Warner Brothers via Everett Collection
There's a whole genre designed to scare the hell out of us — a genre to which we pay particular esteem on Halloween. But even with all the Friday the 13ths and Nightmare on Elm Streets and The Rings (oooh, The Ring...) out there, we still can't help but find terror in a few odd entries in other cinematic categories. Sometimes, movies that intend to make us laugh, teach us lessons, or just take us on whimsical adventures wind up giving us nightmares. Here are a few non-horrors that rattled the Hollywood.com staff in our younger years...
The Pagemaster, Jordan Smith
"The Pagemaster, that little Macaulay Culkin movie that hardly anyone remembers, is supposed to be a cute action-adventure story about learning to be brave, but I'm convinced it's really a deeply evil film designed by the film industry lobby to scare kids away from libraries and books. It just doesn't make sense otherwise. There's a moment toward the beginning of the film where Culkin's character is walking around a massive library with thousands of books. All of a sudden, a freaking tidal wave of color chases him around the building. I'm talking about fierce typhoon of evil rainbows that traps him and swallows him whole. That scene scared my little four year old body to the bone. In one fell swoop, The Pagemaster made various colors, running water, libraries, and reading absolutely terrifying. Thanks Macaulay!"
The NeverEnding Story, Casey Rackham
"Nope. No thank you. Not for me. I don't know how old I was when I saw The NeverEnding Story, but I know that I watched it on VHS… so I was too young to see this scarring so-called children's movie. I don't remember too much about the plot of the film, but if I'm being honest, I don't really care to. It's bad enough that I remember 'The Nothing': a threatening void of darkness that consumes everything in its path. At that point in my life, the biggest, baddest villain I had met was Cruella de Vil. She's scary, but not nearly as haunting as a black hole of evil. Next up is the 'Swamp of Sadness.' (Come on, why would you name something that?) In possibly one of the most heartbreaking scenes of my childhood, I helplessly watched as Atreyu failed to save his horse who sunk to his death in quicksand in the Swamp of Sadness. And finally, even the character Falkor, a luckdragon that was supposed to be a wise guiding light throughout the movie (and who you were supposed to love), gave me nightmares for weeks. There's just something about a creature who is half dog and half dragon, has flaring nostrils, ruby eyes, and who can 'swim' through air that isn't right. The whole movie gave me a visceral reaction, so no, I would not suggest it to anyone that doesn't want to be entirely wigged out."
Drop Dead Fred, Michael Arbeiter
"It was the early '90s, an era during which I spent a lot of after school time watching movies and television with the sociopathic neighbor kids the Rosens. While their tastes usually led us to simply disgusting fare like Ren & Stimpy, we were treated one day to a video viewing of what I would later find out to be Drop Dead Fred. I made it through only one scene of the movie — that in which the title character, a ghost or an imaginary friend or something, squeezed his own head in a refrigerator door. The other kids found it hilarious... I was mortified. For years. In fact, it wasn't until over two decades later that I'd even bring myself to Google the right combination of words to find out what movie it was that enforced upon me such trauma. Not a horror at all, I learned. A kooky, weird comedy. One that I will never watch again. And, needless to say, I don't talk to the Rosens anymore."
Balto, Alexa Smail
"Balto, the heroic story of a dog who saved children, right? Wrong. In my childhood, the animated Disney flick was one of the most terrifying movie experiences ever. While, now, I'm not exactly sure why it was so scary, I do remember a giant black bear with eery yellow eyes and a bunch of mean wolves who tried to hurt the sweet and cuddly Balto. There were also a bunch of avalanches, some deathly sharp icicles dropping on the animals, and all the town kids dying from a weird disease that only kills kids… Ok, so maybe I had some good reasons to be frightened, Alaska seemed pretty freaking gruesome."
The Jungle Book (live action version), Julia Emmanuele
Like most children, I was obsessed with Disney films growing up. As long as a movie has animated characters and some upbeat musical numbers, I was on board. When I was about five, while looking for a new movie to rent from my local Blockbuster, I came across the 1994 live action version of The Jungle Book. I'm not sure if I thought it was actually the animated film, which I loved, or if I just assumed that this one would also be lighthearted fun involving singing bears, but I convinced my mom to rent it. Once I sat down to watch it, though, I quickly found out that actual jungle animals don't sing Louis Prima songs, and are actually quite terrifying. It only took about 10 minutes before I began screaming and crying hysterically, presumably because I thought that the panthers were either going to kill and eat Mowgli, or come out of my television screen and attack me. There was one scene in particular, in which the panther pounces on its prey, and I threw such a fit that my mother had to come in and turn the tape off. Not only did it take me forever to calm down that day, I refused to watch Disney's Jungle Book for years afterwards because I thought that the scary panthers would be in that one too. To this day, I've never seen past the first 10 minutes of the live action Jungle Book, but I hear it's a great film.

Ezmerald Kim Kardashian Wins Zimbabwe's Discreet Drag Queen Pageant
For the finale of Zimbabwe's pride week, local gay men got all dressed up for a good old fashioned drag ball.
At a recent rally during his successful reelection campaign, Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe vowed to behead the nation's LGBT people. Critics have accused Mugabe of using anti-gay rhetoric to win support. In 1996 his supporters crashed a pride week event and Mugabe famously quipped that gays were "worse than pigs and dogs".
The country has harsh laws against sodomy — an ex-president was convicted of violating them in 1998 — but attacks on people in same-sex relationships are rare.
Zimbabwe recently celebrated its annual ZimPride week — a low-key version of gay pride week, complete with book readings and film screenings. But the week ended with a rowdy drag queen pageant held outside of an "isolated farmhouse on a forest-shrouded hilltop on the outskirts of Harare, the capital," according to the AP.
Although their country is generally uncomfortable with their sexuality, some gay men couldn't worry about all that — they had a crown to win.
2. They painted their nails.
3. Put on their flashiest outfits.
4. And picked out their hottest pairs of heels.
5. So that they could strike the finest poses.
6. Okay, really fierce amazing poses.
7. All in the name of being out and proud.
8. But we all know there can only be one queen crowned Miss Jacaranda.
9. And this year, the honor went to 17-year-old Ezmerald Kim Kardashian.
A finer drag name has never been created.

"Cute card. I loved everything about it EXCEPT, my pictures weren't the best quality. They kind of had a fuzzy look to them. I also didn't like the back cover options. For example: I picked the option you put 2 pictures on the back and the spaces were kind of tiny. Like, they should just make that bigger,or make an option to make it as big/ small as you want!"
"Everything turn out beautiful, the picture , the quality it outstanding , fast and easy to order, i have to reorder more and costumer service is just wonderful to talk too."
"The card itself was great quality and beautiful but this is more about the great customer service I received after a mistake with our order. When we received our announcements some small random numbers had been printed over the picture on all the cards we had ordered. After calling they easily fixed the problem, admitted it was their fault, and reordered them immediately. They even refunded our shipping costs! Best customer service I have ever experienced!"
"Classy but not formal design was perfect for what my daughter and I were looking for. Card stock very nice weight. took a while to get color adjusted right with designer but he was extremely helpful and accommodating during the process. Also adjusted photo frames to showcase photos on the back better. Took the time necessary to get them right. Card turned out fantastic and I am so happy with it!"
"The stock of this paper is durable and the announcement will serve as a keepsake. The colors compliment the photo and I couldn't be happier with my order. I have received SO many compliments on this design and overall product."

Copyright Cases to Watch: X17 v. Perez Hilton
As part of a new mini-series here at the Blog Herald, I will be profiling ongoing copyright cases that have the potential to drastically impact bloggers and other small Webmasters. I'll take an in-depth look at the case, where it's going, what's at stake and what's likely to happen.
The first case involves two of Hollywood's most loathed entities, a gossip blogger and a paparazzi photo agency. Though they were set on a collision course due to a combination of fierce competition and deep pockets, their west coast brawl could have major implications for copyright law all over the country and, through proxy, the rest of the world.
However, it's not just one of the most important copyright cases currently ongoing, but also one of the most entertaining. Not only does this case involve photos of celebrities in compromising situations, but the case has also reached a level of vindictiveness rarely seen in copyright law.

Nest Of Spies: America's Journey To Disaster In Iran
By Amir Taheri
Reviewed by Gaddis Smith
From our Fall 1989 Issue
The author, editor in chief of Tehran's largest daily newspaper from 1973 to 1979, brings an understanding of Iranian culture and politics (lacking in even the best accounts by Americans) to this very good account of the interaction of Iran and the United States from the 1950s to the present. Although he is no friend of the Iranian Revolution, his judgments are fair and well documented; he makes particularly good use of the thousands of American diplomatic documents published by Iran after the seizure of the embassy in Teheran.
Snapshot, November 10, 2014
Three days before the media reported the deaths of Eyal Yifrah, Gilad Shaier, and Naftali Fraenkel, I was tipped off to their tragic fate. In early June 2014, the three Israeli teenagers had gone missing while hitchhiking in the West Bank; their kidnapping was one of several sparks ...
Response, SEPT/OCT 2014
For as long as the shah of Iran occupied the Peacock Throne, his relations with the United States depended on a mutually accepted falsehood. Neither side stood to gain from acknowledging that Washington's favorite dictator owed his position to American skullduggery. So regarding the events of ...

Most of the time, experts would recommend you to use a power step orthotics. They come in different forms like inserts, pads, insoles and even arch support. To help you get the right one, here are some things that you should learn.
5 Steps in Choosing myorthoticreviews.com INTRODUCTION The only way to avoid getting your feet injured is to keep them healthy all the time. This is very important and you should not take it for granted. If you do there will be problems. Most of the time, experts would recommend you to use a power step orthotics. They come in different forms like inserts, pads, insoles and even arch support. To help you get the right one, here are some things that you should learn. Type Of Orthotic The best way to determine which one you are going to look for is to assess first yourself. Depending on your needs, you can pick one type and go with it. Functional Orthotics Effective in supporting lower body mechanics like your legs, foot, lower back and ankles. This type of orthotic provides extra support and it limits the motion of your foot to help correct abnormal foot structure. Accommodating Orthotics Provides the user better cushioning. Cushioning is very important for those who are suffering from chronic disease and those that are severely injured. It also helps reduce the friction every time you make a stride. The Length Of course you also have to consider the length of your feet. Since power step orthotics are offered in different shapes and sizes, you need to determine your size first. Choose one that exactly fits from tip of your toe down to your heels. The Thickness For those who are concerned with the level of shock support on their shoes, you should consider the thickness of the orthotics. Of course the thicker is the insert the better shock support you can get. Rigid and Soft Rigid and soft type of orthotics also provides the right level of cushioning that you needed. This can help relieve foot problems such as inflammation, foot pain and more. What You Need it For Before you choose the type of power step orthotic that you are going to use, you should determine first your purpose of using one. If it's for casual events then you should know what works for you best. myorthoticreviews.com

Help To Identify Mantle Clock
Help - my wife and I picked up a mantle clock - the same style as in this photograph, except 50X better condition. Our works well and looks great. However, there are no labels on/in the clock and the clock works have no markings at all. I think it may be made by E. Ingraham company but Iam totally guessing - ANY informaion on this type of clock will be appreciated! God Bless!
That looks like an 8 day wind-up mantle clock. Unfortunately, you could find no labels. I would have expected to have found a label on the inside. There should be a back door on this clock to permit access to the pendulum and thatg is where I would expect to see markings and sometimes a repairman's note.
When you do get it all sorted out, do not be surprised if you find two names: one will be on the clock works and the other on the clock case. In many models, the clock maker makes only the cabniet and orders the mechnical assembly form a factory. The clock maker may also supply the face and hands,
In some instances, a dealer or jewelry store orders a batch of clocks bearing the name of their business. The clock maker orders the works from a maker, makes the cabinet, assemblies the clock and applies the business' name.
A tip: Pendulum clocks should not be transported with the pendulum weight attached. The pendulum weight should be removed even when moving the clock about the house especially if one has to carry the clock up or down a stairway. The escapement parts can be damaged if the pendulum is forced to move too far to one side, or the delicate pendulum support recieves a shock when the clock is set down too hard. A short move can be done with the pendulum weight attached if care is exercised against damaging motions.
There might be a label on the bottom of the clock. However, this is an unusual location. Do not turn the clock over until the pendulum weight has been removed. You can look at the bottom of the clock by using an inspection mirror and a flash light.
Use google with key words "clock, mantle, antique or collectible" to find sample clocks.
Thanks for the feedback - here is a picture of my clock - Accordig to the guys on another page, it appears to be a New Haven Milan, 8 day half hour strike, hour gong, oak cabinet with gilt face.... Does anyone know where New Haven's were made (Conn?) or anything more about this clock... Any information will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Rob
Drop a note to John at Delaney Antique Clocks in West Townsend, Massachusetts. Send him pictures. John is very helpful. I do not have any affiliation with John or the store but have purchased clocks from them. They are one of the premier antique clock dealers in New England. l I know they have New Haven clocks because I've considered a few.
Good luck.

Welcome to Spring Semester
It is my pleasure to welcome our newest Governing Board Member, Griselda Delgado, and to congratulate Members Tim Nader and Nora Vargas for their successful elections.
Ms. Delgado is currently a principal at Hilltop Middle and before that was a principal at one of our feeder high schools. Ms. Delgado began her teaching career working with some of the hardest-to-serve students in Los Angeles and Imperial counties. She has created curriculum for at-risk English language learners, and she brings a unique perspective to the board—having served eight years in the U.S. Army.
Griselda Delgado
Restoring Salaries
In 2013 all employees at Southwestern College took a 5% salary reduction to help the district address the effects of the worst recession in recent history. Thanks to additional funding later that year, we were able to restore 1.5% of that salary reduction to employees.
As the economy has improved, I am happy to report that the Governing Board will vote this month to restore the remaining 3.5% to all employees. We are most grateful for the sacrifices our employees made to minimize the impact on student programs.
Advocating for Southwestern College
Last month, Trustees Nader, Delgado and Humberto Peraza joined me, Superintendent/President Dr. Melinda Nish and ASO VP Leo Pascual in our annual legislative advocacy conference in Sacramento. As a new trustee, Ms. Delgado immersed herself in special workshops on college funding, policies and procedures and effective trustee governance.
While we heard about the Governor's proposed budget for education and student success initiatives, some of the most beneficial time was that spent with each of the assembly and senate members representing our area. In conjunction with the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community College Association, we advocated for an expansion of the baccalaureate degrees for community colleges, budget stability and loosening some of the restrictions on concurrent enrollment for high school students.
Pictured L-R: ASO VP Leo Pascual, myself, Trustee Tim Nader, Trustee Griselda Delgado, Superintendent/President Dr. Melinda Nish. (Not pictured: Trustee Humberto Peraza, Jr.)
Students, trustees and CEOs from each of the SDICCCA colleges met with Sen. Marty Block last month in Sacramento.
African-American History Month
We have a month of activities planned this month to celebrate African American History Month, including art exhibits, poetry readings and a gospel brunch. We hope you'll join us at one or more of the activities. For a full listing, click here.
Resolution in Support of Adjunct Faculty
Studies show that a well-paid, stable faculty workforce contributes to student success. That is why at the December meeting the Governing Board voted unanimously to support part-time faculty by requesting the Governor and state Department of Finance permanently fund equity compensation and paid office hours for part-time faculty in the California Community College system. We also requested that $100 million be allocated statewide to increase the number of permanent, full-time faculty positions.
To read about the other actions we took recently, click here.
Encouraging students to select Southwestern College as their first choice for higher education is a primary goal this year. The Governing Board heard about our advertising and outreach activities at our January meeting. An "Invest in Yourself" ad campaign began running last semester and our peer advisors are increasing their presence around the community.
Pathway to Point Loma Nazarene
The Southwestern College district has entered into an agreement with Point Loma Nazarene University to establish a transfer program.
Students within the program will take classes together at Southwestern College after which they will be accepted to Point Loma Nazarene University.
PLNU will provide $1,000 to the Southwestern College library for each cohort and give one student in each cohort a 75 percent tuition scholarship to PLNU.
Corner Lot Update
The fitness and wellness company MediFit will provide managing and operating services for the wellness center upon its completion. The Governing Board also selected Tucker Sadler Architects to begin architectural and design services for the new performing arts center and parking structure Prop R projects.
Sexual Harassment Training
Southwestern College is committed to a safe learning environment and has contracted with We End Violence to create an online anti-violence training program for Southwestern College students.
We End Violence is an organization led by Southwestern College Adjunct Professor Jeffrey Bucholtz that addresses the fundamental causes of violence, focusing on the cultural attitudes and behaviors that allow violence and discrimination to flourish.
The program, titled Agent of Change, will use the latest violence-prevention strategies to address topics required under the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act.
Clean Audits
Independent audit reports into Southwestern College Foundation, Proposition AA and Proposition R spending for the 2013-2014 show full compliance with Government Auditing Standards.
The three audits, conducted by Pun & McGeady, LLP, returned as unqualified, the highest grade a college can receive from an independent audit.
Other Actions taken in January:
Student Equity Plan
The Student Equity Plan subcommittee has researched completion rates among all student groups and has created a plan to increase student completion. At the top of the list is expanding tutoring programs and expanding boot-camp preparation courses for incoming freshman. Additional basic skills and cultural competence training was also suggested for faculty.
The report also suggested improving targeted outreach and image-enhancing marketing to attract a diverse student population.
The Governing Board unanimously adopted the plan.
Consulate Agreement
The Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego gave Southwestern College a $15,000 grant to provide stipends for students in the Institute for Mexicans Abroad Fellowship Program. Students in the program will mentor fellow students during the fall and spring semesters. The district will provide $3,000 in matching funds for the program.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Possible?!Weed Block stopped jap beetle attcking peonies??!!
tristateJune 7, 2010
No idea what happened this year as opposed to the last 20 years, but so far, no japanese beetles. Upstate NY seems like ground zero for japanese beetles and they've attacked my grandma's peonies for years. Tried lures and need to reapply milky spore.
But this year all I did was run 1 continuous sheet of contractor grade weedblock down the row of 7 peonies (cutting holes for the plants a month ago when they were up, but no buds). The peonies are up and blooming for the 2nd week and.. NO BEETLES.
Does anyone know if this is a fluke or did the paper actually stop the grubs from making their way up??!!! (I used lures again ad caught a couple of beetles which may have been passing by).

Carmelo Anthony on the rumors: "i just want to play ball"
Sep 22, 2010, 12:45 PM EDT
Whatever is swirling through the media, through back channels and into NBA front offices, Carmelo Anthony is going to come out at Nuggets camp and say all the right things. He's got that down. He'll do it to microphones next week, but he went to twitter and made these comments Wednesday night: Everyone has there…
Chicago trading Joakim Noah for Carmelo Anthony? Bad idea.
Sep 22, 2010, 12:01 PM EDT
Who knows who put this rumor out there — Denver staffers trying to up the ante, Carmelo Anthony people trying to push the deal forward — but it is the debate around the league: Should Chicago throw Joakim Noah into the deal to bring Carmelo Anthony to Chicago? No. No. A thousand times no. Let's…
Javaris Crittenton will go to Bobcats camp
Sep 22, 2010, 11:14 AM EDT

Wherever it is, the Miami Heat training camp still going to be a media circus
Sep 22, 2010, 10:54 AM EDT
Move it from Miami to the Florida panhandle, behind the Santa Rosa Sound. Onto a military base. Which means everyone who wants to attend needs to pass a military background check. It doesn't matter — the Miami Heat training camp will be a zoo. A four-ring media circus. Look what just ESPN is doing, as…
Dirk Nowitzki is going to get some help this season. No, really. They mean it this time.
Sep 22, 2010, 10:01 AM EDT
Last season Dirk Nowitzki played 2,011 minutes, 37.5 minutes per game. Almost identical to the season before that. Both of those increases from the season before that. Every year training camp rolls around and the Dallas Mavericks talk about not pushing Dirk Nowitzki so hard during the regular season, saving him for the playoffs a…
Beno Udrih, your Sacramento Kings starting point guard
Sep 22, 2010, 9:30 AM EDT
Near the end of last season, Beno Udrih seemed to figure out how to make it work in Paul Westphal's Sacramento. Granted, Kevin Martin and Sergio Rodriguez were gone, and Tyreke Evans missed some of those games with an injury. Still, the comfort level was unmistakable. This season, Westphal told the Sacramento Bee he is…

Phil Jackson: Miami has talent, but will they have teamwork?
Sep 22, 2010, 8:39 AM EDT
Phil Jackson knows a little something about winning titles. He knows there are two parts to getting a ring. First is having enough talent on the roster. Second is what Jackson has specialized in — molding that talent into a cohesive team. Jackson told ESPN 1000 in Chicago that Miami now has half of the…
Carmelo Anthony renews push for trade to New York or Chicago; Denver in no rush
Sep 22, 2010, 8:22 AM EDT
If you're wondering why so many — and at times conflicting — rumors are coming out about the Carmelo Anthony trade situation in the last few days, here's your answer. Anthony and his CAA team (led by agent Leon Rose) have stepped up to pressure a move before training camp starts, according to ESPN. And…

Carmelo Anthony rumors update (please bring plenty of salt)
Sep 21, 2010, 8:32 PM EDT
There are almost more rumors about Carmelo Anthony out there than there are people laughing at David Hasselhoff after last night. Almost.

Sep 21, 2010, 7:59 PM EDT
Oklahoma City had more than just Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Turkey for the World Championships, there was also Nenad Krstic from Serbia. It was Serbia that sent Spain packing, lost in dramatic fashion to Turkey in the semi-finals and finished fourth after losing the bronze medal game to Lithuania. In that final game,…
Jannero Pargo could be Chris Paul's backup
Sep 21, 2010, 7:41 PM EDT
New Orleans still needs a backup point guard, having traded away Darren Collison this summer. The pickings are a bit slim this time of year. Jannero Pargo — one of CP3's good friends — is still out there and could land a spot, according to Jason Reid of the Times-Picayune. "Pargo is a guy that…

Rudy Fernandez is excited to play in Portland now. Of course he is.
Sep 21, 2010, 4:20 PM EDT

Corey Maggette may miss part of training camp, should be ready for season
Sep 21, 2010, 1:52 PM EDT
Corey Maggette had an ankle operation back on July 1. It's one of those "clean out the bone chips and scar tissue" scoping jobs that many NBA veterans have done in the summer. However, recovery from this may keep Maggette out of the start of Bucks camp, coach Scott Skiles told the Journal Sentinel. "He's…
Who is the last Knick to camp? Eddy Curry. Shocking, we know.

It's a new season, a new era of optimism for Knicks fans (unless that optimism included getting Carmelo Anthony, but work with us here). Things are different, everyone is already at the Knicks training facility putting in work. Well, everyone but Eddy Curry, according Alan Hahn at Newsday. I heard yesterday that Curry was still…
ARCO name coming off Sacramento Arena after season

One team Carmelo Anthony won't be traded to: The Knicks
Sep 21, 2010, 11:10 AM EDT
The fast moving efforts to trade Carmelo Anthony — which now looks like it could happen even before training camps open — means the Knicks need to move on to Plan C. Or maybe it's Plan Y at this point. They have had a lot of dashed plans. Once the Knicks lost out on the…

The Christmas season is now simply referred to as the holiday season. It has become taboo to wish a Christian friend, co-worker, business associate, or a client, a Merry Christmas. The rationalization behind this transformation is that the word Christmas may be "offensive" to non-Christians.
I am not quite sure how this trend started. Was it requested or demanded by the easily offended, or was it an unsolicited act of giving and accommodating, for which Christianity and its followers are famous? Whatever the reason, as a Muslim, I want to make it clear to Christians of this great country and ...

No this will have no effect on starting your car, your on board service schedule is recommending brake work based on the cars driving experiance, if your brakes have already been replaced or are not actually ready this can be rectified by taking your vehicle to a shop with the proper equipment to set the computer to the proper percentage.

May-Britt and Denis Malbec, the winemaking team formerly of Château Latour in Bordeaux, craft wines from Fleuron's organically farmed hillside Alexander Valley Tin Cross Vineyard under the Captûre Wines label with the intent of producing wines that reflect a more Old World approach. In the case of Chardonnay, this translates to a more Burgundian styled offering; the 2010 opens with a nose of lemon and lees, with tangy green apple and mineral undertones. The wine spent 11 months in 100% French oak barrels, where contact with the lees promotes the development of a rich, creamy texture on the palate, framed by fresh acidity. The finish is clean and lingering. 856 cases produced.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.

viral buzz
Posted by Shirley Brady on April 15, 2011 11:30 AM
Those wags at T-Mobile in the UK have moved on from flashmobs to lookalikes — royal lookalikes.
The upcoming nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton inspired the brand's marketers to come up with the above made-for-viral video — a spoof of not only the royal family, but that wedding video — as released today and teased all week.
T-Mobile UK also just released what it's claiming is the first ever 3D time-lapse film, created by Paul WS Anderson, director of Resident Evil: Afterlife.
Tribal DDB hired Anderson for a Koyaanisqatsi-like short for T-Mobile owner Deutsche Telekom, to include in its Entertain 3D package in Germany; click here to watch it. Deutsche Telekom is still in the midst of its deal with AT&T for T-Mobile US, a transaction which is expected to go before the FCC for approval next week.
Meanwhile, another viral video pegged to the Royal Wedding is making the rounds, as Sheila Shayon reports:
Oh, Kate - is it too late for The Other Guys?
Ollie Boesen, an intern at Vibrant Media, has produced a video with Scotland's premier all male a cappella group, The Other Guys. It's, naturally, set at St. Andrews University in Scotland — where the Royal Couple met and fell in love — to celebrate their April 29th wedding.
Riffing on Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, James Horner, Gustav Holst, The Human League and Michael Jackson, the video was filmed and recorded by students.
Already a viral hit with nearly 100,000 views on YouTube, it has garnered coverage from BBC, ABC, GMA and is trending on Twitter and Facebook:

The OIG is assessing the extent to which the BOP is meeting the goals of the Release Preparation Program and how the BOP tailors the program to meet inmate needs.
The OIG's preliminary objectives are to: (1) assess the Federal Bureau of Prison's (BOP) process for releasing inmates on their appropriate release dates; and (2) determine whether the BOP can reduce the number of inmates that are mistakenly released before or after their appropriate release dates. The review will assess the relevant responsibilities of the Designation and Sentence Computation Center located at the BOP's Grand Prairie Office Complex as well as the responsibilities of individual institutions.
The OIG is reviewing current and planned security procedures employed by the BOP to detect and prevent contraband from entering BOP-operated institutions, to include searching staff, visitors, and inmates; cell phone detection/signal interruption technologies; and physical security measures.
The OIG initiated an audit of a BOP contract awarded to a detention center in Texas. The preliminary objective is to assess the BOP's and contractor's compliance with contract terms and conditions in the areas of billings and payments, staffing requirements, and contract oversight and monitoring. The scope of this audit is focused on but not limited to, contract performance from FY 2009 through December 31, 2013.
The OIG is examining the impact of the BOP's aging inmate population on inmate and custody management, including programming, housing, and costs. The review will also assess the recidivism rate of inmates aged 50 and older that were released from FY 2006 through FY 2013.
The OIG is examining how the BOP manages its private prison contracts, whether contract prisons are in compliance with BOP requirements, and how contract facilities compare with similar BOP facilities in terms of inmate safety, security, and cost.
The OIG is examining the management and security controls the BOP has in place for operating the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The OIG is examining the progress made by the Department to more effectively manage the International Prisoner Transfer Program, which allows selected foreign national inmates to serve the remainders of their sentences in their home countries' prison systems. The review will also further evaluate factors that limit the number of inmates ultimately transferred.

Mongoct & others, I need your help! SLC uneven & so is shower pan
Well, I got the cement board up, Durarock. The shower pan went in will I was away, so I can blame my husband and plumber for the fact that it is about an 1/8" to 3/16" out of level over the 5 feet. I could cut the Durarock out on the bottom 2 feet of the surround (they hung the durarock vertical) and level the pan better. To be truthful, later that night, I tried to work with my husband to get it better, but I wasn't the "level manager". My focus was putting shims under the legs so that it was not wobbling.
Second problem was my SLC pour that we did last weekend. It is not very smooth in an area. It also drops off 3/16" in about 5', room is 9.5'. On closer inspection the drop off is pretty rapid actually, as we transitioned between the 1st and 3rd pour, or there abouts. That is were the marked level change takes place. It was a comedy of errors. We had a drill and a backup drill. First drill crapped out (we thought). Second drill chuck not working (didn't check that small fact ahead of time). Son drove to the neighbors up the road and got their drill. Ended up overheating their drill a lot, so I bought them a new one. First drill cooled down and worked for a bit again. Anyway, 5 buckets of SLC got poured between the 2 working part time drills. The problem pour was when I was freaking out about the drill issues. I didn't smooth it as well with my long handled squeegee. Lighting was not the best either and I didn't see the ripples. When the drill crisis resolved, sort off, I started leveling at a different level apparently.
1) Shower pan, it is about an 1/8" to 3/16" out of level over the 5 feet. Is this a problem?
2) Can I make up the 1/8", up and down un-level areas, with thinset as I put down my un-coupling layer? I will be using Strata-Mat, then tile with 12x24 tiles. I will be using the "Tornado" leveling system.
I forged on. The Strata Mat is down and looks pretty good. I used Laticrete 254 thinset. I will leave the shower as is. It will drain and that is the main thing. I plan on having a sliding door, and the lower end will be where the stationary part is. So I think the shower door that slides past will be up a scant amount from the stationary door but...oh well. I don't think it will be a problem.

Help! Newly installed white cabinets don't match paint swatch.
Our kitchen cabinets, which are custom made by a local cabinet maker are in the process of being installed. The white that we chose is Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Our cabinet maker color matched it to a commercial grade oil based enamel paint in which he sprays on the cabinets. The color is not matching to the simply white at all. Is this because our Simply white that we sampled on a piece of primed wood is from a latex based paint? The color match formulation that was used on our cabinets is an oil base enamel. My question is: When everyone on this kitchen forum says that they are using a specific color by Benjamin Moore, is it REALLY a BM paint OR are they COLOR MATCHING it with another paint? Our cabinet maker said he couldn't use a BM paint because it wasn't formulated for commercial grade enamel finishing. If you did use BM, was it done professionally? And did they have to get a certain formulation? ALSO- our whites are so inconsistent between uppers and lowers. Is this due to the way the light is hitting it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Need to make decisions. Please see attached picture that shows difference b/w uppers and lowers, as well as the actual BM Simply White painted wood sample in the upper right cabinet! thank you!
First, I have a horrible problem with my uppers looking a completely different color than my lowers. The lowers turn turquoise in natural light, where the shaded uppers remain a gorgeous, gray/sage/green. SO yes, that could be the light.
HOWEVER Matching is matching.
Did you bring home samples and paint them on your walls to see how the color would behave in the lighting in your home?
Does the swatch & cabinet truly not match, or are you looking at the cabinets saying, "It's not the same?" Because if they really DON'T match, they're not color-matched.
It sounds like your guy is a professional. Start talking with him. Check to see that the swatch REALLY doesn't match. If it does and it's your lighting, you got trouble in River City, because he's done his job. Now if you start changing your paint, you're going to incur a lot of $$.
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. Cab install should be a happy time. My cabs are painted BM Simply White. And when I say 'painted' I mean sprayed with actual BM paint, Satin Impervo Waterborne to be exact, from the BM store. I didn't want oil-based paint for the yellowing factor.
My uppers seem to be the same color as my (few) uppers; I never noticed them to be different.
Didn't your cab market give you a sample sprayed door to approve first? If so, are your cabs different than that? If you got a sample and your cabs are appreciably different, then you've got some ground on which to stand.
Have you spoken with your cab maker about your concerns?
Decades ago, I had some latex wall paint matched at a paint place that was different from the branded paint swatch I carried in. It ended up a different color. When I called to ask, I was told there was a different amount of titanium (I think it was 'titanium' ... it was decades ago) in the base, and that it varies from brand to brand.
I wonder if this is what happened to you? Especially since the color match is between oil-basedlatex.
Personally, it looks barely off. Jardly enough to notice. You should put your samples in the lower cabinet where there's light. The shadows are obscuring the vision in the uppers. And your placement of the samples is accentuating the shadow in the back of the cabinet rather than letting you actually see what it looks like on the frame edge, where the sample is. Put the sample on the side of the cabinet, in full sunlight.
Oil doesyellow over time. Even if it were 100% matched when it was sprayed, it won't be the same color by the end of the first year. I doubt it could yellow rapidly enough to account for a not quite match here, but it won't be the exactly the same by the time you finish the project.
Within 2 years your cabinets will be noticeably yellower. My GC insisted on using oil paint on the trim in my New Orleans house and from 2010-2012, there was a non-uniform change in color (depending on the amount of natural light) but I doubt that's your issue here.
Talk to your cabinet guy. He sounds like an old school guy and he may have an explanation that will satisfy - doesn't look like this is his first rodeo.
I debated between two BM colors: Cloud White and Simply White. I gave my painter the large color chips and he painted out two sample doors for me in each color (satin finish). The colors matched the chips, but had much more depth and richness in the satin on an actual door with contours. After weeks of agonizing, I chose Cloud White. My cabinets looked EXACTLY like the sample doors, only better. When the job was done and the painter gave me the remaining gallon of paint, I discovered they'd had it matched and mixed by Kelly Moore, which is fine, since KM is a very good paint and they are excellent matchers.
My kitchen gets a lot of light and strong shadows. I also get plenty of reflected light from foliage outside which can make everything look green during certain times of day. What my eye perceives as different from Cloud White my brain translates to the right color.
I would suggest taking doors or drawer fronts from cabs you suspect are different and putting them in the same controlled light, maybe in a different room, and then decide if they are indeed different. If so, have a conversation with your painter.
Oil and latex versions of the "same" paint color are not identical in color. I don't know the science behind this (different light reflection? pigments appear different in different mediums?), but I know this is the case. In our house we painted the kitchen walls in oil based Hawthorne Yellow. We ran out out of paint for one section and got a quart of the same color in latex but supposedly the same sheen -- the colors were close but not an exact match. We thought there had been a mistake in mixing up the new quart so we tried again and got the exact same results.
mine were actually sprayed with benjamin moore simply white paint. i avoided a cabinet maker who wanted to color match for this every reason.
Ours were painted with BM (really BM) Simply White in oil. At first, I was upset that they did not match the swatch card either. They were much whiter, and it drove me nuts. However, our contractor (who was not responsible for the painter) assured me that the paint took a couple of weeks to cure, and it would be much more like the chip after that time. That has proven to be true. They've now been painted for about a month, and they're much closer. I think that if our painter had put an adequate number of coats of paint on, they would match perfectly because one spot where it's a tiny bit thicker is an exact match now.
I don't know about the BM versus non BM for the finish you got. (Ours were brushed.) I'm sure that if you call, a BM store could tell you what was possible and whether your painter was telling you the truth or not.
Can't offer a solution but I can from experience mention a few things regarding color matching.
Our perception of color is the reflection of light from the surface. As the surface changes so does the color. As the light, which has color, changes so does the color. Nearby colors also change our perception of a color.
It is possible(easy actually) to mix a color that matches in one light and does not match in a different light- don't remember the name for this phenomenon but having done critically exact color matches across lighting temps for a long time I know it to be so.
A few points in sheen difference also shifts a color enough for it not to match to the careful eye.
As WindyCityLindy pointed out many solvent paints take a longer period of time to dry down.
When we have to have a match done we always get a sample door for approval.
If something is to be painted to match the cabinet color we don't get the paint by number or name, rather have them then match the cabinet door. I do a lot of BM and SW matches with the factories, I know the SW colors come from SW not sure of the BM matches. In any case, since it is a different sheen (always), sprayed, and a different paint they are not a dead on match to the named color.
Many mainstream mfg's also top coat with a clear (which adds to the shift) for protection.
Now, having done matching for many years I can be hyper-critical about it.
If it doesn't dry down sufficiently (or was sprayed a few weeks ago) I'd look into making samples using the same paint and then see if there was a clear top coat solution that changes the sheen slightly. Not knowing exactly what the paint is I don't know if that is a possibility-some oil based enamels will not accept a top coat. One can hope anyway. Only other alternative is another coat of color. Either way the total build could get to be an issue and the maker won't be happy.
Thank you everyone for all your advice and suggestions. I have read each and every one of your posts. thank you-
First let me back this up by saying this: My cabinets were initially installed with a sprayed paint on them- a "Pittsburg" paint that my cabinet maker (yes he is old school!- fantastic builder and very nice to work with) had matched up to BM sImply White. Pittsburg is the paint he prefers to use over anything else b/c of it's commercial grade quality. We did not ask for a sample of how the actual color would look but we did however see what a sprayed cabinet looked like. Separately we saw what BM simply white looked like. I guess that's where the mistake was b/c even though it was color matched using a "formula" the cabinets casted a faint lime green tone. The kitchen looked like a "white kitchen" but when you held up real WHITE- you could see a huge difference. SO, without hesitation, our painter took our cabinets down and re primed and sprayed what he could and hand painted the other cabs which had the granite on it. Before he did the "2nd paint", he showed us the white we would be using and asked for approval. It looked white and much better than what was there, so we approved it for our cabinet builder to go ahead and re spray the cabs. Ok- 2nd install- cabinets go it, some look WHITE and others look really off. No consistency. NOT HAPPY!! That's when I wrote my first post on GW. SO, we had our cab guy here today and again, with a great attitude and willing to solve this "white" issue we are having, we decided to talk to the people at BM and do some more research and we are now testing BM Simply white in the ADVANCE. This came highly recommended by the BM people. Apparently the yellowing that you MIGHT see in an oil base is not for YEARS to come- and that's very slight. BUT the oil base paint is the best when it comes to preserving the cabinets from nicks and scratches and with white cabinets, you have to be very careful of that.So with all this being said, my husband and I just held up two painted SIMPLY WHITE BM boards. One on the corner upper and one next to it. BOTH the same white. The one on the curved cabinet is a different color than the one next to it- it has almost and icey bluish tint to it. NOW we think it may be the lighting. So, my husband just ran to Home Depot to get a different bulb for the ceiling light. We will try this before we have our cabinet guy take down everything and repaint!!! I just think white cabinets in our kitchen may just be very inconsistent. Go figure, we have a slew of big windows with natural light and a ton of high hats. this kitchen reno is just part of a huge reno on our house/ gutting and addition- that went smoooooth. The kitchen cabinet part is what's giving us a hard time. going on 5 months without a kitchen. UGH!
I am sorry you are having this problem. I am kind of having a similar problem. I too got Benjamin Moore Simply White but I used the Waterborne. My cabinet maker had his painter paint them by spraying. When the cabinets went in certain ones looked yellower than others. They don't know what happened. Five gallons bought at once at Benjamin Moore. The crown moulding looks bright white even though I saw that it was coming from a gallon of simply white. Weird! I hope that it is just the lighting with your kitchen. I am not sure what we are going to do.
I'm lucky enough to know at least mine is lighting.
However, it took 4 different paints to finally come up with something that doesn't convert.
My uppers will remain my beloved Duron 'Rugged Trail' in Cabinet Coat paint, and the bottoms will be Valspar's 'Colonial Beige'.
Just crazy.
