then take pre-marinated tempeh strips (I used a sesame flavored one), fry, and top your kale mixture with it. If you are feeling sassy, give the whole bowl a good squirt of Sriracha and a generous sprinkling of Gomasio. Dig in!

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by Forostar, Jun 13, 2007.
Do you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-fried_Mars_bar ?
Here's his promo video, cover of a David Hasselhoff song
(Turn on CC for subtitles in English )
Not personally, no.
Do the other candidates have promo video/singles?
Well, if Blaze decided to run for office
Btw. he was on BBC as well:
@Forostar I've been trying to find some information on the Dutch Flexwet system, but the only decent reports I can find are ten years old. Is there any public evaluation in the Netherlands about the pros and cons, and how flexwerkers fare in the system?
Before I can answer your question I will already say that this is some sort of political issue at the moment. Many people prefer to have a permanent job, but lots of companies are only/mostly providing flexible employment in the last years, which has to do with several factors I am not fully knowledgeable about (atm).
I thought employers don't dare to take the risk of having to pay costs when (e.g.) workers get sick for a long time. It's cheaper for an employer to hire a flexworker.
I'll try to get back to your question this weekend. If I can't find English info, I'll to translate some.
Wet flexibiliteit en zekerheid | Flexwet
De Wet flexibiliteit en zekerheid, de Flexwet, from 1999
Here a Dutch language page about this law:
And the law itself (downloadable):
Follow-up law (2015):
Wet Werk en Zekerheid | WWZ
This law (policy) has come under criticism since it influenced the balance permanent work and flex work a great a deal.
Here a Dutch language page explaining the updates:
And the law itself (downloadable):
I will explain upsides and downsides later and will try to find experiences.
That's what I expected. In Germany, there is a massive problem with non-permanent labour, and recent laws have been passed by our so-called Social Democrats which are supposed to make things better, but just created more loopholes. Critics oftentimes respond with a vague "we should do it like in Holland" or "The Netherlands got it right", but of course never mention any specifics, let alone references.
Flexible employment has its purpose, of course, to fill peak demands at certain times of the year, and I'm not per se against the idea. However, in Germany, from 2005 onward, the laws were changed to a point where this sort of employment is no longer used as an aid by companies, but has oftentimes become the norm.
Yes, same here. It is expected that the new government (after formation is over ) will try to change the situation.
Perhaps this is a good read, although it is short and not only about flexwet.
Found two more links in English:
Changes Dutch Labour Law 2o15:
Working in the Netherlands: changes to Dutch labour law
Thanks, I'll look into those links.
This is the situation almost everywhere, I'd guess. A clear erosion of workers rights.
I had some today after a long time (only restaurant that had them in Serbia took them out of the menu then later closed). It's so good I can feel losing a couple of years of my life after every bite.
OT: Elections today, woohoo!
I think I'm due to die in my early sixties.
Looks like Vučić is the new president since he has more than 50% in the first round. Janković is 2nd (I voted for him in the end) and Beli is 3rd. Beli who is a joke candidate has more votes than Jeremić who campaigned to become new United Nations Secretary-General
The most encouraging thing is the right wingers having a really small amount of votes.
Terrorist attack in St. Petersburg metro station, 10 dead, 30 injured so far.
Fuck ... again. Wonder which group of scum who are behind this time.
At least the Russians won't blame the Czechs.
Also, I hope they get the bastards alive. Life in a Russian prison is probably no joke.
Terror attack in central Stockholm, Sweden, this afternoon.
My goodness... they are really aiming at making us feel unsafe here.

A friend of mine had a baby shower in the spring and I took pictures for her. Instead of just handing her a stack of photos, I made her a scapbook. I have not seen her in a few months and she had no idea I was doing this.
We met today and she brought her outstanding little baby, so cute and good. I handed her the package, she opened the book and was floored, tears in her eyes. She was so happy to have this memory and kept showing the book to the little baby. She has been a good friend and I wanted to do something very special for her, and this was something that was really very meaningful for her and her family.
Tonight I have had about 3 messages from her about how her family loves the book, and how important it is to her. I know it os corny, all bird, flowers and trees, but I feel so good about how happy I made her and her family.

Memorial Day...the start of summer and the BBQ season.
But first let's remember why we can celebrate and have fun with our family and friends...
Something our family does before we sit down to eat or head
out for fun is read The Gettysburg Address...
This year we're not doing anything special.
My Colonel was able to come home for 3 days last week.
He's been away training since April.
We dropped him off at Ft. Dix yesterday afternoon.
He has another few days of training and then he and his unit leave for Afghanistan...
I hope YOUR Memorial Day celebrations/BBQs
are full of fun and delicious food.
And if you need a little inspiration, head over to Daily Dish Magazine
to see our Host Favorites from last week's party HERE...
Enjoy your day!

ProTeam - Spa Filter Clean
ProTeam's Spa Filter clean is a heavy-duty filter cleaner that's ideal for removing body oil, soaps, scale, grime, and other residue from cartridge filters. Filter Clean will work on all types of filters as it is a powerful degreasing agent. Normal use on filters will improve the cartridge's capacity to clean the water and improve water flow and circulation. ProTeam Spa Filter Clean is a product that is compatible with chlorine, bromine, biguanide, silver-mineral, and ozone-treated hot tubs and spas.
- When sprayed directly on the filter – remove the filter form the spa, rinse of excess debris from the pleats. Use a spray bottle (not included) filled with ProTeam Spa Filter Clean to get the product directly onto the filter, working from top to bottom. Allow it to stand for 15 minutes while the cleaner soaks in, then rinse completely. Place the filter back after it has had time to dry completely.
- When soaking the filter – Add 16 oz. of product to 2 1/3 gallons of fresh water in a clean bucket. Always ad chemicals to water, never the other way around. Mix the solution thoroughly in the container before placing the cartridge in to soak. Let the filter soak for 30-60 minutes. NO NOT soak your filters in containers made of metal.

HPE Shadowbase Streams from Gravic, Inc. is a powerful and flexible facility that enables diverse applications to interoperate with each other at the event-driven level (called application integration). This capability is provided even for legacy applications that were never intended nor designed to work together. Shadowbase Streams is a member of the Shadowbase product suite and focuses on distributing information in real-time throughout the enterprise, enabling the provision of a Real-Time Enterprise (RTE), a concept in business systems design focused on ensuring organizational responsiveness. It rapidly delivers information where and when it is needed without customer application modification. The application's responsibility is simply to make functional use of the data delivered by Shadowbase Streams.
With application integration, events generated by a source application are sent in real-time to a target application for processing, and is known as an Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), a software architecture pattern promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events. Target application-processing may or may not result in a reply back to the source application. Target system applications may use the events generated by the source application for expanded functionality. Therefore, integration using Shadowbase Streams typically involves sending a source application's events from one environment to a target application in another.
Event-level integration enables Event-Driven Architectures, which deliver services based on changes made to the source system's database. Event-level integration avoids the necessity of developing special agents or adapters for each application that is to be integrated. Rather, it monitors source application events in real-time and sends them immediately to the target application so that action can be taken on the event by the target. This method is employed by Shadowbase Streams for application integration. It makes use of the fact that in most applications, events are evidenced by changes made to the application's database. As shown in the figure below, Shadowbase Streams monitors these database changes. If a change represents an event of interest, the event data is reformatted as required by the target application by Shadowbase Streams and is sent to the target application for processing.
The target application presents an interface to receive external events. Shadowbase Streams passes the events to this interface. Shadowbase Streams can be configured via user exits to drive any target application interface. Typically, the target application will not require any modification to receive events via Shadowbase Streams. Included supported application interfaces are shown in Figure 2.:
Using HPE Shadowbase Streams to integrate applications provides many benefits to the enterprise, enabling the business value inherent in isolated applications to easily be unlocked and leveraged to deliver new business services, as an RTE.

Business Insider/Danielle MuoioKia took its very first shot at a hybrid hatchback-crossover this year — the Niro — and the results are commendable.
The hybrid hatch market is pretty well defined. Toyota's Prius has consistently reigned supreme in sales, and competitors like the Ford C-Max and Kia's corporate stablemate, the Hyundai Ioniq, have been slow to catch up.
Kia may not be a household name, but the Niro is already the second best-selling hybrid for 2017 and has received fairly consistent praise across the board.
At a time where the crossover segment is hot, the Niro boasts solid mileage without skimping on space — all with a price tag that's difficult to overlook.
We took the 2017 Niro hybrid out for a spin to see if it really lives up to the hype. Here's the verdict:

Representative Caleb Jones of Columbia presented a bill to allow Hemp extract to be used for treatment of individuals with intractable epilepsy. The bill provides that they must have tried at least three other forms of treatment to control their seizures before they would be eligible for this method. The Hemp would be provided by the Department of Agriculture and the extract CBD would be processed to make the medication. There is no mind-altering effect from CBD extract and it's use and the patient's response would be closely monitored by their neurologist. The treatment has had much success in reducing or totally stopping Grand Mal seizures in children and the bill sponsors wish to provide Missourian's as many treatment options as possible.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our system of government, but they are also expensive to administer and difficult to effectively organize. In an effort to improve our election procedures, a bill was proposed to move the Primary Election date from August to June. Election officials testified in favor of the bill because it would give them more time to prepare for the general election after the primary. This move would also give the voters more time to evaluate the candidates before a general election.
Now I'm going to vent a little bit. Last year's tax cut had some fatal flaws and rightfully, it was soundly defeated. Having said that, we set out this year to propose a bill that would address all the problems of last year and still provide a much-needed tax cut for Missouri's families and businesses. The Governor was invited to participate and his office was asked to provide their input at every step of the way. The Governor remained SILENT throughout the entire process. No input, no suggestions, no leadership! Now he has decided that it is politically expedient for him to once again travel all over the state in his $6 million dollar airplane at huge expense to the taxpayers spreading blatant lies about the bill and its' supposed harm to education. He has picked one line of the bill and tried to say that it would eliminate all taxes on income over 9 thousand dollars. To quote Norman Schwarzkopf "That's Bovine Scatology!" Former Supreme Court Judge Ray Price, the Missouri State CPA organization and lawyers all over the state agree that there is no way that is a valid argument. What it has done is caused another round of emails and phone calls from school boards and administrators all over the state. I can't see how it benefits the Governor to constantly try to pit small businesses and hardworking taxpayers against schools, but he seems to be set on doing just that. There, I said it! Now I feel better!
The State FFA Creed speaker, Chance Wallace and Maura Butler with a State FFA degree and Daniel Kelley all from Seneca, were at the Capitol to visit last week. Advisor, Mrs. Angel Roller, student teacher Amanda Clark, and Jr. High teacher, Ethan Griffith, were introduced on the House Floor. Also visiting me last week were David and Paula Brodie from Goodman. It's sure fun to introduce people from home! That's probably enough for now, more next week. Until then, I am and remain in your service.

Safety products: 3M's Personal Safety Division showcased products from across its portfolio of PPE equipment that range from eye protection to fall protection at the 2016 National Safety Council Expo.
3M™ DBI-SALA® Self-Rescue Device
When a worker is suspended after a fall from height, every second matters. To minimize risk to the suspended worker, their coworkers and emergency response personnel, at-height workers need a rescue plan that doesn't leave them hanging. The Self-Rescue Device is a flexible device that attaches to a current safety harness and allows workers to lower themselves to safety in the event of a fall from height.
3M™ DBI-SALA® ExoFit™ STRATA™ Full-Body Harness
The ExoFit™ STRATA™ Full-Body Harness is designed and tested with data-driven, research supported by ergonomic specialists at Northwestern Health Sciences University. The result is a harness that is more comfortable and lighter to wear. The first-of-its-kind LIFTech™ Load Distribution System helps take the weight off workers' shoulders and redistributes it down to their hips, reducing forces on the shoulders. In addition, PolarMesh™ padding improves air flow to help keep workers' backs cooler.
3M™ Elevated Temperature Hard Hat H-700T Series
The Elevated Temperature Hard Hat H-700T Series features a new design and materials that offer lightweight protection in elevated temperatures. Designed specifically for elevated temperature applications ranging from metalworking and smelting to glass manufacturing, the H-700T Hard Hat is engineered to withstand radiant heat loads up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, and is the foundation of an integrated system of advanced personal protective equipment for the head and neck.
3M™ Versaflo™ Belt-Mounted PAPR Systems
Versaflo Belt-Mounted Powered Air Purifying Respirator Systems deliver a comfortable approach to respiratory protection for workers. Headgear, breathing tube and air sources in many configurations allow workers to adapt their protection for most work environments.
3M™ Protective Eyewear with Scotchgard™ Anti-fog Coating
A fogged lens can be frustrating and dangerous. Removing eyewear to wipe away fog can expose eyes to potentially dangerous workplace impact hazards and debris. The Scotchgard Anti-Fog Coating resists fogging longer than traditional anti-fog coatings, even after washing multiple times.
3M™ E-A-Rfit™ Dual-Ear Validation System
Pinpointing the hearing protection needs of each individual on a worksite can take time. The E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System makes it easy to measure every employee's unique level of protection with a hearing protection fit test for most 3M hearing solutions (ear plugs and ear muffs) that takes less than five seconds of actual test time. The system utilizes science-based, objective, quantitative testing that takes the guesswork out of managing compliance in an organization's hearing conservation program. E-A-Rfit Dual-Ear Validation System was the 2015 'Best in Show' New Product Showcase winner.
3M™ PELTOR™ WS™ ProTac™ XP Communication Headsets
In noisy environments, workers need hearing protection that helps protect against hazardous noise while offering flexibility and clarity when talking wirelessly. PELTOR™_WS™ ProTac™ XP Headsets are designed to better serve the protective communication needs of our Industrial Customers. These wireless, BlueTooth® compatible headsets offer impressive attenuation in noisy environments as well as the ability to simultaneously connect to a radio sound source via optional connection cable and via wireless BlueTooth® connection.
3M™ PELTOR™ ProTac™ Hunter & ProTac™ Shooter Headsets
For hunters or law enforcement, there is a need to protect from loud sudden noises or blasts, but it's equally important that people can listen normally when noise hazards aren't present. The PELTOR™ ProTac™ Hunter & ProTac™ Shooter Headset allows wearers to effectively listen and communicate within their surroundings, while also utilizing smart technology to help block out sudden harmful noises.
3M™ PELTOR™ ProTac™ III Headset
In environments where loud or sharp noises are present, workers need hearing protection that helps protect against hazardous noise, but also minimizes over-protection so workers can hear warning signals, alarms, or other sounds in machines and processes. The PELTOR™ ProTac™ III Headset allows workers to do both by monitoring the surrounding environment and when hazardous noises are present, an electronic circuit in the headset limits the speaker volume to 82 dB.
3M™ PELTOR™ WorkTunes™ Pro AM/FM Radio Headset
Listening to music can make everyday tasks feel easier. The new PELTOR™ WorkTunes™ Pro AM/FM Radio Headset helps workers to stay protected and productive while listening to music, audiobooks or podcasts. Designed for rugged work environments, this headset combines professional-grade durability with lightweight comfort for all-day wearability.
About 3M
At 3M, we apply science in collaborative ways to improve lives daily. With $30 billion in sales, our 90,000 employees connect with customers all around the world.
