What's up with scary movies?
Is it the sight of a manic Jack Nicholson wielding an axe in The Shining, Linda Blair's head spinning around in The Exorcist, or that infamous shower scene in Psycho? Which horror movie gives you the biggest fright?

Some people detest scary movies and avoid them like the plague.
The rest of us relish the delicious chills and shocks they deliver.
But which would get your vote as the most frightening film of all time?
It seems that timing is crucial, with horror movies that we watch during our childhood or early teens having such an impact we remember those scares for a lifetime.
For me, that moment came in the mid-seventies with the film of Stephen King's cult novel, Carrie, which was already being surreptitiously passed around our Year 7 classes.
My best friend and I travelled into Newcastle by bus for a night-time showing and were so unsettled, particularly by the shocking final scene when a hand shoots from a grave, we were nervous wrecks on our way home.
Strolling along a dark Hunter St, past the always rowdy Star Hotel, a shopkeeper slamming down a roller-door caused us to shriek so loudly we probably gave him an even bigger fright!
Ask anyone and the scary movie that really sticks in their mind is usually the one they saw as a teen.
Another that made its mark on me at around the same time was Suspiria, by Italian horror maestro Dario Argento.
Set in a spooky German ballet school, which turns out to be home to a witches' coven, it features some particularly gruesome scenes involving maggots, and is now considered a cult classic.
But as an adult, the horror movie that really affected me was another adaptation of a Stephen King novel, The Shining.
King reputedly loathed Kubrick's version, but seeing it at a rundown suburban cinema (especially going to the bathroom at interval to find the lights had blown!) was enough to give me nightmares about axe-wielding killers for weeks.
I think the creepiest scene in the whole film is when the terrorised wife has finally succeeded in locking the unhinged Jack in a coolroom.
As the lock slides open by itself, you realise much darker forces are at work than simply insanity brought on by isolation.
Classics like The Shining seem to retain their scare factor over the decades, despite advances in visual effects and CGI.
Roman Polanski's ground-breaking 1968 film, Rosemary's Baby, 1973's The Exorcist and The Omen from 1976 never seem to lose their edge.
The same can't be said for Hitchock's Psycho, unfortunately.
At the time, the killing off of the lead character so early in the movie during the iconic shower scene had audiences in shock.
But the scene, while meticulously shot, suggests rather than reveals the violence.
And audiences who grew up on splatter franchises such as Halloween, Friday the 13th and Scream, will probably be left wondering what all the fuss is about.
Such franchises, which also include the Nightmare on Elm St and Final Destination series, follow a highly predictable formula that usually involves attractive teens in skimpy outfits being slaughtered in increasingly gruesome ways.
In recent years, the Australian-produced Saw series took the torture/gore factor to even more extreme levels.
However, you don't need lots of blood and guts or a big budget to make a truly terrifying movie.
The use of video and "found footage" style has opened the door for films such as the Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, made on a shoestring with no special effects or famous actors, to become smash hits.
Old-fashioned ghost stories have been given an original makeover by imaginative Asian film-makers, who have had audiences around the world flocking to the likes of The Ring, The Grudge, The Eye and Dark Water.
American remakes just don't seem to be able to recreate the eerie feel of the originals.
Australian film-makers are also making their mark in the horror genre, with one of those behind Saw, James Wan, producing one of the surprise hits of this year with the haunted-house tale, The Conjuring.
Like previous horror hits such as The Exorcist and The Amityville Horror, its claim of being based on a true story lends an extra menace.
Such is the case with the Australian-made Wolf Creek, with its unmistakeable parallels to the serial killings of Ivan Milat. The sequel has just received an enthusiastic response at the Venice Film Festival.
Our fascination with terror being unleashed on us in a darkened cinema shows no sign of waning, and good-quality horror movies still pull in the crowds like nothing else.
So what then, is the ultimate horror film, the one that stands out above all others?
Many would name the movie that is one of the highest-grossing of all time, created shock waves on its release, received 10 Oscar nominations and was the first horror film to be nominated as Best Picture...The Exorcist.

text: UK 3 November 2010 Lib Dem MPs have a duty to vote against higher fees Rebellion grows as Michael Gove announces new cap of £9,000 on tuition fees. Print HTML Michael Gove's announcement that university tuition fees will be capped at £9,000 – £2,000 higher than originally suggested by Vince Cable – spares us the unlimited market proposed by the Browne review. But this still represents a significant increase from the current limit of £3,290 and Lib Dem backbenchers, all of whom (including, as shown, Nick Clegg) pledged to vote against any rise in fees, are understandably concerned. In what looks like a damage-limitation exercise by the coalition, Gove announced the increase on the Today programme this morning and David Willetts will make a Commons statement at 12.30pm. Cable, who is officially responsible for universities policy, is nowhere to be seen. The coalition agreement allows the Lib Dems to abstain from any vote, but many, particularly those who represent university seats, are determined to honour their pledge. The latest rebel is Jenny Willott, MP for Cardiff Central and PPS to Chris Huhne. She said: "I will not support an increase in tuition fees and I'm deeply concerned about increasing levels of student debt." Should she stick to her pledge to vote against any increase in fees, she will be required to resign or be sacked as a PPS. Other rebels include the party grandees Ming Campbell and Charles Kennedy, Greg Mulholland, MP for Leeds North-West, Julian Huppert, MP for Cambridge, Stephen Williams, MP for Bristol West, and (of course) Bob Russell. In total, as many as 20 of the party's 37 backbenchers are expected to vote against the government. The coalition isn't heading for a Commons defeat – that would require at least a dozen Tory MPs to join the rebellion – but it is facing the biggest rebellion of this parliament. Lib Dem MPs should not be bought off by talk of the government "widening access". Nor should the argument that the "situation has changed" since May persuade anyone. The Budget deficit was larger, not smaller, at the time of the election. The Lib Dems have a moral duty to vote against higher tuition fees. › The Sunday Times takes a fresh approach to election-night tweeting George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

A large fire at a Greenwich motorcycle repair shop, believed to contain gas cylinders, caused the Blackwall Tunnel's closure for three hours this morning as smoke was sent billowing across the area.
Fire crews were called out to the blaze at All Bike Engineering in Peterboat Close at around 6am this morning.
The whole building was alight and it was believed the shop contained gas cylinders which could explode from the heat.
Six fire engines attended the incident with around 35 fire fighters involved.
Their first priority was to bring the fire under control and then cool down the cylinders.
A brigade spokesman said: "The cylinder involved in the Blackwall workshop blaze is being cooled and crews are still on the scene putting out remaining pockets of fire."
An exclusion zone was set up around the fire and businesses on the same industrial estate were evacuated.
Josh Williams, 24, was sent home from neighbouring unit Datashred. He said: "I know they've got cylinders there because they're always outside welding.
"We actually saw the flames coming out of the front door.
"It looks like the building's going to have to be torn down straight after."
He went on: "The wind did change and the smoke started blowing over to us and we had to quickly go inside so we didn't breathe it in."
Smoke was blown across the area, resulting in the closure of the Blackwall Tunnel Approach northbound and southbound.
The Blackwall Tunnel was closed for three hours and there are still severe delays and queueing traffic in the surrounding area.
Residents near the fire were advised to keep their doors and windows closed due to the smoke in the area.
The brigade said it expects to be on site until tomorrow morning whilst firefighters spray cool water onto the cylinders to cool them down and make them safe.
At its height the fire caused heavy traffic around the Blackwall Tunnel but the road is now open again in both directions.
No injuries were reported but local residents were advised to close doors and windows due to heavy smoke from the fire.
Station manager Tim Frost said: "At the height of the incident the whole of the repair workshop was alight. There were a number of gas cylinders inside the premises and fire crews worked to cool them down, as some cylinders can explode when exposed to heat."
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the brigade's fire investigation team.

How much water is currently available in the USA and your particular region?
I think if I was just beginning to think about gardening or small scale farming, I'd look at three forms of data that reported:
How much rainfall does my area get a year and in what seasons?
link to water.weather.gov
How low are river levels right now?
link to waterdata.usgs.gov
How low are ground water levels (water table)?
link to groundwaterwatch.usgs.gov
There are many ways you can do that, but I have included links for each question.
This information will show you something that you already know: we're in the midst of a Great Drought.
36% of US citizens get their water from groundwater sources wells and aquifers. The rest rely upon lakes and rivers that increase or decrease based upon rainfall, snowmelt, humidity, and temperature.
Here's a map of the groundwater aquifers: places in which it collects. A well taps into that aquifer usually in a small way for individual use, but of course large ones for city municipalities.
link to web.mit.edu
Now of course there is less rainfall in Winter in most places, though snow will fall offering a fraction of rainfall. So naturally it's dry now.
If you look at the other two pieces of the equation, I think we're in for a very rough Winter season. Even if we had to dig wells in Winter, a terrible situation, and/or gather from local river and lakes, the mass of people doing this with individual efforts would create a major drain of what's there, would be inefficient, would have a human cost, would be a sanitation nightmare, would translate into major health issues, etc.
Those that are served by the Ogallala Aquifer: Colorado,Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming,
they are really getting hammered because they're using far and above what is going into it.
They're in serious negative numbers, and it's estimated in a hundred years, at this rate they'll simply run out. They've diminished 197 million acre-feet of it.
I'm not certain that the study at that link took into account the projected human populationgrowth rate either, or industrial and agricultural demands. Livestock and additional crops needed would be the biggest drawdown most likely. I'm not a hydrologist.
If you live in these states and you're not thinking about making modifications to acquire water, altering gardening techniques, having lots and lots of supplies, then really I don't know what else I can say to change your minds.
Looking at the region of the Mississippi, you'll see severe groundwater changes.
link to www.businessweek.com
If you look at the link above, it notes that the link between the Ohio River and the Mississippi River is almost at historic lows, and that it may not be possible to navigate it past December 10th. This will create delays which affect grain prices due to delivery issues. How many other things move on this river?
Yes, railroads are thinking about expanding as a result of it. It will mean more trucks also to cope. The former will take a lot of time. The latter may put some truckers back to work.
Not to mention that, but the reason that some farmers have rich soil is from river silt. The river carries soil down and deposits it, just like ancient Egypt's river delta. These could also cause lower production of any crops grown in those regions. If the rivers is not renewing the soil by depositing it, then only the farmer's actions will increase its fertility. If you're farming in that area, you're going to have to adjust practices too.
I think a good critical thinker would be looking at all of these issues to determine if moving wouldn't be a good option for some people based upon water sources and changes to them.

About the hotel
The Glangrwyney Court is a privately owned Grade ll listed Georgian Country House offering luxury 5 star accommodation on the edge of the beautiful Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. 33 Acres of parkland and 4 acres of gardens gives the ideal base for a relaxing country retreat. Glangrwyney Court dates back to approximately 1800 with typical Palladian architecture.
The cantilevered staircase is of special interest and the view from the curved window over the gardens and Black Mountains beyond is inspiring. Guests can relax in the cosy sitting room in front of the roaring log fire during winter months. The lounge, along with every room in the house, is tastefully decorated and furnished with period pieces while the honesty bar is to be found in the library, where there is a wide selection of books available and it is possible to take a few quiet moments away from it all. The accommodation comprises eight bedrooms in the Main House and one further ground floor bedroom in the Garden Courtyard, all of which have been sympathetically refurbished to provide exclusive guest rooms with all possible comforts. This becomes evident the moment you arrive and step into the homely and welcoming atmosphere. All rooms are fully equipped with TV & DVD Players, Hairdryers, Clock Radios, Premium Toiletries, Fluffy Bath Towels, Robes and Tea/Coffee facilities. Glangrwyney Court offers guests a well prepared, traditional Breakfast to start the day. With tea and fresh coffee, it is the ideal way to prepare for an adventure filled day exploring the beauty of the surrounding regions. The house does not have a restaurant, but staff will be happy to advise you on one of the highly recommended restaurants to be found nearby in Crickhowell. The tree lined drive forming the approach to the house reveals the first glimpse of the magnificent listed gardens, including ancient Magnolia's and Acers along with an abundance of shrubs and plants. Each season offers interest and enjoyment to the gardening enthusiast. On a summers evening relax on the patio with a glass of wine or in winter wrap up and walk the gardens before settling down in front of the log fire. Croquet, Boules and an all weather Tennis Court is available on site while Fishing, Shooting and Pony Trekking can easily be arranged locally, giving you a wide choice of pursuits to enjoy in the area. There is an enormous choice for walkers in the immediate area, where the Brecon Beacons National Park and Black Mountains offer tremendous hill-walking possibilities and the Brecon/Pontypool canal provides gentle walking along the towpath. The area affords visitors with peace and serenity, nestled amidst the awe inspiring and relaxing surroundings, however the major cities of Cardiff and Bristol are within an hour's drive, giving a sense of convenience to the location.

Hong Kong is a natural stopping off point for travelers flying from North America to Asia. Since most flights arrive in the evening, and many locals speak English, it's a handy place to quickly get reoriented to a new time zone, confident that the sheets will be clean, the bathrooms will be disinfected, and the food won't (generally) make you sick.
The Banff Mountain Photo Essay Competition goal is to showcase the best in mountain-themed photo essays – to recognize the best stories told through a series of still images. The jury is seeking a sequence of images that conveys a compelling story or message – with each image strong enough to stand on its own while conveying a greater narrative when viewed in the photographer's desired sequence.
It's that time of year- the launch of the annual Roth and Ramberg Calendar.
"As commercial photographers, our job is to capture a moment - to document an instance that will never be repeated exactly the same way again. It's about the details. The experience."

Jan. 8th-10th, 2016 at the Banff Park Lodge Featuring: Robert Berdan, Ethan Meleg, Roy Ramsay, Kevin Gedling, Lori Homstol and Brian Merry
The Banff Photography Summit is more than just another landscape photography workshop. It's meant to be a haven for creativity. It's a weekend retreat from the hectic and numerous distractions of everyday life, so that you can turn your complete and undivided attention towards growing as a photographer in the glorious setting of the Canadian Rockies. The Banff Landscape Photography Summit is a photography workshop where you can immerse yourself 100% into your photography and learn from leading professionals in the field.
As self-proclaimed Bucket List Adventurers (BLAs), Jana Kristin and I like to spend as much time as possible travelling to strange and exotic places for the purpose of photography. Actually this is not exactly true…we're always excited to travel, and we'll shoot almost anything, whether it's strange, exotic, or not. We're often asked to recommend the ideal lens for a novice travel photographer. The answer, of course, is "that depends on what you're planning to shoot". It only makes sense, for instance, to use a long telephoto so you can keep your distance when shooting lions and tigers and long toothed baboons in the wild. On the other hand, capturing that grand vista in the Himalayas usually requires a wide angle.

On first use out of the box I am impressed with the aesthetics and design. Fuji has done an excellent job with its design and produced a very sleek looking camera. The design of it just makes you want to use it. The nice thing about the X100T is that the essentials (aperture, shutter speed) are laid out nicely on the camera body and the few features that aren't (ISO, file format, and more) are easily accessed with the handy quick menu represented by a very obvious 'Q' button on the rear of the body. I find it easy to shoot with out of the box without referencing the manual.

With Valve On Linux, Has LGP Lost All Relevance?
Aside from how Valve can better embrace Linux and open-source, another thing to ponder with Valve officially writing about Steam/Source on Linux, is the future of Linux Game Publishing.
Linux Game Publishing got a new CEO in January and aside from a brief company update in February, nothing new has come out since. The company hasn't released any new Linux game ports in years, their blog has been silent, and there hasn't been any rumblings of new projects to be announced soon.
Their most recent work was bringing Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds: Survivor to Linux, but that was back in 2009.

Canonical Releases Snapcraft 2.12 Snaps Creator with New Parts Ecosystem, More

AMDGPU-PRO Driver 16.30 Officially Released with Support for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

I haven't been to this market, but I really want to check it out! This is what they have to say for themselves:
The Charles St Artists Market & Workshop is the latest market to hit vibrant Brunswick. With live painting, roving entertainment, food and drink, it's what makes our open studio experience so unique.
Our focus is on emerging, local talent and our passion is all things creative.
We have always said we are more than just a market and with live music and live art, plus the opportunity to take advantage of the pub's huge range of food and drink, it's what gives our market the unique carnival vibe where people come and people stay.
The market is located in The Sporting Club's carpark, so let's meet inside the pub for a drink first at 1pm. If you're late or unable to find us please call[masked] 413.
The best way to get there is via tram 16, but it's also a short walk from Jewell train station.
For more information check out their website by following this link.
Disappointingly small market, considering the advertising hype. It's lovely to catch up with Laura again, you are a sweetie. We were also lucky to meet up with a lady from Stitch and Sip (look out for their meetup being established soon) They bring a project along to a pub, and stitch - and sip!

Relatives of Spain's 'stolen babies' call for action
| updated at xx
Relatives and parents of what are known as Spain's "stolen babies" gathered in Madrid to press once more for their cases to be reopened.
Campaigners believe hundreds of thousands of newborns were taken from parents with leftwing political views by the Franco regime.
Participants in the demonstration expressed their anger. One said: "They have stolen our babies; they have snatched our children from us on the first day or even since their first hours of their live.
A mother told the heart-rending story of what happened to her: "After the birth they told me that my baby had died because his lungs were flooded. But I know it was a lie because I could see him, he was blond and he was alive, he was healthy."
One thousand five hundred cases have been filed but many have lapsed due to the passage of time or been dropped for lack of evidence.

The University of Utah Research Park, established in 1970 after part of Fort Douglas was deeded to the University of Utah, is now the nation's 12th largest.
A report from the university's Bureau of Economic and Business Research shows that the research park buildings contain 2.1 million square feet and the companies occupying the buildings employ 4,750 workers. Of the 240 leaseable acres, only 84 remain to be developed, said James W. Wood, senior research analyst.The nation's largest research park is the Irvine Spectrum sponsored by the University of California at Irvine. The Spectrum has 20 million square feet.
The U. of U. Research Park's development has been characterized by a steady pace of land absorption, new construction and employment growth. Between 1972 and 1982, 829,000 square feet were leased to park tenants. In 1982, when Northwest Energy Co. completed a 295,000-square-foot building, the lease space in the park increased by 50 percent.
Between 1982 and 1992, the leased space remained at 869,250 square feet. The amount of land leased in this period was 64.4 acres. "The pace of development in the park has been very consistent, averaging between six and seven acres a year," Wood said.
Employment growth in the park has been less consistent, but employment increased in all but three years of the park's history, he said. The largest employment increase occurred in 1982 when the Northwest building was occupied.
Between 1992 and 1995, the park suffered its worst period of employment growth due to the downsizing of Evans & Sutherland, Ford, Bacon & Davis and the Western Institute of Neuropsychiatry, but no major unemployment losses occurred in other areas.
Ownership of the 2.1 million square feet is either owner-occupied, developer-owned and leased or University Research Foundation-owned and leased. Park tenants fall in the categories of research and development-based, support services firms, non-technology and U. of U. colleges and departments.
Wood said it is important to note that between 1983 and 1996 university employees working in the research park increased from 215 to 1,049, an increase from 8 to 21.6 percent. The number of technology-based company employees remained constant in the past few years, but because of the increase in university-related activity, the number of employees in non-technology companies has declined.
Wood said some developers view the research park as unfair competition, but it has played a minor role in the Salt Lake County real estate market. He said the park has complemented the research market and without it there would be no commercial/office space close to the university.
The interaction between firms in research park and the university has been high for nearly 20 years, Wood said. "The number of firms in the park using faculty members as consultants, participating in joint research projects and hiring students or faculty has been well above 50 percent and in some cases reaching as high as 80 percent to 90 percent, he said.

Christmas is the time for giving, but one Wellingtonian gave more than they anticipated to the Wellington City Mission.
A member of the public accidentally donated a ring while giving to the Mission's annual street appeal last Friday.
Wellington City Mission appeal co-ordinator Joanna Moss said she found the ring when she took the collection buckets to the bank to be processed later that day.
''I ripped the security seal off the bucket and there it was, sitting right in the middle.
''If it hadn't been on top of the coins, I wouldn't have seen it.''
Mrs Moss believes the ring slipped off the donor's finger as they pushed a note through the narrow slot in the bucket.
She said a number of odds and ends - including cheques and buttons - ended up in collection buckets, so there was a possibility that it had been given deliberately.
''The Wellington City Mission receives all kinds of gifts.''
But once that had been discounted, the ring was handed in to Wellington City Police, where it awaits collection.
''Really we were concerned that someone had no idea where it had gone, and spent all weekend worrying about it.''
Because each collection bucket is marked, Mrs Moss was able to identify approximately where and what time the accidental donation had been made, but those details would have to be verified by its rightful owner.
Alternatively, a photo or detailed description would be enough to claim it.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

No one's looking at your shoes! Irina Shayk strips off AGAIN as she stars in sexy new footwear campaign
As one of the world's most popular models, Irina Shayk is no stranger to stripping off to sell products.
But the bosses behind XTI footwear's latest campaign should maybe have thought twice about putting the 25-year-old in a selection of skimpy outfits in the shots, as the Russian model makes it difficult to concentrate on anything else.
The brunette beauty, who is dating footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, is seen in various states of undress as she poses alongside a sexy male co-star in the shots.

Irina also showed off her incredible curves as she writhes around in tiny tops and knickers, and recently spoke about how she maintains her figure.
Referring to how much she works out, Irina said: 'I really love doing something for myself. When I have a free time, I love going to the spa for a massage.
'I work out four or five times a week with my trainer not because I want to be skinny, but because it just makes me feel good to start my day with a workout.'

Irina has been working hard on her modelling career since she landed the prestigious cover of Sports Illustrated earlier this year.
Talking recently about the honour, Irina told Forbes magazine: 'It's one of the most important things that can happen to a model in her career. People now recognize me on the street.
'A couple of days ago, I took a shower and then was walking my dog, and a man came up to me with a bag full of magazines. He came from New Jersey, and was like, "Can you sign these magazines?" It was about 10 p.m., and here I am with wet hair!'

And, referring to how the cover has changed her life, Irina said: 'The cover has launched countless modeling careers. I did receive requests to be in movies, but I want to concentrate on my modelling.'
Russian-born Irina is based in New York but is currently without her beau as he is
currently playing with Real Madrid.
The pair have been dating since spring last year after meeting at an Armani Exchange photoshoot.
