Get Involved in the Life of Bridgeport
Bridgeport is based on an infrastructure that we hope is efficient, non-hierarchical, and promotes community building. Everyone's help is needed to do the work and ministry of Bridgeport, and to help it become the church you want it to be. There are several Teams and Task Groups that coordinate our programs and projects.
Below are the standing Teams at Bridgeport. Each of the Teams has a job that is on-going; whereas, a Task Group focuses on getting their task completed and then the group disbands.
If you are feeling blessed to share your one-of-a-kind self with Bridgeport, please consider joining one of the Teams. To participate in a standing Team, contact the church office and we'll put you in touch with the team leaders. Join up and join in the life of the church! If you have a new idea for a project, see the Congregation President, Kaye McDonald, or Pastor Alan Claassen, or bring your idea to the next Administry meeting.
- Church Council - The Council is both the visionary and the business group at Bridgeport. The group is a combination of all the Teams, with a representative from each, in addition to the officers, and anyone else interested in the vision and business of Bridgeport. The folks in this group are responsible for establishing the budget and monitoring finances. Policies, overall programs, and other business issues of the church are also managed by this group. Check the calendar for the next meeting date.
Bridgeport Teams:
- Community Life - This team organizes special events and provides support and care for the congregation. Have fun and build a closer community here at Bridgeport.
- Education - This team organizes the educational activities for our kids and adults, including the children's ministry, Sunday school, and adult education.
- Facilities - This team cares for our church building and property. The folks on Facilities coordinate building rentals, plan for future use, and schedule upkeep and improvements, giving all Bridgeporters an opportunity "to help out around the house." Since we don't have a budget that can cover lawn service, this is essential!
- Finance – This team is knows the importance of reading financial reports and creating budgets.
- Justice and Witness encompasses all areas of our faith in action in the world, including community service, global involvement, and peace and justice work. This team oversees our food donations and seeks to engage all of the congregation in service to the community.

Antonio Stoppani
Antonio Stoppani (24 August 1824 – 1 January 1891) was an Italian Catholic priest, geologist and palaeontologist.
Born in Lecco, Stoppani became professor of geology in the Royal Technical Institute of Milan, and was distinguished for his researches on the Triassic and Liassic formations of northern Italy.
Among his works were:
- Paleontologie Lombarde (1858-1881)
- Les petrifaction d'Esino (1858-1860)
- Géologie et paleontologie des conches a Avicula Contorta en Lombardie (1860-1865)
- Corso di geologia (3 vols, 1871-1873)
- L'Era Neozoica (1881)
In this last work the author discussed the glaciation of the Italian Alps and the history of Italy during the Pleistocene age.
Stoppani was very important as a popularizer of science. His most popular work, Il Bel Paese (1876), presents - by means of 32 didactical/scientific conversations in front of a fireplace - ideas and concepts of the natural sciences, with a language that was accessible to the average 19th-century reader, and particularly deals with geology and the beauties of the Italian landscape.
He was the great-uncle of Maria Montessori.[1]
In 1873 Stoppani acknowledged the increasing power and impact of humanity on the Earth's systems and referred to the 'anthropozoic era'.[2] This suggestion was ignored and considered unscientific at that time, but was revived in the 1990s by Paul Crutzen when he suggested the new geological epoch anthropocene. Stoppani was here far ahead of his own time.

Hello, This is my fifth batch of beer, and it is a big Belgian Quad. OG was 1102. I topped up to 19 liters in the primary and pitched 2 vials of WLP500. Fermentation is complete now (FG 1024) and it is conditioning. What I don't understand is now the volume reads 21 liters. Is this because those yeasties multiplied enough to take up 2 more liters in volume? If so, that's a lot of yeasties.
Tap 1- JubelAle Clone Tap 2- Evening Bite Pale Ale Tap 3- Twilight Clone Tap 4- Dicks Danger Ale Clone "Today I felt like burning some calories....So I found a fat kid and set him on fire"
Well, the density of water is 1 kg/liter... An OG of 1.102 means your original density is 1.102 kg/liter. You said it was 19 liters, so your mass is ( 1.102 kg/liter ) * (19 liters) = 20.94 kg During fermentation, your mass is pretty much constant. So if the density decreases and the mass stays the same, then the volume must increase. So with an FG of 1.024, your density is 1.024 kg/liter. Then, your final volume is: ( 20.94 kg ) / (1.024 kg/liter) = 20.45 liters Your increase in volume: ( 20.45 liters ) - ( 19 liters) = 1.45 liters So, you should expect an increase of about 1.5 liters during fermentation of such a large beer.

Fast shipping. Part was good quality and went on very easy! Thanks
Very satisfied, except that no gaskets were included, which would have been nice to know. I'd buy from the Geeks again.
Great service, perfect fit, would use Parts Geek again.
Great pricing you get your money worth. I have an older vehiclenand finding parts for an older car can be challenging some times.

Winner | |
Runner-Up | |
Third Place |
When a copperhead snake snuck up and bit Alyssa Singer's Doberman, Miles, on the muzzle, she didn't think twice about rushing her pup to the vet. But the $600 vet bill stopped her in her tracks. Miles was fine after a dose of anti-venom and some TLC but Alyssa's account is still recovering. Melissa Vincent's Bichon Frise, Fenway, needed not one but two knee surgeries to repair subluxating patellas, a fairly common orthopedic problem in the breed. Melissa ended up shelling out more than $4000 to get Fenway back up and running again. So let's talk about pet insurance and how you can prepare for the cost of vet visits. When it comes to homeowners insurance or car insurance we really don't have a choice but to pay our premiums. But with optional insurance programs, like pet health insurance, it's easy to ask, "Do I really need that?" If you have pets, the one thing you can count on is that they will need veterinary care, from routine check-ups and vaccinations to emergency care or surgery. The other thing you can count on: it's not cheap. To help you pick the right pet insurance for your dogs and cats, we've selected the 2015 winners for best pet insurance providers. Here we'll answer some of the most commonly asked questions such as
- Do I need pet insurance?
- What are the pros and cons of pet insurance?
- How do pet insurance programs compare?
You can also check out our article, Is Pet Insurance Worth It? And, at the end of this article, you can view our Reasons To Get Pet Insurance infographic. Woof! Woof! Big, slobbery kisses to The Seattle Times for their endorsement of our best pet insurance carrier recommendations.

Why Do I Need Pet Insurance?
Why pay a monthly or quarterly premium to a pet insurance company when you could just stash some savings every month in an account earmarked for vet bills? While putting money aside is always a good plan, it doesn't always provide the extended financial cushion that the right insurance program can offer. Simply put, with pet insurance your money stretches much further than the actual out-of-pocket cost of treatment.
Scenario: Your Dog Has Cancer. Now What?
Let's say you faithfully saved $25 a month for five years and your vet bill savings account sits at $1,500—that's roughly the equivalent of five years of pet health insurance premiums. Unfortunately, your $1500 in savings won't stretch beyond initial testing, diagnosis and a few treatments. With a pet health insurance plan, that monthly investment of $25 ensures that you are financially covered for minor and major illnesses such as cancer, unexpected injuries, chronic condition care and even some routine visits, ensuring that a significant portion of what you the vet is reimbursed to you. (Keep in mind, just like human health insurance, vet insurance costs can vary based on a variety of factors such as level of coverage chosen, the breed and age of the animal, pre-existing conditions, etc.)
How Does Pet Insurance Work
The majority of pet health insurance plans work by reimbursing you for the cost of veterinary care. After paying the initial cost of your pet's vet visit, you'll request a duplicate, itemized receipt which you then send in to your pet's insurance company along with a completed claim form. Claims are usually processed within a month and a reimbursement check is sent back to you. Some companies (our top three all do) guarantee a certain turnaround time on payout as an added benefit. The amount of your reimbursement depends on your insurance policy details and exclusions, the type of procedure, the cost of that procedure, the allowance per procedure on your policy and your plan's deductible.
Three Types of Pet Insurance: Wellness vs. Illness vs. Accident Coverage
Car insurance covers you in the case of an accident or theft – something unexpected and unplanned. You don't expect car insurance to pay for routine maintenance such as oil changes and tire rotations, and if it did, you would expect to pay a higher premium. Pet insurance is no different; so make sure you are happy with both cost and amount of coverage you receive.
Accident Pet Insurance Coverage
There is no way to plan for an accident but you can prevent it from costing you an arm and a leg. Accident coverage is the most common type of pet insurance. Every pet health insurance company offers accident coverage, no matter the age of your pet.
Illness Pet Insurance Coverage
Illness coverage is often limited and becomes more expensive as you pet ages. That's why it's important to get pet insurance at the youngest age possible to reduce pre-existing condition exemptions and to reduce your monthly cost. Some companies will even lock in the monthly premium for coverage when you start your policy through the life of your dog. This might cost a little more, but if your dog lives fifteen years, it will likely be worth it. Illness insurance coverage is where you can really benefit over the lifetime of your pet's policy.
Wellness Pet Insurance Coverage
Accident and illness coverage is sort of a no-brainer–we can all agree it's good to be insured for the unexpected (and expensive!) Wellness coverage for annual routine exam is a bit more subjective than illness or accident coverage. Wellness coverage depends on whether you'd rather save for these routine annual expenses, or whether you'd rather have wellness insurance as a way to pre-pay and amortize the cost of wellness visits over the course or a year. Keep in mind, a single routine annual vet exam can cost upwards of $300 depending on your vet, where you live, and the types of procedures, vaccinations and tests your vet requires during an annual exam. Shopping for pet insurance probably doesn't make your list of "fun things to do" so our team worked hard to secure insurance quotes for many different types of pets, breeds, and ages and have reported them on our Pet Insurance Quotes page in an easy-to-read-and-review comparison chart.
Pet Insurance Comparison: 2015 Winners
Below you'll find our 2015 winners for best pet insurance companies based on a variety of factors ranging from price and coverage options to reimbursement rates and customer service. Please keep in mind that each policy is different for each pet and is subject to change over time so be sure to read your policy carefully before you sign up for the service.
1st Place Winner: Petplan
Website – Petplan
Call – 866-467-3875 (Be sure to ask for the Canine Journal discount!)
Our highest rated pet insurance plan comes form Petplan. Petplan has the highest customer praise of any of the plans we reviewed for two reasons: truly amazing coverage and they cover what they say they will cover! The monthly cost is a little higher than some of the other companies out there, but that doesn't seem to be a concern for their happy customers. Two other reasons Petplan is top dog in this contest: Petplan covers both hereditary and congenital conditions (in most cases) and does not have age restrictions, making them truly a rare breed in the pet insurance category. Unlike many other plans, Petplan offers unlimited claims for the lifetime of your pet and will not adjust monthly premiums for newly discovered conditions from year to year, so long as you stay current with your plan. Get a discount for multiple pets and apply online via Canine Journal's Petplan link and use the coupon code AFF00122 to save 10% (5% for signing up online + 5% with promo code). To find out how Petplan won, along with pros, cons, coverage details and more, read our in-depth Petplan review.
2nd Place: Healthy Paws
Website – HealthyPaws
Healthy Paws missed the top honors by a nose. This relatively new company (2010) is slightly more expensive than Petplan, but they have less exclusions than our 3rd place pick, Embrace. In our Healthy Paws insurance review, we were impressed that Healthy Paws offers three annual, not per-incident, deductible levels ($100, $250 or $500), three percentage options for actual vet-bill payouts (70%, 80% or 90%) and that there is no cap (per-incident, lifetime, or otherwise) on any of their claims. Healthy Paws also has some of the best customer service reviews in the business, and while they don't pay for pre-existing conditions or offer a wellness option add-on, like Embrace, they do pay for most hereditary and congenital conditions, as well as hip dysplasia, which makes it a great choice for owners with breeds that are genetically predisposed to this condition. Before buying, be sure to request a quote based on your pet and make sure you know exactly what's covered. To learn more about HealthyPaws and how it won our Runner Up award, read our HealthyPaws review.
3rd Place: Embrace
Website – Embrace
Embrace scores points for having excellent customer service and reimbursement coverage. With Embrace, you can completely customize your plan (adjust deductible, reimbursement percentage and coverage options) so that you can create one plan that works within just about any budget. Embrace uses an annual deductible method of accounting for claims so that once your deductible has been met for the year, your insurance starts covering expenses at your plan's reimbursement rate. However, they dropped to third place since they do not cover older pets for illness while both our top contenders do. But, if you have a young, healthy dog or cat, this plan may work well for you. They also have annual vs. lifetime payout and limits. For a more in-depth look at Embrace, please visit our Embrace Pet Insurance Review page.
Specialized Coverage
During our research, we found several companies that are highly specialized in their coverage for cancer and large breeds.
For Cancer
Pets Best is the only provider we found during our research that offers a cancer-only policy. It carries an annual coverage of $8,000 and a $30,000 lifetime coverage. This policy covers cancer diagnosis and treatment, exams, blood work, surgeries, medication, and chemotherapy.
For Large Breeds
Trupanion provides excellent coverage for large breeds: While they have a higher premium, their higher payout makes them a great match for pet parents with large breeds that often incur have higher medical expenses.

Please keep in mind that all information regarding insurance company offerings, pricing and other contract details are subject to change by the insurance company at any time and are not under the control of this website. Information published on this website is intended for reference use only. The only way to know exactly how much a pet insurance policy will cost is to request your own quote and review the cost and coverage details of that quote carefully.
24PetWatch Review
Due to their limited coverage, with enrollment stopping in middle age and unavailability in Alaska, 24PetWatch may not be the most effective way to protect your pet. However, one of the benefits to this insurance company is that while they do have lifetime illness coverage, they do not have limits on lifetime accident coverage. A unique offering they have is a policy called Tenant Care which is specifically designed for pets that live with pet owners in rental properties to ensure Third Party Damage Coverage in addition to more standard coverage.
- The cheapest monthly premium available for a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever is $10.95 for minimal accident coverage. This should be taken with a grain of salt as this will depend upon the type of accident and has a $50 deductible per incident.
- Lifetime illness coverage available.
- Option to purchase coverage for hereditary conditions.
- Provides coverage for prescription and holistic medication when prescribed by a licensed veterinarian.
- Offers Tenant Care for pets that live in rental properties to ensure Third Party Damage Coverage.
- Enrollment limits exist for middle-aged pets. This age ranges from 6 to 8 years old depending on the breed.
- Age limits on lifetime accident coverage.
- Has a maximum payout per-body system for illnesses which can be inconvenient and impractical for certain animals.
- Coverage not available in Alask.
ASPCA Insurance Review
Unfortunately when looking through the overall features offered by the ASPCA insurance company,we cannot highly recommend this company. It's important to note that they they pay a licensing fee to use the ASPCA name but are not affiliated with the ASPCA. They also have a record of very low reimbursements, even under their highest cost plan. Older pets and those with pre-existing conditions are not available for entry-level, lower-price plans. They are also known to adjust payback rates to what they consider "reasonable" which often does not cover your cost.
- ASPCA insurance offers a significant range in their plan costs with the cheapest plan offered to a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever costing $14.70 a month for accident coverage only with a $100 annual deductible.
- Every plan purchased results in a contribution to providing care for ASPCA animals.
- ASPCA is one of the few companies to offer wellness coverage.
- Prescription medication is covered on certain plans.
- No coverage for hereditary and genetic conditions except within the two highest cost plans.
- Dogs age 11 years and older are not eligible for their more comprehensive coverage plans.
- Has a $10.50 signup fee and recurring annual fee.
- Users have found that the ASPCA insurance often cuts claims down to what they consider to be acceptable rates before paying just a percentage of the "reasonable" claim cost.
- Prescription medication is not covered with their basic package.
Embrace Review
Embrace is among our top-rated pet insurance companies but is a better option for those with younger pets. With age limits on illness coverage, older pets are not covered for disease and sickness with this policy.
- Embrace is affordable on a monthly-cost basis with an accident only policy premium starting at $18.53 a month for a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever.
- No per incident limits on their claims as they use an annual deductible method of accounting.
- Covers genetic conditions.
- Offers optional wellness rewards (One time $149 fee to cover up to $200 of your pet's annual wellness exam. Excludes costs for dental cleaning, spay/neuter, etc. Call before you assume if you have questions). This is one of the only companies that offers wellness coverage.
- Age Limits: After a specific age, pets are only eligible for accident coverage, not illness coverage.
- Requires a two-week waiting period for accident and illness coverage and a six-month waiting period for orthopedic conditions
- Deductible must be met prior to reimbursement of treatments.
- Prescription medications coverage is extra.
In Depth Review
Check out our in depth Embrace Pet Insurance Review.
Healthy Paws Review
Healthy Paws users report good customer service, fast reimbursement and very few exclusion incidents. We also found their unlimited coverage (no payout limits) for the lifetime of the pet a unique and valuable feature. Healthy Paws is a newer player in this industry, so coverage and costs may change as they adapt to the market.
- High customer satisfaction.
- Few exclusions, broader coverage benefits.
- Unlimited lifetime coverage so no annual or per incident limits on claims.
- Your pet is covered wherever they travel with you in the United States, Mexico or Canada.
- Offers coverage for hip dysplasia for pets enrolled before age six, with a 12-month waiting period. Coverage for hip dysplasia is not offered by most plans.
- Prescription medication is covered.
- A bit more expensive than others: their minimum premium to cover a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever is $40.35 a month for a 70% reimbursement plan with a $500 deductible.
- Veterinary exam fee is not covered.
Pets Best Review
Pets Best offers a wide range of plan prices and their entry-level plan is one of the cheapest of those we reviewed. However, their deductibles are higher than many other companies, meaning more out of pocket expense for plan holders. Each plan offered by Pet's Best can be customized for deductible cost, annual coverage cost and the level of reimbursement given. It can be difficult to understand their policy because of its limitations on specific conditions so it is best to read policy paperwork thoroughly before purchasing. They are one of the only insurers that offers alternative, holistic treatment coverage. Expect waiting periods for all aspects of this plan.
- Pets Best plan for a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever starts at $14.94 a month.
- Offers limited coverage for chiropractic and acupuncture services.
- Hereditary conditions are given limited coverage if pets are enrolled before their second birthday.
- In recent years, Pets Best has changed its insurance carrier several times.
- The lowest available deductible is $100 versus most other companies that offer $50 deductibles.
- Illness coverage does not begin until two weeks after the policy starts, accident coverage does not begin until three days after the policy begins and routine care coverage (if selected) does not begin until two weeks after the policy starts.

Petplan Review
Petplan is more expensive than many other companies, but offers excellent coverage benefits and has a proven track record of customer satisfaction. Petplan is recommended as the best of the best in terms of their level of coverage (unlimited lifetime — Healthy Paws and Trupanion are the only other companies that offer this) and the fact that they cover hereditary and congenital conditions.
- No lifetime claims limit.
- Covers hereditary, chronic conditions and congenital conditions that are not covered by most other plans.
- High customer satisfaction.
- Monthly premium does not adjust for newly discovered conditions from year to year (as long as you do not let your coverage lapse); also does not escalate based on claims.
- There is a 5% discount for users purchasing their insurance plan online.
- Covers prescription medications.
- Multi-pet discounts.
- Higher monthly premiums than many other companies; begins at $37.53 for accident and illness coverage of a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever.
- A number of policyholders complain that Pet Plan delays payment on claims (often due to a short up-front waiting period as a new customer) and requires extensive proof of treatment documentation.
In Depth Review
Check out our in depth Petplan Insurance Review.
Trupanion Review
Trupanion is somewhat unique because they offer coverage for hereditary and congenital conditions in their core plan as well as coverage for hip dysplasia. (Few companies offer coverage for hip dysplasia without add-ons.)
- Trupanion operates their own insurance underwriting, unlike most other companies, which are backed by other insurance brands. This allows them to pay back 70 cents in claims payments of every dollar paid in premiums.
- Offers an unlimited lifetime limit on coverage.
- Offers optional benefits for additional expenses that cover acupuncture, physical therapy, hydro therapy and behavioral modification training and therapy.
- Hip Dysplasia is part of the core policy for no additional cost.
- The core policy covers hereditary and congenital conditions as well as veterinary supplements.
- Monthly premium cost does not adjust year-to-year for age.
- Prescription medication is covered.
- The deductible and additional fees of this policy are higher than competitors. The lowest deductible offered causes monthly premiums to almost triple.
- The cost of the lowest monthly premium for a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever is $39.80 and this plan has a high $1,000 deductible.
- Charges all policy holders a one-time $35 administration fee.
VPI Review
VPI is one of the most commonly used pet insurance companies however; they are not the best in terms of their reimbursement costs. VPI is affordable and they do offer timely reimbursements as well as the ability to track claims in real time online. Unfortunately, VPI has a track record of poor customer service and "secretly" raising monthly premium rates as pets age
- Offers affordable coverage – a standard plan for a 10-year-old black Labrador Retriever is around $32 a month.
- Covers cruciate surgery* after 12 months on their policy, something that is rarely covered with other insurance plans. (*Cruciate surgery for ruptures is one of the most common orthopedic conditions in dogs and it runs across all breeds.)
- Offers physical therapy coverage in some of their plans.
- Offers wellness coverage.
- Raises their monthly premium rates as pets age.
- Has a high number of complaints by policyholders for declining to pay claims.
- Has a track record of poor customer service and support.
- Prescription medication coverage is an additional cost.

How Do I Choose The Right Dog Insurance? The Right Cat Insurance?
There are many pros and cons to each pet insurance company, plan and pricing. Cost and coverage benefits will vary depending on your pet's breed, age, health, pre-existing, conditions, hereditary conditions, and individual care needs. Remember, you need to anticipate the kind of care your pet might need, so talk with your vet about what you should plan for as your pet ages. Some breeds are more susceptible to hip and joint problems and cancer. This should be taken into consideration as you shop for plans. Choose the best plan based on the right cost AND coverage benefits, not just price alone.
- Narrow down your choices from our pros and cons list above.
- Contact at least three companies and obtain a quote based on the same information about your pet's breed, age, health, conditions, and needs. If you have more than one pet, ask about a multi-pet discount. Pro tip: Have your vet send in each of your pet's records to the company that you are considering. A company that is truly interested in your business will review your pet's records and clearly outline any conditions that will be excluded from your pet's insurance plan (such as pre-existing conditions). They should also identify riders or add-on coverage needed for higher risk conditions for your specific breed. It's important to know exactly what is and what is not covered when you buy any insurance plan.
- Weigh the cost of monthly premiums against the types of coverage offered: accident, illness and wellness, as well as add-ons for special conditions such as cancer or hip dysplasia.
- Review plan deductibles and payout percentages that may impact your real out of pocket costs.
Note: No insurance company covers pre-existing conditions, but different companies may have different criteria for a pre-existing condition. If you're not sure, ask. Better to know up front.
Reasons To Get Pet Insurance Infographic
Insurance Terms You Should Know
Working with any type of insurance can be confusing. Below we will take a look at some of the common terminology used by dog insurance companies.
- Chemotherapy and Radiation Treatment Allowance: The schedule of benefits will also list the maximum reimbursement limit for chemotherapy and radiation treatment as they apply to specific conditions. These two amounts are generally split in to two allowances with the allowance for radiation being much higher than that for chemotherapy.
- Code: The word "code" is listed on your schedule of benefits with most pet insurance companies. Underneath this term you will see a number listed. This is the "code" the company uses to identify the diagnosis given to your pet.
- Co-Payment: The co-pay is the amount of out of pocket expense you must cover per incident after your deductible. The co-payment is usually listed as a percentage, for example 80/20 means that the insurance company will cover 80% of the remaining balance after your deductible is paid and you must pay the remaining 20%.
- Deductible: The deductible is the amount of money you must pay out of pocket before you are eligible to receive reimbursement from your pet's insurance plan. For most companies this deductible must be paid per incident rather than per year. Be sure to understand your agreement, as the annual vs per incident deductible is a big deal.
- Endorsements: Depending upon the insurance company you choose, you may be given the opportunity to purchase an "endorsement." Usually this comes in the form of a cancer endorsement. This is like an add on to your purchased insurance plan and extends the amount of coverage your pet receives for the specific illness listed – in this case, cancer.
- Exclusions: Exclusions are items that are not covered by your policy. This can include: pre-existing conditions, certain musculoskeletal disorders, congenital disorders, hereditary disorders, intentional injuries caused by you or your family and elective or cosmetic procedures. Again, be sure to request a quote and go over any exclusions in detail before signing up.
- General Anesthesia Allowance: On the schedule of benefits, companies will also outline the maximum limit for general anesthesia costs as they apply to specific conditions.
- Pre-Existing Conditions: Every major company in this category excludes pre-existing conditions from their coverage. This means that any ongoing condition your dog or cat was diagnosed with prior to being covered by their policy will not be covered in future claims. For example, if your dog has already been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, any costs associated with this condition will not be covered by most insurance.
- Incidents: The term incident is used to refer to the condition that is causing you to visit the veterinarian. Chronic conditions such as skin allergies are considered to be a single incident even if you pay your veterinarian multiple visits.
- Primary Diagnosis or Condition: This term will appear on your schedule of benefits and refers to the financial limit that the company places on a primary diagnosis or condition which includes injections, hospitalization, exams, surgery and treatment.
- Primary Diagnostic Testing Maximums: This term also appears on your schedule of benefits and refers to the cost limit the company places on primary diagnostic testing. This allowance is generally made per bodily system. In many cases, this benefit limit does not extend to specialized diagnostic tests.
- Schedule of Benefits: The schedule of benefits is a document that is provided to you when you sign up for your policy. This document outlines conditions that are covered under your plan and the monetary allowance you are provided for each diagnosis.
- Secondary Diagnosis or Condition: If your pet is treated for a second condition that occurs as a result of the primary diagnosis then it will be covered under the benefits listed as a secondary diagnosis or condition. This secondary condition will receive financial reimbursement in addition to the primary diagnosis or condition.

Quality Enhancement Plan
Faculty, staff and students at WPU worked diligently between 2008 and 2011 to create a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) as required by the Southern Associates of Colleges and Schools. We believe our topic choice, Ethical Decision Making, will benefit students both personally and professionally while also sharpening their critical thinking skills. The program, aptly nicknamed CHOICES, spans the first year through the senior year and involves case study analysis, considering dilemmas in one's profession, and interactions with leaders who have faced difficult ethical decisions. We invite you to read more about this 4-year program or contact the QEP Committee.

Car Problem Reports
Volkswagen Jetta Timing chain guide rails break
Volkswagen Jetta Problem
Model Year Affected: 2001
Engine Affected: 2.8L V6
Average Mileage: 78,750 mi (78,000 mi - 79,500 mi)
wcraft, 2001 Volkswagen Jetta, 2.8L V6, 78,000 miEnthusiast
The jetta 2.8L VR6 uses a metal timing chain, intended to last the life of the car. But the chain rides, and is tensioned by several plastic guide rails. It is common for the guide rails to fail before 100,000 miles. When they fail, the timing chain will at best make a lot of noise - like marbles in a can. But the risk of the chain skipping a tooth or more on the sprockets is high and will throw off the timing. This will cause the car to run rough (if at all) and acceleration will be VERY poor. Because of the "interference" nature of these engines, a mis-timed engine can cause valve and/or piston damage which is an expensive repair.
My Jetta is going through repair of the timing chain guide rails now. It requires removal of the transmission - no small thing.

Visitor, 2001 Volkswagen Jetta, 2.8L V6, 79,500 mi
the engine made a loud sound as I was driving 20 MPH, a few blocks later the car stalled. It would not turn over and had a whining noise when I tried to restart the engine... It was towed to a VW dealer who said they would have to pull the head off to fully diagnosis the problem. They saw the timing mark was out of align and estimated $1500-$4500. If there was valve, head or piston damage those parts would be extra plus the timing chain parts.
Its was a good car, very clean and reliable. I hoped to keep it a few more years....now it just don't seem to make sense to put that much money into that open ended repair estimate. The repair shop said they never saw a car with that low a mileage ever have that type of problem.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

Google has invented this new data exchange format called Protocol Buffers [code.google.com], and it's definitely worth a look.
Why not use XML? The Developer Guide [code.google.com] says:
Protocol Buffers
An example, also from the Developer Guide:
<person> <name>John Doe</name> <email>email@example.com</email> </person>
while the corresponding protocol buffer message definition (in protocol buffer text format) is:
person { name = "John Doe" email = "email@example.com" }
In binary format, this message would probably be 28 bytes long and take around 100-200 nanoseconds to parse. The XML version is at least 69 bytes (if you remove whitespace) and would take around 5,000-10,000 nanoseconds to parse.
Does the syntax of PB look familiar? yeah... it's like someone got inspired by JSON and C, then removed all the fluff.
Protocol Buffers even have their own DTD-like definition syntax, which you store in a ".proto" file. At first glance, it looks like an evolved DTD with newer syntax, but actually it's far less kludgy and far more interesting.
This is another strong contender in an arsenal of data exchange formats that already includes XML, CSV, JSON, etc.
Then I wondered why Google would want to kill JSON. Still don't have an answer to that one... :/
- the message itself is a nicely compact definition of names and values - the "proto" file defines what you expect to see in the message - the proto is used to autogenerate parsing code in several languages (Java, C++, Python), with methods for get, set, et al. - the autogenerated parser turns the message into a well-defined object or class - after parsing, the data in the message is very easily accessed and manipulated
The Google developers don't assert that this is a "replacement" for XML. It's just a better data carrier in many situations. The things that XML claims to be good at are still accomplished best with XML:
- XML is better for describing a text-based document with markup, whereas PB doesn't easily interleave structure with text - XML is human-readable, and human-editable, whereas PB is squished into binary - XML is self-describing, whereas PB relies on a proto file to describe the content of a message
Protocol Buffers, to me, seems to accomplish for C++ and Java what JSON does for Javascript, albeit in a necessarily more complex way. It encapsulates data in a tight, slim format that is easily parsed by the recipient language.
Bravo, Google!
IMHO, the name is horrid... What the heck does "Protocol Buffer" mean? I had to look it up, and even then I wasn't satisfied with the etymology. I guess the name, like PB itself, is not "self-describing" ;)
PB can offer the same kind of data fluidity to Java, C++, and Python. Maybe a PHP5 parser will emerge next! That would be a thrill.
Can you have a new {} pair inside a "quoted" value.
In XML, you have nested <tag></tag> pairs, which you can extend almost infinitely.
In the new schema, you have { } pairings at one level and name = "data" structures at another (lower) level.
I've been dealing with data records for many years and I think that there are far better ways to describe data and present variable or fixed type records in ways that the receiver can then use them than either XML or PB.
At the moment all PHB's have been sold the delusion that XML is the solution to all their worries. In most cases it is terrible because most language objects and xml do not map at all (for example attributes vs child nodes), most of my XML parsing code ends up just squeezing some XML into native objects to pass to the next part of my script.
There should be a PHP parser since that is the most widely used language. I hope that this gets some hold, but I am very doubtful. The lack of popular parsers is a hindrance, plus it has a stupid name. Protocol Buffers sounds like it is to do with protocol handlers. They should have called it Hyper XML 2.0 if they want traction in the enterprise.
Kinda like JAVAscript?
Sorry. Couldn't resist...
Actually, I have to pick at one thing Yon Honorable Witch of The Web stated:
Running a JSON object through an eval() is not what I call "native." They should have built in a more straightforward way of resolving it by now.
To wit:
var myGodThisIsSimple = someJSONParameter;
typedef person { char* name, char* email } individual;
Agreed on, comming with a PHP background I feel I can learn that new one pretty swiftly
Could you call Mr.G and ask for that php parser :)
person { name:John Doe email:firstname.lastname@example.com }
Commerce: "I've been dealing with data records for many years and I think that there are far better ways to describe data and present variable or fixed type records in ways that the receiver can then use them than either XML or PB."
Can you give an example?
Don't you need a stop somewhere? will not this reads as name:John Doeemail:etc... so why not person { name:John Doe; email:email@example.com; }
How is that catered for?
This is not a valid .proto file because it actually has data. The proto file is supposed to define the class not actually supply data.
The original example should be
<person><name>Joe Blogs</name></person>
Its a binary format, so none of it is readable except the proto files. The original post is confusing because the PB example is not correct. An actual example of a .proto file would be like this.
1,2 and 3 are not data values, they are used by the parser to mark attributes.
For a human readable format PB looks good to me. Less memory, traffic and less decoding.
I don't think it's human readable. I think it's a compiled format, like X.409 (Sorry, I looked for an authoritative link, but the industry has worked so hard to bury the nightmare that was X.409 that it looks like it's time to repeat it).
I assumed line endings, but the example using a semi-colon would do better.
So how is that better than XML in terms of legibility? (Think of future generations trying to understand PB code.)
Every single byte that goes on their page needs to be championed. It is probably the most valuable real estate in the world, making the Emperor's Palace in Tokyo look like a double-wide at Lakeside Trailer Park.
I can definitely understand why they don't want to use XML.
However, I am not Google, and my property is more like a lean-to outside the Manilla Dump. There is no valid reason for me to publish an SDK like PB. XML will do just fine for me.
I think the CSS like example and the comparison to XML is fairly confusing. It is more like CORBA or SOAP combined with PHP's serialize or python's pickle which can be read by any supported language. The fact that this serialized format can be transfered over the wire is incidental, the binary output could be saved to disk.
It is nothing to do with being easier than XML, its more about using the right tool for the job and cutting down on bloat.

This one actually has a chance, as it is backed by a corporation (which always seems to help standards become standards). However, this is pretty much exactly like X.409.
X.409 was developed for exactly the same reason, but was about messaging only, and didn't have some of the nice bells and whistles Google has added.
I doubt many of the folks on this board will be directly using PB, as it is really a server-level protocol that actually sits below the level of most implementations.
However, if they add a PB compiler/decompiler (not parser) to PHP (It would need to be a PEAR or PECL extension, for backwards compatibility), then it would start being a lot more accessible.
PHP has a problem, in that C++ programmers hate it. They view it like VB. They have a point, but PHP delivers on the empty promises of VB, and needs to be taken very, very seriously. PHP5.1 is finally becoming a usable OO language (but is still kinda Playskool, compared to C++).

Oh no! Jacqueline goes on a Twitter rampage against Teresa after Teresa allegedly starts rumors about their co-star Melissa Gorga being a former stripper!
The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has reportedly been starting rumors about her sister-in-law Melissa Gorga implying that Melissa used to be a stripper. But Teresa's co-star Jacqueline Laurita is done with Teresa running her mouth about Melissa and over the weekend Jacqueline waged Twitter war on Teresa in Melissa's defense!
"Lies! Teresa told me that 'rumor' about Melissa when she first started the show," Jacqueline tweeted on Oct. 1. "She wanted her out then. She knew. She plotted it. She played dumb on camera and even defended Melissa."
Jacqueline continued and warned that more details are soon to surface. "You figure it out. There is even a lot more to the story that will eventually come out," she said. "Be patient. She's no good and yes… She has stabbed me in the back PLENTY of times. I'm not so forgiving anymore."
Jacqueline also shared six screen shots of her correspondence with Teresa through text messages. Teresa, on the other hand, has refrained from speaking about the situation over Twitter.
Jacqueline's main point: "Teresa is scum!"

I agree with some who say that Teresa was out of line, but I just think Kathy and Melissa know how to play the game better. When the show first aired, Kathy and Melissa were acting very arrogant and ridiculing Teresa, but then when they realized that the public didn't like it, they put on a fake presentation. Also, look how Caroline and her family bash and make fun of Teresa constantly throughout the show.
I'm sorry but even though I dont like how Teresa is acting, everyone else has provoked her too much.
Posted at 10:09 AM on November 4, 2011
Caroline,Kathy and Melissa are phony and instigators just like Andy Cohen.He will do just anything for ratings.Teresa is honest.I don't think she's uneducated.In New Jersey people have a poor vocabulary,look at Jerseylucious.How dumb those women sound.teresa let us see the kids fighting,screaming, sleeping or wathever.Caroline three adults children are worst then Teresa 's kids…we don't see it.Kathy is a bad cousin.Her husband has a dirty mouth.Her kids are …the girl must close her mouth (always open)and the boy Joseph he's ok.
Posted at 9:10 PM on June 24, 2012
@Terry: You're so right!
@Jackie: Uh, as someone who lives in a part of Pennsylvania that's right next to New Jersey, I can say that all people in Jersey don't have a poor vocabulary. Jersey characters on TELEVISION have a poor vocabulary.
And Caroline isn't an instigator, but she does go wherever the majority is with the housewives.

To Jacqueline, please fix your problem first with your daughter before condemning other people.
To Caroline, an intelligent person will not go down the way you did. I hope that you have your Ph.D. to claim that you are an intelligent lady.
The show did so bad in morale values of how housewives of New Jersey behaves in person. Only Teresa and her family showed fun, loving, fashion even if the other housewives rejoiced of her financial difficulties. Her cousin Kathy and Melissa should have not been included, they only created troubles on the show, or probably they were told to do it to add flavor on the show.

I felt sorry for Teresa watching everyone attacking her live on television to include her financial difficulties. Up until the other night watching the reunion Andy and Caroline showed their unprofessional behaviors. They insulted Teresa on how she pronounces words. The producer of this show should replace everyone but Teresa. Teresa showed fun, fashion, and family love. She never insulted her husband on TV.

One more thing, is there anyway someone can post all of the links to Melissa and Joe's "media moments" before the show aired? Melissa was ripping Teresa apart in the Media before the show aired, that would be before she realized fans didn't take to family hating on family on the media. Which is the only reason she stopped.
I hate how fans of the show forever so easily. I hate it even more that Jacqueline and Caroline think we're stupid and most of the fans areproving them right. Caroline said to Teresa: you ripped these women apart infront of the nation. Teresa bashed her family far less than they bashed her on air. For two, Melissa tore Teresa apart in the media. WTF is Caroline even talking about? Does she only see one side, or does she think we are stupid? I go with the latter.
Posted at 6:20 PM on October 21, 2011
Jacqueline is far worse than Teresa, IMO! The very idea that Jacquline was too disgusted with Teresa to show up at the reunion is comical. This is the same woman that brought out every sorted detail of Danielle's life on camera, (with no regard for her children) and even between seasons she was meeting up with Danielle's ex to take a lie detector test. But oh, she was so upset over Teresa bringing out something from Melissa's past? Stripping? Like that would have stayed in the bag for long anyways. All season long Melissa, and Kathy have bad mouthed Teresa and her books, etc. These women are delusional. They only see the faults of others, somehow believing the faux persona they put on for TV cameras is who they really are. Another thing, Jacqueline and Caroline pretend to know so much about Melissa and Kathy, who they've known for a minute when they both admit they didn't know Teresa, after 10 years, until this season? BS. Jacquline ignored when it benefitted her. She is the biggest fraud on all the HW frachises combined. If everyone werent so dead set against getting Teresa, (for reasons I can't begin to understand? She's done nothing the others haven't done) they would see the truth. Psssh Just look at the relationship between Jacquline and Kim G, that says it all! Jacquline is as obsessed with hurting Teresa as she was Danielle, and I can't believe it's over Melissa. She has a serious problem! Guaranteed Jacquline will be meeting up with someone from Teresa's past and posted her new found information on Twitter before too long.
If Teresa is guilty of what she's accused, she still guilty of less than Jacquline and the Manzo family! open your eyes, the smoke is blinding you!
Posted at 1:33 PM on October 18, 2011
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Teresa forcing a fashion show on her family, it was so transparent that she was highly jealous of Melissa and she wanted the spotlight on her. Teresa you are as fake as your water balloon boobs. The other housewives aren't much better but at least they have some substance to them and brain. To me, Teresa is the most boring of them all. To Deborah who posted on here-you really think Teresa has a "real career??" Please-you know all she did was talk and someone wrote the text, she probably put a few of her own recipes and picked the rest up off the internet. The only part she put effort into was trying to make sure she and her girls looked perfect…they never ever have showed her actually WORKING on her book!!!!
Posted at 7:45 AM on October 20, 2011
You are so right!!!! Theresa is a dirty skank. Believe it or not, she was my favorite up until later last season. Her true colors have shown through. She is a greedy, self-serving IDIOT with not one bit of sense in her.
Joe, her husband, is also NO GOOD. It's obvious now that they are a couple of scrubs looking to make a buck any way they can.
I'm sorry, not to pick on the kids, but PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, we are going to have to worry about FOUR more Theresa's out there in the near future. They will be the typical social climbers that we hear about; expecting all for nothing.
Go back to Italy, Theresa. Maybe they can understand you there?

Who gives Caroline all this power that whatever she says is gospel. Seems to me she likes to dish out advice to everyone but certainly does not like the tables turned on her when other women have opinions. That radio station in New Jersey must not have much of a following if the best entertainment they can provide is Caroline Manzo! If you ask me they have all put the knives in each others backs. You may not like Theresa but she is the only one walking through fire with everything going on in her life. I give her all types of credit for that. Also, she is the only one with a real career by writing cookbooks on the bestseller lists, when all the other women can do is cry about how much they dispise her for having a real career and not depending on anyone to solely support her.

I watch all the Housewives shows and I have to say some cast members I grown to love but then end up disliking. As season 3 of HWONJ aired I believed Teresa was innocent and Melissa was causing the drama between Teresa and her bother because these types of situation really do happen. However, as I watch season 3 unravel I became fond of Melissa more than Teresa for many reasons. I have to admit I have a pet peeve about children's behavior… Teresa kids are out of control! My children are not allowed to climb over the future, displays at any stores, or throw fits over what they are going to wear. It is unacceptable in my house hold. In addition, we are only allowed to see how Teresa says she wants her family to get along but she continues to start drama between everyone. Melissa on the other hand is trying to make a mends with Teresa for her husband and family sake by ignoring all the rude comments Teresa says to her face. That shows me how family orientated Melissa really is because if I was Melissa; well I just won't go there. Also what I really don't like is how Teresa had the nerve to say something nasty about Caroline in her new book when Caroline is probably one of the most honorable people on any of the housewives shows. Yes Caroline said she was annoyed with Teresa on their cast vacation but get real, who wouldn't have gotten annoyed by watching a late 30 year old or 40 old something woman acting like a teenage OMG!! Have some dignity Teresa you're a mother and your children are going to watch this show in future. Furthermore, Teresa children are going to see how she has been the one who's been causing all the drama in their family, how sad. Not only that but how their father has drinking problem and dragged his family into financial problems. OMG I pray that these children are not emotionally harmed from this show now or in the future. What most bothering for me is to watch a child cry over family drama because they hurt and the mom continues to go down that same path. For me as a mother my children come first, I am their role model. I am trying to live an honorable life with good morals and value so my children grow up with the same views. I know this is possible on a reality show because there are many other housewives who are honorable to themselves and their family. Teresa you and your husband should be a shame of yourselves.

But it is totally ok to bash your sister-in-law the whole season????? That is your girl's idea of family orientation. AND obviously the public does not see everything that has happened. Melissa, Kathy, Jacqueline, and Caroline are all pieces of trash. Teresa is better of without them.

It's about damn time that Jacqueline finally opened her eyes, along with everyone else, and realized what a horrible person Theresa is. Can't eveyrone see how she is nothing but an evil, jealous person? She hates everyone because they have more money than she does. They need to take this horrible looking woman and her troll kids off the show. I am disgusted each week listening ot a middle aged ugly woman talk about having sex with that shrimp of a husband of hers who is so overweight he needs a bra. He has bigger boobs than she does. She's out of her mind, jealous, and taking recipes off the internet to pretend they are family recipies. And she doesn't even care that her husband has a child out of wedlock with someone else and is STILL cheating on her. When there is absolutely no more money left, and her "book" money is gone, she will divorce him. Good for you, Jacquelin. This woman is pure evil, and her kids are brats.

I agree with your post. Bravo let Theresa LIE on TV about their bankruptcy. The papers are on the internet, all the info is out there, yet Bravo let her lie and lie and lie. Theresa is SO jealous and it has gotten truly sickening. TIME to clean up HWNJ just like they did NY. Keep everyone EXCEPT Theresa and "Juicy" Joe. UGH

You are SPOT ON !!!!!!!!
Theresa is so jealous she can't even see strait. Her murky, brown eyes are turning green with envy of the other women. She cannot STAND anybody else, especially Melissa, having any success OR attention.
Don't they know……this is the THERESA show????? That is her attitude. I honestly think there is something missing from her soul. Maybe a few things missing. She is the most self centered, self serving, self promoting, jealous and UGLY , mustached woman I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jacqueline, got her nickers in a bunch when Teresa suggested, rightfully so that she blindly went with the 'let's hate Danielle' campaign at the behest of her co-stars Caroline and Jacqueline. Caroline's immature and slightly paranoid dislike of Danielle and her past misdeeds got the best of her and she insisted that there had to be a choice between her 'famlee' and team Danielle. Teresa and Jacque fell dutifully in line.
Fast forward 2 years and now we have Teresa expecting that the Manzo clan would rally behind her in the Gorga/Gorga feud…WRONG!!! The real loser in both scenarios? Teresa Gorga Giudice! What an idiot this woman is to believe 1) that Caroline had a real gripe w/ Danielle to begin with and 2) that they veiwed her stupid ass as an equal–LOL funny! Somewhere Danielle is laughing her ass off!

This season of NJ Housewives, Teresa, has become unbelievably hateful and bitter, her loser husband, Joe, the same. Why Bravo hasn't thought of giving these two a 'pink slip' is a shame for the rest of the cast. It was difficult to watch w/ Danielle, now, Teresa, Jaqueline wants out, just cancel this group and save a little cash, Bravo.

But again as I said before it's totally fine for all of them to bash her every time in an interview? I don't think she lies, it's everyone around her that lies about her. She is constantly trying to defend herself and she is getting sick of her "family" trying to take her down. They are only there to ride her coattails of success. Melissa can not under any circumstances sing. Just because you have been doing it since you were a kid does not mean you have actual talent. And Kathy, seriously anyone who can read should be able to follow a recipe.
Posted at 12:21 PM on October 20, 2011
Sometimes you share wicked thoughts with your best friend. Especially at your angriest ranting moment. You say things in private to your friend that you wouldn't want repeated. It doesn't mean when the friend turns on you they should share your inner most thoughts with the world. Jacqueline knows when you talk about someone's man the messenger is always the one attacked. She should no better. You should stay out of Joe Guidice business on that one period! Caroline is always rolling eyes and making snide remarks. She has no appeal and only supports her kids semi careers. Jacqueline rants like a child. Hold some back why do you.

Movie Info
This entry in Hammer Films' long-running vampire series of the '60s and '70s is one of the most evocative and original. The story features voluptuous twin Playboy centerfolds Madeleine and Mary Collinson as sisters who, without parents, are sent to stay with their oppressive uncle (Peter Cushing, looking more emaciated than ever), who happens to live near the sinister Karnstein Castle, the locale of countless vampiric happenings in two prequels (The Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire).

All Critics (16) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (2) | DVD (2)
It's well performed, adequately eerie (with terrific lighting), superbly scored, and filled with enough heaving bosoms to pass muster. At the end of the day, that's all one can truly ask of a B-level fright film.
The lively and atmospheric but flawed horror pic might be routine and limited by its slack story, but it is entertaining and holds up better than most vampire pics.
These ain't the Doublemint twins. We're talking horror....Hammer style. "Twins of Evil" is the 1971 classic from Britain's Hammer Studios featuring Peter Cushing as the leader of a Puritan witch-hunting club.
The film offers more than just a gimmick, thanks to the shifting dynamics between the characters, the emphasis on evil at both ends of the spectrum, and a shot of witchcraft into the usual vampiric proceedings.
The true Twins of Evil are not the sisters but the puritan witch-burner, Gustav Weil, and the vampire aristocrat, Count Karnstein: The men have similarly cadaverous faces, and at one point are introduced by looming closeups that reinforce the resemblance.
... earns its place in the Hammer canon of cult horrors.
Even though time has since separated the film from its Playboy gimmick, TWINS still has a campy feel to it
Audience Reviews for Twins of Evil
Twins of Evil is without doubt one of Hammer's very finest films. The film blends together a few different elements of horror. We've got witches (and the resulting witch hunts), devil worship and, of course, vampirism. These things combine to make one very nice Hammer film indeed. Naturally, the film benefits immensely from the incredibly beautiful ladies that play the twins of the title - Mary and Madeleine Collinson. The two are the ultimate in sweetness, which makes it all the better when one of them becomes more like the title suggests. The plot is relatively simple given all the elements it combines. We follow Gustav Weil (Peter Cushing on fine form) as a religious man by day, and witch hunter/burner by night. The beautiful twins of the title go to live with him after the death of their parents. However, the village in which they live is beneath a castle, inside of which lives the evil devil worshipper; Count Karnstein.
Like some Hammer offerings, Twins of Evil does cross the line into camp here and there and features a number of over the top performances but that being said Hammer Horror is at their best when they're combining several things and tweaking classic stories, and that is what is done here. Twins of Evil is a very original take on the classic vampire story and is therefore a lot of fun to view. It benefits from the direction of John Hough; the man who would later go on to make the seminal classic, "The Legend of Hell House". I actually think he did a better job here than he did there. For Twins of Evil, Hough has captured a foreboding and creepy atmosphere, through use of lots of smoke and a Gothic period setting that involves such favorite horror locations as graveyards and old castles. Hough has also given the film a very heavy handed score, which although gets a little silly, increases the camp value of the film and is therefore beneficial to the film.
Like many a great horror film, this one benefits from a great finale, which includes numerous gory sequences including, most notably, a decapitation scene; which gorehounds are bound to find satisfying. I'm a big fan of Hammer horror, and I would certainly place this one among their top five best achievements. Highly recommended viewing
Super Reviewer
Good late Hammer. A shame to see Dennis Price so wasted, but Cushing gives perhaps his best late performance as a witch-hunter. The film obviously owes a debt to the much more serious "The Witchfinder General". It's remarkably chaste for a late-period Hammer, especially given the Playboy pin-up twin leads. Interestingly, the music score is a pastishe of Spaghetti Western music.
MoreSuper Reviewer
The Karnstein trilogy ends with a bang in this return to form for Hammer. Cushing returns though as a different character to the baron he played in "The Vampire Lovers". This time he's an evil preacher who burns local girls at the stake under charge of witchcraft. He's rarely been better, and that's really saying something. When a ridiculously hot pair of twins come to stay with him they become embroiled in all manner of devilry. Great stuff.

Lisa Fischer (born December 1, 1958) is an American vocalist and songwriter. She rose to fame in 1991 with her debut album So Intense, which produced the Grammy Award–winning hit single "How Can I Ease the Pain". Known for her wide, high-reaching vocal range, Fischer has been recognized as one of the most successful session vocalists of the era.[1] She has been back-up singer for a number of famous artists, including Luther Vandross and Tina Turner, and has toured with The Rolling Stones since 1989, where her popularity with the fans has brought her to routinely duet with Mick Jagger on several songs when performing onstage.
Fischer was born in the Fort Greene neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn, New York. Fischer's love for singing was encouraged by her mother, a homemaker; father, a security guard and warehouse worker; and two younger brothers.[2] In an interview with Christian Wikane of PopMatters, Fischer stated that she was influenced by Freda Payne, Marvin Gaye and Melba Moore, as well as others early in her childhood.[3] In 1983, under the stage name Xēna, Fischer released a Latin freestyle single, the electro classic "On the Upside". In 1984, a club track she recorded titled "Only Love (Shadows)" was briefly featured in the motion picture Beat Street and was later released in 1995 as part of the Hot Productions' The Best of Criminal Records compilation. However, Fischer initially began her music career supporting other artists providing backing vocals for artists including Melba Moore and Billy Ocean. She worked with many other famous singers, both as a session vocalist and sideman. She accompanied Luther Vandross who she met through the mutual acquaintance of choreographer Bruce Wallace, who asked her to come to his agency for an audition.[3] Fischer then traveled as a backup singer on his tours and sang on his albums until his death, in addition to other famous musicians, including Chaka Khan, Teddy Pendergrass, and Roberta Flack.
Fischer's solo career peaked with the 1991 release of "How Can I Ease the Pain" from her album So Intense, which reached number one on the R&B charts and won her a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance in 1992.[4] The album spawned three Top 20 R&B hits and peaked at #5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and #100 on the Billboard 200 chart. When she was questioned asked about the inspiration for her album, Fischer replied that "I wasn't deep in search of a record deal, it was just one of those things that happened". In the movie 20 Feet From Stardom, Fischer's Grammy award for her hit single collects dust on a shelf. Fisher said she "just doesn't know what to do with it."[5] Fischer also provided stirring vocals on the power ballad "Colors of Love" which was featured on the soundtrack album for the film Made in America. Fischer stated that the reason she discontinued her career as a solo artist afterward was because she enjoyed being a backing singer much more than a solo artist.[6] Fischer rejected the idea of never being satisfied and the theory of always aspiring for something more. She stated that she just enjoys doing music and supporting other artists.[7] Fischer compares back up singing to being a "tuning fork".[8] In 1992, Lisa traveled to Japan to perform in the Earth Voice Concert with Lee Ritenhour, Phil Perry, Bobby Caldwell, Brenda Russell, James Ingram, Michael McDonald, Anita Baker, and others. She sang her 1991 #1 R & B hit "How Can I Ease The Pain" and also sang background vocals with other artists.

Fischer maintained her career as a session singer and still continues to accompany The Rolling Stones on every one of their tours since 1989. She worked as a backup vocalist during the same period for Luther Vandross for the 22 years prior to his death, having to juggle her time between his concert tours and those of The Rolling Stones, with whom she has a growing audience as she plays the foil to Mick Jagger onstage more and more frequently. There are songs that have become staples during tours with the Rolling Stones where she shares lead vocals, including "Monkey Man, and "Gimme Shelter", which showcases her vocal talents and is frequently on the set lists during their live concerts.
In 2012, she joined the Rolling Stone for their 50 & Counting Tour that started October 2012 and toured internationally until July 2013. Additionally, They have also announced that there will be a follow-up tour 14 ON FIRE. That was scheduled to start in February and they would be visiting the Middle East and Asia, Europe in summer 2014, and Australia in the fall 2014.[9]
Fischer also toured with Tina Turner on her Twenty Four Seven Tour. It was the worldwide top-grossing tour of 2000. She continued to sing backup for Tina Turner and The Rolling Stones as well as compose songs for herself and up-and-coming artists. Lisa was featured in an April 14, 2008 issue of Jet Magazine' Where Are They Now? column.[10] In 2009, Fischer completed touring with Tina Turner on her Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour and she is featured on Turner's new live DVD-CD titled Tina Live. In the performance of Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour 2009 Fischer and Turner sing "It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)" together and after Turner leaves the stage, Fischer completes the song solo.
Fischer sang on Sting's album If on a Winter's Night... as a backing vocalist. In September 2009, Sting and his band, in addition to Fischer, performed the songs live in Durham Cathedral. The rehearsals as well as the concert were filmed and were released as a DVD. The behind the scenes documentary surrounding the event was produced jointly by the BBC and was screened on December 29 that year.
Fischer appeared at the 2010 CareFusion Newport Jazz Festival in Newport, Rhode Island, where she was featured with jazz trumpeter Chris Botti. She continued to tour with Botti through 2010, including appearing nightly as guest vocalist during the trumpeter's annual holiday engagement at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City. She remained a guest artist with Botti's band in 2011 and continues to appear at their 2012 concerts.
Fischer is one of the main artists featured in the Oscar-winning documentary film 20 Feet from Stardom (2013), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was released on June 21, 2013. The documentary highlights often unheralded minority women backup singers by archiving the oral histories of artists like Merry Clayton and Darlene Love and their experiences within the American music industry.
In 2013, Fischer joined the rock band Nine Inch Nails as a backing vocalist for their Tension 2013 tour.[2][11]
In 2014 Fischer reunited with many of the backup singers in 20 Feet From Stardom including Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, and Judith Hill to sing the national anthem at the 100th Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. That same year it was announced that Fischer would be collaborating with performer Billy Childs on a studio project that would pay tribute Laura Nyro's musical talent and life [12]

"Worm grunting, also known as worm fiddling or charming, involves driving a wooden stake into the ground and rubbing the top of it with a leaf spring or other flat piece of steel to make a grunting or snoring noise. Done in the right place under the right conditions, the result will be hundreds earthworms appearing on the surface of the ground. Worm grunting is practiced in parts of the southeast to obtain fish bait.�?
The New York Times, Worm Grunting: A Mystery Solved, by Henry Fountain, October 17, 2008 -
If I were one of them, I'd surely be disgruntled.
Barbaric. Worms should not be grunted.
*speechless* -
Vanderbilt.edu: 'Worm grunting involves going into the forest, driving a wooden stake into the ground and then rubbing the top of the stake with a long piece of steel called a rooping iron. This makes a peculiar grunting sound that drives nearby earthworms to the surface where they can be easily collected for fish bait.
'Despite a lot of speculation, worm grunters don't really know why the technique works.'
Edit: there's a festival, too.
