It was the ultimate bromance: Two Pennsylvania men spent most of March sending each other constant text messages. In the end, more than 217,000 messages were sent and one of the friends ended up with a $26,300 bill.
"It pretty much started as a joke. I don't personally really like texting all that much," said Nick Andes, 29, who lives in Lancaster.
Andes and his friend Doug Klinger, 30, thought nothing of the messages. They both have unlimited text plans as part of their cell phone package. Who says you can't have too much technology?
"He would text me in the morning, sometimes I wouldn't respond. So he would just send over a whole bunch of text messages and I would get irritated with it so I would send back as many as I felt like sending, just to try and irritate him," said Andes, a messenger and title clerk who loads trucks for UPS in the morning.

Then the two friends wondered what the world record for texting was and if they could beat it. A quick Internet search found a record of 182,000 messages sent in 2005 Deepak Sharma in India.
During a few test days in February, Andes and Klinger got up to 6,000 or 7,000 messages a day. That's when they knew it was possible to break the record. Once Andes' new billing cycle started on March 7, they started typing away.
"It was all legitimate words and stuff but it was all nonsense," Klinger said. "A lot of times it was 'hey what's up,' 'how are you doing,' 'what's up,' 'hahaha,' 'lol,' over and over again."
On a typical day, the two men would exchange 8,000 to 10,000 messages. The count would have been higher if they hadn't taken off a few days.
"We went over 12,000 a couple of days. I'm pretty sure we could do 15,000 a day and we may have," Andes said, noting that he wasn't about to count all the messages sent on a particular day.
The finally tally on his bill from T-Mobile: 217,033 text messages. He sent 142,000 and received 75,000 from Klinger, who works as a screen printer.
So what about that bill?
It was so big that it came in a box. T-Mobile spent $27.55 to send the box to Andes.
"We joked and joked and joked and then I was like: I better open this up and make sure it's not a bill," Andes said.
Turns out it was one big bill: $26,300, despite the unlimited text plan.
"They basically said, when they set up their computer system they had to put in a maximum value and they put in 99,999. Within reason, that should never be exceeded. And apparently it had never been exceeded before," Andes said, adding that the company assured him it would waive the fee.
"T-Mobile is committed to delivering the best possible customer experience in wireless," T-Mobil told ABC News in an e-mailed statement. "To help protect our customers, we investigate extreme usage patterns, particularly with text messaging, as that may be an indication of fraud and/or spamming. It appears Mr. Andes' activities do not fall into that category. His account has been credited for the amount in question. We hope he and his thumbs will be able to get some rest following his experiment."
The two college friends, who also run a T-shirt business together on the side, did find some problems from their constant texting.

GEA Searle are committed to supplying our customers with the RIGHT PRODUCT at the RIGHT QUALITY at the RIGHT PRICE.
The Searle story started in 1921when Searle Radiators was founded in London by the late Mr. Charles Searle, who together with his twelve employees, manufactured radiators and oil coolers for the motor industry. The Second World War brought about a major change and an increased in the variety of products manufactured, the majority of which were used by the Royal Air Force.
Charles Searle had a motor accident in which he damaged his car's radiator. Frustrated at being unable to get it repaired or replaced easily, he founded "The Searle Radiator Company Limited" in London's Camden Town and employed 12 people.
Increasing demand for aircraft prior to the second world war led Charles Searle to diversify and "Searle Aircraft Sheet Metalwork Limited (London) was formed. The business flourished and was extended in London into 3 other premises and in 1938 a factory was opened in Quay Street, Fareham, to deal with aircraft radiator repairs. "Searle Aircraft Radiator Repairs Limited (Fareham)" was formed in this year. It was either a fortuitous or far sighted decision because between 1939 and 1945 the Fareham works was very busy.
The outbreak of war brought major changes and there was a huge increase in the variety of products manufactured, the majority of which were used by the RAF. At this time the Company also had a plant in Emsworth.
by 1940 "Searle Radiators and Refrigeration Limited" was born.
Charles Searle's Son, Leslie Searle, took over the reins in 1950. With a good reputation and almost 30 years experience, Searle diversified into the refrigeration industry by making parts for domestic refrigerators.
With Searle's continuing success they won the exclusive rights to manufacture and market Bush Refrigeration equipment throughout Europe and Africa, from Dunham-Bush Inc of West Hartford, USA.
1959 the Company changed its name to "Searle Manufacturing Company Limited" and had outgrown the London factory. The London premises closed and the company consolidated its activities on the 21 acre site south of Fareham where it still remains. During the 60's another Bush product range was added. These were the air handling units for air conditioning which extended Searle's activities into quite different fields.
Having established the Company's reputation in the refrigeration industry, the family company was sold to the Hall-Thermotank Group on the 28 December 1962.
Searle had now taken the lead in the production of heat exchanger equipment for 'air side' products used in the Refrigeration and Air Conditioning industries. Having become a proven success story, Searle became the target for corporate takeovers.
On the 12 May 1976, the Company was acquired by Prestcold Limited (a British Leyland Company).
Acquisition of the Parent Company, Prestcold, by Suter plc on 1 April 1981 under the ownership of David Abell.
In August of this year Suter plc was acquired by Ascot plc under the ownership of Howard Dyer
The Ascot Group was acquired by Dow Chemicals on 1st June. A year later the Searle company was re-acquired by Howard Dyer. The name changed to ICG (UK) Limited on the 25 July 2002 but the 'Searle' trading name remained.
Searle was acquired by the GEA Group in December 2008. The name changed to GEA Searle Ltd with effect fromn 21 December
Searle strives to have the most comprehensive Research and Development facilities in the British refrigeration industry.
In addition to developing new products lines, the company can undertake special projects on behalf of customers. A high level of expertise and sophisticated test equipment ensure that the most demanding specifications are met. Searle supplies its products for a wide range of industries. Our products are found in:
Close links are maintained with Standard authorities in the UK and abroad and Searle is represented on the boards or committees of all major consultative bodies with relevance to the refrigeration industry. Searle 's commitment to technological innovation is exemplified by the degree of automation throughout the business. A network of computer added design (CAD) coordinates the activities of the engineering, production, customer service and accounting functions in such a way that customers effectively control the activity of the factory
Efficient and environment friendly technology enables ground breaking 100kW condensing units from Searle Manufacturing Company to deliver a potentially greener cooling solution supermarket food halls.
The new cascade units – which use either HFC or HC with carbon dioxide as refrigerants – are among the most powerful for any commercial supermarket application in the UK. They are being rolled out to sites as to establish the group's future policy on refrigeration and choice of refrigerants. The Searle CCU-100-ECI-CO2HC Cascade units, typically roof-mounted, chill and circulate CO2 to maintain cool temperatures and protect food products in the retail display cabinets on the shop floor.
Cascade systems were developed to keep capital and operating costs within the range of comparable 'standard' systems – but with a reduced environmental risk because CO2 occurs naturally.
With a similar power requirement to a Searle standard CCU R404A system of equal capacity, a CO2 Cascade unit would have minimal impact on the environment should a release of refrigerant occur – equal to just 0.38 tons of CO2.
Searle turns the spotlight on improved energy efficiency, quieter operation and greater durability in its range of coolers and condensing units for refrigeration along the food chain. Searle shows how the latest technology gives its systems for agricultural, industrial and retail refrigeration the edge in economical on-the-job performance – and end-of-life recyclability.
The new generation of Searle equipment features EC fansets which produce energy savings of up to 50%, new fan designs to improve airflow and reduce noise, and advanced coatings that ensure a full life expectancy – even in the harshest climates. At the same time, Searle is moving towards greener refrigerants and unit designs that make it easier to separate the various metal and other components for recycling when the units are eventually replaced.

Re: Changing Tracks with Classroom Game Design
It might be useful to start at the beginning.
Space: safe, comfortable, contemplative, learning spaces. Schools (despite everything else, and all the misgivings) currently provide this.
I am lucky, I can create learning and contemplative space all over the place. So can just about everybody reading this sentence, no?
This just isn't true for many children.
Forget the fancies for a moment, start, if you like, with one of Mitra's Holes in the Wall, but put some safe space around it - add a few key humans, some granny clouds, places to sit, to write things down - and not only in online repositories. Free paper and pens, 'lockers' too.
Private spaces, within public provision.
Its not a big ask. Take the school as a safe learning space, and work with it, create the new template. Many people in these forums, and Mitra in particular, have already done the spade work. Collaboration, sure, connectivity and networking, sure, but from my own base-station/space, please. Not floating in some hypothetical, totally unattainable middle-class virtual space, if the argument is not clear enough.
For instance: a learning space consisting of real materials to work with, a touch table interface (for fun, games, collaboration, sharing, building, knowledge creation), OPC computers with wifi links, humans in attendance (preferably linked to non-virtual apprentice/placement sites for embodied and embedded learning), virtual and physical granny clouds (in various guises), places to sit, write, talk, get together, consult, support, lockers for stuff), a roof, walls, windows, water and electricity.
The virtual in service to the material, not the other way round. The task is not to discuss the world, but to make it work (for everyone, for a change). Zaha Hadid's BMW HQ as an example of the integration of research, design and production.
Oh, yes, and clear route maps to progression to further learning and employment. [Comment] [Permalink]

DURHAM, N.H. - The University of New Hampshire men's basketball team will attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this season, as well as its first road game of the year, when it meets Hofstra University at the Mack Sports Complex on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 4 p.m. The game will be aired live on Verizon FiOS1 TV, which is available on Long Island and in New Jersey. Links to live audio and video, as well as live stats, will be available at www.UNHWildcats.com.
The Wildcats and Pride meet for the 20th time ever in the history of the two programs, with Hofstra leading the all-time series, 13-6. The Pride have won 10 straight against the Wildcats, a streak that spans nearly 13 years. The last UNH win came in a 51-50 victory Dec. 8, 1996 at Lundholm Gymnasium. Hofstra has won eight of nine at home against the Wildcats, including six straight, with UNH's last win in Hempstead coming Nov. 27, 1994 in a 104-97 victory. In the most recent meeting, Hofstra knocked off UNH, 62-57 at Lundholm on Dec. 27, 2008.
Sophomore forward Rony Tchatchoua tied his career high with 17 points and sophomore center Dane DiLiegro registered his first double-double of the season to lead the 'Cats.
With the loss, the Wildcats fell to 3-7 on the season, while the Pride improved to 8-3.
Tchatchoua, the America East Player of the Game, was a perfect 6 of 6 from the field and added four rebounds, while DiLiegro recorded 10 points and 11 rebounds for the second double-double of his career.
Trailing 51-49 with 5:50 to go in the game, the Wildcats tied it up on DiLiegro's put-back dunk off a missed layup. Hofstra moved back in front by two on Charles Jenkins' jumper, but DiLiegro answered with another monster dunk to tie the game at 53 with 4:38 left. DiLiegro moved the Wildcats in front by two with a pair of free throws at the four-minute mark before a pair of Hofstra free throws knotted the game at 55.
Two more free throws from sophomore guard Tyrone Conley gave UNH its two-point cushion back before the Pride cut it in half with a free throw. A Hofstra jumper with 2:31 remaining put the Pride in front, 58-57. That would be the last bucket of the game for either side, as Hofstra closed the scoring with four free throws.
After a slow start that saw Hofstra begin the game on a 17-1 run, including 14 unanswered points, the Wildcats used a 15-1 run – sparked by an Alvin Abreu 3-pointer from the left wing at 11:37 – to climb back into the game. The remainder of the half was a back-and-forth affair that ended with Hofstra leading 30-24. Freshman forward Brian Benson would provide the late spark for the Wildcats as he scored all five of his first-half points in the final two minutes of play, including his first career 3-pointer. Benson finished with a career-high seven points.
The Wildcats came out in the second half torching the nets as they went on a 16-4 run out of the gate in the first seven minutes of play. A 3-pointer by junior guard Colbey Santos, with 12:48 left, capped the run and gave UNH its largest lead of the game at 40-34. The Wildcats led 47-43 with just under nine minutes left when Hofstra used an 8-2 run to grab a 51-49 lead with 6:08 left in the game.
Senior guard Tyrece Gibbs tallied eight points, six rebounds and two assists, while reaching a handful of milestones. Gibbs also recorded a career-high four steals and tied a career high with three blocks. Gibbs posted his 200th career assist and also moved into ninth place on UNH's all-time blocks list with 45 to become just the fourth Wildcat in history to amass 1,000 points, 200 assists and 45 blocks. Gibbs, who finished with 1,020 points, moved past Marcus Bullock (1,015) and Eric Thielen (1,019) for 22nd on UNH's all-time scoring list. The co-captain also moved into a third-place tie with Blagoj Janev on UNH's all-time 3-point field goals made list (172) with his lone trey of the game.
The Wildcats were outshot 35 percent (18-52) to 34 percent (20-59), but outscored Hofstra in the paint, 24-14.
The Pride were led by Greg Washington, who tallied 13 points and seven rebounds. Charles Jenkins also contributed by adding 12 points.
Junior Alvin Abreu poured in a season-high 25 points as the Wildcats earned a 67-55 win against Central Connecticut State University on Dec. 9 at Lundholm Gymnasium.
The Wildcats evened their record at 3-3, including a perfect 3-0 at home, while the Blue Devils fell to 2-5.
Abreu, UNH's America East Player of the Game, broke out on 9 of 14 shooting, including 4 of 7 from behind the arc, and was 3-for-4 at the line to go along with three assists, two rebounds and a steal in 36 minutes.
After Central Connecticut started the game on a 7-2 run, the Wildcats came back with a 9-2 run of their own - with seven points coming from Abreu - to take an 11-9 lead at 15:09. Senior Radar Onguetou sparked the run with a tough layup inside after Abreu found him with a great pass exactly three minutes earlier.
The Blue Devils hit back with a basket to tie the game at 11 and the remainder of the half went back and forth, with neither team grabbing a lead larger than three until there were under two minutes on the clock.
With the game knotted - for the fifth time - at 25 with 2:50 remaining, UNH took the lead for good when Onguetou reeled in an offensive rebound and layed the ball in. CCSU shaved the deficit in half with a free throw from David Simmons, but junior guard Tyrone Conley sank a 3 to give the Wildcats a 30-26 lead with 1:44 to go. Vince Rosario came right back with a 3 of his own, but Abreu nailed another jumper with 52 seconds on the clock to close the scoring and give the 'Cats a 32-29 lead at the half. Abreu had a monster opening half with 16 of his game-high 25 points coming on 6 of 8 shooting, including 3 of 5 from deep.
UNH opened the second half with
seven straight points to take a 39-29 advantage 3:07 in. After the
Blue Devils cut their deficit to five, Conley sank a trey and Abreu
made another jumper to re-gain the 10-point lead at 44-34 with
10:59 remaining. Following a Joe Seymore free throw, Conley pushed
the lead to 11 after taking a pass from sophomore Russell Graham on
the fast break and throwing it down with one hand over a Central
Connecticut defender. Graham handed out five assists and added six
points, three rebounds, a block and a steal.
Radar Onguetou
A 9-3 CCSU run - sparked by a Shemik Thompson basket and capped by a Thompson 3-pointer - made it 48-42 with 6:44 to go. The Blue Devils would get as close as 49-44, but Conley and Abreu drilled 3-pointers to cap an 8-0 run that made it 57-44 with 3:41 left. Central Connecticut used a 9-4 spurt to climb to within eight, but UNH scored six straight, getting its exclamation point from a Dane DiLiegro double-pump dunk after he slipped ahead of the pack and took a feed from Conley that gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the night at 67-53 with 35 seconds on the clock.
Conley finished with 16 points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal, but busted out in the second stanza with 13 points after he shot 3 of 5 from the floor, including a perfect 2-for-2 from deep, and made five of his six shots at the stripe. Onguetou matched his season high with 12 points to go along with six rebounds, while DiLiegro tallied eight points, three boards and two assists in 40 minutes.
After a defensive struggle in their previous game against the Big East's Pitt, the Wildcats came out on fire and stayed hot throughout the game as they shot 50 percent (23-46) from the field, including 42.9 percent (9-21) from behind the arc. The 'Cats, who held the Blue Devils to 41.2 percent (21-51) shooting overall, and just 27.8 percent (5-18) from deep, were also a season-best 75 percent (12-16) at the line. UNH held the advantage on the glass, as well, outrebounding CCSU, 32-23.
Thompson led Central Connecticut with 20 points on 7 of 16 shooting, while Seymore added 10 in defeat.
Junior Alvin Abreu erupted for a season-high 25 points in the Wildcats' 67-55 win against Central Connecticut State on Dec. 9. The total was Abreu's second highest of his career and most since he dropped 28 on Santa Clara at Lundholm Gymnasium on Jan. 4, 2009.
After a defensive struggle in their previous game at Pitt in which the Wildcats scored 32 points, they came in on fire versus Central Connecticut State and stayed hot throughout the game. The 'Cats set season highs in shooting percentage from the field (.500), behind the arc (.429) and at the line (.750).
The Wildcats have built on their solid defensive year a season ago and have only allowed 60 or more points in a game twice – to then 25th-ranked Maryland and 7-2 Harvard, which is averaging 76.9 points per game and has wins at Boston College and Boston University, as well as a six-point loss at 13th-ranked UConn. The 'Cats, who held the Big East's Pitt to 47 points Dec. 4, are tied for the league lead in scoring defense at 60.8 ppg. UNH also is tops in the conference in 3-point field goal percentage defense at 27.7 percent – 5.6 percent better than the next closest mark.
A combination of taking care of the ball and forcing turnovers, has placed the Wildcats third in the conference in turnover margin (+1.0). Only twice have the 'Cats coughed the ball up more than their opponent, and their defense is tied for second in the conference in forced turnovers per game (15.7). Sophomore Russell Graham also ranks second in the league in assist-to-turnover ratio at (+2.4).
Dating back to the end of last season, the Wildcats have won six consecutive games at home, which is tied for the second longest streak since the 1960-61 season. If the 'Cats are victorious in their next game at home, only one time in the last 49 years will they have won more home games in a row. UNH won 12 straight games at Lundholm from Nov. 30, 1982-Jan. 2, 1984. The program then recorded six straight home W's from Nov. 25, 1997-Jan. 10, 1998 before the current streak that began Feb. 18, 2009.
The Wildcats have started out the season 3-0 at home for the first time since the 2004-05 season. The last time they started out 4-0 at home was the 1968-69 season when the 'Cats won their first five games in Durham.
Heading into tonight's contest UNH has recorded at least one 3-pointer in 529 consecutive games, a streak that spans 17 years. The last time the 'Cats did not tally a trey was in a 59-47 loss to Dartmouth College on Jan. 8, 1991, when they were 0-for-3 from behind the arc. The NCAA record is currently 745 games by UNLV, a streak that started Nov. 26, 1986 and is still active.
Senior Radar Onguetou is leading the Wildcats in 3-point shooting after sinking 50 percent (9-18) of his attempts. Onguetou came into the season a career 20 percent (9-45) shooter from long range.
The combined record of the three teams UNH has lost to this season is 19-7 (.731). The Wildcats have suffered all of their defeats on the road at Maryland (5-3), Harvard (7-2) and Pitt (7-2).
UNH is ranked within the top 100 teams in the country in a trio of categories. The Wildcats are 34th in 3-point field goal defense (.276), 63rd in scoring defense (62.0 ppg) and 96th in turnover margin (2.0). Individually, Russell Graham is 53rd in assist-to-turnover ratio (2.63) and Dane DiLiegro is 80th in rebounding (8.6 rpg).
Coming into the season, Bill Herrion owned a 115-67 (.632) record against the Wildcats' 2009-10 opponents.
In their 47-32 loss Dec. 4, the Wildcats held Pitt to its lowest scoring output since March 10, 2007 when Georgetown only allowed 42 points in a 65-42 win against the Panthers in the Big East title game at Madison Square Garden. Against UNH, Pitt was held scoreless for the first 5:15 of the game, did not convert its first field goal until 6:37 in, and went 15:30 before grabbing its first lead.
Freshman Myrick scored a career-high 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting, including 1 of 1 from behind the arc, in a career-high 18 minutes against the Big East's Pitt on Dec. 4.
Junior Dane DiLiegro was named America East Player of the Week for the period ending Nov. 29, the conference announced Nov. 30.
DiLiegro earned the first weekly conference honor of his career after averaging 18.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game in a 78-60 loss at Harvard on Nov. 25, as well as a 72-58 victory at home versus Marist on Nov. 28. DiLiegro also shot 50 percent (15-30) from the field and 78 percent (7-9) at the line in the two games.
At Harvard, DiLiegro posted a solid performance of 10 points and eight rebounds before exploding against Marist. DiLiegro scored a career-high 27 points on 11 of 19 shooting from the floor and 5 of 5 shooting at the line, while pulling down eight boards. DiLiegro had matched his career best after just 14 first-half minutes, and was single-handedly outscoring Marist at the break, 21-20.
Junior Dane DiLiegro scored a career-high 27 points as he was 11-for-19 from the floor and made all five of his free throws in a season-high 34 minutes against Marist on Nov. 28, making him the first Wildcat to record that many baskets in a game since Blagoj Janev was a perfect 11-for-11 from the field en route to 31 points against Vermont on Jan. 9, 2007. The 11 field goals marked the second time in his career that DiLiegro converted 10 or more field goals, as he knocked down 10 shots when he set his previous career best of 21 points Feb. 19 of last season versus Maine. The 27 points is also the most for a Wildcat since classmate Alvin Abreu netted 28 against Santa Clara on Jan. 4 of last season.
By defeating Marist, 72-58, Nov. 28, head coach Bill Herrion recorded his 47th victory at UNH and moved into fifth on the school's all-time wins list, passing Gib Chapman, who won 46 games in four seasons from 1992-96. Herrion moved past Phil Rowe, who won 45 games in six seasons from 1999-05, with his 91-45 win against Suffolk on Nov. 14, and now trails only Gerry Friel (188), William Cowell (119), Henry Swasey (108) and Bill Olsen (60) in the record books.
Senior Radar Onguetou scored 11 points and tied his career high with 12 rebounds against Marist on Nov. 28 to record his second career double-double. Onguetou's first double-double came at UMBC on Jan. 25, 2007 when he recorded the same 11 points and 12 rebounds.
Against Marist on Nov. 28, a trio of Wildcats submitted three of the best performances in America East this season. Junior Dane DiLiegro poured in a career-high 27 points, the most in the conference at the time. Senior Radar Onguetou matched his career best by grabbing 12 rebounds, which tied for the third best mark in the league. Sophomore Russell Graham surpassed his previous career high by handing out seven assists, the fourth best America East mark on the year at the time.
Senior Colbey Santos picked up where he left off last season in the America East semifinal against Binghamton when he netted a career-high 17 points on 4 of 5 shooting from behind the arc. In the season opener against Suffolk on Nov. 14, Santos scored 10 points, before netting 14 points at 25th-ranked Maryland on Nov. 20. The three-game double-digit scoring streak is the longest of Santos' career and also matches the number of games Santos recorded 10 or more points in the previous 86 games of his career.
In the Wildcats' 82-55 loss at 25th-ranked Maryland on Nov. 20, the 27-point deficit was the Terps' smallest margin of victory of the season to that point.
In the Wildcats' 82-55 loss at 25th-ranked Maryland on Nov. 20, sophomore point guard Russell Graham grabbed a game-high and career-best eight rebounds. Graham, who measures an even 6-feet tall, was the only player under 6-2 to play in the game.
Freshman Chandler Rhoads was named America East Rookie of the Week for the period ending Nov. 15 the conference announced Nov. 16.
Rhoads shined for the Wildcats in the first collegiate game of his career against Suffolk on Nov. 14 as he scored a game-high 14 points and added five assists, four steals and three rebounds in 23 minutes of action during UNH's 91-45 win at Lundholm Gymnasium.
Rhoads became just the fifth Wildcat since the awards' inception in 1983 to win it the first week of the season, joining Todd Black (Dec. 10, 1983), Joe Spitale (Dec. 5, 1988), Will Chavis (Nov. 22, 1998) and Chris Vetrano (Nov. 21, 2004). The point guard was also the first Wildcat to garner the honor since current junior Alvin Abreu on Feb. 25, 2008.
Against Suffolk on Nov. 14, junior Dane DiLiegro pulled down 15 rebounds, which is the second highest total of his career.
Junior Alvin Abreu continued his pattern from last year of picking up his scoring in the second half. After going into the break with just two points against Suffolk on Nov. 14, Abreu came out and netted 10 in the second stanza to finish with 12. Abreu also added seven assists, five rebounds and three steals.
Sophomores Brian Benson and Russell Graham both set career highs versus Suffolk on Nov. 14. Benson scored a career-high nine points, while Graham dished out a then career-best six assists.
The Wildcats dished out an assist on 69 percent (22-32) of their baskets in their 91-45 win against Suffolk on Nov. 14. Last year the 'Cats assisted on 50 percent (323-647) of their buckets.
In their 91-45 win against Suffolk on Nov. 14, the Wildcats blocked six shots, including three by freshman big man Chris Matagrano.
Head coach Bill Herrion and his staff announced Nov. 11 that Scott Morris has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Wildcats and attend school next fall.
"One of our needs with this year's recruiting class was to get a 2-guard that can shoot the basketball," Herrion said. "Losing Colbey Santos after this year and Alvin Abreu and Tyrone Conley being seniors next year, we have to make sure we have depth at the shooting guard spot. Scott is a tough, athletic kid, who can really shoot the ball from the 3. He is a total student-athlete and we are very happy to have him here at UNH."
Morris, who is currently a senior at Walkersville High School, averaged 18.6 points, 6.3 rebounds. 6.6 assists and 2.0 steals per game last season as he led the Lions to the regional finals and an 18-7 record. Morris was named to the Frederick News Post All-County First Team, as well as the All-Gazette First Team, and was First Team All-Piedmont Division. As a sophomore, the 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pound guard averaged 13.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists as an All-Piedmont Division first teamer. The three-year starter and two-time team MVP also performs well off the court as he is the owner of a 4.0 grade-point-average, which ranks No. 1 in his class of 328.
Associate Head Coach Ken Dempsey will be blogging at various points of the season on College Chalktalk. To follow along with Dempsey's entries, click here.
In the summer of 1999, the University of New Hampshire Athletic Department formed the "UNH Sports Network" — the largest network ever to broadcast UNH sporting events. Wildcats Sports Properties has added WGIN-AM 930 (Rochester) and WQSO-FM 96.7 (Portsmouth) as flagship stations on the Wildcat Sports Network, joining WGIR-AM 610 (Manchester), which was added in 2008. All three stations are part of the Clear Channel family and this change will go into effect at the beginning of the 2009-10 season. These three aforementioned stations – along with WUVR-AM 1490 (Lebanon), WNTK-FM 99.7 (New London) and WCNL-AM 1010 (Newport) – will carry the following: all UNH football & men's hockey broadcasts and weekly coaches' shows, a select number of men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's hockey broadcasts, as well as "Wildcat Sports Today", a three-minute daily update concerning UNH athletics. The games can also be heard on the internet at www.UNHWildcats.com, through a service from Stretch Internet. Stretch has also partnered with UNH to develop a podcast page for UNH fans to listen to archived broadcasts. Veteran play-by-play man Jim Jeannotte will return for his 29th year broadcasting UNH men's basketball. Jeannotte will be joined by color analyst Mike Murphy, who enters his 10th season calling Wildcat men's hoop.
UNHWildcats.com, via Stretch Internet Broadcast, will carry 11 UNH men's basketball games, as well as a pair of road contests this season. If you cannot attend Wildcat basketball, you can still tune into the game from anywhere you can gain access to the internet. Fans can get to the UNH men's basketball broadcast site by going to the men's basketball schedule page at www.UNHWildcats.com.
UNH and Pack Network have once again partnered to provide online video streaming of UNH's seven ticketed sports for the upcoming 2009-10 season with UNHwildcats.Tv. Wildcat fans are encouraged to buy the "Wildcat All-Access Pass" which is an annual subscription for $79.95 that provides all the live coverage of UNH home athletic events. Fans can also purchase home events on a per game basis of $6.95.
Juniors James Valladares, Alvin Abreu and Dane DiLiegro all spent part of their summers representing their respective countries while playing basketball internationally. Valladares suited up for the El Salvador National Team at the FIBA COCABA Games in Cancun, Mexico, where he averaged 17.4 points per game. Abreu practiced with the Dominican National Team in Santo Domingo, where he battled with the likes of Francisco Garcia of the Sacramento Kings, Charlie Villanueva of the Detroit Pistons and Edgar Sosa, a senior at Louisville. DiLiegro played for the United States at the 18th Maccabiah Games in Israel. DiLiegro averaged 8.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game en route to helping the Americans capture the gold medal.
Head coach Bill Herrion was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame as a special honoree with the Clark University High School Basketball Tournament on Oct. 9. Along with the Clark Tournament itself and two major contributors to the success of the tournament, Herrion went in as one of just three players that will represent 70 years of basketball greatness at "The Clark." Herrion's best game came on Feb. 19, 1976 in a 96-79 win against Nashoba that lifted Oxford into the championship. Herrion knocked down 14 baskets and was 19 of 21 from the free throw line en route to scoring 47 points. The 19 free throws still stand as a single-game tournament record, while the 47 points are the third most in a single game and the 14 field goals are sixth most.
The Wildcats welcome in three newcomers this season. Chandler Rhoads (Berryville, Va.), a 6-foot-4, 190-pound point guard, attended Air Force Prep last season and averaged 17 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals per game. Rhoads, who has great size, speed and strength and will increase the Wildcats' already solid depth on the perimeter, graduated as the all-time leading scorer at Clarke County High School with 1,638 points. Rhoads, who was named Virginia State A Basketball Player of the Year after averaging 25.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game during his senior campaign, lead Clarke County to a pair of state championships during his four years at the school. Rhoads was also a First Team All-State member his junior and senior seasons, as well as being a McDonald's All-American nominee his final year at Clarke County.
Ferg Myrick (Philadelphia, Pa.), a 6-6, 180-pound wing, is a very good athlete who has size and is long. Myrick averaged 20 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks per game last season at Prep Charter High School. Myrick, a McDonald's All-American nominee, led Prep Charter to a 21-7 record.
Chris Matagrano (Sayreville, N.J.) is a 6-9, 250-pound center, who plays hard and brings a great work ethic to the squad. Matagrano averaged 12 points and eight rebounds per game last season for Blair Academy, where he led the school to a 19-4 record, as well as the program's first New Jersey Prep A state championship in school history. Matagrano, who has great size, physical presence and very good skill for a big man, graduated from Sayreville High School, where he led the program to the NJSIAA tournament in 2007-08 for the first time in five years after averaging 12 points and 12 boards per game en route to being voted the squad's MVP.

(The Huffington Post) - Remember that doll you had as a kid -- the one that developed a lazy eye (we're looking at you, Toy Story 3) and quickly went from cute to creepy? Or maybe you were the sibling that went around popping limbs off Barbies and American Girl Dolls.
Either way, it turns out these maimed toys needn't worry -- because Sydney's Famous Original Doll Hospital exists. And this year, it celebrates 100 years of fixing up dolls, teddy bears, rocking horses, umbrellas, prams, and more, Mother Nature Network reports.
In 1913, Harold Chapman Jr. opened the quirky doll business, and today Geoff Chapman, the third generation of Chapmans, proudly runs the business.
During World War II -- the hospital's "peak" years -- Chapman enjoyed a staff of almost 70 people, according to its website. In 100 years of business, the hospital claims to have made 2.5 million repairs.
If you're wondering what exactly a doll hospital looks like, check out the photos. Warning: Broken doll pictures are slightly traumatizing.

Outgoing Alitalia chairman Roberto Colaninno says he is "confident" the struggling airline will turn a profit next year.
After operating in the context of the "greatest economic and financial crisis in history" over the past few years, Alitalia will report positive results in 2014 when the "company will reach a level of operating maturity" thanks to the restructuring plan initiated in 2009, he predicts.
"Alitalia has also seen the arrival and departure of three chief executives during this period and been faced with a level of intense competitive pressure on a deregulated national and international market that would be hard to imagine in any other industry," he says.
Colaninno says he will not seek another senior position at Alitalia after stepping down following completion of the carrier's new financing package, but will remain as a board director and a major shareholder through his holding in the Immsi group.
"I am confident that, consistently with my commitment as an entrepreneur and the ethical stance I have always held throughout my long career, I have contributed, to the best of my physical and financial abilities, to this important process for the rescue of a great Italian company," he says.
Colaninno also sees his Alitalia chairmanship as having been "instrumental in the company's industrial and strategic transformation", enabling it to build a "positive relationship" with shareholder Air France-KLM.

- Production of Tiquizium bromide
Tiquizium bromide (CAS NO.: 71731-58-3), with its systematic name of trans-3-(Di-2-thienylmethylene)octahydro-5-methyl-2H-quinolizinium bromide, could be produced through many synthetic methods.
Following is one of the synthesis routes:
Firstly, 2-piperidineethanol (I) could react with acrylonitrile (II) to produce N-(2-cyanoethyl)piperidine-2-ethanol (III), which by treatment with SOCl2 is converted into the chloronitrile (IV). Next, the cyclization of (IV) with NaH affords 3-cyanoquinolizidine (V), which by hydrolysis with ethanol and HCl yields ethyl quinolizidine-3-carboxylate (VI). The Grignard reaction of (VI) with 2-thienylmagnesium bromide gives thienyl-3-quinolizidinyl methanol (VIII), which is dehydrated with HCl ethanol to afford 3-(di-2-thienylmethylene)quinolizidine (IX). At last, this compound is quaternirzed with methyl bromide in acetone.

All this Grammys talk got us thinking about music from last year that fell below the radar. There are a handful of 2007 discs that are still giving us goose pimples. Here are a few of 'em.
Manu Chao – La Radiolina
The ultimate cosmopolitan icon remains a boho experimentalist with a yen for high-flying horns and bouncy bass lines. He'd love to rub your face in some incendiary headlines, but at no point on this ever-shifting program does he allow the groove to dissipate — even while he chants how politik kills, or hollers slogans such as "Senor presidente George Bush: Cuidado!"
Bettye Lavette - The Scene of the Crime
The celebrated soul singer is a magnificent communicator, able to give you a look into her heart any time she chooses. This follow up to her seismic I've Got My Own Hell To Raise connects her with unlikely bedfellows: Southern rock renegades the Drive-By Truckers. But the sixtysomething singer and the scrappy band make lots of hay, especially in the ballad department. "I Guess We Shouldn't Talk About That Now" is about as eloquent as simmering desperation gets.
Gogol Bordello – Super Taranta! (SideOne Dummy)
The gypsy renegades throw a giddy rampage that has smarts and heart. Like the Mekons circa Fear & Whiskey or the Pogues circa Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, their party music is full of social barbs and political woes that wrap around each other as effectively as their fiddle and accordion do. Hats off to wild-eyed fervor of singer Eugene Hutz — an irresistible frontman.
John Doe – A Year in the Wilderness (Yep Roc)
The middle-aged singer may have been a hard 'n' fast dude 30 years ago, but for the bulk of the past three decades his Gary Cooper mix of tough guy and romantic has amplified the persona he created in forever revered and recently reunited X. On his most convincing solo disc, Doe sings track after track in a way that proves just how natural that vulnerable roughneck character really is. If you're a fan who's been frustrated with the quality of his recent discs, Wilderness is a great spot to get back on board.
Detroit Cobras - Tied & True (Bloodshot)
The Motor City is well known for its fab primitivism, the garage flavor of the Cobras has been central to the city's scene for years now. They're a girl-centric gang that slants towards snarling R&B, raunchy lyrics, and plenty of '60s camp. The Winehouse crowd might fall for 'em quickly; both acts share a yen for yesteryear, and both bring a big dollop of white soul to the table. Meow!
Major Stars – Mirror/Messenger (Drag City)
The big-ass riff rock that dominated arenas ages ago still crops up now and again, and if a band knows how to mess with its arrogance and deflate its pomp, it can still be a gas. This Boston outfit knows how to to it. They've been around in various incarnations for years, and this disc puts a punk mentality onto a traditional template. There's psych and screaming and sex flying through the air, like Superchunk messing around with Blue Cheer.
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists – Living With the Living (Lookout!)
A bit more politically astute than your average rock outfit, these guys are always punching. They blend a fierce guitar attack with lyrics that fight the power. There's an inviting viciousness smeared all over this disc, one of last year's fiercest punk broadsides. A longstanding Clash fan, Leo is a rather intense Jersey boy who erupts with a vengeance on tunes such as "Bomb. Repeat. Bomb," which blends the Minutemen's fractious shards with thrash metal's obsessive vigor.
Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago
Wisconsin boy Justin Vernon made disc by his lonesome during a three-month winter stretch in a rather isolated cabin. In an eerie falsetto he concocts a series of ruminations on iromance that waft around the room, calming everything in their path. A guitar strumming, a plaintive voice attending to an ancient wound – a question leaps forth: do ghosts have hearts?

Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian
I MUST share this fabulous picture book find with you! Carlo, a young giraffe, visits the new library with his father. The crocodile librarian, Mrs. Chinca, seems a little scary. Carlo soon realizes, however, that Mrs. Chinca is not only very friendly but also extremely knowledgeable about books. Carlo and the Really Nice Librarian is illustrated with cheerful watercolor, ink and collage. With sweet little details like a card catalog, a library card application, and the circulation desk, this would be a perfect story to share with a child who is about to visit a library for the first time.

Data Sheet
Fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) applications represent an increasingly important opportunity for metropolitan service providers to extend their networks, reach new customers, and profitably grow their businesses. The Cisco ONS 15327 has enabled service providers to address the FTTB market because it delivers supercharged SONET/SDH, integrated optical networking, unprecedented multiservices on demand, and radical economic benefits. However, FTTB applications require service providers to deploy equipment to sites that may be unsecured, lacking standard equipment racks, without DC power sources, and/or controlled by outside parties.
Figure 1
Cisco ONS 15327 Wall Mount Enclosure
The Cisco ONS 15327 WME, a secure, wall-mountable cabinet, addresses these key FTTB requirements cost-effectively so that service providers can take full advantage of this significant opportunity at a fraction of the cost, in a fraction of the time. The Cisco ONS 15327 WME offers a rectifier with redundant modules, 8 hours of battery backup capability, and a Cisco ONS 15327 Metro Edge Optical Transport Platform as a single, convenient solution.
The cabinet is fully NEBS Level III compliant, engineered to withstand Zone 4 seismic activity, and capable of inside plant operation. The Cisco ONS 15327 WME provides multiple alarm inputs, which can be used to collect information at a remote location and transmit it back to a management center.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Gail BraymenSpecial to American Forces Press Service
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo., May 14, 2008 North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command unveiled their new integrated command center in a ceremony attended by Canadian and U.S. dignitaries here yesterday.
The command center opening coincided with NORAD's observance of the 50-year mark in the partnership between Canada and the United States in defending North America from air and space threats.
Attendees included U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates; Canadian National Defense Minister Peter MacKay; Rick Casson and Anthony Rota, members of Canada's Parliament; Paul McHale, U.S. assistant secretary of defense for homeland defense and Americas' security affairs; Navy Adm. Jonathan Greenert, commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command; Lt. Gen. M.J. Dumais, commander of Canada Command; and Lt. Gen. Angus Watt, Canadian air force commander.
U.S. Air Force Gen. Victor E. Renuart, who wears two hats as commander of NORAD and NorthCom, praised the cooperative spirit the new command center represents.
"This is really the culmination of a lot of great effort by people who have taken this idea of unity of effort, of integration of capabilities, and brought them together in this room as a symbol of a true integrated approach to both warning and defense of our homelands," he said.
NORAD and NorthCom have shared a commander and a headquarters building since 2002, when NorthCom was established. Sharing a command center with integrated land, air, space, missile warning, maritime and cyber domains brings the commands' missions together in a way "that creates great synergy," Renuart said.
"Our command center will be a huge improvement in our ability to integrate situational awareness, to begin to respond to a major event in either of our countries, and then to take the national capabilities that respond to disasters, both man-made and natural, and bring relief to our citizens in our communities," the general continued. "So this is really a weapons system for the future."
Canadians greatly value their defense partnership with the United States, MacKay said. "In fact, we're constantly revisiting and constantly upgrading our participation --– our ability --– to continue this strong relationship that we have enjoyed now for 50 years. The opening of NORAD and NorthCom's new command and control center, especially now in the context of this ongoing 50-year anniversary celebration, is truly something that we value.
"NORAD remains the cornerstone of Canadian-American continental defense partnership," MacKay added. "This new command and control center is certainly evidence of that. It will maintain constant links with Canada Command, Canada's domestic military operations command, and it will help NORAD meet the challenges of the future by allowing for effective, efficient communications between Canada Command, NORAD and U.S. NorthCom. These links, and the work of the personnel who staff the command center, contribute to the defense of the continent every day."
The new command center, Gates said, "enhances the collaboration between Canada and the United States [and has] a key role in defending the United States and Canada in the near and far future."
"It embodies our nations' shared commitment to protecting the North American continent from any and all threats," he said. "Additionally, this center will be able to connect and coordinate with other command centers around the nation with improved communication processes, thus allowing us to respond more quickly to any threat."
NORAD is the binational Canadian and American command responsible for the air defense of North America and maritime warning for Canada and the United States. U.S. Northern Command was established on Oct. 1, 2002, to anticipate and conduct homeland defense and civil support operations within the assigned area of responsibility to defend, protect, and secure the United States and its interests.

"The Strange and Curious History of the Illegal Alien" Subject of Lecture
Historian Evelyn Hu-DeHart will present a talk at Pomona College titled, "The Strange and Curious History of the Illegal Alien," on Tuesday, April 17 at 7 p.m. in Rose Hills Theatre (Smith Campus Center, 170 E. Sixth St., Claremont).
Hu-DeHart will explore the story about how the term "illegal alien" came into popular culture; how history has forgotten, distorted and manipulated that story; and how that story ties into the formation of America's self-image as an immigrant nation. She will examine how, with China and Mexico looming large on American's horizons, a clear understanding of the "illegal alien" will help define America's position in the world.
Hu-DeHart's publications include Across The Pacific: Asian Americans and Globalization (2000) and Missionaries, Miners, and Indians: Spanish Contact With the Yaqui Nation of Northwestern New Spain, 1533-1820 (1981). Her areas of current research are Asian Diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean and the politics of multiculturalism.
She teaches at Brown University and is director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown. She is the recipient of numerous grants and awards, among them are two Fulbrights to Brazil and Peru and the Kellogg National Leadership Award. She is the founder of the Asian/Pacific American Women's Leadership Institute.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of Bava's Very Best in an Excellent but Faulted DVD,
By A Customer
Undoubtedly one of Mario Bava's finest films, that in itself saying a great deal, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE is a skillfully directed, stunningly photographed murder mystery well served by this VCI DVD release.
First the good stuff: This DVD restores footage from the original European release, including the original credit sequence, never before seen in North America, and features a wealth of extras, including interviews with stars Cameron Mitchell and Mary (Dawne) Arden, a selection of international trailers and an information packed commentary track by film scholar and Bava expert Tim Lucas. The video quality is excellent, though not faultless, and presented in a widescreen 1.66:1 aspect ratio, allowing the viewer the opportunity to appreciate Bava's visual canvas in a way not possible with previous video releases.
The not so good stuff: As much of a revelation as this VCI release is, in terms of visual quality, the limited edition PAL German DVD of BLOOD AND BLACK LACE (BLUTIGE SEIDE) is undoubtedly the hands down winner. The colours are even more vibrant and the film is presented in the full, correct, aspect ratio of 1.85:1. If you have PAL DVD capabilities, you might want to look at that release, but otherwise, the VCI edition is still an excellent purchase.
The biggest problem with this DVD is that there are at least three, different releases of this disc, some of which have very serious problems.
I can not personally verify the problems with the original release, which reportedly would not play in some DVD players including some makes of Philips/Magnavox and Pioneer players. I believe that this version has the front cover BLOOD AND BLACK LACE logo in yellow with red stripes, whereas the subsequent releases have the logo in red.
The second release features a 2001 copyright on the package design. At least some of the discs in this release feature another major fault preventing any of the bonus materials from playing. The film itself plays fine, but trying to access the bonus materials results in a black screen and jerking, broken sound. I have had personal experience with this problem and have found online reports of others encountering it.
In a third release, with a slightly different package and a 2002 copyright, all materials on the disc play faultlessly. It looks like VCI finally worked out all the bugs. This is the one to have.
All in all, a great film in an excellent, if not perfect DVD release.

4.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST USES OF COLOR EVER,
Robert M. Barger "rmb800" (louisville, ky) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for a breathtakingly beautiful use of color and lighting, YOU MUST SEE "BLOOD AND BLACL LACE". This has to be one of the great overlooked movies of all time. Great Jazz score.
What happened to the mentality that could both make and go see this kind of movie? After watching this one, and looking over the current cinema listings in the local paper, I nearly cried at the lack of anything like this to see.
The rich jewel tones that flood every frame in this film are amazing. Eastmancolor must be one of the most underrated processes in film history. Notice how shocking the white undergarments of the models seem after the killer rips their bodices away.
A great movie in which nearly the whole cast lies dead at the end. Eva Bartok is amazingly beautiful, why didn't she become more of an international star?

4.0 out of 5 stars Bloody lace,
E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blood & Black Lace (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
Some women want to strangle models, but most people don't actually go that far. That's not the case in "Blood and Black Lace," where models run, scream, and die in all sorts of gruesome ways. Mario Bava's classic giallo has some monotonous moments, but mostly it sticks to stylish slayings.
Just before a fashion show, the model Isabella is found dead in a wardrobe. The police investigate the fashion house's various models and managers, but can't find any solid evidence. And during the show, one of the other models finds Isabella's diary, which is loaded with scandalous information about drugs, lovers, abortions, and debts.
But then the diary is stolen, and trenchcoated killer waits until the models are alone -- and then he burns, strangles, drowns, and claws them. The police suspect the men -- designers and managers -- at the fashion house, but even detaining the suspects won't stop the gruesome murders...
At first glance, "Blood and Black Lace" seems like just another bloody slasher movie. Well, giallo is to slasher movies as fine cheese is to Velveeta, and "Blood and Black Lace" is a perfect example of a giallo, with the arty lighting, graphic violence, colourful sets, and of course those black gloved hands.
The plot is a pretty straightforward whodunnit -- it's not blatantly obvious who the killer is, but seasoned movie fans can probably guess. And while there are gruesome slayings, the killer doesn't just jump out and kill. Bava builds up the tension and fear (which the characters also demonstrate) until it's almost a relief when someone dies.
But one of the biggest necessities for a giallo is visual style. The fashion house is lushly palatial, and the murders are elaborately choreographed chases, with weird lighting and lots of luxurious surroundings. The second murder, for instant, is like hide-and-seek in an antiques store. The only problem is a misogynistic edge, such as when the women have their shirts ripped halfway off.
None of the characters really stand out much -- they're the Models, the Creepy Boyfriends, the Skeptical Police, the Weird Landlady, and a handful of others. So it's a credit to the actresses like Mary Arden and Eva Bartok that they are able to make us feel sorry for their characters.
"Blood and Black Lace" is a beautiful, bloody guilty pleasure, and a perfect example of a giallo horror movie. Good stuff.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wildly stylish, fun, engaging, but not perfect,
K. Gordon - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blood & Black Lace (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
A great looking murder mystery that clearly laid the groundwork for later directors
(DePalma in particular), and has a fun macabre sense of humor to go with some
very effective tension.
Considered a masterpiece by many, I can't quite go there, with the bad dubbing,
some over the top acting, and a few silly twists. But that's not to say I didn't really enjoy it.
Someone is killing models at a high fashion house, and there are plenty
of suspects to go around.
Bava's use of color is wonderful, if not quite up to what he did in his own
`Whip and the Body', and there's also very effective use of shadows and
moving lights. Yes, many of those devices are now visual clichés, but
someone had to invent them, and Bava gets a lot of the credit.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Landmark Horror Movie,
Daniel Kepley (Viola, DE USA) - See all my reviews
Mario Bava, the founding father of Italian horror (see my BLACK SUNDAY/THE MASK OF SATAN review), was a real trendsetter with his innovative camera tricks (he was a cameraman as well) and cinematic mastery. Every one of his movies changed the face of horror worldwide. But BLOOD AND BLACK LACE may just well be the most influential and ground-breaking movie in his distinguished career!
A fashion house in Italy becomes a slaughterhouse when the diary of one of the models is discovered. It seems that there is some unsavory material within the diary concerning the models. Everyone is after the diary, and in fact somebody even goes as far as to bump off a few people for the diary. Who will survive?
See folks, this is where the Italian giallo, the career of Dario Argento (my favorite Italian horror director), and the slasher film began. When I saw BLOOD AND BLACK LACE, I gained a new understanding of Italian horror and how cool it is. It's all right here: wild camera moves (achieved on a red wagon!), lighting in different colors (echoing EC Comics long before George Romero gave it a shot in CREEPSHOW and even before the first TALES FROM THE CRYPT movie in 1972), gorgeous but ill-fated women, psychosexually motivated mayhem, and of course truly awesome murder sequences! Yes indeed, we can all thank Mario Bava for the state of Italian horror in its heyday and for all those slasher movies that have come out recently because Mario Bava singlehandedly shaped the state of modern, non-Gothic/supernatural horror in just 90 minutes of murder and mayhem!
VCI's DVD is a testament to this movie's significance in horror history. The audio commentary by Bava expert Tim Lucas provides a treasure trove of trivia for Bava buffs and Italian horror fans alike! Best of all, the presentation is uncut and in widescreen, complete with the original opening title sequence (which was truly awesome and evocative) and restored murder sequences which are as cringe-worthy as anything Tom Savini could come up with! We have the American title sequence (courtesy of Filmation Studios, the animators of Fat Albert and He-Man) and French title sequence, and much, much more! A truly ground-breaking horror film, BLOOD AND BLACK LACE is a definite must-watch!
5.0 out of 5 stars PRIME BAVA....,
Mark Norvell (HOUSTON) - See all my reviews
Many have said this movie is misogynistic. I won't get into that. To be fair, I would have to say that it is disturbing to a degree, but also a stylish shocker done by a master film maker that is highly watchable if you're not squeamish. The world of haute couture is a perfect place to present a murder thriller in that it affords the limitless opportunities of playing with color, showcasing beautiful women and providing a host of possible villains...and victims. Bava does all of this in classic continental style. The victims are beautiful fashion models, the murders are violent and ,in some cases, gory. The settings of the salon and showrooms are garish with lots of red and black. The murder set pieces are scary, bizarre and done to the hilt. The storyline has some cohesence with enough sordid details to make it juicy. VCI has done the film marvelous justice on DVD and it looks beautiful. All in all, an engrossing horror film that continues to satisfy Bava and giallo fans and a collector's treat as well. Enjoy this one.
4.0 out of 5 stars The First Giallo!,
Raniel Almaria "ronny347" (Roselle, IL) - See all my reviews
In my opinion, this film is the first giallo. This movie gave birth to what filmakers like Dario Argento & others have popularized in the late 60s & throughout the 70s & 80s as a specific genre of horror film. Bava used the now-familiar use of the gloved & hooded killer killing beautiful women in a variety of sadistic ways. In Argento's films like DEEP RED, TENEBRE, THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMMAGE, & his latest one SLEEPLESS (aka NON HO SONNO), one can see the homage or formula that he used to make these films successful & effective. And it can all be traced back to this 1964 film, BLOOD & BLACK LACE (aka SEI DONNE PER L'ASSASSINO).
Bava used lavish sets, deep colors, fluid camera work, & the familiar thin narrative in this movie that is copied later on by Argento, Fulci, & yes, even American directors like Brian De Palma & John Carpenter. The storytelling in this movie is rather weak as to what set off the murders of those lovely models. Instead, this film relies more on STYLE & loads of it. And the rervelation on who the killer is... well, I won't spoil it.
BLOOD & BLACK LACE is an exercise in style & taste. It's like watching a beautifully choreographed ballet of death with brutal intensity & violence.
I would also go so far as to name this film the FIRST TRUE "BODYCOUNT" horror film.
To modern horror film fans, BLOOD & BLACK LACE may not be your cup of tea. But watch it & relish it for it is a feast for your eyes. The mesmerizing beauty of Bava's genius is a sight to behold.
3.0 out of 5 stars Rather uneven and rough Bava viewing,
As much as "Blood and Black Lace" has influenced Italian Giallos and slasher films, it is nevertheless one of Bava's more uneven and sometimes even sloppy films. The story itself may seem depressingly derivitive from today's viewers' eyes, but you must remember this film was made over thirty years ago. This is one of the film's assets. The now cliche plot of a madman stocking beautiful women is a springboard for some memorably tense and suspenseful moments. Also, Bava's penchant for moody lighting helps create a bizarre juxtaposition. The film has candy-colored, beautiful lighting set against some of the most gruesome and horrific (and misogynist) murders of the time. One woman's face is repeatedly smashed against the bark of a tree, while another is repeatedly scalded against an iron grill. The murders are horrific, while the look of the film is beautiful and almost youthful, making an uneasy clash of themes. But for all these positive points, the film nevertheless almost falls flat. The acting (and dubbing) is far worse than usual for a Bava film. Couple that with some very pokey pacing, and some downright boring and static scenes, and the impact (and star rating) of the film goes down. Don't get me wrong, the film has a good amount of aspects that make it worth seeing, but the faults of the film can't be ignored, and subsequently slightly diminish the enjoyment of the film.
4.0 out of 5 stars Early pre-cursor to the modern slasher / mad killer genre,
firstname.lastname@example.com (Boston, USA) - See all my reviews
Crazed killer invades a fashion house in this Italian chiller. Even though some of the dubbing and motivation of the characters is weak, the overall style of the film is excellent. There is enough suspense and jumps without being overly gory, especially by the standards of today. There is a good sense of brutality towards women in this one, however. This one is probably more for the fans of Dario Argento and the Italian genre of slasher flicks, but based on the recent video dreck that comes your way, this is far better. The way the camera floats around the fashion house is one many examples of how director Bava uses his camera to invoke confusion and forshadow the mayhem that is about to erupt. There is a subplot about drugs that goes nowhere and other red herrings, but you should enjoy this endeavor in the horror video market.
3.0 out of 5 stars Blood and Black Lace.,
Tom Servo "Robot" (Satelite of Love) - See all my reviews
Blood and Black Lace is often described as the original 'body count' movie. I'm not really sure how this credential was bestowed, but you can certainly sense an early Friday the 13th aura about the movie. The young models are stalked and dispatched by a hooded maniac, much as you've seen in countless 'slasher' flicks. But it's important to realize that this film was made in 1964, 14 years before John Carpenter would introduce his Halloween to the universe. But, while this movie certainly earns respect for being an innovator in the genre, much of Blood and Black Lace is pretty slow moving. Not scary, but ammusing and very funny. Great Black Comedy.

Marc, himself, his blogs, and you reading them.
Since Flemish 'state' money started building this Meeting and Congres-centre in Bredene at the (old flemish proverbial getting badly translated "boogscheut") arc-shot from our doorstep the missus and me have been hoping there would be a decent cultural agenda for the place... We waited hopefully but heared nothing of that kind...
Last week we were even put on the wrong foot completely when the invitation for the opening showed a lot of references to more business oriented origanizations in stead (and oh, dispair: no mentioning of any cultural agenda) So we're glad to stand corrected to find their website show we can soon shop for concerts and plays just accross the street!
Being satisfied in my personal desires I'm even tempted to help boost their meeting and congress business now by showing the immense benefits this place has in its surrounding infrastructure as it's ideally placed within walking distance of
- nothing less then greatest surfing spot at the Belgian coast, (well it's different then surfin' in Munich of course)

John Denver, subject of the new album, "The Music is You: A Tribute to John Denver." / ATO Records
In the '70s, John Denver built a career by recording songs that appealed to pretty much everybody but rock snobs.
The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver (* * ½ out of four) honors the singer, who died in a 1997 self-piloted plane crash, and takes a similar approach.
The lineup includes nouveau folkies (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Old Crow Medicine Show, Allen Stone), country singers (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Emmylou Harris, who sings Take Me Home, Country Roads with Brandi Carlile) and alt-rockers (My Morning Jacket, J Mascis), as well as two mainstream rock acts - Train, which plays the signature hit Sunshine on My Shoulders straight, and Dave Matthews, who emphasizes the longing in the lesser-known Take Me to Tomorrow.
Treated respectfully, Denver's hits generally fare well, while a few covers, like that by Matthews and I Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado by Carpenter, may even improve on the originals.

NTSC bags Aaha Gold Cup
Nabil Three Star Club (NTSC) bagged this year's Aaha Gold Cup after defeating Manang Marsyangdi Club (MMC) in an exciting final match played at the Pokhara Stadium on Saturday.

Watch video tips and tricks
For Brownies:
1/2 cup
Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
1/4 cup
unsalted butter
1/3 cup
granulated sugar
large egg
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/2 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
finely shredded lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
For Lemon Frosting:
2 tablespoons
unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon
finely shredded lemon zest
1 1/3 cups
confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons
fresh lemon juice, divided, or as needed
For Chocolate Glaze:
1/3 cup
Ghirardelli® 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips
1 tablespoon
unsalted butter
2 teaspoons
light-color corn syrup
Additional lemon zest for topping
Ok, just finished 'enjoying one' --M-I-L-K... must have Milk! The bittersweet chocolate was a bit strong,overpowering on the flavor. So, I'd recommend to go easy on the chocolate glaze, change it to milk chocolate, or serve it with vanilla ice-cream. May want to go with Milk chocolate or Semi-sweet chips for the Cocoa chips for the Brownie mix itself. On the other hand, the Lemon Frosting was absolutely delicious and could be a Recipe all to itself!
I love this recipe forever.

Pennings on Breivik
The crimes of which Anders Breivik stands accused don't show how religion can inspire evil. Quite the contrary: They are proof positive that a Christ-less Christianity is a cultural construct that can't bring the depth of relationship required to prevent the horrors that evil inspires. It doesn't show how faith makes us evil – it shows only why we so badly need to be inspired by the social virtues propagated by its institutions.
