Comes with valve (which you will need) and all plumbing which makes a hassle free install. great By kevin on 1/19/2014 kevin would recommend this product to a friend this is a great reactor i use it for my gfo simple to setup and use Cheap price, cheap product By Dan on 1/18/2014 Dan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Bought 2 of these pumps and reactors to run GFO in 2 of my 4 tanks. As of start up both pumps were working fine. Within 24 hours one of the pumps already crapped out. I had to go to my LFS and I grabbed a marine land pump which is working great. The 2nd pump yes is still working, but its loud and vibrates. I've tried a few different location installs in my sump but its still noticeably loud. And I mean noticeable. The reactor is great though. Price is great on the reactors. They are sturdy and easy to mount. I love BRS but please get rid of these garbage pumps. I'd rather spend a little more money for a quality pump that doesn't break within a day or vibrate my whole tank sump and stand Awesome reactor kit By Vince on 1/14/2014 Vince would recommend this product to a friend I bought this single reactor kit for my 29 Biocube. I had some issues opening up the media canister but after a quick call to customer service I was told to pry one of the tabs with a flat head screw driver and it popped it right off! Another consideration is the amount of tubing included is perfect if you are mounting this in a sump, if you do not have a sump I recommend getting extra tubing to reach your tank, I ended up getting around 12 feet to run the reactor in my BC29 stand make sure you get the MUR-LOK brand tubing from this site or you WILL get leaks! Do not try to use large airline tubing it WILL leak, I also recommend the black colored tubing for added looks. I suggest a the Cobalt MJ1200 pump filters Good quality, but wasn't what I was looking for... By Nathan on 1/13/2014 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend I was hoping this reactor would be more flexible and able to move around easier. Unfortunately, the hoses are super stiff and the quick connect system doesn't allow for easily swapping out standard hoses with more flexible hoses. The build quality is great though! No Complaints By Dustin on 1/10/2014 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend Better than the competition! No leaks, easy to put together. Solid construction. I have no complaints at all. I would order again and recommend to anyone. real nice reactor By Theodore on 1/5/2014 Theodore would recommend this product to a friend Easy to set up and easy to refill. Along with high capacity gfo it took my phosphates from .5 to undetectable with salifert test kit. Works great for the price By Stephen on 1/1/2014 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend I added one of these running GFO to my aquarium about a year ago when I couldn't get rid of my hair algae. I installed it running off of a manifold from my main pump. The next day almost all of the hair algae was gone! Amazing! I run this reactor all the time and love it. The only draw back is that the flow doesn't stay consistent enough to keep the media bubbling properly at the top. Every day I boost it just a bit to get rid of any channeling and settle it back down to a good flow. Next morning, the GFO isn't moving at all. For the price and for what it does I don't really mind the thirty seconds it take me to reset it. Some days I forget, some days I don't. Either way it has kept my algae away and for that I love it. A must have for a saltwater tank By butterflyx8i8x on 12/30/2013 butterflyx8i8x would recommend this product to a friend I love this product!!! I was having trouble with lots of algae in the tank. It's been up for a week now and I'm dealing with less algae in my tank. Works really good. Great product By brian on 12/19/2013 brian would recommend this product to a friend Ordered this unit for corbon/gfo mix unit works perfectly easy to install and change media Great product and well built By Quinnchero on 12/18/2013 Quinnchero would recommend this product to a friend This is one of those no brainer purchases for me. You cannot beat the amount of benefit to water quality compared to the price you pay. Running GFO only, this reactor runs circles around anything else even remotely close to this price range, carbon is slightly less successful. The whole kit gives you literally everything you need out of the box to be up and running in minutes, with results that will make you wonder why you waited so long. Take my advice on this side note though: BRS brand GFO is way too dusty and a majority of the product is wasted, thus actually costing you way more than a higher end brand. excellent By grisel on 12/5/2013 grisel would recommend this product to a friend easy to intalls good price bulk reef thank you for the videos. facil de instalar y buen precio y facil bulk reef graciaspor los videos facil para seguir intruciones .

Hey bloggers,
I got a bone to pick with WWE. I'm usually not one to lose my cool on things related to TV entertainment and I usually tolerate a lot of the crap most fans hate. However, one thing that's been frustrating me is what seems to be WWE's obssession of giving us the same damn matches over and over again. And not just the same matches; its the same match, with the same outcome,

So that's what an episode of Raw looks like when its central focus isn't on the, now injured, WWE Champion CM Punk.
I have to say that after last week I was expecting something a little bigger than a riot to close the final Raw heading into TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs. I was hoping The Shield would one-up their opponents for Sunday, but with Punk injured WWE had to shed light on more
Your all probably wondering why i'm writing an annual review of the WWE when we still have one major PPV to go and a certain briefcase still in hand. The reason is I feel it's the way WWE go about things (see Greatest Pay Per View Matches 2012) so I thought i'd go by that. Instead of sub-heading by Month i'm going to do it via Pay Per View. I feel it will have a more familiar feel to it. So here we

Customer Reviews for Kitchen Blindsgalore Opaque / Blackout Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Exactly what we wanted!"
By customer from California
We wanted a blackout shade for our movie room - contacted Blindsgalore and customer service was extremely helpful in directing us to the perfect shade for our requirements - once the shade arrived installation was easy - we did have one glitch in the operation, however, customer service came through once again and problem solved! Would definitely purchase through Blindsgalore in the future!View this product
"Excellent Replacement"
By MaggieLue from San Antonio, TX
Replaced another brand of blackout, top-down blinds with these - the two sets of blinds were about the same price, but I can't believe the difference in quality! My new blinds are very noticeably better made, and of much, much better quality materials. Additionally, the old blinds took almost two hours, and a lot of frustration to install - my Blinds Galore set went up easily and quickly in less than 10 mints.View this product

TWO thirds of the red kites released in Grizedale Forest last summer have survived the harsh winter.
Wildlife rangers believe that around 20 of the 30 birds released in the Forestry Commission's three-year re-introduction programme made it through the winter and are still in Cumbria, or nearby counties. Between five and eight of the birds are believed to be living around Grizedale and the Rusland Valley, with another three to five inhabiting the Kirkby Moor area near Ulverston.
Four more Grizedale red kites have been spotted by RSPB experts at feeding stations in Dumfries and Galloway – the furthest known movement is by the bird tagged as number four, which has flown 120km north west into Scotland.
"The birds are doing pretty much exactly as we expected, which is very encouraging," said Iain Yoxall, Forestry Commission wildlife ranger. "We are more confident that these birds will make it to adults now they have made it through a harsh winter. Sadly we lost a few birds but that is natural and why we have to release the numbers that we did."
The 30 red kites released from a secret location in Grizedale Forest in August last year had coloured tags on each wing. An orange tag on their left wing shows they are from Grizedale, and blue tags on their right wings indicate that they were released in 2010. Some birds were also fitted with radio transmitters to help with monitoring.
Mr Yoxall, who has been following the birds' movements around Cumbria, said the help he has received from the public had been invaluable. "I have been radio tracking the birds but sightings from members of the public have been a fantastic help and greatly appreciated. This has been very important because it helps us find the birds and backs up our radio tracking results to give us a more robust picture of their movements. We hope that the public will continue letting us know when and where they make sightings of the red kites."
This year's birds will hatch in May and are likely to be released into Grizedale Forest in August. The red kites being introduced into Grizedale are the product of a reintroduction programme that took place in Northamptonshire in the 1980s.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. But they managed to cling on in Wales, and their numbers recovered slowly thanks to the actions of local conservationists

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

BF man denies shooting chargeBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | February 21,2013BRATTLEBORO A Bellows Falls man was charged with firing seven shots into the ground during a dispute over the weekend in Bellows Falls involving three women.
Shadow Smith, 37, pleaded innocent Tuesday to a charge of reckless endangerment. Judge Karen Carroll failed to find probable cause to support a second, more serious charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Smith was also arrested as he came to Brattleboro criminal court Tuesday for carrying a pocket knife, for violating earlier conditions of release that he not carry a weapon. He was released on additional conditions, a court officer said.
According to police affidavits filed in court, a dispatcher at the Bellows Falls Police Department heard several shots in the area of Tuttle Street late Feb. 15. The street is near the police station.
Police responded to the scene at 14 Tuttle St. and arrested Smith and confiscated a Glock 9 mm handgun.
Smith told police that he fired his handgun into the ground in an attempt to break up a fight involving Dani-Rae Hutchins, 23, Kalenda Dixon, 37, and Alicia Monty, 21, all of Bellows Falls. Monty told police she was just trying to break up a fight between Hutchins and Dixon. Police said that Dixon, Monty and Westyn Wright, 33, had gone to confront Hutchins about a fight she had earlier with Dixons daughter.
Dixon, Wright and Monty all had been drinking and were over the legal limit for driving, police said. Dixon was .111, Wright, .095, and Monty a .135, according to court records. Hutchins was tested and shown not to be drinking.
Before police arrived, Wright tackled Smith and at that point Smith pulled the gun out of his pocket and fired several shots into the ground at his feet, police said.
Wright told police he felt threatened by Smith and his gun, and he also told police that his life was in danger. Smith told police that he also felt his life was in danger from Wright.
Wright said that he stood in front of Smith due to the fact that Smith was aiming the gun towards his fiance, Police Officer Mario Checchi wrote.
Smith said he was honestly scared and that he did not know what to do, Checchi wrote. Smith said that he did not have anything to drink, the officer added, and Smith said he hoped the sound of the gunshots would attract police attention, since the station was nearby.
Hutchins told police she had been assaulted by Dixon and Wright, and said what do you expect from around this house when police mentioned the gunshots.

Terzani Tresor 2 Light Wall Sconce
About the Designer
Jean-Francois Crochet
I just finished two show rooms in Moscow and I'm working on two villas. I love void and light, but also: a pot on the stove, the wine Bourgogne, kids, women, I'm in love with Taben. I was born in 1949, a good year! I managed to attend the fine and decorative arts school in Paris for few years. I have no memory, but i worry about yours...this is why I thought about rust some years ago. I love fashion, obviously, but I'm "too architectonic". I came across people who put me to work. I designed several fashion boutiques in the 60's "La Gaminerie-Paris", it was still day time. At night I also designed several night clubs: "Le Tiffany", "La nuit des Rois", "Le club Alexandre" in Montreal. I needed to eat well after all....and so I also designed several restaurants and bars: "Le cafe Francais," in Paris Bastille. Then in 1985 I laid on the beach right next to Sergio Terzani, three tumbles later I was working in his workshop. I believed I designed lamps, I believed I had memory, I got lost in the past to come back to the light with "Antinea...Bara Baara....Mademoiselle....Tresor..."

About the ManufacturerWorking to redefine the way luxury lighting is conceived and made, Terzani has been combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern technology since it was founded in Florence in 1972. Sergio Terzani's original vision was to create handmade lighting that blurs the lines between art, luxury and design. The resulting pieces are sculptural and beautiful, upholding longstanding traditions of metal and glass work, with a meticulous eye for design detail. Sergio's son, Nicolas Terzani, joined the company as CEO and, with input from his father, has continued to innovate with the creation of the Terzani Lab, where new lighting ideas can be developed and tested. While many of the designs are created in-house by Terzani's experienced design team, they also collaborate with renowned designers like Dodo Arlsan, Nigel Coates, Maurizio Galante and Christian Lava, Studio 14 and Luca Martorano + Mattia Albicini.

Ground glass is melted during the firing process before it pools into the colored reservoirs on the stoneware form. Each piece is finished with an oxide, rubbed into the textured surface and lightly waxed after firing.

UNCW Ranked on Kiplinger's '100 Best Values' Listing for 2013
Friday, December 28, 2012
The University of North Carolina Wilmington has been named to Kiplinger's Personal Finance's list of 100 "Best Values" in public colleges for 2013.
UNCW is one of five UNC system schools to earn a spot on the list, which recognizes four-year institutions that combine outstanding education with economic value. Kiplinger's has rated UNCW in the top five public universities in N.C. since 2003. UNCW is ranked 32nd nationally.
Kiplinger's assesses quality according to a number of measurable standards, including the admission rate, the percentage of students who return for sophomore year, the student-faculty ratio and the four-year graduation rate. Cost criteria include low sticker prices, abundant financial aid and low average debt at graduation. Many schools have appeared on the list multiple times, including UNCW, a testament to the consistent value these colleges provide.
The annual public school rankings appear in Kiplinger's February 2013 issue—on newsstands January 1, 2013—and online now at: www.kiplinger.com/links/college. Web visitors will find special features, including an FAQ about how the public colleges are ranked, a slide show of the top ten schools, and a tool that lets readers sort by in-state and out-of-state cost, average debt at graduation, and admission rate. In addition, Kiplinger's top 200 private colleges and universities of 2012-13—announced in November 2012—are featured in the Best College Values report.

UNCW offices are closed through Jan. 1, 2013. For assistance, contact Janine Iamunno, Executive Director, Office of University Relations, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Although many buyers and editors arrived late due to inclement weather, not even a blizzard could stop Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this year. This season marks the event's sixth time at Lincoln Center, where models dressed in looks fresh from the drawing board are hitting the catwalk.
Thousands of fashion editors, buyers, and industry insiders are visiting the Big Apple to see more than 90 of fashion's most respected and emerging designers present their collections for the fall season. Fashion trend forecaster WGSN expects velvet, leather, ultra wide-leg trousers, and deep-V cuts to be especially popular in designers' collections this season.
In addition to critiquing the newest looks, fashion insiders paid close attention to New York's biggest winter storm of the season so far as many swapped stilettos for snow boots. To prepare, IMG arranged for additional crew to help with snow and ice removal, and salt maintenance, along with increasing interior heating and adding an extra layer of tent for protection.
Fashion Week attendees Drew and Lauren Zalkind originally planned to drive all the way from Boston, but had to switch to traveling by train once the roads became dangerous on Friday. The couple came down for the latter's surprise 50th birthday celebration.
"We were worried that we weren't even going to make it and have to change all of our plans, and this is a special birthday for me," she said. "We were running away from the weather this morning to get down here as fast as we could."
This season marked the first time that event organizer IMG Fashion has live-streamed all of the shows online, reflecting the increasing focus on technology during Fashion Week. Several designers also incorporated social media prominently, such as Vivienne Tam's placement of QR codes on clothing or Kenneth Cole's tweeting runway models.

MAD - we'd be thrilled to have you on board as an elf.
Don't worry about the L-space side of things so far as the question setting's concerned as we really need to have that nailed before we even get to Birmingham to have a loose script put together for our Stephen Fry bod who'll be either Pat Harkin or Chris Boote (it was initially Pat but as he wasn't given the choice exactly Chris may duke it out with him as to which of them gets to be Alan instead )
There's going to be a cut off point for this to be talked about on the forums (here and the CI's) as Eelco who's head of programming wants to keep things like the guest panellists IDs and other bits and bobs out of view so it's all a nice surprise on the night. What will happen is we'll likely get a mailgroup set up for the Elves (and whoever's Stephen as he has to ask the questions) so we can talk about theming and research in a private huddle and makes lists of things that need to be in place for the tech guys in advance of the convention so that as little as possible is left to do at the Hilton. This is why people who aren't going can also help out if they want, as most of the leg and brain work will be done over the next weeks and organised with Ops and the techies before we even get there.
I'll PM you in a mo and let you know what might be involved - so far I have mC, Sjoerd and WWD h'elfing me...

A year ago Monday, a U-28 plane manned by a crew from Hurlburt Field crashed near a base in Djbouti, Africa, on the first flight of their deployment.
The four young Special Operations airmen onboard were killed.
It wasn't long before word made it home and changed the lives of hundreds of friends, family members and fellow airmen forever.
"This is the single worst thing that I could have ever imagined," said Ashley Whitlock, wife of Capt. Nick Whitlock, who was killed at the age of 29.
That sentiment was echoed by many who spoke recently about Whitlock, Capt. Ryan Hall, 1st Lt. Justin Wilkens and Senior Airman Julian Scholten. Some found it too hard to speak about at all.
"It's certainly been difficult," said Capt. Megan Galus.
Galus is a pilot with the 34th Special Operations Squadron, the same unit Whitlock and Wilkens served with.
"We're a close-knit community, so it affects everybody," she said.
Hall, 30, was serving with the 319th Special Operations Squadron. He had been a pilot at Hurlburt since 2007 and entered the Air Force in 2004 after graduating from the Citadel.
He had more than 1,300 combat flight hours in both the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns.
Whitlock joined in 2006. He wanted to be a pilot and started looking at his options, including joining the Air Force Reserve.
"I laughed when he started looking at reserve options because it was not Nick's style to do anything halfway," Ashley said. "I knew it was a matter of time before he decided to become active Air Force."
Ashley and her husband's fellow airmen and friends described him as having a knack for connecting with people and an infectious laugh.
"You couldn't help but have a good time with him," she said.
Wilkens, a 26-year-old combat systems controller, had only been at Hurlburt since April 2011, but he showed great professionalism and promise for a successful career, Galus said.
"He was one of the younger members of the unit, but though he was young he was very competent and eager to learn," she said. "He was going to do really well in the unit."
Fellow airmen remember his deep voice and a laugh that could be heard down the hall when someone told a joke.
Scholten, 26, was a mission systems operator on his third deployment with the 25th Intelligence Squadron. He had more than 900 combat hours in six air frames.
He had been at Hurlburt since 2009.
"He displayed maturity beyond his years, and potential far above his rank," said Chief Master Sgt. Edward Golombeski, superintendent of Scholten's squadron. "He consistently strove to become a better operator and earned a reputation as one of the most patient and insightful teachers in the squadron."
He was hand-picked by his commander to become one of the unit's first operators to enter flight instructor training.
He had a warm smile, caring nature and played on the unit's football, basketball and softball teams, as well as in the bowling league, Golombeski said.
Those at Hurlburt who were close to the men will hold a small, private service Monday to mark the anniversary. They will have a moment of silence at 10:19 a.m., the reported time the plane crashed.
Capt. Josh Stinson, with the 34th Special Operations Squadron, was at Hurlburt when he found out about the crash and that his closest friend in the squadron, Whitlock, had died.
He said he didn't sleep for a week.
"Physically and emotionally I was devastated for awhile," he said. "There were the ceremonies, the memorials, the funerals. One way or another we made it through that process."
After, another type of grief set in.
"Once the initial sting wears off, it becomes the norm that he's gone," he said. "Frankly, it just becomes really lonely."
The friend he wants to talk to about things in his life is no longer there.
Ashley Whitlock said all her plans were upended when she found out her husband had died.
"We were just starting our lives together," she said.
But she's gotten a tremendous amount of support from friends, family and the men and women in her husband's squadron who visit her often, she said.
"That's been my saving grace."
She also has started the Captain Nicholas Schade Whitlock Foundation to provide scholarships to students who attended his high school in Newnan, Ga., and for students at Mercer College, where he got his undergraduate degree.
"To have something positive to focus on and to keep Nick's memory alive … I think that's been really important. Plus, it gives us the opportunity to do something good for somebody else," Ashley Whitlock said.
Whitlock's missions were classified for most of the time they had known each other, so Ashley said she didn't always know what Nick was doing when he was deployed.
She said she's learned some more details about what happened before the crash, but doesn't think she will ever know everything.
She does know that her husband believed in what he was doing.
"We didn't talk about specifics, but every time he went to leave he would say that what he was doing was worthwhile, the mission was worthwhile," she said. "He loved the men and women he worked with and he was doing what he thought he should be."
Stinson said now he takes comfort reflecting on the time he did have with Whitlock.
"At the end of the day, you're just clinging to the good memories and the positive attributes that he gave to everybody," he said. "Remembering those and enjoying the memories you have, that's really all you can do."

Very interesting post and sweet of you guys to let them stay and develop. We've been learning and playing with butterflies/moths, too! Am finishing up a post to wrap up soon. 'Tis the season - LOL! Happy hatching!

Your post on scotch broom makes me think of the big bushes outside our home in Carmichael where I grew up. We loved touching it as we walked down to the river, and I have missed it here on the East Coast. I was not aware that you could dye with it. I will have to remember that when I come back for a visit.

Interesting post!
We have been captivated by moths we have found throughout the summer.
It is amazing how many living things we may not know much about until experiencing them in nature.
It is certainly wonderful to be learning at home alongside the kids! I just noticed all of your blogs, you are an unbelievably talented family! I appreciate your recent comment on my post, I found it very interesting to hear what you have studied!

Interesting - i have always been told that scotch broom is an invasive here, esp in disturbed areas (as in, where logging takes place). interesting to know something likes to eat it.
i think it's just wonderful that instead of acting immediately (ack, caterpillars!), you sat back, observed, and made it a learning experience for the family. very cool.
also, i never knew it could be used for dying fiber. Thanks for the informative post!

How wonderful to participate in the natural order of things rather than to intrude and interrupt.
Happy to have found you. We are home-learners too and our meadow is full of milkweed we preserve for the monarchs.

LOL! Love flower meadow, it started playing and I perked up thinking I heard a new type of bird out our windows!
Love this post. I love learning about new caterpillars. They can be so hard to identify......

Also in the 'fridge is some Paulaner Oktoberfest Marzen Amber, Augustijn ale and its Van Steenberge brethren, St. Bernard Bornem (dubel and tripel). I think there might be a 4-pack left in the back of KoningsHoeven blonde ale, too.
While, generally, I prefer the ambers, the Augustijn ale is also quite enjoyable.
I'm not exactly a beer-lover, by the way, having come to it only within the last 18 months or so. But, I DO enjoy it when I want something cold, but not sweet, and have found enough styles/brands that I like (and plenty that I don't, too!) to warrant keeping some around.

You know, I've heard many positive remarks about this beer, including from Gary G. (gillmang), and yet my eye always seems distracted by another bottling about the time I start to reach for it. I suspect it might find its way my way pretty soon.

Why I Teach
My students are at the center of all of my teaching. Issues of diversity and equity are also equally central to my approach. To better prepare teachers for increasingly diverse settings, I help them explore the multiple ways that race, class, gender and sexual identity influence their work and shape the experiences of future learners.
I also teach because of the tremendous impact it has had on my own life. I have discovered that I am a better person when I am working with my students.

The film, which made the cover of Time Magazine, was released on July 16, 1999 to a mixed critical reaction.
The day after the party, Alice and Bill smoke marijuana and talk about their encounters at the party. The conversation escalates and Alice confesses to Bill her feelings concerning a naval officer she saw while they were vacationing in Cape Cod. Because of Bill's self-assurance, out of spite she admits that she was willing to abandon her life and her future for one night with the officer. Shocked by this revelation, Bill suddenly receives a telephone call summoning him to a deceased patient's home. Bill goes to the apartment of the patient and the daughter, Marion (Marie Richardson), says she wants to give up her life to be with Bill. Bill resists her request and departs once Marion's boyfriend Carl arrives.
While wandering the streets, a group of rowdy men, taking him for a gay man, taunt him and rudely walk into him. Soon afterwards, a female prostitute named Domino (Vinessa Shaw) approaches Bill on the street and solicits him. Bill accepts, but a phone call from Alice cuts their business short after a brief kiss. Bill insists on paying anyway.
He happens upon a sign outside the jazz club where Nick is the featured piano player. As the two discuss things, Nick describes a party he played at the night before and at which he is to play again tonight. His interest piqued, Bill coerces Nick into divulging the secret party's requirements: a black robe with a hood, and a mask. He also learns the location and more importantly, the password: Fidelio.
Bill goes to the costume shop of an old friend only to find it has a new owner, Mr. Milich (Rade Šerbedžija). He bribes Milich to get him a costume immediately. Another sexually charged situation involving Milich's teenage daughter (Leelee Sobieski) and two Japanese men follows.
Afterward, Bill takes a cab to the party in a foreboding mansion on Long Island. What he finds inside is a hierogamy-inspired sexual ritual (orgy) involving beautiful women clad only in masks and G-strings and led by an ominous man dressed and masked in red (Leon Vitali). Men (and women) watch, masked and clad in black robes, reminiscent of a Venetian Carnival. During the ritual, Nick plays the organ blindfolded. As the women rise from a circle surrounding a priest-like figure, they select men from the audience. One of the masked men in the audience stares directly at Bill for a short amount of time, and a mysterious woman standing next to the former later on selects Bill and informs him that he is in great danger, and urges him to leave immediately, but he refuses.
He is soon discovered as an outsider and forced to remove his mask, revealing his identity in the presence of the entire assembly. The red-robed master of ceremonies demands that he disrobe, but his apparently pending "punishment" is "redeemed" by the same mysterious woman (Abigail Good) who had tried to warn him earlier. Bill is threatened to remain quiet about what he saw or suffer dire consequences, then is released and returns home.
When Bill arrives home, he finds Alice laughing in her sleep. After waking her, she tells him of her horrible dream. She was having sex with a number of other men, and she knew that Bill was watching, and so she laughed at him.
The following day, Bill decides to investigate what happened the previous night. He goes to the hotel at which Nick was staying and finds out from the front desk clerk that Nick has apparently been brutalized for telling Bill about the party and password, and is now gone. He then returns to the mansion, but is warned off. Bill returns the costume to the shop from which he rented it, and the owner of the costume shop offers his daughter to Bill as a prostitute. Bill goes to Domino's apartment where he learns from her roommate that Domino received results of a blood test, which said she was HIV positive. Additionally, Amanda Curran, the young woman who "redeemed" Bill, is dead, ostensibly of a drug overdose behind a locked apartment door. Bill goes to the morgue and learns this woman is actually Mandy, whom Bill had helped to revive at Ziegler's Christmas party. He is unable to establish definitively that the woman did indeed die simply of a drug overdose. Bill is then called to Victor Ziegler's home, where the millionaire claims that he was one of those present at the ritual the previous night and that nothing further was done; according to him, Amanda was a drug-addicted prostitute and Nick was allowed to leave without further punishment. Both here and in the orgy scene it is implied, though never said explicitly, that Ziegler was indeed the masked man staring at Bill and that he summoned Amanda to "redeem" his friend. No conclusive evidence is presented, however, concerning the actual fate of both Amanda and Nick, and both Bill and the audience are left to decide between the explanation given to him or a (possibly double) murder. Ziegler does warn Bill against investigating further, as some of the masked participants are said to be extremely powerful members of society.
Bill returns home later to Alice and finds that the mask he wore to the party is lying on the pillow next to her. He breaks down crying, waking Alice before confessing to her about his journey. While Christmas shopping later that morning, Alice shows that she has come to terms with Bill's actions by accepting that one night does not reflect his entire persona. Finally, Alice suggests that they need to do one very important thing soon: "Fuck."
In a special edition of the television show Roger Ebert & the Movies, director Martin Scorsese named Eyes Wide Shut his fourth favorite film of the 1990s. For the introduction to Michel Ciment's Kubrick: The Definitive Edition, Scorsese wrote: "When Eyes Wide Shut came out a few months after Stanley Kubrick's death in 1999, it was severely misunderstood, which came as no surprise. If you go back and look at the contemporary reactions to any Kubrick picture (except the earliest ones), you'll see that all his films were initially misunderstood. Then, after five or ten years came the realization that 2001 or Barry Lyndon or The Shining was like nothing else before or since.
People who knew the director well, however, claim otherwise. Jan Harlan, Kubrick's brother-in-law and executive producer, reported that Kubrick was "very happy" with the film. According to Todd Field, Kubrick's friend and an actor in Eyes Wide Shut, Ermey's claims are slanderous. Field's response appeared in an October 26, 2006 interview with Slashfilm.com:
The polite thing would be to say 'No comment'. But the truth is that... let's put it this way, you've never seen two actors more completely subservient and prostrate themselves at the feet of a director. Stanley was absolutely thrilled with the film. He was still working on the film when he died. And he probably died because he finally relaxed. It was one of the happiest weekends of his life, right before he died, after he had shown the first cut to Terry, Tom and Nicole. He would have kept working on it, like he did on all of his films. But I know that from people around him personally, my partner who was his assistant for thirty years. And I thought about R. Lee Ermey for In the Bedroom. And I talked to Stanley a lot about that film, and all I can say is Stanley was adamant that I shouldn't work with him for all kinds of reasons that I won't get into because there is no reason to do that to anyone, even if they are saying slanderous things that I know are completely untrue.
The version released in Europe and Australia featured the orgy scene intact (theatrical and DVD release) with ratings mostly for people of 16 (Europe, in Germany) and 18+ (Australia) years of age. In New Zealand and in Europe, the uncensored version has been shown on public television without controversy. In Australia, it was broadcast on public television (on Network Ten) with the alterations in the American version for people of 15 years of age and older, blurring out, and cutting the images of explicit sexuality.
Roger Ebert has been widely misquoted as calling the standard North American R-rated version the "Austin Powers" version of "Eyes Wide Shut". This is presumably in reference to the two scenes in the first Austin Powers movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery in which through clever camera angles and unbelievable coincidences body parts are blocked from view in a comical way. In fact, Roger Ebert saw a very rough early draft of the altered orgy scene which was ultimately not used. It is this never-released version that he called the "Austin Powers" version, not the final R-rated version released in North America. Nonetheless many other discussions of the film have misquoted Ebert as saying the latter.
When Warner did not immediately concede, the American Hindus Against Defamation threatened to protest. Eventually, Warner Brothers came to an agreement with the Hindu community of Great Britain and edited the recitation of the passage out of the scene, replacing it with a different chant of similar dramatic tone. These changes were not made in the North American version.
The scene in which Kidman dances naked in front of a mirror has been zoomed in on DVD copies after Tom Cruise enters the room.
The earliest American DVD release of the uncut version states on the box cover that it includes both the R-rated and unrated editions; however only the unrated edition is actually on the DVD.

After last year's Memphis Super Chevy Show, we weren't sure what to expect. With such a great turnout of cars and racers for the event along with a jam packed swap meet full of cool stuff, we wondered: Could the show at Memphis International Raceway be larger?
Do Fords break down?
By noon Friday, the track was hopping with activity as racers began pulling in for Friday's test 'n' tune session. And despite half the swap meet area looking like a mud bog because of torrential rains earlier that week, the swap meet vendors were coming out in force too. Saturday the day dawned with blue skies, cool but perfect temps, and cars backed up in both directions at the spectator and pit entrance with people anxious to come and watch all the great Chevy action taking place. Ultimately, there were more show cars, more race cars and more spectators—more, more, and more!
After such a stellar turnout, we can only imagine how much bigger it'll get next year!

McDowell "If you look at the history of Mugler it was always strong, it didn't care how much it offended...we don't see enough offence now"
Shaun Cole "As a world we're becoming less formalised, the attraction to western dress was the suit & patriarchal power, now its opening up"
"This is the first look in the vein of what I'd expect from Mugler...alot of them have been very restrained, commercial and lost the spirit"
Colin McDowell "Do you necessarily want a man's shoulders to look smaller and a man's torso to look bigger with that balance of colour?"
What makes a fab show is a combination of things, setup,location, H&M, casting of models n clothes ofcourse! Mugler nailed it all @GQ_India
@EllieCumming "The fact that it's pink and it's a suit is what sets it as Mugler" http://t.co/3ces2uPK

Ashley Smith "The sharpness of tailoring in this blue suit is slightly more what one would expect in a Mugler show" http://t.co/3ces2uPK
They are throwing around the name Jim Morrison in the Mugler discussion and that excites me.
"This idea of the fashion show as a spectacle is certainly better for women...men like to be acknowledged but not take to much of a risk"

PANAMA CITY — Rocking back and forth in his office chair, the Bay District safety and security chief watched the day-to-day activities at four different schools on a single monitor.
"We are very successful in seeing what's going on on campus," Mike Jones said, noting more cameras were being added. "I think (it's) going to make Bay County people, visitors and parents (who come) to our campuses feel a little bit more safe."
Many school districts across the country have undertaken efforts to make campuses safer after a gunman shot and killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., last year. Bay District Schools is increasing technology to beef up campus safety and security this year, one of the recommendations made this summer by the district's Task Force for School Safety and Security.
"Sandy Hook shook all of us up," Bill Husfelt, superintendent of schools, said of the Newtown shooting.
The superintendent said a local resident contacted him after the Sandy Hook incident with concerns about the district's approach to campus security, and "the task force was formed from that point."
The 38-member task force convened over a three-month period, beginning in January.
They recommended four goals: increase school safety and security, improve communication between agencies and district employees, improve emergency training for personnel, and provide more support and assistance to staff.
Among steps the district took were upgrading its camera surveillance system, adding security fencing to schools and hiring a deputy chief of safety and security to work with Jones.
According to the report, task force members also saw a need for more school resource deputies. However, funding has been a roadblock. Jones estimated it would cost about $4 million to put in one school resource deputy at every school.
For the upcoming year the district has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in beefing up security, including $105,000 on campus security cameras, $20,000 on security fencing, $258,436 on cameras for buses and $83,394 on global positioning satellite systems for buses, officials said.
But, with eyes virtually everywhere at the district's more than 40 schools, Jones, a retired investigator for the Panama City Police Department, said he thinks campuses still will remain relatively safe.
In addition to serving as a conspicuous sign that an area is being monitored, cameras "can deter an act that might be happening and look at crimes that happened days and weeks before," Jones said.
"During the day, these cameras can be viewed by administrators in their offices, in the [school resource officer] office, and," he said, "we have a person at the district office … all day long, all he does is switch from one school to the next."
Several large, flat-screen monitors are mounted on a single wall in a surveillance center located at the school district's Emergency Operations Center. (Citing safety concerns, Jones would not allow The News Herald to photograph the room.)
From two desktop computers, operators can move screenshots from various cameras at various schools onto the much larger monitors. Operators are able to group together, for example, screenshots of all elementary school playgrounds or middle school lunch rooms.
"If we're notified that we have some trouble areas, we can zoom in on those cameras and leave them up and watch those areas as well," Jones added. "Cameras are a big thing."
The system will be used for more than just monitoring mischief, Jones said. In bad weather, the camera system will prove useful, as well.
Jones clicked on a weather detection software program that marks each school campus with colored blocks depicting weather conditions from fair to severe.
Tuesday's heavy rain prompted a notification for Waller Elementary that went directly to Jones' cellphone. He noted administrators at Waller also would receive the message.
Being notified allows for schools and his department to better determine the needed response to inclement weather, he said.
Also, traffic cameras allow operators at the operation center to see available routes for school buses to take if a traffic accident or emergency occurs.
In addition to surveillance upgrades at schools, each of the 147 buses in the district's bus fleet was installed with four cameras. The buses also are equipped with global positioning satellite (GPS) systems, which will track buses and students as they enter and exit each bus.
And as cameras help monitor movement, security fencing will harness it.
Jones said officials are planning for upgrades to the fencing system that will allow vendors to show badges to an operator via camera and the operator will be able to remotely open the gate.
Safety deputy and SRDs
New deputy safety security officer Bill McCurdy has spent his summer familiarizing himself with school emergency safety plans.
The task force felt the new position, which pays $40,064 annually, would give Jones a hand with enforcing federal and state laws and the school district's policies and procedures.
"One of the things that we're trying to do is unify the schools so that they have one core [emergency] plan," McCurdy said. "Before schools start, we have to come up with a unified school safety plan."
He said the "plan of action" would generally accommodate each school; for example, "if teachers are over at Everitt Middle School and they have to go to Arnold High School, they'll know the safety plan is the same."
McCurdy said he is confident the upgraded surveillance system will improve safety.
"I'm amazed. We've got cameras everywhere and we're about to double our camera capacity," he said. "We are cutting-edge stuff in this end of the state."
When school starts, he said, he'll spend a lot of time in the elementary schools where school resource deputies are not located to "try to keep that environment a safe and fear-free learning environment."
However, in areas of "access control" and "resources improvement," the task force identified a need for school resource deputies.
Deputies have been assigned at each high school and St. Andrews School. One deputy serves two middle schools and none are assigned to elementary schools, Sheriff's Office documents show.
A preliminary Sheriff's Office contract states 12 school resource deputies (SRDs) would cost the school district $570,000, with the Sheriff's Office funding three of them itself.
Bay District Schools will vote on the contract at Tuesday's board meeting to be held at 1 p.m. in the board meeting room at the district's headquarters, 1311 Balboa Ave.
"One of their main jobs is security at the campus," said BCSO Maj. Tommy Ford, noting the deputies are trained to respond in campus shooting scenarios. "What's important … is that having an SRD on the campus hopefully serves as a deterrent" and will add to the campus a person "who also can immediately get on the radio and summon assistance."
Deputies also work at gaining familiarity and trust of students, often serving as a counselor figure, Ford said, while also assisting school administration when needed.
Although budgeting issues have led to a muddled confusion over which agency should fund how much of the program, Ford said, the Sheriff's Office is looking to funding more school resource deputies to the program as budgets permit.
"We've all suffered budget cuts and we hope to move forward from the point we are now," Ford said. "Hopefully as budgets improve from both the county, the school district and the Sheriff's Office, we can begin to bring that program back up and fund more school resource deputies."
All of the school district's school resource deputies are contracted to BCSO. And all of the deputies have a minimum of nine years experience in law enforcement.
Southport Elementary Principal Dianne Miller represented the elementary schools on the task force.
"Unfortunately when you have people that are determined to do bad things … people find a way to get around all that we have in place," she said.
"If we had unlimited funding, every school would love to have a school resource officer," she said. "It really isn't the children that are the concern; it is the possibility of outside intruders coming in."
The task force opened "lines of communication," she said.
And although a full-time deputy has not been assigned at her school, she's content that "we've got a partnership going now and we have a plan in place that we didn't have before."
Recommendations and Strategies
Following is a list of the four recommendations (R) of the School Security Task Force, the strategies (S) to accomplish each and whether the school district has implemented the change.
R1: Increase safety and security at schools
S1: Increase availability and use of electronic surveillance: Yes
And increase presence of law enforcement personnel funded by a sales tax: No. The school district was unable to identify a funding source for school resource deputies on every campus.
S2: Increase emphasis on school visitors having proper credentials: Yes
S3: Provide safety plans to schools: Yes
S4: On-site review of school security by local law enforcement agencies: Yes
S5: Develop classroom security process: Yes
R2: Improve communications between law enforcement agencies and district
S1: All classrooms have emergency contact capabilities: Yes
S2: Provide law enforcement viewing access to on-campus cameras: Yes
R3: Improve quality of emergency training
S1: Conduct multiagency, scenario-based emergency trainings: No. Although the Bay County Sheriff's Office has conducted its own training, there has not been multiagency training. The school district is in the process of developing a training exercise, officials said.
S2: Conduct school site specific safety training for students and employees: Yes
R4: Provide increased levels of support and assistance to district and staff
S1: Provide additional support within the safety department: Yes

DENVER (AP) -- Mitt Romney is barreling out of the first presidential debate energized by a solid performance that showed his determination to take it to President Barack Obama with gusto.
The president, intent on keeping his momentum from stalling, is warning Americans that his Republican rival's policy prescriptions for a fragile economy are more fantasy than reality.
Standing toe-to-toe with the president Wednesday for the first time in the campaign, Romney held his own at a time when there already were signs that the race is tightening in some of the battleground states where Obama has enjoyed an advantage.
Obama kept his cool and signaled that he won't let up on his message that Romney's plans on taxes, health care, the deficit and more just don't add up.

Olympian Candies

Editor's Review

Olympian Candies still makes old-fashioned molded candies (like chocolate rabbits at Easter), and its Greek-style chocolate creams are to-die-for.
Don't be surprised if you see Kim Mitchell coming out of the kitchen at Olympian Candies in a chocolate-smudged apron. The shop has been a fixture in downtown Richmond for decades, and Kim hand-dips every chocolate in the shop. She is especially proud of her chocolate creams, made from recipes that James Chagares (the original owner) brought from Greece when he founded Olympian Candies in 1909. "I make true Greek creams from scratch," says Kim. "The cream centers are soft and gently ooze when you bite into them." Other specialties include melt-in-your-mouth caramels, scrumptious toffees, and "dittles," a chocolate-covered combination of caramel and pecans (much the same as the trademarked turtle candies). And if you've ever tried to find old-fashioned molded chocolates for the holidays, you'll definitely want to contact Olympian Candies. At Easter, the shop offers an excellent selection of chocolate chicks and bunnies; for Christmas, it sells colorfully decorated white chocolate Santas and snowmen. We tried milk chocolate peppermint creams. (Because the shop is part of the Wayne County Chocolate Trail, a trail passport lets you pick out any piece of chocolate to sample. Pick up a passport at the Richmond Visitor Center on Old National Road.) All pieces are still dipped by hand, and they look and taste homemade. These old-fashioned chocolates aren't fancy, but they are delicious. The chocolate trail passport also gives you a bonus 1/4 lb. of candy free when you buy 1/4 lb. at regular price. Prices are typical of an old-fashioned chocolate shop; most chocolates run $14-$20 per pound, 15-piece box costs $9.25.
