Reviews for Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
Good gamerjb789 | March 26, 2014 | See all rjb789's reviews »
This is a pretty good, tension filled, horror shooter which lives up to the conventions of the genre and each minute of playing this game will be filled with scary, jumpy experiences. The graphics in the game are nothing special but they serve their purpose of making the game much more immersive and therefore scary. The sound design is also a stellar part of the game and the various effects in the game help to create an even more immersive atmosphere. The gunplay is well handled in the game and each of the many weapons feel realistic. This game is a very good game for fans of the horror genre and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys games such as the FEAR series
A tense classicKokuei | March 26, 2014 | See all Kokuei's reviews »
Back when survivor horror actually meant survivor horror. When you start the game; you don't recall anything. You have barely anything for weapons and you know something is very wrong. You then search the castle for your family members.
The gameplay is actually pretty good. The castle is generated new every time you start a new game. The main objective remains the same. The game doesn't let you save nor there is an auto save. You have limited weapons, ammo and health. Use them wisely.
The story is interesting. Don't expect much though; this game is basically a roguelike in a survivor horror setting.
The sound is what makes the game tense. The music keeps the hairs on the back of your neck tingling and the sound makes you on edge. The voice acting is terrible though.
The game has absolutely no graphic settings. You can't change the resolution or anything. You have to deal with the low resolution the game defaults to. The game looked old when released; especially when you compare to Half-Life 2 which was only 1 year after this game came out.
The game is fun if you can get around the fact that the graphics are terrible to look at.

A Florida Marlins Blog
[powered by WordPress.]
After a disappointing 2011 campaign(72-90) the Miami(Formerly Florida) Marlins added a new fiery skipper in Ozzie Guilen, 2 all stars(new closer Heath Bell and shortstop Jose Reyes) and 2 veteran starting pitchers(LH Mark Buehrle, RH Carlos Zambrano) to the team as the club prepares to kick off its first season in new spacious Marlins Park. This team has major upside as well as talent and should be a fun watch in 2012. Health as always is a major issue with a key being a healthy return of RHSP Josh Johnson. The 2010 NL ERA champion did not pitch after May 16th in 2011 but was 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA in 9 starts. Lets focus on the two areas that will be drawing the most attention as camp starts(Pitchers and Catchers report by February 22nd, Full squad February 26th).
1- Hanley to 3rd- With the offseason signing of 2011 NL Batting champion Jose Reyes, the plan is to have veteran SS Hanley Ramirez move to 3b. The 6 year veteran and 3 time all star has had two injury plagued campaigns back to back but remains a favorite of Guillen. "Hanley is the biggest piece of the puzzle, and I've got to make it work. You are going to see a different guy on the field. I guarantee, when you see Hanley in spring training, he is going to have a smile." A healthy and happy Hanley would provide 20 plus homers and steals with a 300+ batting average while turning a good team into a dynamic team. Something to ease the minds of Marlins fans: Star Shortstops such as Cal Ripken Jr. and Alex Rodriquez have made the transition from SS to Third base successfully. This move will be the monitored and discussed throughout the 2012 campaign.
2- Who is in Center?- This position is different than 3B where the club is moving a star who is being sub planted by another star. The Marlins have 2 options here with super utility man Emilio Bonifacio, who hit .296 with 40 steals in 2011, and Chris Coghlan, the 2009 NL Rookie of the Year in Left Field, who was the opening day CF in 2011 but saw an injury marred season end after 65 games. Coghlan had shoulder and elbow issues throughout 2011 while undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in November 2011 . He can play some 3b as well and would be a good player to carry on a National League club. Minor Leaguers Scott Cousins and Bryan Petersen are also candidates to make the club. After a strong 2011 campaign, this job is Bonifacio's to lose.
Separate reports from ESPN, Fox and CBS sports have the Miami Marlins completing a deal for volatile Chicago Cubs Right handed starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano as early as Thursday January 5th. The Marlins would send starting pitcher Chris Volstad to Chicago per CBS Sports' Jon Heyman while Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal reported that the Cubs would pay between $15-16 million of the $18 million Zambrano is owed in 2012. The righty has a no trade clause from the Cubs but that is not reportedly an issue. Meanwhile, Volstad has started 102 of 103 major league games over the past 4 years and was 32-39 with a 4.59 in those contests. He was 5-13 with a 4.89 ERA in 2011.
Zambrano is a tremendous talent but has finally worn out his welcome in Chi town, the final straw occurring August 12th when he gave up 5 home runs , then threw at the head of Atlanta Braves icon Chipper Jones and was ejected. He then left the stadium early,said he was retiring and was placed on the team's disqualified list. He was 9-7 with 4.82 ERA in 24 2011 starts and 125-81, 3.60 ERA in 319 games . Zambrano pitched a no hitter in 2008 and ranks 2nd in Cubs history with 1542 strikeouts. He has a strong relationship with new Marlins skipper Ozzie Guillen, as the are both natives of Venezuela and regularly worked charity events together in Chicago. Interesting to note that he has hit 23 career home runs, the most since St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Bob Gibson retired in 1975 after hitting 24.
Kevin Goldstein released his list of the top eleven Marlins prospects and there's some potential stars at the top of the list. Number one on the list is Christian Yelich. The 2010 first round pick, Yelich raked at Low-A and he'll move up the chain to High-A in 2012. He's still a couple of years away but this could looks like a keeper in the outfield.
Number two is Jose Fernandez. They locked up their top pick in 2011 in time for him to pitch in a couple of games but we'll get to see how he does at Greenboro in 2012. He's a few years away but this guy has the potential to pitch in the middle of the Marlins rotation in the future.
Marcell Ozuna is number three and he's another young outfielder. This guy brings a lot of power but he's a couple of years away. J.T. Realmuto (C) and Chad James (LHP) round out the top five.
John Sickels posted his Miami Marlins Top 20 Prospects list and while there's some optimism in Miami because all of the signings, but the farm system is thin right now with the top guy getting only a B+. Topping that list is outfielder Christian Yelich. This guy can rake and he's a power/speed guy but Sickels talks about how he has a problem against left handed pitching. Number two is also an outfielder, Marcell Ozuna. He's also a solid power/speed guy and he's also good out in the field. It'll be fun to see whether these two guys both make it into the Marlins outfield.
Number three is the top pitcher, Jose Fernandez and he's the last of the straight B's. He hasn't pitched yet though and it'll be interesting to see if he ends up in as a starter or as a reliever. Rounding out the top five is J.T. Realmuto (C) and Matt Dominguez (3b).
The Miami Marlins signed a top free agent Wednesday but it was not Albert Pujols! The team signed veteran LHSP Mark Buehrle to a 4 year, 58 million contract, the team's 3rd high profile signing in three days. The southpaw, who broke in with the Chicago White Sox in 2010, was 13-9 with a 3.59 ERA over 205 1/3 innings in 2011. He is one of 6 pitchers all time to throw both perfect game AND no hitter. You cannot underestimate the role of new Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen in this signing, who was Buehrle's manager with the White Sox from 2004 thru 2011. The signing also allows the other members of the rotation to fit in slots that are more ideal as well as realistic. RH Josh Johnson, Buehrle and RHs Ricky Nolasco, Anibal Sanchez and Chris Volstad should form an excellent starting staff. Many media reports had the Marlins close to signing St. Louis Cardinals superstar 1B Albert Pujols but team president David Samson confirmed at the Winter Meetings Wednesday night(12-7) that the team was out of the bidding. Several outlets had the Miami offer being for 10 years and 220 million dollars. Pujols or no Pujols, this has been a huge week for the Marlins. The team has now focused on LHSP C.J. Wilson, a free agent from the Texas Rangers. However,he is reportedly close to signing with the LA Angels.
Numerous media sources are reporting that free agent (and ex New York Met) SS Jose Reyes has signed with the division rival Florida Marlins late Sunday night. No specific documented numbers have been established but ESPN's Buster Olney has the deal at 6 years, 106 million. Fellow ESPN expert Jayson Stark has a 6 year,102 million number with an option for a 7th year guaranteed at $4 million. Reyes,28, played 9 years for the Mets and won the National League batting title this season after hitting .337. During his tenure in Queens, he batted .292 with 370 steals and 740 runs scored. As more information becomes available, I will comment further but this looks like a done deal. This is a tremendous move for the Marlins, obviously, supplying them with an elite leadoff man and defensive stud at SS. Additional reports have current Florida SS Hanley Ramirez agreeing to move to 3B in the spring of 2012, a major position of weakness for the club. Supersub and spark plug Emilio Bonifacio and 2009 NL Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan will battle for the vacant center field position. Meanwhile, many media outlets have the Marlins preparing to meet with St. Louis Cardinals free agent 1B Albert Pujols agent Monday or Tuesday at Baseballs Winter Meetings "to make an aggressive run at Pujols over the next two days," according to Stark. Incredible off season so far for the young and up coming Florida franchise.
Numerous media reports late Thursday night, early Friday morning(December 1st and 2nd) state the Marlins and free agent closer Heath Bell(Formerly of the San Diego Padres) reaching agreement on a 3 year deal. The contract is for 3 years/27 million and will be finalized after Bell takes a physical in Miami December 2nd. The Marlins have reportedly decided to non-tender their 2011 closer Juan Carlos Oviedo(formerly known as Leo Nunez) as he continues to deal with the ramifications of his identity scheme in his homeland , the Dominican Republic.
The Florida Marlins top 10 prospects according to the November 14-27,2011 issue of Baseballamerica.com.
1- Christian Yelich,OF
Grades(Based on 20-80 scouting scale with 50 being a major league average)
Batting: 65
Power: 60
Speed: 55
Defense: 55
Arm: 45
2- Marcell Ozuna, OF
3-Jose Fernandez, RHP
4- Matt Dominguez, 3B
5-J.T. Realmuto, C
6- Chad James, LHP
7- Rob Rasmussen, LHP
8- Noah Perio, 2B
9- Scott Cousins, OF
10- Adam Conley, LHP
After a an injury plagued 72-90 2011 campaign look for Florida Marlins to be major players in free agency and the trade market in 2012. With the influx of revenue from their new home in downtown Miami, this team wants and needs to make a big splash. A big middle of the order bat, starting pitching and late inning reliever have to be on the wish list of Marlins President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest. Lets take a look at possible target areas.
SLUGGER: Rumors all over the internet about the Marlins being linked to the top two names in the 2012 free agent class, First Basemen Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals and Prince Fielder of the Milwaukee Brewers. Florida's 1B Gaby Sanchez made the 2011 NL all star team and is a solid run producer but not an elite stick like these two. A signing could clear way for a position change or trade. 3B is a need area for the Marlins as well with top prospect Matt Dominguez definitely in the mix. Chicago Cub free agent 3B Aramis Ramirez would make a lot of sense at this spot. Veteran INF Greg Dobbs manned the hot corner for Florida in 2011 but is more of a situational lefty bat of the bench at this point in his career. If the team decides to trade LF Logan Morrison, a corner OF bat might be needed. But based on his history with talented but high maintenance players, I think new Marlins skipper Ozzie Guillen wants to try to make Morrison the player everyone thinks he can become.
STARTING PITCHING: Many around the game expect RHP Javier Vasquez to retire at the age of 35. Young veterans Ricky Nolasco, Chris Volstad and Anibal Sanchez will be in the rotation again while ace Josh Johnson should be healthy when the team breaks camp after missing most of 2011 with right shoulder inflammation. This is an area that Marlins figure to spend serious dollars on and a lefty is needed on this righty dominated starting staff. Texas Rangers LHSP C.J. Wilson has to be on the top of the the teams list while veteran long time Chicago White Sox LH Mark Buehrle should be another name to remember. Florida has some depth and kids but needs a top of the rotation arm to compete with the big boys in the NL East.
BULLPEN: While this unit was greatly improved in 2011 after a disastrous 2010, they still have needs. Due to closer Leo Nunez continuing legal problems(He is currently on the restricted list due to an identity issue in his home land, the Dominican Republic) , the team needs to focus on signing a 9th inning man. San Diego Padres Heath Bell, Milwaukee Brewers Francisco Rodriquez, Boston Red Sox Jonathan Papelbon and Philadephia Phillies Ryan Madson are the top free agent closers and the Marlins are sure to target one of them. Bell makes a lot of sense in Miami. The rest of pen remains solid with veteran RHPs Edward Mujica and Clay Hensley joining Lefties Mike Dunn and Randy Choate to man the set up group.

Things are about to get real interesting in Miami. The long rumored merger between the Florida Marlins and Manager Ozzie Guillen came to fruition September 29th and the ex- Chicago White Sox skipper signed a 4 year deal(10 million dollars total) to become the face of the franchise. Known as a fiery, feisty leader who laces interviews with four letter words, the ex Marlins Third Base coach brings energy and attention to a team that needs it. He guided the White Sox to the 2005 World Championship and the 47 year old was a 15 year major league player(12 years with the White Sox), making 3 all star teams. He clearly has established the number #1 goal of his regime: getting former all star SS Hanley Ramirez back on track. "To me, Hanley Ramirez is the biggest piece of the puzzle," Guillen said. "My job is to make this guy put a smile on his face, enjoy this game and enjoy the game the way it should be played. Not the way Ozzie thinks it should be played, but the way it should be played. A lot of kids look up to him, I look up to him myself … but there's one thing I've got to tell you: This kid is going to be back to where he was and he's going to be playing the game the way it should be played. … This kid is one that might take off to the prime-time."
MIAMI MARLINS: The team played its final home game at Sun Life Stadium as the Florida Marlins September 28th and the club's name will officially change to the Miami Marlins on November 11,2011 as they prepare to move to their new retractable roof ball park in the Little Havana section of Miami. Since the Marlins inaugural 1993 season the team has shared homes with the NFL's Miami Dolphins and more recently, the University of Miami football program, so this a big moment for the franchise.
JUMBO JAVY: Veteran RHSP Javier Vazquez was named National League Pitcher of the Month after winning all 5 of his starts and posting a 0.71 ERA. He tossed complete games in 2 of his last 3 starts and had a 29 inning scoreless string in mid month. The 14 year veteran has made hints that this season was his last but his post all star performance(10-4,2.15 ERA) show he can still do it at the major league level. Vazquez sites his desire to spend time with his family as reason he would walk away from the game.
MARLINS NOTES: Guillen is already at work, actively recruiting Chicago Cubs controversial RHSP Carlos Zambrano to join him in Miami. The volatile Cub has been in trouble off and on for about 5 years due to on field behavior and was placed on the disqualified list after telling teammates and members of the coaching staff he was going to retire after he was ejected from a game August 2nd for throwing at Braves star 3B Chipper Jones, The 30 year old was 9-7 with a 4.82 ERA in 24 starts and is under contract thru 2012. Zambrano is owed $18 million in 2012 plus he has a vesting option for 2013 totaling $19.25 million if he finishes in the top 4 in the 2012 CY Young voting. The Cubs would carry him to Miami if the Marlins ate this contract, big circus with him in Chicago…. Marlins resigned INF Omar Infante to a two year $8 million dollar contract September 27th and he should be the everyday 2B for the length of the deal.
FREE AGENTS: INF Greg Dobbs, INF Jose Lopez, RHP Javier Vazquez
ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLE: RHP Burke Badenhop, C John Baker, INF Emilio Bonifacio, RHP Clay Hensley, RHP Edward Mujica, INF Donnie Murphy, RHP Leo Nunez(on restricted list due to legal problems), RHP Brian Sanches, RHP Anibal Sanchez, RHP Chris Volstad

GAAP's Route
to Market
audience in the movie theater that afternoon reacted to
some parts of the film with groans, snickers, and laughter,
but two related scenes created buzz and outrage. Every accountant
should take to heart the scenes where Enron's management
announces to its assembled employees that the SEC had granted
the company the right to account for trades at "mark
to market." The employees erupted in cheers and danced
on their chairs, and management stood before them beaming,
arms around each other, all evocative of a New Year's
Eve gala. The next scene is a clip from a video produced
by Enron, with Jeff Skilling playing himself in what was
probably intended to be funny but what was in fact chillingly
predictive of the end game, explaining how "mark to
market" would work to enrich Enron's traders
and management.
course, many of those individuals indeed become amazingly
wealthy, but many more Enron employees, investors, and creditors
lost substantial sums, including life savings and pensions,
in what became one of the largest scandals in American business.
though then–FASB chair Ed Jenkins argued convincingly
during Congressional hearings that GAAP had not contributed
to the accounting problems at Enron, the shifting paradigm
in accounting principles from an accountability model to
a valuation model created an environment for "creative
accounting" that had not existed since before World
War II. The glee with which Enron's employees embraced
mark-to-market accounting brought home to me the fact that
individual financial accounting standards have increasingly
reflected a fairly narrow orientation toward asset and liability
and Behavior
rational managers will generally pay close attention to
what is being measured. If asset and liability values are
the focus of recognition and measurement, then most managers
will spend their time and efforts making sure that their
reported measurements reflect positively on their behavior,
because their personal economic success depends on it. Indeed,
such a focus is probably appropriate in companies whose
business consists of trading financing instruments. On the
other hand, such an orientation for companies whose primary
business is producing or delivering goods and services may
not motivate attention in the right direction.
painful irony of the Enron documentary, however, is the
cautionary reminder it provides that accounting should be
more fundamentally about accountability than about valuation.
Without regard to the type or size of entity, virtually
all external constituents have as a primary purpose restraining
insiders from transferring unearned or unauthorized value
to themselves at the expense of less powerful outsiders.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to demonstrate
how the current trend in accounting standards supports this
Solomons, a moving force behind FASB Concept Statement 2,
Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information,
reminded us as frequently as possible that relevance and
reliability were necessary but not sufficient conditions
for data to be useful because "it could be unrelated
to use at hand." Solomons was also fond of comparing
accountancy to cartography, the science and art of mapmaking.
Cartographers have no difficulty reconciling their representations
of different facts in different ways. They match the scale
of a map to its purpose, and an individual map represents
only a selection of what it could, because showing political
divisions, terrains, agriculture, minerals, ethnicity, and
wealth distribution all on the same map would make it unintelligible.
accounting standards should address (at least) two maps
in GAAP. The first, accountability, would be useful for
virtually all entities. The second, valuation, would possibly
be useful in situations where an entity's equity is
continuously traded. Our current problem is that accountability
has been neglected for 25 years or more, and those that
prefer its neglect dismiss it as irrelevant to valuation.
They're wrong.

Triangles like the one videotaped here are often seen by witnesses in the hours before close encounters, and are seen in an area where such encounters take place.
How do three (what appear to me to be) lanterns add up to a triangular craft? I don't get it. There is nothing in this video to suggest there is a physical craft up there. We just have a comment from the guy doing the filming to say that it (they) 'flew' over.
I would suggest (as I have a few times) to watch these with the sound off. You will get a much better impression of what you are looking at and you don't get swayed by over-excited (but I am sure, well meaning) individuals doing the filming.
Any video of a genuine UFO is undermined by the sort of soundtrack they used on this one. The music is annoying, distracting, and raises questions about the setting in which the video was shot. The operator of the camera seems to be sincere but he is shooting himself in the foot by allowing the footage to be "packaged". It looks like an excuse to advertise the guys who did the "packaging" rather than to inform the public of a possibly significant sighting. Shame.

Regional Mag 5280 Acquires Denver Magazine
5280 will retain "intellectual assets" while Denver folds.

Blogs are great. We should have done this ages ago. What a fantastic way to hear directly from y'all (and I don't often get a chance to use the word y'all). So, i'm going to repeat back some of your first impressions. This is by no means everything you've sent us, and many of you won't think these are all good, but we like to hear a range of ideas. We can look at the priorities of these later. For now, some of you are...
1) Confused by the random avatar.
2) Wish you could select from a set of prebuilt avatars instead of uploading.
3) Prevent gaming the system by multiple self-voting (i.e. Helpful) in Reviewer pages;
4) Worried these new features will slow down the site experience
5) Sort Movie Reviews by Similarity % (or by date, or by pretty much anything)
6) Be able to find people with high similarity (e.g. the top 5 people similar to me), and hang onto people you've found.
7) Some confusion about the edit/delete reviews functions, timing
Friends repairs (or, perhaps, the return of sorely missed features) including
1) Average ratings for you and each of your Friends;
2) Loved by your Friends and Recommended for you suggestions;
3) An Overview page for each Friend, not just ratings or queue;
4) Edit/Delete Movie Notes with your Friends
How's that? Are these the most important things? What are we missing?
Great feedback for one day. Thanks gang.

Decision time nears for Dunbarton school vote
The Authorized Regional Enrollment Area (AREA) agreement ends in 2014, and Dunbarton voters must choose whether to continue its 40-year relationship with Goffstown, or pursue a new partnership with the Bow school district.
Should Dunbarton choose to let the agreement with Goffstown expire, Goffstown could lose as much at $2 million in tuition revenue.
With about six weeks to go before the final vote, the Dunbarton School Board has held a public information meeting and arranged for tours of both Goffstown and Bow schools later this month.
At Wednesday's meeting, the Dunbarton School Board presented information highlighting the similarities and differences between the districts in areas, including test scores, course offerings and taxpayer cost.
Philip Pancoast, chairman of the Goffstown School Board, said the re-negotiated AREA agreement includes new provisions that will give both Dunbarton and New Boston a slightly lower rental charge and more say in educational decisions over the next 10 years.
"We've done all the things necessary to make sure those communities have a voice in the education of their students," Pancoast said.
Under the new agreement, school board members in the two towns will have a vote on school board sub-committees. "The sub-committees do most of the work of the school board," Pancoast said. "A vote on a sub-committee is meaningful."
The building rental charge paid by Dunbarton and New Boston, which is part of the tuition calculation, has been reduced to 2 percent from 2.5 percent, Pancoast said at Goffstown's school deliberative session Saturday.
"We're returning to where we were 10 years ago," Pancoast said. "We needed to have an agreement that was competitive on a price basis." Dunbarton School Board Chairman Rene Ouellet said that after much negotiation, the AREA agreement with Goffstown stacks up well against the one with Bow.
Pancoast also said the relationship among the three school districts has been beneficial to the Goffstown community.
"We've had a very effective marriage for the past 40 years," he said. "It's substantially important to this community."
A point of contention between Goffstown and Dunbarton lies in the repayment of an $800,000 bond that paid for improvements at Goffstown High School, which Pancoast said contributed to the school's accreditation.
Pancoast said Goffstown's position is that Dunbarton would still be responsible for repayment of its share of that bond, regardless of whether Dunbarton continues the agreement.
"Nowhere in the statutory scheme does it say you get to exit without consequence," Pancoast said. "You can't go to the statute to resolve this issue."
But Ouellet disagrees.
"Our position is simple," he said. "If we do not renew the agreement, it expires," adding that state statute doesn't address the repayment of any bonds.

Recently I stumbled upon a firm based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, that calls itself Pancreum, "The Wearable Artificial Pancreas Company." Wow. Really? There is such a thing already? I just had to investigate.
The company's website describes a four-part system including a controller (PDA), a CGM sensor called the "GlucoWedge," a small wireless insulin pump called the "BetaWedge," a small wireless glucagon pump called the "AlphaWedge," and a set of "iPancreum" software apps that manage these components and allow for storing and graphing data results. This seems like an incredibly ambitious undertaking for a tiny unknown outfit.
The first thing I did was ping Aaron Kowalski, who heads up JDRF's Artificial Pancreas Project, but he had never heard of this company, so that put me off a bit. Is Pancreum for real?
Turns out that Pancreum's Co-Founder Gil DePaula not only has decades of experience in software engineering and a stint at Medtronic Diabetes working on the Guardian RT system under his belt, but also spent 5 years at Insulet Corp., where he worked together with Marc Anderson, JDRF's Manager of New Technology. Pancreum is currently made up of Gil and a handful of contractors.
I had a call with Gil last week to learn more about the company, which also boasts on the website that users will be able to control the Pancreum system directly from "your own hand-held iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile SmartPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or Linux devices."
"We are creating all three wearable devices that make up an artificial pancreas (plus) the handheld controller, which is mainly software and can be run from a PDA or smartphone. The three wearable items are an insulin pump, continuous glucose monitor, and glucagon pump — which is different from what others are doing because there's no commercial 'predicate device' yet for glucagon delivery," Gil says.
"Our system will physically look different than anything you've seen before, and will be configurable in a way that you can use the pieces separately. You can mix and match the three components based on your preferences. The controller will automatically recognize whether you're wearing the CGM and insulin pump only, or the insulin pump and glucagon pump, etc."
"All three devices together will take the space of maybe two OmniPods at the most," Gil adds. "Obviously they can't be next to each other on the body. Think of a circle (or disk) with the diameter of two pods. Three devices will lie on the outside of the circle, at the three points furthest apart, say 4 inches from each other. Our system is going to be flexible, not solid, for comfort and wearability. There's a key technology element that makes all of this possible, but I can't disclose that yet because the patent is not yet ready."
Does the word "Wedge" in the product names imply some sort of triangle shape? Gil doesn't deny this, but says he can't elaborate just yet. He also can't yet share any sketches or visuals other than the "guts" above – darn!
What he does talk about are other big advantages of this enterprising project: lower cost than competing pumps and CGMs, and the ability to use this system "plug-and-play" style with other products on the market. Interoperable diabetes components at last? No way!
Yes, he says, Pancreum hopes to provide an open platform of specs that other companies can develop to, allowing interoperability. In other words, the Pancreum PDA would be able to control your own "custom artificial pancreas" that might be made up of the OmniPod and a Minimed CGMS, along with a glucagon pump from a third provider. The Pancreum algorithm will be the "gatekeeper" that controls all three.
Gil has applied for several patents, and is currently stumping for venture capitalist funding, he tells me. He's in the process of creating working prototypes now, but has made a conscious decision not to approach JDRF until the company is funded and further along. "If you present just an idea, it's worth X. If you have a prototype, it's maybe worth 3X. And if you can show more, it's worth 10X," he explains.
They're planning to roll out the components one at a time, starting with the CGM. "We need to sell that to investors first," Gil says.
Even if Pancreum gets the funding it needs this year, it will be another 2-3 years down the road before anything would be ready for market.
That's not surprising. But what about getting past the FDA with a system that can automatically shut off insulin delivery, reduce it, or initiate glucagon delivery? (With the glucagon pump, you won't have to rely on temp basals to decrease insulin delivery when you go low!)
"With the FDA, when everything is automatic, they fear software bugs. And so do we. We're human," Gil says. "They don't like the automatic shut-off, but we believe that with the glucagon pump portion, it changes things. It can raise your glucose level fast and efficiently. Sure, if your glucose level is raised to 250, you'll maybe get upset. But it's better than plunging down to 20."
Other companies, like Medtronic, are also working on commercializing glucagon pumps, Gil says. What will they look like? Possibly very much like insulin patch pumps. But the cannula may differ greatly. "It depends on the viscosity and corrosion of each liquid," Gil says. If you say so.
If you're like me, you'll find this stuff exciting. Just make it work, Engineers and Medical Experts — oh pleeeeaaaase! I realize it can be hard to hear about early-stage companies whose innovations are still far off. But think of the alternative… And with that I say: Thank you, Gil.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Schmooru's Experimental Videos Bring Network To #7 In ComScore Rankings
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On the back of innovative programming, Schmooru Network again breaks into the top ten on comScore's ratings of YouTube Partner channels.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121008/SF88299LOGO)
Series like viral favorite "Do Cats Like", documentary series "Work No. 16", the psychologically provocative "Ask Dr. Esther", and the network pillar "The Narrow Show", have found their audiences and are unique among online offerings. The recently launched "Spectacle Show" along with the series premiere of "Jack's Nite Out" is expected to propel Schmooru even higher up the list this fall.
"We're unlike any other network in the top 10 on comScore, because instead of paying lip service to trying new things or waiting for some brand to sponsor them, we just go out there and do them," explains Dan Beckmann, Co-Founder, Managing Director of Schmooru. "Allowing true creativity to reach audiences unmolested is what keeps us at the top and keeps interesting talent working with us."Schmooru first broke the top five on comScore last year with its innovative "Art as Life" project, distributing abstract art videos through the internet far and wide. "The foundation of our success is our independence," said Tori Taylor, Director of Operations, Schmooru, "from our network of over 1,000 filmmakers to our relationships to our independent websites, we can take chances that others are simply too scared or bloated to take."

Azaleas (of the genus Rhododendron) are arguably the South's favorite shrubs. In fact, no plant has shaped the Southern garden more than the Indica Azalea, which first came to us from Japan. By 1845, the largest and oldest collection of Azaleas flourished at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens up the Ashley River from Charleston. Azaleas are planted planted abundantly as ornamentals in the Southeast United States. They bloom in Spring with their blooms lasting several weeks.
Southern Magnolia Tree. The Southern Magnolia is one of the best known trees found in Mississippi and throughout the South. As the state flower and tree, Mississippians have a strong love for Magnolia trees. In 1986, the American Forestry Association awarded a Southern Magnolia in Smith County, MS, the distinctive National Champion. At a height of 122 feet and diameter of over six feet, this tree became the largest Southern Magnolia reported in the United States. Flowers appear at intervals during the summer on the Magnolia tree. In 1938, Mississippians elected the Magnolia as the state tree and in 1952 the Magnolia flower as the official state flower. The Magnolia tree located at the Fairview Inn is a favorite spot for travelers and locals alike to take a photo opp.

Berlin is the first city to have its own Internet domain name, allowing those based in Germany's capital to register an address ending in .berlin. Those wishing to obtain Berlin Web addresses—which will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis—will pay €50 (about $70) each per year. ICANN expanded the number of available generic top-level domains—including those for cities—in 2011 to accommodate the Web's expansion. The German cities of Hamburg and Cologne are reportedly planning to have their own domains, as are other large cities worldwide, including London, New York City, Paris, and Rome. (PhysOrg)(BBC)
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has approved and released a list of 27 new Top Level Domain names. All of these are reportedly non-English domain names, which are primarily Chinese and Arabic language domain names. At least one of these is designated for regional telcos. ICANN says it will be releasing 30 Initial Evaluations per week and will eventually release 100 per week. It expects to have all these published by the end of August 2013. (SlashDot)(V3.co.uk)(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - 1)(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers – 2)
Go Daddy, a large Internet domain registrar and Web hosting firm, announced it has withdrawn its applications for two new generic top-level domains that the company would control to focus on providing services to its registry partners. The company had applied to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to for the domains .home and .casa. By not administering new domains, Go Daddy says it will be better able to focus on its registry and hosting customers, stated Richard Merdinger, Go Daddy's vice president for domain-registration services. The company is continuing its application for the domain .godaddy, which it plans to use for its products. (datacentre.me)(Arizona Central)(The Web Host Industry Review)

Wealth Management
The world wealth after seeing a sharp decline of around 40% from the peak value of around $95 trillion in 2007, is witnessing strong recovery as world emerge out of the global financial crisis. The HNIs are now averse to the product push strategy, and want to compensate their bankers only on the quality of advisory provided. This fee based model also suits the financial services firms as it provides a continuous revenue stream. The market has become very competitive as firms across the landscape, either have or plan to launch, a dedicated Wealth Management arm. Even though Asia will be high growth region and attract firms with expansion plans, Europe and US due to its huge wealth base will be the most hotly contested markets.
There would be two distinct models for wealth managers:
1. First one will be the platform based delivery, where the advisors and clients would collaborate to identify the best suited products as per the financial plan. The platform providers will need to employ sophisticated technologies to cater to scale and expected functionalities.
2. In the second model the unique needs of customers will include philanthropy, trusts, investments in real estate, wine and arts. Here the systems should be capable to handle these transactions and provide full investment life cycle support. Also by outsourcing the middle office and back office operations, the firms not only get the best in class service, the also become more agile by reducing a large chunk of their fixed costs.
Apart from the advisory models, the firms will be making huge investments in CRM and reporting tools to better understand and retain clients. Managing risk for the customers and positive action to handle risks along with its accompanying collaboration and workflow aspects will be very important. And finally, the consolidation through M&A would result in huge spending in IT and operations integration.
HCL Domain Expertise

Sheryl Crow Promises Next Album To Be "Old Fashioned" Country
Of course, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Sheryl Crow[/lastfm] has become well known as a mainstream rocker, but her heart and roots belong with country.
Crow grew up close to the Tennessee border and has always loved listening to [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Loretta Lynn[/lastfm] and the[lastfm link_type="artist_info"] Carter family[/lastfm]. She says this time around for her upcoming album, she wants to reflect her passion for that music and her country roots. She wants this album to be more old-fashioned country than the new country that is out now. At the moment, she working on the album and even disclosed she's been working with Brad Paisley and hopes the album to be out early next year. Even though, she says she wants to make her music more country she still say that her past hits have been influenced by country and you can even hear it in songs such as "If It Makes You Happy" and "Hard To Make A Stand". [pullquote quote="there's a lot of country influence in there already, but there's just no pedal steel and no fiddle.""]

Would you recommend this product to a friend? no
I thought this was going to be a great tool, but it was just like the ones you buy in the local stores but $15 more. It had a pretty grey finish on it and a black bag to put it in, but honestly that was all that made it better than my cvs $7 one. I would save your money for their other tools, which are worth the extra $$

Would you recommend this product to a friend? yes
I really love this product. I have had it for a year now and the rubber does not even have a crease in it yet. It curls your eyelashes without hurting your eyes and your eyelashes stay curled for the whole day! It is a little more expensive than the cvs brands but it is worth the money because of how long it lasts and how effective the curler is.

Lovely eyelash curler! It works perfect ! Would love if Bobbi came out with a small one just for extra precision :)
By: FoxInSox
I had all but sworn off eyelash curlers, as my previous experiences with them ended with pinched skin or eyelashes that looked bent. But, this curler from Bobbi Brown is great! No pinching or crimping, and it forms a nice, natural curl, which holds all day.I've only had mine for a couple of weeks, but I already love it. The pads are soft and cushiony. Plus, you get a replacement pad with the curler.I contemplated giving this four stars instead of five because I think the price is a bit steep, even for the level of quality. But considering it has changed my mind toward eyelash curlers, I would recommend it to anyone and am going with five stars.
By: Setterpal
Location: Bedford, NY
I am sorry to say that this eyelash curler was a genuine disappointment. Definitely not up to the usually excellent Bobbi Brown products. It looks nice, however, since both the curler and rubber pad are black, you cannot see your eyelashes when using the curler. The rubber pad is also too thin. It did not give a good curl. I'll be sticking with my Tweezerman curler, which is silver with a pale blue thick rubber pad and gives my lashes a great natural curl.

Silverfish can can cause serious damage for homeowners who have a large infestation. They can destroy clothes, wall paper, books, paper, and most commonly: food. Since they are a nocturnal most people never see them. When they do, it is typically when the silverfish is in the tub and unable to escape (see Silverfish Control, Prevention, & Facts).
If you have a silverfish infestation, you will need professional Atlanta silverfish extermination.

Officials fight to keep Social Security office in Rome open, but say battle not over yet
ROME, N.Y. (WKTV) - United States Senator Charles Schumer and Congressman Richard Hanna have made some progress on an issue in Rome, but they're not satisfied just yet. The Democratic Senator and the Republican Congressman have put aside their bi-partisan ways to help try to keep Rome's social security office open. "They worked hard, fought wars, raised families. And now to say in their golden years, 'we're taking this away from you,' particularly when it's harder and harder to find a body in the government these days? It's just unfair and unwise," Senator Schumer said at a press conference outside Rome City Hall on Monday. The senator went on about the possibility of closing the Social Security office in Rome, saying, "it serves 22,000 residents in Oneida County, many of whom are disabled or very elderly. The office is also known as one of the best offices in the country." So, why is the location in danger of closing? Senator Schumer and Congressman Hanna say that the Social Security Administration is facing a large deficit and are cutting where they feel necessary. "We have a lot of seniors," said Eleanor Servicki, a staff member at the South Rome Senior Center. "We have a lot of seniors. And I know they're not driving. They're handicapped or with walkers and canes." Senator Schumer and Congressman Hanna, along with other state and local representatives have lobbied to keep the Rome office open. The push has worked so far, but the office will now only be open one day per week for the next three months. After that, the doors could close. "We think that one day of a week for three months isn't going to cut it," Senator Schumer said. "It means they're going to decide the fate of this facility based on visits on at most 14 random days." Congressman Richard Hanna, echoed Senator Schumer's sentiments by saying, "I think whether or not we're going to keep it here longer or forever, is in part, in the community's responsibility. So, let's show the administration we're grateful. Let's show them that we need them, we're going to use them, we're going to show up." The dates that the office will be open have not yet been scheduled. Officials are urging the community to visit the now rent- free office in city hall, and to visit often to show how important the office is to the community.

Egypt's key portfolios of defence, interior, foreign, finance and justice were unchanged in a cabinet reshuffle, state television confirmed.
The list of new ministers that was presented on Tuesday included changing the veteran oil minister, as well as introducing politicians who had been opposed to the rule of Hosni Mubarak, who stepped down from office after widespread protests.
Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, who leads the ruling military council and has been defence minister for about 20 years, took the new ministers' oaths of office.
But the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's biggest opposition group, said the new cabinet showed that Mubarak's "cronies" still controlled the country's politics.
"This new cabinet is an illusion," Essam el-Erian, a senior Brotherhood member, said. "It pretends it includes real opposition but in reality this new government puts Egypt under the tutelage of the West."
"The main defence, justice, interior and foreign ministries remain unchanged, signalling Egypt's politics remain in the hands of Mubarak and his cronies," el-Erian said.
Mubarak reshuffled his cabinet shortly after protests erupted on January 25 in a bid to assuage anger against his 30-year rule, but rage continued to build until his ouster on February 11.
The Brotherhood and youth protesters had demanded that all Mubarak's ministers must be changed in the new government sworn in ahead of parliamentary and presidential elections.
The latest reshuffle brought into the cabinet a few opposition figures including Yehia el-Gamal, deputy prime minister, the Wafd party's Mounir Abdel Nour as tourism minister, and Tagammu party's Gowdat Abdel-Khaleq as minister of social solidarity and social justice.
Both Wafd and Tagammu had often been close to Mubarak's government.
The Centre for Trade Unions and Workers Services (CTUWS) said the government's appointment of Ismail Ibrahim Fahmy as new labour minister showed it continued to "co-opt formal labour unions and the labour ministry", it said in a statement.
Fahmy was the treasurer of the General Union for Workers' Syndicates in Egypt.
"We warn of the dire consequences of defying the will of the workers and their legitimate right to enjoy union rights," CTUWS said.
Egyptian online democracy activists called for a demonstration on Tuesday to demand the removal of the country's interim government, saying it contains too many old faces.
"The call for the million-man march on Friday would show people's anger and frustration," the Brotherhood's el-Erian said.
