Applications for new students for the 2015-2016 school year are now being accepted.
Registration for current students for next year will begin on Wednesday, February 25th at the State of the School presentation. In order to obtain your registration materials, parents/guardians must attend one of our State of the School presentations. They will be offered three times, on Wednesday, Feb. 25th at 8:45 am, and 7:00 pm, and Thursday, Feb. 26th at 7:00 pm.
2015-2016 Registrations for current students are due Friday, March 6, 2015.
New students may be screened by our Learning Specialist to assess learning needs. With registration, new students will need to include copies of their: Birth Certificate, Baptismal Certificate, First Reconciliation and First Eucharist Certificate (if applicable), verification of immunizations, report card (last semester/trimester – for students entering grades 1-8), and most current standardized test results.
Because St. Catherine School relies heavily on parent volunteers and supplemental income to keep tuition affordable, each K-8 family must commit to 40 hours of volunteer work for the school and/or parish (single parent families contribute 20 hours). Five of these hours must be completed in connection with the school auction. In addition, each family contributes a $200 item to the school auction, participates in the school Annual Fund Drive, and must purchase $1,000 in Scrip. Preschool families are encouraged to become active in the school and to contribute a $100 item to the school auction. Many volunteer opportunities exist and all K-8 families are asked to complete a Service Hour Agreement as part of the registration process. Volunteer opportunities help build a sense of community at St. Catherine School and we appreciate your participation.

During crisis Katy Perry abstained from alcohol
Pop star Katy Perry says she did not consume alcohol for three continuous months as she was going through a hard time in life.
The 29-year-old, who parted ways from comedian Russell Brand in December 2011 after a 14 month marriage, tried to put her best foot forward and watched British sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous" to get her through some dark days in the past two years, reports contactmusic.com.
"I do a couple of the hot toddies and a box set of 'Ab Fab'... I love a bit of Patsy. You know I did a lot of different things, I surrounded myself with my good friends, I did this whole cleanse where I didn't have any of the alcohol for three months - that was devastating - I did vitamins and supplements, and hikes and meditation and prayer," Perry said on a TV show.
"But I think at the end of it all, as much as the things I did, I think there was something cosmically happening that was looking out for me in some ways, but I was putting my best positive foot forward," she added.
Perry, who is now dating John Mayer, also suffered from confidence issues during the tough period, but now she can laugh and joke about it because she is in a much happier space.

The economic downturn and global recession of the recent times and the consequent unemployment and drastic income cuts have placed many in dire financial crisis and more and more people are finding that they are in the midst of accumulating debts and loans which, it seems impossible to repay in their lifetime. Credit card debts, mortgages, personal loans and other credits stare at the face of a majority of people around the world. With the creditors practically at their doorsteps demanding repayment, these debtors are seeking alternative ways to pay off their debts with fewer burdens on their monthly budgets. One such method is to write off your debts; that is, a portion of your debt is written off with mutual agreement between the creditor and the debtor; it is known as IVA, or Individual Voluntary Agreement. The IVA allows the two parties to reach a new agreement upon which the debtor pays off the credit in affordable monthly installments until the term of the IVA expires. After this period, all the outstanding debt is written off by the creditor.
However, this may not solve the problem for all. For them, there is another option to completely write off their debts. The debtors can legally write off their debts as per the recent changes in the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which states that if you have taken out a loan before April 2007 and you find that the loan agreements you signed with the creditor are unenforceable loan agreements, you can challenge these agreements in court. If the court finds that the credit agreement is unenforceable, the creditors have to write off the entire debt.
There are other methods to partially write off your debts. By obtaining debt settlement help and the best debt advice, you can successfully manage your credits and keep your credit rating from falling low. You can enlist the services of a debt settlement attorney for paying off your loans and debts. Debt settlement attorneys acts as middlemen between you and your creditors and help you to reach a fresh agreement with the creditors so that you repay at a new rate; sometimes the interest is written off as a result of the negotiation of the attorney. This method can be used to settle credit card loans and loans taken out from individuals. You can either settle the loans on your own or hire an attorney to legally deal with the issue.

Component of: HflB, integral membrane ATP-dependent zinc metallopeptidase (extended summary available)
FtsH is a membrane-bound, ATP-dependent metalloprotease which has been shown to be involved in the degradation of some aberrant membrane and cytoplasmic proteins [Akiyama00, Akiyama96, Akiyama98, Akiyama96, Kihara95]. FtsH-mediated proteolysis has been shown to be directly related to the proton motive force (pmf) across the membrane [Akiyama03]. Topology mapping indicates that FtsH has two transmembrane segments near the N-terminus and a large cytoplasmic domain which comprises two subdomains: an ATPase domain and a zinc metalloprotease motif-containing protease domain [Tomoyasu93a].
Deletion mutation studies have shown that FtsH may also play a role in the proper assembly of proteins into and through the inner membrane by assuring effective stop-transfer of some transmembrane proteins [Akiyama94]. Protein purification and cross-linking studies indicate that FtsH is physically and functionally connected to YidC and that this complex may be involved in quality control of inner membrane proteins (IMPs) during biogenesis [vanBloois08].

Subunit composition of
HflB, integral membrane ATP-dependent zinc metallopeptidase = [(HflK)(HflC)]6[FtsH]6

regulator of FtsH protease = HflK (summary available)
regulator of FtsH protease = HflC (summary available)
ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease FtsH = FtsH (extended summary available)
FtsH is a zinc-dependent metalloendoprotease required for survival [Jayasekera00]. Cells lacking functional FtsH fail to septate, instead forming multinucleate filaments [Santos75]. FtsH degrades a number of cellular proteins, including the membrane protein YccA and orphaned complex components such as SecY in the absence of SecE and unaccompanied ATPase F0 [Kihara98, Kihara95, Akiyama96a]. FtsH degrades SecY and to a lesser extent SecE in LamB-LacZ fusion strains with a 'jammed' Sec translocator [vanStelten09]. FtsH degrades the heat shock promoter protein sigma32 [Herman95]. FtsH also controls the abundance of a number of phage proteins, modulating levels of lambda cIII, cleaving cII into peptides of 13-20 residues and degrading Xis, which is required for excision of lambda phage from the chromosome [Herman97, Shotland00, Leffers98]. In addition to the roles described above, FtsH can also break down proteins tagged with the SsrA degradation peptide [Herman98, Herman03a].
FtsH is a multiprotein complex comprising a hexamer of FtsH monomers and a hexamer of HflKC pairs [Karata01, Saikawa, Bruckner03]. Though the FtsH monomer can bind both ATP and denatured protein, only the hexamer is capable of proteolysis, and the FtsH membrane domain is required for oligomerization and degradation of membrane protein substrates, even with solubilized membrane proteins [Akiyama95, Makino99, Akiyama01, Akiyama00]. The periplasmic portion of the FtsH monomer is required for degradation of cII, as well as for effective interaction between FtsH and HflKC [Akiyama98]. As with many AAA proteases, FtsH has a proteolytic component, the FtsH monomer and a regulatory component, HflKC, which modulates its protease activity [Dougan02a, Kihara96, Kihara97].
The crystal structure of the ATPase module has been solved and is similar to other AAA domains [Krzywda02, Krzywda02a]. Three leucines in a coiled-coil motif at the carboxy-terminus of the FtsH subunit are required for proteolytic and substrate binding activities though they are not needed for ATPase function [Shotland00a]. Phenylalanine-228 and glycine-230, predicted to be in the central pore of the FtsH hexamer, are required for ATPase function and proteolysis of casein, though mutants lacking Phenylalanine-228 were still able to degrade sigma32 [YamadaInagawa03]. FtsH has a zinc-binding motif and requires zinc for its proteolytic function [Tomoyasu95]. Glutamate-479 is one of the residues coordinating this zinc cofactor [Saikawa02].
FtsH function is ATP dependent, with ATP binding to two sites in the carboxy-terminal ATPase module of FtsH and inducing a conformational change [Akiyama94a, Akiyama96, Akiyama98a]. Mutations in the SRH (Second Region of Homology) portion of the FtsH subunit disrupt the protein's ATPase and protease activities, but still allow this conformational change, suggesting that binding of ATP alone is insufficient for activation of the protease [Karata99]. FtsH takes two minutes to degrade sigma32 and uses 140 ATP molecules to do so [Okuno04].
FtsH degradation of cII in vitro does not require any chaperones and proceeds ten times faster than degradation of sigma32 [Shotland97]. FtsH cleaves cII into peptides of 13-20 peptides without much cut-site specificity [Shotland00]. The carboxy-terminal end of cII is required for FtsH degradation, and can also prompt degradation of other proteins if if is appended to them. Degradation of cII is inhibited by cIII and requires HflD [Kobiler02, Kihara01].
FtsH is able to dislocate membrane proteins from the membrane and is able to degrade from both the amino- and carboxy-terminal ends of its substrates [Kihara99, Okuno04]. Degradation of YccA depends on its amino-terminal tail being twenty residues long or longer, though there is no sequence specificity involved and adding twenty-residue tails to SecE and Y sensitized them to FtsH-mediated degradation [Chiba00]. Proteolysis from the amino-terminus requires only ten residues [Chiba02]. FtsH proteolyzes Arc repressor when it is tagged with the SsrA degradation tag, breaking the protein down from the tagged end. Generally, FtsH is most effective at degrading thermodynamically unstable proteins [Herman03a].
FtsH-mediated degradation of sigma32 has been shown to either require or not require its carboxy-terminus and to depend on proper sequence in the middle of the protein [Blaszczak99, Tomoyasu01, Bertani01]. Sigma32 is broken down into ten peptide products less than 3 kDa in size [Bruckner03].
FtsH degradation in membrane vesicles requires only FtsH, substrate and ATP [Akiyama03]. In vivo, degradation slows when the proton-motive force is diminished and is stimulated by enhancement of the proton-motive force [Akiyama02].
FtsH cleaves the carboxy-terminus of the FtsH subunit in an ATP-dependent manner. The cut, between methionine-640 and serine-641, removes five residues from the end of the protein and appears not to affect protein function [Akiyama99].
FtsH is required for mRNA synthesis and appears to modulate mRNA lifespan as well [Granger98]. Both functions depend on the ATPase activity of FtsH [Wang98j].
Loss of FtsH or its ATPase activity results in "stop-transfer defects," or mislocalization of protein segments that are normally anchored in the membranes or transported out of the cell [Akiyama94]. This may relate to the role of FtsH in maintenance of proper membrane structures and LPS production, possibly based on degradation of UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase (LpxC/EnvA) [Ogura99]. Similarly, the effect of FtsH on membranes may explain the requirement for FtsH in proper plasmid partitioning [Inagawa01]. FtsH is required for sensitivity to colicin [Holland76, Matsuzawa84, Qu96].
Lack of FtsH function leads to reduced sigma54 activity and can be suppressed by overexpressing chaperones such as GroEL/GroES and HtpG or by overexpressing PBP-3 [Carmona99, Shirai96, Ferreira87].

Sadly I must agree with the person who wrote about the greed the Dr. Exhibited by doing this nasal endoscopy twice on 2 visits back to back when I didn't havethat serious of a problem. But I do think he is a good and caring dot,

I went to Dr CeCe after suffering assault to my face..a victim of physical assault injuring my nose. I had several appointments with him, followed his directives and he said the imaging results show surgery on my nose is justified. When I told him the Victims of Crime Unit would pay for my -nose surgery....He became very hesitant and anxious...But said he would do the surgery to repair my nose. He made one call to victims unit but never did the required paperwork...He didn't call to tell me he decided not to do the surgery....He left me hanging and his assistant said he will call you back and talk to you. He never did....Then he dropped me cold as a patient via certified letter. I was a patient for four years...Never an issue. I'm suffering severe PTSD and he drops me cold as a patient via certified letter that stated in legalize that he would see me one more time in next 30 days if need be and then he is done with treating me. I called the office and assistant gave me one last appt to review my tx and get my medical records To start all over again......A few minutes later his assistant called me back and said sorry, 'Mary'. He wont see you. I will fax you HIPPA records release now. Bottom line: he did not have the courage to speak to me directly. The victim of a violent crime who treats patients in her own field. CeCE did not want to do the surgery and answer to state re billing and
outcome...I never thought a doctor would ever treat me this way. Horrific!

Dr.Cece operated on me in 2009, for a deviated septum. I suffered for many years with sinus related pains and infections prior to going to see him. He is the absolute best ENT in the tri-state area. I have seen several doctors here in Manhattan and not one of them is as though as him. Not only is he very knowledgeable but his compassionate and really takes time to listen to his patients. I would recommend him to anyone that needed help. The office is currently under renovation but its clean and roomy. The office staff is friendly and very accommodating when needed.

Usually you can find a doctor with either great skills, bedside manner, a good listener, integrity and kindness but never in one package. Dr. Cece is the exception. I had a terrible problem breathing for years and unsuccessfully took all kinds of medication. I went to Dr. Cece based upon Internet reviews and was impressed. He explained all my options clearly and throughly. Finally, I decided to have an operation that I dreaded, but needed. I was reluctant because on WebMd, it mentioned that what I had could grow back. Anyway, I have a new life as a result of that successful operation and can't thank Dr. Cece enough - and years later, there is no reoccurrence. But even beyond that, I started a job in a hospital where the staff exchanges information on what doctors to see if we have health problems. Dr. Cece gets praised all the time. I'm thankful that I found him - he's not only a great doctor, but sincerely cares about his patients, no matter how much of a chicken you might be.

Doctor has great personality but behind all of that is sheer greed for money and milking money from insurance companies. Dr. Cece (and other doctors in that practice) do unnecessary procedures. Every-time I go to his office for my hearing problem all he does is stick a tube in through my nose (its called nasal endoscopy) which is like $500-600 for no other reason than for the money. He does not even get consent from me to do this procedure. he will just talk to me as he is examining me and then all of sudden sticks the tube up my nose as if nothing is happening. Shameful system we have in our healthcare system, its all about the $$$$.

I was treated by Dr. Cece for a Peritonsillar Abscess. It is an extremely painful condition. Dr. Cece was truly amazing. He spent a great deal of time addressing and ultimately treating my condition. For five days prior to this office visit, I was in unbelievable pain ( couldnt eat, drink or sleep). Less than three hours after I left Dr.Cece, my pain was gone. It was similar to a miracle! I cannot thank Dr. Cece enough for his professionalism and knowledge. I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr. Cece.

Early July I was diagnosed with papillary cancer (thyroid). After getting passed the word cancer, I found Dr. Cece on this website. Words cannot express how grateful I am. He was everything described on this site and more. He blew away the first ENT I had gone too. During his examination, he reviewed all documentation, Ultrasound & pathology reports in my presence and was hands-on examining the area including lymph nodes. There were two factors that made me feel he was the doctor for me. (1) having me go for a CT Scan to check lymph nodes vs. waiting for surgery to fish around (aka being thorough), and (2) the fact that he said based on severity of the case, he would refer me to Mt. Sinai. Doctor Cece is certainly there for the patient! Highly recommended....

I felt inclined to write a review on Dr. Cece since I selected him solely based off the reviews on this site. Now, I must say (somewhat embarrassingly), as a grown man in my mid-30's, I am a horrible patient. I have never been comfortable being poked and scoped and all other things doctors do but I knew heading in, based off a visit with a previous ENT, that due to a concern I was having with my throat, I had to get a scope up through my nose down into my throat, something I was dreading. Dr Cece and beforehand, his nurse/assistant, both quickly noticed my nerves and made me feel as calm and comfortable as I could be before and during having the scope down. Some people are comfortable with a doctor without any bedside manner, as long as they know what they are doing. I need both and Dr. Cece is just that. I will gladly recommend and (if I must), not hesitate to go back to him.

All doctors should be like Dr. Cece. He operated on me two years ago and his professionalism, kind manner, the time he took to explain the procedure and to calm this nervous patient will never be forgotten. My life has improved so much since the operation - I can now breathe fully and live more completely. I've never come across a doctor that so much cares about his patients and gives his all the way Dr. Cece does. I highly recommend him - very highly!

Dr. Cece is by far the best doctor I ever went to. I am so glad I found him. He took my son in an emergency situation immediately.

Kristin Cavallari certainly has turned over a new leaf.
The former reality TV star has come a long way from Laguna Beach's wild child—she's now a dotting mom to 8-month-old, Camden, and loving fiancée to NFL quarterback Jay Cutler.
Now, she's also looking to better her relationship with Mother Nature. Talking with Coco Eco magazine, the 26-year-old credits her son for her greener outlook. "I don't want to put anything on him which has chemicals, and so everything is organic. It also makes you think about what you're putting on your own body," she explains. "If you don't want it on your baby, why would you want it on yourself."
Her style has also seen an eco-friendly shift as well. While posing for magazine, stylist Jacqueline Rezak dressed the star in vintage and green fashions, including pieces from Lara Miller.

White Orchid Slot
White Orchid Slot
IGT's White Orchid slot was released to online casinos on June 26th 2010 and is a clone of the popular
Treasures Of Troy
, a 1024 slot game that uses IGT's Multiway Extra patent. What does this mean? Well it means these two slots are unique. There are 5 reels and 20 symbols in view on White Orchid and every symbol is effectively a reel. Potentially, this means that you could get the same symbol in view in every window. So think of every symbol as being stacked and you get the gist.
There is a wild symbol on the White Orchid slot, although it only appears on reels 2 - 5. There are no scatter symbols, but there is a bonus symbol on reel 3 and if two of these land in the 4 windows on that reel simultaneously you get the free spins bonus. White Orchid has been at land-based casinos for some time, and while I think Multiway slots perhaps aren't as popular as the normal 5 reel ones, they are still entertaining. Note though that they also have a high volatility rating so play carefully! Check out the
Vegas slots
page for more information on IGT games.
Being pretty much a clone of Treasures of Troy, the White Orchid slots have exactly the same expected return percentages (RTP). This is set to 94.93%, regardless of which of the
IGT casinos
you choose to play at, which is pretty much bang on the average as online slots go and usually a fair bit better then the slot machines on the Vegas strip.

this place is a ghetto. Believe me, i would give it 0 star, but the only star I am giving is for the maintnance guys. Nothing seems to work here. Their gym equipment, so outdated. half the machine don't work. It's very dirty. Their office only has one computer, one printer, they just removed the FAX machine??? So each time you need to send a fax, you must go ask for permission.

Taylor County Expo Board prioritizes list of upgrades to Commissioners Court
The Taylor County Commissioners Court listened Tuesday to what it called a "do-able" list of long-range projects for the Expo Center.
Jay Evans, planning committee chairman for the Taylor County Expo Board, led a commissioners workshop, giving the board' financial update and presenting seven priority projects deemed necessary for the Expo Center to remain attractive to organizations.
Evans reported to the court that the Expo board reports a good financial state compared to four years ago. The board currently has $148,865 in cash, a significant increase from the $49,228 it had in cash in 2009. He also said the board is making progress on paying its debts, with only $32,579 in notes payable now — down from $444,711 in 2009.
Evans said the board recently established a reserve fund that would maintain two months of operating capital to "ensure our financial stability moving forward." He then listed changes the board believes are needed at the Expo Center.
Livestock Barn/Horse Stalls: Current stall capacity for horses and livestock is 300-plus. Recommends replacing sheep pens with more versatile stalls for horses and smaller animals to increase stall capacity in the barn to 400.
Climate-Controlled Horse Barn: The only climate-controlled facility currently to handle equestrian events is Coliseum. A climate-controlled horse barn would reduce wear and tear on Coliseum and free more days for equestrian events at the Expo Center.
Storage/Maintenance facility: Multiple areas are used for temporary stalls and equipment storage, which leaves opportunity for loss or theft. This addition would be aesthetically pleasing and provide secure storage.
Other priorities: Restroom, sound system and other upgrades to Coliseum, adding lights to east side parking lot, adding RV restroom and shower facilities and addressing the need for a better main entrance and fencing.
Commissioners Stan Egger (Precinct 3) and Chuck Statler (Precinct 4) said the plans as presented were do-able. Judge Downing Bolls was absent from the meeting. Egger presided as pro-tem judge.
"I like the direction that we're going in and I like the focus," Statler said.
Evans said the board identified a local architect, Cadco Architects and Engineers Inc., to help produce a long-range site plan for the Expo Center. The court took no action on the presentation.
Items approved by the court include:
Authorizing purchasing staff to seek search for available commercial property to possibly become a storage facility.
Releasing "invitations for bid" for culverts, and gasoline and diesel for precinct equipment.

The NFL today filed a legal memorandum asking that a federal court deny a motion filed by NFL players asking that the NFL lockout be enjoined for a number of reasons, including questions about whether the NFLPA had legally decertified as a union. The U.S. District Court in Minnesota is scheduled to hear arguments in the players' class action antitrust suit, Tom Brady v the NFL, on April 6 on whether the court should issue an injunction against the NFL lockout. But the NFL in its legal brief today said that the court should stay this case pending a decision by the NLRB, which is currently investigating the NFL's unfair labor practices charge it filed against the NFLPA on Feb. 14.
The NFL in its brief said the NFL lockout "is unquestionably lawful and permitted by federal labor law" and questioned whether the NFLPA legally decertified as a union. "A union cannot, by a tactical declaration akin to the flip of a switch, transform a multiemployer bargaining unit's lawful use of economic tools afforded it under the labor laws into an antitrust violation giving rise to treble damages and injunctive relief," the NFL said.
The NFL said questions about whether the NFLPA legally renounced its status as a labor union with collective bargaining rights should be under the jurisdiction of the NLRB. "The NLRB is now considering whether the union has purported to disclaim in order to gain a tactical bargaining advantage, rather than disclaiming unequivocally and in good faith, as the federal labor laws require," the NFL states in its brief. "If the Board finds such a violation, it will issue an order requiring the union to return to the collective bargaining table. Under the primary jurisdiction doctrine, the Court must stay this case pending the outcome of the Board proceedings," the NFL states.
The NLRB is currently investigating the NFL's charge that the union did not bargain in good faith, something that the NFLPA has denied at the time the charge was first filed. It is not clear how long that investigation could take, but legal experts have previously told SportsBusiness Journal that could take months.

2/19/2013 //
"As we speak, every single day, 5000 Syrians cross the border into neighboring countries", Ambassador Pedersen said in a panel discussion on forced migration. The majority of these migrants are women and children. In 2012 72 million people were forced to leave their homes, according to the World Disasters Report 2012.
The World Disaster Report 2012 presents facts and figures about the consequences of disasters on humans and society. The 2012 report highlighted the topic of forced migration. Professor Roger Zetter, editor of the report, presented some of the results. The report was welcomed by Ambassador Pedersen as broad and encompassing, addressing a wide range of topics on forced displacement. The report has a broader definition of forced migration including migration caused of disasters, violence, conflicts, climatic change and development projects. It underlines the complexity of what are forcing people into migration. Among them 46 percent are children under 18 years of age.
"In order to act responsible, we must ensure that our responses are guided by the fundamental principles of humanity, human dignity, human rights and international cooperation", Ambassador Pedersen stated in his opening remarks.
Ms. Michelle Klein Solomon, Permanent Observer to the UN, International Organization for Migration, pointed out that climate change as a cause of migration is not new, but that it will continue to be a significant issue in the future. Professor Zetter also stated that climate change will displace millions of people in the coming years.
The panelists emphasized that it is important to minimize the negative economic impacts and costs when thinking about refugees, and rather maximize the positive and productive opportunities. It is a need for development strategies about the long time possibilities that the migrants represent. The development the last decades has been that forced migration has been urbanized, something that brings further challenges to the international society in dealing with these issues.
The Permanent Mission of Norway to the UN co-hosted the debate along with the Permanent Mission of Bangladesh and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The panel consisted of Permanent Representative of Norway to the UN, Ambassador Geir O. Pedersen, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the UN, Ambassador Abdul Momen, Mr. Roger Zetter, Professor of Refugee Studies at the University of Oxford, Mr. Alastair Ager, Professor of Clinical Population and Family Health at Columbia University, Ms. Michelle Klein Solomon Permanent Observer to the UN, and Ms.Joelle Tanguy from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

Actually what you wrote definitely came across as mocking of the personal injuries I suffered because of your personal dislike of myself. But I don't expect anything better from a troll and attention whore like you have become so its kinda moot at this point.
I do stand by my testicular fortitude statement though. I would like to think if someone was e-man enough to spend day after day essentially calling someone a liar they would have the chutzpah to say it to their face when given the chance in real life.
The irony of being called an attention whore by you is humorous. Your coming off worse with every post. Take a deep breath and think again before you make a further ass of yourself.

The appeal of the Final Destination films cannot be found in their carbon-copied plots, nor can it be found in their brunette, Gap-Fall-collection protagonists. It's all about the kills.
The director passed away on location in South Africa.
"Final Destination" begins when a teen and his friends escape death at an airport. But death is coming back for them. The teens must form a way around death's design….
"Final Destination" movies have gained the reputation for being some of the most disgusting yet entertaining films ever made, a horror franchise that blood and guts fans have grown to…
How many movies can they turn out with the word "final" in the title?
Apparently Emma Bell jives well with horror. Currently portraying a survivor of the zombie apocalypse in AMC's "The Walking Dead," Bell will take on the role of Death's leading female target in the fifth installment of the Final Destination series next year.
"Derp! Why did I drive into this log?"Still no word on what totally retarded plot contrivances will make their way into Final Destination 5, but today we have news that a director has been hired. Avatar's 2nd HMFIC, Steven Quale, will be in charge of impaling sexy teens for the fifth go-round. Really though, who builds a javelin manufactory next to batting cages? That's an accident waiting to happen.Quale has a lot of experience with 3D, having co-directed the underwater documentary Aliens of the Abyss with James Cameron as well as serving as 2nd Unit Director on Avatar, so perhaps this movie won't be a complete wash-out. No details from Eric Heisserer's script have been released, so we don't know what narrowly-avoided cataclysmic event will serve as a catalyst for the plot. The fourth entry was based around a NASCAR race gone horribly awry, and seeing how these movies get progressively dumber, I'm going to say this one opens with an Insane Clown Posse concert fire. R.I.P. Juggalos. C U in Shangri-La. (THR)
Much like with inbreeding, The Final Destination series has degraded in quality with each film. The first was a unique twist on the horror genre, the second compensated for its weak story with impressive gore sequences, the third happened, and the NASCAR-based fourth installment was the film equivalent of a mongoloid. BUT it was a 3D mongoloid and 3D equals big box office.With that being said, Warner Bros. head bro Alan Horn announced at ShoWest that a fifth installment of the franchise will be breathing through its mouth in the near future. Why? "Because we couldn't resist," according to Horn.No details yet on who will direct or which sexy teens will be cast, but that's fine because you probably won't know who the hell they are anyway. (/Film)
Just a friendly reminder from Screen Junkies to never piss off Elisabeth Shue. We here at the site absolutely love this thespian and her solid body of work. Even Hide and Seek. With guns like those she could have easily been cast as Thor.(Photo: TMZ) The Final Destination trailer premieres…. on Friday. Sorry if I got your hopes up. (Dread Central) Dead Snow trailer is dead-Nazi-riffic! (The Playlist) Scream 4 set to become mockery of itself. (Empire) Scott Pilgrim vs. The Avengers. (/Film) First pic of Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex. Read it and weep, Thomas Jane. (Cinematical)

- Tracey has all the netball going well although someone must of killed a black cat by smashing a mirror over it coz injuries are incredible so far. In the next weeks we will get some back but unfortunately we have lost Melissa for the season with her second reconstruction.
- A' Grade have been the hardest hit with injury, the young girls of the B' Grade are learning all the time but the lack of players is making it hard for coach Jo LePage. C' Grade are always there abouts, their consistancey is fantastic. The under 17 girls are a great group of girls and compete well, Carley's girls are again there abouts only dropping a couple of games so far and the under 13's are the same. The abilty of our Club to keep the girls coming through and playing at such a high standard is a credit to the ladies in charge. Whats even more impressive is we have a junior team in the association league ready to step up next year.
- Representing our club at League level on the week end we had Lucas White, Aaron Ware & Adam Cook play for Gippsland Senior on Saturday as well as Tim Landells and Andy Murray in the under 18's. On Sunday in the Netball we had Eva Lindsay play for the under 13's, Aimee Tessari and Ally Cengia both playing for the Under 15's in two sides. Both Eva & Aimee go on to the next level

The Denver City Council delayed Monday night's scheduled vote on an ordinance that would allow residents to sell homegrown produce and some homemade food items.
A public hearing was still held at the City and County Building. But Councilwoman Robin Kniech said the vote was delayed until July 14 because of a snafu in notifying registered neighborhood organizations of the proposal, as required by ordinance.
The council did send out many other notifications to interested parties, she said.
The proposal would allow residents to sell many items from their homes, including uncut fruits and vegetables, whole eggs, and home-prepared food products such as jellies, jams, honey, teas, herbs, spices and some baked goods. Wheat Ridge and Arvada already have allowed such sales, which were made possible under the 2012 Colorado Cottage Foods Act.
The council passed a floor amendment Monday, drafted after public input, that would change the time home sales are allowed to begin each day to 8 a.m. from 7 a.m., with sales still ending at dusk.

OSHA Launches National Emphasis Program for Chemicals
July 29, 2009 | Kara Sissell
OSHA today announced the launch of its National Emphasis Program (NEP) for the chemical sector, saying it will initially focus on facilities in New England, the Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest. However, OSHA says NEP inspections could happen elsewhere in the country, although those would be more likely to be the result of an accident or compliant. Facilities that are covered by OSHA's process safety management (PSM) standard, and those that are required to submit Risk Management Plans (RMP) to EPA, are subject to the unannounced OSHA inspections.

Wisconsin senior midfielder athid=5598&deptid=122"> --> Kenny Dix was named to the Big Ten Mens Soccer All-Championship team Sunday after helping the Badgers battle to a scoreless tie in their quarterfinal-round matchup with Michigan on Thursday.
Dix, a native of Atlanta, Ga., was recognized following a career season in 2008. He finished the regular campaign with career-high totals in goals, assists and shots.
He entered the season with one career goal but has scored twice in 2008, while also doling out three assists after posting just one in his previous three seasons. Dix has 20 shots on the season, one in which he has made a career-high 18 starts and matched a career high by playing in 19 games.
Michigan State, which claimed its second Big Ten tournament title with a 1-0 win over Indiana on Sunday, swept the top awards. Spartans senior forward Doug DeMartin earned Offensive Player of the Championship honors, while MSU goalkeeper Avery Steinlage was named the Defensive Player of the Championship.
The Badgers (9-7-3) now await word on a possible NCAA tournament berth, with the 48-team field to be announced between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Monday on ESPNews.

Facebook has been the most popular photo sharing service in the world for a few years now without even trying. Now that it is trying, few will have a chance of competing.
Facebook has been working on a feature which would enable users to have all of their photos automatically uploaded to the site.
It's been testing the feature since August, but it is only now making it available widely.
Users can have all of the photos they take with their phones uploaded to Facebook to a private folder, if they choose to.
"We're excited to roll out photo sync, which makes it easier to share photos. With this feature, photos from your phone sync automatically to a private album on the web," Facebook announced.
You have to turn on the feature, it's not enabled by default, so your pics won't end up on Facebook without you realizing it.
If you do enable it, photos will be uploaded as soon as you take them, depending on several factors such as whether it's set to WiFi-only, your battery level and so on.
Your photos end up in a private album, in Photos > Synced from Phone. Only you will be able to see them, but you can share the ones you want with others.
Facebook is hardly the first to roll out a feature, Dropbox has been focusing on automatic photo uploads for the past year or so. Its desktop and mobile apps can now integrate with the operating system and sync all of your photos to the cloud.
Google+ got a similar feature several months ago, Instant Upload makes it possible to sync a photo to Google+ Photos as soon as you take it.
If anything, Facebook is late to the party. That said, Facebook Photos is so big it can be as late as it wants. There are more photos on Facebook than on plenty of other services combined.
With the new photo sync feature, you can expect the rate of growth to accelerate with Facebook further distancing itself from its competitors.

Hey guys,
once again having problems with my USP (but I still love it unconditionally). The (2mm?) hex screw attaching the rear sight and blow-back unit to the seems to be stripped. The reason why I suspect this is because I am using a 5/64 inch hex key (approx. 2mm, 1.98mm) and the hex key just turns in the screw hole with little resistance. I was trying to take the blow-back unit off the slide for cleaning and re-lubricating when I noticed this problem. Am I using the correct size hex key or is the screw stripped. I have also never taken the blow-back unit off before so this is the first time that I am trying to take the blow-back unit off the slide.
Thanks for any help!

Try and get hold an actual metric 2mm hex key from the hardware store. Strangely enough.... the few mm could very well make the big difference in unscrewing the hex screw.

Ummm... the screw is stripped to a circle because I was stupid by trying to keep unscrewing it... Does anyone know how to remove a stripped hex screw? I tried super gluing the tip and turning but it didn't work, the glue just cracked and broke. Also, I don't think the tolerances for hex keys could be so tight to the 0.01mm, but then again, neither would the 5/64 be made to tight tolerances either. I can't find part 119 on the pro shop either as I would like to get a new one once I can somehow remove the screw.

You will need a small screw extractor. You can get the at Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Here is a pic: http://www.sears.com...=7&blockType=G7
