Four Republican gubernatorial candidates squared off Thursday night at the Stand Up and Vote Candidates Forum.
But only one Democrat showed up for the event.
Democratic candidates Bev Purdue and Richard Moore were no-shows at the event, despite being invited, forum host Curtis Wright said.
Col. Dennis Nielsen, the lone Democrat, took the stage alone to answer questions from the debate panel and from audience members.
Nielsen tackled several topics, including immigration, education and government corruption.
The Republicans had a more lively debate.
SHALLOTTE—Saturday morning, Bill Negron stood at the front of the fellowship hall at Camp United Methodist Church and announced volunteers would pass an offering plate.
It wasn't a usual occurrence for residents attending this devotional session that precedes the weekly food pantry distribution, but Negron said an offering will be an integral part of the newly launched Cornerstone Ministry, a nonprofit aimed at aiding the food pantry and its recipients.
Republican and Democratic candidates for governor will square off April 17 at the "2008 North Carolina Governor's Stand Up and Vote Candidates Forum."
The forum takes place at the Schwartz Center on the campus of Cape Fear Community College, Wilmington.
The event kicks off at 5 p.m. with a "meet and greet" reception, with the candidate forum beginning at 6 p.m.
Republican candidates have from 6-7:30 p.m. to answer questions, and a second segment for Democratic candidates is slated for 7:30-9 p.m.
The Brunswick Housing Coalition will host a regional workshop to introduce the concept of inclusionary zoning to the community from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday, April 22, at Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation, 795 Ocean Hwy. (U.S. 17 S.) in Supply.
Anita Brown-Graham, director of the Institute for Emerging Issues at North Carolina State University, will be the presenter for the workshop.
All persons interested in workforce/affordable housing are urged to attend. There is no charge for the workshop. Donations of office supplies are welcome.
George Page has resigned as Brunswick County Parks and Recreation director after 11 years. He will take a job in the private sector and leaves behind a long list of accomplishments.
Page's last day was Tuesday, and he said this week he is proud of what he and his staff accomplished in the last 11 years, especially bringing a Special Olympics program to the county, expanding the county's parks and obtaining grant funding for three new parks.
Page said it was difficult to leave, but he was offered a job he couldn't pass up.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—The seven college students who died in an Ocean Isle Beach house fire will be remembered with a memorial erected in their honor.
A steel cross and a granite plaque will be placed at the base of the Odell Williamson Bridge in front of the Ocean Isle Beach Fire Department.
A memorial service for the victims' families is set for 3 p.m. May 16. Town administrator Daisy Ivey said letters inviting the parents and families were mailed last week.
The Shallotte Farmers' Market will open at 8 a.m. Saturday, April 19, at a new location—the Shallotte Town Hall parking lot. It will stay open until noon.
This is the first year the Downtown Shallotte Committee decided to expand the market's season into spring, according to Chairman Walt Eccard.
Opening day will include the following vendors:
•Michael Hubbard, Bolivia: Palm trees and vegetables.
•Eileen Brown and Carol Gentile, Shallotte: Aprons, bags, jewelry, dog scarves.
•Willie Richardson, Ash: Fresh vegetables.
A group of Shallotte Point residents have traveled to Raleigh to speak against the state's annexation laws. They appeared before the House of Representatives Select Committee charged with recommending changes to the law.
Ronald Hobbs, president of the Shallotte Point Preservation Group, said 90 people spoke against the current law, which has been in effect since 1959. Seventeen spoke in favor of involuntary annexation.
SUNSET BEACH—Residents say something needs to be done about fireworks, especially on the island.
But town officials say the state preempts any local rules governing the issue.
The remarks followed a discussion at the April 7 town council meeting in which town attorney Michael Isenberg said the town does not have an ordinance prohibiting fireworks "because the state preempted us."
If someone violates the fireworks rule, "they'll be charged with a misdemeanor," Isenberg said.
Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Erik Watson, a Wenonah, N.J., native, was awarded the Coast Guard Meritorious Service Medal on Wednesday, April 11, for his actions in saving two elderly swimmers from drowning on June 14, 2007.
He is the son of Hal and Kat Watson of Sunset Beach.

The Jonah M Kessel 'Specifically Socotra' series is a stunning collection of photos of a place that does not appear to be of this Earth.
Shot on a small, sparsely populated island off the coast of Africa, the photos display a land full of mushroom-like trees, rocky peaks and valleys, white sand deserts and blue-green ocean shores.
Bizarre Dragon Blood and Bottle Trees litter the barely inhabited landscape that is barren and desolate but also lush and alive. The geography of the island varies to such a degree that some of the photos look like they are a part of a Dr. Seuss novel, while others appear as though they were taken on a different planet.
The Jonah Kessel photo series documents a place unlike that seen except in imagination. The beautiful island perhaps maintains much of its luster from appearing to be untouched by humans, despite having a small population that calls Socotra home.

Well, there's always the Hollywood Board of Commissioners' twice-a-month meetings. The drama here isn't canned or airbrushed or predictable. It has the feel of real life, like a dysfunctional family gathered around the Thanksgiving table, with Hollywood's own Little Napoleon, Mayor Mara Giulianti, brandishing the carving knife over the Hollywood turkey.
At last week's meeting, the family bonds were being tested by media scrutiny of the commissioners' generosity to developers. People like Cynthia Berman-Miller and Steve Berman are hungry to build condominiums in Hollywood, it seems, as long as they get millions in incentives from the city.
As executive director of Hollywood's Community Redevelopment Association, Neil Fritz is the naughty boy who squandered his allowance. Or at least that's how the commission's grandmother, Cathleen Anderson, made it appear. She unleashed a high-pitched, non sequitur-filled diatribe that made the audience bust out in giggles.
Fritz, however, broke the rules by not keeping a poker face during his spanking.
"Are you laughing?" Anderson asked, sounding a little like Joe Pesci in Good Fellas. Stammering and blushing, Fritz tried to explain that the city was in much more robust financial shape than Anderson knew. But Grandma had him on the ropes. She raised her voice another octave.
"You need some money, because you're bankrupt!" she raged. "Sara Case is right about that." (Case edits the Hollywood blog balancesheetonline.com, which recently claimed the CRA was operating on fumes.)
Mama Giulianti twitched, glancing nervously at Tailpipe and some reporters sitting in the back of the room.
Enter attorney Rod Feiner, smoother than cooking oil in an expensive suit. He welcomed the commissioners back from vacation, tactfully avoiding any mention of the incentive package his developer clients are supposed to receive for putting up a 326-unit high rise next to the Hollywood Beach Golf & Country Club. Feiner wanted to talk about zoning.
But the family elders, Anderson and Uncle Sal (Commissioner Sal Oliveri) were feeling cantankerous. They wanted to know, damn it: What do the developers of the 14-story Golfview expect from the city in the way of incentives?
Well, that would be $8.31 million, Feiner said delicately, careful to note that it was part of the agreement that commissioners "passed unanimously" he used this phrase several times two years before. Unanimous? Uh, yes, meaning that Oliveri and Anderson had already voted for it.
"I have never been given $8 million as a figure," Oliveri huffed. "I will not approve $8 million in incentives."
This finally shattered Mom's patience. "Well, unfortunately you already have, Sal!" Giulianti said shrilly.
"Well, I made a mistake," Oliveri said. "I'm a human being."
With a subtle word, Mom Mara reminded everyone that going back on promises made earlier to lawyer-loving developers would land the city in a mess of big fat lawsuits.
Looking embarrassed, Oliveri crossed his arms and backed away from his microphone.
Finally, Giulianti marshaled the kids mama's boy Keith Wasserstrom, goody two-shoes Beam Furr, would-be rebel Peter Bober to have the Golfview tract zoned for condos. Anderson and Oliveri voted against it, but great-aunt Frances Russo joined the majority.
Thank you, Lord. Now, Mama, give the Golfview gang a slice of breast meat.
Fire Her Up
A lady friend let the 'Pipe in on a bizarre Internet encounter she had recently. And this auto part has had a hard time stomaching anything since.
Tailpipe's lady pal had run across a guy who identified himself only as Jake4Dinner. He claimed to be searching cyberspace for a woman, preferably a busty dominatrix-type, to put him on a spit and roast him alive. While she was not interested in the least, the 'Pipe's friend did find something intriguing about the proposition.
She looked up Jake4Dinner's profile and discovered that he was involved in a hobby called "Dolcett." This referred to a secretive Toronto artist known for drawing comic strips depicting bondage, torture, impalement, and cannibalism. His specialty is drawing luscious young babes impaled on barbecue spits. Ugh.
The 'Pipe's friend also found that the twisted hobby has fostered an online community with its own government. Citizens of Dolcett, California, post short stories they write about women getting eaten by surprise and eaten by choice. It's a surprisingly folksy crowd.
"Welcome to Dolcett CA and pull up a lawn chair," greeted a Dolcett City Council member when she paid the place a visit. "You're next up on the Fundraiser BBQ. You want Carolina Honey or Spicy Japaleno on that Florida tan of yers?"
Through Dolcett a fantasy town that is reportedly frequented by serial killers she befriended a culinary cannibal, Krbass301. The self-described 21-year-old "punk freak" says he grew up in South Florida and claims to attend the Florida Culinary Institute in West Palm Beach. He's serious about becoming a head chef and is currently looking for a job at a place like Red Lobster, because he finds seafood so, uh, interesting to cook. In class, Krbass301 often finds himself fantasizing about "cooking little things like you... in a brown demiglaze wine sauce."

Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:KNDI)
I can remember another company that sold motorcycles, ATV's and the like and when they came out with automobiles the industry gigled as to how silly. Now that same company is on top of the automotive world.
The big advantage Kindi Technologies has is many fold:
1) They are know by their domestic market customers (farmers) for low-cost vehicles that are useful in the rough terain in China and low cost.
2) China is the largest market in the world.
3) They don't have to ship-out their product in order to be profitable unlike their counterpart given their domestic market is huge.
4) They are keeping within their knowledge and expertise not experimenting unlike what other companies have done (and failed, e.g. E*Trade --> Banking/Mortage).
5) Consertative company with their eye focused on their customers.
6) Goverment and multi-industry support that is an intanagable that cannot be ignored in your calculations.
As an investor this company managed to pull-out a small profit last quarter and engage with goverment and industry support. They are on the cutting edge of technology that has always been hard to put a price on. Low book value and free cash flow make sense when that is all you have going for you to grow the company. You can also throw-out the the P/E ratio. This is from last quarter after riding out a recession in China and the world. This really has absolutly no meaning.
I agree with the one investor who is worried about the short run. I guess that is it - short run. You have to be a long investor for this stock. Day traders that shake the trees to loosen investor confidence doesn't work with the long investor. Myself, I am confident with what I have researched and have seen this (your) manuovor applied here and on other message boards and in the volitality of the stock price. When USA Today was first being put together the accounts for years prior to the launch kept telling Ted Turner that USA Today will just will not work. Ted Turner has proven time again that accounts have their place. And thier place is not necessarily having business savy. If you are long, this is one to keep in your books. If you are a day trader, do us a favor and stay off this message board and leave it for the real investors.
Good pitch. nice to see one that makes an effort to include some meat to it. Successful longs should be aware of spikes and temporary over valuation and what caused them as they dollar cost in over time and as they set stops and limits, but I agree they have to be willing to go for some "rides". Day traders will shake those lose on a low volume company. Good luck with your investment. Please make some more picks and share your DD! I'm sure a diversified investor has a few others? I agree the both pumpers and dumpers clutter some of the pitches on the boards. Seems to be more of both lately.

McMaster was rumored as a possible appointee to Jim DeMint's U.S. Senate seat. On December 17, 2012, Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Representative Tim Scott to fill DeMint's seat beginning in January 2013. McMaster ran for South Carolina Lieutenant Governor instead.[3][4][5][6][7]
McMaster was a Republican candidate for South Carolina Lieutenant Governor in the 2014 elections.[8] Henry McMaster won the general election on November 4, 2014.
- Bachelor's degree, University of South Carolina (1969)
- Juris Doctorate degree, University of South Carolina School of Law (1973)
- Completed the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (1974)
Professional experience
Prior to pursuing his education in law, McMaster joined the United States Army Reserves, receiving his honorable discharge in 1975. Upon receiving his law degree, he worked as a Legislative Assistant to United States Senator Strom Thurmond in Washington D.C. McMaster remained there until 1974 when he returned to the private sector in his home state and served as a partner in the law firm of Tompkins & McMaster. He was admitted to practice before the federal Court of Claims in 1974, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in 1975, and in 1978, upon motion of Senator Thurmond, the Supreme Court of the United States.
Upon recommendation from Senator Thurmond, McMaster was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to serve as United States Attorney for the District of South Carolina in 1981, the first United States Attorney in the country to be appointed by Reagan. During his four-year tenure, he directed Operation: Jackpot, the first investigation into international drug smuggling operations within the United States to use the financial team approach. This resulted in the conviction of over one-hundred drug kingpins for the importation of almost one billion dollars worth of illegal narcotics.
McMaster received the Republican nomination in 1986 in his campaign for the United States Senate; he was ultimately defeated by then-popular Democratic incumbent Senator Ernest F. "Fritz" Hollings. Four years later, he unsuccessfully ran for State Lieutenant Governor. In 1991, however, McMaster was nominated by then-Governor Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. to serve on the Commission on Higher Education; he was later confirmed by the South Carolina State Legislature.
Political career
South Carolina Attorney General (2002-2010)
McMaster was first elected to the position in 2002 and served until 2010.
Political Issues
Healthcare reform
In the wake of the historic passage of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform legislation on Christmas Eve in 2009, McMaster joined 13 other Republican Attorneys General in questioning not only the constitutionality of a specific controversial provision within the Senate version of the bill, but also exploring potential legal challenges to the measure as well. The attorneys general alleged that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid struck a deal with Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson to recruit him as the 60th vote needed to pass the measure, an arrangement "dubbed the "Nebraska Compromise" or the "Cornhusker Kickback" by GOP critics." The deal in question gives Nebraska exemption from its share of the Medicaid expansion, "a carve out that is expected to cost the federal government $100 million over 10 years."[9]
Nearly a week and a half later, Senator Nelson called upon McMaster to "call off the dogs"[9] and forgo any legal action until negotiations in Congress over the final health care bill had concluded.
The morning after the United States House of Representatives narrowly passed the Senate reconciliation bill, allowing the Affordable Care Act to more forward, McMaster announced that he would be joining with Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum in challenging the "unconstitutional" health care legislation on the grounds that "the measure violates state sovereignty because it requires all Americans have some form of health insurance."[10]
Other roles
- Board of Directors, South Carolina Policy Council (1991-2003)
- Member, Republican National Committee (1993-2002)
- Chair, South Carolina Republican Party (1993-2002)
- Member, Columbia Rotary Club
- Member, First Presbyterian Church in Columbia
- Member, Saint Andrews Society
McMaster ran for election to the office of South Carolina Lieutenant Governor. McMaster came first in the primary on June 10 and finished ahead of Mike Campbell in the runoff on June 24. The general election took place November 4, 2014.[8]

Race background
Resignation of Glenn McConnell
Former South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell was hired by the College of Charleston as president and left office in June 2014.[12] The current Senate President Pro Tempore, Republican state Sen. John Courson, would normally be next in line but he expressed a desire to stay in the Senate. As such, a Democratic state senator, John McGill, was temporarily elected president pro tempore so that he could become interim lieutenant governor.
If McGill had decided that he wanted to remain lieutenant governor after January 2014, he would have needed to run as an independent candidate since the filing deadlines and primaries for partisan passed prior to his elevation. The filing deadline for a prospective independent candidate was July 15 and McGill had given no indication that he intended to run for lieutenant governor by that deadline.
Senate speculation
McMaster was rumored as a possible appointee to Jim DeMint's U.S. Senate seat. On December 17, 2012, Gov. Nikki Haley appointed Representative Tim Scott to fill DeMint's seat beginning in January 2013.[13][14][15][16][17]

Race background
In the wake of controversy surrounding the admission of an extramarital affair by Governor Mark Sanford, the 2010 gubernatorial election, the first open one in South Carolina since 1994, has been hotly contested. McMaster officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination on August 24, 2009,[1] challenging Lieutenant Governor André Bauer, Congressman Gresham Barrett, State Senator Larry Grooms, and State Representative Nikki Haley in the run up to the June 8, 2010 primary election.
An internal poll conducted by Ayres, McHenry & Associates for Gresham Barrett's gubernatorial campaign in late-February 2009 showed McMaster slightly ahead of Barrett with 22 percent of the vote, but behind Bauer who garnered 25% of the survey responses; 32% of those interviewed, however, remained uncommitted to any particular Republican candidate at the time.[20] The December 2009 polling data accumulated by Rasmussen Reports suggests that of the current batch of Republican candidates in the race for the governor's seat, McMaster has the best chance of defeating any Democratic opponent.[21]
Five months later, however, State Representative Nikki Haley had firmly taken the lead in the gubernatorial contest. Her campaign gained considerable ground after receiving the endorsement of former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney and former Governor of Alaska/Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin. A late-May 2010 survey conducted by Public Policy Polling showed Haley with thirty-nine percent while McMaster had slipped into second place with eighteen percent, with fourteen percent still undecided.[22] It was unclear at that point in time how the rumors of Haley's supposed extramarital affair with Will Folks, South Carolina blogger and former aide to Governor Mark Sanford, would affect her campaign.
A week after placing third in the state's June 8 primary contest with close to seventeen percent of the vote, McMaster came out and endorsed State Representative Nikki Haley in the Republican primary runoff contest set to take place on Tuesday, June 22, 2010.[2] State political experts believe the endorsement will greatly enhance Haley's chances of nabbing the party nomination as it will likely "put greater distance between her and Gresham Barrett, another establishment figure as a sitting congressman who was endorsed early on by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce."[23]

The biggest app makers are increasingly setting their sights on China, as the internationalization of the apps business creates no only greater opportunities for developers but also heightened risks, Scott Austin reports. Photo: Getty Images.
China is emerging as the next battleground for global app makers—but cracking the world's largest smartphone market is proving to be vexing.
App makers must navigate dozens of app stores with looser rules than in the U.S., fend off a proliferation of cloned apps, and steer around a thicket of regulations and intense competition from local developers.
What's more, companies that charge for their apps are finding they need to get more creative about business models in China since users there are accustomed to getting most digital content free.
ZeptoLab UK Ltd. found this out firsthand when it launched puzzle game "Pudding Monsters" in China last year. Weeks before the launch, the firm scrambled to integrate with payments systems for multiple app stores, with each offering different ways for users to pay for unlocking new levels and virtual items.

Apps have created a range of jobs that don't require a computer science degree and pay employees enough money to make a living. See a day in the life of Gabriel Hill, who works for errand service app Exec.
Then, to combat rampant app piracy, ZeptoLab decided to distribute authorized versions of the app to forums and other free download sites where they knew Chinese consumers would be hunting for the game.
"It is the same work you have to do everywhere else—times 10," said Misha Lyalin, chief executive of ZeptoLab, known for its popular "Cut the Rope" game. That app has more daily active users in China than any other country.
ZeptoLab's experience is typical for the growing number of app makers targeting China. These companies know they must tap the world's most populous country before U.S. growth slows, but the path to making money isn't so obvious.

"There's a U.S.-sized population of high-income, educated users who could become customers in China," said Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote Corp., maker of a digital note-taking app.
But while he projects China will leapfrog Japan this year to become Evernote's second-biggest market behind the U.S., he said, "It could all fall apart tomorrow. There is so much uncertainty everywhere," including regulation and changing tastes.
Evernote, based in Redwood City, Calif., established an office in Beijing in May and expects to double its staff there to 24 people this year. Last year, the company launched a version of its service hosted in China and took an investment from Chinese private-equity firm CBC Capital. Mr. Libin said growth requires building ties with local developers and app stores—and patience. Mr. Libin said users aren't upgrading from free to paid versions at the same rate as the U.S.

And revenue from apps sold in China still lag many other markets. Apps that include virtual currency tend to work better than paid models, said Christine Lee, who runs partner relations for app-marketing firm Tapjoy Inc.
The San Francisco firm said it has dozens of clients experimenting with new ways to make money from Chinese users, including offering free digital content in exchange for engaging with an ad or downloading an app. Apple has cracked down against the latter—and doesn't allow apps to give users virtual currency in exchanging for downloading an app. But other app stores don't have such rules, Ms. Lee said.
App distribution in China isn't the two-horse race it is in the U.S. Apple launched a localized Chinese app store that abides by government rules in 2010; CEO Tim Cook has been bullish on the market for Apple overall, saying on a recent earnings call "it's clear there is a lot of potential there." Google hasn't launched its Play app store in China, though consumers in China can access a version based in Hong Kong.
Rather, most of the activity happens through app stores operated by wireless carriers, Internet companies and startups jockeying to stand out by offering unique promotions. Many target Android apps or iPhones that have been modified to download apps without going through the app store.
Beijing-based AppChina allows users to download some 120,000 apps from its website and points to other sites with about 400,000 others that can be downloaded. The two-year-old service also offers reviews and editorial content. Unlike Google Play and Apple's app store, developers can pay to have their app promoted via an ad within the app store. Developers on average pay one to five renminbi (16 cents to 80 cents) per download depending on the app.
Still, many app makers said the growth opportunities make navigating the unfamiliarities of the Chinese app market worthwhile. At Fotopedia, which makes photo travel magazine apps, the company said China became its largest market last year, representing 20% of visits, compared with 14% from the U.S. At the beginning of 2011, China was Fotopedia's 10th-biggest market.
Christophe Daligault, senior vice president of global business for Fotopedia parent Fotonauts Inc., said Apple helped drive the growth by promoting Fotopedia's ad-supported iPhone and iPad apps in its Chinese app store.

Fotopedia's Chinese apps are free with ads like most of its other apps, although Mr. Daligault said the ad prices are lower than in Japan and Europe and the U.S. He expects those prices to improve as the company develops relationships with ad networks that sell globally.
"China is a really big deal for us," Mr. Daligault said, adding he believes that its apps do well in the country because they are visual.
Despite the hassles, entrepreneurs and investors are more optimistic about U.S. companies' chances in the Chinese app business than Web businesses that have tried to enter the market in the past.
Angel investor and Flipboard adviser Robin Chan said mobile app businesses have a good shot at being successful in China because Apple and Google can help bring products to China faster. "When you launch in the [Apple] App Store you are instantly global," he said. Flipboard, the popular media-reading app, has struck partnerships with stores including Wandoujia and App China in the country, which is now its third largest market by downloads.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
You know, as I plow through the Universal monster movies with my annual Halloween viewings, I start to ponder exactly what is my attraction to these flicks? Moody and occasional creepy as hell, but they're not actually scary - at least to a horror vet like myself. And yet, somehow movies like Dracula, Frankenstein and - in this case, The Invisible Man - are compelling to me year after year.
The invisible man, in case you havent guessed is about a mad scientist (is there any other type) who develops a formula that turns him invisible. You see, the formula turns the recipient invisible, but it also makes them quite mad. What's the first thing a Mad Scientist does when he develops the perfect invisibility formula? Obviously go on a crime spree! Murders of great men and murders of little men (just to show he doesn't discriminate), derailing a train and cause a huge crash and general antics on the terrified townspeople. With his proclivity to megalomania, The Invisible Man plans to bring the world to its knees. . . . .
Starring as the Invisible Man is Claude Rains in his first roll - well, his first screen roll of any note since I'm not counting that 1920's silent picture that he did that doesnt exist anymore. And more accurately, since we dont actually see The Invisible Man turn visible until the end, it was actually his voice that made his movie debut. Claude only gets a few seconds of face time in the film. Given the constraints of his roll, he manages to bring a wonderful combination of theatrical bravado and lovable lunacy - oh and that laugh is far too creepy for words.
As much as Claude rules the roost, a great deal of the credit to the success of the film must go to director James Whale, the mastermind behind classic horror films Frankenstein, The Old Dark House, and The Bride of Frankenstein - masterpieces, every one. Whale's strong point is that he manages to wrap his head around what it means to be an outside, a monster, and explore what it was like to be different and horrifying in an ordinary world. Since James was a gay man in the 1930's, it's not too hard to see why he had a sympathetic bent towards his monsters.
Of course a movie about invisible killers is going to live or die on the effects. While the effects look hoaky to today's eyes and you can clearly see the strings in places, this was some real cutting edge stuff. The visual effects, by John Fulton, John Mescall and Frank Williams, really give the story a believable edge even if they have dated badly.
The video is presented in its original black and white, full frame format - but the print is sadly showing its age. Tears, dirt, hairs, reel changes, scratches and just about everything that goes into badly preserved film stock are in evidence here. This film seriously needs some tender loving care from Universal before it's too late. The sound, on the other hand is a rock solid (if simple) 2-channel mono track.
If you've been paying attention to my previous Universal monster flick reviews, you know what to expect here: an excellent documentary from film historian David J. Skal, a trivia and information packed commentary by Rudy Behlmer, production notes a photo and poster gallery, cast and crew information and the trailer. An excellent job as always.
The Invisible Man is definitely one of the gold standards of classic horror movies. Several sequels were spawned by the success of this picture - some of them sporting casts that lesser movies would die for, Vincent Price and Sir Cedric Hardwick - but they dont quite match this version.
Now if only the print looked better.

Until now I didn't test it myself, because I don't like demo versions.
Usually demo versions can't be used to make real "test" productions. I'm
not interested to install a hacked version and I only knew one person
living far away, who used it and perhaps still does use it.
Other proprietary software doesn't need demo versions, because many
people do use it, it's not hard to get a chance to test such software,
but energyXT isn't Pro Tools or Steinberg, so I expect a full version
for test purpose.

Resp. when will it be released and really provide all it's advantages
and how much will it be?
I guess that Ardour, Rosegarden, Qtrator and Muse are the workstations
that are interesting for me. When I was younger I made 24/7 music, today
I don't touch an instrument for month, so I'm not in a hurry. If I
should change my mind and become a musician again, I might use something
Microsoft based or no computer. While I prefer Qtractor and Ardour 2, I
don't exclude Ardour 3, Rosegarden and Muse, they are close to my needs

A Valencia resident says that odor from a former sewage sludge disposal site near Rio Norte Junior High is fouling the air around the campus. Hart District administrators say they have received no complaints of a foul odor at the school. Cam Noltemeyer said The Newhall Land and Farming Co. is grading for future housing all around the junior high, and she wants the William S. Hart Union High School District to take appropriate steps to ensure the health and safety of the students at Rio Norte. In a recent letter to Hart district Superintendent Jaime Castellanos, Noltemeyer requested a map showing the location of the sludge site in relation to the Rio Norte. "The smell from the lower athletic fields would indicate that the sewage sludge is much closer than a quarter mile. The recent addition of a drainage pipe through those fields has done nothing to correct the condition," Noltemeyer wrote. The Los Angeles County Sanitation District used a portion of the property in the 1970s for treated disposal of human waste, said Newhall Land spokeswoman Marlee Lauffer. When Newhall Land prepared to build its 900-acre West Creek housing development of about 2,200 homes there, the environmental impact report for the project included information about soil tests that were done. "Much of the area where sludge was disposed of (was dug up and) put underneath Copper Hill Road. The area where the sludge was, is (now in) an area that is under some utility easements, it's not where we are grading today. It's undisturbed," Lauffer said. Rio Norte is located a quarter of a mile from the former sludge disposal site, said Hart district facilities director Michael Otavka. "The sewage disposal site is down hill from the school, so even from a runoff standpoint, it would never affect (the school)," Otavka said, adding that the information is included in the environmental impact report prepared prior to the school's opening in 2003.

While the Catholic Church has does not forbid the death penalty under all circumstances, it has voiced strong and growing opposition to the practice, as Catholic News Service reports:
Because the church has only in the past few decades begun closing the window — if not shutting it completely — on the permissibility of the death penalty, people who give just a partial reading of the church's teachings may still think the death penalty is acceptable today, said Tommaso Di Ruzza, desk officer at the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
St. Thomas Aquinas equated a dangerous criminal to an infected limb thereby making it "praiseworthy and healthful" to kill the criminal in order to spare the spread of infection and safeguard the common good.
However, over the centuries, justice has evolved from being the smiting arm of revenge toward a striving for reform and restoration, much like today's medical science, where amputation is no longer the only recourse for curing an infection.
Modern-day popes have reflected that change in attitude.
As far back as the 19th and early 20th centuries theologians pondered the seeming paradox between the Fifth Commandment, "You shall not kill," and the church's dark history of condoning state-held executions to deal with heresy and other threats and crimes.
Pope Paul VI took concrete action in distancing the church from this form of punishment, first by formally banning the use of the death penalty in Vatican City State, although no one had been executed under the authority of the Vatican's temporal governance since 1870.
Pope Paul also spoke publicly against planned executions and called for clemency for death-row inmates. Pope John Paul II also would punctuate his Angelus and general audience talks with impassioned appeals to spare the life of a prisoner on the verge of execution.
It was the Polish pope who "earnestly hoped and prayed" for a global moratorium on the use of capital punishment and the abolition of the death penalty worldwide.
Pope Benedict, too, continues to send appeals for clemency in high-profile cases via telegrams either through a country's bishops or nuncio, and he has praised a U.N. resolution calling upon states to institute a moratorium on the use of the death penalty.
The 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church recognized "as well-founded the right and duty of legitimate public authority to punish malefactors by means of penalties commensurate with the gravity of the crime, not excluding, in cases of extreme gravity, the death penalty." At the same time, it said, "bloodless means" that could protect human life should be used when possible.
The "extreme gravity" loophole was tightened with changes made in 1997, which reflected the pope's 1995 encyclical, "Evangelium Vitae." It specifies that the use of the death penalty is allowed only when the identity and responsibility of the condemned is certain and if capital punishment "is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor."
However, given the resources and possibilities available to governments today for restraining criminals, "cases of the absolute necessity of the suppression of the offender 'are very rare, if not practically nonexistent,'" it says.
Pope Benedict, then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, had a major role in drafting the 1992 Catechism and, especially, its 1997 revised passages. When he told journalists about the changes in 1997, he said while the principles do not absolutely exclude capital punishment, they do give "very severe or limited criteria for its moral use."
"It seems to me it would be very difficult to meet the conditions today," he had said.
When a journalist said the majority of Catholics in the United States favor use of the death penalty, Cardinal Ratzinger said, "While it is important to know the thoughts of the faithful, doctrine is not made according to statistics, but according to objective criteria taking into account progress made in the church's thought on the issue."

Staff and food.
Wifi, had to keep keying in passport when phone goes into sleep mode
The location
The handling of credit cards is completely unacceptable. It's not a 5 star hotel but a poorly kept 4 star. The decor us outdated and poor taste. Tours organised by hotel to boat tripwas a disaster.
The hotel is amazing. The staff is helpfull and lovely. The location is perfect and breakfast is delicious.
I liked everything.
Location Space, low rise, greenery Spacious room with pool view Service and English skills of staff Breakfast and lunch
Nothing I can think of.
Service, facilities and excellent staff.
The shower is too low and not good. The balcony is very small. Sound from the water at the pool not to our liking. The juice in the breakfast is not "real " juice
swimming pool breakfast choice
spa treatments overpriced / same quality available for one quarter the price downtown staff not sufficiently attentive for a five star hotel, few spoke good english
Actually, everything from the check-in to the check-out. My early check-in request was fully satisfied, the location is the best (walking distance to Lucky Mall & tuktuks always ready at the hotel), and the pool was great with clean water and comfortable sunbeds! Other than the major services, there were details I liked. When I asked the direction to the national museum, the hotel staffs told me I could buy ticket from the hotel concierge and they also arranged complimentary one-way ride to the museum. Also my favorite was the bicycle rental service($4~5 a day). You can just ask for one at the concierge, select the bicycle you like from the list they give you, and in a 5 to 10 minutes it is ready. It was about 30 minutes ride to the Angkor Wat, and it was indeed the most enjoyable moment during my stay.
One and only - weak wi-fi connection. I could hardly check nor send photo messages, and it took so long to check my e-mails. But other than that, nothing at all to complain.
Walking distance to a lot of massage shops , night markets and eateries.
Booked a pool view but no sight of pool as blocked by trees, felt short changed. There are many empty rooms, could have given us one with better view.
The hotel the staff in fact we have never been treated so well at Sokha Angkor. Food was exquisite!
Nothing we will recommend to anyone
All the staff, especially the F & B staff in the restaurant were very efficient and friendly.
Location, pool, bed was comfortable, staff was nice and it was quite.
The food was not very good. The breakfast was sub par for a 5 star hotel. The hotel and rooms are outdated.
Beautiful hotel, breathtaking pool, and wonderful staff. Cambodia has a charm through its people and nature, and all of this is experienced through being able to stay at the Sokha hotel.
Having to leave.
Everything. The pool was fantastic, the room was beautiful and the staff were great.
If i had to choose something, it would be the noise by the pool as they were renovating but still had agreat time
Huge lobby in modern Khmer style and warm welcome from hotel staff
Pool was fantastic, really big. Perfect temperature. Food and breakfast was of good quality. Flowers in reception were always lovely. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Would and have recommended the hotel to others.
Conceirge's restaurant recommendations werent brilliant - minor thing though
The smell of the mint in the lobby makes you refresh when you back from the sight, it makes you feel home. Also the breakfast also very good, the omelet and the noodle are recommended.
Amazing breakfast, excellent communication during our booking arrangments, also the garden and the pool area nicely arranged, rooms are spacious. Good Sokha!
Hotel location is convenient. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Room very comfortable and clean. Overall experience is very good value for money.
The staff service is superb. The facilities are complete and value for the money. The room is clean and very well equipped and plenty of TV channels and fast Wifi. Good breakfast and varieties of eateries.
Arrangement for my honey moon
When we walked into the lobby there is a very refreshing and invigorating aroma which we loved. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great selection of food for breakfast.
Our city view room is just next to the main road which was noisy from time to time due to the cars and motorcycles passing by. Also we got quite a few mosquito bites during the night, even after requesting the hotel to use more mosquito spray in the room.
hotel is realy cool
The entrance hall into the hotel looks amazing. The swimming pool a great size and looks great. Worth staying in the hotel even if it's just for the pool. Staff friendly and gave us free transport to the airport in a hotel jeep.
some staff are not so honest

It was a very nice place. I would like to come back anytime. I thought the price was just fine for all of the attractions near by. I would have no problems staying here again. Very Good!!! - Anonymous
Impeccable service, excellent location, stylishly furnished rooms, ridiculously comfortable beds. This is the second time I've stayed here, and I'll be staying again on my next visit to Chicago. I've already recommended it to friends, who have subsequently recommended it to their friends. Nuff said! - Anonymous
The staff was very friendly and welcoming! We told them we were there for our 1 year wedding anniversary and the hotel brought up champagne and strawberries to our room! Great location! Very accommodating! I would definitely stay here again! - Anonymous
Location was fabulous, Jewel grocery was just two blocks away, Magnificent Mile one block away, bus stop for all museums two blocks away, Hard Rock four blocks away... just great. Adjoining rooms were available for our family of four kids and two adults (two King suites), the space was very appreciated. The breakfasts were outstanding with meat, potatoes, and eggs at every meal plus bagels, toast, oatmeal, fresh waffles and fruit. The free dinners were adequate, one night was spaghetti with - Anonymous
Staff are very welcoming and helpful.
Hotel is really clean and comfy.
Location of the hotel is amazing especially the view from the top levels is marvellous.
The room was spacious and covered us all 5 adults and a kid.

Hotel staff were helpful in finding us taxis
while we wait in the lobby and it was really quick.

We are a Family Of 4 and enjoyed the city location. We live in
Pennsylvania since 6 years back, origin from Sweden and travel
frequently globally. The hotel is perfect for shopping, museums and a
vast variety of restaurants just around the corner! 5 min from the
Magnificent Mile, 15 min to the Navy Pier and 20 min walking to Shedd
Aquarium. But to the Science Museum we (adults) felt the kids-pressure
and took a taxi. A 15 min drive. Don't miss a Segway tour (13 and
above) and the Sky-walk-glas- - Anonymous
This is a good location. The red line subway is just next to the main
hotel entrance. The Magnificent Mile is a couple of blocks away. There
are many restaurants within walking distance. A one page list was
provided by the hotel. A business center is provided by the hotel where
you can check the internet and print off information without charge.
This is handy if you want to print an airline boarding pass, for
example. The staff were helpful. - Anonymous
The location was great, right on the river. The rooms were very clean and confortable and I enjoyed returning to a clean room everytime I got back to the hotel. I especially like the elevator security, one has to swipe your room key inorder to go to a hotel floor. They did not have this at the super expensive "Trump Towers" across the street. - Anonymous
The room was great - small but exactly what my husband and I needed. We had a fab view of the river over St. Patrick's Day weekend so it was green! We loved the location - so close to a ton of restaurants/bars and just a walk or short bus ride to really great shopping!
Also they have a filtered water station on every floor which was a surprising perk. - Anonymous
All I have to say is AMAZING!!! Best place we have ever stayed!! Staff were very friendly and answered all questions and concerned promptly! We stayed with 4 young children in a 2 bedroom apt, and it was fantastic! So much better than a regular hotel room! The decor was fabulous and the whole apt was super clean.. we even had 2 bathrooms which was great with the kids! The views were breathe taking with the floor to ceiling windows!! Will definitely be back! Thank you bridgestreet for the fanta - Anonymous
Perfect location. Fastest internet I have ever had. Excellent beds. Attentive and friendly staff. "Wine five-o-clock" at the lobby :) Great food at Sable restaurant and impressive cocktails at the bar. We arrived late, at 11 pm when the kitchen at the restaurant was about to close but nevertheless we were served with a great dinner. - Anonymous
The front desk staff was attentive and knowledgable. Claire was especially helpful. The bell staff and concierge were awesome. Paul Taylor and Gabriel were so helpful. Steered us towards great restaurants and looked after us during the whole stay. This will be the only hotel we will stay at downtown! Many thanks! - Anonymous
The location and the hotel is first class! You step out and find yourself in the heart of this fantastic city. The staff is more than helpfull and our room had a sweepig view. There is hot coffe always for the guests' pleasure and the breakfast is good as well. The wifi was fast, the elevator always worked. Altogether is a very very superb place to stay in Chicago, I can not wait to go back! - Anonymous

The Jets are jazzed
Players old and new can feel the excitement in Winnipeg
The first thing Mark Scheifele felt upon arriving in Winnipeg was the blast-furnace heat, but that was soon superseded by a feeling he's been getting from people all over our city in his first visit since being drafted by the Jets.
"Enthusiasm. That's the thing I've noticed most since arriving here. It's only been a few days but everywhere I go and everyone I've talked to is enthusiastic about the Jets," said Scheifele, drafted in the first round by the Jets this summer at the NHL Entry Draft and in Winnipeg to take part in the Dale Hawerchuk Charity Classic golf tournament.
"It's been unreal. The people are unreal and the town is really nice. It's exciting to go to a place that is so excited about its team. It makes you feel so good to know you are wanted."
Scheifele, along with current Jets centre Bryan Little, represented the future and present at the Hawerchuk event while former Jets Ray Neufeld, Thomas Steen, Kris King, Dave Ellett, Dean Kennedy and Dave Manson filled the old guard role.
King, now working for the NHL as a vice-president of hockey operations, has been a regular in Winnipeg since his playing days but arrived in town Monday for the first time since the announcement of the Jets return.
"I noticed right away, especially coming down Portage Avenue. There's a different feel. I was surprised to see the Moose logo still up at the store. It didn't take long for me to see the excitement in the city. The doorman at the Fairmont, he filled me in right away. Everyone it seems wants to talk about the Jets. This city has some great leaders and they've done everything right. The fans, they bought those tickets up in a hurry, they've spoken. Everyone is glad to have the NHL back in their town."
Hawerchuk believes Winnipeg is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
"There's a lot of buzz. The Jets are back. The town is growing, everything is happening at this particular moment and it's a great thing for the town," said Hawerchuk. "Anyone who played here is glad to have the team back and if you talk to guys around the league, they think Winnipeg should have a hockey team if they can support it. Winnipeg has proven itself."
As for Scheifele, Hawerchuk thinks the Jets have a keeper.
"He was such a treat to coach and whether or not I get to coach him again is up to him," said the the Barrie Colts coach, who had Scheifele on his team last season. "That's the thing with Mark, he gets so much better so fast. He's a humble kid and he loves the game. He's a good fit for Winnipeg and the people are going to love him. His potential is straight up. He was the best forward for Canada at the under-18s. He's the real deal."
Manson says the return of the Jets is good not only for Winnipeg but the whole country.
"The city is electric. So many positive things. The Bombers are winning, the Goldeyes are winning. The Jets are back," said Manson. "It's good for Canada. I know how bad it was for people when the team left, so now to see the smiles people have on their faces -- it's a great thing."
Little is now in town for good and will begin skating with local pros as his new teammates begin to trickle into Winnipeg.
"I've been here a day and a half and all I've had is people coming up to talk to me about hockey. You can feel the excitement," said Little. "It's been growing with the players all summer. We're excited too. It started out when you saw how excited people here were when they announced the team was coming back. Then they were at the draft. It's nuts. And now we all just can't wait for opening night. Guys are going to get here early because they're excited to get going. We're coming."
The 18-year-old Scheifele played last season for the Colts and will come to camp with the Jets in September looking to join the big club. If not it's back to the OHL's Colts and likely a spot with Team Canada at the world juniors.
"My goal is to make the team. I've been working hard all summer and will work even harder at camp to prove myself," said Scheifele, who had 22 goals and 53 assists last season which was his first in major junior.

The Protection of our Most Holy Lady the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary
Commemorated on October 1
Vespers: Tuesday September 30 at 6:30 PM
Liturgy: Wednesday October 1st at 9:30 AM
The Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos: "Today the Virgin stands in the midst of the Church, and with choirs of Saints she invisibly prays to God for us. Angels and Bishops venerate Her, Apostles and prophets rejoice together, Since for our sake she prays to the Eternal God!"
This miraculous appearance of the Mother of God occurred in the mid-tenth century in Constantinople, in the Blachernae church where her robe, veil, and part of her belt were preserved after being transferred from Palestine in the fifth century.
On Sunday, October 1, during the All Night Vigil, when the church was overflowing with those at prayer, the Fool-for-Christ St Andrew (October 2), at the fourth hour, lifted up his eyes towards the heavens and beheld our most Holy Lady Theotokos coming through the air, resplendent with heavenly light and surrounded by an assembly of the Saints. St John the Baptist and the holy Apostle John the Theologian accompanied the Queen of Heaven. On bended knees the Most Holy Virgin tearfully prayed for Christians for a long time. Then, coming near the Bishop's Throne, she continued her prayer.
After completing her prayer she took her veil and spread it over the people praying in church, protecting them from enemies both visible and invisible. The Most Holy Lady Theotokos was resplendent with heavenly glory, and the protecting veil in her hands gleamed "more than the rays of the sun." St Andrew gazed trembling at the miraculous vision and he asked his disciple, the blessed Epiphanius standing beside him, "Do you see, brother, the Holy Theotokos, praying for all the world?" Epiphanius answered, "I do see, holy Father, and I am in awe."
The Holy Transfiguration of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ (the Second "Feast of the Savior" in August)
Vespers 8/05 at 6:30 pm and Divine Liturgy 8/06 at 9:30 am
Discourse on the Holy Transfiguration of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ
of Saint Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessalonica
For an explanation of the present Feast and understanding of its truth, it is necessary for us to turn to the very start of today's reading from the Gospel: "Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James and John his brother, and led them up onto a high mountain by themselves" (Mt.17:1).
First of all we must ask, from whence does the Evangelist Matthew begin to reckon with six days? From what sort of day is it? What does the preceding turn of speech indicate, where the Savior, in teaching His disciples, said to them: "For the Son of Man shall come with his angels in the glory of His Father," and further: "Amen I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death, until they have seen the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom" (Mt.16:27-28)? That is to say, it is the Light of His own forthcoming Transfiguration which He terms the Glory of His Father and of His Kingdom.
