Saginaw's Deputy Fire Marshal Ralph Martin brought his fire safety program to Saginaw High School.
This is fire prevention week, and he wants to make sure even the big kids know what to do in case of a fire.
"It's definitely important. Sometimes when you get kind of complacent and don't hear the message over and over as much as you do at junior highs and elementary schools," said Martin. "You kind of forget or put it to the side. We try to remind them of how important it is to practice fire safety."
In addition to the fire safety talk, Martin also spoke about the job.
"I also talked about the career of being a firefighter just in case some of them had interest in wanting to be a firefighter someday," Martin said.
Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors all took part in the fire prevention program today, and even though they've seen the program several times throughout their educational careers, they always come away with something they didn't know before.
"I didn't know that if you was in a second-story building to just, like, hang and then drop instead of just diving out there," said freshman Kevyn Reyes.
Some of the kids' families already have escape plans in place, and the point was stressed about practice, practice, practice.
"It's very important to practice, because if you don't practice with them or let them know a little something, they may get stuck and there probably isn't a chance for them," said senior Marquavis Johnson.

Larry David, Jerry Seinfeld: Nothing But Net Worth
By Richard Horgan on August 20, 2013 10:50 AM
What's $100 million between very rich friends? We don't usually cover reverse-PR gambits like this one today from intelligence firm Wealth-X, but in this case it was too fun to pass up.
According to Wealth-X's research, revenues from Curb Your Enthusiasm plus the bounty of a fifth Seinfeld syndication deal earlier this year have David sitting at $900 million in net worth. As such, he is the "wealthiest comedian" ahead of Seinfeld ($800 million), Letterman ($390M), Cosby ($360M) and Sandler ($290M).
In the debut episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry and Larry agreed no one was better at wasting time than the two of them. David also confessed he always wished Seinfeld would get canceled, so he could stop working.

Experts say Syrian president is 'delusional, helpless'
Little has changed in Assad's methods, int'l pressure and a growing body count aren't persuading a man fighting for his life.

With his country embroiled in its fourth month of protests and bloodshed – leading to at least 1,200 citizens killed across Syria, and more than 10,000 refugees fleeing the country for Turkey –
President Bashar Assad took to the podium
in Damascus on Monday for his first national address in two months.
Over an hour later, it was clear, experts say, that little has changed in Assad's methods, and that international pressure and a growing body count aren't persuading a man who is fighting for his life.

Protesters take to streets in Syria after Assad speech
Andrew J. Tabler of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said the speech showed that while Assad is clearly worried about the situation in Syria, he is choosing to stick to the same platitudes he has relied on for years.
"He's trying to give us a bunch of words to placate those who are abroad and to placate the protestors, but there are no real specifics on what he'll do," Tabler said.
"Clearly, the length of the speech and what he [Assad] talked about indicate that he's worried – but at the same time, he's saying the protests are being driven by criminals and conspirators, or that it isn't that big a deal or that big in numbers.
So it's a weird combination, and I think that he is seemingly trying to bury the issue.
It's very hard for him to admit that he has this problem, which would be admitting internal weakness," he added.
Tabler, the co-founder and former editor-in-chief of Syria Today, the first private-sector English language magazine in the country, said that Assad's contention that foreign "conspirators" and "saboteurs" were bringing chaos to Syria "is an old thing for Assad; not just during this crisis, but throughout his presidency."
Tabler said that Assad will "continue to do the same thing he's been doing: more security solutions, he'll form some committees [for reform], and just hope that people go home and that the international community gets off his back."
He added that "the difference between the protestors' demands and what the state is offering are so vast that it's not conducive to settling the plan."
According to Tabler, the time has passed for reforms, and the anti-government demonstrators have every reason to push on until the end, however long it takes.
"It seems like the protestors are doing a pretty good job so far," he said. "They know that if they leave the squares they'll lose their leverage on Assad and then they'll only be able to go home and wait for the security forces to knock on their doors.
So they have a pretty strong reason to stay out."
For Yoni Ben-Menahem, Israel Radio director and chief editor, Assad's speech showed that the situation for his regime could not be clearer.
"He's trying to contain the situation, but it's helpless," Ben-Menahem said. "No one [in Syria] believes him anymore.
He's slaughtering his people, more than 10,000 refugees – and the massacres are continuing."
When asked what Assad's remaining options are – assuming that promises of reforms won't placate demonstrators – he said: "his option is to fight to the end. He cannot leave – if he steps down the Alawites will be slaughtered. Like [Libyan leader Muammar] Gaddafi, he will continue to the end."
Assad's lengthy speech Monday gave indications of a man out of touch with reality, according to Professor Eyal Zisser, director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies, and the head of the Department of Middle Eastern and African History at Tel Aviv University.
"It was bizarre. After three months that the country is burning, this is what he has to say. He won't let the facts fool him; he'll keep saying the same things."
Zisser said that Assad's nonspecific promises of reform miss the point, which is that the problem for the demonstrators on the street is the regime itself, not particular laws or regulations.
"The problem isn't a stipulation in the Syrian laws; the problem is the regime itself. His only option is to continue with the path he's on," said Zisser.
He added that the speech showed that efforts by Turkey to force his hand have not reaped any rewards.
"I don't see that the Turks have had any sort of influence.
He made it clear that he thinks that he must continue as he is. He doesn't understand what has changed. He's a dictator, this is how a dictator sees things."

While Democrats' latest back-room deal is being reported as a moderate compromise due to minor concessions being made to Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE), legislation being considered in the Senate (H.R. 3590) would still represent a government takeover of health care, with all of its adverse effects on the American people:
Higher Premiums: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has confirmed that the legislation would raise health care premiums for struggling middle-class families, resulting in non-group premium increases of $300 per year for individuals and $2,100 for families. While the Obama campaign promised that its plan would reduce premiums by $2,500 per year for families, CBO confirmed that premiums will still continue to rise-and for millions, premiums will rise higher than under current law.
Job-Killing Taxes: The bill still contains more than $400 billion in tax increases, many of which start in 2010-exactly the wrong solution for American families during a severe recession. The Congressional Budget Office previously noted that mandates on employers to offer insurance "could reduce the hiring of low-wage workers, whose wages could not fall by the full cost of...a substantial pay-or-play fee if they were close to the minimum wage." Moreover, other taxes included in the bill-such as those on drugs, medical devices, and-would be passed on to individuals and families in the form of higher premiums.
Lost Coverage: CBO has confirmed that up to 10 million people will lose their offer of employer-sponsored health coverage under the Senate bill-to say nothing of the millions of seniors who will lose access to Medicare Advantage plans. Contrary to President Obama's repeated promises that "You will not have to change [health insurance] plans," CBO also found that "relatively few non-group policies would remain grandfathered by 2016"-meaning millions of individuals will lose their current individual health insurance plans as a result of Democrats' government takeover of health care.
Higher Health Costs: The Obama Administration's own actuaries have confirmed that the Senate bill, like the Pelosi House bill, would raise, not lower, the growth of health care costs-raising serious questions about the sustainability of the massive new entitlements being created.
Trillions in New Spending: While Democrats allege the Senate bill would spend "only" $848 billion, a more accurate picture of the bill's spending provisions finds that in its first ten years of full implementation, this "moderate" legislation would spend $2.5 trillion-this at a time when the federal government is already suffering from record deficits and debt.
Government-Run Insurance: The Senate bill maintains a "Fannie Med" program of government-run insurance spearheaded by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)-an approach that would likely result in additional taxpayer liability and massive federal bailouts should this insurance program prove unsustainable. Moreover, the bill places new restrictions on insurance plans, causing millions to lose their current coverage and funneling these individuals into government-run Exchanges.
Federal Funding of Abortions: The manager's amendment maintains the "segregation" regime regarding federal funding being spent on abortion coverage that pro-life groups have denounced as an accounting sham. Moreover, the new national plans run by OPM would have zero restrictions on coverage of elective abortions-an unprecedented expansion of abortion coverage, when the coverage OPM currently provides to federal employees, including Members of Congress, prohibits coverage of elective abortions.
The American people remain greatly concerned about uncontrolled federal spending and record-high unemployment, yet the Democrat "compromise" in the Senate would exacerbate both problems. Many may question: Is this the best "reform" Democrats can achieve-and what are the majority's misplaced priorities that it remains so fixated on enacting a government takeover of health care?

Extension:New User Email Notification
New User Email Notification Release status: stable |
Implementation | Notify | ||
Description | Sends email notification when user accounts are created | ||
Author(s) | Rob Church (Robchurchtalk) | ||
Latest version | 1.5.2 (2011-03-03) | ||
MediaWiki | 1.11+ | ||
Database changes | No | ||
License | GPL | ||
Download |
Translate the New User Email Notification extension if possible |
Check usage and version matrix; code metrics |
The New User Email Notification extension sends a customisable email to specified recipients when a new user account is created. The extension can send to multiple users, and additional email addresses, and is useful for keeping track of account creation on a small wiki.
- Download and extract the files in a directory called
in yourextensions/
folder. If you're a developer and this extension is in a Git repository, then instead you should clone the repository. - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/NewUserNotif/NewUserNotif.php" );
- Done – Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
The behaviour of the extension, including notification recipients, is managed using the configuration variables below:
$wgNewUserNotifTargets : Array containing the usernames or identifiers of those who should receive a notification email; defaults to the first user (usually the wiki's primary administrator)
$wgNewUserNotifEmailTargets : Array containing email addresses to which a notification should also be sent
$wgNewUserNotifSender : Email address of the sender of the email; defaults to the value of $wgPasswordSender
Customising the notification email
The subject and text of the notification email sent to each recipient can be customised using two messages:
Subject line
Parameter | Value |
$1 | Site name |
Body text
Parameter | Value |
$1 | Username of the recipient |
$2 | Username of the new account |
$3 | Site name |
$4 | Date/time of account creation |
$5 | Date of account creation |
$6 | Time of account creation |
Further Customisation
You can fully customize both the subject line and the message body, including adding new parameters which can be passed into both of those generators starting in version 1.5.2.
Further Customisation <1.5.2
Additional fields can be added to the notification e-mail, such as the IP address the requestor by hacking the extension code. To do this, edit NewUserNotif.class.php and in the makeMessage function near the end of the file, add extra parameters to the wfMsgForContent function (for example, adding $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] will give you the new user's IP address.) The parameters continue after the default ones, so the first parameter you add will become $7.
You can then either edit MediaWiki:Newusernotifbody to make use of the new parameter (e.g. add "\n\nThe request came from $7.") or alternatively if you haven't customised the message you can edit NewUserNotif.i18n.php and make the change there to avoid creating a new wiki page (e.g. if your wiki is in English, change the 'en' array.)
Further Customisation - 1.5.2 Forward
Starting in 1.5.2, you can extend the message customisation by using hooks added to the extension which allow you to create new subject and body text without hacking the extension code.
This involves creating an extension to the NewUserNotif extension. For this example, the extension file "ExtendedParamsExample.php" can be found in the extension distribution. It is recommended you create a copy of this file and rename it to something meaningful to your site(s).
You would then include the new extension in your localsettings.php after you included the NewUserNotif.php.
. . . require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/NewUserNotif/NewUserNotif.php" ); require_once( "{$IP}/extensions/NewUserNotif/[yourExtendeParamsExample].php" ); . . .
This available hooks are:
Function | Version | Hook | Description |
New User Email Notification | 1.5.2 | NewUserNotifBody | Create text for message body of notification email |
1.5.2 | NewUserNotifSubject | Create text for the subject line of the new user notification email |
An example extension that uses this is included in the distribution as ExtendedParamsExample.php. For more details, see this Customisation example.

CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez put to rest any doubts about his masterful political touch in winning a third consecutive six-year term after a bitterly fought race against a youthful rival who has galvanized Venezuela's opposition.
The state governor who lost Sunday's presidential vote, Henrique Capriles, had accused the flamboyant incumbent of unfairly using Venezuela's oil wealth to finance his campaign as well as flaunting his near-total control of state institutions.
Still, he accepted defeat as Chavez swept to a 10-point victory margin, the smallest yet for him a presidential race. This time, the former army paratroop commander won 55 percent of the vote against 45 percent for Capriles with more than 90 percent of the vote counted.
Chavez will now have a freer hand to push for an even bigger state role in the economy, as he pledged during the campaign, and to continue populist programs. He's also likely to further limit dissent and deepen friendships with U.S. rivals.
Chavez spent heavily in the months before the vote, building public housing and bankrolling expanded social programs.
"I think he just cranked up the patronage machine and unleashed a spending orgy," said Michael Shifter, president of the Washington-based Inter-American Dialogue think tank.
But Shifter also noted the affinity and gratefulness Venezuela's poor feel for Chavez. "Despite his illness, I still think he retains a strong emotional connection with a lot of Venezuelans that I think were not prepared to vote against him."
"They still think that he's trying hard even if he's not delivering what he promised, that he still has their best interests at heart," Shifter said. "That's the political skill that he has. He hasn't lost that touch."
Chavez spoke little during the campaign about his fight with cancer, which since June 2011 has included surgery to remove tumors from his pelvic region as well as chemotherapy and radiation treatment. He has said his most recent tests showed no sign of illness.
Tensions were high Sunday night as announcement of the results were delayed.
Finally, fireworks exploded over downtown Caracas amid a cacophony of horn-honking by elated Chavez supporters waving flags and jumping for joy outside the presidential palace.
"I can't describe the relief and happiness I feel right now," said Edgar Gonzalez, a 38-year-old construction worker.
He ran through crowds of Chavez supporters packing the streets around the presidential palace wearing a Venezuelan flag as a cape and yelling: "Oh, no! Chavez won't go!"
"It's time now to sweep away the squalid ones," said another elated supporter, Ignacio Gonzalez, using a description of the opposition Chavez employed during campaigning.
"It's time to get them out of governor's and mayor's offices. The next battle is in December," when state and municipal elections will be held, added the 25-year-old student, who wore a red shirt that wedded the images of Chavez, Jesus Christ and South American independence hero Simon Bolivar.
Capriles posed the strongest challenge yet to Chavez, who won by a 27-point margin in 2006 and by 16 points when he was first elected in 1998.
"I will continue working to build one country," said the wiry, 40-year-old grandson of Holocaust survivors who unified and energized the opposition while barnstorming across the country.
He said in his concession speech that he rejects the idea of two Venezuelas divided by ideology and class.

U.S. Guantanamo court for war crimes accused on Tuesday, charges an Iraqi prisoner was described as a senior al-Qaeda commander Shafaq News /
accused of firing a helicopter for medical evacuation and using illegal methods to wage war against U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan.
"Prosecutors claimed that Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi financed and supervised all al- Qaeda operations against U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan from March 2002 until 2004," According to Western reports briefed by "Shafaq News".
"He orders his troops to use illegal multiple means such as attacking civilians and detonating a car bomb and explosive jackets in civilian areas as well as video tading death operations for propaganda purposes".
The reports talked about the accusation list linking Abdul Hadi and his forces in many of the attacks against U.S. military targets and a failed plot to assassinate Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf in the spring of 2002.
"It also accuses him of paying a reward for Taliban for assassinating a civil employee at the United Nations in Afghanistan in 2003," the report added.
Abdel Hadi al-Iraqi, 52 years old is a "high-level member in al-Qaeda" according to the conviction file, he was transferred in April 2007 to the Guantanamo controversial prison, as he faces four specific accusations of conducting actions that breach international laws governing armed conflict, he might face life imprisonment sentence if convicted by the court of U.S. military officers at Guantanamo Bay.
The U.S. Army announced the charges against, Abdul Hadi in a statement for his readiness to start a two-week sessions before the trial to other alleged members of al-Qaeda in courts of Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
This conviction comes the second in nine months out of the 166 detainees at Guantanamo, at a time U.S. President; Barack Obama emphasized his intention to shut down the prison after recently announced that 104 prisoners had carried out a hunger strike to protest the conditions of their detention.

The Summer of 2007 will always be remembered as the 'Summer of the Floods'. There was severe flooding and disruption across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, and the Service dealt with nearly 1000 calls in one 24 hour period alone in July. Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service take pride in the service that they deliver, including rescue and relief work during times of flooding.
Flooding can be very traumatic for anyone that is affected. Follow these simple guidelines to help you stay safe.
What to do When you Hear a Flood Warning
- Listen out for warnings on radio and TV and phone Floodline on 0845 988 1188 for more information.
- Move pets, vehicles, valuables and other items to safety.
- Alert your neighbours, particularly the elderly.
- Put sandbags or flood boards in place - but make sure your property is ventilated. Plug sinks/baths.
- Be ready to turn off gas and electricity (get help if needed). Unplug electrical items and move them upstairs if possible.
- Co-operate with Emergency Services and local authorities - you may be evacuated to a rest centre.
- Do as much as you can in daylight. Doing anything in the dark will be a lot harder and more dangerous, especially if the electricity fails.
Stay Safe in a Flood
- Do not be tempted to go and watch the waves come in – they are dangerous and you will be putting yourself at risk.
- Listen to the local news and to the Emergency Services who will advise if evacuation is necessary and check on elderly relatives and make sure they are ok.
- Floods can kill. Don't try to walk or drive through flood water - six inches of fast flowing water can knock you over and two feet of water will float your car. Manhole covers may have come off and there may be other hazards you can't see.
- Never try to swim through fast flowing water - you may get swept away or be struck by an object in the water.
- Don't walk on sea defences, riverbanks or cross river bridges if possible - they may collapse in extreme situations or you may be swept off by large waves. Beware of stones and pebbles being thrown up by waves.

Archive by Date | Archive by Article Title Blighted Ovum and Conception It's not bad enough that you get stressed about getting pregnant, but then once you are pregnant, there is the stress that something could go wrong. If you're told you have a "blighted ovum," something did go wrong. Choosing a Healthcare Practitioner and conception Do you like your gynecologist? That's good as long as it's just a routine annual Pap smear you see him or her for, but conception is a different matter. Let's discuss why. Vitex - Chaste Berry and Conception Vitex is another name for Chaste Berry. Of course, if you're trying to get pregnant, I doubt you are "chaste"! That name comes from its former use in monks to diminish libido. I don't know if it worked. I think a better, more descriptive name would be "LH booster." Conception Calendar Basics It really is amazing that, despite the fact that women menstruate pretty much every 28-35 days, we often know little about our fertile days. This is how many unintended pregnancies occur! And for those struggling with conceiving, this may also be why that is not working. Wild Yam and Conception Poor wild yams. They suffer from an identity crisis. Many people think they are sweet potatoes, but they are not. People also think that they supply progesterone, but they do not. Douching with conception Think about it...if it were this simple, nobody would bother with birth control. Douching is not an effective means of birth control. Cinnamon and conception Cinnamon is such a tasty spice, and it can even help your fertility. And this is a double-duty spice--it's good for the men, too. At last, an easy and inexpensive addition to your diet to help you conceive! Trying to conceive another baby It is not unusual for couples trying to conceive baby #2 or #3 or even #4 to encounter obstacles. Miscarriage after a successful pregnancy is common, although many couples do not discuss it openly. Magnesium and conception As women, we hear a lot about how important calcium is to our health, especially our bones, but perhaps more important is magnesium. Magnesium also plays a role in conception. Freezing embryos and conception Rapid improvements in embryo freezing have changed the IVF game. Now the option to bank a bunch of frozen embryos and still have good pregnancy rates is here.

How do you get mail in "mbox" fomat into Gmail via pop?
March 4, 2007
How do you get mail in "mbox" fomat into Gmail via pop?
I am trying to move my mail from an IMAP webmail account into gmail and then back up the whole thing via a pop client. So there are two steps,
Step 1: Getting the mail to gmail.
I've currently got all the webmail downloaded through thunderbird and saved in local folders in mbox format. The first thing I found was "gmail loader". This program sends all the messages in the T-bird mbox file to gmail one by one. While this works pretty well, the date displayed by gmail are all wrong and the messages are in reverse order. Now I'm trying to use gmail's new mail fetcher function to pull the messages off a pop server as this seems to preserve the dates properly.
To this end, I set up a pop server on my computer with a program called "Personal Mail Server Pro". The server stores the messages in ".msg" format and works fine and gmail can extract messages that are on the server if they arrived there as an email. The problem is that when I convert the mbox to ".msg" files w/ Thunderstor and manually put them in the mail directory, these messages don't get served properly. Clients see them as new messages but they don't download and things just hang.
I investigated the ".msg" files created by the pop server and the ones extracted from the mbox file and they appear to be of two different formats. The ones created by the server look like gibberish in notepad while the ones extracted by Thunderstor (that don't work), look like normal legible emails.
So basically, how do I get these messages onto a pop server without forwarding them? Can I convert the ".msg" files to the server format somehow and just drag them into the directory in Windows Explorer? Is there a way to copy the messages onto the pop server through a client like you can do w/ IMAP emails?
Step 2: Backup the emails that were already on gmail locally
I was able to download all the messages that were already on Gmail w/ outlook express (T-bird kept timing out), but the drafts and sent mail ended up in in the local inbox in addition to the normal inbox content.
Is there a way to get them to download in the appropriate folders? And if not, is there a way to label the messages by in gmail so that those labels persist when transferred to a client and I can then reorganize them into inbox, drafts, and sent mail accordingly?

I think I figured out the second part: stuff that is in the gmail trash doesnt get pulled by the client. If I mark the entire inbox and draft folder as trash and then download the mail, it only gets the sent mail.
The first qustion still stands though.

Whenever I wire Gmail into a POP3 client, I always set up a message filter to match the sender against the Gmail account itself, mark any such message as read, and move it to the local Sent box. That keeps the local and remote Sent boxes pretty much in sync. I don't generally leave a lot of things lying around in Drafts, and it hadn't occurred to me that Gmail would POP those as well; I'd probably just move mine by hand.
As far as I know, the Gmail labelling system is web-interface only. You can use
to turn the web interface into a local POP3 server for download and backup purposes; its
Gmail plugin
supports per-label downloads.
FreePOPs is actually a very useful tool for making almost anything accessible via POP3. By writing a small plugin (in Lua, a
very straightforward scripting language
) it could even be made to serve messages from an mbox as POP3 mails, which would let you use it with the Gmail POP3 import thing to do your initial upload.

Mailtraq is working perfectly, good stuff! Now I have a follow up: How do I get the sent mails that gmail pulls off of the mailtraq pop server to appear as sent mails?
Since gmail appears to keep all the mail in one directory, It must have some way of determining if somthing is sent mail. My first thought was that it made all mails with the gmail address in the "from" considered "sent mail". I was led to believe this because Gmail loader changes the "from" field in the email to the gmail address if you ask it to send stuff to the gmail sent mail area.
However, gmail also knows to put the messages that I ask it to send from a non gmail address in the sentmail folder and the "from" field on those remains as the address from the non gmail domain. So the critical field is not the "From" field.
I did some snooping and compared the files and it appears that gmail makes the distinction as followes:
IF "From" = "Gmail Address", message = sent mail
But also, if gmail is sending mail to look like it is coming from a non-gmail domain, it adds a "sender" field containing the gmail address. And, when differtiating, gmail checks the "sender" field first before looking at the "from" field:
IF "sender" = "Gmail Adderss", message = sentmail
Does this sound reasonable?
If this is correct, Is there an easy way to put this "sender" field in all the local sent messages so that when gmail hits the pop server, they end up in sent mail?
posted by
on March 6, 2007
After further investigation, that stuff about the "sender" field doesn't appear to be true. It seems that the way gmail knows the mail it sends to look like it's from another domain belongs in sentmail is that if the "from" field matches any of the "send as" addresses or the actualy gmail address, then it is sent mail.
So, as with gmail loader, any mail gmail pulls from a POP server that meets the "sentmail" criteria ends up in both the inbox and the sentmail and then, if you "archive" the message it disappears form the inbox, remains in the sentmail, and starts behaving like any other piece of sentmail in gmail. It seems that the reason mail sent from gmail doesn't end up in the inbox is b/c gmail automatically archives sent messages.
I haven't actually done this w/ my real account, but I've been experementing with throwaway accounts and I think I've made sense of the mechanisms at work. If all this stuff is in fact true, then gmail stores all messages, both inbox and sent, in one directory and uses this rule to sort them in to the appropriate catagories. Probably using some flag to do the same with drafts.

The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day ain't got time to bleed.
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
How badass is Steve Wang? Not only did he help create one of the most iconic monsters of the all time in the Predator that dude could do it one-handed, as evidenced in the below BTS shots.
Wang not only worked on the Predator suit, but he also was in charge of the awesomely designed Gillman suit from Monster Squad. I don't know what it is about his technique, especially back in the '80s, but that dude could make a man in suit look absolutely biologically animalistic. Look closely at the coloring on the Predator in the below shots… it just works. I buy that creature has its own biology and don't doubt it as a real live badass hunter from another world for one second.
So, here's Steve Wang at work making a monster. The first pic comes from reader Marc Nagel and the second from Jay Kushwara.

Not only is he a talented mfx artist but a talented director as well.
I like the weights, but if he doesn't have a lock on the end of those, they tend to warble around a lot (possibly off the rod). It makes me think that shot was posed.
If I lived to be 1000 I would never be in a picture as cool as that.
If memory serves, wasn't there a previous Predator suit made and filmed that was eventually rejected in favor of the one shown above? I think Van Damme may have even been the "man in suit". Would be impressed with BTS pix of THAT!
His work on Guyver 2: Dark Hero was absolutely amazing. The Guyver suit was incredible. His creatures are extreme and yet the costumes have a flexibility that when in action you don't see the kinds of wrinkles that give away that it's a costume. How he does that is a complete mystery. And getting the chance to appreciate his work on Predator is even more intensified when seen on blu-ray. Nolan should have had him design the Batman suits. He would have made them functional and flexible.

Steve Wang directed the action-packed, kung fu-tastic Mark Dacascos movie DRIVE. For a while now Steve has been waiting to direct a new sci-fi actioner starring Mark Dacascos, called MAN OF ACTION. How be brilliant would that be?! But the producer keeps stalling, which is very frustrating. So what I say is this: I think that Harry and the rest of aintitcool and everyone who digs Steve Wang... should start an on-line campaign to start the ball rolling on the MAN OF ACTION production. We want MAN OF ACTION! We want it now!!!
And Steve was responsible for one of the better American martial arts films..Drive. If you haven't seen in, get your ass to a vid store and do so. Mark Dacascos, Kadeem Hardison, Brittany Murphy (before clueless) and Masaya Kato (Fighter in the Wind baddie) If you like, check out my review here, but go find it!: http://kiaikick.com/2010/06/21/review-drive-1996/ It's a really fun film I think many of you would enjoy!
Come on Quint - can't you start the 'We Want MAN OF ACTION To Start Filming' campaign?! Please!
Didn't know that Wang did the Guyver Suit for Guyver 2. That movie is one of my great guilty pleasures. Just watching the stunt fights in the suit is almost enough to make me ignore what a shitty actor David Hayter was at the time. But that was pre-Solid Snake so maybe he took some lessons. Now I am compelled to go dig it out of my collection and give it another look. Gahh! All Glory to the HypnoToad!
The skin, the eyes, even the technology was very convincing. Not bad for violent guy movie.
Yeah, he co-wrote the story, designed the Guyver suit and the creatures and directed the movie. That's a lot of work. I love Guyver 2: Dark Hero despite all its "little problems". It's unevenly executed, but it's actually a great story. The action in the movie is top notch. I didn't mind Hayter in the role, he was way better than the guy in part one. Yeah, I think I'll watch it tonight. Ha!
The Macho Man was my favorite wrestler. The first wrestling match I ever saw on tv was highlights of Savage using the foreign object to knockout Tito Santana for the Intercontinental title. RIP Randy Poffo.
Thanks for the information on Man Of Action, baryonyx! Drive is frickin' superb, so I really wanna see Steve making a new Dacascos flick! I like your idea for an online campaign to get Man Of Action rolling, and I'm sure aintitcool is the place to start trying to persuade the money men to get the frickin' financing in place for this new Wang film. Come on, already!
The biped body isn't all that special, but that fucker's mouth is the stuff of nightmares. Brilliant.
Steve also created the brilliant Abe Sapien suit for Hellboy.
Yea, I have a Predator hard on...you can tell I'm a fan by just looking at my screen name. These days what do we have? Action movies that depend waaaaaaaaaaay too much on special FX to sell the movie..*coughTransformers3cough*...Arnold has baby mama drama, and we all have to come to accept that the Aliens vs Predator series did happen. I'll still always have the original Predator to look back on to show me how great the classics are. Oh and let's not forget Danny Glover's dickblood!
You have to thank James THE KING Cameron for that.yep.

The Predator as it was written in the screenplay was better...
by Ironhelix
...Insectoid, and wielding a spear/glaive. It was far more sporting than what we got. Made more sense as a "recreational hunter". The final predator design never really did it for me.
...I love Predator, I just was underwhelmed by "lizard-man with clawed vagina-mouth". Probably because I read the story before seeing the film.
Just sayin'.
You're right: Steve needs to make another movie. He needs to be given the go-ahead to start directing his balls-to-the-wall, science fiction fight-fest (in 3D) movie MAN OF ACTION! Mark Dacascos was enthusing about it on Twitter late last year & I've heard stuff about the kind of fight scenes to be featured in the film: it will kick ass! Mark & Steve both really want to start this movie: somebody MAKE it happen!
LOL on this early morning.
The monster Sammael: Hound of Resurrection, from the first Hellboy film, was a really good critter, built by Steve.

Predator: a monster so badass you HAVE to work out while making the suit!
by MrMysteryGuest
And mullets. Don't forget the mullets.
- you all realize that Predator is not a classic monster design, and was really more of a retro design, kind of like something from an old scifi pulp universe from the 50's. With dreads. Not saying the movie is bad, it's GREAT. But let's not kid ourselves about the design of Predator. It's just a jacked up bounty hunter from Empire Strikes Back, a background player in the cantina scene with fancy mechanics on the mouth...or even .... a design from a scifi TV show in the early 80's like Buck Rogers with more money where it's mouth is... literally. It's a step backwards from the creative leaps made by movies like ALIEN, The Thing, or even the horror visions of something like Jacob's Ladder. The paint job was great on it though and totally made it work! Very earthly amphibious-like elements.
There is no alien in Star Wars, Empire, or Jedi that looks as cool as the Predator. Almost every alien looks like it's wearing a rubber mask. The Predator looks alive!

Atheron... it looks like a weightlifter in a suit to me...
by ufoclub1977
Which is lifelike in a way;) But really, the part that is cool is the mouth as far as movement, and the paint job is aces. But, designwise, it's just a bodybuilder in a rubber suit, and that's all it was to me the first time I saw it too. I'm a huge creature-file too... used to constantly draw creatures of all kinds. But look at that still photo of the suit being painted up... that could easily be a Jabba guard or bounty hunter. It just so happens it was the featured alien, so they gave it a fancy mouth. Again, I like the first Predator movie a lot! I just never got the bug to draw the monster, and that's a personal sign to me that it wasn't that interesting a design. Just my opinion.
I agree with you: I like STAR WARS, but its alien designs were not too realistic compared to the Predator design. In fact, most of the cantina aliens were very Halloween mask-like.
C'mon now, ufoclub1977! The aliens in Jabba's court ALL look like muppets. The Predator, on the other hand, looks real!
The alien concepts in Star Wars and other "alien" creature movies were more complex and unique. Whereas the Predator is still a basic humanoid-type creature only being unique in its design of head and mouth. Which is the way it had always been done in sci-fi/horror movies for 30-40 years before that. The difference though with Predator that makes it work is how Steve Wang designs them. The Predator was brilliantly designed and came off like a "real" reptile-like yet humanoid creature. It looks and still feels "alien" and different. It many ways it's scarier, because it's a life-form that is much like "us" but bigger, stronger and far more cunning; the skin looked reptilic, and of course the face was disturbing and frightening, but, what really makes it scary is that it is a thinking creature. A formidable opponent. A creature designed to be a warrior. The Alien creature was scary too, but there was a very insect-like concept to it that allowed us to not relate in any way. It's not a thinking creature like the Predator, it's still smart and horribly frightening, but its main design is simply survival. But, what really makes the Alien creature so terrible is that it breeds in countless numbers incredibly fast, so you are eventually taken over by a swarm of them. Like cockroaches. UGH! One Predator is a nightmare, one Alien isn't, but multiple Aliens is hell. They are both pretty...fucked up. But what would you rather go up against? A swarm of intelligent Predators? Or a swarm of mindless over-sized cockroaches?

All I'm saying is if you walked in The Sharper Image store
by ufoclub1977
and saw the life size Predator and the life size ALIEN (or any incarnation of The Thing)... well, one is a lot more interesting and contemporary to me then the other. I think designs like Predator and the skeletal Terminator robot (also shaped like a body builder) are very retro and 50's like from a design/conceptual view. They are like old school monsters before truly creative designs in monster movies happened. The predator looks, acts, and has accessories that are very human...not alien at all. It feels like something that would have evolved from reptiles/amphibians on Earth. Actually if you look at other real animals on Earth, even monkeys, they are all more imaginatively different then the human form (not that I'm attributing that to someone's imagination... ;). Actually the Predator seems like an old Star Trek universe alien. Like a fancy high budget take on the Gorn. You can see how in Terminator 2, the liquifying robot is a much more contemporary interesting concept. The old version robot (under Arnold's skin) is straight up evolved out of the late 70-early 80's shows Buck Rogers or even Bionic Woman (Fembots) on steroids. I agree that the way they used the Predator in the film is great (and filmed on location too!). And his mouth movement was cool. But at the same time it just looks like a human body builder with rubber dreadlocks is the basic design with a 4 hinged jaw, and an earthly toad/frog style paint job and shine.
One for Van Damme and a second one for Kevin Peter Hall? I don't see how the two would fit in the same one. Judging by the size this looks like it is the Van Damme suit...
I think we have to take into account what each movie was about: ALIEN was constructed like a killer-on-the-loose horror mystery, set in space. So the Alien in that film is horrific and is designed so that, initially, the viewer only sees parts of it (its tail, its elongated head, its back spines), which adds to the mystery. In THE THING the story is about an alien that can change its shape/take on the attributes of its hosts, so the various Thing designs came about based on that concept. In PREDATOR it's about a military team being picked-off by an alien that likes hunting down prey on other planets: that's the concept - it's an alien that likes the sport of hunting, and it uses tech to keep it almost invisible as it tracks its prey. It has human attributes because that works with this particular story.
After reading on this thread about Wang's Man of Action movie, I dug around and found this Twitch interview with Mark Dacascos (the interview is mainly about a Dacascos movie called Song of the Knife.) Anyway, in the interview, he does mention he's looking forward to re-teaming with Drive director Steve Wang to make Man of Action. Here's a link: http://twitchfilm.com/news/2010/03/mark-dacascos-returns-to-martial-arts-action-in-song-of-the-knife.php

and has no plans to change its expansion plans this year (remains 100k sq ft for FY14) unless there is severe gold supply issue. Titan also confirms that large format store expansion is now complete and it is looking to add marginal area in L2 (where inventory is owned by Titan, but retail operations are run by franchise) and L3 (where inventory ownership and retail operation are with franchisee).
Challenges but competitive advantages: Titan believes that its scale and reputation gives it a significant competitive advantage over smaller organised jewellers in funding working capital or even securing supply of gold. In effect, the leasing ban has actually made Titan stronger than competitors.
Near-term demand: Q2 gold demand is likely to be weak as it is a seasonally weaker quarter and also due to advanced purchases by consumers in the last quarter (when jewellery sales were up 47% y-o-y). Titan also decided not to sell gold coins (which usually is under 10% of sales) but its diamond promotion in this quarter has done well, and revenue mix will be substantially better than the last quarter which should make up for weaker gold jewellery sales. In particular, its Inara (affordable diamond jewellery range, priced below R500k, but designed to give the appearance of large ticket diamond jewellery) got a good response in market.
But watches are going through a rough patch: Watch margins and demand are clearly under pressure. Last quarter same-store growth declined 1% y-o-y and Q2 is unlikely to be better. INR weakness has weighed on margins (50% of components are imported) and Titan had to take another price hike to keep the margins from falling. Strategically too, Titan is working towards making the Titan brand positioning as more premium, which should help address the balance of margins and volumes. Titan has also invested in a stainless steel case factory with the technical assistance of Seiko, the Japanese watch maker, which will reduce its reliance on imports.
Fragrance new launch: Titan has launched six variants of �Skin� brand perfumes (three for men and women each)

Level Playing Fields in International Financial Regulation
We analyze the desirability of level playing fields in international financial regulation. In general, level playing fields impose the standards of the weakest regulator upon the best-regulated economies. However, they may be desirable when capital is mobile because they counter a "cherry-picking" effect that lowers the size and efficiency of banks in weaker economies. Hence, while a "laissez faire" policy favors the better-regulated economy, level playing fields are good for weaker regulators. We show that multinational banking mitigates the cherry-picking effect, and reduces the damage that a level playing field causes in the better-regulated economy.

Does hapten exposure predispose to atopic disease? The hapten-atopy hypothesis
Trends in Immunology, Volume 30, Issue 2, 1 February 2009, Pages 67-74
J.P. McFadden, J.M.L. White, D.A. Basketter and I. Kimber
AbstractContact allergy data indicates that atopics have heightened oral tolerance to haptens (chemical allergens). We speculate here, that artificially increased oral exposure to chemicals compete with dietary proteins for the development of oral tolerance, predisposing to the acquisition of food protein allergy and representing one driver for the increasing prevalence of protein allergy and/or atopy. Hapten exposure via other surfaces such as the skin and airways might also be important in promoting atopic disease. Consistent with this hypothesis it is notable that over 40 years, with the huge increase in atopic disease, there has also been an increase in dietary hapten exposure through processed food, formula milk and oral antibiotic and drug use.

The Multitasking Organ: Recent Insights into Skin Immune Function
Immunity, Volume 35, Issue 6, 23 December 2011, Pages 857-869
Paola Di Meglio, Gayathri K. Perera and Frank O. Nestle
SummaryThe skin provides the first line defense of the human body against injury and infection. By integrating recent findings in cutaneous immunology with fundamental concepts of skin biology, we portray the skin as a multitasking organ ensuring body homeostasis. Crosstalk between the skin and its microbial environment is also highlighted as influencing the response to injury, infection, and autoimmunity. The importance of the skin immune network is emphasized by the identification of several skin-resident cell subsets, each with its unique functions. Lessons learned from targeted therapy in inflammatory skin conditions, such as psoriasis, provide further insights into skin immune function. Finally, we look at the skin as an interacting network of immune signaling pathways exemplified by the development of a disease interactome for psoriasis.

Dean J Tantillo and K.N Houk
SummaryThe structures, obtained by X-ray crystallography, of the binding sites of catalytic antibodies raised to bind different phosphonates are compared. Although the amino acid sequences differ, all exhibit a tetrahedral array of hydrogen bond donors (a 'canonical binding array') complementary to the tetrahedral anion, which represents a 'transition state epitope' for the basic hydrolysis of esters and amides. Antibodies for phosphates, arsonates, and sulfonates are found also to possess the tetrahedral anion canonical binding array.

Somehow Game-Tuts managed to find a way to get around Microsoft's protection software. There is at least one video of in-game play out on YouTube already. The game doesn't appear to be leaked out for widespread use yet, but enough people have gained access to it to fill the Internet with spoilers.
Odds are, Reach is available on a few private torrent clients right now. That means it is probably only a matter of time before someone takes the risk of putting it somewhere relatively public. Even so, I don't expect Bungie is too put out over this. Halo: Reach (like every other Halo game) is going to sell like gangbusters, a review copy leak won't change that.
