Skip back? Maybe, and it could happen in the NBA D-League. Per ZagsBlog: "Former NBA point guard Rafer 'Skip to My Lou' Alston is attempting a comeback and could be in the NBA D-League by Friday. 'He has to get picked up and he gets cleared for the NBDL Friday at 1 p.m.,' a source close to Alston told SNY.tv. Alston, 35, had been coaching at Humble (Texas) Christian Life Center, but is apparently attempting to return to the NBA. The former Queens Cardozo and streetball star last played with the Nets and Miami Heat during the 2009-10 season. 'I spoke to Mike James,' Alston's former AAU coach, Gary Charles, told SNY.tv. 'He said, 'Yeah, Rafer wants to get back,' but I haven't spoken with Rafer.'"

Notre Dame Senior
40: 4.72
Has decent speed and can move in space. Capable of making the open field stop or the one at the point of attack. Willing to fill against the run and comes up to make the hit against the ballcarrier. Does a nice job setting the edge against the outside run. Gets nice depth in zone coverage and shows ability to keep things in front of him. Flashes burst upfield as a blitzer, and occasionally will put his hand in the dirt and be decent there.
Not very instinctual and tends to be a second late reacting to the run or the pass. Lacks ball skills and doesn't have the hips and burst to match up with quicker backs and receivers in man coverage. Needs to be a more consistent tackler and do a better job wrapping up in the open field. Overpursues and needs to learn to take better angles in space.
Smith has NFL-caliber tools, but just lacks ideal instincts and playmakers skillset. He is a capable blitzer, decent in coverage, and can defend the run. He doesn't wow you, but has enough skill to think he can contribute in multiple schemes at the next level. Started at both middle and outside linebacker during his sophomore and junior years at Notre Dame, combining for 125 tackles, 9.5 for loss, 3.5 sacks, and 2 INTs during that span. Was relegated to a backup as a senior, but managed to start final 5 games as an injury replacement for Carlo Calabrese at ILB. Finished year with 50 tackles, 3.5 for loss, 1 sack, and 1 INT.
Smith has the potential and versatility to play in multiple schemes. In a 4-3 scheme,he probably fits best as a SAM linebacker. In a 3-4 scheme, I think he is good enough to add depth both at ILB and potentially as an OLB. In the latter scheme, he's not a good enough pass rusher to really impact there, but he's a decent option at the SAM spot in that scheme for one that likes to drop its linebackers in coverage and have them defend the run as much as it does rush the quarterback. But regardless of the scheme, he's depth and reserve talent rather than a potential starter. If he gets comfortable in scheme, four or so years down the road he might be a decent stopgap starter for a couple of games, but not the caliber of player that you think he can be an effective starter for extended periods of time. His value will largely depend on his ability to produce on special teams. He can blitz, cover, and play the run. And while he doesn't excel in any of those areas, at some point I suspect he'll be able to find a home in someone's scheme as a backup.
Smith would be a backup SAM linebacker for the Flacons, but also has the ability to add depth at the WILL spot. He's good enough playing in space and in coverage to think he can be a decent No. 2 behind Nicholas there. But his value in Atlanta will largely depend on him being an effective special teams player, at least early in his career. Three or four years down the road, he might be comfortable enough to be a decent stopgap starter for a big chunk of a season, but he'll be exposed for extended periods of time.
Smith can add depth in multiple schemes, and thus is worth a look in the seventh round.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Speed: 3.0
Tackling: 2.5
Coverage: 2.5
Point of Attack: 2.5
Instincts: 2.0
Pass Rush: 2.5

I'm wondering about something...a couple of somethings, actually.
Merle killed 8 guys in his ambush. Well, he took them down and let the walkers get them.
At least
two were shot in the legs, to take them down without killing them outright.
1) Except the Governor. Was Merle trying for a headshot and Ben stepped in the way, or trying to wound and Ben was shorter and so was shot in the head?
2) The wounded men who were attacked by walkers. When Daryl gets there, they're dead. Dead. Not getting up and becoming walkers. Yeah, some had their guts out and such, but they were not getting up. I know, this allowed Daryl to see them as having been shot (by Merle) and so know that Merle tried to redeem himself in some way. But shouldn't they have become walkers?

Boxing v. MMA Pay Scale & Business Models
MMA Weekly has quotes from Gary Shaw talking about supposed discrepancies between the boxing and MMA pay scales.
Truthfully, I don't think there is a discrepancy, he said in a recent conference call. I think that people believe that. But trust me, there's not a discrepancy that you all think there is. Fighters that are starting out that are getting paid a thousand or two thousand a fight are no different than an undercard boxer.
In comparing the pay scales of boxing and MMA, particularly the UFC, it is important to consider the differences in each sports respective business models. Boxing promotions generally operate on an event to event basis with small full time staffs. Third party partners are the key to producing successful events in this model.
As a result boxing promoters have lower overhead and can afford to pay fighters higher guarantees since they receive more contracted fees (site fees, broadcast fees, major sponsorships, etc.). These advantages come at the expense of creative control, which isn't that important in a business model designed to maximize current profits, the future be damned.
The UFC on the other hand is largely self sustained. It handles everything from television production, advertising, etc. in house. As a result it has a much higher overhead and is much more dependent on the live gate and pay-per-view revenue in order to have a successful show. In exchange for bearing greater risk, the company deserves a greater financial share.
Deciding which model is best for the fighter is not as a easy as saying which model pays better. In the short term, boxing's model may offer bigger paydays, but at the potential expense of the future. Promoters have little investment in future success, creating a make money now, worry later mentality that has hurt the sport. The UFC on the other hand may offer smaller payoffs as a percentage now, but its model should provide more consistent future paydays. The company's insistence on exclusivity inherently invests it in protecting the sport's future.

Ride along with Marcos Ambrose and A.J . Allmendinger as they battle it out for the win and a chance at a Chase spot.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Best Buy Co., and Richard Petty Motorsports on Tuesday announced their continued partnership for the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season that extends the consumer electronics retailer's status as primary sponsor of the No. 43 driven by A.J . Allmendinger . "Best Buy is proud to renew our relationship with Richard Petty Motorsports and driver A.J . Allmendinger for the 2011 season," said Drew Panayiotou, senior vice president, marketing, Best Buy. "Richard Petty is a motorsports icon and is well respected within the sport of NASCAR. Being a part of a team with his leadership is a privilege. We will be doing some innovative work with Richard Petty Motorsports surrounding our sponsorship, creating new and fun ways to engage the fans. We look forward to continuing our support of A.J . and the No. 43 team as they strive to make their way to Victory Lane." Best Buy will be the primary sponsor for 24 Sprint Cup Series events in 2011 and will be featured as the primary sponsor for two non-points events, the Duel and the Sprint All-Star Race. In addition, Best Buy will serve as an associate sponsor for the No. 9 driven by Marcos Ambrose. The deal marks the company's second year with Allmendinger and its seventh year in NASCAR. "It's great to have Best Buy back on board our No. 43 Ford," Allmendinger said. "They have been a great partner and I'm really excited about the opportunity to work with an organization that is as passionate about its racing program as I am. I think this is going to be a great year for this Richard Petty Motorsports team and I can't wait to get the Best Buy Ford into Victory Lane." Allmendinger is coming off a season in which he compiled two top-five finishes and eight top-10s. In addition, he scored his first career pole at Phoenix. Allmendinger finished season 19th in points, a career best.
A.J . Allmendinger saves the fuel needed to capture back-to-back Nationwide roadcourse wins.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Fully committed to earning the best possible result in the team's eighth consecutive Rolex 24 At Daytona outing, Michael Shank Racing will stage the strongest campaign in team history with three Daytona Prototype entries for the 49th running of the endurance classic on Jan. 29-30. On Friday, team owner Mike Shank announced the driver lineup for the third entry, with the No. 6 Ford-Dallara being driven Sprint Cup Series drivers A.J . Allmendinger and Michael McDowell and IndyCar driver Justin Wilson. The 2011 Rolex 24 At Daytona will mark Allmendinger's sixth attempt in the Rolex 24. He has led every race that he has started, with a best result of second, which he shared with Wilson in 2006. Wilson has three starts in the event, and will look to improve his own personal best, having twice run to the checkered flag in the overall runner-up position. "I've been telling Mike that I am not going to stop trying to win this race until we get to the top, and hopefully we can do that this year," Allmendinger said. "Mike Shank runs a great team, and this race is what his entire organization is all about. I can't even describe how much I want to win this race. Getting so close the first time out, and having led it as much as we have only makes me want it that much more." McDowell has Grand-Am experience stretching back to 2004, as the Phoenix native broke through for his first Daytona Prototype victory one year later in Mexico City. While his motorsports career has seen him show speed in everything from open wheel machines to the Cup Series, his participation in the Rolex 24 has remained constant, with three top-10 finishes in four starts. "Starting the year with the Rolex 24 is a great way to kick the season off," McDowell said. "I've been fortunate to run the 24 with some strong driver lineups, but I feel like this is the best effort that I've been a part of. Mike Shank's cars are always very fast at Daytona and the team does an excellent job preparing the cars."
Allmendinger talks about the highlights of 2011 and his goals on making the Chase next year.
A.J . Allmendinger suffered a flat tire before the green flag, but battled back to finish second and transfer into the All-Star Race.
A.J . Allmendinger spins off Turn 4 and ends up tearing the front end off the No. 51.
Pocono incident angers Richard Childress Racing driver Ryan Newman hinted that payback may be coming to AJ Allmendinger after the JTG Daugherty driver sent Newman's No. 31 Chevrolet into the wall on Lap 139 of Sunday's Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400 at Pocono Raceway . "It's pretty obvious what happened," said Newman, who was running seventh at the time but finished 39th. "The No. 47 ( Allmendinger ) just ran out of talent. He has got one coming now." Allmendinger appeared to get loose in Turn 1, and he tapped Newman's left rear bumper to trigger the incident. "The 47 just dove down in there and took your ass out," Newman was told over the radio. "I'm fully aware of the piece of (expletive)," the driver of the No. 31 replied. Allmendinger took the blame for the incident over his scanner. Then, later as the JTG team was assessing the damage, said "I don't even deserve to be in the car right now." Richard Childress Racing , the team for which Newman drives, has a technical alliance with JTG Daugherty as well.
AJ Allmendinger gets into Ryan Newman in Turn 1, sending the No. 31 hard into the wall.
No. 78 Furniture Row driver starts the year off with two top-10 finishes Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live LAS VEGAS -- Martin Truex Jr . was all smiles after climbing out of his car on Las Vegas Motor Speedway pit road, his runner-up finish in the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet his best in two seasons with the team. And as happy as he was, you got the feeling Truex wasn't satisfied. He still wanted more. "I've finished second a lot in my career," Truex said, with a grin. "But this feels good and it's better than third … or 30th." And the very fact Truex is shooting higher than a runner-up effort shows how far this single-car team has come in a year. Truex' debut with the Furniture Row Racing Team included winning the outside pole for the 2014 Daytona 500 but he finished last in the race and it proved a harbinger of things to come. He scored five top-10s but had 11 finishes of 25th or worse and led only one lap on the season after contending for a Chase bid a year earlier with Michael Waltrip Racing . This year he started 10th and finished eighth in the Daytona 500 and answered that last week at Atlanta with a sixth-place finish. His runner-up at Las Vegas equals a runner-up finish in the non-points paying Sprint Unlimited race at Daytona in February and he also finished fifth in his Daytona 500 qualifying race. And Truex is fourth in the Sprint Cup Series championship standings, only five points behind Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano entering next week's race in Phoenix. Truex could only shake his head when asked to describe the difference between the start of 2015 and the disappointment of 2014. "You can't describe it," he said. "When things aren't going good, you have to just keep on going and going, and working and working harder. "It's no different than what Sherry was going through. You find out what people are made of when they're down," Truex said, referring to his longtime girlfriend Sherry Pollex, who has undergone treatment for ovarian cancer in the past year. "After seeing all that and being a part of that, its was like, a bad year in the race car, that's nothing. Caring for Pollex through her difficult treatment and watching her will to persevere and strength to overcome has affected Truex greatly and inspired him mightily. It has given him a new perspective and re-defined what it means to "never give up." "When you get a glimpse of something that could possibly change your life like that in a bad way, it makes you look at things a lot differently," Truex said. "Suddenly those bad days at the race track weren't so bad. Suddenly they were okay and I knew that if we just kept working hard, we could get through it all and certainly I feel like we have now. "But we're going to continue to work hard and try to get to that next level. We want to win races. We have got a great team. We have got good equipment right now and it's important when you're in those positions to try to take advantage of that." Truex was quick to credit some major offseason changes for the early season results. He has a new crew chief, Cole Pearn, and says the team's technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing is maturing and paying off, as is simply having a year under his belt with the FRR team. Third-place finisher Ryan Newman , a RCR driver and sixth-place finisher, JTG Daugherty Racing driver A.J . Allmendinger are part of that RCR alliance. "Just getting more experience together, getting more confidence in each other and really just having a better game plan going into the season is a big part of the reason why the cars are running better and all the teams seem to be running closer together," Truex said. Asked if the rules changes to the cars may have played a role in his reversal of fortune and lent itself more to his driving style, Truex said it was simpler than that. "I attribute it to knowing what we were doing wrong last year and fixing it over the winter time and coming out of the box kind of understanding what we're doing. "The biggest thing I was proud of today or took way from it was we were off a little bit at the beginning of the race and worked on it all day long, continued to get better and at the end of the day we were the best we've been all day." He continued, "That's what you like to see out of your team; you like to finish strong. "Got a lot of momentum on our side right now and hopefully we can keep building on that, build some more momentum and hopefully we are able to catch that 4-car (Sunday's race winner and points leader Kevin Harvick ) in a couple weeks."

Originally written on Baseball Hot Corner | Last updated 7/15/13
Team: Seattle Mariners Record: 43-52 (11 GB) Biggest Surprise of First Half: The biggest surprise thus far has to be the "Ageless Wonder" Raul Ibanez who has mashed 24 home runs in the first half of the season. The 41-year old is 5 homers shy of the elusive 300 Home Run plateau and has already eclipsed the 19 round trippers he hit last season. Not even the most optimistic Mariners fan could have foreshadowed that Ibanez would dial long distance 24 times and be on pace for nearly 50 bombs. Pretty good bargain for $2,750,000 bucks. Biggest Disappointment of First Half: Canadian born Michael Saunders was poised for a big campaign after a breakout 2012 season and a monster World Baseball Classic tourney. However Saunders fizzled the first half batting .225 with 6 home runs and a disappointing .667 OPS. Saunders did miss some time with an injury but has not lived up to the lofty expectations that the Mariners had for him. If healthy Saunders should rebound in the second half and try to s...

How is everybody doing today? Real People Do Real Things.
We're feeling bullish today. Thank you.
Hmmm . . . master of bulls, likes wrestling . . . must be a MATador.
One might want to be careful of ones nickname. A coach named Adam Keiswetter at UN-Kearney calls himself the master of the twister (cement job - and a really good one). Guess what took the roof of his apartment off while we were in Kearney?
Reni and I stayed outside and watched the show. The Hotel staff would chase us in and then we'd go out again - Reni and I are both weather junkies - know a lot about tornadoes - and there is no way we were going to miss this. I was just tracking the funnels and watching for debree(sp).
Watching the clouds rotate like that above you is weird. There were funnels all over the place and three actually touched down, one little one (F-0) right on us. We saw the large f-2 (a mile away or so) that did most of the damage when it took out three transformers one after another. The good news is while there was a lot of damage nobody got hurt.
Now I don't have to spend a lot of money to go storm chasing..... one came to us.

Question about O/Cing

Re: Question about O/Cing
Thanks I will play around with it. I got a BSOD while listening to music. Sound skipped and my system restarted. It worked fine before I attempted to O/C.
So on the timings I should probably go up. I've heard people had problems O/Cing with lower timings such as 4-4-4-15, and had to go up to 5-5-5-15, and from what I've read they really do not impact performance that much.
When you say set the RAM to half, you mean actually lower it from 800MHz to perhaps a lower speed? Remember your talking to someone who pretty much only owned an Athlon 64 motherboard, and O/Cing was as a bit easier.
The reason I say I set the DRAM :FSB to 3:2 was because if I tried to O/C it was putting my RAM at 1000-1200MHz and I am sure this RAM is not capable of that, and the rest of the settings like 1:2 were just making it higher. I'll give it a try, but I want to make sure no more BSOD's happen first.
Really appreciate the help though. My old forums AMD Support forums treated me like an outcast when I asked for help, or even upgraded and I think a few members who were running benchmark threads over there got banned for doing it with Intel. Kind of lame if you ask me. I am no fan boy of anything except nvidia. I go for whats fastest for the games I play, and I needed to make the dual core lift and this was the one.

Astros trade Feliz to Cards, get minor league pitcher
Feliz brings minor leaguer from Cardinals
, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle |
August 19, 2010
Photo By Melissa Phillip/ChroniclePedro Feliz, who was signed to a one-year, $4.5 million contract in the offseason, had gone from opening-day starter to third-string third baseman.
In their continued effort to get younger, the Astros on Thursday traded veteran infielder Pedro Feliz to the St. Louis Cardinals for a minor league pitcher.
Feliz, who was signed to a one-year, $4.5 million contract, had gone from opening-day starter to third-string third baseman, failing to display any of the pop and little of the run-producing ability the Astros thought they had bought in the offseason.
In exchange for Feliz and cash, the Astros landed David Carpenter, a 25-year-old righthander who was 5-3 with a 2.36 ERA and 20 saves at Class A Palm Beach (Fla.)
Originally drafted as a catcher, Carpenter was a 12th round pick by the Cardinals in 2006 and converted to pitcher in 2008.
"In David Carpenter, we've acquired a power arm for our system and we'll give him every chance to develop into a major leaguer," Astros general manager Ed Wade said.
Feliz hit .221 in 97 games with four home runs and 31 RBIs. He started 60 games at third base and 10 at first base.
The Astros had Feliz pegged for a 20-home run, 85-RBI season when they signed him in December.

text: Kuala Lumpur: CIMB-Principal Asset Management Berhad has announced a 50% increase for the size of two of its funds: the CIMB Islamic DALI Equity Growth Fund size is now 1.8 billion units and the CIMB Islamic Money Market Fund is 337.5 million units. Previously the fund sizes were 1.2 billion units and 225 million units respectively. Chief Executive Officer, J. Campbell Tupling said: "This is a timely increase as the funds are able to meet the different needs of our investors in the current market condition. Some are keen to invest in current attractive valuations for the opportunity to further grow their investment, while others are re-strategising for their active return to the market." CIMB Wealth Advisors, the major distributor of CIMB Islamic DALI Equity Growth Fund, notes that there is good demand for the EPF-approved Fund due to its consistent out-performance of its benchmark. "The Fund has been outperforming the FTSE Bursa Malaysia EMAS Shariah Index since its inception in May 1998. As at 31 May 2009, the 3-Year cumulative performance showed outperformance by 20.85%. It is also popular with EPF investors as they can eliminate the hassle of topping up from their own pockets and deduct directly from their EPF accounts instead, provided they have sufficient balance in their Account 1. Investors can consult any CIMB Wealth Advisors to check their latest balance in Account 1," said Tan Beng Wah, Chief Executive Officer of CIMB Wealth Advisors. The CIMB Islamic Money Market Fund serves as a convenient parking facility for investors to temporarily place their cash without compromising their accessibility to withdraw anytime without penalty. The Fund aims to provide investors with liquidity and regular income while maintaining capital stability by investing primarily in Shariah-compliant money market instruments.

3D Flower Card
By: Martha Stewart Crafts
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This spring, make someone a 3D Flower Card just to say "I'm thinking of you!" These handmade cards ideas from Martha Stewart will help you create a 3-dimensional clay flower card for someone special.
- Flower Garden Mold & Clay Gift Pack
- Crafter's Clay Floral Crafting Kit
- Paper Trimmer
- Bone Folder
- 14X3 Craft Ruler
- Glue Writing Pen Fine Tip
- Permanent Adhesive Tab And Roll
- Dual Temperature Setting Glue Gun
- Cardstock: green and off white
- Refer to color chart in Basic Color Set to mix desired colors for the flowers and leaves.
- Pull the clay a few times until blended, then roll into a smooth ball.
- Press into molds. Make one of each size flower in different colors as shown.
- If necessary, use detailing tool to scrape excess from back of mold.
- Release clay by gently bending back the mold. After unmolding, use detailing tool to smooth any rough edges.
- Cut a piece of green cardstock for card base. Using ruler and bone folder, score and fold in half.
- Cut a piece of off-white cardstock to fit within the front of the card base leaving a 1/4in mat. Adhere to the card base using permanent adhesive.
- Attach flower clay pieces to front of card as shown using hot glue gun.
- Cut thin strips of green cardstock to make flower stems and use the fine-tip glue pen to adhere to the card front as shown.
- Attach leaf clay pieces to front of card as shown using hot glue gun.
Working with Crafter's Clay
- Prevent clay from drying out while you work by placing clay on a damp paper towel and covering with another damp paper towel. When finished, store in an airtight plastic bag with a damp paper towel.
- Mix colors by pulling, like taffy. When mixing multiple colors into white, mix the colors together first, then mix the blended color into the white just until the color is even throughout.
- Clay may be shaped and molded several times, but will dry out if over-worked.
- Wash your hands before handling a different color to keep clay colors pure.
- Allow molded embellishments to dry before gluing clay to project. Items will dry within 24 hours, but may be handled sooner if done with care.
Molding Tips
- Always press a smooth surface into the mold. Any crease in the clay will appear on the final molded object.
- Push clay in from the outer edge of the mold for a clean finish.
- After unmolding, use detailing tool to smooth any rough edges

A$AP Rocky had never been to a fashion show before this season (or, if he has, there's no photographic evidence). But this past New York Fashion Week, he went to at least seven, posing happily on the catwalk with his middle finger raised and a big smile on his face. He even walked the runway at Hood by Air, swinging his arms around awkwardly and reminding everyone why models have jobs. But anyway, welcome to the strange world of fashion, Rocky! So glad you're having a good time here.
Click through our slideshow, which documents his hodgepodge of appearances from the past week, and let's hope he continues his ascension to front row celebrity status (Paris next?). He owns a "Comme des Fuck Down" hat, and fashion needs more of that.BEGIN SLIDESHOW

The Chinese community in Cameroon now has a new bureau to pilot the affairs of their chamber of commerce in the country. The new team led by Lin Zim Wei was presented to the rest of the Chinese community and the press in Yaounde on Saturday August 30.
This was during a dinner at a restaurant at the Bastos neigbourhood in Yaounde which also served as an opportunity for Chinese miners in Cameroon to present the new union to their compatriots. The new association led by Lu Jian Feng is to work for the respect of their interest in the different mining sites as well as sensitise members to scrupulously respect the rules and regulations of the mining sector and Cameroon's State institutions. They said it will consolidate the peaceful coexistence of the people for their mutual development.
According to Hon. Parfait Gwodok Kouang, CEO of Cameroon-China Consulting Business House, working with Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the chamber serves as a link between Chinese investors in Cameroon and potential ones in China. He noted that it defends the interest of Chinese business people in Cameroon as well as work to facilitate administrative procedures for those existing or willing to invest in Cameroon.

Sometimes the UK get Japanese media long before North America, or which North America never gets. Along these lines, the UK's independent British distributors Third Window Films has licensed Lesson of Evil, prolific director Takashi Miike's (13 Assassins, live action Phoenix Wright) adaptation of the sociopath problem solver teacher novel from From the New World author Yūsuke Kishi. More after the jump.
Prolific director Miike Takashi made his name internationally with an adaptation of the Ichi the Killer manga, and manga adaptations have been a large part of his recent, prolific work, including last year's Ai to Makoto and this year's Mogura no Uta. His most recent project goes back to the medium with an adaptation of Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Akeji Fujimura's survival game series Kami-sama no Iutoori (As the God of Death Dictates) planned for 2014. More after the jump.
In late September we posted about Takashi Miike adapting Noboru Takahashi's long-running crime manga Mogura no Uta into a live-action film. Now the film's official website has a 90-second preview showing more of the prolific director's upcoming adaptation.
Prolific director Takashi Miike (remake 13 Assassins, manga based Ichi the Killer, anime based Yatterman) is back with another manga adaptation. Having turned 70's manga Ai to makoto into last year's bizarre dance musical, he's now adapting Noboru Takahashi's long running seinen crime manga Mogura no Uta (Mole's Song). Get a look after the jump.
In the 19th century, Yotsuya Kaidan was staged as a kabuki play along side the story of the 47 Ronin. The story of the vengeful spirit of a samurai's betrayed wife first became a movie in 1912, then was adapted about 18 times in the next two decades, and over 30 times to date. Takashi Miike (13 Assassins) has now taken on what's probably the most influential dead wet girl horror story. More after the jump.
Coming up this April on the ever packed schedule of prolific and often trangressive director Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, Ichi the Killer) is Straw Shield. The film follows what happens when pretty much all of Japan tries to kill a man, played by Tatsuya Fujiwara (Death Note's Light). More after the jump.
In the year that Takashi Miike made his critically acclaimed remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 13 Assassins, he also directed a 3D remake of Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 film Hara-Kiri. The film, nominated for the prestigious Palme d'Or Award at the Cannes Film Festival, is now coming to DVD and Blu-ray via New Video Group on January 22nd. More after the jump.
It's definitely a big autumn for adaptations of Yūsuke Kishi novels. While his From the New World becomes a sci-fi anime this October, the acclaimed and prolific Takashi Miike (13 Assassins, live action Phoenix Wright) brings Kishi's warped story of a would be great teacher, Lesson of the Evil, to Japanese theaters on November 10th. Get a new look after the jump.
After telling a story about teens in his recent romance musical adaptation of period manga For Love's Sake, prolific director Takashi Miike is following the age group into darker territory with his new adaptation of Yusuke Kishi's novel about a pyschopath teacher who starts solving a school's problems by murdering its students, Lesson of the Evil. See a new teaser trailer after the jump.
After making his renowned samurai epic 13 Assassins, filmmaker Takashi Miike quickly returned to the period with Ninja Kids!!! for the youngsters and the far more serious Hara-Kiri for older fans. The latter has finally seen its anticipated North American release, launching on Video on Demand today and hitting theaters (in 3D) on July 20. Check out Crunchyroll News' exclusive early look after the jump.
Whether it's anime, martial arts, comedy, something new or something uniqe, the 2012 New York Asian Film Festival looks like it'll offer the thrills and marvels that have come to be expected from the top notch event. This year, they'll be screening dead fish horror anime Gyo, Keiichi Satou's (Tiger & Bunny) adaptation of cannibalism manga Asura and Takashi Miike's Ace Attorney. See the butt-kicking trailer after the the jump.
In the year that Takashi Miike made his critically acclaimed remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 13 Assassins, he also directed a 3D remake of Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 film Hara-Kiri. The latter is now scheduled to hit the North American iTunes store on July 17th, then open in theaters on the 20th. Get a look at the local trailer after the jump.

Despite the laws that are already in place, experts say regulations need to be even stricter, including the outright ban supported by advocacy organizations. Parents and children need to be better educated about the dangers of tanning, because it seems that message isn't getting through.
"Melanoma and other skin cancers, including squamous cell cancers are on the rise in children," said Dr. James Fahner, division chief, pediatric hematology/oncology at Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich. "The science is unequivocal. This is high-risk behavior for kids."
Tanning may not be harmful right away, but its effects can be devastating later on.
"It's cumulative, continuous exposure that's harmful," said Fahner.
Experts say not everyone who tans will get skin cancer, and the risk of developing it varies from person to person. But they say they cannot overstress the dangers of indoor tanning.
"If you start tanning at a young age, you're going to increase your risk of cancer," said Dr. Joshua Zeichner, director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.
"We need to better educate parents and teens about the dangers of these places," said Dr. Sophie Balk, an attending pediatrician at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York. Balk helped write the American Academy of Pediatrics statement supporting a ban on teen tanning. "I don't think parents are educated enough, because most parents , if they knew about it, would not allow their kids to have this exposure."
Balk also said the government needs to treat tanning the same way as another dangerous underage activity.
"We should think about tanning laws the same way we think about smoking laws," she said.
The study authors also say that parents can help lower their child's risk for developing skin cancer by avoiding tanning salons themselves, not allowing their children to go, prohibiting their children from using their allowance for tanning or speaking out in favor of better laws.
"This study is similar to previous studies that have been performed that have shown that parents significantly influence their children's behaviors," said Zeichner, who is also a spokesperson for the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Societal attitudes about beauty also play a role in many young people's desire to have darker skin at any cost.
"It's also a cultural belief that being tan is healthy and it looks better, but in fact it's not healthy. You get DNA damage when you tan, which is not healthy," said Balk.
Part of the reason adolescents may not heed repeated warnings is because they are just being typical teenagers who believe they are invincible.
"They're going to assume it doesn't apply to them. They assume they're young and healthy and have nothing to worry about."
That's exactly what Kelly Wiley thought, too.
"I never thought it would happen to me. I even went tanning right after I had my biopsy," she said. "Well, it can happen, and it does happen."

Piece of Cake...Literally
By FoxxFireArt 15 Comments
Another Art
I thought I would share with everyone a few select pictures of some of the cakes that I make. On top of graphic art design that I do. I am also to main cook and baker for my family. Which makes the holidays and very busy time for me. I also have some very special desert recipes that I have made that border on the addictive, but I don't think I'll go into that here.
How it Started
I really had no experience in decorating cakes before I started a few years ago. Didn't have much of a desire to do so either. It really started up a few years back when my elder cousin, Ryan, was having a birthday party for his daughter, Allison. She was turning two years old and the first girl born into the family since my mother. My cousin and his wife discovered early that same year that Allison had a dangerous allergy to peanuts. They nearly lost their daughter to it. Well, crisis was averted and she came out fine. Now it's something that is always on their mind. I heard about this after the fact, but on Allison's second birthday party they had to scrap the cake. Ryan's father-in-law had gone to the bakery to get the cake when they noticed the sign on the wall that was a warning that all baked goods either contained or had been cooked around peanuts. They couldn't take the risk so they had to get rid of the cake on her birthday.
I thought this was horrible and the next time I saw Ryan and his wife. I told them I would volunteer bake the cakes for them so they could be 100% sure that the cakes would be peanut free. The next year in April they had their second child's two year old birthday coming up and they took me up on the offer. They told me Jack wanted a Spider-man cake and I went with that design. This is the image of that cake:
This is two sheet cakes and both were flavored as pink-lemonade (I didn't pick it) and vanilla frosting. I had gone to a local cake decorating shop to get supplies. Piping all those webbing on the cake made my hand hurt. It was funny. I spent quite a few hours baking and decorating these. At the party, Jack was a bit too over excited about his cake. They held out the one of Spider-man's chest for him to blow the candles out on. With everyone watching. He took a breath, blew, and a huge slobber of spit oozed from his mouth on to the cake. Naturally, we served the second one to the guests at the party. After this day, it's becomes a tradition to tell Jack to swallow before he blows out the candle on his cake.
There have been several cakes throughout the past few years and they had another son. I don't pick the design. They tell me what the kids request and I make it. The cakes that have followed have been.
Allison -
Barbie / Ariel / Pumpkin
Jack -
Spider-man / Sponge Bob / Transformers
Ben -
Elmo / Boz the Bear
I'm not going to bother you with pictures of all these cakes. If you'd like to see them all you can visit my devArt page. http://foxxfireart.deviantart.com/gallery/#Cakes Over the yeas I have advanced in my skills. The Ariel cake was more like a sculpted bust of Ariel out of cake. I will share another image of the latest cake I have made for Jack. These two have more of a 'comic' theme to begin with.
This cake is the Transformers' Autobot Logo. It's two layers of chocolate Devil's Food cake with vanilla frosting at 12x12 inches. All the dark blue parts are actually carved trenches to give the cake a real 3-D feel. It was hell trying to ice in all those trenches. My symmetry was a bit off in a few segments. I had some cake left over from the carving of the angles in the jaw. I stuck those two pieces together to make a separate cake that I put Jack's name on it and they could put the candle in. I was told that at the party Jack wouldn't let his sister have any of this little cake. His sister was after it as well, despite there being plenty from this original cake.
I get quite a laugh out of the fact that the cake I spent hours baking and decorating fell in popularity to a small thing I threw together last minute. I'm pretty sure their parents appreciate not having to worry if a birthday cake may kill their daughter. Ryan and his wife breath easier and the kids still get to have nice cakes. That's at least three good deeds in a year. lol
Their daughter has had quite a rather disturbing habit the past few years. Ever since the Sponge Bob cake, she has taken to asking to eatting the part of the cake with the character's eyes. I've told my family that as long as Allison doesn't ask for a nice Chianti with her cake I believe we will be alright. Sadly, only my mother and Ryan's wife got that joke. I sincerely hope that the audience here fairs betters.
Unfortunately, since I pretty much just make cakes for these kids. I don't really get to experiment with favors. So far it's just been vanilla and chocolate cake the boys. Allison always asks for pink lemonade. I've really been interested in trying to develop my banana bread recipe into a cake with a butter cream frosting, sliced bananas and strawberries in the middle. I just lack any opportunity to try it. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

I've started my 05 in the lower 20's after sitting a few weeks with no problem. Full choke and hit the button. A friend has a 2012 and studded his tires last winter, drove it to work daily. Temps below 20 and 8" of snow some mornings.
I wouldn't worry about oil burning. Super easy to check oil, and I doubt you'll have a problem. If you do its kind of a project, but there are tons of resources online. There are many klrs with a lot of miles and no problem there. They do use a little bit of oil. Maybe every 1000 miles I go through 1/4th a quart.
I did the doo on mine. There are ways to get help with it, either here or elsewhere. The 08+ has a stronger doo, so its not quite as important.

Breast cancer is rare in men, but they fare worse
CHICAGO Men rarely get breast cancer, but those who do often don't survive as long as women, largely because they don't even realize they can get it and are slow to recognize the warning signs, researchers say.
On average, women with breast cancer lived two years longer than men in the biggest study yet of the disease in males.
The study found that men's breast tumors were larger at diagnosis, more advanced and more likely to have spread to other parts of the body. Men were also diagnosed later in life; in the study, they were 63 on average, versus 59 for women.
Many men have no idea that they can get breast cancer, and some doctors are in the dark, too, dismissing symptoms that would be an automatic red flag in women, said study leader Dr. Jon Greif, a breast cancer surgeon in Oakland, Calif.
The American Cancer Society estimates 1 in 1,000 men will get breast cancer, versus 1 in 8 women. By comparison, 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men.
"It's not really been on the radar screen to think about breast cancer in men," said Dr. David Winchester, a breast cancer surgeon in NorthShore University HealthSystem in suburban Chicago who was not involved in the study. Winchester treats only a few men with breast cancer each year, compared with at least 100 women.
The researchers analyzed 10 years of national data on breast cancer cases, from 1998 to 2007. A total of 13,457 male patients diagnosed during those years were included, versus 1.4 million women. The database contains about 75 percent of all U.S. breast cancer cases.
The men who were studied lived an average of about eight years after being diagnosed, compared with more than 10 years for women. The study doesn't indicate whether patients died of breast cancer or something else.
Greif prepared a summary of his study for presentation Friday at a meeting of American Society of Breast Surgeons in Phoenix.
Dr. Akkamma Ravi, a breast cancer specialist at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, said the research bolsters results in smaller studies and may help raise awareness. Because the disease is so rare in men, research is pretty scant, and doctors are left to treat it the same way they manage the disease in women, she said.
Some doctors said one finding in the study suggests men's breast tumors might be biologically different from women's: Men with early-stage disease had worse survival rates than women with early-stage cancer. But men's older age at diagnosis also might explain that result, Greif said.
The causes of breast cancer in men are not well-studied, but some of the same things that increase women's chances for developing it also affect men, including older age, cancer-linked gene mutations, a family history of the disease, and heavy drinking.
There are no formal guidelines for detecting breast cancer in men. The American Cancer Society says routine, across-the-board screening of men is unlikely to be beneficial because the disease is so rare.

Bus driver being questioned after students stomp younger child
A Florida bus driver may find himself in trouble after a fight broke out on his bus last month.
Three kids were seen beating up on another student while the driver John Moody did little to intervene.
Moody called dispatch more than once verifying the address and saying, "you all better hurry, I got a fight and I need help in a hurry. ... They are about to beat this boy to death, please get someone here in a hurry. I've done all I can do."
Moody could face child neglect charges from the state's attorney office.
The three boys were arrested for assault.
The sixth-grader had two black eyes and a broken arm.

Ready to leave the old time
North Korea wants to follow China's path. But will George W Bush let it do so? Glyn Ford reports
North Korea wants to follow China's path. But will George W Bush let it do so? Glyn Ford reports
by Glyn Ford Published
In the middle of Pyongyang's high- rise apartments, the Tong-il market is buzzing. Thousands of North Koreans haggle and buy goods. On offer are fresh meat and dried fish, Spanish oranges and North African dates, suits, skirts, shoes, light bulbs, computer parts - and embroidered armbands that declare the wearer an engine driver, controller of machines or captain of guards.
This is a country where one in eight people (three million) died in a famine just a few years ago. The People's Distribution Centres, it was recognised, could no longer provide for the population's basic needs, particularly in the urban areas. As a result, there emerged farmers' markets, barely tolerated by the authorities and well off-limits to foreigners, where food was traded for cash or kind.
Since then the climate has changed. Kim Jong-il, North Korea's leader, toured China in May 2000 and January 2001 to view the economic miracle. He has seen the future and its works. "We should transcend the old working style and fixed economic framework of other countries in old time," came the order - showing that North Korea is ready to break with Soviet-style state socialism and to learn from other countries.
North Korea wants to leap several stages of technology and move straight to IT. Elite institutions such as the Moranbong Secondary School No. 1 are training groups of outstanding students in computer skills. Small business is everywhere and the volume of consumer goods is increasing; the urban centres have a litter of new stalls on their streets and every mile or so, even on rural roads, they make a colourful appearance.
However, at least for a while, this will be a market without privatisation. As the vice-chairman of the state planning commission explained, the state will continue to own the means of production. But the people to whom it lends the factories, the co-operative farms and so on will have a responsibility to maximise profitability from the enterprises. How the profits are to be used is less clear. Spending in Tong-il suggests an emerging middle class.
North Korea has bought into reform but has not matched it with Chinese-style openness. One reason is that, with President Bush's "axis of evil" label tied around its neck, it cannot attract inward investment from any but the most buccaneering chancers, or South Korean "family". Too much money is chasing too few goods. Inflation runs at 30 per cent and rather than stimulating indigenous production North Korea is sucking in imports.
In July 2002, a monetary reform packaged devalued the won fortyfold and raised wages by a similar proportion. But wages were also more sharply differentiated to provide incentives. So North Korea is now in danger of creating an underclass of roughly three million people. This underclass will find it increasingly difficult to survive. Coal miners, if they achieve their targets, may earn 10,000 won per month; workers in the service sector get 2,000 won. The minimum wage for a family of four, in which both parents are working, is roughly 4,000 won; it needs about 90kg of rice to survive for a month. Families can buy at most 45kg of rice at 45 won/kg, through the People's Distribution Centres. The current "market" price is 90 won/kg. In effect, a family needs 6,075 won per month just to survive; the minimum family income is thus one-third below the minimum level it requires for survival. Pork - rarely available from the distribution centres at the official price of 75 won/kg - is sold on the market at 400 won. People get by on family or international aid, or by resorting to Korea's traditional substitute - a mixture of tree bark, roots and cabbage.
The country also suffers woefully from energy shortages, made worse by Bush's decision to suspend delivery of 500,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil per year, pledged as part of the framework agreement between the US and North Korea in 1994. Now, in most rural areas, power flows for three or four hours per day - it used to be 12 - in temperatures that often drop as low as minus 40 C during winter. In Pyongyang, however, the lights remain on.
North Korea has another problem. In areas such as South Pyongan Province, to the north of Pyongyang, there is a shortage of workers for this year's harvest. They are all down with malaria. Climatic conditions in 1998 led to small outbreaks of the disease in China and both Koreas. In central China and South Korea it was rapidly brought under control. But North Korea has no insecticide, no drugs and no equipment - one Chinese expert reported that when he arrived all that was available was a single Russian microscope from the 1940s. The disease spiralled out of control. Now 300,000 people are infected with a relapsing malaria that lays victims low for months on end, returning repeatedly. Most are agricultural workers, who get infected while sleeping out in the fields. Consequently, portions of this year's better-than-average harvest, born of early rain and an extended summer, will rot in the fields and do nothing to ease the crisis.
North Korea's future does not lie entirely in its own hands. It will be determined largely by its neighbours and by post-9/11 global politics. The country can be driven into a corner - though not to collapse - by a US administration that prefers regime change to a changing regime.
But equally - with the help of its neighbours and the European Union, which Pyongyang sees as the only power capable of checking the US - there is every chance that North Korea could follow China, emerge from isolation, and join the rest of the world to play its own special role.

Tales of Hoffman (Opera)
Editorial Staff • West End • 5 Mar 1998
The problems in mounting a production of Offenbach's only attempt at grand opera are numerous. No definitive edition of The Tales of Hoffman exists as Offenbach tinkered with the score right up to the first performance. He died before completing the work so much of the material is in sketch form only and is as such unfinished.
ENO opts for Michael Kaye's critical edition which first received an airing in Los Angeles in 1998. This makes for a long evening in the theatre (just under four hours) and, whilst I can appreciate why ENO wanted to do it, on the first night the decision was not wholly vindicated.
Most of the disappointment has to be laid at the feet of director Graham Vick who seems to direct most of the show on autopilot. There are some good stage pictures within Tobias Hoheisel's boxed set but most, alas, are tired old operatic clichés. Vick never ceases to baffle me; how can a director who delivers such epoch-making productions as Die Meistersinger, Un Re in Ascolto and Mitridate (ROH) and Ermione, Queen of Spades (Glyndebourne) then produce something as mundane as this?
Musically, The Tales of Hoffman is a mixed bag. Paul Daniel conducts with an obvious love for the piece and the orchestra responds with excellently drilled playing. The Barcarole which precedes the Venice Act is beautifully realised. Indeed, I thought it one of the best parts of the evening, and as this takes place with the curtain down, it produces real theatrical frisson which is lacking when the curtain is up.
The show is cast from strength but Rosa Mannion's singing in all four soprano roles sets alarm bells ringing about the state of her current vocal health. She sounds tired and raw, and is simply not up to the dazzling coloratura of the role of Olympia. She improves greatly as the more lyrical Antonia and sings well as Giulietta, but in each role, top notes are effortful and ugly. (She withdrew from the second performance due to a chest infection so perhaps her singing on the first night was down to this).
The Australian tenor Julian Gavin's singing is coming on leaps and bounds and he makes a thrilling role debut in the title part. Despite his desperate attempts to get under the skin of the character, however, ultimately I was left wondering just who Hoffmann is. The evening's best singing comes from Susan Parry as Nicklausse.
First nights can be so frustrating. The Tales of Hoffman needs time to run and, if Mannion can overcome her first night difficulties, it should develop into a good, if vacuous, night at the opera.
