It doesn't even have an argument that makes sense. It feels like Romero over-identifying with the topic and losing the thread somewhere along the way--and padding the runtime with far too many pedestrian bike stunts.

After giving birth to the impossibly precocious Lucy (Dakota Fanning), the vagrant mom vamooses ("I never wanted this! I just wanted a place to sleep!"), leaving Sam solely responsible for the raising of the child. With the help of eccentric piano-playing recluse Dianne Wiest (perhaps fulfilling a bizarre ambition to play Madame Sousatzka), Sam learns an infant's feeding schedule (by timing it to late-night Nickelodeon programming), shops for diapers, and realizes that he needs to find daycare if he wants to keep his job tidying sugar cosies at the local Starbucks. (Feel-good, politically-correct bullshit being a saltlick for corporate sponsors, Starbucks, International House of Pancakes, Target, and Pizza Hut all helped fund I Am Sam.)

It's not a good movie, but it has a hell of a supporting cast--Christopher Walken, Eli Wallach, and Ava Gardner, just for starters--and that specific, vaguely gritty time-and-place authenticity that you could only get by shooting on location in New York City in the 1970s. For this type of genre piece, that ensures a small kind of immortality, but Winner, indifferently adapting a best-selling novel and barely directing a lead actress who hates him, brings to it a certain je ne sais quoi that pushes it over the line into the sleazeball hall of fame.

Ryan Spindell) For certain artists working in the short-film format, I don't have any idea how or why it is they haven't been called up to the big leagues yet. This speaks as much to my prejudice, obviously: there's nothing wrong with the short form. In literature, many of my favourite writers are best in the short form. In film, though, there's so little real opportunity for distribution that it seems a particular shame when guys like Ryan Spindell have only produced shorts. I'm not complaining (his work is excellent), merely hoping he has the means to continue. Spindell's latest, The Babysitter Murders, is so expertly composited that it would be kind of a shame to dissect it at all. Sufficed to say that it unearths a new place to take Wes Craven's Scream meta funhouse, and does it without a hint of smugness or show-off-y insecurity. It's beautifully paced, conceived, and executed. Look at a cooking scene early on, set to "Fast & Sweet" by Mondo Boys feat. Kestrin Pantera--the way it's shot and edited, the way Elie Smolkin's camera stalks and Eric Ekman cuts it all together. The movie's premise--a...

For the Chinese, you see, math is like art. It says so in this book that was written over the course of a thousand years. For the type of audience that gets off on those Olympics puff pieces where the Chinese are portrayed as opportunistic monsters who sell their children to the national team, it's a special sort of Eurocentric auto-flattery. The implication, see, is that although you're about to lose to the Chinese, they're still morally inferior to you. The Chinese, you understand, don't love their children. And they're good at math. Also, they're sexually naive, you know, because it's not like Asia is horrifically over-populated or anything. Later, a British guy quotes Keats in relation to how if truth is beauty and beauty is truth, then math...

But director Michael Fischa is swinging for the B-movie fences from the very first shot--a Steadicam number that pans across its view of Sunset Boulevard, animated lightning bolts flashing over the Hollywood Hills, before craning down into the parking lot in front of the Starbody Health Spa. Dreamy, Tangerine Dream-esque synths well up on the soundtrack.

Articulate, thoughtful (over the telephone and in his work), he reminds me the most of Errol Morris in that his unmistakable eccentricity is matched by a desire unquenchable to find truth in unconventional places. Solondz agreed to an interview upon the release of his fifth feature, Palindromes (he asks folks not to track down his directorial debut, Fear, Anxiety & Depression, which my editor, Bill, describes as something like a satire of Solondz films), another picture garnering an extreme amount of political fallout following the similarly-tumultuous receptions to his Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, and Storytelling. I was pleased to chat with Mr. Solondz about living life misunderstood. FILM FREAK CENTRAL: Why the "culture war"? TODD SOLONDZ: Geez, that's a good question. I don't know the answer, in fact I'm guessing by how and what you write that you might have a better perspective on it than I do.

Sure, his Chucky, a walking-and-talking "Good Guy doll" possessed by the soul of a serial killer, is a steal. Nothing original about it. Chucky is a foul-mouthed iteration of creepy Toys "R" Us killers from any number of horror films--most of them dating to Cavalcanti's famous segment from 1945's Dead of Night, though another key influence was the notoriously pants-wetting 1975 TV movie Trilogy of Terror, with its murderous Zuni fetish doll sharing the screen with a terrified Karen Black. But something about Mancini's formulation clicked with Fright Night director Tom Holland, and the 1988 Child's Play, which detailed Chucky's origin story and pitted him against a young boy, was a low-budget success that naturally demanded sequels. Mancini remained on board as screenwriter as two more directors took on two more Child's Play entries. After 1991's Child's Play 3, the character seemed played-out, but Mancini successfully resurrected him with the...

Abrams by Walter Chaw The best and only successful joke of Adam Larson Broder and Tony R. Abrams's unspeakably bad Pumpkin is borrowed from another Christina Ricci film: the last primp that she performs on herself in Don Roos's The Opposite of Sex is a quick pinch of her nipples to bring them into sharper relief; that's pretty funny, and in Pumpkin, Ms. Ricci's nipples in various sorority sweaters are an Anne Heche-ian running gag never commented upon.

It's to DaSilva's great credit that that curiosity about what will become of him is developed in more than prurient ways with an unexpected but welcome detour into what it means to struggle through the normal checkpoints of a committed relationship--babies and all--when one also has a degenerative illness with an uncertain endgame. That isn't to say we should celebrate the film simply for being something other than a depressive's video diary of his body gone awry, but that DaSilva's hook is honestly come by and cannily placed. What's more, it pays off to the extent that DaSilva is a mordantly funny subject, candid about his bodily quirks, his vanities, and his anxieties. Likable as he is as a star, there are elements of DaSilva's approach as a filmmaker that give one pause. Too often he indulges in canned positivity and Sundance quirk as means of...

Just think of Million Dollar Baby, which tries and fails to use Hilary Swank's impairment as a narrative shortcut for Clint Eastwood's transformation into a tender father, troubled Catholic, and euthanizer-turned-agent of transcendence all at once. Eastwood the director has to stumble over the mechanics of his scene partner's newly-maimed body and horizontal status, fudging the timeline so that her bedsores appear to sprout within minutes of her injury and puzzling over how to frame her, whether as a head poking out of a hospital bed in the background or a wheelchair-sporting cyborg parked in dead centre, staring out her hospital window like a forlorn puppy.

Revisiting Robert Redford's The Horse Whisperer fourteen years after I last saw it, I am relieved to encounter a film that isn't simply marking time until a climactic moment that was for me a cherished eureka at the movies. The picture begins with Grace (13-year-old Scarlett Johansson) rising at the crack of dawn to go horseback riding with her friend Judith (Kate Bosworth, billed as "Catherine"). Redford focuses on Johansson's socked feet slinking past her parents' bedroom door, and subsequently draws a lot of attention to legs and feet here--not in a fetish-y way, but as if they're a person's "tell." I misremembered this scene, for what it's worth, as Grace doing something wrong by sneaking out, but in fact her parents are not at all surprised to find her gone by the time they're up and around. Mom (Kristin Scott Thomas) is basically Anna Wintour--her name's even Annie--and Dad, Robert (Sam Neill),...

Gandhi's film begins with a philosophical conceit from Plutarch--the question of whether a ship that's been repaired using parts from other vessels can be considered the same ship at all--and workshops it through three seemingly-disconnected stories set in modern-day Mumbai. All three strands, which unfold like a series of one-act plays, are preoccupied with the biological analogy of Theseus's broken-down ship, a leaky body that needs an organ transplant to survive. And while the finale that brings them together is unnecessarily tidy, the individual segments strike a fine balance between humanism and intellectual rigor. Though there are some technical blips that lend the film an unfinished feel, this is generally strong work for a neophyte. What's impressive is how each story addresses the marching orders of the central paradox without sacrificing characterization. It would have been easy, for instance, to bungle the opening portrait of Aaliya (Aida El-Kashef), a blind photographer whose artistic process involves shooting by instinct and developing the finished work through a multi-step process of vectorizing...

About Up There
A comedy that looks at the lighter side of purgatory. Martin (Burn Gorman), recently deceased in a car accident, has been dispatched to a 'Restart centre' to learn how to cope with being dead. Rather than being set free into an everlasting Paradise he's been forced into a boring job welcoming other ex-people into the afterlife. They must be handled carefully as there is a danger that they will bolt in fright when they realise that they are dead. Unfortunately, Martin and his incessantly chirpy colleague Rash (Aymen Hamdouchi) manage to lose one of their wards and have to find him before Martin loses his chance to ascend to a higher plane. They give chase to a small seaside town and meet the philosophical Liz (Kate O'Flynn) who may be able to help.

Lightroom Goes Mobile/
With the recent release of Lightroom 5.4 your images are no longer tethered to your computer. Adobe now offers an iOS app called Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom on the Web. You now have a somewhat convenient way to work on your images from an iPad. You can run Lightroom Mobile on all versions of the iPad (except the 1st generation) and the iPad mini. The Lightroom Mobile app is available for FREE on the app store.
This is a pretty complete offering considering that it is version 1. It makes me hopeful that the team has much more in store for us. After all, consider how much Lightroom has changed and improved since its version 1 release.
Julieanne Kost offers a nice exposition of the features in Lightroom Mobile on her Adobe TV channel. Spend a few minutes and watch all four episodes to get an introduction to what Lightroom Mobile can do. Here is episode 1 to get you started.
Lightroom mobile extends your existing workflows beyond the desktop. Lightroom mobile allows you to utilize your iPad to do all sorts of great things and have the changes sync back to your Lightroom catalog at home, including: nor
- access images in your Lightroom catalog
- make selects, reject unworthy photos
- apply a preset
- refine your adjustments using all your favorites from the Basic panel, including Highlights, Shadows, and Clarity
- import new photos directly from the camera roll
As with many tablet apps, Lightroom Mobile hides many of its capabilities and the workflow is not immediately intuitive. I suggest that the first thing you do after downloading it is to open the settings menu and click on the gestures option so you can learn the "secret" handshakes.
You will soon get the hang of the interface. Lightroom Mobile provides access to data, histograms, adjustments, presets, cropping, flags and more.
Yes. You are limited to the built in set of presets and there are no flags or stars. But, remember, this is only version 1.
If you want a really deep dive into Lightroom Mobile (and Lightroom on the Web) I would heartily suggest you run over to Victoria Bampton's site The Lightroom Queen and buy a copy of her newest eBook Adobe Lightroom Mobile 1 for iPad - The Missing FAQ.
It's a bargain at £3.95 (or about $6.75). Full of screen shots, tips, gesture advice, and more. Victoria's Missing FAQ books are a must have.
Lightroom on the Web is a much less exciting offer. It is available at https://lightroom.adobe.com/ and offers very basic functionality. Your images and collections are populated on the site as you synchronize them with Lightroom Mobile. There is no editing capability and you cannot even share a single image. Sharing is done at the collection level. You can see which collections are shareable (i.e. Public) by the small share icon in the corner.
There is also a basic slideshow capability with no way to customize. All in all, this is the weakest link in the mobile toolset.
While I am excited that Lightroom has made its way to the iPad I have to say I am disappointed in Adobe's strategy here. In order to use Lightroom Mobile you must have a paid subscription to the Creative Cloud. The least expensive membership is the Photographer's special offer at $9.99 per month (and that offer expires in a few months). True, you get a lot as a Creative Cloud member but that's not the point.
Lightroom still remains a stand alone application as well as being offered through Creative Cloud. It has numerous ways to share images with many different services and sites. Even a free Creative Cloud membership comes with 2Gb of online storage. So why didn't Adobe offer Lightroom Mobile without forcing users into a paid Creative Cloud membership? I don't really know. I believe that the Creative Cloud is a great deal overall. However, if I were a Lightroom user and did not use anything else I would be upset by this tie in for Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom on the Web.
So if you are a Creative Cloud member you should not hesitate to give this a try. If you aren't a member you can still try it for 30 days. But don't wait. If you decide you like it you'll need to grab that $9.99 deal before it expires.

When an intruder enters the area of protection, the alarm automatically begins barking like an angry German Shepard. From outside, it sounds like you have a very unfriendly canine inside.
With it's radar eyes, the alarm can "see" through thick doors, walls and glass.
The closer a person gets, the louder and more ferocious the barking seems to grow. This lets those burglars or intruders know that the dwelling isn't empty.
Most criminals would try to find an easier home to break into rather than deal with a ferocious animal.
This device can protect homes, apartments, mobile homes, RV's, jewelry stores, hotels, factories, warehouses, public and private buildings of virtually every kind. Includes a remote control to arm and disarm the unit.
This type of alarm is even used to ward off and alert against bear intrusions. Bears do not like the sound of barking, especially when they can't see where it's coming from.
A black bear will generally shy away from a confrontation rather than engage in human contact...or an alert pup and a human.
Your new "pet" will monitor your door and will bark, ferociously if necessary, when an unexpected intruder approaches.
This preventative warning will alert you to the possible danger and also alert the bear or burglar that they need to stop and think about what they are doing.
You will get the time you need to arm yourself and/or call the police.
Police say a barking dog is an excellent way to deter burglars and this one never needs food, water, or to be taken for a walk. This is the ideal watchdog because he does what even the best living and breathing watchdog can't do.
He can "see" through thick doors, walls, and glass. And once his cord is plugged into any standard 110 VAC electrical outlet, he'll stay on duty around the clock, indefinitely.
Choose any location indoors where you want to detect movement such as hidden behind the front door. Turn it on and your new pet begins sensing and detecting.
When movement is detected, he will alert you with the sounds you have chosen.
Choose from two settings: alert sound of an angry and protective watchdog or a chime sound to alert you of a guest's arrival.
When in the barking mode, it begins to emit the ferocious sounds of a large, unhappy attack animal. The closer the intruder gets, the louder and more frequent the warning becomes.
As the intruder backs off, the barking decreases in intensity and frequency, stopping completely when movement is out of range.
Made by Homesafe, a leader in home security devices, this product never sleeps. It will bark angrily as an intruder approaches or play a nice chime to alert you to a visitor!
The included remote control lets you Arm and Disarm the system, as well as set off a Panic alarm. You can also connect one additional sensor (HA-MOTION or HA-SENSOR).
Keeping your home safe and secure with an electronic watchdog may not be the be all end all, but it could be a great addition when used in connection with other security devices.
How Electronic Watchdogs Work
For maximum use, an electronic watchdog must be plugged in to the electrical socket nearest to the points of entry in your home and which may be used by would-be thieves and trespassers. These devices have sensors that are able to scan through not just doors or windows but walls as well. They work in an adjustable range of ten to twenty feet and, upon detecting any sign of movement, emit a ferocious barking sound or a chime depending on your settings.
Electronic watchdogs will start barking the moment someone attempts to get closer to your home. The closer the intruder is, the louder the barking gets. The sounds are very much realistic and you could thwart many a burglar attempt by fooling them into thinking you've got guard dogs watching over your home.
Its motion-sensing function can also be used to alert you on the presence of welcomed visitors – expected or otherwise. You can set it to sound out the chime as a guest approaches your house.
This would work extremely well if you want to be informed about incoming VIPs and you want to be on hand and greet them at the front door. Then again, if you're holding a surprise party for a loved one, your electronic watchdog would let you know when it's the right time to go lights off and hide.
Common Sense Drawbacks of Using a Barking Dog Alarm Alone
Electronic watchdogs are effective at deterring and thwarting attempts of burglary and trespassing, but they are not capable of protecting you outright.
Fooled Once, But Not Twice
Burglars may be fooled the first time around but if they decide to stake out your house and realize you don't own any pet, they may realize you're simply using an electronic watchdog and make a second attempt at breaking into your home.
It's Not a Self-Defense Weapon
Stubborn wrongdoers may still try to break into your home, never mind dogs barking, and then they'd realize you've no pets to speak of. When this happens, you'll have to use other security devices or self defense weapons to protect your loved ones at home.

At least four suspected gunmen died in a shootout with marines in the central Mexican state of Zacatecas, where a wave of drug-related violence has claimed the lives of nearly 30 people in the past few days, officials said.
The shootout occurred Monday morning on a highway in the city of Fresnillo when a group of heavily armed men tried to evade marines who were on patrol in the area, officials told Efe.
The bodies of the four dead gunmen were found inside an SUV after the shootout.
Gunmen from rival cartels, meanwhile, engaged in a shootout Monday afternoon in the city of Tepetongo, but no casualty figures are available, Zacatecas Attorney General's Office spokesmen said.
Eight decomposing bodies showing signs of torture were found last Friday in an SUV that was abandoned outside Fresnillo.
A total of 15 suspected gunmen were killed and 14 others arrested in different operations staged by the security forces in Zacatecas.
These incidents occurred amid a turf between rival drug cartels, including Los Zetas and the Gulf cartel.
More than 50,000 people, according to official figures, have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since late 2006.
The Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, which was founded by human rights activist and poet Javier Sicilia, puts the death toll at 70,000.
The violence has spiked this month, with the Mexico City daily Reforma reporting Saturday that 231 people were murdered across the country from Aug. 4 to Aug. 10, raising the death toll for the year to 6,309. EFE

In 1990, Guillaume replaced Michael Crawford in the title role of "The Phantom of the Opera" in Los Angeles, becoming the first African American performer in the role.
"I don't think I've had that much of a variety, that oppportunity to play a wide range of people. If you're black and you try to play a character that has not been seen, a philosophy professor, say, or has been on the horizon in film, theater and television, you always run up against people who don't understand. People who have a much more limited idea of what African-Americans are. We occupy a wide, wide spectrum of the territory we call the American dream. In the media it's a tiny little area." --Robert Guillaume in Daily News, September 11, 1991.
"If I had to identify what made me successful, I'd say it was a firmly grounded early education which made me unafraid of the English language. The ability to articulate effectively what I wanted to say and felt has served me more than anything else in this business." --Guillaume quoted in "Death Warrant" publicity material

Donald Privee, of Richford, had a cold, wet Wednesday night after he drove his Ford Focus off Vermont Route 105 in Jay and the car flipped over.
Police got a missing person report on Privee on Wednesday night. He was found Thursday morning by troopers from the Vermont State Police barracks in St. Albans.
Privee, who police say was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, later was listed in serious condition at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

Haredim Throw Rocks, Eggs, at 'Abomination Apartment'
Latest update: December 12th, 2012
Over the past few days, Haredi residents of the Shmuel Hanavi neighborhood in Jerusalem have been running an intense campaign against one of their neighbors, reportedly a mother of 11, who is living alone, and conducting a life style which the residents find objectionable.
Pashkvils (warning posters) were spread around the neighborhood, criticizing women wearing tight clothes, calling them "animals." According to the website Hadrei Haredim, the woman in question is being accused of luring young Haredi women to her path.
A source inside the Haredi community in Jerusalem told the Jewish Press that the woman in question is running a house of ill repute.
It appears that because of their reluctance to "name a spade a spade," the Haredi community is finding it difficult to raise effective public objection to the shameful enterprise in their midst. Some Chasidic rebbes and Haredi rabbis have issued a strong letter against the woman and her "apartment of abomination," but stopped short of saying what type of abomination was being practiced there.
On Saturday night, rabbis and several dozen local residents (and curious onlookers) demonstrated outside the apartment. One of the leaders of the campaign, a local rabbi, announced: "We will fight vigorously" against this abomination.
Stones, eggs and bags of water were thrown from adjoining buildings at the protesters. Miraculously, no one was hurt, except for one minor injury sustained by one of the people on the street.
Police force and Riot Police eventually came down and blocked the area outside the building where the targeted woman resides, to prevent violence.
Our source said the Haredi inability to articulate the problem in the neighborhood reminded him of a joke: a man goes to see his rabbi and confesses that he sinned, but he just can't utter what he had done.. "Was it with that woman from that street?" the rabbi asks. "No," says the man. "Was it with that other woman from that other street?" the rabbi asks. Again, no. Finally the man comes out and his friend asks him, did the rabbi give you absolution? "No," says the man, "but I took down plenty of prospects."Yori Yanover

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
University of Pittsburgh has licensed to ImmunoCellular Therapeutics intellectual property surrounding EphA2, a tyrosine kinase receptor that is reportedly highly expressed by ovarian cancer and other advanced and metastatic malignancies. The agreement grants a worldwide, exclusive license for ovarian and pancreatic cancers and a worldwide, nonexclusive license for brain cancer.
ImmunoCellular Therapeutics will employ the Pitt intellectual property in the development and commercialization of ICT-140, a multivalent, dendritic cell-based vaccine for the treatment of ovarian cancer. ICT-140 is designed to target cancer stem cells as well as daughter cells in ovarian cancer by targeting different antigens including EphA2, mesothelin, Her-2/neu, IL-13Rα2, and other undisclosed antigens.
"Experimental data have indicated that EphA2, which is highly expressed by ovarian cancer, holds significant promise as an immunotherapeutic target, specifically for dendritic cell-based vaccines such as ICT-140," said Manish Singh, Ph.D., president and CEO. He says that the company intends to file an IND application for ICT-140 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"While further research is necessary to determine the therapeutic value EphA2, our decision to license it reflects our determination to develop a novel vaccine that harnesses the patient's native immune system to precisely and comprehensively target multiple antigens associated with ovarian cancer, a devastating disease that claims the lives of over 15,000 women in the U.S. every year," Dr. Singh adds.
The company has one immunotherapy in clinical trials. ICT-107 is in a Phase II trial for glioblastoma multiforme. ICT-121 is also being investigated against glioblastoma and is at the preclinical stage. Additionally, ImmunoCellular Therapeutics has three mAbs in preclinical development as treatments for various cancers and one mAb as a diagnostic for small-cell lung cancer.

(HOLLYWOOD, CA) -- Adam & Eve Pictures and X-Play are co-producing a XXX parody of the Beverly Hillbillies and are now casting for the roles of Ellie Mae, Jed Clampett, Jethro, Granny, Mr. Drysdale and Miss Jane along with four cute side roles for additional females. Interested actors and agents are encouraged to quickly contact Scott David and director will Ryder to set up a go-see and reading.
The movie promises to be a hilarious adventure and a top contender for best comedy in the parody category at most awards shows later in the season.
Interested actors must be able to resemble their characters, possess excellent acting ability and be familiar with episodes of the original CBS Television series which ran from 1962 until 1971. Females interested in the four side roles must be sexy and have boobs.
"There are a number of episodes on YouTube so actors can check it out and learn their characters before coming in to read," stated co-producer Scott David.
"We acquired a 1926 Model a truck that looks just like the one in the TV show so I know this movie is going to be great plus were happy to be making this with Adam & Eve Pictures where we won two best comedy awards previously for Flight Attendants and not Bewitched XXX," Ryder stated.
The producers will also be searching Hollywood to find a mainstream actress to play the role of Granny much like they did during casting of not the Cosbys XXX when Thomas Ward won the Cliff Huxtable role. That movie went on to win awards for best parody and Ward for best non-sex performance so it has worked nicely in the past.
"Some characters like Granny are just hard to find from a youngish porn pool but I think we can find most of the others characters and of course all the beautiful girls will come from porn valley," Ryder stated.
Open casting for Beverly Hillbillies XXX will take place Monday, June 27 from 1-4PM at the companys West Hollywood office. Please call or email for address. If actors cannot make it Monday, there will be additional time to audition Tuesday or Wednesday, June 28 or 29 from 1-4pm at the Hollywood & Vine office. If interested actors cannot make any of those dates or times but still wish to be considered contact will Ryder.

August 25, 2010 | 09:14 AM
Three weeks ago, Lake Geneva aldermen wondered about the future of the Geneva Lake Area Chamber of Commerce building as part of the Flatiron Park improvement plan.
On Monday night, chamber executive director George Hennerley presented a drawing to the council showing a footprint for a 700-square-foot addition to the current facility. The 16-by-38-foot addition would be located on the south side of the building on the side where the Andy Gump statue is located.
"It will serve us well for a number of years," Hennerley said about the addition. It will allow the chamber to open up the entryway for more walk-in visitors and to display more brochures and information about its members.
The proposed addition comes on the heels of discussions from the Aug. 2 Committee of the Whole meeting in which renovation plans for Flatiron Park were presented. At that time, some city officials voiced concern that the chamber's facility was not taken into account. Hennerley also said he had not been included in the talks about the Flatiron Park enhancements.
For nearly two years, the Committee for the Beautification of Lake Geneva focused on a design plan to improve Flatiron Park. They unveiled plan specifics on Aug. 2.
Key feature improvements included in the design plan are walkways in the park that all lead to the "ceremony" open space in the middle of the park. Next to that will be the elevated stage and on the other side the ceremony gazebo.
A splash water feature is on the drawing along with more plantings around the Three Graces Fountain and a sidewalk on the east side of the park along Center Street.
The other additions in the design plan include the pedestrian pathways leading to walkways across the busy Wrigley Drive and include speed humps to slow down traffic.
Hennerley presented the plans Monday night because he hopes the work on the renovation can be done during the Wrigley Drive bridge work, expected to start in October and be completed by Memorial Day weekend in 2011. That bridge work is also why the Beautification Committee proposed the renovations be done to Flatiron.
"If you are planning on these improvements, it would be a good opportunity to build the parts you want," Winkler said earlier this month. "The Wrigley Drive bridge work will greatly reduce the number of people in the park and you could get this work done. It's a great time to do it."
Hennerley said the loss of the bridge will reduce the amount of foot traffic coming into the Chamber office, making that a good time to build the addition.
"It's good to know what the chamber needs," Alderman Tom Hartz said. "As we consider the Flatiron Park Plan, this gives us a good idea of what you need."
Alderman Todd Krause said he believed the location of the addition was "logical."
Alderwoman Mary Jo Fesenmaier said she thought the Flatiron Park improvement project was going to be discussed at the meeting, but it wasn't on the agenda. She tried to table discussion on the chamber building, but it failed for lack of a second.
The chamber building addition issue was sent to the Park Board, Plan Commission and Tree Board for further discussion. The other improvements in Flatiron Park are expected to be on a future Lake Geneva City Council agenda.

this kinda reminds me of when sakurai said on a radio show that ridley, cel-link, and bowser jr. were confirmed for brawl
edit....hmmm even if this is real, we don't when it took place, so this might of happened months ago, so i don't think this confirmes that megaman isn't in brawl

(FYI: That is all one image just merged together)
If this podcast is real, it shows that Megaman will probably be in Brawl.
Oh... Wait...
In Sakurai's polls, Megaman got two recommendations... Hmmm O.o... The highest was King Dedede who got 5.
Well just because it's too late doesn't mean he's not in the game. i bet there is still more characters just unannounced. like snake, he was in the game but he wasn't on dojo for a while.

megaman would be alright i guess. depends which megaman your taking about. megamanX or the battle network guy. personally i would prefer the megamanX one.
i think the 17th was being refered to as december 17th, because if the article is December 22nd, then i dont think they would mention a date outside of december without saying what month it was in. but i would have to say that maybe by now its to late for megaman to get in. oh well not a big deal to me, i didnt really want sonic in, but hey whatever.

World leaders from US President Barack Obama to Britain's Prince Charles gathered under tight security in Israel on Friday for the funeral of ex-prime minister and Nobel Peace Prize winner Shimon Peres. Security forces were on high alert for the funeral beginning at 9:00 am (0600 GMT) at Jerusalem's Mount Herzl national cemetery, with roads closed and thousands of officers deployed. Some 70 countries were to be represented, with the range of leaders illustrating the respect Peres gained over the years in his transformation from hawk to committed peace advocate.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israelis, along with dignitaries from around the world, were gathering in Jerusalem Friday for the funeral of the country's former President Shimon Peres.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — There was no dispute the St. Louis Cardinals shouldn't have won on Yadier Molina's double.

Terrorism and Political Violence
Terrorism and Political Violence reflects the full range of current scholarly work from many disciplines and theoretical perspectives. It aims to give academic rigour to a field which hitherto has lacked it, and encourages comparative studies. In addition to focusing on the political meaning of terrorist activity, the journal publishes studies of various related forms of violence by rebels and by states, on the links between political violence and organized crime, protest, rebellion, revolution, and human rights. Symposia are a regular feature covering such subjects as: terrorism and public policy; religion and violence; political parties and terrorism; technology and terrorism; and right-wing terrorism. It publishes the RAND – St Andrew's Chronology of International Terrorism and Noteworthy Domestic Terrorist Incidents starting with 1994. A truly interdisciplinary journal, it is essential reading for all academics, decision makers and security specialists concerned with understanding political violence.

So what rifle are you 260 guys using?
And why it rather than some other?

I'm not a .260 guy in the sense that I don't own one, but I wanted to, and almost did. I was always going to go with a Remington Model Seven S/S (stainless/synthetic) until I decided I needed more punch and less reach. My second choice would be a Remington Model 700 S/S DM. I really like the short action, my Model 700 .30-06 really has too long of a bolt throw to get follow up shots off quickly where needed. The .260 is awesome, according to one Outdoor Life editor it is quite possibly the best whitetail caliber ever developed.
November 24, 2004, 08:56 AM
My default whitetail rifle is a blued/synthetic Remington Model Seven "Junior Scout" in .260 Rem. I have a Burris Scout Scope on a Ching Ring mount, a Galco Safari Ching Sling, and a Galco butt cuff. I use handloads of IMR 4350 pushing a 125-grain Nosler Partition at around 2700 fps. Punches right through the deer and drops them from in their tracks to 20 yards with a heart/lung shot.
If I were to consider buying a new rifle in .260, I'd lean toward the Kimber 84M Montana. If Blaser made a .260 barrel for my R93 Synthetic, I'd buy it.
November 24, 2004, 09:04 AM
I am using a Remington M700 Moutain Rifle, the blued/walnut model. I like the lines of the rifle (except that blasted detachable magazine, but the convenience outweighs the aesthetics), it is light and it shoots well. I have no doubts it will perform on deer, if the chance ever arrises. My pet load is Hodgdon H4350 and the Nosler 125 Partition. From a 22" barrel I can get 2900fps. Somedays it will shoot MOA, but most days it is an honest 1.25-1.5MOA for 3-rounds with these bullets. With the 140gr Corelokt factory ammo or 140gr Sierra Gamekings it will punch 3-shot, 1/2" groups at 100 yards.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention it is topped with an older Leupold VX-I 2-7x33mm scope. (I think this model is now packaged as the Rifleman-series.)
November 24, 2004, 11:33 AM
So what rifle are you 260 guys using?
And why it rather than some other?
What do you want to use it for? If you plan on some serious target shooting, you'll probably want to get the Kimber 84M "Varmint & Longmaster Classic" or "Longmaster VT". Both of those have heavy barrels and are the only factory commercial rifles with heavy barrels that I have seen in 260. If you're going to hunt with it, then depending on your preferences on actions, you could go with the Remington or Kimber.
The .260 isn't exactly a very popular round so you may want to build one up from an action you like, if the factory guns available in .260 don't suit your needs.
I just built mine (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=112767&highlight=.260) on a Savage action. I bought a heavy barrel from Sharp Shooter Supply in 26". They say it has the same contour as the Savage varmint/match barrels, but it looks a bit thicker. I haven't taken the time to measure it and compare it to my factory .308, though.
November 24, 2004, 06:49 PM
ocabj, Remington made the 260 in the 700 VLS for a few years in the late 90's. I know because I have one. Makes for a good longrange chuck and yote gun.
November 24, 2004, 10:07 PM
I don't have one yet but my sights are set on a Rem. 700 Ti. in .260.

Prenatal tests assess the risk or the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in a fetus. Copy number variation or chromosomal imbalances (amplifications or deletions) can have devastating effects on a pregnancy—even causing loss of the fetus.
Another focus in prenatal testing is the risk assessment and diagnosis for Down syndrome (DS), which has an incidence of 1 out of 800 to 1 out of 1,000 births. Risk probabilities for DS increase with advancing maternal age and as women are delaying their first pregnancy until later in life these days, prenatal testing will become an even more important measure for concerned parents-to-be.
Currently, genetic testing on the fetus involves sampling material by amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Due to the slight risks of miscarriage and potential complications associated with both procedures, maternal blood tests were developed to screen the larger population for the at-risk subset that should have an invasive procedure performed for conclusive diagnostic testing.
Clinical publications report a reduction in the number of invasive procedures conducted as a result of prenatal screening practices. Concurrently, detection rates for DS have improved, likely as a result of these effective prenatal screening algorithms.
U.S. prenatal testing was a $1.3 billion market in 2010. Prenatal screens provided 75% of revenues, and prenatal diagnostic testing generated the remaining 25%. Considering that 60% to 70% of the 5 million births in the U.S. receive prenatal care, the screening segment would be large relative to the diagnostic segment. However, the clinical utility of microarrays and sequencing in prenatal applications will lay the foundation for tremendous growth in the prenatal diagnostic segment.
The much anticipated commercial launch of noninvasive prenatal diagnostics (NIPD) in 2012 will bring to market a diagnostic-level analysis of rare fetal cells and nucleic acids circulating in maternal blood. The NIPD competitive landscape includes Verinata Health, Sequenom, LabCorp (Genzyme Genetics), QuantaLife, Ravgen, and Novartis/Fluidigm.
The exciting technological developments in the prenatal diagnostic segment make this one of the most anticipated clinical diagnostic segments, which will contribute to the long-term health of prenatal testing markets.
Market restraints in prenatal testing include slightly falling fertility rates, conservative action by the influential American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the individual attitudes of patients in their choices for prenatal care.
Key market participants include PerkinElmer, LabCorp, and Quest Diagnostics. Market share is quickly captured by clinical companies through acquisition of specialty prenatal testing service providers.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a lesser known application area for genetic technologies. PGD is the genetic analysis of embryos that are produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. PGD testing is done prior to implantation to help select the embryos for implantation that are free of inherited genetic disorders.
PGD screening of embryos for aneuploidy will be a major growth application since approximately half of the cases of embryonic loss within assisted reproductive technology (ART) are associated with aneuploidy.
Of the total PGD testing in the U.S., 78% search for chromosomal abnormalities such as aneuploidy, translocations, and gender determination. The remaining 22% of PGD testing search for single-gene mutations and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing.
HLA typing is a critical factor for biological compatibility between a donor embryo and a sibling. Chromosomal analysis is more frequent because some aneuploidy detection by fluorescence in situ hybridization has been reimbursed and also because couples that are undergoing IVF cycles have less awareness of the ability to test for single-gene mutations.
The 8,000 PGD cases per year include chromosomal and single-gene mutation analysis. ART couples that use PGD must add thousands of dollars in addition to the cost of an IVF cycle and PGD fees, which are usually paid out of pocket. The size of the U.S. PGD market is less than 2% of the U.S. prenatal testing market since it is still considered experimental.
In the long term, prenatal testing and infertility associated service markets like PGD will be in demand as women are delaying motherhood. The market stages range from relatively mature (prenatal screens), growing (prenatal diagnostics), and early stage (PGD).

CCDS unchained?
A review of how derivatives markets have evolved over the past 25 years yields one important insight: major developments usually take hold only when two or three enabling developments are in place. These developments usually fall into the areas of financial theory, computing technology, the regulatory/legal environment and the general business environment.

We are a Florida registered nursery and provide retail sales of seedlings and gardening supplies at Tampa Bay area Farmers' Markets. During the week we offer full edible garden installations and ongoing maintenance packages for residences as well as community gardens, school gardens, and church gardens in Pinellas and Hillsborough County. I have learned that for gardens to remain truly sustainable, passing on knowledge of soil, garden beds, compost systems, worms, vermicomposting, vertical systems, seed tables, seedlings, organic pesticides, organic fertilizers, planting seasons, weeding, harvesting and use of tools was only part of the equation. There is a much bigger picture. Along with organic methods of growing food I have also added to my tool-box organizing volunteers, training community members, staff, and volunteers to be leaders, making a garden "business plan", navigating grants, partnering with non-profits, working with large groups of students- of all ages, helping with a garden's identity and using community resources to their full extent. I have experience organizing and executing classes, tours, workshops, and lectures.
My family and my team are ready to help make your project a success!
