Okay, in reading the new issue of Booklist I started to see something really odd among several of the new adult titles. Take a look at this:
Huge by James Fuerst, Crown. (Starred Review): "The name is "Huge," or so Eugene Smalls insists. But folks persist in applying the diminutive, since the 12-year-old is the smallest boy in his sixth-grade class. Small but mean. And tough. And hard-boiled. Just like his hero, Philip Marlowe. The wannabe detective is thrilled when his grandma hires him to find out who has defaced the sign at her retirement home. But Huge has, ahem, huge problems—anger management being only one—and his investigations may take him to dark places he'd rather not visit."
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, Delacorte. (Starred Review): "Sweetness introduces a charming and engaging sleuth who is only 11 years old. Flavia is one of three precocious and extremely literate daughters being raised by English widower Colonel de Luce in 1950. Flavia's passion is chemistry (with a special interest in poisons). She is able to pursue her passion in the fully equipped Victorian laboratory in Buckshaw, the English mansion where the de Luce family lives. The story begins with a dead snipe (with a rare stamp embedded on its beak) found on the back doorstep. This is followed by a dead human body in the garden and, later, by a poisonous custard pie. Revelations about the mysterious past of Colonel de Luce complicate matters. Others supporting players include the housekeeper, Mrs. Mullet, and the gardener, Dogger, who suffers from shell shock. When Colonel de Luce is arrested for murder, it's up to Flavia to solve the mystery. "
The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan, Canongate: "Every night in her dreams, Gwenni flies high above her Welsh village, looking at the lives unfolding beneath her and hearing the earth's melodic hum. The sky is her sanctuary until one night the 12-year-old sees something puzzling and deeply disturbing. The very next day Ifan Evans, the chapel deacon and husband of Gwenni's teacher, mysteriously goes missing. Intrigued, Gwenni decides to turn detective and determine the man's whereabouts."
The Selected Works of TS Spivet by Reif Larsen, Penguin (Starred Review): "The son of a laconic Montana rancher and a noted, if absentminded, coleopterist, 12-year-old prodigy Tecumseh Sparrow Spivet draws diagrammatic maps (e.g., zoological, geological, topographical) as well as maps of people shucking corn or chopping wood, drainage patterns, and a city's electricity grid usage. The Smithsonian has been accepting illustrations, schematics, charts, and maps from T. S. for some time when Mr. Jibsen calls him to say that T. S. has won the prestigious Baird Award for the popular advancement of science and is invited to D.C. to give a speech. Thus begins T. S.'s odyssey, and a surreal, mind-bending one it is, for sure."
So does anyone see a pattern here? Each one of these books (three of them starred reviews!) were published for adult readers. It used to be that we talked about teen protagonists crossing over to adult readers (Hello Blue Van Meer) but this - this is really interesting. What is it that makes eleven and twelve year olds so suddenly appealing to adults? Is it just the assumption that sex or romance won't be part of the plots and the authors can focus on other things? I'm reading T.S. Spivet right now and enjoying it quite alot but so far I can't see why the protagonist has to be twelve - he could just as easily be sixteen. (I'm thinking the Smithsonian would be just as freaked to find out a high school kid was making their art.) I understand authors are writing the books that they want to write and not worrying so much about audience when they write them and choose their protags (I do believe Colson Whitehead on that score) but am I missing something or is there a serious juvenile trend going on here? I mean YA/adult crossovers are one thing but MG/adult crossovers? That's getting weird.
I mean really.
I"m not saying that adults can't enjoy a book with a child protagonist - we all know and love Tom Sawyer and Scout and all those other classics that have stood the test of time and that's great. But this whole teen trend thing that seemed such a big deal with Special Topics in Calamity Physics is starting to look like vamp novels look in YA. In other words these preternaturally smart children are starting to crop up everywhere and I wish I knew why. Do we really need 12 year olds to solve crime now? I know there are some wickedly smart kids out there (they show up later as adults commenting on blogs with claims that they read Lord of the Rings when they were like five) but most of the ones I have known are overly concerned about having the right shoes, watching their favorite shows and whining about everything. Lately my eleven year old niece cares only about texting her friends and asking them what they are doing. No one is ever doing anything but they still feel compelled to ask each other constantly. (And she can't even go to the local Fred Meyers alone so solving crime seems a bit beyond her capabilities.)
I would not want anyone in her group to be responsible for clearing me of murder charges.
I guess what you have here are characters that are deemed by someone to be too smart for readers their own age, apparently not sexy or smart assed enough for readers a couple of years older, but so quirky they endear themselves to adult readers who want to reminisce about the child they think they were. For the record I like TS Spivet because I am a big fan of maps and illustrated novels. (See Barbara Hodgson's titles for more examples.) I am not pursuing my literary childhood ideal. I swear. Really. (REALLY!)
But what the heck is everybody doing reading these books? And who decides that liking these books makes you literary but admiring Gilda Joyce makes you an adult who refuses to grow up? (There's a new Gilda novel out next week by the way - The Dead Drop. I haven't heard a thing about this one until I saw it in Booklist where it got a very positive review.) I don't even care who they are written for anymore, now I'm more into the marketing. It's like the dumbing down of America's juveniles or something - all the really smart kids have to be in books written for adults.
Okay, that's not true but still, I wish I knew how child protags for adults vs child protags for children are chosen. It almost makes me want to read all of these books just to see what they've got in common. Almost but not quite. Maybe I'll just wait and see what wunderkid novels show up in the next issue of Booklist. There better not be any seven year olds...I have one of those of my own and believe me, it won't work, I don't care how quirky the kid is.


text: Going UndergroundGraeme Harker had been working for Green and McCahill for 23 years when he thought it was time to do something for himself. BY ROB CRABTREE It was 1980 when Graeme Harker decided to go it alone. At the time he was working for Green and McCahill on contracts in the South Island. He handed in his notice, borrowed $65,000 and bought a Euclid motorscraper. He put the machine on a 12-month contract with the Ministry of Works and ended up staying for four years, "and that was the start of my contracting", he says. Having acquired the taste for the business he then bought a couple of old International diggers and went drainlaying in Auckland. "Bloody old things they were, useless really, but they were cheap! So I started tendering jobs – my two sons, Phillip and Michael, and a couple Dalmation stone masons working with me. We went putting up block walls over the North Shore – anything that was going. It was very easy to tender and win jobs at that time – not like it is today." He put a tender in for his first big contracting job in the Wairau Valley. His price: $100,000, the next lowest tender was $150,000. He agonised over his price – reworked it overnight thinking he'd got it wrong, but finally decided it was fine. He did the job with a couple of trucks and diggers, and came out with about $50,000 profit. Harker couldn't really believe it, but he'd been on the digger himself, keeping an eye on things – a lesson in itself. In 1987, the fledging contracting business got caught like so many others, with a firm going under owing them nearly six figures. "I got into a situation where I owed creditors about $250,000. But I went round to all of them and said, 'this is what has happened, I'll pay you out, just give me time'. I went and saw them every month to let them know I was still there." He earned himself a reputation along the way as someone that could be trusted. It took him a couple of years to pay off the debts. During this time he met accountant Rod Cooke and asked him to sort out the operation's finances. Twenty years on Cooke is still the company's financial adviser. Harker Earthmoving, as it was called then, was mainly working on open trench drainage jobs. "The late Micky O'Hern was doing all the jacking at that time and did a job for us in Mt Albert – he supplied the gear and the know-how and we supplied the manpower. Then another pipejacking job came up for tender and I said to my son Michael, let's price this ourselves. It was for 150 metres of 1050 pipe – very small pipe!" When they looked at the pricing of sub-contractors and what the risk factor would be in money terms, the two decided they would build their own rig to do the job. They bought some hydraulic rams from Hugh Green, which they are still using, and Belchers Engineering in Pukekohe built the rig. They also bought some other secondhand gear such as compressors. "We worked 24 hours a day in two shifts to keep the pipe moving, because we didn't really know what we were doing. But we gave it a go and it worked! It was our first project and the MOW were surveying it. We had to get it right because there was a pipe already laid. It was through 95 metres of bloody hard Waitemata sandstone. "The surveyor came and measured it, and said 'you're out'. Well that sent a cold shiver down my back. 'How far?' I asked. And he said, 'you're out by a millimetre, so I think we'll leave it there'." Harker says no one really knew about pipe-jacking then, but he had always adopted a 'can-do' attitude. So he decided to look around the world and see what more they could learn, because it was obviously a direction the market was heading. Michael Harker travelled overseas to conferences and looked at jobs to see what different machines could do. "We were promoting pipe jacking to the consultants, suggesting they should go under roads rather than through. A few years on, Transit said no more digging up motorways and roads. We were away." The name of the company was changed to Harker Underground Construction when the main thrust of the business moved underground. It now trains its own staff as well as picking up qualified people from overseas. "People are important," says Harker. "We have some really good people – a mix of Kiwis, Tongans, Rumanians, Brits and various others. We were lucky when the Manapouri job finished – there were some good staff there who wanted to stay in tunnelling, so we employed them. "The skill of a really good tunnel driver is to have the feel of the machine. Not to see anything, because if it's closed up front you can't, but to feel it. To lift it up or down 10 minutes before it's required – just a millimetre or so – Phillip Harker and Leigh Bishop have that feel – it's a great skill." Harker is unashamedly old school when it comes to values, hard work, trust, quality all the way. "When we were open cutting, I was always pretty fussy on putting the right material in and doing the right job. It's the only way you could continue to get work. We've had our muck-ups, but we learned from them. Now we're working to small tolerances – five to 10 mills is all." He's blunt when to comes to the question of why Harker Underground Construction has grown into the successful operation it is today. "Quite frankly we've had the balls to take the risks and get the job done. I believe we've earned our reputation. Anyone could go out and buy a digger and a truck when it was open cut. But not now. It's a niche market and we've stuck with it. The company employs about 40 staff, operating from its yard in Papakura and has plant and equipment valued in the millions of dollars. Now 68, Graeme Harker is quick to acknowledge that his wife Janice has also been a critical part of the support team that has made the company what it is today. "She's supported me and trusted me through the good and bad times. We still take risks, but it's a young people's game now. "I've probably been successful because I am a risk taker. I put everything on the line and I think that's the success. If you're not game to have a go, step past your failures and keep going, then you won't make it." The company is still growing and Harker says there is plenty of work available. "The infrastructure of some of our councils has fallen 20 years behind. You can grow to the limit here, I know. It's a high-risk game – but if you do a good job properly, get the trust of the councils you're going to survive." Contractor Vol.31 No.7 August 2007 |

The spa: Rogner Bad Blumau
Green peace: Channel the old European tradition of a holiday dedicated to bathing at the quirky Rogner Bad Blumau spa, which appears to have grown from the grassy hills that cover and envelop it. Inspired by well-known Austrian architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, whose biomorphic work has been compared to Gaudí's, the property is a Seussian wonderland of green (as in eco) roofs, spires, and brightly painted facades. The hub is the central, circular spa known for its milk, saffron, and honey treatments, though the series of outdoor baths are equally popular. Water for the restorative treatments comes from the Vulkania curative spring; known as the warmest and most highly mineralized source in the region, the water self-purifies through its high carbon-dioxide content. Hundertwasser believed in "life in harmony with nature," so electricity and heat for the spa is derived from the same healing waters, using geothermal technology. Operating solely on green energy has the same effect as removing 2,700 cars from the streets each year. A portion of each night's stay is donated to a World Wildlife Fund project to protect almost 100,000 acres of Amazonian rainforest. In spite of all these earthly concerns, the hotel's playful design keeps the mood both light and relaxing.
Signature treatment: During the relaxing Blumau Sound Massage, a therapist places brass bowls on the body and then hits them to create resonant vibrations deep within ($130). Live instruments are played for a polyphonic experience.

What's Your Dream Company?
I was just going through the sign up process of Poachable to see how they approach the user experience, given there are some high level similarities between hidden inventory of employees that are only poachable by the right trusted companies/roles and the hidden inventory of places to stay, only available within highly trusted networks (what we are focused on at Horizon). Here's the first screen: What's my dream company? That's a tricky one. I of course know my email, and that my dream role would either be VP of Business Development or Product (or CEO) — but when it comes to my dream company, I really have no idea.

Mass Automation and the Lack of Human Interaction
I wrote about Fatdoor's recent announcement they are relaunching social networks for neighborhoods, with shared robots as a part of the offering. Since then, I've engaged in a 45 minute talk with a high school friend, some Skype debate with Will Moyer, and a 20 minute conversation over coffee yesterday with a fellow entrepreneur in the real estate vertical. The topic: what are the long term implications of mass automation? There are two big ones, in my opinion. De-humanization of day to day life, and economic. We all know that Uber is going to put self driving cars on their transportation grid. I'm not sure Lyft will take that plunge (their tag line is "Your friend … Continue reading
Live at Slane Castle
For the first time in over a year, I'm watching the Red Hot Chili Peppers DVD, Live at Slane Castle (affiliate link). It's my favorite DVD of all time. And, hands down, it's the best investment I've ever made. $15 in 2003 or 2004, and I've watched it at least 100 times over the years. Probably more. It was the default choice for entertainment after parties at my fraternity. And on off nights, well we watched it then too. Post college, we'd turn it on after the bars. If you like the Chili Peppers, buy it. Now. And even if you aren't a diehard RHCP fan, buy it anyway. It'll be the best $9 you've ever spent. … Continue reading

Bill Gates Gets In On 'Nerd Facebook'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When I first heard about ResearchGate, the German social network start-up aimed at scientists, my first reaction was "Cool. Nerd Facebook."
Well, guess how you can connect with ResearchGate, right through the home page? Facebook (FB).
Beyond using the larger company's database to expand their own reach, however, the two companies have little in common. Anyone can join Facebook. ResearchGate members have to be vetted through the publication of papers.
ResearchGate is newsworthy today because Bill Gates joined its latest $35 million Series C funding round, alongside Tenaya Capital and two other funds,
according to TechCrunch .
Competitor Academia.edu, which also coordinates data through Facebook, actually has more members, almost 3.4 million, against ResearchGate's 2.9 million, but it has only gone through a Series A funding round of $4.5 million. Both companies prefer to be compared with LinkedIn (LNKD).
The two also define their markets somewhat differently -- Academia.edu encourages the sharing of raw data and is open to all academics, while ResearchGate claims it already has half the world's scientific researchers on its membership roles. What's most exciting is how sites like ResearchGate encourage global collaboration among members. Two examples from today's news:
ReadWrite noted the grad student in the Phillippines who posted his failed formula for getting energy from waste oil on the site, then a Spanish scientist
found a tweak that made the formula work.
AllThingD writes about how an Italian researcher with equipment but no samples met a Nigerian with samples but no equipment on the site, and how they've published papers about a new, deadly form of yeast
on ResearchGate itself.
The point for Gates, and for some of the other big-name backers of ResearchGate, is to reduce friction among researchers, encourage collaboration and speed breakthroughs. The old world of peer-reviewed research that costs thousands to publish and access is giving way to a more open and collaborative process. Whether this model can get its discoveries through the maze of "intellectual property" laws and into the market is still open to debate.
At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Follow @DanaBlankenhorn This article was written by an independent contributor, separate from TheStreet's regular news coverage.

Mental Retardation Associated With Sociocultural Deprivation
Mental Retardation Associated With Organic Causes
A number of studies point out that most of these children come from poverty-stricken, unstable, and often disrupted family backgrounds characterized by a lack of intellectual stimulation, an inferior quality of interaction with others, and general environmental deprivation.
Since a childs current level of intellectual functioning is based largely on previous learning - and since schoolwork requires complex skills such as being able to control one's attention, follow instructions, and recognize the meaning of a considerable range of words - the child is at a disadvantage from the beginning if his environment has deprived him of the opportunity to learn requisite background skills and be motivated toward further learning. Thus with each succeeding year these children tend to fall farther behind in school performance and relative ratings on intelligence tests, unless remedial measures are undertaken. Many of these children do reveal a history of prematurity, inadequate diets, a little or no medical care. back to top
A number of toxic agents, such as carbon monoxide and lead, may also cause brain damage during fetal development or after birth. In some instances, immunological agents, such as antitetanus serum or typhoid vaccine, may lead to brain damage. Similarly certain drugs taken by the mother during pregnancy may lead to congenital malformations, or an overdose of drugs administered to the infant may result in toxicity and brain damage. In rare cases, brain damage results from incompatibility in blood types between mother and fetus Rh or ABO system incompatibility. Fortunately, early diagnosis and blood transfusions can now minimize the effects of this disorder. back to top
Physical injury at birth can also result in retardation. Although normally the fetus is well protected by its fluid filled bag, and its skull appears designed to resist delivery stresses, accidents do happen during delivery, as well as after birth.
Difficulties in labor due to malposition of the fetus or other complications may irreparably damage the infants brain. Bleeding within the brain is probably the most common result of birth trauma. Anoxia lack of sufficient oxygen to the brain stemming from delayed breathing or other causes is another type of birth trauma that may damage the brain. back to top
Sources of harmful radiation were once limited primarily to high-energy X rays used for diagnosis and therapy, but the list has grown to include nuclear weapons testing and other radioactive materials to which people may be exposed. back to top
A limited number of cases of mental retardation are also associated with other biological agents, such as brain tumors that either damage the brain tissue directly or lead to increased cranial pressure and concomitant brain damage. In some instances of mental retardation particularly of severe and profound types the causes are uncertain or unknown, although extensive brain pathology is evident. back to top

Slasher Showdown: Michael Myers vs. Jason Voorhees
By Kyle Anderson on October 31, 2013
Today is Halloween, and I've been thinking a lot about my favorite slasher movie franchise, Halloween, as evidenced by the quite-long history of Halloween I wrote the other week. Despite a couple shitty entries, the original seven forays of Michael Myers and his love of murder are incredibly enjoyable. That franchise also, inevitably, reminds me of the various knockoffs that came up as a result of John Carpenter's original, namely my least favorite slasher series, Friday the 13th. Jason Voorhees gets all the fame and acclaim and Michael Myers gets shat on. Why? Because Jason's been in more movies? Phooey and pshaw! I'm clearly biased, but I am willing to see the error of my ways. To that end, I've decided to pit these two horror heavies against each other in several categories and come to a logical "Who's Better?" solution. It'll be a hell of a lot more scientific than Freddy vs. Jason.
Round 1 – BACKSTORY
Michael Myers was, apparently, a normal kid when he snapped one Halloween and stabbed the shit out of his older sister. He spent the next 15 years of his life in a mental institution where his psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Loomis, tried to rehabilitate him and, failing to do so, spent the rest of his time there attempting to keep Michael locked up because he's pure evil. Michael is royally fucked up. He has the blackest eyes, the devil's eyes – How can that not be the best thing ever?
Jason Voorhees was a mentally-challenged camper who drowned when counselors were busy getting busy. His mom held a grudge for a really long while and began killing a new regime of counselors, including Kevin Bacon. Then, the girl who survived the first movie has a dream about Jason coming out of Crystal Lake, which apparently means he's still alive, and then he begins killing people. That's a pretty weird way to start your reign of terror – being dead and then brought back to life via the producers' desire to make a sequel.
Advantage – Myers
Round Two – MASK
When he was a kid, Michael Myers wore a clown mask, which is terrifying enough on its own. As an adult, after escaping the mental hospital, Myers collects what is actually a William Shatner Star Trek mask painted white with the hair teased. It gives the killer as blank an expression as the coldness of his heart. It's a way for Myers to distance himself mentally from the murders he's committing. He's not deformed facially, but he seems to be totally appalled by his real visage. Every time he escapes, he finds some other, similar-looking white mask with hair on it. Luckily, by time Halloween 4 was made, all he had to do was buy a Michael Myers mask.
Jason has a horribly disfigured face that is apparently caused by birth defects. When he comes back from the dead the first time, he has a monstrous zombie face. In his first full appearance in Friday the 13th Part 2, he wears a pillow case with a hole cut in it to cover his ugly head. A PILLOW CASE. It wasn't until the last third of part 3 that he dons his trademark hockey mask, here only because one of his victims was wearing it. Every time he reappears, he has a different old-timey hockey mask. It's undoubtedly iconic, but serves no character purpose other than to hide his progressively grotty face.
Advantage – Myers
Round Three – WEAPON
Myers goes old school. Though he's killed people in a number of ways (including impalement, electrocution, and eye-gouging), his go-to implement of murder is a really sharp kitchen knife.
Voorhees has killed people in a smorgasbord of brutal ways (including picking people up and throwing them into trees), but his standby is a big, honking machete, which he swings with impunity.
Advantage – Voorhees
Round Four – MENACE
Michael Myers has an amazing ability to cling to the shadows (who is he, Bane?) and come out of nowhere when victims least expect. He's also a huge creeper, spending a great deal of time stalking his prey and lurking around corners. For being a pretty tall man, he sure can hide well. Myers has a sense of mischief about him, like he gets a weird enjoyment out of scaring people before murdering them. The image of Myers standing at the end of a long corridor is enough to induce pants-pissing in even the toughest among us.
Jason Voorhees is the very definition of "hulking;" he can do little else besides lumber around the woods (or Manhattan, or a spaceship) and look terrifying. What he lacks in stealth, he makes up for in directness. If Jason wants to kill you, he walks in a straight line at you until you're dead. There's no sense of fun about him; he just kills you and moves on. In the remake, which I'm not counting, really, they tried to make him more of a mountain survival person, but in the original slate of films, he's just a big fucker who kills.
Advantage – Push
Round Five – MURDERS
In the course of his seven screen appearances prior to the two reboot films (Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers, Halloween: Water, and Halloween: Resurrection), Michael Myers racked up about 71 murders (not counting dogs). That's a lot of damn people, it must be said, especially considering he only killed 5 in the original film. His murders, for the most part, have a panache to them, and he seems genuinely intrigued by the aftermath, like he's a psychopathic alien making notes about Earth's dead people.
Jason Voorhees has been in nine films, minus the remake (Friday the 13th part 2, Friday the 13th part III, Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Friday the 13th part VI: Jason Lives, Friday the 13th part VII: The New Blood, Friday the 13th part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, Jason X, and Freddy vs. Jason), and has killed 140 people, which, if you're doing the math, is about double the amount that Michael Myers has in only two more films. One of the hallmarks of the Friday series is the insane body count and the brutality with which people are dispatched. Jason is, basically, a walking death machine. He also killed Freddy Krueger.
Advantage – Voorhees
Round Six – DURABILITY
Michael Myers has been shot, blown up, electrocuted, set on fire, and punched really hard, and he's still ticking. He's apparently able to withstand complete immolation in the second movie, only to have a few scars in the fourth. Even when we see what looks like his end in Halloween: Water, it's later revealed to have been a trick on his part. The most that happens is that he'll be in a coma for a long period of time, but he always seems to know when October 31st rolls around again. He can take a licking and keep on ticking.
Jason Voorhees has actually for-realsies died three times: once before the first film, once in The Final Chapter (above) and once again in The Final Friday. He can't not get killed, it seems. The reasons for his resurrections are increasingly silly as the series goes on and even his veritable undead status doesn't stop him from being impossible to kill… until the end of the movie. The implication, however, is that he's so evil, he can't stay dead for long.
Advantage – Push
Round Seven – THEME MUSIC
While Harry Manfredini's "ch-ch-ch Ah-Ah-Ah" stings and the jacked Psycho-esque strings are quite effective, the repetitive and catchy score from John Carpenter is by far the more haunting and durable, since it's been used in every one of the movies, virtually unchanged.
Advantage – Myers
So, they're fairly evenly-matched, but I've decided I'm still going to award the crown to Michael Myers for the simple fact that the Halloween series as a whole is better than the Friday the 13th series as a whole. The original Halloween is a masterpiece that holds up even to this day, and at least two of the sequels can be considered pretty good by horror sequel standards. The Friday the 13th series has one truly good entry (The Final Chapter) and nothing much else going for it besides the over-the-topness of the murders, and while that's pretty entertaining, it doesn't have the lasting effect that the Halloween movies do.
So what did this prove? Nothing. It's Halloween; go watch Halloween.
Somebody needs to talk to the higher ups to make this fight happen. It would have been better than Freddy and Jason . But Michael is much more deadly than Jason . 1. His way of killing is so stealth . 2. He is pure Evil and the evil of Thorn will not let him die. 3. He has never died. WHEN JASON WAS DROWNING AS A KID MICHAEL WAS KILLING. People seem to think Jason is stronger. Let us not forget Michael has DEADLIFT CARS. One arm lifts of people , crush skulls ripped steel gates off . JASON IS VERY DURABLE BUT CAN DIE. HE DIES ALMOST EVERY MOVIE THEN COMES BACK. MICHAEL MYERS DOESN'T DIE. PURE UNCORRUPTED EVIL. MICHAEL MYERS KILLS JASON VOIRHEES
Michael Myers definitely wins, all he needs to do is take the fight to the water. Michael Myers just cannot be killed.
I'm in the same line with you pierre.
Michael Myers is immortal than Jason, who had died several times, and whu this, watch the whole Halloween series, he never died, and never will.
Jason is very strong, and his durability is insane, but when compared to Michael Myers, Michael wins this round..
Jason takes more damage, when somebody attacks him where Michael get only a scar..
Jason can throw people in the air, so as Michael.
Michael can pull people with one hand to the air, and crush their head and skull, Jason can't..It was always said, that Jason has greater weapon selection..
He uses machete, hammers, chainsaw, axe, harpoon, and others..
Michael uses kitchen knife, hammer, axe, shotgun but doesn't shoot with it, grim, corkcsrew, skate, pipes of the walls, and stingers..
So when compared, they both have great selection of weapons.
Intelligence is completely nuts with Jason, he doesn't think, and that is the time, when gets killed.
Michael Myers uses his brains, and intelligence all the time setts traps, and tries to scare people first, and then killing them brutally.Halloween vs. Friday The 13th – which of these horror movie series is overally scarier and better?
Halloween wins easily.. i have both complete series' s, and i gotta say Halloween is clearly winner..
Friday The 13th is only just about killing, killing and killing!!!
That is not scary anymore!
But Halloween has something much more..
It has legendary and the scariest horror theme song of all time, and the tension in the movie is somerhing that i like…
The killing is the key thing in near end to the movie, so it has other stuff in the beginning..
Halloween is much more scarier, and Michael Myers is much more scarier than Jason.So overally Michael Myers and Halloween wins
What creates Michael is more terrifying than Jason. Michael is bewitched by pagan witch craft as revealed in the curse of Michael Myers. He was chosen by a pagan ritualistic constellation thing…so when it's time to kill he is in a sense controlled by pure evil. Jason is a deformed serial killer turned zombie. No Michael Myers movie was utterly ridiculous unlike Jason X or the other ones where he is brought to life by a thunderbolt…smh WTH…michael has never been killed…jason has…michael is strong too. In h20 he lowered himself from the ceilings verly slowly with one hand…thats strong…he picked up a guy in resurrection by his head and killed him by squeezing in his head. Smh wow
I dont care how long michael has been killing i say let them make a movie and lets se who wins bit in advantage jason would win becuse he has been: blown up,drowended,shot, hung etc jason snaped when his mother was killed and his mother snaped when he was killed and also jason is known for appearing in front of u when u look back so… I have to say jason.But michael is a phico but in a fist fight jason would win jason has tooken peps heads off by punching ther faces
I think michael and jason it needs to be me (aka) Freddy Kruger vs jason vs michael but. I choose jason becuse in our movie he deference me sorta but im still alive
No I'm not hohohohohohohohohho im santa just kidding im a killer
Michael Myers won. He is faster,scarier,and the theme song is more scarier
when has myers ever ran except zombies witch he ran like 4 feet fast Jason runs in most of his movies dude
its more terrifying when the killer walks and some how catches up to you.
Really? , Jason is more of a stylish killer. Michael is a pussy compared to the true death bringer. But yes I would very much love to see them get it on…. Jason victories!
Ok I do agree that Michael has never died, more terrifying than Jason, and has a way better story, let's not forget that Jason has killed not only more people in much better ways than Michael, but has also killed FREDDY FREAKING KRUEGER & LEATHERFACE( Goin' South Comics). While Myers has been knifing civilians( which every slasher does) Jason has killed 2 major rival horror movie villains. Don't get me wrong, Myers is one BAD- ASS dude, It's just that Jason doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves.
Also, these comparisons seem to be a little weird.. I mean they are judging the two baddest dudes in Horror villain history based on their theme music? Don't blame Jason blame his producers!
yeah right, screw that Jason racked up 140 kills :l and it might be about 141 if they fought…
Michael wins
Jason has more health than Michael myers so Jason would win but Michael myers is still very strong
I am an actual fan that enjoys both equally and I could see that you were pulling for Michael all the way. Even if it meant pulling out of your ass. What a totally biased crock of sh*t against Jason. In reality, having a COMPLETELY fair fight using the categories that were mentioned in the article; Jason WINS 4-to-1 (2 categories were EVEN DRAW).
I'm sorry but i highly disagree about the mask win. Imo jason wins that category.
You obviously favor Myers dude
Totally agree, myers is the true halloween icon, sure jason may have more movies which makes him more popular seeing the comments below kind of prove that but just think who would you rather want standing across from you, a guy in a hockey mask which isnt scary or a plain horrifying white mask with no expression on it and the black eyes.
Jason can frickin teleport (part 8). It's difficult to decide but i'm leaning towards the giant teleporting zombie with a machete. They both show intelligence by cutting power and disabling vehicles. I think Jason even set some traps for his victims because ya can't be everywhere at once (unless you can teleport). They both have superhuman strength but i think zombie jason wins in that category. He has smashed peoples heads with his bare hands a couple of times and he pretty much walked through the front of a cabin in Final chapter And i've never seen Myers punch a guy's head off his shoulders. It doesn't seem very important to me if Jason has been killed a few times because he just comes right back, So they can both be temporarily put down or killed but they both return anyway. in either case it's only temporary. Jason has taken up close shotgun blasts and just kept on coming but Myers does go down from a gunshot wound. I'd say that Jason has a higher healing factor than Myers. I love them both lol so its difficult but I believe Jason would win. But Myers is the hide and seek champion of Illinois so who knows. Jason wins the fight but i have to agree that the Halloween franchise was a little better imo.
I don't think the kills from 'New Beginning' should count on Jason's total. That wasn't even Jason, it was a copycat killer.
People keep saying that Myers has never died but he was killed off by the writers in part 2. He was shot in both eyes by Laurie"Anne Oakley" Strode and burnt to a crisp in an explosion. The only reason they even brought him back was due to Halloween 3 not doing well. So i'd hafta say he has died and was resurrected by the writers/producers if anything.
Jason is not afraid of the water. He goes in the water all the time in the movies. They just added that bs to Freddy vs Jason so Jason would have a weakness.
A whole year + and this post is still great. Halloween: Water… LMBO!

I don't know what the traditional muffaletta lovers would think about this but there are now vegetarian and vegan versions of the muffaletta sandwich. Instead of being made with charcuterie items like salami, the vegetarian version is made with assorted veggies. I think the one common item in both is the olive spread.
I think that as more people have preferred to eat vegetarian and vegan, specialty grocers and sandwich shops are trying to cater to those customers as well and have started making vegetarian versions of everything.
I've had the vegetarian muffaletta sandwhich both at a shop and homemade and I think it's delicious. I can't say that it is better than the original because the original just has a different taste from the meat. But it's quite good for a vegetarian muffaletta, especially with fresh bread, homemade olive spread and fresh organic veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms.

Developing Gaura Seed Pods
Let the flowers mature on the stems, do not pinch off the old flowers, and do not remove the stems after blooming is complete. Where the flowers were on the stem will form small green football shaped protusions. These are the developing seeds. They will turn a dark greyish-brown when they are mature, and they are close in appearance to a very large caraway seed.
Seed removal will be easy at this stage...perhaps too easy. The seeds will drop into your hand with the slightest touch. This easiness of seed dispersement from the plant might be why you don't see the seeds, it's because they've fallen to the ground already.
Gaura plants are very easy to collect seed from, you will need to check the stems frequently to collect the seeds before they drop from the plant. The seeds will mature at a staggered rate and so you can collect seeds from these plants for several weeks.

Cris Orfescu and Winners of the NanoArt International Online Competition to Exhibit at the EuroNanoForum 2009
Cris Orfescu ( http://www.crisorfescu.com/ ) and winners from all 3 editions of the NanoArt International Online Competition ( http://www.nanoart21.org/ ) have been invited to exhibit at the EuroNanoForum 2009, June 2-5, in Prague, Czech Republic.
Frances Geesin (UK), Bjoern Daempfling (Germany), Carol Cooper, Eva Lewarne (Canada), Chris Robinson, Darcy Lewis, David Derr, David Hylton, Renata Spiazzi, Fred Marinello, Philip Brun Del Re, Ursula Freer, Diane Vetere, Steven Pollard (USA), Teja Krasek (Slovenia), Imameddin Amiraslan (Azerbaijan), and Teresa Majerus (Luxembourg) will show their works at this event. 36 prints and 2 multimedia works will be exhibited in diferent locations at the Prague Congress Center.
EuroNanoForum 2009 is the 4th conference of a set of international nanotechnology conferences organized within the framework of national Presidencies of the European Union. The conference will be hosted at the Prague Congress Centre, as an official event of the Czech Presidency, under the auspices of the Czech Ministry for Education Youth and Sports and with the support of the Industrial Technologies Program of the European Commission. Focusing on "Nanotechnology for sustainable economy", EuroNanoForum 2009 will address the contribution and challenges of nanotechnology research for a sustainable development of European industry and society, such as the need for reduction in carbon emissions and fossil fuels dependence, the substantial increase in energy demand, pollution control, clean water management and sustainable quality of life of the European citizen, as well as material production sustainability and efficiency. In this respect, nanotechnology presents many opportunities and challenges that have to be analyzed at international level through a safe, responsible and integrated approach, as first presented by the ENF2003 conference ( http://www.euronanoforum2009.eu/ ).
NanoArt is the expression of the Nanotechnology Revolution and reflects the transition from Science to Art using Technology. This new art discipline features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes). These structures are visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific images are captured and further processed by using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences to educate the public with creative images that are appealing and acceptable.

I've had surefire g2's for a while now and use them a LOT, one I use 30x a day at work and it's the best light on the market imo. I have four of em, and a couple other low/mid end surefires for various reasons. I like the +1 upgrade bulbs, but they kill the battery useage and aren't that much brighter. Also I've had terrible luck making them last. Only thing worse than a dim flashlight is a no-light one. I stick with the p60 and p90 bulbs and have yet to burn one out. Anyways, as most flashlight freaks I am always on the lookout for new brighter affordable solutions. I read on one of my AR boards about candle power forums and spent a few days reading over there. Apparently there are new technologies around that blow the surefire's out of the water, and cost far less to produce. Runtimes and lumens are both increased. I figured the modifications would be expensive until I started shopping around.
I found a "dropin" bulb at dealextreme for $12.50 that claims to put out 200 lumens AND increases battery life. My upgraded p61 bulb doesnt go that bright and kills batteries fast. My p91 bulb doesnt even go that bright. So I figured for that much money it was worth a try. On the forums people have said they fit a lot of surefires (they work anywhere from 3-9v so they cover more lights too), but in the g2 they don't seem to work without modification. I'd be willing to modify it if it was THAT much better, ya know? So I ordered four of em. Find out afterwards that they would be shipped out of HongKong, but it really only took about a week for them to arrive. They came in this morning.
Packaged in a bubble wrap envelope I hoped they survived, luckily they did. Pulled one out, dropped it in the g2, nothing. hrmm. I was kinda expecting this, and to have to search again for modification tips. Put it in the 9p and voila! omg this thing is bright, like super white light too. Its broad daylight right now, I doubt I can tell exactly how bright until later. I thought surefires were white light until I saw this, it compares to the HID lighting that comes out of my car headlights. Super white, almost blue tinted. Anyways, I started to search for the g2 solution and came across a lot of peoples who could not figure it out. One guy said he had to grind it down and take off the outer spring all together. Hmm, so I took off the outer spring, still nothing. Went to put it back on and noticed one end is smaller diameter than the other. Flipped it 180 from original and bingo it works like a charm.
I left out the part where I flashed myself with the 9p to see how bright it actually is. Broad daylight, well over an hour later, I'm still seeing circles/dots in my vision. haha... *******.
So I flipped the spring in the rest to test em out, and they all work great. There is a gap between the head and the housing, which everyone said there would be, but I can fill that with an o-ring and be happy. The new lens assembly is that much longer than the p60. The end of the reflector is straight out so you could take 1/8" off and move the whole thing up to close the gap without losing any light output, I'm sure thats the main modification people were talking about. The gap isn't enough to make the inner waterproofing o-ring lose seal, just lets in a space for dirt etc to get inside. I'll probably just grind down the tabs a bit and put in a fat o-ring and call it good.
These things are seriously bright. If you've never had a g2 before, it's about 3x brighter than any other light we have in our shop (mechanic) with the stock bulb. At night, in the darkness a p60 at 60 lumens is enough to be considered a weapon in my opinion. It can completely blind somebody for long enough to give you the upper hand. The upgrade p61 bulb is twice as bright, but lessens your battery life by about 1/3, and the bulbs seem to burn out quite frequently. I had one p91 ($25) burn out the first day I had it. This new $12.50 bulb puts them all to shame. I think I'd be afraid to shine it at somebody in the dark, for fear it may cause some permanent damage. I'll keep it in my nightstand lite for defensive purposes for sure, and my 9p which rides in the car with me.
Read up on cree technology, its some pretty amazing stuff. If surefire doesn't get on the cree bandwagon within the next 6 months it looks like they'll be left in the dust by cheaper, brighter, longer lasting foreign jobs.
Cliffs Notes: $31 dollar surefire G2, $12.50 drop in bulb assembly = one happy flashlight junkie.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:works as expected
it feels like the original
it doesnt sound cheap as other earbuds on sale on DX (this one is not cheap hehe)
different to other apple earbuds copies, this ones has a strong cable and good bass, I think similar to the originals.
no cons so far, but I only have it for a few hours so i dont know about durability which tends to be a issue with apple earbuds copies.
I dont have the original anymore to make a face to face testing
very good copy or maybe same as originals, no package. just come same as when you got the iphone in a tiny piece of transparent plastic.

Since molten salts solidify at around 425 degrees F, the system needs to maintain sufficient heat to keep from seizing up during periods of reduced sunlight. The receiver tubes in the Archimede facility are designed to maximize energy collection and minimize emissions with a vacuum casing that enables the system to work at very high temperatures required with molten salts. By using the higher temperatures of molten salts, instead of oil, which has been used in other CSP plants until this point, the plant is able to maintain capacity well after the sun sets, allowing it to continue generating power through the night.
The Archimede plant has a capacity of 5 megawatts with a field of 30,000 square meters of mirrors and more than 3 miles of heat collecting piping for the molten salt. The cost for this initial plant was around 60 million Euros.

Police Superintendent, Shah Nawaz Khan, Shot Dead Quetta
QUETTA: Unidentified assailants gunned down a Superintendent of Police (SP) of Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Quetta on Tuesday, morning.
According to police, the SP Shah Nawaz Khan was on his way home after a morning walk when armed men opened indiscriminate fire on him at Satellite Town area. As a result, he received critical wounds and was being moved to hospital when he succumbed to his injuries. "Two assailants who were riding a motorcycle sprayed a volley of bullets on CID officer and fled from the scene," said a senior police official and adding that the incident seems to be a target killing incident.
Soon after the incident police and other law enforcement agencies rushed to the site and surrounded entire area. "A search operation has been started in the area to trace out the culprits," he added.
A case has been registered against known assailants in Satellite Town police station. However, no group has claimed responsibility for the killing of SP so far.
The funeral prayers of SP Shah Nawaz Khan was offered in Police Line which was attended by a large number of people, including Inspector General Police Rao Amin Hashim and other high ranking police officials.
Sources said that the slain police official was posted at key positions of the police department and investigated many important cases besides receiving threats from criminals.

There is hope after all!
Newly broken-up couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were spotted together again, after rumours that Gomez blocked him from her phone.
Apparently, Bieber picked up Gomez at LAX on Wednesday night and proceeded to go back to her place where he spent the night. The next morning, the two drove over to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and entered separately to avoid being snapped by the paparazzi together.
Does this mean that the two are trying to work things out? Can we still believe in young love?

MEADVILLE – Meadville's proposed 2014 budget has no tax increase. City Council got a preliminary look at the budget last night. It's calling for for an expenditure of 8-million 856-thousand dollars. That is up two and a half percent from 2013, with a real estate tax millage rate unchanged at 20.42 mills.
City Manager Joe Chriest says the city will tap into savings to close a 45-thousand dollar shortfall – funds the city had on standby but did not have to touch this year.
"Through judicious spending by our employees this year, we didn't need to make that transfer, so that money is still sitting there."
One of the toughest problems facing the city right now is its growing pension obligations. Chriest's solution won't affect current employees, but will change the way pensions are managed for employees hired after January 1st.
"Any non-represented employees hired after January 1st would go to a defined contribution. So, at that time, what the city would say is, we will match your contributions up to x-percent."
A defined contribution, as opposed to a defined benefit plan, means employees are guaranteed a city match, but won't be promised a certain amount in return, thus ultimately placing the fate of their savings at the whims of the financial markets.
