Why would an inn located in the deepest, remote wilds of Colombia have the very American-Southwest name of Gallows Hill? Perhaps that concern led GALLOWS HILL to be retitled THE DAMNED, or maybe that generic new moniker was chosen to reflect the familiarity of the movie itself, a smattering of creatively creepy moments notwithstanding.Read more »

Susan Solomon | February 4, 2003 | Comments
Hint: She's about 48 years old and currently spends nearly $100 online every month.
It happened. The scales have been tipped. According to The Wall Street Journal, the new online shopper is 48 years old and predominantly female (57 percent). Best of all, she's ready to shop, spending about $276 online in a three month period.
What does this mean to purveyors of online content? I'd say it signals a need for more gender awareness. If you're not targeting your site to women, you might want to consider swinging that way. But don't... oh please, I beg of you... fall into gender stereotypes.
First, consider the statistics. According to Forrester Research (as reported in The Journal), average household income of the new Web shopper is $52,300. Many (but not all) of these new shoppers (42 percent) have children under 18, and 39 percent have a college degree.
Interestingly, "new shoppers" interviewed for the article cite lack of time as their number one incentive for Web surfing. Many also report e-commerce wariness as their reason for not shopping online sooner.
How does one target a cautious, thoughtful woman shopper? First, eschew stereotypes:
Go out and target the latest Web converts. But if I ever chance upon content remotely similar to that "ring around the collar" shtick, you're going to hear from me!

Chrysler is recalling more than 142,000 pickup trucks and SUVs worldwide because of software glitches that could affect instrument cluster lighting and braking systems. Around 132,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs and 10,800 Ram pickup trucks from the 2014 model year are affected. Chrysler said the Jeep's warning lights may randomly illuminate and its instrument cluster may black out. Since the same electronic module controls anti-lock braking and electronic stability control, those systems may also be affected. The company said it hasn't had any reports of accidents or injuries due to the problem. In the pickup trucks, Chrysler quality-control personnel noticed that the backlighting on the instrument panel may work only intermittently. Chrysler will notify owners next month. Dealers will reprogram the vehicles' software for free.

Auctions where incomes are private information and preferences (non quasi-linear) are common knowledge
AbstractWe consider a two good world where an individual i with income mi has utility function u(x,y), where x belongs to [0,infinity) and y belongs {0,1}. We first derive the valuation (maximum price that he is willing to pay for the object) for good y as a function of his income. Then we consider the following problem. Suppose good x is available in a store at a fixed price 1. Good y can be obtained in an auction. In such a situation we show that bidding ones own valuation is an equilibrium in a second-price auction. With risk neutral bidders and high enough incomes we derive the symmetric equilibrium in first-price and all-pay auctions and show that revenue equivalence fails to hold. With risk neutrality we also show that under mild restrictions, the revenue maximising reserve price is zero for all the three auctions and the all-pay auction with zero reserve price fetches the highest expected revenue. With low enough incomes, we show that under some restrictions, bidding ones own valuation is a symmetric equilibrium even for first-price and all-pay auctions. Here also, the expected revenue is the highest with all-pay auctions.

MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United striker Robin van Persie will miss up to six weeks with a left knee injury, ruling the Netherlands striker out of both legs of a Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich and potentially six Premier League games.
It is a major blow to United's hopes of winning the Champions League, which realistically is the club's only route back into Europe's top competition next season.
Following a second scan on the injury on Friday, United said Van Persie has a "sprained knee which will keep him out for around 4-6 weeks."
He appears to be in no danger of missing the World Cup finals in Brazil beginning in mid-June — the worst-case scenario according to United's diagnosis is that Van Persie is out until the start of May, leaving him available for the last two or three league games in United's season.
Van Persie, who has scored 23 goals in 29 games for club and country this season, was carried off on a stretcher after hurting his knee in a challenge from behind toward the end of Wednesday's 3-0 victory over Olympiakos, in which he scored a hat trick to send his team into the last eight.
United is seventh in the Premier League after its humiliating 3-0 loss to Liverpool last weekend, 12 points adrift of fourth-place Manchester City having played two more games.
A finish in the top six would qualify United for next season's Europa League, and sixth-place Everton is three points ahead with a game in hand.
It will be a second significant spell on the sidelines for Van Persie this season — he played just two games across 2 1/2 months over the turn of the year because of groin then thigh problems.
The news punctures some of the optimism that has spread through Old Trafford after the victory over Olympiakos, which came just as the pressure was beginning to build on manager David Moyes.
Moyes has Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez as alternatives up front to partner Wayne Rooney. Otherwise, Moyes could decide to play Rooney as his main striker and move Juan Mata, signed in January for a record fee of 37.1 million pounds ($61.2 million), into his favoured No. 10 role just in behind.
Mata has played out wide in recent games, to little effect.

Tommy Widdrington and his squad have an early opportunity to put the late defeat at Weston behind them as they face Tonbridge Angels.
Eastbourne Borough .v. Tonbridge Angels
Blue Square Bet South
Priory Lane
Tuesday 02/10/12
Kick-off 7.45pm
Boro will no doubt be looking to recover some lost ground in the league following another late show on the road seeing the side drop vital points. The side performed well in Weston, twice taking he lead, but the ability to close a game down in the late stages will no doubt be on the collective minds of the squad and management. Ben Adams and triallist Rhys Paul were both unused subs in Somerset so the squad is starting to gain strength in depth.
For the second game running Boro face a side just a point behind them in the table, the Angels in 18th, The Sports in 16th. Tonbridge appear to be a stubborn side, draws the feature of their season so far, standout result being a 4-2 defeat of Boreham Wood, so a home win for Boro would be a welcome and creditable result if achieved.

My Garden
If I could put my woods in song
And tell what's there enjoyed,
All men would to my gardens throng,
And leave the cities void.
In my plot no tulips blow,--
Snow-loving pines and oaks instead;
And rank the savage maples grow
From Spring's faint flush to Autumn red.
My garden is a forest ledge
Which older forests bound;
The banks slope down to the blue lake-edge,
Then plunge to depths profound.
Here once the Deluge ploughed,
Laid the terraces, one by one;
Ebbing later whence it flowed,
They bleach and dry in the sun.
The sowers made haste to depart,--
The wind and the birds which sowed it;
Not for fame, nor by rules of art,
Planted these, and tempests flowed it.
Waters that wash my garden-side
Play not in Nature's lawful web,
They heed not moon or solar tide,--
Five years elapse from flood to ebb.
Hither hasted, in old time, Jove,
And every god,--none did refuse;
And be sure at last came Love,
And after Love, the Muse.
Keen ears can catch a syllable,
As if one spake to another,
In the hemlocks tall, untamable,
And what the whispering grasses smother.
Æolian harps in the pine
Ring with the song of the Fates;
Infant Bacchus in the vine,--
Far distant yet his chorus waits.
Canst thou copy in verse one chime
Of the wood-bell's peal and cry,
Write in a book the morning's prime,
Or match with words that tender sky?
Wonderful verse of the gods,
Of one import, of varied tone;
They chant the bliss of their abodes
To man imprisoned in his own.
Ever the words of the gods resound;
But the porches of man's ear
Seldom in this low life's round
Are unsealed, that he may hear.
Wandering voices in the air
And murmurs in the wold
Speak what I cannot declare,
Yet cannot all withhold.
When the shadow fell on the lake,
The whirlwind in ripples wrote
Air-bells of fortune that shine and break,
And omens above thought.
But the meanings cleave to the lake,
Cannot be carried in book or urn;
Go thy ways now, come later back,
On waves and hedges still they burn.
These the fates of men forecast,
Of better men than live to-day;
If who can read them comes at last
He will spell in the sculpture,'Stay.'

Hi Larry - thanks for the welcome. Glad to be on board with Dieselpunks.org!
Thank you Larry. I like your photo.

In some ways, it was as if he had been launch from a world he knew into an alternative universe where everything had changed; none of it for the better.
Yesterday, this gentleman stumbled across a series of neo-pulps on Amazon.com, which lead him to the world of Dieselpunks, and a place where, at least in his imagination, told him he had final found his way home.
I only hope that, some day, the rest of me will be return to that world.

The problem is that white people see racism as conscious hate, when racism is bigger than that. Racism is a complex system of social and political levers and pulleys set up generations ago to continue working on the behalf of whites at other people's expense, whether whites know/like it or not. Racism is an insidious cultural disease. It is so insidious that it doesn't care if you are a white person who likes black people; it's still going to find a way to infect how you deal with people who don't look like you. Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another. And so on. So while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we're immediately born into. It's like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe. It's not a cold that you can get over. There is no anti-racist certification class. It's a set of socioeconomic traps and cultural values that are fired up every time we interact with the world. It is a thing you have to keep scooping out of the boat of your life to keep from drowning in it. I know it's hard work, but it's the price you pay for owning everything.
Scott Wood (X)
he motherfucking dropped the truth.
(via luvyourselfsomeesteem)
Wish I knew the source of this quote, but: "Racism isn't people of color's problem, it's white people's problem; sexism isn't women's problem, it's men's problem; and homophobia isn't an LGBTQ problem, it's a hetero problem."
If there's a more effective way to think about white hetero privilege on a daily basis than these three things, I don't know it.
Society has put up so many boundaries, so many limitations on what's right and wrong that it's almost impossible to get a pure thought out. It's like a little kid, a little boy, looking at colors, and no one told him what colors are good, before somebody tells you you shouldn't like pink because that's for girls, or you'd instantly become a gay two-year-old. Why would anyone pick blue over pink? Pink is obviously a better color. Everyone's born confident, and everything's taken away from you.KANYE WEST (via jennpelly)

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
One year after rail disaster, Lac-Megantic businesses struggle to rebuild
MONTREAL - Claude Charron's most-recent visit to his Lac-Megantic pharmacy called for head lamps, hard hats and masks to block the pervasive stench of petroleum.
A year has passed since his Quebec town was ground zero for a railway disaster, yet the local druggist was only allowed inside his contaminated, shuttered pharmacy last week once authorities had tested the quality of the sometimes-hazardous air.
Such is life for the Lac-Megantic business owner — and he isn't alone.
This weekend the community will pay homage to the 47 victims of the July 6 catastrophe, set off when a tanker train loaded with volatile crude oil crashed and exploded in the heart of town.
But 12 months after a derailment that obliterated part of downtown Lac-Megantic, many local businesspeople are still waiting for financial aid and a chance to kickstart their companies again.
"It's a mess. I had been operating that store for 43 years and, to tell you very, very frankly, I was deeply depressed when I got out of there," Charron said of his pharmacy on the town's main drag, which now sits behind metal fences.
"Almost everything I've owned in all my life is in there."
Following the disaster, Charron moved his operation to a much-smaller location where he's continued to offer prescriptions. However, he says he no longer has enough space to provide a wide selection of products like cosmetics to further boost revenue.
Meanwhile, his downtown Lac-Megantic building that housed his now-off-limits store remains locked up. The doctors, notary and massage therapist who rented a dozen office spaces from him are gone and so is that additional income.
Charron said he's been unable to make a full insurance claim because his building, only metres outside the blast site, suffered little physical damage.
He expects his property to be a write-off even after decontamination work has been completed, though he has yet to receive any of the millions promised by the provincial government to buy downtown buildings.
More than two dozen businesses penned in downtown — including the grocery store, a shoe shop and a fast-food joint — face the same obstacles, Charron said.
The office of the local provincial legislature member said the change in government a few months ago caused delays in delivering compensation, as the incoming Liberal party re-evaluates promises made by its Parti Quebecois predecessors.
In the meantime, Ghislain Bolduc's office has felt the pressure from the frustrated business community, his press attache said.
"I hear them every day," Veronique Lachance said of business owners' concerns.
"I understand that they might find this long, but at the same time it's hard to find this much money in a context where we don't have money, in the context where the debt and Quebec's debt is still remarkable."
Charron said he believes it's also time for the federal government to step in and compensate business owners. He blames federal regulators for the crash because they allowed the railway to cut corners on safety, such as operating the train with only a single engineer.
"I wouldn't sleep well if I was a part of the federal government, knowing that they put so many lives in danger," Charron said.
"We need help and the government has to put in the money because they have to feel responsible for it, especially the federal government."
Ottawa has pledged $35 million to help rebuild local infrastructure and to assist the town's economy. The federal government has also committed up to $95 million to split decontamination costs with the province.
Looking to the future, Lac-Megantic Mayor Colette Roy Laroche said she's called on Ottawa to help the town deal with another major challenge: preventing oil-filled trains from ever rolling through the traumatized community again.
Laroche said in a recent interview that she has personally asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Transport Minister Lisa Raitt to help pay for the railroad to be re-routed around the community, a position echoed by many people in the town of 6,000.
Until a bypass is built, she wants Ottawa to ensure oil-by-rail traffic is steered away from Lac-Megantic on alternative routes.
"We indicated to the government our very big concerns about the transport of dangerous materials on our territory," she said in an interview last month at Lac-Megantic's sports complex.
"Mr. Harper is well aware of this. On several occasions, I met with the minister, Ms. Raitt, and this demand was repeated. . . .
"To (Harper) himself, we expressed the wish to have a bypass route and to avoid the transport of oil, but what will the result be?"
Asked for comment about Roy Laroche's concerns, Raitt's office replied that rail service along the tracks is part of a deal between the railway's new operator and the municipality.
"It would not be appropriate for Transport Canada to speculate on the actions of the new owner," said a brief email sent by Jana Regimbal, Raitt's press secretary.
The American company that bought the assets of the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway, which declared bankruptcy after the derailment, recently struck an agreement with the town by promising not to transport dangerous goods through Lac-Megantic until at least Jan. 1, 2016.
That firm, Fortress Investment Group, has agreed to share the costs of a feasibility study to examine the bypass proposal with Quebec, Ottawa and Lac-Megantic. In the meantime, the renamed Central Maine and Quebec Railway says it will invest $10 million to repair its Canadian stretch of tracks.
The estimated cost of moving the railroad outside Lac-Megantic's downtown has ranged from $50 million to $175 million, a hefty bill the province and Ottawa would most likely have to help pay.
Even with the big price tag, the people of Lac-Megantic — a town built around the railroad — are making plans for life without the rails.
The railway doesn't appear in the blueprints for downtown Lac-Megantic's reconstruction, a proposal drawn from ideas raised at public workshops.
"This was a clear message that has been mentioned by the majority of people," said urban planner Marc Perreault, who worked on the plans unveiled last month.
Work on the downtown area's rebirth, expected to include space for commercial, park, hotel and affordable-housing space, will begin once the massive decontamination efforts have ended. The cleanup is expected to wrap up in December.
Charron has plans to relocate his franchise to a new building under construction in the town's north end by January. But that wouldn't solve his dilemma with his former downtown location, which he's visited a half-dozen times since the disaster.
He went to the site last week with a couple of his employees to salvage shelves for the new store.
For now, Charron will have to continue asking for permission two days in advance of any visits to his old pharmacy, so authorities can ensure the air quality is safe enough for him to enter.
"Twice we were refused access to it because there was contamination in the store," said the veteran druggist, who added that more help is needed to combat what he describes as low morale and fear in the town.
"I'm a pharmacist and I see so many customers who are afraid to sleep, who are afraid to stay along the tracks now because of what happened last year. We need some change."

A little about me...
I like to laugh, am social, like to do lots of different thing. I have a wicked funny sense of humor. Definitely not into Nascar, hunting or camping. Love to travel, domestically or abroad. Family is important. I love football, college that is. If you send me a "flirt" that says "feel free to contact me" I will delete your profile immediately. I find it offensive, if you want to talk send me a message! Also, I am not interested in men who are not emotionally available, guys who are legally separated, this means you.
About the one I'm looking for...
Like self confident men who are looking for a partner. Sense of humor a must. Ignorance and prejudice turn me completely off.
I'd just like to add...
I like travel, live concerts, movies, am an avid reader. I'm a bit of a gym rat as I like to be trim. I enjoy my family alhought they do not live near. I have season tickets to football season at my alma mater. I'm self-employed which makes my time flexible. So tell me about you!

Apple iPhone 5c review: A colourful iPhone 5 with better battery life
If you're an existing iPhone user and weren't tempted by the iPhone 5, then the colourful 5c is worth considering as an upgrade. However, iPhone 5 owners should think carefully: there's very little difference between the core specifications of the two handsets, and iOS 7 is just a download away.
Google Nexus 7 (2013) review: Improved spec, great screen, top value
The 2013 Nexus 7 is a sleeker, lighter and better-specified device than last year's model. There's still no Micro-SD card support, but good all-round performance and battery life, plus a competitive price, add up to superb value for money.
Lenovo ThinkPad Helix review: high-quality tablet/ultrabook
This excellent Windows 8 tablet/ultrabook hybrid has a well-designed keyboard docking mechanism, typically solid build quality and a specification well suited to mainstream business use. It has a hefty price tag, though, and the lack of SD-based storage expansion is perplexing.
Fujitsu Lifebook E743 review: Nice design, but no Haswell yet
Fujitsu's new Lifebook E-Line offers an attractive design and solid build quality, with plenty of configuration options and (common) accessories. The optional modular Bay Projector is interesting, but you'll need to weigh its utility against the £280 price tag.
Nokia Lumia 925 review
The Lumia 925 is a slimmer and lighter Windows Phone 8 handset than its 920 predecessor, with a neater and more ergonomic design. It lacks integrated wireless charging but supports LTE and NFC, and has an excellent 4.5in. AMOLED screen.
Nutanix versus Tintri: Two approaches to software-defined storage
As virtualisation technology spreads through the datacentre, the race is on to develop ways of sharing out data to virtual servers and desktops in large numbers.

HP ElitePad 900 review
Although it's well built and delivers decent battery life, the ElitePad 900's combination of a basic Atom-based tablet and a range of optional extras is an expensive way to build a work-ready system.
InFocus BigTouch review
The largest and heaviest all-in-one PC we've ever seen, the BigTouch may find a niche in some presentation, classroom or signage situations. However, the price is almost as eye-watering as the system when you try to lift it.
Apple 13-inch MacBook Air review
The 2013 13-inch MacBook Air has enough internal improvements to make it one of the most desirable ultraportable notebooks on the market. It may lack an ultra-high-resolution display and touchscreen functionality, but there's little else to fault it.
Eurocom Racer 3.0 review
Eurocom's 15.6in. high-performance notebook gets the 4th-Generation Intel Core (Haswell) upgrade, and delivers the goods in terms of specification and speed. The design is uninspiring, though, and it's also bulky and heavy.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 review
The 8-inch Galaxy Note 8 is reasonably comfortable to hold one-handed in portrait mode to make jottings with its pressure-sensitive pen, and is a delight to use. Still, you'll need to really want the added features that pen input brings to the device, because it's relatively expensive.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch review
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is attractive and solidly built, with an excellent touchscreen and a great keyboard. However, we'd like to see more ports and a removable battery at the very least. As it stands, this ultrabook is too expensive for widespread deployment.
HP EliteBook Folio 9470m review
The EliteBook Folio 9470m is a well-made ultrabook with a particularly good keyboard and touchpad. We like the removable battery and optional battery slice, but would prefer a higher screen resolution across the range. Windows 8 fans will also note the absence of a touchscreen option.
Samsung Galaxy S4 review
With the Galaxy S4, Samsung has squeezed a superb 5-inch screen and a host of high-end features into a slightly slimmer, thinner and lighter chassis than its S III predecessor. It's an excellent handset, but some will find the S4 overladen with unnecessary features and too expensive.
HTC One review
HTC has pulled out all the stops with the One, which looks great, performs well and includes some clever features. The lack of storage expansion and the persistence of BlinkFeed are irritations, but overall the HTC One stands up well against rival flagship handsets.
