A late goal from Layvin Kurzawa spared Monaco's blushes as the Ligue 1 title challengers were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw at Lorient.
Defender Kurzawa scored his fourth goal of the season to salvage a point for the principality club, who are now five points adrift of league leaders Paris Saint-Germain following their 2-0 win over Bordeaux on Friday.
Monaco fell behind after 12 minutes as Lorient striker Vincent Aboubakar headed home his 12th goal of the campaign from Kevin Monnet-Paquet's right-wing cross, only for Valere Germain to level matters four minutes before the break.
Aboubakar turned provider as Lorient regained the lead after 73 minutes, squaring for Jeremie Aliadiere to tap home from close range, but Kurzawa denied the hosts all three points when he converted Lucas Ocampos' low delivery.
Saint-Etienne piled the pressure on Lille in the race for UEFA Champions League qualification as they overcame relegation-threatened Valenciennes 3-0.
Midfielder Renaud Coahde opened the scoring with a scrappy finish from a corner in first-half injury time, before long-range efforts form Benjamin Corgnet and Yohan Mollo moved Saint-Etienne to within one point of Lille, who travel to Nice on Sunday.
Montpellier pulled nine points clear of the relegation zone, as Rolland Courbis' side extended their unbeaten league run to five games with a 4-2 success at Reims.
A Joris Marveaux strike and a double from attacking midfielder Remy Cabella put the visitors three up inside 55 minutes, but Reims got back into the game thanks to a Floyd Ayite strike and an own goal from Montpellier defender Abdelhamid El Kaoutari.
But any hopes of a comeback were killed off on 69 minutes, as Cabella played in M'Baye Niang to score his fourth goal since joining from Milan in January.
A header from Zambia defender Stopilla Sunzu condemned Nantes to a 1-0 defeat against Sochaux, while Ryad Boudebouz scored an 88th-minute penalty as Bastia won 3-2 against Guingamp, who have now gone eight league games without a win despite a double from Rachid Alioui.
Elsewhere, bottom club Ajaccio drew 1-1 at Evian thanks to a 90th-minute goal from forward Junior Tallo.

The Collector Reviews
June 9, 2016
love the first one can't wait till collection 3 comes out sec one was good hope the third one is a great film
½ May 18, 2016
A breath of fresh air in the recently stagnant slasher horror sub-genre. The Collector brings in a new psychopath with a new gimmick and it is well worth your time.
February 24, 2016
The collector is a typically frustrating horror film, focusing on needless gore and creating deaths from stupidity rather than ingenuity. It plays with ideas that break the follow, and has character play out scenes unrealistically and predictably. In its silliness, it is a bore and an effort to watch.
½ February 19, 2016
Really exhibits the worst tropes of the slasher-horror genre, but it does have a few pros: Josh Stewart is easy to empathize with in the lead roll. The soundtrack kicks ass. While the camerawork is mediocre for the most part, it has some occasionally outstanding moments.
½ February 6, 2016
Though it does feature some inventive kills and a creepy villain, The collector relies too heavily on blood baths and begging comparisons to better torture porns, particularly Saw (this was actually going to be a prequel at first hand).
½ January 17, 2016
It took me a couple of viewings to appreciate this. I don't care for the Saw franchise, which this was intended to be part of. This is more atmospheric and features an intriguing main character that is a formidable match for the titular villain.
January 2, 2016
Could it be that others are finally learning from the makers of Korean horror? This would suggest so. This is one of the nastiest horrors I've seen in the English language. This isn't particularly scary but it is disturbing. Nice one mr director.
½ December 14, 2015
This movie was just wickedly cruel and I loved it for that.
½ November 9, 2015
Not a bad little horror flick - almost made the 8/10 but not quite. Billed as a potential prequel to the Saw series, this movie demonstrates why with its relentless use of torture like booby traps. The scene is all set up very nicely with a young criminal intent on stealing from the family he is working for, only to find that someone is intruding within the house at the same time. The latter burglar however, is looking to take something far more valuable than a previous gemstone, as he wants the wilting body of one of the households victims. Contrary to a burglars normal emotions, the young (more humane) villain then takes it upon himself to try and save the family from this more psychopathic invader, only to see his efforts in vain as the bodies fall victim to several of the innovative death traps laid about the house. You can really see how this was potentially linked in with the Saw franchise, but not enough focus was on the killing machines mentality for me. Saw is about an intelligent yet deluded mastermind, whereas little is established with regards to the identity of this assailant and he appears to kill for killings sake, and for sport, as opposed to the 'tests' that Jigsaw establishes. I guess it's a tad disappointing that the ending doesn't go as far as to explain who the murderer was, and why he was planning such drastic measures, but I'm always up for a sequel if that's what it was heading towards. This was much better than I had predicted, and is staking a claim to be one of the more credible horrors of late, yet I do feel it was a good decision to keep it separate from the Saw franchise, as it is missing a touch of intellectual class that those movies add.
½ October 3, 2015
Lots of gore but still entertaining
October 1, 2015
A suspenseful watch, but a little gory for my taste.
½ August 15, 2015
Grade = 7/10
Very gory and very inventive death scenes. Underrated horror film.
Grade = 7/10
½ July 24, 2015
An interesting enough combination of the so-called torture porn genre mixed with a home invasion plot. Nothing new, but it does have style. [B-]
July 3, 2015
Fans of the "Saw" franchise's style of inventive and grisly kills paired with a more anonymous villain will fall in love with "The Collector". Others need not apply.
March 31, 2015
Perhaps not the most original of storylines given there's so many of these types of horror movies made nowadays, but it is inventive enough with its subplots to create the feeling of something new.
March 27, 2015
Finally a slasher movie that is as original for these days as it can be. Shocking and genuinely scary at times, the deaths made me twitch while I self-sadistically wanted more. But I didn't have to wait for long.
½ December 28, 2014
It's unfortunate that this film will be consistently mislabeled as a torture porn. While it did come out around the same time as the saw films and the Hostel films, and it was written and directed by one of the writers of the saw franchise, This film is not driven by it's torture elements. Yes, the film has scenes of torture but it also has plot. Real plot. not a shallow transparent script that is used as an excuse to deliver gargantuan amounts of gore and needless over-the-top death scenes. This film isn't driven by it's special effects. The violence isn't what makes this film unsettling. This film makes people uneasy because of the thrilling plot points, action sequences and acting. The script is original, and I feel that the film is written off because it happens to be in close proximity (time wise) to a very cheap sub-genera. I loved this movie.
December 13, 2014
An inventive entertaining horror flick. It may carry on further with to tire porn, but it's effective with a good character and a interesting villain.
December 7, 2014
The Collector is such an underrated horror movie. I skipped out of work one day & went & seen this not knowing anything about it. Being the only person in the theater, I was pretty i was pretty freaked out. The level of suspense in this movie is unbearable. From the mastery of boobie traps, the creepy screechy sounf he makes, his shiny eyes, the gore, the darkness, & the fact of endangerment of children. Easily one of my favorite horror/thrillers. DO NOT sleep on this cat & mouse masterpiece. Well, goodluck sleeping at all afterwards. hehe.
December 6, 2014
Not putting too much expectation in the first place, but surprisingly amused with the gore and tense it brings to the audience. Though The Collector might not bring you as much or nearly none plot twists like Saw, the gore, the tense, everything else could be as enjoyable like Saw.

SEOUL, March 10. /TASS/. North Korean military forces fired two short-range ballistic missiles from its eastern coast into the Sea of Japan on early Thursday, South Korea's Yonyhap news agency reported.
The news agency reported citing the country's Joint Chief of Staff (JCS) that the two missiles were fired from North Korea's Hwanghae Province and after flying a distance of some 500 kilometers (over 310 miles) fell into the sea to the northeast of the country's eastern port city of Wonsan.
The short-range ballistic missiles were launched at 5:20 a.m. local time (20:30 GMT Wednesday), according to the agency.
"The military is keeping close tabs on the situation and prepared to deal with any North Korean provocations," Yonhap quoted the JCS as saying.
Tokyo has resolutely condemned North Korea's launches of two short-range ballistic missiles on Thursday morning, while Japan's Defense Ministry announced that further provocations of such nature were possible on behalf of Pyongyang, Kyodo news agency reported.
"It is extremely regrettable," Kyodo cited Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida as saying. "Japan will continue to coordinate with related countries and take all possible measures to gather information."
Defense Minister Gen Nakatani said that "Further provocative act cannot be ruled out," according to Kyodo.
Last week North Korea also held several launches of short-range ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan, shortly after the UN Security Council announced a new set of sanctions against the country.
On March 2, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution, which considerably toughened sanctions against North Korea in response to Pyongyang's continued nuclear tests and the launch of a carrier rocket with a satellite.
The document denounced the acts at the issue, which violated the four previous UN Security Council resolutions Nos. 1718, 1874, 2087 and 2094 passed between 2006 and 2013.
The resolution banned the imports of coal, iron ore, titanium, vanadium, gold and other precious metals from North Korea, and imposed embargo on the delivery of all types of aviation fuel to the country. The document obliged also all countries to examine cargoes bound to North Korea on the subject of prohibited goods and technologies.
The UN Security Council ruled to toughen arms embargo on North Korea as well as to expand financial sanctions on the country's banking sector.
The document also widened its previously imposed embargo on the delivery of luxury items to North Korea. In particular, the embargo now applies to expensive watches, snowmobiles and yachts.
The North Korean authorities announced on February 7 that they had launched a carrier rocket with the satellite Kwanmenson (the Bright Star). A month before the launch, Pyongyang held the fourth underground nuclear test over the past ten years.
The UN Security Council resolutions prohibit Pyongyang from engaging in any activity linked with nuclear technologies and the development of ballistic missiles.

Kanye West to Face Marion Knight in Court Over Party Shooting Incident
Rap heavyweights Kanye West and Marion Knight aka Suge are set to meet in court over a shooting incident at a Miami Beach, Florida party. Death Row Records founder Knight claims party host West and the owners of the Shore Club failed to provide adequate security at the star-studded 2005 bash, where he was shot in the leg.
Police investigating the incident still haven't been able to identify who fired the shot and no one has ever been arrested. So Knight has taken aim at West and the club owners and is seeking damages of over $1 million to cover his medical bills and the cost of replacing jewelery that went missing at the venue after he was shot.
The fallen rap mogul's lawyer Marc Brumer says, "He's (Knight) an icon in the music industry. He walks in a room and he lights it up. He had an expectation of security there. How someone came with a gun into a very VIP party, that just doesn't meet the smell test in life."
And, after fighting for justice for over four years, U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz agrees Knight should have his day in court and has scheduled a trial date in Miami for December. West and the Shore Club owners have previously denied Knight's claims of negligence. In his lawsuit, Knight claims those behind the party should have been aware of his reputation, and his presence at the bash could produce a "dangerous environment".

TTC tests new numerical signage system
CTV Toronto
Published Sunday, March 2, 2014 3:49PM EST
In a bid to find a "better way," as its slogan goes, the Toronto Transit Commission is testing out a new numerical signage system on its subway routes.
The Yonge-University-Spadina line will be referred to on signs and maps as Line 1, and the Bloor-Danforth line will be referred to as Line 2.
The change, which was proposed to the City of Toronto in October was rolled out at the Bloor-Yonge Station this weekend.
The change, which was supported by the TTC Board is part of a gradual shift that may eventually see all the lines go from its current road-based naming system to a numerical one.
- The Scarborough RT line will be referred to on signs and maps as Line 3
- The Sheppard line will be Line 4
In many larger cities, such as New York and Paris, where subways lines are often more complicated, subway routes are identified by numbers.
According to the TTC, a numerical system allows for a "simple, non-fussy approach" to customer communication, that also emphasizes the existing colour-code system.
"This is about navigating the system, making it easy to get around: not for our everyday users who know how to use the system and know where they're going, but for the casual rider, visitors to the city and for those whose first language is not English," Ross told CTV Toronto in October.
The TTC had said the new signage will stand side-by-side with existing signs, without "conflict or confusion," to allow for gradual roll-out of the change. If all goes well, the TTC said St. George Station will be updated in the coming months before the numerical system is rolled out to the entire system.

If you read comics in the 80's/90's: Remember those one-off issues where our heroes did fun stuff just because they could? The X-Men play baseball, go shopping, or just head to a bar to grab a drink?

What do mainstream comics look like? What appeals to "the average reader"? Bryan Lee O'Malley and Leslie Hung (Snotgirl), Jamie McKelvie (The Wicked + The Divine), Brandon Thomas (Horizon), and Jim Zub (Wayward) are making books that appeal to anyone and everyone and are redefining the idea of mainstream comics in the process.
Arriving in October…
Death, denial, and the darkness within. What's got into Farrah?
Fan favorite Jim Zub (Wayward, Thunderbolts) and newcomer Djibril Morissette-Phan tear into the heart of Hollywood in GLITTERBOMB, a dramatic horror story about fame and failure.
Nine months ago I posted an update on how Wayward was selling in the market and compared it to a similar release period for Skullkickers, my breakout creator-owned series that launched in 2010. I wanted to get this update pulled together sooner, but things have been busy, in a very good way. Lots of great new work-for-hire projects on tap along with a small break to clear my head. But now that the summer is well underway I've had a bit of time to dig back into the numbers and, as always, I think it's interesting to look at how it's developing.
The comic market is jam-packed with product. There's a cornucopia of choices for readers every week, with more titles fighting for shelf space and a sense that grabbing market share requires constant reboots, renumbering, and controversy in order to move the needle.
Keeping a creator-owned title consistent and making it successful without the marketing muscle or global movie icon status Marvel or DC have is tough. Wayward launched quite strongly and by the end of our second story arc it looked like we'd found a relatively stable sales level. Let's see how that's continued with arc 3:
Wayward #11-15 follows what a lot of industry people would call 'standard market attrition'. The start of each story arc sees a small boost and then the numbers continue to settle a bit lower each month after that. You'll see a similar curve for a lot of superhero titles, which is why there's a tendency to hit that 'relaunch' button more and more frequently. Raising awareness on a title and doing a round of press is expected for a new #1, while it's much-much harder for readers, retailers, and reviewers to take notice of a #11 or a #16.
Still, that bar graph doesn't look too bad. It's a graceful easing after issue 1. What does that mean for our single issue profitability?
Yikes. Okay, that definitely doesn't look good. In Wayward arc 3 we started skimming along the threshold where printing and distribution costs start to really eat into profitability. As I've talked about before, the cost of creating a product like a comic varies depending on your 'price per unit'. The more you're able to print (and sell), the cheaper each one costs, vastly improving your profitability. Once you dip below a certain key threshold, that balance between production cost and profitability starts to work against you. Even though our sales in arc 3 only dropped 21.2%, the profitability on those single issues dropped 67.7% because we fell below that ideal balance.
So, you look at that and it seems pretty obvious – Wayward's days must be limited. We probably shouldn't even be producing a fourth story arc because we're going to drop right off that chart into unprofitability. At best we should wrap our story up by issue 20 and call it a day, right?
Let's look at our trade paperback sales and you'll see why.
Since the first Wayward trade paperback launched in March 2015, we've seen explosive growth in our collection sales. Unlike single issue sales where initial orders define the health of a series, trade paperback sales have the potential to be 'long tail'; They continue to grow rather than shrink. In fact, in Q3-Q4 2015 we sold more trade paperbacks than we did at launch. Wayward is consistently picking up new readers and quite a few of them are moving on to buy Volume 2 and 3 or our Deluxe Edition hardcover (which includes volume 1 + 2 + 80 pages of back matter + poster all in one spiffy over-sized package).
Let's compare cost versus sales:
In late 2014 Image invested in a large print run of Wayward Vol. 1, confident the series could continue to sell as long as we were consistent with our release schedule. With each subsequent sales period you can see how that's working: the collection back stock continues to move, making each six month block more profitable than the last. By Q3-Q4 2015 we're making more than double what's been spent on printing, shipping, and storage while digital sales continue to grow, increasing our overall readership.
Skullkickers had six month periods where the collections made more than was being spent on printing and distribution, but early expenditures dug a deep hole we had trouble getting out of and the overall margins were much thinner. We finished the series, but barely broke even when it was all said and done.
If all you saw was analysis of monthly single issue sales, Wayward would look like a middle-of-the-pack Image title with unremarkable numbers. It has a small but dedicated readership in single issue format (and they mean a lot to us), but the bigger story is the success it's seeing in collection sales.
Wayward does really well in comic shops, book stores, libraries, online retailers, and conventions in a collected format where people get a chunk of story all at once and then anticipate what comes next. Our 'Buffy in Japan' sales pitch mixed with high quality art/story, good word of mouth, YALSA recognition, and our ability to balance on a shaky tightrope between American comics and manga is working for us.
I would love for our single issue sales to be higher (and I'm hoping more of our collection readers will get impatient and subscribe at their local comic shops) but right now our trade paperback sales are strong enough that we can continue to push forward. Steven can continue to make Wayward his full time job, Tamra, Marshall, Zack (and now Ann who is helping with Irish lore research), and our alt cover artists all get paid, and I get to keep building this supernatural adventure series chapter by chapter, arc by arc.
As I've mentioned many times before, tracking the life or death of one creator-owned comic series isn't an accurate barometer for the industry as a whole, but I do think Wayward is following several trends worth noting:
The Long Tail:The importance of trade paperback collections for the long term viability of a series is undeniable and I think that trend is going to continue as the market keeps expanding beyond traditional comic shops. Image has done a masterful job at leveraging the visibility of The Walking Dead, Saga, Sex Criminals, The Wicked + The Divine and many other hit series to build trust in the book and library market for their collections. Every Image title has benefited from that rising tide.
Digital Is Growth: As many people have noted, digital isn't killing the traditional print market. Yes, there are people switching to digital, but the majority of digital comic readers seem to be "additive", new or returning readers supporting work rather than pirating it. Digital may only account for 11.28% of our sales, but profit-wise it's a valuable addition that helps keep our series running.
Single Issues Matter, But They're Not The Whole Story: Single issue sales still have a place in this market. Serializing stories over months builds an audience, builds market awareness, and gives readers more options even if trade paperbacks are the go-to choice for more and more fans. That said, I think the emphasis placed on single issue sales to determine success/failure is short-sighted and damaging. Right now it feels like the Diamond 300 chart and the New York Times Best Seller List for Graphic Novels are the only two metrics people follow and neither one covers a broad enough picture of sales and growth. The 'single issue success' mentality leads to the kind of boom-or-bust speculation and variant cover glut that has destabilized the market before and could do so again.
The Middle of the Pack Is Important: The prose publishing world has slowly eaten away at the idea of "mid-list authors" and I think comics should be careful not to slip into a similar mindset. Comic sales continue to grow in a market where many other categories struggle and the best way to keep those gains from being clawed back is by continuing to build out the market with variety rather than sinking all development into a narrow field of "hit-makers" or Hail Mary-style events/ controversies/ reboots/ renumberings.
Wayward #16, beginning our fourth story arc, arrives in late September. Glitterbomb #1, my new Hollywood horror series, launches earlier that same month. I'm hopeful for my own personal growth and the continued strength of the industry as a whole. Tell people about the books you feel are worth investing in and support the kind of industry you want to see now and into the future.
If you found this post interesting, feel free to let me know here (or on Twitter), share the post with your friends and consider buying some of my comics, donating to my Patreon, or buying comics from me in person if you see me at a convention.

We are off to Cambodia soon. Any suggestions on books to read. I don't want anything dry and heavy but am thinking of a fiction book which has a good dose of history and/or culture included to give me a taste of the country. There is plenty of info around re The Killing Fields but I know little about Cambodia outside of that. I am probably more interested in finding out more about Khmer culture.

As more html is appended to the container, the container scrolls to the bottom.
My problem is that the html stops getting shown after a while in the div, even though the alert is popping up with the correct value.
Am i implementing this incorrectly or am i using the wrong control to do this?
I am using asp.net & c#.
Here is the code i am using to find and enter html into a div (message is an input parameter of the function):

This GAME is Freakin AWESOME!
BEST GAME EVER!!!The graphics are awesome and so is the story line!
HOLY FUCK I finally just got the M249 SAW! Goddamn that was annoying! It was really hard to get because as I'm shooting people, Jerkoff in the motherfucking mech (P-153) wouldn't leave me alone!!! FUCK!!! I literally died at least 6 times trying to get the 50 kills. It was easy to kill the mercs, because I had the dual XM-Supermags (the pistols that have exploding bullets). But I swear, I was about to abandon my quest for the gun altogether, since Jerkoff was pissing me off so much. Overall an excellent game (+5 stars), I'm forever playing it while I'm waiting for people to message me back on other sites. But VERY annoying and tedious to get all the guns (-1 star).
its a vary good game

Terrorism will endure, but so will our nation
Our daughter ran the Boston Marathon and crossed the finish line 15 minutes before the blasts occurred. That evening, I called and talked to her for about one minute, and she was sobbing. The next day, she and her husband said that she had visited with a triage nurse who mentioned he had never in his life seen anything as tragic.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all the doctors, nurses, first responders and those who witnessed these terrible sounds and sights on this beautiful day in Boston. These images will be with them for the rest of their lives.
We killed Osama bin Laden about two years ago, but that will not stop terrorism around the world.
Let's all try to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave.

U.S. Senate let down the American people
Political capital, won or lost, is being counted after the Senate's defeat of the universal-background-check bill ("Senate delivers stunning defeat to Obama on guns," April 18). Opponents offered little beyond saying that the bill didn't address the real problem. But the fact remains that a lot of innocent children and teachers have died tragically and that still isn't enough to move Congress. I fear we have lost our ability to collectively act selflessly and problem-solve intelligently.
STEVE MARK, Minnetonka

It's time to remove all of the safeguards that allow lawmakers to roam the halls of Congress knowing they are free from gun violence. Install the same security doors that schools have, and let them take the chance that no deranged killer with an AR-15 will be able break through. Common-sense gun safety laws would be passed before day's end.
MARY FRASER, Eagan
• • •
The Senate delivered a saddening defeat to all of us who hoped for a turning point in America's delusional belief that an armed populace is a safe populace. It delivered a maddening defeat to all of those who believe that a small step in the right direction was a positive one. It delivered a reaffirming defeat to all those who had feared that there were no more brave men and women in the Senate. But worse, it delivered a resounding victory to the NRA and its paranoid followers.

Attorney general did Minnesota a big favor
May I remind Dr. James LaRoy that a year ago Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson went to bat for the patients (including me) of Fairview Hospitals who had been bullied into making illegal upfront payments while waiting for emergency treatments, leading to the CEO's downfall ("Heath care merger was played for politics," April 17). I applaud her watchdog approach to Fairview. The current health care climate may require a merger at some point, but this recent event felt like bullying by Sanford Health.

Are park fees really unfair to developers?
Last Sunday's article on builders was almost comical ("Builders call park fees wildly unfair," April 14). For years, cities have handed tax breaks to businesses and developers as an incentive to build in their cities. These breaks often exceeded the return for the city. To recoup these lost revenues, cities have mostly raised taxes on property owners, but they've also raised other fees. As a Minneapolis property owner, my tax burden seems to go up every time a sports franchise sneezes. How about we all just pay our fair share?

Alcohol, tobacco are bad; pulltabs are fine?
Minnesota lawmakers tell us they want to substantially increase taxes on tobacco and alcohol, arguing that this would cover the actual cost to the state of these so-called vices. Yet, they also convene a panel to figure out how to get their constituents to gamble more so they can help subsidize a billionaire's dream stadium. I wonder who will cover the actual cost of that state-subsidized vice? Is there no morality, common sense or accountability left anywhere in our government?

Let's keep talking about reform with fairness
Kudos to Mike Meyers for the entertaining, informative and useful anniversary piece on the federal income tax ("The income tax at 100," April 21). He highlighted that in the last 30 years, effective tax rates for the top 1 percent of taxpayers dropped to 28.9 percent from 35.1 percent, and for the rest of the taxpayers from 22 percent to 17.4 percent. The GOP, the chambers of commerce and groups associated with the interests of the richer among us continue to talk about "an increasing tax burden." Taxes are a critical part of our society and our democracy.
