This project's funding goal was not reached on August 4, 2012.
A new grind house film where the survivors of a zombie apocalypse are gay people and church people. Written & directed by Israel Luna.
About this project
What is Kicking Zombie Ass for Jesus (KZAFJ)?
Kicking Zombie Ass For Jesus is a full-length feature about a zombie apocalypse where the only survivors are gay people and church people. They find themselves barricaded in the same building and must decide to either continue fighting against each other or work together to strengthen their chance for survival; not to mention lots of action, zombies and gore!
Why This Movie Needs To Be Made:
This film was inspired by the flood of anti-gay, despicable, hate speech from churches, organizations and politicians. This bullying needs to stop! As filmmakers, we have a voice to fight back by creating a movie that faces these issues head on.
Full Synopsis:
A miracle pill intended to save the world causes unforeseen side-effects forcing the surviving gays and bible thumpers in a small Texas town to join forces or fall prey to the flesh craving mutants.
The new horror comedy Kicking Zombie Ass for Jesus, written and directed by controversial filmmaker Israel Luna (Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives), begins one momentous night as the world gathers to take a miracle pill scientists say prevents all viral diseases. Hours later after the synchronized celebration ends there's a sudden and unsettling quiet that blankets the globe. Then, everything turns dire as it becomes all too clear that everyone who took the pill suffers from horrific side-effects. As a few, defiant, non pill-popping survivors emerge in the small Texas town of Eliasville, they find themselves seeking refuge in an abandoned building near the town's center. Soon after Beth Anne, a transgender woman, and Phil, a tough-as-nails lesbian, have finished barricading themselves safely inside they quickly realize that they are not the sole survivors after encountering Samuel, pastor of the local "Gay is not Ok" Pentecostal church, along with his wife, Janice, and closeted son, Ethan. While butting their proverbial heads at every turn things get even crazier upon discovering a madcap group of vigilante survivors all of whom are challenged to band together in hopes of surviving the zombie apocalypse that surrounds them.
This film is the second installment of the Grindhouse-styled trilogy from La Luna Entertainment and serves as a companion piece to Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives, aka TOTWK. After the unexpected controversy and praise writer/director Israel Luna garnered with TOTWK many movie critics have posed the question, "What will he do next?" With "Zombie" Luna promises not to disappoint with yet another sure-to-be cult classic that offers up relevant issues of justice and equality set within a mainstream genre that's laden with elements of old-school horror.
Upcoming Information:
We're excited about so many things happening with this project. We'll be posting more videos throughout the campaign including information about the director and producer and their past projects, info on where your money goes when you donate, special messages from cast members and any updates as the buzz gets out! We have a crazy-packed schedule of videos for you during our campaign so please keep checking back!
Why are you launching a campaign on Kickstarter?
Independent movies starring LGBT characters are still under-represented in movies. Gay filmmakers are in the minority and the studios ignore these types of projects. But thanks to all of you, we know that there is an audience for LGBT characters and filmmakers and with your donations we will make this happen together!!
Besides donations, how else can we help?
There are so many ways that you can help the project. Please like our video and then tweet, post on Facebook or send out a personal message to anyone you feel should be aware of our project.
When will the film be released?
We will be planning a premiere in early 2013.
What is your Kickstarter goal and how will you use the money?
Our goal is to raise $175,000 which will cover the costs of our shooting production in Texas and our post production in San Francisco.
Can you exceed the goal?
Yes, yes, yes! Our goal is the minimum we require to make the film and we are scrimping and saving any way possible to make that happen. If we exceed the goal then that gives us ways to make the film even better –which means more blood, more gore and bigger and better visual FX!
Can donors increase pledges once they have been made?
Yes! If you have already donated, and are signed in to your account, then instead of a green "Back This Project" button on our page, there should be a blue "Manage Your Donation" button. Click that, and you can enter a new amount or choose a new incentive!
What do donors receive for giving?
All gifts are listed besides the donation tiers and some of our favorites are the character trading cards, the t-shirts and also signed scripts from our stars.
When will I receive my rewards?
Below each reward is an estimated timeframe for receiving your rewards. If there are any updates on the timeframe we will send a Kickstarter message following our successful campaign.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is included in the donation amount!
How will you know where to send my incentives, or what t-shirt size I wear?
After our deadline, we will send you a Kickstarter message (which automatically forwards to the email address you gave Kickstarter) requesting all the necessary information.
Can I give an incentive as a gift?
Gifting an incentive is awesome! After the campaign, when we message you for details on your incentives, you can then give us the information for the person you wish to gift.
What happens if the goal isn't reached in time?
If we don't reach our goal by the deadline then we get nothing and its back to square one. We're crossing our fingers that your spreading the word and your donations will help make this film happen by our deadline!
How can I contact you?
Right below the project title in blue is a "send message" prompt that will get messages directly to us.
I want more information…

IronBirds Win in Lowell, 5-3; Snap Spinners Streak at Six-Straight Victories
LOWELL, MA – The IronBirds plated four runs in the eighth inning on Thursday night in Lowell and came from behind to defeat the Spinners, 5-3. RHP Sander Beck tossed four scoreless frames out of the bullpen and picked up his second win of the season. In his professional debut, RHP Branden Kline allowed three runs on four hits over three innings of work. The Orioles' 2012 second round pick struck out five and walked one on the night.
CF Anthony Vega led off Thursday night's contest with a bang. Facing RHP Pat Light, Vega hit a solo shot to right field. Vega's fourth home run of the season gave the Birds and early one-run advantage.
Branden Kline took the mound in the bottom of the first inning for the first time in his professional career. The Frederick, MD native retired the side in order including a strikeout of DH Devin Marrero.
In the second inning, Kline ran into some trouble. With one out, Kline walked 2B Mookie Betts. RF Aneury Tavarez followed up Betts. Tavarez hit a deep shot to centerfield. CF Anthony Vega raced to the warning track but could not make the play. Betts scored on the play as Tavarez trotted into third with a triple. CF Matty Johnson gave the Spinners the lead with a RBI single and 3B Matt Gedman capped off the inning with a RBI double to left-center.
As expected, Kline exited Thursday night's game after three innings. He allowed three runs on four hits while walking one and striking out five. Kline did not factor in the decision.
After two hits in the first inning, the IronBirds did not pick up another hit until the eighth inning. Facing RHP Raynel Velette, RF Lucas Herbst led off the frame with a fly ball to right-center. RF Aneury Tavarez and CF Matty Johnson did not communicate and the ball dropped in between the two. Herbst stood at second with a leadoff double. After a Joel Hutter fly out advanced Herbst to third, 3B Torsten Boss walked to end the night of RHP Raynel Velette. RHP Yunior Ortega entered out of the Spinners' bullpen. 1B Cameron Edman did not waste anytime facing Ortega. Edman hit a two-run double to tie the game at two. Two batters later, pinch hitter Sam Kimmel hit a grounder to second that plated Edman from third. SS Anthony Caronia capped off the four-run frame with a sac fly to right field.
Pitching with the lead for the first time in the night, Sander Beck retired the side in order in the eighth. Beck faced the minimum over four innings out of the bullpen.
Tommy Winegardner tossed a scoreless ninth inning en route to his team-leading seventh save of the save. Beck (2-3) picked up the win on the night while Yunior Ortega (2-3) got the loss.
With the win, the IronBirds improved to 24-32 on the year and matched their win total of the 2011 season.
The IronBirds and Spinners will finish up their three-game set on Friday night. RHP David Richardson (3-3, 4.21) will take the hill for Aberdeen while Lowell will turn to RHP Madison Younginer (0-0, 3.00). First pitch of the rubbermatch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. from LeLacheur Park. Coverage on the IronBirds Radio Network will begin at 6:50 p.m.

Gene LeBell talks Steven Seagal s----ing himself
It may come as a shock, but rumor has it that Steven Seagal is a creep. As former Pride commentator and fight coordinator Stephen Quadros relates "I had heard all the horror stories about how he would hurt actors and stunt performers, dislocated shoulders, kick guys in the nuts to see if they were wearing cups, etc. I had heard about Gene LeBell."
The LeBell story is legend.
As it goes, in 1991, Gene LeBell was working as a stunt coordinator on Out for Justice. At some point Seagal announced that due to his Aikido training, he was immune to chokes. When then 58-year-old LeBell heard about the claim, he gave Seagal the opportunity to test it.
LeBell set the choke up, Seagal said "Go" and Seagal promptly went. As the story goes, Seagal went to sleep and went #1 and #2 in his pants.
Ever since, either because of a rumored legal gag order (see action figure for confirmation), or because in the stunt business what happens on the set stays on the set, LeBell has never confirmed the story.
Now Ariel Helwani has come as close as anyone likely ever will to get Gene to confirm the Steven Seagal trousers s---ing escapade.
"When we had a little altercation or difference of opinion, there were thirty stuntmen and cameramen that were watching," said LeBell. "Sometimes Steven has a tendency to cheese off the wrong people, and you can get hurt doing that."
Gene LeBell: (Cackles) "… OK."
AH: "There is a story out there … did you in fact choke out Sensei Seagal, and is it true that he did in the process soil himself?"
GL: "Well, if a guy soils himself, you can't criticize him, because if they just had a nice big dinner an hour before, you might have a tendency to do that.
"Steven Seagal is a very outstanding martial artist. I've got nothing against Steven.
"Personally, myself I don't think he's taught these mixed martial artists how to win a match.
"He's done a lot for martial arts. But I know where he's insulted Randy Couture. Well, Randy Couture if he ever got mad would have him for lunch.
"And that isn't to put down Steven, but 'closed mouth don't catch any foot.'
AH: So, did that happen?
GL: You can't be bragadocious if you've done something. Everybody has their individual things that have happened. I personally don't think you should put down, as many people do with Steven, because he's trying to do his best.
AH: So does that mean, Gene, that you will not confirm this actually took place?
GL: "Well, if 30 people are watching, let them talk about it. You interview a boxer or a wrestler and its 'I, I, I' and 'me, me, me.' What do I know? Gene LeBell knows Gene LeBell. And if I tell ya the stories … everybody that tells you a story is the hero of their own story.

I'd say either because he didn't want to be bothere with the spotlight or because he doesn't have an action movie star 'look'. He's a master of judo, and one of his thoughts about fighting and martial arts would prolly make our heads asplode, but he's a short old man with no hair, glasses, and a big nose. Not exactly a casting director's dream... With all due respect, of course.

Another gene lebell thread?So...how come such an amazing superhuman judo guy was always just a simple "stuntman"? instead of a World famous Movie Action Hero?what went wrong?not bashing at all,just trying to decipher this enigma.

Really he talked in circles around it. He talked about shitting oneself in general. He talked about not telling your own stories and letting others tell them for you.You might infer from his manner of speech that the incident occurred but he did not confirm it.Of course we all "know" it happened, but we don't know it happened.
3/12/12 10:53 PM by thebasher
he also said that Rhonda would beat Bruce Lee in a fight. I actually agree with that but the dude is a little old and crazy

No, no, Timmay was another one of his students.. he's like a son to him. He didn't really show Timmay how to shart, he just gave him a few pointers on how to make it more effective.

Twitter shares drop by 18pc over slowing user growth
Twitter's shares have reportedly dropped by 18 percent, to 54.18 dollars, owing to a slowed user growth rate, the company revealed in its first-quarterly earnings report.
The microblogging site went public last November and despite never reporting profit; the company's shares rose sky high on the first day of trading.
However, the 140-character site now has 241 million monthly active users, up by 30 percent year-over-year, but that is only up by 4 percent from last quarter, Tech Crunch reports.
According to the report, Twitter users' engagement with the site, based on Timeline Views, also fell 7 percent to 148 billion.
Quarterly earnings for Twitter were up 116 percent from the fourth quarter a year ago, but it posted a net loss of 511.5 million dollars for the quarter, and a net loss for 2013 came in at 645.3 million dollars.
Questions about Twitter's ability to grow its user base and boost its ad revenue have been increasing since its IPO debut, with investors even calling the sudden surge in share prices soon after it went public as a tech-bubble.

Snubgate: Obama denies
posted at 10:10 am on January 30, 2008 by Bryan
Fox caught up with the terrorists lawyers' favorite candidate and queried him about the most important story happening at the moment: Did he or did he not prevent the Glacier from touching the hem of his garments?
He says he waved at her. Thank you, mainstream press, for giving us news we can use.
For the record, in my opinion the Gitmo lawyers' endorsement of Obama is worse than any of the endorsements that Ron Paul accepted. And I plan to keep on bringing it up.

Bubba Kush From Private Dealer (Kronos898)
It's been a bit since we've had a review in from Kronos898, who was a fan of this Bubba Kush overall!
Nice, chunky, golf ball-sized buds that were trimmed nicely. These buds are covered in beautiful trichomes from the inside out. Grown to perfect maturity, the trichomes are milky white, with just the right amount of amber. This batch had a really nice lavender blueish purple come through the medium green on the crown of almost every bud. Nice burnt orange pistils. As far as looks go, this is a really nice specimen.
This is going to be a 2 part smell review.
Pre Cure- I got this bud after it had been dried and maybe cured for 2 weeks at the most, and the smell represented that. It had hardly any smell– a slight kushy green smell, with skunk in the background. When I broke the buds open the smell amplified at least 3 times. It was a musky, skunky, sweet smell which was actually pretty nice, but you could still smell the chlorophyll within the bud. 6/10
Post Cure – The bud has been curing for around 6-7 weeks now, and the green chlorophyll smell has been leeched out of the buds, making way for a very nice ultra kushy smell. It smells friggin' fantastic, like sweet earthy lemongrass that had a skunk walk by an hour before. Much more earthy than lemony. With all the scents together, it stings the nostrils a bit. The extra time in the jar did it a lot of good. I'm not trying to say a 6-7 week cure is optimal, but it was night and day from the 2 week cure. 9/10
This stuff tastes great, even the 2 week cured stuff tasted good, but now it's fantastic. On the dry hit, this almost tastes like a more earthy OG Kush. On the inhale it's very smooth with an earthy hash taste and a definite tartness. I swear it almost tastes like kush and sour green apples on the aftertaste. Take all the good parts of the smell and add some sour green apples, and that's the taste. Awesome flavour… very different, and not like most Bubbas out there. 9/10
On the inhale it warms my head, making me feel sort of fuzzy, and quickly moves down through my entire body. It seems to stop at my ankles and wrists, leaving my feet and hands alone. I can type just as fast and as precisely as I would be able to without being on this Bubba.
After I have taken 3 hits, I really start to relax and feel the full effect of this medication. I'm locked to the couch wondering where my back pain has gone, and asking myself "Do I get pizza or cheeseburgers?" Yes, this is munchie inducing herb. I ended up smoking a bit too much too early and wanted to take a nap.
This is some powerful medication, with an almost narcotic effect. Great for evenings and nighttime. Screw Ambien, get some good Bubba Kush.
Medium – Long. 1.5 – 2.5 hours.
Overall, this was some really nice stuff with strong indica effects. Even before it was cured properly, it was some good medication, and now it's just much more enjoyable to smoke. Great taste, really potent, and after the cure the smell is awesome. I would definitely buy this again, but I would ask for a price drop 10 to 20 dollars, just for the cure. Some good meds for sure. –Kronos898

This is the true story of a man that wore many hats. He was a son, a father, a husband, and good friend to many but mostly… he was a law enforcement officer. He dedicated his life to serving and protecting people; some he did not even know. Terry Bandemer was "Top Cop" and received awards all the way from the Police Department to the Sheriff's Office and was given an American flag and an accommodation straight from the White House. He was shot, stabbed and looked death directly in the eye.
A K-9 handler, he and is best friend Major, a black shepherd that rode shotgun as Terry's partner for over ten years, tracked and apprehended criminals. Major, a highly decorated Police Dog, served without hesitation or concern for his own life next to Terry. He retired a "Top Dog" and best friend to Terry. He "took a bite out of crime" and enjoyed tracking the bad guys as he was born to do. He was a friend to all except the criminal.
Follow Terry and his furry partner as they embark on some of the most fascinating adventures and law enforcement officer could ask for. Some would end in tragedy and haunt Terry's dreams even today. Some would bring peace and a sense of safety to everyone Terry worked to protect. From murders to suicides and drug busts galore, Terry stood tall and faced his fears head on.
Terry's stories will grab you and hold you as you read of his life as a Peace Officer. He did it all for the safety of the people and it was never about the awards or accommodations he received throughout his career. A day in Minnesota named for him and recognition for his services, Terry remained himself. Quitting was never an option for him and the county's he worked for were safer to be in because of Terry and Major. "I'm a cop… I wear a badge." Book 'em, Danno."

Vandals attack Brighton cycle counter
Hi-tech, grant-funded machine disabled
It's a British cycling first, but not one that we can be proud of. Vandals have attacked and disabled a Danish-made machine which counts cyclists in real time in Brighton.
The £25,000 cycle counter located at Surrenden Park on Brighton's London Road is one of two installed in the town last year using European Union and Cycling England cash, reports the Argus.
The machines update the number of cyclists passing them in real time, with the figure for the day and the year-to-date total being visible to all on the manufacturer's website. But while the counter located at Mouselcoomb continues to rack up rider numbers, the Surrenden Park machine's readout is frozen in time at 23.01 on June 25, presumably the moment it was attacked.
The counters made by Olsen Engineering of Roskilde are installed across northern Europe from Dublin to Tampere in Finland by way of the Low Countries, their native Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
It seems, however, that our near neighbours are somehow able to resist the temptation to render them inoperative through physical attacks. Road.cc understands that this incident is the first in which one of the counters has been damaged to this extent through vandalism.
A spokesman for the council told us that data from the counters is used to help the organisation make decisions about where best to allocate funding to improve cycle facilities and to monitor how effective improvements have been. He added that the number of people cycling in Brighton & Hove has increased by 27% since 2004.
As for the task of repairing the counter, an engineer from the council's Highways department is due to carry out an inspection today to see if the machine can be fixed by the council itself. The repair costs will be borne by either the council alone or using money from the EU and Department for Transport
UPDATE:Brighton and Hove Council tell us that they have now repaired the counter and that it is fully functional once more.
I imagine a group of engineers sitting around a modernist table, built from wood that has been sourced from sustainable forests, a neat pile of pastries sat in the middle which everyone is too polite to reach out for and grab, in some carbon-neutral office building in Roskilde, quietly shaking their heads.

Alternatively some of us imagine the slope headed, knuckle dragging,work dodging council estate resident. Walking home after 10 pints of wife beater, kebab, having urinated into that machine thingy on Brighton sea front at 2300hrs.

Some pleb probably thinks he's "getting back" at all those "horrible cyclists."
Its the same mentality that keeps trying to boobytrap the cyclepaths around Southampton.

Maybe it was a public-school educated, workshy undergraduate who smashed it.
We don't know, of course... but surely vandals come from all social classes and income brackets?
Well done to the council for repairing it so quickly; maybe it was a seagull?

Queen Creek toddler recovering from near drowning
QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. — Authorities say a Queen Creek toddler is recovering
after nearly drowning in a backyard swimming pool.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said the 1-year-old girl is in stable
condition at a hospital after falling into the unfenced pool Friday evening.
Sheriff's spokesman Chris Hegstrom said a 13-year-old sibling was watching the
girl and three other children while their mother went to pick up another child.
Hegstrom said at about 6 p.m., a 4-year-old sibling found the toddler in the
pool and notified the teenager.
He said the 13-year-old pulled the girl from the pool and called the mother.
The mother performed CPR until paramedics arrived.
The sheriff's office said no charges will be filed against the mother.

L'Oreal Jennifer's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick is another gorgeous shade released with the L'Oreal Collection Privee for Spring 2014.
I've been reviewing each individual lipstick shade that represents a past or present celebrity face for L'Oreal Cosmetics recently. Each shade is inspired by a certain skin tone, hair and eye color, etc which in turn allows for you to select a nude, natural lipstick color that will be most suitable for your skin tone. Of course, I've never followed rules about color! I just wear what I like! But this does make it easy to find a more wearable, suitable shade of nude for lips in many cases.
Jennifer's Nude is one my favorites from the collection because not only is it a lovely nude lipstick but also because the formula is quite good compared to other colors I tried in the Collection Privee.
L'Oreal Jennifer's Nude Colour Riche Lipstick comes housed in a matte black tube with golden accent's and Jennifer's signature on the case. It looks like a higher end lipstick with quite an elegant feel. Although I did express in some of my pass reviews I'm unsure about this packaging and it seems like a magnet for dirt and grime the way NARS packaging is! We shall see it it stands the test of time.
Jennifer's Nude is a dusky beige nude pink with a mauve undertone. It creates a very barely there pink beige on my lips and is opaque enough to cover my own natural rosy lips. Where as other shades in this collection accentuated the natural lines of my lips I didn't feel like Jennifer's shade did this! It had a smooth finish with a buttery glide on lips and a wear time of three hours. I never felt like the Colour Riche Lipstick formula was dry but some of these shades made my drier lips look a bit patchy. This color had a smooth, even finish with a slight sheen. It does have a strong fragrance and flavor.
I thought the color was a perfect MLBB (my lips but better) natural, nude lip color for me. I rarely find shades like this as typically nude colors give me zombie lips but this is just perfect!
Loving this one.
It could be the best of the collection or at least so far it's proving to be!
Anyone have it?
Do share your thoughts!

4/9/14 20:58 Denise:
I'm loving this lipstick, I have tan skin and it's still the perfect nude.
4/10/14 9:57 sarahd:
This reminds of a lipstick I just picked up at Ulta this week! I am fair/blond hair and have never been able to find that perfect "my lips but better" shade. I found the perfect match with Mally's Natural Nude Evercolor lipstick. It is the perfect shade of pink nude that matches my lips perfectly!! I think you would like it!
4/10/14 10:34 Majick:
This is a very pretty color. I really like lippies with mauve – mauve seems to be a color that works for me in lippies and blush. I recently picked up IT Cosmetics Mauve blush and it's phenomenal for my skintone (light/medium with yellow undertones and some pink cheeks LOL)
4/10/14 10:37 Viola:
Which did you like better, Revlon Rose Velvet or L'oreal Jennifer? I think one of these might be just the pick me up I need
4/10/14 22:04 Dita:
I was just about to ask the exact same question! The color looks very different though, i might just have to get both 😉
4/10/14 17:44 Codename Duchess:
I loved this collection, not because every shade worked for me, but because it's one of the first nude lipstick collections I've seen where all of the colors weren't varying shades of beige. I can't wear nude lipsticks in general, but with the collection I knew I could find a shade that worked. I picked up both Jennifer and Frieda and like them lots, though the "nude" look still isn't my favorite. I have a sort of classic "winter" coloring and look much better in deeper lip shades that contrast with my complexion than ones that blend in.
4/10/14 19:45 Eraser:
I went for this because it had a noticeable pink tone. L'Oreal has done some of the best nude shades I've ever seen – if only they had kept the first skintone-matched series they did.
4/11/14 17:33 Michelle:
I made a special trip to my Walgreens today just to pick this lippy up after I saw your review! I LOVE IT!! It's not super opaque on me, but it's the best MLBB I have in my collection. I almost picked up Julianne's nude, but what you said about the formula and the cool hue stopped me from spending that money haha
Although I did pick up Julianne's nude nail polish and I love that too; I think I need to go back for the other colors.
4/12/14 16:27 Kathryn:
Already picked up a backup of this! I am very fair with cool undertones and nude lips are hard for me to pull off, but this one suits me perfectly!
4/14/14 15:31 Diana Maria:
I bought Doutzen's shade (pretty in the tube but really oddly light on the lips) a few weeks back. This shade looks gorgeous, chic, and very understated on you! I might go back to the grocer's and get this one :3
4/14/14 19:16 Arzu Gunther:
Very pretty on you!
Long time lurker of your beautiful blog – just wanted to thank you for all the time and beautiful words you put in to each of these posts. Can't wait to try this shade!

Famous wordsmiths discuss their favourite art
Published: Sunday 2nd of November 2008
A series of famous writers will discuss their favourite works of art at one of London's most intimate art galleries from next month.
The Courtauld Gallery will host Picture This, which will see six writers join Somerset artist in residence Ruth Padel to discuss their most-loved painting in the gallery.
Ms Padel said: "I wanted to hear other writers, people whose professional life depends on listening to their own imagination, responding to these paintings. Not in art historical ways but personally and imaginatively.
"I wondered if discovering how one painting matters to one person might shed interesting light on what a great art gallery is for. What does a painting do to us? Where can it take us?"
On November 20th Philip Pullman, author of the popular His Dark Materials series, will open the event with a talk on Manet's famous A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.
Among the other writers will be Hisham Matar, Colm Tobin and Gillian Beer, with the works under discussion featuring Cranach's Adam and Eve and Vanessa Bell's Conversation.
The Courtauld Gallery is located in one of the London's most cherished listed buildings, Somerset House, located just off the city's famous Strand thoroughfare.
LondonPass holders can gain free general admission to The Courtauld Gallery, with adults saving £5.

Zooey Deschanel Mistakenly Named a Boston Bombing Suspect
It's hard to imagine 'New Girl' star Zooey Deschanel as anything besides a wide-eyed, manic-pixie dream girl who just wants to spread good vibes and quirkiness.
Which is why folks in Dallas must've been a bit confused on Friday when the local Fox affiliate fingered Deschanel as a suspect in last week's tragic Boston Marathon bombing. "He is 19 year old Zoey Deschanel," read the caption, which was meant to refer to the now captured Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

Geode Hunting
When I was a kid my favorite thing to do was to collect rocks. Of my summer jobs, I think I enjoyed rock picking in the fields the best. We were to remove anything larger than our fist so the equipment would not be damaged when my dad went to do spring planting. We found small rocks and large rocks and even boulders that camoflauged themselves as tiny stony iceberg tips. We needed the loader bucket on the tractor to carry those out to the fence line. Being near the Iowa Great Lakes (Okoboji), glacial treasures abounded! We found quartz and red granite, sandstone with water holes, flakes of shale and mica, tons of agates, fossils, coral and round spheres we called "dinosaur eggs". We also found the occasional arrow head. I spent hours sorting and washing and selecting the prettiest and most interesting stones.
I loved to climb the rock piles – had to watch for snakes and other critters that liked that habitat. But that added to the excitement of our imaginary adventures of climbing mountains, being a geologist or an archeologist, or excaping from "bad guys" while having 'shoot outs' like the old westerns on TV. We also attempted to build walls and 'houses' with the rocks until Dad said we had to keep them in the pile so he wouldn't run over them with the pickup.
I always had rocks in my pockets, on my window sill, my bedside table and my secret treasure chest (a shoebox I kept under my bed). Come to think of i,t I still do! These days, I hear parents say to their kids,"go outside and play", but in minutes the kids are back at the door saying they are bored or they don't know what to do. Well, the reason is probably that they have not had an experience of discovery that stimulates their curiosity. Or they need an adult – like you – to share in the fascination of the outdoors!
I saw this article on Geode Hunting in the Iowa Outdoors magazine http://www.iowadnr.gov/Recreation/IowaOutdoorsMagazine.aspx and thought it was a perfect adventure for a budding 'rock hound'. Get your kids outdoors on an adventure they will always remember – www.keokuiowatourism.org Or go ask a farmer near you if you can pick rocks in the field – they might just take you up on it!
What nature items did YOU collect as a child? Did you have an adult who encouraged your curiosity in the natural world?

[Update Nov 12: Now the video has been pulled from StreetCarnage.com. This is all that is left (above).]
Our good friend Pinky of TV Carnage directed the video for Crystal Castles' latest hit Vanished. Well it seems the video for Vanished online prescription viagra is about to vanish along with apparently a ton of other Crystal Castles "official" music videos.
The only word I've heard as to why the video is being pulled is that it has something to do with a "long shitty story…all their management [are] suing each other."
As much as I want to name drop here and talk about who said what, it's a rumor so I'm not about to attach credibility to the post by putting official names. But the point remains that the video for Vanished has been forcibly pulled from TransCanadaRadio, and will soon be pulled from the director's site StreetCarnage.com. Crystal Castles should really let the video continue because Pinky is incredibly talented and with a bigger budget, time and resources, could pull something epic together.
Feel free to comment your support for Pinky's video and we'll hopefully send a message to the band and get the video back up. Thanks for the link love Pitchfork!

Pacific Coast Feather Company (PCFC) announced that it will rebuild its mattress
pad production operations in Gastonia, NC. The company's Wayne, NE, plant was
completely destroyed by an EF4 tornado on Oct. 4, 2013, which necessitated the
search for a new facility.
After an exhaustive two-month search, PCFC has concluded its evaluation of all
options pertaining to reopening a mattress pad facility. The company has identified
a suitable facility in Gastonia with some existing mattress pad equipment that
meets its urgent manufacturing needs. They have entered into an agreement to
purchase the building, equipment and land.
The company expects to complete the transaction by the middle of January and
immediately take possession of the property. They will then begin moving new,
state-of-the-art equipment to the new location. Upon completion of the plant
build-out, the new Gastonia facility will further expand PCFC's capabilities to
produce and deliver the high quality, innovative mattress pads for which it is
recognized. It will also be an attractive workplace for local talent experienced in
home textiles manufacturing.
While the company's customers have been very understanding and cooperative,
they have clear expectations about when PCFC must begin shipping mattress pads
again to have a chance of retaining the business into next season. To live up to
these expectations and quickly restore its mattress pads supply to customers, the
company must have a facility in place by Feb. 2014 and begin producing mattress
pads again by Mar. 2014.
PCFC entered into its new facility search and evaluation process with a heavy bias
toward rebuilding in Wayne, given its dedicated, skilled and experienced workforce
there. "Our colleagues in Wayne are hard-working, loyal employees who have been
caught up in a tragedy not of their making," comments Joe Crawford, PCFC
president and ceo. "We wish we could have found a way to stay in or near Wayne,
but the needs of the business leave us no choice but to move immediately back into
production to support our customers."
Since the devastating tornado, PCFC has been evaluating rebuilding on the
existing location, while also searching for a suitable building that was located in or
near Wayne and would allow the company to quickly reestablish its mattress pad
production. Unfortunately, despite all efforts to stay in Wayne, PCFC found no
feasible facilities to be available and came to the difficult conclusion that rebuilding
in Wayne is not a viable option. Nor could they locate an existing building close to
Wayne that would meet their needs.
"Though we are deeply saddened to leave Wayne, we are excited by the
opportunity to once again provide our customers with high quality mattress pads in
the very near future," says Crawford. "And, the facility in Gastonia provides us this
PCFC has a tremendous appreciation of the highly skilled workforce in Wayne. In
the hopes of easing the transition for these employees as well as the Wayne
community in general, PCFC has taken the following actions:
· Paid all employees full salaries since the tornado, and will continue to do so
through Dec. 31, 2013
· Paid all medical insurance premiums for all employees and family members since
the tornado and will continue to do so through Mar. 31, 2014
· Offered all employees with hire dates prior to Apr. 1, 2013 employment in and
relocation to the NC location
· Establishing a $200,000 scholarship fund to assist students with tuition and
book expenses at Wayne State College, with preferential consideration to children or
grandchildren of PCFC employees.

When asked to fill out the 'Sex' box in web-forms I always wish for an "It's complicated" option. Because for me it is, and has been since I was 17. On the one hand, 17 years of unquestioned masculinity gives me some damned good passing privilege for "M" (and my government identity documents having the "M" box checked off makes it even better). On the other hand, socially I'm a lot more adept with women and that's where my source of self-image is based these days, I get ma'amed by shop-staff 3 out of 4 times, so my passing privilege for "F" is good-enough.
I haven't felt strongly enough about this whole "F" thing to push me into a full transition. That's a lot of work, you see, and for the longest time I figured I'd have to present further down the F spectrum than I'd rather present just to pull it off. And I'm lazy. And cautious (see also: sysadmin). Can't I just hang around the middle somewhere?
Well, yes. These days I can. It's no longer either/or, more of an 'and' or 'none of the above'. This is the realm of the genderqueer and I am one.
I've been one for years, I just haven't made it part of my public persona. Waves
How does 'genderqueer' differ from 'transgender', which I have seen used?
A tricky question, with a tricky answer. The scope of 'transgender' includes a wide variety of people. The term 'genderqueer' has a narrower scope, which is largely (though not completely) overlapping with 'transgender'. Also, genderqueer is newer, and seems to include people who:
- Aren't transitioning to anything, they're just playing with gender presentation.
- Are transitioning, just to something like "none of the above".
- Could transition to something widely recognizable, but not just yet.
As I said, tricky. For more on this, see a handy page I made.
Does this mean I should change what pronoun I use for you?
Not if you don't want to, or already have a habit using one. I'm not that picky with the people who already know me.
You're dodging the question. What pronoun do you prefer to have used?
For random one-off encounters like the barrista at Starbucks, I prefer the feminine. For people I already know, stick with what you're comfortable with. For people I'll know in the future... we'll just have to find out.
Are you going to change your official answer to F?
That'd be nice, but that's a lot of work. The states that even have a legislated policy to change that marker on drivers-licenses all require at least one note from a physician declaring this that and the other thing, and several require proof of surgery (not happening here). Birth-certificates are another matter, and things are usually more complicated.
The physician/surgeon requirement can be gamed, or so I've heard. Get two sympathetic surgeons to look you over, say "good enough" and sign the papers without actually rearranging bits. The state that issued my birth-certificate requires more than just attestation over the 'appropriate surgery', it defines the surgery so... may have to wait until that state joins the 21st century before trying that. It may be another decade, I'm not in a hurry.
Also, it's not like anyone other than the TSA and emergency medical professionals really look at that marker. Getting an F means I get to have a pregnancy test before emergency medical treatment, and the nice TSA staffer won't look at me odd if my presentation doesn't match the marker.
Are you changing your name?
Nope, I'm keeping sysadmin1138.
No, your wallet name.
Oh. Um, maybe. Need to pick a name first, though. Hard to do that without something to change it to you know?
If I go there, I'll be sure to let the people who care about that know.
Would this whole thing have something to do with why you're the only ServerFault moderator who doesn't have their wallet name on their profile?
Yes, yes it is. I prefer the undefined-presumed-male image on SF. Yes, I'm aware that this blog post will change that. Oh, darn.
Still not putting my name up there, though.
Does this mean you're going to start blogging about gender issues now?
I don't see blog content changing much, honestly. This is a technical blog after all, not a social-issues one. While I definitely do have opinions in that regard, I won't be sharing them here.
Did you always know about this?
Hah, no. The swift upside the head arrived when a friend was crying on my shoulder about how devastatingly gorgeous a mutual friend was and how I couldn't possibly understand how good looking he was. And I realized that, actually, I did. Um, crap.
The introspection from that event triggered the line of questions that brought me to questioning my gender identity. On reflection there were a few signs and portents before that event which should have been a clue that I had an unconventional gender, I just didn't notice.
Wait, did you just come out as gay?
No, bi. By that point I'd been leering (discretely) at girls for at least four years. Having that happen just gave me more people to have trouble talking around, damn it.
Aren't you afraid that this'll hurt your employment chances? You're kinda coming out as "weirdo", and companies don't like hiring weirdos.
The way to think of this is me applying a bozo-filter to companies I work for. Yes it will hurt my employment chances, but odds are I wouldn't like working for that kind of company anyway. Plenty of companies hire weirdos, and even advertise that fact.
More and more states are adding explicit employment protections for gender-presentation, but that really doesn't mean much in the tech-hiring market where hiring for 'cultural fit' is so endemic. And do you really want to sue your way into a job?
Does this mean you'll be in a dress for LISA?
Hah. No. Though you may see me in a kilt (A/C and weather permitting; LISA being a late Autumn convention doesn't improve your chances).
Remember that bit about me not going for a full transition because I thought I'd have to go too far towards F than I wanted to go? I still don't see myself in a dress. Just a mite too fem.
That said, if they decide to do another Formal Night, I just might reach for the other side of the closet; last year's suit was about as alien as a dress would be. We'll see.
If you have more questions relating to the transing of Gender, I wrote up a quick gender-thingies 1001 page which should help a bit.

Clearwater, Florida - A Clearwater police officer allegedly shot a man on Saturday, Oct. 26 after that man expressed suicidal thoughts to a friend earlier in the day.
Police were called to 3018 Merrill Avenue. at 4:21 p.m. after the man's friend became concerned. The man, possibly in his 60s, reportedly told his friend he had no reason to live because of various problems he was having. The friend called police an hour after leaving the Merrill Avenue residence.
When police arrived, they tried talking to the man via his house phone and cell phone. They also used a loudspeaker on a police cruiser outside the home, but the man reportedly ignored them.
Authorities say the man then came out of the house armed with a gun. He refused police commands to drop the weapon. Fearing for their safety, one of the officers fired a single shot.
The man was taken to Mease Countryside Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a 6:30 p.m.
The officer, a 12-year veteran, was not injured. He was placed on paid administrative leave.

Bikini-Clad Natalie Portman Plays on the Beach With Aleph!
It's hard to believe Natalie Portman gave birth just one year ago.
The Oscar winner, 31, recently showed off her stunning post-baby body on the beach alongside her new husband, Benjamin Millepied (the couple tied the knot August 4) and their 14-month-old son, Aleph. See more photos of Natalie Portman's beach outing.
PHOTOS: Natalie's gorgeous pregnancy
Their beach time may in fact be a delayed honeymoon for the Black Swan actress and her choreographer love; instead of jetting off to an exotic location after exchanging vows, the couple instead opted to attend a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert on the Tuesday following their nuptials.
"She has this glow about her these days," a source close to Portman recently told Us Weekly about the star's new life as a mom and wife. "There's been a change in her since the little man arrived. She and Benjamin are so content."

When we really think about it, 2008 was a great year for K-pop. Big Bang solidified their popularity with "Haru Haru." The Wonder Girls unleashed international dance cover magnet, "Nobody." Rain sent heatwaves to the dance floor with "Rainism." "Mirotic" arrived in all its TVXQ glory. 2AM, 2PM, SHINee, IU, Davichi, Navi and U-Kiss were among the year's debuts. And Fin.K.L-member-gone-solo-singer, Lee Hyori, took over the airwaves. "U-Go-Girl," Hyori's first single from third album It's Hyorish, was an instant hit, topping online charts and winning several awards on live music programs. Unsurprisingly, the catchy track was penned by hook song masters E-Tribe (whom you can thank for Girls' Generation's "Gee" the following year).
Some of us tend to over-think small problems and/or get worked up over stuff we can't control. What should I wear today? How should I act? Does this person like me? What if something bad happens? Don't worry about it! Listen to these words of wisdom, directly from Lee Hyori to you: "Don't sweat the small stuff and just be the awesome person you are." There, you feel all warm and fuzzy now, don't you? You're welcome.

Basildon Park
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
An 18th-century house, a 1950s home
Basildon Park, a Georgian mansion surrounded by parkland, was lovingly rescued by Lord and Lady Iliffe in the mid 1950s. The house you see today is a re-creation and restoration of the 18th-century mansion. They restored the elegant interior and scoured the country salvaging 18th-century architectural fixtures and fittings. Lord and Lady Iliffe filled their comfortable new home with fine paintings, fabrics and furniture, which can still be enjoyed by you today.
Make the most of your visit by treating yourself to a cream tea, experience the nostalgia of our 1950s kitchen, or stretch your legs following one of our waymarked trails through the 400 acres of historic parkland.
Volunteer open days
We are always on the look-out for new people to join our team, particularly room guides and car park attendants. The next volunteer open days are:

Basildon Park lit up the small screen in ITV's Downton Abbey, the series five finale in November 2014. The interior of the house also featured in the London Season, 2013. Why not take a look behind the scenes and discover how Basildon Park became Grantham House?

Kochi: With rains receding, the Public Works Department, National Highway Authority of India and corporation authorities have started emergency patch works of damaged roads in the city. The PWD authorities have started works at Shanmugham Road, BTH Road and the stretch from Palarivattom to Kakkanad and other areas in the city where roads are in a poor condition.
"We've started only emergency patch works by filling potholes with gravel and concrete powder which is not very effective. Proper tarring is possible only when rain abates," said P.P. Benny, executive engineer, PWD (Roads).
The National Highway Kodungalloor division is carrying out the repair works at the rundown Edappally railway over bridge and its approach road.
Meanwhile, the corporation authorities, in pursuance of a council decision, have issued notices to contractors seeking an explanation for the damage of roads that were re-laid hardly a year ago.
Most of the roads including those recently re-laid with bitumen macadam and bitumen concrete were damaged in the heavy monsoon. The coat of bitumen laid over the roads was washed away at places. The pothole-filled roads are slowing down the movement of vehicles leading to traffic snarls at several places including major junctions .

Killzone 4 reminds me of a slight upgrade from PS3 graphics.
Some things it does well but it's really hard to see much from the badly compressed video.
And I learned not to trust teaser scripted videos.
For example look at the demo footage of Aliens Colonial Marines.
They pretended to be playing the demo when it was mostly just scripted.
I am not saying the game looks bad but right now it's hard to judge from the badly compressed 720P video.

Using a cryengine game to compare to is almost unfair. DX11 support + some other amazing technology against a alpha/beta level game on prototyped hardware that is stuck using OpenGL is hardly a good comparison. Besides launch titles (almost) never look as good as later releases.
Anyways if this is really in game footage like they seem to claim, it's pretty nice for a console.

I did fine some high quality images of Killzone 4 which make the game look better than that horribly compressed video.
They are most likely bullshots since the resolution is all over the place, but It probably won't look much different than this aside from having weaker AA.

My hope is to meet other believers of like-faith who follow Torah for fellowship, friendship and study of the Scriptures. I believe in the living Creator YHWH and my heart's desire is to follow my Messiah Yahushua in a way of life that is free from the teachings and traditions of man. I came out of the church system in 2006, but it was not until 2009 that the Father showed me my identity as part of Yisrael, and so I have yet much to learn. My prayer is that the Father give me eyes to see His Truths, and a heart to love Him and obey Him in all things. I am 41 years of age and reside in Tennessee in a small town outside of Nashville. I have one child no longer living with me, and have been recently widowed, sadly losing my husband from cancer. I am looking to YHWH now to see the next steps He would have me to take in the many circumstances that are before me. I live out in the country and enjoy gardening, cooking, photography, sewing, going for walks and decorating my home. As far as work goes, I have mostly worked with children and the elderly.

They became like they were because of their power if you had their power and could knock out anybody and are the most feared man in the world it can go to your head, It also goes to the way your life has gone, there will be guys who don't hit hard who are angry and have the ''attitude'' your talking about Tyson was a whimpy kid he said fat and scared and said he beat up a guy in his first fight he must of had power then. Liston and Foreman were like that because Liston was treated like a thug and Foreman because he said the easiest way to deal with people was like he saw Liston do because nobody would mess with him,
Rocky Marciano said he didn't like boxing because of the ruthlessness he had to have and he was one of the nicest guys ever yet he hit like he did...
By your logic guys like Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, David Tua, Max Baer, Tony Zale, Floyd Patterson should hit like sissies? because they didn't have the attitude your talking about....
And so i guess a guy like Pernell Whitaker had that attitude so i guess he must of had INSANE punching power i guess he just never wanted to use it ....
