Title: Are bluebonnets toxic to horses from Pearland TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Are bluebonnets toxic to horses?
We couldn't find any definitive yes or no on this subject. Apparently, eating enough bluebonnets can be dangerous for a horse, depending on their size, age and how much is eaten. We found several websites that touched on the subject, and have included some quotations from them.
"Normally, horses won't eat poisonous plants. But, during summer months when pasture grasses turn dry and brown or when the pasture is over grazed, horses will eat anything they can find. Often grasses found around irrigated landscape plants or irrigation systems contain dangerous weeds along with those blades of succulent grass. And a young, nosey horse will often try something just to see what it tastes like.
Did you know that the fragrant flowering shrub from which we get perfume - jasmine -is death to horses? So are larkspur, bluebonnet, creeping ivy and buttercup - all popular landscape plants. Even the leaves of oak trees are toxic if eaten in large enough quantities."
Understanding Horse Nutrition from the Bexar County Extension Office:
Are bluebonnets dangerous in a horse pasture?
Bluebonnets are somewhat toxic, but very distasteful to animals. Horses, cows and bluebonnets have co-existed for as long as they have all been around."
"The Moderately Toxic listing includes: Bulbs, Lupine (Bluebonnets!), Rhubarb, Azalea, Rhododendron, Oats, Larkspur, Milkweed, Mustard, Spurges, Nightshades, Black Walnut, and Red Oak."
You will have to come to your own conclusion. We certainly wouldn't suggest cultivating bluebonnets in a pasture meant for horses, but this USDA Plant Profile map does not show Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) growing natively in the Pearland area anyway.

Stars Plan To Make A Trade- Sometime
07/11/07 at 10:44 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Dallas Morning News,
For Stars fans concerned by the team's inability to land a scoring forward in the early days of NHL free agency, the message from team president Jim Lites is clear:
"We're not dumb, we're not cheap and we've not fallen asleep," he said this week.
The Stars planned to spend $4 million to land an impact scorer when free agency began last week. Their goal remains the same, even if the timetable and method might have changed. Now, any major acquisition will come from a trade and is likely to happen months from now.
"Are we likely to make a trade? Yes, but not in the next week," Lites said, emphasizing the Stars intend to be patient. "Are we preparing to do something? Absolutely. But we're not going to do anything stupid."

The Bottom Line- Preds Need To Sell More Tickets
07/11/07 at 10:38 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Tennessean,
The Predators can stay in Nashville by averaging 14,000 in paid attendance this season, but a leader of a local group bidding for the team said the average needs to be 16,000 for owners to break even.
The Predators have never averaged 16,000 — their highest average was 15,364 in 1999-2000 — and with about three months to go until the 2007-08 season begins, they have about 7,000 season-ticket holders. That's about where they were at this time last year, the team said.

Flyers Want To Protect High Priced Talent
07/11/07 at 10:35 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Courier-Post,
With Scott Hartnell, Jason Smith, Derian Hatcher and Ben Eager, who led the NHL in penalty minutes last season with 233, the Flyers have players willing to fight. But they lack a true heavyweight who can take on Pittsburgh's Georges Laraque, the Rangers' Colton Orr and Buffalo's Andrew Peters.
Riley Cote just might be that heavyweight.
Cote played most of last season with the Phantoms, where injuries limited him to one goal and 125 penalty minutes in just 37 games. He was scoreless and had 11 penalty minutes in eight games with the Flyers.
"I'm rooting for him," Holmgren said. "The last three years all he's done is try to get better. He's hired his own skills coach, his own skating coach and now he's taking karate lessons to work on his balance. He's trying his (behind) off to be a better player. Can he do that role? Yeah, why not?"

Caps Stick To Game Plan
07/11/07 at 10:16 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Ted Leonsis at WashingtonCaps.com,
Thanks to a heads up from George McPhee, I knew who we would be pursuing in free agency before I left for China. It was great to hear that three of those names will be joining us in the fall.
Free agency is a crazy time, as I'm sure many of you found while hitting "refresh" on your favorite hockey website or blog. I know it seemed frantic to me, perhaps even more so since I was so far away. What's impressive to me is that amid that chaos, George and his team stuck to their plan, got what they felt we needed and did it all with contracts that will not hurt us competitively or financially down the road.

from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
The 2007-08 National Hockey League schedule will be unveiled this afternoon, and because of its unbalanced setup, the Canadian teams of the Northwest Division will not play the three Canadian teams of the Northeast Division next season.
Therefore, the CBC will broadcast four games for its popular Hockey Day in Canada on Feb. 9, beginning with the Detroit Red Wings visiting the Toronto Maple Leafs and ending with Ryan Smyth and the Colorado Avalanche in Vancouver to play the Canucks. In the other matches, the Ottawa Senators will host the Montreal Canadiens, and the Edmonton Oilers will travel south to play the Calgary Flames.

What's Going On Here
07/11/07 at 10:04 AM ET | Comments (0)
from the Winnipeg Free Press,
When the Pittsburgh Penguins signed $id the Kid yesterday to a five-year, US$43-million contract extension, the ongoing evolution of the NHL's economic panorama continued unabated.
My, what a curious animal, the NHL.
After all, it was only a few years ago that the Penguins had a payroll of $23.4 million for the entire team. Now they're going to shortly be shelling out $9 million per year to Crosby alone. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers, not so long ago the league's poor sister, were last week throwing $50 million at Buffalo sniper Thomas Vanek, although to no avail, as the Sabres matched the offer to the restricted free agent.

Did Ruff Make The Right Decision
07/11/07 at 09:59 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News,
Asked if he would have been so quick to sign that new three-year contract if he'd known what was coming, Ruff said, "Hindsight is 20-20, but it's something that I'd rather not even comment on."
Surely, Ruff knew he would get that question. He had nearly a week to prepare himself. He could have given the easy, diplomatic answer and said he signed his deal because he loves the team and the city and there's no place he'd rather be, regardless of the roster.
Ruff did say some of the right things. He said the Sabres had overcome adversity before and would do so again. But he couldn't lie. He could not say that, given the recent chain of events, he wouldn't have at least considered another NHL coaching job.

Little Wiggle Room For Rangers
07/11/07 at 09:32 AM ET | Comments (0)
from Larry Brooks of the NY Post on the negotiations with Lindqvist, Avery and Hossa,
Assuming a top-end settlement for each of the three players, the Rangers would be at almost $50 million for 23 projected roster spots. That could change in camp, of course, but at this point - even with an expanded summer cap that's largely eaten by Darius Kasparaitis' contract - the Rangers will have little room with which to maneuver without shedding a significant contract.

Apple patent could lead to carbon fiber MacBook housingsApple on Tuesday was granted a patent for a carbon fiber molding process that could one day be used to produce parts made from the lightweight material, like laptop casings or mobile device chassis.
Apple's U.S Patent No. 8,257,075 for a "Carbon composite mold design" describes the systems and methods needed to manufacture "aesthetically pleasing" parts from carbon fiber and other resin based composites.
While the applications of carbon fiber composite materials are many, Apple specifically notes that the invention can be used to "form outer housings for a laptop computer or other similar device." The patent may prove useful as an increasing consumer demand has pushed the industry toward slim and sleek portables with relatively heavy large screens. For example, the weight of the much-rumored next-generation iPhone's expected 4-inch screen could be offset by a carbon fiber monocoque.
It seems that the invention is aimed at larger devices like Apple's MacBook line, however, much like Sony's carbon fiber Vaio Z thin-and-light series.
Source: USPTO
From the patent's background:
As but one example, it would be particularly helpful if portable electronic device housings and components could be stronger and more durable than what is now typically provided in plastic parts that are formed via ordinary plastic injection molding processes. In particular, it would be beneficial if laptops, notebook computers, and other relatively large and heavy portable computing devices could have outer housings that are better able to protect the entire device from drops and other mechanical shocks.
The patent notes that traditional resin-based composites are made by layering resin-impregnated sheets of into or over a mold, which then cures under increased heat and pressure. Removal of the part can prove a hassle as the resins stick to the mold surfaces, which often requires manual prying and peeling from an operator. As a result, surface blemishes and other defects often occur.
Apple's proposed method looks to enable the mass-production of carbon fiber parts that have a consistent visual appearance by streamlining the manufacturing process.
The invention calls for a two-part mold, one a cavity and another portion "adapted to mate with the first," allowing composite parts to be formed in between. After curing, ejector pins located on one or both of the mold portions are used to separate the material from the mold body.
In another embodiment, a mold can have one or more internal fluid lines to help with cooling, a permanent release coating, and guide pins to accurately align the fiber sheets. Either a fluid or gas-actuated ejection system can also be employed for easy removal of the cured parts.
While Apple has shown no signs of using the advanced carbon fiber molding techniques in any future devices, the company may very well choose to do so in its push toward lighter and stronger products.

Writer, Arthur Conan Doyle estate dispute copyright on Sherlock Holmes
CHICAGO — It's the kind of puzzle that might have amused Sherlock Holmes himself.
Now that copyright protections have expired on nearly all of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's tales about the pipe-puffing detective in the deerstalker hat, are writers free to depict the character in new mysteries without seeking permission or paying license fees?
A federal judge in Chicago says yes, so long as they don't stray into territory covered in the 10 stories still protected by copyright. Not so fast, says the Doyle estate, which is considering an appeal this month. Descendants of the Scottish physician and author argue he continued to develop the characters of Holmes and Dr. Watson in the later works so they should remain off-limits until the remaining copyrights run out at the end of 2022.
"It's a bogus argument. It means you can reprint Conan Doyle's own stories freely but you can't make up a new story? It doesn't make logical sense," said author Leslie Klinger, who brought the case against the Conan Doyle Estate Ltd. to settle the matter.
With last week's ruling in hand, Klinger plans to finish work on "In the Company of Sherlock Holmes," a book of original short stories featuring characters and other elements from Conan Doyle's work. He is co-editing the book with plans to publish this fall.
If appeals judges hold it up, the ruling could lift the threat of legal action for the untold scores of writers out there churning out pastiches and fan fiction without permission. Most of them fly under the radar. In Klinger's case, the estate demanded $5,000, he said.
"Whatever decision they make will essentially determine the fate of many characters, not just Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, but very intricate characters such as James Bond. ... What happens as copyrights expire on Ian Fleming's original stories?" said Doyle estate attorney William Zieske.
The ruling could also weaken the value of the Sherlock franchise to the point that major publishers and movie producers could also decide to move ahead with projects without licensing deals, said Paul Supnik, a Beverly Hills, Calif., attorney specializing in copyright and entertainment law who was not connected with the case.
"At the very least it's going to affect the bargaining power as to what the estate can do in trying to sell it to the studio," Supnik said.
At the heart of the dispute is whether a character can be copyright protected over an entire series of works. The Doyle estate argues that a basic element of copyright law allows for that if the character is highly delineated, as opposed to a two-dimensional cartoon-like character who doesn't change much over time.
In ruling against the estate, Judge Ruben Castillo called that a "novel legal argument" that was "counter to the goals of the Copyright Act." The lawsuit was filed in Chicago because a literary agent for the Doyle estate is based in Illinois.
There's no question that Holmes and Watson are highly complex characters. Conan Doyle produced a total of four Sherlock Holmes novels and 56 stories between 1887 and 1927.
Klinger argues that everything you really need to know about Holmes and Watson is in the novels and stories published before 1923 that are in the public domain in the U.S. That includes their family backgrounds, education and a slew of character traits: Holmes' Bohemian nature and cocaine use, erratic eating habits, his Baker Street lodgings, his methods of reasoning, his clever use of disguise, his skill in chemistry and even his weapon of choice, a loaded hunting crop.
"Everything that the lay person would think of as being a characteristic of Holmes or Watson is in those pre-1923 stories," said Klinger, who is also an attorney and lives in Malibu, Calif. "In fact, some would say you could pick up almost everything you need from the very first story."
The other 10 stories have new biographical footnotes, including a mention that Watson had a second wife and played rugby in his youth.
But the Doyle estate says there are other significant elements in those later stories, such as Holmes' "mellowing" personality and the shift in Holmes' and Watson's relationship from flatmates and collaborators to closest friends.
Thus, to depict Holmes and Watson based only on parts of the canon that pre-date 1923 would be something of an artistic crime and ignore the extent to which the characters continued to evolve, said Doyle attorney Zieske.
"That's the essence of literature, how people change through different experiences," Zieske said. "And to reduce true literary characters to a cardboard cutout, parts of which can be carved off, I think does literature a great disservice."

19. The method of
The invention relates generally to the use of device color profiles used by image color management systems.
One goal of image color management technology is to ensure that a color image, graphic, or text object (hereinafter collectively referred to as graphical objects) is rendered as close as possible to its original intent on any device, despite differences in imaging technologies and color capabilities between devices. To achieve this goal, color characteristics of devices such as scanners, printers, and display monitors may be determined a priori and encapsulated in a device profile.
A device profile is a file that contains information about how to convert colors in the color space of a specific input device (e.g., a scanner) into a device-independent color space, or from a device independent color space into an output device's color space. Typical input and output device color spaces include the red-green-blue (RGB) and cyan-magenta-yellow-black (CMYK) color spaces. One illustrative device-independent or profile color space (PCS) is the Commission Internationale de l�clairage (CIE) XYZ color space. (See Commission Internationale de l�clairage Publication 15.2-1986, "Colorimetry, Second Edition.")
Referring to
Input and output device profiles 112 are typically created by device manufacturers or third party vendors and may comprise one, or a few different profiles—where each profile may accommodate different input and output color spaces. In an environment in which one, or at most a few, profiles for each device can be determined a priori, the above described color management scheme may work reasonably well. In an environment in which graphical objects may be subject to a variety of different capture environments (such as images generated by a digital camera), however, a single a priori device profile cannot provide good color reproduction for the different capture environments. Thus, it would be beneficial to provide a technique (apparatus and method) to generate color profiles for graphical objects in a dynamic or automatic fashion.
In one embodiment the invention provides a method and apparatus to dynamically generate device profiles. These embodiments may include receiving a graphical object having associated profile information, generating a profile based on the associated profile information, and identifying the profile to a color management system. The method may include generating a new graphical object, from the received graphical object, that has had its profile information removed. The act of identifying the profile may include associating a filename with the profile and communicating the filename to the color management system, perhaps via an application programming interface function call. The method may further include communicating the graphical object to the color management system.
In another embodiment, a method and apparatus to distinguish between a newly received graphical object's profile information and prior received profile information is provided. In these embodiments, if the newly received graphical object's associated profile information is not equivalent to prior received profile information, a new profile is created and identified to the color management system. Equivalence may be determined by comparing profile attribute values such as measurement tag values, and/or illuminant tag values, and/or rendering intents values.
Methods in accordance with the invention may be stored in any media that is readable and executable by a computer system. Illustrative media include: semiconductor memory devices such as EPROM, EEPROM, and flash devices; magnetic disks (fixed, floppy, and removable); other magnetic media such as tape; and optical media such as CD-ROM disks. Further, methods in accordance with the invention may be embodied in a hardware device such as a printed circuit board comprising discrete logic, integrated circuits, or specially designed application specific integrated circuits (ASIC).
Techniques (including methods and devices) to dynamically generate device profiles are described. The following embodiments of this inventive concept are illustrative only and are not to be considered limiting in any respect.
Referring to
Bridge circuit 208 provides an interface for system random access memory (RAM) 210, accelerated graphics port (AGP) 212 devices such as display unit 214, and one or more expansion slots 216. Expansion slots 216 may be personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) slots.
Bridge circuit 218 may also couple system bus 206 to secondary bus 220, while also providing universal serial bus (USB) 222 and integrated device electronics (IDE) 224 interfaces. Common IDE devices include magnetic and optical storage units 226. Also coupled to secondary bus 220 may be system read only memory (ROM) 228, keyboard controller (KYBD) 230, audio device 232, and input-output (I/O) circuit 234. One illustrative bridge circuit 218 is the 82371AB PCI-to-ISA/IDE controller manufactured by Intel Corporation. Input-output circuit 234 may provide an interface for parallel 236 and serial 238 ports, floppy disk drives 240, and infrared ports 242.
Camera 202 may associate (e.g., store) profile information with each image at the time the image is captured. The associated profile information may include profile information in accordance with the International Color Consortium's (ICC's) profile format specification, version 3.4, August 1997. Thus, an image file generated by camera 202 may have the structure shown in
Measurement tags redColorantTag, greenColorantTag, and blueColorantTag represent the relative XYZ values of the input device's (e.g., camera 202) red, green, and blue colorants. Rendering intent information such as red, green, and blue tone reproduction curve (TRC) tags or attributes may be used by a color management module (CMM) to linearize RGB input and may be ignored if the input data is already linear. Illuminant tag information such as the mediaWhitePointTag may be used to record the XYZ (e.g., the PCS color space) values of the capture media's (e.g., digital "film") white point. Another illuminant tag that may be recorded by camera 202 and included in an image's profile information 300 is the viewingConditionsType and associated tag value. The viewingConditionsType attribute may record the illuminant condition under which an image is captured such as whether it was taken under daylight, tungsten, or fluorescent lighting conditions. (In one embodiment of the ICC profile format, the mediaWhitePointTag value is used for generating absolute colorimetry and is referenced to the PCS so that the media white point as represented in the PCS is equivalent to this tag value.) Because each image captured by camera 202 may be subject to a different illumination condition it is, in general, not possible to generate a color profile a priori that provides good color reproduction of the captured image. This is one distinguishing feature between a digital camera and other image capture devices such as digital scanners which have a substantially constant capture environment. The lack of certainty in describing an image's illuminant condition means that, without a means of generating a device profile based on the image itself, the ability of a color management system to render the image as close as possible to its original intent on any device, despite differences in imaging technologies and color capabilities between devices, is substantially limited.
One method to dynamically generate a device profile is illustrated in
In another embodiment, referred to herein as the "live" mode of operation, camera 202 is coupled to computer system 200 during image capture, periodically transferring captured images in an automated manner. By way of example, camera 202 may be coupled to computer system 200 via electrical cable, radio frequency or infrared transmission channels, and may transfer images to computer system 200 at a rate of up to approximately 30 images per second. The transfer may be initiated by computer system 200 or by camera 202. When camera 202 is coupled to computer system 200, the probability of successive images having different taking conditions is relatively small. Thus, when operating in the live mode, it may not be necessary to create a new profile for every image that is transferred from camera 202 to computer system 200.
Referring to
If there is no match (the 'no' prong of step 504), a new profile is generated as described above and assigned a unique filename (step 506). The newly created profile may be indexed in a manner that allows its use with another image (step 508), and the CMM is notified of the new profile's filename via an appropriate applications programming interface (API) call (step 510). In one embodiment, a profile is generated for each unique set of tag table data, and a list/table of the filenames and associated profile information is kept available so that each incoming (i.e., current) image's profile data may be compared to prior unique profile data. In another embodiment, a new profile is generated (step 506) only when the current image's profile information differs from previous profile data by a specified amount. For example, a new profile may be created when the current image's mediaWhitePointTag value differs from a previous profile's mediaWhitePointTag value by a first specified percentage, or when the viewingConditionsTag value differs from a second specified percentage.
If there is a match between the current image's profile data and profile data associated with a previous image (the 'yes' prong of step 504), the filename associated with the matching profile's data is determined (step 512) and provided to the CMM through an appropriate API call (step 510). If the live mode session is complete (the 'yes' prong of step 514), processing is terminated (step 516). If the live mode session is not complete (the 'no' prong of step 514), processing continues at step 500.
In another embodiment, the ability to distinguish between live mode and non-live mode operations may be provided in a single application (comprising one or more computer programs) as shown in
If the imaging device is operating in the live mode (the 'yes' prong of step 604), the received image's profile information is compared with existing (i.e., previously generated and stored) profile data that is subject to change based on the image's capture environment such as changes in illuminant tag values such as mediaWhitePointTag and viewingConditionsTag values, or measurement tag values such as redColorantTag, greenColorantTag, and blueColorantTag values (step 618). If there is no match (the 'no' prong of step 620), a new profile is generated, assigned a unique filename, and indexed as described above and shown in
If there is a match between the current image's profile information and previous profile data (the 'yes' prong of step 620), that profile associated with the matching profile data is determined (step 628) and processing continues at step 608.
One advantage of dynamically generating device profiles is that each graphical object (e.g., an image) may be rendered as close as possible to its original intent on any device, despite differences in the imaging technologies and color capabilities between the device that captured the graphical object and the device displaying the graphical object. Another advantage of dynamically generated device profiles in accordance with one embodiment of the invention is that existing color management application programs are not required to be modified—they may interact with dynamically generated device profiles via a standard application programming interface. Yet another advantage of dynamically generated profiles is that in live mode the number of profiles needed to accurately process a large number of images may be small. (This is because a camera's capture environment is not likely to change frequently when coupled to a computer system.) In these cases, only a few unique profiles are created (see
Various changes in the materials, components, circuit elements, as well as in the details of the illustrated operational methods are possible without departing from the scope of the claims. For example, an image capture device may be a digital camera or any other device capable of providing an image containing device profile information. Thus, previously captured image files may be provided from computer storage such as magnetic and optical disks, magnetic tape, and flash memory devices. In one embodiment, an image capture device may be coupled to computer system 200 through expansion slots 216 or through I/O circuit 228.

Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Pinole Point ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Tuesday, 7th of July of 2015, the sun rose in Pinole Point at 5:55 am and sunset will be at 8:35 pm. Today we can see the moonset on the horizon at 271º west at 12:15 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 5:14 am and the next high tide will be at 6:30 pm. The only low tide of the day will be at 11:36 am.
The lunar phase is a Waning Gibbous. Today we have 14 hours and 40 minutes of sun. The solar transit is at 1:15 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 12 hours and 15 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 73, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 69 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 66. The tide heights today are 5.2 ft, 0.0 ft and 5.9 ft. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Pinole Point which is of 7.5 ft and a minimum height of -1.6 ft.
The solunar fishing calendar in Pinole Point tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for Pinole Point. The times are generated in local time in California and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Pinole Point are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

With his latest book, UK-based author and horror movie enthusiast Dave Jay set his sights on none other than tireless indie genre film warrior Charles Band, specifically on those storied days in the early 80s when budgets were large and the personalities even larger.Read more »
Charles Band's newly minted WIZARD Studios imprint, an extension of his colorful and influential home video label from the early 1980's, has been quietly making good on its mandate for months. That is, to acquire a selection of high quality microbudget horror and fantasy films to stream via his FullMoonStreaming.com and – eventually – premiere on DVD. The first wave of films included such fare as VILANELLE, VAMPIE and the stunning winter-set giallo VIRGINIA OBSCURA. But WIZARD's latest pick-up is something extra odd and spectacularly tasteless: PMS COP!Read more »
Already legendary FANGORIA photographer Ama Lea—the lady who has helped secure Fango a "Best Cover" Rondo nomination for her stunning shots of Roger Corman in FANGORIA #328—returns to the pages of GOREZONE in our upcoming issue #31! Last round (issue #30 on sale here), Ama dragged HUMAN CENTIPEDE star Ashlynn Yennie out to the desert, poured her into barely there clothing and had her beat up John Humphrey, but this time she's gone after this generation's most prolific and savvy scream queen, the immaculate Danielle Harris.Read more »
As Fango previously reported, Canadian indie horror anthology LATE NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE is currently in production in Toronto. The brainchild of producer and occasional Fango scribe Kelly Michael Stewart (award-winning short ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD), the film is an amalgam of two short shockers helmed by young filmmakers Zach Ramelan (DEAD RUSH) and Torin Langen (FONDUE) with a wraparound from ONE MORE FROM THE ROAD director Navin Ramaswaran, all based around the concept of a late night horror host show turned terribly malevolent.Read more »

If you've seen V/H/S/2, then you'll surely remember Eduardo Sanchez and Gregg Hale's "A Ride in the Park" segment, in which a recreational biker with an HD cam mounted on his helmet is attacked by and turned into a zombie, with the audience then treated to a first person horror show of 1080p gut-munching horror. Now, FANGORIA wants to give you the chance to win the kind of camera in which you too can make such a movie, and other wild first person features as well.Read more »
Filmmaker and author Gregory Lamberson (SLIME CITY MASSACRE, THE JAKE HELMAN FILES) and Toronto-based FANGORIA cover artist Kelly Forbes (Forbes painted all three FANGORIA Legends covers to date) are teaming up for a comic book adaptation of Lamberson's novella CARNAGE ROAD. Published in 2012, Lamberson's book tells the tale of Boone and Walker, the last members of the Floating Dragons motorcycle gang, who take a road trip across America during the zombie apocalypse. The book has also been optioned as a possible film/TV property by actor Craig Sheffer (NIGHTBREED, BATTLEDOGS).Read more »

Mark Rylance storms Broadway with 'Richard III,' 'Twelfth Night'
New York — Thirty-odd years ago, Mark Rylance was a University School of Milwaukee high school student performing as Hamlet under director Dale Gutzman, whom Rylance continues to credit for kindling a love of Shakespeare and theater.
Cut to the present, in which the London-based Rylance is taking Broadway by storm — in repertory performances at the Belasco Theatre as Olivia in "Twelfth Night" and the title role in "Richard III" — that could add a third Tony to his trophy case. Having recently caught both performances, it's easy to see why. »Read Full Article
'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Originally written on Sox and Dawgs | Last updated 11/15/11
Sometimes games against a lesser opponent is what's needed for a team, especially one trying to find its identity after having Maya Moore for four years. It also allows UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma to play different lineups to see what he's got in case it's ever needed. That's exactly what Auriemma was able to do on Tuesday night against the Pacific Tigers. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis led six Huskies in double figures with 25 points in their 112-53 win over the Tigers in front of 6,067 at Gampel Pavilion on campus in Storrs, CT. Ironically enough, Pacific was the last team UConn beat during their record 90 game winning streak that ended at Stanford last year. The Cardinal just happen to be UConn's next opponent. KML rebounded from a poor shooting performance in her debut as she got her 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting including 5-of-6 from three point land. She also led the Huskies with seven rebounds. Bria Hartley had 18 points while freshman Brianna Banks added 12. Carolin...

Dina Lohan's new reality show debuted this last Sunday and it's safe to say it's pissed off a lot of people. During the episode, she was taped watching a Lindsay Lohan look-a-like sex tape when her underaged daughter walked in and asked, "Is that Lindsay?"
Ali is only 14-years-old and its definitely outraged a lot of people. People in chat rooms are going nuts over the subject asking if it's even legal for a child to watch porn.
Pat Truman, the former Justice Department Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, tells Page Six: "It's inappropriate but probably not illegal. If there was a situation where a mother was regularly exposing her child to pornography, it would be a concern for state child welfare agencies."
Would we expect anything more from Dina Lohan? She's just using Lindsay's name on her show in an attempt to get ratings but that doesn't even seem to be working. Did you watch the show? Will you watch it again?

Cities define us. They shape the outlooks, opportunities and lives of over half of the world's population. Yet most contemporary political thought neglects their role.

Daniel Bell thinks it is time to revive the thinking of the Greeks and rediscover the spirit of cities.
