Finding a Rhythm in the Space Between Styles
Built on a foundation of hand claps, tablas, harmonium riffs and urgent, husky harmonies, the Sufi devotional music of the Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948-97) was captivating, his high tenor swirling above the appealing rhythms. In his lifetime, Mr. Khan collaborated with Peter Gabriel, Eddie Vedder and many others. Since his death, his music has been remixed for the dance floor or used in dance-company soundtracks. But the Park Slope-based percussionist Brook Martinez has found the most innovative adaptation of Mr. Khan's music yet: It's the repertoire for an 11-piece big band called the Brooklyn Qawwali Party.
Mr. Martinez, who is 33, formed the band in 2004, and it soon began playing monthly at Tea Lounge in Park Slope. Its following has since grown via gigs at Joe's Pub and globalFEST. On Saturday, the group will perform at Barbès.
"I was really impressed with how well they captured the spirit of the music," said Bill Bragin, director of public programming at Lincoln Center, who booked the band during his days as director of Joe's Pub. "It's not a dalliance. Brook has a lot of integrity and a real serious interest in this music."
During his freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, Mr. Martinez met Nate Chinen, now a music critic for the New York Times, who introduced him to key jazz recordings. The music of John Coltrane, in particular, resonated. "So much of what I heard was based in spiritual practice, not entertainment," Mr. Martinez said last week over tea at a wine bar in his neighborhood. "It interested me far more than pop music."
Then, to pursue his interest in music, the percussionist from Ambler, Pa., transferred to New York University in 1998 and took a part-time job at the Manhattan-based World Music Institute, a leading presenter of traditional dance and music. At NYU, he fell in with a crowd playing free jazz, but he began to grow dissatisfied with the music. "It was exciting to play," he said, "but I felt it wasn't connecting with the audience."
The World Music Institute had been one of the main presenters of Mr. Khan's concerts in New York, and its library of discs provided Mr. Martinez with access to a formidable catalog of the Pakistani artist's work. Mr. Martinez made mixtapes and gave them to his musician friends. They were so enthusiastically received and circulated that sometimes the tapes found their way back to him, sent his way by people unaware he'd put them together.
After several years of enthusiastic study of Asian music and culture, Mr. Martinez began thinking about merging his Eastern and Western musical interests. "I related so well to Khan's music," he said. "There was a lot of call and response, improvisation and simple melodies." He structured his band to parallel a traditional Qawwali combo—with horns to mirror the voices, percussion, harmonium—and then added his own twist: bass and guitar.
Kris Davis, a pianist and composer who plays harmonium in the band, said she was attracted by the tightly structured spontaneity within the music. "The improvisations are shorter," she said via email. "They are little interjections in between a repeating melody, and those sections get passed around many times within the group."
The Brooklyn Qawwali Party has released one self-titled recording on its own label, and its four tunes ably capture the urgent harmonies and intricate rhythms of Qawwali while incorporating new influences, most notably a snarling guitar riff to the classic "Mustt Mustt."
"We're a bit too world music for most jazz clubs and a little too jazz for some nonjazz clubs," said Mr. Martinez, citing a shortage of proper venues for the band.
In the Brooklyn Qawwali Party, Mr. Bragin sees a parallel to Antibalas, the Brooklyn-based Afrobeat ensemble that began as a tribute band focused on the music of Nigerian superstar Fela Anikulapo Kuti but has emerged with a sound all its own, as well as to Red Baraat, a Brooklyn band that blends northern Indian music with rhythm-and-blues brass playing.
"There's an edge, a versatility, and a sense of the hustle it takes to survive here in their music," he said. "It's all so distinctly New York."

Volcanic Fume Vents, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
We were warned in advance about the multiple dangers of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and especially the Halema'uma'u Overlook. You can geuss them:
* Don't go to close to the rim, it's quite a drop whenever you fall;
* Be in good shape, beacuse the hike towards is not easy;
* Et cetera.
But we didn't hear of one other danger; if you are pregnant, have a breathing problem or have young children you're adviced not to go to this overlook. This is because of the acrid smelling fumes.
Volcanic fumes contain hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and glass particles making them very hazardous to your health.
Persons with breathing and heart difficulties, pregnant women, infants, and young children are especially at risk. All persons should avoid breathing these fumes.
These fume vents are located all over the park, but are especially associated with the pit craters at the summit, so be very careful around these areas.

Because I'm laid up at home, my DH met the farrier for his regularly scheduled appt. We have a somewhat unique problem and I know NOTHING about this and could use help.
Last Spring our 20 yr. Old OTTB developed Johnson Grass Poisoning and it paralyzed his bladder. It's stopped progressing and he isn't in pain, (the vet assures me he can't feel anything from his bladder) but he constantly dribbles, streams and drips urine. He cannot voluntarily pee, but when his bladder is full, it leaks out....which is almost all the time.
As you can imagine, it's a management problem keeping his lower legs urine free. We're constantly hosing him down, drying and coating with vaseline, desitin or anything else that will protect his skin. Meanwhile, our farrier told my DH that the urine is making his back hooves soft! What to do??? Usually we use hoof treatments to keep them from getting dry.
So what do you do to keep them from getting too soft?
Our vet has told us that it's just a matter of time. A sludge will build up in his bladder, he will begin to get bladder infections, and then we will put him down. For some reason, I never thought about the danger to his hind feet! He's a grand old guy and he's had a great life. I want him to be comfortable for as long as he can be kept comfortable. Any help would be appreciated. This is a new problem for me.
(There was Johnson grass in the hay our BO fed at the end of the winter.
Out of 23 horses, DB was the only one affected. )

COPELAND, TEXAS. Copeland is just south of Tyler in Smith County. The area was settled as early as 1899, when the community was granted a post office named Coplen with Robert E. Burns as postmaster. In May 1904 the post office moved to Flint. By 1973 the name was spelled Copeland, and the community had several dwellings, a cemetery, and the Copeland Macedonia Church. Copeland was still on maps in 1985 and was still listed as a community in 1990.

Adele shopped here: Vintage shop gets TV series

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Adele wants to make a vintage fashion statement, stylist Gaelle Paul has a go-to source: the cleverly named The Way We Wore shop.
Now TV viewers can peek inside Los Angeles store owner Doris Raymond's 19th- and 20th-century collection that's lured shoppers Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes and Angelina Jolie, as well as top designers searching for inspiration from the past.
"L.A. Frock Stars," a Smithsonian Channel series debuting 8 p.m. EST Thursday, is both a fashionista's delight and a chance to see passion at work with Raymond, who's made finding and selling great old duds a quest for more than 30 years.
"The show is about spreading the gospel of vintage," said Raymond — which translates, for example, to a 1940s jacket with tailoring and fabric that would cost $1,500 to replicate today but can be had for less than $200.
Rayond's tidy but chockful shop also has racks of impressive labels including Chanel, Versace, Halston and Gucci, and the stuff of fashion history like the first version of the Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress that launched the designer's career.

Those are found above-stairs at the shop, to be surveyed by VIPs and vintage mavens who also can ogle — or shell out for — such rare items as an intricately made 1920s dress priced at $6,000. The ground floor is the "democratic" section, as Raymond puts it, with less-pricey garments and accessories.
But even those are likely to be in the hundreds of dollars: Don't mistake The Way We Wore for something in Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' clever "Thrift Shop" tune, which celebrates Goodwill-style bargains ("Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-up shirt").
"It's not like going to a thrift shop. This is a high-end, fully curated vintage clothing store. It's really picky," said Raymond, who sees her stylish inventory as both art and a link to social history.
The far-from-ordinary garments are what draw stylist Paul and her client Adele, who came in recently on a scouting expedition.
The shop has "designers that I don't know where else I would find them," Paul said, such as James Galanos. "It's just great you can get those designers and their really strong pieces. It's not the average 1950s dress you find in vintage stores."

I use the latest Nero 6.6.*. I was wondering whether I was doing something wrong with my CD copying process.
I only have one CD drive, so I rip the CD using EAC to a CUE, then use Nero to burn that CUE. It seems fine, but am I messing things up? I heard that EAC using a nonstandard format, and was wondering whether Nero was doing something wrong subtlely. In my CD player I don't hear anything wrong. Can Nero accept EAC's cue sheets without messing up?
I can't use EAC's writer because for some reason it doesn't detect the drive.

The only issue with EAC cuesheets is if you rip to separate tracks and create a "non-compliant" cuesheet.
If you are ripping to image with cuesheet you should be fine.
Check the wiki for more info.
I don't understand why just the writer dialogue won't recognise your drive. Maybe you should try using ASPI if currently using SPTI, or the other way around. (Edit: EAC Options > Interface tab)
If it will recognise your drive but won't burn with it try switching to CDRDAO (if you have 0.95bX). (Edit: EAC Options > Write tab)

No subtilities. Nero will loudly protest and refuse to accept the 'illegal CUE sheet'.

I have had issues with EAC and some laptop CD drives with respect to burning. However, CDRDAO appears to address these handily, resulting in perfect burns with every drive I have.
I have Nero too, but wind up using EAC by itself a lot because it just works fine for audio, especially with CDRDAO.
Give it a try.

Roll film does not allow N-1 (unless the scenes are the same type). Thus, Ansel Adams does not come to the rescue here.
Try to forget shadows here: we all know that fill light lightens them. I am talking about the SUNLIT portions of the scene and to simplify, let's focus upon ONLY a grey scale fully lit by sun. Would exposures in either case be identical or different. I think different. - David Lyga

Isn't it nice to see Kentucky potentially be the vanguard of a national movement instead of its hind end?
Right now, Kansas is the only state in the U.S. (that I am aware of at least) that has established a system of registration for convicted dope dealers and manufacturers. Kentucky could join Kansas if BR273, sponsored by Middlesboro Rep. Rick Nelson, passes this year's General Assembly.
Just about the same time that a story in this paper told of jail construction being a month behind, another story in another paper told of our state's prisons being overcrowded.
If that trend holds, then we can't get our jail completed soon enough.
That will be good news (if it's still true when our jail opens) to everyone who has a hand in seeing that the County's new facility breaks even or, better yet, turns a profit.
I'm sure many of your readers watched our governor's State of the Commonwealth Address last week. At least, it is hoped they did, for we all need to keep abreast of the events that will affect each of us.
Personally, I was a bit disappointed for he didn't tell us much in the way of his intentions for the state. Not that I really expected him to; his intent was to generate enthusiasm in all of us and in the General Assembly for the up-coming legislative session.
There is a new issue in our country about children and others with dental care concerns. Revealed in this new concern is the fact that most parents do not have or cannot afford insurance or the out-of-pocket medical costs to simply seek dental care.
And what is the first answer they have for combating this? Ban sweets and sugary drinks from schools and such. This is an effect from the cause of poverty. You remember that slowly consuming poverty that corporate America is quite adamant in pushing on us poor working class people?
On behalf of everyone at Campbellsville High School, I would like to take a moment to express my apologies for the routine that our Step Team performed at half time of the recent Campbellsville-Taylor County boys' basketball game.
While the group put forth a great deal of effort in developing a routine to perform, they failed to consider the impression that part of their performance would have upon those in attendance.
Decades ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said to supporters of the civil rights movement in Washington, D.C., "... I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'
Campbellsville and Taylor County were once again well represented at this past weekend's Kentucky Junior Miss program.
Megan Romines made a Top 15 showing. Taylor County's junior misses always do well at the state program and this year was no exception.
Megan, you should be proud of your accomplishments. We are. We congratulate you on your success and wish for you only more in the future.
In January each year, the News-Journal's editorial staff sends out more than a dozen identical letters, each to a different governing body.
Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
Well, it might not be exciting, but it's a very important part of our job.
The letters are requests for notification of meetings, agendas and copies of information that our public officials discuss or review at their meetings.
In the past, some public officials have questioned whether they must provide information to the media.

Have just finished reading 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' - a beautifully written novel with an incredible plot and nail biting incidences. I could not put it down and am now on the look out for the next one. How sad that he is no longer with us as I would have loved to have told him how much I admire him personally. I hope his partner gets what is due to her - I send her my best wishes.

My husband and I listend to I and II on audible...loved every blazing second of both. Listened to some chapters twice, just because. He got ahead of me a few times, because he commutes and has 3 hours in the car a day. We just had international guests from Denmark, and we talked for two days about the books and the movies. Check out the trailers on youtube - in all different languages. It's a tiny fix, I realize, but it'll keep you hooked - me

Is it possible that Stieg Larsson did not really die of this massive heart attack naturally?

Hi guys, Hopefully someone can help me out. I purchased my receiver a few months ago on-line and it has been working great till the other day, when i had music on, close to its max output for sound.. left the room and came back a few minutes later and it was turned off. tried turning it back on and i would hear the "click" to sound like it turned on but no lights or indication it is actually turning on. I'm guessing it was the fuse or something that killed it but hoping someone can help me diagnose the problem and tell me if its worth it to look into getting it repaired. i realize it was stupid to play it so loud and leave ha, but i thought it could handle it. guess I'll no for next time. thanks guys, any input would help! Jordan,

Contributing Writer
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the birth rate of twins in the United States went up 76 percent from 1980 to 2009. That is approximately 45 to 50 sets of twins for every 1,000 live births. Given those odds, maybe it isn't quite so unusual to have a set of twins at each grade level at North Fayette Valley High School this year.
Be that as it may, most of us will still never completely understand what it is like to be a twin. We simply haven't had the experience of living our lives with a carbon copy (more or less) right alongside of us. The eight young men and women who attend NFV are currently experiencing this phenomenon and are learning there are some perks and pitfalls when it comes to being a twin.
Tanner and Trey Kuhens (ninthth grade), Cody and Dillon Baumler (10th grade), Brandon and Derrick Fenneman (11th grade), and Karissa and Kerrin Meitner (12th grade) make up the four sets of twins at NFV. When it comes to the positive aspects of being twins, they all have ideas of what those are.
"Always having someone around who is my age is nice," related Trey.
Tanner agreed, saying, "I like having him around if I need somebody to talk to."
The Meitner girls echoed those thoughts.
"I really never get bored or lonely with my sister around," said Karissa.
"Having a twin means there is always someone around to do things with and have fun together," added Kerrin.
Brandon and Derrick Fenneman especially remember the advantages of being a twin while growing up together and playing sports.
"It was helpful because we always had someone else who was the same age and about the same size to play whatever sport we were into at the time," noted Brandon.
"We were pretty competitive with one another and I think that helped us, too, as we were growing up," explained Derrick.
The Baumlers offered a couple of ideas on the subject.
"I think having another person around to help you remember things is good. If one of us forgets something for school or some activity, the other one sometimes remembers," said Dillon.
Cody indicated an economic advantage, saying with a big grin, "We each only have to pay for half a vehicle."
The challenges of being a twin might be considered somewhat predictable. Always getting compared, people calling them by the wrong name, never really being able to "separate" from the other one, and getting embarrassed by something that their twin might do were all mentioned as part of the downside of being a twin.
Perhaps Karissa summed it up well for all of them when she said, "Since they are always around and you see each other a lot, it can get a little annoying."
Meanwhile, the challenge for their family, friends, and teachers is always being able to tell them apart. The physical differences are pretty easily seen in three of the four sets. The Kuhens boys are the only ones who are identical twins and present a little bit of a problem with identification.
"Trey is bigger, a little taller and wider, than I am. That is what most people use to tell us apart," replied Tanner when asked how the two are different.
"As far as personality, I am more serious and quiet. Tanner is more easy-going and likes to laugh a lot," explained Trey.
With the two Fenneman boys, Derrick is the one with the freckles and Brandon is a little bit taller. There are other things that set them apart as well, however.
"We both like sports, but Brandon really likes the outdoor sports more than I do," said Derrick.
"I like to hunt and fish more than he does, but we both like the traditional sports like baseball, basketball, and football," agreed Brandon.
Cody and Dillon are usually easy to tell apart by looking at their hair color. Cody is more blonde, whereas Dillon has brown hair. They seem to disagree on their other differences, however.
"I'm smarter than he is," jokes Dillon.
"He thinks he's funny," counters Cody.
For Karissa and Kerrin, the differences seem to center around likes and dislikes. Kerrin really enjoys music and tends to be more reserved. Karissa likes sports and describes herself as a daredevil.
"I think what really sets me apart from her is singing, which I really like to do and she doesn't," said Kerrin.
Karissa agrees, adding that, "I am really into anything physical or athletic, and she doesn't like those things as much."
Then there is the question that everyone gets around to sooner or later, which is "Who's older?" Well, if you were wondering, here it is: Trey, Cody, Derrick, and Karissa are the older siblings. The importance of this factor may very well change as the twins get older. At some point the question could be "Who's younger?"
For now, though, these twins are enjoying life as high school students and looking forward to what the years may have yet to teach them about themselves and their unique bond. With any luck, they will be able to double their pleasure, double their fun, and continue to discover that two can be twice as nice as one.

Texas State could be one of the WAC's more fun teams to keep an eye on, at least for one year before bolting to the Sun Belt.
Head coach Dennis Franchione knows how to get a running game going, and his team's spread attack could be just quirky enough and just good enough to throw some of the better defenses a bit of a curveball. And considering the program is looking to walk in the new FBS world before it can run, anything it's able to do this season will be a big positive before truly hitting its stride going into next season.
With seven starters back on offense and nine returning on D, the potential is there to hang around with almost anyone in the league as long as the running game is rolling. But can Franchione ask for even more? Is there enough talent to be one of the sleepers in the title chase? No, especially after having problems with the SE Louisianas and Sam Houston States of the lower level and getting obliterated by Texas Tech and Wyoming by a combined score of 95 to 20. Even so, the spread can be the great equalizer, and Franchione has the players to run it.
The top five rushers from last year return from a group that averaged 195 rushing yards per game and was able to move for 256 yards against Texas Tech and hit the 200-yard mark seven times. There were some brick walls to get through at times, but with a more experienced team that knows what it's doing, the consistency might be there even though the competition and schedule are tougher.
The defense did a nice job for the most part, outside of a few breakdown games against the better passing teams, and with nine starters returning there will be a few times when the Bobcats will get into some slugfests. The linebackers should be solid and the defensive backfield is all back full with five starters returning.
No, there isn't nearly enough talent on both sides of the ball to get by Louisiana Tech and win the WAC, and getting to six wins might be a tall task, but the coaching should be top notch, the excitement is there with the big move, and the offense should do its part in the staging-area season for the program. before taking off to its permanent home.
What to watch for on offense:
How fast can the line come together? The spread attack the way TSU runs it is all about timing and being able to create just enough space so the runners can fly. The quarterback situation will eventually be fine with a rotation of Shaun Rutherford and Tyler Arndt, and the backfield is loaded with good backs and options. Now it will be up to the line come up with a surprising season after losing leader D.J. Hall and with new starters needing to come up big right away. The right side should be fine with Charlie Will Tuttle at guard after spending last season at center, and with Thaddeus Watkins returning at tackle, but left tackle is a concern with Adley Eshraghipour moving over from the defensive side. Matt Freeman is a young but promising center.
What to watch for on defense:
The 4-2-5 has to fine someone up front who can get into the backfield on a consistent basis. The Bobcats came up with seven sacks against Lamar and seven against Nicholls State, but managed 17 in the other ten games. The D will be ultra-aggressive and it has a few good returning pass rushers in linebacker Joplo Bartu and corner Darryl Morris, but Michael Ebbitt and his 11.5 sacks are gone and it might take a slew of players to pick up the slack. Ideally, the line does its job and gets behind the line, but the back seven has the experience to come up with big plays if needed.
The team will be far better if …
the turnover margin is on its side. The defense was able to come up with five takeaways against Central Arkansas and lost with a +4 turnover margin, so ball security isn't everything, but the offense ended up losing 17 fumbles and put it on the ground a whopping 33 times, but the seven picks weren't bad for a team that didn't take many chances with the passing game. The Bobcats went 1-3 last season when turning the ball over fewer than twice, and this season the wins won't come against the better schedule if the offense is giving it away several times a game.
The schedule:
The Bobcats were able to go 6-6 last year, but there aren't any more Tarleton States or Lamars to use as layups There is Stephen F. Austin, who TSU beat 35-26, but that's about it as far as winnable games other than the date with the other WAC newcomer, UTSA. However, the date with the Roadrunners is on the road. A home date with New Mexico State is one of the only other possible wins, and it's probably going to take a few major upsets on the road to think about a winning season with four road games in a five week span over the second half of the year.
Best offensive player:
Senior TE Chase Harper. The Bobcats aren't going to wing it around the yard, and they have receiver options, but Harper should be the go-to guy on key plays. The 6-5, 260-pound senior is a terrific athlete with NFL upside, and now he'll get the ball coming his way more often after catching 20 passes for 287 yards and three scores. Not just a receiver, he can block a little, too, with the ability to seal off the outside and lead to the big play.
Best defensive player:
Junior S Xavier Daniels. It's not necessarily a plus when the team's leading tackler is a safety, and while the thin 6-0, 165-pound Daniels doesn't look the part, he was able to hold up making 77 tackles with three picks and five broken up passes. Tough in the open field and with the speed and range to come up with big play after big play at free safety, he should be one of the leaders on a defense loaded with veterans.
Key player to a successful season:
Senior QB Shaun Rutherford and Junior QB Tyler Arndt. The Bobcats aren't necessarily going to alternate during each series, but they'll have two options to play around with depending on who's hot. Rutherford came up with a nice year running for 449 yards and three scores and completing 58% if his passes with 12 touchdowns and just four picks. Meanwhile, Arndt threw for 576 yards and three scores coming off a knee injury and should be able to do more when he gets his chances. TSU needs steady quarterback play throughout, but it mostly needs these two to be playmakers.
The season will be a success if …
the Bobcats win five games. Beating Stephen F. Austin is a must and coming up with a victory over fellow WAC new guy UTSA will be needed, but to get close to bowl eligibility it will take home wins over Idaho and New Mexico State to be in range. Forget about more than six wins, but this team could come close.
Key game:
Oct. 6 at New Mexico. The Lobos might be from the better and stronger Mountain West, but Bob Davie's team isn't exactly a powerhouse. TSU will get blasted by Nevada the week before and will likely be 1-3, at best, before going to Albuquerque, but with Idaho up next and a winnable road game at San Jose State to follow, coming up with a good non-conference win might start a run.

Edit history
changed: - Development Repositories and Build System While the core of Pd is basically written by Miller Puckette, who takes patches from the Pd community, most of the Pd developer activity is outside of the core in the form of abstractions, external objects, GUI enhancements, !APIs, etc. This is the key to what makes Pd so powerful: the wealth of code provided by the community built around a solid core. So in order to bring all of the this together and create all-inclusive packages, the Subversion Repository was created. All developers who write code for or with Pd are encouraged to contribute their code to the repository and maintain their code there so that anyone can create an up-to-the-minute Pd install by downloading the code from the repository and compiling it using the build system of their platform. In order to make sure your code gets distributed with the Pd installer packages, you need to add your files to the build system.

  abstractions

 Currently, you need to add your files to the **abstractions/Makefile** if you want it to be included in "Pd-extended":build

  documentation

 Any extra documentation goes in this directory. **doc/pddp** is the root of the "PDDP":/dev/pddp files. Any kind of tutorial, manual, etc. is at home here.

  extensions

 This section is for extensions to Pd itself, things like xgui or gripd which replace the GUI of Pd.

  externals

 The main externals build system is in externals/Makefile. You can copy and paste the *template* section in that file to create your own build system.

  packages

 If you would like to create an installer build system for another platform, then all of the files for that should go in a subdirectory of packages. Currently in that directory, there is darwin_app, linux_make and win32_inno. debian and planetccrma_rpm are in the works. The format of the subdirectory name is OSname_packagetype. Darwin was chosen for MacOS X since that the name of the underlying BSD/UNIX OS. For GNU/Linux, the distro name is used.

  scripts

 Any kind of script related to Pd goes in this section. There are some UNIX-style scripts like a SysV startup script, a bash completion script, etc., plus scripts that add in the building of "Pd-extended":/docs/developer/build

Fantastic Favre: Brett's nephew gets title, offer
Tom Bergeron
It's easy to make the comparison: Great arm. Leader. Winner. Workhorse.
But if you think Dylan Favre is exactly like his famous uncle, think again:
Dylan plays defense (and punts), too.
Check out the stats: 369 yards and three passing touchdowns to go along with 51 yards rushing, including scoring runs of 6 and 9 yards.
And don't forget the defense: 17 tackles and an interception at strong safety.
"This is so much better than any of the records or any of the awards," Dylan Favre told MagnoliaPreps.com, the RivalsHigh product in Mississippi. "To be able to win a state championship with this group of guys means everything."
Team first - sounds like his uncle, huh.
And he may actually follow in Brett's footsteps. One day before the game, Dylan finally got his first offer, from Southern Miss, where his uncle played.
"It feels good to see all the hard work paying off," he said. "It was really frustrating for a while to work that hard and not see anything for it."
In addition to his state titles, Dylan Favre has about all of the big quarterback records in Mississippi history, including
career total offense (14,175 yards), touchdowns responsible for (169) and touchdown passes (144). This season alone he has passed for 5,539 yards with three 500-yard games (and a fourth for 498), rushed for another 1,228 yards, and is responsible for 81 touchdowns, including 63 through the air.
And he's been putting up those kinds of numbers long enough to show up in the National Federation of State High School Associations record book as well.
He's second in average total yards per game in a single season (453.4), third in total yards in a single season (6,347 yards) and an average passing game away from second place. And he's fifth in total yards for a career (14,175).
His numbers have impressed his uncle, who talks to him (and texts him) regularly but never has been able to see him in person - what with him working weekends. Still, Brett is thrilled that Dylan is stepping out of his shadow.
"I think he has done a great job of making a name for himself," Brett Favre told the Associated Press. "I never did close to what he has done in high school. He's going to go down as one of the very best quarterbacks in Mississippi history, which is something to really be proud of."
As he does with his numbers, Dylan downplays his relationship with Brett.
"It's not a big deal," he said. "People make it out to be way bigger than it really is. He's just an ordinary uncle who goes to work every day. His job just happens to be playing football."
His coach, Forrest Williams, says the comparisons are inevitable. But that it's a good thing as they both have the qualities a coach wants.
"Brett set the ironman streak in professional football and Dylan's the same way," Williams said. "It don't matter what kind of lickin' he takes, he keeps on coming back. He threw a block the other night for one of his running backs to spring him for a 50-yard touchdown that I tell you would've knocked out a mortal man. But he was on the field a second, jumped up and was ready to go back in on defense the next series."
Williams thinks schools may have been overlooking Dylan because of his size; he's only 5-11, 195. But at just 17, Williams thinks Dylan may still have time left to grow.
And he may still have offers out there. Florida International and Mississippi State also have shown interest.
For now, Dylan will just bask in the first championship at St. Stanislaus - and see if his uncle can help the Vikings accomplish the same goal.

openSUSE Cuts Maintenance Cycle to 18 Months
Instead of 24 months and 3 versions, Novell will in future only supply 2 updates in 18 months for openSUSE.
A short mail from Michael Loeffler announced the cut from 24 to 18 months of maintenance. The mail on the openSUSE mailing list comes one day after Marcus Meissner announced that maintenance for openSUSE 10.3 will end in October.
The new model will cut the maintenance period to 2 versions and 2 months after the release of the following version (2+2), which with the planned release rhythm of 8 months means 18 months.
The move brings the openSUSE project closer to the Fedora maintenance procedure: Red Hat ends support for community distributions one month after release of the next but one Fedora version (2+1).
First reactions to the change were not long in coming: Boyd Lynn Gerber suggests building on an enterprise product based openSUSE version, even without a maintenance contract with Novell, to ensure five years of support, like, for example, Centos offers for the Red Hat enterprise version.

love this. AMAZING as a cheek highlighter. it's actualy all i use it for, sometimes also as a tearduct highlighter, and it works beautifully. Not too frosty, not glitery, creamy, so amazing for dry skin... i could go on and on. Defenitely recomend it :)
Age: 25-29
Skin: Dry, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Black
I am in awe after using this product. I can't believe I didn't know about this years ago! I was struggling with my over the top matte make-up. I have to use powder over my foundation because it doesn't stay all day long, but I look so flat, with no dimension at all. After watching a pixiwoo tutorial, I had to try it and now I'm converted. I can't go out without it and it applies so easily on my cheekbones. It gives this dewy look I was so looking for!
The thing I love the most is that it blends really well and is so versatile. Will totally buy it again!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Coarse

I find this a great highlighter. I use this with a liquid foundation, mostly on tops of cheekbones, nose and browbone. I felt it made a huge difference when I saw photographs of myself, gave my face a lot more glow and life than with previous highlighters. I would buy this again, though I do have a couple more highlighters I still want to try before saying this is definately the best.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
- Subtle pearly glow
- Nice creamy consistency
- Product lasts a long time
- Too expensive
- Creases when used on the eyes
- Not noticeable enough as a highlighter
Overall, I was very underwhelmed with this product. I expected more from MAC - it just didn't really do much at all.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure

I really like this cream color base. It's creamy and blends pretty easily. It gives me a nice dewy glow.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Green
A fabulous product.
Multi-usage: eye shadow base (needs priming though), highlighter for cheeks and under brow area, lips, body.
Goes on smoothly, easily blends.
Fragrance free.
Not too frosty.
Has tender yellowing/goldish undertones.
Low staying power as eye shadow base.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
Works nicely as a highlighter for the face. However applied to the eyes this creases like crazy with or without a primer. Only takes 5 mins for this product to crease. Not to expensive for a Mac product but i'm glad i got this with a 15% discount. Cream colour bases are meant to be multi use products and yet this particular colour is only good for the face. Also sometimes my product with be runny for no apparent reason other times this product with appear dry and hard to work with. A very strange product.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Medium
Eyes: Brown
I wanted to do a review on this product because it is one of my all-time favorite highlighters. I like that it is a cream product, it is perfect for spring/summer for a natural radiance look. It really melts into your skin, and doesn't look fake at all.
It is very white looking in the pan, but it gives a nice soft glow to the skin. It is very natural looking and sheer, which is what I want. It is very creamy and easy to blend with your fingers. I also use MAC 188 brush to apply it to my cheeks.
I am medium skin tone. My other favorite highlighters are Benefit 10 and Dior Amber Diamond. I would recommend those as well if you are looking for a powder highlighter.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have luna,pearl and shell.I use pearl as a highlighter and eye shadow on daytime at work,as it is more discreet.The only problem is that it seems it doesn't last long enough.I m not sure if i 'll buy this again or i'll keep looking for the perfect one for everyday use.(for the evening i love shell,it has more shimmer and the color is warmer)
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I love the color of this. It's a goldy white sheen - just the perfect highlighter color. The application is very easy - you can just use your hands and you'll be fine. I dab this onto my cheekbones, nosebridge and my cupid's bow. It's looks stunning like a glow from within, very healthy. My only problem is that I find it fades rather quickly so you definitly need to set it with something. And as I found better liquid/cream highlighters I woudn't buy this again. Eventhough I haven't found one with such a nice color.
FYI it'S horrible on the eyes - creases like mad.

I finally made a twitter account. Now how do I start getting tons of followers? I can't even figure out how to reply to a tweet.
Follow other people, talk to them, and hope that they follow you back. How to reply to a tweet: @username Message.
Thanks! I figured out the reply part earlier. :p Well, here goes nothing...
Check out my most recent blog post here: Twitter: Three tools you should be using on a few tools to help you get followers.
Hover over a tweet and click the reply icon.
You can get good scripts from web. If you are able to create a tool yourself that will be the best thing. Other wise you can depend available tools like humming bird and twitlink but they all are paid services.
Simple way is, follow others and they will follow you!
The tool I personally like, is InRev. You can easily: Follow, Flush & Reciprocate other Twitter users. For some accounts it's usefull to have thousands of followers, no matter who or what it is (For example my Adult Twitter Account).
Next what I do is:
Grow until you reach the daily limit. Next day do the same and the day after that too (3 days).
The fourth day, you flush all users that aren't following you back (flush = users you follow but aren't following back). And sometimes it's also cool to reciprocate although I'm not doing it that much lately..
If you are looking for just looking for fun then jeep adding as much as users you can . 40% of them automatically follow you .
But if you want it for business purpose than keep tweeting good knowledge links and information . It will take time but you can gain good targeted followers .

Here in town, Brazos Valley Catholics gathered to honor the pope with a community wide mass.
"He showed us how to live and die, and he was an amazing amazing man for all the world," said one parishoner.
"I was really moved by all the wonderful things the pope did for us," said another.
A black veil hangs over the church's door as the faithful flock to remember their pope on the eve of his burial.
With folded hands and bended knees, prayers were offered to God, as Catholics do at every mass.
But this time it is with heavy hearts.
"We feel the great sense of loss. One that we admired, one that we looked for the teachings of the church," says Rick Alderete of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bryan.
Although the pope's funeral is a world away, it is no less personal to Catholics here that mourn their great leader.
"He brought Rome to us," says Alderete.
Pope John Paul the second traveled to 120 countries during his papacy and made seven trips to the United States.
In 1987, he paid a visit to Texas Catholics in San Antonio.
He bared a message of peace.
But just as Jesus once asked for the little children to come unto him, so did John Paul.
Now children too small to understand are paying tribute to Pappa as he's known around the world.
And as his body is laid to rest, in the hearts and minds of Brazos Valley Catholics he will be remembered and loved forever.

Looking to connect with someone to laugh with, play with, and enjoy all that life has to offer. I'll be honest, I want to be attracted to someone and bring passion to life, both romantically and sexually. I love going to see music and getting outside on a bike or a hike or a run. I love to travel and learn about all the amazing sites and cultures in the world. I graduated from CalPoly and have been in Colorado for the last ten years and decided to come back to SF for a great job opportunity. I have some great friends in SF and I'm looking for someone to roll with me.

|Critical companions to popular contemporary writers.
|Susan Baker and Curtis S. Gibson.
This is the first full-length study to include Vidal's most recent novels and the first designed to meet the needs of the general reader as well as students of contemporary literature. It includes discussions of Lincoln, Empire, Hollywood, and Live from Golgotha, as well as his earlier novels. Baker and Gibson show that while Vidal's novels are tremendously entertaining, they are also serious examinations of a recurring theme - the decline of the West in general and the decline of the United States in particular. A biographical sketch precedes a general discussion of Vidal's early novels. The discussion of each novel includes sections on plot and character development, thematic issues, narrative style, and an alternative critical approach from which to read the novel. A complete bibliography of Vidal's fiction, as well as selected reviews and criticism, complete the book and will be helpful to students, librarians, and adult book discussion participants.

Driving up from Florida to New England in a couple of weeks. Basically, taking I 95 north and looking for some places to ride on the way up. Not, to concerned about places in the North east, just looking for stuff on the way up.

I really don't want any stuff that is to flat (i.e. Florida)
Any ideas would be helpful

#64 Dangerous TerritoryThe clear of mind will not challenge,More Like This
The will of the wolf pack.
Sharp eyes watch your every step,
Ears move to pick up each breath.
Outsiders are enemies,
And enemies are just another kill.
We move as one,
A deadly shadow.
Soundless and invisible.
We hunt without gaining attention.
But we aren't just mindless murder machines.
We are family.
We are safety.
We are hope.
But we are dangerous.
The alpha calls the shots,
The pack moves to obey.
Outsiders are not accepted.
You are part of the pack,
Or you are prey.
You want to be part of the pack.
To question the pack,
Puts anyone in dangerous territory.
#68 Bitter SilenceTrapped in the infinity,More Like This
Of a racing mind.
Voices sound off like sound clips,
Begging me to believe them.
And to believe in them.
But after years,
That pass at a turtles pace,
I've learned to block out
The screaming voices in my mind.
But some days I let them scream.
"It's not right, fix it"
"That's not straight..."
"It's NOT RIGHT DAMMIT!"
Then I block out the noise,
And hide behind pounding bass.
I loose my mind to the music,
And give my heart to the words.
But I know deep down my soul resides,
In peaceful Bitter Silence
WhyWhy do I feel,More Like This
Like they all want to be,
Just like me?
Why when my life,
Has been made a living Hell,
For knowing who I am.
Trust me.
It takes a thick skin to be me.
#65 BoundariesI live inside a space I shudder to let others occupy.More Like This
I shrink away from touches,
And people always wonder.
I live in a world with boundaries no one else sees.
A touch on my hand will make me sick to my stomach.
A hug might almost hurt.
A brush against my arm will put me into shudders.
And sometimes none of it matters.
But then someone gets to close.
Eyes linger to long,
A touch that wasn't needed,
A smile a bit to sweet.
People don't know my boundaries.
I live in a world with walls of steel,
With strings not to be touched,
Lest I run and hide.
I live in isolation,
For fear of contact.
I have been this way forever.
Bound to my boundaries.
And i don't know why.
The Boy's Response."I'm sorry I make you write poetry.More Like This
I wanted to tell you,
But I never could."
Yeah right.
It's attention.
And the poet is almost snared again,
By the boys who speaks novocaine words.
Sad sorry eyes,
And promises to be whatever I wish.
No will of his own,
But yet so willful.
And he worries me.
With his wanting,
And what i don't know.
But he known me,
Knows us.
And what's the harm,
When you just keep an icy mind?
The boy who breaths these words I think,
Will simply be my friend.
#74 Summer HazeMy world has turned to tan skin,More Like This
Glistening water.
Chemical smells,
And kisses stolen from the ever watching eyes of mothers.
"Let's fill the tank with gas,
Just drive till we run out of road Babe."
School is as far away,
As Saturn's rings,
And Orion.
Our sanity
Washed out of our heads with the pool water.
Our eagerness,
Fueled by the heat.
Making us bold and crazy.
There is no sense of time,
As the temperatures climb.
The higher the better.
Summer is our drug.
Unimaginable freedom.
Puppets of the party,
Addicts of Summer Haze.

Death and Texas : THE STATE'S JUSTICE SYSTEM CRUSHES POOR PEOPLE LIKE ERNESTINA RODRIGUEZ
Wypijewski, JoANN, The Nation
Bandera, Texas
Men in spurs still ride on horseback to the Eleventh Street Cowboy Bar here, hitch Smokey or Pancho to the post and, after enough beers, sing songs of their own making that are wry or a bit bawdy but, above all, stake the singer's claim to the "real" in a region too open to infection from potpourriana and the bric-a-brac of kowboy kulture. Bandera, "Cowboy Capital of the World," has only 975 people, but it's getting dicey to take a horse through town now that some 13,000 cars travel up Main Street every day.
Thirty-seven miles northwest of San Antonio, Bandera is in the heart of the Hill Country, where dude ranches outnumber the working variety and No Trespassing signs sprout like bluebonnets in the spring, demarcating the property of "Winter Texans" or city folk with money to invest in the rustic experience. It is the fourth-fastest-growing county in Texas, outpacing those that hold Dallas and Austin. Realtors' brochures tout premium property in an area that's "on the way to nowhere," and people mention that a nearby ranch of 300-some acres recently sold for $3.2 million, but the houses most easily in view in Bandera are modest affairs with scrappy yards that speak of too little money and too little time. Local men work for ranches or work construction or "work for each other," according to a real estate agent in town, "but how much are you going to make shoeing horses?" Women work mostly in the services. Father Stanislaw Oleksy of St. Stanislaus Church says the churches in the area have a well-coordinated relief system to pay a heating or electric bill or cover a prescription or distribute food if once in a while someone doesn't make payroll and families need something to help them hold on. "Of course you have a lot of roads where you never see these people. You never know they exist."
Off Highway 173 five miles to the north and not far from a ranch where the rich pay to shoot exotic creatures is one of those places you won't see unless you're looking. It's a colonia, unincorporated, unregulated territory not too different in appearance from the pictures of maquiladora communities that Ross Perot held up as an argument against NAFTA back in 1992. Three years ago a baby died to a Chicana/Mexican family living there in a one-room shack attached to animal pens of similar design, and before the grief-struck mother knew what was happening the state had transformed her personal tragedy into a case of capital murder.
Ernestina Rodriguez lived in that colonia off 173, in that shack measuring ten feet by fourteen feet, with her husband and four little children, without plumbing or running water, a place patched together out of wood and corrugated metal for which they paid $200 a month rent. On February 11, 1998, her two-and-a-half-month-old son, Ramiro, stopped breathing. Now at 28 she's serving a life sentence at the Hobby Unit in Marlin, Texas, for knowingly, intentionally killing him by starvation.
Last year's presidential campaign directed enough unwelcome light on the more outrageous features of the Texas criminal justice system that the state legislature spent a fair portion of its session this spring trying to make some face-saving adjustments, but this is not one of those cases that would cause a politician embarrassment. Nor is it the kind of case, like the one involving the Texas woman recently charged with drowning her five children, that whips up national comment. Except for the relatively rare allegation of starvation, it is crushing in its ordinariness. Like most prisoners in Texas, which ranks tenth in the country for poverty and third in the world for having a population in chains (after the United States and Russia), Rodriguez is poor. And as in most cases in which someone dies mysteriously and the people involved are poor, the first assumption was murder. At the Eleventh Street Cowboy Bar a perfectly nice rodeo rider said he'd been called for jury duty in the case but was excused after he admitted he was sure of the mother's guilt before hearing any evidence. …

DeGale's problem is that he just doesn't have that much power approaching the elite level. How many times has he had to go the distance already? A long, tough career is in store for him.Posted October 18, 2012 4:46 pm
i know you cant judge a fighter on one fight but going off that performance George groves would knock DeGale out. the best thing he could do at this point is get another fight in before xmas, leaving it 4-6 months till the next fight is will just add to his problemsPosted October 15, 2012 4:21 pm
I see a small version of Audley Harrison in the making, only without the personality.Posted October 15, 2012 1:46 pm
Neil (pomy)
A change of trainer could be a good move. Well said.Posted October 15, 2012 11:23 am
Neil, it was that bad – when i saw degale fight paul smith i saw a world champion in the making but on sat night he was dire and would get splattered aganist anyone half decent. As for fighting kelly pavlik – pavlik would beat him drunk. i have nothing aganist degale but he needs to leave jimmy macPosted October 15, 2012 9:57 am
Neil (pomy)
Was the performance really this bad? Hopefully DeGale can sort this out … the talent is obvious but maybe he needs some reavaluationPosted October 15, 2012 7:13 am
Chunky is junky.Posted October 14, 2012 4:07 pm
I think his problem was lack of fitness which can be excused he hadn't fought for ages, he looked good in spurts just didnt have the stamina to sustain the attacks, that French guy was French champion remember, he was honest and respectful of his opponent after the fight saying how fit he was and maybe that was an admission of his lack of fitness,he needs to fight more regular.Posted October 14, 2012 3:40 pm
DeGale ain't winning a world title!
End of argument!
Jim McDonnell is a two-bob trainer!
He should stick to fat women and weight-watchers!Posted October 14, 2012 3:21 pm
Who is this idiot writing this rubbish? Makes james slater look like a pullitzer prize winner…. What a load of tripe… Bottom feeder? In this case it would take one to know one..Posted October 14, 2012 12:43 pm
Note to author – Piotr Wilczewski also had a close, hard fight with Abraham (regardless of what the biased scorecards stated). Abraham won an alphabet strap at 168 in his next fight. Degale is much younger and less experienced than Arthur. With a few more fights James will almost definitely be able to match the likes of Abraham and other average alphabet holders like that. To beat the true champ in a division is extremely difficult, but not being able to do so does not make someone a "bottom feeder"!Posted October 14, 2012 10:12 am
Degale was poor – but his issues seemed more conditioning / mental to me. He seemed unwilling or unable to sustain an attack.Posted October 14, 2012 8:02 am
DeGale will really have to up his game,he handled that fight like a novice…..He spent far to much time on the back foot and running away….He is so far up himself he thinks he's a god…His trainer wasn't much good either,he seemed to frightened to criticize him…It was a lucky night…Posted October 14, 2012 6:38 am
AD's post is disturbingly accurate/Posted October 14, 2012 6:06 am
I don't think DeGale did too bad actually, he clocked up 12 rounds against a pretty tough customer. I didn't like the rope a dope stuff personally, but whatever floats your boat I suppose. Hennesay should get him on one of his Canadian cards, which should provide him with a bit more experiance & exposure. I'd also like to see him take on the winner of Anderson/Reid.Posted October 14, 2012 6:04 am
yeah it was a great hard fought victory I am warming to Degale he fought well under pressure last night.Posted October 14, 2012 4:17 am
How exactly was that a poor perfomance really? Some writers cant overcome their lack of biasness. I thought it was a great perfomance from both fighters.Posted October 14, 2012 12:04 am
The Ch5 commentators were grossly overselling De Gale's performance especially in the opening rounds, both commentators were gushing at Degale's punches and totally non plussed by Mohoumadi's, so much so that they predicted an easy night's work for De Gale.
Degale is average – just take a look at his face and his opponents face. Yeah he might have won a few more rounds against this unknown guy but against the elites Degale will get seriously knocked out – he simply takes too many punches…..Posted October 13, 2012 9:31 pm
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZPosted October 13, 2012 8:07 pm
And that's based on what?
DeGale's last outing?
One before that?
On what performance do you base that on?
Even Abraham would walk through DeGale!
He has NO POWER in his hands and that doesn't work at these weights!Posted October 13, 2012 7:56 pm
wow how the mighty have fallen will be interesting to see how Degale handles this win/ordinary performance he has the ability to be world class might be a case of his ego getting the better of himself ….Posted October 13, 2012 7:53 pm
That was by far the worst performance of DeGale's career – the time out of the ring fighting with Frank Warren hasn't done him any favours. I'm not a fan of DeGale coz he's a bighead however I think it's unfair to judge him based on just this fight.Posted October 13, 2012 7:46 pm
DeGale is a world class top ten fighter. Other than possibly the division's elite – Ward, Kessler and Froch, I reckon he'd have a great chance of beating anyone else in the world at 168. He may still be able to rise to that level. One more year and we should know for sure.Posted October 13, 2012 7:40 pm
Terrible performance by Degale – absolutely the worst I've ever seen him fight. The time out of the ring arguing with Frank Warren hasn't done him any favours at all – it's set him back a long way by the look of it. I'm not a Degale fan but he's a much better fighter than what he showed tonight and it's a bit unfair to judge him based on just this fight.Posted October 13, 2012 7:10 pm
one eye
Degale won ,suffered from ringrust.Mohoumadi ,unknown b4 this fight showed good qualities.Respect.Posted October 13, 2012 6:46 pm
The Geeza
yea those scores were a joke, but I guess degale did just enough to win but really didnt look fit enoughPosted October 13, 2012 6:46 pm
What the hell was with those cards? Ok so DeGale landed some hard shots here and there but in the later rounds he just laid back on the ropes and was getting hit constantly look at his face at the end that doesn't lie. I thought he got stumbled too by a right hand…Posted October 13, 2012 6:41 pm
He will never be a world champion. Good fight to watch all the same. The score cards were nonsense. He won by 2 odd rds to mePosted October 13, 2012 6:24 pm
Paddy O'Trenchant
Agreed.Posted October 13, 2012 6:23 pm

All the animals in Viskum's Monogram» series are placed on a painted board, with rhythmical and neatly executed strokes all of which are applied with a dead hand. Monogram VII, presents a Zebra, its graphic black and white stripes in stark dramatic contrast to the vibrating fingertip marks on the hand painting. Monogram VII is perhaps the most striking of Viskum's Monogram Series which will eventually consist of twelve works. They directly reference Rauschenberg's iconic sculpture «Monogram» (1959) - one of the most influential works of the 21st century. As with Rauschenbergs Monogram, Viskum is aiming at a radical juxtaposition of objects and media filtered through his alternative imagery.

1960s: Rosemary's Baby

She becomes pregnant, the neighbors care way too much, and let's just say, THINGS GET WEIRD. This is a total classic, not to be missed.

1970s: Dawn of the Dead
The year was 1978, and one of the best, most gory zombie movies ever, hit the box office. Dawn of the Dead takes place during the zombie apocalypse, and primarily in a shopping mall, making this a culturally relevant hit. Director George A. Romero is widely considered to be the zombie king, with his satirical horror edge being a fan favorite. This is a must-see if you are into zombies!
1980s: The Shining
The Shining is basically one of the most frightening movies ever. A young man, Jack Torrence (played by Nicholson, above) takes a position as the caretaker of a very old and very large hotel, The Overlook. Moving his wife Wendy and their young son Danny into the hotel proves fatal as twisted events unfold. Danny has psychic abilities and let's just say some things have happened over the years at the old Overlook Hotel.

One of the finest performances of Nicholson's career, this movie will scare you to bits.
1990s: The Silence of the Lambs
Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster team up for one of the weirdest and most troubling crime fighting duos ever, in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. Foster plays a young FBI agent who needs help from convicted killer, Hannibal Lecter, to catch serial killer Buffalo Bill, who is murdering women and skinning them alive. Enough said? Let us know if you have a hankering for fava beans after watching this! LOL
2000s: The Ring
In 2002 a movie came out that really stuck with some of us here at LuLu*s. What's the plot of this movie? WELL … it's called The Ring. And there's this VHS tape, right? Apparently if you watch it, it kills you within 7 days. WHAT?! Crazy, right? Trust us it doesn't end there. Naomi Watts plays a journalist who investigates this alleged rumor and gets WAY caught up in the story. This is a for sure edge-of-your-seat thriller that will never let you look at a well the same again.
2010s: The Cabin in the Woods
You know what sounds really fun? Planning a camping trip with ALL of your friends. And then choosing a cabin in the most remote of woods. And then crawling into the basement to find the dustiest, eeriest, most demon-possessed items on Earth. And then unleashing said demons unto the world and watching all hell break loose! NOT. It may seem like we spoiler-ed the crap out of you, but trust us, there are enough bone-chilling, gory happenings in this movie to last a lifetime. There's also a unicorn. No, we're NOT joking.
