on October 17, 2012 - 8:06 AM
Dear Abby: My 15-year-old stepson, "Justin," doesn't drink or do drugs. The problem is, he has been caught for the third time having unprotected sex.
My anger isn't at Justin so much as at his parents; obviously, his father. Justin has lied repeatedly about this. A 15-year-old boy can't take care of a baby, and having sex with multiple partners means exposing everyone involved to STDs.
My husband is a smart man, but for some reason he seems to think this will end well. I worry about his son becoming a father too soon and missing out on his full potential. My husband and his ex have dealt with this by trying to ignore it, and for the most part I haven't involved myself. But the more I think about it, the more I see the danger of Justin's life being changed forever because his parents don't want to make him unhappy for a minute.
I love my husband and stepson. Allowing this to continue isn't the right path for anyone. Am I overreacting?
– Alarmed in Chicago
Dear Alarmed: You're not overreacting. Your husband is doing his son no favors by enabling his irresponsible behavior instead of asserting himself and acting like a parent. Justin may think that fathering a child will make him a "real man." But unless your husband can get through to him that REAL men take care of themselves and their partners, and REAL men don't risk bringing children into the world they can't take care of, then face it: He's letting his son play baby roulette, and it's only a matter of time until he'll be a grandfather.
Relatives notice lack of bra
Dear Abby: My son has a wonderful girlfriend, "Michelle." Michelle is sweet, caring, smart and funny. The problem is, she doesn't wear a bra. Ever.
Relatives have commented about it to us at family gatherings because she's not flat-chested. My husband, "Daryl," feels a woman should go without a bra only in the privacy of her own home, and I agree. He thinks I should buy Michelle a bra as a "subtle hint." I don't think that's wise, and I don't want to offend her.
Because it doesn't seem to matter to my son, should we continue to keep our opinions to ourselves?
– Sees a Need for Support in Florida
Dear Sees a Need: Because people are talking, it would be a kindness to say something to Michelle – but DELICATELY, so she doesn't think you are criticizing her. If you have a good relationship with her, invite her to join you for lunch and, while you're on the subject of the last gathering, mention that some of the relatives noticed her bralessness. Then tell her that you need to go lingerie shopping and invite her along. Ask her to help you pick out a few pretty things for yourself, and then offer to treat her to some things she likes. She just may take you up on it.

Candidacy & Thesis
Comprehensive Written Exam
The written qualifying exam takes place in July of the first academic year, one month after the end of the core curriculum. One part of it is a cumulative exam that tests knowledge of the material in the three core neuroscience courses. A second part tests the ability to interpret original literature. For this part, manuscripts are assigned the week prior to the exam and essay questions on a manuscript are answered.
Ph.D. Candidacy and Requirements
The criteria for advancement to candidacy are:
- B or better average on all core courses.
- Satisfactory performance in laboratory rotations.
- Passing the written qualifying exam at the end of the first year.
- Completion of CON 650, "Principles of Scientific Conduct and Practice."
- Appropriate progress on research in the chosen thesis lab.
- Passing the oral qualifying exam at the beginning of the third year.
Additionally, each Ph.D. candidate is required to give a yearly seminar on their research. This requirement can be satisfied by talks given at the NGP retreat, at regional or national meetings. In addition, the student must submit a yearly progress report to the advisory committee and program administrator.
Oral Qualifying Exam
The purpose of the oral exam is to show that you have mastered the literature and methods of your chosen field and can formulate testable hypotheses. Following the format of an NIH National Research Service Award (NRSA) postdoctoral grant, you prepare a research proposal that explains the goals of your thesis research. This is delivered to the examining committee two weeks prior to the exam. The exam itself consists of a 15-20 minute talk describing the proposal and a question period. This is not a general exam. Questions from the examining committee should focus on matters relevant to the proposal, and on literature and methods that pertain specifically to your chosen field.
The exam is taken at the beginning of the third year of graduate school. The following deadlines apply:
- Exam committee chosen: February 1 of second year
- Written proposal submitted: March 1 of second year
- Preliminary evaluation of the proposal: Within two weeks
- Oral examination: By the end of April of the second year
Download a full description of the oral exam
Thesis Defense
A successful thesis represents a significant scientific contribution to a field of neuroscience. Specifically, it consists of work that has either been published by the student or is ready for submission. Although this work typically constitutes two papers, published or publishable in major journals with the student as first author, this is not an absolute requirement; the thesis committee is the final judge of the suitability of the student's work.
The structure of the thesis, the examining committee, and the exam must adhere to the graduate school guidelines. Upon being determined a candidate for the Ph.D., you have three months to choose and convene a thesis advisory committee. This committee advises you throughout the remainder of your graduate school career as research progresses toward the thesis. The thesis committee consists of your advisor and at least three additional faculty members who are qualified to guide you in your research.

BUNKER HILL - Caleb Dembeck wanted to have a monster performance during his last game at Waldeck Field - at least his regular-season finale.
Dembeck's hoping that he and his Musselman teammates have a few more home games left, those coming in the playoffs, if everything goes well for the Applemen in the final two weeks.
If it was his last football game at home, Dembeck went out with a bang, throwing for five touchdowns and leading Musselman to a monstrous 56-12 victory over Hampshire Friday night.
Article Video
High school football
"I'm planning on this not being my final home game. I want a couple more," Dembeck said. "I had a great night personally, but my receivers were open all night, and I don't think I saw a Hampshire jersey near me all night.
"We're kind of hitting our stride with a few weeks left."
The Musselman offense has been hitting its stride all year long, and leading the charge is Dembeck, who is putting up some of the biggest numbers in the state. He has thrown for 1,561 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Hampshire's Denard Hartwell gets dragged into the end zone by Musselman's Trevon Wesco on a 66-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the first Musselman offensive series early in the first quarter Friday night in Bunker Hill. (Journal photos and video by Ron Agnir)
Caleb Dembeck completed 12 of 13 passes for five touchdowns in Friday's win.
Against the Trojans, he completed 12 of 13 passes for 256 yards, along with five touchdown passes.
"(It's) his work ethic," Musselman coach Denny Price said of Dembeck. "That position is hard enough, but if you're not willing to put in the time and effort, you're not going to be successful. He doesn't hinder us at all. He runs the offense well, and tonight he ran the no-huddle well."
Dembeck and the Applemen offense ran like a well-oiled machine, with Dembeck throwing for five touchdowns in three quarters of play.
The senior connected with junior tight end Trevon Wesco on three touchdown passes, the first two of which, came in the first quarter.
On the Applemen's first possession of the game - and first play of the game - Dembeck found Wesco for a 66-yard strike.
Near the sideline, Wesco caught the ball over a Hamsphire defender, then ran down the sideline, broke a tackle and went in for the score.
On Musselman's next possession, Dembeck rolled out, then found Wesco over the middle for his second touchdown, this time a 17-yard strike to put the Applemen up 13-0.
The final touchdown pass between the two came with 5:38 left in the second quarter when Dembeck connected on a 40-yard touchdown pass with Wesco to put Musselman up 35-6.
Dembeck also found Darrin Zombro for two more touchdown passes. The first came near the end of the first half on a short 3-yard scoring play. Then, Zombro caught a 5-yard pass with 7:33 left in the third quarter.
"Trevon and Darrin ran some nice routes tonight," Dembeck said
The Applemen also had a solid night on the ground with 268 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Josh Ferguson ran for 110 of those yards and two scores - including a 73-yard scoring run where he broke through the defense and ran up the field and another on a short 1-yard dive in to the end zone.
Defensively, it was also a dominating performance as the Applemen held the Trojans to just two touchdowns, one by Calab Landis in the second quarter and another by Lucas Powers in the fourth quarter.
"We're steadily improving," Price said. "Tonight, we ran well, passed well and blocked well. Defensively, we played aggressively."
With a week off, the Applemen have two weeks to prepare for Martinsburg.
"Having two weeks to prepare for them is a godsend," Price said. "We'll take the next two weeks and work hard at it."

I have honestly seen the exact same thing on a live stream of the Japanese version a month or so ago. He got to that section and was on a loading screen with Jeanne, but the game basically froze up there. I guess it's possible that that specific spot is a problem area, but I've only heard of it happening twice.
I am sure people have many nice memories of yelling at their controllers.~Keiji Inafune
MalifacentX your the troll here. stop assuming everyone to be a troll. just because someone encountered an issue doesnt make them a troll. your a troll, merely because you assume everyone to be just because found an issue.
yeah that sucks, anyways i emailed platinum games, hopefully they'll give me a good reply back, hopefully an update will fix this issue, thank god for internet connected consoles.

Actually (And I know people are gonna scream "TROLL!") I had this same exact thing happen to me on my Import copy. I have no idea what the Hell causes it, but the game will just crash while the training room just keeps going.
I got past it by resetting the game and trying again - It loaded within 20-30 seconds like usual but it's weird that we have two others who had the same exact thing happen to them.
^well theres nothing wrong with having an issue, if your complaining about something that doesnt excist then your a troll.
there will always be glitches in every game, in fact ive found millions of glitches from other games(mgs3,gta3,gta4)
its glitches like these that make it almost unplayable.
i just hope that platinum games will do the smart thing and release a glitch, it makes sense why this game has glitches...the answer is that it came out way to early. i would have happily waited 3 more months just so i know that platinum games would fix all the glitches. i just hope that just because they think the game is complete that they should quit entirely working on the game. i hope they fix the bugs and glitches in an update. like i said, thank god theres updates and internet connected console this gen. imagine a glitched up GTA4. GTA4 wasnt even playable, the only way to play it is by signing off PSN, but thanks to rockstar they updateded the game in a week later.

Violet G. Holesapple
Two sons, Leroy E. Holesapple, on Jan. 25, 1953, and William H. Holesapple, on Jan. 24, 2010, and one grandson, William H. Holesapple II, preceded her in death. She was the last of her generation, having been preceded in death by a brother, Edward McCombs, and a sister, Darlene Brown.
She was a member of the New Life Assembly of God Church, Mifflintown.
Mrs. Holesapple worked as a seamstress in various local sewing factories, but as a pastor's wife, she gained great fulfillment in performing her duties to assist her husband with his ministry.
Violet enjoyed going to the library, reading books, doing puzzles, baking, camping and traveling; however, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, especially their picnics.
A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 11, 2012, at the New Life Assembly of God Church, Mifflintown, with Pastor Judy Rowles and Mrs. Holesapple's son-in-law, Thomas Morder, officiating. Interment will be in the Lost Creek Presbyterian Cemetery, McAlisterville.
There will be no viewing; however, the family will receive friends from 6 p.m. until the time of service Wednesday, at the church.
Please honor the family's wishes as they will be providing all funeral flowers and kindly ask that memorial contributions be made in Mrs. Holesapple's memory to the St. Jude Children's Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Brown Funeral Homes, Inc., 100 Bridge St., Mifflintown.
Online tributes and condolences may be extended to the family at www.brownfuneralhomesinc.com.

One week after the St. Charles Parish Council voted to renew a contract with a lobbying firm that has represented St. Charles Parish in Washington, D.C., for the past two years, Parish President V.J. St. Pierre vetoed the vote, invoking a clause in the parish's charter that grants authority to the parish president to issue professional services contracts in lieu of a council vote.
The council on March 25 voted to extend a two-year lobbying contract between the parish and Tauzin Consultants. The vote was 7-2, with councilmembers Paul Hogan and Carolyn Schexnaydre in opposition. On Monday, St. Pierre vetoed the council decision, citing a clause in the parish charter stating that the council does not have the authority to renew or issue professional services contracts; instead, such contracts are to be awarded at the discretion of the parish president.
"I took an oath to uphold the rules and regulations of the constitution of Louisiana, and the rules of the parish charter," St. Pierre said. "[The council] doesn't have the authority to hire a consultant, and they can't force me to sign. It's unconstitutional."
In his veto message, which is addressed to ordinance sponsor and council Chairwoman Wendy Benedetto, St. Pierre elaborated on the subject. "The Federal and Louisiana State Constitutions have configured our governments to be composed of separate and exclusive branches: legislative, executive and judicial," he wrote. "The legislative branch makes laws; the executive branch executes and enforces laws; and the judicial branch interprets those laws. The fundamental precept by which these branches function is through separation of powers which prohibits encroachment on the duties of any other branch. To do so would be invalid as unconstitutional and could cause abuse and corruption."
Additionally, St. Pierre suggested that spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a consultant is fiscally impractical. The previous contract, which expired on March 31, 2013, authorized the employment of Tauzin Consultants for a 24-month period at roughly $10,750 per month, totaling $258,000 over two years. The new contract maintains the same salary for Tauzin Consultants, but instead authorizes a 33-month agreement, costing the parish an additional $96,750.
Tauzin Consultants was founded in December 2010 by former U.S. Rep. Billy Tauzin. The firm was awarded its contract with St. Charles Parish six months later; it was the firm's first public client.
"This has nothing to do with Billy Tauzin; this isn't personal," St. Pierre said. "This is strictly about economics."
Council members in favor of renewing the Tauzin Consultants contract also believe the decision should be based on economics - more specifically, securing as much funding as possible for the west bank hurricane protection levee, which recently received its final permits from the Army Corps of Engineers.
"We have all the permits for the levee. We're in the funding phase of the levees. The money will have to come from Washington, D.C., and we need all the help we can get," said Councilman Larry Cochran, who co-sponsored the ordinance. "We spend this much money planting shrubs around the parish. We spend this kind of money killing weeds. And we need to leave no stone unturned to get the funding for the west bank levee. And with FEMA coming down on us with the new flood maps, we need people in Washington fighting for us."
Councilwoman Julia Fisher-Perrier, whose district includes parts of the west bank and who voted in favor of extending the contract, said that having parish representation in Washington, D.C., is more important now than ever before in light of the newly proposed FEMA flood insurance rate maps, which could raise west bank residents' flood insurance rates by tens of thousands of dollars.
"We might not have needed money before, but we need it now," Fisher-Perrier said. "Being that funding is the next step, it's quite important. The flood maps, the levees, the lobbyists - they're all connected."
Councilman Paul Hogan, an outspoken opponent of the proposed FEMA flood maps who voted against renewing the contract, acknowledged the importance of having lobbyists in Washington, D.C., but voiced distinct concerns about the length of the contract.
"I thought they did a pretty good job," Hogan said, "but contracts are usually 12 months. This was a 24-month contract - that was my complaint last time -- and now we're extending it 33 months. I don't see a reason for that."
"At this time right now, it's good to have somebody up in Washington speaking and keeping our name on the forefront of people's minds," Hogan continued. "But to have [the contract] for 33 months. I disagree with that."
St. Pierre is not a stranger to vetoing parish council decisions. In the last year, he vetoed a vote to replace an existing engineering firm, a vote that would have required anyone seeking the source of building code complaints to file a public information request, a vote appointing controversial Luling businessman Neal Clulee to the Aviation Board, and a budgetary amendment concerning legal fees, among others.
The council could attempt to overturn St. Pierre's veto at next week's council meeting, which will take place on Monday, April 7 at the St. Charles Parish Courthouse in Hahnville. The council would need a two-thirds majority vote in order to override St. Pierre's veto.

CAMP HILL, Pa. — Following the resignation of Robert A. Mariano from Rite Aid Corp.'s 14-member board of directors, Jim Donald has been appointed to the vacancy. Donald, 54, joined Starbucks in 2002 as president, North America, and managed business development and operations for that territory until 2005, when he was promoted to president and chief executive officer of the company.

text: I like where your head is at. It's possible, but it's gonna hurt! Cardio-wise you can finish a marathon at a slow pace with that plan, but weight training for the legs is not a substitude for training for the 4+ hours of pounding - on concrete! Of course every body reacts differently, but the pounding is the issue for most people and it can really take a toll on the under trained. And cause injury. Keep in mind that your long run of 16 is a full 11 miles short of your goal - so you're gonna be forced to make up a big gap on race day. Again, I'm not saying you can't do it, it's just not usually advised w/so few miles of training. Best of luck, Paul.

The beginning of a sports season, oh, what a wonderful time.
All the work in the summer, doing it, when, at times, there exists a more relaxing and pleasant diversion a left turn away. Sleep, more sleep or a dip in the pool.
Players worked, though, to get ready for more work during preseason practices.
Article Photos
There's always that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - the games and meets.
That's what the players live for and work for.
The painful hard work of the offseason and then of the preseason are all forgotten.
Everything is new again:
"Yeah, you won three championships in a row, but, by golly, we're going to knock you off."
Everybody has a chance:
"What happened last year, happened last year."
Of course, that's a little simplistic of a view, because some - or many - of those who orchestrated last year's success somewhere are still around and a year older and, expectedly, better.
Everybody starts off 0-0.
While everybody begins the season with the same record of zip and zip, and it starts off the same way in postseason tournaments that allow every team to participate, again nothing and nothing, or as the coaches like to say, "one and done," it doesn't take long to seperate the haves and the have-nots.
Right now, though, everybody knows they can topple monstrous Martinsburg in football and mighty Musselman in volleyball. Just ask them.
(To be fair, volleyball practice doesn't begin until a week after Monday's start for football, golf, soccer and cross country for the high school teams. The volleyball girls will experience the same excitement.)
There is hope, and there is promise to the beginning of the season.
There is excitement. So much is new, beyond the opening of Spring Mills and a bevy of football coaches who have taken over programs at Musselman, Berkeley Springs and Jefferson.
Who can't wait to play their sport?
It's what the athletes love. It's what they enjoy.
Which must be kept in perspective.
Because the rules say they must keep score, there are winners and losers in the games.
Yes, it's hard to hang in there when the chips are down sometimes.
They do, though.
It's because they love what they're doing.
They enjoy what their doing.
Parents, let your kids have fun. Enjoy their pleasure, because that's the best way to support them.
It's why they started participating in their respective sports in the first place - because it was fun.
Let them enjoy it, for better or worse.
A soccer player will always remember that tackle she made, but not the score of a lopsided loss in the same game.
The memories will last, the special moments, be it a state championship or finishing as the last scoring runner finally in a cross country meet.
It's their sport. Let them experience it.
Far too often, parental involvement - interference - destroys the sons' and/or daughters' time in their sport.
Recently, fans - parents - from a pair of local Little League associations had a heated "discussion" during the championship game of the state tournament.
An official from the hosting organization said the tiff was serious enough that one person could've filed assault charges against another had he chosen.
All because their sons were playing in a youth baseball game?
Yeah, it's easy to share every breath with your athletic child playing a game. You just want the best for your child - what parent doesn't?
Living vicariously should provide that joy that one's child experiences, not the ancillary parts, however.
Being blessed by having those athletic children is the most important part. Some parents aren't so lucky; bad things sometimes take our children away forever.
Yeah, the athletes win some and lose some.
They still do what they do, no matter the outcome, because of the joy the sport provides.
Because it's something so simple as fun.

Handguns: Revolvers
> Heritage Arms 45lc
September 15, 2011, 06:48 PM
I'm looking for a 45lc revolver. Since revolvers are pretty reliable across the board, I'm more worried about accuracy. What do you know about Heritage Arms?

not very well made- take a look at rugers
September 15, 2011, 09:38 PM
They are made just fine, same maker in Italy (Pietta) that makes EMF's Great Western II's.
I've had this one in 45 Colt for a few years now and it's performed flawlessly.
Here's a target from the very first time I shot it, about 15 yards or so, free hand standing with Ultramax 250gr. "cowboy" loads.
I've had no problems with this gun at all.
Super Sneaky Steve

I know their .22's are very cheaply made and do break down quite often. I can't speak for their .45's.
September 15, 2011, 10:17 PM
My experience with low end SAA copies has revolved around timing. If the forcing cone is large to the point of shoving a catridge way into it and wiggling the darn thing, it was done to compensate for imperfect manufacture. The bullets enter the barrel off center and you see egg shaped or full key holes.
I tend to think this is on the front rather than the back end of manufacture. The simplest check I know of is to remove the cylinder and slide a cartridge into the barrel. If much of the case sinks in its sloppy. You can also ask if the shop has a field timing gauge and ask them to check it.
My experiences with Colt, J.P. Sauer and Uberti have been positive. You have an endorsement for Pietta (above). Hawes and Herter's were Sauers. I'd be tempted to look at the used stuff on the auction sites. I can also endorse the Virginian Dragoon and Ruger of course. With Ruger service is never an issue.
September 15, 2011, 10:29 PM
I had a Heritage .22lr/.22mag and 45LC come through the store a couple of weeks ago.
The .22lr/mag does look cheaply made, but functions quite well. The safety is what actually makes it look cheap, but it runs just as well as a Ruger single six.
The .45LC version looks, feels, and shoots just as well as any other single action 45 out there.
Heritage even sells their own line of holsters which are really nice. I ended up buying the .22lr/mag holster for my Ruger single six and it fits perfectly.
September 16, 2011, 12:52 AM
I've got the Heritage "Rough Rider" 6-shot .22/.22Magnum, and it's worked very well, so far. It has an investment cast frame, a la Ruger, but everything else is steel, and it feels pretty solid. The safety is unusual on a single action revolver, but works as it's supposed to. These are made here in the USA, which is another point in their favor. They are the same size frame as a Ruger Single Six, and holsters for one will fit the other. Heritage also makes a .32 H&R Magnum revolver on the same size frame.
The Heritage Big Bore single actions in .357 Magnum and .45 Colt are assembled here, but the component parts are manufactured in Italy by Pietta. I'd call them comparable to the Uberti Cattleman line of traditional SAA type revolvers. They look like fair quality for the price, but I'd hesitate loading them up with handloads labeled "Ruger Only." To be fair, I wouldn't shoot the hot loads in a traditional Colt SAA, either.
September 16, 2011, 12:46 PM
What do you know about Heritage Arms?
The .22lr/22 wmr version is made out of cheaper matrials.
Their bigger bore revolvers are fine. Buy it if you like it.
September 16, 2011, 01:06 PM
again, not very well made... we stopped carrying them because too many came back with problems
September 16, 2011, 02:52 PM
I bought a Heritage .22LR/.22WMR last week, fired over 1,000 rounds out of it so far and no issues, I think it's built very well.
September 18, 2011, 03:15 PM
Thanks!! I think I'm leaning towards the Ruger.

On Wednesday, videoconferencing specialist Polycom (NASDAQ: PLCM ) announced it has signed a definitive agreement to purchase privately-held Sentri, "a leading provider of advanced services with expertise in Microsoft technologies (such as Microsoft Lync™, SharePoint and Office 365), UC&C, video collaboration, cloud services and networking." The purchase price is said to be "less than $10 million," and the transaction is expected to close in Q1 2013.
In a statement on the acquisition, Polycom cited Sentri's "deep expertise integrating Microsoft Lync with Polycom solutions" as a key reason it wanted to own the company. As the company explained:
Polycom has a portfolio of more than 40 video and voice products that interoperate with Lync, and the majority of customers choose Polycom and Microsoft over other vendors for a complete UC&C solution.
Citing a Gartner research report, Polycom noted that the global market for video collaboration services is already valued at $1.6 billion, and could grow as much as 21% to $2.94 billion by 2016.
Polycom shares are nonetheless down today, closing off 2.2%, at $10.93.

Annual "College Day" Features Information on Wide Variety of State and Regional Higher Education Institutions Available on OSU Institute of Technology Campus
This Wednesday, November 10 from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., more than 200 high school juniors and seniors from Okmulgee County high schools will have the opportunity to visit with representatives from 45 state and regional colleges and universities during "College Day." The event, held in Covelle Hall on the OSU Institute of Technology campus, is sponsored by the Oklahoma College Day/Night Coordination Committee under the direction of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. It is open to all high school juniors, seniors and counselors.
Each year around fifty high schools and colleges across the state host college day/night programs to provide students with information needed to make a college decision. Representatives from two- and four-year colleges and universities are in attendance to visit with prospective students about admissions, scholarships, financial aid, housing and areas of academic interest. College day/night programs are either in a browsing or presentation format. The event on the OSU Institute of Technology campus will be in a browsing format, which allows students to visit with as many representatives as they wish during the program.

Meanwhile, a family of four escaped a fire that destroyed their home early Easter morning in the 1300 block of West Harris, near the Houston-Pasadena border, KTRK-TV reports on its website.
Firefighters found the house engulfed in flames when the first responders arrived about 5:30 a.m. Officials tell Channel 13 they are investigating the cause.

Forgotten Film Synopses: Akmareul boatda I Saw the Devil.
Uploaded 08/06/2011
This blog contains a film SYNOPSIS - spoilers and plot points are revealed throughout. Where personal reservations on film details are concerned, you peruse at your own discretion.
Sure, it's not exactly old, but Akmareul boatda [I Saw the Devil.] (2010) is one of those psychological/gore thrillers too awesome and brilliantly executed to go unnoticed or fall into obscurity.
It opens with Joo-yeon (San-ha Oh) speaking to her fiancee via cell. She had been driving alone at night on ice-slicked roads when her minivan slid onto the shoulder, becoming wedged against the rail guard.
It isn't long before a stranger (Min-sik Choi) appears at her window, to see if she needs help. Reluctantly, Joo-yeon allows the man to check out the extent of the damage, and finds that her tires are flat, among other things. Thoroughly creeped out by this man, Joo-yeon claims she appreciates the aid, but prefers to sit and wait for the tow truck to arrive, since they're already on their way.
A few minutes pass and the mysterious man, who had pulled over in front of her, doesn't give any indication he's ready to leave. Joo-yeon clicks on her headlights to get a better view, when suddenly the man appears outside her window again, and forces himself inside, beating Joo-yeon with a tack hammer.
She awakes later, wrapped in plastic and on the stone floor of some garage-like area, where the strange man - sharpening his knives and smoking a cigarette - had dragged her. It appears as if he plans to literally hack her into pieces, and she pleads for her life, claiming she's pregnant and has to live.
This makes no difference to the deranged killer, though, who promptly chops her up limb by limb, before going to work hosing down the area and moving to dispose of the corpse.
The next day, a little boy is picking through various overgrowth beneath the overpass bridge when he comes across a random plastic shopping bag. Curious, he checks inside, only to horrifically behold a cleanly-cut outer ear.
By that evening, the area is packed with no less than a 50-man search team, scouring the place for any sign of clues or evidence. An old man appears, and argues with police over his missing daughter. As it turns out, this guy was Special Det. in Charge of Violent Crimes for over 30 years - and now, more than ever, the victim's rescue is the top priority.
Yet almost immediately, two men come across what appears at first to be human hair, but what turns out to be the floating head of Joo-yeon. That poor old man...
By now the press and search team are swarming like mad ants over this discovery, and control of the crowd is so lax one forensics specialist is even knocked to the ground, prompting Joo-yeon's head to fly out of the box and roll over the grass. That poor, POOR old man...
And in the middle of everything, witnessing the scene with utter shock and appall, is Joo-yeon's fiancee, NIS Agent Kim Soo-hyeon (Byung-hun Lee). It's through the old man that the two met, and were only engaged a few months before this harrowing event.
The funeral service was predictably full of heartache and promises of revenge. Soo-hyeon promises Joo-yeon the man responsible will be made to feel a pain 10,000 times stronger than any he had ever inflicted, and tells his boss he'll only be taking 2 weeks off in place of the few months he was urged to spend in mourning.
Meeting with the old man, Soo-hyeon learns the identities of four men on the criminal list for similar offenses, and through a link to a separate division, secures himself a mobile GPS and capsule mic - and immediately goes to work.
The first dude was in the middle of some pretty interesting porn when his power suddenly goes off. Turning around, he finds a very mad Soo-hyeon holding the cord, and proceeds to get beaten, strangled, and tied to the chair. Unfortunately, though, this man claims to know nothing of the minivan or the circumstances surrounding Joo-yeon. But that doesn't stop Soo-hyeon from beating his junk to a pulp with a claw wrench.
At the hospital a short time later, a group of cops find that the man has "confessed" to several previously unsolved crimes, though they can't seem to figure out why he's banged up, or whether they (for some reason) believe someone else had smashed his cock n' balls.
"Some guy hit his penis with a hammer badly"
The second man is dealt with pretty straightforwardly, in comparison. Cruisin' on his little motorbike, Soo-hyeon appears on the road to knock his ass off of it, and beats the living hell out of him. Later that night, he removes the man's mugshot and wrap sheet from his operations board; we can only assume Soo-hyeon ended up putting him permanently out of commission. He attempts to simply go to sleep, but is nagged awake by his thoughts instead. No, it isn't the pull of conscience that rouses him, but the obsessive drive to immediately study the appearance of the next vile man on his list...
In the meantime, our killer is back in his yellow extended van, prowling the streets for a new victim. He catches sight of a young woman standing alone at a bus stop, seemingly unsure as to whether or not she arrived too late in the evening to catch a ride home.
Foolishly, she accepts a lift from the man, who pulls over onto a deserted roadway, brandishes a tire iron, and beats the woman unconscious. This time around, he decides to utilize a homemade guillotine to chop her up before treating us to a little ditty on his guitar.
The next day, Soo-hyeon arrives at the last known address of the third man, who's name is Jang Kyung-chul, and is greeted by the guy's mother. He uses the excuse of being an insurance agent needing to verify his identity since there are other men with the same legal name in S. Korea. The mom is able to say with certainty that Kyung-chul is indeed her son, although she's frightened by his appearance in the photo.
Just then her husband awakens from his nap and the two argue and bitch with each other on how audacious it is their son would up and leave home years before, leaving them with his now preteen son, and inquire as to whether or not they receive any money in the event of his death.
Meeting the child of this man Soo-hyeon knows is the guy, he asks him where it is his father now resides. Wasting no time, he walks right into the place, breaking restraints on a heavily-guarded file cabinet, where Soo-hyeon uncovers a series of random bras, cell phones, makeup, perfume bottles, and various other victims' items.
He then notices a ripped-up hole in the wall, its other side revealing a large cement-floored storage area of some sort. Blood stains still remain near the drainage grating, where Soo-hyeon recovers Joo-yeon's engagement ring...
The next afternoon, a school teacher informs a familiar-looking academic van's driver not to dilly-dally on the ride to drop the kids off. It's Kyung-chul!! And now the police team are too late. Demanding the school secretary call the driver immediately back to the building, Kyung-chul's cell goes off en route, and a hunch tells him he's found out.
Rather than taking the last little girl home, he decides to drive her to a new location, a greenhouse/plant storage building, where he attempts to rape her.
Fortunately, Soo-hyeon had thought ahead and used the tracking device / GPS to follow the killer, and busts in to save the little girl before any damage could be done.
What ensues is a major battle between the two men, involving the use of a sickle and knife - on Kyung-chul's part.
Subdued, Soo-hyeon finds the opportunity to smash the prick's head in with a large rock to end it... but instead, he administers the mic capsule, and Kyung-chul wakes to find both the Agent and his intended victim gone, his left hand and wrist broken to the point of non-use, and a large amount of cash in a folded paper on his chest. What is going on??
Why did Soo-hyeon break Kyung-chul's wrist and hand but not kill him? Why in the fuck did he leave the killer cash? What antics are next for everyone's favorite psycho serial killer? Find out in the synopsis continuation...

LG Optimus G Pro vs Sony Xperia Z
Sony Xperia Z or the LG Optimus G Pro? This will be one of the dilemmas before high-end phone buyers this season, so we stage a comparison to ease the decision-making process.
The Optimus G Pro we are using here is the version for Korea, and comes with a 5.5" Full HD screen, while the model announced for Japan has a 5" display, and which variation will hit the US and Europe in Q2, remains to be confirmed. Still, besides the screen size, both G Pro versions are identical, so you will get a pretty good overview in any case...
The 5.5" Optimus G Pro version is very light and compact for a screen of this magnitude, thanks to the ultra-thin bezel around it, yet it is a challenge to operate safely with one hand, unlike the Xperia Z. Sony has used on-screen navigational keys, so its 5" flagship is pretty compact in its turn, and is thinner and lighter than the G Pro, making it more suitable for a daily driver in terms of ergonomics or plain old carry-around.
Sony's phone also sports a more premium feeling in the hand with its glass unibody and metal power key, and is easier to grip thanks to the rubbery sides that also add to its durability and seal off the water-tight chassis. Both handsets allow you to add more memory via a microSD slot, but the G Pro has a removable back cover, too, that lets you swap its largish 3140 mAh battery.
Left sides
Rear cameras
The sides of the LG Optimus G Pro (bottom, left) and the Sony Xperia Z (top, right)
The G Pro houses a 5.5" screen with a bit lesser 401ppi pixel density than the 5" 441ppi panel on the Z, on account of the identical 1080x1920 pixel resolutions. In reality the density difference is invisible from a normal viewing distance, while LG's phone has the better display in almost any other aspect, especially viewing angles, which on the Sony Xperia Z are pretty bad for the phone's category, and one of the handset's weakest points.
Even when looked head-on, the colors and contrast of the TFT display on the Z look more washed out than on the IPS-LCD panel of the G Pro.
In terms of brightness both perform above average, with decent outside visibility, but, as we mentioned, colors and contrast deteriorate quickly on the Z with the slightest tilt of the phone.

35. Airforce (Posts: 68; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
why do i have a feeling..NOTES AND PHONES ARE BECOMING SIMILAR..in screen size..Like what the FCUK...phones are now having screen sizes of 5" or higher..I guess in 2014..there wont be any difference in a phone nd NOTE any more
2. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Obviously Xperia Z wins lol.
7. MrKoles (Posts: 368; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
Tell me, please, why?
9. zuckerboy (banned) (Posts: 898; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
bcuz he is sony fan :D
32. SonyFan (Posts: 22; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)
+faster software updates
+more custom roms for xperia z
+not plastic
+better cam
now you know why?
36. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
You can name everything the LG does better as well. At least try to approach this from both sides or your comment becomes completely irrelevant.
I'd personally go with the Xperia Z because it is more comfortable to hold and has a premium feel to it, wish it was coming to AT&T.
50. MrKoles (Posts: 368; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
-Water resistance is a bulls**t, created by Sony ;)
-Faster software updates? You must be kidding...slow and no quality (ICS 4.0 for 2012 lineup).
-Really small percent of users are using custom roms.
-LG plastic has brilliant quality, and it´s not as fragile as glass. (personal experience).
-You can eat the 13mpx sensor for dinner and lunch...the same: no quality.
Now I would like to ask you, do you know, why I don´t know?
52. harshithh (Posts: 12; Member since: 18 Feb 2013)
we can see some guy is really jealous of sony xperia z
53. MrKoles (Posts: 368; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
Oh, of course...How can a human being be jealous of a TELEPHONE? Maybe, you have put something in your breakfast hat shouldn´t be there.
55. taikucing (unregistered)
and more importantly, LG has IPS display while xperia Z still uses TFT crap. And the exmor sensor is too overrated.
59. rgxVOiD (Posts: 440; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
So water resistance is bulls**t but not having one is a good thing?
68. bshp2000 (Posts: 5; Member since: 29 Jul 2013)
-Water resistance is not bulls**t, I know from experience,
-LG plastic may be tougher but plastic can never match glass or metal in terms of quality,
-Sure, megapixels don't usually matter much, but it still counts, in terms of the image resolution.
20. wendygarett (unregistered)
I choose neither, both looks crap to me :)
24. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Says person in whose user profile "Want it" section we can see "Sony Xperia Z"...
25. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Says the person whose user profile says:
"My goal is to attract as many red thumb as I can, and pretend Apple fanboys (and Samsung fanboys as well) to show how stupidity these fanboys are :)."
37. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
While I would personally choose the HTC One over these device they certainly do not look like crap. It's sad to think that you believe Samsung's plastic phones do NOT look like crap and that these do.
*Samsung makes great phones, but they do not look very good IMHO.
54. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
why sony??
whats this hell??
sony only focus on watter proof but whats another its has??
-not good screen

Stupid Sony!!

The English in this comment gave me cancer
66. skyguy7567 (Posts: 148; Member since: 17 Nov 2012)
I bath with my Xperia Z. What's the problem? The screen is 100% gorgeous! Don't remember that there's the Mobile Bravia Engine 2 there for great photos and great video. The camera is extremely detailed and delivers very realistic photoshots. If you are not satisfied with somehow strange color, you can surely fix that in the standard photo mode, instead of using Superior Auto. Good screen but compact device always comes with a not too long-lasting battery. I don't know what you're talking about the high cost but in my city is 1/5 cheaper than the other expensive phones.
69. bshp2000 (Posts: 5; Member since: 29 Jul 2013)
Not good screen? Xperia Z has the same screen resolution as S4, 441 ppi. Camera is excellent, or at least on the same level as Optimus G Pro, tons of other phones (iPhone 5, HTC One, Z10, etc.) have non-removable battery. And as for price, Xperia Z is cheaper than Optimus G
3. MrKoles (Posts: 368; Member since: 20 Jan 2013)
No way... G Pro rules!
4. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Xperia Z.
5. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
g pro over most phones right now till the gs4 note 3 come out anyway lol
6. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
Sony all the way!
8. mocir (Posts: 23; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
If you show both phones to random people, they would obviously choose the Z.
10. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
And btw Xperia Z also support Wifi direct and Miracast.
11. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I chose Sony Xperia Z.
12. ryq24 (Posts: 721; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Optimus g pro should have won but it loses because its an lg!

Open the ports to let the heat out, man!
21. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
For a moment i thought it was Samsung and not LG.
23. bhagi108 (Posts: 21; Member since: 09 May 2012)
And I thought the Xperia Z was BIG. Good thing I decided on the HTC One to replace my Lumia 920.
26. monkeytown (Posts: 125; Member since: 26 Jul 2012)
g pro >>> z anyday
27. serge327 (Posts: 73; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
I don't ever care the phone's viewing angle.. because i didn't use my phone from side way.. also.. i hope the phone keep the bad viewing angle to avoid ppls to see my phone content when i am outside.. But say really, the Xperia Z screen color look better than LG Pro in normal angle. that's enough... I like SONY, because of it premium design, elegant UI, and the design always surprise me when SONY launch a new phone. This is just my opinion (Sorry for my bad english)
28. Tigon8 (Posts: 2; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
I wonder why they left the antutu results for the xperia z out! Oh yeah I do because the Z scores almost 21000 beating the G Pro even though it has a "inferior" processor checking online it looks like the Z beats the problem on a number of other benchmarks to, just looking at the pro I think to myself how desperate and useless can you be that a company this big can't design their own products, I'm amazed Samsung hasn't sued them yet even the icons are the same well at least they managed to include the cheap plastic body to lol, sorry for the long comment.
30. ddxmms (Posts: 170; Member since: 09 Feb 2012)
stop fighting like kids !
there are both better than the iPhone, and that's the only thing that matter !
31. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
both are great phones,,but its a hard choice... I'd be happy, with either one ..
33. Esf_Kid (Posts: 49; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
worked with Z tonight and going to buy a white one tomorrow.
the most beautiful phone i posses in my life.
i felt the meaning of PREMIUM.
38. TMach (Posts: 454; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Guess the reviewer has been smoking something.......I own the Xperia Z in white and for someone who has used pretty damn much every top end phone, this is the best display I have seen on a phone...SIMPLE! Until something else like the HTC One proves otherwise, in any event, but until then it is the Xperia Z. That is not all, build quality is another Sony USP and I will always take a Sony over plastic, anytime!
39. soshi (Posts: 154; Member since: 08 Mar 2012)
LG pro looks like samsung, both hardware and interface
40. tttony (Posts: 29; Member since: 22 Jul 2012)
The LG is a Phablet, is too big...
41. papss (unregistered)
I agree.. The Sony phone is pretty nice and premium while lg dropped the ball with this one.. LG has been making great strides in design until this copy of a cheap looking phone.
42. MAG33 (Posts: 13; Member since: 23 Feb 2013)
if you dont have mental problems you clearly see that optimus pro is much better
43. billy3010 (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
There is an error in the review - Sony Xperia Z also has it's own internet browser that allows for flash/desktop site.
With regards to updates, both manufacturers are slow to update but LG are the absolute pits - for this reason alone, I will never own another handset by them regardless of their innovation and specs.
I own a white Xperia Z - I can hold it/use functions (just about) with one hand, mainly due to the positioning of the on/off/standby button on the side. Anything bigger (like the LG) and it would be impossible
44. Dj567 (Posts: 7; Member since: 07 Mar 2013)
this guy always sees the negatives.... so, he might not have been able to buy a phone for himself
47. legend1 (Posts: 104; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
in terms of processing ability the lg is a lot more powerful but in camera and design the z is better and screen
49. Googlethis (Posts: 179; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
both look good but i think ill get the xperia z just like the way it looks.
56. DesmondZ01 (Posts: 3; Member since: 09 Mar 2013)
Water resistance is awesome, going to the beach and dropping it into a bucket of water or anywhere wouldn't be a problem. xperia z has a unique design which kinda attracts my attention but the optimus g looks similar to note 2?!
65. skyguy7567 (Posts: 148; Member since: 17 Nov 2012)
I saw a review on the Optimus G Pro on Youtube, and guess what, the device lagged RIGHT AT THE START OF THE VIDEO WHILE SCROLLING THE SCREEN! Seems that 1.7 Ghz is not enough. Get the Sony Xperia Z. Who cares about viewing angles?! You won't view your phone HORIZONTALLY won't you?
71. bshp2000 (Posts: 5; Member since: 29 Jul 2013)
Sony Xperia Z over Optimus G Pro, but I'd say the HTC One is best for hardware, GS4 for software. Still, these phones are extremely impressive phones and it obviously comes down to personal preference. I personally don't like calling with "phones" that are the size of iPad Minis.

LG G Pro Is A Lot Better Than Xperia Z Because All Benchmarks Are Alot HIgher. Far Better Talk Time. Lesser Bezel. TFT Has No Match For IPS. In Its Kitkat Update There Are No Lags.
Plus If Your Phone Gets Jammed Or You Are In Factory Reset Mode And Your Phone Gets Stucked How The Hell Will You Take Off Your Battery. So Optimus G Pro Has A Removable-Battery. It Also Contains Universal Remote Controller Through Which You Can Control Almost Every Remote Controlled Device. It Also Has Curved Screen And Many More Features So Xperia Z Has No Match For It.

BRIDGEWATER – Somerset County Vocational & Technical High Schools' Culinary Arts program added another incentive for their students by establishing an articulation agreement with Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island.
After meeting with Dr. Paul J McVety, Dean of Culinary Academics, in accordance with the certified program process, SCVTHS Culinary Arts Instructors Chefs Mark Mastrobattista and John Vingara knew they would be able to accomplish the articulation agreement with ease. SCVTHS Culinary Arts Instructor John Vingara was quoted as stating, "When you have a great program and everyone recognizes it, these things happen." The whole process, which typically takes weeks to months to review and finalize, was able to be completed in mere hours. Chef Mastrobattista added, "This not only gives the students more of a chance to save some money, but also rewards the fact they went through our program. If they're good enough, then they can master those skills earlier and move faster through college."
As part of the Johnson & Wales University FAST program, SCVTHS Culinary Arts students are now allowed the opportunity to take a practical exam, where they can receive a total of nine quarter credits towards their JWU degree. In addition to taking the practical exam, students are also required to complete the SCVTHS Culinary Arts program with a minimum of a B (3.0) grade-point-average, have instructor recommendation, and meet all requirements for acceptance to Johnson & Wales University. In addition, SCVTHS students in the Culinary Arts program are also qualified to take part in the Advanced Standing Program. Eligible students will be required to satisfy all the requirements of the FAST program, and also take part in an intensive 10 week summer program at Johnson & Wales University. If successful, by taking part in the Advanced Standing Program, students will gain a total of forty five quarter credits for the cost of fifteen.

A husband/wife team of designers, we believe in a world where cross-stitch doesn't have to be boring, old-fashioned, or time consuming!View all patterns by designer (88) »
If I was actually brave enough to get a tattoo, this is probably what I would get inked on my skin - as it is, I'm happy just to stitch it up - this is my motto!
This cross-stitch pattern comes with a full colour chart with floss legends in DMC, JP Coats, and Anchor, although of course all colours can be replaced as per the stitcher's preference.
This pattern is simple and suitable for beginners. We've included our best stitching tips for both beginners and more experienced stitchers and if you're completely new to the craft there's a good how-to video courtesy of Yarn Tree at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr_LfGr1v0E

Rude, arrogant, impatient man with zero compassion. Not the kind of person you want to have to talk to when you are already not feeling well. Perfect example of a person who may have the training but has completely lost touch with the caring side of medicine.
Seems competent and caring.
Had referral but could not get appt for 4 months. His own staff member mentioned in confidence that there were openings but my insurance doesn't reimburse well so pts with better insurance were given priority. When finally seen Dr Garland (Rad)Moeller was arrogant and abrupt and made it clear that he did not agree with my Fam Dr diagnosis or with other test results stating that I should get "smart Docs to read them". He spoke continuously (often about his glorious credentials) but didn't listen and only asked questions to support his already formed opinion and had little patience for more than 1 word answers. Insurance was billed for level 5 (most comprehensive) visit when appt certainly did not meet the criteria for level 5. Also ordered unnecessary tests that had just been performed by Fam Dr because they could be done in Dr. Moeller's office and he could also bill for these.Very disconcerting experience for a sick and vulnerable patient. May be competent in specialty but could not get past the rude, unprofessional, possibly fraudulant encounter. He bragged that he was the only rheumatologist for 6 counties so didn't have room in his schedule. Office staff had already told me he only allows them to book 1 new pt per day. Do yourself a favor, travel to Wilmington or Greenville and avoid maltreatment or giving any more $ to this awful guy.

Prototype Kilogram 20, replica
|ca. 1875-1889 On virtual loan from the NIST Automated Production Technology Division
After the Treaty of the Meter had been signed in 1875, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Sevres, France, procured 43 prototype kilograms of platinum-iridium in the form of right circular cylinders of equal diameter and height (approximately 39 mm) with slightly rounded edges. One of the group, having essentially the same mass as the kilogramme des Archives, was selected as the International Prototype Kilogram, and is now maintained at BIPM. National Prototype Kilograms No. 20 and No. 4 were received by the United States from BIPM in 1890. After The Mendenhall Order in 1893, Kilogram No. 20 became the primary national standard for all mass measurements. Its mass relative to the International Prototype Kilogram was reported as 0.999 999 961 kg. The reported displacement volume at a temperature of 0°C was 46.402 cm3.
