The Kidd Vs. THE AMERICAN SCREAM
THE AMERICAN SCREAM may be presented as an ideal film to see during this Halloween season, because it documents the journey of three different house haunters in Fairhaven, MA, as they barrel towards their favorite holiday of the year in the hopes of putting on the best production they can for themselves and for their surrounding community. However, this is a film that reaches far beyond that and really deserves to be watched all year round as it reminds you what it feels like to dream, to have a passion and a love for something that that's all you can think about, that that's all you want to do. These are stories of having an excitement for one particular thing so great that it can't be contained and, in fact, becomes infectious to others who you've now inspired with your hard work and dedication.
There are parts of THE AMERICAN SCREAM that are like looking into a mirror for me. Believe me... there are probably tons of things that I could do besides writing for Ain't It Cool News that would net me a lot more money and probably be much more beneficial for my family. But would I love it nearly as much? Would it give me the avenue to be able to do something I enjoy doing and think I'm good at (some of the Talkbackers would vehemently disagree with that assessment, I'm sure)? But I've enjoyed being involved here because of my passion and love for movies, which is shared with our dedicated base of readership. It's exciting to be able to bring a story to you, a bit of an obsession of sorts, because it might inform you just a bit more, or set off some sort of debate or discussion amongst fans who are passionate about some specific property. There's a thrill to being able to bring you a new trailer or an opportunity to gather together for a particular movie, and not just because films are special to me, but because they're special to others, and it feels good to be able to share that bond with someone else in North Dakota or Sweden or over in the next county. Movies mean something to people, and it's touching to know that something I've written or said or put out there for others to read may have struck a chord in them to watch something or consider something in a new way or maybe even to have gone off with the desire to make movies themselves. But it's what I love to do... and, much like Victor Bariteau's family in THE AMERICAN SCREAM, there have been sacrifices made to support my dream. Money can be tight at times. Extra time is in short supply as I push to write up a review or try to get a story out as quickly as possible, because I feel I need to write it or I feel you need to read it. Sometimes my kid just wants to play with me, and I'm telling him just five more minutes, so I can let you know a new CONAN is in the works. THE AMERICAN SCREAM was a bit of an emotional film for me, because I understand, recognize and identify with what these three subjects are going through in their preparation for Halloween, and it really connected with me on a very personal level.
Michael Paul Stephenson's documentary gives a pretty extensive look at three haunters - Victor Bariteau, Manny Souza and the father-son combo of Rick and Matt Brodeur - all of different skill levels in bringing haunted houses to their communities on Halloween. They all have different motivations for how they go about bringing their houses to life, but the one thing they really share among themselves is a desire to make others happy. That's what all of their hard work is about. Sure, they can be able to say they built that or they created this, but, in the end, it's about knowing that someone's enjoyment on Halloween was caused by them. They'll be remembered for doing something great, even if they never receive a word of thanks or appreciation. They know how much what they do means to others... they can tell by the smiles or tears or screams that rise from the people who frequent their Halloween projects... and that's music to their ears. The stress and the frustration of doing something that is essentially your legacy shines through, and Stephenson doesn't shy away from showing the toll undertaking such a massive idea has on the person at the head of the operation, but also on their family. Chasing a dream like this can absolutely be viewed as selfish, because you have to be taking the support others are giving in order to achieve your goal without much room for giving back yourself. But there is plenty of space for bonding, for sharing your passion with your family and friends, for allowing them to also become part of the dream themselves.
THE AMERICAN SCREAM opens the door for you to be inspired by others who have the courage to chase their dreams. They're willing to take the risk to do something they love through all of their hardships, in order to be able to look back and say at least they tried to do something rather than be filled with regret down the line. If you walk away from this film, ready to embrace a passion or go after a dream or feeling like you want to make a change in your life doing something you enjoy on a much higher level than just as a hobby, then you understand what's at the heart of the film. If not, that's okay... you'll still find an emotionally engaging film about people who really enjoy Halloween to entertain you.
THE AMERICAN SCREAM premieres Sunday, October 28, on the Chiller Network at 8:00 p.m. EST, and is now showing in select theatres.

by Bass Ackwards
I mean look at the job duties Kidd lists, posting links to trailers and sitting in theaters with others for events someone else organized. Sometimes he has to even tell his kid to wait five whole minutes, because apparently that's how long it takes to post a link to another website's story. You don't think work like that comes for free do you? Must be tough though, with people banging down his door with those tons of offers for more money.
Oct. 27, 2012, 8:59 p.m. CST
Believe me... there are probably tons of things that I could do besides writing for Ain't It Cool News that would net me a lot more money and probably be much more beneficial for my family.

Doesn't sound like UND hockey fans don't have to worry about losing Jordan Schmaltz to the Major Junior ranks as he states that he is committed to playing for UND.
Kevin Baumer; Hockey Prospect —Schmaltz is set on honoring his new commitment to the University of North Dakota, which has produced NHL stars Zach Parise and Jonathan Toews in recent years, despite being at the center of a tug-of-war between the Canadian junior leagues and collegiate hockey.
In October the Windsor Spitfires went public with their recruitment of the heralded prospect. Schmaltz can't help being in high demand, but all he's worried about is fulfilling a life-long dream of attending college and following his family's legacy.
"I've always wanted to go to college," he says. "My Dad went to North Dakota, my two uncles, they all played football there. They're actually all from there too. I think it's a no-brainer to go to North Dakota. I still want to go the college route and I think ultimately it will make me the best player I can be."

I never told you all the title for our short, did I? Well, it's name is Weeding In. In brief, it's about a young couple in their mid-twenties, Jem (Jeremy) and Laura, and Jem's mother, Sue. Jem and Laura are in over their heads when, in an opportune moment, they come across a lot of money and take it and run. Now they're broke again, and looking for another quick fix. They visit Sue's house, but Laura has her suspicions. Sue is not quite the caring, doting mother that she seems...
I'm terrible at plot summaries, and I don't want to give too much away. At this point in time, we're not sure if we'll be entering the film in festivals first, or just releasing it online. We had a long day of auditions today, and shooting begins in three and a bit weeks....three weeks and four days....excuse me while I hyperventilate.
It seems terribly close, and at times I wish we were shooting later, but this is our final year project for uni, and we will have a lot more time in post-production compared to other groups. Talking about a script, and doing re-writes (and believe me, this script has gone through some pretty drastic ones), and saying 'Wouldn't this look cool?' or 'We should film somewhere like this!' is one thing - actually putting plans into action is another. For instance, I casually mentioned that my Uncle and Aunts house would be a pretty good interior location. Then last week we realised 'Shit, we really need to do this now.' So I had to call my Uncle (my Aunt is overseas) and ask him. One of the most nerve-wracking things ever, and I think my Uncle's great. But asking someone whether it's okay for a film crew to traipse through their house for a few days is something entirely, and I'd understand perfectly if he said no. Thankfully for us, he said yes. Test shoot tomorrow night, and if all else fails, my house is the back up (the main reason my house isn't ideal however, is that I live on the complete opposite side of the city to nearly everyone else at uni. This usually means I'm the one doing the travelling).
The script also called for Laura to drive a beaten up VW Beatle. By pure luck, I happen to know someone who has one. She's a learner driver, so she can only get the car to us on weekends with a supervising driver, but thankfully it's only one scene in the car. Should be fine. The thing is, there are at least five locations. Kitchen/dining interior; street exterior; Laura's room; Beach; Bathroom (preferably with bath). Oh, and Jem's bedroom, and his brother Brandon's room (although we only see a brief glimpse of that one).
I'm a little stressed. I'm not going to lie, I even feel a little like crying. The problem isn't making the film, it's the fact that we're making them in very small teams and the fact that I have two other courses that require major attention. I don't even have a steady job at the moment. Where I work, if there is a sound job I get called in. No sound job, no work, and there aren't that many sound jobs right now. So all I have to worry about is a five thousand word research essay and a personal networking report and organising a seminar and putting together a showreel and CV... If I could just pick one course to do, I'd be fine. If I could just be worrying about the short film, that'd be great. I'd love to devote all my time to networking with industry professionals. My research essay really interests me. I don't understand why this semester seems to be trying to break our backs with work. And I have it easy.
I've always identified with something Truffaut's character says in Day for Night (one of my favourite films):
"Making a film is like a stagecoach ride in the old west. When you start, you are hoping for a pleasant trip. By the halfway point, you just hope to survive."
Right now, I'm just hoping to survive this! It's all about the deadlines, isn't it? That's what makes it horrible. During the rest of the semester, this blog may be filled with some huge gaps as my time is consumed. I'm sure there's something productive I could be doing right now (such as a re-draft of the script. As I was typing this, we literally got sent the newest draft and we need the script somewhere between it, and the last one. Working with a separate writer has it's benefits and it's downsides too). I'm too tired, and too worked up right now though. This is a bit of a shame. Objectively, my day hasn't been that bad. It's just one of those moods.

Digital caliper is a measuring instrument (measuring) equipped with a linear slider that glides on a ruler. It is designed to take linear measurements of external contact. It can also measure internal dimensions, depths, among other bumps, eliminating the need to interpret the reading.
An electronic device increases the distance traveled by the cursor and presents it in a liquid crystal display. One advantage of this geometry is the possibility of switching between the measure presented millesimal-tenth inch and hundredths of a millimeter. Another advantage is the ability to zero the instrument at any point in the past to see the difference between the measures facilitating the inspection of various parts of tolerance without the need to interpret each one, for example.
For reference, the main scale of the simulator is graduated in decimal inches and millimeters.
This instrument, as a rule, can not replace the micrometer resolution thousandths inch, because its accuracy (inaccuracy between the actual value shown) is higher than the resolution (lesser extent shown by an instrument).

Angry Birds Space Gameplay Is Out Of This World... Really!
Posted on Thursday, March 8 @ 15:52:07 Eastern by Anthony Severino
I know downloads of Angry Birds are at astronomical levels, but now their announcements are literally out of this world.

Listen up though. Even if Angry Birds isn't your bag, baby, watch this video for the sake of Don Pettit's hilarious nerdiness.

On December 25th 2011, we all got the best gift: The Knicks winning over the celtics. BUT it was not a pretty win...Take the Jump to see why and my opinions on upcoming games.
Shump Shump got injured, Tony had no idea how to control the offense.. and people weren't cutting and spacing the floor but instead just looking at melo everytime he got the ball. We may have gotten the win but it was a terrible looking one. We led by 17 at one point and then were losing in the 3rd qtr. That should never happen. On to the next topic I see the Nets play tonight and I know everybody will troll me for this but I hope to see them win, hear me out though... The Celtics play the Heat for their next game.. thats a potential 0-2 whole for them and if the Nets win and Toronto does tonight they'd have to win 2 games to even be in the running for the top seed this early.. But then again this is really early in the season still. Anyways hope everyone likes me first post on this website. Tell me if you have some helpful criticism :D

Kids have more choices in fashion now than ever before. And that's mostly a good thing. However, there are some kids' fashion trends and some kids' styles that we should say goodbye to forever. Most of these are mistakes made by parents, so listen up and get your kid looking stylish for 2012.
Princess OverloadFinally, let's say goodbye to the Princess Overload Look. Pink is perfect. Sequins are super. Glitter is great. But all things are best in moderation. In fact any look that is taken too far is going to get old and fast. Too much pink, glitter, ruffles, giant headbands, kids' jewelery and a pair of kiddie high heels, all mixed together is just way, way too much. Tone it down. And in ten years, when you're looking back at your kids' photo albums, both your daughters and you will thank me.
Inappropriate Looks for their AgeSure a lot of kids out there are in a hurry to grow up, but they still need to dress their age. Mid-drifts, mini-skirts and tees with inappropriate messages on them should all be left hanging in the store. What age is the right age to introduce these fashions? That's a personal choice. And I know you have lots of opinions on the subject So let us know what you think. Tell us in your own words, I Can't Stand to See Kids Wearing...
If your and your preteen daughter are butting heads over fashion, you might need a little help. And my readers and I are always here to help you. Here's your survival guide Shopping for Preteen Clothes: What to Do When You Can't Agree
And finally, let us know how things are going in your family. Do you and your preteen agree on fashion? Take our The Preteens vs. Parents Fashion Poll
Out of Sync with KidsWhile I don't advocate raising your child to be a fashion hound, I think it is important to dress your kid in clothes that will make them feel confident and good about themselves. Sometimes, it's ok to give in and buy them something special that they've been asking for so long as they know it's a privilege. Read more about in Should I Give in and Buy My Kids Designer Labels?
Ignoring the WeathermanKids need the right gear to stay warm and dry when the weather is blustery and cool as a cucumber when the sun is shining. I know your Momma told you to always dress your kids in layers. She was right. Learn how to do layers the right way with a little The Season's Best Kids' Shoes for Girls and Boys. So you know your kids' feet will be right as rain no matter what the weather.
And of course, every kid needs good outwear for all weather. From rain slickers to winter coats, we've got the scoop on the Best Outerwear for Girls and Boys.

After their successful stifling of the Young Republican Quad Party Riot to be at Canisius College last month, Buffalo Police Investigators have determined the following:
1. Marshawn was not at Spot Coffee
2. The House o' Quinn was poppin!
3. Channel 2 broke the story because they thought that the Porsche Cayenne was headed towards Channel 7 where they feared Marshawn was going to make an on camera revelation.
4. The Late Night Shoe Shine business is the only growth industry in Buffalo (remember when getting a shine on Chippewa meant something else?)
5. They will chalk it up to yet another example of an out of towner in a hurry to get out of Buffalo.
Seriously, glad the girl was not seriously hurt.

(BEIJING, June 18) -- A photo exhibition on the Beijing Olympic Games opened in Dakar, Senegal, on Tuesday, according to Xinhua.
Chinese ambassador to Senegal Lu Shaye updated the attendants on Beijing's preparatory work for the Olympics. The opening ceremony attracted several hundred visitors who were amazed by such Olympic projects as the National Stadium (the "Bird's Nest") and the National Aquatics Center (the "Water Cube").
On behalf of the embassy, Lu announced that he would donate 10 million African francs (about 22,000 U.S. dollars) to Senegalese athletes who will attend the Beijing Olympics. Meanwhile, Chinese enterprises in Senegal also donated a total of 24,000 U.S. dollars for the purpose.
Seeing the donations as evidence of friendly relations between China and Senegal, the Senegal side expressed thanks.

What Dayton Moore Should Do Between Now and Opening Day 2012.
First thing, (and I know this is blasphemy) is to trade Butler for an arm. Not a borderline starter or a #5 but someone that could be our #3 SP and if that isn't possible package Butler with another player to get the deal done. Starting Pitching has to be the focus in between now and Opening Day 2012 whether that be acquiring arms or converting Crow and others from the bullpen to be a part of the rotation. Our lineup is starting to look real professional, we have the defense up the middle and we have what looks to be power on the corners. I think locking Francoeur up for 2 more years after 2011 would be a good move to allow Myers to develop, but if Myers forces Dayton to call him up through performance then the aforementioned Butler trade would allow Frenchy or Myers to DH when the other is playing the field. Trading Butler would also allow us to see if Robinson's tear in AAA is a fluke or not; it's most likely a case of him being a Quad-A player, but let's see what we've got. Butler is a professional hitter and I enjoy watching him play, but we're sacrificing power enough up the middle we just can't afford to do it in the DH spot. Keeping Butler on this team creates a logjam at multiple positions and will hurt "The Process" in the long run. If we have ANY players that don't have a real defined position they will waste away in the minors because they can't be brought up just to ride the pine. I understand we can't just give him away so in order for us to get a mid to top of the rotation guy we'll need to give up something good. Besides trading Butler and improving the rotation I don't see anything pressing on this team. We have CF's with speed and can play some D, 2B is held by Getz but we have Giovatella/Colon on their way, we're solid at 1st/3rd, LF and RF are good for 2-3 more years if we get Alex/Frenchy extended, SS Jesus is solid, catchers are on their way and the bullpen is always being tore down and rebuilt. Without a starting rotation this team is going nowhere, with Butler on this team certain prospects aren't either.

(WMC-TV) – A brother and sister are both dead after police say one killed the other.
Lauderdale County sheriff's deputies say the incident happened on Barfield Road.
According to law enforcement, Lynn Conrad stabbed his sister several times in the mobile home that they shared. He put her body in his truck and drove to a remote area to dump her body. His truck got stuck so he started walking to a nearby home to make a phone call. That is when deputies say he suffered the heart attack that killed him.
Conrad has a lengthy criminal record. According to friends and family, Conrad served time in the 1970s after murdering a man during a drug deal.
Action News 5's Janice Broach is on the scene working to learn more about what happened.

Jon Miller interviewed him during the final game of the season. I transcribed those comments to the best of my ability.
Miller: … Andrew Baggarly of the Mercury News was talking about how just a couple of wins last week on that road trip and the Giants would also be tied [for the Wild Card], so, the team still came awfully close.
Sabean: Well, I got one big question: what the hell are all these people doing here? It's a testament to their interest in the team, including us getting swept in Arizona and virtually being eliminated from the division and the Wild Card. To think it was sold out that the people showed up really is heart-warming. I know our players appreciated it. It certainly has been a tough year to navigate for anybody that was part of the team…
Miller: [the organizational meetings start soon], do they not?
Sabean: Well, we're gonna start tomorrow, and, actually, that's our first for us. Given all that happened last year, which was the good, it seems like it's all one whole year which last year was the good and the this year has been the bad and ugly, while everything was fresh in everybody's mind we wanted to get everybody in the room, starting with the manager, the coaching staff, some of the front office personnel and kinda, you know, share and care what our thoughts are and how we can get better first internally and how we go forward to build, you know, the team in the near future and get back to our winning ways, so, the sooner the better.
Miller: …you wanna see how the people in the organization are evaluating the players themselves? You wanna hear from everybody and get all of their input before you start making the decisions that are still to come this winter?
Sabean: Exactly. We'll go over everybody on the 40 man roster and, uh, try to do whatever we can to judge their situation fairly whether they're a free agent, arbitration-eligible to be, somebody that was a September call-up, and see how we can evaluate their role… how we would go forward or not go forward with specific needs and wants, and I think it's important, that, you know, especially after the two years we've been through that everybody gets a chance to kinda exercise their demons. And, you know, I think everybody will appreciate the opportunity to get in on their first gasp. We traditionally do it later and in a different fashion, but this year we decided that…
[Kouzmanoff singles, Fowler scores.]
Miller: You wanna hear not just about the players on the 40-man roster, then, but any possible free agents the Giants might go after. You wanna hear the feedback from everybody on different guys and that sort of thing, too.
Sabean: Well, everybody does have an opportunity in written form a) with the roster at hand and how we go forward with controlling who has contract left with us or who would be under contract; they have the opportunity to write out the 25-man roster. We also give them the complete free agent field and they have an opportunity to circle their desirable players, and then we compile that, and we'll go into those meetings in the next couple days and debrief all that information and kinda put together a relative game plan in both areas, first what we can do to get better internally and secondly, how the outside world looks at, will favor us as we identify our needs and what the possibilities will be.
Miller: … there really is no off-season if you're a GM… so, what are you anticipating… you think the Giants will dabble in the free agent market? They likely to pursue some trades? Try to fill some holes internally…?
Sabean: Well, I've already spoke to this publically and one of our themes going into tomorrow, we know two things: our pitching is our gold standard. Anything we can do will, uh, to keep that intact , uh, we need to identify what that means against payroll present and into the future. And secondarily, that's really how you build your ballclub and then whatever dollars you have left, how you'll decide to either keep your own free agent to be or pursue whoever you can in the market… but first and foremost we have to find a placeholder in our budget for what is our greatest strength in our pitching, and that's obvious.
Miller: [How do you see the wild cards playing out?]
Sabean: Well, you have to give all the credit in the world to teams like Tampa and St. Louis. You know, we were part of an interesting race like this for the wild card in '98, where I think we were five out with ten to play and ended up tying with Chicago to play a one-game playoff and losing it to them. But, uh, it just proves that with this new format – and, evidently, we may add even another wild card in the near future – uh, that, the season is never really over until you are mathematically eliminated. And, quite frankly, I'd like to see it tied in both leagues and go to a playoff game. It's great theater.
Miller: It really is… [I think the playoff used to be decided by a coin flip].
Sabean: Exactly. Back then, the coin flip was the old saying, "Always say heads and you'll probably make out." What is it? 51 percent against 49 percent, as ridiculous as that sounds.
[Miller and Sabean talk about '98 wild card.]
Sabean: Well, it proves exactly what we're talking about. It's a wonderful game. It's like life. Day to day, you don't know what the result's gonna be and, uh, you know, fall baseball, September baseball is meant to be meaningful and, uh, we've had a lot of Septembers like that. Fortunately, in most cases, we've had a chance, as we've been in a position to win the division, we've done it. In that case, we didn't get by that playoff game, but, uh, you know, it proves to what I said earlier: keep playing and good things can happen. I think that's the type of attitude we've built here in the last three years. The thing I'm most proud of was at least we're gonna win 86 games and that's pretty amazing to me, and a lot of it's the culture we've created, the fact that a lot of these guys come to play, expect to win, and a lotta other organizations would've gone the other way or perhaps their players would've tanked it and we certainly haven't done that.
Fleming: [Thoughts on how Beltran performed and integrated into the organization's "culture."]
Sabean: Well, it's obvious the guy can hit. I mean, I said it when we acquired him. He's gonna be every bit of what you want in a number three hitter in almost anybody's lineup. You know, as fate would have it, he gets here, he gets injured, and I think we were 5-8 in the 13 games he was out, but uh, he made a difference not only in lengthening our lineup but had the professional at bats you're looking for and I think it rubbed off on a lot of players, especially Pablo, so, he's the type of player that you wanna acquire at the deadline and we're certainly lucky that he's in a Giant uniform and we'll see what the offseason brings with him.
Miller: [On Beltran's comments to the media that Sabean should get a leadoff hitter.]
Sabean: Well, I think he's amongst a million other people that offer assistance and I certainly think he's right! You know, we've missed having the leadoff hitter the whole year. It's been difficult to put together an offense on the day to day basis including the leadoff hitter.
[Commercial Break.]
Miller: Brian, the Giants first round draft choice was Joe Panik… how well did Panik actually do up there [in the minors]?
Sabean: Well, the fact that he's a left-handed hitter in the middle of the diamond, and it remains to be seen whether he'll stay at shortstop – in fact, he's going to the fall league to play a little second base 'cause we could only protect one primary position and that's gonna be Crawford playing shortstop everyday – but, uh, our scouting people did a real good job on him. He's got good all-around skills and can handle himself at the plate and that's comforting to know that you have a bat like that coming in the middle of the diamond.
Miller: [re: AZ Fall League – there's only so much control any one team can have over their own players?]
Sabean: Well, by naming that player as the primary player you're pretty much guaranteeing he's gonna play four-plus times a week; and, in Panik's case, in Gary Brown's case, they'll only play a couple games a week.
Miller: [Brown had a great year in San Jose. Brass must be impressed by Brown. How good was he? How do we project him?]
Sabean: Well, we hope he's the prototypical leadoff hitter in time. And, he certainly can play center field. And to have the type of year, first full year in pro baseball is exactly what you wanna see, so, this kid's right on schedule. Good things are gonna happen to him. He came out of college as an accomplished all-around baseball player and that certainly helps with his being so well-rounded.
Miller: [Could Belt, Pill and Sanchez be on the big league roster next year?]
Sabean: Well, I think we've learned a lot about all of them and the one thing I'll say about young players in general: the game has gone – especially true in our division – to the pitching getting so much better that, as we found out starting with Belt in his case, you wonder whether he actually earned his way onto the team or was he here by default with Ross's injury? We know that we had to react, be quick on our feet in moving Crawford from A-ball … [Miller calls flyout, asks Sabean to continue:] We moved Crawford all the way from A-ball under duress because Pablo had gone down. We had to move Tejada to third base. In Sanchez's case, we were scratching our heads to try to get more offense and, you know, he had jumped from a real good start of his season in San Jose to Triple-A and was holding his own and we wanted to see what it looked like in the big leagues, but, uh, I mention those three first because as we found out, they're really not ready to play in the big leagues. We shouldn't expect them to be ready to play in the big leagues and it's tougher and tougher because of this pitching for them to perform; whereas, if you take somebody, by example, like Pill, who's got three thousand at bats in the minor leagues… who's played winter ball… seems to be a guy that you might be able to turn to next year in some form with your major league roster. So, the other three guys are still earning their way and we're gonna figure out whether they're in our plans or not in the immediate future.

by Laurence Packer – $17.99
The first thing that knocks one over the head about this book is "So many bees!!!" Who knew there are seven bee families and almost sixty species of bees between these seven bee families!
Anyone interested in the world's eco-system and bees' place in the eco-system would find Packer's, "Keeping the Bees", fascinating, detailed and informative. He takes the reader from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia to Australia, Europe, Central America and the United States, giving the reader in depth information on the lives of the different species in their different geological habitats.
With the essential role bees play in the eco-system, the decline of bees is a warning sign that bad things are going on in the environment. Bees are necessary both in providing a food source (honey) and as pollinators. We should be aware that without bees many of our food sources would collapse. One of the key problems that affect bees negatively is the worldwide use of pesticides; it has been shown to have the effect of decimating the bee population.
We all need to do our part in reversing the threatened life span of the bees. Packer recommends the following:
- Do not use pesticides
- Encourage bee friendly practices at all government levels.
- Buy local and organic food whenever possible.
- Make neighbourhood habitats bee friendly…walk on the grass to make friendly nesting places and grow raspberries and other pithy stemmed plants thus encouraging bees to make their homes.
Analytical and detailed, "Keeping the Bees" is a book which gives readers reason to pause and think about how these tiny insects contribute to our world.
Next meeting is on Monday, August 29 and the book is A Year of Living Generously.

Stimulus Was Meaningless For Jobs
- Joshua M Brown
- October 3rd, 2009
The good professor has brought back an old chart that Obama's econ team used to justify the stimulus package earlier this year and annotated it (in red) to illustrate how far the reality deviated from the projections.
From Greg Mankiw's Blog:
When the Obama stimulus plan was proposed, the president's economic team put out a report in January 2009 that purported to show what would happen with and without the fiscal stimulus. The chart above is from page four that report, together with the actual results over the past couple months. As you can see, the actual outcome is significantly worse than the projection with the stimulus plan and is, in fact, roughly on track with what was projected without the stimulus.
For the administration to have made these types of predictions was foolish to begin with. The macro is just way too shifty for this type of forecasting to be taken seriously, especially coming out of the White House.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Many animal lovers adore their dogsor cats, but some want a more unusual pet. Wildlife advocates urge people to think twice before you purchase an exotic animal that could be dangerous or even illegal.
The concern here is businesses may have permits to sell exotic animals like snakes, or iguanas. It's illegal for people to own them without a permit.
Shabrika Strawder would never buy a snake, millions of Americans purchase exotic pets each year. They may be cute at first, then they grow up. This 14 foot Burmese Python at Pets and Pals in the Albany mall has been returned three times.
"They get too big then they get out of their cage and get loose," said Strawder.
In June, a python escaped from its cage in Tifton and caused a neighborhood scare. This time, the owners found it. But Chehaw Park Assistant Curator Ben Roberts worries about the potential dangers of exotic pets that owners may set free.
"That's my biggest concern," said Roberts. "What happens when they decide they don't want it anymore? Think about it before you buy it."
That's exactly what folks at Pets and Pals want people to do. The Columbian Red-Tail Boa just had 20 babies.
So far, no one has bought them. Employees say they tell people who are interested - it's no easy task. The store must register each foreign animal with the state before selling them.
"It's 100 percent the responsibility of the person purchasing the animal to make sure it's legal for them to have it."
Another big concern is whether anyone is actually watching over people who own exotic pets.
DNR officials say they simply don't have the manpower to make sure those owners have the proper permits.

Since 1967, the Jewish Endowment Foundation has served as a repository of funds for planned giving, sustaining our Jewish community by assisting in emergencies and encouraging new projects and initiatives. JEF has an outstanding reputation for responsible investing and is trusted to steward charitable funds for many of our Jewish organizations and individuals. JEFs General Fund played a vital role in our Jewish community by contributing to the renewal effort following Hurricane Katrina.
With an eye on the future, JEF and its partners (see below) started Create a Jewish Legacy in 2009. The program concentrates on safeguarding our beloved Jewish community by creating endowment funds, which are invested and grow in perpetuity. One way to create a Jewish legacy is for donors to leave a bequest in their wills so that a dollar amount or percentage of their estate can be placed in a fund at JEF. Donors identify which specific agencies, synagogues, charities, or charitable causes they would like to benefit, and JEF then stewards the fund and distributes the income or a predetermined amount to the donors chosen entities. Another simple way to give is for a donor to designate JEF as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement plan.
JEF and its partners in Create a Jewish Legacy sincerely hope that every Jewish person in the Greater New Orleans area will take the time to make plans now and to let JEF know about them. Sandy Levy (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Patti Lengsfield (email@example.com) at JEF will be happy to talk to donors about giving options. Donors can also consult with their attorneys to structure their wills or provide a planned gift so that local Jewish organizations and synagogues will continue to thrive for the future of our Jewish community. The future lies in your hands.

Western Kentucky has dismissed senior center Teeng Akol from the team.
Akol started 16 of 27 games this season and averaged 6.7 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest. Hilltoppers coach Ray Harper said Akol will remain on scholarship to focus on academics and earn his degree, adding, "that's what's best for him and this basketball team at this time."
His dismissal follows other disciplinary action.
The 6-foot-11, 220-pound South Sudan native had missed two of WKU's last five games for academic reasons. He was also suspended for the first three games of the 2011-12 season for violating team rules.
Akol transferred to WKU from Oklahoma State during the 2009-10 season. He scored a career-high 23 points against North Texas in last year's Sun Belt Conference tournament championship.

Between Ev's Chimney and Zumie's Chimney. I rate it between the Right Detour (Alexander's Chimney) and Stettner's. About 60 feet to the right of Ev's. A crack is followed for two full 150' leads to the top of a large, detached block. It is one more long lead to the top of the climb.
A regular alpine rack and a couple of large cams (#3-4 Camalot). The original was done with pitons before "Bongs". Made protection interesting.

Kevin Pangos was absolutely brilliant in this last home stand. One of my buddies summed it up quite nicely when he noted, "We are a much better team when Kevin Pangos doesn't miss." As obvious as that may seem, the stats seem to back it up. Looking just at his 3-point shooting here are some lines.
Home games (14):
46-93, 49.5%. 3.3 makes per game on 6.64 attempts per game.
Neutral Games (3):
3-11, 27.3%. 1.0 makes per game on 3.7 attempts. (note, this is heavily influenced by his 0-5 effort in the battle and is a relatively small sample).
Road Games (7):
9-37, 24.3%. 1.3 makes per game on 5.3 attempts per game.
So what does this tell us. First off, Pangos really likes the MAC. He has been unconscious, going 10-13 in the last two games (biggest home stand of the year). He lit up SMC, making all of Zag Nation giggle with glee. He has been pretty consistent, hitting at least one three in every single home game. Considering we play a decent majority of our games at home, this is a good sign.
Unfortunately, as a freshman Pangos hasn't quite learned to travel yet. He averages about 1.3 less attempts per game, and 2 less makes per game. He has hit some huge threes on the road but the consistency hasn't quite been there. Don't get me wrong, I love watching Pangos and have full faith in him, wherever he plays, but I am very interested to see how he performs in our final three road contests and Vegas. Gonzaga travels fantastically to the WCC, so the energy should be there.
Just putting out the stats, interested to see what you guys think. I know I'm looking forward to the rest of the year and the next three years. This kid can fill it up, no doubting that.

Democratic efforts to turn Texas blue involve a new website called Battleground Texas, which is currently making headlines via comments made by a Dallas Tea Party leader.
"I'm going to be real honest with you, the Republican Party doesn't want black people to vote if they're going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats," said Ken Emanuelson at a Tea Party Q&A, when asked what Republicans should do to increase black turnout.
Emanuelson hasn't apologized, but he had clarified that he "misspoke."
I expressed a personal opinion about what the Republican Party 'wants.' That was a mistake. I hold no position of authority within the Republican Party and it wasn't my place to opine on behalf of the desires of the Republican Party.
What I meant, and should have said, is that it is not, in my personal opinion, in the interests of the Republican Party to spend its own time and energy working to generally increase the number of Democratic voters at the polls, and at this point in time, nine of every ten African American voters cast their votes for the Democratic Party.
Rep. Marc Veasey, an African-American Democratic congressman who runs Battleground Texas, has strong words for Emanuelson. "I am going to be real honest with you, Mr. Emanuelson," Veasey writes. "The Republican Party discounts communities of color at their own peril and attacks like these only serve to embolden us for the long road ahead."
Emanuelson seems to stand by his statement, judging by the number of news reports on the comments he's posted on his public Facebook page.

LUCAS Herbert's world amateur golf ranking will climb inside the top 30 after he guided Australia to a commanding win in the World Cup teams event at Royal Melbourne on Friday.
Herbert fired a two-under par 70 in Friday's final round, the best score of the day, to finish in third place in the individual event - the Australian Masters of the Amateur - at two-under par.
Herbert and team-mate Taylor McDonald won the teams event by a massive 13 shots from the United States, New Zealand and England.
In the individual event Herbert started the final round six shots behind equal leaders Simon Viitakangas and Todd Sinnott.
On a day when the majority of the field struggled in the windy conditions, Herbert produced some of the finest golf of his career in his first 12 holes.
He birdied the fourth, eagled the par-five fourth and birdied the fifth to be four-under par through five holes.
A bogey on the par-four sixth briefly halted his momentum.
Birdies on the eighth and 12th put him five-under par for the day and within striking distance of the lead.
Needing more birdies to make a play for the lead, Herbert played aggressively down the stretch, but made bogeys on the 14th, 16th and 17th to finish four shots behind winner Simon Viitakangas.
Herbert, who will study year 12 at Bendigo Senior Secondary College this year, was one of only two players to break par for the day.
