Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loves fighting off rampaging arachnids with nothing more than a well placed verbal emphasis. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs. So join us each week as he takes a look at new DVD releases and gives his highly unqualified opinion as to which titles are worth BUYing, which are better off as RENTals, and which should be AVOIDed at all costs.
Click on any of the titles below to magically head over to Amazon.com and pick up the DVD. And don't forget to check out Neil Miller's hilariously titled This Week In Blu-ray column for reviews on the latest high definition Blu-ray releases!
Kingdom of the Spiders
Pitch: "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug!" Yeah, I know, but both 'spider' and 'tarantula' had too many syllables…
Why Buy? Shatner facing off against hundreds of tarantulas… what's not to love here people? Shout! Factory continues their trend of awesome DVD releases with some nice extras, but the biggest bonus here is getting the film in it's true widescreen ratio for the first time outside of its original theatrical run.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? Commentary, featurettes
Across the Hall
Pitch: Brittany Murphy finds her life in danger while spending the night in a hotel. And no, it doesn't involve ghosts…
Why Rent? In the world of Murphy's direct-to-dvd (yes I know this had a very limited theatrical release, but let's be serious) catalog you can do worse than this little thriller set exclusively in an old and odd hotel. Director Alex Merkin (ooh, poor guy) does a good job injecting the movie with style and a bit of mystery, but the pacing lags a bit too much at times and the mystery is revealed to be far from mysterious by the film's end. Still worth checking out for fans of Murphy.
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? None
Blood Creek
Pitch: Nazi zombies leave the mountains of Norway behind and head to backwoods America…
Why Rent? Remember Joel Schumacher? He may not have ever been a highly acclaimed director but he was definitely a profitable one. The Lost Boys, Flatliners, Falling Down, A Time To Kill… then he dipped his nipples into the Batman franchise and he's been sliding downhill ever since. This tight little horror flick got a token theatrical release before hitting DVD, and it's worth a watch. Two brothers try to defeat a Nazi with occult-like powers who just won't die, and while it's pretty standard fare in many ways the CGI scene during a horse attack is pretty cool.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? Commentary
Death in Love
Pitch: The first seven minutes of this movie are more honest and sexy than most other full movies…
Why Rent? Seriously, the opening monologue by Josh Lucas is brilliant, incisive, and cutting commentary, and it's immediately followed by the beautiful, talented, and fully naked Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity, V). The story about a forty year-old questioning his life and lifestyle is an impressive piece of work from the director of Remember the Titans and Uptown Girls. It's reminiscent (but not as consistent) of Mike Nichols' Closer in the way it dissects men, women, and the relationship between them. This may have been a Buy for me if it weren't for the ending.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? Commentary, featurettes
Defying Gravity: The Complete First Season
Pitch: An intriguing, interesting, fascinating, and well-acted show gets canceled. Surprise…
Why Rent? I'm not ashamed to admit I'd never heard of this show before seeing the DVD, but now I'm hooked and pissed that I won't be seeing a second season. It was apparently advertised as "Grey's Anatomy in outer space" which may explain why I blocked it from my mind, but it's actually a lot smarter and filled with more identifiable characters than that hospital melodrama. Ron Livingston leads a cast of faces both recognizable and unknown on a mysterious mission through space, and it trades the typical battles and alien invaders for serious questions and dramas about humanity, guilt, and wonder. If you feel like taking a chance then I'd even suggest buying it for two reasons… one, it's a great show. And two, it just may send a message that an audience exists for smart and entertaining television.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? None
The Invention of Lying
Pitch: White lies lead to bigger lies which lead to God. Who knew…
Why Rent? Even though it borrows a central conceit from James Morrow's superior novella ("City of Truth"), this light-weight comedy from Ricky Gervais still manages a few original laughs. Gervais plays a loser in a world where only the truth can be spoke until a forgotten synapse fires in his brain and he tells the first lie. And where does that lead? To religion of course! That's the movie's one purely brilliant stroke, but it fails to capitalize on the idea and instead becomes a more traditional romantic comedy.
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? Deleted scenes, outtakes, featurettes
The Keeper
Pitch: "Nikki's out there in all kinds of jeopardy right now, and you in here fuckin around with some stanky hoe…"
Why Rent? I won't pretend this straight-to-dvd Steven Seagal flick is anything truly special, but unlike a lot of the guy's output over the past decade this one's actually somewhat entertaining. The story which crosses The Bodyguard with Man on Fire is standard fare, but a recently slimmed-down (relatively speaking) Seagal is back to being a believable fighter again after years of his wandering portly Indian shtick. Solid fisticuffs, bloody gunplay, and a ginormous pair of fake Mexican hooters complete the package.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? None
Pitch: Hypocrisy in government? Is this a documentary or a fantasy film…
Why Rent? But seriously, no one should be surprised by the revelations and accusations in Kirby Dick's latest doc. The same guy who showed us the dirty secrets behind the MPAA this time points his investigative lens at closeted Republicans who work to suppress gay rights. Snarky, revealing, and ultimately depressing, this is both entertaining and educational filmmaking.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? Commentary, deleted scenes, featurette
Pitch: In space, no one can hear you scream while cannibalistic creatures tear your flesh apart…
Why Rent? Two astronauts (Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid) awake on a spaceship after a night of partying with no memory of where they are or how they got there. (Space ruffies!) The first half of the movie works really well with its combination of mystery and claustrophobia, but the second part devolves into a standard monster chase. Still a fun movie though, so check it out!
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? Commentary, deleted scenes, featurettes
Smokin' Aces 2: Assassins Ball
Pitch: It's the even more ridiculous sequel to an already ridiculous original…
Why Rent? The first movie is no classic, but it managed to be a bit of crazy, over the top fun. This straight-to-dvd sequel finds the star wattage turned way down low but tries to keep the manic nature of its predecessor. It's far less entertaining, and to be honest is a borderline Avoid for me thanks to some intentionally cheap green-screen work and digital effects… but the very last seconds before the screen crawl makes it all worthwhile.
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? Commentary, deleted scenes, gag reel, featurettes
Spirits of the Fall
Pitch: This is the power of marketing done right…
Why Rent? I haven't seen this movie. I haven't even seen a trailer. So why am I recommending it as a rental? Because the cover art is awesomely creepy. Period. Hopefully the movie is even have as good.
Blu-ray? No
Extra Features? Commentary, featurettes
Pitch: It's The Running Man without brains. And yes, I know what I just said there…
Why Avoid? I'm not a fan of anything Neveldine and Taylor have done yet (aside from Pathology which they only wrote), but if you are then odds are you'll also enjoy this stinker. Love it or hate it, the hand-held camera style of Saving Private Ryan and the Bourne movies can be done right and it can be done wrong. This is how you do it wrong. No spatial awareness, no focus, no sense of what the hell you're seeing… add to that a terribly conceived script, the grunting slur of Gerard Butler, and the over-acting of (the normally great) Michael C Hall, and you have a DVD I wouldn't even rest my beverage upon.
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? Commentary, featurettes
Pitch: Kate Beckinsale takes a shower in the first few minutes. Something else probably happens after that…
Why Avoid? I wanted to like this one because everyone else seemed so set against it… but it's as bad as they all said. A silly and convoluted mystery sits at the heart of this turd, but my biggest issue has to do with Beckinsale's US Marshall. She's the least effective law enforcement officer since Sheriff Rosco Coltrane. Can't use her gun worth a damn. Doesn't know how to enter or search a suspicious area. Can barely defend herself against any threat. Is a terrible judge of character. Just watch the PG-rated shower scene on a loop for ninety minutes and it'll be a lot more entertaining.
Blu-ray? Yes
Extra Features? Deleted scenes

Carnahan: More protections needed for Missouri seniors
Thursday, December 30, 2010
Many Missouri investment firms lack specific plans for dealing with the unique needs of seniors who entrust them with their life savings, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan said in a report released Wednesday.
The report is the result of a six-month audit conducted by the secretary of state's Securities Division of the policies and procedures of 24 brokerage businesses and six investment adviser firms. Carnahan said she launched the review because of a growing number of complaints, an increase in reports of financial fraud involving seniors and the general aging of the state's population.
"Every year, hundreds of seniors call my office with questions and complaints about the investment advice they receive," Carnahan said in a written statement. "Missouri seniors should be able to invest their life savings confidently and without fear they will be taken advantage of by their adviser or broker."
The report does not name any of the businesses that were reviewed.
It recommends that firms identify certain investments, such as variable annuities, to trigger a heightened review when sold to a senior and that agents be prohibited from targeting seniors with advertising. It also says firms should adopt practical definitions of an "elderly" person and ensure their account information is regularly reviewed and updated in person.
Carnahan said many firms did not have policies requiring employees to follow certain procedures when dealing with seniors.
"There is an alarming lack of formal, written policies or documented guidelines or practices in this area," Carnahan's report said. "Instead, investment advisers appear to rely on personal familiarity with their clients" and believe they don't need standardized procedures because of their relatively small client lists.
The report said about one-third of the firms examined had specific policies regarding advertising that targets seniors, and a similar amount had procedures for detecting elder abuse or financial exploitation by agents.

Houston Airports is concerned about the budget issues in Washington, which would certainly impact aviation nationwide. Anything that would interrupt air travel, especially international travel would be troubling. Anything that impacts FAA, TSA or CBP staffing could have a negative effect on our wait times, and if prolonged will have a negative impact on the local economy.

On Sequestration and the Federal Aviation Administration Sequestration will have a serious impact on the transportation services that are critical to the traveling public and the nation's economy. At DOT we will need to cut nearly a billion dollars, which will affect dozens of our programs.
Over $600 million of those cuts will need to come from the Federal Aviation Administration – the agency that controls and manages our nation's skies. As a result of these cuts, the vast majority of the FAA's nearly 47,000 employees will be furloughed for approximately one day per pay period until the end of the fiscal year. In some cases it could be as many as two furlough days per pay period.

Spring 2012
March 22, 2012
Up and down the east coast we are experiencing an unusually warm Spring. After watching Frozen Planet this weekend I know I should be concerned about global warming and the melting of the polar ice caps, especially after dying over those adorable baby polar bears, but I cannot help but be happy to toss aside my boots and strap on some sandals. Sorry baby polar bears.

Today was my first criterium race ever... and I definitly learned quite a lot during the race...
It was held in Domingious hills (sorry can not spell), a california bicycle racing race but USCF honored and counted. The field was 54, quite large for a cat 5 race. There was some strong team support at the race also, I counted a few teams with 3 or 4 racing. They had a short little 10 minute clinic at the beginning, do not cross wheels, turning, holding your line, blah blah...
My goal for the race was to finish, it was my first race and I had no expectations on placing even in the top 20. I was simpily there to gain experience and I did. We started off and the first 3 laps were quick. I remember looking down at my speedometer and seeing 28 MPH a few times and I was not working all that hard on the outer right on the pack behind two people. My mistake was starting, I started on the inside where almost no one was. Once we got going I found it very hard to try and move my way into the center on the pack.
For 8 laps I moved around it the pack, pushed through a gap , moved into the outside on the downhill, etc until I was in about 20th place. My first mistake was ending up last in the line on the inside. The course was not flat at all, it had a climbing start, and climbed it seemed most of the way. I am not a climber and at 28 MPH I would lose a little ground on the hills and have to push to get back on the wheel. The second mistake I made was the fatal one.
With 16 minutes in (7 laps) I got really tired of getting pushed into the curb on the corners. On the downhill I pushed to the outside of the pack on the right, passed 5 riders but could not get back in. I was bucking the wind and my legs can not do 28 MPH in the front. I started loosing ground, got on the back on the pack and on the next hill 6 riders and myself were off the back. It happened so quick I could not believe it.
After getting dropped I tryed as hard as I could to catch the group to no avail. I speed up to 25 MPH and naturally the 6 behind me jumped on my wheel. I do not know what got into me but I was pushing so hard I actually forgot that my legs were hurting for a second. I looked down and saw my HR at 182 BPM, the top of the anaerobic zone (my LT zone is 166 BPM) I chased the pack at 25 MPH for 12 minutes but they slipped away until I could not see them anymore. The cards came out and we were about 3/4's of a lap back. Right when the pack came in for the sprint we had just crossed the finish line, 1 lap behind.
I can remember the announcer saying... the pack is right there you can catch them. As soon as I heard that I pushed as hard as I could. At the end of 30 minutes my legs were tired but I felt like I hard more in me. I averaged 23.6 MPH at 12.6 mile at 31.42 minutes.
I took 45 out of 54 riders, not the best result but for my first time I was very happy. I absolutly love the adrenaline rush that comes in a pack at 28 MPH. I learned alot and got quite a few questions answered too. Physically I have a way to go but I will be there soon... just need more races under my belt... I still can not believe after 7 months I am at this point.
On a side note I did meet a member of this forum racing with team Monix (I believe that is how you spell it) along with some others here. Glad to meet all of you.
I can not wait until the next one... until then... more hill climbing here I come!

College of Medicine | Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science
Search For A Disorder
Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome, Type 1
Clinical Characteristics
Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome consists of a heterogeneous group of disorders with overlapping features. Type 1 is described here. Common to all three types are the presence of ocular, dental, facial, skeletal abnormalities and autosomal dominant inheritance. Anterior chamber dysgenesis of some form is universally present and severe glaucoma occurs in 50% of patients. This may have its onset in childhood with typical symptoms of congenital glaucoma such as photophobia, excessive tearing and corneal clouding. Hypoplasia of the iris is common and when progressive may result in an ectopic pupil and/or pseudopolycoria. Iris insertion and Schwalbe's line are often anteriorly displaced with iridocorneal adhesions, a pattern that leads to the inclusion of this disorder among those with iridogoniodysgenesis or anterior chamber dysgenesis. Pupillary ectropion of the posterior pigmented layer of the iris may be seen.
There is considerable clinical overlap among conditions with iris dysgenesis. Some patients with typical systemic features of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome may even have typical anterior chamber features of Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly in one eye and severe iris hypoplasia resembling aniridia in the other.
Dental anomalies and mid-facial hypoplasia secondary to underdeveloped maxillary sinuses are among the most common systemic features in type 1. The nasal root often appears abnormally broad and the lower lip appears to protrude. The teeth are frequently small and conical in shape with wide spaces between them (diastema). Some teeth may be missing. The umbilicus may fail to involute normally and retains excessive, redundant skin that sometimes leads to the erroneous diagnosis of an umbilical hernia for which unnecessary surgery may be performed. Hypospadius is frequently present while cardiac defects, sensorineural deafness, and anal stenosis are less common.
There is clinical and genetic heterogeneity in this syndrome and precise classification of many families remains elusive without knowing the genotype. Mutations in at least four genes are responsible and all are are responsible for phenotypes transmitted in autosomal dominant patterns. Type 1 discussed here is caused by a mutation in the homeobox transcription factor gene, PITX2, located at 4q25-q26. A type of iris hypoplasia (IH)/iridogoniodysgenesis (IGDS) (IRID2; 137600) disorder has been classified separately but is caused by a mutation in PITX2 as well and many cases have the same systemic features. Mutations in the same gene have also been found in ring dermoid of the cornea (180550) and in some cases of Peters anomaly (604229).
RIEG2 (601499) is rare but a deletion of 13q14 has been reported in several cases. Mapping in a large family with 11 affected individuals yielded a locus in the same region. Clinical signs overlap types 1 and 3 with dental, craniofacial, and ocular features, but with hearing impairment and rare umbilical anomalies.
Mutations in the FOXC1 gene (6p25) may be responsible for RIEG3 (602482). However, a family has been reported with a severe 'Axenfeld-Rieger phenotype' in which a digenic etiology may have been responsible: patients had mutations in both FOXC1 and PITX2.
Heterozygous mutations in the PRDM5 gene (4q25-q26) have been identified in 4 members of a Pakistani family with typical features of the Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome. It is labeled type 4 Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome in this database.
Treatment Options
The presence of glaucoma requires prompt and vigorous treatment but control is difficult with blindness too often the result. Oral surgery may be beneficial for dental problems. Low vision aids can be useful.

Excerpts for
Reformed Vampire Support Group
Chapter One
Nina was stuck. She didn't know what to write next.
So far, her teenage love interest had been dragged into a refrigerated meat locker by two thugs armed with a gun and a boning knife. But Zadia Bloodstone was already waiting for them. Hanging upside-down from a meat hook, wrapped in a long black cape and covered by a thin layer of frost, Zadia had cleverly disguised herself as a harmless side of beef. Only when she'd spread her arms wide had the crackle of breaking ice announced her presence.
Bang-bang! Two bullets had promptly smashed into her rib cage. But Zadia wasn't troubled by bullets, because her vital organs could regenerate themselves at lightning speed. Somersaulting to the floor, she'd walked straight up to the bigger thug and kicked the gun from his hand. Then she'd whirled around to fight off his friend. Within seconds, the two baddies had been knocked out--leaving a very important question unanswered.
What would the rescued boy do?
Obviously, he would be grateful. He might even be dazzled by Zadia's flawless face and perfect figure. But if he saw her sink her fangs into anyone's neck, he would also be frightened. He would realize instantly that she was a vampire and run for the door.
He would be unaware, at this point, that Zadia was a heroic crime-fighting vampire who preyed only on lowlife scum.
Nina chewed away at a lock of her hair, thinking hard. She was in the middle of chapter eight. The room in which she sat was illumined solely by the glow of her computer screen; barely visible in the dimness were her brass bedstead, her Indian cushions, and her lava lamp. A poster of David Bowie hung on the wall, curling at the corners. A small bookshelf contained multiple copies of Youngblood (book two of the Bloodstone Chronicles), by someone called N. E. Harris.
Splashed across the cover of Youngblood was a glamorous, slinky young girl with white skin, black hair, and ruby-red lips. She wore high-heeled boots and lots of black leather, as well as an ammunition belt. Her canine teeth were long and pointed, but she was stunningly beautiful nonetheless.
She appeared to be leaping from rooftop to rooftop, her black cape streaming out behind her.
"Nina!" somebody shouted from beyond the closed bedroom door. Nina didn't respond. She stared unblinkingly at the computer screen, still gnawing at her hair--which was thick and dark, and cut in a heavy, clumsy, old-fashioned style that didn't suit her bony little face.
It was about time, she decided, that Zadia made friends with the boy she'd rescued.
Zadia hesitated, Nina wrote, torn between her desire to punish the wicked and her need to reassure the tall, pale, handsome teenager with the big brown eyes.
"Nina!" a distant voice called again. Ignoring it, Nina deleted the word pale. Her hands on the keyboard were like chickens' feet, all scaly and dry. Her skin was the color of a maggot's, and her legs were so thin that her tights were wrinkled around the knees.
Her boots had flat heels on them.
"Nina!" The door burst open to admit a withered old woman in a quilted nylon dressing gown. "For God's sake, are you deaf ? Father Ramon's outside--you want to keep him waiting?"
Nina sighed. She shut her laptop, moving sluggishly.
"All right," she murmured. "I'm on my way."
"Aren't you feeling well?" the old woman wanted to know. She had the hoarse rasp and yellowed fingertips of a chronic smoker, her hair looked like a frayed clump of steel wool, and her scarlet lipstick was bleeding into the cracks around her mouth. "Because if you're sick," she said, "you shouldn't be going."
"I'm not sick, Mum. I'm fine."
"That's what you always say, and you never are. Is your head giving you trouble?"
"What about your stomach?"
Nina didn't reply. Instead she rose, reaching for her sunglasses--which shared the cluttered surface of her desk with a Pet Rock, a pile of vintage vampire comics, and a volleyball trophy awarded to the "Junior Regional Interschool Champions" of 1971. Pinned on a notice board hanging above the desk lamp were various faded photographs of laughing teenage girls.
If any of these girls was Nina, it wasn't immediately apparent. They were so sleek and glossy and bright-eyed that they could have belonged to an entirely different species.
"Are you nauseous?" her mother nagged. "You are, aren't you?"
"There's nothing wrong," said Nina on her way out of the room. It was a lie of course. There was always something wrong.
And her mother knew it.
"If you get sick, I want you to come straight home," the old woman advised as they descended a narrow wooden staircase together. "Dave won't mind bringing you back early, if you can't stay to the end. And don't leave it till the last minute, the way you did before. Dave won't want you throwing up all over his sheepskin seat covers again . . ."
Nina winced. It was true. She had ruined Dave's precious seat covers. Was it any wonder that he didn't exactly beat a path to her door? Was it any wonder that she spent so much of her time in imaginary meat lockers with the stylish and vigorous Zadia Bloodstone? At least there were no uncontrollable bouts of vomiting in Zadia's world.
Nina pulled open the heavy front door of her mother's row house. Outside, the darkness was relieved only by the soft glow of a nearby street lamp; stars were scattered like sequins across a coal-black sky. Yet Nina had already donned her sunglasses, which were big, heavy, wraparound things that made her pinched face look smaller than ever . . .
You know what? This isn't going to work. I can't write about myself the way I write about Zadia. It's too weird. It's confusing. Next thing I'll get mixed up and start making me do things that I can't actually do. Like turn into a bat, for instance. Zadia can do that, but I can't. No one can.
The plain fact is, I can't do anything much. That's part of the problem. Vampires are meant to be so glamorous and powerful, but I'm here to inform you that being a vampire is nothing like that. Not one bit. On the contrary, it's like being stuck indoors with the flu watching daytime television, forever and ever.
If being a vampire were easy, there wouldn't have to be a Reformed Vampire Support Group.
As a matter of fact, I was going to a group meeting that very night. Father Ramon had come to pick me up. It was a Tuesday, because all our meetings are held on Tuesdays, at nine thirty p.m., in St. Agatha's church hall. And in case you're wondering why I couldn't have driven myself to St. Agatha's . . . well, that's just one of my many problems. I still look fifteen, you see. I still am fifteen, when all's said and done, since I stopped aging back in 1973, when I was infected. So I'd attract far too much attention behind a steering wheel. (Besides which, Mum doesn't have a car.)
As for the public transport option, Sanford Plackett has ruled that out. He's always ruling things out; you'd think he was our lord and master, the way he carries on. He's forbidden any of us to travel around Sydney on buses or trains, for instance, in case we stumble across something that Father Ramon would probably describe as "an occasion of sin." I suppose Sanford's worried that we might encounter a bleeding junkie rolling around on a station platform, and won't be able to stop ourselves from pouncing.
"You think you'll never succumb," he once said to me, "because you can't come to terms with your true nature. You refuse to concede that you're really a vampire, with a vampire's weakness. But you are, Nina. We all are. That's why we have to be careful."
And being careful means not catching cabs. According to Sanford staring at the back of a cab driver's exposed neck would be quite stressful for most of us--especially if someone's been bleeding onto the seats beforehand. Sanford also insists that no one in our group should go wandering the streets all alone. He says that we wouldn't stand a chance against the drunks and addicts and muggers on the loose out there. He says that everyone should follow his advice, because he's been around for so long and has so much experience, and because, although Father Ramon might be our group facilitator, even a priest with counseling experience can't be its leader. Not if he isn't a vampire himself.
That's Sanford's opinion, anyway. He's got a lot of opinions, let me tell you. And he's never shy about airing them, whether asked to or not.
He was already in the car when I reached it, because he can't drive either. People who grew up before the First World War rarely can. Back then, even doctors like Sanford didn't own cars--and he certainly couldn't risk learning to drive now. None of us could. We'd be exposing ourselves to the kind of official scrutiny that you need to avoid at all costs when you're toting fake IDs.
Most of the vampires I know have changed their identities at least once, and Sanford has done it twice, owing to the fact that he doesn't look his age (believe it or not). Despite his bald
ing scalp and clipped mustache--despite his preference for three-piece suits and fob watches--you'd never guess that he was a hundred and forty years old. The very fact that he's not six feet underground is a dead giveaway. And he's no different from the rest of our group, which is full of people living precarious lives, under assumed names, with forged papers.
It's a real drag, believe me.
"Hello, Nina," he said as I slid into the back seat of the waiting Nissan Pulsar.
"Hello, Sanford."
"How are you, Nina?" Father Ramon inquired, pulling out from the curb.
"Oh--you know. Nauseous. As usual."
I didn't want to complain too much, because that's what vampires do. They complain too much. But I needn't have worried. Gladys did the complaining for me.
"I bet you're not as nauseous as I was last night," she said, moving over to give me some space. "I was trying to sell a time-share, and I spewed all over the phone. At least a cupful of blood. It no sooner went down than it came back up again. I lost the sale and everything--didn't I, Bridget?"
"Oh, yes," said Bridget, who was knitting. Bridget's always knitting. She was eighty-two when she was infected, so she can't do much else. Even climbing stairs can be a problem for Bridget because of her hip joints.
There's only one thing worse than being a vampire, and that's being an elderly vampire with bad hips.
"Have you been taking your enzymes, Gladys?" asked Sanford, from the front seat. He craned around to peer at her. "Every morning, before you go to bed?"
"Of course I have!"
"What about other treatments? Have you been drinking those herbal concoctions again?"
"No!" Gladys exclaimed, sounding defensive, though it was a perfectly reasonable question. Gladys smells like a hippie, because she's always treating her manifold health problems with miraculous new oils or exercises or meditation techniques. She even looks like a hippie, in her beads and her shawls and her long, flowing skirts. Having been infected back in 1908, she can't bear to expose her legs; ladies didn't do that sort of thing in the old days, and Gladys likes to think of herself as a lady--even though she was actually a common streetwalker. She also likes to think of herself as a young lady, despite her old-lady obsession with bowels and feet and joint pain, because she was only twenty-four when she first got infected. But I'm here to tell you, she's about as young as a fossilized dinosaur egg.
"I haven't even been burning scented candles," she whined, "and I'm still getting that rash I told you about. The one on my stomach."
"It might be a bad response to the supplements," Sanford mused. "I could adjust your levels a bit, I suppose. Have you had any dizzy spells?"
"Yes! This morning!"
"What about headaches?"
"Not since last week. But the other night one of my toenails fell off in the bath--"
At this point I could restrain myself no longer.
"Hey! Here's an idea!" I growled, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "Let's all talk about our allergies for a change! That'll be fun."
There was a long pause. Father Ramon glanced into the rearview mirror, shooting me one of those reproachful-yet sympathetic looks in which he seems to specialize. Sanford sniffed. Gladys scowled.
"Well, what do you want to talk about, then?" she demanded. "What have you been doing lately that's so wonderful? Watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?"
"I've been writing my book," I said, knowing perfectly well what sort of reaction I'd get. And when Sanford removed his sunglasses briefly, to massage the bridge of his nose, I braced myself for the usual guff about how I was putting everyone at risk (even though I write under a pseudonym and use a post office box for all my correspondence).
"Yeah, yeah, I know what you think of my books," I added, before Sanford could butt in. "Spare me the sermon--I've heard it all before."
"They're not doing us any good, Nina," he replied. "People are scared enough already; you're only making things worse."
"Zadia's not scary, Sanford. She gets fan mail. She's a heroine."
"She's a symbol of your flight from reality." This was one of Sanford's stock remarks. For at least twenty-five years he'd been telling me that I was stuck in the denial phase of the Kübler-Ross grief cycle (rather than the anger, bargaining, depression or acceptance phases), because I had refused to embrace my true identity as a vampire. "You feel compelled to invest vampires with a battery of superhuman powers," he said, making reference to Zadia Bloodstone, "just so you can tell yourself that you're not really a vampire. You're living in a dream world, Nina."
"No--you're living in a dream world." I was trying to be patient. "You talk to me like I'm still a kid, even though I'm fifty-one years old. Do you know how boring that can get?"
He did, of course. Everyone did, because I'd mentioned it often enough. It had been a good thirty years since our group's first meeting, so we knew each other pretty well by this time. We'd also covered every subject known to man over and over and over again. It's something that tends to happen when you don't mix very much with other people.
Sometimes I look around St. Agatha's vestry on a Tuesday night, and I think to myself, If I never see any of you ever again, I'll be a happy vampire.
"You might have lived for fifty-one years," Sanford chided, without even bothering to glance in my direction, "but you're still a kid at heart. You're stuck in a teenage time warp. You still think like a teen. You still behave like a teen."
"What--you mean like this?" I said, and flipped him the finger. Gladys giggled. Father Ramon changed gears abruptly, though his voice remained calm.
"Come on, now," he protested. "That's enough. If you want to argue . . . well, you should at least wait until the meeting."
Sanford's cell phone began to trill. While he fumbled inside his jacket, I turned my face to the window. Street lamps were gliding past, illuminating the kind of neighborhood that I've always enjoyed looking at. House fronts were shoved up hard against the pavement. Through the gaps between shrunken curtains and broken cedar slats I could see flickering television screens, curling drifts of cigarette smoke, and people rushing from room to room, slamming doors.
But I couldn't see enough. I never can. I always get a fleeting glimpse of normal life before it's whisked away--before I'm back in a crowded car with a bunch of vampires.
"Oh. Hello, Dave." Sanford had found his phone, at long last. "Yes. Yes. Dear me. That is troubling. Yes, I'll tell him." Addressing the priest, Sanford delivered Dave's news with solemn emphasis. "Dave says that Casimir won't answer his intercom," Sanford announced. "They've been trying for about ten minutes. Dave wants to know if you still have a spare key."
"Yes, I do," said Father Ramon. He sounded worried. "Tell him I'll swing round."
"Did you hear that?" Sanford addressed his cell phone again. "He said we'll swing round. Yes. Well, I hope so. All right. Yes, see you soon."
He hung up.
I don't think anyone quite knew what to say, initially. Sanford appeared to be thinking. Father Ramon was obviously reassessing his planned route; he suddenly pulled into someone's driveway and executed a rather clumsy three-point turn. Bridget was looking puzzled.
I couldn't even pretend to be anxious. In fact, I was downright disgusted. "Ten to one Casimir's out on the prowl," I said at last, airing a very natural suspicion. "I bet he's got his fangs into somebody as we speak."
Boom! Instant uproar. If I had set fire to Gladys, I might have triggered a less impassioned response.
"Nina!" Father Ramon seemed genuinely horrified. "That's a dreadful thing to say!"
"You shouldn't talk about people like that," Bridget pro
tested. I couldn't see her eyes behind the dark glasses that she wore, but her face was even whiter than usual. It was almost as white as her hair.
Sanford twisted around to admonish me.
"Casimir Kucynski hasn't set a foot wrong since being released," he pointed out, in frigid accents. "That was five years ago. Casimir's reformed now."
"Reformed?" I folded my arms. "He sleeps in a coffin, Sanford!"
"He's doing his best, Nina. Casimir is a victim too--just like the rest of us." Sanford's tone became pompous. "You know you're not the only one who was infected by Casimir. If the others have forgiven him, why can't you?"
"Because he's a creep," I replied, without fear of contradiction. Casimir Kucynski was a creep. Even Sanford couldn't deny it. Though Casimir might have called himself a reformed vampire, he was anything but. He would go on and on about "the good old days," when you could buy your very own slaves and kill them with impunity. He would do the most awful things with his tongue, which was long and blue, like one of those poisonous jellyfish. He had eyes like oysters, and teeth like tombstones.
If you want my honest opinion, Casimir had been a vampire for so long that he wasn't really human anymore. It's vampires like Casimir who give other vampires a bad name. But try telling that to Sanford. Even now he maintains that it's important not to draw any kind of distinction between what's human and what's vampiric. He insists that vampirism is just another form of humanity--that there's nothing inherently
wrong with being a vampire. And whenever I try to contradict him, he gives me a lecture about my attitude.
"Casimir is probably sick," said Father Ramon, playing the peacemaker as usual. "He probably can't get out of bed."
"That's right," Sanford agreed. "He might be having an adverse reaction to his supplements. It's happened before."
I could have reminded him, at this juncture, that Casimir had also suffered adverse reactions from fanging dead rats. But I didn't speak. Instead I stared out at the passing streetscape, which was undergoing a slow transformation: the turrets, avenues, door knockers, mailboxes, and iron railings were giving way to signage, awnings, plate glass, traffic lights, and concrete barriers. Pedestrians strolled along, swaddled in winter coats. Colored lights flashed inside a corner pub.
I lifted my sunglasses to get a better look at the festivities. It was only going to be a quick squint.
But Sanford nearly bit my head off.
"Nina!" he squawked. "There are headlights everywhere!
Do you want your eyes to start bleeding again?" Welcome to my world. It's the kind of place where you can't do the simplest thing without risking a full-blown hemorrhage. God I'm sick of it.

Despite Jon Heyman's report that the Rangers were planning to trade their short stop Elvis Andrus, GM Jon Daniels says otherwise.
Andrus not being moved. Jon Daniels:"We're not breakinf up our strengths, and one of biggest strengths is the left side(Andrus, Beltre)"
— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) March 19, 2013
Last week, we found out that the Rangers were scouting Joba Chamberlain. We know that a Yankee scout attended last Thursday's Rangers game, which narrows down a trade to a few possible players. David Murphy, Mitch Moreland, Craig Gentry, Elvis Andrus, and Mike Olt all played. Since then, we've learned that the Yankees have no interest in Gentry, and that Andrus is not available. The Rangers probably can't afford trading away Murphy, and at this point it looks like discussions were likely around either Moreland or Olt.
On Monday, in an interview with Mike Francesa, Brian Cashman said that he does not have any trades brewing at the moment, but is looking thoroughly into options in other camps.
Chamberlain is getting a lot of playing time of late, throwing one high-leverage at bat (strikeout looking) yesterday, and a 9 pitch 1-2-3 inning today where his fastball sat at 96 mph. On the Ranger's front, the organization optioned down Mike Olt to Triple-A this week, which sets up Mitch Moreland as the starting first baseman. The Rangers don't seem to be too enamored with Baseball America's #22 prospect this year, considering they've been including him in trade proposals as recently as a month ago. All signs point to Olt as the main target here, but there's no telling what it would cost outside of Chamberlain.

SAVANNAH, GA (WRDW)-Panera Bread holding a fundraiser for the little girl who was asked to take off her squeaky orthopedic shoes.
Earlier this month, 2-year-old Emma Duke was with her mother when an employee asked if she could take off her squeaky orthopedic shoes because it was bothering another customer.
Catherine Dukes says her daughter has a developmental disorder and the family has mounting medical bills.
Panera Bread has apologized for the incident, and the company is now hosting a bake sale, yard sale, and raffle Saturday January the 23rd.
A spokesperson says another fundraiser is also planned for February.

Crash.Net F1 News
Theissen to leave BMW
25 November 2010
Mario Theissen is to leave his position as the head of BMW Motorsport, having been involved with the marque since 1977.
Having initially worked as a development engineer, Theissen has held the position of motorsport chief for more than twelve years, with his time in charge including the period spent by the German manufacturer in F1 – firstly with the Williams team and then with its own outfit after the purchase of Sauber.
Theissen will be replaced by former Toyota general manager of business development Jens Marquardt, who will join BMW on 1 January.
The pair will work together for the first six months of 2011 to ensure Marquardt is able to familiarise himself with his new role, which will include preparing for BMW's entry into the DTM in 2012.
"We have planned and prepared this changeover very carefully," Theissen said. "With the realignment of BMW Motorsport and the decision in favour of the DTM project, the path to a successful future on the race track has been mapped out. Now is also the best time to entrust the leadership of BMW Motorsport to new hands.
"I have no doubt that in Jens Marquardt we have found the right man for this exciting task and I look forward to our time working together. On 1 July 2011 he will be perfectly equipped to take over the reins."

Horse Sense
A Practical Treatise
by Joseph Curtis Curryer
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
It is now quite a number of years since my friend, Mr. Woodworth, made a suggestion that I have since tried to follow. He said to me (after seeing the manner in which I handled a wild and nervous horse): "if you will note down from day to day what your experience justifies, in a few years you will be able to give us a book on the horse that will be just what we need." I hope this friend is still living, and if he will write me his criticism of the work, it will be taken as a special favor.
This book has been written at the suggestion of many strong personal friends, and at the earnest solicitation of hundreds of others by letter.
It must be borne in mind that the work has been done at odd moments and after the manner suggested above, consequently some may criticise it for the many repetitions or too much stress being laid on principles, natural laws and unerring methods, but it is the author's firm conviction that these very things will serve as monuments to his memory, with those who will read the book and comply with its suggestions.
For the want of a better name (at the suggestion of a personal friend), it is christened Horse Sense, and it is the most sincere desire of the author that the work or book fully justifies so good a name.
The questions and answers in the veterinary department are designed to meet the wants of many who are not favored with having the veterinary surgeon at easy call, but it should be understood that where competent veterinary skill can be had, the seriously sick horse should be in his hands.
A grateful acknowledgement is hereby offered to those who have assisted, encouraged and sustained the author in what they are pleased to call a commendable labor for mankind, our horses and the country generally.

Texas real estate has felt the pinch of the economy in the last couple of years, but nothing like what the rest of the country has suffered, and there are still ample opportunities for real estate agents to make a great living wile doing what they love doing most. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin have ample opportunities. The real estate market is not flowing like honey into the valley these days, but for sharp professionals with a goal, the current situation is a mere hiccup, in the over picture of the industry.
There are hundreds of brokers that Texas licensed real estate agents can work for, and there are huge differences in many. Some will just do nothing, and wait for you to bring them their cut of the commission when selling a property. VIP Realty is far removed from this type of real estate model. We actually take a proactive approach, in all facets of training to help each agent realize their full potential in whatever real estate market they would like to specialize in during their career. One on one mentoring, online training, and class based education is an on going process, and made available the instant you come aboard the VIP Realty Team.
Every real estate professional needs an arsenal of tools to help leverage their time, and abilities in the field today, and VIP realty has gone out of it

skippy50 8:16 AM on February 10, 2011
Pretty obvious from last nights game that the Habs need a tough guy or two in the line up! Moen is the only one that knows how to fight. No toughness and they don't have a hope against the Bruins or Flyers. Hey Mr Gauthier call Vancouver, Rick Rypien could add something to your third or fourth line, no more Laraques please. The game was embarassing to watch Habs players getting the krap beat out of them
larryhabsfan 8:27 AM on February 10, 2011
Hmmm....I wonder how many Habs did in their pants last night? It's obvious that intimidation played a key role in this outcome......Bruins just scared the sh..t out of us! I wonder how long we last against the Flyers or Bruins in the playoffs....Gather has to make a move, we need big guys, if only to gain some respect....common man!
anonymous 8:54 AM on February 10, 2011
The last time I looked, this is supposed to be hockey. The Bruins, inspired by the dumbness of PK Subban, and condoned by the referees who could have nipped this in the bud by throwing somebody out of the game early, yes skippy50 beat the heck out of the Habs. We don't need a "fighter" like Rypien, we would need 10 fighters like Rypien. No, the name of the game is hockey. We need some intelligent refereeing and some intelligence by the league to get this game back to hockey, not ultimate fightng. Bruins vs Dallas and now Bruins vs Habs. Do you see a common demoninator here. Cooke four games. He sould be out for the year. The hit on Crosby, no punishment for Steckel. Wow. Mario, speak up. You changed the game when you retired the first time when you said you didn't want to play in a garage league. Well, what kind of a league is it now.
anonymous 9:11 AM on February 10, 2011
canadians lost the game and most of the so called fights.gill must get tired playing and baby sitting pk at the same time.boston had the jump all night and they were skating free to the goalie.
anonymous 9:18 AM on February 10, 2011
The Habs have been pushed around by Boston even since that douchbag LUCIC handed Komasarek his lunch a few years ago and never responded. They had Laracque follow him around yapping at him but that was it. It is time the Habs man-up and stop being the wimps of the NHL...it is damn embarrassing to an organization with so much history and pride. I hope the powers that be open their eyes and get some muscle to protect their guys like Subban, Spacek, Pyatt....who should not have to deal with the Goons of the NHL themselves.
skippy50 10:06 AM on February 10, 2011
Anonymous@8:54 You are right, it is hockey and fighting has been part of it since it began. Yes there is a lot of inconsistency at the Top level as far as punishment for cheap shots! Fighting and intimidation is part of the game, Bruins and Flyers are tough and obviously push players around. You don't need "10 Rypiens" or Boogaards, 1 or two will do fine to even the playing field. Look where the Bruins and Flyers are in the standings, some talent mixed with toughness. Mario has his share of toughness, Goddard and stupid players like Cooke, don't see him stepping up to nothing other then how much money the Team brings in!!!

Spain Utters The B-Word, Ruins The Party.... Update - False Alarm: The Taxpayer Rape Will Continue
Update: we have entered full retard rumor territory again:
In other words, no B-word; to summarize - Spain float rumors, does not like market response, denies rumor. Taxpayer rape must continue.
Spain just uttered the "B" word and ruined the party:
What is the B-word you ask? Why Burdensharing of course. And we can see why it would be confusing - it never happened once in the past 3 years of central bank coordinated bailouts.
Naturally this means equities wiped out. It also means the free lunch for the banking kleptocrat cartel is now over.
And some other headlines:
- advertisements -
Line up gang.....strict limit of 5.
On your mark, get ready, go, and the Bank Run is off and going in Spain. Adios Mi Amigo....
False alarm.........hey......I GOT FILLED!!!!
The latest fear mongering. If we don't do as the central bankers say Hitler will be reborn:
Ghost of Nazi Past Haunts Austerity-Gripped Europe: Euro Credit
"The specter of the 1930s financial crisis that culminated in the rise of Adolf Hitler's Nazi party and the Second World War is stalking Europe.
In May 1931, Creditanstalt, founded in Vienna by the Rothschild banking dynasty and the biggest lender in what remained of the Habsburg Empire, suffered a run. Its collapse after a merger with an insolvent rival sparked a crisis that left Germany and central Europe strewn with failed banks, caused defaults in Europe and Latin America, knocked the pound off the gold standard, and forced the New York Federal Reserve by October to raise its discount rate by 2 percentage points.
"The biggest economic catastrophe of the last century has been, of course, the big crisis after 1929," Ewald Nowotny, governor of the Austrian central bank, said at a conference this week in Vienna. "I truly can say that when we had the big crisis of 2007 and 2008, it was in the back of the mind of everybody, all of us, every central banker, that we must avoid the mistakes of the 1930s." "
Bankruptcy??? Oh damn.
Should be getting the AAAA++++ today.
Man, I was just getting used to my Uncle jessie Greek haircut. Now I have to get an Jersey shore guido haircut? how about a matador styled haircut as well?
we need many, many more matador jokes in this topic.
EUR/USD went full retard
Yeah.....that wouldn't be unexpected.
'It also means the free lunch for the banking kleptocrat cartel is now over.'
Seems relevant.
i can't take this constant eurotrash onslaught much longer. either plant trees aong the sidewalks of al of europe so that the germans don't have to march in the shade, or let the zombie apocalypse start.
It goes, "Why are the streets in Paris lined with trees? So the Germans can march in the shade."
Thank you, thank you... try the veal, don't forget to tip your waitress.
nein! nein! nein! we vill hear from ze zombie germanz riding mutant velociraptors as long as our esteemed masters of the universe deem it necessary, i.e. until ze germanz let the eurozone go in the way ze MegaBanks want
yesterday, one teenaged niece asked me if ze germanz could not just pass a law that raises all contracts, i.e. all wages and retail prices, by 30% - instead of the periphery doing the opposite by leaving the eurozone
I was tempted to guffaw - then I realized this is as intelligent or stupid as what has been proposed by Dimon, Blythe and their paid shills. of course, it would make the german saver livid...
I see we have a Dr Who fan.
Unlawful gain clawback ? How about going after the mansions and other goodies these kleptocrats got through fraud and thievery ?
"Why Burdensharing of course."
He ain't heavy, he's my brother (in debt).
Silver acting like its in a depression.
Barely hanging on to support. My guess is that "Da Boyz" are going to break it.
Should be time for the massive short covering.........anytime now.
Trash Robo all you want... the numbers are what they are. At this point there is little (near term) reason to be long (paper) silver. Might as well use it to your advantage.
That would be fantastic, because I'd like to buy some more, but prefer a lower price. I really appreciate the way monetary fire insurance so frequently goes on sale as the global financial house fire increases in intensity. The only analogy I can think of would be, if your actual house was on fire, and the insurance company REDUCED the price of buying MORE insurance, in a desperate bid to get you to think your current policy was losing value so you would sell it back to them before cashing it in.
In any case, a sale's a sale....
There is little interest among the longs in being MFG'd. The exchanges are thus losing relevence. They will go to zero on high volatility as the world abandons them.
A big fat donught and whop gives a fig when your holding the shiney stuff in your hand?
Is this Spains way of pulling and Iceland? If so, bravo.
Not even close to an Iceland.
It's not a party without the B's and hoe's.
Somebody needs to spell this out for me.
Does this mean the Spiderman towel promo ISN'T working?!
Bu..but They PROMISED!
Circus continues.
Dylan Ratigan, tired of the bullshit, has his farewell show today at 4 est on msnbc. He's had a great run with some remarkable explosions of crazy honesty about the charade.
I'm hoping today's is epic.
Unfortunately Dylan Ratigan has had a (disturbing) revelation, the same one many of us have had.
Suddenly we realize that we can shout from the roof tops as long and as loud as we want. But people just won't listen until they are good and ready to listen. For many, that time is never.
It can be very demoralizing if you honestly thought you could make a difference in this manner. At this point many just turn off and become depressed or withdraw. A few others begin the search for greater meaning and turn within for answers.
This is when the real personal growth can begin. It all begins within.
I'm there, dude. Thanks for posting.
CD - Reading your post got me to log in this morning simply to give you a +1. I hope more people -- some in my close family -- get to this spot as well. Peace and have a great weekend.
The good fight is always the hardest path to walk.
Seems the blue/red charade of American Democracy is all-consuming. Of course, that's the only game fit for the media to cover. Who's it gonna be, DimocRats or RepubliCunts? Step right up for the Greatest Show On Earth: Obammy v Rmoney! Everthing that matters is riding on this one!
And it all depends upon you, American voter. Have your say!
Anthing that falls outside the terms of their game is as relevant as American Idol is to the Super Bowl.
Shock horror, shudder, the world will now end that the .... bbbbbbond holders will have to share the bbbbburden
I wonder how the "B" word affects those CDS spreads and 10y rates in Italy and France?
ssssh sschu...do NOT say the word "France". If that cat gets out of the bag then all hell will break loose. France has 57%+ of GDP in govt...all of the greektragedy, spanish swoon, and italianinsanity pales in comparison to the debacle that is France. Add in Hollande & the die is cast. And it ain't in the periphery... it's in the heart!
Meanwhile in Greece (from Grauniad)
Now Greece's new finance minister has collapsed. Reuters reports "Greek incoming finance minister Rapanos taken to hospital after fainting spell - govt sources". Twitter is alive with speculation as to what prompted his faint.
finmin rapanos took a look at the state finances and fainted; pm samaras saw the figures and suffered a detached retina.
— Diane Shugart (@dianalizia) June 22, 2012
Ah, Oedipus.
What a fitting name for a Finance Minister - Rapanos.
B-words at Rome politburo meeting today :
Rajoy : lets Burdenshare
Hollande: lets Blast-away!
Monti : lets Borrow more
Merkel : Bollocks to you all!
Oh to B or not to B word!
I thought the "B" word was "Bailar!"...the Forbidden Dance!
Apparently all the algos are having a chess tournament today so it should be another 200 point down.

Favourite Game Of All TimeDodec1 | May 9, 2014 | Review of Mount Blade Warband Steam - PC
This is the beast game I have played no questions asked, this has amazing combat with swords,crossbows and not to forget bows. When you first buy this game (Witch is worth any price in my book's) it's no stop fun. That amazing feeling you get when you get your first mounted troop, your first castle and when and if you take down a King! Plus the multilayer is amazing hundred's of people attacking a defending a castle. Get this game NAO!!!
Fun! For A Bit...Dodec1 | May 7, 2014 | Review of Goat Simulator - PC
Me and my friend played this game and really enjoyed it! Laughing at all its glitches, bad voices and just gleefulness of this game. But we found that it got a bit stale after a bit with only 1 map, and a few different goats. This game doesn't have allot to offer, so be warned you will only get a few hours out of this game. But those few hours are absolute bliss! So if you have some extra cash give this game a try.
GTA But In Hong KongDodec1 | May 7, 2014 | Review of Sleeping Dogs (1) - PC
This is just like GTA, but in many ways better! I feel that the setting is amazing, and the characters are wonderful, the story of a undercover cop infiltrating a Triad is one to remember! I think that this game along with that its amazing fighting system and the driving is worth a pick up.
One of the beast game's I've played, Hands down.Dodec1 | May 6, 2014 | Review of Fallout New Vegas Bethesda - PC
First things first, Get this game now! No matter the price, also get the DLC. It is lengthy, fun and has a rich story. For original fallout fan's it's your lucky day. It goes back to the setting of Fallout 1, so pack some nuka cola and some ammo because your heading for Nevada!
It's ok...Dodec1 | May 6, 2014 | Review of Primal Carnage - PC
When I saw trailers and gameplay i was amazed, but now that I have it. I'm not so sure.... Being a dinosaur is pretty cool but I find that the maps and human charters need fleshing out, and some of the dinosaurs are kinda over powered but I think for under 8$ this game is worth a pick up.
Retro Design Not Always = GoodDodec1 | May 5, 2014 | Review of Dead Pixels - PC
First things first, the art style. This is one of the only things that I like about this game, I find that the way it shows it characters and enemies very cool and appealing. But playing to nostalgia won't alone make a game good. I have played this game for about 5 hours or so about 3 on the XBOX and 2 on the PC. I find that this game lacks variety and it gets stale very quickly, it does however have quite a few weapons and weapon types. But I found that it din't matter they all fell the same! When I shoot a shotgun in a game I want to fell that it would do more damage and sound much more devastating, than the default pistol! But they just feel like re textures, one of its only 2 redeeming qualities is its price 3$. Only buy this if you have some money left over to burn or just want a laugh for a bit, otherwise. Don't buy this game!
Great Art, Great GameDodec1 | May 5, 2014 | Review of Dont Starve - PC
Don't Starve is a very weird but great take on the "Survival Game" genera, you are thrown into a harsh unforgiving world were the only advice you get it "Don't Starve". That is what I think makes this game amazing! You have no idea what to do you start by just picking up things off the ground, while 20 hours later you have a base with enough supplies to last a life time! But one false move and all of that work is gone, but not everything about this game is good... One gripe I have with this game is it has no local or online multiplayer! This game would be 10 time better if you and your buds could create a base and take down bosses, but alas they are not adding it :C. But never the less I believe that 15$ is worth the money and you time! A definite buy.

The game marked the opener for both schools.
Buford, in its Wing-T attack, was controlling time of possession in the opening period, but the favorable BHS start was foiled with a bobbled handoff which landed in the hands of the Warriors' Jarrell Robinson, who raced untouched for 78 yards for a 6-0 score.

The third annual Family Promise golf tournament had its best event yet, according to tourney director Ron Burke.
"This was our best one by far since we started," Burke said. "I feel the word is out about Family Promise and what the program is about. We had people throughout the community to step up and make a difference at their churches. I feel great about what we've been able to accomplish over a short time with this tournament."
Buford High School senior Desmond McGriff has gone from nearly not playing to the Jackets' playmaker.
Last winter after the Jackets' playoff basketball season, McGriff pondered the notion of a total focus on basketball.
It didn't happen and McGriff, a 5-8, 150-pound performer, is glad.
"My friends really talked to me back into playing football and urged me to play," he said.

The weekend went well for Buford High School.
It started Friday night in the seventh annual Founders Kickoff Classic at Lancaster Memorial Stadium where the Jackets posted a 6-0 win over Class AAA foe Fort Mill High School.
