Never really got into this series as much as others. Don't love, don't hate it. I might see it when it comes out in redbox for a $1.20, but I definitely won't be seeing it in the theater. Still, interesting to hear the view point of people who liked it. I watched Spoony's rant on it before this and....yeah...I've concluded that I just need to watch it and form my own opinion.
Probably the best course of action, really. =)
Yeah, I recommend doing that! As I said in the review, I watched the first three on DVD and it got me interested in seeing the 4th one in the theater at a midnight screening.
Um... I was talking to the boobs.
As were we all my friend...as were we all.
Umm...do you mean boobs as in idiots..or like the things that live on my chest?
Well that depends on what exactly lives on your chest. I know I'd quite like to.
I enjoyed this review, like I've enjoyed your other ones (which I only recently discovered). The theme music has a real '80s horror synth score feel and you guys are funny in a unique way. As for the Paranormal Activity part of the review, I thought you made a mistake Horror Guru in trying to mind-read people who don't like these movies and then getting angry at people for thinking these hypothetical negative thoughts you ascribed to them. For instance, I also hate all of the sequel series you named as getting away with repetition in contrast to Paranormal Activity, and I stopped watching all of those series years ago. (Am only finally going to watch my first Daniel Craig bond film soon because I heard Eva Green was in one and she turns me on.) As for Paranormal Activity, I saw the first movie and didn't like it. Granted, part of that was probably due to watching it at home alone and not in the theater with the people making with the "oh shit' reactions. For me the first one just didn't have much of interest going on. In horror movies I like films which explore the dark side of human psychology (such as "Peeping Tom" or "Psycho"), have a really bold visual asthetic (such as "Suspiria"), or make social commentary on interpersonal alienation ("Dawn of the Dead," "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," "The Thing"). The first "Paranormal Activity" film did not provide visual beauty (understandable somewhat on the budget), did not provide any stimulating exploration of interpersonal conflict (the characters are not memorable and the person who goes evil is not provided with any compelling psychological development to reach that state), the dialogue was shallow, and the storytelling was lacking (there were stretches of boredom). To me it seems like a movie can be frightening and tell more of a moving story than that movie did. That's why I didn't bother to see any of the sequels. Anyhow, still enjoy your series and look forward to more. The Queen of Trash seems like a neat person too.
Fair enough good sir, but I wasn't trying to mind-read people. I was arguing against the same tired points I have heard repeated over and over again. If you look below, for example, someone does defend the Friday and Nightmare sequels as being somehow better. =P
Well... have not seen as much as one single paranomarl activity movie. Afraid I am not really a fan of the modern horror genre, I am to big a fan of "story telling." to truly enjoy these kinds of movies, so well erh..But good sketch! and that was a really good twist, really first as I clicked on the video my thought. "Oh dear, here we go, another paranomarmal parody, it's been done dudes.. I like ya, but it's been done." and then you bring in an entirely new twist I have not seen any-where else before, and it was hillarious! Jack makes for the best sacrifical hobo ever! ... careful, a flie might fly into that mouth mate..
Yay! Glad you dug it! =)
Well, glad you didn't try to convince me to watch the movie. I sincerely doubt I would manage to see any of it... or maybe you can answer that? I got a minor form of epilipsy you see, I don't get seizures, not at all.. but when there are to many noises or sudden things happening, I simply zone out and go to black, so I just sit there having gone to black without seeing or registre a thing while my brain kick-starts itself and I get back to the real world.. only again, to many noises -zone to black- This is the kind of movie where I would just sit and starre out into nothingness for the entire thing isn't it?
That depends, what films in the past have caused this kind of reaction?
probably should surprise no one I barely managed to see cloverfield because of this problem.. seriously, had no idea what had happened in that movie as I walked out doing the credits. Oh and the baby being born scene in twilight.. even though I sat watching it on a small screen in my own appartment, I had to rewind it like three times because I kept missing the actual birth.
I think for the first film you'd probably be fine for the most part, but the sequels are a lot more chaotic and will probably be harder to watch in that case. But that's just my guess.
Katie Featherston is a scream queen? Wow, the standards have truly dropped. We went from Janet Leigh, Linnea Quigley, Kelli Maroney and Jamie Lee Curtis to someone with the onscreen personality of cardboard and a face like a mule. But at least Paranormal Activity taught us one thing: compelling situations and stories, camera placement, pacing and craftmanship can be lazily replaced just by setting a video camera on a bed for a 2 minute static shot and having a CGI shadow run across the screen about a minute and 50 seconds in.
Well I stand by my declaration of Scream Queendom. I also disagree that we've sacrificed good cinematography in the same year that The Woman and The Woman in Black are made. Yeah there are some movies hopping on the found footage bandwagon...but for the most part the bad ones haven't exactly been successful financially.
And well, don't forget to mention, most movie that hops on the "Found footage bandwagon." at this point is doing so because it's a low budget movie, and found footage is a tool allowing you to cheat and do "supernatural stuff." that other-wise would cost a fortune meaning no-one would ever be able to make it on amatour budget, and by shaking the camera up the audience wont notice that the puppet was hand-made with big orange stitches or some-thing like that. When trying to make a film.. you use the tools you have to try and make it look as legit as possible, and a tool handed to amatour film-makers every-where, is the found footage approach, simple as that.
This is a five million dollar movie, released by a major studio. They don't need to cheat. Besides shaky camera doesn't fool the audience, it annoys them. It also becomes an accepted practice that gives directors of big budget action films an excuse to "shake up the camera" so the actors don't have to learn fight choreography or the director doesn't have to explain how the main character specifically escaped a precarious situation. But that's okay, because this will separate the great directors from the hacks. Hacks like the two people it took to direct the home video called Paranormal Activity 4.
Yeah this series never really intrigued me. I am just sick of found footage moives, sure I remember being creeped the fuck out when I saw Blair Witch Project when I was 12, and there is a kind of appeal and edge to the concept since it gives a feeling of creepy reality to the proceedings, but its just been done so many times nowadays that I can't stand it. I can't personally critique the franchise since I have not seen any of the movies, but I will say that the whole conceit just feels boring. And its not the formula that bothers me, its just the gimmick itself. Plus its just one of those instances that I have heard so much about it that I am sick of it. I love you guys, and you make great points, and while I could be scared while watching any of these movies, I still will dislike it just for the gimmick that it supports. But that's just me personally.
Hey hope we still managed to entertain yah!
The audience I saw this movie with absolutely hated it! I remember thinking, "You guys suck SO hard!" Still, I think of this movie as a combination between the panache of the third one with the restraint of the first one! :-)
Oh man, hated it? Well I'm glad I haven't experienced that in any of my screenings. They've all been unanimously positive experiences. XD
If a horror movie needs gimmicks to scare the audience then it can't be a good film. Cat scares are cheap, they're just like a haunted house in some fair, or a friend causing a "boo-scare" when you're reading a book or something similar. I don't hate these films, that would be stupid, but I fail to see the relevance or the appeal. I Saw P.A. I and II and the second one already treaded the same ground. I don't see this as some internet backlash, these films are successful so people want to see them I get that. But for me the novelty wore thin really fast and if we want to be really fair, blair witch already did the found footage bit and did it better.
I do hate to disagree with you, but I thought Blair Witch sucked. There's a difference between slowly building up to something and making the audience scream, "Get on with it!"
Blair witch, i guess, succeeds or fails depending on whether or not you dive into the verisimilitude of the setting it presents. It plays with the post-scream - or post-modern - aproach to horror and urban myths. I found the ending to be a good payoff because it was such a primal representation of childhood fears coming true. But this is my experience with the film and I'm well aware it is a divise experience.
I agree with this, actually. I'm a pretty big fan of Blair Witch as well. Though, I would argue, the very same things could be said about the PA franchise. =)
Ah, I see what you did there. Well but it's the same thing for me regarding blair witch, if it had any sequels - and it didn't!! - they would inevitably follow the same formula. I know that it's cool to compare movies, choose the worst and best of a franchise, best deaths and so on, but I usually feel that what's added later on just diminishes the shock and awe of the first film. This is obviously not a rule of any kind, but just what I think of most horror franchises.
Fair enough, good sir. =)
"If a horror movie needs gimmicks to scare the audience then it can't be a good film."Every horror EVERYTHING has a gimmick. Show me one that doesn't, and I'll show you proof you need new glasses. Freddy has dreams and his glove, Jason and Myers have their masks, Frankenstein has the iconic makeup job. It's what makes them stand out and worth paying attention to in the first place. If a gimmick doesn't work for you, that's one thing. But you're wrong if you say that if a movie relies on gimmicks, it's automatically bad."Cat scares are cheap, they're just like a haunted house in some fair"Cat scares are cheap IF they aren't intended to make you laugh at how easily you jump at them, which Paranormal Activity does. As for the haunted house analogy..YES these movies are like haunted houses. We actually made that point in the review.
Shit happens in the Freddy, Jason and Michael movies. That's the point I wanted to make about Guru's comparison to James Bond and Friday the 13th being formulaic. Yes, but the "formula" of James Bond opening with impressive actions scenes can be Bond jumping out of a plane and fighting Jaws over a parachute at 20,000 feet or chasing a parkay athlete over rooftops, the slasher formula is Jason knocking a guys block off (literally) or Freddy changing a prissy teen into a roach. PA's formula for horror is watching someone's dad sit on a couch for two minutes, then he turns around because he thought he heard something in the kitchen, only to go upstairs to bed. The PA formula seems to be two scares per half hour, and only half of them are genuine "character in danger" scares.
Ok, I want to take the time to point out that it wasn't a "prissy teen" that got turned into a roach. It was Debbie, the the body builder chick who was afraid of bugs.
Point taken. But she was freaked out by a little bug. In her bag of potato chips...Okay point taken.
Every horror everything has a gimmick? So every horror film is full of jump scares? What about those that rely on atmosphere and a good...what's it called? Ah yes plot. I don't need new glasses thank you, but I guess you need to chill a bit, because you just seem to eager to defend this film. To me a gimmick is a trick that tries to hard to be successful in conveying the feelings or reactions of fear or horror; these can be achieved otherwise through good plot, good acting and a good script, without cranking the volume up to eleven and releasing the cat hidding in the pantry. But I'm not demanding that every horror film has to deliver a "perfect" gimmick-free experience, because horror is a broad genre that is also about the cheap thrills, the jump scares and the ludicrous amounts of gore. But to me in P.A. case - or in any other cash-in franchise, the novelty usually wears thin after film number two. It's my opinion and far from me to judge other people's enjoyement. You just have to accept that and move on.
It doesn't sound like I'm the one you're trying to convince here.
So here I am trying to have an honest discussion in a site that encourages it and you just decided to be condescendent. Fair enough, why bother with healthy debate when you can just spew some vague sentences that exude pretentiousness. I wonder what the weather is like up there on your high horse, but in reality I just don't care. There's too many interesting things and people on this site, for me to be bothered by someone as shallow and angry like you.
That was quite harsh, man. Jack may be an angry man, but I'd hardly call him shallow and I'm not entirely sure how you arrived at that conclusion. My apologies, however, if anything he or I have said has offended you. We assure you that wasn't our intent.As for the Paranormal Activity films - Look, if these films aren't for you that's fine and dandy. We dig 'em and I feel like we've already explained in great detail what their appeal and relevance are in the video above. If you still feel we haven't explained it in a way that you can understand or relate to, then I'm not sure what we could say to convince you. We'll just have to agree to disagree at that point. =PHope you still enjoy the videos and, once again, I apologize if any offense was made. =)
You see, if you read my first reply I was just trying to say that while I only liked the first P.A., I have no qualm with the series. Yes we disagree and that's fine, I was just showing that it is possible - and quite sane :) - to dislike a horror franchise without bashing it. I was addressing that specific point of the review, while explaining why I don't think these series are for me.I called your colleage shallow because he chose to be condescending in his second reply after his previous angry one. I was just surprised at his "agressiveness". the agony booth has come to be a pleasent place for movie debates and his reaction - while not insulting - was harsh. It rubbed me the wrong way, but I appreciate your peace offering, your effort to take things down a notch. Thank you for being civil and polite. I couldn't help myself to insulting your colleague and in doing so lost any reason I might have had. I accept your apologies and offer my own in return.Good day to you both.
Rock on, dude. It's all cool. =)
So this is the famous Queen of Trash. Hope to see more of her on the show (if you know what I mean)! *slap*Okay, I'll stop now.
Ohhhh yeaaahhh! ;)
Well you may get your wish in the near future.
I won't lie... I was looking at corner three after the end credits :-P
Oh you. :P
I can't help myself, guys! BTW good review though I don't expect anything less. :) I find I like horror films which mix the paranormal and people's paranoia (hence my love for the final destination films, which let's be honest has a formula that can suck if you don't give a crap like in Final Destination 4). I remember seeing PA 1 in theaters with some friends who wouldn't shut up about how the movie's kept them awake. Honestly, it hasn't left a big enough impact for me to go check out 2,3 and 4; but watching your review makes me give it another shot!
Rock on! Here's hopin' you dig 'em. If you don't, oh well. At least you gave it a shot. =P

"there are still some sane people in the world" Top 5 Page for this destination Utah Favorite Tip by richiecdisc
Utah Favorites: 106 reviews and 116 photos
Favorite thing: It's funny how a day can make all the difference. Just twenty-four hours earlier I scrambled around madly trying to get the perfect photo of The Delicate Arch. I wasn't the only one doing it. There were another hundred odd people there waiting for sunset. Some where just as hung up if not more so about getting the "perfect picture." Some might have been ignoring their friends, wives, or even kids in this all consuming passion. Of course, not everyone. There are still some sane people in the world. The rest of us, well, we can't help our mono-vision.
Fondest memory: If I wasn't married to the greatest girl on the planet none of this would make much difference. She had been camping all over the southwestern US with me for weeks, often forgoing showers for more days than is acceptable by even me. She'd done this hike in our "uniform" as she'd become fond of referring to our desert whites despite it not being really necessary late in the day and for such a short walk. She sat there alone, not complaining, despite most other people being far cleaner and fashionably dressed. I was off taking photos, oblivious to what anyone was wearing, including myself. I had been wearing the same thing for weeks and often went days without seeing a mirror. To be honest, none of these trivial things would have mattered if I'd just been by her side for more than a fleeting moment here and there. Even after half of the arch was covered in shade I shot the top of the arch as it glowed a frame around a distant snowy peak.
Now, things were entirely different. Not only was I at her side like a good attentive husband, we were freshly clean and at least she was dressed a lot more nicely. She looked amazing but she looked great the day before too to me. I had taken some photos earlier but just a few. This time I knew when to stop. You know when the color peaks, you can see it. And I stopped and enjoyed a special moment watching The Delicate Arch with my wife. Don't you know it, the best shot I got from both night's shooting was from the second night. The best wife? She was with me both nights and I was finally smart enough to be with her too.

Rez Kidz 2016 is completely sold out! We've hit capacity in the venue and no more tickets are available. But, keep in touch with us on Facebook for information about Rez Kidz 2017.
Our Mission
Our mission is based on Deuteronomy 6:5-7: "And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up." (NLT)
Not only must we love God with all our heart, but we must consistently teach our children about the Love of Christ and make it a priority to be in constant conversation about the gospel message. Our mission is to equip families with the tools they can use to strengthen their faith together.
At Rez Kidz, we dream of parents and their children committing together to make their faith a priority. We dream of boys and girls who light up with excitement when they walk through the door and leave in wonder about a King who loves them. We dream of families committing themselves wholeheartedly to the commands of the Lord. We dream of watching the gospel message change lives, one family at a time.
That is our mission: to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to encourage, equip, and build-up families as we glorify our Savior.

Hello Everyone
This question is for everyone who is in constant touch with the computer market. We have seen that hard disk prices have risen sharply since 'the past few months. But is the same true for other computer peripherals too especially processors like intel core i3 and i5 processors?
I do not track the prices, but this time I want to buy a new computer (i.e. get it assembled) and I was wondering if it is worth waiting if the prices are expected to go down again. And if the price hike is only for hard-disk then I can manage by attaching my existing hard disk to the new computer and purchase the hard disk later.
Thanks in advance.

Wanted to downsize and de-clutter my home theater system and I have used Yamaha receivers in the past so I knew this would be a quality product. Sounds great, looks great and HDMI set-up super easy.
Pros: Clean sound, looks great,ease of use.
Cons: The remote control is a bit on the cheap for the price for the soundbar they could of made a better remote, backlit, better buttons, etc. Expensive for a soundbar but considering a full home theater system and cabling this product is a great value

Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir voted on Sunday in the first multi-party polls of his two-decade rule, but the election was marred by an opposition boycott, fraud allegations and logistical problems.
Beshir, wearing a traditional white robe and turban, raised his index finger to show the voting ink and shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) after casting his ballot at the St. Francis school in central Khartoum.
Polling stations opened for the three-day vote on schedule in Khartoum at 08:00 (0500 GMT) but election organisers in several areas were still unwrapping ballot boxes as the queues began to form, an AFP correspondent said.
Streets of the capital however were quiet as witnesses reported a slow start to the polls, in which Sudanese are to choose their president as well as local and legislative representatives. Profile: Omar al-Beshir
Southerners are also voting for the leader of the semi-autonomous government of south Sudan.
Some women waited around in classrooms of a school in Khartoum until logistical problems were resolved.
"I am frustrated. I arrived a little before 08:00 thinking that everything would be ready but that is not the case" Safaa, a 24-year-old who came to vote with her mother, told AFP.
"This is also the first time I am voting. The last election, in 1986, I was out of the country," said her mother Siham, dressed in traditional "thobe", a long colourful fabric that drapes around the body.
Former US president Jimmy Carter, whose Carter Centre is monitoring the vote, said that despite the snags, voting was proceeding smoothly.
"I believe the national election commission has done a good job although there might be some slow delivery of material but they have three days to correct that," he told reporters.
In the southern capital of Juba, southern leader Salva Kiir, who said he was casting his ballot for the first time in his life, told reporters he hoped the elections would lead to the "formation of a democratic process in south Sudan." Related article: Low tech to the fore in Sudan campaigning
The leader of the former southern rebel Sudan People's Liberation Movement is running against former foreign minister Lam Akol for the leadership of the semi-autonomous government of south Sudan.
More than 16 million registered voters are asked to vote in over 10,700 polling stations for their president as well as legislative and local representatives. Southern Sudanese will also vote for the leader of the south.
Beshir, who has ruled Africa's largest country since 1989 when he came to power in a military coup backed by Islamists, is expected to secure a comfortable win after the pullout of his key challengers.
Yasser Arman, a northern Muslim representing the SPLM, and former prime minister Sadiq al-Mahdi of the Umma Party both withdrew from the race before polling day.
They accuse Beshir of fraud and say free and fair conditions for the elections are not in place, particularly in Darfur, the western region under a state of emergency since civil war broke out seven years ago.
Darfur rebel movements, who control parts of the vast region, firmly rejected the elections but have so far not stated any intentions to derail the process.
While the result of the presidential poll holds little suspense, elections for parliamentary and local representatives are still fiercely competitive in many parts of the country.
Election organisers rushed on Saturday to get ballot papers to remoter parts of the country. Related article: Sudan female candidate tells women 'yes they can'
Sixteen airplanes, 16 helicopters and more than 2,000 vehicles have been mobilised in the past two weeks to transport ballot boxes around the country.
In the run-up to the elections, opposition parties accused Beshir's ruling National Congress of fraud, particularly when the contract for ballot papers was given to a state-owned printer arousing suspicions of potential ballot stuffing.
More than 100,000 police officers will be on duty over the election period, a security official said, as embassies in Khartoum advised their nationals to adopt "precautionary measures" such as stocking up on food and fuel.

Clamor over potholes floods engineer's office with calls
Jeff DeChellis doesn't just see the potholes on Lyon Boulevard.
He hears them, too.
"We'll hear cars flying down the road, and it sounds like pieces of their car are flying off," said DeChellis, who has lived on Lyon for two years.
DeChellis, walking his dog, Bella, on a sidewalk parallel to Lyon, said the only time the road has been smooth this winter was when 6 inches of snow packed into the potholes.
Residents on Lyon live in Poland Township, send their children to Struthers public schools and call Mahoning County with road problems.
And they've been calling, said Marilyn Kenner, county chief deputy engineer.
"We've gotten lots of complaints," she said. "... Our office is looking to try to do something to make the road better without having to tear out the whole road and rebuild it from scratch, in an effort to save funds."
The alternatives would include milling off the asphalt and putting a concrete epoxy on the concrete slabs, or the county could put fabric down and add asphalt on the road, she said.
Although Kenner did not have an exact estimate, she said the project would cost at least $250,000 and start this summer.
With either of those options, cracking would occur, "but at least it will hold the road over for five to eight years until the county gets enough money to" completely overhaul the road, she said.
In 2002, the county put an asphalt overlay on Lyon.
Another county road drawing the ire of residents is Walker Mill, which is in Boardman Township.
"It's worse right now," said Bob Johnston, a 26-year resident of Walker Mill.
He said the county "cold-patched [potholes] about three weeks ago, but it's all blown out now."
The cold patch is only a temporary solution, Kenner said.
"With the freeze and thaw, it tends to roll out of the pothole. It also falls apart faster than hot patch," she said.
Hot-mix asphalt becomes available April 15, she added.
This year, Walker Mill is scheduled to have patching, not repaving, Kenner said.
Johnston said it's been repaved a couple of times since he's lived there.
"I'd like to see it repaved entirely now," he said.
Kenner asked for residents' patience as the weather continues to go through a freeze-thaw cycle.
"Our goal is to patch every road and fill all potholes, but it will take time," Kenner said.
The problem is 90% of the engineer's budget is used to pay the high wages and plush benefits for the public employees in the engineer's office instead of fixing the roads. This kind of spending just can't continue. SB5 goes a long way to fixing the problem. That's why I am supporting it.
Those suburbanites in Poland are so whiney. Based on the photograph the asphalt is about 2 inches thick above the mesh and that is the depth of the pot hole. In Youngstown city limits we have to live with some potholes that are 8" to 10" deep; in some places the potholes have grown so large that they join together to form chasms in the roadway 3 to 4 feet long. We also have streets that have been repaved so many times that a curb that used to be 6" to 8" high is reduced to 1" or less in some spots. Check out Oakwood Ave. on the West side from Meridian Rd. to Belle Vista Ave.
Where is the DOUBLE DIPPING County Engineer?
It is so sad that the County residents, the county voters would even reconsider this "poor excuse for an elected official" to remain in this position.
MARSICO is a DINOSAUR, cannot even speak on behalf of his own office that he has had for 15+ years now.
MARSICO "double dips" at around $170, 000 per year.
We cannot allow HER to keep talking in circles while HE gives out RAISES and gets nothing done.
SALARY & BENEFITS instead of PAVING our roads. You are correct FALCONEDDY, this should be a jailable offense!
NO tax money to kix the roads we are broke . Just call the Gov. and tell him
Yea Freeatlast, that tax money must go to the support the over-compensated in the Engineer's department. Keep whining about SB5.
Man, I drove to Youngstown on Glenwood Ave last week. Boy, that road is garbage! Especially between Fosters and downtown. There truly were parts where I just drove in the middle, turn-only lane. Many others did as well.
Unionforever...The last raises that were given were for office people not the people on the street. WKBN had the Union Presidnet on and he said they still have workers laid off. Don't give the raises and bring back the people who do the work.
Clingan road has pot holes that can swallow a small car. Poland is not whining they are in bad shape too. I have to go through there every day.
March = pothole season
May-Rest of year = construction season
July = heat season
Spring = pollen season
Always something to complain about! ;)
What about Wilcox and Fairview Roads? About 6 years ago, the roads were in need of a mill-and-fill. The County came in and poured asphalt down over the existing, hole-riddled surface and ran out of asphalt before the covering could even be completed. Thus, the roads was left for the past 6 years with a large section of the left sides of each lane uncovered and uneven, while the sides have an extra 1/2" layer of asphalt. Regardless, 6 years of deterioration on the road as a whole are visible and felt by every driver.
Every year they come out and cold patch the holes, which lasts all of about 2 days. Today, the road is so badly deteriorated that there are areas in which the holes comprise more of the road surface than actual asphalt. Do they not realize that part of this road is used by heavy semi-trucks entering and leaving Walmart every day? That's a lot of heavy truck traffic and the road needs a base that can sustain that type of use.
It's time to do it right. Strip it down to the sub-base and properly surface the two roads. The citizens of Mahoning County have been waiting for their tax dollars to be used to fill the holes of something other than Mr. Marsico's pockets.
I usually stop by the Engineer's office tent at the Canfield Fair. I spoke with Mr. Marsico and several other engineers over the years. Most of them have no clue about what is going on with county roads. The year that the county was involved in the Firefighters' Memorial Bridge (the "Peanut Bridge") rehab, Mr. Marsico told me himself that the reason it was being painted black (it was being painted red) was because it reduces the effects of weathering and deterioration. Really? I'm just beside myself and I wish somebody would run for that office. Anybody. It is truly disheartening to me that we cannot find a better person in Mahoning County to begin fixing a severely broken, and likely corrupt, engineers office.
If in summer they would go around sealing the all the cracks in the road before winter we wouldnt have pot holes like crazy to fix.
Traveler: The extent of cold temperatures, combined with repeated and excessive alternations of rain and snow have contributed to the current condition of the roads that we see now. Crack sealing would have potentially helped a bit, but ultimately it isn't a cure-all. I understand that the county is faced with a difficult situation after a very rough winter weather season. After all, I've seen state routes and local township and city roads in bad condition too. I don't expect them to be able to fix everything now. It is too early in the season for them to really start. What concerns me is that year-after-year, the county neglects some of the most deteriorated roads and when they actually do give them attention they waste tax dollars on poor fixes that they know are temporary like cold patch and that horrible half-surface of New Rd. You can't cut out half of lanes and replace them like that. As is now visible, the newly replaced sections as well as the ignored areas of New Rd between SR46 and Turner Road are awful. It was a complete waste of money that only aided (didn't completely fix) the condition of New Rd in the first place.
Turner Road is next. Between Mahoning Avenue and Fairview there are holes in the northbound lane big enough to swallow up cars and they've persisted for days. Those actually do need some cold patch to hold them over, but I hope and pray that they resurface that 1.5 mile stretch as it will desperately need it. If they don't the damage that will occur through next winter will be so severe that the road (like other county roads currently) will be impassable.
Most of the problems with the roads listed are due to poor shoulders and base that came about years ago when roads were widened. Look at any road that has numerous potholes along the edge and you can usually see the joint where the widening took place. The pounding of the vehicle wheels on the edge causes a depression that prevents runoff into the side dithces. The water collects, sinks in through cracks, freezes, heaves, and is shaved off by plows. The cycle continues. Most of these roads need the edges excavated, compacted, new base material under the pavement, extended out into the shoulders, with complete ditch repair. But, the engineer's dept. proposes to do this to the worst area of Western Reserve Rd. and the public b!tches about it. You can't have it both ways.

Idrive attractions?
We'll probably be onsite next visit, is it worth a trip to idrive? What is there to look at? Is it the type of place that we could spend a whole day at ??
I Drive is a fairly long stretch of road. It has shops, restaurants and attractions. There is a trolley that can take you along it as well (for a nominal fee). I would strongly recommend you be wary of some of the shops, particularly those selling electronics.
There is an huge outlet mall at the "end" of I Drive, and any number of other shops before you get there (in that same general area). Also, there is a small mall, Festival Bay too. It has a couple of decent places to eat, but no real reason to stop there otherwise.
A whole day? Hmmmmmm, maybe. Half a day, for sure. If you do any of the attractions along the Drive, you could spend a whole day, I suppose.
Some wonderful places to eat. Two of the better ones along there are Texas de Brasil, and Ran Gitsu. :yes:
Wonderworks is on I. Drive......alo Ripleys Believe it or not. SkyVenture too where you can 'skydive' in a wind tunnel. There is a slingshot if you would like to revisit your lunch.
There is also Air Florida where you can charter a helicopter for a short while and they take you over different areas of I.Drive so you can see SW and DC...others take you near WDW (but not over)
There is Fun Spot where you can have fun on the go karts....also arcade games.
Pirates Cove adventure golf and of course Wet 'n' Wild.
There is a cinema too.

Jennifer Garner's heel fearJennifer Garner would rather jump of a building than run in high heels.
Jennifer - who starred in cult spy TV show 'Alias' and plays the lead in new action thriller 'The Kingdom' - is more comfortable carrying out dangerous stunts than walking down the red carpet in heels.
Jennifer said: "It was easy to slip back into carrying a gun. I'll still jump off a building if I have all the wires and my stunt double tests it and tells me it's OK.
"Jumping off a building is a lot less scary than running down stairs in high heels or walking down the red carpet with everyone watching. I always feel sure I'm going to fall. I am kind of awkward."
The 34-year-old tripped on the hem of her dress at the Oscars this year when presenting an award, but excused her faux par by joking, "I do all my own stunts".

Kompany was controversially sent off in last week's win at Arsenal for a challenge on Jack Wilshere.
The decision of referee Mike Dean to dismiss him was widely criticised and overturned after a successful appeal by City but, although Kompany was not in the wrong, Mancini feels he should temper his approach.
The 26-year-old was also dismissed for a similar challenge in a game against Manchester United last season and the City boss does not want to keep losing his skipper.
Mancini said: "He's a defender. Sometimes when the defender is under pressure he can do a bad tackle but I think he needs to pay more attention, because this has happened two times.
"We can have a problem if we have another situation like this. I spoke with Vinny and told him to have more attention on his tackles."
Mancini does not personally have a problem with Kompany's technique or necessarily think it needs changing but, as the player did lunge towards Wilshere, he fears how referees might judge certain tackles.
Asked if he feared Kompany would lose his enthusiasm for tackling as a result of his request, Mancini said: "No, no, I don't think this but there are some situations that he can go, because like against Arsenal sometimes the referee can do a mistake, like the players.
"It is possible, like against Arsenal, the referee sees a different view from us and Vinny. Every tackle can be dangerous, it depends on the situation but this is football.
"I told him to pay attention and that it is better you don't go sometimes. You wait and don't do a tackle - it is better. I think probably he won't change his style but if he has more attention in some situations it is better."

Founded as a trading post of the English East India Company during the expansionist phase of British mercantile capitalism at the beginning of the nineteenth century (1819), Singapore has always been a planned city. Its land-use pattern had historically concentrated on developing trading and port facilities. The trading economy had by the late 1950s resulted in high rates of unemployment and underemployment. The immediate task of the newly elected government—initially charged exclusively with management of domestic affairs in 1959 and subsequently as a fully independent government in 1965—was to industrialize. The colonial land-use pattern had to be reordered to accommodate the projected needs of an industrial economy and a rapidly growing population. The entire island had to be brought into the planning process, and spatial allocation for all the activities, including public housing, that are essential to a 'nation' had to be rationalized. For a sense of where and how the public housing programme fits into the comprehensive concept plan of the island as a 'nation', this chapter will briefly chart the planned transformation of the island.
Singapore was a location for the exchange of merchandise from Europe, India and China, and a market for the produce of the Malayan Archipelago, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia (Wong, 1961:160). The early entrepot trade (Chiang, 1963) of colonial Singapore spawned a sophisticated merchant community with the requisite banking and finance facilities and a high level of entrepreneurial skill. This was reflected in the eightfold expansion of trade between 1824 and 1872. By

Where can I get this metallic rear derailleur cable housing?
As seen in this Masi pic from ebay:
Where can I get this metallic rear derailleur cable housing?
As seen in this Masi pic from ebay:
Off of a bike made in the 70's.
I've seen it on ebay. A search for "stainless derailleur cable" or "stainless brake cable" will find you some there.
I assume that the stuff you'll find is coiled housing meant for friction shifting. In case someone reads this and wonders if this sort of housing exists for indexed shifting, the answer is, I don't know the answer. I guess it would have to be linear-wired housing with a second spiral-coil layer wrapped around it. I know I'm answering a question no one asked, but I'm wondering as I write this if there is such a thing. It would be heavier than most of us nerds would want, I suppose.
1993 Cannondale T700 - 1994 Specialized Rockhopper - Actionbent T1 (Electrification in progress!)
Been searching for the same thing and only found them in Ebay.....for way too much (at least the Campy ones I found at $25 bucks with cables).
Been searching in older Bike shops in the area, but they seem to be all out of it, except for a couple who thought they had one in the shop owner's junk drawers at home...never heard back from those guys about it..... Sure looks cool on a classic bike, specially if you have a nice derailleur to show off. I'll check out the other sources posted on this thread!
I'm curious as to what difference it would make whether the application was friction shifting versus index? The Campy stuff I linked to does have a nylon liner (IIRC, haven't had mine apart for awhile). It isn't flimsy.
It will NOT work for indexed shifting.
The picture isn't of "housing" in the normal sense—there's no plastic outer and there's no lining. The housing pictured is literally just a tight stainless steel spring with ferrules at either end. When you take the cable out and pop it out of the cable stops, it springs back into its original state (straight spring).
I can't imagine that this works out to be a better (or even "as good") solution as modern housing—the biggest problem would be riding in weather, since when the spring bends, the tiny gaps between loops open which might spell rust if you didn't grease your cables—but it sure does look nice and I can appreciate the elegant simplicity of it. My Pro Tour came with one and I'm planning on leaving it on.

One justification for that non-covered steel braid housing is that it actually allows water to escape, rather than get trapped as would happen with conventional housing. I can say that I've seen many a rusted out bit of conventional housing at that junction, but I've never seen the wire braid stuff have a rust problem.
I have about 25 feet of the stuff, only it's Suntour and not Campy (which is slightly larger diameter). I posted awhile back offering it at cost, and had only a couple takers. Neither one is lined, I know this for a fact. Some folks have used it as the front housing for barcon shifters, too.
I tried to fit the liner from some Jagwire housing into the Suntour housing, but there's no way that's gonna happen! Might be OK for the Campy, but my only section is on a bike, and I'm not removing it just to try; I believe JohnDThompson.

A bike I got had the Suntour stuff for the Barcon shift cables. I didn't like the way that the front sections scraped up the paint on the headtube, so I replaced those sections with plastic stuff. I kept the spiral stuff for the sections leading to the derailers. There was actually less friction than with plastic housings of the same length. Go figure!
Would you still happen to offer these housing? Thanks!
Anyone still have any of this housing available? I need some for 3 bikes.

I'll chime in:
Bought some from this guy a few months back. He'll probably re-list soon or just contact him. Lot cheaper than most you see on eBay.

Thanks for the answers. The Orange stuff is good as a modern vintage look, but the weave just doesn't look quite right for an authentic build.
Having used Spagetti Leg's ebay link I have found this in the UK, but also some cheaper in the US (just need to work out the postage penalty).

Press Tour: 'Orphan Black' to feature 'tough decisions' in season 2
Plus, the first scene of the new season is screened
Hey Clone Club, the first second-season scene of "Orphan Black" was shown at press tour, and I think it's safe to say that the pressure is not letting up on Sarah and the rest of the clones as their story continues. First, a recap of the scene, then we'll get into what Tatiana Maslany, Jordan Gavaris and co-creator Graeme Manson had to say (and after press tour, I'll be writing up my own one-on-one interviews with Manson and Gavaris, which hint at some big picture shifts ahead). Hold on to your hats. It's gonna be a bumpy ride when the show returns Sat. April 19 at 9:00 p.m. on BBC America.
Interestingly, a BBC America executive made a point of referring to Kira's disappearance as an "apparent kidnapping." As we know, we're still not sure what's really going on with Mrs. S., but we do know she's coming back to the show. But everything else is, like so much on "Orphan Black," an enticing question mark.
[This is a recap of the first scene of season two. If you don't want to know, just skip ahead to the next bracketed section in bold]
Then, after a montage of greatest hits from season one, we launch into the new scene. We see Sarah, having just discovered Kira and Mrs. S missing, running down the street in the rain, then pulling out her phone to call one of her many lifelines. Felix isn't home, so she leaves a message telling him that "they took Kira and Mrs. S." Next she walks into an empty diner, where the guy behind the counter offers her coffee (she requests tea instead). It should be a moment of solace, but no dice. As she tries to reach Alison, the man behind the counter gives her her tea, tells her it's on the house, and hands her a beaten-up, old photo of what might be Mrs. S. (though that's just a guess) and a man, both in lab coats. On the back, it says Project Leda, 1977.
Sarah calls Paul, but Rachel answers the phone. She suggests Sarah "simply surrender herself," then hangs up on Sarah as she yells at her. We see Rachel standing in her office with Paul next to her, looking defeated.
If all of that's not enough for Sarah to worry about, two creepy guys walk into the diner (one with a massive belt buckle that I'm pretty sure we should remember) and start asking about free range eggs. When the diner owner says he just has regular eggs, they smirk. "Your chickens have been interfered with," one growls. "They're not normal."
They go to Sarah's booth, and when she tries to draw her gun, the larger man takes it off of her. The men are about to lead Sarah away when the man behind the counter draws a rifle. "You sure, Sarah?" the belt buckled man asks. "We've come here to take you to Kira." As Sarah thinks this over, he shoots the diner owner. Fatally wounded, he lands a lethal shot on the other man. In the ensuing chaos, Sarah runs, and we're left with a barrage of images from, I'm guessing, other parts of the season -- including one in which Rachel purrs to Paul, "You're the only one who seems to know what makes Sarah tick." Yes, indeed.
There was a lot to digest in this scene, but clearly the Big Bad has two new foot soldiers (well, one, as I don't think the tall guy is coming back) and the diner owner suggests there are those looking out for the clones we haven't met yet (unless he's just the unluckiest guy in the world). I'm also a little worried about Rachel's focus on Paul as the most effective tool to control Sarah. And let's not get started about all of the disconnected numbers Sarah tried to call...
[End of recap and back to panel]
But back to the panel. The show is midway through filming the season, but Maslany was able to take a quick break from filming for the Golden Globes tomorrow night (Gavaris must head back to Canada tomorrow morning to shoot scenes in her stead). The nominee addressed a question about how her process in creating so many characters has changed in the second season. "It was daunting to come back to it… because I knew how much work it was going to be. At the same time, there's not this pressure of, will this work or will people buy it. So it's time to go deeper with it. I love all these characters so much and Graeme and all the writers have continued to deepen it, that to me was what was so exciting. It's just about going deeper with it, challenging and stretching it. We left them all at very tense places, so there was so much to work with. The challenge of it continues every day and keeps me absolutely obsessed with the show and the job."
On a lighter note, a journalist asked about the porno found in the stash of Alison's husband - "Big Boob Blowies." "I must give credit where it's due," Manson said. "I believe that was Alex Levine's title. And it really works with big slaps," he said, swooping a hand back and forth to demonstrate. "Big, boob, blowies."

A Grandmother's Other Role: Midwife
Graciela Kavulla grew up in Texas near her grandmother, Adelaida. Graciela remembers her grandmother being determined to become a midwife — a vital role in her community.
"She was 44 when she started delivering babies," Graciela said. "Before they would see a doctor, the families in the community would come see her."
Graciela recalls that at any hour of the day or night, an urgent knock on the door would bring Adelaida away from her family. Brought out of her bed on some nights, she would quickly change clothes and rush out to help — turning down the coffee her husband would try to make for her.
"Take care of the child," she would tell him. "You will see me when you see me."
It wasn't until Graciela got older that she understood how difficult it had been for her grandmother to become so important in their community. A doctor in McCoy, Texas, had given her some medical books, but there was one problem: She couldn't read.
Adelaida was in the kitchen cooking, and Graciela's grandfather was at the table, reading to her. He was reading a medical book aloud — and Adelaida had to ask him to slow down and repeat what he'd just said.
"And that's when it first occurred to me — she has learned to deliver babies just by what he has read to her," Graciela said.
From that education, a woman who had never attended school worked for more than 30 years delivering babies.
"She was so brave and so strong," Graciela said. "It has felt very powerful to me that she wanted to do this — and nothing was going to stop her."

Tour was great. Guide and driver did an excellent job. It was worth the money.
Has a wonderful time with friendly, efficient and knowledgeable guide. Couldnt have asked for more.
brilliant day, well worth the money.
Our tour guide did a fantastic job taking us around and letting us stop for photos anywhere we wanted along the ride.
I highly recommend this for a taste of the Cape Peninsula!
Absolute fantastic tour - nothing else needs to be said.
Rodney blumberg was fabulous guide with extensive knowledge
We were picked up from our hotel by minibus efficiently, the tour was a really great way to see the Cape Penisula! A busy day but highly recommended, we didn't take the optional boat tour but browsed the selection of street sellers stalls in Hout Bay, then onto the Cape of Good Hope, a great lunch and walk up to the lighthouse. Then Simon's Town and the African penguins! And then a quick taste of the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. A really great day and way of seeing more than Cape Town.
Just returned from a terrific day in the very capable hands of a great guide, Peter. Always such a pleasure to be shown the sights by a knowledgeable and pleasant local. A very busy Sunday in the high season called for a little imagination and flexibility and Peter made it all seem effortless. The best, and most relaxed, way to enjoy this beautiful part of South Africa.
Our guide Mr. "Super" was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and quite accommodating. We appreciated the hospitality that he showed us on our tour of Cape Point and the other visits. This is my second time that Super has conducted the tour with me and I will request him again in the future.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Scott

Absolutely fantastic day out! One of the highlights of my whole holiday. I don't see how this could be done as a half day tour, there was just so much to see. The penguins were incredible! I highly recommend this day trip to anyone visiting Cape Town, it was great value for money!
Definitely worth doing, amazing views. And ending at the botanical gardens is simply superb.
The tour guide is amazing.
Excellent, well organised tour.
Knowledgeable, friendly tour guide

Photos: Giffords husband Mark Kelly: 'Little we can do but pray'
Husband of Gabrielle Giffords, Mark Kelly, an astronaut, gave out his first statement on Sunday, one day after Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with her constituents outside a Tucson, Ariz., supermarket. In the mass shooting, six people were killed and 14 were wounded.
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, the news of the shooting has everyone horrified. Kate Jamieson, a San Francisco resident says, "I believe the suspect, Jared Loughner, will appear in federal court in Phoenix today, Monday. I think it's terrible what he did."
San Francisco residents held a vigil last night at the Castro and Market Streets around 7pm.
The small group wanted to remember those who were killed and protest against the violence that took place when Giffords, the Arizona representative, was shot. Police have found evidence in Jared Loughner's home that showed he deliberately targeted Giffords. Heartbroken over his wife's shooting, Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly issued the following statement to press on Sunday night:
"On behalf of Gabby and our entire family, I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the people of Arizona and this great nation for their unbelievable outpouring of support. Gabby was doing what she loved most — hearing from her constituents — when this tragedy occurred. Serving Southern Arizonans is her passion, and nothing makes her more proud than representing them in Congress.
"Like all Americans, we mourn the loss of Judge John M. Roll, Christina Taylor Green (age 9), Dorothy Morris, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard and Gabe Zimmerman, a fine man and beloved member of Gabby's team. We must never forget them, and our prayers are with their families. Our hearts go out to everyone injured yesterday; we hope and pray for their quick recovery.
"We also extend our thanks and appreciation to all of the first responders, medical personnel, law enforcement, and Arizona citizens who acted swiftly on Saturday and continue to assist our community through this tragedy. Many stories of heroism are emerging, and they are a source of strength for us during this difficult time. We are forever grateful.
"Many of you have offered help. There is little that we can do but pray for those who are struggling. If you are inspired to make a positive gesture, consider two organizations that Gabby has long valued and supported: Tucson's Community Food Bank and the American Red Cross.
"Community Food Bank
3003 S Country Club Rd # 221
Tucson, AZ 85713-4084 (520) 622-0525
"American Red Cross,
Southern Arizona Chapter
2916 East Broadway Boulevard
Tucson, AZ 85716 (520) 318-6740"
The above statement is in its entirety from the husband of Congresswoman Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords, NASA Astronaut Mark Kelly.
Jared Loughner, the shooter, was described by his classmate as "mentally unstable." See that story here
