For a longer term solution, assess your baby's diet to see if there are any identifiable culprits. Add a probiotic or incorporate lots of organic, plain yoghurt to baby's diet which will help balance the intestinal flora. Do this especially if your child is taking antibiotics as they tend to deplete the stomach of both the good and the bad bacteria.
Another culprit for frequent/persistent diaper rash is Candida, the fungus that causes a yeast infection. If baby's bottom is bright red and shiny and has raised blotches, yeast may be the reason. All the above tips will help, especially the probiotics, but here are some additional remedies you can try for yeast if you want to avoid giving your child anti fungal medication:
Tea Tree Oil (external use ONLY): put a drop of tea tree essential oil into a heaped tablespoon of almond oil and either add to your baby's bath or massage onto baby's bottom. Make sure you dilute it as it will sting if you don't!
Yoghurt: we talked about incorporating probiotics into your child's diet but smearing plain yoghurt directly onto the diaper area is also great for yeast infections! The coolness of the yoghurt will help soothe the inflammation and you'll be kung fu(ngus) fighting the germs too. Double whammy!
GSE: one of my all time favourites and safe to use, even with a newborn! You can make a wash by adding 5 or so drops of it into a jug of warm water and applying to the rash or as an oral dose by mixing 1-2 drops with some juice. If you're breast feeding, take it yourself and it will move downstream to your child (adjust the dose accordingly).
Change detergent/diaper brand: if you are not using a natural laundry detergent, this may be the time to make a switch. I noticed R's eczema changing for the better the moment I switched from a regular (hypo-allergenic mind you) detergent to one free of harsh chemicals. Same goes for your brand of diaper.
Here's to soft skin, as smooth as a baby's *rash free* bottom!!

Due to a "pandemic" of two children infected with a new strain of swine flu after exposure to pigs, the CDC is gearing up for the new swine flu, H3N2. .
But then, buzz kill, it turns out that children are at a thirteen fold risk of developing narcolepsy from the squalene and thimerosal containing H1N1 vaccine available in some European countries. Naturally, the outbreak is being attributed to genetics.
A final report from Finnish health officials on the link between the 2009 H1N1 Pandemrix vaccine and narcolepsy confirmed the link, finding a greater risk than their earlier estimate and identifying a genetic risk factor in all patients.
The burning question is, what precisely about the European H1N1 vaccine is triggering narcolepsy? Genes, squalene, mercury, a combination— or something else? And could it happen here? As Barbara Loe Fisher wrote in 2009,
Oil-based adjuvants (MF-59 and AS03) manipulate and hyper-stimulate the immune system to mount a stronger immune response to the lab-altered virus or bacteria contained in vaccines. However, the use of squalene type vaccine adjuvants, which were allegedly added to experimental anthrax vaccines and made Gulf War soldiers sick, is controversial.
After lobbying by Loe Fisher's National Vaccine Information Center and other organizations, the FDA backed off on licensing squalene.
We successfully made enough fuss abou the potential danger of fast tracking licensure of squalene adjuvants into US H1N1 vaccines under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA that can be invoked during a declared public health emergency that the Feda Has NOT licensed these adjuvants for the US. There is squalene in the H1N1 vaccine licensed in Europe but not yet in the US. That is not to say the vaccine manufacturers will not try to get the adjuvants inserted into vaccines in the future, but for now we have won on this point.
I took more than a passing interest in last year's reports of increased incidence of narcolepsy among Finnish children vaccinated for H1N1 with Pandemrix. I'm part Finn on my mother's side and the mother of vaccine injured twins. Ever since I heard Andrew Wakefield muse at the National Autism Conference in 2008 that environmental susceptibilities may actually be linked to immunological strengths within certain ethnic groups, I've been paying attention.
My own family wasn't always so fragile—our ancestors hail from the region of Pohjanmaa, which at the turn of the twentieth century was a mostly unindustrialized region surrounding the city of Vaasa on the west coast of Finland. Our Finnish-born relatives often lived into their late 80's or 90's, when the typical American lifespan was about 50. They bore children until they couldn't anymore and were generally blessed with superhuman constitutions. My 6'5" Finnish great-grandfather died from a hernia he developed while digging a ditch at the age of 87. My 4'11" great-grandmother, whose surname I carry as a middle name, bore seven children— the last at age 51—and lived to 94. They could hunt, fish, build, ski, sail, train horses, you name it. Finns are notoriously tough. In temperatures as low as 40F below zero, Finns on skis armed with puukko fishing knives and domestically made submachine guns attacked Russian tanks with primal screams of "Hääka päälle!" ("Cut them down!") and knocked back the last invasion. To quote Garrison Keillor, the women were strong and the men were good looking.
But according to the spin-doctoring following the outbreak of narcolepsy, it's amazing this genetically disease-ridden race ever survived. The World Health Organization reported that 30% of Finns carry a gene "associated with narcolepsy". From The Boston Globe :
A WHO expert panel says of 22 narcolepsy patients tested, all had a gene commonly associated with narcolepsy, a disorder that causes people to suddenly fall asleep but is rarely fatal.
About 30 percent of people in Finland have that particular gene, compared with 15 percent in the rest of Europe, said Patrick Zuber, WHO's top vaccine safety official.
Last week, Finnish authorities said they had found a nine-fold increased risk of narcolepsy among 4- to 19-year-olds who were given the swine flu shots. In total, 60 children and adolescents contracted narcolepsy in Finland in 2009 and 2010. Fifty-two of them — or almost 90 percent — had received the Pandemrix vaccine.
For some perspective, the wishfully named Pandemrix is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. With its vast PR machinery, the company can get the media to report—or not report— pretty much anything it wants about adverse events associated with its products. None of the mainstream press reports include the fact the European version may contain not only thimerosal (which the American H1N1 contains) but squalene as well. The combination of thimerosal and squalene has never been tested for safety in children. From the European Medicines Agency reporting manufacturer's information :
Caution is needed when administering this vaccine to persons with a known hypersensitivity (other than anaphylactic reaction) to the active substance, an any of the excipients, to thiomersal and to resudes (egg and chicken protein, ovalbumin, formaldehyde, gentamicin, sulphate and sodium deoxycholate.
…AS03 adjuvant composed of squalene (10.69 milligrams), DL-α-tocopherol (11.86 milligrams) and polysorbate 80 (4.86 milligrams)
The suspension and emulsion, once mixed, form a multidose vaccine in a vial. See section 6.5 for the number of doses per vial.
Excipients: the vaccine contains 5 micrograms thiomersal
For a full list of excipients see section 6.1.
From a press release of the German Professional Association of Environmental Medicine (Deutscher Berufsverband der Umweltmediziner – DBU, translation by CSN – HERE ):
From 26. October 2009
Swine flu vaccine is unsuitable for patients with environmental diseases and other chronic multi-system illnesses. Pandemrix® poses substantial health risk with respect to mass immunization programs due to the lack of proof of safety. Because of the producer's release from liability by the German Federal Government (BRD), the risk of adverse reactions and/or permanent damage due to the vaccine rests with the patient.
The German Professional Association of Environmental Medicine (DBU) has, in spite of press releases from the BRD, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, as well as the vaccine producer's assurances of safety, serious concerns relating to Pandemrix® (GlaxoSmithKline), the only vaccine which has been approved for mass vaccination by the BRD.
The DBU discusses at this point neither the medical use of immunization in general nor the necessity of such measures in the, up until now, mild course of the swine flu pandemic.
Our criticism is directed only against the pandemic vaccine Pandemrix®.
For general and environmental health considerations the DBU urgently advises against carrying out a vaccination with Pandemrix® !
Squalene has been associated with a range of adverse events, from infertility to Gulf War Syndrome among American and British troops who received squalene-containing anthrax vaccines. Research by Tulane Medical School researchers links the anthrax vaccine to Gulf War Syndrome through the presence of squalene antibodies, as noted in the introduction to their report Antibodies to Squalene in Gulf War Syndrome ; military vaccine resource directory :
Date: 2002-07-15 Received August 15, 2001, and in revised form October 26, 2001
Squalene is also believed to increase permeability of the Blood Brain Barrier, which could theoretically increase the brain's vulnerability to exposure to mercury, toxins and any rogue pathogens in the same vaccine or from the general environment. From Rabchevsky et al. (thanks Teresa Conrick for sharing the above two studies :
Some studies of EAE (experimental allergic encephalomyelitis) in rodents report that peripheral injections of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), which contains heat-inactivated Mycobacterium to provoke peripheral inflammation without adversely affecting the CNS, can itself lead to increased BBB permeability to small tracer molecules and certain serum proteins.
In other words, "genes" may be getting a lot of help from certain vaccine components in triggering various diseases. The "Finnish gene" the press is referring to may be certain HLA alleles (DQB1*0602 and DQA1*0102) which are associated with risk of a range of autoimmune diseases among Finns and, to a lesser extent, other Scandinavians. There are different polymorphisms associated with the same types of disease among other ethnicities. But I think the takeaway message about the "disease association" gene is that it's not apparently a "cause" of disease on its own :
Although narcolepsy is likely to have a genetic predisposition, the low rate of concordance in narcoleptic MZ twins indicates that environmental factors play an important role in the development of the disease.
Here's what a book on autoimmune liver disease says about the variant : ... that it represents susceptibility to autoimmune disease.
What's fascinating is how pharmaceutical and genetic research interests have attempted to recast what are likely to be disease-fighting polymorphisms into disease-linked mutations. There's not a lot of layperson-accessible material on the disease-fighting properties of certain polymorphisms, but this did show up in a bizarre report on humans mating with cavemen to acquire a class of disease-fighting polymorphisms which might be extrapolated on in future research:
…hookups with Neanderthals and Denisovans introduced new variants of immune system genes called the HLA class 1 genes, which are critical or our body's ability to fight pathogens, to the gene pool of modern man.
Pleistocene eugenics aside (yes, one strange theory in the "new eugenics" is that some human ethnic groups are less evolved than others due to more or less caveman miscegenation), theoretically, like cutting Samson's hair, strengths – such as regional disease-fighting polymorphisms— can be doubled back on themselves and turned into weaknesses—disease/autoimmune susceptibility— if people with certain variants are exposed to various toxins.
Even the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase or "MTHFR" polymorphism—a genetic variant which should be familiar to many autism families— is associated with limited cancer-fighting properties as well as increased risk of other forms of cancer and oxidative stress. The protection provided by this polymorphism may be "weak", but the fact that a gene can protect against, for instance, squamous cells in lung cancer to any degree hints it might also turn out to provide some protection against certain pathogens :
In a catalogue of similar polymorphisms, including the "Finn narcolepsy genes" DQB1*0602 and DQA1*0102, these variants are associated with more than 60 diseases (including low measles antibodies after vaccination). One of the substances known to interact with the group of polymorphisms is mercury :
Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD)
The following chemicals interact with this gene:
D003907 Dexamethasone
D008628 Mercury
As a side note, dexamethasone a powerful glucocorticoid used to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, has several overlaps with mercury, such as cell cycle arrest impacting tubulin assembly and damage to mitochondria .
This might seem like a leap in logic, but one of the first things I learned about my Finnish heritage is the lack of active volcanoes in Finland, at least since the Ice Age. Volcanic ash is known as a chief source of natural mercury deposition in soil. As it stands, Finland is lacking in broad soil surveys for mercury content . This may have been due to the traditional lack of mercury deposition, though limited surveys of certain lakes and peat have found levels to be increasing since industrialization.
I'm sure this has been asked before-- what if, due to lack of traditional exposure to certain toxins, particular ethnic groups may have less resistance to those particular substances than groups which had evolved over the millennia with exposure, just as, for instance, some isolated cultures could be devastated by diseases carried by Europeans or vice-versa?
It might partly explain why Faroe Islands children, largely of Scandinavian heritage, responded more adversely to dietary mercury exposure than Seychelles Islands children, though this is bound ot be a gross oversimplification. For one, it ignores the fact the Seychelles study was funded by the fishing and coal-fired power lobbies and conducted among employees of Starkist tuna, the island nation's only industry. Seychelles parents may have been more likely to report what was expected by the researchers funded by their employer, especially considering these researchers were studying the effects of the company's products when consumed by children. Whereas the Faroe study (which found serious cognitive deficits among children born to women who consumed mercury-tainted whale meat in pregnancy) was wholly independent from government or mercury polluting industry funding, the lead researcher who conducted the Seychelles study had been involved in the cover-up of the "Canadian Minimata"—the Dow chemical corporation mercury spills in Canadian waterways which sickened and killed generations of First Nations people who subsisted on locally caught fish (see Jane Hightower's Diagnosis Mercury .) There is also the fact that residents of the Seychelles islands, which reside in the Indian ocean, would naturally be exposed to more sunlight and undoubtedly had higher vitamin D levels at critical points in infancy; and mercury exposure in the Seychelles may be somewhat countered by high citrus consumption amongst islanders. The Faroe Islands are halfway between Norway and Iceland—short days, no orange groves. All the same, it still begs the question of whether certain ethnic groups may be more susceptible than others to this or that exposure, whether due to lack of traditional exposure or due to the susceptibility of regional "Samson's hair" polymorphisms to "Delilah effect" of particular toxins. It's probably a moot point that both the Faroe and Seychelle Islands are partly or fully volcanic land masses: mercury content in stone is associated with more recent volcanic activity, and mercury is just as likely to be found in subvolcanic host stone and quartz, such as in Almadén, Spain , which harbors the most concentrated deposits of mercury in the world.
Apparently some of these susceptibilities, such as to celiac disease— which has risen from near zero rates in the middle of the twentieth century to about 2% in modern Finland— are strongly believed to relate to disease fighting polymorphisms
The unnamed study in question, which is probably Multiple common variants for celiac disease influencing immune gene expression, is interesting, but it would almost seem as if the viral association was highlighted as PR, since anything virally triggered would be of interest to vaccine manufacturers and therefore the media and could bring attention to a particular study, which it did in this case :
Abstract, Dubois et al.
We performed a second-generation genome-wide association study of 4,533 individuals with celiac disease (cases) and 10,750 control subjects. We genotyped 113 selected SNPs with PGWAS < 10−4 and 18 SNPs from 14 known loci in a further 4,918 cases and 5,684 controls. Variants from 13 new regions reached genome-wide significance (Pcombined < 5 × 10−8); most contain genes with immune functions (BACH2, CCR4, CD80, CIITA-SOCS1-CLEC16A, ICOSLG and ZMIZ1), with ETS1, RUNX3, THEMIS and TNFRSF14 having key roles in thymic T-cell selection. There was evidence to suggest associations for a further 13 regions. In an expression quantitative trait meta-analysis of 1,469 whole blood samples, 20 of 38 (52.6%) tested loci had celiac risk variants correlated (P < 0.0028, FDR 5%) with cis gene expression.
The gist of the research was that these polymorphisms were associated with immune protection from various viruses. Other research shows that genetic immune defense against pathogens might not only be impacted by pathogens The same research team had also linked a risk of celiac disease with a disease fighting polymorphism associated with immune defense against bacteria:
Recasting regional disease-fighting polymorphisms which exist in various cultures as disease-linked genes may be a way to sell drugs and biologics. For example, a polymorphism carried by 30% of people with Asian heritage, ALDH2, is associated with "Asian flushing" (response to drinking alcohol). Though the ALDH2 deficiency is also associated with protection from certain forms of cancer, the specific association between ALDH2 deficiency and increased risk of esophageal cancer is currently being broadcast in order to peddle Convivia and other drugs . The risk of the cancer is much higher in people with the polymorphism, but seemingly only among those who drink alcohol alcohol . It's possible that those who avoid alcohol could enjoy the disease-fighting properties of the variant and there seems to be no investigation of the long term risks of making those with ALDH2 deficiency Round-Up (alcohol) Ready.
Maybe in terms of some genetic variants, you can have your cake and eat it too—have your disease fighting polymorphism and live a vital existence—as long as certain groups of people avoid certain exposures. Being that these substances are usually universally bad for everyone but just a bit worse for some, theoretically it shouldn't be so hard to grasp the principle and implement. If 30% of an ethnic group carry a particular genetic variant, that variant was geared for survival and only survival. It could not have been a self-destruct button or that race—and the human species as a whole—would never have made it. To say otherwise is hogwash.
What strikes me as particularly insidious about the industry campaign to depict everything in human genetic makeup as diseased and borne of weakness—besides the usual effects of scientific hogwash on all fields of learning, culture and human welfare— is how much psychological and physical dependence this fosters on the medical industry. Talk about a universal blow to human self-esteem. While commercial science tells us that our greatest source of self-esteem should be its (commercial science's) contributions, it is meanwhile telling us that, as a species, we're a genetically booby-trapped epic fail.
But the truth might be the reverse: as a species, we may be more marvelous and well-designed than we ever knew. If anything, we might curb our enthusiasm about the contributions of commercial science until more is known about the impact of certain technology and wonder a little at our tendency to worship it. For a little Einstein refrigerator magnet wisdom, "It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity". Though preventive medicine and genetic research obviously have their place, the lack of separation from commercial interests—which, without considering long term effects, may snatch at expedient fragments of an investigation in midstream in order to generate marketable technology— seems to increase the risk of medicating away the very features which enabled the species to endure and evolve to begin with.

Kalagadi says ArcelorMittal ordered to pay R241mBack

High Court Judge P Coppin also ordered the company to pay the costs of the legal proceedings and ruled that ArcelorMittal discharge its financial obligations in the future - prorata to its shareholding in Kalagadi Manganese.
A three-member joint venture (JV), comprising ArcelorMittal with a 50% stake, Kalahari Resources with 40% and the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) with a 10% shareholding, agreed on a funding strategy during 2009, in which each party's equity funding obligations were outlined and plans to raise external debt funding in South Africa and on international markets were established.
The equity of the funding was set at 40%, or R4.2-billion, and the debt element at 60%, or R6.5-billion.
To date, Kalahari Resources injected over R1.3-billion into the JV, while the IDC has invested R100-million. Kalagadi said ArcelorMittal's equity funding obligation reached about R500-million.
Kalahari Resources brought the matter to the High Court in May to ensure ArcelorMittal honoured its shareholder-agreement obligations, after the group failed to settle the matter out of court.
ArcelorMittal's application to have Kalahari Resources placed under business rescue was also struck from the roll with costs.
ArcelorMittal said in a statement that it was disappointed with the High Court ruling, as it did not resolve "the real" issues. The company claimed that certain material obligations under the Kalagadi Manganese shareholders agreement had been breached and that there remained "serious shortcomings" in terms of corporate governance in the mining firm.
ArcelorMittal said it would review the judgment and consider its options.
Mashile-Nkosi did not believe there would be any hostility between the parties as they moved forward in the best interests of the JV and its operations.
"We are now focused on moving ahead, completing the project and enabling it to meet the enormous potential it has to move South Africa up the beneficiation curve, create sustainable jobs and contribute to the national economy," she said.
While Kalagadi's three-tier project experienced challenges with its equity funding, she said local and international investment roadshows have elicited a strong response from debt funders.
Kalagadi Manganese was currently in the final stages of developing a three-million-ton-a-year manganese mine and sinter plant, in Hotazel, in the Northern Cape, and expected to cold commission the mine at the end of July and hot commission it by the end of October.
The mining company also planned to develop a 320 000 t/y high-carbon ferromanganese smelter at Coega, in the Eastern Cape, during 2014.
"The ruling means the people of the Northern Cape will get their two-in-one project – the mine and the sinter plant - while the people of the Eastern Cape will get the smelter which will provide a major anchor project for the Port of Coega," Mashile-Nkosi added.

Road projects receive stimulus funds
Published: October 15,2009
Tags: construction, federal government, infrastructure, recession, state agency, stimulus, transportation
NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI — Funding provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has paved the way for numerous overlay projects in Northeast Mississippi.
According to Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) officials, ARRA funding provided for overlay work on 10 sections of state-maintained roadways, and allowed officials in District One to move forward projects that were planned for coming years. District One includes Winston, Choctaw, Webster, Chickasaw, Pontotoc, Union, Tippah, Alcorn, Tishomingo, Prentiss, Lee, Itawamba, Monroe, Clay, Oktibbeha and Lowndes counties.
Overlays were applied to the following roadways thanks to ARRA funding:
• U.S. 45 ALT from West Point to north of State Route 25 in Clay and Monroe counties; from Artesia to the Clay County line in Lowndes County; and, between SR 8 and the northern-most Monroe/Chickasaw County line in Chickasaw and Monroe counties
• U.S. 82 from a point near Military Road to the Alabama state line in Lowndes County; and, SR 15 from the north connection of the SR 15 Bypass to the Pontotoc County line in Chickasaw County
• U.S. 72 from the Tippah County line to Corinth in Alcorn County
• SR 365 from the Prentiss County line to U.S. 72 in Tishomingo County
• U.S. 45 from Dryden Road to the Lee County line in Monroe County
• U.S. 78 from Belden to Tupelo in Lee County
• U.S. 78 from Fulton to the Alabama State Line in Itawamba County.
The projects on U.S. 78 provided the necessary improvements for U.S. 78 to become the future I-22, said District One engineer Bill Jamieson.
"The other eight projects allowed the District to contract much-needed overlays to help provide the motoring public the type roadways that they expect," Jamieson said. "This additional funding allowed the District to put under contract this year projects that were planned for the next three years."
MDOT received a total of $354,564,343 in ARRA funding. To date, $300,212,956 has been obligated.

Its 4-0, TinCaps over Lake County, after three innings on a beautiful night at Parkview Field.
The TinCaps got their first two batters on with doubles in the first inning, and both scored. Jace Peterson led off with a hustle double on a hit into shallow right-center. Running hard out of the batter's box, he beat the throw to second. He then scored on Donavan Tate's double into the gap in left-center.
Tate moved to third on a passed ball, then scored on Austin Hedges' ground ball into the hole at shortstop that was called a hit.
The TinCaps got two more in the bottom of the third when Lee Orr singled, stole second and scored on Duanel Jones' double to center. After Jones moved to third on a wild pitch, Tyler Stubblefield's ground ball was misplayed by the Lake County first baseman, which allowed Jones to score.
Because it's 70s night, the TinCaps are dressed in the old jerseys of their San Diego Padres parent club. The jerseys are primarily brown, with mustard-yellow on the sleeves.

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger.

Wes Bentley, star of American Beauty and The Hunger Games, is suddenly everywhere. Over the weekend, he appeared in two new movies: Christopher Nolan's Interstellar and A.J. Edwards's The Better Angels, an ethereal, black-and-white drama that explores Abraham Lincoln's childhood. In the latter, Bentley plays a soft-spoken school teacher who enters our future 16th president's life and nudges him towards greatness. It's a role in stark contrast to another appearance playing concurrently on the small screen: American Horror Story: Freak Show's Edward Mordrake. Seriously, Bentley is everywhere. Vulture sat down with the actor to touch on each of his spinning plates, plus the everlasting effect of The Hunger Games and an unlikely fandom surrounding Ghost Rider.The Better Angels director A.J. Edwards is a close collaborator of Terrence Malick, a filmmaker known for shooting ideas on the fly and finding the story as he goes. But this »

I'm seeing Kevin Spacey everywhere lately, despite the fact that the movie star seems to have left traditional films behind. Perhaps better than any other A-lister, Kevin Spacey has embraced a shift in media way from film being the end-all, be-all of quality, and his experimentation with other forms of alternative media is really a case study in the changing landscape of storytelling. Before 2008, Kevin Spacey was best known as the star of such films as La Confidential, American Beauty and The Usual Suspects. He was a movie star practically without equal, which is why many questioned his sudden switch into less traditional stories. I think all this started in 2008 with Recount, the HBO original film that had Spacey in the middle of the 2000 Bush vs. Gore recount debate. It was arguably one of the best films of the year, and Spacey was smart enough to see that,…

I'm sorry Lfo fans, you're going to be sorely disappointed if you turn on Antonio Tublen's similarly titled movie expecting to hear about everyone's favorite one-hit-wonder boy band (Chinese food makes me sick too!). Instead, Tublen's Lfo is more an artistic exhibition than Hollywood journey, being the cinematic equivalent to Wes Bentley's bag-obsessed character from American Beauty. There's an admirable quality about Tublen's aggressively eccentric story, which blends science and magical hypnotism, yet this same strive for obscurity also ends up being an over-bloated deterrent. What starts as a provocative existentialist look into a puppeteering society unravels in a hazy fog of European synth-pop, sexual desires and apocalyptic overtones, like a mad scientist's experiment gone horribly awry.

Establishing an identity and a focus is always the biggest challenge for film festival organizers not affiliated with marquee events like Cannes, Telluride, Toronto and Sundance — even if they've been at it for a while. But despite its placement on the calendar just as the holidays are kicking into high gear and awards season makes inordinate demands on talent, Poland's cinematography showcase Camerimage has fulfilled its mission statement from day one back in 1993, when it was held in the medieval town of Torun, the home of Copernicus.
Arts programmer, fest founder and director Marek Zydowicz took early encouragement from the late, great d.p. Conrad Hall ("Road to Perdition," "American Beauty"), whose generous spirit, he says, "presides over the festival and inspires us all."
Now situated in Bydgoszcz, the festival's remoteness— the journey from Los Angeles can be arduous — contributes to its character, and the large international »

Ron Howard's "Frost/Nixon" disappointed with only $18 million at the domestic box office. So the logical thought was, "Sequel!?" Well, say hello to "Elvis & Nixon," the "Mothra vs. Godzilla" of the Richard Nixon franchise. Ok, "Elvis & Nixon" has nothing to do with Howard's film, but it is an in-the-works docudrama starring two major talents that could prove even more fruitful than the Michael Sheen/Frank Langella pairing. Production company Bloom announced late Wednesday evening that Michael Shannon will play Elvis Presley against Kevin Spacey's Richard Nixon in the based-on-a-true-story film. Liza Johnson ("Return," "Hateship Loveship") will direct "Elvis & Nixon" based on a script by Cary Elwes (of "Princess Bride" fame)and actors Hanala and Joey Sagal. Indie producer Cassian Elwes ("The Butler," Cary's brother) will produce alongside Holly Wiersma ("Dallas Buyers Club").

Academy Award Nominee Michael Shannon (Man Of Steel, Revolutionary Road) will star as Elvis Presley alongside two-time Academy Award Winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, The Usual Suspects) who will star as Richard Nixon in the extraordinary true story Elvis & Nixon.
To be directed by Liza Johnson (Hateship Loveship, Return), Elvis & Nixon is based off a screenplay by Cary Elwes and Hanala and Joey Sagal.
Two men at the height of their powers, conscious they could not stay on top forever, both ripped with fear of the inevitable, sharing one famous private moment in the Oval office. Elvis & Nixon recounts the morning of December 21st 1970, when the King of Rock' n Roll (Michael Shannon) showed up on the White House lawn to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Richard Nixon (Kevin Spacey). He had a very urgent request: to be sworn in as an undercover Federal Agent at large. »

Written by Justin Haythe and based on a novel by Richard Yates
Directed by Sam Mendes
Marriage is a two-way street. The union of a man and woman is basically a tug of war and it is a battle fought in many arenas. One arena is the suburbs and while a married couple with kids in this environment seems copacetic, one must look a bit deeper to unravel the mystery: the pain, resentment and utter chaos that lies beneath. One film that explores the woes and occasional hell of marriage is 2008's intense and truly gripping drama Revolutionary Road. Based on Richard Yates 1961 novel of the same name, it is a picture that sums up all the torment and bitter realities that sometimes come with married life.
The film takes place in the 1950s, a time which many Americans still perceive as the height The American Dream »

10. Deliverance (1972)
Scene: Squeal Like a Piggy

Word to the wise: just because someone plays a mighty fine banjo, it doesn't mean he or any of his kin should be invited to your family picnic. Based on the James Dickey novel of the same name, Deliverance follows four businessmen as they decide to spend a weekend canoeing down a fictional river before it needs to be flooded. Lewis (Burt Reynolds) leads the crew as the most experienced, followed closely by Ed (Jon Voight). The two novices Bobby and Drew (Ned Beatty, Ronny Cox) also join them. So, in remote Georgia, the four men set out to take in the beauty of nature. Before setting off, they come across a group of mountain men, all of which appear to be inbred.

You've probably already spotted the Esquire UK post called "Films Stupid People Think Are Clever" where the likes of Christopher Nolan and David Fincher are given the shortest end of the stick. It's a worthless article that represents the easiest kind of contrarianism: People like these things? Let's say we don't like them, but not really explain why. Now, I'm a reasonable un-stupid person by all the traditional rubrics. My Iq is three digits, my Sat score was four, and I'm probably one (maybe two) practice sessions away from being able to walk and chew gum simultaneously. I've read books like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Love in the Time of Cholera," and I think I've understood them. They're about girls, right? Just kidding.

The single greatest moment in human history, that particular kernel of time in which all of our best nature triumphed over all of our worst, was when we first set foot on the moon. The idea that we started as basic tool users at some point in our past, looked up into the sky, pointed at that thing overhead and said, "We are going there," is completely insane, and yet, we did that. One of the primary themes of Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated new film "Interstellar" is that we are in danger as a species when we lose our drive to explore. The film is set in a future where we have had to give our full attention to survival, when the idea of space travel is off the table completely. And while that seems extreme, considering the way the world felt when I was a kid living two hours »

It is as much a part of Halloween as pumpkins, trick or treating and stuffing your face with candy. Halloween just wouldn't be Halloween without an annual viewing of the Disney spook-fest that is Hocus Pocus.
Firmly established as a cult classic, the 1993 movie was a surprise hit, taking 8 years to get made and originally being planned as a straight-to-tv project titled Disney's Haunted House.
21 years on from its release, we look back at the film's stars and find out where they are now.
1. Bette Midler as Winnie
What did Better Midler do after Hocus Pocus? She spent the next 21 years being Bette bloody Midler, isn't that enough for you? If you want more specifics, she's been nominated for three Grammys, produced a stage show, starred in her own self-titled sitcom, been on 7 tours, released 7 albums and starred in movies such as Parental Guidance, The Women and The Stepford Wives. »

It's been a busy fall for young actress Kaitlyn Dever, who appears in Lynn Shelton's Laggies, out Friday, and stars in Jason Reitman's Men, Women & Children. Dever proved her formidable acting chops in last year's Short Term 12 playing an abused teen in a foster-care facility—look no further than the scene in which she reads a children's story her character wrote about an octopus. In the scene, Dever let's her character's disconnected, tough façade slip away. Her performance in that movie and The Spectacular Now got her labeled the "Summer's Indie It Flick Queen" by Teen Vogue. »

Sam Mendes' production company has snapped up the film rights to Enid Blyton's Magic Faraway Tree books...
So this is going to be interested. Enid Blyton's four terrific Magic Faraway Tree books have been snapped up for a trip to the movies. The film rights to them have been acquired by Neal Street Productions, the company owned by Skyfall and American Beauty director Sam Mendes.
At this stage, it's just an option that's been taken, but it seems clear that Neal Street Productions wants to get the Magic Faraway Tree on the big screen. We wouldn't be British, of course, if we didn't question whether character names such as Moon Face and Fanny will make the translation. Saucepan Man and Silky the Fairy are on safer ground, we'd wager.
It's still early stages for the project, and there's no writer or direct attached that we know of right now. »

Iran's supreme leader has praised the massive turnout at the government-backed rally marking the 1979 Islamic Revolution and warned the West to stop putting obstacles in his country's path.
State Press TV reported on Friday that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei thanked the "tens of millions" who showed up on the anniversary.
Mr. Khamenei says the gathering reflected the nation's strength and that it's time for "foreign enemies to wake up and abandon futile efforts to subjugate" Iran.
The statement was posted on Mr. Khamenei's Web site late Thursday, hours after the state-organized rally dwarfed opposition gatherings across Tehran.
Police clashed with anti-government protesters in several locations, firing tear gas to disperse them and paintballs to mark them for arrest.

Edit: Turns out this was just an idiot problem--which anybody looking at the SqlLocation could probably figure out--in that every time I built the application a new copy of the .sdf was copied into the application directory, overwriting the previous one. Also, the database I was checking for updates was not the one in the execution directory, but the one that was being copied into it, which is why it was always empty. I noticed this because when I tried to add the same DPS multiple times the first time I would get the DPS review started message, but subsequent attempts would give the error that it had previously been created.

The Magazine
Charles McCarry may be the best novelist of his kind.
Oct 5, 2009, Vol. 15, No. 03 • By DAVID SKINNER
McCarry is tall and bald, with a hairless face and owl-like eyes that betray little but a constant flicker of mental processing. His manner is formal and restrained, but his conversation, like his fiction, has a naughty edge. Explaining why his prose avoids metaphors and similes, the 79-year-old writer gives an example: "If you say, 'Her [genitalia] smelled like the Rose of Sharon,' in the first place it's not accurate, in the second it's a diversion."
A gifted student who "never met a teacher who didn't hate me," McCarry was accepted at Harvard but, lacking money for tuition, joined the Army. There he learned the trade of journalism. Returning home to Massachusetts, he earned money cutting wood, then took his earnings to Ohio to serve as best man at a friend's wedding. After the nuptials, McCarry ended up paying the preacher--and broke. Checking in at a nearby unemployment office, he found a job as a reporter for the Lisbon Evening Journal and the Youngstown Vindicator. In the village square of Lisbon, McCarry met a pretty librarian "with an even prettier smile," Nancy Neill. Today, they have four sons and have been married for 56 years.
In April 1956 a friend wrote to him about a speechwriting job at the Department of Labor. After taking a writing test, McCarry started working for Secretary James P. Mitchell, who deputized him as his representative to a committee for the National Stay in School campaign, a good-government public relations effort to address the social illness of rebellious, disaffected youth. Soon the young speechwriter was recruiting well-known athletes and actors to record radio spots, which he wrote himself and for which he popularized the term "dropout"--as in "Don't be a dropout. Stay in school."
On weekends, he began writing for men's magazines--True, Argosy, Cavalier--with an eye to saving enough money to move, with his wife and two small children, to Majorca, where he was going to hunker down to write the Great American Novel. After rejecting a job offer to write speeches for President Eisenhower, McCarry submitted his letter of resignation. Before he left town, however, Secretary Mitchell called and invited him to lunch in his office. When McCarry arrived, Mitchell was waiting for him with another man, a lofty government figure to the young speechwriter. After introductions, Mitchell left, suggesting McCarry and the other man have a chat.
It was short, pleasant, and partly in French, the first of several foreign languages McCarry learned to speak. The lofty figure asked McCarry to join the CIA. McCarry asked: What could I possibly do for the CIA? "That is not your problem," the lofty figure replied. "We must find out what it is you want to do and make it possible for you to do it."
"Which," McCarry observes, "is the most succinct definition of covert action I have ever heard in my life."
The CIA contact said the agency would pay for his family's air fare to Spain and gave him six months to write. "I didn't finish the Great American Novel, by the way; I never did. But we had a great time in Majorca." Then, as planned, the 28-year-old writer started working for the CIA.
The family moved to Geneva, where Charles ("Mac" to his friends) took a job working for the director of the International Labor Office of the United Nations while pursuing operations for the agency. A singleton, "I worked by myself," under deep cover, with great freedom. "I could think up projects, mention them, and get them approved."
McCarry offers little more about his covert work, citing his oath never to betray the agency. He does say his description of operations work in his novels is "authentic," but is less vague only when talking about CIA culture. McCarry always describes intelligence work as intelligent work, and the CIA, he found, was full of gifted minds, many with literary tendencies.
"Nothing was so highly valued" at the CIA, he says, "as the ability to write." The writerly mind shares certain functions with espionage work: "An operation," McCarry says, "is a plot."
One can go further and say the spy is a writer--and vice versa. McCarry's fictional master-spy Paul Christopher is a recovering poet and has an actual day job writing for American magazines--just like his creator. Christopher's fictional birthday is the same as McCarry's, and the name of Christopher's family home in the Berkshires is also "The Harbor." Discussing whether Christopher's specific adventures as a spy are realistic, McCarry assures me that they are, saying that his own life as a CIA operator was similar to Paul Christopher's.

Gatherer's Gourmet Granola to double product line following Kickstarter campaign (Video)
Send this to a friend
- Barbara Pinckney
- Reporter- Albany Business Review
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Gatherer's Gourmet Granola of Schenectady, NY has turned to Kickstarter to support the addition of three new, certified gluten-free products to its line.
The 3-year-old company, which employs five people in its bakery at 388 Broadway, is seeking $15,000 in the crowdfunding campaign, which runs through Aug. 9. As of this morning, it had raised $5,575 from 129 people. But Sandro Gerbini, the company's founder and president, said it could hit $7,000 by the end of the day.
Gatherer's currently has three products on the shelves of local retailers, including Price Chopper, Hannaford, Shop Rite and Honest Weight Food Co-op, and stores in 10 other states. A smaller sized bag is sold in vending machines at IBM, local hospitals and some offices of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google.
Gerbini, who is 26, declined to disclose revenue, but said the company sells about 1,500 pounds of granola a week. It turned its first profit at the end of 2012.
The products are made from organic rolled oats and various ingredients, including honey, peanut butter, and maple syrup, produced within 50 miles of Schenectady.
The three new flavors, which took more than eight months to develop, will give Gatherer's entry into the growing gluten-free market.
"It is a smart business move," Gerbani said. "Customers, and potential customers, have been asking for gluten-free, and this gets us into some stores that otherwise wouldn't give us the time of day."
He said large supermarket chains do not need additional granola products, but gluten-free is a category by itself, and one in which stores will compete for new products.
Pinckney covers banking, health care, media and advertising.

Circle Y
Kenny Harlow Cedar Run Trail Flex2 Saddle
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: Circle Y
Model: Kenny Harlow Cedar Run Trail Flex2 Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle new from HorseSaddleShop.com on sale for about $1800. I have a massive (tall and wide) gelding, and have spent more on saddles over the past several years than I ever did on the horse. And (of course) every time I found a saddle that fit him, it didn't fit me. I did a lot of research into the Flex2 tree, and decided it was worth a shot. I bought it with a 15" seat and a wide bar.
Likes: This is hands down the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden in. The seat is like riding on a pillow, and it holds you in enough, while allowing you to still move for seat cues. I took it out of the box and went for a 3 hour trail ride and for the first time had no knee or back pain. (Hip pain is inevitable when you ride a barrel for a horse). Needless to say, my gelding is not the smoothest of rides, but this saddle made things so much better. I also love the flex tree. My gelding has had perfect sweat marks after each ride, and it fits my other horses as well.
Dislikes: There are 2 thing that I wasn't thrilled about. First, the stirrups leathers are plastic with leather reinforcement over the holes, which I was not expecting. I suppose it really doesn't matter in the long run, but I still would prefer all leather. Second, the saddle cam with nylon billets. I know this is a minute detail, but I found that until I swapped them for leather I had troubles with saddle slippage. Also worth mentioning is the length of the stirrup leathers. I have long legs (about a 35-36" inseam...yes, buying jeans is a real joy), but I am 2 holes from the bottom. So anyone with long legs might want to check into this before buying.
Quality: This is truly a well-made saddle. I was hesitant, because I had seen some of Circle Y's new saddles, and was less than impressed. The softee leather was just that, and I have no concerns about the saddle wearing out. I bought the dark oil, and some of the dye wears off on your jeans (this happened with another new dark oil saddle that I had, so I guess it goes with the territory).
Summary: I love this saddle! I've considered buying another one for my other horse...

November 26, 2014
A homicide trial is expected to begin in late June for a Crandon woman accused of running over and killing a three-year-old boy in September 2010.
Investigators say Shanice Stands, who was 17-years-old at the time of the crash, did not have a driver's license and had THC in her system when she was behind the wheel. According to court documents, Stands only had her learner's permit from Minnesota.
She's charged with homicide by negligent use of a vehicle, and homicide by a vehicle using a controlled substance.
According to the criminal complaint, Stands was backing out of driveway when she allegedly backed over the boy. He was transported to a Rhinelander hospital but died that evening due to his injuries.
Stands, now 21, is free on a $100,000 signature bond.
The three-day trial is expected to begin June 25.

text: 000 FXUS65 KTFX 241025 AFDTFX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT 325 AM MST Mon Nov 24 2014 .DISCUSSION... Today through Wednesday...Satellite indicates a shortwave east of the zones and another over the Eastern Pacific approaching the West Coast. A ridge will build over the region although flow aloft will remain disturbed. A strong jet will approach the Rockies Monday ahead of the shortwave and surface winds will become very strong and gusty across the Northern and Southern Rockies. A high wind warning will be issued. The airmass will become very moist as this shortwave continues towards the Rockies. Light snow will move east across the Rockies tonight and begin a lengthy period of light snow. Periods of heavier snow by Tuesday will cause significant accumulations over the Rockies and portions of Central and Southwest Montana. A warning for snow and blowing snow will be issued through Wednesday evening. In addition, advisories will be issued for much of the remaining zones except for Hill and Blaine. Zelzer Wednesday night through Monday...Model guidance continues to come towards a consensus on the weather pattern for the bulk of the long term. Temperatures are expected to be near seasonal values for Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday as a weak ridge moves into the area behind the winter weather system. Another round of moisture appears to be be on the way by Friday evening with the next surge of cold air moving South along the Rocky Mountain Front. This cold air will combine with pacific moisture and should produce some widespread snowfall beginning Friday evening and lasting through most of the weekend. Temperatures look to drop dramatically with this cold air intrusion and highs may be limited to the teens and single digits across much of Central and North Central Montana. The coldest day appears to currently be Saturday. Temperatures should begin to warm up slowly by the start of the work week, however Even on Monday the high temperatures may still be below freezing for a large part of the area. Suk && .AVIATION... UPDATED 0540Z. Latest satellite/radar imagery showing the main portion of a weak upper-level trof is currently passing thru central and southwest MT with widespread VFR ceilings (generally above 5000 ft) and spotty -SHRASN and -SHSN near all local terminals except KCTB. Expect little change in conditions next 4-6 hrs as the trof makes it way across the region.
