Marvel Movie Madness! Part 21: Howard the Duck
Luke: Well, I guess everyone's going to violently disagree here, so I'll come right out with it. This is the kind of movie that reminds me why I never trust critics' opinions on anything. If you think Howard the Duck is one of the worst things ever made, then frankly you either haven't seen enough movies or have no sense of humor. I mean, sure, the script grimly bastardizes Steve Gerber's comic character in favor of a silly sci-fi adventure -- an ideal Howard adaptation probably should have been animated and directed by, I don't know, Ralph Bakshi or Terry Zwigoff, to capture the character's caustic existentialism. But whatever; how many big-budget PG blockbusters marketed under the marquee of George Lucas have been this f***ing weird?Back to Article

Life begins at 16...
A real social life.
And the one night where it all comes together...the Sweet Sixteen is the ultimate party. Whether a total blast or a total bust, it's a memory to last a lifetime.
Now you're invited to six Sweet Sixteens, in six locations across the country. The party is just getting started.
Julia and Maggie have more in common than just their looks--they both dread their Sweet Sixteen parties. What if they were to change places?… (more)

MISSION, B.C. — John Marple always knew he wanted to serve God in some way. But when the idea that he could become a monk floated his way, he totally rejected it.
"It was the last thing I wanted."

OTTAWA — Conservative MP Brad Trost calls the CIDA grant of $6 million to International Planned Parenthood (IPF) a "slap in the face" to social conservatives in Parliament and in the Tory caucus.
"I am very, very disappointed, very unhappy," said Trost, the pro-life Saskatoon-Humboldt MP, who campaigned last spring on getting IPF de-funded. IPF is a well-known abortion provider and promoter.
WINNIPEG — A person who works for peace is a child of God, Archbishop James Weisgerber said at a prayer service to mark the Sept. 21 United Nations International Day of Peace.
"Those who work for peace must have a peaceful heart," he told the gathering of 100 people.
LEDUC — Among the volunteers at the St. Vincent de Paul Society's distribution centre is Andrea Wan, a member of St. Michael's Parish in Leduc. For the past three years, she and her mother Linda have been helping load a sea can with necessities to send north to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT.
But the selfless youth was inspired to help out even more. Impacted by the assistance that St. Vincent de Paul has been providing for Tuk, Wan wanted to do the same, but in her own way. She yearned to work with the children in the hamlet situated far north of the Arctic Circle. Wan, 15, raised $7,000 for her trip, which paid for her flight, travel expenses and some of the shipping costs of the sea can.
On a four-day visit to Germany, Pope Benedict warned that godlessness and religious indifference are undermining the moral foundations of society and leaving its weakest members exposed to new risks.
He repeatedly mentioned the duty to protect the unborn, and proposed this as an area where Catholics and non-Catholics can witness together and help resist ethical erosion.
FREIBURG, GERMANY — Pope Benedict's four-day visit to Germany highlighted two closely connected challenges for the Church: how to re-evangelize traditionally Christian countries in the West, and how to regain a credible voice in modern society.
In a sense, the pope's German homeland was a test case for the "new evangelization" project that has taken centre stage in his pontificate.
The year 1959 is a couple of generations ago - hardly a blink of an eye in the gaze of history. But on Sept. 15, 1959, Georges Vanier took office as governor general of Canada with words few leaders would speak in public today.
"My first words are a prayer," said the old soldier. "May almighty God in his infinite wisdom and mercy bless the sacred mission which has been entrusted to me by Her Majesty the queen and help me to fulfill it in all humility. In exchange for his strength, I offer him my weakness.
WASHINGTON — The president of the U.S. bishops' conference has told President Barack Obama that his administration's fight against the Defence of Marriage Act will undermine marriage and create a serious breach of Church-state relations.
The law, known as DOMA, defines marriage as between one man and one woman.
TORONTO — As the curtain came down on 10 weeks of double-your-money matching donations for famine relief in East Africa, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace had raised approximately $4.7 million.
MONTREAL — While the protocols and programs dioceses have adopted to combat clerical sexual abuse are necessary, they only treat the symptoms of a systemic problem, says Sister Nuala Kenny.
Kenny said there has never been "a Church-wide, deep conversation" about the meaning of the sexual abuse crisis and the widespread harm it has caused and the transformation "where the Lord is calling us."

Childers' mailings criticized
Dear Editor:
Over the past few months, I have received several mail-outs from Congressman Travis Childers citing his support of various programs or projects.
Some of these are multiple-colored, fold outs, some of them expound how he is "fighting to make Medicare prescription Drug coverage even better." Another says "Shouldn't health reform lower cost, not raise them?"
Another says "True Patriots, we raise the flag, they protect it." Another says "Government wastes, bad for Mississippi Taxpayers, bad for our economy" and what Congressman Travis Childers is doing to protect it.
Another says "No bailouts, No payraises, a report from Congressman Travis Childers."
Inside this colored brochure, Mr Childers says, "With North Mississippians tightening their belts, it's time for our government to do the same."
Then there is the letter of July 13, where he offers support for veterans and encourages the veteran to call his office with any problems.
Then his last letter, of July 23, tells how he is supporting increased funding for schools and education.
While all of this sounds good, read the fine print.
All of these, with the exception of one, were prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense!
Think about this. Who is Congressman Childers really trying to help?

Jet Circus are made up of two former members of Leviticus, but sound nothing like their former band. Jet Circus are heavy metal but they experiment with other styles of music as well. A lot of metalheads didn't like the Jet Circus debut because it wasn't a carbon copy of everything else that was out there at the time. Jet Circus knew how to write a good commercial hook but they also were not afraid to experiment a bit. The band had a unique sound.

AbstractAryl polyphosphonates (ArPPN) have been demonstrated to function in wide applications as flame retardants for different polymer materials, including thermosets, polycarbonate, polyesters and polyamides, particularly due to their satisfactory thermal stability compared to aliphatic flame retardants, and to their desirable flow behavior observed during the processing of polymeric materials. This paper provides a brief overview of the main developments in ArPPN and their derivatives for flame-retarding polymeric materials, primarily based on the authors' research work and the literature published over the last two decades. The synthetic chemistry of these compounds is discussed along with their thermal stabilities and flame-retardant properties. The possible mechanisms of ArPPN and their derivatives containing hetero elements, which exhibit a synergistic effect with phosphorus, are also discussed.
Keywords: aryl polyphosphonates; flame retardant; thermal stability; mechanism

I hope Paul trollope and Chris Hughton bought their boots with them, looks like they will need them.I still can't believe that we were all over the moon last last Jan, cloud 9 after the cup win, and the European adventure won't last long either now its a memory, reality is that we are sinking fast.....faster than Pompey if something isn't done to plug it fast !
Seems to me no one cares, not a lot of news coming out of the corridors of power at St Andrews only players with their boots..Is it true that this season's half time prize is a game the following week, but you have to pay your own travel expenses?Joking aside, is their any sign of a light at the end of the tunnel, or even a glimmer?We have been here before when the last owners took over they had to break the locks off the gates if I remember.Let us hope the Europe visits are not a laughing stock, we were proud when we went to Europe the last time.KRO

Cervical and Vaginal Cancer
Cervical cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow end of the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a fetus grows). The cervix leads from the uterus to the vagina (birth canal). Vaginal cancer forms in the vagina. The vagina is the canal leading from the cervix to the outside of the body. At birth, a baby passes out of the body through the vagina (also called the birth canal).
Anatomy of the female reproductive system. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium.
The most common sign of cervical and vaginal cancer is bleeding from the vagina. Other conditions may also cause vaginal bleeding.
Treatment for childhood cervical and vaginal cancer may include surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible, followed by radiation therapy. Chemotherapy may also be used but it is not yet known if this is an effective treatment.

The Woolly Worm Festival
Far from being a normal festival, the Woolly Worm Festival became a tradition rooted in Lee County's culture. The woolly worm is believed to forecast the weather for the coming winter season. A woolly worm's body has 13 segments-each corresponding to a week in winter. If a segment is light brown, that means the week will be mild. If a segment is black, that means a harsh, cold week. The worm acted as a weather predictor for many old time farmers who would harvest crop and cut firewood in preparation for the upcoming winter.
Plan a visit to Beattyville/Lee County October 21st though 23rd to participate in the 2016 Woolly Worm Festival. For vendor information contact the Woolly Worm Festival Committee at (606) 464-2888. Follow our social media for festival updates.

Blast from the Past...
Woolly Worm Silver Anniversary 2012
The Woolly Worm Festival celebrated 25 years in October 2012. The 25th anniversary festival was dedicated to the World War II veterans of Lee County. At the opening ceremony, community leaders honored all the survivors as Kentucky Colonels. The festival was first initiated in 1988 when a group of people were sitting around in the Purple Cow dinner on Main Street thought up an idea for a festival that was culturally significant and would create tourism. In its 25 years, it has emerged as a nationwide event that attracts over 30,000 people and has a variety of special activities such as woolly worm races, craft displays, parade, pet show, festival food, car show and live entertainment on two stages in Beattyville, KY. During the milestone celebration, visitors enjoyed local musical talents like the Appalachian Troubadours, Lisa Briscoe Lacy, Clinton Fry Band, Harold Fouch & Alonzo Ambergery, and the Hilltop Pickers. People came from miles around to be entertianed by some larger names such as Common Ground and Brad Alford & Saddle Tramp. Special musical guest, sponsored by Bretagne Oil, was Russle Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out. They were fresh off the win of the International Bluegrass Music Association's Male Vocalist of the Year for the second consecutive year.

I have a problem with setting the order of posts in the slideshow on the main page.
What I'm trying to achieve is a constant and unchanging set of posts in the slideshow on the main page.
I tried all the settings "Theme settings -> slideshow -> order by post" - posts are still set in order from the most recently added.
How can I set a specific id's of sites tha display the slideshow in main page?
Cheers and thanks in advance for your reply.

Brandywine Cottage is David Culp's beloved two-acre Pennsylvania garden where he mastered the design technique of layering — interplanting many different species in the same area so that as one plant passes its peak, another takes over. The result is a nonstop parade of color that begins with a tapestry of heirloom daffodils and hellebores in spring and ends with a jewel-like blend of Asian wildflowers at the onset of winter.

This plugin makes it beyond easy to load a plugin or widget asynchronously with little to no technical knowledge. I have an installed plugin that was causing significant loading delays on one of my WP sites. After installing Asynchronous Widgets, things are loading MUCH faster and smoother. Thank you so much!
FYI I'm using this plugin with a more recent version of WordPress (3.9.1) than the description says it's compatible with. I haven't experienced any issues yet and will update this review if I do.
On one site I have a sidebar that contains three widgets that get updates from social media sites. They are naturally quick when displaying cached content, but the unfortunate user that visits the page when the cache had to refresh would have had to wait 30sec or so to see any of them.
I was researching how I might use multi_curl or something to load asynchronously when I found this plugin. After clicking three buttons in its settings menu, I'm now loading my social media sidebar asynchronously. There is a noticeable but very slight delay when loading from cache, but a huge increase in cache refresh performance. Thanks!
Tip: When I first set this up, the social media sidebar looked a little funny with no content and no indicator anything was loading while the widget refreshed the cache. I set my first widget to not be asynchronous, and now it makes more sense.

upon calling, the only response i could get as to where they are located is "I don't know." When i started to look for Broadway florists, (as they are advertising themselves at) i found a completely different florist, that obviously has not heard of my order because i never ordered through them. at that point, i realized that Urban florists, is a scam and not only does it not deliver orders, but falsely advertises their prices just to lour in customers, then blames other florists and destroys the reputations of honest and loyal florists.
I paid for flowers that never got delivered and then could not get a hold of those scam artists that ran away with my money and trust!

I hope at sometime someone somewhere steps up to the plate to catch this guy and ends his fraud against good people, who just want a good business to provide a good service.
Even if it has been a while since he scammed you, don't give up, that's what he is wanting you to do. Find time to keep up on this and report every chance you get.

The reason everyone was on hold so long was because the "customer service center" consisted of a grand total of 5 people.
That's all I would like to say.
And I only worked there for a month...(thank goodness too)
It's a super shady place and their website is offline at the moment and will hopefully never be coming back.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the federal government's efforts to transform former Soviet Union (FSU) command economies into more efficient, market-based economies, focusing on the: (1) size, scope, and status of the various U.S. bilateral programs; (2) structures for coordinating and managing these programs; and (3) coordination and structural problems the Administration faces.
GAO noted that: (1) the coordination process has not always worked smoothly, and disputes have arisen between the FSU Coordinator, the Agency for International Development (AID), and other federal agencies over the appropriateness of various projects; (2) for fiscal years 1990 through 1993, 19 U.S. government agencies committed a total of $10.1 billion for bilateral grants, donations, and credit programs to the FSU; (3) the structure for coordinating and managing U.S. bilateral programs for the FSU starts with the National Security Council's Policy Steering Group; (4) pursuant to the Freedom Support Act, the President designated a Coordinator within the Department of State and charged him with: (a) designing an overall assistance and economic cooperation strategy; (b) ensuring program and policy coordination among agencies; (c) pursuing coordination with other countries and international organizations; (d) ensuring proper management, implementation, and oversight by agencies responsible for assistance programs; and (e) resolving policy and assistance program disputes among U.S. agencies; (5) while the Freedom Support Act gives the Coordinator broad responsibility for U.S. bilateral programs, and calls on him to coordinate with other countries and international organizations, in practice, the Coordinator's role is much more limited; (6) the only bilateral program wholly within the Coordinator's purview is the program funded by the Freedom Support Act; (7) strategy papers issued by the Coordinator focus primarily on technical assistance and do not develop a clearly articulated strategy for achieving the overarching goals of the Freedom Support Act or for helping the countries of the FSU achieve their reform objectives; (8) other participants involved with U.S. assistance to the FSU have at times resisted, hindered, or overruled the Coordinator's efforts to develop a coherent and comprehensive assistance program for the FSU; (9) agencies complained that AID often attempted to hinder their participation despite the Coordinator's instructions, would not cooperate with them, and often ignored or overlooked experience other government agencies had; (10) AID officials disagreed with this characterization, saying that other agencies often want to use Freedom Support Act assistance funds for purposes that are not consistent with priorities AID believes are appropriate; and (11) according to an official at the Coordinator's Office, disputes between AID and other agencies have required the Coordinator's Office to spend an excessive amount of time dealing with high-level political battles over small amounts of money instead of spending time developing program goals and objectives.

Major Gold Player UBS Slashes Price Forecasts
UBS bank, one of the largest traders in the gold market, slashed its price forecasts for the yellow metal Tuesday, citing a lack of supporting factors.
The bank lowered its one-month target to $1,180 a troy ounce from $1,450 an ounce, and cut its three-month target to $1,100 an ounce from $1,375 an ounce. Tuesday, gold traded around $1,245 an ounce.
UBS precious metals analyst Joni Teves also cited gold's disappointing price performance in the face of dollar weakness and U.S. fiscal uncertainty.
So far this year, gold prices have slumped by more than a quarter.
"Physical buying is taking place but it's not enough to drive prices higher. At the same time you have continued disinvestment," said Barclays analyst Suki Cooper, who also weighed in Tuesday.
More In Gold
Western investors have dumped gold derivatives such as exchange-traded funds, bruised by sharp losses in the second quarter and by the metal's muted price reaction to U.S. liquidity measures. The Federal Reserve's bond purchase program has supported demand for gold as a supposed inflation hedge, but not lifted prices.
And analysts have expressed concern that crucial support will be taken from beneath gold, should the latest Fed meeting minutes be anything to go by.
The market has sustained two major shocks, from both the supply and demand side, says Matthew Turner, a precious metals analyst at Macquarie. According to his figures, outflows from gold-backed exchange-traded funds have placed nearly 800 tonnes of metal back onto the market in 2013. At the same time demand in India, a top gold buyer, has been artificially restricted, causing consumption to be around 200 tonnes lower than it might have been.
"In a sense, that leaves around 1,000 tonnes of gold on the global market to be absorbed–a lot of that heavy lifting is resting on China's shoulders," said Mr. Turner. The World Gold Council says that for this year so far, China has consumed more physical gold than India, but Mr. Turner sees a limit to how much it can keep absorbing in the short-term.
"The base case of 2014 is not for a price recovery," he says.
As gold continues to lose friends fast, there are other downside risks. Published gold purchases by central banks show that while the "official sector" remains a net bullion buyer, the rate is slower than last year.
All the while, that specter of a stimulus tapering in the U.S. looms.
"We've seen prices being pulled pillar to post of Fed tapering expectations – our base case scenario is for tapering to start in March," says Barclays' Cooper. "Any surprises could mean a risk to our fourth quarter average forecast of $1,325 an ounce," she said.
Could UBS's target downgrade be the precursor for others? Potentially. Goldman Sachs' bearish turn on the metal played no small part in gold's sudden losses in the second quarter.

After searching online for health insurance, I was referred to a company called "PJB Health Agency" of Melville, New York which promised me affordable health insurance coverage. Their coverage plan sounded good, so I gave them my checking account number, and they quickly debited my account.
However, I have was never issued legitimate health insurance. In fact, I have received nothing that I was promised! After doing some research on this company, I have discovered that the health insurance which they allegedly offer through their affiliate (American Benefits Association of Blackwood, New Jersey), is not health insurance at all, but a medical and prescription discount plan.
I have been scammed by "PJB Health Agency", and the money that was debited from my checking account was done under false pretenses! I now feel like the biggest schmuck on two feet!

If I were you, I'd file complaints against these fraudsters with the New York State Attorney General's Office, The New York State Insurance Department, and The Federal Trade Commission.
If you paid by ACH debit from your checking account, IMMEDIATELY go to your bank and fill out an ACH Form which will return the money debited back into your account and will prevent these fraudsters from making any future ACH debits!
Good luck!

Mr M Graham
Dear Mr Graham,
I am writing to you over my concerns of what only can be described as false advertising. I am referring to your companys currently screened advertisement where they, AAMCO, purport to be the experts in automatic transmissions and warn against the excessive and unnecessary costs that may be incurred at other establishments.
Additionally in the advertisements the message is that if there is a simple fix to the transmission, that is quick and inexpensive, this is the course of action that will be taken.
On the basis of this I contacted your branch in Warwick RI and had a discussion with the lady at the other end
of the phone in which I explained the issue and booked the vehicle in for an exploratory analysis.
The problem with my sons vehicle, a 1993 Volvo 80, was that the transmission was stuck in winter mode. After a few days I contacted the AAMCO garage and again had a discussion with the lady at the reception where she informed me that they had performed a diagnostic on the vehicle and all indications were that there were some problems with the transmission and it would have to be overhauled. When asking the cost I was told that the overhaul would come to some $1700, and it could also be more if there were items of hardware that needed replacing.
Due to the age of the vehicle and its Blue book value I declined and had the vehicle collected and taken back to
my home in Newport. My son a Junior at UVM did some independent research on the internet and discovered that this problem is often caused by the selector switch mounted on the exterior of the transmission. On his own initiative my son purchased the switch from a local Volvo dealership for $160 and spent the next three hours removing the old switch and replacing it with the new one, using information and photographs from the internet. This was the FIRST TIME that my son had worked on a car and the whole exercise should have taken an hour only. The transmission performed perfectly after this switch change and the warning indicators automatically reset themselves. Could you please explain to me why this option was not suggested by your experts?
As a result of AAMCOs advertising I would have at least expected, with the years of experience and expertise stated, that : A 19 year old college Junior would not have had more insight or experience than certified qualified mechanics in research and diagnosis of the problem The AAMCO garage would have been able to detect the real issue rather than as stated in the advertisement (not incur unnecessary costs)
The AAMCO repairer would have suggested alternatives e.g. replacement of the selector switch or the electronic
controller or even a flushing of the system and clean out of the valve chest to try and eliminate the problem. And that the vehicle would have been returned in the same condition. I am referring to the air intake system that was thrown in
the trunk instead of being correctly replaced.
Naturally you can understand my opening sentiments and feeling that there was an attempt being made either
through inexperience, unprofessionalism or dishonesty to have me pay substantially more than was necessary to remedy a simple issue that your experts should have been aware of or had the ability to detect.
For your information I have lodged a complaint with the office of fair trading Ref:34115831 and passed this
information on to the RI attorney General on their suggestion.
The AAMCO garage details are as follows:
1077 Toll Gate Road
Warwick RI
Phone 401 821 1200
I sincerely hope that some action/attention is given to this matter to protect other less aware or advised consumers from being subjected to excessive and unnecessary costs in contradiction to the claims made by AAMCO.
Yours Sincerely
Martyn F W

I wish to notify this group being Ripoff Report that Untrue.com is miss leading their costumers and current members like me by pretending to be a dating site and from my current reading of misc. posts they state this company is an entertainment site and not a dating site, WOW what a past waste of my time and monthly fee! The saddest part about this is that I thought I met many great ladies wanting to find a new man in their life but apparently I'm wrong because after 50 plus email sent and many who contacted me first being interested then, all of that time chatting went no where and that is not even entertaining, let alone dating.
As a current member I was on the site today responding back to those who contacted me being interested and after several emails...Gone and you never heard back from any of them. Prior to being on this "Report" site I sent over 20 emails twice within the same day asking if they were receiving my mail at all and still nothing. At the bottom of the message out box it clearly states that no personal information will be allowed to be sent and will be filtered as Spam mail in RED ink and I did read the terms and user conditions of the website it shared for it's new costumers but why even be on a site like this if you can not contact that person on their personal email account and most people joining do not even have a clue of these stated company terms and user agreements even though they may read the red printing I previously stated above.
As a consumer I feel ripped off and miss lead in thinking they were a dating site but that now apparently is not the case at all. In addition I contacted the FCC Administration on the fraud hot line email and discussed the same issues I stated within this post and will be curious to hear back from them some time next week because I feel I am not the only single man or women being victimized for looking for a new life partner.

Samuel Holland (202-416-2912)
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Inspector General Gaston L. Gianni, Jr., has announced that Gary S. Blonder and Laura Z. Schwartz of West Hartford, CT, were indicted on October 31 by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut on charges related to concealing assets from the FDIC and making false statements to the U.S. government.
This case was investigated by the FDIC Office of Inspector General. Blonder is charged with a total of five counts - one for concealing assets from the FDIC and four for making false statements to the government. Schwartz is charged with aiding and assisting Blonder in concealing the assets.
According to the indictment, Blonder owes the FDIC $2.714 million as part of an order of restitution entered by the U.S. District Court in Hartford in connection with a 1996 criminal conviction. The single count of concealing assets from the FDIC alleges that between June 1999 and August 2002, Blonder -- aided and abetted by Schwartz -- conducted four real estate transactions so that all financial and land records would show Schwartz as the sole owner. In reality, Blonder allegedly arranged the purchase and financing of the properties and used money from his privately held businesses to finance and improve the properties. The indictment further alleges that upon the sale of two of these properties, Blonder shared in the profits and concealed this money from the FDIC.
Blonder is also charged with making false statements concerning material facts to different U.S. government representatives. One count alleges that on December 8, 2000, Blonder provided a false written statement to the U.S. Attorney's office in Connecticut in connection with an attempt by that office to collect the money owed to the FDIC. In that statement, Blonder stated that he had sold a $100,000 U.S. Treasury bond received as part of a divorce settlement when, in fact, he still owned the bond and was holding it in a brokerage account in one of his business names. Three counts allege that Blonder made false statements to his probation office regarding his financial dealings and the operation of his solely owned businesses.
If convicted, Blonder faces up to five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine on each count. Schwartz, if convicted, faces up to five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.
###Congress created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in 1933 to restore public confidence in the nation's banking system. The FDIC insures deposits at the nation's 9,480 banks and savings associations and it promotes the safety and soundness of these institutions by identifying, monitoring and addressing risks to which they are exposed. The FDIC receives no federal tax dollars - insured financial institutions fund its operations.
