A Bloody Good Time 8.19.10: Top 20 Horror Directors (#10-1)
Opening Logo courtesy of Benjamin J. Colón (Soul Exodus)
Welcome to A Bloody Good Time. Before we hit part two of our list, let's look at some feedback.
SanguineSymphony replied: I want withhold judgment until I read the final ten entries but so far this is a horrible list that is going exclude too many talented Horror Directors for guys who barely have a Horror Resume (Holland, Miike, Marshall). Fulci should be in the Top Ten at least. Castle is more a Canival Barker than accomplished Director. I get that you were trying to put a spotlight on some more unknown directors for 20-11 but there are plenty more accomplished and unique entries you could of have went with (Tourneur, Marins, Fisher, Baker, Francis, Hennenlotter etc.)
Okay, Frank Henenlotter is just as accomplished as Tom Holland, perhaps less so since I would call Fright Night and Child's Play much more effective horror films than Basket Case or Frankenhooker. I admit to not featuring a variety of Hammer directors because I'm not as well-versed in that as I should be. I just made a list of what I like, which is what these lists always are.
Volourn says: Hey, maximum Overdrive was a fun little movie. 🙂
Fun, yes. I love watching it. I wouldn't call it well directed though. Even King admitted he was in over his head. It's why he hasn't directed anything since.
Last week we had the first part of our list, and in case you missed it let me give you a quick run down. In order, the first ten were: Neil Marshall, Lucio Fulci, Stuart Gordon, Tom Holland, William Castle, Robert Wise, Don Coscarelli, Clive Barker, Takashi Miike and Tod Browning. Some big names already out of the way, and some lesser known guys too. Hopefully that continues here, but you probably already have an idea of some of the guys who will make it. They're obvious choices for a reason.
Let's get into it.
#10: Mario Bava
Notable Horror Films: Black Sabbath(1963), Blood and Black Lace(1963), Twitch of the Death Nerve(1971)
First up on the list is Mario Bava, one of the finest and most influential Italian filmmakers of all time. Don't believe me? Try watching Alien or the first two Friday the 13th movies. Bava's influence is all over them. Although his movies aren't as mainstream as others, he was clearly ahead of his time and the fact that several filmmakers went on to either copy his style or lift whole scenes from his films is a testament to that. Let's take a look at two of his films that directly influenced the slasher genre: Blood and Black Lace and Twitch of the Death Nerve
Blood and Black Lace was described by many as one of the first slasher films ever, only being beat by Psycho. Even then, Psycho's body count hit two while this has seven deaths. In addition to influencing slashers, it also helped create the Italian giallo genre, which are essentially a mixture of horror and whodunits. Twitch of the Death Nerve was Bava's most violent and had more influence than his others. I probably don't credit it enough compared to the Halloweens and Black Christmases of the world, which both came after it. Try watching this film and Friday the 13th Part 2 back to back some day. It'll blow your mind just how many deaths were re-created shot for shot. Bava's work lives on any slasher movie with a high body count and lots of gore.
Check out this cool comparison to see what I mean about Friday Part 2.
#9: James Whale
Notable Horror Films: Frankenstein(1931), The Old Dark House(1932), The Invisible Man(1933), Bride of Frankenstein(1935)
James Whale is responsible for bringing not one but two of Universal's iconic monsters to life in Frankenstein's monster and The Invisible Man. Frankenstein was a classic on it's own with a terrifying (for it's time) monster, a fantastic performance by Boris Karloff and of course it wouldn't have been half as good without Whale's direction. His follow up, Bride of Frankenstein was even better. wasn't really played for scares so much, as a dramatic tale of the lonely life of a monster. Everyone hates him, so he wants a bride, that will be just like him and therefore accept him. Of course, it turns out that she doesn't want him either. The last moments of this film are haunting and beautiful, something you wouldn't expect from a horror film about a man playing God.
James Whale also managed to do a brilliant bit of casting when he put Claude Rains in the role of the increasingly insane Dr. Jack Griffin. While it could be said that The Invisible Man isn't really horror, I call your attention to the finale where the titular character gleefully unwraps himself while cackling constantly. Finally, if you want another good Boris Karloff role and a largely forgotten classic gothic horror film, you really need to check out The Old Dark House. Whale grew tired of horror and shortly after, film directing in general. This was probably due to his disputes with Universal over a number of different issues. His legacy lives on though thanks to his brilliant resume in early Gothic horror.
#8: Wes Craven
Notable Horror Films: The Last House on the Left(1972), A Nightmare on Elm Street(1984), Scream(1996)
It may seem hypocritical of me to include Craven, given how I spoke out on him in the past (short story, I only like three of his films: the first Nightmare, Scream and New Nightmare) but he is very accomplished and well-respected in the genre and even though I may not like The Last House on the Left, I have to begrudgingly admit it's influence and impact on the horror genre and it wouldn't have happened without Craven. I'm not going to go into why I dislike him because this is a column about praising what I do like. So let's do that. Craven needs to be commended in general just for creating Freddy Krueger. In fact he could have stopped making movies right there and probably would have ended up somewhere on this list for that feat alone.
Robert Englund as Freddy is one of the most iconic movie monsters of all time and wouldn't have been made had Craven not read about kids dying in their sleep or remembered the time a homeless man scared him as a child (two anecdotes he loves to tell in all Nightmare documentaries). Then there's Scream. It has it's detractors (which I don't get, as it's easily his second best film) but it revitalized both the slasher genre but horror in general with it's release. It had the right combination of mainstream appeal and a whodunit story to become a huge success. In addition to that, it created the self-referential horror film in a time that was just right. People were growing tired of formula, so this film came along and poked fun at that formula and paid homage to it at the same time. It was just the boost horror needed. Wes Craven deserves the credit for that.
#7: David Cronenberg
Notable Horror Films: The Brood(1979), Scanners(1981), The Dead Zone(1983), Videodrome(1983), The Fly(1986)
Other Notable Films: A History of Violence(2005), Eastern Promises(2008)
While he doesn't use his out there approach so much any more, it's hard to argue that Cronenberg is one of the great directors in the horror genre. There's the films above, but there's also films like Dead Ringers(1988) or eXistenZ(1999). Cronenberg used to be known as a guy who made some real mind-blowing horror. His movies weren't for everybody. While I consider The Fly one of my favorites of all time, I find Scanners to be not my cup of tea (awesome headsplosion aside).
Cronenberg has really reigned himself in lately, making serious dramatic films. Maybe he's felt he's done all he can in the horror, or maybe he's waiting on the right idea, who knows. But the man's influence (like many here) can't be denied. A movie or director that follows close to what he does is usually called "Cronenbergian". Not many directors get their name turned into an adjective. Whether you like his bizarre stuff or dislike it, you have to admit it's different from what a lot of directors past and present have done.
#6: Tobe Hooper
Notable Horror Films: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre(1974), Poltergeist(1982)
Tobe Hooper is exceptional on this list in that he has rarely went mainstream with his films. With the exception probably being Poltergeist. Everything else has been very low-budget and usually independently released (again, there are exceptions). This means nothing in terms of quality because he's made some of the greatest of all time (the two above) as well as a few that may not be great but are still decent. Movies like The Funhouse or Lifeforce are cult classics that have a lot of fans.
Even if Hooper is not more influential than some of these other guys (although you can still say he has some influence), he does make some horror films that do what they are supposed to: scare people. Poltergeist frightened many people with it's clown scene, for example. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre scared the life out of me when I first saw it. Obviously the man loves horror as he's been working in the genre for the majority of his career. When he stepped away it was usually for a sci-fi film that bordered on horror anyway.
#5: Alfred Hitchcock
Notable Horror Films: Psycho(1960>, The Birds(1963)
Other Notable Films: Notorious(1946), Rear Window(1954), Vertigo(1958), North by Northwest(1959)
This entry may catch me some grief because either people will claim Hitchcock is too low or some will claim he shouldn't be on this list at all. Here is my explanation. He's on this list because he did direct a couple of horror films. He's not any higher because it was only two. However he makes #5 out of 20 because of how good those two horror films were, and because of how his work in suspense did influence many horror filmmakers afterward.
But let's talk about the two films that can be called horror. Psycho and The Birds are both masterpieces that still hold up fifty years later. Psycho, along with the films of Bava previously and a few American films later on created the slasher genre. Norman Bates was the first Hollywood serial killer. As for The Birds, who would have thought you could make birds scary to begin with? Hitchcock evidently did, and he went on to make audiences scared of the titular animals. Hitchcockian suspense (another director whose name became an adjective) can be seen in many horror films. Even if he didn't work directly in the genre, he had a big impact on it. I will be doing a full series on Hitch a little later in September, so be sure to look forward to that.
#4: Dario Argento
Notable Horror Films: Suspiria(1977), Inferno(1980), Tenebrae(1982), Opera(1987)
I love Argento's films. While he came along after Bava, he's considered one of the great influences on slasher, horror and the Italian giallo (another genre I love). His (arguably) biggest film was 1977's Suspiria, a supernatural horror film that kicked off what he called his "Mother" trilogy (followed by Inferno in 1980 and Mother of Tears in 2007). It was a very gory and violent film but also spooky and off-putting. Argento has a reputation for the violence he throws into his films and this is one of the films that cemented that reputation.
Some say Argento has lost a step in his later years. I completely disagree. I really enjoyed Mother of Tears and while I unfortunately haven't seen Giallo (his most recent), I'm almost positive it will be good. I could be wrong, but I really doubt it. Argento is a master of this stuff and could direct an entertaining giallo film in his sleep. If you've never seen any of his works, I highly recommend you do so. You could start with Tenebrae like I did (featuring John Saxon!) or start with the best in Suspiria. You won't be disappointed.
#3: Sam Raimi
Notable Horror Films: The Evil Dead trilogy, Drag Me To Hell(2009)
Other Notable Films: The Spider-Man trilogy
Sam Raimi is a horror director who went on to find success in mainstream Hollywood and now he's probably one of the biggest names out there. He has achieved such a high level of success he can pick and choose whatever project he wants to and usually does. If he doesn't like the way the studios meddle, he'll just leave the project (which is why we're getting a reboot of Spider-Man…stupid Sony). He also created Ghost House Pictures, a horror production company and Ghost House Underground which helps the independent horror scene by giving lesser known films and directors greater distribution.
But what has this Raimi guy done for horror with his own films? Well he gave the world Ash and the Deadites. Shouldn't that be enough? Raimi introduced some camera styles all his own and it's easy to spot his films among others. You can watch Spider-Man 2 for example and see some of the same camera tricks and close-ups he was doing in Evil Dead 2. His style has been imitated but never duplicated, as cliche as that phrase is. In 2009 he made his directing return to horror with Drag Me to Hell a perfect mixture of horror and dark comedy that was one of my favorites of last year. While he may never give us an Evil Dead 4, at least he still knows his roots and remains a producer for many horror films.
#2: George A. Romero
Notable Horror Films: The Dead series, Creepshow(1982)
The grandfather of the zombie film. The man who defined a monster and completely changed a genre almost overnight with one classic gem called Night of the Living Dead(1960). I've talked about the man at great length before (here is your blast from the past) but let's add some more sentiment. Romero's the master of all things zombie. I loved Diary of the Dead and even Survival of the Dead shows that even Romero's worst zombie films are still better than most out there. He knows how these things work and still tries to stay relevant. Although I think he should use his talents for other horror films.
He can. He made Creepshow in addition to lesser-known greats like Martin and Monkey Shines. He knows how to make an effective non-zombie horror film too, in case you thought he was a one-trick pony. Just because he doesn't make anything but zombie films anymore doesn't mean he is incapable. Honestly, if zombies were what you were known for, wouldn't you want to keep going back to the well? He obviously feels like he still has something to say through the zombies, as he's always used them as a political allegory. His mastery of one specific genre is enough to get him on this list, but not quite the #1 spot.
#1: John Carpenter
Notable Horror Films: Halloween(1978), The Fog(1980), The Thing(1982), Christine(1983), They Live(1988), In The Mouth of Madness(1995)
Other Notable Films: Assault on Precinct 13(1976), Escape From New York(1981)
That would go to this man. Just John Carpenter's notable horror films alone should be enough to convince you of why he should be #1 on this list. If you need more, you could go with his lesser known films that still have their fans, like Vampires or Prince of Darkness. The man is a legend. He's made some of the greatest horror films of all time and some cult classics in other genres too. Everyone knows who he is and his influence is felt on all slasher films thanks to Halloween as well as his action films and post-apocalyptic movies. But this is a horror column, so let's talk about his horror.
I've talked about Halloween enough here. It's my favorite horror film of all time. How about The Thing, the greatest horror remake of all time? He's able to make you afraid of the dark (as Michael Myers struck at night) as well as make you paranoid around your fellow human beings (both in They Live and The Thing). He can adapt Stephen King or faithfully create a tribute to the works of Lovecraft. John Carpenter is the greatest horror director past or present. You may disagree, but I think his movies speak for themselves.
That concludes my director countdown. I wanted to get this out of the way, along with the actresses list from way back when, because in October I'm counting down the top 50 horror actors! But until then, we have a whole other month of topics to get through. Next week, I'm going to present the dumbest moments in Romero's "Dead" series! Leave some comments here or on my Twitter.

KANEKO | 1111 Jones St
PLAY will be on view at KANEKO from May 30 to August 16, 2015.
Admission is FREE and open to the public.
Public Gallery Hours
Closed Monday
Tuesday–Friday // 11 a.m.–7 p.m.
Saturday–Sunday // 11 a.m.–4 p.m.
"Play is how we are made, how we develop and adjust to change. It can foster innovation and… allows us to express our joy and connect most deeply with the best in ourselves, and in others."
– Stuart Brown, M.D., from his book, Play
Research proves that play is vital in providing the mental, social, and physical foundations necessary for success and happiness. In early childhood, play is how relationships are formed, coordination is learned, and creativity is tapped. Play is just as important throughout life, as it is at the heart of problem solving, social interactions, and creativity.
This summer, KANEKO explores the power of play in our everyday world. The series examines how, whether at home or at work, alone or with others, play has a role in shaping a happier, more fulfilling life. KANEKO has been transformed into a veritable PLAYground, offering insight into the science and philosophy of play, while providing ample opportunities for visitors to engage in meaningful play themselves.
PLAY uses Dr. Stuart Brown's philosophy and research as a foundation for the dialogue on the importance of play and how it manifests in a variety of forms. KANEKO furthers that conversation with hands-on examples of how play can be nurtured, infused, and enhanced in everyday life – in the home, classroom, office, and community.

Evangelical Does Not Equal Republican or Democrat (edition 2008)
by Lisa Sharon Harper
Work details
Evangelical Does Not Equal Republican or Democrat by Lisa Sharon Harper
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this book, which is primarily about reconciliation and the fuller meaning of the "Good News," the author traces the history of the American evangelical church and why it stopped participating in works of justice, how that is now beginning to change and the implications of a gospel that is good news both on an individual level and a social/societal level. I loved this book so much, that after I finished it, I read it a second time, slower and taking copious notes. Understanding the history of how the evangelical church, that I have been a part of for most of my life, came to its beliefs and doctrines at the time I entered it, and how a much bigger, more expansive understanding of the Good News can impact not just individuals, but society and societal structures has enlarged my understanding and encouraged my heart on what a Shalom view of the Kingdom of God might look like.

SERIOUS AND OCCASIONALLY FATAL HYPERSENSITIVITY (anaphylactic) REACTIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN PATIENTS RECEIVING THERAPY WITH BETA-LACTAMS. THESE REACTIONS ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IN INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF SENSITIVITY TO MULTIPLE ALLERGENS. THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH A HISTORY OF PENICILLIN HYPERSENSITIVITY WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERE REACTIONS WHEN TREATED WITH ANOTHER BETA-LACTAM. BEFORE INITIATING THERAPY WITH PRIMAXIN® I.M. (imipenem and cilastatin) , CAREFUL INQUIRY SHOULD BE MADE CONCERNING PREVIOUS HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS TO PENICILLINS, CEPHALOSPORINS, OTHER BETA-LACTAMS, AND OTHER ALLERGENS. IF AN ALLERGIC REACTION OCCURS, PRIMAXIN® SHOULD BE DISCONTINUED. SERIOUS ANAPHYLACTIC REACTIONS REQUIRE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY TREATMENT WITH EPINEPHRINE. OXYGEN, INTRAVENOUS STEROIDS, AND AIRWAY MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING INTUBATION, MAY ALSO BE ADMINISTERED AS INDICATED.
Seizure Potential
Seizures and other CNS adverse experiences, such as myoclonic activity, have been reported during treatment with PRIMAXIN I.M. (See PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS.)
Carbapenems, including imipenem, may reduce serum valproic acid concentrations to subtherapeutic levels, resulting in loss of seizure control. Serum valproic acid concentrations should be monitored frequently after initiating carbapenem therapy. Alternative antibacterial or anticonvulsant therapy should be considered if serum valproic acid concentrations drop below the therapeutic range or a seizure occurs (see PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS).
Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including PRIMAXIN I.M., and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile.
C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to the development of CDAD.
Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents.
If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.
Lidocaine HCl - Refer to the package circular for lidocaine HCl.
CNS adverse experiences such as myoclonic activity or seizures have been reported with PRIMAXIN I.M. These experiences have occurred most commonly in patients with CNS disorders (e.g., brain lesions or history of seizures) who also have compromised renal function. However, there were reports in which there was no recognized or documented underlying CNS disorder. Anticonvulsant therapy should be continued in patients with a known seizure disorder.
As with other antibiotics, prolonged use of PRIMAXIN I.M. may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms. Repeated evaluation of the patient's condition is essential. If superinfection occurs during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken.
Prescribing PRIMAXIN I.M. in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Caution should be taken to avoid inadvertent injection into a blood vessel. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION) For additional precautions, refer to the package circular for lidocaine HCl.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Long term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate carcinogenic potential of imipenem-cilastatin. Genetic toxicity studies were performed in a variety of bacterial and mammalian tests in vivo and in vitro. The tests used were: V79 mammalian cell mutagenesis assay (imipenem-cilastatin sodium alone and imipenem alone), Ames test (cilastatin sodium alone and imipenem alone), unscheduled DNA synthesis assay (imipenem-cilastatin sodium) and in vivo mouse cytogenetics test (imipenem-cilastatin sodium). None of these tests showed any evidence of genetic alterations.
Reproductive tests in male and female rats were performed with imipenem-cilastatin sodium at intravenous doses up to 80 mg/kg/day and at a subcutaneous dose of 320 mg/kg/day, 2.1 times*** the maximum recommended daily human dose of the intramuscular formulation (on a mg/m2 body surface area basis). Slight decreases in live fetal body weight were restricted to the highest dosage level. No other adverse effects were observed on fertility, reproductive performance, fetal viability, growth, or postnatal development of pups.
Pregnancy: Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C: Teratology studies with cilastatin sodium at doses of 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg/day administered intravenously to rabbits and 40, 200, and 1000 mg/kg/day administered subcutaneously to rats, up to approximately 3.9 and 6.5 times*** the maximum recommended daily human dose (on a mg/m2 body surface area basis) of the intramuscular formulation of PRIMAXIN (25 mg/kg/day) in the two species, respectively, showed no evidence of adverse effects on the fetus. No evidence of teratogenicity was observed in rabbits given imipenem at intravenous doses of 15, 30, or 60 mg/kg/day and rats given imipenem at intravenous doses of 225, 450, or 900 mg/kg/day, up to approximately 0.8 and 5.8 times*** the maximum recommended daily human dose (on a mg/m2 body surface area basis) in the two species, respectively.
Teratology studies with imipenem-cilastatin sodium at intravenous doses of 20 and 80 and a subcutaneous dose of 320 mg/kg/day, approximately equal to (mice) and up to 2.1 times*** (rats) the maximum recommended daily intramuscular human dose (on a mg/m2 body surface area basis) in pregnant rodents during the period of major organogenesis, revealed no evidence of teratogenicity.
Imipenem-cilastatin sodium, when administered to pregnant rabbits subcutaneously at dosages above the usual human dose of the intramuscular formulation (1000-1500 mg/day), caused body weight loss, diarrhea, and maternal deaths. When comparable doses of imipenem-cilastatin sodium were given to non-pregnant rabbits, body weight loss, diarrhea, and deaths were also observed. This intolerance is not unlike that seen with other beta-lactam antibiotics in this species and is probably due to alteration of gut flora.
A teratology study in pregnant cynomolgus monkeys given imipenem-cilastatin sodium at doses of 40 mg/kg/day (bolus intravenous injection) or 160 mg/kg/day (subcutaneous injection) resulted in maternal toxicity including emesis, inappetence, body weight loss, diarrhea, abortion and death in some cases. In contrast, no significant toxicity was observed when non-pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were given doses of imipenem-cilastatin sodium up to 180 mg/kg/day (subcutaneous injection). When doses of imipenem-cilastatin sodium (approximately 100 mg/kg/day or approximately 1.3 times*** the maximum recommended daily human dose of the intramuscular formulation) were administered to pregnant cynomolgus monkeys at an intravenous infusion rate which mimics human clinical use, there was minimal maternal intolerance (occasional emesis), no maternal deaths, no evidence of teratogenicity, but an increase in embryonic loss relative to the control groups.
No adverse effects on the fetus or on lactation were observed when imipenem-cilastatin sodium was administered subcutaneously to rats late in gestation at dosages up to 320 mg/kg/day, 2.1 times the maximum recommended daily human dose (on a mg/m2 body surface area basis).
There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. PRIMAXIN I.M. should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the mother and fetus.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether imipenem-cilastatin sodium or lidocaine HCl (diluent) is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when PRIMAXIN I.M. is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 12 years have not been established.
Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of PRIMAXIN I.M. did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects; however, clinical studies of PRIMAXIN I.V. in a sufficient number of subjects aged 65 and over have not revealed overall differences in safety or effectiveness between these subjects and younger subjects (refer to the package circular for PRIMAXIN I.V.). Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection, and it may be useful to monitor renal function. Dosage adjustment in the case of renal impairment is necessary (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Adults With Impaired Renal Function).

(Michelle Higginbotham / American Press)
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 12:39 PM
(AP) -- Louisiana Tech hired Tommy McClelland of McNeese State as athletic director on Tuesday.
McClelland, a Louisiana native, has been the permanent athletics director at McNeese State since March 2008, after serving as interim athletic director and assistant athletic director of internal affairs. He has overseen school records in football season ticket sales and the Cowboys have won Southland Conference titles in several sports, including football, during his tenure.
He was introduced at a news conference in Ruston, La.
Louisiana Tech's previous athletic director, Bruce Van de Velde, announced in June he was stepping down. Van del Velde had been AD since 2010. Last season he drew criticism from La. Tech fans and supporters when the football team went 9-3, but did not land a spot in a bowl game.

Good NFP sends USD up
US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) came at 257K vs. 236K expected. December reading was revised up from 252K to 329K.
Average hourly earnings rose by 0.5%. That's higher than +0.3% change expected and is definitely good after a 0.2% decline in the previous month.
The unemployment rate edged higher from 5.6% to 5.7%.
US dollar was supported by the data release. USD/JPY jumped to 118.65, while EUR/USD slid to 1.1350. GBP/USD got rejected at the 1.5350 resistance, but the bulls keep fighting unwilling to give up.

Walther PPS 9MM. I don't carry spare mags. Sometimes I carry the PPS and a Ruger LCP .380 BUG.
I switch a lot, mostly autos, occasionaly a revolver. Most common autos are a Glock 19 or 17, Colt 1911 .45, H&K P7M8, or a Kahr .40. For revolvers a 610 in 10mm, a snub model 15, a 4" 19, or a J frame in .38 or 9mm. Always spare ammo. A magazine for the autos, speedloader, moon clips, or a speed strip for the revolvers depending on design. My normal BUG is a Kel Tec .32 normally without a spare magazine when used as a BUG.
Glock 23 with 13 in the mag and 1 in the pipe. 1 extra mag on my person in populated "urban" areas. 75% of the time it is in my vehicle ready to put on to my person when the need arises. IWB in Don Hume leather. If the mood strikes me I carry my SIG p228 with 13 in the mag and one in the hole also and a spare mag nearby. Rarely a backup, as I have sold my BUGs. Soon to be a G27.

I have never understood why some people do not carry an extra magazine. If you have a magazine failure (the single most common failure in a semi-auto handgun) with the only mag you have, then you gun just became useless. Why wouldn't you carry at least one spare?

High Frequency Trading of High Concern, ASIC Says
Australian regulators are considering requiring all trading algorithms to have an inbuilt "kill switch" to immediately disable them if they malfunction, Australian Securities and Investments Commission Chairman Greg Medcraft said at a conference in Sydney.
ASIC is also mulling a mandate that any trades done through a dark pool, an off-exchange venue that doesn't display prices or the identity of buyers and sellers, have meaningful price improvement from public platforms, Medcraft said. Australia's latest consultation paper on electronic trading closed for comments Sept. 14. Final rules are expected this month.
Electronic trading has come under scrutiny globally after the practice was blamed for a May 2010 incident that saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average briefly lose almost 1,000 points in less than 20 minutes. An algorithm malfunction on Aug. 1 cost Knight Capital Group Inc. (KCG) $440 million, driving the company to the brink of bankruptcy. Traditional exchanges worldwide are losing market share to dark pools and other alternative venues.
"People are still looking for an answer on high-frequency trading," Medcraft said. "While I know that some high- frequency trading provides liquidity, I also know that some senior bankers and fund managers have privately described it as providing phantom liquidity. The reason for that is that it's phantom because it only stays there for a few seconds, or micro seconds."
Lower Threshold
Regulators plan to require any trades through dark pools obtain a better price than lit, or public, venues by at least one tick size or that they occur at the midpoint between bids and offers, Medcraft said. ASIC planned to lower the threshold for block trades from A$1 million to A$200,000, he said.
In March, 16.4 percent of Australian trading went through dark pools, with an additional 13.2 percent trading in blocks of larger than A$1 million away from the exchange, according to ASIC statistics e-mailed to Bloomberg.
The smaller size of Australia's market means it's more vulnerable to fragmentation and off-exchange trades, ASX Ltd. (ASX), Australia's main bourse operator, said on Aug. 6 in response to the market-structure consultation. ASX lost its monopoly as Australia's only public, or lit, venue in October last year with the entry of Nomura Holdings Inc.'s Chi-X Australia.
Algorithmic trading mishaps haven't been as prominent in Asia as in the more developed markets. Trading in India's benchmark Nifty and some stocks stopped for 15 minutes on Oct. 5 after the 50-stock gauge sank 16 percent.
Erroneous Trades
The plunge wasn't due to a malfunctioning trading program; it was caused by as many as 59 erroneous trades by a dealer at Emkay Global Financial Services Ltd. in Mumbai, the NSE said in a statement on Oct. 5. The brokerage said Oct. 8 that one of its dealers "committed a bona fide error."
Brokers are responsible for minimizing the impact on markets when their algorithms and systems malfunction, Mark Steward, executive director in the enforcement division of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission said at conference on Aug. 31. The SFC has issued 18 compliance letters to electronic trading firms, mostly due to computer algorithms that have led to price or volume disruptions, he said.
The SFC declined requests from Bloomberg to give more detail on the trade, citing confidentiality of the parties involved that were not formally sanctioned.
U.S. regulators are also mulling kill switches, or automated triggers that would turn off trading at securities firms when their volume surpassed preset maximums. A group of exchange and investment professionals recommended the measure in a letter for discussion to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Kill switches that could have stopped orders from Knight Capital on Aug. 1 may have saved the Jersey City, New Jersey-based firm millions of dollars, they said.
"We've taken a very constructive approach with how we analyze the market and are pretty forward thinking" on a global basis,'' ASIC's Medcraft said. "We are stepping up surveillance efforts, particularly focusing on high-frequency traders."

we got the complete service records from Crest Cadillac from the date the car was new. It shows only oil changes and tire rotation, three in total. the car has been in service for 3yrs. it's got about 40% oil life right now so I'll be taking it in soon. The record does not reflect that the two air filters have ever been changed, at least at a dealership. I bought both filters and will tackle the job in a few days, they are a little more complicated than and the old filter sitting on top of the carburetor. Should't be too bad though. What prompted me to start this thread is the service plan provided by Cadillac for the first 4yrs, does it not include air filters? the manual says once a year?
thanks, Douglas
Re: service records
Right from Cadillac's website.
Standard on all 2011 and newer vehicles, Cadillac's Premium Care Maintenance program covers routine oil changes, tire rotations, certain air filter replacements and a thorough multipoint vehicle inspection for 4 years or 50,000 miles. Mercedes-Benz and Lexus programs do not
While Cadillac's program is OK and they may be better than Mercedes and Lexus, it comes no where close to BMW.
They cover EVERYTHING from a maintenance perspective for the first 50K miles. That includes brakes, brake fluid changes, wipers, cabin filter replacements... EVERYTHING.
My wife's X5 just had the front brakes replaced at 40K miles and the onboard computer is calling for the rear brakes to be replaced in the next 3K-5K miles. That included pad and rotor replacement (they don't machine the rotors). They didn't cheap out.
Re: service records
that's a great BMW addy .............
that's kinda what I figured too about air filters, but I have the service records, only oil the only thing done. that story (and it may very well be just that, a story) the car was off a lease, confirmed by CarFax, the lady who owned it did all her service at Crest Cadillac in Milwaukee, the car came off a 3yr lease and she leased a new one. I'll know more about the filters when I open them up, 3yrs on a filter should be pretty dirty. Maybe tomorrow if I feel like it and it ain't too hot out. thanks, Douglas

Re: service records
Every pre owned Cadillac that I looked at prior to buying my CTS the dealer already changed the oil & filter, air filter and cabin filter as part of the car prep for resale.
That includes my CTS that was only 17 months old from the build date when I bought it.

3. We Compare Notes
We followed the cortege with our eyes until it was swiftly lost to sight in the misty
wood; and the very sound of the hoofs and the wheels died away in the silent
night air.
Nothing remained to assure us that the adventure had not been an illusion of a
moment but the young lady, who just at that moment opened her eyes. I could
not see, for her face was turned from me, but she raised her head, evidently
looking about her, and I heard a very sweet voice ask complainingly, "Where is
Our good Madame Perrodon answered tenderly, and added some comfortable
I then heard her ask:
"Where am I? What is this place?" and after that she said, "I don't see the
carriage; and Matska, where is she?"
Madame answered all her questions in so far as she understood them; and
gradually the young lady remembered how the misadventure came about, and
was glad to hear that no one in, or in attendance on, the carriage was hurt; and
on learning that her mamma had left her here, till her return in about three
months, she wept.
I was going to add my consolations to those of Madame Perrodon when
Mademoiselle De Lafontaine placed her hand upon my arm, saying:
"Don't approach, one at a time is as much as she can at present converse with; a
very little excitement would possibly overpower her now."
As soon as she is comfortably in bed, I thought, I will run up to her room and see
My father in the meantime had sent a servant on horseback for the physician,
who lived about two leagues away; and a bedroom was being prepared for the
young lady's reception.
The stranger now rose, and leaning on Madame's arm, walked slowly over the
drawbridge and into the castle gate.
In the hall, servants waited to receive her, and she was conducted forthwith to
her room. The room we usually sat in as our drawing-room is long, having four
windows, that looked over the moat and drawbridge, upon the forest scene I
have just described.
It is furnished in old carved oak, with large carved cabinets, and the chairs are
cushioned with crimson Utrecht velvet. The walls are covered with tapestry, and
surrounded with great gold frames, the figures being as large as life, in ancient
and very curious costume, and the subjects represented are hunting, hawking,
and generally festive. It is not too stately to be extremely comfortable; and here
we had our tea, for with his usual patriotic leanings he insisted that the national
beverage should make its appearance regularly with our coffee and chocolate.
We sat here this night, and with candles lighted, were talking over the adventure
of the evening.

Insulation from addition to old construction
So I have an non heated/cooled crawl space above my addition. As you can imagine it gets very hot or cold up there depending on the season. The actual addition is adequately insulated into the living area. However, the part of the addition that covers the old rear of the house is not insulated. This would be the part of the upstairs of the old part of the house. They have cut and run ducting through the roof of the original house that stick into the crawl space of the addition. Its kinda hard to describe and Ill get pics up if needed. Anyway, these holes are allowing cold/hot air from the addition crawlspace into the floor joist area of the upstairs main living area. Can I simply place insulation over the holes or do I need to seal them some other way first? Also, can i just lay insulation over the old roofing as well? THanks!
You have a crawl space above an addition ?
Usually a crawl space is under a house.
Or is it an attic.....or a crawl space between floors ?
Pics would help
But you should be able to stuff insulation around/in the holes to stop air flow
Might even be required to fire-stop these areas depending upon setup
Well, its more of an attic I guess. Its the attic above the addition. It is however, lower than the top level of the main house. Ill get pics tonight or tomorrow. Thanks Scuba

Shares of NeuStar (NSR) were up a fraction in afternoon trading Monday as RBC Capital said the company is likely to win renewal of a key telecom industry contract and increase returns to shareholders.
NeuStar garners 60% of its revenue from routing and managing phone calls and text messages for all the major U.S. telecom service providers. The clearinghouse contract expires in June 2015.
The Federal Communications Commission is overseeing the bidding process for a new NPAC (number portability administration center) contract, effective in 2015. The agency is expected to announce results by mid-2013.
"NeuStar seems well placed to retain the contract and has solid stance into following negotiations, though it remains to be seen if and to what extent the company may need to concede on pricing and terms," Daniel Meron, an RBC Capital Markets analyst, said in a research report out Monday.
The stock is up 16% in 2012. In the September quarter, sales rose 38% to $211 million and EPS increased 50% to 90 cents.
In a move to diversify from the clearinghouse business, NeuStar in 2011 acquired Targus Information, a provider of caller identification services, for $560 million in cash. Following a meeting with company executives, Meron says he expects NeuStar to be cautious in making more acquisitions.
"It seems management is looking to leverage its current operations rather than actively seek M&A, though the company continuously looks at opportunities that may fit its strategy," Meron said. " Our read is NeuStar is highly committed to continuously improving shareholder returns, building upon the moves in capital structure surrounding TargusInfo acquisition, expedited buyback and ongoing repurchases."

OVERTON, Justice.
This is a petition to review a decision of the Fourth District Court of Appeal reported as Yohanan v. DeClaire, 421 So.2d 551 (Fla. 4th DCA 1982). The district court held that the petitioner-husband's filing of a false financial affidavit in the parties' dissolution action constituted "fraud on the court" and was grounds for setting aside a property settlement agreement approved in the final judgment of dissolution entered three years prior to the commencement of this action. We find direct conflict with Truitt v. Truitt, 383 So.2d 276 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980); Erhardt v. Erhardt, 362 So.2d 70 (Fla. 2d DCA 1978), review denied, 368 So.2d 1366 (Fla. 1979); August v. August, 350 So.2d 794 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977); and Kimbrough v. McCranie, 325 So.2d 70 (Fla. 1st DCA 1976). We have jurisdiction, article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution. We find that the conduct in this case did not constitute fraud on the court, as such fraud has been defined and applied, and we quash the decision of the district court.
In the instant case, the petitioner-husband and the respondent-wife dissolved their marriage on October 27, 1977. The final judgment of dissolution incorporated a property settlement agreement entered into between the parties. The record reflects that this was a contested dissolution with substantial discovery and multiple proceedings before and after the entry of final judgment. Three years after the entry of the final judgment, the respondent-wife petitioned for an increase in child support. She later amended her petition, seeking to have the final judgment of dissolution set aside and to have the property settlement agreement declared void on the ground that the petitioner had fraudulently misrepresented his net worth in a financial affidavit on which the respondent allegedly relied in entering into the property settlement agreement.
Following an evidentiary hearing, the trial court (1) granted an increase in child support; (2) found that the financial affidavit executed by the petitioner was false in that it did not accurately reflect the petitioner's assets and liabilities or petitioner's net worth at the time of the dissolution; and (3) denied respondent's request that the property settlement agreement be declared void because the respondent knew or should have known of her former husband's true net worth as she had previously co-signed financial statements presented to a bank for the purpose of obtaining a loan and because information concerning the petitioner's true net worth could have been and should have been brought to the trial court's attention.
The district court reversed the trial court's refusal to set aside the property settlement agreement, finding that petitioner's conduct was fraud on the court. The district court recognized that the application of the concept of fraud on the court is restricted because public policy favors the termination of litigation, but held that "the public policy favoring the termination of litigation must yield in the present case to the public policy favoring the filing of accurate financial affidavits in dissolution actions." 421 So.2d at 553. According to the district court, the petitioner's "fraudulent affidavit constituted fraud upon the court because a trial court cannot properly determine what to award the parties or whether to approve a property settlement agreement without a true understanding of the parties' financial condition." Id. We disagree.
At the outset we must distinguish between extrinsic fraud and intrinsic fraud
Consistent with the general rule, this Court has defined extrinsic fraud as the
Fair v. Tampa Electric Co., 158 Fla. 15, 18, 27 So.2d 514, 515 (1946). See Black's Law Dictionary 595 (rev. 5th ed. 1979). In other words, extrinsic fraud occurs where a defendant has somehow been prevented from participating in a cause.
Intrinsic fraud, on the other hand, applies to fraudulent conduct that arises within a proceeding and pertains to the issues in the case that have been tried or could have been tried. This Court, consistent with the general rule, has expressly held that false testimony given in a proceeding is intrinsic fraud. We have stated that
Johnson v. Wells, 72 Fla. 290, 299, 73 So. 188, 191 (1916) (citation omitted).
The concept of fraud on the court has historically been limited in its application to ensure the finality of judgments and to avoid frequent attacks against final judgments. Prior to the adoption of Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b), only what was defined as "extrinsic fraud" could, in reality, form the basis for relief from a judgment. Johnson v. Wells; Fair v. Tampa Electric Co. Further, such relief could be obtained only by an independent action in equity. There was no practical basis for relief from a judgment obtained by intrinsic fraud. Rule 1.540(b) was adopted in 1962 as Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.38(b) and was modeled on Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60. The Committee Note to rule 1.540 indicates that the rule is "[s]ubstantially the same as Federal Rule 60." In re Florida Rules of Civil Procedure 1967 Revision, 187 So.2d 598, 631 (Fla. 1966). See 7 J. Moore & J. Lucas, Moore's Federal Practice ¶ 60.31-33 (2d ed. 1983). The Florida rule was not intended to restrict the existing remedies. Like the federal rule, it was intended to provide a modern, simplified procedure for seeking relief from judgments. Further, the rule expanded, to a limited extent, the grounds for setting aside a judgment. Immediately following its adoption, it was explained that the rule
Barns & Mattis, 1962 Amendments to the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, 17 U.Miami L.Rev. 276, 291 (1963) (footnote omitted). See also 33 Fla.Jur.2d Judgments and Decrees § 352; Trawick, Florida Practice and Procedure § 26.8 (1982).
Under rule 1.540(b)
Where relief from a judgment is sought by motion, "[t]he motion is filed in the action in which the judgment was rendered." Trawick, Florida Practice and Procedure § 26.8 (1982). Where relief is sought by independent action, however, "[t]he action is not a continuation of the action in which the judgment ... under attack was entered. A new complaint is filed, service of process is made and the new action follows the same procedure as other civil actions." Id.
For better understanding, the circumstances under which a judgment may be challenged are set forth as follows:
It should be clearly understood that rule 1.540(b) broadened the grounds upon which a final judgment could be attacked, but created a one-year limitations period within which such an attack must be made. The rule does not change the existing definitions of intrinsic and extrinsic fraud or change the type of conduct which constitutes fraud on the court.
Since the adoption of rule 1.540(b), all of the case law interpreting it concerns actions attacking a judgment more than one year old. In Alexander v. First National Bank, 275 So.2d 272 (Fla.4th DCA 1973), the original plaintiff in the case sought to enforce a final judgment of foreclosure and a deficiency judgment. Alexander, as original defendant, filed a counterclaim which alleged that in the prior action the plaintiff had misstated the amount of Alexander's indebtedness. The counterclaim further alleged that the final judgment of foreclosure and the deficiency judgment were in error and that the plaintiff's conduct was fraud on the court. The district court found that the misstatement of the indebtedness did not constitute fraud on the court and stated:
275 So.2d at 274.
In Truitt v. Truitt, 383 So.2d 276 (Fla.5th DCA 1980), the wife brought suit more than two years after the entry of final judgment of dissolution on the grounds that her former husband had perjured himself in his deposition testimony. The district court concluded that the husband's perjury in his deposition did not constitute fraud on the court and could not be the basis for setting aside the judgment. In August v. August, 350 So.2d 794 (Fla.3d DCA 1977), the wife filed a motion eighteen months after the entry of the final judgment of dissolution seeking to set aside the judgment on the grounds that her husband had concealed his assets and used duress and undue influence in obtaining a settlement from her. The district court held that the husband's conduct did not constitute fraud on the court. In Erhardt v. Erhardt, 362 So.2d 70 (Fla.2d DCA 1978), review denied, 368 So.2d 1366 (Fla. 1979), the husband filed a motion for relief from a final judgment of dissolution almost two years after its entry, alleging that the wife had fraudulently misrepresented the husband's income in the dissolution proceeding. The district court affirmed the trial court's holding that the wife's conduct was not fraud on the court. And in Kimbrough v. McCranie, 325 So.2d 70 (Fla.1st DCA 1976), the district court held that allegations that the plaintiff had falsely stated in the trial the amount of damages he sustained did not constitute fraud on the court.
In the recent decision of Brown v. Brown, 432 So.2d 704 (Fla.3d DCA 1983), the Third District Court of Appeal extensively reviewed the history of rule 1.540(b) and the case law relating to attacks on final judgments. In its analysis, the Third
Determining the conduct that constitutes intrinsic fraud, which requires action under the rule within one year of the entry of a final judgment, and the conduct that constitutes extrinsic fraud, for which an action may be brought at any time, is the critical issue in the instant case. The cases distinguish between false and misleading information being presented on an issue to be tried and conduct which prevents a party from trying the issue. When an issue is before a court for resolution, and the complaining party could have addressed the issue in the proceeding, such as attacking the false testimony or misrepresentation through cross examination and other evidence, then the improper conduct, even though it may be perjury, is intrinsic fraud and an attack on a final judgment based on such fraud must be made within one year of the entry of the judgment.
It is clear that the false financial affidavits submitted by the petitioner-husband were part of the record in this case. The issue of the husband's net worth was, therefore, a matter before the court for resolution and could have been tried. There were multiple proceedings in this cause before and after the entry of the final judgment. In addition, the trial judge found that the respondent-wife had information which should have given her notice of the falsity of the husband's financial information. In our view, this conduct is intrinsic fraud and the trial judge correctly determined that there was no fraud on the court in this case. To approve the asserted public policy decision expressed by the district court in this case would require a change in the definitions of intrinsic fraud and extrinsic fraud. The district court's holding could not logically be restricted to false financial disclosures in dissolution proceedings. Such a holding would necessarily require an inclusion of false testimony given in affidavits, depositions, or at trial as fraud on the court. It would permit any final judgment to be attacked at any time if a party could allege that an intentional misrepresentation was made by affidavit, deposition, or testimony presented in the case. By so expanding the definition of fraud on the court, we would also be substantially expanding the grounds on which final judgments may be attacked. The Brown decision and the Fourth District's decision in the instant case raise a major public policy question relating to how final judgments may be attacked and set aside. Public policy has always favored the termination of litigation after a party has had an opportunity for a trial and an appeal of the trial court's judgment. Consequently, the grounds upon which a final judgment may be set aside, other than by appeal, are limited in order to allow the parties and the public to rely on duly entered final judgments. Rule 1.540(b) broadened the grounds upon which final judgments may be attacked but we do not find it appropriate to further broaden these grounds by decision of this court. If there
For the reasons expressed, we quash the decision of the district court of appeal and remand the case with directions to reinstate the judgment of the trial court. We also disapprove the Third District's decision in Brown to the extent that it conflicts with our decision in the instant case.
It is so ordered.
ALDERMAN, C.J., and BOYD, McDONALD, EHRLICH and SHAW, JJ., concur.
ADKINS, J., concurs in result only.
(b) Mistakes; Inadvertence; Excusable Neglect; Newly Discovered Evidence; Fraud, etc. On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or his legal representative from a final judgment, decree, order or proceeding for the following reasons: (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial or rehearing; (3) fraud (whether heretofore denominated intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation or other misconduct of an adverse party; (4) the judgment or decree is void; (5) the judgment or decree has been satisfied, released or discharged or a prior judgment or decree upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated or it is no longer equitable that the judgment or decree should have prospective application. The motion shall be made within a reasonable time, and for reasons (1), (2), and (3) not more than one year after the judgment, decree, order or proceeding was entered or taken. A motion under this subdivision does not affect the finality of a judgment or decree or suspend its operation. This rule does not limit the power of a court to entertain an independent action to relieve a party from a judgment, decree, order or proceeding or to set aside a judgment or decree for fraud upon the court.

BenQ PE8720 Darkchip3 DLP Home Theater Projector
But a home theater projector is not just about viewing movies on DVD. And not always about pitch dark or near pitch dark rooms. So I also observed (extensively) the projector in both the home theater mode and brighter Family Room mode, with a variety of HD sources, including two D-VHS 1080i tapes (Hawaiian Tropic Pagent, and Over America sightseeing tour), and lots of HDTV content off of cable, including several football games in Hi-Def, Jay Leno, and a variety of content off of Discovery HD and INHD1 and 2 channels – assorted content including a movie or two.
This PE8720 appears extremely bright in the Family Room mode, and is able to handle modest ambient light – almost effortlessly. (The football games looked incredible, but of course even a little ambient light will wash out very dark movie scenes with any projector. In fact, the only adjustment I made in Family Room mode, was to turn down the color saturation (from its default 8 to -2 or -4 if I had the lights low, but with a lot of ambient light the 8 setting helped to limit colors from washing out.
I have worked with a number of high end projectors, including Marantz's VP-12S4 – $14,449 (which I really like, and which, like the BenQ, produces an exceptionally sharp image). Overall, this definitely is the best projector I have used so far, in its price range, or below. In fact the BenQ comes very close to the Marantz in overall performance, but there are some differences – the BenQ is actually better on shadow detail, while the Marantz's strength is highlight details in very bright scenes. One of my other favorite projectors – using the DarkChip 3 DLP is Optoma's H78DC3 projector, which is a superb value (typical online price under $4000).
While the price is right on the Optoma, it cannot match (at all) the sharpness of the BenQ image, a real factor for people who like me, like to sit close to get the larger screen effect. The Optoma also needs notable color adjustments, with out of box color leaning noticeably toward green. The BenQ PE8720 though, as mentioned, is almost perfect in color balance out of the box. For those into specs, RGB values for R,G,and B, (ideally all values should equal 1) measured: R=.951, G=1.008, B= 1.054 (SMPTE 240M standard), out of the box in Home Theater Mode.
So what's the bottom line on the BenQ PE8720? It's definitely a winner. As this projector performs so well, I have made my final decision. Instead of saving money, and installing Optoma's H78DC3 to replace my aging BenQ PE8700+ (a year and a half old), I am going ahead "dropping the big bucks" to go with the PE8720 in my own home theater! This should keep me thoroughly happy until 3 chip DLP 1080p resolution projectors come down to the same price range. (The first such projectors are coming to market soon, and the prices are going to start at about 3 times this price.)
The installers are coming next Wednesday to install the PE8720 into my own home theater. (My old projector hangs down over six feet from my cathedral ceiling in my home theater.) The BenQ PE8720 projector, thanks to a longer throw lens and more range on the zoom, will be mounted on a shelf, 21 feet back, and about even with the top of my 128″ Stewart Firehawk screen (a truly excellent combination). That means the old ceiling mount comes down, and wires have to be re-routed, but, that's detail stuff, compared to the huge improvement in picture quality, sharpness (and brightness). I've been using this BenQ on a table for the last 10 days, and…. I'm really excited!
Finally, BenQ's PE8720 projector certainly get's my full endorsement
Where to get your BenQ PE8720 projector: My understanding is that the BenQ PE8720 will be available through custom installation companies and local home theater dealers often referred to as the CEDIA channel. According to BenQ this projector will not be available online, other than your ability to locate online, a local dealer who can sell it to you, and handle your projector installation if needed.

Citation: Herbel, M.J., Suarez, D.L., Goldberg, S.R., Gao, S. 2007. Evaluation of chemical amendments for ph and redox stabiliztion in aqueous suspensions of three california soils. Soil Science Society of America Journal. Vol 71(3): 927-939 Interpretive Summary: Discharge of selenium in agricultural drainage waters is of environmental concern and subject to increasing regulation. Development of management practices to reduce concentrations in discharge water requires that we understand the processes that control transport. Selenium mobility is highly dependent on oxidation state. In this study we evaluate the use of chemical amendments to stabilize pH and redox in order to study the rates of selenium reduction under different anaerobic conditions (redox). Various amendments were successful in stabilizing pH and Eh however they resulted in differing distributions of redox species for several elements, indicating that Eh characterization is not sufficient to represent oxidation states of individual elements. These results indicate that we will have to measure a variety of redox-sensitive species when characterizing the anaerobic states of a soil. This complexity suggests that we utilize an empirical approach to characterizing selenium reduction rates.
Technical Abstract: Many chemically and biologically important trace element, heavy metal, and organic contaminant reactions in soils are constrained by pH and redox conditions and changes in these conditions can significantly affect reaction rates. Although closed-system, batch methods have been used for many years to study contaminant reaction kinetics; redox conditions in such suspensions over extended durations have not been well evaluated. Here we tested a suite of readily available chemicals for their ability to buffer pH and redox potential (Eh) of anaerobic soil-water (1:4 or 1:5) suspensions at specific levels under closed conditions. After initial titration, Good buffers (20 mM MES, PIPES, HEPES, TAPS and CHES) were able to stabilize the pH of the soil suspensions within plus or minus 0.3 units of the target pH (5.8 to 8.9) for a period of at least 8 d. The ability of redox active chemicals, such as NaNO3, Fe(III)NTA, Ti(III)NTA, Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides, cysteine-HCI, dithiothreitol and ascorbic acid, to stabilize Eh at specific levels (+400 to -300 mV) depended heavily on the initial concentration of the chemical as well as the organic carbon and nitrogen status of the soil. Redox stabilization in most soils was typically achieved within a period of 3-4 weeks. Fe(II):Fe(III) ratios in 1 M HCI soil extracts and S(¬II):SO4(2-) ratios in filtrates generally reflect the redox condition as measured by the platinum electrode, although ascorbic acid and cysteine-HCI tended to enhance reduced products over that of dithiothreitol and Ti(III)NTA, which yielded similarly low Eh readings. This investigation demonstrates that the pH and Eh of enclosed soil-water suspensions can be buffered for long periods over a wide range of conditions using soluble chemicals alone.
