The acting is very good, the script is solid, and the special effects where sub-par, which is great for B-Movies.
For those that have read the book... There just wasn't as much logic to it, but how much was there really in the book?
The problem is that this eliminated what was supposed to be John and Dave's introduction to Dr. Marconi in Vegas.
Once again, I fell victim to gloriously written reviews. I purchased the book and was able to get through the first third before confirming that it wasn't my interest. Read morePublished 1 day ago by Hiram Davis
Strange, wacky, and humorous. Don't think objectively about the plot line after you watch it, it won't really stand up to scrutiny. But its fun, bizarre, and insane.Published 3 days ago by Elisabeth Liesi Westfall

This movie was surprisingly good. I didn't know what to expect going into it.
It's a bit campy, a bit spooky, and a bit vulgar, but all in all a worthwhile experience.

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You can be sure that 9 times out of 10, the job will go to the guy/gal who does hand over the info.
It's against the law to ask employees or prospective employees for login info for social media sites, unless those accounts are owned by a company or an educational institution.
So I guess the question is, do you own your facebook account? Do you own your gmail account? How about your iTunes account?
I would guess that those companies would say No.
Don't you Americans have any basic right to privacy?
Nope. We have a bunch of fucking sociopaths running the corporate world these days. Another 10 years of this shit and we're all going to be stuck in some neo-dickensian nightmare. The only "people" who have rights anymore are the corporations. The rest of us are just cattle unless you happen to have a high-enough net worth.

A place to hang your hat—we know how important that sense of place is. And at this time of year, many students are beginning to figure out their place for the upcoming year. Where will they call home in the fall?
As students struggle to answer "Where should I live?" they will likely face the following concerns:
WHO? Who should I live with? Is it healthy for my current roommate and I to keep rooming together? Do I want to try living with a group? What if I can't find anyone who wants to share a space with me? Will my friends and I remain friends if we live together?
WHERE? If I live on campus next year, what environment would be best? Should I live in a campus apartment, a suite, a theme house or somewhere else? If I live off campus, should I live with my family? Or should I get a place with some friends? How far away from campus do I want to be? Will I still be able to be involved with activities that are important to me?
HOW? How will I pay for my housing next year? Do I have enough for the deposit that's required now? Where will I store my belongings during the summer? Do I need to find separate housing for the summer? What will I do about a meal plan? Will I need to get a job?
If your student wants to talk through the options with you, pose the above questions to help him or her look at the big picture. It's not just about holing up with three of their best buddies in an off-campus apartment or an on-campus suite. It's about how this decision will impact other areas of your student's life, from involvement to finances to wellness and beyond. Home sweet home… it's a big decision.

old Type: Where did you get the idea for The Houdini Girl?
MB: I wanted to write a novel about deceit and betrayal, and their shocking impact on people. But I needed a premise, a starting point, to hang the story on. Then I read in a newspaper about a woman dying in a car crash. I posed the question: what if? What if this woman was making the journey in secret, unknown to her partner? What if her death made him wonder about where she was going, and why? What if his search for the truth gradually revealed a hidden side to her, a double life? And what if she wasn't the only one with a secret? That was my starting point.
How did you come up with the character Red?
MB: Once I had the basis of a story, I had to decide what type of man my central male character should be. Giving him a job that fitted in with the novel's themes of deceit and betrayal would enable me to explore these ideas through him. So I made him a magician. Illusion is all about making people believe what you want them to believe, or what they want to believe. There are obvious parallels with deceitful relationships. As for his personality, it was necessary (for reasons to do with the plot) that I let the reader like him without being entirely sure about trusting him.
BT: What about Rosa?
MB: To a small degree, she--especially in her speech patterns and mannerisms--is based on a couple of Irish women I have known over the years. Her attitude, however, is pure invention on my part. I wanted to make her feisty; a victim who refuses to be victimized. I wanted her vulnerability to be concealed beneath a thick protective layer of aggression. For purposes of plot and theme, she had to be so sexy that the reader, initially, is deceived into believing sexuality is all there is to her.
BT: Which of these two characters do you identify with most?
MB: Rosa. She is absolutely nothing like me, but I loved writing her chapters, thinking her thoughts, talking in her voice. Flights of pure imaginative escapism for the author. I like Rosa so much it makes me sad that she exists only as a fictional character. And a dead one, at that.
BT: Does magic play a part in your life?
MB: I don't do magic tricks, never have done. Before writing this book I wasn't even especially interested in magic or magicians. But once I'd chosen that profession for Red, I carried out extensive research into the subject and got hooked. All the illusions described in The Houdini Girl are based on actual stage magic that I have seen performed or read about in books or heard about from magicians. I find it interesting that, in such a technologically sophisticated age, conjuring tricks can still hold an audience spellbound with wonder.
BT: How much of the novel was planned before you started writing?
MB: I worked out a rough framework of characters, key scenes and events, as I always do, then altered things as I went along. I find I need some kind of structure to work with, so long as it's flexible enough to let the storyline and the characters breathe. This novel pretty much followed the plan I made, although I abandoned a couple of plot twists as they proved to be cumbersome and unnecessary complications. Also, the ending is quite different to how I'd envisaged-- but I can't say how or why without spoiling it for those who haven't yet read the book!
BT: How did you decide upon the title?
MB: Originally, the novel was going to be called The Zigzag Girl, after the zigzag girl illusion described in an early chapter. But while I was working on it, two or three books came out with 'zigzag' in the title (Zigzag Street, The Zigzag Kid) so I had to change it. The Houdini Girl occurred to me for a couple of reasons--firstly, because the great Harry Houdini figures in the book; secondly, because the idea of Rosa as some kind of escapologist--emotionally if not physically--is very apt. In fact, I like the eventual title much better than the one I discarded.
BT: Did you visit Amsterdam while researching the novel?
MB: I've been to Amsterdam several times. It is, I think, my favourite of the European cities I've visited. When I decided to set the second half of the novel there, I went across for five days to conduct specific research--mainly 'location' stuff (bars, streets, cafés, buildings etc.) for scenes I planned to write. Fact-based material on the city, I got from books and the internet at my local library. Amsterdam has so much more to it than the sleazy sex-and-drugs element which gives it its chief notoriety. Of course, my novel will do little to alter this reputation- -but I'm a novelist, not a tourism officer.
BT: What writers do you like to read?
MB: I read a lot of American fiction in my teens and twenties--Kerouac, Salinger, Hemingway, Steinbeck. It was Kerouac's On the Road, which I read while travelling around the U.S., that made me want to be a writer. More recently, I've become a fan of Vonnegut, Carver, Auster, Proulx, Morrison, Oates and DeLillo (I'm re-reading White Noise at the moment.) My favourite contemporary British writers are Alan Warner, Rupert Thomson, A.L. Kennedy and James Kelman. I like Margaret Atwood--The Handmaid's Tale is right up there with The Trial, Slaughterhouse Five and Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman among my most-loved novels.
BT: Is The Houdini Girl typical of your work?
MB: Yes and no. Its themes are different to those of my two earlier novels, only one of which (Acts of Revision) was published in the U.S. The structure and narrative style are also markedly different. This is the most plot-driven of the three books. What they do have in common is accessibility for the reader and an attempt to balance story and ideas. I want my work to be easily read without being superficial; enjoyable but challenging. Page-turners with substance, I suppose. That's the aim, anyway.

... see the ski jump from the 1964 Olympics. The mountains and even further. It was actually quite scary to be up that high. It was amazing to see it from that angle though. After that we then went for a walk along the river and ended up back in the main square where we were going to try some strudel but our eyes quickly turned to the schnapps distilery. Austria is where schnapps comes from and of course they are very famous for it. The liquor is made 40 km away ...

Random House New Releases - Education - Special Education - Socially Handicapped http://www.randomhouse.com/category/ www.randomhouse.com 2006-03-13T11:23:00-05:00 Raising a Left-Brain Child in a Right-Brain World by Katharine Beals www.randomhouse.com
Raising a Left-Brain Child in a Right-Brain World Strategies for Helping Bright, Quirky, Socially Awkward Children to Thrive at Home and at School
Written by Katharine Beals
Trade Paperback, 240 pages | Trumpeter | Family & Relationships - Children with Special Needs; Family & Relationships - Learning Disabilities; Education - Special Education - Socially Handicapped | $16.95 | 978-1-59030-650-5 (1-59030-650-3)
Does your child:

   • Have impressive intellectual abilities but seem puzzled by ordinary interactions with other children?
   • Have deep, all-absorbing interests or seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of certain subjects?
   • Bring home mediocre report cards, or seem disengaged at school, despite his or her obvious intelligence?

If you answered "yes" to these questions, this book is for you. Author Katharine Beals uses the term "left-brain" to describe a type of child whose talents and inclinations lean heavily toward the logical, linear, analytical, and introverted side of the human psyche, as opposed to the "right brain," a term often associated with our emotional, holistic, intuitive, and extroverted side.

Drawing on her research and interviews with parents and children, Beals helps parents to discover if they are raising a left-brain child, and she offers practical strategies for nurturing and supporting this type of child at school and at home. Beals also advises parents in how best to advocate for their children in today's schools, which can be baffled by and unsupportive of left-brain learning styles.

The Payday Loan PresidentMarch 31, 2015
To hear President Obama tell it, if workers and families just give more of their money to the federal government to spend, bureaucrats and politicians will be able to make "investments" and improve the future.

Hi there - I bought brewing kit that that has a 7.9 gallon plastic primary fermenter bucket with a 3 piece airlock.
I got everything into my bucket yesterday, and tried to put on the lid. The lid doesn't seem to be able to really lock down - so I put saran wrap and tape around the bucket to create a seal.
I then put the airlock on the lid - the challenge is that there is just a hole there, and no rubber ring to stick the airlock into for a good airtight seal. I put tape around the airlock to try to create a seal.
All that being said - I have a couple of questions.
1. am I potentially going to contaminate the beer with using tape and saran wrap to create a good seal?
2. For the airlock - should I just set it on the lid instead of trying to create an airtight seal with tape?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
You are OK with the saran wrap, but the lid should snap on. If you are not sealing with an airlock, then don't bother with the saran wrap.
I assume there is a half-inch diameter hole in the lid. Are you sure there is not a black rubber seal in the kit. You can buy them for about 35 cents at any HBS.
If the airlock doesn't fit snug, then I wouldn't bother with it. Just cover the hole with something so nothing can fall in. All that happens during primary is gases come out. Maybe get a glass lid from a pan and use it to cover the hole.
Remember a lot of commercial beers are fermented in open fermenters. All you want to do during primary fermentation is stop anything falling in. Once the main fermentation is over, you will need to have the beer in a sealed container to prevent oxygen entering. I would say you are good for at least a week, or until kraeusen has dropped (whichever is longer).
Don't let the tape touch your beer and it wont be able to contaminate anything. Start saving at this point to get a new fermentation bucket, they shouldn't be more than about 20 to 25 bucks, and it will remove a lot of variables in your future batches.
That makes sense.
On this one, since I have everything already set up, would there be a problem with just leaving the taped airlock on the fermenter? As I mentioned before, it's a 7.9 gallon bucket, so I just want to make sure that once it starts fermenting, it won't overflow or reach the top (and then touch the tape that I mentioned).
There is about 5 gallons initial volume in the fermenter.
Thanks again

Those lids can be tricky to get on. I used a mallot hammer and lightly tapped around the edges until it snapped on.
yeah I bet your lid will snap on, but sometimes you have to really give it some pressure to get it to SNAP into place along the rim.... don't be gentle with it, give it hell.
you could make a blow off tube for the bucket lid. i have airlocks and a blowoff tube i use myself. i like each one, but each set up has advantages and disadvantages.
I'm drinking an oatmeal stout right now wich was left 6 weeks in primary in a non-airtight container. No sign of oxidation to be found. Make sure to not mess with the beer, move it as little as possible and everything will be fine if you block all entry points for dirt, dust, drafts and bugs.
I do recommend getting a second fermentor that can be airtight though: with my buckets, after leaving them cracked open for a week or two, I can always snap them in place, creating a perfect seal. But for your first beer, there shouldn't be any problem.

Recent Nuevo Vallarta Reviews
While our vacation was cut short due to a personal emergency, we loved the 2 days we were able to spend in this beautifully decorated and kept apt. Walking distance to the beach and excellent restaurants in the area. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Didn't rent a car, but has a private garage.
Superb Apartment, Great Location - recommended!
We spent just over a week here in Puerto Vallarta in this fantastic apartment - the accommodation certainly exceeded our expectations and the facilities in the resort were superb. In addition, the hotel complex is situated in a beautiful bay with every water sport imaginable and extreme sport tours to the mountains for the more adventurous! The owner's representative looked after us very well and the rooms were very clean, spacious and extremely luxurious with all the mod cons including Wi-Fi. Whilst this was not an all inclusive' stay, we negotiated a 20% discount for our holiday which more than covered eating in the restaurants in the hotel complex or simply driving into PV and dining in the local restaurants there. I think our greatest memories were the BBQ's by the rooftop pool watching the fantastic sunsets over the bay every night - and the boat trip with the dolphins in the bay!. To be honest, I can't think of anything negative to put in this review - we had a great time at a great price in a great location!
