Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver SurferPosted Monday, October 1, 2007, at 10:37 AM
As with every Tuesday, Movie Gallery beckons movie lovers to come check out all the new releases available for rental. This week, I hit up the new Fantastic Four.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer This show picks up directly after the first Fantastic Four movie and does very little to explain the film's universe, thus it is almost required to view the first Fantastic Four before popping in this new one. If you are familiar with comic books, you know that Fantastic Four has always been a bit more on the 'family' issues side and this movie does a lot to keep that intact. However, they also strive to keep the rating as far away from R as possible, so many scenes are reduced from grown up talk to simplified children speak. This and the somewhat lackluster action sequences keep the film rated PG. Something the filmmakers arguably strived for which leaves a huge target audience. This film is 'safe' for just about anyone to view. The new movie has the Fantastic Four battling family issues of getting married, having and raising kids, getting along, teamwork, and more. They also have two new villains to worry about, the Silver Surfer and his master, Galactus. Dr. Doom from the first show comes back and adds another twist. This line up of villians are trying to destroy the earth. The Fantastic Four are left to find out why and stop it. The Silver Surfer becomes more than he seems as the line between enemy and friend is blurred. Kids will love the newest entry into superhero cinema, however adults may find it a bit harder to swallow. However, it is worth a watch and will provide a good night of entertainment for the entire family. Check back next week as Evan Almighty, Surf's Up, and more are coming out. The place to get them is Movie Gallery in McCook. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

Petition of Retention: Dr. Peter Ammermann
As you all know, Dr. Peter Ammermann has not been recommended for retention here at California State University, Long Beach. As alumni, faculty, staff, students, and concerned friends of Dr. Ammermann, we are outraged by the Dean
The current and past students of CSULB, faculty, stuff, and concerned friends of Dr. Peter Ammermann.
Who to contact:
Vu Q. Chu- firstname.lastname@example.com
Khai Nguyen- firstname.lastname@example.com
Make sure to check back at this website for updates.
Save Dr Pete flyers are now made. They will be circulated and passed around.
Dean Calingo CANCELLED the meeting next tuesday!!!
We have about 50 students sign this petition online already. Keep up the good work guys! And remember to spread the word! Have a good weekend!
Event: Student Meeting with Dean Calingo
Where: Dean Calingo\'s Office, CBA 2nd Floor
When: Tomorrow, Tuesday April 27, 2004 @ 10 A.M.
The Meeting with Dean Calingo went pretty well. We had alot of support, we thank everyone who came.
Event: Student Meeting with AVP Kathleen Cohn & Possibly Provost Reichard & President Maxson
Where: Brotman Hall Conference Room 391, 3rd Fl.
When: Wednesday May 5, 2004 @ 10:30 A.M.
The meeting with Dr Reichard and Kathleen Cohn went pretty well. There were 11 students present, all in all we accomplished what we wanted to get done: to voice our opinions and concerns and i believed it was well recieved; alot better than during the meeting with Dean Calingo.
We would like to thank every person for his/her efforts and support during the campaign. We could not have done this if we did not unite and make our voices heard. Dr. Ammermann has done a lot for each and every one of us, and in my opinion, this is the least we can do to repay him.
By the way, the petition has surpased 100 signatures! Way to go!
Not much update lately, finals are right around the corner. The Provost will make his decision mid June, so its just a wait till then. Good Luck on finals everyone, and thanks for your continued support.

Friday Night Thoughts
Hey everyone! Please don't get too accustomed to weekend postings, but from time to time, it is possible that I will write. Then, instead of spending a bunch of time getting all caught up on Monday, you can read a little at a time each day.
The wins played against the Dodgers yesterday. Sidney Ponson got the start and it didn't go so well. In just two innings, he gave up four earned runs on seven hits and a walk. It was his first "A" game, so it really is not worth making too much out of this yet. Carlos Silva came in and went four innings. He gave up four runs (3 earned) on eight hits. He struckout one. Juan Rincon struckout two in his shutout inning of relief, and then Errol Simonitsch threw a shutout frame. Luis Rodriguez had a big game. He played 3B and went 2-3 with two home runs and four RBI! Rondell White was also 2-3 with a homer. He also stole a base which is a great sign. Joe Mauer was 2-3. Torii Hunter homered.
Former Twins Update (Friday games):
Levale Speigner pitched 3.2 innings for the Washington Nationals. He gave up three hits, but he did not give up any runs. It will be interesting to see if he sticks with the Nationals, or if they will offer him back to the Twins.
Kevin Cameron is in the same position with the San Diego Padres. His Friday performance wasn't quite as impressive. He went just 2/3 of an inning and gave up two runs on four hits and four walks.
Michael Restovich went 0-3 as the Nats DH. Danny Ardoin caught for the team and went 1-3 with an RBI.
Terry Tiffee went 0-1 and played some 3B for the O's. Scott Tyler got the only batter he faced out.
David Ortiz had a big day. He was 2-2 with a double and a home run. For the Sox, Alex Ochoa went 1-5 with a double.
Brent Abernathy went 0-1 with a run scored.
JC Romero threw an inning for the Red Sox. He gave up an unearned run and a hit.
Beau Kemp had a rough outing for the Blue Jays. He got one out and he gave up three hits and three walks for five runs.
Luis Rivas was 0-3 with an RBI for Cleveland. Casey Blake was 0-3 with a run.
For the Reds, Javy Valentin played 1B and went 0-3. Juan Castro went 1-2. Chad Moeller pinch hit and went 0-1.
Ruben Sierra pinch hit for the Mets. He was 0-1 but did have an RBI.
Kenny Rogers started for the Tigers and gave up two runs on five hits (one homer) in three innings.
Willie Eyre gave up two runs on a hit and a walk in one inning for the Rangers. He did strike out two.
Todd Walker played some 2B for the Padres. He went 1-3 with a double. Rob Bowen went 1-3 as the Pads catcher.
Henry Blanco and Jacque Jones each went 0-2 for the Cubs. Blanco caught and Jones played RF.
Shannon Stewart went 1-3 and played LF for the A's.
Alex Romero played RF and went 0-1 with the Diamondbacks.
Former Twin Mark Redman, who was an All-Star last July, was just signed to a Minor-League contract by the Atlanta Braves... but only after Mike Hampton injured his oblique and will be out up to three months.
Many have asked what ever happened to former Twin Michael Nakamura. Well, he has been playing in Japan for a few years... and he has his own blog, in both English and Japanese.
I posted
this later yesterday, but just to remind you:
Hey ya'll, please head
over to
The Baseball Analysts
site today or this weekend for
their AL Central Preview. You might even recognize one of
the participants.
Twin Cities Dugout prospect profiles are now up for #19 Brock Peterson and #18 Paul Kelly.
Nick & Nick are doing position-by-position analyses ofr the Twins players. Here are: Catchers, First Base and Second Base.
Again, not sure if or how many updates there may be over the weekend, but stop by, check the comments and participate. Or, e-mail me.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Blau has a cherry purple glint and shows an interesting range of aromatic notes and complexity. Fresh and balanced, complex and fruity, with notes completely reflecting the terroir. This wine has a fresh finish, with a hint of spice and minerality.
"Vivid ruby. Ripe red fruit aromas are complemented by notes of candied rose and violet, with a peppery topnote. Juicy and seamless in texture, with lively raspberry and cherry flavors showing good energy and lift. Closes on a gently sweet note of clinging red fruit and spice." 89 Points International Wine Cellar
The D.O. Montsant, where Can Blau is located, is a horse shoe shaped appellation that surrounds the D.O. Priorat on three sides. It should have been included on the Priorat appellation but was excluded. Can Blau is composed of 60 acres of vineyards with an average age of 35 years. The soils are similar to Priorat with Montsant being a bit more complex with a mixture of slate (llicorella), sandy clay and chalk.
The third largest country in production, Spain ranks first in land under vine. Diversity and innovation are the key factors bringing Spain back into the world wine market. The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino...Read More About Other Spain

September 8, 2011 New York, NY-- On the tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, CODEPINK today announced the launch of Create, Not Hate a national campaign geared at mobilizing communities across the nation to use culture as a tool against fear and endless war. People are filling in Make [ ], Not War signs with their own intentions for positively countering violence, whether by making friends or amends or music. CODEPINK and their partners have organized national anti-Islamophobia events, marches, art installations, and interfaith services to re-affirm the dominant public opinion that the world is ready to end to the US occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. The month of events will culminate on October 6th, the anniversary of the Afghanistan invasion. Partners in Create, Not Hate include September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows. Adele Welty, whose son, a brave firefighter named Timothy, was killed on 9/11, said, The response to the tragic loss of life on 9/11 has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Afghans and other innocent civilians, as well as the loss of thousands of our own troops. Compounding the deaths of those precious souls will not bring Timmy or any of the victims back. Violence only breeds violence.Jodie Evans, CODEPINK Co-Founder says, CODEPINK continues our call for an immediate end to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are outraged that those who are complicit in war crimes have yet to be brought to justice. We continue our calls for a real policy of peace and security, which starts with bringing all US troops home and upholding the Constitution.As one of the most prolific voices for peace to emerge in the last decade, CODEPINK has repeatedly called for an end to the bombing of innocent civilians, the torture of prisoners, domestic surveillance and the deterioration of civil liberties. CODEPINK Co-Founder Medea Benjamin said, We know the U.S. response to 9/11 has increased suffering around the world. And these tactics will never make any of us safer.

You should start featuring the horses up for adoption at Horses Healing Hearts Rescue. That would be great to read their stories and help the horses the woman Melissa has been rehabilitating.

Weird Dream
Posted 28 December 2004 - 07:52 PM
I can't really describe it in detail because you know how dreams are. I was floating on a raft in the middle of some ocean when all of sudden this huge tidal wave (it was as high as our skyscrapers in NYC) slowly started coming towards me. I was panicked. All of a sudden I was in a car with my fiancee and he said "let's get out of here and find a hotel". I said "the hell with the hotel, let's just hightail it out of here altogether before that thing hits us!". That was the end of the dream. It was so scary, but I had no clue as to the location or anything. It was a very vague dream, but it disturbed me nonetheless.
When I learned of the Tsunami in Asia, it triggered the memory of my dream and it freaked me out.
Just thought I'd share.
Posted 28 December 2004 - 08:36 PM
1) What feelings does it bring about within me in the dream and how do I experience or react to this? Find the feeling in your body and then ask yourself where does this same feeling appear in my waking life (especially in the day or few days preceding the dream). This then gives you insight about what the dream is speaking about. Then you can ask yourself, "How do I experience or react to this in waking life? And what new information might the dream be trying to give me?"
2) What choices or actions within my life does this dream affect or bring about?
3) Is this my best scenario or would I prefer a different ending that makes me feel freer/happier/more empowered? What is the best ending you can think of?
4) If you have decided upon a new, more positive ending, sit quietly before bed and visualize the dream but with the new ending.
Here are some of the most common themes (with positive outcome examples for each scenario) and suggestions about what the dreamer might look at in waking life:
chase or attack : The pursuer usually represents a fearful aspect of our shadow, and hence an exaggerated version of a denied or inhibited portion of our own personality that would benefit us if integrated and appropriately expressed. (ideal outcome: standing our ground, facing and dialoguing with our pursuer, and eventually, acceptance and embrace)
falling dream : Am I feeling heavy, unsupported, worried about something? How can I feel freer, lighter? Also: do I need to be more grounded? (ideal outcome: feeling safe, landing, floating or flying)
car out of control : Is life too hectic, out of control? How could I slow down, act more peacefully and "enjoy the ride"? (ideal outcome: driving well & within speed limits, walking peacefully)
unprepared, late for or failing an exam : Am I feeling unprepared for some upcoming event? Unconfident about my performance? Am I worrying needlessly or do I actually need more preparation in order to feel confident and do a good job? (ideal outcome: feeling assured about oneself, performing well)
stuck in slow motion, unable to move or make any noise : Where am I feeling stuck in life, like Im getting nowhere or unable to voice my true feelings? What can I do to change it? (ideal outcome: relaxation and acceptance, and eventually, peaceful action & self-expression)
embarrassed to be nude or naked in public, though nobody seems to notice or mind : Where in life am I feeling unconfident, embarrassed, unskilled? This type of dream is usually pointing out, by the fact that the other characters in the dream dont seem to notice, that we are the only one viewing our self this way, and usually mistakenly so. (ideal outcome: comfortable with oneself as is, confident)
personal injury, dismemberment : What part of my lifenot usually the physical bodyhave I been neglecting, mistreating, forgettingi.e. dis-membering as opposed to remembering? (ideal outcome: healing)
trapped, locked in : Where am I feeling trapped in life? How might I open myself up to a new perspective, and explore new courses of action? (ideal outcome: breaking out, exploration)
drowning, threatening waves, tsunami (tidal waves) or flooding : Am I blocking, denying or feeling overwhelmed by my emotions? How might I better acknowledge, accept, and feel these feelingswhich often include vulnerability? (ideal outcome: swimming, surfing, breathing underwater)
helpless, abandoned, or crying baby, monkey, bunny or small animal : Have I been taking care of my "inner child"? Maybe I need to laugh more, play outdoors, express my creativity, be more spontaneous, or enjoy more personal warmth and intimacy? (ideal outcome: caring for baby or animal, playing, simply having fun)

I have had other recurring dreams. One of which I interpret as an obstacle dream. In this dream, I am always climbing...sometimes it is on a rickety ladder (lacking some of the rungs) leading to a trap door to some dark attic apartment of some kind. It is such a struggle to get up that ladder. I have to hoist myself up and twist myself in all kinds of positions. I feel as though I am trying out for the Olympics (it's no wonder I don't feel rested when I wake up in the morning ) In this dream I have to do this numerous times (why I don't know). But, each time I do this I learn a little bit more and it becomes easier.
Another weird dream, is I am always searching for a public restroom. I am in a huge hotel with many floors and elevators and I am always looking for my favorite restroom. Riding the elevators, climbing stairs...walking through corridors.
And finally, the grand finale....The same plane crash dream that I have been having on and off for about 20 years. I am usually always on the ground or in a car. I look up at the sky and I see a plane (could be a jet or a helicopter) just spiraling down. It could hit the water or the ground, but everytime I see it in my dream it is so familiar....like I had really witnessed it in real time. It hits water or ground and explodes into flames and I am panicked that I will be hit by the flying debris, so I run. I am never usually on the plane when it goes down, but a few nights ago I was. The plane was slowly going down but I woke up before we made impact. Scary stuff.
So, do you think I need a shrink? :huh:

Isn't it weird that in those falling, or impact dreams we alway wake up before we hit. I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that it is our soul's defense mechanism. If we really made impact in our dream...it would surely kill us just as if we were experiencing the actual event in real time. Interesting concept...makes sense!

Hey just found this Vampchick I have been on here before and read some of the replies, they are interesting.
Posted 28 December 2004 - 09:51 PM
And I too have heard (from my mother actually) that when you are falling in a dream, your heart is skipping beats, if you land, your heart stops, jolting awake is your heart working overtime to re-establish it's 'pattern'.
But, she's a banker....lol....not a doctor or a dream expert. She was likely repeating what someone else had told her.
Hmmm...did a cursory scan....seems the house is me and the rooms are my personality...so since I keep running into rooms I didn't know were there and finding things in them, I have a lot to learn about myself still.

The bedroom had antique furniture in it that was now ours. I looked around in this one room and there were hundreds of nick nacks lining the windowsills. After winding around and around the house, i started feeling overcome that we had gotten ourselves into too much.
Anyways, I could go on, but i have had these kind of dreams many times.
When I was a teenager, I used to get the tidal wave dreams all the time. I think it was the pressures of puberty, the feeling of being overcome by disaster.
I also used to have recurring dreams that my parents turned into devil worshippers.
Posted 29 December 2004 - 08:41 AM
I don't believe that, I think our dreams are all in our mind, although I do believe that they all have meaning or tell us something.

Produced continuously and exclusively by Ravenswood since 1982, cedar, eucalyptus and raspberry scents as distinctive as fingerprints characterize the Zinfandel from Dickerson Vineyards. Physician-cum-wine-enthusiast Bill Dickerson is the guardian of the vines that bestow these superlative wines. His vineyard on (what else?) Zinfandel Lane on the West side of Napa Valley is sheltered by the Mayacamas Mountains, allowing the long Napa growing season to build up full, round flavors in the grapes. They confer claret-style Zinfandel at its best... sumptuous, deeply aromatic wine with pungent flavors and a long-lasting finish. Crop levels are low, and the vineyard is small, so production is quite limited.
Fueled initially by the inspiration and winemaking skills of Joel Peterson, aided and abetted by his business partner W. Reed Foster, Ravenswood winery has been dedicated to top quality, hand-crafted wine since the first crush in 1976. Every Ravenswood wine carries a unique vintage and vineyard identity in addition to the intense powerful - gothic - character with which the winery...Read More About Ravenswood
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley
Zinfandel(ZIN-fahn-dell) American Grape Zinfandel the American - or Californian - grape. Although it's not from America (Croatia has been named its origin), it does seem quite at home in the vineyards of California. During Prohibition, many Zinfandel vines survived as the high-yielding grape was popular both for home winemaking and communion wine, which is...Read More About Zinfandel

Anthony Weiner's Crotch-Shots Make SVU Debut (Video)
Well no, not actually the infamous pictures. That would probably take the "ripped from the headline" boast (when did that become the show's marketing campaign, by the way?) of Law & Order: SVU's latest episode straight into lawsuit territory. But it's okay: The politician who wants to be the next mayor of New York in "October Surprise" isn't actually Anthony Weiner, see, because in the episode he is caught sexting pictures of his junk to a 15-year-old.

How do you find a needle in a haystack when you don't even know what the needle looks like? That's the problem today's enterprises face in trying to spot advanced targeted cyber attacks. These attacks don't match known attack signatures, because hackers have custom created them to infiltrate your network and steal your data. Big Data Security Analytics uses Big Data techniques to sift through mountains of data to identify the suspicious things you should focus on. In this program, Gartner Distinguished Analyst, Neil MacDonald, and HP Director of Product Marketing, Eric Schou, reveal how Big Data Security Analytics help spot targeted cyber attacks before damage is done. You'll also find out how HP ArcSight is using Big Data Security Analytics to protect its customers.
Data center technology is evolving at an unprecedented pace. You can't say the same for infrastructure management tools. They're stuck in the past, and that's a problem. You can't compete at today's speed and scale with yesterday's management approaches. You're caught in an IT gap - between rising business demands and the limitations of aging tools. Read this eBook to learn about the three requirements that create the foundation for a management environment that is poised to meet the challenges of a new era in IT.

Thanks for the info, guys. I don't know much into miniature gaming, but I know it looks pretty interesting. I've only done a few general searches for where to buy minatures, and they seem kind of expensive. Do either of you have any suggestions about where I can buy some inexpensively online if I just want to dip my toes in it a little? Also, which size is best? I see everything from 9mm to 15mm to a lot bigger. My first guess would be that smaller is best for game play, but you guys probably have better insight on that than I do. |

I was watching the film, 'Disneyland USA' (made I think in 1957). It includes a parade on Main Street - an old-fashioned 'circus' parade, with elephants etc. There were no Disney cartoon characters in sight; and it was quite different from the parades of today.
It made me wonder: were there any parades in those days featuring Disney characters - or is that something that only started later?
(For that matter, were there always characters like Mickey around in costume on Main Street, to shake hands and pose for photos - or did that only start later, too?)
All the parades at WDW have been character driven, since day one. I have some shots of a parade in 1976 and, though the characters look quite different than they do today, the parade undoubedtly was centered around them.
Disneyland, being open in the 50s, catered to a very different sort of crowd so it wouldn't surprise me if they had un-character themed parades. Think about the park itself, very little on opening day was character themed as well.
Sometimes all you need is a reminder that out there lies a better place... a better world... a Walt Disney World.Visited In: 1983, 1988, 1989 x2, 1991, 1992, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 (passholder), 2007 (x2 x3), 2008, 2009 (x2), 2010, 2011 (x2)
Detail is there to make you believe in the reality of the story youre immersed in. - Joe Rohde
Are you referring to the "Disneyland U.S.A." Treasures DVD?
I don't remember the parade specifically, but I do remember seeing the characters, and yes, they looked very different then. But I do remember Minnie and Minnie and the dwarves being shown.

10 household plants that are dangerous for dogs and cats
Plants help cozy up a living space, but pet owners should be extra careful when choosing greenery. More than 700 plants contain toxic substances that may harm dogs or cats if ingested. Signs of poisoning can be mild to severe and in some cases, pets can even die. Most houseplants have multiple names, so it's important to confirm that the plants you own or plan to purchase are not toxic to your pet.
Video: How to teach your pet to come when called
Asparagus fern
The asparagus fern (also called emerald feather, emerald fern, sprengeri fern, plumosa fern or lace fern) is toxic to dogs and cats. The toxic agent in the plant is sapogenin — a steroid found in a variety of plants. If a dog or cat ingests the berries of this plant, vomiting, diarrhea and/or abdominal pain can occur. Allergic dermatitis (skin inflammation) can occur if an animal is repeatedly exposed.

Corn plant
Corn plant (also known as cornstalk plant, dracaena, dragon tree or ribbon plant) is toxic to dogs and cats. Saponin is the offensive chemical compound in this plant. If the plant is ingested, vomiting (with or without blood), appetite loss, depression and/or increased salivation can occur. Affected cats may also have dilated pupils.
Video: Hidden pet dangers
Dieffenbachia (commonly known as dumb cane, tropic snow or exotica) is toxic to dogs and cats. Dieffenbachia contains a chemical that is a poisonous deterrent to animals. If the plant is ingested, oral irritation can occur, especially on the tongue and lips. This irritation can lead to increased salivation, difficulty swallowing and vomiting.
Elephant ear
Elephant ear (also known as caladium, taro, pai, ape, cape, via, via sori or malanga) contains a chemical similar to that in dieffenbachia, so an animal's toxic reaction to elephant ear is similar: oral irritation, increased salivation, difficulty swallowing and vomiting.
Many plants of the lily family are toxic to cats, and some are toxic to dogs. Cats are the only animals in which the Easter and stargazer lilies are known to be toxic. Generally, a cat's first reaction to this plant includes vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite, but kidney failure and even death can quickly follow if a cat is untreated. The peace lily (also known as Mauna Loa) is toxic to both dogs and cats. Ingestion of the peace lily or calla lily can cause irritation of the tongue and lips, increased salivation, difficulty swallowing and vomiting.
Cyclamen (also known as sowbread) is a pretty, flowering plant that is toxic to dogs and cats. If ingested, this plant can cause increased salivation, vomiting and diarrhea. If an animal ingests a large amount of the plant's tubers — which are found at the root, generally below the soil — heart rhythm abnormalities, seizures and even death can occur.
Heartleaf philodendron
Heartleaf philodendron (also known as horsehead philodendron, cordatum, fiddle leaf, panda plant, split-leaf philodendron, fruit salad plant, red emerald, red princess or saddle leaf) is a common, easy-to-grow houseplant that is toxic to dogs and cats. This philodendron contains a chemical that can irritate the mouth, tongue and lips of animals. An affected pet may also experience increased salivation, vomiting and difficulty swallowing.
Jade plant
Jade plant (also known as baby jade, dwarf rubber plant, jade tree, Chinese rubber plant, Japanese rubber plant or friendship tree) is toxic to both cats and dogs. The toxic property in this plant is unknown, but ingestion can cause vomiting, depression, ataxia (incoordination) and bradycardia (slow heart rate; this is rare).
Aloe plant
Aloe plant (also known as medicine plant or Barbados aloe) is a common succulent that is toxic to dogs and cats. Aloin is the toxic agent in this plant. The bitter yellow substance is found in most aloe species and may cause vomiting and/or reddish urine.

Time: 8:00pm
Location: Van Meter Auditorium
The Corporate Surrealists of America, under the direction of honors student Joel Sena (Fickel), present JUMAH COLA TIME TO DRINK, an original play by the director, on November 5 and 7 in Van Meter Auditorium at 8 PM. The piece is a shocking poetic drama that draws from the writings of Rudyard Kipling and cuts unflinchingly to the magmatic core of a nation's expanding military, moral, and economic boot print in the world.
Jumah, an angry and abused Muslim-American soldier fighting in a fictional occupation of India, looks to a mysterious activist in an American military prison for solace and guidance. The woman, fighting peacefully for the return of her country's stolen water resources from the hands of cola barons, prophesies every detail of Jumah's imminent death. The Prometheus story reverses. Jumah's final act on earth, a gift of water and love to the fellow soldier who will end up his murderer, proves to be the secret, quiet gesture of beauty, heroism, and sacrifice that is always at hand in a world brutal and ablaze. $4. Contains strong language and adult subject matter.

The good: Cased in aluminum, the Asus Zenbook UX51Vz-DH71 is an impressive-looking laptop with an excellent 15-inch screen, a strong combo of components, and prime performance.
The bad: A premium price to match its high-end design and components; no touch screen to take full advantage of the Windows 8 interface.
The bottom line: The Asus Zenbook UX51Vz-DH71 is a nice fit for anyone looking for premium looks and performance in a Windows 8 laptop who is willing to pay for it.

Run with the big dogs while looking like a champ
by Roland-Arnold on April 18, 2013
Pros: Display is top notch, text is very crisp; very sharp
Sound is amazing
Fast bootup times
Great 3x USB 3.0 Ports
Keyboard is great to typeCons: Fan noise is very annoying
Has a mini-VGA instead of a mini-DisplayPort connectorSummary: I started researching replacements for my 15" unibody MacBook Pro in October '12. I wanted a similar form factor that preserved some of the things I'd grown attached to ...
Summary: I started researching replacements for my 15" unibody MacBook Pro in October '12. I wanted a similar form factor that preserved some of the things I'd grown attached to from Apple: great screen, responsive touchpad, and chiclet keys with great tactile response.
I also wanted to massively upgrade. My MBP was top dog of its line when it was new, and the MBPr looks good, but only comes with a limited amount of video RAM. At minimum, I wanted: quad-core i7, 8GB RAM, SSD primary drive, nVidia dedicated graphics w/ 2GB video RAM. 1080p screen resolution was a must. Fit, finish, and materials had to be premium.
I've never been too concerned with battery life, so in that regard I just wanted to maintain what I'd become accustomed to with the MBP. I'm notoriously difficult to shop for, and I'm exceptionally picky. After a month of searching high and low I began worrying that what I wanted simply didn't exist, and began worrying that I'd need to start making concessions.
My wife has a Republic of Gamers ASUS laptop that looks like Batman's Tumbler vehicle. I can't stand the looks of it, but the performance was hard to ignore. Just before my purchase, I happened upon the u500 series from ASUS. On paper, I was sold. After a couple of weeks of research, some hands-on experience with the other ASUS Zenbooks, and lots of consideration, I made the purchase.
I. First Impressions
I'm a big fan of presentation, and ASUS didn't disappoint. The unboxing experience is satisfying, and as a gadget lover this is one of the best parts of getting a new "toy." Attractive packaging and creative boxing.
Bootup times are crisp and smart: 5-7 seconds when plugged in, with a couple of seconds extra on battery power. Installing software, browsing, and word processing happen nearly instantaneously; extremely fast. I play a few games: Counter-Strike GO, Minecraft, and World of Warcraft. All of them look excellent at maximum settings, and the nVidia card offers great performance in such a small package. One MINOR gripe: with maxed settings, there's just a LITTLE screen-tearing.
It's almost unnoticeable, and I suspect it's more an issue with the screen than the rest of the machine. I'm also a web and software developer, and the screen offers a very pleasurable reading and writing experience. Text is very crisp; very sharp. All in all, I have zero regrets about my purchase. It does exactly what I want, and does so in a super sleek and sexy package. It's a powerhouse, and turns heads as soon as you open it.
II. Windows 8
I dislike Windows 8. There's no Start button, so without installing an add-on (more on this in a minute), it's necessary to go back and forth with the tiled interface. If the ASUS had a touchscreen, this might be a different take. If you're buying a version of this model in the UK or Australia, I hear this laptop not only has a touchscreen, but also comes with an external USB drive. Neither of these is the case for US models, so Windows 8 is pretty pointless.
Feel free to point out all of the nifty new features under the hood that makes Windows 8 better than its predecessor, but if the first layer of user experience is more a hindrance than a help, it doesn't really matter what's going on behind the scenes. I installed the small add-on Start8 almost immediately after figuring out that I hated the default Windows 8 interface. It's a $4.99 purchase from the Stardock company, and it's phenomenal. Is Windows 8 usable without the Start button and a touchscreen? Sure, but it's painfully obvious that Microsoft did not intend it.
Before installing a spare copy of Windows 7, if you have one, do yourself a favor and give Start8 a try. There's a 30-day demo, but you'll only need an hour to love it.
III. Bloatware
There's not a lot, but it's present. The usual crappy Norton trial is included, as is Office Starter edition. Windows 8 comes with an option to reinstall a completely barebones installation; don't bother. The bloatware will still be there after startup. Apparently, "barebones" installation still includes whatever subsidized garbage the manufacturer wishes to include. Thankfully, it only takes about five minutes to uninstall the garbage.

Spells Success
The Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) can be a near-perfect link between a student's college education and their military and civilian careers. The program allows college students to complete Basic Training and then earn an officer's rank, while receiving generous scholarship funds. If someone already in the National Guard combines these funds with Guard tuition payments, the sum could cover most college costs, including books and a monthly stipend.
The 411 on ROTC
The ROTC is an educational program combining college electives in military science and leadership with practical common tasks, and physical and management training. ROTC courses are designed to train officers for the Army. "We prepare men and women for success in college and for development in any career," First Lieutenant Ryan Schulz notes. "To help you succeed, we'll work with you to ensure you achieve your goals," he continues. "ROTC also instills strong moral values, and a warrior and fitness ethos, and [offers] many other benefits in order to ensure lifelong success. A significant reason for joining ROTC is a guaranteed job in the Army after college. Upon graduating, you will serve as an officer in the Army, performing a variety of jobs and gaining hands-on managerial experience that you can get nowhere else."
How ROTC Can Help You
Beyond military and educational benefits, you also get a leg up on life. At a time when many struggle to find work, ROTC graduates will have a college degree, marketable skills, leadership training and ongoing support from mentors in the Guard.
"The main goal of ROTC is to set you up for success," says Schulz. "The program makes sure that you graduate. So besides having a career in the military, you also have that degree as a backup."

Koshechkin Beats Barulin
Submitted by pete on December 4, 2005 - 12:40Goaltender Vasily Koshechkin defeated highly touted goaltending prospect Konstantin Barulin and Spartak 3-2 today in overtime. Koshechkin improved his season record to 12-4-1 with the win. Barulin, a third round pick of the St. Louis Blues, is often mentioned as the best young goaltender in Russia. Not so today, however, as he ran into the quiet juggernaut that Koshechkin has been this season.
For Yaroslavl, Anton But scored the game winning goal today as Loko defeated Ufa 4-3. But leads all Lightning Russian prospects with 10 goals and 24 points in 31 games.

Submitted by pete on December 4, 2005 - 12:32C/LW Johan Hagglund scored the game winning goal today for Oskarshamn as they defeated Bjorkloven 3-1 in Allsevenskan action. For the past month, despite modest offensive production in the role, Hagglund has been moved up from second line left wing to first line center for the club. His +9 rating this season is tied for the 9th best rating in the league. Oskarshamn currently sits at 8th in the league with a 7-5-5 record.

Game Night 12/3: Chiefs at Gulls
Submitted by pete on December 4, 2005 - 01:12Uh oh.
Jonathan Boutin was completely and unmercifully shelled allowing 7 goals on 30 shots faced largely a product of a truly ugly 5 goal Gulls second period. This, unfortunately, has been the story of Boutin's career to this point. He's capable of playing incredible hockey one game, like his 48 of 49 shot performance in his last start against Bakersfield, and then proceeding directly into the toilet the next. This is the first time this kind of fate has befallen him this season, but in the past such a defeat has greatly hurt Boutin's confidence and mental approach going forward in a season. Boutin possesses the raw natural ability of a 1st or 2nd round pick and was compared to JS Giguere when he started his junior career in Halifax. The Lightning should think about dispatching roving goaltending instructor Cory Schwab to Johnstown immediately when the Chiefs return from this west coast road trip to try and make sure Boutin doesn't get down on himself, stays positive and moves on past tonight's game. Having a very supportive and positive coach like Anzalone will also, no doubt, aid in that effort. Either way, the Lightning have a potentially outstanding young player here who, with some extra help and attention, has upside as good if not better than any goaltending prospect in this organization.
Gerard Dicaire had a power play goal with Justin Kelly adding an assist in garbage time as well.

Game Night 12/3: Falcons at Monarchs
Submitted by pete on December 3, 2005 - 23:19Congratulations to goaltender Gerald Coleman on his first professional shutout.
The game winning goal was netted by Jim Campbell, who has returned from an absence due to a knee sprain. The assist went to Ryan Craig. Campbell was given the first star of the game while Coleman, inexplicably, was relegated to the third stopping 26 of 26 shots faced.

You CAN however order her a note. Have her "use"it for a couple days then swap her number back to her old phone. Which means you can transfer your line to the note. I just do these number swaps online through the website. Customer service is usually reluctant to do this for some reason. |
I'm one of the lucky ones that live where Sprint service is pretty good. Sitting in on my couch I can pull a 4g signal with Sprint where T-Mobile had issues with just standard voice connections. AT&T was slightly better, but I dropped calls all the time. Not to mention, I tried to upgrade to the Blackberry Curve when it came out and they refused to come off the $300 price for a 10 year customer who was rarely under contract and had a family plan. AT&T offered me the phone for $99 but after 2 years of dropped calls I moved to Sprint and have been pretty happy. |
This is frustrating... does anyone know for sure if the upgrade will work or not to keep same account settings? It suggests that i'll be getting a brand new monthly plan at $55 /mo more expensive (since I'm on a family plan). Plus an activation fee for an upgrade? Is that normal for Sprint?
I tried amazon wireless but my phone signal is SOoL where I live right now. No can make phone calls!!! :/ I also don't think Best Buy price matches anymore..? if it did i'd way prefer to go into their store despite all the bad PR they've had in the last few months and policy changes in general. Anyway mostly just curious what will happen if i try to check out... if i'll be screwed over by this or not? I know there is a return policy but... on this it kinda frightens me since it is a high repeating cost purchase.... |
So finally got through with Amazon Wireless... they clarified that it does NOT create a new account if you are upgrading. It just appears that way... when the info is sent to Sprint that is when it is shown as an upgrade... Either way worst case you have 14 days to return and get your upgrade reversed if it doesn't work right.
