New centrist party forms in Utah to attract disaffected...
United Utah » Founders say other parties are too extreme; aim to participate in special election.
By Lee Davidson @ The Salt Lake Tribune, May 25
Some centrist Utah Republicans and Democrats — tired of dominance in their parties by the far right or left — formed Monday the new United Utah Party.
Former Utah County Democratic Chairman Richard Davis, a Brigham Young University political science professor, is chairman of the new organization. Its executive director is Jim Bennett, the son and campaign manager of the late three-term Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett.Read the article at http://www.sltrib.com/home/5317869-155/new-centrist-party-forms-in-utah

Kushner Wanted Secret Communications Channel With Kremlinsubmitted by barefooted 1 day ago
Jared Kushner and Russia's ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump's transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports.Read the article at https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/russian-ambassador-told-moscow-that-kushner-wanted-secret-communications-channel-with-kremlin/2017/05/26/520a14b4-422d-11e7-9869-bac8b446820a_story.html?utm_term=.c2cab98f4d00

Seems the folks in Washington getting clever. Flynn won't offer up documents personally? well, subpoena his company instead - companies aren't quite people too when it comes to resisting inquiries.
Same with FBI - much was made of Mueller's law firm's holding Jason Kushner as a client, which could prevent the FBI special counsel from investigating him without Congress waiving restrictions. But by talking to him as a non "Subject of Investigation", the FBI can continue looking around the edges without drawing fire for inappropriate expansion of the investigation.Read the article at http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jared-kushner-now-under-fbi-scrutiny-russia-probe-say-officials-n764826

The first use of chemical agents in the battle for Mosul was recorded by the International Red Cross in March, when mortars were fired from IS-held areas injuring 12 civilians.

Hi there, first post to this site
I have made a bench in max, took it into ZBrush and sculpted away. Did Xnormal and such to get the colour and normals from the sculpt, and have my bench now complete. Expect one thing, the wooden beams of the bench are paler for some reason.
In the viewport the wood on the bench is a darker brown, but when it is rendered it is alot lighter.
I noticed it was only the wooden beam and not the concrete legs when I applied a completely red texture to the asset, and the legs were bright red like it should have been, but the wood was pink.
Also Ive exported it, brought other modes in and such, and it is the same in other scenes, everything else is fine but the wood still. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

From the film A Streetcar Named Desire to the Godfather: the icon of Marlon Brando. And then the 100 years of the director Dino Risi, starting from the restored film "Il sorpasso", his cult movie.
The Cineteca di Bologna is ready to raise the curtain on Piazza Maggiore: over 50 nights of great cinema with Sotto le stelle del cinema, an event capable of gathering thousands of people in front of a big screen showing the famous classical films of cinema history or the proposals of the most interesting recent productions.
Screenings start at 10 pm and admission is free.
Sotto le stelle del cinema - promoted by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna as part of the summer calendar of events bè bolognaestate 2016, is going to open its 2016 edition on Saturday, June 18th with the new documentary specially made by Giorgio Diritti to celebrate the Ninth centenary of Comune di Bologna foundation.
Screenings in Piazza Maggiore will then go on till August 15th included.
Besides the retrospectives dedicated to Marlon Brando and Dino Risi, the 30th edition of Il Cinema Ritrovato festival (25 June - 2 July) represents the heart of the cinema summer season in Piazza Maggiore.
A first step towards the Festival is the restored Amarcord by Federico Fellini, on Sunday June 19th.
On Tuesday, June 21st the first special night dedicated to Dino Risi, with the film Il Sorpasso, restored by the laboratory L'Immagine Ritrovata. Other Risi's films are scheduled in August.
On Thursday, June 23rd a French atmosphere will spread in Piazza Maggiore with the George Bizet's Carmen in the Francesco Rosi's cinema version and with the performance of the famous basso Ruggero Raimondi. He will be the special guest of the event, together with Nicolas Seydoux of Gaumont and Frédérique Bredin, president of Centre national du cinéma et de l'image animée (CNC). In fact, this year Fête du Cinema (opening in France on June 26th) will have an Italian prologue in Bologna.
On the occasion of the inauguration of Lumière! L'invenzione del cinematografo (Spazio Sottopasso in Piazza Re Enzo), the night of Friday, June 24th will be dedicated to the Lumière brothers, with a selection of their films, commentated by the exhibition curator Thierry Fremaux.
Saturday, June 25th is the opening day of the festival Il Cinema Ritrovato: 400 films from the morning to night, in 5 different cinemas, and every night in Piazza Maggiore. Here, among the others, Charlie Chaplin's "Modern times" to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the film. The live performance of Orchestra del Teatro Comunale will accompany the event.
A lot of nowadays cinema is also in the programme. A particular attention will be paid to the director, producer and actress Valeria Golino, jury member of the of the last Festival of Cannes. Between July and August the great Marlon Brando will be the protagonist again, while Dino Risi's films will close Sotto le stelle del cinema in August.

Ground Source Heat Pump Values Rising
By PILJAE IM, XIAOBING LIU and JEFF MUNK
There's a lot to like about Ground-Source Heat Pump (GSHP) Systems.
They're sustainable and proven in both residential and commercial buildings. Because the earth provides a more favorable heat source and heat sink than ambient air, GSHPs are one of the most efficient technologies available for space conditioning and water heating.
Yet, recent studies reveal, less than 1 percent of U.S. houses use a GSHP system, with economics cited as the major barrier to broader use.1 Improving the economics requires that we reduce installation costs, improve system performance or both. That is the aim of a research project Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has undertaken with several partners.
To reduce costs, we're evaluating two technologies: (1) a foundation heat exchanger (FHX), which applies only to new construction or additions to existing homes; and (2) a ground-source integrated heat pump (GS-IHP), integrating space heating, space cooling, on-demand dehumidification and water-heating functions into one piece of equipment.
The GS-IHP, which applies to new construction and retrofits, also promises significant improvements in performance.
A little more than a year into research demonstrating the FHX, working with a state-of-the-art GSHP unit, it has maintained comfortable temperatures for household heating and cooling. Early estimates indicate that when implemented at scale in the test region of East Tennessee, the FHX approach may be feasible at $1,000 per ton — a fraction of the cost of the outdoor portion of traditional GSHP systems.
Although we're still gathering performance data for the GS-IHP prototype, our technology partner plans to launch a product line based on the technology later this year.
Testing the FHX Concept
Why do GSHP systems cost so much more than conventional space-conditioning and water-heating systems? The cost premium is primarily associated with drilling boreholes or excavating trenches and installing vertical or horizontal ground heat exchangers (or loops) in them.
The FHX concept is based on the premise that today, in many climates, it is economically feasible to build new homes and home additions having thermal loads so modest that they can be met by a GSHP system whose loop is installed in the construction excavations — without any extra drilling or digging.
These construction excavations commonly include the overcut around the basement and below the basement floor, utility trenches (for buried water, sewer and power lines) and footer drains. If this premise is true, FHX has the potential to significantly reduce GSHP cost premiums. ORNL's research project was designed to test this premise.
Unlike conventional horizontal ground heat exchangers, loops buried in the overcut may experience thermal interference with the basement wall, an effect not accounted for by any design tools for ground heat exchangers. This research project focused on developing what is needed to engineer loops in the overcut around the basement.
A team from Oklahoma State University (OSU), led by Dr. Jeff Spitler and including Dr. Simon Rees (De Montfort University, United Kingdom) and several post-graduate students, joined the research partnership to develop the necessary overcut-loop-design tool and a model of the entire FHX (overcut, underfloor, utility trench) suitable for integration into EnergyPlus, the U.S. Department of Energy's flagship whole-building energy modeling software. The team uses experimental data collected from a real installation of the FHX to validate the design tool and simulation model.
Schaad Cos. (schaadcompanies.com), ORNL's founding partner in ZEBRAlliance — a public-private collaboration to maximize cost-effective energy efficiency in buildings (zebralliance.com) — has built four energy-efficient test houses in the Crossroads at Wolf Creek Subdivision in Oak Ridge, Tenn. Houses 1 and 2 are three-level buildings with walkout basements used for the FHX research.
The side-by-side research houses have identical 3,700-square-foot floor plans. In these unoccupied research houses, human impact on energy use is simulated to match the national average, with showers, lights, ovens, washers and other energy-consuming equipment turned on and off at exactly the same times. Simulating occupancy eliminates a major source of uncertainty in whole-house research projects of this type.
Houses 1 and 2 each test different envelope strategies, but both have very low air leakage and high levels of insulation, and thus have very low heat gain and loss through the building envelope. In short, they are exactly the type of home where FHX should work. The details of each house's envelope characteristics are described in a recent paper.2 Owing to their high-quality thermal envelopes, the 3,700-square-foot houses have been adequately served by one 2-ton GSHP system each, whereas 4 to 5 tons of space-conditioning capacity are typically installed in homes of that size in East Tennessee.
The objective of this research project was to develop and validate the FHX design tools, so these tools obviously were not available for the design of the loops for houses 1 and 2. The two houses' cooling and heating design loads were calculated using "Manual J: Residential Load Calculation" and associated software tools developed by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). Our team sized the heat pumps using ACCA's "Manual S: Residential Equipment Selection."
The overcut loops were sized to take advantage of all the existing overcut, and several team members at ORNL and OSU estimated the remaining heat source/sink capacity needs so that conventional loop-design software could be used to size additional horizontal loops needed to maintain the entering fluid temperature of the heat pump between 35°F and 95°F (2°C to 35°C), given soil temperature and thermal conductivity at the site. All overcuts and trenches received six-pipe loops (three circuits of one-inch-diameter high-density polyethylene pipe, out and back) with a minimum 1 foot of spacing between pipes.
To obtain data for validating the overcut loop-sizing method and performance-simulation model, it is important that the overall loop be sufficiently sized so that loop operating temperatures are in the design range. To accomplish this, for the purposes of this experiment, our team used horizontal loops installed in all the utility trenches plus some additional trenching to provide adequate capacity, rather than installing loops below the basement floor. However, calculations indicate that if the loop were installed below the basement floor, no additional trenching would have been necessary.
Comparing Standard, Integrated Heat Pumps
Construction of houses 1 and 2 was completed in November 2009, and data collection began in December. Baseline data was collected during the first year, when each home used one water-to-air heat pump for space conditioning (the two-stage ClimateMaster model TTV026) and a separate water-to-water heat pump for water heating. The three-circuit (six-pipe) ground loop was "headered" into a single supply and return in the basement, allowing the two heat pumps to operate in parallel, connected to the common supply and return. The baseline data documents the performance of the FHX−GSHP system using the best water- source heat-pump equipment commercially available, from industry partner ClimateMaster; the equipment fully satisfies the space-conditioning and water-heating loads in houses 1 and 2 with national average occupancy.
In November 2010, we replaced each home's two heat pumps with a single prototype GS-IHP that provides both space conditioning and water heating. For several years ClimateMaster has been collaborating with ORNL under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to develop the GS-IHP, which is expected to be significantly more energy efficient than currently available heat pumps. Comparing data from years one and two will establish the energy savings of the GS-IHP compared to the two-heat-pump configuration.
However, the most common GSHP configuration on the market is a single water-to-air heat pump with a desuperheater, which provides only a portion of the required hot water as a byproduct when the compressor operates for space heating or cooling. After the GS-IHP data is available, our team will use calibrated models to compare the performance of all three configurations (one heat pump with desuperheater, two heat pumps and the GS-IHP). Cost estimates will also be provided. ClimateMaster anticipates launching a Trilogy water-source heat-pump product line based on the GS-IHP technology in 2011.
Assessing Early Results
Preliminary analysis of the data measured at the ZEBRAlliance research houses since November 2009 indicates that space-conditioning and water-heating needs could have been provided to the houses with ground heat exchangers installed in just the excavations required for construction — the basement overcut, below the basement floor and the utility trenches. As mentioned, no extra digging or drilling would have been required except making the utility trenches slightly deeper than normal.
The data showed that the installed loops and heat pumps all performed as expected, indicating that they were adequately sized for the 3,700-square-foot homes. Temperatures of the fluid entering the heat pumps ranged from 33°F to 93°F (0.6°C to 34°C) at house 1 and 34°F to 90°F (1°C to 32°C) at house 2 — within good proximity to the design range of 35°F to 95°F (2°C to 35°C). Heating and cooling set points maintained throughout the year were 71°F and 76°F (22°C and 24°C), respectively. From January through March 2010, the supplemental electric resistance heater was never activated at house 1 and consumed only 66 kilowatt-hours at house 2.
Early estimates indicate that when implemented at scale by a production builder in this region, this FHX approach may be feasible at $1,000 per ton. That compares with traditional vertical-loop and six-pipe-per-trench horizontal-loop systems that typically are installed in this region at $3,000 per ton and $2,250 per ton, respectively. The actual cost of a particular project may vary depending on drilling/ trenching conditions, regional cost variations, underground soil thermal properties and building geometry.
This September we're scheduled to release the FHX-sizing tool and performance-simulation model integrated with EnergyPlus, as well as a comprehensive technical report documenting the basis for the FHX-sizing tool, the performance-simulation model, the data measurements and the validation of the sizing tool and simulation model. ClimateMaster also plans to make its Trilogy line of water-source heat pumps, based on the GS-IHP technology, commercially available in 2011. These and other innovations may provide the affordability break-through for GSHP systems that homebuilders, homeowners and energy-efficiency advocates have been seeking.

I look in the mirror and someone in it.
Someone akin, someone different inside.
So many changes she has gone through
I see her dark kohl filled eyes
Silent tears running down her cheeks,
Blood boozing out the cuts and slits on her wrists.
Lost and lonely sitting in the dark,
She raises herself to the mirror n looks back,
Misinterpretation of brain or Illusion of mind.
She draws close to me and utters these lines;
"What have you done to me, m heading to an end,
And there is no light that I find!"
Your heart has loved and my eyes cried..
I found no way out how much I tried! "
I wonder why there is this pain in her eyes..
Is he the reason, or is it my crime?
A worry of the future and a shadow of the past,
How long will this eternal evil last?

Bagagge HandlerMature
Such are the dark and desrerate sides of me packed neatly into little packages and lugged around. Like tiny little presents in disguise, waiting for those few trusted souls to take a peak inside. As If I'm something work cracking open. I tend to smell foul at times. I admit this. Unlike my long time girlfriend and room mate, "Patty". I call her "Patty Pretentious" behind her back. Looking at me she can rest quite smuggly in my imperfections. All the while ignorning her own. The truth is, I hate people like this . The type of people you might find lounging around all day at the Yaht Club. The women lounging around the pool side all day , sporting their phony plastic botoxed smiles. Under a perfectly applied coat of lipstick. I bet their faces would crack like a Porclean china Tea cup, if they were to actually reflect a real heart felt smile. Even the music they listen to is void of lyrics. Maybe they think the lyrics we, the average commoner listens to is just not quite good enough for them. I think a fitting name for this group would be , "The Too preppy to Poop Club" . I often wonder if they have ever had a real good case of "Flatulence" The kind of gas one might get inflicted with just before going out on a hot date with a guy you actually cared about. The type of gas that leaves you wanting to stay alone all evening. Close the blinds lock the door, pop in a movie and retire for the evning alone. But no , not these types of people. They know exactly what food to eat and what foods to stay away from. You will never see them stray from their menu. Not because they don't want to , but in fact they can't.
I guess I should feel compassion or pitty for these people. After all what kind of life do they really live. Sure they have their plastic credit cards, their plastic smiles. And the men all have their Yahts, their summer sports cars, Their chess games reserved for afternoons when it is pouring rain. Or the golf course where they can show off their skills. One afternoon while cleaning around the pool , I caught the sound of a real laugh, coming from the other side of the pool. This sound being so foreign in this place almost gave me a heart attack. I looked up quickly and across the pool. It was dead silent, Every head on deck was turned to one lady, The look in their eyes , the expressions on their faces. Was that of total sheer terror!! . This lady who bravely, and for one moment forgot her standing revealed her humaness, by exhibiting a very short lived but hearty laugh. She quickly put her hands to her mouth. As if to hide the mistake. The silence was deafening. The event was over as quickly as it came. Everyone went back to their monotone stone statued life. . They are as shallow as the crepe's they pretend to eat in the mid morning. They remind me of replicats. I mean they look like us, they have eyes, a nose , hands fingers, torso legs and toes, But they are empty. Even all the men wear the exact same cologne. What kind of people collectively just get together each summer and bring the exact same cologne?. This truly baffles my simple mind. And where are the children? Surely they must procreate. Do they ship them off to camps, or do they stay at home under the care and supervision of a Nanny. One morning while making beds I deliberately with interest overheard a conversation between a couple . They were discussing therapy for a ten year old girl. I had just asumed it was their daughter. Although I had no real evidence to back up this asumption. Apparently the little girl , I believe her name was "Valium" , was refusing to go to her Vilolin lessons. This couple believing it was serious enough to warent therapy, wanting to set up an appointment immediately. I should coment on the fact that the name "Valium" is of particular interest here. That this is not a normal name to attach to a child. Or that naming this child with a name such as , "Valium" is begging for problems as she grows into her own and has to explain to people why her parents chose to call her this. But this is irrelevent because she will never have the chance to have her name questioned by people like us. The average commoner. As long as she stays a member of this group her name is fitting. The fact that this little girl was refusing her music lessons was of no interest to me. Or the pretentious rediculous reason they felt deserved therapy in the first place. What interested me was the conversation between this couple. The manner in which they discussed the issue. Most couples will debate, argue, negotiate, scream and even yelll , to come to a resolve of some sort. Sometimes there is even mis comunication where one person is talking Apples and one is talking Oranges. Not so with this couple. It was just a decided collective think before they even opened their mouths. All they did was mirror the exact same thoughts. Like a Parrot in a cage, to another Parrot in a cage . I remember having the feeling of being terribly alone. Starting to question my sanity , I quickly finished fluffing the pillow, placing the chocolate on the pillow. And ran down to the kitchen to sneak a glass of Wine. All before noon.

If Their Courage Could Be MineMature
It's about wishing that you had the courage like your friends to stand up for yourself and tell people who you really are
I'm singing out, unusual but who are they to judge
I'm dancing now because tonight I've had enough
Why should I listen to words designed to destroy?
Why should I even care?
Conform to the will of friends, converted to enemies
People who are no longer there
I will help you in your hour of need
They say it now but reluctant in deed
They were never the right ones
Never true, but distorted like a haze
I shall smile on and shine on, though I'm dazed
An inner beauty with the power to amaze
Those burning stars in their eyes
If only that sparkle, the supernova could be mine
Down but never beaten, I am stronger
Kicked and desecrated, but no longer
Blind to the actions of those who live for consequence
Live to see some implosion at some other's expense
With thought and deeds at your head like a target
But you are stronger, never change to adapt but rise above it
Tonight we are greater souls than them
Those burning stars in her eyes
If only that sparkle, the supernova could be mine
Down but never beaten, I am stronger

I've since re-visited the code, and found another issue > background > ---------------- > I have a TN5250 client (see rfc1205) which extends TelnetClient. Basically, the client negotiates BINARY transmission and operates in block-mode. The client sends IAC+EOR to notify the host that the data is complete, but the TelnetOutputStream doubles-up the IAC automatically as if it was a data byte, which iis not the case, resulting in IAC+IAC+EOR. > Two possible solutions come to mind: > 1. Do not double-up IAC when in BINARY transmission in TelnetOutputStream (i.e. leave it to the client) > 2. Add a method to TelnetClient like -- sendCommand(byte b) {........} which would act similar to sendAYT, only allowing the client to specify the value. > On balance, I like the second option, as it would give more future possibilities. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Dorothy Wedderburn was one of this country's most distinguished social scientists, establishing industrial strategy as a major discipline and identifying many of the problems of poverty which would have an impact on political and academic policies; she was also the major architect behind the merger of Bedford New College and Royal Holloway College, guiding the new institution through the difficult 1980s to become the highly esteemed institution that it is today.
A warm, dynamic, directly spoken woman, Wedderburn was born in Walthamstow, London in 1925. She was fiercely proud of her working-class background; her father, Frederick Barnard, was a carpenter and a trade-union activist while her mother Ethel, had left school at 13 to work in service. They were determined that their children would receive the opportunities they had missed; Dorothy's brother George won a scholarship to Cambridge and later become president of the Royal Statistical Society.
Wedderburn went to the local high school for girls and in 1943 won a scholarship to Girton College, Cambridge, reading economics. She joined the Communist party, as had her brother, and although she left in the late 1950s, she remained a left-wing member of the labour movement, albeit occasionally critical.
After university she became a civil-service research officer at the Board of Trade, returning to Cambridge following marriage to the economic historian AN (Max) Cole, where she spent 15 years first as a research officer, then as senior research officer in the department of applied economics. In 1960 her marriage ended, and two years later she married Bill Wedderburn, a labour lawyer, later a Labour peer.
In 1965, at the instigation of Joan Woodward she joined Imperial College as a lecturer, becoming reader, then professor in industrial sociology. She later became head of its department of social and economic studies. The pair attracted large sums of money from research councils and organisations such as Fords, ICI, the Post Office and government bodies, building up one of the most effective research facilities in this country. Their work on the relationship between structure, technology and performance earned them worldwide renown.
She had already contributed a series of studies that were to establish her reputation: The Economic Circumstances of Old People (1962); White Collar Redundancy (1964); The Aged in the Welfare State (1965, with Peter Townsend); Workers' Attitudes and Technology (1972) and Poverty, Inequality and Class Structure (1974) were to have a major impact on sociological and political debate and attitudes, as were her articles in New Left Review and the Socialist Register.
Dame Sandra Dawson, deputy vice chancellor of Cambridge University and KPMG professor of management, worked with Wedderburn at Imperial and said: "She had exceptionally strong values; a strong sense of the importance of education, and of being able to have shoes on your feet. She had a great sociological imagination, she was able to analyse something and create a narrative around it. Her work in the creation of industrial sociology was very important, and led to the setting-up of business schools. She was also great fun, she was very clear, very straight with the capacity to relate to anyone she met."
She served on many councils and inquiries: she was a member of the Royal Commission on the distribution of income and wealth, and served on the committee which looked in to nurses' pay and conditions; she was a member of the Economic and Social Research Council and Acas. She received honorary degrees and fellowships from 10 universities and served as chair of the committee of enquiry into the imprisonment of women. Her last publication, in 2000, was Justice for Women: the case for reform, which called for women to serve community sentences instead of going to prison.
In 1981 she became principal of Bedford New College, London. Realising that the college faced drastic cuts and loss of its Regent Park sites, she began talks which led to amalgamation with Royal Holloway College in 1985. Royal Holloway and Bedford New College was designated one of the five science sites of the University of London, with Wedderburn appointed its first principal. Faced with government cuts, she took action which led to the closure of the chemistry department and a cut in staff. She also agreed to the sale of three of the most valuable paintings in Royal Holloway's collection. Her decisions, though controversial, meant the new college survived, and in 2002 was rated as ninth in the country by the Financial Times.
"She was an eminent social scientist whose influence spread far beyond the academic world," said Professor Paul Layzell of Royal Holloway. "Overseeing the merger of Royal Holloway and Bedford New College in 1985, and becoming its first principal, she undoubtedly established the foundations on which our success today is built."
Dorothy Enid Barnard, social scientist: born London 18 September 1925; married 1947 AN Cole (divorced 1960), 1962 Bill Wedderburn (divorced 1968); died London 20 September 2012.

Tommy Jarvis is the male protagonist of the films Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Friday the 13th: A New Beginning and Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, and has been portrayed by Corey Feldman, John Shepherd and Thom Mathews. A resident of Crystal Lake with an affinity for masks, Tommy lived with his mother (until she was killed by Jason) and sister. Since he was the first person to truly defeat him, Jason developed a deep hatred of Tommy.
Killing in self-defenseEdit
Tommy Jarvis lived with his sister and mother. His parents were apparently divorced. In 1984, a few days after the bloodshed on Higgins Haven, the Jarvis family got caught in the middle of a new bloodshed, in which a new group of teenagers was killed one after another by Jason Voorhees. When the siblings (Tommy & Trish) were the only two left alive, Tommy shaved his head of hair to be similar with Jason as a child, and so lured the murderer into a trap. Trish managed to tear off Jason's hockey mask with his machete, which
made him turn away from Tommy to face her. While Trish was unable to do anything, Tommy picked up the machete and sent the killing blow on Voorhees. When the boy realized only a moment later that the monster was still alive, he attacked Jason with random machete blows. Later he was sent to a clinic.[1]
Six years later after the death of Jason Voorhees, Tommy, now an 18-year-old teenager, was sent to Pinehurst Youth Development Center, or "half-way house" (as locals called it) for teenagers with mental disabilities, in 1990. Pinehurst's mission was to try to train its residents to re-enter society. On the same day that Tommy was sent there, Joey, one of the residents, was killed by a fellow patient. Shortly after, a maniac started to kill people using Jason's M.O., which made Sheriff Tucker believe it was really Jason Voorhees. After Pam, Reggie, and Tommy were left as the sole survivors, there was a confrontation with whom was believed to be the real Jason Voorhees, and then, after Tommy killed the murderer, they found out he was actually Roy Burns, and that Joey was his son, whose murder was the reason for the new killing spree.[2]
Jason LivesEdit
- "Jason come on! Come and get me! It's me you want, remember?!"
- ―Tommy daring Jason to chase him into the lake.
Tommy, now a 19-year-old, was mentally rehabilitated for the most part, went with his friend Allen Hawes to Eternal Peace Cemetary to dig up Jason's corpse, as Tommy believed that only destroying the corpse would finally cause his hallucinations to cease haunting him once and for all. As he saw the corpse of the murderer who killed his mother and his friends, he was driven mad and, using a fence pole, stabbed the dead murderer, leaving the pole interred on him. In that exact moment when he was going to pick up gasoline to cremate his old nemesis, a lightning bolt was attracted by the pole. After striking the metal pole and absorbing into Jason's body, it caused Jason to resurrect, even more powerful than ever. Crystal Lake's mass murderer killed Hawes, and Tommy ran for his life. When he tried to warn Sheriff Garris, Tommy was imprisoned, for the Sheriff was aware of the fact that Tommy spent time at the clinic. As a new killing spree began, the only person who believed Tommy was the Sheriff's daughter Megan. After almost everyone was dead, Tommy set up a trap, and lured Jason to the very lake in which he drowned in 1957. Both monster and survivor fought, and Tommy finally tied Jason on the bottom of the lake, but he almost died in the process. As Megan went to rescue a drowned Tommy, to whom she was attracted, Jason tried to drown her, too, but Megan cut his face with the boat's propeller and saved Tommy.[3]
Sometime after chaining Jason to the bottom of Crystal Lake, Tommy would go on to write at least six books about his life and Jason, one of the books being titled My Life of Hell: One Man's Fight Against Jason Voorhees. Unfortunately, all the books were reviewed poorly, with Tommy being seen as little more than conscious-less cash-in.[4]
The Nightmare WarriorsEdit
Becoming increasingly obsessed with Jason, who would eventually escape his confinement at the bottom of the lake, also having studied Jason's various resurrections since then, Tommy acquired a military-style Hummer and a variety of weaponry, determined to finally stop him once and for all. Trying to track down Jason to finish him once and for all, Tommy, on July 2, 2009, arrived late to the scene of Jason's latest victim - a girl named Caroline who was beheaded in her Franklin, Michigan home. Witnessing Caroline's boyfriend Ash Williams fleeing the scene as the police arrived, Tommy followed him to Baltimore, Maryland under the belief that Jason would do the same. Tommy's assumption proved correct, with Jason attacking the home of Maggie Burroughs when Ash arrived. As Jason prepared to kill everyone in the house Tommy crashed through the wall and rammed Jason with his Hummer, ordering everyone present to get in. When everyone gets inside Tommy revealed his identity and sped away from the scene as Jason recovered.[5]
Taking his new companions to a nearby motel Tommy made the claim that only he can kill Jason and advised everyone to stay out of his way, prompting him and Ash to butt heads. After his argument with Ash was broken up, Tommy, unimpressed by Maggie's plan to use the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis to destroy Jason and Freddy Krueger, abandoned the group, telling everyone to leave Jason to him. In the end, Tommy decapitated Jason with the help of Jason's grand-niece, Stephanie Kimble.[5]

FilmStruck is a new streaming service that will also host nearly the entire Criterion Collection on its platform. If that doesn't make you want to rethink you Netflix subscription I don't know what will.
TCM and the Criterion Collection have launched FilmStruck, that will feature a library of contemporary and classic arthouse, indie, foreign, and cult films, as well as extensive bonus content, filmmaker interviews, and rare footage. For example, over the weekend I watched Truffaut's The Last Metro, Robert Altman's The Player, and Jim Jarmusch's Stranger Than Paradise. FilmStruck hosts nearly the entire Criterion Collection for as little as Ten dollars a month.
As I started to look at the collection of films offered I realized that none of these films will ever shown up on Netflix – at least not anytime soon.

This is my Corn Harvest(Wyatt 77). It's not the greatest picture..a little
fuzzy, but it sure looks different from Laurie's Corn Harvest.
Although mine was purchased last year as a named cultivar, I'm betting it is

It turned out that any of the stunted oranges that had grown on Allegra's tree had been bagged up by Morgan. The sharp smell of fruit brought Gabriel's senses back to earth quickly as Dawn worriedly steered him into their room. Morgan was sat on the kitchen side peeling an orange.
"Hi" she said Gabriel smiled slightly.
"Are you okay?" Dawn asked.
"Fine" she said "I was just wondering something."
"What?" Dawn asked watching as Gabriel sat down on the bed.
"Are either of you specialized in a certain type of fighting?" Gabriel just stared at her.
"yes?" Dawn said after a moment
"Fancy starting some lessons?" Morgan winced as her orange squirted juice in her face.
"I'm not a good teacher." Gabriel said.
"Bull" Dawn laughed "you taught me well enough."
"I don't remember that." Gabriel frowned at him.
"You taught Dawn the battleaxe?" Morgan asked her eyes wide.
"No" Dawn smiled stripping his jacket off. "He taught me the sword."
"You don't use a sword" Morgan frowned.
"I did" Gabriel said standing he took off his coat and Morgan saw the swords hanging at his waist.
"I didn't even register them." She said shaking her head.
"It was the first weapon I learnt" he said
"Cool" Morgan grinned "what about you, Dawn?"
"I'm not bad with a sword, but better at bare hand and the staff." Gabriel staggered forward as a memory of a black staff with silver caps at each end blinded him. the memory was brief but there was no mistaking the grey winged angel that held it. "Gabriel?" Dawn had seen the trip.
"Fine" the vampyre waved a dismissive hand.
"So how about it?" Morgan asked "we need to keep busy and stay fit while we're here." Gabriel sighed.
"You're probably right." He said reluctantly. "I should be in better shape at least.
"You are in good shape." Dawn grinned Morgan laughed.
"You said it yourself, Dawn, I'm too thin and I know it."
"So, hand fighting?" Morgan grinned. Morgan jumped down from the side abandoning her orange on the worktop.
Lewis, Raoul and Deacon stopped at the top of the staircase as they saw Gabriel and Morgan sparring, more Gabriel was blocking every hit Morgan threw. The vampyre dropped, kicking the girl's legs from under her. She landed on the pile of dust sheets that they had laid out over the wooden floor.
"Gabriel," Lewis smiled as the three descended the stairs. "I don't think you're a fair match for young Morgan."
"Possibly not." Gabriel smiled helping Morgan up. She bent down brushing the dust from her patchwork jeans.
"Morgan, come here." Lewis said "Dawn you go"
"Me?" Dawn asked Gabriel smiled wickedly.
"Come on, Dawn" he grinned Dawn shrugged and stood walking to the middle of the room.
"Can we demonstrate the basics, please?" Lewis called "Morgan watch their feet, surprisingly it's where your feet are that counts."
"Like fencing." Morgan nodded. She sat on the bottom step with Lewis beside her, Raoul and Deacon sat one step up.
"Hasn't Gabriel got an unfair advantage?" Deacon asked quietly, Lewis nodded.
"Gabriel try not to maim Dawn, please." Gabriel balled his fists covering the razor ends of his claws, Dawn smiled.
"Thanks" he said as both of them put their right foot slightly forward their feet spread.
"Ready?" Lewis called.

Guardian Teacher Network
What makes a great school leader? Author Jeremy Sutcliffe interviewed the UK's best headteachers to find out what makes an outstanding senior manager. Find out which skills teachers need to develop to put themselves in line for the top job. Sutcliffe identifies eight key qualities of successful school leaders, which he shares on the Guardian Teacher Network this week.
"The best headteachers run their schools through conviction and often personality," Sutcliffe writes. "Successful school leaders are team-builders. They understand the importance of relationships, empower their staff and pupils and show great empathy."
Also this week, Rebecca Ratcliffe finds out how teachers can learn from class exam results, asking how they can use the data to understand underperformance and improve teaching practice.
How often do we practise what we preach? We'll hear from Alan Gillespie, an English teacher who says others should share their own work with students. When he teaches creative writing, he hands out examples of his own work for his class to discuss.

Guardian Higher Education Network
Welcome. It's a loaded word at the start of a new academic term, especially after Vince Cable, the business secretary, blamed the sharp drop in the number of international students at UK universities on the fact that they do not feel welcome. His warning came during a Guardian fringe debate at the Liberal Democrat conference. Theresa May's immigration policies, while "reasonably sensible", said Cable, were "not perfect".
We have a live chat on international student recruitment this Friday (27 September), 12-2pm, so do join the debate if you can.
Visit the Higher Education Network on Tuesday to read our report direct from the Labour conference in Brighton, where Larry Elliott, the Guardian's economics editor, will question the shadow universities minister, Shabana Mahmood, and John Cridland of the CBI on the value of vocational versus higher education.
Also this week, UCL's estates director blogs for us after the university won the Carbuncle Cup for worst building of the year, awarded to its new hall of residence on the Caledonian Road in London.
"Criticism of the building does not reflect the reality of the world estates teams work in," writes Andrew Grainger. "In the race for space, we struggle to keep up with residential, office and retail developments, which crowd out student schemes to less desirable locations. Being located in central London requires us to be creative."

Freshers' week and fancy dress go together hand in paw, but it can be expensive to hire or buy costumes. We set ourselves the challenge of making fancy-dress outfits in less than five minutes and for less than £5, enlisting the help of arts students. If you have a fancy-dress outfit you're proud of, join our GuardianWitness project and show us the best of freshers' fancy dress.
Feeling homesick is also a natural part of freshers' week, but it can become isolating. How do you make yourself feel more at home and what should you do if you are very anxious? We share tips on how to combat the leaving-home blues.
Everyone tells you freshers' week is fun, but for many female students it is ruined by sleazy activities organised by some student unions, so this week we have a feminist guide to freshers' week to tackle the problem.
And finally, what was it like to be a university student in days of yore? A student blogger interviews a 69-year-old and a 99-year-old about their experiences and we take a peek at their university photos.

Only a Bad Dream
"Mariah!" She put the phone to her ear and called out to her. She soon discovered that Mariah's voice wasn't coming from the phone, but from a distance, like the ones she's been hearing. "Mariah, where are you?" she called in the wind.
"Someone help me!" Not Mariah.
"Who's there?" Nia asked. She knew she had heard Mariah.
She got up and began to run again, listening into her phone for a final time before taking off in a sprint back to her house.
Climbing quickly back into her room, she shut the window and rushed to her parents' room.
"Mom! Mom!" she shouted, shaking her.
Nia's father grunted as he rolled over, pulling the sheets over his face. Her mother sleepily rubbed her eyes.
"What, Nia? What's wrong?"
She didn't find it necessary to mention Mariah's disappearance. It would only upset her mother and send her into a panic. But there was something she did want to know.
"Shhh…listen." Nia put a finger to her mouth and listened to the screaming.
"Please! Help me! Please…"
"Listen to what, Nia?"
"Shhh…don't you hear that?" asked Nia.
"Hear what, Nia?"
Nia heard the voices, the screaming, the incessant praying, but her mother just continued to look puzzled and exhausted.
"I don't hear anything, Nia." Her mother looked thoroughly annoyed with her.
"They want help! They want me to get them out! How many are there? Where are they? They just keep screaming and screaming!"
"I think you had a nightmare, Nia. Please…go back to sleep and don't forget to lock your door behind you."
"Mom, I swear. Don't you hear it?"
"Hear what?"
"The voices. The voices!"
"What voices?"
Nia stared at her mom a second. Thinking the better of continuing she said, "Nothing, Mom. Never mind. You're right. I had…a nightmare. I'm going back to bed."
"Lock your door," her mother called behind her.
Nia nodded as she walked away. She shut her bedroom door behind her, locking it. She put a hand to her racing chest.
What's happening? Is this what happens before you're taken? But Mariah never mentioned any voices. Maybe she didn't want to scare me. Oh, it's my turn now.
Suddenly, the voices were ever so powerful that it made it difficult for her to breathe. She didn't understand why the voices were so focused on her. Why couldn't anyone hear them? She never heard this rumor from anyone. It was never spoken about in the news. Why could she hear the voices?
"Save me!"
"The Keeper of the Voices must save us!"
Nia furrowed her brow in confusion. Who's the Keeper of the Voices?That can't be me. It just can't be. Why would I be the Keeper of the Voices? Why? They didn't teach us about this in history. Nia fell to the floor, her back resting on her closed door.
"Save us, please!"
"How could it be me?" Nia asked aloud.
"Save me!"
Get a hold of yourself, Nia. They aren't going to answer you. They've been taken and now you're just hearing things. Just stay on your guard, because you're probably going to be next.
