When a friend or loved one passes away, many people want to send funeral flowers as a symbol of their love and a show of heartfelt condolences to the family and other mourners at the service. The options for funeral flowers include: arrangements for the casket, standing arrangements such as floral crosses or wreaths, as well as smaller baskets or arrangements. However, etiquette dictates what type of arrangement is appropriate as not all funeral flowers should be sent by anyone.
If you are not able to attend the funeral service, you can still send sympathy flowers to the family's home as all funeral flowers do not need to be at the service. The most common options for a sympathy gift to the home are a vase of beautiful flowers or a floral basket. Fruit baskets or gifts of gourmet food are also appreciated at the home of the family when they receive mourners.
No matter what type of funeral flowers you need, the expert Sympathy Advisors at 1-800-FLOWERS.COM® will be able to help you with selection and ordering, and they will arrange for delivery to the funeral service location or family home.

Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Shripad Naik said Rs 21,912 crore expenditure has been estimated in the Budget for the current fiscal.
First Secretary in the Indian Mission to the UN Mayank Joshi said India is committed to steadfastly continue to working together with UN Women.
In India, IMR has declined from 57 per 1,000 live births in 2006 to 42 per 1,000 live births in 2012.
It spends just over 1% of its GDP on publicly-funded healthcare, and almost 7 in 10 people pay for their own healthcare.
The Centre is now proposing to allocate special funds to the states to engage medical equipment maintenance agencies to tackle this problem.
"Medical fraternity works very hard and their interventions have shown good impact on the society but there has been a gap in demand and supply", he said.
"It needs to respect diversity and promote equal opportunity and participation of all in order to create a 'society for all'," Joshi said in a UNGA session.
The Centre's flagship rural housing programme for the 12th Five-Year Plan is almost 44 per cent short of its target so far.

"Thorough history presented in a compelling manner"
As a college level course, the material presented is both thorough and interesting. I am on my second listening of the course because there is just such a wealth of information provided.
I love Father Robert Barron's Catholicism series and this course was a great addition to the material Father Barron presented. Obviously this course is a history while Barron's is not intended to be. Professor Cook was able to explain a lot of the "why" behind the evolution of the church while Father Barron continually showed its beauty. For those who really want to know about the Catholic church, this is a great asset.
I have watched and listened to Professor Cook's course on The Great Cathedrals. He is a compelling and enthusiastic lecturer who presents material in a straight forward manner. I thought this course was quite good as an audiobook, while the course on cathedrals obviously needed the visual information. I plan on purchasing other courses by Dr. Cook.
One need not be Catholic to enjoy this thorough history. Professor Cook knows his material and presents it in an enthusiastic and compelling manner.

Carpenter's masterpiece of paranoia review of reissued DVD,
By Wayne Klein "If at first the idea is not absu... (My Little Blue Window, USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Thing (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
John Carpenter's "The Thing" wasn't so much a remake as a reinterpretation of John Campbell's classic short story. Closer in spirit to Campbell's conception of the Thing, Carpenter's film was both critically lauded because of the suspenseful storytelling and critically attacked for the excessive gore. While the gore is at times quite excessive it fits in with the audience expectations after films like "Dawn of the Dead" (the origianl 1979 movie)and other films of the era.
What's amazing is how audiences are drawn into the story despite the fact that there are no characters we really, really like. We admire many of these men and their resolve but we don't like them. They're the product of their harsh environment and isolation. Mac (Kurt Rusell)is the helicopter pilot for an Antarctic science station. Their dull routine is interrupted by a team of seemingly crazy Norwegians pursuing a dog. The Norwegians are killed and the Americans are left without any idea as to what might have driven the Norwegians over the edge. Blair (Wilford Brimley)pours over the Norwegian journal brought back by Mac and Cooper (Richard Dysart)and discovers that the Norewegian team discovered an alien spacecraft with an occupant that was very much alive. More importantly, it can change into any shape and take over anybody. Mac, Childs (Keith David) and the rest of the crew must destroy the alien before it can spread to the rest of the civilized world. Previously released as a "Special Edition" in 1998, "The Thing" has been remastered for this edition.The anamorphic widescreen presentation is, I believe, the first time this has been transferred in the anamorphic format. The previous widescreen edition looked exceptionally good and comparisons between the two transfers reveal minimal differences except for the fact that the new edition is presented in anamorphic (i.e. with a higher resolution) picture. There are some minor digital blemishes that occasionally crop up as on the previous edition (which makes me suspect the previous master was digitally remastered vs. creating a new master). The 5.1 Surround Sound mix has tremendous presence and is exceptionally good with crystal clear dialogue. Ennio Morricone's marvelous music sounds particularly rich and detailed. There's no isolated music track which is a pity. The special features are exactly the same as the 1998 edition of the movie. "Terror Takes Shape" is an 80 minute documentary on the movie that includes both new interviews and behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot. Carpenter, Kurt Russell, the other members of the cast,the optical effects and make up crew and screenwriter Bill Lancaster on all phases from conception to post-production. It's an excellent and informative documentary divided into the various phases of production. We also see outtakes including the deleted stop-motion animation that Phil Tibbert did for the movie. Carpenter cut almost all of it out in favor of the physical effects because they didn't quite mesh as well as they could have. There's substanial behind-the-scenes footage, photos and the work-in-progress visual effects for the film. Essentially, this indepth approach makes "The Thing" as close to a film school as you'll likely find on DVD. We also get the original theatrical trailer, storyboards and conception art. The "Visual Effects-in-Progress" featurette t gives you a clue as to how the visuals and effects changed during shooting. There's also an annotated production background archive with an essay on the production illustrated with excerpts from the screenplay with photos and production drawings. There's also a brief essay on the casting in text format along with production photos from the film. The commentary track is the original one from the 1998 release featuring John Carpenter and Kurt Russell. As with the "Escape from New York" commentary track, "The Thing" commentary track is exceptional with interesting and amusing stories related to the production of the movie as well as behind-the-scenes tidbits that fans will find valuable. Both clearly enjoy each other's company more twenty years after their first collaboration. The packaging has been redesigned. While it is pretty cool, it's not going to be really durable. The exterior plastic cover like that for "Stir of Echoes" looks really cool and wraps around the carbord and plastic inner case. The inner case has photos and images from the movie. The inside, curiously, looks like it was designed for a chapter sheet or booklet but there's nothing inside.

"Gorror"/suspense classic comes to Blu-ray September 30th, 2008 - Updates on features, quality,
By Sanpete (in Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Though The Thing shocked with its new level of gore when it came out in 1982, popular taste has pretty well caught up to the gore factor. Now fans will be able to see it all in Blu-ray high-def.
The Thing takes its title from the influential 1951 sci-fi classic The Thing from Another World, a film it otherwise resembles only in similarity of location and a few plot points. (If you're interested in a less scary, more campy, funnier black-and-white version, with women in it, check out the older one.) The location is an isolated antarctic research station, cut off from radio contact with the outside world, where Kurt Russell, Wilford Brimley, Keith David and several other men unknowingly take in an alien creature that can adopt the form of members of the crew as it destroys them. They quickly find themselves in a desperate and paranoia-inducing situation, each not knowing who among the others might be an alien waiting to kill him. Internal organs are spread into view in various creative ways, while violence and tension build. Director John Carpenter specializes in gritty, intense, violent suspense, and he doesn't disappoint here. Though it didn't do very well when it came out, maybe because it was up against the much cheerier alien E.T., it has become a favorite since. The movie has already been released in HD at the same 1080p resolution the Blu-ray will have, so the transfer should be of similar quality. The HD transfer is very good, with strong color and good detail and sharpness, definitely improved over the standard DVD. The sound will be English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, with French DTS 5.1. There will be English SDH, French, and Spanish subtitles. *Update* 19 September: The early reviews verify that the transfer is high quality, as expected, with excellent picture and good sound (not much surround in a movie this old). *Update* Universal has said in its promotional material that this release will include the extra material from the current DVD, but according to the early reviews, that isn't true. First, here are the special features announced in the main press release: -- audio commentary with star Kurt Russell and director John Carpenter -- U Control Picture in Picture -- U Control tutorial -- BD-Live In addition, most of the 84-minute making-of documentary from the older DVD has been incorporated into the Picture in Picture (PIP) feature, meaning that you watch it in pieces in a window along with the movie. The rest of the special features from the older DVD aren't included. Just as a reminder of what those old features are, missing here: -- outtakes -- deleted stop-motion animation -- work-in-progress visual effects footage -- behind-the-scenes location footage -- behind-the-scenes photos -- storyboard and conceptual art -- annotated production archive -- original theatrical trailer Again, those are old features that Universal has *not* included on the Blu-ray. I'm not into gore, but the suspense is well done here, and Kurt Russell is in his element. Fine video transfer and good commentary make for a good package, but the missing features from the older DVD mean you may want to keep the old one too.

It was the right time.,
By Steven W. Hill "Owner of shillpages.com" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Thing - Collector's Edition (DVD)
Maybe someone said so in the DVD's documentary: 1982 was the right time for this movie. Nothing like it would be made today, or even a few years after its release. Even if a thematically similar film were made, it's almost a guarantee that it would use digital effects. This movie boasts the most incredible prosthetic effects ever seen, and I know in my gut that if it were made with computer graphics it wouldn't be nearly as good.
Okay, enough about that. I probably don't need to describe the movie itself, at least not from a plot perspective. Let me briefly cover technique: this movie is built for suspense. From the marvelous low-key Ennio Morricone score to the gold-standard cinematography of Dean Cundey, from the scene construction (I love the scene where the dog enters a crew room, and the scene fades out after we see the man's shadow turning - no sting, no shock, just a fade out) to the realistic paranoia and fear building in the eyes of the men. I admit that paranoia movies are a personal favorite genre, but there are very few films that I can say made me sweat from suspense, and this is one of them. One of the film's greatest strengths is the ensemble cast - mostly familiar faces, but not TOO familiar, so you feel a kinship and empathy but you're not saying "oh, that's Richard Masur" the same way you would if it were Bruce Willis, for example. Sure, there's Kurt Russell, but he plays his role so perfectly that he just fits right in with everyone else. Then of course there's the ending, something John Carpenter excels at (the ending of his ESCAPE FROM L.A. made the whole movie for me) especially when in the dystopian mode... so here again we can make up our own stories over "what happened next." The DVD presentation is packed with so many goodies it's hard to know where to start. An excellent documentary, enjoyable commentary, isolated score (selectable during the documentary), even some cut scenes...and so much more. The picture is fantastic, with such wonderful smooth blue hues so prevalent in the movie. For many years laserdisc owners were tantalised by rumours of a special edition with tons of extras, and when we finally got it (on both laserdisc and DVD) we weren't disappointed at all, and it was well worth the years of anticipation. The movie is absolutely not for everyone, as its level of gore is quite high. Many people say they're distracted too much by the gore, but I seem to immerse myself in the film's atmosphere and it's never taken me out of the experience. An engrossing and extremely well-crafted film, and the same goes for this special edition presentation.

John Carpenter's Masterpiece,
By Lisa Krause (Irvine, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thing - Collector's Edition (DVD)
Long after its debut, THE THING is finally getting the respect it deserves. I'm glad John Carpenter is young enough to be around to see it. This film was unfairly shunned when it came out because E.T. came out at the same time. Nobody wanted to see E.T. killing people, hence no one went to see THE THING.
Along with THE HIDDEN, this is one of the greatest horror/action movies to come out of the 80s. It should be on any serious horror fan's top ten list (it's number two on mine) and it is perhaps Carpenter's greatest film to date. Yes, I think it is even better than HALLOWEEN. This movie sticks closer to the original story ("Who Goes There") that both this and the older movie THE THING FROM OUTER SPACE were based on. The latter was more of a monster movie, whereas Carpenter's version is more of a psychological action film with a great dollop of paranoia. Kurt Russell and John Carpenter work so well together, and Russell does a great job here (along with the underrated Keith David). I hope they make more films together. Wilford Brimley, better known as the Quaker Oats man, is terrific as well. Actually the whole cast puts in amazing performances. On the DVD commentary J.C. says they all were really into their parts, and it shows. The "blood test" scene is a great example of how well they all worked together. The special effects in this movie still look good. I honestly don't think they look dated at all. I imagine that if they did this today we would be inflicted with some dumb-looking CGI monster that would ruin the film and seem silly in a few years' time. If you like this one, get the DVD. It has tons of extras and is worth the money just for the commentary by Russell and Carpenter. 10/10

Would have given 5 stars but Universal down graded the features.,
By GadgetGuy (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thing [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The movie itself is 5 stars no question. The picture quality on this Blu Ray is amazing. Contrast is consistent and blacks are deep throughout the film with very good detail. Colors are rich and the various hues of blue in the night scenes are pleasing. Greens, yellows and oranges, as well as the important reds (got to have have proper reds in a horror/sci~fi film) are all rendered properly, in this Blu Ray offering. Film grain is not distracting, and chroma noise is not an issue. Unfortunately I have serious issue with Universal for removing features on the Blu Ray that were present on the DVD for US customers, while keeping them in the UK version of the Blu Ray release. The lower stars rating is for this review is for this particular release of it.
I love John Carpenters "The Thing", but Universal Studios should be ashamed of themselves for releasing a Blu Ray version of the film with almost ALL of the extras REMOVED. Inexcusable. It's a shame Universal chose to do this, since this Blu Ray's picture quality and sound are both great. Purchase the Uk Blu Ray release instead. It includes the many extras not found in this US version. Does Universal Studios value their UK customers more than their US customers for some reason?

Don't rent this. Buy it. Today.,
This review is from: The Thing - Collector's Edition (DVD)
This movie had the terrible fortune of being released the same summer as "E.T -- The Extra Terrestrial." Audiences had their choice of going with Steven Spielberg's take on aliens -- adorable creatures that eat Reese's Pieces and befriend little boys -- or John Carpenter's version, in which the aliens eat people and befriend nobody. We all know which movie was the hit, and that is too damn bad, because "The Thing" is simply one of the ten best sci-fi horror movies ever made.
Forget labels, however. This film simply works. "E.T." twanged at your heartstrings: "The Thing" aims to rip them out alltogether, and it does a terrific job. Anyone who has read any of my reviews (I know there must be one of you out there somewhere....hi, Mom) knows that I'm a huge fan of "atmosphere" and this film cranks up some of the creepiest atmosphere around. Imagine this: You and about ten other guys are snowbound on an Antarctic research station, several thousand miles from civilization, completely isolated. A shape-shifting alien that can imitate any form of life it comes into contact with -- dogs, people -- is unearthed from the ice after a 100,000 year sleep and wakes up in an awful mood. One by one, it picks off your buddies in unbelievably gruesome ways. Problem is, you aren't sure which of your buddies is human and which might be, well, "the Thing." Trapped in the remote station with no radios and no way of getting help, you are stuck fighting a monster that can not only imitate anything it wants, and perfectly, but which can form a whole new monster from any chunk of itself you happen to shoot, stab, or blow off. Now start to realize that if the thing wins, it will inflitrate the rescue team that will inevitably arrive, and from there, go on to wipe out the entire planet posthaste. How do you tell who your friends are? How do you survive? Are you even sure you should? Ladies and Gentlemen, you've just gotten through about half an hour of "The Thing." And yes, matters get worse. Carpenter is one of the biggest hit-and-miss directors around. When he misses, he usually misses big -- did you see "Prince of Darkness?" -- but when he hits, as he did on "Halloween" and yes, "The Thing" -- he sends that expletive-deleted ball flying right out of the park and bouncing into traffic. Everything about this movie -- the special effects, the dialogue, the acting -- especially by Kurt Russel, Wilford Brimley, and Keith David, but really the entire cast with no exceptions -- hits with magnum impact. If you're not creeped out, you're grossed out, and if you're not wondering who the hell the Thing is, you're finding out in a really unpleasant way. Rob Bottin did once-and-a-lifetime work on the SPFX and gore for this film, and while critics dissed it mercilessly for just that reason -- too much of the red stuff -- there is nothing in this film that happens for cheap shock value. Some have accused Carpenter of catering to those who slow down for car wrecks, but they miss the point -- what comes first in this film is the interplay between the characters. This movie is as much about paranoia as it is about blood, and if it exploits anything, it exploits just that -- our fear. Of the dark. Of the cold. Of ourselves and what might happen to us when the lights go out. Isn't that what a horror movie is supposed to do?

Carpenter's Best,
By Nobody (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thing (Collector's Edition) (DVD)
I first saw this film on video around 1983/4 when I was about 7 years old and the scene of head falling off and spider-like legs coming out has remained with me ever since. Now this film sits comfortably in my top 5 modern horror films of all time along with Tobe Hooper's `The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (1974), John Carpenter's `Halloween' (1974), Ridley Scott's `Alien' (1979) and Lucio Fulci's `The Beyond' (1981).
The Thing is loosely a remake of the Howard Hawks / Christian Nyby original 1951 sci-fi film `The Thing From Another World' although it tends to adhere more faithfully to the original John W Campbell Jr. short story `Who Goes There?' The short story had stronger elements of paranoia that was missing in the original film but is restored superbly here. Each character has a distinct and well-developed personality all of their own which is unique in sci-fi / horror films where each character is picked off one by one. The ending appears to be have been left open for a sequel which never appeared although I believe now in hindsight that adds to the strength of the film in that we're still don't know if the remaining characters are infected. Credit has to be given to Bill Lancaster who adapted the short story into the screenplay. Along with `Alien' this film led to the resurgent interest in Sci-Fi /Action films in the eighties most notably for the developments in special make-up effects that were delivered here by Rob Bottin (The Fog, The Howling, Robocop, Seven, Fight Club) with some help from animatronic expert Stan Winston (Terminator, Aliens, T2, Jurassic Park). They were allowed to go crazy with their ideas and in the end they produced some memorable gory scenes. Palmer's (a character) response at seeing the spider-head, sounds like it could have come directly from John Carpenter at seeing Bottin's ideas. Cinematography was by Dean Condey who shot Carpenter's `Halloween' (1974) and would later go on to shoot other popular Sci-Fi films of the period like Zemeckis' `Back To The Future' and Speilberg's `Jurassic Park'. The score was created by probably the most famous film scorer in history, Ennio Morricone, who has literally hundreds of film credits to his name. His most famous work has been for Sergio Leone (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly; Once Upon a Time in the West). The gentle thumping on the score kind of portrays the heartbeat of an unseen enemy reminiscent of some industrial ambient drone music of the period. `The Thing' was not a failure at the box office although it did struggle against Spielbergs child-friendly `E.T.' which was released two weeks earlier. It would go on to create a massive cult following upon it's release on video which was when I first saw it, although I never did see E.T. until many years later. In a period now when just about every film is remake of some past classic and particularly with the current interest in horror it's great to see just how well this holds up not only against the original but even now, 23 years later. Cinema hasn't really moved on since the 1970s and as a result this film still feels remarkably fresh. So buy this and if you haven't seen the original it's worth checking out also, it's an excellent example of a 1950s Sci-Fi B-film. It's definitely worth replacing that old video with the DVD.

yes, this 1982 movie looks THAT good in HD. The transfer done last year by Universal looks absolutely terrific...no complaints. When you can see actual snowflakes against a snow-white background, you know that real care went into the video transfer. And for a movie nearly 25 years old, the 5.1 sound still packs a punch, although the center channel lacks some of today's aural presence. The standard special edition DVD looked great, but this one blows it out of the water!

This Thing looks great...,
By Thepsilam (Philly, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thing [HD DVD] (HD DVD)
I've always loved Carpenters rendition of The Thing (a remake from The Thing from Another World). He took a great short story and weaved a tale of desperate isolation. Each of the characters were vivid and all had strong personalities- from very likable to downright bad. The effects in the film were great for the time, some of them seem hokey, but all in all they still look good. The other-wordly metamorphosis that The Thing goes through never gets old. The Dog absorbing the others in the kennel is disturbing and the Defribulator scene is probably the most classic in all of horror movie history. Plenty of gore to satisfy even the most cynical of gorehounds. Yet, Carpenter keeps a decent amount of levity in the film to keep the viewer's emotions a bit off kilter. It all works.
This version of the film on HD-DVD is a fantastic copy. The film, almost 20 years old now, looks absolutely beautiful. The transfer is pristine, hardly any artifacts are viewable, the effects still pack the punch they did back in 82. The soundtrack is equally impressive. The extra features are the same found on the last release of The Thing on DVD, so nothing new, but nothing missing. Just everything looks and sounds better than what you would expect. I am still amazed how good this movie looks considering its age. This movie, one of my favorites from John Carpenter, and King Kong has sold me on HD-DVD. IF this is what I can expect from hi-definition transfers, then I will be re-purchasing a lot of films. I would not hesitate to recommend this film to anyone, especially those who love horror, but I would absolutely urge anyone who has an HD-DVD and are true horror fans to get this version of the film. You will not be disappointed.

I'm not a gore fan at all, but love this flick,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Thing [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Having read the official amazon.com review of "The Thing," I have to post a slightly different opinion. Yes, the special effects are eye-opening and graphic, but it's not just gore fans who like this film. I should know. My favorite movies ("Local Hero," "Bagdad Cafe") are totally devoid of blood and guts, yet "The Thing" remains high on my list as well.
I saw "The Thing" when it first came out in the early '80s and was shocked at the critical lambasting it took. Critics of that day were hung up on the earlier '50s version of the story, which starred James Arness in a carrot suit. Gimme a break. This one is superior in every way to the original film version, starring Kurt Russell as a real anti-hero (kind-of a hung-over Antarctic version of Snake Pliskin). Also good supporting work from a fine cast of character actors whose faces you'll recognize but names, maybe not. And the music, by Ennio Morricone (best known for Italian westerns like "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly") is his usual excellent work; while most movie music shouldn't be noticeable, he manages to make his music part of the atmosphere in a more intrusive way that somehow weaves itself into the film perfectly. It is a gory film, make no mistake about that. But it's not the gore that'll make you jump. It's The Thing. Did they get him? Are the survivors human? Were the victims really imitations of life? Good questions for a film with a small cast and atmospherics that aptly depict the isolation, claustrophobia, and paranoia among the characters. Still can't figure why critics bashed this flick when it came out, and still seem less than impressed. |

The Senators will try to close out a five-game homestand on a positive note tonight as they attempt to win three straight for the first time since a four- game winning streak from November 17-23. Ottawa is 3-1-0 on the homestand after winning its last two tests against the New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers.
Ottawa earned a shootout decision over the Isles on New Year's Eve and then notched a 7-4 decision against the Flyers on Sunday afternoon. Alex Kovalev's first career four-goal game, part of a five-point effort, helped Ottawa post the win over Philadelphia.
Chris Kelly netted a pair with an assist for the Senators, who blew an early three-goal lead but won for the fourth time in their last five. Jarkko Ruutu added a goal and one helper.
"We're trying to keep the other teams surprised, playing as well as we have without some key guys," Kovalev said. "We try to play as well as we can, and it's great to see other guys stepping up. Two points makes me happier than the goals."
Kovalev's four-goal night gives him 11 markers in a disappointing first season with the Senators. He had 26 tallies in 2008-09 for Montreal and had 35 goals the previous year for the Canadiens.
Brian Elliott got the win in relief, stopping 10-of-11 shots in just over 34 minutes of work. Starter Pascal Leclaire was pulled after yielding three goals on 10 shots.
The Sens have done most of their damage at home this year with a 16-6-3 record at Scotiabank Place. Ottawa, which will play six of its next seven games on the road following tonight's test, is just 6-10-1 as the visiting team this year.
The Bruins beat Philadelphia in OT on New Year's Day for their second straight win, but the club faltered in its next test, dropping a close regulation decision against the New York Rangers. Christopher Higgins' goal with 1:29 to play led the host Rangers to the 3-2 win at Madison Square Garden.
Blake Wheeler and Matt Hunwick each had a goal and an assist for the Bruins, who had won five of six coming into the contest. Tuukka Rask made 32 stops in the loss.
Boston was trailing 2-0 heading into the third period, but tied the contest with a pair of quick goals late in regulation. However, Higgins skated down the left side and before he went behind the net he snuck the puck past the right pad of Rask, who was starting to sneak over to the other side.
"I thought I had the post covered and then it just went underneath my skate," said Rask. "We made it game after playing bad in the first two periods, but then that happens."
The Bruins lost more than the game as forward Patrice Bergeron suffered a hand injury that will require him to return to Boston rather than play in tonight's game. Bergeron, who was named to Team Canada last week, has 11 goals and 31 points in 41 games for Boston this year.
Without Bergeron, the Bruins will try to improve upon their 8-7-4 record as the guest this season. Boston is ending a brief two-game road trip tonight and will play its next two tests on home ice, beginning with Thursday's test against Chicago.
Boston has won all three meetings with the Sens this year, but two of those victories came in shootouts. Overall, the Bruins have won 10 of 11 in the series and have also taken five of their last six in Ottawa.

How to Make Pie Crust with Vodka
This is a great pie crust that will turn out perfect every time.
- 1/2 cup shortening
- Flour
- Water
- Vodka
1Mix half of the shortening into the flour with a fork. Do this until it looks like cornmeal.Ad
2Add the second half of the shortening, until the mixture looks like small peas. Not all of the flour will be touching the shortening; don't worry, this is good.
3Add 3 tablespoons of water to the mix, one tablespoon at a time.
4Once it is mixed well, add the same amount of vodka.
5Roll the crust out onto the table on a well floured surface.
6Flour the rolling pin.
7Roll out the dough, making sure to keep the surface floured, and flipping the dough over onto a re-rolled surface every few rolls to keep it from sticking.
8Fold the dough into fourths, so that it will transfer into the pie crust without breaking.Ad
We could really use your help!

- The vodka is necessary, because it keeps the water from forming too much gluten in the dough, which is what makes it so tough. The ethanol in the vodka stops the formation of gluten, making a perfect crust every time.

You can bet that this sequel to 2008's Journey to the Center of the Earth has more action, more heart and, most importantly, more of cutie Josh Hutcherson.
We caught up with the 19-year-old and had him dish on some behind-the-scenes secrets, co-star (Vanessa Hudgens!) surprises, and his real-life adventure. As if you weren't already swooning for this sweetie, here are five more reasons to crush on him right now.
He's got a sense of humor. "We were filming in the jungle so Vanessa and I would always find like really long branches or twigs and stuff like that. We'd stand far behind somebody and sort of put it in their ear so they would think it was a bug crawling in their brain. It was fun to watch them freak out."
He's outdoorsy. "When I was filming The Hunger Games in Asheville, North Carolina, my dad and I went on like a two–day hike up into the mountains with these giant backpacks and pitched our own tent. We got on the wrong trail and kind of got lost at one point [though]. It was a little scary."
Snag a peek at Josh in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (in theaters now!) below…

In the Bible, it was Noah who stuffed the animals into the ark, two by two. Now there is Russell Crowe, whose movie Noah was just released, and whose animals are almost the backstory compared to Noahs family disputes.
But from 1958-64, on the Zambezi River and in the Zambezi valley between Zimbabwe and Zambia, there was another Noah: a game warden for the colonial government in Southern Rhodesia, who was the nearest thing to the biblical Noah. He led a small band of ingenious men, who among them saved about 6,000 creatures, great and small, from a watery grave.
The man who mounted probably the greatest animal rescue since the captain of the vessel in Genesis was Rupert Fothergill. This quiet man of the bush was in his forties when he undertook the rescue of every kind of living creature trapped by rising waters from the giant Kariba hydroelectric dam project, which flooded the Zambezi valley downstream from Victoria Falls.
At the time, the waters behind the dam created the largest man-made lake in the world. Because the governments of the British colony of Southern Rhodesia and the British Protectorate of Northern Rhodesia were primarily concerned with relocating about 57,000 Tonga people from the flood plain, little attention was paid to the density of game that would be drowned.
Enter Fothergill, who orchestrated Operation Noah. With few resources, and often no idea how to do it, Fothergill and team went to work, learning as they went along.
As Tim Abbott, an American conservationist, told me, How do you tranquilize a black rhino? Well, on YouTube, you can watch some amazing footage of the enormous, beautiful beast being secured, fighting back and finally being tied to a giant stretcher that was dragged onto a raft made of oil drums for the journey to her new life on high ground.
As the waters of Lake Kariba rose, islands formed in the flood plain, trapping everything. There is a searing image, recorded in a blog by Abbott, of a giant bull elephant, found by Fothergills team when it was near death, having swum for five hours, its trunk changing color from the exertion.
Some big game was more or less ridden to safety through the rising water. Small creatures were carried in loving arms onto small boats and taken to safety. There are photographs, and there is 16mm film of the rescues, even of Fothergill pampering a baby giraffe.
Peter Jones, now 77 and living in Durban, South Africa, was on Fothergills team. He told me by phone that gradually and with very few resources, they leaned how to save everything from poisonous snakes to the big game buffaloes, elephants and rhinos; the big antelopes, eland, kudu, sable and wildebeest; cheetahs, leopards and lions; and hyenas.
Fothergill and his men (about seven white Rhodesians and 50 Africans, Jones recalls) had a small flotilla of dinghies with Evinrude outboard motors. There were six or seven of these, but later a larger boat (Jones thinks it was 30 or 35 feet long and fitted with a diesel engine) was procured and used to tow the other boats with men sitting in them, holding animals in bags and nets and sometimes just in their hands.
The boats name was The Tuna, and it had come overland from South Africa boats were in very short supply in that part of southern Africa, a largely arid area.
I missed Operation Noah by a year. When I was a young reporter (17 years old), I was sent to the Kariba Dam site to cover floods that threatened to wash the whole project away. It was just a year before the great animal rescue began, but my boss, Eric Robins, a man from whom I learned my trade, was aware of the coming wildlife tragedy. Later, he wrote a book about it called Animal Dunkirk: The story of Lake Kariba and Operation Noah, greatest animal rescue since the Ark. It was. It was.
Sadly, Operation Noah got lost in the turbulent history of Africa that was to follow and particularly the civil war in Rhodesia, which brought an end to the colonial era and tended to inter its good deeds with the dominant race issues.
Happily more and more images of Operation Noah are being digitized, largely by Fothergills family, and are making their way onto the Internet. Watch Crowe, marvel at Fothergill.

Why Tony Hale Should Win an Emmy for Veep
Originally posted 08/24/2014 06:05PM
Tony Hale of HBO's Veep won outstanding supporting actor in a comedy last year, and deservedly so: As the vice president's worshipful aide, Gary Walsh, he behaves less like a factotum than a highly evolved breed of dog that will fetch, heel, carry handbags and supply comfort food.
To some extent he's a variation on another Hale performance, Buster Bluth of Arrested Development. Buster was a mama's boy who, under circumstances too complicated to go into, lost his hand to a seal.

PEOPLE's TV Critic's Arrested Development Review: It's Just Not as Funny
Originally posted 05/27/2013 11:30AM
Arrested Development, one of the cleverest sitcoms of all time, returned to life over the weekend, as Netflix launched an entire season of 15 new episodes for instant and, if one so chooses, marathon streaming.
This is a cause for celebration: reviving a cult network classic as digital, 24/7 programming is something like cloning a fresh mastodon from genetic material tweezered off a frozen carcass.
There is no guarantee, however, that the genetic material may not have mutated or deteriorated with time.
That is the case with Arrested Development, which lasted a mere three seasons on Fox despite ecstatic praise and is now regarded as such a classic that this revival has been wildly anticipated (and hyped).

I found a website where Texas lists every capital execution from 1982 on. One of the more interesting things about it is that it includes any last statements the prisoners made. Interesting reading. Lots of "foxhole converts" among them, I note.

In just one week the main part of Obamacare will begin to kick in. This is the state level exchanges that will allow the uninsured to be covered. Beginning on October 1, people will be able to sign up to get insurance in their state regardless of their health.
Most people signing up on the exchanges will qualify for subsidies based on their income and family size. This means that the cost of insurance will be less than the advertised price.
This is good…
ContinueYou and I got off to a bad start and I almost gave up on AT cuz of it. I'm glad I didn't. Amazing how much you and I agree on besides views on how jobs are created, the meaning of wealth and what produces it. All of that I believe about those things are from my personal experience in the past 5 years since becoming a civilian. I believe in them more today than ever before but all that is teeny minor crap compared to my core convictions. The main reason I argued with you about that was the wrong reason to to argue. I was offended on a personal level by things you said and I gave into that & put my anger ahead of reason.
Interrogation. Please point out any errors in you see in my reasoning.... (why ask, you'll do it even if I don't ask hahahaha!)
my last tour 2009 in Afgh I was a E4, a corporal, just one tiny small guy the big picture. When I heard this report was coming out I thought "oh shit! This is going to get nasty!" But wait... "nasty" is a relative term. As a war vet, my idea of nasty in regards to what could have been in that report is waaaaaaaaay different from Joe Civilian's definition of nasty. In fact my definition of nasty info on EIT would be impossible for him to wrap his head around and not break out in a chicken little dance.
There's no damned way Feinstein & the others with that report know less about EIT than I do unless the CIA and armed forces have been totally lying to them. That's just not possible.
I've read all I can find for details, watched TV for the hot talking points and I have come to the conclusion that whole report just about has to be a psyop to cover ALLLLLLLLL the shit guys like me know and all the shit guys like me don't know. For me there hasn't been ONE DETAIL in that report that was newsy or nasty. I really feel what's going on is a well planned magician's trick that starts off with him saying, "watch me cut off my right hand" to distract everyone IN THE WORLD while they sneak a 60 ton plaid elephant across the stage.
This isn't a conspiracy theory about some secret plot from the Obama white house. This is a theory about possibly pulling off a great Intel move to benefit the very people and programs that it's supposed to be making the focus of world wide outrage.
But wait. There's more.
There were things in that report that were totally ridiculous and almost funny when you thin about them. ONLY dummasses would fall for some of the shit AND the media and none of the "experts" have even tried to point the silly shit out.
Think. The report says next to no vital intel has been obtained through EIT. It says most of the intel obtained is lies told under torture. I don't recall ONE time in my whole 22 months in Afgh when we were told, "get your guns and let's go find some bad guys to shoot." Every time we did anything se went out to specific places looking at specific times, to look for specific people, specific things and act like we were just dumb gyrines who didn't know what we were looking for. One time we did a four hour search on a small 6 house village before "noticing" the exact item we'd been shown satellite images of sitting right in our way the whole time. Sooooo where did that intel come from? The pentagon must be using psychics and have consult fortune tellers. ........... That's just one example. One time we were rushed out to set up a fake road check, told what car to look for, who would be in it and make sure its 4 tires were blown out 1 km before the road block so the occupants would have to get out and walk after all traffic on the road was stopped to prevent them from hitching rides. When we go the guys back to base there were interesting guys there. After a staged accidental explosion the 3

RI Panel Hears Support For Tax Credits Program
By DAVID KLEPPER
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) â¿¿ Rhode Island lawmakers heard support Tuesday for a plan to revive the state's historic redevelopment tax credits, an idea that's taken on greater significance now that it's been suggested as a way to pay for the renovation of the state's tallest building.
The proposal would give credits to developers looking to rehabilitate qualified historic properties.
Lawmakers shelved the program years ago after costs for the credits ballooned. But Gov. Lincoln Chafee, Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed and others say the credits should be brought back as a way to jumpstart the state's construction business and ensure new uses for the state's many historic buildings.
The Senate Finance Committee heard from several leaders in the construction industry who said tax credits for historic redevelopment could help spur jobs in a sector that's suffered from double-digit unemployment for years. Monica Staaf of the Rhode Island Association of Realtors said historic redevelopment also reduces blighted urban areas. The proposal before lawmakers would free up tax credits that have already been authorized but were never claimed. Peter Marino, director of Chafee's Office of Management and Budget, said that allows the program to encourage the redevelopment of mills, factories and other buildings without incurring new debt. "Placing these facilities back on the tax rolls, putting them back to work, was very important to the governor," he told the senators reviewing the bill. Historic redevelopment tax credits have been floated as a way to pay for renovations at the downtown Providence building known as the Superman building. Owners of the 1928 office tower have said they might request credits to assist in renovating the property as an apartment building. The proposal wasn't mentioned at Tuesday's hearing. Several lawmakers including House Rep. Helio Melo, D-East Providence and the chairman of the House Finance Committee, have said they need to hear more details before deciding whether they could support awarding the project tax credits.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Death by chocolate? Yes, please! Honestly, I couldn't think of a better way to go. This ice cream is easy to make, and gets its luxurious chocolate flavor from a generous amount of cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and chocolate liqueur. It actually really tastes just like frozen chocolate ganache. Frozen. Chocolate. Ganache. (For real.) Breakstone's […]
Milk & Honey Ice Cream
Hands down, my favorite dessert has always been a dish of good vanilla ice cream drizzled with honey. Kinda boring for a food writer, right?

Angel Food Cake

Drunken Coffee Jello Squares

Tech Trends | FETC 2014 News
The Software & Information Industry Association has opened its seventh-annual Vision K-20 Survey, part of the SIIA's Vision K-20 initiative that focuses on developing a technology-based educational framework for K-12 schools, colleges and universities.
The survey was launched in conjunction with the FETC 2014 conference taking place this week in Orlando, FL.
The Vision K-20 survey consists of questions related to 21st century learning, differentiated instruction, mobile/online access, assessment tools, enterprise support, and demographics. It's meant to be used as a benchmarking tool for individual institutions while also compiling aggregate data for a national report to be released at a later date.
"We've developed a vision for K-20 education to ensure all students have access to a learning environment that prepares them to compete globally and lead the world in innovation," said Karen Billings, vice president of the SIIA Education Division. "This year, in addition to reporting progress over the last seven years, for the first time we will ask educators to identify how they are using mobile technology in the classroom."
SIIA is exhibiting in booth 1431 in the FETC exhibit hall. Complete survey details can be found on SIIA's site.

Is there any problem with having a 14" long element in a 15.25" diameter pot? I don't see why there would be besides having to work around it when cleaning. Can't think of any reason you'd need the element not super-close to the side of the pot, just trying to cover bases. Bought a 5500W and would rather not downgrade to the 4500W.
Nope, none that I can think of...
nope, my element is within about 1/4" of the wall, no problems

Confused here Alien Vapor is bad but who is AVE?
AVE is Alien VISIONS.... they sell the good Boba's Bounty.
This thread is meant to warn people that some jerks are selling bad ejuice using the name Alien Vapors in a effort to steal away customers from AVE and rip of vapers in general by selling cheap stuff.
The real Alien Vision can be found here... Alien Visions E-Juice
And their contact address is:
Alien Visions E-Juice, Inc.
42659 Raywood Dr.
Lancaster, Ca. 93536
Update: I demanded a refund within a few hours of ordering (when I figured out my mistake) and it took a few hours but all seems well at this point. I can't speak to the quality of their product but seem to be reasonable to deal with. Opinions may vary........
I'll sticky this for a few months, hopefully it will deter some people from getting grafted. Thanks to everyone for contributing!
Come visit us: www.avejuice.com
So this is where to get the real BOBA'S BOUNTY?

Okay, I forget if this was already made...I feel like it has but I haven't seen like a thread was made for this yet (Well unless I'm blind). So I had a few question about the launcher in terms of the abilities of it. Starting with there will be a Feed the Beast launcher for minecraft correct? Second; How often do you (the devs of FTB) believe it will check for updates for mods? Every so often or every time the launcher is accessed? And Third; I heard that it will have the ability to disable mods and such. How do you predict this will be like? Using a launcheresque window, would you select and option along the lines of "Mod Selection" and have the ability to disable mods with lets say, a checkmark next to the mod name? And even though these will be answered when the whole site, launcher, and mods are complete, I was just a bit curious right now. And if there isn't a questionnaire type thread for the launcher, please do NOT make another one and use this thread to ask devs about anything that has to do with the launcher.
plus will said Launcher be Open Source? And will it have a Credit Screen? Any "Effects" Planned? Music/Animation? jst my usesless wonderings
In the future, when asking a long list of questions, please use some form of numbered list or something. Yes, of course there will be a launcher. It will check for updates every time you log in. Initially, you will probably not be able to enable mods. That will probably come in a future version of the launcher. For now, we just want to get this thing functional. Then we'll start putting in some more advanced stuff. When we do add the option, I'd imagine it would be some sort of list with checkboxes for each mod.
I would use some form of simple splash screen like they do with texture packs so people who watch youtubers or twitchers etc that they see at least in some form or another what the mod pack is even if it is just "The coders and compilers of Feed the Beast thank you for choosing FTB mod pack and we thank the moders for allowing and helping us put it all together." And have your a picture behind it that changes with each version.

The Luckenbill Legacy
When it came time to apply to college, there was only one option for Kirstin Luckenbill '16. She visited three schools but submitted her only application to Lebanon Valley College, following in the footsteps of her father, Brian Luckenbill '88.
Father and daughter have more in common than choice of college. Brian graduated with a degree in music education with a voice concentration. His daughter shares the same major with the same concentration but with ambitions of expanding to piano.
"We're very into music," Brian said. "I've been into music all my life. When I went to college, I didn't look at any college other than Lebanon Valley either. I heard that Lebanon Valley was great for music. It wasn't far from my home. That's how I decided."
"His stories definitely influenced me, but he wasn't the only reason I came here," Kirstin said. "My parents didn't pressure me to come here – though they were obviously thrilled that I was going to come here. They wanted me to apply to more than one school, but I just didn't want that."
At home and in church, Kirstin either sings or plays flute in accompaniment to Brian's piano playing. Though he did not end up teaching music professionally, Brian serves as director of music in his church and works as a third grade teacher.
Kirstin aspires to someday teach private lessons in a studio setting. While that goal will require a great deal of real-world experience, she is consistently building her résumé. In high school, she was involved in chorus, band, musical, show choir, county chorus, and the National Honor Society. "I've looked into a lot of activities on campus already, but I'm trying not to overload myself right away," she said. "I'm in concert choir and marching band, but I'm still looking for things to get involved in."
Kirstin is one of 18 legacy students to come to LVC this fall – each with one or both of their parents listed among LVC's alumni. Though she also has friends who have graduated from the College, her father's remains the most trusted voice when Kirsten wants to hear about college life and LVC history.
"It was really a lot of fun," Brian said. "We'd be with a tour guide going around. The guide would say something, and I'd have to interject. I had to let them know different things about when I was there. It was a lot of fun."
Legacy students at LVC also benefit from the
Children of Alumni Award
– a scholarship program that grants $2,500 per year, for a maximum per-student benefit of $10,000 over the course of four years.

Look no further! "Czech" me out!
You are... looking for love, active, curious, enjoy life to the fullest, not afraid to try something new... among other things :) I like to laugh and make others laugh. My friends would describe me as intelligent, curious, social, and fun loving. I like doing a lot of things and don't hesitate to try something new. I am looking for someone to share all the fun with. I love spending time with family and friends. I enjoy weekend road trips and love to travel. Being outdoors makes me happy. I am relatively new to Colorado and take advantage of the ability to hike, white water raft, ski, snowshoe, and just explore... all in my own backyard. I like to hang out in bookstores and cafes and read or just people watch. I appreciate arts and enjoy a theater performance here and there. I have been painting for a couple of years and really like photography as well. Live concerts are also fun. I am perfectly happy staying at home and enjoying a quiet evening or low key weekend as well. Movies, books, cooking, wine, and quiet conversations are all my favorites. I think it's important that everything is sought and enjoyed in moderation. You don't have to like everything I do but having some interests in common I think is a must. I am open to learning about and appreciating your hobbies and interests as well.
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing
