|Absolutely worth doing. One of those upper pitches--similar to Three Doves--often overlooked because lower part is average. What I most recall is the pure white face right after the roof. Vertical, thin, exposed.

|The hardest move on the first pitch - 15 feet or so off the ground - is poorly protected, but after that the gear is good and there are great holds, fun moves, and nice exposure.

|The first pitch that is just to right of Three Vultures is actually the first pitch of Face to Face. I have always used this to access the upper pitch of No Glow as it keeps a more consistent grade. It also quite a good pitch and very much worth doing. There is no gear for about 20 feet but it is very easy, low angle and has holds. A very good link up.

|Not having been on the 1st pitch for over 20 years, I'll be happy to defer to more recent experience. I did this back in the day of the Swain guide which is notoriously vague about some routes.

|Linked P1 of Face to Face with P2 of No Glow. P2 is just awesome. A great traverse to get on to the face, an almost ladder like climb to a beautiful white roof. Pull the roof (Beta warning: undercling the corner with your left hand, streeeeetch like crazy with your right hand and just get your little fingers on the sweetest edge you will ever great, get up on tippy toes and sink your fingers into the jug. At 5'2" it was a real stretch for me. Great climb

I think pitch one of No Glow is well worth doing. It is pretty standard 5.4-5.5 Gunks face climbing, with many horizontals and no big standout moments. But it is very pleasant, certainly on a par with the first pitch of CCK or Arrow or any number of other climbs. I would not suggest P1 to an aspiring 5.4 leader, though, because the first pro is at least 15 feet off the ground. The climbing to this point is quite easy but a new leader might be unnerved.
P2 is great. If you can't make the reach, move your feet up. I reached left, underclinged right. After you pull the overhang there's a nice move up with smearing feet, then it's pretty smooth sailing.

I agree with SethG about P1 being a worthwhile 5.4+ Gunks climb in its own right -- but not for new leaders. Even a leader experienced leading Gunks 5.9s with a well-tuned Gunks rack should expect lots of places for thought about protection and moves, not just a little scamper up the start of P2.
While I agree that there was a section of P1 not far off the ground where it was not well protected, I did not think the hardest moves on P1 were in that section. (also my view is that the "flake" about 40 ft up in the desctription above on this page, sort of points toward the right, just below an overhang).
A hint for P2 is to start by going up the Left-facing corner to the Left of the roof directly over the P1 top belay/rap station. Then make a not very well-protected (or should we say "unprotected"?) traverse Right to get above that roof.
Crux of P2 seemed to me well protected, which likely helps the popularity of this climb. While making the long reach is critical for the leader, I doubt it's strictly necessary for the follower -- provided the leader hangs a non-short sling (or slings) off the obvious protection just above.

|Super fun second pitch and, although the crux is well protected, make sure your second can handle a 5.5ish unprotected traverse that could send them to a nasty swing. It looks like double ropes could completely alleviate this problem and would give your second more options post-crux as well.

|I thought the section above the crux on P2 was a bit run-out.
By SethG
Sep 19, 2013
I think I am done with No Glow. The second pitch scares me, for two reasons:
1. I have always been sort of creeped out by the big sickle/flake that is just sitting on a very narrow shelf right above the crux move. You yard on this flake to get established above the roof, and there are no footholds so you have to smear and pull out, not down, to some extent.
2. There is a loose block just leaning against the wall two moves from the top, a little to the right. It is Texas-shaped and about three and a half feet wide. I absent-mindedly touched it, barely, last Sunday and the block moved. It is NOT attached. It could go at any time.
You can avoid both of these features. If you don't use the sickle/flake at the crux, I'm guessing the crux will be much much harder. I don't think it will be 5.9- any more. (The two pins will still protect you though.) At the top of the cliff, you can easily avoid the loose block by staying to the left. Please don't go near this block, it is very dangerous. I don't even want to rap there any more.

|Second pitch is absolutely fantastic! If you climb it right, you can avoid some of the dangers (avoid flakes mentioned by SethG and don't fall on the 5.5 traverse at the start of P2- find the good crimps and solid feet) but make sure both leader and follower are solid.

|Major rockfall from P2 of No Glow, May 2014.
By Andy Casler

rating: 5.9 5c 17 VI 17 HVS 5a
I heard the May 4, 2014 rock fall while I was walking on the carriage road. I had followed P1 the day before. The rock fell onto the spot where I had belayed my leader from.
I climbed P2 on May 21, 2014 and saw that it's the not huge, precarious flake that you need to mantle off of to get through the crux that fell. Instead there's a discoloration just at the last moves of the climb, marking the place where the rock the fell used to sit. The climb is still a 5.9.
There's no gear for about 10-15 feet after the crux, and it's tempting to plug gear behind the big flake, but very unsafe. A lead fall may generate enough force to dislodge the ~1,000 pound thing, potentially severing your rope and killing anyone who's at the No Glow's P1 belay area.
I would recommend climbing this only on a day when the cliff isn't busy.

P2 can be a popular rappel route, so be aware that the rap goes straight thru the crux of the climb, and climbers below the crux are not visible from people rappelling.
P2 itself is worth doing, the crux is well protected and short, with a little run out above it (don't place gear in the flake).
The opening moves of P2 will probably keep some parties off this climb, the first place you want to place gear is after the insecure traverse onto the face, at which point you're 15+ feet over the GT ledge. You could get a piece in the corner before the traverse, but you'd just set yourself up for a bad pendulum fall and severe rope drag for the rest of the climb.

|Does the bolted rap mentioned in the route description start with the cables on the tree at the top? Or is there now a bolt anchor somewhere near by? The cable seems solid but its worth knowing that you just barely make it to the next ledge with a 60.
By Kurtz
Mar 17, 2016
|Yes, SpencerB. The No Glow rappels start at the thick metal cable strung around two trees. The first rapp is a rope stretcher (with a single 60m rope) to the GT and bolted chains. The second rappel is a little shorter and also ends at a nice set of bolted chains at a small ledge. The third rappel gets you to the ground.

I just lead this route for the first time yesterday, and I took into account the notes of caution in this thread.
1) The big Texas-shaped block is gone, so that's not scary.
2) The pitons seemed stable. I wouldn't want to take a long whipper on either of them, though. However there is solid pro under the crux that would keep you off the deck in case the worst should happen. Also, the pins on the route are the old coated Stannards, so I think they've held up to much corrosion.
3) Above the crux, I agree that the giant flake out right is tempting, but I didn't find it much more difficult to stay left and avoid it altogether. Just search around for the good crimpers.
Also, when I got to the crux and the top, I found a giant crowd of new climbers rappelling down. One of them threw their rope in my face without calling "rope"! Not sure there is much to be done about heavy traffic, but it is certainly a hazard of the route.

Upon my return from seeing Cars 2 last week, I've seen a slew of tweets and comments about how terribly, horribly, no good it is.
Torture! Violence! Booze references!
No, no - not the booze!
I'm the first to admit that I don't really like the first Cars movie. Actually, I walked out of the theater with Quinlan when it first came out because holy crap it was boring.
But in the most cliche' of circumstances, I had a son, who liked fast cars, and so we gave it another try.
Surprise, they all love it. Even the girls.
(I still don't get it. Plot? Wherefore art thou?)
So this time around, I was thrilled to see a little intrigue. A little story line that required some thinking. And a completely new movie that didn't rely on the first one.
And so was my near 5-year old son, who might just be the most anxious movie goer ever. Quite a risk when you take a kid on a 5 hour plane ride to go see a new movie.
Yes, he was a little nervous, particularly at the beginning which was a little like the opening of a James Bond movie - though the hot agent was a Fiat. And no sexy girls with names that could double as female body parts.
Just a strong, smart female character named Holly Shiftwell.
There was a questionable interrogation scene (or torture depending on who you ask) where a car ends up getting killed. You don't actually see it. Just flames.
I definitely noticed it though my son didn't at all.
And then there are guns and rockets, which is pretty common place around my house, since I gave up long ago on trying to stop my kid from making toy guns out of Legos or wanting the water gun pool toy.
Even Margot wanted the same Spiderman gun as her brother on our recent trip to Universal Studios.
So she has one too.
I distinctly remember a discussion amongst bloggers about kids and toy guns, with the seasoned moms of older boys probably giggling at us newbies who were "Oh hell no guns not ever no way uh uh mister" as they gently told us that it's nearly impossible to avoid.
And indeed, after my son showed no interest in most kids shows, my husband showed him an old episode of Transformers and I showed him the first Star Wars (or maybe it's the 4th? I can't keep up with all that prequel nonsense), and since then, he's been playing all sorts of rocket warrior robot missile pretend play.
And my girls have too.
For us, it's opened up the discussion about a lot of things - war, soldiers, yes, even gun safety. Not just because we're a military family. But because it's a part of life.
But a lot of it is just how kids play. How my husband played as I kid. How I played as a kid. How a lot of us played and didn't suffer harm, anxiety, or perhaps worse, a nonchalant view of violence and kids.
I think we often sell our kids short - not in what they can understand if we explain it, but what they already know.
And their astute ability to separate reality from fiction.
From a robot shooting another robot with a gigantic machine gun.
Or a talking tow truck saving his friend with a couple of rockets.
We as parents have to determine what's right for our kids based on knowing them best. But I wonder if sometimes we aren't too sensitive to what we think they won't like or be able to handle because it's too hard for us. And not necessarily for them.

RESULTS I - Multithreading performance with different input size
The below figures show the performance behavior of each program using different multithreading settings on Hopper and Carver. The y-axis labeled with "B-rate" represents the throughput per unit time and is calculated by the following equation:
((input size per task) * (number of tasks)) / (total runtime)
The x-axis shows increasing number of input sequence data. For the runs on Hopper, we used 24 cores from the allocated node and varies the number of tasks / threads. For Caver, we used 8 cores. The legend of (p x t) means p tasks with t threads. For example, "4 tasks x 2 threads" means each program is forked to four processes and each process runs in two threads.
Figure 1 and Figure 2 show how blastn performs in terms of the b-rate metric on Hopper and Carver. Interestingly, it is shown that the b-rate is degraded when more threads are used and increasing the query size results in increasing the b-rate. However, the rates are saturated around 1,600 sequences and starts decreasing on both Hopper and Carver. First of all, multithreading doesn't improve the throughput. For all the experiments, runs with one thread always show the best performance. The BLAST program consists of three steps: (i) scan for matches between fixed size words, (ii) extend each matching word as an ungapped alignment on the condition that there is another word match nearby, and (iii) perform gapped alignment for those matches that passed the second step. Note that the multithreading is only implemented for the word matching step of blastn. The construction of separate hash tables for each thread in order to do the word matching and then merging those tables for the next step (i.e. ungapped alignment) has large overhead and explains this trend.
The saturation points in the curves are explained by the physical memory limitations on the compute nodes. FYI, Hopper provides 32GB main memory per node (1.33GB per core) and Carver has 24GB memory space for the "smallmem" configuration (3 GB per core). It is clearly shown that the multithreaded runs of blastn have more overhead than single threaded runs. Also, the matching step scans through all subject databases. If each thread needs to access different databases, that can also undermine the memory sharing advantage of multithreading because different part of the database should be loaded.
The steep increase of the throughput with smaller query size can be explained by the two ways. First, blastn is quite I/O intensive. As long as there is memory available, it can load the data into memory and avoid writing to disk. Second, blastn deals with short query sequences effectively: it concatenates set of input sequences as long one to maximize performance. Until the saturation point, smaller number of queries can take advantage of this feature. For example, we've done a rapid comparison between BLAST and BLAST+ using nt and a short query sequence:
$ time blastall -p blastn -i gene.fa -d nt -o out.blst
$ time blastn -db nt -query gene.fa -out out.blstp
The BLAST+ is somehow faster, for a single sequence against nt database. Again it has been reported that significant speed-ups are possible when querying with long sequences. A whole genome sequence is used as a query for next experiment and BLAST+ shows 30x speedup over the traditional BLAST implementation.
$ time blastall -a 4 -p blastn -i NC_011353.fna -d nt -o out.blst
$ time blastn -num_threads 4 -db nt -query NC_011353.fna -out out.blstp
Figure 3 and Figure 4 demonstrate the behaviors of blastp. Again, enabling multithreading doesn't seem to be useful in terms of the b-rate. Further, the query size is not related with the rate as well. This may due to the compute-intensive nature of blastp in which a very large amount of word candidates should be scanned thought the database and recorded in the hash table. So we see the opposite behavior from the blastn case, loading data into memory, which significantly decreased the I/O overhead in blastn, does not improve the performance of blastp.
Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the performance of rpsblast. The trends are quite similar with the case of blastp except for the run with smallest query input. That can be explained by that the loading PSSMs takes larger portion of its operation than computing similarities of input sequences against the database.
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the performance of hmmsearch. Like the others, we've seen that multithreading increases overhead and does not improve throughput. We've found the saturation point is around 51,200 sequences.
Figure 9 and Figure 10 show the behavior of usearch on Hopper and Carver. The througputs in both plots stop increasing around the input size of 819,200.
RESULTS II - Performance with different database size
Now that the optimal input size and the number of threads are determined, the throughput of the softwares with varying database size is evaluated. The following table shows is the input size in basepair and the original database size used in the above experiments.
|Input size (bp)
|Database size (MB)
For varying the database size, each original database is reduced to 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2, respectively, and additionally one more database from doubling up the original size is generated. As we found the 1-thread run is efficient from the previous tests, all runs use only one thread. The final throughput is normalized by the database size.
The x-axis means the DB size. The "1" means the original database size which I used for the multithreading tests. The y-axis means the throughput ratio. The blastp shows 3.4~3.6 times increases in throughput when using only 1/16-sized database. It means that the smaller database size, the better throughput we can get from it. Interestingly, the usearch seems like not quite being affected by the database size even though the throughput is getting worse with larger database size. For rpsblast and blastn runs, the throughput keeps increasing until the original database size and it decreases when the database size is doubled. On Carver, the blastn shows the best throughput with the half size database. The hmmsearch results are not shown in this report because it shows large variability in throughout when it searches against smaller databases.
To summarize, we've found that the programs tested are not able to take advantage of the multithreading on Hopper and Carver. These results are interesting because it is expected that multithreading will improve performance by sharing most of its resources with the parent process. The programs cannot take advantage of multithreading because it needs to scan through large subject database. Accessing different portions of the database definitely dilutes the merit of multithreading. It is also closely related with the available physical memory space on a computation node. If the database is small (<500MB, for example), it might possible that when the whole database can be loaded into memory, the multithreaded performance could be maximized. Most JGI users perform computations that require very large database as subject; thus, we would recommend NOT using multithreading options for those programs. Additionally, for running BLAST programs, we would recommend that:
- Use evalue as strict as possible, for example, -evalue 1.0e-10.
- Control the number of results to show, for example, -max_target_seq 1, if only the best hit is enough (for tabular format output).
- Set the amount of alignment calculation as small as possible. The alignment calculation is very slow. Set "-num_alignments" smaller that 250 (for non-tabular output format).
- Use bigger word size. By default, the word size is 3 for proteins, 11 for nucleotides.
As for the optimal input and database sizes on Hopper and Carver, the recommended settings are shown in the following table (In the case of hmmsearch, we found large variability in the throughput when it searches against smaller databases).
|Input size (bp)
|Database size (MB)
|Number of threads
|500 ~ 1,000
|< 560 (the smaller, the better)
|300 ~ 630
|< 841 (the smaller, the better)

Pharrell and Miley Team for 'Come Get It Bae' Video
"Beauty has no expiration date," proclaims Pharrell Williams at the start of his new video for "Come Get It Bae," the third single from his latest album "G I R L." From there, we see the singer/producer play the role of auteur, shooting videos of various women posing and dancing in a city hi-rise, looking extremely pleased to be in the latest Pharrell video.
The song features a guest vocal spot from Miley Cyrus and the pop star (along with her infamous tongue) make an appearance as well, yet the two frolic around the studio harmlessly. For Pharrell, who broke new ground in terms of what videos can do with his 24-hour "Happy" clip, "Bae" feels rather … ho hum. Maybe the song's been out-Pharrelled by Pharrell? After all, his ubiquitous hit "Happy" has been the most played song on radio for the first half of 2014.
"Come Get It Bae" officially hit radios on May 8, reaching Number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also licensed by Red Bull for their "World of Red Bull" commercial. In case you haven't had enough Pharrell this year, he's currently scheduled to be one of the judges on the next season of NBC's "The Voice."

Dorothy Collective, toys, satire, arts and culture, Hi-Fructose, Will Wlizlo
Growing up, every boy had a set of green toy army men—their feet mired in a puddle of smooth plastic, their guns perpetually cocked. More sadistic boys might burn off the soldiers' legs, arms, and faces with a powerful magnifying glass. Other soldiers would lose appendages to the family Labrador. The little green men molded by U.K.-based artist collective Dorothy, however, come prepackaged with their limbs blown off. One of them holds his rifle to his own throat.
Another subversive "toy" looks like a snow globe enclosing the four cooling towers of a nuclear power plant. Instead of enchanting white fluffs of snow floating through the globe when shaken, clumps of black ash rain down upon the industrial landscape. Ominously, Dorothy has dubbed these "No Globes."
Last holiday season, Dorothy packaged up neat boxes of tree ornaments. But their glinting chrome bulbs weren't smooth orbs of holiday joy—they were shaped like silver hand grenades. Merry Christmas, kids!
"When work like this incites controversy," writes art magazine Hi-Fructose of Dorothy, "it's usually for the way it compresses complex political or societal issues into overly cynical or simplistic satire. Dorothy clearly isn't afraid to offend, but the group never loses its sense of mischievous wit either."
"Dorothy wants to make us laugh," Hi-Fructose concludes, "but when the message gets heavier, the group knows only too well that the joke won't last."

What separates a business from a company?
Company: Printroom, Inc.
When I finished college, and realized I was done playing football, I immediately turned the focus of my attention towards entrepreneurship. I'd earned a degree in Business (Managerial Economics, actually) and obviously loved sports enough to devote most of my life to them. There seemed, then, to be no better path for me to pursue than that of entrepreneurship. With my passion, desire, and commitment; how could I fail? (That was rhetorical, of course; you've probably already got several ways and reasons, but hold your questions for after the program, please.)
I quickly enlisted the help and support of like-minded individuals who I knew shared my thirst for competition and success, no matter the setting. Not unlike with many a startup, these friends and former college teammates became executives and key cogs to NextLevel, the name we branded the company.
NextLevel was supposed to be the ultimate destination for high school and junior college student-athletes, providing myriad services to help them continue their athletic--and academic--careers. Based on three tenets, what we coined the 3 E's, NextLevel addressed the Educational, Exposure, and (Athletic) Efficiency needs of these kids by offering academic assistance and guidance, recruiting exposure to viable opportunities via connection with coaches, and training tools to help maximize athletic potential.
With an online presence, including one of the first searchable athlete databases, I was certain we'd ride the wave that was the Internet Boom all the way to millionaire status. But a funny thing happened on our way to the bank, as they say. First, while we'd been really excited about the potential of the online tools we were developing, we realized there was more interest in our physical services. We learned this almost by accident, which is often the case with new companies. While attending events like volleyball invitationals and flag football tournaments to collect profile information for our athlete database, we received repeated inquiries and requests to conduct training clinics. The vertical jump competition we held, which came with tested and proven techniques to "improve your vertical in five minutes" was certainly a factor. It's amazing how much parents are willing to pay to help get the most out of their young athletes. The fact that my fellow owners and I were still young and in relatively good shape, not far removed from our own playing days, also didn't hurt.
So while we'd hoped NextLevel would blossom into one of the Internet stories we were all hearing about on a regular basis, we were smart enough, albeit a little late, to listen to our customers. As a result, over the next several years, we conducted dozens of small (usually 1-2 days) clinics, ran several sports (mostly football, but also field hockey and basketball) combines to showcase talent, and served as the speed, strength, and conditioning company for several high school sports programs.
But eventually the company reached its apex and we'd extracted most of the value out of it that we could. The main reason we ultimately shut down operations was the same reason I should have termed our undertaking in the beginning of this paragraph not as a company but, instead, as a business. It is the same challenge Tim Ferris refers to in his book The 4-Hour Workweek- the owner as a bottleneck problem. I was the bottleneck. I was the problem. Well, not exactly. I was the barrier to growth, the obstacle that stood between our baby business becoming an adolescent company. I'd allowed myself, and in some cases the personalities and talents of the other owners as well, to become synonymous with NextLevel. Kids loved us. Coaches were impressed with our knowledge and ability to relate to their athletes, reaching them in ways they could not. And it seemed there weren't enough weekends in the year to meet the growing demand for our services.
But therein lies the problem. We thought about, and even tried to, hire coaches and trainers to conduct additional parallel camps and clinics. But whether we were too picky (we were) or the applicants were not qualified (they weren't) or the customers just wouldn't accept anyone other than the NextLevel team they'd met or heard about (they wouldn't); we were unsuccessful. Ultimately, we realized that although we had a viable business, we didn't have a company. And probably couldn't. Because we'd based our value and offering largely on individuals, the business wasn't scalable. We certainly could have documented every part of the business, making sure to note every process and procedure so that we could ultimately share that information with other employees who could then carry them out. I learned this in The E-Myth-Revisited by Michael Gerber, a must read for any entrepreneur or small business owner. But by then we'd gone too far down the path. Finding the perfect people to take over the operations, meticulously recording and teaching the processes that made us successful, and reluctantly resetting customer expectations was too daunting an undertaking for us to pursue.
But as is always the case, with every misstep (it's not a failure unless you fail to learn something) comes an opportunity for growth. We learned a great deal from this experience. Most notably might be a simple 3-step approach that, in my opinion, all entrepreneurs should take.
First, ask yourself this simple question: do you want to have a business or a company? Having a small or medium-sized business, such as a local dry cleaners, a catering business, or a consulting practice are perfectly fine and can yield great financial reward and satisfaction. But these business usually require the presence and expertise of the owner. If, instead, you dream of building a company that will survive without you, the approach must be much different.
Secondly, if you decide you want to grow a company and not just a business, every decision should be approached from the standpoint of automation and simplification. The motivation is simple. Make yourself expendable. In fact, the goal should be to make every person in the company expendable- obviously not in reality, but certainly in theory. Instead of basing success on individual performance and achievement, systems should be the main engine of growth. I'm not saying that people--specifically hiring the right people--is not important. I am saying, though, that they--those bright, energetic, and talented people--aren't scalable. And to build a company, as much emphasis should be placed on what gets done and how it gets done as to who does it.
And third and finally, make a commitment early and often to being vigilant in creating systems and processes that make running and growing the company feasible. At every turn, ask yourself not only "how can we better do this?" but also "should we be doing this?" If a process requires an extremely smart person to carry out, then it's not replicable and probably should be replaced or significantly simplified. Test every assumption. Continue to refine and tweak your business, building it so that eventually--brace yourself--it won't need you.
Indeed, at the end of the day, what separates a business from a company? Scalability, that's what.
Company: CFO Edge
Excellent article. I have worked for a number of entrepreneurs who either failed to get this concept, or when push came to shove, could not make that final step to be expendable. And it is not an uncommon problem, many of the skills necessary to start and build a business become hurdles when it is time to become a company.
When you start a business, one of the first steps needs to be a plan that includes how that business will become a company.
Company: Advanced Clinical Trial Solutions
The article above regarding the difference between a business and a company was very well done. I completely agree and have experienced that scenario on more than one occassion. As an experienced CFO I have used the tag line that my goal was to make my job expendable. While that is at times received as an oxymoron, I use it as a teachable momoent to talk about empowerment for others as it relates to their specific duties and having the courage to be innovative. Scability that retains quality and brand are true keys to sustained business and therefore a company's success.
Company: TTX
The article makes an excellent point about developing processes to enable scalability, which can be done within "a business" context [a sustainable business]. I like to think of a business as a focused set of activities around a central aspect - market, product/service, customer segment - while a company is an organizational form which can be designed to operate multiple businesses.

Going off the other thread that solidified GSP as a better wrestler than Hendo (I agree btw..always thought so). Do you think GSP can beat Ando given that Hendo was able to give Silva problems in the first round of their fight with his wrestling? Or does GSP simply lack the size to compete with Silva?

Frankenhooker is a 1990 American black comedy horror directed by Frank Henenlotter. Very loosely inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, the film stars James Lorinz as medical school drop-out Jeffrey Franken and former Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character (who wears a fatsuit in the beginning of the film).
|This section requires expansion. (December 2015)
After his attractive fiancée is cut into pieces in a freak accident involving a lawnmower, aspiring mad scientist Jeffrey Franken is determined to put her back together again. He sets about reassembling his girlfriend using parts from a variety of New York prostitutes. However, his bizarre plan goes awry when his reanimated girlfriend no longer wants just him, but for money will take on anybody, and afterwards try to kill them.

- Shirley Stoler as Spike the Bartender
Frankenhooker's initial release was delayed because of difficulty obtaining an R rating from the MPAA; the director recalls that one representative of the ratings body actually said, in a phone call to the production company's secretary, "Congratulations, you're the first film rated S." And she said, "S? For sex?" And they said, "No, S for shit."[2] To his dismay, Henenlotter's conservative parents insisted on attending the film's premier in New York City; Henenlotter expressed surprise that they were not offended by the exploitative elements.[3]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2015)
Variety wrote, "Frankenhooker is a grisly, grotesque horror comedy recommended only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach."[4] Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote that "there is a legitimate sense of the absurd lurking within Frank Henenlotter's Frankenhooker" but it is "overshadowed by special effects" and elements that recall soft-core pornography.[5] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called it a "hilarious, totally outrageous grin-and-gore comedy".[6]

I was wondering why I might be getting kicked off of the internet after
about being on-line for about two minutes. Maybe somebody out there can tell
I'm running Windows 2K pro logged on as administrator and after about 2
minutes or so (it varies)
I get a message flash that starts NT AUTHORITY
then goes on to say your system will be restarted in (countdown of seconds)
It then says that a program terminated unexpectedly. The name of the program
is lsass.exe
a error code is given of Code 128. Then my computer restarts at the end of
the countdown. This only happens when I am logged onto the internet.
Any ideas as to what the hell is happening and how I can fix this crap ?

Globalization is leading to big changes in the industry, but one of the most universal topics of interest to professionals worldwide is the current work environment. About 10 years ago, to make the results of the employment survey more comprehensive, we gave the survey an international perspective. This year, we would like to expand on this goal and encourage even greater participation from our readers outside the United States.
We've also added a new segment to this year's survey. Recognizing that high levels of job satisfaction come from good employers, the questionnaire invites participants to nominate their company as one of the "Best Companies to Work for" in the industry. Past survey participants have voiced their opinions about what they enjoy the best about their jobs, and many of these opinions have centered around the job environment at their particular company. This year, we hope to recognize these companies and perhaps inspire new and future employers.We invite you to click here anytime until Sept. 30 to make yourself count and participate in this important survey. And perhaps you may want to nominate your company as one of the "Best Companies to Work for" in the pharmaceutical industry.

United States v. McIntosh et al., — F.3d — (9th Cir. Aug. 16, 2016): Appropriations rider bars Department of Justice from spending funds to prosecute marijuana distributors who comply with state laws (for now)
Ever wonder how it's supposed to work when state laws permit something that federal law prohibits? Ever worry that such a situation could give rise to a mess of eleven consolidated cases raising complex issues of supremacy, standing, separation of powers, and legislative interpretation? Your worries were unfounded: There were only ten.
The Department of Justice prosecuted these ten marijuana distributors, all of whom claimed to be in compliance with their respective states' marijuana laws, under the federal Controlled Substances Act. The defendants moved to enjoin their prosecutions, pointing to a rider to an omnibus appropriations bill specifying that none of the funds appropriated for DOJ could be used to prevent states that have legalized marijuana from "implementing" their marijuana laws. Their motions were denied, and they took interlocutory appeals. The Ninth Circuit first addressed jurisdictional matters. Interlocutory appeals are seldom permitted in criminal cases, but here the court found that they were authorized by 28 U.S.C. 1292(a), which vests circuit courts with jurisdiction over orders refusing injunctions. (The court was careful to note that this trick will not work most of the time: district court orders "relating solely to requests to stay ongoing federal prosecutions" are not appealable, but here what the defendants actually sought was not to stay their prosecutions but to enjoin DOJ from spending funds in violation of the rider.) The defendants had standing, because they faced the imminent concrete injury of incarceration, and they were appropriate parties to vindicate separation of powers concerns — which are, after all, ultimately intended to protect individual liberty.

Nearly nine years later and four teams later for Karsay Beane
reacquired the hard-throwing, but injury-riddled pitcher from the Cleveland
Indians in a minor league transaction Sunday for cash.
Karsay, 34, is 1-1 with a 2.00 earned-run average in 18 innings for Triple-A Buffalo. He's allowed a .188 opponents batting average, walked one and struck out 14.
"He's been throwing very well," A's assistant GM David Forst said. "We feel like he has a chance to contribute sometime soon."
As soon as Tuesday, according to a source, although the A's need to clear another spot on the 40-man roster. Jeremy Brown will be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento.
Karsay was a top prospect when the A's originally acquired him in a 1993 trading deadline deal for Rickey Henderson.
But injuries derailed a promising career. He's made seven trips to the disabled list and missed two entire years. The Yankees received just 101 innings out of Karsay in four years, while paying him $21 million, before releasing him last year.
Forst said the A's need bodies desperately, so all that matters is Karsay is healthy now. Karsay's on a minor league deal and comes cheap.
ONE-HOPPERS: The A's will take advantage of today's off day to juggle their rotation keeping Joe Blanton (Tuesday), Barry Zito (Wednesday) and Dan Haren (Friday) on turn, while having fill-in starters Kirk Saarloos (Thursday) and Brad Halsey (Saturday) pitch on seven-days' rest.

Simple, cheaper flats may win over buyers
The Housing Society's new private residential project Heya Green - due to go on sale this year - is expected to be priced at a level that will prove attractive to buyers and agents.
The statutory body, which is responsible for the provision of public and non-subsidised housing, announced last week that the two-building project at 18 Po On Road in Sham Shui Po would offer 327 simple flats without luxury facilities.
The flats were expected to cost from HK$3.42 million to HK$5.46 million, based on the present market price of HK$6,000 to HK$7,000 per square foot, the society said.
About 80 per cent will be two-bedroom flats of 570 square feet, while the rest are three-bedroom flats of 780 square feet.
The society plans to give priority to Hongkongers wishing to buy flats.
Cindy Kwong, who lives with her husband in a 527 sq ft flat in Tseung Kwan O, said she thought the price of Heya Garden flats would be competitive because even secondary units at private housing estates in neighbouring West Kowloon such as Banyan Garden were selling at around HK$6,340 per square foot.
'I think HK$6,000 to HK$7,000 per square foot in an urban area like Sham Shui Po is attractive, given that new flats at the less convenient Tseung Kwan O station are selling from HK$6,600 per square foot,' Kwong said.
Kwong said she did not share concerns that the building quality of Housing Society flats was not as high as that of private developers because she lived in a flat built by the society before and found it to be of better standard than some developer's flats.
Kwong, who wants to move away from Tseung Kwan O to a larger three-bedroom flat in central Kowloon, said her family would consider buying a unit at Heya Green during the April-June presale period.
Andy Ho Ming-pui, Midland Realty's director for Kowloon, said a price per square foot of HK$6,000 to HK$7,000 was reasonable and should attract first-time homebuyers.
'Buyers will be given another option to choose simpler and cheaper flats compared with other private developments,' he said, and noted Chinachem has been pre-selling its Residence 228 project in the same district at over HK$8,000 per square foot.
The convenience of Heya Green's location, a few minutes' walk from Cheung Sha Wan MTR station, could also lure buyers, Credit Suisse research analyst Joyce Kwock said.
Many small new residential developments in the district priced over HK$7,000 per square foot had sold quickly, Kwock added, and this project could attract some 'old wealthies' who had lived in the area for a long time.
But Kwock did not find Heya Green too cheap compared to other private homes. She said that given the flats had no luxury facilities they should be around 20 per cent cheaper than private developers' offerings.
Centaline Property Agency's Louis Chan Wing-kit questioned whether the society should sell its flats in the existing market, given that Sun Hung Kai had struggled to sell its latest project at Hung Hom for over HK$8,000 per square foot.
'If the government continues its policy control on the property market, it will be difficult for the society to sell its flats,' Chan said.

FSU outfielder DJ Stewart was selected 25th overall by the Baltimore Orioles in the 2015 MLB Draft.
The six-foot, 230-pound junior is the second FSU player in as many years to be drafted in the first round, following RHP Luke Weaver (27th overall in 2014, St. Louis Cardinals).
Stewart, product of Jacksonville's The Bolles School, led FSU in batting average (.318), home runs (15), RBI (59), slugging percentage (.593) and on-base percentage (.500) this past season. The production is even more impressive when considering how often opponents tried to avoid Stewart, who led the NCAA in walks per game with 1.08.
He was the only FSU starter with a...

You wanted to work on your 'tris' today? Thursdays are chest and back? Yeah, right. You couldn't bench more than a 5th grader. Your legs are like pole vaults. You'll never have abs like these babes. We know why you go to the gym. To go look at chicks. And they know too. They see you doing your sets of 3, taking your 14 minutes in between sets and your wide, ogling eyes. But it's OK here. These chicks want you to look. But careful at the gym. They might have huge boyfriends on roids that will pound you to dust.

How Should You Care for Your Pet During the Holidays?
It's that time of year, again. The holiday music has started. The door-buster sales are buzzing. The family is gathering at Grandma's -- and you're trying to figure out how to squeeze Fluffy into a carry-on.
>Find extra holiday help to keep your spirits bright this season.
Holiday traveling is stressful. Whether going on a plane, train or automobile, adding your pet as your passenger doesn't make things any easier. The roads are busier, airports are crowded and flights are packed. Whether your family is opting to travel without your furry friend or plan to invite him to bon voyage, you need to be prepared. So if taking Fido to the family function or leaving him at home, here is everything you need to know and prepare, for pet travel and at-home pet care, to make sure this season is hairball-free!
> Tips for Traveling with Dogs
> Tips for Traveling with Cats
Leaving a Pet at Home
If your family decides the hustle and bustle of pet travel is too much around the holidays, there are other options that can give you peace of mind.
- Place Your Pet in a Kennel
Although this option can be expensive, kennels can provide excellent care. They take care of animals all year round, have the comforts of home a pet needs and some states have specific kennel laws. Research kennels online prior to dropping off your pet as there may be differences in prices and availability. Just be warned: they tend to book up fast around the holidays.
> 11 Questions to Ask when Picking a Kennel
- Hire a Pet Sitter
Pet sitters can be a great alternative to kennel care (and often a cheaper option). Most pet sitters will watch your pet at their residence but some can also come by your house if your pet is more comfortable at home. Typically, pet sitters will stay with your pet for a majority of the day or will check in on him frequently. An experienced pet sitter will watch your dog or cat, keep up on training, take your dog for walks and be a friendly, loving face while you are away.
> 10 Things to Look For in a Pet Sitter
> How to Interview a Pet Sitter
- Hire a Dog Walker
A dog walker coming by twice a day to take your dog on walks while your family is away is often the cheapest option. This could be the least expensive option if you are only going away for a short time, your pet is comfortable being alone, and he only needs a few breaks a day to run and play.
Pet Airline Travel
Before you go to the airport, make sure you and your pet are ready for travel. Check with the airline. It's so important to know what is allowed and what isn't so you aren't surprised when you arrive.
> 12 Do's and Don'ts for Flying With a Dog
- Booking Your Tickets
- Research restrictions. Some breeds are restricted and cannot be checked. Most of the restricted breeds are short-nosed dog breeds (such as the American Bulldog, Pug, King Charles Spaniel, etc). Refer to your airline to make sure your pet is allowed to be checked. If the breed is restricted, you must carry-on your pet.
- Book early. A limited number of animals are allowed on each flight so to ensure your pet is accommodated, book your reservation early.
- Find your flight. Go online and look at the flights you wish take to your destination and decide what days you want to travel.
- Call to book your pet. Pets cannot be booked online. Call the airline's Reservations phone number and ask the agent to check for pet availability (checked or carry-on). If they have availability on the flight, book your flight online (it's $25 for you to book your ticket over the phone so you save money by booking online) and then call them back to book your pet.
- Budget for the fee. Pets will carry a fee associated with their travel. Ask the airline what their prices and policies are. (Note most pet fees are non-refundable so you want to be certain your pet is coming with you before you book his ticket.) Fees associated with pets can be $75-$125 for a carry-on pet and $175-$250 for a checked pet each way.
- Research restrictions. Some breeds are restricted and cannot be checked. Most of the restricted breeds are short-nosed dog breeds (such as the American Bulldog, Pug, King Charles Spaniel, etc). Refer to your airline to make sure your pet is allowed to be checked. If the breed is restricted, you must carry-on your pet.
Carrying-on Your Pet
Know the rules. Carry-on pets are not allowed on transatlantic flights, pets cannot come out of their carrier, and only one animal is allowed per customer.
Check the fit. Make sure your carrier meets the requirements. You can find carrier dimensions guidelines on most airline websites which will let you know the maximum size of cabin pet carriers. Some airlines may allow carriers 19" long x 13" wide x 9" high while others may allow a maximum of 17" long x 12.5" wide x 8.5" high so research ahead of time. There may also be restrictions on the type of carrier you can use (leak proof bottom, etc). Click on your airline's Pet Policy guide below to see what the maximum size and other restrictions are.
Travel light. Your pet carrier will count as your one personal carry-on item. Use a pet carrier with side pockets. Store all necessary items in the side pockets and check all other baggage.
Checking Your Pets
Go inside. Pets must be checked at the ticket counter. Pets cannot be checked with curbside services or at the Self-Service kiosks.
What to Bring
Required vaccinations and documentation for each destination you are flying to (only if you are flying internationally)
Pet's license and identification tags
Favorite toys-to give him a sense of home!
Blanket/comfortable bed (Some airlines, like JetBlue, carry great Pet Travel Kits available for purchase.)
Things your pet will need in the travel destination
Snacks and treats
Puppy pads (just in case)
More Tips and Links
Exercise helps. Tire your pet out before you take off! Take your dog on a longer walk than usual. Play fetch. Make your cat chase a toy. After a long day of exercise, your pet will be able to sleep soundly and comfortably on the plane.
Arrive to the airport extra, extra early. Around the holidays, most experts suggest arriving 2 hours early to make sure you get to your gate on time. Add an extra hour (to be on the safe side) if you are traveling with a pet. Don't forget let your pet take care of his business before you go through security, otherwise you will have to return through security again if nature calls him!
> Have Pet. Will Travel? (Part I)
> Have Pet. Will Travel? (Part II)
Click on these airlines for more information about their specific pet travel policy:
You can also do a search of other pet care providers in your area to see a range of what people where you live are asking. We hope this helps!
Just a thought that during time of packing and planning trip and having a sitter come in, these may not come to mind.
Many pet owners aren't aware of airlines' requirements for pets to have a valid health certificate prior to flying.
What is it? Basically, it's a piece of paper that assures the airline that your pet is up to date on his/her rabies vaccination, is healthy enough for travel, provides microchip information (if applicable), and is signed by a veterinarian. Most airlines will only accept a health certificate within 10 days of it being issued, so timing is key. Make your appointment within 10 days of travel to be sure that it's valid.
Most vets charge about $50/certificate, so budget accordingly.
Happy and safe travels!

I'll agree that the rules themselves have a feel to them. I, for one, never did play in any of those "classic" adventures except for Undermountain (with which I had an experience similar to Alphastream's experience with Keep on the Borderlands), yet each incarnation had a different feel to it because each incarnation had a different approach to the same problem. A prime example of this is with the way AC differs between 2nd AD&D and 3.0.
It seems to me that any attempt to recapture the "classic" D&D feel with "modern" rules comes down to where the simplicity and the complexity come into play within the system. Look at 2nd edition AD&D as an example: When it comes right down to it, AD&D was really a simple game in spite of the A in its title. Sure, none of the subsystems could agree on a core mechanic, but each was simple in it's implementation. The complexity entered into the game with the equipment (both magical and mundane, the equipment tables had four flavors of footwear for Heaven's sake!) and the magic. Compare that with 4E, in which the core Fighter class occupies 14 pages of the Player's Handbook while the treasure parcel system and the encumbrance rules were simplified to the point of absurdity (you mean my strength 8 wizard can pack 80 pounds of gear in his backpack without even slowing down? We should ALL be so fit). This is what I find so encouraging about the idea of stripping everything down to being a function of the ability scores and then tweaking that foundation. If they can strip the core game down to a single, simple mechanic then add the complexity in through modular components like themes and kits, and subsystems like feats; then I think it is very possible for them to recapture the classic feel with a more unified, or "modern," design approach.
Personally, it is my biggest hope that they give the next incarnation more support for homebrew elements than the 3 obscure pages devoted to it in the 4E core materials.
Edit: Minor correction in 2nd paragraph.

The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (the GEF SGP), is a global initiative which began its work in 1992 and is currently being implemented in 101 countries around the globe. The GEF SGP has worked in Uzbekistan since the beginning of 2013.
The programme provides small grants to projects conducted by people in communities, initiatives that are local in size but can have positive global impacts. Local environmental initiatives may seem very limited in scale, but they can result in global benefits. For instance, initiatives preserving any biological species can benefit the global ecosystem, and the prevention of even the smallest greenhouse gas emissions is good for the entire planet. Several small but highly-impactful projects have been supported in Uzbekistan, specifically working to preserve biodiversity, promote climate change adaption, and prevent land degradation and desertification.
The goal of GEF SGP, in Uzbekistan and around the world, is to promote the improvement of the global natural environment via the implementation, by means of local people, of local initiatives designated to preserve and restore the environment by implementing and replicating sustainable natural resources management practices that improve people's livelihoods. The programme's motto in Uzbekistan is 'Think Globally – Save Locally'.

SUBARU has ditched its 'Everything Taken Care of' (ETCo) after-sales support package in favour of a longer standard warranty.
The package, which allowed buyers of new Subarus to claim free repairs for minor scrapes and alloy wheel scuffs, access to a free monthly wash and interior vacuum, a full valet every year, regular wheel alignment and insurance excess contribution, has been deemed to be inefficient in meeting the real desires of buyers.
In its place, a new five-year, 100,000-mile warranty is claimed to add perceived value and a greater sense of confidence in the brand's cars. Subaru has made the change after extensive consultation with dealers and customers, but the new warranty will not apply to the remaining WRX STis yet to be sold before the model is officially discontinued.
Haydn Davies, Subaru UK Marketing Director explained the change. "Feedback received from our dealer network and their customers has confirmed that the ETCo package, though designed to be a ground-breaking and industry-leading offer, was less attractive to the majority of prospective buyers than a longer warranty.
"Research also showed that customers were not using the services offered by the ETCo package. However, longer warranties are considered as more valuable and so to demonstrate that we listen to our customers and have faith in Subaru's superb long term reliability and durability, we have introduced a five year warranty."
Customers who bought a Subaru before the end of 2012 will remain fully entitled to the benefits of the ETCo package.

The Mississippi Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo returns to Gulfport this week
The Sun Herald reported that the 65th annual rodeo takes place Thursday through Sunday. And after moving around to several venues the past few years, the rodeo is back in Gulfport, where it had been prior to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Richie Valdez, of the deep sea fishing rodeo board of directors, says recent improvements at Jones Park in Gulfport Harbor will make this year's rodeo more enjoyable for spectators.
The fishing scales will be open from noon to 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $5 for a wristband that is good for gate admission all four days.
There are 19 saltwater and six fresh water categories.

Assessment at West Virginia Northern Community College
West Virginia Northern has a long history and culture of assessment. Efforts started in the early 90's with academic course assessment. Courses were assessed on a rotating basis. Once established, the Assessment committee began peer reviews of course assessment reports. Later developments included academic program assessment and then peer reviews. Most recently, staff unit assessment reports (by department) have been implemented. These are also peer reviewed. A Guide for Assessment can be found here.
Reports and peer reviews from 2008 to 2012 are available in the Faculty Document Center. Older reports and peer reviews are available here:
