Decluttering to Sell Your House
Don't leave these items in boxes in your home. It creates the impression that you don't have storage space, and you don't want that. Your buyers will go through closets, garages, and outbuildings, which means you can't store them on-premises. Consider renting a temporary unit or contacting the moving company to see if they will take and store items before the big move.
You should be left with a small assortment of items in daily use, paired with key items of furniture. Don't slack off when it comes to your decluttering mission here! Make sure items like toiletries, kids' toys, and kitchen utensils are neatly stowed in drawers, containers tucked away in cupboards, and more. This will keep the house looking tidy, and it showcases creative uses of the existing storage space. Make sure everyone in the house gets in the habit of putting things away after use, and encourage them to take that habit with them when they move, because it will make your new home much more pleasant to live in.

Nice 3 piece patio bistro set for my front patio
My husband and I put it together in about an hour. It wasn't the easiest but we got it done. I ordered fairy lights to put around the legs and it looks really cute. Very sturdy and I like that it doesn't have a hole for and umbrella.. Finish is ruffed up, so if you want glossy finish, this isn't for you.Read More
3-piece patio set
When I picked up the 2 boxes, I knew it was heavy! So I removed the pieces and it was very easy to assemble! But I will say, that I did read the reviews, and when one reviewer said to not bolt down till everything was in place was correct! I did the table first and the center piece that was to stabilize the table seemed that the predrilled holes didn't fit, but remembering what I read, I loosened the screws and I set the stabilizer between the four legs and it worked!!! The chairs were a breeze to assemble! I am pleased with this black bistro set!Read More
Very happy with this set!
Let me just start by saying that I love this bistro set! It works perfectly on my screened-in porch as a cozy place to dine alfresco. I have other black wrought iron furniture on the porch that I've had for years and the bistro set blended beautifully with the existing pieces. I did buy new cushions for both the existing pieces that I had and the new bistro set and it ties everything together very, very well. The set is very, very sturdy! This isn't a set that's going to bend, break or warp anytime soon! This is a well put together set and a very good size as well! The chairs are wide and will hold anyone you put in them! They are very spacious, as is the table. Check out the dimensions of this set in the online description and compare it with other bistros available...you will find that the dimensions of both the chairs and table are way more generous than most! This was important for me as I specifically wanted the table to fit 2 dinner plates, two salad bowls, appropriate silverware for two, two drinks with room to spare for appropriate condiments and possibly a bud vase for a few flowers. I wanted comfort, as my husband and I are 56 years old at this point. We got all we wanted with this set! Some folks have mentioned a problem with rust on this set. I really can't address that issue as I haven't owned the set long enough to have that issue pop up. My set is on a screened-in porch, so it won't be out in the direct sunlilght or rain, so I'm hoping that won't be a problem for me. Time will tell on that issue, but even if I have to hit it with a bit of Rustoleum outdoor spray paint, I'll still be happy with this set due to all the positives already stated above. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who is considering it. You won't be sorry!Read More
Black Iron 3-piece Patio Bistro Set
I recently purchased the Black Iron 3-piece Patio Bistro Set for my deck, which is small. Other reviewers listed concerns with putting it together and problems with the legs being uneven. I had no problems with either, and put it together without assistance. The chairs are very comfortable, even without cushions. The set is attractive and looks great on the deck. Time will tell about the durability of the set.Read More
suprising quality
I was a little worried at first about purchasing this set sight unseen, but the other reviews made me take the chance. I'm so pleased with the quality and construction - they're definitely not going to blow away in a high wind. The style looks so good with my new house and I've gotten lots of compliments. A great place to sit in the sun for awhile with a cool drink. Absolutely would recommend.Read More

Perfect size for my beach house porch
I had looked and looked for just the right set for my small porch at my beach home. I loved that this set has rectangular seats instead of the small dinner plate size seats most sets had. I wanted black wroght iron to contract to the white porch and this seemed just perfect. After seeing a few reviews complaining that the assembly was problematic I hesitated a second. But since most of the reviews seemed fine I went ahead. It took my husband and myself about 20 minutes to assemble. Some of the holes needed just a bit of "encoragement" to fit, but I would not really say it was a problem. Once it was together, I was just delighted with just how comfortable the nice wide seat was, to accomodate my "nice wide seat" :). The house in in Florida and is just perfect for our morning breakfast in the sunshine, or for a nice happy hour with wine and cheese. If the finish holds out, and continues to look and feel as nice as it does now, I will be absolutely thrilled with adorable and comfortable set.

Design of Low-Density Parity-Check
Codes for Modulation and Detection
Stephan ten Brink, Gerhard Kramer, Member, IEEE, and Alexei Ashikhmin, Member, IEEE
Abstract—A coding and modulation technique is studied where
the coded bits of an irregular low-density parity-check (LDPC)
nodes of the LDPC decoder graph are connected to detector nodes,
and iterativedecoding is accomplishedby viewing thevariable and
a curve fitting on extrinsic information transfer charts. Design ex-
amples are given for additive white Gaussian noise channels, as
well as multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels
where the receiver, but not the transmitter, knows the channel.
For the MIMO channels, the technique operates within 1.25 dB of
capacity for various antenna configurations, and thereby outper-
forms a scheme employing a parallel concatenated (turbo) code by

noisy channels [1]–[5]. We consider two problems associated
with LDPC codes. The first is how to combine a code with a
modulator and detector. The second is how to design the code
for iterative decoding, i.e., how to choose good degree distribu-
tions for the modulator, channel, and detector.
We approach the first problem by mapping the coded bits of
an irregular LDPC code directly onto a modulation signal set.
The mapping is arranged to facilitate code design. At the re-
ceiver, we consider thegraphicalrepresentation ofan LDPCde-
coder [2]–[4] and connect the LDPC variable nodes to detector
We deal with the second problem by using a curve-fitting
procedure on extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts
[6]. The design methodology is illustrated for two types of
channels: additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels
with binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), and multiple-input,
multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels with quadrature
phase-shift keying (QPSK). The MIMO code design can be
be extended in a straightforward way to other modulators,
channels, and detectors. We remark that the curve fitting might

be possible using other chart techniques, see, e.g., [5], [7],
and [8]. We refer to [9] for a comparison of some of these
tools. Another alternative is to use numerical optimization with
density evolution
. Transfer charts and density evolution
complement each other in that the former are easier to visualize
and program, giving insight and good initial code designs,
while the latter can be used to verify the graphical analysis and
to refine the designs.
There are several existing approaches to combining coding
and modulation, for example, trellis-coded modulation (TCM)
[10], multilevel coding [11], bit-interleaved coded modulation
(BICM) [12], and space–time block-coded (STBC) modulation
[13], [14] (see also [15] and references therein). A growing
body of work uses BICM with turbo and LDPC codes, see, e.g.,
[16]–[29]. The EXIT curve-fitting approach described here was
motivated by results for erasure channels [30] and appeared in
[31]. Parallel work using similar ideas was reported in [32] and
[33]. The method was used to design repeat-accumulate (RA)
codes in [34] and [35].
This paper is organized as follows. In Section II, we develop
the curve-fitting procedure for BPSK on the AWGN channel.
In Section III, we extend the technique to other communication
problems, and, in particular, to MIMO fading channels where
the receiver, but not the transmitter, knows the channel. We de-
sign LDPC codes for ergodic fading, and compare their perfor-
are shown to perform substantially better for channels having
more transmit than receive antennas. Such a situation is likely
to occur on the base-to-mobile station link of a wireless com-
munication system. Section IV summarizes our results.
An iterative decoder for this code can be viewed as a graph that
The th variable node represents the th bit of the codeword.
This bit is involved in
parity checks, so that its node has
edges going into the edge interleaver. The edge interleaver
connects the variable nodes to the check nodes, each of which
represents a parity-check equation. The th check node checks
bits so that it hasedges. The sets of variable and check
nodes are referred to as the variable-node decoder (VND) and
check-node decoder (CND), respectively. Iterative decoding is
performed by passing messages between the VND and CND.
The decoder structure is shown in Fig. 1, and its operation is
explained in more detail below. We remark that this structure is
similar to that of an iterative decoder for a serially concatenated

code that is based on a mixture of inner repetition codes and
a mixture of outer single parity-check codes. This observation
illustrates the close relation between LDPC decoding and other
iterative schemes, such as turbo decoding [36].
A. EXIT Charts
An a posteriori probability (APP) decoder converts channel
and a priori log-likelihood ratios (LLRs or
-values. This is shown in Fig. 1, where a poste-
riori -values come out of the VND and CND. The a posteriori
-values minus the a priori -values are the extrinsic -values,
which are passed on and interpreted as a priori information by a
second decoder. We refer to [37] for further details on extrinsic
information processing.
An EXIT chart characterizes the decoder's operation. We use
the notation of [6] and write

bits about which extrinsic -values are passed) and the a priori

A. MIMO Channel Model
For MIMO fading, one often distinguishes between three
practical cases based on channel knowledge. The first case is
that both the transmitter and receiver know the channel, the
second that only the receiver knows the channel, and the third
that neither terminal knows the channel [41, pp. 2627–2629].
The first case can be dealt with in a manner similar to the
AWGN channel, with the addition of "water pouring" over the
antennas and time. The third case seems to be the most difficult
and is not dealt with here. We will consider only the second

B. EXIT Curve of the MIMO Detector
We proceed by showing how to compute EXIT curves for
the MIMO detector. We then describe a combined demodula-

proach MIMO capacity. This structure automatically specifies

bits directly onto the modulation signal set. Finally, we show
how to match EXIT curves.

C. EXIT Curve of the Combined MIMO Detector and VND
We combinetheMIMO detectorand theLDPC variablenode
decoder as shown in Fig. 5. The detector consists of
individual detectors (or detector nodes) that are each connected
variable nodes. We further choose allvariable
nodes connected to a common detector node to have the same
. This restriction is not necessary, but it simplifies the
design by focusing on a smaller set of EXIT curves.
The decoder structure specifies that the LDPC coded bits be
mapped directly onto the modulation set. A similar technique
has been considered by others, e.g., [26] and [27], but without
the structured combination of variable and detector nodes, and
without the EXIT curve matching approach to code design. We
show that curve matching gives coded modulations that closely
approach capacity.
Consider the three boxes in Fig. 5 corresponding to one of
individual detector/VNDs. We denote the EXIT
curve of this structure by
-values as the output
whose inputs are the interleaver bits transmitted using BPSK.

polynomial. For example, the EXIT curve of the 4

strong code, for the AWGN channel. The code EXIT curve is,
therefore, poorly matched to a steep detector EXIT curve [20].

E. Fading Model and Finite Modulation Sets
We discuss two practical issues. First, the ergodic model is
suitable if there appear many independent realizations of
and the receiver can accurately estimate these. This occurs in
practice when there is block fading (such as with time-divi-
time/frequency interleaving), and one can afford to code over
many blocks. However, in some cases, the delay constraints are
too severe to code over many blocks, and the quasi-static model
is appropriate [42, Sec. 5]. For such cases, one can still apply
curve fitting, but one now shapes the EXIT curves to minimize
outage probability. The question of how to do this precisely for
given fading statistics is an interesting open problem.
Second, the capacities of both the ergodic and quasi-static
models are achieved with Gaussian input distributions. How-
ever, in practice, one does not use such distributions. Some rea-
sons for this are the transmitter and receiver amplifiers have
peak energy constraints, the amplifiers are linear over limited
ranges of inputs, the receiver must acquire and maintain phase
synchronization, and the APP detector complexity grows expo-
nentially with the number of bits per input symbol. These rea-
sons make small modulation sets such as QPSK attractive for
wirelesscommunication. Ofcourse,thecapacities of suchmod-
ulation sets are smaller than for Gaussian inputs. We have com-
pared the performance of our codes with the finite modulation
set capacities, which is the fairest benchmark.
F. Comparison With STBCs
STBCs are attractive because they improve diversity and
are easy to encode and decode (see [13]–[15] and references
therein). However, the gains come at the expense of spectral
efficiency. For example,consider the 2
QPSK and a rate-1/2 LDPC code. The spectral efficiency is
two bits per channel use. Suppose next that we use Alamouti's
space–time code [13] as an inner code. This scheme obtains a
diversity gain with what is, in effect, a rate-1/2 repetition code.
Thus, to achieve two bits per channel use with a rate-1/2 outer
code, one must compensate for the inner-code rate loss by
changing the constellation from QPSK to 16-quadrature ampli-
tude modulation (QAM). But recall that 16-QAM complicates
amplification, synchronization, and detection.
These issues will be even more pronounced for 4
channels. For example, the scheme proposed here achieves a
spectral efficiency of four bits per channel use with QPSK and
effect, a rate-1/4 repetition code, would have to use 256-QAM
to achieve four bits per channel use with a rate-1/2 outer code.
Furthermore, no rate-1/4 orthogonal STBC exists for the 4
MIMO channel [14]. These considerations suggest that diver-
sity is best achieved by designing the coding and modulation
together rather than separately.
1 MIMO channel with
We described a method for combining an irregular LDPC
code with a modulator and detector. We further introduced a
pragmatic technique for designing LDPC degree distributions
that are well matched to detectors. The design was based on
curve fitting on EXIT charts. For MIMO communication, sim-
ulations verified that all our codes operate within 1.25 dB of
their respective capacity limits at a BER of
that EXIT curve fitting can be used to construct equally good
coded modulations with RA codes [34], [35].
Finally, the goal of this paper was to present a coding and
modulation technique, as well as a design methodology, that
gives good performance for many communication systems. We
were less ambitious with our code designs. The LDPC degree
distributions listed in Table I can almost certainly be improved
upon, especially for the 4
1 MIMO channel. Other open prob-
lems are EXIT curve fitting for quasi-static channels, EXIT
curve fitting for suboptimal detectors, e.g., the detectors of sev-
eral papers in [44], and improving the EXIT approximations.

A note discovered at East Middle School last week has left several students feeling unsafe during the school day and numerous parents enraged.
The note, according to a parent, contained a list of student's names and was titled Death Note and the district says it's considered a play on Japanese anime series of the same name.
The series features a student that finds a notebook that will bring death upon any person whose name is written within.
On Wednesday Ellen Gill McCarty spent much of her afternoon making pierogis, pork schnitzel and a family recipe of pretzel bagel bites made with Goetta sausage.
While that may not be unusual for a chef, it's certainly different in the kitchen at Science Hill Inn, where McCarty has been for nearly 30 years.
The longtime Shelby County establishment is well known for its fine Southern cuisine, so a several course German meal may have been a first there.
Collins High School classrooms were with filled yellow shirts instead of the school's normal Titan blue as students took the opportunity to support one of their own.
While Keaton McMurray isn't competing for a football state championship or suiting up for the basketball team, he is fighting for a huge win and he has the support of all his classmates.
McMurray, a Collins senior, has osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that usually develops in adolescents.
More than two weeks after the City of Shelbyville implemented a new curbside trash pick up service, haulers told the Shelbyville City Council that things are going smoothly, for the most part.
There is a slight problem, though, with people putting things that don't belong in the recycling carts, said Greg Butler, municipal relationship manager for Republic Services.
A hot topic in zoning circles is one step closer to approval after receiving a first reading Thursday night by the Shelbyville City Council.
Council members had already heard from both surrounding residents and developers of the 15-acre property for which a 216-unit apartment complex is being proposed at the intersection of Breighton Circle and Brunerstown Road in two previous meetings, and on Thursday were ready for the first step of the approval with a first reading.
A Shelby County man who has been in jail for nearly three years has pleaded guilty to murder and related charges, and prosecutors have recommended a prison sentence of 22 years.
Marcus Goldsmith, 55, of Shelbyville, was arrested in the early morning hours of March 16, 2012, and charged with the murder of Keith A. Jackson, who was found lying in the doorway of his apartment, mortally injured from stab wounds. He was taken to Jewish Hospital Shelbyville, where he was pronounced dead.
An Indiana man was killed last Friday in a single-vehicle traffic accident on Interstate 64 in Shelby County that shut down the westbound lanes for more than two hours.
Law enforcement officials say they still don't know why Joseph Rivers, 46, lost control of his Ford F150 pickup truck and ran off the road around the 37-mile marker westbound.
Shelby County Sheriff's deputy Rick Meadows, who reconstructed the accident, said the road was wet, but that the snow had not yet started to fall heavily when the accident happened at 4:41 p.m.
The Shelby County Board of Education got a sneak peak of the district's modern education tactics on Thursday when Assistant Superintendent Kerry Whitehouse and Tommy Hurt, the district's chief information officer, gave a report on 21st Century Support Systems, the fifth strand of the Strategic Leadership Plan.
While the district's one-to-one computing plan calls for each high school student this year to receive a digital device, the district has still not been able to secure funding.
The Shelby County Board of Education accepted the first draft budget for the 2015-16 school year Thursday night and based on projections using last year's funding, the district is expecting a $538,162 increase in local General Fund receipts.
That good news is short lived, however, as the district also expects to see expenses increase by almost double that amount, with a little more than $1 million expected in expenditures.
It's only been six months since the ribbon cutting, but patrons of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass could be shopping at several more new stores next holiday season,
Officials with the shopping center have confirmed that plans for an expansion are underway at the 365,000-square-foot retail center off Exit 28 in Simpsonville.

FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY Prepared By : OUTLINE WHAT IS BIOMETRICS? WHAT IS FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY? CONTROVERSY MY OPINION OF THIS TECHNOLOGY QUESTIONS???????? WHAT IS BIOMETRICS? BIOMETRICS – any automatically measurable, robust and distinctive physical characteristic or personal trait that can be used to identify an individual or verify the claimed identity of an individual. TWO MAIN USES 1) IDENTFICATION -figure out "Who is X?" -accomplished by system performing a "one-to-many" search 2) VERIFICATION -answer the question "Is this X?" -accomplished by the system performing a "one-to-one" search TYPES OF BIOMETRICS Iris Scanning -measures the iris patter in the colored part of the eye Retinal Scan -measures the blood vessel patterns in the back of the eye TYPES OF BIOMETRICS Voice Recognition -measures the vocal characteristics of a person using a specific phrase Finger Printing -measures the unique pattern of lines on a persons finger FACIAL RECOGNITION Facial recognition is a form of computer vision that uses faces to attempt to identify a person or verify a person's claimed identity. Regardless of specific method used, the facial recognition is accomplished in a five step process. FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 1) ACQUIRING THE IMAGE OF AN INDIVIDUALS FACE 2 WAYS TO AQUIRE IMAGE 1)Digitally scan an existing photograph 2)Acquire a live picture of a subject FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 2) LOCATE IMAGE OF FACE -software is used to locate the faces in the image that has been obtained FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 2) FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 3) ANALYSIS OF FACIAL IMAGE -software measures face according to is peaks and valleys (nodal points) -focuses on the inner region of the face known as the "golden triangle" -nodal points are used to make a face print FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 4) COMPARISON -the face print created by the software is compared to all face prints the system has stored in its database. FIVE STEP PROCESS (STEP 5) MATCH OR NO MATCH -software decides whether or not any comparisons from step 4 are close enough to declare a possible match FINAL STEP THE HUMAN OPERATOR CONTROVERSY VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTION RIGHT AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCH? United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1, 14 (1973) -person does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy of those physical characteristics that are constantly exposed to the public such as one's facial features, voice and handwriting CONTROVERSY THE BORDER EXCEPTION -the fourth amendment recognizes the longstanding right of the sovereign to protect itself by stopping and examining persons and property crossing into this country MY THOUGHTS ON FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLGY REVIEW WHAT IS BIOMETRIC?

December 13, 2008
Derrick Brown had 20 points and 10 rebounds Saturday night to help the ninth-ranked Xavier Musketeers post a 76-66 win over Cincinnati.

We get live Scrabster to Stromness ferry prices directly from ferry company reservation systems and compare all options ensuring you find the best deal for your crossing. Getting a price and booking your ferry ticket to Orkney Islands couldn't be easier!Compare numerous crossings and sailing schedules for Scrabster Stromness ferries online now by selecting the place of departure from the Scrabster Stromness fare search and hit the search button.
Prices shown represent the average one way price paid by our customers. The most common booking on the Scrabster Stromness route is a car and 2 passengers.
The small town of Scrabster is located on Thurso Bay in Caithness, on the Scottish north east coast. It is situated around 2 km from Thurso, 26 km from Wick and 180 km from Inverness. The town's harbour was the base for a ferry operation that carried military explosives to Scapa Flow during the Second World War. The service continued until 1945 and was operated using a 40 ft King's Lynn pilotcutter, named Mermaid, which was built in 1908. Following the war the harbour has continued to play an important role in the town's growth and prosperity. It is the most northerly port on the Scottish mainland and is an important fishing port. For several decades it was also the port of choice for the Queen and her family when they disembarked from the Royal Yacht Britannia every August when they visited the Queen Mother at her Highland home, Castle of Mey, 11 miles from Scrabster. Today, visitors can follow in their footsteps, as the Castle is open to visitors.
Ferries from the port depart to Stromness in Orkney.
Located in the south west of Orkney, in Scotland, Stromness is a town and sea port that is centred around its main street which is characterised by houses and shops built from local stone. The town can trace its history back to the 16th century where records show that an inn was located on the site of the current town. During the 17th century the town became increasingly important when England was at war with France. The town's quays and harbour are located to the north of the town and are now accessed by a new coastal road which has alleviated the amount of harbour traffic in the northern parts of the town.
There is a ferry service from Stromness to the Scottish mainland via the port of Scrabster and operates around three times each day with a crossing time of around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Breast Implant Revision Before and After Photos
Whether you have invested in cosmetic enhancement with saline or silicone implants, you may require breast implant revision. Before and after pictures here on LocateADoc.com can help you see examples of successful revisions. To learn a little more, we have also put together this short description so you can make informed decisions about your next surgery.
Many women seek this procedure if they are unsatisfied with the initial results from the surgery. Other women are satisfied with the initial results, but seek this procedure many years after their first augmentation due to changes with the implants or their body. Implants are designed to augment the size of your breasts, but the quality of their structural integrity can deteriorate over time.
If you are dissatisfied with the results of your breast augmentation you must wait a year for full recovery before undergoing a breast implant revision. The surgical plans will be similar to your first surgery and will utilize existing scars to minimize overall scarring.
What should I expect when preparing for breast implant revision surgery?
- Mammograms should be schedule before and after surgery.
- You should discuss the latest implant options with your surgeon.
- Adjust medications so that you minimize bleeding risks.
We hope this guide helped you learn more about breast implant revision. Before and after pictures can help you see what successful surgeries look like, but to take the next step you should contact a doctor from LocateADoc.com. Browse our surgeon's profiles today.

Hugh Freeze hired as offensive coordinator at Arkansas State
Former Briarcrest Christian coach Hugh Freeze, hired as the offensive coordinator at San Jose State in December, is making an abrupt return to the Mid-South to become the offensive coordinator at Arkansas State.
Freeze, a former Ole Miss assistant who had spent the last two seasons as head coach at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., cited family reasons and said he left San Jose State on good terms.
"This is a hard business and it really helps if your family is comfortable," said Freeze, adding that his parents have had some recent health issues. "When I was out there, I had two really close friends lose their moms. And it's just the right thing for me and my family to come back."
Earlier this winter, Freeze was a finalist for the Arkansas State position that went to former University of Memphis assistant Clay Helton. But Helton left this week to join Lane Kiffin's staff at Southern California.
Freeze, the head coach at Briarcrest from 1994-2005, built Lambuth into one of the country's most unlikely NAIA powers. Under Freeze, the Eagles were 20-5 and twice advanced to the NAIA playoffs, including a quarterfinal appearance last fall.

On the rumours he is involved in the WWII film
There have been more rumours about who'll be starring in Quentin Tarantino's long-planned WWII movie "Inglorious Bastards" movie than there has different men in Paris Hilton's Spa. Today, one guy (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have been mentioned too) that's been long linked to the movie, Sylvester Stallone, told readers on Aint it Cool News that he'd love to be involved in the film – and in fact, he was nearly onboard Tarantino's "Grind House".
"I would love to work with Quentin Tarantino and had heard rumors about this World War II epic", said Stallone, who has been answering fan questions on AICN all week. "I would be insane not to work with such a brilliant filmmaker. I was hoping to work with Quentin in his new GRINDHOUSE film, but unfortunately ROCKY and RAMBO duties prevented that from happening."
Hmmm. Wonder who Stallone was up for in "Grind House"? Possibly, 'Stuntman Mike'?
