MARCH 2015NYC 4 piece Gasoline Heart hits the road again this spring in support of their newest long player "Thanks for Everything" produced by Jeremy SH Griffith.
After packing up the plantation and moving GH HQ to the Big Pineapple from the parochial vibes of the Sunshine State (props to its most chill patron saint, Tom Petty), singer Louis DeFabrizio cut a record steeped in timeless tales of burning hometown bridges and forging a new beginning out of nothing more than a good woman, an old van, and some tight homies. Oh yeah, & loud guitars etc etc.
Importing rhythm section brothers Travis & Cannon Hearne to give his Westerbergian ruminations on the sad vagarities of life some bombastic heft, Gasoline Heart takes their unforgettable live show back on the road in 2015. Ex-Marah fugitive Adam Garbinski also shows up on guitar, delicately flawed in the most amenable way. Any given night, one band out there has the chance to be truest rockers in the world. This could be your chance to see if Gasoline Heart can snatch the crown.
"Thanks for Everything," the top new record from Gasoline Heart, is available now on (where?)

The only item on the agenda to receive an oppositional voice from Cheraw Town Council members Tuesday evening was the vote on how to move forward with the Cheraw Complex.
The vote was 4 to 2 in favor of seeking costs estimates to demolish and rebuild one section of the building, and renovate the other two areas of the complex. Councilman Billy Wallace Jr. and Councilwoman Jacqueline Ellerbe-Shannon voted against the motion.
Cheraw Town Administrator Mike Smith said the 1,500 square foot section of the structures, the area closest to Powe Street that formerly housed the office space for many of the B.C. Moore's executives, is the area targeted for demolition.
Recent estimates on roof repairs — that were far higher than expected — and several other factors, said Smith, have prompted council to consider a different course of action.
"The roof estimates ranged from $800,000 to $1.3 million," said Smith. "And then all we'd have for that much money would be a roof. There would still be the problem of too much building space that's not suited to our needs. Plus, there's the problem of heating and cooling space we don't need."
"We've looked into lots of different possibilities, and other uses, but they were too costly," said Smith. "That's how the idea of demolition and reconstruction has come into play. We're hoping it will prove to be more cost effective now, and in the long run."
Council members voted unanimously to re-elect Cheraw Town Councilman John K. Melton as Mayor Pro Temp for the next two years.
"I want you to know I much I appreciate your confidence in me," said Melton.
Municipal Judge J.A Graves was appointed and unanimously re-elected for a two-year term and Anthony Harris, will continue to serve as the town's attorney. Councilman Fred Harris abstained from that vote.
Council was again unanimous in welcoming the idea of providing waster water treatment for the town of Pageland. Mayor Andy Ingram said that "recent directional changes suggest we should go on record as extending that invitation." Jason Evans was recently elected Pageland's new mayor.
Ingram and Smith met with Evans last week after Brenda Workman, executive director for the Chesterfield County Economic Development Board, informed them that Pageland was planning to submit a waste water treatment plan for the Capital Sales Tax Project.
"If we can offer what they need it would be great to have that economic boost," said Smith. "But if it's better for them to go else where we understand that too. We just want them to be aware of what we can offer, and invited them to check with the town of Chesterfield about the town's service they have received over the last eight years."
Councilman Randy Butler was all for the idea.
"That would help so many people in the Ruby and Mt. Croghan area that are currently on private septic systems," Butler said. "It would be good, environmentally, to get them hooked up to our facility."

Microsoft fights back with hybrid in Windows 8
New Windows 8, to be rolled out next month, will merge tablet and laptop into one device
Published on Sep 30, 2012 6:00 AM
Why pay separately for a tablet and a laptop, when you can get a two-in-one hybrid device? That will be Microsoft's key selling point when it rolls out Windows 8 - the latest version of its flagship operating system software - on Oct 26.
On that day, major PC makers around the world will launch a slew of hybrid PCs in all shapes and sizes, merging the power of a laptop for content creation with the convenience of a touchscreen tablet for content consumption into a single device.
Think tablets with removable keyboard docks like the HP Envy x2, convertible laptops with screens that can be folded or swivelled back to become tablets like the Dell Duo 12, and even laptops with two screens - one on the inside and one on the outside of the lid, like the Asus Taichi.
Touchscreen tablets have become consumer must-buys since the launch of the first iPad two years ago. While total global shipments of mobile computers (tablets and laptops) are expected to more than double from 330,000 units now to more than 700,000 by 2016, sales of tablets are expected to grow much faster, according to a recent report by United States research company NPD. It also predicted that by 2016, more tablets will be shipped than laptops, and the tablet's share of the mobile computer market will rise from one-third now to just over half.

Beverly Johnson's ex-boyfriend has filed suit against the supermodel for bringing backup to their breakup.
TMZ.com reports Mark Anthony Burk is suing Beverly for emotional distress after she allegedly forced him to end their relationship at gunpoint. Allegedly she came to his house in January of 2009 armed with a gunman and a separation contract.
The suit states that Chuck Zito flashed his gun while Beverly loudly demanded that Mark ink the deal. The agreement would have paid him $2,000 to move out of her house.
Mark is also suing producer Robert Evans, who he claims was also involved in the dust-up.

Best Wireless Router for 2 story homeI'm seeking suggestions for the best wireless router for a 2 story 3300 sf home. The router is placed upstairs at one end. Coverage in the past has been pretty good upstairs, but sometimes iffy downstairs. There are no serious issues, but I wonder if if it's time to change out.
There are always 2 laptops connected, plus 2 iPhones. When kids home from school this summer, 4 laptops (2 of which are Macs, others run Win 7), 4 iphones, a gaming system, plus a tablet. (Although not all at same time.)
Currently have a Lynksys Wireless-N Broadband Router (WRT160N) which is about 4 years old. I've gone with D-Link or Lnksys in the past, but have really been disappointed with the last version of the Lynksys Easy Link Advisor.
Cost isn't as big a concern as getting a good solution, but bargains are always nice.
So I'm looking for a router suitable for the size of our house and number of devices, reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks. Those are some great leads and both the Linksys E4200/E4500 seem highly rated. But in reading reviews (Amazon, Best Buy, CNet) I see several detractors as well and a common thread of folks who seem to prefer the ASUS RT-N66U or RT-AC66U
Does anyone have experience with those or information how the Linksys and ASUS models compare?
ASUS are fastest/flakier and higher price.... E4200 better coverage somewhat pricey
I myself have TP-Link WDR-4300 because it is "next best" and was $45 cheaper on a SD.
My Tp-Link is awesome for my 2468 sqft 2 story.

I would look at possibly moving the router downstairs most routers are made to broadcast in a half circle above the router, you could add a 2nd router using powerline Ethernet to the first floor and be in really good shape. I have a 2 story 3200 sq ft home and my router is downstairs all of the house get s a great signal.
Everyone - I really appreciate all your ideas. In this case, convenience is more important than the price of equipment. And - honestly - when you consider we typically use a router for a few years and it benefits multiple users every single day, the cost is neglible over time.
I've spent a lot of time on various sites reading reviews (yes, I take them with a grain of salt) and one thing in particular that strikes me is the many former Linksys advocates that prefer the ASUS. And I wasn't really that thrilled with my last Linksys experience, so I'm happy to branch out.
I'd rather not move the router as that means bringing in the cable folks to re-wire, plus finding a place to put the equipment out of sight. Right now it's in my home office with all the other tech stuff where the main cable/internet inferface is.
Even if you buy a new router consider keeping the WRT160n and dropping DD-WRT linux firmware on it (which is what I put on mine) and use it to extend the range of your other routers signal. It's so easy to do and that DD-WRT on the 160n is very stable, better than the stock Linksys crap.
LIES...E4200 is NOT BETTER! Smallnetbuilder proves that the Asus N66U has better performance and range in most of the the wireless bands. http://www.smallnetbui
The N66U also has a better ratings on Amazon and Newegg!
The only place E4200 is better is if you are looking at it from a price point of a refurbished router.
Till you do I stand behind my opinion.

The number of television households in the U.S. is forecast by Nielsen to be 114.1 million next year, down from 114.7 million in 2012, representing the second straight year that figure has declined. The market research firm said the decline reflects changes in U.S. census data and the increasing use of other electronics products for watching TV programs. Nielsen also reported that Americans watch an average of almost five hours of video each day, with 98% of that seen on TV sets, and that 80.2 million U.S. homes have high-definition TVs, up 8 million from last year.

The Response to Selection for Broad Male Response to Female Sex Pheromone and its Implications for Divergence in Close-Range Mating Behavior in the European Corn Borer Moth, Ostrinia nubilalis

Coordinated sexual communication systems, seen in many species of moths, are hypothesized to be under strong stabilizing natural selection. Stabilized communication systems should be resistant to change, but there are examples of species/populations that show great diversification. A possible solution is that it is directional sexual selection on variation in male response that drives evolution. We tested a component of this model by asking whether 'rare' males (ca. 5 % of all males in a population) of the European corn borer moth (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis, that respond to the sex pheromones of both ECB and a different Ostrinia species (O. furnacalis, the Asian corn borer, ACB), might play an important role in diversification. We specifically tested, via artificial selection, whether this broad male response has an evolvable genetic component. We increased the frequency of broad male response from 5 to 70 % in 19 generations, showing that broad-responding males could be important for the evolution of novel communication systems in ECB. We did not find a broader range of mating acceptance of broad males by females of the base population, however, suggesting that broad response would be unlikely to increase in frequency without the involvement of other factors. However, we found that ECB selection-line females accepted a broader range of courting males, including those of ACB, than did females of the base population. Thus, a genetic correlation exists between broad, long-range response to female sex pheromone and the breadth of female acceptance of males at close range. These results are discussed in the context of evolution of novel communication systems in Ostrinia.

From the Publisher
"Who says there is no progress in social science, especially in predicting who is likely to become chronically violent? Distilling 20 years of research on men who assault their female partners, Dutton has produced a seminal paradigm for understanding the origins, development, and occurrence of intimate aggressive behavior. Among only a handful of books of similar influence in the field of applied social psychology, I predict this work will guide thinking and research in this emerging area for some time to come."--Ehor Boyanowsky, PhD, School of Criminology, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
"By far the best text on the male batterer written to date. Dutton's conceptualization of the psychology of male batterers is firmly grounded in the broader clinical psychology and psychiatric literature as well as his 20 years of extensive domestic violence research and clinical work. This book is a 'must read' for any clinician working with perpetrators or victims of violence. I am convinced that this book will stand the test of time and is destined to be a classic text on this issue." --Daniel Jay Sonkin, PhD, Psychotherapist, Sausalito, California, author of Learning to Live without Violence: A Handbook for Men

How can I make my baby more comfortable?
You'll want to make sure that your baby gets as much rest as possible, then do what you can to make him feel better. Some things to try:
- If your baby's eating solids, he may appreciate cold drinks or ice pops, which will numb the pain a bit, or warm (not hot), soothing liquids — like broth or tea.
- Place a comfortably warm hot-water bottle or compress on his neck.
- Give him the correct dose of children's acetaminophen to lower fever and ease pain. (Ask the doctor first if your baby is less than 3 months old.) Never give your baby aspirin, however, which is associated with Reye's syndrome, a rare but dangerous disease.
- Humidify the air. Adding moisture to the air can reduce throat irritation and make it easier for your baby to sleep. Be sure to change the water in a room humidifier daily and clean the unit as directed to help prevent the growth of harmful mold and bacteria.
- Keep cigarette smoke and other air pollutants away from your baby. These can irritate a sore throat.
Is tonsillitis ever serious?
Although less common in babies, tonsillitis is a very common childhood illness. And it's usually no cause for worry. You'll need to address it, though — by having your baby take antibiotics if the culprit is bacterial and by keeping an eye on the infection no matter the cause.
Tonsillitis can progress to form an abscess — a collection of pus between the tonsils and the surrounding tissue that can cause severe swelling. Rarely, the infection will spread to the bloodstream, neck, or chest.
The other danger is that, because it's hard for your baby to swallow, he will have a hard time getting enough fluids and may become dehydrated. So keep pushing the liquids, even in small sips, and watch for signs of dehydration.
If my baby does have tonsillitis, will he need to get his tonsils out?
Not at this age. Or even when he's a toddler. In fact, it's unusual for children under the age of 3 to have a tonsillectomy.
Even for older children, tonsillectomies aren't performed as often as they once were. Doctors now recognize that the tonsils play a role in filtering harmful bacteria and viruses, so they suggest removing them only when they're a chronic problem.

Increase In Deforestation In Brazil
An increase in deforestation in March and April in the Amazon has led Brazil to announce the creation of an emergency task force.
According to official statistics, 368 square miles of the Amazon has been deforested, which is six times the amount during the same period last year.
Environment Minister Izabella Teixeira, who announced the increase, said the task force will be comprised of government experts and representatives of states badly impacted by recent deforestation.
"Our goal is to stifle deforestation," Teixeira said during a press conference. "And we are going to do it by July."
According to official statistics, Mato Grosso saw 298 square miles of forest destroyed in two months.
Teixeira said those responsible for illegal deforesting will have their cattle seized.
She said officials in Mato Grosso are investigating how much land was destroyed in their state.
Brazil has about 3.3 million square miles of jungle and forests of which only about 1 million are under state protection.
Deforestation peaked in 2004 at about 16,777 square miles a year, and in 2010 it dropped to 4,038 square miles.
Mato Grosso produces more than a quarter of Brazil's soybean harvest. Some environmentalists say that rising demand for soy and cattle is prompting farmers to clear more of their land.
However, others see a direct link between the jump in deforestation and months of debate over easing an existing law on forest protection.
"You have 300-400 lawmakers here in Brasilia sending the message that profiting from deforestation will be amnestied, that crime pays," Marcio Astrini from Greenpeace told Reuters.
"The only relevant factor is the Forest Code. It is a gigantic rise."
The Forest Code, enacted in 1934 and amended in 1965, sets out how much of a farmer's land he can deforest.
Regulations currently require that 80 percent of a landholding in the Amazon remain forest, 20 percent in other areas.
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said during her campaign that she would make no concessions that would result in further deforestation or threaten Brazil's international environmental commitments.

Tailor-made for the NBA
By by Anne Marie Cruz
NEW YORK -- Orange jumpsuits. That's what
Mike Dunleavy Jr.
was worrying about almost exactly three years ago. He and a buddy wanted to go to his senior prom dressed like
Jim Carrey
Jeff Daniels
Dumb & Dumber
, minus the bowl haircuts.
But this is the day of the NBA draft -- not exactly Farrelly Brothers time.
An orange jumpsuit might be a nice change of pace Wednesday night.
So now the soon-to-be ex-Dookie is plumbing the selection of dress shirts at Rochester Big & Tall, right around the corner from the Sheraton in midtown Manhattan, where all the draftees are staying.
Mike Dunleavy Sr.
is consulting one of the stylists about pressing the shirts in time for his son's 5:30 p.m. bus ride to Madison Square Garden. Dad put in an emergency call last Friday to his suitmaker
Cary Mitchell
, the tailor responsible for the sartorial splendor of
Tiger Woods
, and the draft day looks of
Jay Willliams
Qyntel Woods
Kareem Rush
Caron Butler
Chris Wilcox
But right now, Mike Jr. is only too happy to reminisce about orange jumpsuits. "My friend and I actually went to a rental place to try some on," he says, grinning at the memory. "But he was a football player, so he was big." He demonstrates by broadening his shoulders. "And I'm tall, so they didn't have our sizes. We went with more traditional suits. But we still had fun."
Meanwhile his mother,
, just stares wide-eyed as her son riffles through an assortment of ties. "I can't believe we're doing this already," she admits. "Wasn't his senior prom just yesterday?"
Watching her son experiment with different combos, trying on the trappings of the NBA lifestyle, is only stressing her out. She corrals the rest of the Dunleavy crew for a stress-relieving trip to Barney's fashion emporium. "My husband's a clothes horse," she says. "They'll be fine by themselves."
Even though suits normally take four weeks to create, Mitchell managed to drum up two suits -- a pewter-colored number for the press conference, and a tan one for the draft -- based on measurements he got from Mike Jr. before the season last fall.
"Which tie do you like?" Mike Sr. asks his son. Mike Jr. pulls up a silverish tie with a diagonal pattern. Dad immediately nixes it. "When you're on TV, things show up differently. That tie won't look good."
Mike Jr. nods. "It's a whole different ballgame now, huh?" They settle on a simpler, light blue pattern and head down the escalator to the shoe department.
"I just decided to do this last week, so I'm so far behind," Mike says, placing his tennis shoes neatly beside his chair, as he tries on a pair of size 15 tan dress shoes. Once his feet are tightly laced in, he stands up. Mike Sr. examines his son's reaction. "I'm ready to go bowling now," says Dunleavy with a smirk. They'll have to find shoes elsewhere.
"I can't believe I'm going to have to start spending my own money," Mike Jr. says as his dad heads to the counter, credit card in hand. I tell him
change when
David Stern
calls his name. He nods.
"Did you know that Cary Mitchell is Tiger Woods' tailor, too?" I ask.
"Really? Even for tournaments?" Mike Jr. says, clearly impressed. "It makes sense. You can tell, because these suits are easy-fitting."
I ask him if he's thinking, "I have the same tailor as Tiger Woods. Yee-uh."
Dunleavy looks away and shakes his head, grimacing in a way that seems to dismiss any sense of awe.
Then he looks up and smiles. "That I even have a tailor is funny to me."

ORANGE, Larry Lipson: I would like UC Irvine law professor Erwin Chemerinsky to provide the revision level and date of publishing of the version of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that he is referring to ["Judges misinterpret Second Amendment," Opinion, March 10].
|MCT Illustration.
Chemerinsky argues that "the Supreme Court should make clear that even though the Second Amendment protects a right to have a gun in the home for the sake of security, there is no right to carry a concealed weapon in public."
All versions of the Second Amendment that I can find do not contain any words or terms like "protects," "carry" "concealed weapon" and "public."
How can the Supreme Court "make clear" that which is not written in the Second Amendment?
Mr. Chemerinsky, dean of the UCI School of Law, apparently has his own version of the U.S. Constitution and obviously has his own unique interpretation of it. Clearly, his misinterpretations and personal biases are not shared by the most liberal circuit court in the United States.
California's gun laws
FULLERTON, Robert Filacchione: Regarding carrying a concealed weapon, Mr. Chemerinsky states, "California law generally prohibits individuals from carrying concealed weapons. Such laws are common throughout the United States."
Actually, California is the oddball state in this regard, with a "may issue" policy in place. San Francisco bans conceal-carry practice, but many rural areas in California permit it. However, the vast majority of states in this country – more than 40 – will issue permits to allow concealed carry. So, this is a regular practice in these United States that Mr. Chemerinsky failed to acknowledge.
He also believes judges have been activists in allowing states to determine their own laws in this regard. I say, let the states make these decisions. The practice of federalism allows people to get up and leave one state to seek relief of overburdening regulations. Pushing this at the federal level reduces states' rights and minimizes citizens' rights.
When the Supreme Court ruled that abortion was legal, it provided little option for the pro-life position. Let's hope the Supreme Court leaves this issue alone. I have little confidence today in that august body.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Chris Costello: Mr. Chemerinsky fails to recognize that even a homeless person has constitutional rights.
If you take a moment to read the Statutes at Large, 37th Congress, 1st Session, page 304, the "exemption from distraint," you will come to find that Congress recognized a person's constitutional rights, to bear their arms and tools, even if they were homeless.
The militia argument towards arms, moreover, is also false and misleading, at best.

Experiment Optional #2: The Synthesis of Aspirin The natural world provides us with many of the medications in common use today. Taxol is the common name of a medication used in treating certain cancers; it is derived from the Yew tree. Most controlled substances, including heroin and cocaine, are extracted from plants. The deadly toxin associated with botulism, produced by bacteria, has even found a use in cosmetic surgery, although in a very diluted form. Salicylic acid, a compound found in willow bark, has long been known for its ability to reduce fever and suppress pain. Unfortunately, it is also tends to irritate and damage the upper digestive tract. A slight modification to its structure produces acetylsalicylic acid, which retains the benefits of the original compound with significantly less irritation. This popular medication goes by the common name Aspirin. Aspirin becomes salicylic acid in the lower digestive tract, where it is absorbed into the blood stream. O O C O O C O OH OH + C C + C H3C O CH3 HO CH3 OH O C CH3 salicylic acid acetic anhydride O aspirin (acetyl- acetic acid salicylic acid) Procedure 1. Fill a large beaker with tap water. Place the beaker on a hot plate and heat the water inside to boiling. You should carry out steps 2 to 5 while it is heating. At some point you should also cool about 75 mL of DI water with ice for use in steps 8 and 11. 2. Weigh a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask on the balance. Record this value on the report sheet. Remember, you should always write down all digits! 3. Add about 2 grams of salicylic acid to this flask, and reweigh. You can find the total mass of salicylic acid by subtraction. 4. In the hood, measure 5 mL of acetic anhydride into your small graduated cylinder. Then, slowly pour this into the Erlenmeyer flask from steps 2 and 3. 5. While still in the hood, add 10 drops of 85% phosphoric acid to this mixture (do not worry if you should accidentally add a few extra drops). Stir the mixture with a stirring rod. Page Optional #2-1 6. Place the flask in the hot water bath and stir the contents until all solids dissolve. Then, remove the flask from the bath and allow it to cool. 7. In the hood, slowly add 20 drops of DI water to the flask. 8. When the reaction is complete, pour in an additional 50 mL of ice-cold DI water. Then, place the flask in an ice bath (beaker with ice and some water) to cool for 10 minutes. 9. Slowly stir the contents. You should notice the formation of white, aspirin crystals. If not, gently scratch the inside of the flask with the glass stirring rod. This should induce crystals to grow. If this still does not work, ask your instructor to help you by seeding the mixture. 10. Setup a vacuum filtration according to your instructor's directions. Attach the side arm of the filter flask to the water aspirator (or an alternative vacuum source if your instructor suggests one). Refer to Figure 12-1 for the setup (of course, you will not have any liquid in your filter flask when you begin!). ring stand Büchner funnel with wet filter paper covering holes utility clamp tubing attached to water aspirator Figure 12-1: Vacuum Filtration 11. Wash the crystals with enough ice-cold water to just completely cover the crystals. Allow the water to drain into the same flask you used in the previous step. 12. Carefully scoop the crystals onto your watch glass. These crystals are primarily composed of aspirin. Page Optional #2-2 Tests for Purity 1. Place five test tubes in a rack and label them from 1 to 5. 2. Add about 3 mL of the 0.15% salicylic acid solution to test tube 1. 3. Add a few crystals of each of the following to the other test tubes #2: crushed commercial aspirin #3: crushed buffered aspirin (if available) #4: the aspirin you prepared in the first procedure #5: acetylsalicylic acid 4. Add 5 drops of 1% ferric chloride (FeCl3) solution to each test tube. A purple color indicates that there is salicylic acid present. The more acid there is in the test tube, the deeper the color. 5. Write down your observations on the report sheet. Page Optional #2-3 Page Optional #2-4 The Synthesis of Aspirin Name:________________________ Report Sheet Mass of Erlenmeyer Flask: ____________g Mass of Erlenmeyer Flask and Salicylic Acid:______________g Mass of Salicylic Acid:________________g Describe the appearance of the aspirin you have prepared.

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
At Anthology, the requisite catapultings include the incomparably joyous and hokey Peking Opera Blues (1986) and both Swordsman movies (1990, 1992). A period spy-thriller LP set on 78 rpm, Blues might be the most influential Hong Kong film everat least in Hong Kong, where Tsui's use of architecture, non-martial superheroics, and feminist force (this was most Westerners' first experience of Brigitte Lin) became de rigueur. Ching/Tsui's first Swordsman film was merely a fete of psychotic combat compared to its sequel, which involves Jet Li facing off against Lin's eunuch/demigod/hermaphrodite Asia the Invincible in a cyclone of scattered limbs, tentacle chiffon, and howling wind. Which sets you up for the lunacies of Green Snake (1993), a pasquinade of sexual absurdity centering on the unlikely romantic triangle between an aw-shucks monk and two millennium-old snake-demon sisters in human formone of them played by a vampy, gilded-lily Maggie Cheung. As usual, it moves so fast that the zippers, strings, and editing mismatches become part of the visual stream, which is itself one-upped by A Chinese Ghost Story II (1990), playing like an Orpheus myth jacked to a particle accelerator and littered with floating zombies.
This is paradigmatic Tsui-land: an irrational, dusty, gravitationally handicapped deathworld that's as unbelievable as it is undeniable, fraught with omens, curses, ghosts, demons, cults, and papier-mâché monsters. Never before or since have films been so plastically committed to their own mythos and outlaw energies. (To contemplate the movies' kinetic escalation of their simple folktale origins is to understand the torrential capacity of cinema.) But there are other, more recent Tsuis on view here, including the brooding masculinist behind The Blade (1995), a surprisingly earthbound redo of 1967's The One-Armed Swordsman that is as close to a Clint Eastwood revenge western as Tsui ever got.
Even odder, The Chinese Feast (1995) is an unexpectedly lavish contemporary food debauch, using a hoary let's-pull-the-gunslinger-out-of-retirement-and-save-the-orphanage flowchart to support restaurant slapstick on a Homeric scale, amid helpings of yogurt-marinated panda paw, underwater tofu sculpture, and three-minute-fresh monkey brains. Already the most effective actor in HK, Leslie Cheung becomes his own comic legend. In the last few years, Tsui's imagery has become more concrete and meticulously lit, and both The Blade and The Chinese Feast forfeit the fluorescent-blue lighting and high-wires for shadowy naturalism and a chilly sense of suffering.
Still, the retro's Cracker Jack prize has to be Tsui's second film, 1980's gracelessly titled We're Going to Eat You. Never before seen stateside (not, we're told, even in the Chinatowns), this penny-ante exploitation quickie can best be catalogued as a chop-socky lampoon version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. "If you don't eat people, they'll eat you!" sums up the moral code of Tsui's ludicrous stumblebum, which has cannibalistic villagers going after a secret agent and his cohorts in some semitropical hellhole. Fake blood flows like hose water, and gutbuckets of socioeconomic metaphors are wasted along the way. Speed was a condition of the industry even then, but while Eat You is Tsui-style breakneck, the man was still learning to fly.

Editor's NoteA departure for director John Carpenter, STARMAN is a gentle, simple film that won accolades from critics and applause from audiences. Jeff Bridges plays the title character, an alien that has come down to Earth on a peaceful scouting mission. When he takes the form of a recently widowed woman's dead husband he unintentionally involves her in his mission. The alien only has a few days to reach a rendezvous point where he will be picked up by his mothership. Along the way he must discover what he can about human beings and our civilization. He finds out plenty very quickly, as his relationship with the young widow grows very strong as they make their way to the rendezvous point. Meanwhile, the FBI is in hot pursuit after it discovers the discarded landing vehicle, and the alien's own health is deteriorating in Earth's foreign atmosphere. The story tells of the struggle for communication, the pain of letting go, and the search for understanding. Jeff Bridges gives an unforgettable performance as the gentle alien trying his best to cope with being a human. With STARMAN, Carpenter proves he is a master storyteller, not just of horror and science fiction, but of subtle, emotional drama as well.

I have a line on a re manufactured Yanmar 3GM30F. The info I have received is that the shop has replaced everything except the block. The price is $3900 and comes with a two year inclusive warranty.
I can't find a new 3GM30F or 2GM20F as these have been replaced in the Yanmar catalog with the 3YM20 and 3YM30 and I can't find a price for either of these engines.
For new I have found a Yanmar 3JH3-E that has 40HP but the weight is 100Kg more than the current engine. A couple Westerbeke 30B three's that weigh less than the current engine but output 27HP. A Volvo Penta D1-30 with 29HP that weighs just a little more.
I can't seem to track down an active owners group for my boat so comparing setups isn't going to be possible.

About Me
My name is pronounced "Shay-mus". It is an Irish name. I am an American photographer.
I accept all friend requests. This is Model Mayhem, after all, not Facebook.
I am an artist in pursuit of the timeless and beautiful. My goal is to create art that is imaginative, smart, and original... to create something that will still be on museum walls after we're dead.
My camera and computer are my paintbrushes, and my paint is the beauty of the natural world.
If you'd like to collaborate in order to create some art or update your portfolio, then contact me. I have some pretty spectacular ideas up my sleeve, and I am open to trade shoots with models who inspire me.
That said, I am often quite busy, and I have a million great photos that I've already shot that still need to be finished and published, so don't take it personally if I don't find the time to do a trade shoot with you. Paid work takes priority.
If you have work for me, contact me for a quote on how much a particular project will cost. I am available for freelance work in the fields of editorial, advertising, fashion, music, and fine art photography, and I am currently seeking representation.
I exhibit my work from time to time in Los Angeles and other art galleries throughout southern California. I'm looking forward to exhibiting in other areas in the future.
I retain the copyrights to my images. I am willing to travel if expenses are paid for. Party on.

Choctaw Indians
Choctaw (chŏk´tô), Native North Americans whose language belongs to the Muskogean branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock (see Native American languages). They formerly occupied central and S Mississippi with some outlying groups in Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana. Choctaw culture was similar to that of the Creek and Chickasaw, who were their enemies in repeated wars. The Choctaw economy was based on agriculture, and the Choctaw were perhaps the most competent farmers in the Southeast. Friendly toward the French colonists, the Choctaw were their allies in wars against other tribes. After being forced to cede their lands in Alabama and Mississippi, they moved (1832) to the Indian Territory in Oklahoma, where they became one of the Five Civilized Tribes. In 1990 there were over 85,000 Choctaw in the United States, with more than half living in Oklahoma.
See A. Debo, The Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Republic (3d ed. 1967); A. H. DeRosier, The Removal of the Choctaw Indians (1971); W. D. Baird, Peter Pitchlynn: Chief of the Choctaws (1972); C. K. Reeves, The Choctaw Before Removal (1985).

The easiest way is just not to have sex until you have been dating him for awhile. If he sticks around he likes you for something other than for sex. If he takes off...his loss, you don't need him anyway! By the way...they're all horn dogs. :)

Hey, well one way to find out if he's not just useing you for sex is if he's always wanting to do it like 24/7, then you should know that hes just in the relationship for sex and if you dont want that then make him wate for a long time befor you do anything with him besides kissing and huging and everything, and if he wates for you and wates untill you are ready to do anything sexual then he will wate and that would mean he cares and that hes not just in the relationship for sex....believe me thats the best way no matter if you want to do it or not, make him wate. I hope this advice helps,...Please rate.

answered Monday July 4 2005, 12:33 am:
Most teenage guys are horny, just a lot know how to hide it around girls..lol. I doubt, though, he'd get into a relationship just to use you. Most people don't bother with that effort, as they can get sex from elsewhere if they really want it. I guess you can't ever know someone's intentions, but he does deserve the benefit of the doubt, doesn't he? Unless there's a logical reason, assume that he really does like you and is not using you. You have no reason not to trust him.
Try getting one of your/his friends to ask what he thinks of you, and see how he answers. That'll give you a clear indication on where you stand with him, and whether he sees you as more than just a "peice of ass" (so to speak!)
Good luck!

It's fair to question the relevancy of a band from the 1970s performing today with just one original member.
For Lynyrd Skynyrd, that is part of the band's legend. It's been 33 years since lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and three other band members died in a plane crash and 23 years since his brother Johnny took up the vocals for the reunited group.
Tuesday night at the Marcus Amphitheater, 2010's Lynyrd Skynyrd offered a 90-minute set of rock 'n' roll, big guitars and lots of southern pride for a crowd that filled much of the venue's covered seating.
The seven-piece band (guitarist Gary Rossington is the sole founding member) opened the show with the 1970s' "Workin' for MCA" and "I Ain't the One" before Van Zant greeted the "Skynyrd Nation" and performed the new song of the same name. With the exception of one other track from the band's 2009 album "God & Guns," this show was a celebration of the band's roots.
With a deeper, more gravely voice than his older brother, Van Zant was a versatile front man during the slickly produced live show. He offered a sincere salute to the military before leading the crowd in singing "Simple Man" and roused the fans to dance as he waved a Confederate flag-adorned microphone stand during "Gimme Three Steps." An upbeat, boogie-woogie "Call Me the Breeze" featured keyboardist Peter Keys as the band's three guitarists danced at the front of the stage. A new, almost fierce adamancy carried the set-closing "Sweet Home Alabama."
Then, in a rare moment in today's cell phone-waving concert culture, a sea of people raised real lighters as they called for the 14-minute "Free Bird" encore that paid tribute to the band's deceased members on the video board. Throwing his microphone stand across the stage, Van Zant left the band's instrumentalists for a frenetic jam led by Rossington's wailing slide guitar.
In their hour-long set, .38 Special ran through much of the band's catalog of hits that started with the southern rock roots of their native Florida ("Wild-Eyed Southern Boys"), but quickly evolved into 1980s pop-rock that brought them radio and MTV fame ("If I'd Been the One"). Front men Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant (brother of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Johnny) shared vocals on the opening "Rockin' Into the Night." Barnes, a talented guitarist with a rich, effortless voice, carried "Back Where You Belong" and "Caught Up In You," which wrapped up a 10-song medley of hits.
A pair of hard rock trios - Milwaukee's Black Frog and South Carolina's DB Bryant - opened the show with 45-minute sets.

Bankrate.com shares tips on what to expect in the housing market during the first quarter of 2014.
For those of us without a crystal ball tuned in to the housing market, it's tricky to know whether the time is right to buy, sell or rent a home. Luckily, Bankrate.com has some tips on what to expect heading into the first quarter of 2014.
Holden Lewis, Assistant Managing Editor, Bankrate.com:
"It continues to be a seller's market but it's not as extreme as it used to be, say nine or 12 months ago. So, it's not horrible to be a buyer, but you still have a little bit of strength if you're a seller."
Expect the cost of mortgages to rise. First, rates are expected to creep up as the Federal Reserve scales back its bond-purchasing stimulus program. Second, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are instituting higher mortgage fees. Although costs are going to rise, it will be gradual. For those looking to buy in the short term, you'll not only enjoy lower fees and rates than later in the year, you're also likely to find less competition, which means fewer bidding wars.
Some new rules are also coming into effect this quarter when it comes to loan sizes and lending standards.
"They have to do with things like the amount of money you can borrow with it still being a regular conforming loan instead of a jumbo loan. In about 650 counties, that limit from a jumbo to a conforming, it went down. So, essentially that means that there's more people who are going to have to get jumbo loans. That's not a real big deal right now, because jumbo mortgage rates are about the same as conforming. Historically, they may be a quarter of a percentage point higher. There's a lot of rules that require lenders to make sure you can repay that mortgage. And so, there's just going to be more hoops to jump through, starting this year."
For renters, the more expensive cost of homeownership is bad news. Many Americans may choose to rent instead of buy. The prices of rent is already far outpacing inflation and with more renters being pushed into the market, demand is continuing to grow, especially for single-family homes.

CLEMSON — When more than 50 leaders of Fortune 500 companies, national education associations and major colleges and universities convene to discuss how business and higher education can collaborate on workforce development and economic competitiveness, Clemson University will — literally — have a seat at the table.
Clemson President James P. "Jim" Clements is one of approximately 30 higher education leaders and more than two dozen senior business executives invited to participate in the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) in Washington, D.C., June 19-20.
The BHEF is the nation's oldest organization of senior business and higher education executives, committed to improving workforce competencies and career-readiness — particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education — and supporting educational innovations that enhance critical thinking, analytical reasoning and the ability to work in multicultural teams.
"This represents an opportunity to hear from leaders of companies who are hiring our graduates, learn about best practices at other institutions and also to showcase the innovative programs we have here at Clemson," Clements said. "Clemson has a great track record of listening to and working with business and industry. Our goal at this meeting is to build on that solid foundation and open as many doors as possible to benefit Clemson students and faculty."
In addition to his membership on the BHEF, Clements serves as chairman-elect of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, chairman of the American Council on Education's Commission on Leadership, member of the Council on Competitiveness, and was the only university president to serve on the U.S. Department of Commerce Innovation Advisory Board.
