In France, 80 boxes of Monopoly will ship with real money in addition to the fake money needed to actually play the game. It's nice of them to still include the game money, but I don't think anyone would mind if they had to go buy a second box of Monopoly to both play the game and spend their free cash.Read More

Everything gets the Monopoly treatment eventually. It's like a zombie outbreak in itself. There's Beatles Monopoly, Justice League Monopoly, Disney Villains Monopoly - when I was a kid, I even had a Star Wars monopoly PC game. This edition of the classic boardgame is available at ThinkGeek and is described as "everything you know and loved about Monopoly, but with 100% more zombie flavor." See the board and pieces under the jump.Read More
We tend to use the term "Monopoly Money" to imply something is worthless, but is it really? Does Monopoly money have any real value? Well, no, obviously. It's paper money from a board game, but it's still a thing people buy, so it has to be worth something, right? Let's figure out the exchange rate of dollars to Monopoly money. For reasons.Read More

The only way you can make Monopoly an enjoyable game is to add zombies, some dystopian sci-fi, or possibly the Powerpuff Girls, but you know what else might work? The post-apocalyptic, alternate history trappings of the Fallout video game series. Which is exactly what someone on Reddit totally did for their wife's birthday.Read More
We as consumers like to think that we get what we ask for -- like it's the "demand" part of supply and demand -- but sometimes maybe we shouldn't. Apparently, we asked for The Walking Dead versions of both Risk and Monopoly, because that's what USAopoly and Skybound are sending our way.Read More

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application Ser. No. 60/732,569 having a filing date of Nov. 1, 2005.
When manufacturing gas generators for gas generating systems, an ongoing challenge includes providing adequate amounts of inflating gas while yet reducing the weight, complexity, and raw materials typically required. Given the weight of a filter assembly often included with many gas generators, a correlating challenge therefore is to provide the same cooling capability while yet reducing the weight of the cooling assembly associated therewith.
The above-referenced concerns are resolved by a gas generator containing a novel cooling assembly. The cooling assembly includes a baffle assembly that maximizes the gas/contact area interface thereby enhancing the associated cooling and slag deposition/filtering ability. The gases produced upon combustion are shunted radially inwardly toward a second end of the inflator through at least one gas orifice, and then funneled into the baffle assembly located at the second end. The funneling action maximizes the efficiency of the baffle assembly by concentrating the gases at the entry to the baffle assembly. The gases are then forced through the baffle assembly and out the gas generator. The baffle assembly may also contain a filter if desired.
In accordance with the present invention,
As seen in
An igniter assembly 16 is provided for igniting a booster composition 36 (described in greater detail below) in response to an activation signal from a vehicle collision sensing system (not shown). Igniter assembly 16 includes an igniter holder 18 having a cylindrical cavity formed for receiving an igniter 20 therein. Igniter 20 may be secured within the holder cavity using any of a number of known methods, for example, crimping, adhesive application, insert molding, or fasteners. A rear portion of holder 18 is configured to provide an interface mateable with a complementary connector of a wiring harness or other suitable initiator activation signal transmission medium. Holder 18 is formed from a metal or metal alloy using a suitable manufacturing process, such as die casting or machining. Igniter 36 may be formed as known in the art. One exemplary igniter construction is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,009,809, herein incorporated by reference. Igniter assembly 16 is secured to second housing portion 24 using any of a variety of known methods, such as welding or the formation of an interference fit between holder 16 and a perimeter of upper housing portion aperture 26.
An open end of a generally cylindrical booster tube or perforate housing 30 abuts a portion of igniter holder 18 so as to form a substantially gas-tight seal at the holder-booster tube contact interface. A plurality of gas discharge apertures 32 is spaced circumferentially around a sidewall 34 of booster tube 30 to enable fluid communication between a booster composition 36 contained within booster tube 30 and a primary gas generating composition 38 (also described below) positioned externally of the booster tube interior. In addition, booster tube 30 has an end wall 40 with an aperture 42 formed therein to enable fluid communication between booster composition 36 and an auto-ignition compound 44 (described in greater detail below) positioned along an outer wall of lower housing portion 22. Booster tube 30 is fabricated (for example, by stamping, casting, forming, extrusion, or some other, suitable process) from a rigid material such as carbon steel or stainless steel.
Booster tube 30 contains a quantity of a booster composition 36 ignitable via igniter 20 in a conventional manner to ignite and enhance the burn characteristics of gas generant 38. Referring to
A gas generant containment member or imperforate housing 46 resides between booster tube 30 and perforate body 14. An edge portion 48 of containment member 46 abuts a surface of a filter retainer 50 or second annular member 50 (described below) to form a substantially gas-tight seal at a contact interface between containment member 46 and filter retainer 50, thereby preventing direct fluid communication between combustion chamber 52 and housing gas exit apertures 28. Edge portion 48 is also spaced apart from first housing portion 22 to provide a gas flow passage 56 extending between containment member 46 and first housing portion 22. Passage 56 enables fluid communication between a filter chamber 58 (described below) and housing gas exit apertures 28. Gas generant containment member 46, in conjunction with booster tube 30, a baffle assembly 12, and a filter retainer 50, defines combustion chamber 52 in which primary gas generating composition 38 is positioned. Gas generant containment member 46 is formed from a metal or metal alloy using suitable manufacturing processes, such stamping and forming. Containment member 46 may be press-fit into second housing portion 24 prior to joining housing portions 22 and 24 together.
Gas generant 38 may be any suitable gas generant composition known in the art. Exemplary gas generant compositions include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,035,757, 5,872,329, 5,756,929, and 5,386,775. In the embodiment shown, gas generant 38 is provided in tablet form, but may be provided in other forms.
Filter retainer or second annular member 50 is included within baffle assembly 12 for receiving a filter 60 (described below) therein, and for providing expansion of gases as they pass from a first chamber 53 of the baffle assembly 12. A boss 62 is formed along a central portion of retainer 50. Boss 62 extends into a complementary cavity formed in an end portion of booster tube 30 proximate booster tube end wall 40, thereby centering retainer 50 within housing 14. A portion of retainer 50 also defines a second baffle chamber or filter chamber 58 for positioning and retaining the filter 60 along a gas flow path extending between gas generant 38 and housing apertures 28. In the embodiment shown in
Filter 60 is positioned within housing 14 for filtering particulates from gases generated by combustion of gas generant 38. In general, filter 60 is positioned between gas generant 38 and apertures 28 formed along first housing portion 22. In the embodiment shown in
Baffle assembly 12 includes at least one central orifice 70 adjacent a portion of booster tube 30 for transfer of gases from the combustion chamber 52 to the first chamber 53 of the baffle assembly 12. A plurality of gas orifices 70 may be formed about the perforate housing at the juncture of the baffle assembly 12 and the booster tube 30, or, an annular gas flow passage 72 may be formed at the same juncture to enable fluid communication between combustion chamber 52 and filter retainer apertures 68. Baffle assembly 12 may be fabricated (for example, by stamping or some other suitable process) from a rigid material such as carbon steel or stainless steel. Baffle assembly 12 may be secured to filter retainer 50, for example, by welding or adhesive application.
A quantity of a known auto-ignition material 44 may be positioned within the gas generator 10 so as to enable fluid communication between booster composition 36 and the auto-ignition compound. In the embodiment shown in
During operation of the gas generator 10, igniter 20 activates upon receiving a signal from a vehicle crash sensing system. Activation of igniter 20 results in combustion of booster compound 20. Flame and hot gases from combustion of the booster compound then exit booster tube apertures 32 to ignite gas generant 38. Gases from the combustion of gas generant 38 flow through gas flow passage 72, then into a first chamber 53 of the baffle assembly 12, then through filter retainer apertures 68 into filter chamber 58 for cooling and expansion of the gases, then through filter 60 and out of filter chamber 58, then through gas flow passage 56 to exit housing 14 through apertures 28. As the combustion gases pass through gas flow passage 70/72, through retainer apertures 68, through filter chamber 58, and along first housing portion 22 to exit apertures 28, the gases are cooled and flames are suppressed. Thus, the gas flow path extending between combustion chamber 52 and housing gas exit apertures 28 provides a structure or system for expansion and cooling of the generated gases thereby suppressing flame front, prior to their release into, for example, an inflatable element of a vehicle occupant protection system. Yet another benefit is the reduced weight and packaging space necessary for the baffle assembly 12, notwithstanding the efficacy of the cooling inherent thereto.
Stated another way, in accordance with the present invention, the baffle assembly 12 may be formed by stamping a monolithic part, or, stamping several parts and welding them together. As shown in
A second annular member 50 may be welded to the first annular member 55 thereby forming a first chamber 53 between housing 30 and filter retainer or second annular member 50. The second annular chamber 54 as defined above, is defined between the retainer 50 radially outwardly toward the body 14, and has a relatively greater volume as compared to the first chamber 53. As such, gases passing from first chamber 53 to second chamber 54 are cooled as they expand and then pass through filter 60. It should be emphasized that although filter 60 is shown in
In operation, gases produced upon activation of the gas generator 10 are funneled or toroidally shunted through the orifice(s) 70/72, thereby maximizing the gas contact with the available surface area within the baffle assembly 12. As a result, flame front is eliminated while optimizing the cooling efficacy of the baffle assembly 12 and thereby reducing the overall relative weight of the assembly 12. As gases pass through the assembly 12, they are substantially cooled prior to passing through passage 56 and out through apertures 28.
Referring now to
Referring again to
Safety belt assembly 150 may also include (or be in communication with) a crash event sensor 158 (for example, an inertia sensor or an accelerometer) including a known crash sensor algorithm that signals actuation of belt pretensioner 156 via, for example, activation of a pyrotechnic igniter (not shown) incorporated into the pretensioner. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,505,790 and 6,419,177, previously incorporated herein by reference, provide illustrative examples of pretensioners actuated in such a manner.
It should be appreciated that safety belt assembly 150, airbag system 200, and more broadly, vehicle occupant protection system 180 exemplify but do not limit gas generating systems contemplated in accordance with the present invention. Further, the compositions described above do not limit the present invention.
It should further be understood that the preceding is merely a detailed description of various embodiments of this invention and that numerous changes to the disclosed embodiments can be made in accordance with the disclosure herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The preceding description, therefore, is not meant to limit the scope of the invention.

Update: Our Edible Garden A Year Later
Last year was our very first year spent playing farmer. Perhaps I should rephrase that. Last year we enthusiastically planted some herbs, veggies, and fruits in a small backyard garden that we created just for that purpose. Farmer might be a bit of a stretch, but for two not-always-great-with-plants people, it was quite a lofty goal… and it worked! Now that spring is back in full bloom (and the local farmer's market is finally open again) we were able to replant a ton of new stuff and some old favorites too. You can read about how we originally prepped and planted our edible garden right here (tip: we used some non-edible evergreen shrubs to fill things out and keep it looking good year round). And you can see how that garden did thanks to a little update that we posted a few months later right here. And now for this year's edible garden status report…
We're not gonna lie. Things were looking a little bleak when we started. Overgrown seen-better-days daffodil leaves were all floppy on the ends of our planting bed, and don't ask how many leaves were somehow still living among the evergreen shrubs since last fall.
But it was nothing that a little raking and daffodil-stem-cutting couldn't solve. And once the garden was a bit less unkempt looking, we were able to start playing around with the placement of the new herbs and veggies that we picked up this year at the farmer's market (the first day it opened actually, we were seriously missing our free backyard eats).
This time we grabbed some old favorites from last year like three sweet basil plants and two different types of tomato (two Roma tomato plants and two cherry tomato stalks called Riesentraube) along with some new additions (two chive plants, some mint, some rosemary, a bit of cilantro, and a Charleston bell pepper). Oh and we can't forget that some things shocked us by coming back from the dead, so there was no need to replant them (our oregano and parsley sprung up to surprise us this spring). Plus the raspberry bush that we planted last year is a perennial, so we expected that to come back and are happy to report that it has been thriving since the warmer weather hit a few months back. We should have some fruit on that in a month or so.
As we mentioned we also already had some shrubs in the garden (planted as part of last year's garden-establishing project) that look great year-round and fill out the area so it looks a bit less like a random hodge-podge of dinky herbs and veggies. Of course the existing peony bush and rose bush (both inherited with the house) on either side of the back row in front of that frosted window help to keep things looking good. And the two Winter Gem Boxwoods and the feathery Cypress King's Gold bush in the front row also lend structure and form to the garden so our smaller sprouts don't look too piddly and alone.
That other leafy thing you can barely see between the peony and the rose bush in that back row in front of the frosted window is the aforementioned raspberry bush that we planted last year (we can't wait for that to sprout up- it actually gets pretty big and anchors the whole back row even more). So with those shrubs already in place, we just spaced out the smaller herbs among the larger established plants for a nice balanced look. We put the smaller low-growing herbs in the front row and the ones that we knew would get bigger (like the tomatoes) towards the back and in spots that had more room for them to fill out. There wasn't much more of a method to our madness, except that we grouped like herbs (so all three of our basil sprigs were planted together, as were both of our chive plants).
Oh and we also learned a tip about the mint that we added to the mix this year: plant it in a pot and bury that in the ground (see the green pot in the right corner of the shot above?). It'll look like all of the other herbs since the pot will be completely hidden, but mint is a spreading plant that can threaten to take over your whole garden, so by keeping the roots confined to a pot you'll save it from monopolizing your garden by the end of the season.
So after we dug that pot in for our mint and planted the rest of our farmer's market finds (we used some free backyard compost to give them all the nutrients they'll need) it was time to mulch. And before we knew it we had a nice little edible garden staring back at us. We even used a few popsicle sticks to label things, just to keep them straight. Besides, it looks kind of charming and homegrown, which adds to the sweetness of the little herbs and veggies interspersed between the larger bushes and shrubs that live there year-round.
Here's the view from above (peering down from the sunroom):
Since these photos were taken we've already eaten a good amount of oregano, rosemary, and pretty much all of the basil (thank goodness it grows back quickly). And we already have requests from friends and family members for some tomatoes (they're so easy to bring when you're visiting- and of course you feel so fancy when you get to mention that you grew them yourself).
In other news, pretty much right after we mulched everything in our garden, the pretty pink peony started to bloom. Sweet.
Oh and we suppose we should talk about the cost of our little garden habit since we know you love a good budget breakdown. Last year we spent less than $60 prepping the soil and planting all the foundation shrubs along with the first round of herbs, veggies and fruits. And this year we only spent $19 for all of our new herbs and veggies to replenish and substantially add to our original supply (and that cost also includes two bags of mulch to keep things moist). Considering you can easily pay $16 for a store bought container of basil and oregano along with one small basket of raspberries and a small tub of cherry tomatoes- an entire season's worth of fruits, veggies and herbs for that price is definitely worth about an hour of planting and mulching. We really can't emphasize enough how black our thumbs were last year when we decided to start an edible garden, but they're super easy so there's really no green thumb necessary. Just try to water things if they're looking super dry, but other than that they're pretty much an auto-pilot thing. So if you're wondering if you can do it, trust us… you can.
And on a totally random tangent-type note, our backyard irises (planted by the lovely original homeowners nearly 50 years ago- so they're HUGE!) are back in bloom. But on an edible-garden-related note, they smell good enough to eat.
So that ends the garden update. What are you guys planting these days? Any other edible gardeners out there? Any favorite fruits, veggies or herbs that you plant (or wish you could plant) each year (we're always so jealous that Meyer lemon trees can't live outside in our climate)? Any container gardeners (or windowsill gardeners) out there making optimal use of a small space? Tell us all about it.
Psst- Wanna know how we water our garden for free (courtesy of mother nature). Check out this post all about how we built a rain barrel. And learn how we created a super simple backyard composting bin right here.

A few others have mentioned braiding their daffodils – my mom (who has an extremely green thumb!) always taught me to bend the bundle of leaves in half and wrap one long strand around the whole bunch – again, to provide nutrients rather than cutting everything back. Once they're neatly contained, they actually end up looking pretty nice!
Of course, your garden looks super the way it is :)
I'm doing the Square Foot Gardening thing in my postage-stamp front yard. I'm trellising melons and zucchini and pumpkins up the wire fence and having a hey-day getting as much food in my little space as I can!! I've got spinach, lettuce, beets, tomatoes, onions, beans, cukes, and more planted. I'm out there every morning with my face 2 inches from the dirt trying to spot sprouts:). My big experiment is trying to grow luffas–yes, the bath sponges. I planted blueberries this year with the goal of having an edible hedge in the future (well, edible fruit from the hedge, that is!).
Just wanted to let you know that the chives are a perennial, so you'll now get to enjoy those every year! The mom I nanny for just gave me some from her yard and I love the purple flowers on top. We are still working on landscaping our yard, so we will just do herbs this year and a tomato plant, but my parents have a HUGE garden that my brother-in-law started up again last year and again this year and we have all reaped the rewards of that. The sweetest, juiciest corn eaten right off the stalk, different types of lettuce and spinach, butternut squash, radishes, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, the list goes on…such a treat to have access to! Oh and asparagus come up every year, so you may want to consider that someday! Your garden looks so lovely!
I live in Delaware and I have a container garden on our deck. This year I'm growing 3 types of peppers (jalapeno, poblano, and red bell), lots of herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme, cilantro, chives, and sage), and two types of tomatoes (cherry and roma). I'm also trying green beans this year. I was surprised to learn that sage and chives are perennials.
I love my vegetable garden and it's easy to get carried away, even with containers. My husband says he doesn't eat peppers, but I love them and end up with waaayyy too many. Still, it's cheaper than a trip to the grocery store!
I recommend planting a blueberry bush or two. They're pretty, their leaves turn a pretty red in the fall, and you end up with blueberries (though not many at first)!
My friend has what is basically a rosemary bush in a cool climate, so don't be surprised if it gets big and keeps coming back! I planted lettuce this year, which I found out you can basically do as soon as the ground thaws. Who knew?
We planted an organic garden this weekend! We first had to remove most of the dirt from the planter, because in the high-desert of Northern Nevada (by looking at the landscape you wouldn't know Lake Tahoe was 15 minutes away!)our soil is mostly clay. So we removed the clay, put in weed guard, and then re-filled the plater with organic garden soil. We planted a variety of lettuce plants, corn mache, onions, strawberries, sugar peas, green beans, etc.
My husband also built a wooden planter that we are going to fill with larger plants. I am so looking foward to eating what we grow!
Hooray for gardening! First house for us and *first* garden was planted a few weeks back with our very own compost (made courtesy of YHL's tutorial – whoo to the square root of hoo!). Check it out:
I'm soooo excited for the tomatoes to fill in! But keeping the dog away from the garden….le sigh. It's a work in progress :-(
Oh peeps, I think about gardening all the time but am too afraid to actually do anything about it (except for weeding – I could quit my job and weed during every daylight hour and still never stay on top of it). Just yesterday I decided I wanted to plant lavender in our front bed but then learned that we just can't put it in that shady, acidic, poorly drained, bark-mulched soil (under the rhodies). Maybe you could plant some lavender in a sunny, alkaline, dry, gravelly spot for me.
We're just getting started on the edible gardening thing as well. We moved into a home that has a fig tree over 100 years old and still produces 2 crops a year along with a giant rosemary bush planted by the previous owner. I planted a thornless blackberry bush last summer along with some mint (also in a container so it doesn't go crazy) and now have added organic heirloom tomato plants to my list. I get so giddy when I check on my little plants and see that things are actually growing! Can't wait to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Happy eating!
Your garden looks great, this is only my second year gardening I loved the fresh zukes and basil we enjoyed last year. More so then your garden though I really enjoyed seeing your rain barrel and composting posts! You know I looked into composting at the beginning of the year and everything I saw looked too hard and time consuming. But the method you guys are using looks so easy! Thank you so much!
Speaking of chatter…have you guys ever considered adding a forums area to your site?
When we still have too many tomatoes after eating tons and giving some away, simply slice them half and place them cut side up in whatever size dish you need. Drizzle olive oil over the top and slowly roast them in the oven on 200 for about 3 – 4 hours. They are absolutely delicious when eaten warm like this, but you can freeze them and use them in sauces and soups over the winter for a bit of garden freshness. It's worked like a charm for us!
Last year I planted a ton of perennials, including some high petal count peonies that are blooming right this moment. I also have columbines, geraniums, a clematis, rose bushes, a rhododendrun, hostas, and some annuals in there. Our veggie garden sadly doesn't have any started-from-scratch plants. We went with all peppers and tomatoes- habanero, jalapeno, bell, banana, and cayenne peppers. My husband loves hot food and the peppers we planted last year were so bountiful we decided to go for another round.
Sadly, we are selling our home so who knows what our garden will be like next year! I know I'll at least do some potted herbs and cherry tomatoes.
Mmm, I love edible gardens. I did some apartment potting this weekend. Just old pots that I've had for a while, nothing special!
You are absolutely right in saying the start up costs of a vegetable garden pays for itself when you compare it to the cost of groceries. I live in an apartment and my patio doesn't get enough sunlight to grow anything, but I share the responsibility (along with my two sons who love grubbing in the dirt) of tending my mother's vegetable garden. We visit once a week and have a grand time prepping the soil, planting, weeding, watering and eating! There really is nothing like going to her home and knowing the lettuce greens and tomato on our burger is straight from the garden patch we took care of and are saving our pennies with a little sweat equity.
Oooh you can save even more money by planting seeds inside earlier in the year and then transplanting them to your outdoor garden. Seeds are super cheap. Plus you can get a $10 plant light at Walmart to help them along the way. The nice part about this is that you end up with more plants than you probably need, so you can give them to family members or friends for their own garden.
Love this! Everything looks so fresh and green!
Finally planted my first edible garden this year. I did lose my peas to cutworms, but other than that I am loving it! Still waiting for my crops to come in, but have cukes, cherry and reg tomatoes, basil, parsley and rosemary…can't wait for the harvest!
Very timely post, since my brother and I just planted our garden yesterday! We went a bit crazy this year – planted tomatoes (12 plants), cucumber, zucchini, beets, swiss chard, carrots, beans and peas PLUS an herb garden in another area of the yard. Definitely looking forward to eating our home-grown vegs later in the summer!
I agree with the suggestion of a Forums spot on YHL… I love getting all this information from other YHL readers as well as you two! (especially with gardening, since I'm pretty new at it.)
I've got four tomatoes growing, and I already see little green cherries on the Cherry Tomato plant after four weeks! Can't wait to pop one off the vine and into my mouth. :)
I think a better question is what am I NOT growing, because I am getting out of control:
In 3 raised beds: lettuce, radish, carrot, cauliflower, arugula, tatsoi, kale, fave bean, cucumber, eggplant, pepper, tomato, basil.
My permanent herb garden contains thyme, rosemary, chives, oregano, sorrel, leeks, and fennel.
Various berries: blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry.
More perennials: rhubarb and asparagus.
Those are all of the edibles, and I'll spare you the ornamental list!
I advise new gardeners to start with greens, as they are so easy–just skip the hottest part of summer. Radishes are also really easy. Spend the majority of time preparing the soil.
We actually are trying an edible garden for the first time this year! This past weekend we got a few tomato plants, pepper plants and lettuce! We are going the container route though. We don't have a perfect spot for a garden, so this way, we can move the containers around so they get enough sun. We will see how it turns out I guess! :)
Two years ago, I planted mint in a pot and buried it, just as you guys did… but it creeped out and around and took over. I dug it all up, gave tons to my friends to replant, and saved a little to put in one of those large galvanized tin wash buckets. It looks great and is now contained!
Best of luck with your garden!
I am on my second year of gardening and we have a ton of stuff. Next year I plan on starting from seed as I just got a potting bench for free. It's all on my blog :D We have tons of tomatoes of course, just ate some sweet strawberries, tons of green onions, bok choy, swiss chard, yellow onions, celery, pumpkin, zucchini, yellow squash, blueberries, and grapes, not to mention our pear, plum and avocado trees that keep us in fruit even though we do nothing for them. I love it!

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of the beer, but they're doing lots of seriously innovative stuff with online media. This was set up during Milan Design Week 2014 to show off both Heineken's new draught machine and serve as a massive branding exercise.
It didn't go as viral as I'm sure they would've liked (although 176k views after 6 days is still pretty damn sporty), but that's only part of the purpose. Having just come from the High Point Market event, I can say that something like this would have been far more memorable than the thousands of very standard showroom presentations.
Whenever you can get customers to truly interact with your brand, it's going to create a far stronger and longer lasting impression than looking like everyone else. This is an example of the right way to stand out in a crowd. Plus, it's a freaking pinball machine!

It is certainly a bad omen when a preview audience giggles at scenes intended to be frightening. Free-movie crowds, grateful for the air conditioning this time of year, will usually devour most anything, no matter how inedible. Yet the longer the movie played, from Tuesday night seemingly into Wednesday morning, the louder their laughter got, to the point where you began to wonder whether this wasn't intentional comedy after all. One almost pities writer-director Scott Derrickson, who will walk into a theater where The Exorcism of Emily Rose is showing one afternoon to see how the movie's playing, and be greeted not by shrieks of terror but the paralyzing howls of disbelief and derision. The director, whose tepid filmography suggests a hard-on for horror (it includes such notables as Urban Legends: Final Cut, which he co-wrote, and the direct-to-video Hellraiser: Inferno), may well be scared straight of his obsession and realize it's time to move on to comedy, where he displays a certain deft touch.
It's a sure sign of filmmaking laziness when the director utilizes a gimmicky soundtrack to amp up his chills; if the story ain't working, get a kitty cat to meow into a microphone. Even before the opening credits roll, this is what we're treated to: amplified screams layered over the sound of labored panting and other assorted grunts and groans and guttural noises, which give way to a silent scene of a barbed-wire fence dripping with blood, which is used to spell out the title of the movie. Nothing subtle there, but points awarded for cleverness and cheesiness; more thought went into these few seconds than the entirety of what follows.
And what follows is actually hard to describe -- a tedious courtroom battle commingled with the flashback tale of Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter), who leaves her idyllic country home for college and, while left alone in her dorm room one night, is raped by an invisible demon, suggesting Derrickson and co-writer Paul Harris Boardman have seen 1981's The Entity a few too many times. But Emily Rose's possession is back-burnered for much of the film, which takes place inside the courtroom where Linney's lonesome Erin Brauner dukes it out with a Protestant prosecutor played by Campbell Scott, whose mustache does most of his heavy lifting. Theirs is intended to be a battle between believers and nonbelievers -- between the religious right and the religious wrong, if you will -- but plays more like a fixed fight, with a resolution so outrageous, you'll conclude that the Michael Jackson jury had more sense.
What little we do see of Emily's possession -- or epilepsy, as the prosecution insists -- consists of little more than scenes cribbed from The Exorcist II, mostly a lot of demonic growling and spastic body movements. (You must always feel a little sorry for actresses saddled with such roles; they're given little to do except scream obscenities in dead languages, drool, and mewl for their mommies.) It's not scary, merely a little sad -- a retread of a retread, the cursed doings of a movie trying to repeat the box-office success of a wildly overrated movie (the original Exorcist, which mistook lurid for horrific) without stealing so much from it as to be dismissed as mere copycat. And Wilkinson and Linney fare little better: They underact, as if by pretending to be sad, broken people they can lend some gravitas to a film begging to be freed of its possession by a bunch of knuckleheads.

Just thought i would add this to here so people can experience my happiness also!!. Calling 1(800) numbers are no longer a pain!!
While many companies will do this, they by no means are required to. There is no law that says that have to, but many companies realize that their customers want to talk to someone in the same country. I know for example dell computers used to offer a special Customer Service plan whereby for $200 you could have unlimited access to american based customer service for a year.
That sounds like a complete waste of money. $200 just to talk to an American customer service rep?????

Post Content
The more frequent and severe super storms and other extreme weather events that rage through our region (and beyond) spare nothing and no one. That means that hospitals, like any other facility, can lose power and become victims of battering high winds and storm surges.
Hospitals must keep operating in times of weather emergencies. In fact, when storms strike, there are more medical emergencies and health problems.
Hospital executives across the Commonwealth are increasingly looking at sustainable and resilient energy solutions, such as combined heat and power (CHP) – also called cogeneration systems – to ensure that their facilities remain operating during power outages.
In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, which left more than 8 million customers without electricity, many New York and New Jersey hospitals lost power and needed to send patients to other facilities. To make matters worse, badly damaged nursing homes and eldercare facilities inundated hospitals with their many high-need residents. Hospitals that had planned ahead and were equipped with CHP systems were able to take care of these patients in spite of grid failure. The systems provided ample power until the electrical grid stabilized.
Massachusetts health care facilities are poised to become national leaders in CHP adoption. At least 13 Massachusetts facilities currently have these systems, including the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown, the Longwood Medical Area, the 426-kilowatt biomass-fired system at the Cooley Dickinson Memorial Hospital in Northampton and the newly upgraded 17.5-megawatt system at the UMass Medical Campus in Worcester.
Not only does CHP provide sustainable energy solutions, it reduces pollution – greenhouse gases, mercury, NOx and SOx – and saves money over the life of the system.
A recent report released by Health Care Without Harm and the Boston Green Ribbon Commission, "Powering the Future of Healthcare-Financial & Operational Resilience: A CHP Guide for Massachusetts Hospital Decision Makers," noted that a hospital employing a 1-megawatt CHP system can garner an annual net positive cash flow of $700,000. These savings take into account generous utility incentives through Mass Save® and Massachusetts state incentives from the Department of Energy Resources (DOER).
Combined heat and power systems can make sense from a financial and sustainability perspective. For example, the U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that the 47.5-megawatt CHP system at Boston's Longwood Medical Area has reduced total fuel consumption by 24 percent, leading to an estimated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 117,500 tons of CO2 annually. Without the greenhouse gas savings from the Longwood facility, Boston's community-wide greenhouse gas emissions would be roughly 2 percent higher annually, making it more difficult for Boston to achieve its Climate Action Plan goals.
"Powering the Future of Healthcare…" is a primer to help hospital executives weigh CHP technologies and financial considerations to facilitate informed investment decisions.
Saving money on energy allows hospitals to care for more patients more effectively, and to develop additional energy efficient initiatives. Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions though greater energy efficiency and increased disaster resilience in the face of climate change make up important bonuses. This is why CHP is one of the most promising options in the U.S. energy efficiency portfolio, and in most cases a great fit for healthcare.

cultured marble shower walls, Help Needed
ross09February 25, 2012
Hi all, I'm remodeling my 2 bathrooms and will be replacing the shower and bathtub tiled walls with cultured marble wall panels. My research has come down to 3 companies, they are US Marble, Classic Marble Carstin inc, and Remee Castings. I would like to find out which of these companies makes the best product. I would appreciate any feedback or personal experiences with any of these products. Thank you
Not many people are using cultured marble. But I am! I am having my contractor get the product (full shower) from a local manufacturer 5 miles from my home. And I think that's a pretty common practice. There are CM manufacturers in most cities. I went to the factory showroom to get all the product information before I decided.

What to Make of the SAG Awards Nominations (Analysis)
THR's awards analyst says noms for Barkhad Abdi, Daniel Bruhl, Forest Whitaker and the "Dallas Buyers Club" ensemble were not assured -- and snubs of "All Is Lost" star Robert Redford and the "Saving Mr. Banks" ensemble were surprising.
On Wednesday morning, SAG-AFTRA revealed its nominees for the 20th annual SAG Awards, which will take place in Hollywood on Jan. 18 and, in an unusually competitive awards season, industry insiders were paying close attention to the first guild to chime in on the race.
The announcement brought expected news for many -- 12 Years a Slave led the field with four nominations, spread among its ensemble, lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, supporting actor Michael Fassbender and supporting actress Lupita Nyong'o -- but news that was anything but expected for others.
For instance: Captain Phillips nabbed noms for Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi, Dallas Buyers Club received mentions not only for lead Matthew McConaughey and supporting actor Jared Leto but also its ensemble, Lee Daniels' The Butler received mentions for its ensemble and lead actor Forest Whitaker, Nebraska was represented by lead actor Bruce Dern and supporting actress June Squibb, Rush snagged a nom for supporting actor Daniel Bruhl and August: Osage County scored noms for ensemble, lead actress Meryl Streep and supporting actress Julia Roberts.
STORY: '12 Years,' 'Breaking Bad' Dominate SAG Award Nominations
But All Is Lost's lead actor Robert Redford and Saving Mr. Banks' ensemble and supporting actor Tom Hanks, all of whom were widely regarded as slam-dunks, went unacknowledged, as did anyone associated with The Book Thief, Fruitvale Station, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Out of the Furnace, Prisoners, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and the late-screening The Wolf of Wall Street. (I believe that Wolf would have received several nominations if voters had been given more time to catch up with it; last year it was December release Django Unchained that was ignored by SAG but wound up with Oscar noms for best picture and best supporting actor, among others.)
The Weinstein Co. -- between August: Osage County, Lee Daniels' The Butler and Philomena -- scored more noms than any other distributor: seven.
Also of note: Enough Said's late supporting actor James Gandolfini became only the third film actor or actress ever to score a posthumous SAG nom, after Massimo Troisi for The Postman (1995) and Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight (2008). This certainly boosts his Oscar prospects -- although, it must be said, many actors who work primarily in the medium of television, in which he most distinguished himself, also got to vote for SAG's film nominees, but far fewer will be found among the Academy's ranks.
The SAG nominations were determined by the 2,100 SAG members who were randomly selected to serve on this year's SAG Awards nominating committee, some of whom -- unlike the voters from the critics and awards groups that have heretofore announced their honors -- might actually also be represented in the Academy, and could therefore provide valuable insight. (Voting for SAG Awards winners is open to all of the 100,000-plus members of SAG-AFTRA in the United States.)
The SAG Awards have been handed out since 1995. In the years since then, the guild's acting nominees and winners have predicted the Academy Awards' acting nominees and winners more consistently than any of the many other accolades that collectively constitute awards season. The two groups both issue 20 acting nominees -- four categories with five individuals in each -- and overlapped on 18 in 2008 (and three winners), 19 in 2009 (and all four winners), 17 in 2010 (and all four winners); 16 in 2011 (and three winners); and 15 in 2012 (and three winners).
The best ensemble SAG Award (officially entitled "Outstanding Performance by a Cast"), however, has not proven to be particularly predictive of best picture Oscar nominations -- even though there can be as many as five more best picture Oscar nominees as SAG ensemble nominees -- probably because of confusion over what the category is intended to recognize. Some SAG voters take it literally and seek out the strongest sizable casts; others treat it as a surrogate best picture category, since they do not have one, and vote for films even if their casts are smaller. In terms of SAG ensemble nominees that went on to best picture Oscar nominations, there were four in 2008 (Doubt missed), five in 2009 and 2010, and four in 2011 (Bridesmaids missed) and 2012 (The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel missed).

There's something about spiced pumpkin foods that makes me feel so warm. Many people love pumpkin based foods, but for some reason, most of us only make these things during Autumn/Fall. Why is that? There is tinned pumpkin puree in the stores all year around.

10' deep shower base?
We're soon going to renovate our hall bathroom. We'd love to have just a shower in there, but it would also be convenient if that shower could have a deep base for bathing the wee ones. Recently, while visiting on the east coast, we saw such a shower. I believe it was an American Standard circa 1940...square with about a 10" deep base. I've tried searching the web, but have only found two items...
1. MTI JEU D'EAU - super fancy and just not what we want
2. Americh Corp.
Are there any other options?
You may sink the shower so that you have sunken tub as the base of your shower or build a curb and create a roman tub. as the base of your shower.
It really depend on your foundation/structure in this area. Also, it would be helpful to know the size of the shower space since you could replace the exist shower with a tub install a tub/shower combination.
I sunk my masterbathroom's shower for aesthetics and convenience. I wanted the shower so that it did not have curb.
RE: Americh
Americh has the Beverly 4040(40" x 40") tub, but it is very deep (32"). Kohler may still have a small rectangular tub that is less than 5' feet long and is not quite as deep as the Americh tub. I sunk the Beverly 6040 for my guest bathroom and installed three kohler watertiles in the ceiling so that it could be used as a shower. The spout for the tub is also mounted in the ceiling.
I really just want a nicely tiled shower stall. DH is stuck on the mini-tub shower stall. This was after his real estate minded mother said it would be a mistake not to put a tub in the hall bath. I've given up looking, and I'm happy with a shower stall. Now he can look ;).

Many investors hoped the death of Hugo Chávez would bring clarity to Venezuela. Instead, the situation has gotten murkier.
During the months leading up to Chávez's death on March 4, Venezuela's Caracas Stock Exchange IBC Index gained 31%, as investors bet heavily that new leaders would be more friendly to business. Last week the stock market dropped 1.4%.
Elections have been called for April 14, and both Chávez's handpicked successor, Nicolas Maduro, and opposition leader Henrique Capriles signed on by last Monday's deadline. The market reaction, however, should make clear to investors that a quick change is unlikely to be in the offing—no matter who wins the election.
That the market isn't expecting a big change shouldn't come as a shock. Maduro is widely expected to win: He has all the advantages of being Chávez's choice—and therefore the recipient of a sympathy vote—plus, as Venezuela's acting president, he has all the advantages of being the incumbent, including access to money and state television.
Even if Capriles manages to squeak out a victory—he did get 44% of the vote in October, the last election—investors shouldn't expect quick changes. That's because Chávez spent so many years using Venezuela's oil income for social spending that shutting it off would be impossible without everyday Venezuelans expressing their dissatisfaction. "You can't expect a big ship to turn on a dime," says Matt Dabrowski, a political analyst at Citigroup in New York.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING investors can expect—extreme uncertainty as Venezuela comes to grips with living in a post-Chávez world. Without its charismatic leader, it will be hard to ignore that its economic growth is forecast to slip to a near-stagnant 1%, that its oil production has been stagnant for much of the past 10 years, despite reserves larger than Saudi Arabia's, and that its inflation rate is above 20%.
Change will have to come, but it could be painful and time-consuming. "The problem isn't seeing the light at the end of the tunnel," says Auerbach Grayson's Elena Castro. "It's how long it takes to get there."
Investors can still look for companies that might benefit when Venezuela does open up. They should be selective, however. Investors should probably watch, rather than buy, companies that get a decent chunk of their revenue from the Latin American nation.
That group includes packaged-foods company East Asiatic eac.ko -1.2903225806451613% East Asiatic Co. A/S Denmark: OMX DKK76.5 -1 -1.2903225806451613% /Date(1427925574000-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 61007 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 956974541.015625 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 848771 More quote details and news » (ticker: EAC.Denmark), which gets 70% of its revenue from Venezuela, and Colombian food-company Grupo Nutresa (NUTRESA.Colombia).
"I would not invest in those companies right now," Castro says. "I think it's better to have them on your radar screen."
A safer bet: Multinationals working Venezuela's oil fields do most of their business in other, safer environs. Those include Chevron CVX -0.18098685463897884% Chevron Corp.

"Maduro knows he has to get oil production up," says Russ Dallen, managing partner at Caracas Capital Markets. If Maduro achieves that, "the payoff for investors could be phenomenal," he adds.
