Wodka Vodka which touts the tag line "Escort quality, hooker pricing" has surprised vodka drinkers, and the industry with the success of their unorthodox approach. And now with the brand rolling out to 12 additional states, more customers can enjoy this great vodka at just a small hit to their wallet.
We are society that holds the often-time foolish notion that a higher price tag accompanied by eye-catching snazzy packaging equals a superior product. Over the last few years Wodka Vodka has called that notion to the carpet with a new business model: Premium vodka for a cheap price.
Wodka Vodka is set to roll out to 12 new stated: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.
Panache Beverage, which owns Wódka and Alibi, expressed it wants to focus on "growing their presence" while also "broadening their footprint within the nation's centre."
The premium vodka market was at a stand-still and stuck in a price fight at about $15 to $17 per bottle. When a few brand like Ciroc began charging more, it was all a smoke and mirror job.
Ciroc, a brand which was a step away from life spport, was revitalized by Sean "Diddy" Combs, who helped the brand grow its sales north of 500 percent in three years. Diddy, though, takes 50% of the $6.8 million in annual revenues. Today, Ciroc sells for $29 for 750 ml compared to $22 for Ketel One. Is Diddy's name worth an extra $7.00?
Wodka is part of a new wave of cheap, premium vodkas looking to take a bite out of the market, and with consumers getting smarter about what they are drinking, it is doing just that.
Wodka received a Gold Medal (Exceptional rating) at Tastings.com a review website for spirits.

College Hockey:Taylor Out At Yale
Offered Reassignment After 28 Seasons Behind Bulldogs' Bench
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Yale's long-time head coach Tim Taylor has been removed from that position and will be offered reassignment within the athletic department. The announcement was made today by Tom Beckett, Yale athletics director.
"Tim Taylor has been an exceptional coach, mentor and ambassador of Yale Hockey as well as all of amateur hockey for 30 years. We are extremely respectful and appreciative of his service to Yale and his dedication and loyalty to the men of Yale Hockey," said Beckett. "We believe, however, that now is the time to provide new leadership for the next generation of student-athletes in this program."
No details about replacing Taylor were included in the announcement.
Taylor's 28th and final Yale season ended with a 10-20-3 record and an ECAC Hockey League quarterfinal playoff loss at Dartmouth on March 11. Taylor, whose record with the Bulldogs is 342-433-55, has coached all six of the school's Hobey Baker Award finalists and is in his 30th year at the university. He took two leaves of absence to coach U.S. Olympic Teams.
In an email sent to Yale athletic staff and obtained by USCHO, Taylor expressed disappointment that he was not able to leave the bench on his own terms, but praised the state of the hockey program. "I have attempted to build my coaching philosophy on the principles of honesty and integrity and have always wanted Yale Hockey to reflect those values," Taylor wrote. "As difficult as it will be to leave Yale on less than ideal terms, I will leave knowing the program is on solid ground in this regard."
Taylor, who has coached 825 games — more than anyone in the history of the ECACHL — has more victories than any Yale hockey mentor. His tenure at Ingalls Rink has included one conference title, 19 ECACHL playoff appearances and three 20-win seasons. Taylor, who has taught numerous future professional athletes, was the national coach of the year in 1997-98 when the Bulldogs captured the conference regular-season title and played in the NCAA Tournament. He has been conference coach of the year three times and has also won six Ivy League championships.
Taylor's last victory, a 3-2 win over Union on March 4, was the longest (141:35) game in the history of NCAA men's hockey. That win sealed the two-game sweep in the first round of the conference playoffs and sent Yale into the quarterfinals against ECACHL regular-season champion Dartmouth.

Thirteen-time Pro-Bowler and Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI champion, Peyton Manning is ready to take on the Super Bowl in his little brother's football town, and reveals who are his lucky charms.
The All-American quarterback is not only ready to play against NFL's 2013 season best defensive team, the Seattle Seahawks, but boasts he has his good luck charms that helps him feel confident.
"It's my family – my wife and twins," Peyton Manning said during Tuesday's Super Bowl XLVIII Media Day in Newark, NJ.
"My entire family keeps me positive and they always support me," said Denver Broncos' quarterback about his good luck charms. "They will be coming to town to be with me. Without them, I would not be where I am today. I am very grateful," the star quarterback continued.
Peyton Manning has been married to his wife Ashley for almost 13 years, and both share 2-1/2 year old fraternal twins, daughter Mosley and son Marshall.
As expected, the New Orleans native will be joined by his good luck charms, his parents and New York Giants' quarterback, younger brother, Eli Manning.
Should Peyton Manning win this Sunday's Super Bowl, he will go down history as first NFL player to have two Super Bowl rings from different teams, as well as having a combined four Super Bowl rings between himself and sibling.
As for more about Peyton's little good luck charms, "My kids provide me a lot of joy and happiness every day," Peyton said. "I'm learning more about them every day. It makes me happy and excited," Peyton added.

Comic book men drawn in different directions
Tony Isabella and Tom Batiuk have a lot in common. As children, they both remember a family member reading the comics to them. As teenagers, they both had a fascination with comic books and spent long hours creating characters and writing comic book storylines. They both published comic strips, magazines and books. These are the stories of two Medina County residents who followed the same passion down two very different paths to national success.
This is Tom Batiuk's story. To read Tony Isabella's story, click here.
Tom Batiuk was an art teacher at Elyria's Eastern Heights Junior High when he published his first professional comic on the teen page of The Gazette's sister newspaper, The Chronicle-Telegram, in September 1970.
"Rapping Around" was a cartoon about teenagers negotiating the sometimes-funny, sometimes-difficult realities of high school. The cartoon turned out to be the forerunner to Batiuk's wildly popular and award-winning comic strip "Funky Winkerbean," now in its 42nd year.
Distributed by North America Syndicate, a division of King Features Syndicate, the comic strip appears in more than 400 newspapers worldwide.
As a youngster growing up in Akron, Batiuk had been intrigued by the Akron Beacon Journal's comics, which his father read to him. As he grew older, he became a fan of serial movies, the kind that were shown before a feature film and that always ended with a cliffhanger.
One movie in particular, "The Phantom Empire" starring Gene Autry, was shown on Friday afternoons at Batiuk's elementary school, impressing Batiuk with its ambitious over-the-top storyline.
Batiuk said his first comic book — "Tom Corbett Space Cadet" — was the clincher. He knew he wanted to be a cartoonist when he grew up.
The young Batiuk began drawing characters and writing their stories. Some of his earlier works featured detectives Chicken Coop Charlie and Pork Chop Chuck, Tank Thompson and The Amazing Mr. Sponge.
Batiuk reprised Starbuck Jones, a superhero he created in fifth grade, for the current "Funky Winkerbean." This week "Funky Winkerbean's" Holly is at Comic Con in San Diego seeking the elusive "Starbuck Jones" Issue No. 115 for son Cory who is stationed in Afghanistan.
Batiuk didn't start out to be a comic strip creator.
"My goal was to create serious comic books for DC or Marvel Comics," he said in an interview at his Medina Township home. But Batiuk soon would find himself on a different path.
After graduating from Kent State University with a degree in fine arts and a certificate in teaching in 1969, Batiuk traveled to New York to land a job with one of the comic book publishers.
Batiuk said DC Comics was less than welcoming to the aspiring cartoonist. But at Marvel, Batiuk found a kindred spirit in Roy Thomas, an associate editor and writer at the time. (Thomas later became Marvel's editor-in-chief.)
"Roy Thomas was extremely gracious. And although he didn't accept any of my material, he encouraged me to keep working on it," Batiuk said.
Batiuk spent his days teaching art and his evenings working on material for Marvel.
After a discussion with his former high school art teacher, Jim Mateer, Batiuk decided to meet with then Chronicle-editor James Dauble to pitch the idea of freelancing.
Dauble was just launching the newspaper's teen page and invited Batiuk to create a comic for it.
"From the beginning, 'Rapping Around' and 'Funky Winkerbean' were inside jobs," Batiuk said. "I based stories on things that happened at the school where I taught or on my own school experiences. I had played trombone at Midview High (in Grafton), so I did a cartoon about a high school band. I took that idea with me when I created "Funky Winkerbean." Band director Dinkle is based on Midview's band director Harry Pfingston."
In 1971, Publishers Hall Syndicate offered Batiuk a contract for a comic strip called "Moondog." The strip eventually would be renamed "Funky Winkerbean" and would make its newspaper debut in March 1972.
"Funky" did so well that Batiuk had to leave teaching to focus on the strip. But he returned to Mateer's art class once a week to remain close to "Funky's" subject matter.
Over the years, Batiuk has tackled serious — and sometimes controversial — issues in the strip, including Lisa's teen pregnancy.
"Once I did that storyline, I couldn't go back to Les trying to climb the gym rope," he said. "That propelled the idea of moving the story forward in time."
Batiuk's characters jumped ahead in time twice. In 1992, Funky and crew aged from high school students to college graduates. In 2007 after Lisa's death from breast cancer, Batiuk moved the characters forward by 10 years.
"The second jump served two purposes," he said, "When I created the characters, they were 15 and I was 24. Moving them forward in time brought them closer to my age. And we were able to skip the mourning process after Lisa's death.
"When I did the storyline about Lisa's cancer, there was a growing awareness of breast cancer. And I knew some women who had it. I wondered what would happen to Les and Lisa's relationship if something like that happened to them. The first time around, I just skimmed over the surface. But when I was diagnosed with cancer — I'm fine now — I wanted to revisit the story. My experience deepened the work; I understood the stronger emotions that come with cancer."
Since then, Batiuk has addressed other sensitive issues in "Funky" and in "Crankshaft," the comic strip he writes with illustrator Chuck Ayers. In that strip, Lillian McKenzie, who lives next door to Ed Crankshaft, had to cope with her sister Lucy's Alzheimer's and eventual death. And while the "Funky" characters have grown into middle-aged adults, the Crankshaft crew is stuck in time.
"I can't move them ahead — although I'd like to — because Ed is already old," said Batiuk, who revealed — Spoiler Alert! — that Ed and Mary slowly will start dating as Ed's friend Ralph runs for mayor."
This month, Batiuk and Ayers released "Strike Four: The Crankshaft Baseball Book" (Black Squirrel Books, an imprint of Kent State University Press). The pair plans to release a book called "Roses in December" that will focus on Lucy McKenzie's Alzheimer's, much like the book, "Lisa's Story," focused on breast cancer.
Batiuk also is working on "Funky Winkerbean: Volume 4, 1981-1983" (Black Squirrel Books, an imprint of Kent State University Press).
"I'm actually having more fun now than I ever had working on both strips," Batiuk said. "It's hard to believe that I've been able to work at my dream job."

This Sunday, the Ann Arbor News endorsed city council candidates in Wards 1, 2, and 3.
To represent Ward 1, the Ann Arbor News recommended Democratic incumbent Sabra Briere over independent challenger Jeff Hayner. Mixed Use Party candidate Jaclyn Vresics is also on the ballot, but has suspended her campaign.
In the Ward 2 contest, the newspaper endorsed independent incumbent Jane Lumm over both her challengers, Democrat Kirk Westphal and Mixed Use Party candidate Conrad Brown.
Democratic incumbent Stephen Kunselman earned the paper's nod over challenger Sam DeVarti of the Mixed Use Party in Ward 3.
The paper's editorial board cited Briere's sponsoring of the city's citizen participation ordinance, crafting of ordinances to regulate the city's medical marijuana facilities, and "her insistence that the city and its employees see residents as their customers" in its decision. It also pointed out that, while it agreed with Hayner that "the city has been too slow to review its downtown zoning regulations," Briere has responded by introducing a resolution to do just that.
So far, the paper has only published one letter to the editor about the race. It supported Hayner.
While the Ann Arbor News thought that both Lumm and Westphal would serve their wards and the city well if elected, the paper favored Lumm because of her efforts to keep the city's finances in line, such as addressing its $86 million unfunded pension liability. It also cited her concern about basic services, such as staffing the police department and seeing that the fire department meets national standards.
Meanwhile, the paper agreed with Westphal's criticisms of Lumm, including her voting against both a high-rise development that was allowed by the zoning code and matching funds to study a new train station. That latter action earned Lumm a comparison to the Tea Party politicians in Troy who also rejected a train station in their city.
The News dismissed Conrad Brown as inexperienced, and took a dig at him for missing two appointments for interviews.
The paper also published five letters to the editor about the contest this week, indicating high levels of interest in the candidates. Three of them supported Lumm while two, including one by former council member Tony Dereziinski, were in favor of Westphal. Two weeks ago, the paper compiled three letters in support of Lumm into a single article.
The paper, which had also endorsed Kunselman for the primary, praised him for his leadership and attention to issues like blight, infrastructure, and police and fire department staffing.
Like they had for Brown, the News dismissed DeVarti as inexperienced and added that he was not "well versed on all the issues facing the city."
So far, the paper has not published any letters supporting either of the candidates.
The paper issued no endorsements in the contests for Wards 4 and 5, where only one candidate is on the ballot. In Ward 4, that is Democrat Jack Eaton, who defeated incumbent Marcia Higgins in the primary. The Ann Arbor News had endorsed Higgins in that contest. In Ward 5, it is incumbent Democrat Mike Anglin, who was unopposed in the primary.
Both candidates face write-in candidates. William Lockwood is challenging Eaton, while Anglin is fending off two, Tom Partridge and Chip Smith.

Illness and injury will happen. But they don't have to put employees on the spot. When an injury or illness prevents an employee from working for awhile, our non-occupational disability insurance provides important benefits so they can focus on their recovery.
While New York law requires you to have disability coverage, you can choose your provider. Nationwide's group insurance offers coverage to provide a weekly cash benefit to your employees for disabilities caused by non-occupational illness or injury.
Statutory benefits are equal to 50% of your insured employee's average weekly wage, up to a maximum of $170 per week.
Statutory benefits are payable starting with the eighth day of disability for non-occupational illness or injury and last as long as 26 weeks during a 52-week period, beginning with the first week from which benefits begin.
Group insurance that's customized and affordable
Providing non-occupational disability coverage for your New York employees is the law, but you have choices when it comes to providers.
For more detailed information, view our New York Disability coverage brochure.
Some limitations and state exceptions apply. An employer is allowed by law to deduct one half of 1% of an employee's weekly wage, not to exceed 60 cents per week toward the cost of this coverage. The employers pay the balance of the premium.

Last night the 40/40 club was the place for a star-studded gathering celebrating the premiere of the FOX's new action-crime drama Gang Related. Set in L.A we follow the life of Gang Task Force member Ryan Lopez, played by Ramon Rodriguez. He work's on an elite team that includes The RZA, Sung Kang (Han from the Fast & Furious) and group leader Terry O'Quinn. Unknown to his partners is the fact that as a youth Lopez swore loyalty to Los Angelicos one of the most powerful gangs in the City. Lopez has honored this affiliation from childhood though all stages of his life and that hasn't stopped as he now works to clean up the L.A streets while looking out for his "familia".
The show captures that human dichotomy of good and evil that lives in us all. Is Ryan Lopez a hero, a criminal or something worse? In the end which honor code will he side with? Many of the elements in this remind of the journey Walter White in Break Bad took us on. You want to root for the guy and his initial goals to do good. Yet as the story unfolds you see that he is just as much a criminal as those he deals with. The ability to separate one from the other gets more and more difficult.
The crowd that came through to support the screening lost night was impressive. NBA legends Cal Ramsey and Walt Clyde Frazier came through. Hip Hop really came out to support the Rza as Bobbito, Rosie Perez, Dj Absolute and more enjoyed the evenings events. Gang Related is definitely worth checking out when it hit's the airwaves next week. May 22nd.

How Does Religion
Enhance One's Morality?
To: "Positive Atheism" <email@example.com>
Subject: PA-via_Positive_Atheism_Index
Date: Saturday, September 02, 2000 9:04 AM
One of my friends ask me how Religion may enrich or enhance the morality of one's life? And I don't know the answer. Can you assist me? I need this answer urgently.
From: "Positive Atheism" <email@example.com>
To: "SAMJESSIE"
Subject: Re: PA-via_Positive_Atheism_Index
Date: Saturday, September 02, 2000 5:50 PM
If "morality" is simply a set of rules that apply to all and in all situations, cultures, and times, then it seems that any one of the legalistic religions should tend improve that morality. Paul disagreed with that notion, and asserted that knowledge of the law made one tend more to disobey that law. I am not sure that Paul's assessment of legalistic morality is very accurate, but in any event I do not go along with legalistic morality of any kind.
True, a legalistic system of morality works when dealing with a society, because it presents a fair set of standards and punishes lawbreaking fairly -- if it is administered fairly. But I don't think this sense of morality is healthy as a personal outlook (while I do accept that legalism is how our society's system of law works and thus do what I can to avoid breaking any of society's laws -- unless I am willing to suffer the consequences of going up against "The People of the State").
Religious morality is usually premised upon a revealed "will" of a deity, either in the form of a Scripture (Bible; Koran; Vedas; Book of Mormon) or in the form of a living prophet or spokesperson (the Pope; the Mormon President; an Imam; a swami; a medicine man) or in the form of personal inspiration (that still, small voice; the Pentecostal "gift of knowledge"). However, since I cannot verify any of the past or current claims for the existence of a god, I have no business basing my sense of morality upon any revelation (unless the revelation has been established as the law of the land, in which case I am going up against the State, not a god).
If no gods exist, then all alleged revelations are human contrivances. In other words, I cannot distinguish between the so-called will of a god and human invention, so I default to seeing all claims of revelation as human inventions -- or at least acting as if this were the case. So, if, for all practical purposes, all morality is the invention of humans, then I would think that we do best to treat all public discussions of morality as one would a scientific claim. In science, all claims to knowledge are subject to revision, and all ideas are put before the public with the specific aim of encouraging the public to scrutinize those ideas. If an idea of mine should be shown to have serious flaws, I agree to follow the results of that scrutiny and reassess or even abandon my idea.
So, to address your question, I must point out that it is a trick question: it first presupposes that religion can or does enrich or enhance one's morality, and then asks how this can be accomplished or how this happens.
The real question, I think, would be can or does religion enrich or enhance one's morality? My answer is that it can, depending upon the religion.
I think the legalistic religions that enforce conformity in order to belong to the group (the tribal totem mentality) is passé; it worked for many centuries, but I think it can only harm us within the global community of science-based thinking. I also question the morality of doing something because one thinks God or Karma will issue rewards. Likewise, refraining from doing something because one thinks God or Karma will mete out stern punishment is no morality at all. This reminds me of when I was a kid and took my dog to obedience school.
The human communities have grown up, and science and rationalism and the global community have replaced dogmatism and superstition and the tribal totem. This severely affects how we look upon morality today versus how they looked upon it 300 years ago. Unfortunately, most popular religions haven't changed much since before the Enlightenment, and they are, to borrow a line from Jesus, putting "new wine into old wineskins": the new wine, here, is the entirely new situation that humankind finds itself in. The old wineskins are the outmoded outlooks and styles of thinking that worked when the Earth was still flat and when all physical laws were set in stone. This outdated thinking does not work in this post-Copernican age of the diverse global community (any more than it did during the diverse quasi-global communities of the Greek and Roman Eras, when it was known that the Earth is not the center of the universe).
To me, acknowledging that morality is defined by humans and is not necessarily applicable to all people at all times in all situations is the primary key to understanding morality and developing systems of morality.

Want to send me some dosh in appreciation for my independent scholarship and speaking and blogging, without actually spending any extra dosh at all? This is how…
When you do your Christmas or Solstice or other holiday shopping this season, you can buy gifts for people (friends, family…yourself!), or spend your own Amazon gift cards or credits after the holiday ends, by using the Richard Carrier Recommends Amazon Store. Not only can you buy stuff I've put in that store (lots of my own favorite or recommended stuff in several categories, from books to videos), but you'll notice on the right margin you can buy other stuff as well (maybe from your own wishlist, if you've logged in to Amazon beforehand). The prices are all the same for you, but I get a small commission on every sale through there. So you basically end up getting Amazon to support my work, by using my recommendations to inspire you to give them your business.
You can also, of course, support me by just buying my books (that's a special page just for them that includes audio and electronic editions), and now also any of my amusements or games (only one game for now, but another is on the way, though not in time for the holidays), and I get a cut equal to my share of pageviews out of all my fellow bloggers from what you pay to subscribe to FreethoughtBlogs (that subscription also lets you view our entire website without ads).
When I spoke to a few people at Skepticon this year they were often surprised to learn that I don't make very much selling my books or blogging or speaking. Anyone who knows the industry, of course, knows no one makes any appreciable money blogging. My books, as obscure nonfiction, will never make Stephen King money (or even Richard Dawkins money). And I keep my speaking fees low as a way to help the movement, so more groups can afford to bring me in to speak or debate. When all my income is added up, and taxes and expenses are subtracted, I only take home about $15,000 a year. I could just barely live on that, with extreme "starving artist" frugality. But I live with an awesome woman who earns considerably more, so I'm not living like a starving artist. I gladly operate as her domestic manservant to earn my keep at home, in addition to my cash income paying our mortgage (and property taxes & insurance to boot).
But the more money I can bring in, the more it's appreciated by both of us, and the more it keeps me going doing what I do. Because it shows I'm having an impact and my work is appreciated and valued. The advantage of being an independent scholar is that I do not have to fear the threat or meddling of any academic institution and don't have to kowtow to their expectations or exhaust enormous amounts of time on endless committee work and other things they bury profs under. The disadvantage is that I have to cobble together my income from disparate sources. One of which is passing the hat to everyone who wants to show their appreciation for what I do, like any street busker would. You can of course just send me money (through PayPal at firstname.lastname@example.com) just to show me you value what I do.
But buying gifts for Christmas through my Amazon store is just one more way to do that that costs you nothing extra at all. So keep that in mind for this holiday season!

Fermento's Foamy Rant
Beer News From Alaska
If it were for the nose alone on Full Sail Brewing Company's LTD 03 (Limited Edition #3), I would be in love. But I don't have to depend on just that to enjoy this one. Still, being a lager, any beer that gives me that almost custard/vanilla aroma off the top rocks my world. It implies a softness, non hop-invasive beer that's just gentle on the nose and the palate. The beer just reeks of delicate softness, something I know I can enjoy with the best of the salads I love in front of the warmest fires on an Alaska winter night and as a quencher when done with shoveling that next load of wet snow off the driveway. Here's another beer where the hops are restrained, giving the sweet, fresh, delicate malts center stage.
The flavor is just slightly more aggressive, but not by much. Everything's in balance in this beer from the initial smooth malt sweep across the palate, followed by just enough hop flavor and bitterness to not only balance the beer, but keep it interesting. This is a beer my
mother might dash with salt, in that old- world way, but I wouldn't change an atom. The center sweetness is alluring, and again soft, as is the mouthfeel in this pristinely produced 5.6 percent lager. If it wasn't so late at night, I might run out and build a salad and compliment it with a slab of swordfish, knowing that both elements would find equal footing in my sensory pleasure. I love the overall deli- cacy and regal-ness of this great beer and am headed out tomorrow to find some more.

Hillary Clinton Used to be Hot
Today's lesson is for the young women of America, especially those who will be voting for the first time in 2012.
You have a vital decision to make in your life, like once had our subject to the left. You must decide if you will align with the Moral Right of America, leading a life that would make your parents and grandparents proud. You must decide if you want an America where your future sons and daughters can grow up wealthy and not under the boot of Chinese oppresion.
You must decide if your children will have to live in a world were sodomy is prevalent and gays are allowed to freely molest our morals and way of life. If such things sound bad to you, it's because you are a good person at heart. Your parents have raised you with morals to hate genocidal dictators like Adolf Hitler and to dislike abortion, gay marriage and world hunger.
But if you let a certain evil into your life, you will find it rots your insides. This rotting evil is called liberalism, a democrat disease. And my young friends, know that a rotting inside will only fester and destroy your outer shell. The taut young woman in the picture to the left is very beautiful by any standards. Her name? Hillary Rodham Clinton.
This revelation may have shocked you, as it did me. Hillary Clinton is now a loud-mouthed harpie who lies, cheats and steals. She was obviously a poor wife, as her husband was forced to crawl into the bed of an overweight, emotionally unstable intern to get any passionate gratification. If Hillary could have kept her firm, perky morals in place and her looks, Bill Clinton would not have strayed. But in a way, Bill Clinton sowed his fate of being married to a shrewd, racist, moral deprived woman when he decided to be a registered democrat.
You see, young ladies, being a Democrat rots away at your insides. Democrats believe a woman's body should be subjected to mutilation to remove children and freely ravaged at drug-induced parties. Democrats do not believe in basic morals or self-control. Statistically speaking, 87% of the prison population associates with the democratic party. Coincidentally, most people in prison by demographic race percent are blacks from rough impoverished backgrounds.
Your parents have taught you to not run with the wrong crowds, or their lifestyle will ruin you. You've seen what young Hillary Clinton up above looked like.
Look to the right. Here, you see young, non-Democrat Hillary Clinton sitting with a cute skirt and a timeless smile on her face. That is the posture of a woman who stands for morality and understanding the joys of giving herself to her husband's desire of unity. She is a woman who will proudly stand up to people like Casey Anthony and other moms who claim their children 'disappear', when in reality they see no difference in womb or post-womb abortion. The murder of babies is the murder of babies. It is people like Democrats who inspire people like Casey Anthony and all the other "Mommy Killers" who will burn in hell.
And that's what this all comes down to ladies.
Do you want your conscience tormented when the end of your life comes. Do you want to look in a mirror and see a face that used to be beautiful person, just like you are right now, or do you want a constricting demon's mask covering what used to be a proud countenance?
Oh yes, you will be consumed by your hatred of morality if you do things like vote for Obama. Do you know that since taking office, Obama has overseen and allowed genocidal wars? Do you support genocide? Do you support the downfall of America and all the human rights this nation is supposed to stand for?
Do one simple experiment. Try to find one confirmed Democrat woman who is beautiful to the eyes. It is impossible. No matter how great they looked when they were young, you will find that with age their rotten morals on the inside have necrotized their flesh on the outside. They are ugly, inside and out.
Contrast this to the images of housewives from the fifties, tight-bodied morality challenging the tensile strength of their form-fitting blouse and apron. These woman of yesteryear had the morality intact and it showed in their inner and outer spirit. You will still find beautiful women like this in our society. Sarah Palin, her age only providing her with more shining beauty. Michelle Bachmann, a brickhouse that would be the apple of any proper man's eye. Just take a look at Fox News, you will find an endless assortment of beautiful women and it's not because they are some starved anorexia-toking model. No, it's because they have decided to do one important thing with their lives.
Become a registered Republican.
Now, some misguided and ugly women will appear in the comments area and tell lies. They will say radical feminist things like, "Mike, you are being sexist and women are not objects". I am not sexist and I agree that women are not objects. But in the land of reality, we have to realize that out of the bosoms of women are born the leaders of tomorrow. And what sort of world will we live in if everyone is wildly running around, sniffing drugs ofa legalized protitute's Vegas-chubbed tummy while homosexual deviants are sodomizing eveything in site, Chinese horndogs goosestepping on our streets while weak-bellied atheist bigots are blowing up our churches and Civil Rights as decent human beings.
These ugly women are nothing but anarchist liars, the type of soap-deprived, lazy, barren-wombed and jobless women who are finally being sprayed with air-freshner at Occupy Wallstreet events. Any woman who stands against me stands against the ethos and pathos that underwrite the very essence of America's destiny and Constitution.
If you need more proof of what Democrat-morality on the insides can do to a woman, please again look at the beauty that once used to be named Hillary Rodham up above. Take a good, long look at the slender fitted morality that gives her an airy, timeless appearance. Like a woman plucked right out of the kitchen in the 1950s, the site of young Hillary brings instant comfort to any man.
Now, look at what she has become after being registered a Democrat.
In the image above, Hillary Clinton is shrieking like a black woman whose Baby Daddy bought malt liquor instead of a pack of cheap off-brand diapers. It's ironic that the very people who claim to be 'the party for minorities' fought against Civil Rights, support race-oppressing acts like Affirmative Action and encouage minorities to live a hand-to-mouth Obamcare-dependent, ghetto-government housing funded and crack-addict lifestyle instead of charter schools and community church-based initiatives that would actually work.
Hillary is making a typically ugly Democrat face as Michelle Bachman confronts her up above and asks why she supports the murder of babies. We see Hillary's face is defensive, because she has no good argument.
In this rare image, Hillary Clinton's expression is caught at the very moment photographs showing Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky caught in a lewd act of cigar cobbling are placed before her. You would think she had suffered Grave's disease from the mutilated, wide-eyed Joker and Steve Harvey love-child bug-out face she is giving. Women, if you have the moralities of a ornery honeybear who delights in maiming the sweet wombs that carry the future of this nation, you will turn your husband off and he will cheat on you. There is no way to sugarcoat the fact.
You will notice that in most Hillary images, her mouth is stuck in a muscular contracted position seen in cheerleaders who had to 'earn' their way to the top of the pyramid. This is what happens when you fellate the joy nozzle of Satan for too long, ladies. Seen in other crazed fanatics like Howard Dean and Charles Manson, Clinton's facial expressions are extraordinarily wide and exaggerated. She's suffering from a soul-bound meth addiction: liberalism. It is rotting her away and destroying her since of reality, as you can clearly see in this image. Wooo!
If there were to be a biopic about the life and times of Hillary Clinton and if Heath Ledger were still alive, casting and character archtype would be quite simple. Simply bring Christopher Nolan's Joker in Ledger's body, and boom, you have Hillary Clinton. Throw on a wig, but the chiseled features any gruff actor could take on.
Hillary Clinton is just one case example of what happens to a woman who gets out of line. Know that being subservient to the advice of our traditions is not a bad thing. It is not bad for a woman to stand up for children and to proudly be at home with her family. Some women do work, but they remain loyal to their husbands and do not think it is 'their body right' to throw themselves into the bed of any other man, destroying their husband's trust and sanctity of marriage in the process.
It is fine for a woman to say no to homosexuals, to teach her children that it is beyond fine to find gays distrustful, hideous and more terrifying that a Chucky Doll with a colon clencher. And that's where we are today, young women. We are at a point where our society is falling, marriages torn apart and directionless children not knowing the black van with the limp-wristed candyman means 'danger' and not 'Homodaddy'.
To make America strong again, we need more women of the Right. And we need them now. The choice is yours, but remember, your choice is not only for the future of America. Just as importantly, it is for the future of what makes America great: your body.

- Fascinated

A nickel plated top with copper base version will also be on offer as well as a third model that is all nickel covered, but these other two models won't be available for a short time, while it's been said that this all copper version pictured above should be ready for purchase within the next week or so at a price point of around $140-$150.

COLD WAR IN A TRASH BAG - Vol I
Anonymous b/w negatives from the Cold War Years in Vinnitsa/Ukraine - With special mentioning of the 20th Independence Day of the Ukraine/European Integration on August 24, 2011 on the back
by Burkhard P. von Harder
(Artist Book, 120 pages, 8x10 inch/20x25 cm) COLD WAR IN A TRASH BAG is based on recently found anonymous Cold War photographic footage from the Ukraine. In the summer of 2010 thousands of abandoned black and white negatives were discovered in Vinnitsa, a place only 250 km away from Chernobyl. In miserable condition, the ripped, scratched and torn filmstrips obviously had been completely forgotten and left decaying through the first 20 years of the country's independence. They could be saved from disposal and taken abroad where 5000 of them were put through a painstaking scanning process so far. The results show solarisation processes and other signs of deterioration leading to new imagery - more PoDs on the subject to follow. March 2011
burkhard von harder is a member of the ABC Artist's Books Cooperative: www.abcoop.wordpress.com/artists/burkhard-von-harder/
please note: my books are subject to constant subtle changes - leading to a string of replaced uploads - which is especially true in the early stages - since PoD technology offers this new reality - creating the likelihood that some shortlived in-between-state-of the-art may produce rare collector items - if purchased at any such given moment. It may be advisable to flip through the volumes here and then again - i.e. there will be parallel editions to choose from in some cases. bvh

Friday, Aug. 3
That was probably the most fun I've ever had mid-race in my life. Since I was leading the whole way I got to really soak it all in and not have to deal with thinking about everyone else. Walking into that stadium was magical. Walking out as an Olympic Finalist was pretty sweet too! Now I'm going into the final thinking I may as well run for a medal and see what happens.
Afterward I met up with the Princeton crew and had dinner a few stops out of the city to unwind. Then rode back in, watched the womens' 10k and came back to the village. It's now 1:15am so I'll probably just put in ear plugs and cover my eyes with the sleep blinders and just wake up whenever feels right. Tough life.
Race notes: Auto-qualified to the Olympic Final. After 150m nobody was going to lead so I jumped to the front and started shooting for 66s (2:45s). Led until 300ish to go I didn't respond quickly enough when the guys jumped me. Had to wait until after the water to get back in the auto-qualifying group.
Thursday, Aug. 2
Took the tube to Mile End, ran to the Thames and explored the Thames River Path. It seems like there could be some potential for a post-finals run about a mile west, toward the center of the city.
By the time I got back to Mile End Stadium James Cole had showed up! I did some drills and light hurdle stuff, got a quad massage and then met up with everyone else! The crew is complete: Mom & Dad; Mike & Steph; Uncle Brent, Aunt Penny & Cuz Brooks; TK, Andy & James; Coach Dolan, his wife & kids; plus Callahan, Conor McCullough, Shane & Brad!
Got back to the village just in time to throw on my 3XL podium suit and size 13 podium shoes for the team picture... and then to exchange it for a podium suit that actually fits.
Got in the
Normatech inflating pant legs after that and used the extra-long ones
that, once inflated, were crushing an area that shouldn't be crushed.
Particularly days before the Olympic Village supposedly goes wild.
Anyway, I can't wait for tomorrow. Ezekiel Kemboi, Roba Gari, and the likes!
Wednesday, Aug. 1
Today I ran from the Olympic Village, through the Olympic Park where all the stadiums are, and into Victoria Park where I did a perimeter loop. In the Park it was about a mile, each way, through thousands of people. I actually did a pretty good job staying at a run and keeping my heart rate up. But every time I looked up at the endless crowd it was really daunting.
Met up with Coach Dolan and his family at the mall afterward for a burger and smoothie. I really really can't wait to race, but I'm also so excited for track and field to start! The Olympics are about to get so much better!
Tuesday, July 31
Had coach Dolan's company for the workout today. Having someone on my side was helpful. I felt pretty good during this! Water barriers weren't stellar but they never are in practice. The running was good and that's the important part.
Went to a Lithuania-Nigeria basketball game afterward and cruised around London a bit. I'm enjoying the freedom and the down time here. Also being spotted throughout the city as an Olympian is pretty cool!
Monday, July 30
Woot woot! Still haven't gotten killed crossing streets on runs in London even though I never know which way to look! This morning I left the village at 11 am and was at Bloomberg TV in London's financial district by 11:30 for my first live TV interview. Then another interview with Bloomberg, this time recorded, edited and pretty much coached. He kept telling me to say it again, but more concise, say it again but take this out, say it again, but don't stumble through it. Jeeeez cut me some slack!
Then from Bloomberg TV to the Nike Hospitality Building to pick up MORE gear and stash my stuff while I ran in Regent's Park. Felt pretty good on my run and loved exploring the park on a beautiful day. I could get used to this nomadic life where every run is a new adventure. Washed up briefly in the Hospitality building then walked back to Regent's Park for an NBC30 interview with Kevin Nathan.
Then hitched a ride with the NBC30 crew to Dorset Square for a Princeton Alumni Association of UK meeting right in the square's private garden. Met up with Callahan there and rode the tube back with him to Stratford afterward (what a guy, he stayed on several stops extra just to keep me company and hang out!) Now time for a good night sleep and tomorrow is my final workout before the race! Coach Dolan should be here in time to see it, too. Looking forward to it.
Sunday, July 29
Spiked up in my new Nike Olympic Edition Mambas! I have more pairs of spikes than I know what to do with these days.
wanted to keep this workout fairly easy and maybe unload on the last
one a bit. After #2 I consciously decided to slow down a bit and make
sure they felt smooth. The 45s rep felt good, and the next rep (42s)
felt just as good, so backing off the pace seemed to help. The last 50m
or so of my 5th one the wheels were falling off!
Good relaxing day today, but I need to make an effort to get more sleep. Like 10 hours of sleep. None of this 8-hour night funny business.
Saturday, July 28
Took the tube to Queensway, walked across Hyde Park and to the Royal Museum of Art, which is now the Team USA house. Changed and stashed my stuff there before running in Hyde Park. Had a good exploratory run, came back to the USA house and had a delicious free lunch with all you can eat Chobani! Then took the subway back to the village.
Friday, July 27
Didn't really want to run any slower than 65s even though I planned to. Hurdling went well and it looks good on the video that was taken for me during the workout. Didn't feel springy, but I think with some quicker stuff and some recovery I'll be there soon. Happy with this workout!
Laid low for the rest of the day until the ceremonies. Although I was on my feet from 9pm until almost 2am it was such a great way to really get excited and feel the aura surrounding these games.
Thursday, July 26
Took a 2.5-3 hour bus from Birmingham to the Village this morning! Moved into my new home for the next few weeks and began to unpack and sort through the ridiculous piles of new gear. Had to cut it short to head to practice though. 20 min to the Thames and back along the canal from Mile End Stadium, USA's newly-renovated exclusive training facility.
Tonight at dinner the men's basketball team came through the dining hall and got mobbbbbbed by people. It took Kobe like 5-10 minutes to walk 100m because of all the athletes surrounding him and posing for pictures with him. He was good about it, but I think the team is staying out of the village and only went into the village to see it and let themselves be seen a bit so he better be good about it!
Wednesday, July 25
Woke up at 10am. Was officially out of bed at about noon. Ran on another canal path, this time right next to the hotel. This was actually very similar to the tow path in Princeton, but maybe a little harder, narrower and there's no shoulder between the path and the water. And more urban in a few places. And grosser water (yes, apparently that's possible). But more boats and activity. So basically the similarities end with straight, flat and dirt.
Got a good stretch out and steam room session in afterward. Also today had a visit to wounded soldiers at the hospital, a Team USA karaoke night and a ping pong tournament. Good stuff.
Tuesday, July 24
At Alexander Stadium in Birmingham again at Team USA's training camp. Got there by about 10:45am, did a little warm up jog around Perry Park, then did drills, got my arch taped, strides, then the workout. Arch taping wasn't bad but it was a little tighter than I'd like. I'll have to adjust that for future workouts/opening ceremonies. Workout was intended to be 5 miles at 4:48 pace but I'd be ready to pull the plug after 4. I had a slow lap from 3.75-4 miles and hadn't been feeling good so I stopped. USA's distance coach, Jack Hazen gave me splits afterward that showed it was only a 73.7 which isn't too bad. I think some of these might have been babied a bit though. Anyway, it looks like I ran about 4: 47, 47, 48, 49 for the tempo. I don't know where we're missing a lap from but whatever. Afterward I grabbed a protein shake, a stretch and an ice bath and headed back to the hotel. Tonight we had a free, exclusive showing of Ted just for Team USA. Walking back to the hotel at night as a big group everyone kept staring at us and asking us questions and asking who gets to race Usain. Fun stuff!
Monday, July 23
This morning I took a bus from the Olympic Village in London to the Team USA Track and Field training camp in Birmingham. The accommodations are awesome. The track we use is the Diamond League stadium. Sahweet! Ran from the stadium to the canal and went TPR-Birmingham out and back totaling 4ish miles then TPL-Birmingham out and back totaling 3ish miles. The Tow Path actually wasn't very nice and was difficult to run on, but now I know for the coming days and when I hopefully come back to Birmingham in August for the Diamond League meet.
When I got back to the stadium I did the full hurdle routine followed by 2x40m 2x60m 2x80m, but I guessed on the distances since nothing was marked out. Didn't feel speedy but I think I'm feeling the race/travel combination. Ice bath and steam room afterward.
To add to all this newfound publicity, I've started using Burst.it to share pictures and videos from the games. Check out my page at http://www.burst.me/dc/donn-cabral if you'd like. That's the last promoting I'm going to do in my running log though.
Sunday, July 22
Drove from Szczecin to Berlin this morning. Was the only American on the bus but practiced my Russian with two 400 hurdlers from St. Petersburg. Two hour flight to London and then a 90 minute bus ride to the village. By the time I was checked in it had been about 8 hours total traveling. I got a room to myself in the USA block for tonight. I'll get a different one when I come back on Thursday. I've already broken the showerhead - sorry Nick Symmonds, Cyrus Hostetler, Kyle Alcorn and whoever the 4th person will eventually be.
Went for a run from the village but tried getting directions first which really delayed me. I had hand-drawn maps, suggestions to do my whole 12-miler on the grass field in the village, and whole crews of volunteers arguing about how to get around. Bottom line is getting into and out of this village is going to be annoying. Ended up running along the canal even though it took a while to get there. I wish I had gone the other way and hit the River Thames, but I was told that was way too far so I decided to explore upriver. There was a ton of dodging of people and waiting to get around people since this canal path was very narrow and very crowded. The live music and festivity along the canal was definitely entertaining though.
I taped my foot before this run since during the warm up yesterday I started to feel arch pain if I landed on my mid-foot. Today there were several times where I'd get shots of pain in my arch and heel, but it wasn't as bad during my run. I'll see doctors and trainers tomorrow and hopefully get my calves and feet stretched, rubbed and taken care of.

Let $p$ be prime divisor of order of finite group $G$, and the number of cyclic subgroup of order $p$ be $p+1$.

Is it true the number of cyclic subgroup of order $2p$ is a multiple of $p+1$?

I believe the semidirect product of an elementary abelian group of order 25 with a dihedral group of order 6 and faithful action is a counterexample. This is SmallGroup(150,5) in the GAP or Magma library.
There are 6 subgroups of order 5, 15 of order 2 and 15 cyclic subgroups of order 10. Note that 15 is not a multiple of 6.
More generally, if $q = (p+1)/2$ is odd, then I would expect the semidirect product of elementary $p^2$ with dihedral $2q$ (and faithful action) to be a counterexample. You would have a better chance if you asked whether $t_{2p}$ was a multiple of $(p+1)/2$.

Penn State 2, Colgate 1 [OT]
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Nineteen hours after dropping a heartbreaking 3-2 overtime game, the Nittany Lion women's hockey team returned fire in a 2-1 overtime win over Colgate on Saturday afternoon at Pegula Ice Arena.
Sophomore forward Hannah Hoenshell (Plano, Texas) capped an impressive weekend of play by playing the part of hero, assisting the game-tying goal and notching the first overtime win in Penn State (4-17-2, 1-9-0 CHA) program history. Senior goaltender Nicole Paniccia (Oakville, Ont.) was nearly perfect in net, stopping 39 Colgate (5-14-2, 2-8-0 ECAC) shots for her first victory of the season.
Down 1-0 after Taylor Volpe's third goal of the weekend midway through the second period, Penn State used a Hoenshell pass that deflected off Laura Bowman's (Minnetonka, Minn.) skate into the net to tie the score with 1:55 remaining in the frame.
Hoenshell collected a feed from Amy Petersen (Minnetonka, Minn.) on the left wing and fired to a rushing Bowman as the puck trickled past Raider goaltender Brittney Brooks. The goal was Bowman's sixth of the year, while Petersen and Hoenshell picked up assists No. 6 and 8 on the season.
The third period was a fairly even affair with Colgate earning a 10-7 edge in shots after owning the category 28-9 through the first two stanzas. In overtime, it was Petersen's defense that created Hoenshell's game-winning opportunity.
Petersen picked off a pass on the right-wing boards at the blue line and tossed the puck to her left as Hoenshell went one-on-one with a Raider defender. Hoenshell deftly handled the puck around the Colgate player and swung around Brooks for the game-winning goal, her third tally of the season.
The victory snapped a five-game losing streak and a six-game winless stretch. Penn State's last victory was a 4-1 triumph at Lindenwood on Nov. 23. For Paniccia, she broke a 21-game winless drought dating back to a 10-0 win over Chatham Jan. 4, 2013.
In a fast and physical game where only one penalty was called (Colgate's Hannah Rastrick at 7:57 in the first period), Colgate maintained the pace of play by firing 28 of the game's first 37 shots. Volpe cashed in on a Taylor Craig feed 10:24 into the second period that slipped over Paniccia's shoulder.
Penn State was 0-for-1 on the power play and dominated the faceoff dot, 32-10. Bowman was 11-2, while Sarah Nielsen (Edina, Minn.) was 10-1, Emily Laurenzi (Townsend, Del.) 7-5, Shannon Yoxheimer (Jackson, Mich.) 2-1 and Kendra Rasmussen (Sartell, Minn.) 2-1.
Defensively, the Nittany Lions limited Colgate's quality chances despite the shot disparity by blocking 16 attempts. Lindsay Reihl(Cheshire, Mich.), Stephanie Walkom (Moon Township, Pa.) and Taylor Gross (Colorado Springs, Colo.) led the charge with three blocks each, while Jordin Pardoski (Rochester Hills, Mich.), Jenna Welch (Austin, Texas) and Kelly Seward (Williamsville, N.Y.) stopped two shots each.
The Nittany Lions are off next weekend before returning to College Hockey America play at Syracuse Jan. 24-25 before their final non-conference game at Princeton Jan. 28.

No. 3 Cornell 6, Mercyhurst 4
ERIE, Pa. – The Mercyhurst University women's hockey team saw their unbeaten streak come to an end as the third-ranked Cornell beat Mercyhurst 6-4 on Saturday afternoon.
With the loss, the Lakers fall to 14-6-3 overall on the season and suffered their second loss on home ice this season. Cornell improved to 13-1-3.
Midway through the first period is when the Big Red tallied their first goal of the contest. Taylor Woods finally found a way past junior goaltender Amanda Makela on a power-play goal at the 12:43 mark. Cornell's Jess Brown took the initial shot but it was Woods who picked up the rebound.
Sophomore Jaclyn Arbour answered back quickly with her third goal of the season to score the equalizer on an even-strength goal. Sophomore J'nai Mahadeo moved the puck through the neutral zone to sophomore Megan Whiddon who carried the puck towards Cornell's net. Whiddon attempted a shot at Big Red's goaltender Lauren Slebodnick who gave up a rebound for Arbour.
However three minutes later Cornell tallied two unanswered goals before the end of the opening period to take a 3-1 lead. Brown forced a turnover in the Lakers defensive end for her first goal of the season. Three minutes later, Jillian Saulnier scored another unassisted goal with a slap shot from the hash marks.
In the second, Mahadeo picked up her second assist of the night when sophomore Jenna Dingeldein shot at a wide open net behind Slebodnick at the 4:41 mark. SophomoreEmily Janiga also tabbed an assist when the Lakers narrowed the gap to a 3-2 contest.
The Big Red made the score 5-2 halfway through the second after two more Big Red unanswered goals. Cornell's leading scorer Emily Fulton extended the lead 4-2 followed by Brown's power-play goal at the 11:36 mark. After the two goals, sophomore Julia DiTondo got her chance in net against the Big Red for the remainder of the contest.
Just over a minute before the end of the second period, junior Molly Byrne took back the momentum to the Lakers bench after scoring her first goal of the season. Dingeldein added an assist after passing the puck to Mahadeo at the point. Mahadeo picked up her third assist of the contest after attempting a shot on net but Byrne was there for the rebound with another Mercyhurst back door goal at the 18:38 mark.
The Lakers trailed 5-3 heading into the third period and finally narrowed the Cornell lead to 5-4 at the 16:18 mark with the help of senior Christie Cicero. Cicero only had two shots on net throughout the contest but scored at the 16:18 mark to extend her point-streak to a career-high nine games. Sophomore Emily Janiga and senior Christine Bestland battled at the boards for the puck to allow Cicero to score her eleventh goal of the season.
Mercyhurst continued to hold onto the 5-4 score towards the end of the contest with the help from DiTondo. DiTondo made all 18 saves faced and 12 from the third period. Cornell also had two break-away opportunities from Saulnier and Brown but both were denied by DiTondo.
With two minutes left, the Lakers were sent to the penalty-box when Saulnier broke was taken down on her breakaway. Despite the extra attacker awarded to Cornell, the Lakers had no choice but to pull DiTondo with a little over a minute to play. Saulnier tallied the empty-net power-play goal at the 18:55 mark to seal the loss.
Mercyhurst pulled DiTondo again for the final minute of play, but the Lakers could not find a way past Sledobnick.
Makela suffered her sixth loss in net this season (12-6-3) after allowing five goals on 17 shots faced. DiTondo made 18 saves in the relief.
All told, Cornell outshot the Lakers 36 to 33 throughout all three periods. Cornell has 20 shots attempted on the power-play while Mercyhurst collected 13. Dingeldein and seniorKaleigh Chippy led the team in shots with five, while Janiga and sophomore Jaclyn Arbour collected four.
The Lakers will host ninth-ranked Robert Morris University on Friday, January 24 and Saturday, January 25 at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. Game times are set for 7:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. respectively.

Summer blockbusters are already arriving at local theaters. Meaning many who might need a respite from bombastic but, empty entertainment will only have to go as far as their video store, online queue or rental kiosk for more assured films. So, read ahead to get a jump on those kind of new Indie DVDs and Blu Rays for the first week in May '14.
Now Available:
"Awful Nice"- Not a Mumblecore film (more like a Stumblecore one), finds two brothers at war with each other. First, fighting at their father's funeral, then the reading of the will and then finally over their inheritance-- a rundown lake house close to Branson, MO. Neither awful or nice, this funny feature relies on physical comedy to evoke goofy (and good) laughs. Part of the 30 day rental program which signifies that it is only available to rent on DVD at Family Video stores.
"Like Father, Like Son"- In the grand tradition of great Japanese Drama comes Writer/Director Hirokazu Koreeda's newest picture, an exquisitely detailed story of two very different families who discover that their boys were switched at birth. Definitely upholds the master work of filmmakers like Yasujiro Ozu or Hiroshi Teshigahara with a modernized touch. Available to buy on Import DVD from England with english subtitles.
"Mr. Jones"- A low-budgeted PG-13 Horror flick that delivers scares despite limited resources. Another 'found footage' scenario were a couple of filmmakers set out to make a nature Documentary in a patch of isolated woods and uncover the urban legend and the horrifying sculptures that are the handi-work of someone known only as Mr. Jones. Slowly builds tension in hour one before a grim finale rips it all away with a frenetic freak-out. The creepy POV set-up, along with bold camerawork and the hauntingly artistic crosses certainly make this one to seek out. Another DVD that is part of the 30 day rental program, exclusively available at Family Video.
"The Railway Man"- Currently in theaters however, it is also available on Import DVD (months before a stateside release). Hard to fault this uncompromising Drama based on fact. Colin Firth stars as a former British Officer who was captured and subsequently tortured at a Japanese labor camp during World War II. Now older although still emotionally scared, he sets out to punish the man responsible for these actions. Nicole Kidman co-stars as the women whose love may save both of them.
"Veronica Mars"- The cult TV show becomes a movie via a highly successful (and highly publicized) Kickstarter campaign. Kristen Bell reprises her role of the intrepid teen detective, now a grown-up investigating a new case, at her old High School during her five year reunion. Strictly for fans of the 'Veronica Mars' TV series. Available everywhere on both DVD and Blu Ray.
Win a free DVD of "Mr Jones", courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment! Read, like and share this article on Facebook to enter to win. One contestant will be picked by Tomorrow. Look for the winning announcement on the Pittsburgh Indie Movie Examiner's Facebook page.

New a77M2 user, amazed at the resolution
Maybe it's just me, but I'm shocked at the resolution I'm getting from this new camera. I think my lenses are performing better than on my old a580. I did micro adjust the Tamron 70-300, but it was only +2, I think. Maybe that makes a bigger difference than I thought it would. Or, maybe the focusing system in this camera just delivers where my a580 couldn't. I don't know.
You probably can't tell by these images due to the file size, but the detail is amazing for handheld shots, over long distances, at ISO 400.
Very happy with this new camera so far. Great fun.

This is a new with tags dress. It does have a small makeup mark on the INSIDE of the gown.. where you can't see it from the outside. It does included optional spaghetti straps that you can add if you prefer. It does come with the sash that is pictured and it is completely removable if you prefer. The back has a partial zip, partial corset with thin drawstring. Please refer to the Forever Young website for exact measurements of this gown. The skirt is light and flowy and gives awesome dimension to the bottom. It is very unique in that way. This gown is fairly lightweight without a lot of bulk to it. If you wanted the skirt more full, it would easy to add a slip that would pouf it out.
