Despite grumbling, budget deal gains backing
WASHINGTON — A newly minted budget deal to avert future government shutdowns gained important ground Wednesday among House Republicans who are more accustomed to brinkmanship than compromise, even though it would nudge federal deficits higher three years in a row.
There was grumbling from opposite ends of the political spectrum — conservatives complaining about spending levels and liberal Democrats unhappy there would be no extension of an expiring program of benefits for the long-term unemployed.

Answer #1PARTS GUY March 17, 2012, 18:15Master
What are the trouble codes and what is the symptons. There's know EGR temp Sensor.
ReplyHey21, March 18, 2012, 06:07Rookie
Code 0302 or 0320 I don't remember, Symptoms:Check Engine Light may illuminate, Engine "pinging" on acceleration,Emissions failure
ReplyPARTS GUY, March 18, 2012, 07:01Master
The P0302 is a misfire on cylinder number 2.
Possible Causes
•Base engine problem that affects only Cylinder 2 (e.g., low compression)
•Check for air leaks in the Air Induction system (e.g., in the intake manifold)
•Check for air leaks in the EGR system and in its related hoses and/or valve
•Check for air leaks in the PCV system and in its related hoses and/or valve
•Fuel delivery component fault that affects only Cylinder 2 (i.e., a contaminated, dirty or sticking fuel injector)
•HO2S or AFS has failed (it may be contaminated with fuel, silicone or water)
•Ignition system problem (coil or plug) that affects Cylinder 2
As to the P0320 that is not a valid code. There is a P0327 and P0328. It is related to a possible knock sensor problem.
ReplyHey21, March 18, 2012, 08:48Rookie
Thanks so so so munch. after all the Cylinder 2 was damage we replaced it and now the car is working fine. Now I have to return the EGR Temperature Sensor. Thanks so so so so munch PARTS GUY!~!!!

Thank you for your submission to E-Learn 2014--World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Healthcare, and Higher Education to be held in New Orleans, LA, United States, October 27-30, 2014. We are pleased to inform you that the Program Committee of E-Learn 2014, after rigorous peer review, has decided to ACCEPT your submission for presentation.
It is always good news to get something accepted at an international academic conference. I have some editing to do to revise the paper, but overall the comments of the reviewers was good. Unfortunatly, when I submitted this document for review, I accedently submitted an earlier draft instead of the final draft. After contacting the editors and making the corrections, it seems the wrong version still got reviewed an accepted. As I refine the paper for October, it will be a very interesting presentation. Here is the current abstract of the paper:
Mobile learning management systems: Is ubiquitous access to instructional content enough?
The growth in Internet usage has coincided with the significant growth of access to cellular phone networks. The preferred technology just five short years ago, the personal computer, is being replace with a new, highly mobile device; the smartphone. The purpose of this study was to determine if simply providing ubiquitous access to instructional content via a mobile learning management system app would enhance student learning. Using a random prettest/posttest control group design, participants in the treatment were given apps that mimicked the College's learning management system. The control received a placebo app that was constructed for a mobile learner's context. The results showed that the treatment group's mean score (M = 17.740, sd = 3.910) was significantly lower than that of the control (M = 20.093, sd = 2.935). During the duration of the study, the students in the treatment group used their app for a period of 120.27 hours with a mean time per user being 4.40 hours. In contrast, the control group used their apps for a period of 99.18 hours with a mean time per user being 3.3 hours during the study. There was no evidence to support the conclusion simply providing access to content via a Mobile LMS app correlates to more learning.
Over the past month I have spent a lot of time working on a new mobile app for children. Unfortunately, this has not left me with much blogging time. This new app is working on environmental sounds and trying to help children associate sounds to imagery. What is making this app difficult is that I am trying to design it for a child who cannot read. So, it will require audio instructions throughout the entire app. That is a new concept from a human-computer interaction design aspect for me. I hope to have a prototype completed by the end of next week. Till then, I will keep monitoring the boards and Facebook for issues concerning CIs.
A few weeks back a number of trade magazines had the following type of headline, "Some Kids With Cochlear Implants Face Cognitive Risks." [1] That headline is an attention grabber; it conjures up in the mind a correlation between cochlear implantation and cognitive risks. This article cites research coming out of Indiana University looking at 73 children implanted before the age of seven in comparison to 78 children with normal hearing. They report that "Delays in executive functioning have been commonly reported by parents and others who work with children with cochlear implants." [1] In the article, they go on to state that
"In this study, about one third to one half of children with cochlear implants were found to be at risk for delays in areas of parent-rated executive functioning, such as concept formation, memory, controlled attention, and planning," he said. "This rate was two to five times greater than that seen in normal-hearing children."
This information was widely reported on multiple CI parents' websites and the reaction was strong. Many felt the study had no validity because it did not compare CI children to deaf non-implanted children. Still others, I believe, correctly defined the issue. The problem was not the study, it was the headline used by the authors. After reading the headline, article and reviewing the poster presentation for the study, the news article without a doubt puts forward a false correlation, one the researchers did not present in their poster. I guess that should not be a surprise, sensationalism in journalism, but I also think there is a fundamental misunderstanding about children with cochlear implants and their learning curve. To illustrate, lets explore the idea of executive functioning.
What is Executive Functioning? Executive functioning is the application and synthesis of acquired information. In education we like to call it higher order thinking or crucial thinking. Here is a commonly accepted taxonomy for learning called Bloom's revised taxonomy. If you look at the graph, you will see the various levels of cognition as defined by Bloom. What we call lower-order thinking are simply memorization and understanding a concept. As you progress up the taxonomical triangle, you see that you move from simply acquiring information to applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating with that information.
Executive function would exist at the upper parts of the triangle. It's a learned activity. Students need to be explicitly taught to use these skills. Most speech therapy focuses on sound and the acquisition of words, but in many cases do not give the student the opportunity to apply that information in real and meaningful ways. Much of what I have observed through my own son's speech therapy is behavioral in nature and exists at a lower taxonomical level. At first this is completely necessary. A child with a CI needs to learn how to identify sound. Their brains need a period where they can start to integrate the auditory sense. But, at some unknown point, their brains understand how to use sound, but in many cases we just keep feeding in lower order information.
What is suspect in this study and many is the idea of the control group and how we as educators go about helping children with CIs. Maybe the reason we continue to find issues with the development of CI children is because our measure and approaches to their education are all wrong. As researchers and educators, we are trained to look at a norm, see a deviation, develop a plan to address that deviation and then compare to the norm to see how the intervention worked. This concept of basic scientific method works as long as the norm you look at is the correct norm. Our math can be completely right, the method sound, the treatment and control group intact, and the conclusion can be all wrong.
Comparing CI children to normal hearing children would seem to be a very good methodology, but it is not. CI children have too many factors different from normal hearing children to ever truly meet their milestones in the compressed time one learns spoken language. The mainstreaming goal is to fast pace a CI student so they can catch up, but the problem with this approach, learning does not happen that way. We learn langue over a long period of time through a recursive process of informed trial and error. During that period a child constructs their own understanding of language through years of exploration, correction, reflection and resolution of ideas and concepts. Understanding words and sounds is a lower order thinking process, but putting together meaningful language requires us to adapt and synthesis language through meaningful social experiences. We do not learn higher order thinking from approaches that ask us to simply identify and memorize.
Finally, maybe it is time for CI researchers to identify a new control group, high performing CI children that were implanted at age one or less. Throughout the literature I continue to see studies that compare CI subjects that have a wide variation in implantation date. For instance a 2011 study that came to the same results about executive functioning risks, looked at children that had been implanted before the age of seven, but the mean implantation age was 33.7 months. So on average, for this study, the average child was functionally deaf for the first three years of their life. Then at age three, they are implanted and introduced to sound. Then over a period of time they are measured for executive functioning and we find a deficiency. That does not seem to me to be a sound method in that we know from the literature factors such as socio-economic status and age of implantation can have significant influence on results. Throughout the literature we see children implanted at a very young age performing high on most scales. We need to recognize that CI children have different developmental experiences and patterns. Those patterns need to be identified and applied to subsequent generations of research as the control.Source: http://psychcentral.com/news/2014/05/25/some-children-with-cochlear-implants-face-cognitive-risks/70335.html
It has been a busy couple of weeks. The week before and after the beginning of a semester is always a lively and active time. Getting new students ready for their journey can be a daunting task, but worth the efforts. The duties in my office has not allowed me much time for scholarship for this site, but as the normal summer cycle begins to take hold, there will be much more time for research and writing. I have used the past two weeks to really dive into the current round of information that has been from the current study. All in all, I have had 42 parents accept my invitation to participate in my research. I am really excited about what I am seeing in the results and I am coding the data furiously. I have converted my and my wife's personal journal about our experiences in the first year of Landon's life into an ethnographic timeline. It is amazing to see how the experiences we have resemble many of other parents during that first year. I am working hard on the manuscript a bit at a time and hope to have a first draft of it by the end of the summer. I am taking a week in July of personal time off from work to concentrate just on writing. More on that later…
You may have run into a this type of conversations in the past, "I am a visual learning while someone else says, "Well, I am an auditory learner." This idea of learning styles have been much debated in the educational literature for decades, but despite countless efforts to determine ways to enhance learning through styles, not much progress has been made. Much of what we know about learning comes from this idea of identifying the way a child learns best and then presenting content and material in that manner. If you look at this concept of auditory versus visual learning, there is no evidence to support the conclusion that learning styles exist. In 2009 a team of experts in the psychology of learning found that although many studies purport to find evidence of the existing of auditory or visual learners, most of those studies to not meet the criteria of basic scientific validity.
In the world of learning and education, many of us have known for a while that learning is not dictated by one dominate source of input. Learning occurs all the time with a multitude of stimuli processed by our brains. Language acquisition is a process of situated cognition. Putting children in situations that require them to understand the vocabulary and then apply that vocabulary in their diction will yield the best results. So what does this mean for our auditory versus visual aspects of language learning? It seems that it gives us an idea that the playing field is level. If one approaches the problem of learning language from either perspective, then there is a high likelihood that outcomes will be achieved regardless of the path. Understanding yours or your child's learning style may not give you the desired outcomes. It seems that what you put in, is what you get out in many cases.

When I woke up this morning, I began to think of the day's events. During breakfast, my wife introduced me to a post from one of the Facebook groups that we belong to about ASL. The post was from a user and it was recommending watching a video on ASL language. The video was by Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto entitled What the Eyes Reveal. The discussion that resulted between my wife and I was very interesting as we are wanting to introduce our family to ASL. She and I have some differeing viewpoints on the issue. Needless to say, the video sparked a health debate on the parents group about some assertions by Dr. Petitto. I decided to take some time at lunch today and watch the video, which I thought was very interesting and thought provoking. I could not resist posting my comments to Facebook. Here is what I wrote,
"I would not draw too many conclusion from the video. The speaker described many assumptions that I would characterize as easily dismissible. For instance, at one point the speaker lays out the assumption that language acquisition can only be accomplished via auditory stimulus. I would suggest that is an old way of looking at the issue. I think it would be more accurate to say that if your end goal of language for a child is spoken language, then auditory stimulus is the best route to accomplish that goal. Conversely, if the goal is a visual language, then visual language will more than likely be the best path. The human brain is wired from birth to be bimodal, we all hear and see as part of a typical state of human existence. The development of spoken, and the word spoken is really important here, is best done through auditory, not visual means. There is a lot of empirical evidence to support that assertion. That is not to say that deaf individuals cannot develop high levels of language.The idea that language equals patterns the brain is evolutionarily wired to detect seems to make sense to me. But, if one sense is deprived, the brain adapts and builds neural pathways to adjust for the lack of stimulus. The issue with the video is that it does not address essential questions of dominance. CI children who are first implanted are visually dominate. The absence of visual language stimuli during that period post implantation is meant to balance the equation. Even the presenter agreed that children must be taught to use their CIs. It is to allow time for their brains to learn to process this new form of stimulus. Once the brain has learned to process both auditory and visual stimuli equally, like most of us do from the womb, then introduction of visual language makes sense. I do not think anyone can tell you based on our current understanding at what point in development that happens post-implantation. Pre-lingual CI children have a different developmental patterns than that of a deaf child with sign language and a hearing child and those patterns are ill defined in the literature. I think that is a really important point. Additionally, another issue I have in the video is that the presenter blurs the lines between learning English and learning spoken English. Those are two different things entirely. The one subject they demonstrated in the video was non-verbal. Visual languages are not well equipped to develop spoken language. Just a personal commentary, the depriving of food part was ridiculous and silly and detracted from the arguments being presented by the scholar in the video."
I will take some time to look into the work for Dr. Petitto, she is an accomplished scholar. I wish Gallaudet would address is the idea of helping auditory parents with deaf children develop listening and speaking skills with implants as well as ASL skills. That maybe a step to far at this point, but I believe Dr. Petitto's research is leading use in that direction. It is one thing to speak of language acquisition, its another to talk about spoken language acquisition. I do not see how this line of inquiry address some central concerns of that auditory parents have for their deaf children. How do we effectively communicate with our children and make them part of our culture as well as Deaf culture. Here is the video, I invite you to watch Dr. Petitto's presentation and draw your own conclusions.
"The majority of early-implanted chidlren are able to produce speech that is intelligible to normal-listeners."
Long-Term Speech and Language Outcomes in Prelingually Deaf Children, Adolescents and Young Adults Who Received Cochlear Implants in Childhood Chad V. Ruffin, William G. Kronenberger, Bethany G. Colson, Shirley C. Henning, and David B. Pisoni
My name is Dr. Eric Seneca and I am the parent of a seven-year-old who was bilaterally implanted at age one. I am a researcher in Baton Rouge, Louisiana who is investigating the experiences of cochlear implant parents. With the permission of the group's moderators, I am inviting you to participate in a research study on parental perspectives on cochlear implants.
The study is entitled, A Cochlear Identity: A parental perspective on the pre-lingual implantation. The goal of this study is to determine what important factual information that helps a parent decide on implantation. This study has undergone official human subjects review protocols and presents no danger to those that choose to participate. No participants responses will be used without their permission and for those responses used in the research, they will be completely anonymous.
This study was derived from my own personal experience with this decision. Participation in this study will require answering 10 survey questions and following up emails if you are willing. I want to thank you in advance for your participation.
To participate in this study, please navigate to this URL: http://www.cvent.com/d/j4qxhv
Recently, as I have been writing and informing some of my readers about different issues for the cochlear implant community, I started adding the hashtags #GeauxTiger and #LionUp to my posts. Someone recently asked me why I have been adding these hashtags to scholarship posts. First, let me state I am the biggest LSU Tiger sports fan. Tiger Stadium on a Saturday night, Warren Morris in the bottom of the 9th; goosebumps. I love my SLU Lions, a new conference championship football program and Alumni field on a Friday night, but I think those catch phrases are meant to represent more than athletic excellent. They represent excellence in all aspects of life.
Both my institutions of higher education, LSU and SLU have prepared me to answer this calling to help parents with profoundly deaf children. I hope and try to do that to the best of my ability. Without the support and guidance of my family and my academic communities, I would not have the necessary skillset to develop mobile apps for HoH children or conduct research professional. So, as I conduct research and publish in these areas, I hope I am making those two academic communities proud. So when the Tigers score a touchdown on Saturday night scream Geaux Tigers. When the Lions come back to win after being down at half time, scream Lion Up! But, do not forget, when you accomplish something in life that those institutions prepared you for, exclaim with exuberance, #GeauxTigers or #LionUp because its just as important as a touchdown on Saturday night.
In 2008 I started my academic journey with the express purpose of learning as much as I could about deafness and learning with cochlear implants. My first major project or study was trying to teach Landon about music. My first blog post was, Get in iPod touch with sound, a description of how I used the first generation iPod touch, a Radio Shack Y connector, YouTube and the Hot Dog song expose Landon to music. I turned it on, handed him the iPod and let him listen to the sounds of music. Since then he has only grown in his love of everything musical. I found this video of him singing an NSYNC song during Christmas (see the video below). I hope to get more videos of Landon's vocabulary progress posted on a youTube channel.
We are now in year six of this auditory journey. He has come a long way from the child who could not recognize sounds to "feeling" the beat! Along with his love for music, he is finally starting to ask questions about his not hearing. Last night I asked him if he wanted to learn how to speak with his hands. At first he was puzzled by this concept. I had to explain to him that he was deaf, another concept he did not understand. To demonstrate to him what I mean by "deaf" and "speaking with hands", I started talking to him in a louder than normal voice. I told him to listen to me really closely. I was going to continue talking but disconnect his coils. Then I wanted him to listen as hard as he could to see what he heard. When I did this, he looked at me and said, "Does deaf mean I cannot hear without my ears?" I replaced his coils and confirmed his diagnosis. To that he said, "Oh, so I can learn to use magic hands to talk when my ears are not on?" Again, we told him yes, that would be the case. He became really excited and spent the next hour with Jennifer learning basic words in ASL.
To make sure he is not alone, we are going to make this a family project. His brothers and sister will begin basic ASL training this week. We will be posting pictures, stickies and everything else around the house for us to start identifying objects. Our entire family will be involved in learning a new language. Landon is really excited to learn to use magic hands and so are we…

The 10 finalists will be honored during an awards ceremony on March 27, 2012, at the Spring 2012 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. The finalists and winner also will be featured in the May/June issue of Channel Partners magazine.
"Once again, Channel Partners readers have chosen an outstanding line-up of Channel Executive of the Year finalists," said Khali Henderson, editor-in-chief of Channel Partners magazine, a publication of VIRGO Publishing. "Each one of these leaders is enthusiastic about and instrumental in driving their respective partners' success. We congratulate all of the finalists."
Long has worked in the indirect channel business for nearly a dozen years and has been with Cbeyond for one year. He came to the Company from GENBAND, where he led the partner program. "I have spent several years dedicated to the indirect channel," Long said. "When you work with industry leaders and emerging, cutting-edge organizations like Cbeyond, you develop a best-practices library that can be used in almost any situation. I have spent the last 12 years working with talented teams, and I am very passionate about the work I do."To determine the Channel Executive of the Year, Channel Partners solicited nominations from channel partners. To be eligible, a nominee must have been the top person in the company's channel operations — at the executive level of vice president or higher — at a communications vendor (network operator/service provider/manufacturer). Qualified channel partners then cast their ballots for Channel Executive of the Year based on nominees' leadership, longevity, innovation and contribution to the indirect channel.

main index
"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show."In many genres, we expect the story to be told from a specific Point of View, with a certain character role that is expected to be The Protagonist. Some writers like to mix it up and chose someone that does not have the central role in the story and tell the story from their perspective. This is the Supporting Protagonist: someone who would normally be a secondary character by conventions of the genre is the main character. When done correctly, this provides a Point of View other than what's typical. When done wrong, it could easily lead to the character becoming The Load. In many cases, this means choosing someone other than The Hero to be the protagonist. For instance, the story follows the Big Good as they watch The Hero on their adventure. In this case they are also the Supporting Leader. In another case the story could follow the Side Kick as they support the hero. The third case is Supporting Protagonist being The Hero, but not The Chosen One. It can also be that we follow this protagonist for much of the story, but the one who gets to resolve the in-story conflict is not him/her. In a mystery, it means choosing someone other than the detective. In a Romance Novel, it means choosing someone other than the female lead. In Historical Fiction, it means choosing someone other than the important historical figure. It's common in Japanese works with a supernatural touch (Light Novels, Fish out of Water scenarios, etc.) in order to have somebody to spout exposition to. In Real-Time Strategy games, this usually happens in conjunction with Non-Entity General. A sister trope to A Day in the Limelight, where just part of the story doesn't center around the expected protagonist, and First-Person Peripheral Narrator, in which the character is not the protagonist at all, but is the narrator of the story. Compare Deuteragonist and Hero of Another Story. Contrast with Hero Protagonist and Decoy Protagonist (the character who appears at first to be The Protagonist but is not).

Manchester United went missing when it mattered most
As bold as Roberto Mancini was starting in David Silva and Samir Nasri, Sir Alex Ferguson's message was clearly one of containment at the Etihad Stadium last night.
Clearly concerned with Yaya Toure's power and the prospect of Nasri and Silva getting between the lines, his expected two in midfield; Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes were supplemented by Ryan Giggs.
Ferguson admitted the decision to play Giggs, 38, and Scholes, 37, was that their experience of the big occasion far outweighed all the other individuals on the pitch. However immediately you feared City's more youthful and vibrant midfield would overwhelm them, and so it came to pass.
The other two surprise selections were Chris Smalling at right-back and Park Ji-Sung. Tellingly Park had not played for six weeks before last night, Smalling four.
First half
It was United on top in the early exchanges as they prevented City from gaining any fluidity from back to front as Silva and Nasri were hardly given time or space to turn. This was suiting Ferguson's plan perfectly.
United however were offering nothing to trouble Joe Hart, not registering a single shot on target in the first 45 minutes. Wayne Rooney lonely, and frustrated. Nani looked United's main creative outlet from midfield but often his distribution was awry, completing just 70 per cent of his passes.
But the main problem for United was Giggs and Park. In the case of the former when he had possession he was wasteful (making just 18 passes in the whole half). Park on the other hand quickly became a fading force and the pressing and harrying for which he is famous for disappeared as his fitness levels dropped.
It was not coincidence therefore that City seized control of the game; Zabaleta able to move forward from right-back producing the first shot on goal and making the second highest number of passes in the final third (13), after Nasri (18). There was little goalmouth action to speak of but when City scored, it was very much with the run of play.
Second half
Surprisingly Ferguson elected not to make any changes at half-time and United's shape stayed the same. Zabaleta, who enjoyed an excellent game, in part to Giggs' lack of protection for Patrice Evra was frequently bombing forward.
The flagging Park was eventually hauled off just before the hour for Danny Welbeck, a ragged Rooney dropping deeper. The change did however open the game up a little more for United.
This was when a desperately poor United side looked their best but as City retreated Ferguson's side had nothing to give. Rooney had an awful game, his passing poor and completely suffocated by Kompany. But the more attackers (Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young) Ferguson flung on the more disjointed they looked.
As meek as United were, Toure's energy was infectious. Several times he chased lost causes and the space his fitness allowed saw two late shooting opportunties. How Ferguson could have done with such a player.
Mancini was frustrated they didn't kill the game off but so bad were United it proved irrelevant.

I've been lead to believe that there's a pool going on as to which film is finally going to break me. For those who have put money down, I will admit that this one came very close.
This movie is fucking awful. And not the charming kind of awful that people should rally around. No, the kind of awful where someone like me (someone who revels in shit movies) has a hard time making it through the whole thing.
Now, there were a couple of horrible things that I enjoyed. First and foremost was the soundtrack. The "theme song" sounded like Butthole Surfers, so that's good. And the rest was done on one of those Casio keyboards everyone had in…
How could they have gone wrong with this?! A fun opening song that even at 6 mins still doesn't wear out its welcome. A jive talking tranquilivist doll with rapey tendencies and a piece of bacon for a tounge. But disappointingly it wasn't enough to save this movie from its excruciatingly frustrating pace that just brings on chronic fatigue.
I wasn't crazy about the movie, it started out okay but then became really repetitive, I mean, how much puppet/human sex can a viewer withstand?
I found renaissance man Chester Novell Turner the most enjoyable when it came to his music for Black Devil Doll from Hell. Like, as in, I'm pretty sure I kept watching it because I didn't want to stop listening to the music?
Chester Novell Turner: Art Brut provocateur. A correspondence course filmmaker with a penchant for confrontational low-fi aesthetics, Turner pitches Black Devil Doll From Hell somewhere between gonzo-sleazoid horror farce and absurdist psychosexual parable. It's a balls-out assault on good taste, a ribald Tale of Temptation where one woman's repressed primal desires (personified and/or unleashed by the rapacious devil doll, of course) rise to the surface and expose the inefficacy of Christian dogma. I'd draw comparisons to The Book of Genesis, if the "Good Book" ever featured a Rastafarian sex puppet luring the pious Christian flock down a self-destructive path of carnal desire (all while out-Kruegering Freddy Krueger with its gratuitous use of the word "bitch").
Turner's intuitive grasp of film…
"Wait a minute, Mama - you mean to tell me you were raped by a puppet?"
Tried to dig into the formals this time. Turner's sharper than you'd think - at least some kind of idiot savant, if not a genuine talent doing the best he can with inadequate shitass equipment. His zooms make me unreasonably happy.

October Horror Challenge 2014 Movie #46
To be fair, this is a terrible movie, but it kind of has to be seen. I can't even say at least it has heart because it's obsessed with vulgarity and monotony. Long stretches of absolutely nothing goes by so unless you get a voyeuristic kick out of watching someone do their house chores. Then you get 8 minute long stretches of almost hardcore doll-on-human action, all on glorious VHS lo-fi. It's...a thing, I guess.
It probably says a lot about my tolerance that I just think this is regular bad as opposed to ultra-bad. It's almost charming. Almost.
With a flagrant disregard for good taste and conventional film syntax, Turner's trash-horror diptych takes us places far removed from the likes of Blood Lake (1987), Crazy Fat Ethel II (1987), and other mercenary shelf-fillers from the VHS era. Beyond the chintzy Howdy Doody sex shows, breast-shaped coffee mugs, and vocoder-voiced zombie clowns lurks the lo-fi gurglings of an id unleashed, an unhinged (and unsupervised) creative vision breaking free of its glitchy VHS confines. Turner traffics in a vulgar and undisciplined cinema whose ungrammatical grasp of film language approaches a sort of gonzo experimentalism. Qualifiers like "good" and "bad" lose all meaning.

It drags itself in an abysmally slow pace, focusing more on showing nothing happening than any actual resemblance of plot. Of course it's fascinating and weird, but only at a few select times.
"It Always Comes Back To The Store: Desire and Capitalism in BLACK DEVIL DOLL FROM HELL"
[Representative screen grab: Oh, this one will work just fine.]
I wasn't crazy about the movie, it started out okay but then became really repetitive, I mean, how much puppet/human sex can a viewer withstand?
I found renaissance man Chester Novell Turner the most enjoyable when it came to his music for Black Devil Doll from Hell. Like, as in, I'm pretty sure I kept watching it because I didn't want to stop listening to the music?
Chester Turner's other movie, perhaps the better known one... I saw Black Devil Doll first, the movie that was based on this one. It was one of those grindhouse revival movies. More happened in that one, but it lacked the verite that only comes from pre-1990 movies. This movie isn't perfect, not by a long shot, but Chester really went for it, as much as he could. The dialogue is hilarious, the music (which is mostly the same music from Quadead Zone, I think) is perfect for the time period and the look. It's a shame we only have this deeply flawed video transfer, but it's sure better than nothing.
Watched these two at a screening from Austin Film Society with Chester Turner and Shirley Jones in attendance! Great Q and A.

Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. manufacturing production fell for a second month in November as the weakening economy curtailed demand for metals, wood and paper products.
Factory output fell 0.2 percent from the previous month, when it fell a revised 0.9 percent, the Office for National Statistics said today in London. The decline was in line with the median forecast of 22 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Overall industrial output, which includes mines, utilities and oil and gas, fell 0.6 percent as warm weather hit energy demand.
Manufacturers' prospects are worsening as the euro region edges toward a recession and an austerity drive at home erodes consumer confidence. The German economy contracted in the fourth quarter as the sovereign-debt crisis intensified and a slowdown is under way in China, undermining government hopes that exports and business investment will keep the U.K. economy growing.
"The overall impression is that manufacturers ended 2011 under serious pressure and face a difficult start to 2012," said Howard Archer, chief European economist at IHS Global Insight in London. "Domestic demand for manufactured goods is being pressurized by the serious squeeze on consumers' purchasing power and the euro zone crisis is causing major uncertainty for manufacturers and weighing down on confidence."
Out of 13 manufacturing categories, seven fell on the month and six rose, the statistics office said. The decline was led by metals and metal products, wood and paper goods and chemicals. The fall in industrial production was led by mining and quarrying, while electricity and gas generation was hit by unusually warm weather.
Factory output, which accounts for 10 percent of U.K. gross domestic product, fell 0.9 percent in the three months through November from the June-August period, the biggest decline since August 2009. Industrial production, equal to 15 percent of GDP, also fell 0.9 percent. In November, manufacturing fell 0.6 percent from a year earlier, the first annual decline since January 2010, and industrial production was down 3.1 percent.
"Manufacturing is on course for a fourth quarter contraction," said Philip Shaw, an economist at Investec Securities in London. "Whether the economy as a whole avoided a contraction depends critically on the service sector. There is a real risk that the fourth quarter gross domestic product figures will post a decline."
The British Chambers of Commerce said this week its measures of manufacturing export sales and orders fell to the lowest since 2009 in the fourth quarter. With banks planning to tighten lending terms, more stimulus from the Bank of England may not be enough to revive growth, the lobby group said.
The Bank of England will likely maintain the target for its asset purchases at 275 billion pounds ($426 billion) tomorrow as policy makers wait for new forecasts, a survey of economists shows.
Fenner Plc, the world's largest conveyor-belt maker, acknowledged yesterday there is "uncertainty over the global economic outlook" and said sales growth rates will slow.

Byon July 24, 2009
In a career littered with absurd moments, like tattooing his company's logo on the side of his head and getting banned from his own basketball team's practices and games, Stephon Marbury's last remaining connection to reality apparently snapped sometime around seven in the morning on Friday, when he set up a Web camera on his front porch and began a twenty-four-hour video podcast on UStream.com. That's an entire day of sitting there, looking at a web camera, and talking.
To call Marbury's adventure in live broadcasting "entertaining" is an understatement. It is not merely entertaining. It is horrifically entertaining. Watching him paddle into the digital abyss alone gives me the scary feeling I get when Robin Williams enters that super manic mode in his stand-up routines where you're not sure if he'll ever stop talking in silly voices, like there's droplets of mental illness in the spittle thrown off by every queeny lisp and sweaty, hairy gesture. Like there's a dark secret that no amount of attention can ever quite cover and wherever this moment was heading, it might not end well.
In the fifth hour of his telethon into madness, Marbury freestyle rapped, sang incoherent songs, did a rather terrible Li'l Wayne impersonation, discussed the relative "stremph" of various NBA players, showcased his new line of apparel, discussed Larry Brown's communication style, advised the audience to "stop playing," and then the sound cut out. In silence, he mugged for the cameras, took a phone call, and then smiled brightly as the camera came back on, actively savoring this moment: "Weback anmovin? Weback anmovin! Twenty-four hours! We didn't go nowhere! We didn't move. We ain't movin'."
Note: As of press time, Stephon Marbury's live stream was experiencing technical difficulties and may or may not be back and moving.

Grief can be healthy—but it changes your brain, too. These steps ensure a strong recovery
Recently, my 58-year-old younger brother, a fit-and-sturdy Marine combat veteran, was diagnosed with lung cancer and died. Two weeks later, after an almost entirely disease-free life, I had to undergo eye surgery for cataracts. Since then, I've been thinking a lot about the inevitable setbacks we all encounter and how our brains deal with them.
Researchers completed an intriguing study last year that illustrates just how profound and widespread the effect of negative personal events can be and how your brain reacts to grief. Three finance professors from major business schools tracked the performance of 75,000 Danish companies in the 2 years before and after the CEO had experienced a family death. Financial performance declined 20% after the loss of a child, 15% after the death of a spouse, and almost 10% after the demise of any other family member.
Indeed, when brain imaging studies are done on people who are grieving, increased activity is seen along a broad network of neurons. These link areas associated not only with mood but also with memory, perception, conceptualization, and even the regulation of the heart, the digestive system, and other organs. This shows the pervasive impact loss or even disappointment can have. And the more we dwell on negative thoughts, the more developed these neural pathways become. The result can be chronic preoccupation, sadness, or even depression.
So how can we learn to deal with loss, disappointment, and everyday setbacks more constructively? Keep in mind these coping strategies for grief, which are working for me:
Finally, keep in mind that during these emotionally vulnerable times, we all create illusions. We focus almost exclusively on how wonderful those who've disappeared from our lives made us feel, and we convince ourselves that no one could ever affect us like that again. I miss my brother, no doubt about it. I know that I can't avoid illness and death in my life, but I can choose how to deal with them. I'm lucky to have known my brother for 58 years, but I'm not going to dwell on the thought that our time together could have been longer.
Find out how sadness can make you healthier.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas House has approved a bill that would strengthen protections for parents who leave their newborn children at safe havens such as hospitals, fire stations or city and county health facilities.
The bill approved Wednesday by the House was proposed partly in response to a Wichita case where a mother who abandoned her child at a hospital was publicly identified by police.
The current law allows parents to leave a baby less than 45 days old in a ``safe haven'' without being prosecuted. The child becomes a ward of the state.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1bOn5yN ) the new law would help parents who leave their children to remain anonymous.
It would also allow the safe havens to keep parents' identity confidential, except when child abuse is suspected.

Penn-Trafford board approves administrator's move to superintendent as it accepts Butler's resignation
One of Penn-Trafford's top administrators was elevated to interim superintendent this week after school directors approved Superintendent Thomas Butler's resignation.
On Butler's final day, Aug. 5, Assistant Superintendent Matthew Harris will move into the interim role until Feb. 3.
School directors approved the two moves unanimously during their regular meeting.
"Doc, I wish you all the luck in the world," said Director Nick Petrucci in making a motion to accept Butler's resignation.
After two years with the district, Butler is set to become executive director of Appalachia Intermediate Unit 8, based in Blair County.
Butler came to Penn-Trafford from Ridgway Area School District in Elk County.
"We went on a big search a couple years ago and pulled, what I believe, was an ace out of our hats," Petrucci said.
Butler is earning $135,200 a year at Penn-Trafford. Directors praised his insight and implementation of new programs into classrooms.
"The two years he's been here, I think, have been a phenomenal opportunity for Penn-Trafford," said director Bruce Newell.
With a high school renovation project in the works, directors hope choosing Harris as Butler's interim replacement will help maintain continuity.
"(Butler) started a lot of great programs here, and I'm really optimistic in that we will continue down the same path that he has started us down," said director Toni Ising.
Harris praised the district's administration team and said he's looking forward to getting started in his new position. Harris' contract was renewed for five years in February and he earns $119,927 annually, said business manager Brett Lago. Directors can vote year-to-year on any salary changes as part of the contract. Harris' pay did not change, Lago said.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Harris said after his appointment. "I'm really going to miss Dr. Butler."
Harris, 42, of Penn Township, joined the district in 2007 as the assistant principal for Level Green and Harrison Park elementary schools after working as the principal of St. Sebastian Catholic School in North Belle Vernon.

Informatica Reports Quarterly Revenues Of $234.7 Million And Record Annual Revenues Of $811.6 Million
Informatica believes the disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures is appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of its financial performance, its financial and operational decision making, and as a means to evaluate period to period comparisons. These adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of Informatica's performance, by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as non-cash charges and discrete charges that are infrequent in nature, such as charges related to acquisitions that may not be indicative of its underlying operating results. In addition, Informatica believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Informatica believes that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and comparability of its recent financial results with its historical financial results, as well as to the operating results of similar companies in Informatica's industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. As an example, Informatica believes that it enhances comparability with similar companies' operating results by excluding stock compensation in its non-GAAP financial measures because of the different types of stock-based awards that companies may grant and because ASC 718 ("Stock Compensation") allows companies to use different valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions. In addition, Informatica believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, analyzing and forecasting future periods. There are a number of limitations related to these non-GAAP financial measures: (1) the non-GAAP measures exclude some costs that are recurring, particularly stock compensation, and we believe that stock compensation will continue to be a significant recurring expense for the foreseeable future; because stock compensation is an important part of our employees' compensation, such payments can impact their performance; and (2) the items we exclude in our non-GAAP measures may differ from the components our peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP measures. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP measures and evaluating non-GAAP measures together with the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
