On Tuesday, this year's busiest team in free agency signed Hasselbeck to a contract. Terms were not immediately released. Analysis: Indy needed a veteran backup after Drew Stanton left for Arizona, where he was reunited with Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. Hasselbeck is a three-time Pro Bowl selection who led Seattle to the Super Bowl in 2005. He was released by Tennessee and didn't stay on the street long after Tennessee released him Monday. |

Analysis: Hasselbeck, 37, spent the past two seasons with Tennessee, leading the Titans to a 9-7 record and just missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker in 2011. He threw for 3,571 yards, the fourth-best passing season in the team's history and the third highest of Hasselbeck's career. |

Healthy & Beautiful GardensDisease in the gardenFriday, August 1st, 2014 Issue 31, Volume 18.
Diseases are quite varied in their symptoms and certain plants are more prone to them than others. Plants are similar to humans, in that if they are not healthy to begin with, theyre usually more prone to getting sick. So, first off, make sure your plants are not suffering due to heat, lack of water, overwatering, lack of sun, too much sun, lack of good soil (compost) or lack of nutrients such as fertilizer. That will typically account for most of your problems. If you think youve provided for your plant as well as you can and youre still seeing problems, lets discuss a few of those here now. Some of the major issues I see typically involve fungus. One of those is mildew, a powdery whitish film on plant. A form of mildew thats common is called "Downy Mildew", or "Black Spot." It looks just like what its called and is typically found on roses. "Rust" is another fungus that loves roses, snapdragons, and several other plants. There are also diseases called "blights", "cankers", "galls", "rots", and "wilts" â these are spread by bacteria, fungus, or viruses, either by host insects, wind, or soil. Typically warm and moist conditions cause the major fungal diseases to flourish. They can infect everything from your fruits and veggies to pine trees and lawns. First and foremost, especially with your fruits and veggies, I suggest trying to purchase "resistant" varieties. Tomatoes are especially prone to many diseases and there are some great varieties out there that are resistant to the major wilts, blights, and fungal diseases you might encounter. If a plant is resistant to certain kinds of fungus, it will state on the label what its resistant to. If the label says "VFNT" that means its resistant to verticillium wilt, fusarium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus and root knot nematodes. You dont want to use chemicals on your edibles, so what can you do? I spray with "Neem oil". I mix 1 tablespoon to a quart of warm water. A teaspoon of mild soap can be added to the mixture also. This works great on many fungal diseases. Sulfur is another great mineral to have handy, as it helps knock Advertisement I also have used Copper sulfate on lawns instead of toxic chemicals when fungal diseases are present. "Brown Spot" is very prevalent around here and people keep watering their lawns thinking they are dying, but the reality is the fungus is doing that and the more you water, the worse your lawn looks. The solution is to spray the lawn with fungicide, or use a copper sulfate "soil drench". There are several other great organic methods of helping eradicating diseases. A good natural solution is baking soda, about 3 tablespoons, and liquid castile soap, about 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water. This works great on plants, but you have to cover all the leaves and stems carefully. Dont spray the plant with the hose or sprinklers for a couple days or youll wash the solution off. I also mix up some Neem oil solution and pour into the ground around the plant, as many diseases are generated below ground. Make sure when youre using old pots with new plants to scrub them out thoroughly; use a little bleach to make sure theyre not carrying any disease spores still. Many insects are disease carriers also, but make sure theyre not beneficial insects before you go killing them. Grasshoppers can carry diseases around, so I let my cat take care of those â keeps her busy for a while and prevents them from chewing up my plants! Top Six suggestions from me on diseases are: 1. Be sure to plant disease-resistant varieties of plants. 2. Healthy plants, good soil, and good compost can all mitigate incidences of disease. 3. Make sure your plants have good air circulation, as this can also help prevent disease. 4. Always disinfect pruners after pruning plants to prevent the spread of fungi and bacteria. 5. Remove all diseased plants and their roots from the garden and do not compost them. Instead, throw them in the trash. 6. Manage and remove insects (aphids, spider mites, etc.) from plants regularly as needed â blast em off with soapy water. Hope Ive addressed an issue that may help you in your garden at this time. If not, feel free to contact me. As always, Im available for consultations and landscape design work.

Fantastic! C. lancifolia? Philo to the left looks cool too. |
hi Here is a pic of the other half that stayed in the pot. Remarkably different?? lol It has gotten over 15 feet in the shadehouse but has never flowered Due to the size I'm thinking princeps comparing to pix on the web but it varies a lot as you can see. The plant on the left is an upright Heliconia hybrid called "sexy pink" lol To the right isthe tip of an australian tree fern Thanks gary |

Some Calatheas do get huge, like C. lutea. |
Hi Any guesses as to why the leaves are so different?? the one in the ground (first pic) is coming up from the ground with yet another leaf pattern most of the last 15 years it has mostly looked like pic #2 If I didn't know better I'd think it two different plants lol I'm leaning toward C. wilsonii from pix on the net. all my calatheas florish this time of year heat humidity and daily rain but none of the others have changed leaf patterns lol Thanks gary |
Hi The one in the pot is also developing leaves like pic one. Also a third pattern will try to post a pic when it opens . Strange that you can own a plant for so long yet not know anything about it lol?? gary |
may be it got rejuvved after division - so it's pushing out new suckers? i think it's very nice - it's a great pattern! may be they'll change when they mature? |

Try Grado SR60s or Sennheiser HD497s (if you can find them). Both are under $100 and both sound great.
No microphone or USB interface though. But I don't see the point of a USB interface unless you have a laptop with a noisy (as in electrical noise) microphone jack.

Ladies have you ever had sex with a black guy?
im white and I've always had a fantasy about having sex with a black guy, I was just curious but like is this a common fantasy, oh and if youve been... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Chelsea, This is a fantasy many girls have and so many fail to go for it and miss out on what could be a great experience. My suggestion is DO IT! I have been sexually involved with black men now for a lot of years and have enjoyed most all of it. As in any sexual thing regardless of race there will be some disappointments along with the many great times. As for the myths I would say most are not as true as they would make you believe. What I do find true is the confindence they have. They have told me this probably comes from the fact that they are just as intreged by having a white girl as we are as having a black guy. For me one of the most extreme highs it the color contrast. After all these years living with these guys I still get butterflies when I am naked with them and can visually see the color contrast. The other thing is they are much better at working it, making sure I am getting as much pleasure as they are getting.I recommend giving it a try.
So are they bigger in the pants or is this myth?
It's basically a myth, but as with any race of guys some do come along with very large sholongs. Can't say that more of the black race has them than any other though!
What Guys Said 13
Well I'm curious to what do you mean by Myths and such things that you wanted answered by a black guy. ( Oh yea if you didn't noticed I'm a black guy ) LOL
I have a question for you. Would you have a relationship with a white girl or you just want them for sex?
I would preferably date.
wow...I say ..stay with your race! white with white...black with black
See, I?m latin. So because people were sensible enough to not do this, we exist.

No, it is not racist to think that sex/marriage ought to be kept within the bounds of the respective races. It would only be racist if DoctorSex's statement had suggested a different standard for the races, such as "white guys can have sex with anyone, but black guys only with black women."
@ DJ_Durrty_un. . . Don't show your ignorance. Sofia Vergara or Eva Mendez ARE white (Caucasian) people. "Hispanic" is an ethnicity, not a race. Ethnic as in people who are from or direct descendents of people from countries who's native language is Spanish. Therefore, a "hispanic" person can be black (Negroid), white (Caucasian), Asian (Mogolian), or mixed-race. Ethicities are people who identify with various cultural and geographic factors, like being "Irish" or "Polish," for example. Races is based on purely genetic issues. So, if a the person you are attacking wanted to have sex with one of those hispanic women you identified, he would NOT be going back on his claim that white people should only hook up with white people.
lol...gotta love snow bunnies. go ahead and spread that fantasy to others
u got to share the sisters then too.
- Show Older Hide Older
Hey, don't use the fear alibi! Share the sisters, dude!
no fear bud. go on ahead
The problem I have with topics like this is it continues the stereotype of black men being sexual beast whether you acknowledge that or not. Also based on the comments some of you seem to think your experience with one black man is going to be the same with every black man. Ladies was every white guy you dated the same, they did all treat you the same way, please you equally? I highly doubt it yet black men all get lumped in the some boat foolishness.
lool flippin hater, ino its hard for you to give black people something...but common...you rob our history, rob our knowledge, robbed our faith and now you wanna completely rob our image...jheeez.
i don't know if this dumbass that commented can see this but someone needs to please inform him that he is the reason racism still exists... thank you
How does having sex with a black person feel? Imagine yourself engaging in a sexual act with a mammal that you have nothing in common with, for purely paraphilic reasons. After the initial high from sleeping with someone that your parents wouldn't approve of sets in and fades away (see teenage angst), you'll realize that its really awkward to be around said person. Then, you'll think to yourself 'maybe I just didn't give them a chance, and I should sleep with them again' or something similar. Then, you'll sleep with them again, and realize 'this is really awkward, and I don't want to do this again'. Here comes the bad part. When white women screw black dudes, they're totally not wanted by white dudes afterward. Why? Because black dudes stick their d***s in everything, and we don't want diseases etc. So, if you're a white woman, don't sleep with black dudes if you want a white guy.
If it is a fantasy of yours then do not miss out, one day you will regret that you did not try it. You never know you just might like it so much that all you do is date black guys from now on. I see no down side for you since if you don't like it just don't do it again. I know allot of girls who was just like you and was very curious and they all tried it and some will only date black guys, some now date all races. Good luck and just go for it
I think a lot of women like to fantasize about black men. I know my wife does. She loves to talk black stuff when we are having sex and I talk back to her making reference to black sex. Some examples, "Pump your black baby seed in me daddy", I answer, "Yes I gonna make you my baby's Momma".
"I gonna plant my seed in your husbands garden. My black balls are full of em"
"Oh Baby, do your Momma now, I gonna milk those black balls good." -
You've got to see for your self. Just choose wisely and as with sex with anybody else wrap it up. I know personally that I love white chicks. I love the sisters too but I don't know there's something hot about the contrast. Call it Jungle Fever:) LOL. I'm multiracial by the way (black/white).
i got jungle fever to bro lol
What Girls Said 26
The only fantasy I've ever had about a black guy was in a dream. So this is what happened...in my dream I was watching p*rn at my grandma's house. There were two girls making out and humping and then all of a sudden the one girl says, "Shorty, get in here!" And a black midget gets in between them. It was really weird and I never want that to actually happen. lol.
Here's the truth about white girls and black guys: Every girl goes through that curiosity/adventure stage. A handful of girls manage to resist the temptation to "sew wild oats" (actually, harvest wild oats, but I digress); the other 90+ percent go through a phase where they get their share of penis. For a few of them, that may mean just doing it with a steady boyfriend who is probably of the same race. For most, it means some combination of steady boyfriends, some "third-date and went all the way" guys, and maybe one or two one-night stand/heat of the moment events; perhaps having sex with 5 to 10 guys before settling down and becoming "nice girls" who find one guy, get married, and live happily ever after.. And for a few at the extreme, they basically turn into total sluts.
I'll address the majority group -- the ones who have been with 5 to 10 then settle down; for most of them, sex with a black guy is one of those adventures they might do at the right moment in time; it is a combination of curiosity and a short-term wild streak that leads to perhaps 50% of girls in this group actually going all the way with a black guy at least one time, and perhaps an additional 10-15% having "only" done oral with a black guy (I have a friend in this category). So, if you are out on a date with a non-virgin girl over 25, there is a better than 50% chance that she's had a black penis inside her vagina before. [The 5-10% that were truly the good girls are probably married by age 25, and thus you won't be dating them; and if you are out with one of the sluts, there's about 95% chance she's done black; so, the odds are better than 50% that any random 25 year old white woman you are out on date with has gone all the way with a black guy at least once; and a 65% chance there's been a black penis in her mouth.] Now, here's the rest of the story -- she probably won't admit it. She knows white guys typically don't want a girl who's done black, so she "forgets" to mention it. -
they were very true. best I've ever had
what was it like if you don't mind me asking, like what exactly made it the best? aha its comments like this that make me so curious
- Show Older Hide Older
wanna know a secret? he like BECUZ YOU ARE WHITE! black men are obsessed with white girls. it is such a status symbol for a black guy to be witha white girl. the initial attraction for him was your white skin. period.
well said Poncho 69. "If I know that you went black..i will never take you back1"
I met two black guys in a club they pestered me for sex I got tipsy so said OK always wanted to see a black guy naked I was not dissapointed sex was great with them they were a tad more aggressive and pushed in deeper than I was use to but they had no probs going down on me and I had no probs doing anything with them I even met up with them a few times after until they asked me to do their mates not into that
you goo girl! lol
i've had a similar fantasy. but I don't think I will ever act upon it. I like the status quo of the white d***.
good to know I'm not the only one that thinks about it lol, why do you fantasize about it, like what does it for you?
i think personally for me its because I know my father would hate it. and it would be something I wouldn't normally do. maybe because its like this "bad boy" idea in my head? haha
go for a steve urkel type and close your eyes lol you won't think he's black then :-P
I had sex with a black guy once in college and it felt like I was being fucked by a horse. Lol. I came within the first minute but dried up after that. That's when it was most painful. I don't recommend unless you're willing to go through some pain. And I have to be honest, I closed my eyes and was imaging I was making love to a hot white guy I had a crush on at the time.
black guys being really good in bed is a myth. black guys having larger organs is a myth. black guys abondaning their families, not being financially secure, and committing a large portion of crime in the united states is a statistical fact. based on this it doesn't appear to be a very good investment. hopefully this black fetish will be a passing phase for you.
well said!
Black guys are different in bed I think. They do have better rhythm, and I've never seen one that had a small d***. They're just more passionate too. I think that the expectation of thinking they'll be better sorta makes them better though. Its like you expect it so that's what its like.
Sex with them is just like sex with anyone else. Their pubes are more coarse and it's weird trying to run your hands through their hair or if he like has chest hair or something. It just feels weird. Their full lips feel better on you, and I wouldn't say they're all big down there but black ones look better than white ones imho. I think they have bigger nut sacks though. Everyone says they won't go down on you but all the ones I know are into it. I guess the attraction is that they're so different. BUT the kind of Black guys that usually get hyped up like thugs are probably not all that in bed. Someone with a me vs the world attitude and a f*** everyone kind of mindset is just gonna be really selfish in bed.
i don't like black guys.
awwwww... who cares, you like who like.. Black guys might not like you either...

...a girl with some brain finally!
whats wrong with black guys? You know what the saying goes once you go black you never back lol
aww why do I see people dissin black guys? lol I've only been w one and I love him to death, despite all his problems. I miss him this question makes me miss him :( anyways, umm yeah he was very big and so good at pleasing me it was so awesome. he was rough w me yet loving at the same time (dont ask how it works) his oral was fantastic I cud come from just that that's how good he is. but hot damn nobody ever did it like he's done it. I looooooooove me some black d*** hahaha! i always fantasized about black guys tho I don't know y but they are just so sexy :)
Ive been with 2 black guys...actually the only 2 guys I've ever been with...my ex..who was 9'...and we had the best sex everrr! he was very good, the only thing he didn't do was go down on me, but he lovedddd head! that bothered me sometimes, but he could make me come in no time with his d**k/fingers...so he made up for it. The 2nd guy had a SMALL d***! prob 5'...he didn't do much for me, but he could go down & was damn good at it. So just like every other race, every guy varies.
I had sex with a black guy and OMG ! I liked it so much,, i think it marked me,, i felt it different, more pasional and more hot,, his skyn and flash,, i don t know,, i felt them hotter on me,, it s so exciting OMG ! And it was suh agood connection,, and the way that he was f.. g me,, uff,,, i loved it and i would like so much to repeat it cause unfortunatelly it was just once... But i will catch bim again ! So it worths to give it a try !
I'm a black man and I've always had this fantasy of having sex with a white girl but never really had an opportunity. Well never knew how to approach. Where and how do i approach a white woman and how do i know if she is into black guys?
I only did it once. He was a friend who I gave in to because he always wanted to try a white girl. It was definitely disappointing. He was maybe average in size. The sex lasted 60 seconds before he pulled out and busted on my stomach, leaving me unsatisfied. Don't believe every stereotype you hear. Myths are usually just that...myths.

WAITSBURG — The Waitsburg-Prescott football team handled the Pilot Rock Rockets here Friday night, winning 35-21 on their home field.
The Rockets jumped out to a 7-0 lead with five minutes remaining in the first quarter, as Pilot Rock's Jason Grosjacques scored on a four-yard run.
The Rockets scored on the ground, but moved the ball up field on two long passes. The 75-yard scoring drive was fueled by a 25-yard bomb to Tanner Doherty and a 24-yard pass to Grosjacques, both from Tyler Simmons.
After the Rockets' touchdown, W-P tried to answer.
Instead, they turned the ball over on downs deep at the 23-yard line.
On the next Rockets possession, Luke Alexenko intercepted a Simmons pass. Then W-P's quarterback, Sterling Eastman, gave back possession on a pick of his own.
Next, the W-P defensive unit pushed the Rockets back and forced them to punt from the end zone. A bad snap over the punters' head caused a safety and made the score 7-2 with 10 minutes left before half.
W-P's defense came up big again with five and a half minutes remaining in the first half. Three W-P defenders fell on a Pilot Rock fumble on their own 3-yard line.
Dalton Estes soon punched it in for the 8-7 scoring advantage.
A 55-yard scoring drive closed the first half for W-P. An Eastman 42-yard pass to Roy Ebong highlighted the march downfield.
In the words of W-P coach Jeff Bartlow, "We had to battle and fight just to get the score to 15-7 at halftime."
The third quarter was even better for Waitsburg-Prescott. It started off slow with a botched field goal, but then rolled into three touchdowns in the stanza.
An Ebong 20-yard punt return, two Billy Brown halfback running plays, and W-P was in for the score to lead 22-7 with four and a half minutes in the third quarter.
Another quick stop for the W-P defense led to a punt and a 51-yard scoring drive for the home team. It was capped by a 16-yard touchdown pass from Eastman to Chance Leroue.
The second interception of the game for Waitsburg-Prescott followed. This one was by Ebong.
W-P's defense was credited with three picks, one fumble recovery and a safety in the victory.
The score going into the fourth quarter was 35-7 home team.
"We really ran effectively on first down in the second half," Bartlow said. "That was the key to our great third quarter. That third quarter was the best that we've had in awhile.
"Another adjustment that we made after halftime was rolling our quarterback out a lot to avoid pressure and pass. Our quarterback also ran the option well when rolling out. We mixed in the draw play effectively, as well."
The Rockets outscored W-P 14-0 in that fourth quarter, scoring on a 57-yard drive with 4:40 remaining and then bombin away from 52 yards away up the right sideline for a touchdown with 38 seconds remaining.

Almedalen Week
The Almedalen Week (Almedalsveckan, sometimes also called Politikerveckan i Almedalen) is an annual event taking place in week 27 in and around Almedalen,[1] a park in the city of Visby on the Swedish island Gotland.
With speeches, seminars and other political activities, it is considered to be the most important forum in Swedish politics. During the week, representatives from the major political parties in Sweden take turns to make speeches in Almedalen.[1] Almost 3,400 activities were scheduled in 2014[2] and about 700 journalists[3] were accredited with around 25 000 participants[4] and 50 000 visitors.[citation needed]
It has inspired similar events to take place. For example Arvamusfestival in Estonia.
The origin of the Almedalen Week is the speeches made by Olof Palme every summer in Almedalen in Visby, beginning in 1968.[5] The first official Almedalen Week took place in 1982, when the Social Democrats started to organise economic seminars.[5] As a response, the other political parties started to take a more active part.
In recent years, the event has grown larger, with hordes of journalists, lobbyists, local and national politicians and representatives of non-governmental organisations all coming to Visby to meet, discuss politics and socialize.
Almedalen Week visitor Dennis Kucinich commented:
When you see the kind of internecine conflict that happens in the United States— the partisan divide, the dichotomous thinking, the separation from each other—there is a different thing happening here in Sweden at Almedalen, which is a sense of a common bond as citizens with a common purpose for the nation. And people come together here. And the thing that impresses me is how quickly on the street you can get into the deepest discussions that have consequence. And so, that's why—you know, having been here only for two days, I've had a chance to meet people from every level of society, decision makers as well as citizens, and there's a sense that things matter in these kind of discussions, which are direct, relatively low-key, nonconfrontational, matter-of-fact. And behind it is— what animates it is a sense of commitment to each other and to the nation.

A few production stills from Mischa's upcoming role in Mining for Ruby have been added. The film also stars Billy Zane and Jonathan Bennett.
Jack (Daniel Ponickly, "Mona Lisa Smile", "Raw Cut") is a widower struggling with his continued depression as he falls for Ruby (Antoinette Kalaj, "Riddick", "Don Jon"), a passionate environmental engineering grad student who is embroiled in a poisonous waste controversy. Due to the encouragement of his sister (Mischa Barton, "The OC", "The Sixth Sense"), Jack finally leaves his Alaskan cabin for the first time in months and meets Ruby, only to be confronted by her crazed ex-boyfriend, Andrew (Jonathan Bennett, "Mean Girls", "Van Wilder"). Against the warnings of her mentor – Prof. Goodwell (Billy Zane, "Titanic", "Big Kiss") – Ruby exposes the city to an environmental crisis, thrusting her grant funding – along with her doctoral research trip – into jeopardy. As their friendship blooms into something deeper, Ruby and Jack discover that love can be found anywhere, even in Alaska.
Check out this incredible new trailer for Mischa's upcoming role in A Prayer for Rain. The film is inspired by the real events surrounding the tragic Bhopal disaster. Mischa's co-stars are Martin Sheen and Kal Penn.
Press play on the photo above to view.
In 1945 Union Carbide Corporation helped build the atomic bomb. In 1984 they built a time-bomb…
Starring Martin Sheen, Mischa Barton, Kal Penn and a powerful ensemble cast, "Bhopal A Prayer For Rain" is an epic, 'whodunnit' that exposes the shocking events that led to the biggest man made industrial disaster in history, in which as many as 10,000 people were killed in one night and for those that did survive, the tragedy had just begun.
Dilip, a rickshaw driver in Bhopal, India, lands himself a job at the Union Carbide plant. It is a chance to prove his worth to his family and pull them out of poverty. The job is tough with long hours; everyone is desperate to hold on to their pay cheque and so Dilip keeps quiet when he notices managers at the plant ignoring safety standards.
Dilip's long time friend, Motwani, a tabloid journalist knows that Bhopal residents complain of the constant stench in the air and wake up at night choking from the gas. He is on a mission to expose what he believes is a deadly time bomb ticking away in his home town. He feels as if no one will listen but when he meets feisty American journalist, Eva, he sees a ray of hope and persuades her to confront Carbide executive Warren Anderson.
As Eva and Motwani endeavour to delve deeper into Carbide's activities, Dilip is using every resource necessary to pay and plan for his sister's wedding. When the wedding night arrives the family are full of joy and celebration as two families join together as one. But as the music plays an invisible catastrophe is working its way throughout the town and wedding party. One by one the guests start to feel unwell the largest tower at the Carbide plant spews poisonous gas into the night air; one by one they collapse; and one by one they unknowingly become a statistic in the world's largest chemical disaster to date.
Nearly thirty years later as the plant stands as a ghost-like constant reminder, the water in Bhopal is still contaminated and one person a day dies as a direct result of the tragedy, Eva visits the now retired Anderson. Will he finally bow down and apologise? Or will he continue to deny that Carbide had any part to play…?
A disaster that set a deadly precedent for multinational corporate activity in the developing world and revealed a poisonous corruption at the heart of India, the world's largest democracy – this is a story that demands to be seen.
I posted about Mischa's involvement in this film in the development update a few days ago, but now the role is excitingly receiving some proper press courtesy of Variety.
And how awesome are the pictures showcased above of Mischa's transformation into other memorable icons from the glory days of Hollywood and beyond. We can't wait to see Mischa transformed into Jean Harlow.
Here is the story:
Mischa Barton has been cast as Jean Harlow in the biopic "By Love Reclaimed" for ThunderBall Films and Mania Entertainment.
Nuala Barton and Mario Domina are producing "By Love Reclaimed." Adrian Finkelstein and Valerie Fanich will exec produce.
The script, written by Finkelstein, centers on the 1932 scandal in which MGM producer and Harlow's husband Paul Bern was found shot to death in their Benedict Canyon Home — two months after Harlow had married him.
Harlow, one of the biggest stars of the 1930s, died in 1937 of kidney failure.
Barton, who is currently in London filming "The Hoarder," recently wrapped the indie feature "Starcrossed." She is repped by Artist International and Adam Trahan.
Check out the first teaser trailer from Mischa's upcoming role in Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard. The film also stars Billy Zane and Dee Wallace.
Press the play button above to view.
The town of Elwood is a small, rural collection of colorful characters tended to by "Doc" a physician who looks out for the well being of the town and sees the community as his patient.
Seiler, a war veteran trains a group of 20 something's in paintball skirmish strategy as a practice for real weapon and militia training. It is an eclectic team of young men and women with Brody seeing potential in trainee Ian Sommers.
The town is enclosed wide fencing that stretches miles around its perimeter. What lies beyond the fence is something awful, in the deep forests surrounding the town. Humans die but keep moving & shamble the landscape looking to spread their infection in a grisly, horrific way. The community is guarded by a band of young people raised since children to be military combatants. Under the leadership of vet Seiler (Billy Zane), they are known by the community as "Zombie Killers" a negative term used behind their backs.Ian Sommers tends to his dying mother Sharon (Dee Wallace) while having a semblance of normal life with girlfriend Nikki (Gabrielle Stone).
Rory Gower and his young wife Toni (Mischa Barton) search for a reason behind the plague while Seiler and his Young soldiers discover something far worse coming For Elwood. Something that may target them or put them in the way of an "Elephant's Graveyard" and Hell.
Just wanted to do a quick wrap-up of all the movies currently in development with Mischa attached. As we've learnt over the years, in development doesn't mean that a film is moving forward to production, so just think of them all as strictly possibilities.
A renegade Moscow detective defies government pressure to investigate the assassination of the mysterious assassination of a maverick reporter, who covered the Chechen war.Knockout
A young woman, distraught from witnessing the murder of her parents as a child, develops her own unique martial art by playing video games. It's because of this she suddenly finds herself embroiled in the world of underground fighting.Butterfly Love

She soon shares a mutual physical attraction with Jean-Pierre, an unsuccessful French painter working in an antique shop.

In her search for answers she finds herself locked in the facility, imprisoned in a maze of endless corridors. She reaches her fiancé's lock-up, but the secret she uncovers is something far worse than she had ever imagined. People have been held captive, some tortured for years, and in order to survive Ella must join forces with them. But whoever, or whatever, is responsible for holding them there slowly picks them off one by one as they desperately attempt to escape the cavernous lair.Phantasmagoria

Also includes DragonMan: Face of the Unknown and DragonMan and the Poseidon Encounter
Teenager Luke Starr appears to be living a rather dull uneventful life in Milwaukee, Wisconsin until his friends go missing and leads him into a mysterious dark world and confrontation with a nameless, faceless mysterious dark force.Backsliding
A former live-in boyfriend and girlfriend, backslide into the horrible sex-based relationship they had. They part as friends having learned what they really want out of a relationship.Of Love and Evil
Chilling, archetypal, epic love story about an infamous pact made between a young woman and the devil in the sixteenth century that plays out today against the backdrop of social media.A Study in Red: The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper (trilogy)
Also includes Legacy of the Ripper and Requiem for the Ripper
This dark psychological thriller tells of the incredible and terrifying events that surround psychiatrist Robert Cavendish when he inherits a decrepit, yellowed journal from his family. The journal appears to have been written by the infamous Whitechapel murderer, who terrorized the streets of the East End of London in 1888. Filled with dramatic imagery and an underlying sense of foreboding and danger, this compelling novel will certainly lend itself well to the transformation from page to screen.By Love Reclaimed
Jean Harlow returns to clear husband's name – On July 2, 1932, after a three year secret love affair, MGM producer, Paul Bern marries screen icon Jean Harlow. Two months later, he is found shot to death in their Benedict Canyon Home.
Check out this short interview of Mischa talking about her upcoming role in Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard.
Check out the full synopsis for Mischa's upcoming satirical horror flick L.A. Slasher. The film also stars Eric Roberts, Dave Bautista, Danny Trejo, Brooke Hogan and Drake Bell.
L.A. SLASHER is a satirical take on the horror genre set against the celebrity obsessed world of modern day Los Angeles. The biggest stars, on the hugest billboards are stars of Reality TV, or people who have found fame through the masses of social media. Famous for being famous, a concept that has sent one person to their breaking point….
Los Angeles is running wild with speculation over the mysterious abduction of a famous reality TV star. The speculation grows into fear as she is discovered wandering the Hollywood hills after an apparent brutal stabbing. Responsibility is claimed by a mysterious stranger calling themselves the LA Slasher. The confession is made on Twitter and Instagram accounts, whose followers immediately start to increase as the revelation is announced on the news.
After weeks of lead up, I Will Follow You Into the Dark has now hit cinemas and VOD in the US. I hope some of you have been lucky enough to watch this on the big screen, but for the rest of us, you can access the movie On Demand right now. Visit iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, VUDU or the Blockbuster On Demand App to rent the movie. Please support Mischa and this indie release romantic horror.

I purchased this pen...
Verified Purchase
I purchased this pen based purely on aesthetics. On the website, this pen has a
most beautiful red hue without being flashy and I was most anxious to try a
fountain pen with an "extra fine" nib. I must say, I am very disappointed in
this pen. Packaging aside (it came in a retro style tin canister), I cannot
recommend this fountain pen.
I am a lover of all things related to fountain pens; bottled ink, a fine nib and when appropriate ink cartridges but the Kaweco Allrounder Fountain pen broke the spell! The nib is very scratchy on paper and I tried various mediums to test delivery. Even on my fine journaling paper, this knib was scratchy and did not deliver ink flow, no matter how the pen was held. I purchased J. Herbin's Limited Edition Red ink to use with my pen and delivery of ink was poor to non-existent. I switched out to the ink cartridge that came with this pen to see if flow or nib feel would improve and I must say there was absolutely no difference. Now, by comparison, I also purchased an inexpensive sailor extra fine nib fountain pen and would you believe I popped in the cartridge and away it went. This cheaper pen's nib felt far less scratchy, performed without a glitch and so far so good! I love the look, weight and feel of the Kaweco Allrounder fountain pen, but as for performance, I cannot recommend it. I may simply have gotten that one rotten apple in the bunch but all it takes is that one to ruin it! I may simply purchase a replacement nib and see if there is a difference in performance but for the price of this pen, I should not have to do this. :-( 9 people found this helpful

Is anyone else worried that telling plants to suddenly stop absorbing as much C02 might just be a bad thing?"Researchers in Finland and the United States say they have discovered a gene that controls the amount of carbon dioxide a plant absorbs. It also controls the amount of water vapour it releases into the atmosphere. This information could be important for food production and in regulating climate change. In extremely dry weather, a plant can lose 95% of its water in this way.
The most colossal structures in the universe have been detected by astronomers who tuned into how the structures subtly bend galactic light. The newfound filaments and sheets of dark matter form a gigantic features stretching across more than 270 million light-years of space — three times larger than any other known structure and 2,000 times the size of our own galaxy. Because the dark matter, by definition, is invisible to telescopes, the only way to detect it on such grand scales is by surveying huge numbers of distant galaxies and working out how their images, as seen from telescopes, are being weakly tweaked and distorted by any dark matter structures in intervening space.

Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) —
One LSU class took action today near campus to help keep students safe through a flash mob.
A LSU Communication Study class gathered together, dressed in white, marched up and down East Boyd near Tigerland carrying signs. The reason for the flash mob: getting better side walks and bike paths in that area.
Flash mob participant Brandy Thomas said, " We need a safe place where we can be. We need a safe side walk area. We need a sidewalk area for bikes as well. You never know a car could be distracted for a a second and end up hitting someone."
On October 13 two people were hit by a car on East Boyd around one in the morning sending them to the hospital.

A third round of economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve is "almost a done deal," Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Bill Gross said in an interview on CNBC.
Gross, manager of the world's largest bond fund at Newport Beach, California-based Pimco, wrote yesterday in a Twitter posting that released Fed minutes were "front-end curve friendly" and that a third round of quantitative easing, or QE3, is an 80 percent probability.
"It's almost a done deal," Gross said today on CNBC. "Eighty percent doesn't say that, but it's close."
Gross said in the interview that investors should buy what the central bank will purchase and affect, including mortgage securities.

Resin: cupressocyparis a defunct name? (Should actually be x Cupressocyparis) |
Yep - Nootka Cypress is now (following genetic analysis) classified as Cupressus nootkatensis (not in Chamaecyparis any more). That means both parents of Leyland Cypress are in the same genus, so the hybrid is also now named Cupressus Ă— leylandii. Resin |
Or maybe X xanthocupressus x xanthocupressus leylandii Xanthocyparis does not fit well into cupressus Chris Page |
"Xanthocyparis does not fit well into cupressus" Actually, it does; it is nested within it (i.e., treating "Xanthocyparis" separately leaves Cupressus paraphyletic: some Cupressus are more closely related to "Xanthocyparis" than they are to other Cupressus). See Mao et al., New Phytologist 188 (1): 254-272 (2010). So Xanthocyparis needs to be ditched as well. Resin |

Most people pronounce botanical Latin as Latin Vulgate, or Catholic Church Latin. The classical Latin of ancient Romans was pronounced differently. For example, the Latin vulgate pronunciation for maple (acer) would be a-ser but it would be a-ker in classical Latin. I have never heard anyone pronounce it a-ker. I have been puzzling over Thuja myself. I've been pronouncing it as thu-ja, but a nurseryman recently called it thu-ya when speaking to me. I was quite surprised. I thought he was mispronouncing it by giving it a Spanish pronunciation, especially since the online American Heritage Dictionary distinctly says thu-ja. But if it is a word of Greek origin, perhaps he was right, and the dictionary and I are both wrong. It does seem to be a point of much confusion. You could probably get away with either pronunciation. Rosefolly |
"Most people pronounce botanical Latin as Latin Vulgate, or Catholic Church Latin" Not sure that's true. William T Stearn, author of the standard work Botanical Latin, recommends Classical Latin pronunciation as the most likely to be understood. "I have never heard anyone pronounce it a-ker" Actually "Ak-air", which is how I pronounce Acer ;-) Resin |

The discussion reminds me of a story from my grad school days. One of the professors was an Asian fellow named Dr. Hu. When he first introduced himself he pronounced his name "Dr. Hugh", and that was how I subsequently referred to him. One day when talking about him with several of the other students, I was asked why I said his name that way since everyone else pronounced his name "Dr. Who". When I replied that that was how he himself pronounced his name so it had to be correct, I was informed that he only said it that way because of his accent. I thought this was a very funny statement but the other student was in earnest, the implication being that since I do not speak with a Chinese accent I should say the name the right way, "Dr. Hu". To this day, it still makes me chuckle to think of the student who believed that Dr. Hu prounced his own name wrong. Alex |
Maybe Dr. Hu mispronounced his name deliberately so people wouldn't think he was a Time Lord? ;-) |
I was looking at a nootkatensis at a nursery last week, labeled as Chamaecyparis. Wouldn't a nursery be aware of the name change to Cupressus, 3+ years later? I tend to be a bit fanatical about pronoucing the latin correctly and always heard 'Chamaecyparis' pronounced: 'Kam ee SIPP a ris' as opposed to 'Kam ay kipper iss'. There's an audio @ the hort.uconn.edu site that also pronounces it like the former. Perhaps both ways are correct? Never a dull moment when it comes to linguistics. |

I have a habit of saying things incorrectly...that comes from reading a lot more than I listen. In other words, I see a lot of words in print, that I cannot recall ever having heard them pronounced by someone. Then someone, usually my wife, eventually corrects me. I guess I need to get out more. |

"I was looking at a nootkatensis at a nursery last week, labeled as Chamaecyparis. Wouldn't a nursery be aware of the name change to Cupressus, 3+ years later?" Regrettably, not necessarily. It commonly takes the nursery industry anything from 20-50 years to catch up with the results of botanical research. Basically, it seems you have to wait for the old-timers to retire and be replaced by new staff at the top. Resin |

My Tangerine, Orange, Sansma and Lime trees are not producing fruit but I have had flowering. The last buds were lost during the summer heat wave. My Lime tree in particular produces a lot of flowers, 25 plus, but no fruits yet. All the trees are five years old.
I've considered amending the soil around each tree. Note: Location has good sunlight, drainage, soil and fertilization. Any suggestions??? My Lemon and Kumquat perform well. I picked over 80 Kumquat last year. Too, I had 13 lemons before the extreme heat. |
Follow-Up Postings:
citrus will shed fruit or not produce at all if conditions are not favorable. If they are healthy I would think you have given them all they want. You should get another round of flowers this spring. I always aid in pollination by either using a small brush or even giving the limbs a few taps every day to help shake some pollen. Five of my trees are full of flowers right now in the greenhouse and with out bees or other pollinators Im not sure how much fruit I will get. mike |
Mike. Thanks for the info. Weather here on the gulf coast (Biloxi, MS) has been varied. Hopefully, conditions will be favorabe. |

Summary: In what has become a landmark of American history and literature, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl recounts the incredible but true story of Harriet Jacobs, born a slave in North Carolina in 1813. Her tale gains its importance from her descriptions, in great and painful detail, of the sexual exploitation that daily haunted her life--and the life of every other black female slave.
As a child, Harriet Jacobs remained blissfully unaware that she was a sla ...show moreve until the deaths of both her mother and a benevolent mistress exposed her to a sexually predatory master, Dr. Flint. Determined to escape, she spends seven years hidden away in a garret in her grandmother's house, three feet high at its tallest point, with almost no air or light, and with only glimpses of her children to sustain her courage. In the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, she finally wins her battle for freedom by escaping to the North in 1842.
A powerful, unflinching portrayal of the brutality of slave life, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl stands alongside Frederick Douglass's classic autobiographies as one of the most significant slave narratives ever written.
