this trope. Give this one to character who's also a
Perpetual Frowner
, and you've got something scary indeed.
Were Josh Peck Prince
: It works even better if said person doing is also a vampire, were-creature or demon of some kind- or basically
creature with fangs.
Suave IV
: here's what I got from the cache, if anyone cares to merge it into the existing article, here ya go...
...I did, however, take the liberty of adding the image back to the main page, per the request on
Images We Miss
Drow Lord
: Huh... the descriptions for this and
Psychotic Smirk
seem to overlap a little. Are there any clearer distinctions?
Fanti Sci
Slasher Smile
is a giant grin with crazy eyes, worn mostly by mentally unhinged and over-the-top characters. A
Psychotic Smirk
is a small but highly significant smile worn by classy villains and antiheroes. A
Psychotic Smirk
can go unnoticed: there's no missing a
Slasher Smile
. To use your
Fruits Basket
examples, when Akito is talking quietly and menacingly, he's wearing a
Psychotic Smirk
. When someone thwarts him, or he goes off the deep end and into a vicious rant, the expression changes into a
Slasher Smile
(look at the eyes — they go crazy). Other than being disturbing smiles, it's rare that you could mistake one for the other. The pictures people have put up for these two entries demonstrate the characteristics of both smiles perfectly.
There's something extremely disconcerting about a smile that doesn't have an ounce of happiness in it. It's downright scary when the smile is in anticipation of pain or death - yours, probably. Somehow, the thought of being attacked by someone who's clearly enjoying it is more terrifying than a faceless assailant, or even by someone who's dark and brooding. Needless to say, the Slasher Smile does not inspire confidence in anyone who sees it.
The Slasher Smile is the evil sibling of the
Cheshire Cat Grin
. In general, the difference is in the eyes of the character. If the eyes sparkle, or are mischievously wicked, it's a Cheshire Cat Grin. If, however, the eyes are clearly crazy or malevolent, it's a Slasher Smile. If the grinning person is
holding a knife or an axe
, it's
a Slasher Smile.
While the
Cheshire Cat Grin
is a staple of the
, generally one of the good guys, the
Slasher Smile
is the staple of the
, unless said hero is a particularly dark or vicious
. Only expect to see a "nice" hero with a
Slasher Smile
if they've been possessed or suffered a major
Freak Out!
or if they have been taken over by their
Super-Powered Evil Side
. Also, a devious
Magnificent Bastard
is unlikely to look like this - it's too obviously evil. They prefer the
Psychotic Smirk
. The Slasher Smile is the premise of
The Dragon
or the antagonistic
Mad Scientist
. Killers who are insane as well as evil quite like to use this as well. It isn't exactly the hallmark of a well-balanced, rational mind. Creatures who physically devour their victims (vampires, etc.) also tend to use this... in their case, it means "All the better to eat you with!"
Some characters with a Slasher Smile wear the grin all the time - in fact, it's physically impossible for them to move their face out of it. This has the added worry of meaning that you can never tell what they're thinking, because their face betrays no expression beyond the smile.
May be part of the fear behind the
Monster Clown
While many horror films use this trope, the "Here's Johnny!" scene from
The Shining
merits a special mention.
The Joker from
had this expression glued on his face. His "Joker Venom" induces the expression in those exposed to it.
The literary example,
The Man Who Laughs
by Victor Hugo, which is commonly cited as inspiration for The Joker, involves a man whose face is surgically altered so that he cannot stop smiling and how his psyche is twisted by this. See the picture at the top of this page for the
unbelievably disturbing-looking
Under the same lines as the The Joker, fellow
Monster Clown
Psychofor Hire
Kefka Palazzo from
Final Fantasy 6
wears this smile every time you see him, in battle or not.
Literary example: In Robin Jarvis'
The Deptford Mice - The Dark Portal,
a rat called Smiler had a Slasher Smile on his face all the time...because he'd been rude to his superior as a child, and said superior had cut off his lips.
Slightly subverted in
Mc Gee
's Alice
: The Cheshire Cat had this expression (it's significantly scarier than the Cheshire Cat Grin his other incarnations wore), but he was one of the few allies the player has in the game, and he never attacks Alice. Still, when he appeared and disappeared grin-first, followed by his crazy eyes, it was prime
Nightmare Fuel
. It was never quite clear whether he was as mad as a box of frogs, or frighteningly sane.
Many cartoon sharks grin at their victims as they sneak up from behind. For instance, the
Finding Nemo
promotional posters featured a blood-crazed Bruce looming over Dory and Marlin.
Possibly an example of
Truth in Television
, or, more accurately, Urban Legend In Television. In the past, some people believed that sharks grinned and winked as they moved in for the kill. In actual fact, sharks' jaws swing down and forward to allow them to bite, and a membrane moves to cover their eyes so that they don't get damaged in the assault. The look certainly gives the appearance of a scary grin, which may go some way to explain why sharks are such demonised predators. Mind you, it seems unlikely that anyone being attacked by a shark would care whether it looked like it was grinning or not.
example: The Midnighter, in
The Authority
. He loves his job and he isn't afraid to show it in the scariest manner possible.
Xellos from
The Slayers
has this in spades. It's less common to see him not smiling than to see him with a smile (or a convenient
Psychotic Smirk
) on his lips, but if he's smiling
his eyes are open
, you're in serious trouble. Especially exemplified as he's sadistically torturing Valgaav in TRY and a highly amused smile never leaves Xellos' face, backed up by a truly psychotic giggle.
Hollow Ichigo
has a constant psychotic grin when he takes over.
As do Zaraki Kenpachi (being a
Blood Knight
) and Grimmjow Jaggerjagues (being a
Psycho for Hire
example: Revy from
Black Lagoon
frequently gets this kind of grin when she's busy gunning down bad guys in one of the show's shootouts, in particular the first major shootout at the Yellow Flag against the Extra Order mercenaries in the first episode.
Osaka's attempt to "wake up" Yukari in
Azumanga Daioh
fell into this from a different angle. Osaka always looks a bit blank, and she was half-asleep when she tried it... which just resulted in her standing in the doorway with a blank, empty smile and a large knife. She had no violent intentions, but she sure as hell
looked like
someone was gonna get stabbed.
Both Carcer and Mr. Teatime of Terry Pratchett's
books are described as smiling like this
all the time
. The drawing of Mr. Teatime in
The Art of Discworld
perfectly illustrates this.
Dilandau from
Vision of Escaflowne
has every kind of slasher expression in the book. Word has it the animators had a running contest as to who could draw Dilandau the most insane...
In the opening of
, Luca Blight has one of the most frighteningly evil
Slasher Smiles
imaginable bordering on
Nightmare Fuel
(a look that he keeps consistent throughout the game) and isn't just holding a knife or an axe; he's holding a...decapitated head.
Lucy from
Elfen Lied
, especially in the manga, seems to only smile whenever she is about to brutally kill somebody.
Kuroudo Akabane from
's happy face.
Legato Bluesummers from
has probably the most nonchalant
Slasher Smile
An episode of
Xena: Warrior Princess
flashes back to the point in her past where Xena went from ruthless but otherwise sane and rational warlord to utterly psychotic rampager; she has one of these grins on her face when she snaps a Roman soldier's neck, but it's her
that are the most disturbing.
Just look at the entry picture on
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
. There are a couple hundred other examples in the series, too.
culprit, though, has a perpetually blank appearance, which is even creepier in contrast.
A good portion of the characters in
(especially Alucard and Alexander Anderson) tend to wear psychotic
Slasher Smiles
a good portion of the time.
Ophelia from
was fond of flashing these.
This is the only expression worn by Kevin from
Sin City
Reality Show example: Sanjaya from
American Idol
Literary example: In Ray Russel's Victorian pastiche
, the title character takes this name on account of having one of these smiles, the result of having a shock when digging up his father's grave to retrieve a winning lottery ticket from the corpse's pocket.
During a lull in his
Minor Injury Overreaction
, Ysengrin from
Gunnerkrigg Court
flashes one of these — along with his claws — at Mr. Eglamore.
Took out the second entry on The Shining.
Were Josh Peck Prince
: I've got a question. How many times has Jack Nicholson used the slasher smile in the movies he's been in?
Twin Bird
: Well,
, obviously. The porn theatre in

. A few times in

Cheshire Cat Grins
Edited the first quote to be a more direct translation of the German original, since there's no official English version. Also corrected Bertholt Brecht —> Bertolt (spelling he used most often).
Um...I never thought that I'd say this, but the English version from the 1930s is very widely recognized and is the one that all of the covers of the song (including the famous Bobby Darin version) use. While the current quote is MUCH closer to the actual lyrics, the line from the original English translation is more widely recognized and is better illustrative of the trope" "Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear, and it shows 'em pearly whites..." I won't change anything, but I'd just like to render my support of changing the quote to that version.
While the current version (7 sept 09) is strictly speaking A correct translation, it isn't necessarily THE correct one, seeing as the song goes: "Und der Haifisch/der hat Zähne/und die trägt er im Gesicht/und
Mac Heath
der hat ein Messer/doch das Messer sieht man nicht." Which I'd translate as "And the shark's got teeth, and he keeps them in plain sight. And
Mac Heath
(Mack) has a knife, but that knife one doesn't see". Yes, my translation sucks, mainly because several grammatical structures in the German version don't exist in english. The point I'm trying to make though is: the shark's got nothing to do with the story, it's only there so Mack can be compared to it. Having teeth in your face instead of, say, your left elbow, isn't only trivial but also doesn't really make for a nice contrast with anything else in the sentence. Having teeth in plain sight, however, forms a perfect foil for Mack's hidden knife. I agree with

, either stick with the German version or go with the "official" free translation.- Garnasha 7 sept 09 14:55 wondering why signing with ~~~~ doesn't work in this wiki.
Known Unknown
: I think the Mack the Knife quote should be the one from the English (Jazz) version, as the original version kind of... loses it's intensity when it's directly translated. Unless you want to put it in German, I suggest changing it.
"Oh the shark has; Pretty teeth dear; And it shows them; Pearly white"

Summary: Bewildering features of modern physics, such as relativistic spacetime structure and the peculiarities of socalled quantum statistics, challenge traditional ways of conceiving of objects in space and time. Interpreting Bodies brings together essays by leading philosophers and scientists to provide a unique overview of the implications of such physical theories for questions about the nature of objects. The collection combines classic articles by Max Born, Werner Heis ...show moreenberg, Hans Reichenbach, and Erwin Schrodinger with recent contributions, including several papers that have never before been published. The book focuses on the microphysical objects that are at the heart of quantum physics and addresses issues central to both the "foundational" and the philosophical debates about objects.
Contributors explore three subjects in particular: how to identify a physical object as an individual, the notion of invariance with respect to determining what objects are or could be, and how to relate objective and measurable properties to a physical entity. The papers cover traditional philosophical topics, commonsense questions, and technical matters in a consistently clear and rigorous fashion, illuminating some of the most perplexing problems in modern physics and the philosophy of science. The contributors are Diederik Aerts, Max Born, Elena Castellani, Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara, Bas C. van Fraassen, Steven French, Gian Carlo Ghirardi, Roberto Giuntini, Werner Heisenberg, Decio Krause, David Lewis, Tim Maudlin, Peter Mittelstaedt, Giulio Peruzzi, Hans Reichenbach, Erwin Schrodinger, Paul Teller, and Giuliano Toraldo di Francia. ...show less

US 4660418 A Abstract A flexible hinge device comprises a laminar silicon body having a groove portion etched away to define a thin flexible strip joining two rigid end portions. The silicon forming the hinge is usually of a single crystal structure. Break-off supports may be provided to support the structure prior to use.
Claims(1) 1. A unitary flexible hinge device comprising a laminar body of single crystal silicon having a hinge groove etched therein extending in an uninterrupted straight line manner across said body between a pair of opposite edges thereof, dividing said body into two rigid body portions on opposite sides of said hinge groove, said hinge groove having a depth forming a substantially thin flat hinge groove bottom connecting said two rigid body portions, said hinge groove bottom being flexible along the entire length of said groove, said body includes two additional grooves each extending transverse to said hinge groove in an interrupted straight line manner across a respective one of said pair of body portions between a second pair of opposite edges thereof forming a pair of support portions each extending across said hinge groove rigidly connecting said two body portions together, each said support portion being removable from said body portions at said two additional grooves.
Description This invention relates to a unitary flexible hinge device, and in particular to such a device formed from a body of single crystal silicon. According to the invention there is provided a unitary flexible hinge device comprising a laminar body of single crystal silicon having a groove etched therein whereby the body is divided into two rigid portions linked by a relatively thin flexible portion formed by the base of the groove. Silicon's excellent mechanical properties including substantially no hysteresis or creep and a high strength make it an ideal material for use as a flexible member in various instrumental applications, e.g. in an accelerometer. The flexible region can be made to very precise dimensions using anisotropic etching. In particular this flexible hinge region can be etched to a few microns in thickness by using an etch stop during the process. An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a plan view of the hinge device; FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the device of FIG. 1 taken along the hinge groove; FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the device taken along one of the hinged members; FIG. 4 is a transverse sectional view of the device of FIG. 1; FIG. 5 is a plan view of the device after removal of the support portions; and FIG. 6 is a schematic view of an accelerometer employing the device of FIGS. 1 to 5. Referring to the drawings, the hinge device is formed by anisotropic selective etching from a laminar body 11 of single crystal silicon. To effect this etching the silicon body is masked and then treated with an etch solution comprising e.g. a mixture of catechol, ethylene diamine and water or of potassium hydroxide and isopropyl alcohol to form a groove or trough 12 across the body 11 and extending to substantially the whole thickness of the body. Advantageously the body 11 is also etched to form two further grooves 13 transverse to the groove 12 which grooves 13 define break-off support portions 14 which maintain the hinge device in its unflexed state prior to use. The hinge device may be secured to the members (not shown) to be hinged by an adhesive. Alternatively openings 16 may be etched in the body for the attachment of fasteners (not shown). The thickness of the base portion 15 providing the flexible member of the hinge device may be defined using an etch stop. This may be achieved by doping this portion of the body 11, prior to etching, with boron to a concentration greater than 4�1019 atoms/cc. Using the etch materials described there is an abrupt change in the etch rate from that normal for updoped silicon to substantially zero at the boron doped region. The dimensions of the unetched region are defined previously by the boron doping profiled and it will thus be apparent that thickness of the flexible portion 15 of only a few microns can be readily achieved. After etching is complete the mask (not shown) is removed and the hinge device is then ready for installation. The support portions 14 are left attached to the device until installation has been completed whereon they are broken away leaving the assembled hinge intact (FIG. 5). FIG. 6 is a sectional schematic view of an accelerometer employing the hinge device of FIGS. 1 to 4. The accelerometer includes a housing 51 within which an inertial mass 52 is supported between end stops 53 via a hinge device 54. The hinge 54 is located in corresponding openings in the housing 51 and inertial mass 52 and is secured therein either by an adhesive or by pins 55 engaging the openings 16 in the device. The hinge allows movement of the mass 52 in response to an accelerating force. This movement being detected e.g. by the change in the electrical capacitance ratio between the two end stops 53 and the mass 52. Other constructions may be evisaged in which the silicon component is more complex and incorporates within it further parts of the complete device including the inertial mass. Patent Citations

2009 Chevrolet Equinox Problems
A Loose or worn gas cap may cause Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Vehicles with certain V6 engines may illuminate the Check Engine Light one or more of the following codes: P0011, P0014, P0021, P0024, P0341, P0346, P0336, or P0391. Our technicians tell us that some vehicles may require a powertrain control module (PCM) software update to correct this issue. Other vehicles may have excess camshaft end play on one or both cylinder heads which will need to be corrected using special procedures outlined by GM.
Vehicles with a 6speed automatic transmission may develop one or more of the following faults related to a broken 35R clutch wave plate inside the transmission: Illumination of the Check Engine Light with code P0716, P0776, P0717, P0777, P2714, P2715, and/or P02723, loss of reverse gear, slipping or harsh 3rd or 5th gear shift. Removal and dis-assembly of the transmission will be required to replace the broken 35R wave plate. It is also extremely important that all debris from the failed part be cleaned from the transmission while it is disassembled in order to try and prevent future problems.
2009 Chevrolet Equinox Questions
Changing lanes and turning
Light switch is so on auto the low beams do not work but flick the lever to switch to high beam and they come on.
My needle shows the tank is always full and I know I only have at most a half a tank of gas in there. Is this an expensive repair and what is involved? When I turn engine off it goes to about the half way mark.

I worked at Fusion Systems Japan as an intern (less than an year)
ProsThe Fusion team hired me as a summer intern in 2013. They provided me with instruction from the Japan office and one-on-one mentoring with the project Program Managers and experienced engineers. I was provided with hands-on exposure to Agile development methodologies and given specific assignments that reinforced the models being taught. The project team leaders were open and easily approachable when it came to roadblocks, and the critique of my assignments was always balanced between the needs of the project deliverable and what I needed to understand in order to deliver my task. At all times I was treated as a real contributor and not just a temporary staff member.
After I returned to school to finish my senior year the Fusion managers stayed in touch and provided excellent references and support in my job search. I was invited back to the office and allowed to see the finished product that was released to the public.
The team I worked with was great, lead by a very senior program manager that was actually off-site, but in communication with us on a daily basis. It was also a very international team with consultants from Asia, Europe and the US involved and each of them highly skilled in their practice areas. The practical application of basic computer science skills was invaluable. The insights from the senior developers changed the way I developed code after this position.ConsAs an intern I didn't earn as much at Fusion as I thought I might have deserved. The office was in a warehouse and was in need of a significant upgrade to compare with other software development companies in California. (Note: They since have moved into a new office tower in Torrance, CA)
Advice to ManagementAdviceThe management team was disconnected and that lead to some confusion. The Senior Partner was back and forth to Japan and the Junior Partner was heavily focused on sales, not engineering. My direct manager was based in Portland so communication was via SKYPE and phone calls. I would have liked to seen better organization of reporting lines and access to key information for project delivery.

Watermelon is filled with lycopene, which protects skin from damaging ultraviolet rays, and vitamin A, which increases iron absorption to help deliver engine-stoking oxygen to cranking muscles. And as this picnic staple's name suggests, it's brimming with hydrating H2O yet low in fiber and packed with sugars, making it an ideal choice for easy-to-digest preride energy.

Document - Bermuda: death penalty: Rudolph Leroy West (includes correction)
EXTERNALAI Index: AMR 17/01/95
EXTRA 92/95 Death Penalty10 August 1995
BERMUDARudolph Leroy WEST
Amnesty International is concerned that Rudolph Leroy West may be executed at any time after 22 August 1995. No one has been executed in Bermuda since 1977 when two men were hanged, sparking major riots.
West was sentenced to death on 1 August 1995 for the murder of his estranged wife, Rochelle Marcia West, on 5 January this year. He has 21 days in which to appeal. West pleaded guilty to premeditated murder and is reported to have attempted suicide three times since his arrest. However, no psychiatric report was carried out to determine his mental state. His guilty plea was reportedly based on a confession statement he had made.
It is not yet clear whether West will appeal his conviction. In the absence of an appeal, the prerogative of mercy lies, in practice, with the Governor of Bermuda, who acts on the advice of a five-member Advisory Committee on the Prerogative of Mercy.
Amnesty International opposes the death penalty in all cases as a violation of the right to life and the right not to be subjected to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In April 1989 the Bermudian Parliament debated a motion tabled by an opposition MP to abolish the death penalty. The vote was decided by the Speaker, thus preserving the status quo. A referendum on the issue, which was not binding on Members of Parliament, took place in August 1990. About 79% of those who voted (a third of registered voters) favoured retention of the death penalty. In 1991 the British Government abolished the death penalty in all its dependencies in the Caribbean except Bermuda. It expressed the hope that Bermuda would soon follow the example.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please telephone, or send telegrams/faxes/airmail letters in English or your own language:
- welcoming the fact that no executions have been carried out in Bermuda for the past 18 years;
- urging the Governor General to exercise clemency in the case of Rudolph Leroy West by commuting his sentence;
- noting that the absence of a psychiatric report at the trial is an added concern and further reason for seeking clemency;
- noting that the death penalty was abolished in all the United Kingdom's dependencies in the Caribbean in 1991, and urging the Government of Bermuda to follow this example.

Most movies have a dominant quality, and in "Rosalie Goes Shopping," that sought-after quality is Reassurance. The movie is about a woman who reassuringly provides her family with all of the best things in life, and reassuringly lies to the banks and the credit card companies that she will be able to pay for them, and reassuringly assures herself that she is a splendid wife and a wonderful mother and an exemplary human being.
Sometimes, to be sure, she has her infinitesimal little moments of doubt, and when they spring up, she goes to confession, where her parish priest listens in wonder to her tale of scams, con games and check kitings. He gives her the best advice he can, and she leaves him trying to reassure himself that he belongs in the priesthood. How does a priest feel when a penitent seems more positive about her sins than he does about her redemption? The whole movie takes place somewhere in rural Arkansas, where Rosalie (Marianne Sagebrecht), a plump German woman with a beatific smile, has settled down with her husband to raise a large and increasingly affluent family. The husband (Brad Davis) is a crop-dusting pilot who presumably wooed and won Rosalie during a tour of duty with the Air Force in Germany. Now he is confronted by a wife who is a delight and a puzzlement to him. She showers the benefits of the consumer society on their family, she walks around the house in a cocoon of serenity, and yet, and yet - the question must be asked: Where does the money come from? The answer is that the money comes from thin air. I have a friend who was once a credit card swindler, and the way he explains it, the credit card companies are almost pathetically happy to send you their cards and let you use them, and not as swift as they ought to be to figure out who isn't paying. When you use one card to pay another, and combine that with the judicious use of check-floating strategies and a home-equity loan on a home with no equity, you can live pretty well in the short run. And of course you should never even think in the long run.
"Rosalie Goes Shopping" is the third movie directed by Percy Adlon and starring Sagebrecht, whose previous collaborations were "Sugarbaby" and "Bagdad Cafe." She is an unlikely looking movie star, plump and angelic and somewhere around 40, but it cannot be denied that she has a particular screen quality: She glows. It is an innocent, benevolent glow. She is happy with herself, pleased to make others happy, and she lets tomorrow take care of itself.
The movie doesn't tell her story as a financial thriller, with lots of dates and times and bank balances. Adlon is more concerned with the meaning of what she does. She sees comfort and plenty all around her, she wants it for her family, and she finds that people will sell it to her on credit, time and plastic. So why save up first? Live it up now and let your ship come in tomorrow! The family has its doubts. Some of the children seem to suspect uneasily that Mom may be living in a dream world, and Davis would be worried, too, if he thought about such things. Certainly Rosalie's parents grow concerned when they visit from Germany and see children being raised with little discipline, a household being run on credit - and their own return tickets being sold to raise a little emergency cash.
"Rosalie Goes Shopping" records the mood of a large part of society - of those people in the TV commercials and sometimes in real life, who measure their happiness by material possessions, brand names and the latest models of the newest gizmos. Rosalie occupies the center of the film, almost in a daze; she's a juggler who can keep all of her balls in the air only if she stays half-hypnotized by their rhythm.
Call her attention to anything - especially her current net worth - and the whole act would come crashing to earth.

Preparing For Fatherhood
Hung up on the way your life will change once the baby comes? Here's something to think about.
Have you been staying up all night thinking about all the things you and your partner won't be able to do once the baby arrives — seeing the world, taking up exotic hobbies, or even just going out at night whenever the urge hits? At 29 weeks pregnant, instead of thinking of what you won't have in your life any more (or won't have as much opportunity for), start thinking of what you will have in your life: A very special little person to share it with. Will your life be different (your favorite hobby becomes blowing raspberries on that chubby little belly; your late nights involve rocking instead of dancing)? Absolutely. Will it be better? Immeasurably.

JM does not seem to care much for OB and OB had his chance in Montreal. I much prefer getting Bournival than have OB sitting in the stands for every game.....

TripAdvisor Reviews VIP Executive Azores Hotel Ponta delgada
Travel Blogs from Ponta delgada
Welcome to Ponta Delgada! In Portuguese, the translation for 'welcome' is BEM-VINDO! Our plane took a slight detour to Ponta Delgada where we visited for a longer layover than anticipated. However, our one night stay here has been great! The airline comped our room and dinner for the evening. Dinner was a small tasting of what we will be …
... Campo. Rui wanted us to try the local cakes but the cafe didn't have any. So they ran to the bakery to pick some up. Now that is custome service! Then on to Furnas. What a cool area. They have named all the caldeiras or hot springs in the Parque Tera Nostra. We arrived on the shores of the lake right on time to see them unearth the cooking pots that they have buried for 7 hours in steam tubes. We enjoyed a huge lunch of beef, chicken, pork, chorizo, black entrail ...
Rain and fog
... from a door handle and knew the bread man had already visited. As Deb noted, home delivery in a village of 75 people and we can't get the purolator man to drop stuff off in Winnipeg. It started to rain again so we headed to a cafe for coffee with all the menfolk coming out of Sunday mass. I guess the womenfolk don't get to socialize that way. Hmm. Then it veered off to non traditional sights including the surfer beach with lava stone and black sand, ...
Ponta Delgada - living on a volcano
... On our way back we stopped at one of the largest hotels in the small city for a tasting of their local wines and cheeses. They make quite good wines and flavourful soft cheeses. This last stop before our crossing had everyone checking emails and downloading everything they needed. Fortunately, the hotel had quite fast internet and I was able to upload more library ...
Day 12 - Ponta Delgada, The Azores.
... is very sleepy and quaint. Lots of old buildings and churches. Back on the coach we head up into the mountains. The Azores were formed as the result of volcanic activity which pushed them up out of the ocean. We see lots of steam rising as we climb upwards and George informs us this is because of geothermal activity which is harnessed and provides 40% of the islands electricity needs. We see lots of power plants dotted here and there where they have drilled down deeply to access ...

Our final step was a statistical validation of our initial hypotheses. We ran a Regression Analysis on all 50+ ad concepts we had tested.
The first run was at an aggregate country level:
• Drivers of Commitment: 6 variables were significant – only one of them was a Bonding aspect, all others were Attention variables. Therefore, Attention is a more critical feature.
• Drivers of Attention: Results were similar – pointing to the importance of Attention in the overall effectiveness of any advertising to these audiences.
• Drivers of Bonding: Only Brand News and Persuasion were significant.
The data was then run by each location.
• Drivers of Commitment: Brand Fit, User Identification and Attention were most important. Followed by Wearout.
• Drivers of Attention: The results supported our hypothesis that Riyadh audiences are driven more by softer, bonding values.
• Drivers of Bonding: Brand News, Brand Empathy and Warmth were the most significant contributors.
• Drivers of Commitment: Attention, Warmth, Bonding and Persuasion were most significant.
• Drivers of Attention: Our hypothesis that Jeddah looks for product news and differentiation was corroborated.
• Drivers of Bonding: Included Brand News, Brand Differentiation and Persuasion – all pointing to more of a rational interest amongst Jeddah audiences.
So with the help of this statistical analysis, we were able to identify what could possibly be important elements in the making of creative, and more importantly, effective ads for the two main metros of Saudi Arabia.
Our analysis shows that brands need to communicate a point of difference – and in most cases this still needs to be rational. Jeddah audiences specifically look for such brand differentiation and are not easily convinced by softer aspects.
But there is a need to balance rational product claims with an emotional and relevant message content. There must be a fine balance between product features and user imagery/identification– if the ad overemphasizes on product, it may be unable to create sufficient empathy. Simply put, ads need to creatively and innovatively communicate a point of difference and slowly move towards establishing an emotional bond with the audience. And, messages need to be clear, relevant, focused and unambiguous.
Finally, it is worth commenting on gender differences. We all know that "Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus." This difference impacts to some extent their responses to advertising. On the Attention statements, females are likely to be more positive to any ad than males. For Bonding also, they are likely to be slightly more positive. Therefore, during copy testing, clients should expect slightly lower scores for males. This might be due to greater product involvement or experience than any intrinsic bias – but that is a subject for another day.

decor8 reader Jet G. sent in a pic of his newly designed bedroom, with a very fresh, simple approach to displaying the things he loves. This wall is a great example of a clean, well-edited space – and that art doesn't always need to be displayed on the wall – it can extend down to a shelf, leaned against the wall as this picture shows. And don't you love the little starfish and the white orb lamp?
The grouping of objects is serene and uncomplicated, and the touch of the ocean is just great! Jet said that you can actually Rate His Room over on HGTV.com, so if you'd be so kind to cast your vote, click here. And Jet… That bedroom of yours is so chic as is, but when I looked down and spotted that very unexpected Zebra rug — All I can say is bonus points to you for going there because most wouldn't dare. Mega gold stars for you!

Phara from the blog, Your Mirror Or Mine, would like to share a wall in her living room that she's fond of. This display reminds me of a clock face, each picture a number around the mirror in the center. I like to see a creative grouping like this, and how it can make each piece so much more interesting when some thought it given to the arrangement.
Here's another nice arrangement she has in her home. I know we should be looking at the walls here, but I can't take my eyes off of these black chairs. Drool.
Have a wall to share with us today? Send me your website/blog URL, your name, and your images (or a link to them): decor8blog{at}yahoo{dot}com

More art to love. This time, it's from Toronto girl, Alison G. from the Sylphofthestitch blog. Nice workspace, thanks for sending this in!
"I finally decided to convert my dining table into a desk. I'm pretty happy thus far, I'm more productive. I think. The sun pours in in the morning and I'm at ground level so I can look out at all the people walking on the street." – Alison
Thanks, Alison! The clothesline display is a huge trend right now, I can't believe how often I'm seeing this in homes — It's a great way to rotate what inspires you without investing in frames and nailing too many holes into your wall (especially good for renters). If you don't want to use traditional clothespins, you can opt for mini binder clips or mini clothespins in plain wood, primary colors, or in pastel colors (I really like the white myself).
HOW TO: To create this fun wall display, locate 2 tacks (I like map tacks), a few mini clothespins, and about 36″-70″ of twine or Beadalon wire, size depends on how long you'd like your display to be. I suggest 36″-50″ max since a long line tends to sag a lot; you want your line to remain somewhat taut. Measure your wire/twine to fit the space, and tie *one* end tightly around *one* tack. Position your tack into the wall and firmly pull the wire/twine and then when you find the perfect spot, position the tack into the wall and tie/loop that end around the tack. Try to keep your art as lightweight as possible – cards, photographs, gift tags, etc. work best.

Zah's team at Empa has a long-standing record in LCA for biofuels. In 2007, they conducted an LCA for biofuels on behalf of the Swiss government, which became the basis for the OECD strategy on biofuels and for the Swiss ordinance on tax redemption for sustainable biofuels. In the following years, the Empa researchers have analyzed the direct and indirect impacts of biofuels production in various regions in Latin America, Africa and India; they developed the first web-based LCA tool for biofuels ("Sustainable Quick Check for Biofuels", SQCB) that formed the basis for the new web-tool.
The tool is freely available on the internet and can be used by any interested party who wishes to perform lifecycle GHG calculations of biofuels or assess their biofuel operations; it allows the user to conduct a self-assessment against the RSB Principles & Criteria and a self-risk assessment against the RSB Standard for Risk Management.

Most of the last names of Loveland Festival have a special bond with Holland. It is a mix of Dutch talent and experience. All different styles of music that Loveland Festival stands for are represented. The names not always reveal it, but Secret Cinema, Egbert (LIVE), Arjuna Schiks, Juan Sanchez, Dimitri Kneppers, Olivier Weiter, DMZS, Gregor Salto, Shermanology, San Proper, Tom Trago, Melon and Benny Rodrigues are all of Dutch origin. The only DJ without Dutch blood in his veins is the German Tom Novy. At Loveland Festival the artists are spread over six stages. Looking at the complete line-up we are very proud and happy. All the preconditions are present to make the 11th of August a memorable day.
The early bird ticket costing 45 euro is still available here. With this ticket you get a free guest-ticket for Loveland Queensday were you have guaranteed and free entrance until 13:00!
This year we decided to look for a new mascot for the festival. In our search we soon found out that the butterfly is still our favorite. This is without a doubt the oldest resident of our Loveland. So it was a no-brainer to chose this little animal. Build from all the equipments that are needed during a festival the butterfly flies trough live. With a great passion for music, addicted to the rocking beat and travelling from one party to another. Everywhere where the butterfly shows up, the hands raise automatically. We couldn't wish for a better talisman.

The Death Star, a shark, and a beehive have absolutely nothing in common. Except at Simply Irresistible, where they're all part of a portfolio of specialty cakes crafted to look like the real thing?and to taste good, too. The bake shop also turns out cookies shaped like dinosaurs and gorgeous tiered wedding cakes; if their clients can dream it up, the bakers can likely make it. Committed to quality ingredients, they also hand-craft a range of gourmet cupcakes from farm-fresh dairy and real butter, creating flavor iterations such as cinnamon-roll, key lime pie, and lemon-raspberry.
For more than 15 years, SoCal Event Staffing has not only matched experienced bartenders with restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and catering companies, they've also taught novices the ins and out of the bartending trade. Their two-day certification program prepares students for the nightlife industry, teaching them more than 150 drink recipes and how to wield a drink umbrella in the event of a water main burst. Program graduates then earn a lifetime of placement assistance from the company, which matches them with full- and part-time positions at more than 300 venues.
Named a top place to play in Southern California by Golf Digest, the course at Rio Hondo Golf Club leads players on a zigzagging path toward glimpses of glittering lakes and waterfalls. Separated from adjacent holes by aisles of stately pine, the narrow fairways traverse rolling hills and mounds strategically placed to create tricky lies and inhibit golf-cart drag racing. When a rusty swing holds back progress, the club facilitates game improvement with a lighted, 30-stall practice range, as well as lessons with head PGA professional Steve Labarge and his band of instructors. The new 23,000-square-foot clubhouse houses the buzz of activity, inviting players to down cold beers while enjoying the emerald panorama.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par-71 course
Total length of 6,360 yards from the back tees
Course rating of 70.5 from the back tees
Course slope of 122 from the back tees
Four sets of tees per hole

What sets your business apart from your competition?
My business is one of only a few unique to Southern California that provide in-home instruction and demonstration cooking parties. Our menus include recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation. We offer a menu that ranges from comfort Soul Food to Thai Food with a twist.
What was the inspiration for starting this business?
I decided to start this business after completing my cookbook titled _The Dish, which is a collection of short stories and recipes that speak to how I came about developing and obtaining some of the family favorites. Completing the cookbook made me realize how great it would be to share the recipes with a live audience participating._
What?s your favorite part about your job?
The opportunity to create meals for people who enjoy the art of cooking, and to meet and make great friends.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
We like to tailor our menus to satisfy the client's desired atmosphere. We interview the client about their intended guests and the vibe they would like to create for the special event.
Served in the kingly confines of its facility near the shore of Lake Alhambra, Almansor Court's feasts treat revelers to a welcome royal regimen of freshly formed eats. Normally known for housing festive private receptions, Almansor Court throws open the doors of its well-appointed banquet hall for its all-encompassing Sunday champagne brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., serving public palates without the pretense of invitations or fancy tongue-size tuxedos.
National Bartenders School, Covina helps its graduates land not a single job, but an entire lifetime of work. Alumni can return to the school for unlimited refresher courses and job-placement aid. First, however, they must earn their bartending degree, mastering the art of crafting, garnishing, and presenting more than 200 cocktails through classes and hours of solo practice. The instructors' state-approved courses cover traditional bartending and flair bartending, which hinges on tricks such as juggling bottles or igniting shots with a to-scale model sun.

The Surat Thani Province region
Twenty years ago, only a few intrepid backpackers visited the island. Today, Koh Samui is a cosmopolitan melting pot, attracting budget travellers staying for a month or two in simple beachside fan bungalows, to the mega rich, dropping in for a weekend at a luxury resort or villa on the beach.
Koh Samui is unique among Thailand's islands in maintaining a broad appeal for everyone. This helps to give the distinctive relaxed atmosphere that sets it apart. Everyone is welcome.
Koh Samui's busiest and biggest town has sprung up around one of the island's best beaches. As well as offering more accommodation options than elsewhere on the island, Chaweng is also nightlife central with bars and restaurants catering to every taste.
From beachside institutions to sophisticated cocktail bars, Chaweng's nightlife is streets ahead of anywhere else on Samui in terms of choice.
The famous Green Mango strip still forms the axis around which the rest of the town's bars revolve and is packed with (mostly) young revellers every night, alternating between the pubs, dance bars and girly bars. Chaweng's main strip is nearly three kilometers long though, and lots of smaller centers of activity have sprung up along it. McDonalds forms a landmark in the south of town just across the road from Chaweng's single most popular bar, Tropical Murphy's Irish pub.
Getting around
There are several means of transportation during your stay in Koh Samui. There is a service called 'Tuk Tuk' which is basically a fleet of pickup trucks/ motorized rickshaws that drive randomly around the islands 'ring road' and tourist hot spots that you can just flag down and jump in. However, they are not cheap, or too reliable, and only do main road pick-ups and drop-offs.
The main mode of transportation on the island, and most recommended is renting out scooters/motor bikes. If you are a skilled driver, we can assist you in renting out a few during your stay (value cost: $8 - $15/day).
However, if you are more of a car person, we can help you in renting out an appropriate car instead (value cost: $30 - $45/ day). A heads-up in advance will be highly appreciated in order to make necessary arrangements.

"Wonderful Cozy Thai Style design with semi-private roof-top pool, outdoor dinning area, and tiki bar!."
Wonderful Cozy Thai Style design with semi-private roof-top pool, outdoor dinning area, and tiki bar!. Great place to relax and enjoy some drinks around the pool, host barbeques with friends, and hit town. Only 5 minutes ride to downtown Chaweng. Quentin, the Property Manager, was very professional extremely helpful. Furthermore, he assisted us in renting out scooters at value cost and arranged for guest pick-up / drop-off services to the airport. We would like to verify that the listing is accurately described here and accordingly highly recommend staying here. Good location, excellent service, and great value for the price.

GMEN Fan Its so hard for me to look at Press Pass cards now that they don't have the NCAA license. Missing Helmet logos are an eye sore. They should have taken the Sage road and did pictures of just the players without the helmets. I miss Press Pass in the NCAA world Posted April 7, 2013 at 4:30 am | Permalink
Todd Nelkin to me, all these products are ok, til you get a signed card and the kid just like draws 2 lines and says its signed- so many autos have gotten so bad that the Houston Rockets have a scoreboard feature named- who wrote that – and fans are supposed to guess whos auto that is– my goodness players- its your name, have some pride in your name- i dont expect johnny bench or mickey mantle or bob griese's out there- but being able to read the thing might be nice Posted April 7, 2013 at 10:01 pm | Permalink

EA restores Battlefield Heroes following LulzSec attack
EA has restored service to its free-to-play Battlefield Heroes following last week's attack by now disbanded hacking group, LulzSec. EA issued a statement to Eurogamer: "Service has been restored on Battlefield Heroes following a short hiatus related to a security breach. Our investigation is ongoing, however it appears screen names and encrypted passwords associated with an early beta version of Heroes have been compromised. To the best of our knowledge, it appears that no personal data was compromised – no emails, account history, credit card numbers or payment methods. Any further updates will be posted on this page.

15 of the most unnecessary sequels ever made
Does 'Grown Ups 2' fit the bill?
'Scary Movie 2' (2001)
Sequel to: "Scary Movie" (2000)
Did it kill the franchise: Not even close.
Why it was so unnecessary: The Wayans brothers applied the "Airplane!" spoof formula to post-"Scream" horror films in the surprise 2000 hit, which featured a poster promising "No Mercy. No Shame. No Sequel." So much for promises. The quickly-produced sequel offered more and less of the same, clocking in at a breezy 81 minutes, including credits. Most of the original's principles returned to stumble through increasingly perfunctory spoof scenes, and funny newcomers David Cross and Chris Elliot are given little to do with their brief screen time. But a hit is a hit, and so far, three more sequels have appeared, although the Wayans brothers walked away after this one, allowing "Airplane!" vet David Zucker to take over the assembly line.

Pirates Prospects
Last updated 11/15/14
Duke Welker has been called up to the majors. (Photo Credit: David Hague)
The Pittsburgh Pirates have optioned outfielder Alex Presley to Triple-A and have recalled right-handed reliever Duke Welker, according to Travis Sawchik.
Pirates have optioned Alex Presley, calling up Duke Welker
— Travis Sawchik (@Sawchik_Trib) June 20, 2013
The move was probably made to give the bullpen an extra arm after last night's extra innings game, and with rookie Brandon Cumpton on the mound today. Welker was called up earlier this year, but didn't get in a game. In his last 11 innings he hasn't given up an earned run and has an 8:3 K/BB ratio. On the season in Triple-A he has a 2.78 ERA in 35.2 innings, with a 34:20 K/BB ratio.

Rental car from Eilat to Petra
Many people ask if they can rent a car in Israel, drive to Eilat and then across the border to visit Jordan. Some ask is it safe...
Safe in what sense?
The road is long and tiring, there are many accidents.
Security wise? No problems at all.
You may **not** take a rental car across the border.
The insurance companies don't permit it.
The bus from Jerusalem/Tel Aviv to Eilat is large and comfortable.
There are two rest breaks. From Eilat to the border crossing is a short ride.
Cross the border on foot and take a bus or taxi from Aqaba to Petra.
You can check the bus schedule in English at the URL below.Related to:- Budget Travel

Motor Scooters in Eilat!
A fun way to get around Eilat is via motor scooter - it's a fairly inexpensive alternative to car rental and or taxi service. According to an excellent "local source", these scooters are referred to as "tus tus" in Israel.
I felt very safe driving around on my motor scooter while in the resort area of Eilat. We even drove as far as the border of Egypt (pretty close by).
There's usually a small storage compartment where you can bring along water, small snacks and even your camera. It's perfect for a nice drive along the coast.
You'll find the scooter rentals all over the place. Prices are competitive. -
If you are renting a car and want to drive to Eilat there are 2 ways to come :
The first route is from The Arava road and the second one is from Mitzpe Ramon.
The Arava road is better than Mitzpe Ramon but less scenic , although you can pass the dead sea on your way.
Another thing is that the Arava road is less curvy so a lot of trucks and "Speedy Gonzales" drivers pass here , so Mitzpe Ramon will be a little bit safer for you.
If you will drive from Mitzpe Ramon you will pass Ramon crater and other beautiful landscapes.
While in Eilat you can use your car to go to far attractions like the Underwater observatory or Timna Park and if you are only resting most of the hotels will certainty offer you a parking place for your car.

By Bus
If you don't want to fly and have a few hours and want to see the view of the desert you can take a bus from the central station of Tel Aviv.
The ride will cost you 65 nis and it will take something like 5 hours by en Egged bus
How to get to Eilat by bus
I came to Eilat from Tel-Aviv by bus. It took us about 6 hours to overcome 350 km with a short stop in Ein Boqeq on the Dead Sea. But the ride was rather interesting because I could see the Central and the South districts of Israel out of a bus window. I don't know how much it cost because the transfer was included in the price of my tour.
We used "Boris Tours" as a transfer company.
80 Menachem Begin Road
67138 Tel Aviv, Israel
I finished my trip along Israel in Ovda after I spent three nights in Eilat. It takes only 40 minutes to get to the airport Ovda from Eilat 57 km by bus or by car along the Route #12.
This is the area of the Eilat Mountains Nature Reserve which is very picturesque.
You can watch my 3 min 39 sec HD Video En Boqeq - Eilat out of my Youtube channel.
You can watch my 4 min 11 sec HD Video Israel Eilat-Uvda road . -
The easiest way is to fly to Eilat. Be aware that there are two airports, the city airport just by the city centre (code: ETH) and the international Ovda airport about 70 km away (code: VDA) Because of the city airport short runway heavy load of fuel airlines that needed to fly to Europe uses the Ovda airport which was actually built as IAF base but they added a terminal for commercial flights there soon afterwards when they realize the tourism potential of it.
Currently the Ovda airport serve charter flights from the following countries: UK, France, Finland, Estonia, Poland, Ukraine & Russia. -
Walking around the city
While most of the attractions in Eilat are located on the beach , the best way t oenjoy the city is by walking.
The promenade is very beautiful and you will see the beautiful water and lovely hotels and restaurants.
There are a few places that you should take a car/taxi but those places are not too much (Timna Park , Underwater Observatory)

Rent a car
If you are into driving into the desert, want to visit the Timna park, the Hai-Bar and other desert adventures you should rent a car. I was checking few companies which none is cheap, but the better deal and the good and quick service I got from Shlomo, which is also Sixt agent in Israel. I got nice Mitsubishi with air conditions of course and enjoyed my ride into the desert.
Boat cruise
Like in any coast line city also Eilat has it share of boat cruises for tourist sight seeing. Not my kind of and in many of them when they pass near use it looks to me very messy and noisy, so I am not sure how can anyone enjoy it, but some are with glass floor to enable you watch the sea life under it.
Bus to Taba Border
There is an hourly bus (number 15) to the Taba Border from Eilat Bus Station. This bus leaves on the hour, every hour from 9am. The cost is 5.70shekels and the journey takes just over 20 minutes. The return journey from the Taba Border leaves at approx 20 minutes after every hour.
Please note that on the Shabbat there are much fewer services per day. -
Bus Eilat to Jerusalem
There is a long distance Egged bus every day Sun-Thu at 07:00, 10:00, 14:15 and 17:00 to Jerusalem (number 444). It costs 65 shekels one way. It takes approx 4 hours, with one rest stop en-route. On Fridays, the bus goes at 07:00, 10:00 & 13:00, and on the Shabbat at 16:30 and 19:30.
Often two or three buses leave at the same time on this route. It is worth booking this route in advance as the time that I used it the bus was completely full. There was a group of about 10 people that had to wait for the next bus. -
Oh yeah, like in the rest of the world (at list it seems so) also here that Segway arrived and you can see it somewhere around the promenade. Not that it is really useful for such a small town, but it can be just for the fun of it.
Bus Eilat to Tel Aviv
There is a bus (number 393/394) from Eilat to Tel Aviv approx every 1.5 hours from 5am. The journey takes about 5 hours and costs about 70shekels one way. Again there are reduced journeys on Friday and Saturday.
Flying to Eilat
We arrived by car, but I was surprised to see Eilats airport located right in the center of town. Its served by internal Israelli airlines and charters from Europe.
Fly your own jet
At Eilat local small airport I could spot few private airplanes and even helicopter. So if you happened to have one, that can be also an easy way to drop to Eilat for a sunny weekend :)

In females, a dominant allele can hide the presence of a recessive allele, said Lauren McIntyre, an associate professor of molecular genetics and microbiology in UFs College of Medicine. In contrast to females, which have two X chromosomes, one inherited from each parent, males have only one X inherited only from their mother. This is a simple mechanism that could be working in cooperation with sexual selection to help males evolve more quickly.
Researchers believe this relatively uncomplicated genetic pathway helps males respond to the pressures of sexual selection, ultimately enabling them to win females and produce greater numbers of offspring.
Relationships between gene expression and modes of inheritance have been addressed before, but this study analyzed an extremely large data set that involved most of the genes in the fruit fly genome, said David Rand, a professor of biology at Brown University who was not involved in the study.
This research shows how recessive and dominant traits are important in determining variation in populations, Rand said. The best way to think of it is males play with one card, but females get to play one and hold one. If males have got a good trait, its promoted; something bad, its eliminated. In females you can have a bad card, but a good card can protect it. As a result, females can carry deleterious traits but not express them.
UF scientists analyzed 8,607 genes that are shared by both sexes of a fruit fly called Drosophila melanogaster. Of those genes, 7,617 are expressed differently -- meaning the same genes do different things -- in males and females.
Over the years, fruit fly research has helped scientists understand the role of genes in diseases, development, population genetics, cell biology, neurobiology, behavior and ev
