Amanda Knox, the US college student cleared of murder by an Italian court after four years in prison, is to talk publicly about the case for the first time.
Knox, 25, will discuss the sensational case with journalist Diane Sawyer in an interview to be broadcast on April 30 - the same day her book Waiting to Be Heard is published, TV network ABC said.
Knox, along with her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, was convicted of murdering her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in 2007 in a grisly, sex-fueled crime in the Italian hill town of Perugia. She was sentenced to 26 years in prison.
She was cleared on appeal in 2011 and returned from Italy to her Seattle-area home, where she has kept a low profile.
Kercher's half-naked body, with more than 40 wounds and a deep gash in the throat, was found in the apartment she shared with Knox in Perugia where both were studying.
The crime and the trial drew worldwide attention and criticism in the US of the Italian legal system.
ABC said Knox would divulge details she had never shared about her journey from an American student studying abroad to a young woman facing decades behind bars in Italy.
Sollecito released his own book, Honor Bound, last year. He acknowledged that their sometimes bizarre behavior after Kercher's killing gave police reason for suspicion.
Rudy Guede, a petty criminal who was convicted separately, remains imprisoned and is serving a 16-year-sentence.

What happened to rest in peace?
Poor ol' Galileo is resting in pieces!
If there was ever a good reason to be cremated, this might be it.
The museum plans to display the fingers and tooth in March 2010, after it re-opens following a renovation, Galluzzi said."Galileo's missing fingers found in jar"
The museum has had the third Galileo finger since 1927, so the digits will be reunited for the first time in centuries, he added.
Removing body parts from the corpse was an echo of a practice common with saints, whose digits, tongues and organs were revered by Catholics as relics with sacred powers.
It starts with a simple ear of corn. Then, it is drenched in pools of viscous liquids, topped with layers of crumbled something, and sprinkled with spices. Over and over again.

What happened to rest in peace?
Poor ol' Galileo is resting in pieces!
If there was ever a good reason to be cremated, this might be it.
I dunno. There are worse things than having your fingers in a jar.
Then again, dead is dead, innit.
this is great, for the longest time the Catholic Church thought Galileo was giving them the finger. Now he can give them the Shocker!
I'm not a proponent of cloning, but I think I would be happy to let this slide :)
It wasn't only Catholics who thought "relics" were groovy. HEATHENS were into body parts as well!
If I had a nickel for every temple in Asia built around one of Buddha's eyelashes….
@Adam: I'm guessing that if the buddha had an eyelash for every temple built around one of the buddha's eyelashes, he would have been a werewolf.
A very serene werewolf.
I find it deliciously ironic both that his body was treated like that of a saint, when in fact the Vatican hated him at the time, and that it was the third finger that was kept, appropriately giving the Church the finger…
I'm sure there's a dystopian future novel in there somewhere, with cloistered "Round Earthers" hiding Saint Galileo's relics from the Palinistas and secretly building a telescope in a barn.
Or a Dan Brown novel
creepiness. but if i had a piece of his corpse, i would likely build church.
Galileo: Patron Saint of Skepticism
Hamish, great spin on an obvious joke! Funny.
Am I the only one that thinks the finger looks excessively long? Or were fingers just longer in the 1700s?
I'm guessing this "finger" actually starts at the wrist.
This reminds me the chinese proverb "When someone is pointing at the moon, only the fool looks at the finger". Well OK, it's not pointing at the moon anymore, but it probably did at some point..
Is this really Galileo´s finger? Is there any proof it is the real thing?
Similar artefacts have been faked along the centuries.
Do not believe of its originality unless there is real scientific evidence that this is the actual finger of Galileo´s
I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I got to the Museum of the History of Science this summer and found it was being renovated, with Galileo's middle finger on tour somewhere. Still a nifty museum, though, even at 1/3 strength.
It's a bit simplistic and harsh to say that the Vatican "hated" Galileo. There were, in fact, many of the more learned clergy who understood the truth of his observations, but felt he should keep his mouth shut, at least for the time being. In the midst of the Reformation, the Catholic and Protestant faiths were both keen to brand themselves as the more "traditional" and "pure" Christianity, and to paint the other side as dangerous, free-thinking radicals. The truth of scientific inquiry, especially in a field as remote from practical concerns as astronomy, was considered a trivial concern compared to the struggle for spiritual power.
I can only hope for this kind of fame. Didn't Mozart's skull make the rounds for awhile?
By the way – this museum is way cool. It is chock full of measuring gadgets and telescopes from years past. Highly recommended for the geek visiting Florence.
A cool example, as found on Flickr. I wish I had been able to spend more time in this place, and I wish more of the displays were in English.
Jake, that's my Facebook icon! (With me and the missus reflected in the armillary instead of those two suspicious-looking strangers.) I have a bunch of photos from the museum on Flickr as well, if you're interested.
Galileo's defeated essence is gradually re-assembling his body.
When the Star Lord's form is complete he will rise again.
Then the Catholic Church will get what's coming to them.
I just like that he's pointing up.
One of Galileo's biggest followers was Giovanni Battista Hodierna, a priest from Sicily. He compiled what would become one of the first deep sky catalogs, predating the one compiled by Charles Messier by over a century.
Can't speak for the rest of the church, however…
That's gross :)
Who cares about parts of his body ? His body of work is what is important.
Collect all five and then we'll know where the 70 billion people of earth are hiding.
We deeply regretted missing this when we visited Florence this fall. But we did get to go to La Specola, which was *awesome.* (Thanks, Atlas Obscura, and thanks, BB, for the rec.)
So the auction was about changing who manages the rights to Galileo's digits. Another DRM story from boingboing.
I wonder how many penises of famous people are sitting in the basements of museums. Come to think of it, how documented is this process of removing bits and ends?
How does one authenticate the eBay "Hitler's penis Item # 2357654" ??
The Catholic church persecuted Galileo because he dared to say that the earth revolved around the sun. The church threw him in prison for a decade, took all his earthly possessions & land, and when he got out of prison, the church banished him from the land forever. This is religianity & churchianity using spiritualism while employing seduction & terror for greedy financial gain & power. This is the church giving you the "finger".
Oooh, this CNN article has much better info than several news sites I came across. I actually did a bit of digging on the background of the story, and have posted it on my blog, which Galileo aficionados and other death-obsessed types can find on my profile page.
I recall "The Book Of Lists" back in the eighties reporting a list of famous people's body parts and among them was Napoleon Bonapart's penis. It measured 1.5″. Please, someone, anyone, tell me this wasn't taken from him as some sort of sainted charm as well.

By Andrew Bolwell
Explosive technological advancement has created a molten landscape of disruption, reinvention and creation. New services arrive and become versatile building blocks for new ideas, products and businesses. As intuitive and intelligent technology relieves us of administrative burdens, we can spend more energy on what matters: curiosity, imagination, personal connection, reflection. As technology blurs lines between work and home, physical and digital, there is profound opportunity not just in what these new technologies are but in why they matter in human terms. Andrew Bolwell, HP Printing and Personal Systems Director of Innovation, reports from the dawn of the new Innovation Age. [continued]
IoT, Identity Management and WebRTC
By Peter Dunkley
We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service - possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings - and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorisation, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) irreversibly encoded. This presentation looks at how this identity problem can be solved and discusses ways to use existing web identities for real-time communication. [continued]

WebRTC and IoT – A Telehealth Rocket?
By Ivelin Ivanov
Telehealth legislation opened the floodgates for investment in modern communications services and APIs since 2010. WebRTC promises a second revolution. In his session at 2nd WebRTC Summit, Ivelin Ivanov, co-founder of TeleStax, will discuss a real-world example where telephony APIs make a difference in improving patient care and reducing healthcare costs. He will then look into a brighter telehealth future with secure, high quality, ubiquitous WebRTC video interactions. [continued]
Using Docker For a Complex Internet of Things Application
By Aater Suleman
Docker provides a user-friendly layer on top of Linux Containers (LXCs). LXCs provide operating-system-level virtualization by limiting a process's resources. In addition to using the chroot command to change accessible directories for a given process, Docker effectively provides isolation of one group of processes from other files and system processes without the expense of running another operating system. [continued]
A New Architecture for the Enterprise Internet of Things
By James Kirkland
Explosive growth in connected devices. Enormous amounts of data for collection and analysis. Critical use of data for split-second decision making and actionable information.

DALLAS – Creative editor Peter Tarter has formed Treehouse (www.treehouseedit.com), a new editorial boutique in Dallas that also offers visual effects, compositing and finishing services. Tarter spent the past four years at ReelFX in Dallas, and has worked on projects for JC Penney, Hyundai, Dodge, Toyota and Home Depot. His new company will focus on both advertising and independent film projects.
A New York native, Tarter edited in Los Angeles for 18 years before relocating to Dallas in 2008. He began his career as an assistant editor with Spotwelders in Santa Monica and became an editor at Rock Paper Scissors. Along the way, he had an opportunity to work on a variety of commercials and music video projects, and also learned the value of customer service.
"I was taught to give every project my all," he recalls. "I learned that the client comes first and that's become my mission statement. If you give me three scenes, I'm going to make a story out of it. That's what it's all about… fleshing out every possibility to give the client the best product."
Joining the Treehouse staff is visual effects artist/compositor Bryan Bayley, who will man an Autodesk Flame suite. He also comes from ReelFX, where he worked on numerous campaigns for Home Depot and Ram Trucks. In addition, Bayley has contributed to several independent films and music videos, including Katy Perry's Firework.
John McStravick joins the compant as associate editor. He recently completed his first project for Treehouse, a six-spot package for Russell Athletic via The Richards Group.

Turkey: an encouraging rapport between Catholics and Muslims
"Stop buying oil from ISIS and selling them weapons!"
The new Custos of the Holy Land: "I come with humility and trepidation"
Do away with those monks. Signed: Viceroy Graziani
"In the face of Islamic terrorism, we should question ourselves about how Western democracy has been exported"
Fr. Luis, the friar Francis mentioned as an example of mercy
"Francis' visits to Lesbos and Lampedusa aim to put an end to indifference"
"Pope is going to Lesbos to remind us of who our neighbours are"
The duty of rekindling hope: the Church's support for refugees in Jordan
Diaz: "Cardinal Mahony should reflect on the example set by the Pope"
"Just like everyone else, Cardinal Mahony should reflect on the example set by the Pope." Miguel Diaz, who up until two months ago was the U.S. ambassador to the Holy See, is using all his diplomatic skill to persuade the Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles, who was involved in the Church sex-abuse scandal, not to take part in the Conclave. Regarding the election of the Pope's successor, he added: "There are obvious divisions. What the Church needs now is a leader that is able to say "that is enough"." Diaz returned to his post as theologian at the University of Dayton, in Ohio, but the post of U.S. ambassador to the Holy See remains vacant: "I am waiting for President Obama and Secretary of State, Kerry, decide though of course I would be glad to participate in the election of the new Pope."
What were your thoughts when you heard about the Pope's resignation?
"I wasn't particularly surprised because Benedict XVI had spoken about it previously. He gave a human dimension to the papacy and acted as an example to all leaders, religious and non: when one is no longer in a condition - not only physical - to do their job, one has the right and the duty to resign."
Mahony's case is the most disputed one in the United States.
"The decision lies with him and he certainly has the legal right to vote in the Conclave, but the Pope also had the right to continue as Pope but instead chose to step down, accepting his human limits. A Pope's physical conditions are not the only thing that can prevent him from serving to the best of his ability. We should all learn from Benedict's example and ask ourselves whether there are obstacles and act responsibly, to ensure the common good of the institution, of the people of God and of all human beings."
President Obama was also often criticised by the American hierarchy: how did he react?
"It is impossible for two institutions to be perfectly in line with each other. We knew there were differences but we made sure these did not paralyse us: the first conference I attended in Rome was on AIDS prevention."
Why has Hilary Clinton never visited the Vatican?
"Organisational problems, that's all. She told all ambassadors to do three things: listen to others, learn and lead based on what we have heard. I have done just this."
What was your experience of the scandals during your time in the Vatican?
"Divisions do exist and all Catholics can see them. We are too divided politically, ideologically, theologically and on a regional level. What we need now is a leader who is able to say "that is enough": this Church is Catholic, differences should not create division but opportunities."
What do you expect from the next Conclave, an American Pope perhaps?
"It has nothing to do with nationality but quality of leadership. We need a bridge builder who can take on the world's challenges. A manager who is able to manage God's plan for mankind."

MH370: Malaysian PM says missing plane "ended its journey" in the Indian Ocean
| updated at xx
Families of passengers of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have been informed that the plane ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, effectively ending their hopes of a miraculous survival. Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak gave the information "with deep sadness and regret" in a televised press conference at 15:00 CET. The presser came after three new sightings of possible debris, with France as well announcing yesterday that its satellite sighted possible wreckage from the plane in the southern Indian Ocean.
The last known location of the plane was in remote Indian Ocean waters off the coast of Perth on Australia's west coast, with the information on its last whereabouts coming from the UK's Air accidents investigation branch.
Malaysian authorities briefed the families of the missing passengers ahead of the Prime Minister's press conference.
Watch: Malaysian PM's press conference:
Australian authorities spotted at least two new floating objects in the Southern Indian Sea where a US Navy P-8 Poseidon, the most advanced search aircraft in the world, had been unable to find objects spotted earlier on Monday by a Chinese aircraft hunting for clues to the missing Malaysia jet.
The Australian Prime Minister said the country's Maritime Safety Authority had advised him the search jet P-3 Orion crew had seen a grey or green circular object as well as an orange rectangular object, both of which are separate to the objects spotted by a Chinese aircraft, in the Indian ocean.
Watch: Families of MH370 passengers react to news about crashed jet
The Australian media quote a different version coming from a member of the P-3 Orion crew, saying he saw at least 4 different objects: "The first object was rectangular, slightly below the ocean, the second object was circular, also slightly below the ocean", "We came across a cylindrical object that was 2m long about 30cm across, and we came across another item that was also cylindrical and shaped in a rough fish hook".
The new objects were spotted in the search area about 2,500 kilometres southwest of Perth at about 2.45pm Australian time.
The Chinese Ilyushin IL-76 aircraft spotted two "relatively big" floating objects and several smaller white ones dispersed over several kilometers, the Xinhua news agency reported earlier. Beijing announced later that there was no confirmation yet that the objects belong to the missing flight.

Covenant Transportation Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:CVTI) announced today financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, including a rise in revenue and operating income.
Highlights for the quarter included the following:
Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer David R. Parker said, "Operating results for our asset-based operations improved meaningfully as our operating ratio was 93.2% compared with 95.3% in last year's second quarter. The quarter was characterized by robust freight volumes, customers seeking a high level of service, an ability to improve yields through lane engineering and higher rates, and strong competition for an increasingly short supply of qualified professional drivers.
"For the quarter, total revenue in our asset-based operations decreased to $160.3 million, a decrease of $1.5 million compared with the second quarter of 2013. This decrease consisted of lower freight revenue of $1.0 million, along with lower fuel surcharge revenue of $0.5 million. The $1.0 million decrease in freight revenue related to a 7.8% decrease in our average tractor fleet, partially offset by a 6.8% increase in average freight revenue per tractor per week and a $0.9 million increase of freight revenue contributed from our refrigerated intermodal service offering. During this quarter, we experienced stabilization of our average tractor fleet with 2,569 trucks in April, 2,561 trucks in May and 2,570 trucks in June.
"Average freight revenue per tractor per week increased to $3,664 during the 2014 quarter from $3,431 during the 2013 quarter. Average freight revenue per total mile increased by 7.6 cents per mile (or 5.2%) compared to the 2013 quarter on an approximately 8.5% increase in average length of haul. Average miles per unit increased by 1.5%. The main factors impacting the improved utilization were a 220 basis point increase in the percentage of our fleet comprised of team-driven tractors and a tighter overall freight network, partially offset by the more stringent hours of service regulations imposed in July 2013 and a slightly lower seated truck percentage. On average, approximately 4.7% of our fleet lacked drivers during the 2014 quarter compared with approximately 4.3% during the 2013 quarter.
"Operating costs continue to be pressured in several areas. Salaries, wages and related expenses increased approximately 5.3 cents per mile due to employee pay adjustments since the second quarter of 2013 and higher workers compensation expense.
"Capital costs (combined depreciation and amortization, revenue equipment rentals and interest expense) increased by approximately $1.6 million. The main factors were higher depreciation expense for more expensive tractors as we continued to invest in new, more fuel efficient equipment that also offers dependability, lower operating costs, improved safety technology, and improved driver satisfaction. These increased capital costs were partially offset by an approximately $0.8 million increase in gains on sale of revenue equipment.
"Net fuel expense improved meaningfully as a result of our capital investments, efficiency initiatives, improved fuel pricing, and favorable adjustments to fuel surcharge programs from customers. Net fuel expense was approximately 8.1 cents per company mile in the 2014 quarter compared with 13.0 cents per company mile in the 2013 quarter. Of the approximately 4.9 cents per mile improvement, approximately 2.0 cents per mile related to a combination of an approximately $0.9 million fuel tax credit related to amended fuel tax returns for the fiscal years of 2010 through 2013 and approximately $0.3 million in gains from fuel hedging transactions compared with losses of $0.3 million in the 2013 quarter. We expect to continue using fuel price hedges periodically to mitigate the potential volatility in fuel prices relating to the portion of our fuel usage that is not covered by fuel surcharges, which may result in favorable or unfavorable results in any given quarter."
Mr. Parker offered the following comments concerning Covenant Transport Solutions, Inc. (Solutions), the company's non-asset based subsidiary: "For the quarter, Solutions' total revenue increased 25.6%, to $13.3 million from $10.6 million in the same quarter of 2013. Operating income was approximately $565,000 for an operating ratio of 95.8%, compared with operating income of approximately $475,000 and an operating ratio of 95.5% in the second quarter of 2013. Solutions' gross margins expanded, offset by other operating expenses increasing as a percentage of revenue. In June of 2014, we discontinued an underperforming location which is expected to reduce revenue by $2-$3 million per quarter reducing Solutions' ability to cover its fixed overhead costs that could pressure margins in the near term. In addition, our 49% equity investment in Transport Enterprise Leasing ("TEL") contributed approximately $0.9 million of pre-tax income in the quarter compared with $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2013."
Richard B. Cribbs, the company's senior vice president and chief financial officer, added, "At June 30, 2014, our total balance sheet debt and capital lease obligations, net of cash, were $212.2 million, our stockholders' equity was $103.0 million, and our tangible book value was $102.8 million, or $6.88 per basic share. At June 30, 2014, our ratio of net debt to total balance sheet capitalization was 67.3%. At June 30, 2014, the discounted value of future obligations under off-balance sheet operating lease obligations was approximately $71.4 million, including the residual value guarantees under those leases, and we believe the value of the leased equipment was approximately equal to the present value of such lease obligations. Since the end of 2013, the company's balance sheet debt and capital lease obligations, net of cash, has decreased by $14.1 million, while the present value of financing provided by operating leases decreased by approximately $7.5 million. At June 30, 2014, we had approximately $35.7 million of borrowing availability under our revolving line of credit.
"In the first half of 2014, we took delivery of approximately 380 new company tractors and disposed of approximately 750 used tractors. Our current tractor fleet plan for fiscal 2014 includes the delivery of approximately 800 new company tractors and the disposal of approximately 1,250 used tractors as we reduce the number of out-of-service tractors from our fleet from the beginning of the year. We now expect the average fleet size for the 2014 year to be approximately 4%-6% below that of fiscal 2013. With a relatively young average company tractor fleet age of 1.8 years at June 30, 2014, we believe there is significant flexibility to manage our fleet, and we plan to regularly evaluate our tractor replacement cycle and new tractor purchase requirements. We believe we have sufficient financing available from the captive finance subsidiaries of our main tractor suppliers, our revolving credit facility, and other sources to fund our expected revenue equipment purchases in 2014."

Uncomprehending bystanders watched talcum miners, a giant, and families in full face paint march through Surbiton yesterday for the 2014 Seething Festival.
Here are 16 brilliant things from a fine day out.
1. A giant bat.
Because conservation can be fun. The bat was brought along by the London Bat Group, and is pictured with Tuuli Bailey and Amelia Windsor.
2. These gorgeous German Shepherds.
Jodie and Prince are German Shepherds with a recessive gene which makes them look like "miniature polar bears", owner Louise Miller, 35, said, pictured with Terry Feist, 47.
3. Morris dancers.
What could be more British than Morris dancers performing on an overcast day? But the dancers from Kingston Morris brightened up St Andrew's Square.
4. Stoic yet bemused police officers.
Kingston police did a fine job of herding the selfie-taking giant guinea pigs, along with everyone else, through the streets.
5. Lamblord Adam Lewis' drive-by videography skills.
An excellent effort.
6. The live music.
Rosie Hopkins, above, one half of Super Spokes, got things going.
7. And some more music.
A foot-tapping set of acoustic blues from C R Thorn.
8. A (moderately) terrifying giant.
By now we all know the legend of Lefi Ganderson's victory over reprehensible colossus Thamas Deeton, pictured here towering over Samuel Shrimpton, 2, and dad Robert.
9. This splendid chap.
Simon Tyrrell, from the Friends of Seething Wells. And his excellent top hat.
10. Speaking of hats.
A head-turning headpiece worn by Janet Lake.
11. Did we mention hats?
12. Oh go on, just one more.
Morris dancer Ben Izard.
13. This confused barber.
Workers at the Darin barber shop in Brighton Road.
14. And these slightly perturbed onlookers.
15. And this pubgoer videoing through the window.
16. This young Seething recruit.
Alfie Rowden, clearly a discerning community festival-goer.

That being said, the chapters on reading, writing, speaking, and holding meetings were good reminders about how important it is to do these things well and how often they are done badly. Unfortunately those chapters are unlikely to resonate with the young and inexperienced readers who might find the rest of the book useful and even interesting.
Pozen says many times in the book that one way to be more productive is to give only a "B+" effort to low-value tasks. He apparently applied that advice to writing this book, but I would rate it a "C-".
Some of the the author's more provocative suggestions (such as mid-day naps) would be very difficult to achieve in some environments, i.e. in a union-based work setting or in open office interior designs. I was hoping to see how the author would adapt his advice to these challenges, but I ultimately felt his key message was to find a different job or try to change the system.
Admittedly, there are some common sense tips and reminders that may be helpful for someone new to the working world, and certainly I have colleagues who could benefit from advice about topics like prioritization and meeting facilitation.
Ultimately, anyone who follows the author's recommendations should be reasonably productive, but it turns out there is no special sauce to "extreme" productivity.
The tips on saving time in meetings, emails, and travel are extremely beneficial for young professionals. The chapter on writing is great, because professional writing has become extremely sloppy with the advent of smartphones. Although, I think the great purpose of this book is the advice to managers on how not to waste your employees time and damage their morale. Pozen goes into extensive detail on the bad habits that certain types of bosses have, even if they are doing so subconsciously. Pozen's book is not bogged down in dull statistics or research. It is written by a man with a life's worth of experience who is seeking to impart some wisdom on younger managers.
I purchased this book because I was having trouble managing time as the director of a small business. The reason I didn't give the book a full 5-star review was because I thought there just wasn't enough for the small businessman, which I was hoping for. This is understandable, because I don't believe Mr. Pozen has operated a small business based on his bio.Read more ›
I had the opportunity to interview Bob on our People and Projects Podcast ([...]) and found him to be one of the most kind, engaging, and generous guests ever. Bob Pozen is the real deal and this book encapsulates powerful lessons that have been tested in the real world. Every aspiring leader needs to read this book.

Atmospheric, creepy, and well animated. Excellent Hallowe'en fayre. Pwanchi doesn't need a back-story, the fact there's no reason to it is what adds to the chill-factor keep up the good work!
lol the mask of those kids great sound and the car plate bad-ass lol XD
Well worth the time to download.
The time you must have poured into this animation is obvious. The concept is original too. You transitioned nicely from being a silly story told by flashlight to bringing the horror to life. I think your real-life-like characters did a good job of putting the viewer behind their eyes.
realy nice!
very very well done. n not just because it gave me the creeps at some
sequences, but because this is ssrly the first title i encountered so far to be
sophisticated towards the effort to acutally feel like a "movie".
this again was backed up by a great musical concept, of which the audio
itself was well chosen.
altogether - great work, which delivers halloween spirit all the way through.
Not bad
That was some good stuff. I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
