A 56-year-old woman lost her life in a one-car accident Monday night when her car veered off a Washington street and struck an apartment building.
The woman, whom police declined to identify pending notification of her family, was prounounced dead at Washington Hospital shortly after 9 p.m.
Patrolman Dan Grossman, who is investigating the accident, said the woman may have suffered some type of medical emergency prior to veering off West Chestnut Street. He said tests would be performed at the hospital to help determine what caused her to crash.
The red, four-door compact car struck the building at 391 W. Chestnut across the street from Mm Mm Pizza.
James Retchless, of 397 W. Chestnut, saw the car careering down the hill at a high speed and then suddenly turn to the left and crash into the building next door.
He said it appeared that the woman's head struck the windshield when she crashed. However, when police were inspecting the vehicle after the woman had been extricated, its deployed airbag was visible.
Georgeanne Farkus, whose home is next door to the building that was struck, said this is the second time a vehicle has wrecked in her driveway. Farkus was returning home from a Washington Council meeting but had first made a quick stop at the Goodwill store, otherwise she said she could have been in her driveway at the time.
"The first thing I did was say a prayer for her," she said.

Ukrainian government officials visit Carnegie, learn about shale gas
Several Ukrainian leaders and public officials visiting the area were welcomed by clergy and members from St. Peter and St. Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Carnegie on June 24. The group of about 10 Ukrainian leaders included members of parliament and other public officials. They visited the South Hills area with Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, who had invited the group to come to the area to learn more about shale gas exploration.
"We were more than willing to host," said Carnegie Mayor Jack Kobistek about having the Ukrainian leaders visit the borough. "It does a lot for our community."
Kenneth LaSota, mayor of the borough of Heidelberg, was also on hand to greet the group, and said many Heidelberg residents go to church at St. Peter and St. Paul's, which is one of the largest Ukrainian Orthodox congregations in the area.
Father Steve Repa of St. Peter and St. Paul greeted the group in the church's sanctuary and spoke with them in their native language, welcoming them to the church. Repa said he told the group about the history of Ukrainians in America and how they came together to form their own churches.
Msgr. George Appleyard, pastor of Holy Trinity Ukrainian Catholic Church in Carnegie, and Timothy Thompson, pastor of St. Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Church in McKees Rocks, were also on hand to welcome the group.
Sergey Klyuiev, member of Ukrainian Parliament and head of Ukraine's Parliamentary Committee for Relations with the U.S., headed the group of visitors.
"We have a very big delegation," he said. He said the group came to the United States earlier this year for the same reason – to learn about shale gas exploration and learn about the technical and environmental side of shale gas.
Ukraine recently signed a $10 billion production agreement with Shell and has completed negotiations with Chevron on a second shale gas project. The country has been looking to reduce its dependence on foreign sources of energy and is looking at how it can utilize the gas that is underground.
"We're excited to have them here in the U.S.," Murphy said. He said while in the area, he wanted the group to ask every possible question about shale gas exploration. Murphy added that natural gas is three to four times more expensive in Ukraine than in the U.S. "They're blessed with their own shale and they want to do it right," Murphy said.
Murphy said Carnegie was chosen to host the reception for the group, "because of the churches and the Ukrainian population here."
After the initial welcome, the Ukrainian group was invited to the church's fellowship hall for a reception which featured traditional Ukrainian food and drink.
While in town, the group also visited a shale gas company in Southpointe to see how the development here is bringing jobs to the area.

Today's post about using mail merge to create a mass mailing is contributed by Kristin Beck, a writer and editor for Office.com.
Many of you want to know more about how to set up and run a mail merge. Mail merge streamlines the mass-mailing process by allowing you to send out a set of documents or messages to multiple contacts, and still customize some of the content.
Say you want to create and print a form letter or email message to send to some or all of your customers. Each document has the same kind of information, yet some of its content is unique. For example, you can personalize every letter or label to address each recipient by name. The unique information in each letter comes from entries in a data source, for example, your Outlook Contacts, an Excel list of contacts, or a combination of the two.
- For step-by-step guidance on doing a mail merge in Office 2010, download this clever PowerPoint deck: Mail merge made easy. The slides ask you where you keep your contact data and and how to use Word or Publisher to create the labels for your flyer.
- If you're using Word 2003, Demo: Use mail merge to format and print mailing labels shows you how to use mail merge to quickly format and print mailing labels. If you already have a file that contains your contacts' names and addresses, you can connect that file to your label main document.
- Watch this Office Casual video to learn three key ingredients to a successful mail merge.
- Don't know where to start, or how to structure your mail merge letter? Download this free mail merge template.

Before he came to Santa Fe, City of Santa Fe Finance Director David Millican spent 18 years as the finance director for the city of Fremont, Calif. Here are his thoughts on Santa Fe, the economy and related topics.
In Santa Fe, because it is a world-class tourism attraction, you end up with what's called an hourglass-shaped economy. You have a number of relatively wealthy people who are drawn here because of the sense of place and the amenities, and you have a lot of people working in the service industries who don't have high-paying jobs, and you don't have much of a middle. When your housing prices get high, that is made worse.
Whether this economy will let the mayor be successful with the 4,000-job objective is not clear to me, but it's an objective that has to be pursued.
The long-range strategies for really sustainable economic development are just to build good infrastructure—you know, transportation, water and sewer systems, parks—and then to concentrate on creating a really great place to live, work and invest. Those things will do as much for you as a lot of interesting economic development projects.
Santa Fe has a big head start on a lot of other places because of the nature of the people who are already here, the reputation of the city and its ability to endure over 400 years.
Seventy-five percent of the general fund is gross receipts tax. Things many people think of as traditional city services—police, fire, libraries and parks—that's GRT. We got our gross receipts numbers yesterday. For the first time in 40 years, my estimate of how much the gross receipts tax [revenue] would be for this month was exactly 0.0 percent different from the actual. I guess that means you get at least one hole-in-one in your life.
Santa Fe has always had real sensitivity to the fact that the families who have been here for a long time may have land but not much cash.
It's hard to get people to pay more taxes for the same old stuff. So to get more taxes, the city has to have a compelling story about what will be used with those taxes that will be really important to the people who vote. And it's the people who vote that it has to be important to, not the people who thought up the idea of raising the tax.
People want their big institutions to help them, but they don't trust their big institutions.
Poorer people are more likely to spend their income because they have more needs that can be satisfied through consumption, but wealthy people—if you give them more money, they may invest, they may buy stuff, they may travel overseas. They have many choices; they're much less linked directly to your local consumer economy.
I'm really not an economic development specialist.
I think we're going to see a recovery. I think it's going to be a slow recovery, but if it acts the way I've always seen it act, 10 years from now we'll see people creating other bubbles, and the boom we'll see starting out five years from now will surprise everybody and will create some great sense of euphoria—and then it'll collapse again.
From a pure Keynesian economics perspective, give money to people who need it most and are most likely to spend it. From a supply-side economic view, you make sure that there's plenty of money available and that it's cheap so that people will use it to invest. But that's not working.

Happy anniversary, Adams Pine Creek.
Fourteen years to the day it welcomed its first customer, Adams Pine Creek Buffet & Catering will begin again. The business will reopen at 3 p.m. Wednesday at its new location, 875 W. Chestnut St., Washington, site of a longtime Eat'n Park.
It should be as joyous an event for the operators – spouses Charlene and Chuck Adams and Chuck's brother, Wayne – as the day they started their culinary endeavor: May 8, 1999, at the former Lone Pine Elementary School.
"It must be an omen," said Charlene, the owner.
The family had hoped to reopen last week, but late delivery of some cooking equipment forced a delay. A temporary sign will go up Tuesday, and a permanent sign next week, Charlene said.
Wednesday, coincidentally, is near another anniversary – a dismal one. A little more than a year ago – April 28, 2012 – a fire destroyed the red barn in Amwell Township that had been home to Adams Pine Creek since July 2001.
The Adamses decided to rebuild in a different area and eventually purchased the property on West Chestnut, including a large parking lot, from Eat'n Park for $425,000. They considered two other Washington sites, the former USA Steakhouse and Club 40.
The new building is a little larger than the barn, with about 5,000 square feet of space, but cannot be a replica of its previous facility because of the layout and design. The interior has been renovated to adapt to more of a country motif.
A vital cooking conversion also had to be made. The Adamses use gas; Eat'n Park used electricity.
This is a much different venue than the rural one in Amwell, 8.5 miles to the south. It is in a city with all public utilities, and near a larger population and three major arteries: Route 19 and Interstates 79 and 70.
Adams Pine Creek's hours will be 3 to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. The restaurant will be closed Monday and Tuesday.

Healthy individuals are needed every day to maintain an adequate blood supply for patients in need.
The next Cambridge Community Blood Drive will be held Thursday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Cambridge Lutheran Church, 621 North Old Main Street.
"Donating blood is an easy way to help others and only takes about an hour of your time," said Konnie O'Neil, coordinator of the Cambridge Community Red Cross Blood Drive. "The Red Cross encourages donor to give blood each time they are eligible; every 56 days for whole blood donations and 112 days for double red cell donations."
Once a donor has made the commitment to give blood, it is important to take a few simple steps to prepare and to help ensure a good donation experience.
The Red Cross recommends:
• Getting a good night's sleep.
• Eating a good breakfast or lunch.
• Drinking extra water and fluids to help replace the volume you will donate.
• Avoid caffeinated beverages.
• Eating iron-rich foods to boost your iron level.

Carl was a brilliant man. He taught at the university for years and years and was frequently recognized by both students and colleagues for his excellent teaching and student rapport. He was a good father and husband on the home front, teaching our daughter and son life lessons that are still important to them. We loved to travel and to experience as much as we could pack into our days. Carl was quirky, too, and we loved him for that. That quirkiness led us off many a beaten path onto a better one less traveled and more explorable.
I've spent 18 years as an Alzheimer's caregiver and the last four as an activist. This certainly was not my plan. My 81-year-old dad began to show symptoms of dementia in 1994, the same year that former President Ronald Reagan published his now famous letter to the American people announcing his diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Three years later in 1997, at age 57, my husband Richard was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). MCI is a clinical diagnosis and an interesting term, but it is far from mild.
I am Italian and went through a nightmare that is now becoming a nightmare to so many families with young children at home. And this nightmare will certainly bankrupt them.
My husband came down with Alzheimer's at 48 years old. He was sick for 7 years (but he showed signs of this for at least 10 years prior ) and died at 54 years old in 2004. This April, it will be ten years since he's passed.

PennDOT District 11 announced that crack and joint sealing operations on Route 50 in Scott and Collier townships, Allegheny County will begin on April 30, weather permitting. Work will occur on Route 50 between Bridgeville and Carnegie boroughs. Short-term, slow-moving lane closures will occur in both directions at various locations from 8 p.m.-6 a.m. weeknights through May 6.
Crack and joint sealing is a preservation activity that prolongs the life of road surfaces by preventing moisture from entering cracks and joints.

Being a small press, NAEYC can move only so many projects through our publishing process at one time. Some accepted manuscripts we schedule for immediate editing/production, but most will be scheduled 12–18 months in advance. Once scheduled, a simple project might take just a few months to edit and put through production; more complex projects will take longer.
Each project is different, and once your individual project is scheduled we will give you a timetable for it specifically.
Below are the stages every manuscript goes through. How long each stage might last in your case will vary depending on the condition, length, and complexity of your manuscript; whether NAEYC's editors and production staff are juggling other projects at the same time; and how responsive you are to queries, revisions, and proofs sent to you.
Manuscript Development
As part of submitting your proposal, you will have written some significant portion, perhaps all, of the manuscript and sent it for review by NAEYC's editors and outside experts and peer reviewers. If your experience is typical, your proposal/manuscript may have gone through one or more cycles of review-revision-review before being accepted.
Manuscript Package
Finishing Your Manuscript
If you submitted a partial manuscript with your proposal, you will finish writing it now, incorporating any feedback we sent you. Review and follow the guidance in Style Guide.
If you submitted a complete manuscript with your proposal, we still would like you to follow the guidance in Style Guide, so please revisit your manuscript now and do any needed revising and/or reformatting.
Send a Complete Project Package
Follow the instructions in Sending Your Project Package. Incomplete packages result in delays until missing elements arrive.
Editorial Work
Once it arrives in NAEYC's Books Department, your manuscript is read closely to assess its readiness for production. We previously may have discussed with you ideas for enhancing the manuscript's usefulness and impact, and there will be further discussion now—about what needs to be done and whether you will undertake the needed work or we will, subject to your approval.
The manuscript is copyedited for format, factual accuracy, and writing style, including correct and consistent grammar and punctuation, clarity, active voice, and the like.
Review of Editorial Work
Author Review
How much and what kind of editorial work your manuscript requires will determine what kinds of edited material we ask you to review.
When we send you material to review:
A Word on Editing
As an advocacy organization, NAEYC takes positions on issues regarding the care and education of young children. Those positions are expressed explicitly in our public position statements and are expected to inform all of the Association's work, including the publications it publishes. Readers look to NAEYC for professional materials that reflect the best current knowledge in the early childhood field, and that support the principles and practices that NAEYC advocates—e.g., developmentally appropriate practice.
Further, they expect NAEYC's materials to be written in a clear and accessible writing style to meet the reading needs of a diverse audience that includes university faculty members, classroom teachers, college students, child care administrators and staff, and families. NAEYC thoroughly edits every manuscript it publishes to meet all these expectations.
Actual publication of an accepted project is always conditional on a final, edited manuscript that NAEYC judges to be complete and acceptable in form and in content.
- Form: Edits for correctness, accuracy, consistency, style, and format are our prerogative as publisher. But we're glad to discuss our rationale if you see something in this regard that you find problematic.
- Content: Substantive changes to content call for more collaboration with you. But we always edit with a purpose. If you disagree with an editorial change, work with us to find a better one. Together we're sure to come up with a solution we're all satisfied with.
Page Layout
While you and NAEYC's editors are working on the text, NAEYC's production staff are working on cover and interior design. Once editorial work is complete, the manuscript goes to page layout, to be formatted in the design NAEYC has developed. At this stage, any artwork, figures, tables, or other visual elements are incorporated into the layout.
Page Proofs
Page proofs are generated, and we check them carefully for problems or errors. We may also send you a set of page proofs to scrutinize. Typically, this is the last stage that might require your time and attention.
Page Corrections
We incorporate all corrections into the final layout.
The completed project is sent to the printer. About midway, we receive and check a final printer's proof.
When the publication is delivered from the printer, we send you your complimentary copies and begin shipping to waiting readers.

The world has a beginning in time, and is also limited in regard to
Granted that the world has no beginning in time; up to every given
moment of time, an eternity must have elapsed, and therewith passed away
an infinite series of successive conditions or states of things in the
world. Now the infinity of a series consists in the fact that it never
can be completed by means of a successive synthesis. It follows that an
infinite series already elapsed is impossible and that, consequently,
a beginning of the world is a necessary condition of its existence. And
this was the first thing to be proved.
As regards the second, let us take the opposite for granted. In this
case, the world must be an infinite given total of coexistent things.
Now we cannot cogitate the dimensions of a quantity, which is not given
within certain limits of an intuition,* in any other way than by means
of the synthesis of its parts, and the total of such a quantity only
by means of a completed synthesis, or the repeated addition of unity to
itself. Accordingly, to cogitate the world, which fills all spaces, as
a whole, the successive synthesis of the parts of an infinite world must
be looked upon as completed, that is to say, an infinite time must be
regarded as having elapsed in the enumeration of all co-existing things;
which is impossible. For this reason an infinite aggregate of actual
things cannot be considered as a given whole, consequently, not as a
contemporaneously given whole. The world is consequently, as regards
extension in space, not infinite, but enclosed in limits. And this was
the second thing to be proved.
The world has no beginning, and no limits in space, but is, in relation
both to time and space, infinite.
For let it be granted that it has a beginning. A beginning is an
existence which is preceded by a time in which the thing does not exist.
On the above supposition, it follows that there must have been a time in
which the world did not exist, that is, a void time. But in a void time
the origination of a thing is impossible; because no part of any such
time contains a distinctive condition of being, in preference to that of
non-being (whether the supposed thing originate of itself, or by means
of some other cause). Consequently, many series of things may have a
beginning in the world, but the world itself cannot have a beginning,
and is, therefore, in relation to past time, infinite.
As regards the second statement, let us first take the opposite for
granted--that the world is finite and limited in space; it follows that
it must exist in a void space, which is not limited. We should therefore
meet not only with a relation of things in space, but also a relation
of things to space. Now, as the world is an absolute whole, out of and
beyond which no object of intuition, and consequently no correlate to
which can be discovered, this relation of the world to a void space is
merely a relation to no object. But such a relation, and consequently
the limitation of the world by void space, is nothing. Consequently,
the world, as regards space, is not limited, that is, it is infinite in
regard to extension.
In bringing forward these conflicting arguments, I have not been on
the search for sophisms, for the purpose of availing myself of special
pleading, which takes advantage of the carelessness of the opposite
party, appeals to a misunderstood statute, and erects its unrighteous
claims upon an unfair interpretation. Both proofs originate fairly from
the nature of the case, and the advantage presented by the mistakes of
the dogmatists of both parties has been completely set aside.
The thesis might also have been unfairly demonstrated, by the
introduction of an erroneous conception of the infinity of a given
quantity. A quantity is infinite, if a greater than itself cannot
possibly exist. The quantity is measured by the number of given
units--which are taken as a standard--contained in it. Now no number can
be the greatest, because one or more units can always be added. It follows
that an infinite given quantity, consequently an infinite world (both as
regards time and extension) is impossible. It is, therefore, limited in
both respects. In this manner I might have conducted my proof; but the
conception given in it does not agree with the true conception of an
infinite whole. In this there is no representation of its quantity,
it is not said how large it is; consequently its conception is not the
conception of a maximum. We cogitate in it merely its relation to an
arbitrarily assumed unit, in relation to which it is greater than any
number. Now, just as the unit which is taken is greater or smaller, the
infinite will be greater or smaller; but the infinity, which consists
merely in the relation to this given unit, must remain always the same,
although the absolute quantity of the whole is not thereby cognized.
The true (transcendental) conception of infinity is: that the successive
synthesis of unity in the measurement of a given quantum can never be
completed.* Hence it follows, without possibility of mistake, that an
eternity of actual successive states up to a given (the present) moment
cannot have elapsed, and that the world must therefore have a beginning.
In regard to the second part of the thesis, the difficulty as to an
infinite and yet elapsed series disappears; for the manifold of a world
infinite in extension is contemporaneously given. But, in order to
cogitate the total of this manifold, as we cannot have the aid of limits
constituting by themselves this total in intuition, we are obliged to
give some account of our conception, which in this case cannot proceed
from the whole to the determined quantity of the parts, but must
demonstrate the possibility of a whole by means of a successive
synthesis of the parts. But as this synthesis must constitute a series
that cannot be completed, it is impossible for us to cogitate prior to
it, and consequently not by means of it, a totality. For the conception
of totality itself is in the present case the representation of a
completed synthesis of the parts; and this completion, and consequently
its conception, is impossible.
The proof in favour of the infinity of the cosmical succession and the
cosmical content is based upon the consideration that, in the opposite
case, a void time and a void space must constitute the limits of the
world. Now I am not unaware, that there are some ways of escaping this
conclusion. It may, for example, be alleged, that a limit to the world,
as regards both space and time, is quite possible, without at the same
time holding the existence of an absolute time before the beginning of
the world, or an absolute space extending beyond the actual world--which
is impossible. I am quite well satisfied with the latter part of this
opinion of the philosophers of the Leibnitzian school. Space is merely
the form of external intuition, but not a real object which can itself
be externally intuited; it is not a correlate of phenomena, it is
the form of phenomena itself. Space, therefore, cannot be regarded as
absolutely and in itself something determinative of the existence
of things, because it is not itself an object, but only the form of
possible objects. Consequently, things, as phenomena, determine space;
that is to say, they render it possible that, of all the possible
predicates of space (size and relation), certain may belong to
reality. But we cannot affirm the converse, that space, as something
self-subsistent, can determine real things in regard to size or shape,
for it is in itself not a real thing. Space (filled or void)* may
therefore be limited by phenomena, but phenomena cannot be limited by
an empty space without them. This is true of time also. All this being
granted, it is nevertheless indisputable, that we must assume these two
nonentities, void space without and void time before the world, if we
assume the existence of cosmical limits, relatively to space or time.
For, as regards the subterfuge adopted by those who endeavour to evade
the consequence--that, if the world is limited as to space and time, the
infinite void must determine the existence of actual things in regard
to their dimensions--it arises solely from the fact that instead of a
sensuous world, an intelligible world--of which nothing is known--is
cogitated; instead of a real beginning (an existence, which is preceded
by a period in which nothing exists), an existence which presupposes no
other condition than that of time; and, instead of limits of extension,
boundaries of the universe. But the question relates to the mundus
phaenomenon, and its quantity; and in this case we cannot make
abstraction of the conditions of sensibility, without doing away with
the essential reality of this world itself. The world of sense, if it is
limited, must necessarily lie in the infinite void. If this, and with it
space as the a priori condition of the possibility of phenomena, is left
out of view, the whole world of sense disappears. In our problem is this
alone considered as given. The mundus intelligibilis is nothing but the
general conception of a world, in which abstraction has been made of
all conditions of intuition, and in relation to which no synthetical
proposition--either affirmative or negative--is possible.
Every composite substance in the world consists of simple parts; and
there exists nothing that is not either itself simple, or composed of
simple parts.
For, grant that composite substances do not consist of simple parts;
in this case, if all combination or composition were annihilated in
thought, no composite part, and (as, by the supposition, there do
not exist simple parts) no simple part would exist. Consequently,
no substance; consequently, nothing would exist. Either, then, it
is impossible to annihilate composition in thought; or, after such
annihilation, there must remain something that subsists without
composition, that is, something that is simple. But in the former case
the composite could not itself consist of substances, because with
substances composition is merely a contingent relation, apart from
which they must still exist as self-subsistent beings. Now, as this case
contradicts the supposition, the second must contain the truth--that the
substantial composite in the world consists of simple parts.
It follows, as an immediate inference, that the things in the world are
all, without exception, simple beings--that composition is merely an
external condition pertaining to them--and that, although we never
can separate and isolate the elementary substances from the state of
composition, reason must cogitate these as the primary subjects of
all composition, and consequently, as prior thereto--and as simple
No composite thing in the world consists of simple parts; and there does
not exist in the world any simple substance.
Let it be supposed that a composite thing (as substance) consists
of simple parts. Inasmuch as all external relation, consequently
all composition of substances, is possible only in space; the space,
occupied by that which is composite, must consist of the same number of
parts as is contained in the composite. But space does not consist of
simple parts, but of spaces. Therefore, every part of the composite must
occupy a space. But the absolutely primary parts of what is composite
are simple. It follows that what is simple occupies a space. Now, as
everything real that occupies a space, contains a manifold the parts of
which are external to each other, and is consequently composite--and
a real composite, not of accidents (for these cannot exist external to
each other apart from substance), but of substances--it follows that the
simple must be a substantial composite, which is self-contradictory.
The second proposition of the antithesis--that there exists in the
world nothing that is simple--is here equivalent to the following:
The existence of the absolutely simple cannot be demonstrated from any
experience or perception either external or internal; and the absolutely
simple is a mere idea, the objective reality of which cannot be
demonstrated in any possible experience; it is consequently, in the
exposition of phenomena, without application and object. For, let us
take for granted that an object may be found in experience for this
transcendental idea; the empirical intuition of such an object must then
be recognized to contain absolutely no manifold with its parts external
to each other, and connected into unity. Now, as we cannot reason from
the non-consciousness of such a manifold to the impossibility of its
existence in the intuition of an object, and as the proof of this
impossibility is necessary for the establishment and proof of absolute
simplicity; it follows that this simplicity cannot be inferred from any
perception whatever. As, therefore, an absolutely simple object cannot
be given in any experience, and the world of sense must be considered as
the sum total of all possible experiences: nothing simple exists in the
This second proposition in the antithesis has a more extended aim than
the first. The first merely banishes the simple from the intuition of
the composite; while the second drives it entirely out of nature. Hence
we were unable to demonstrate it from the conception of a given object
of external intuition (of the composite), but we were obliged to prove
it from the relation of a given object to a possible experience in
When I speak of a whole, which necessarily consists of simple parts, I
understand thereby only a substantial whole, as the true composite; that
is to say, I understand that contingent unity of the manifold which is
given as perfectly isolated (at least in thought), placed in reciprocal
connection, and thus constituted a unity. Space ought not to be called a
compositum but a totum, for its parts are possible in the whole, and not
the whole by means of the parts. It might perhaps be called a compositum
ideale, but not a compositum reale. But this is of no importance. As
space is not a composite of substances (and not even of real accidents),
if I abstract all composition therein--nothing, not even a
point, remains; for a point is possible only as the limit of a
space--consequently of a composite. Space and time, therefore, do not
consist of simple parts. That which belongs only to the condition or
state of a substance, even although it possesses a quantity (motion or
change, for example), likewise does not consist of simple parts. That is
to say, a certain degree of change does not originate from the addition
of many simple changes. Our inference of the simple from the composite
is valid only of self-subsisting things. But the accidents of a state
are not self-subsistent. The proof, then, for the necessity of the
simple, as the component part of all that is substantial and composite,
may prove a failure, and the whole case of this thesis be lost, if we
carry the proposition too far, and wish to make it valid of everything
that is composite without distinction--as indeed has really now and then
happened. Besides, I am here speaking only of the simple, in so far as
it is necessarily given in the composite--the latter being capable
of solution into the former as its component parts. The proper
signification of the word monas (as employed by Leibnitz) ought to
relate to the simple, given immediately as simple substance (for
example, in consciousness), and not as an element of the composite. As
an clement, the term atomus would be more appropriate. And as I wish to
prove the existence of simple substances, only in relation to, and
as the elements of, the composite, I might term the antithesis of the
second Antinomy, transcendental Atomistic. But as this word has long
been employed to designate a particular theory of corporeal phenomena
(moleculae), and thus presupposes a basis of empirical conceptions, I
prefer calling it the dialectical principle of Monadology.
Against the assertion of the infinite subdivisibility of matter whose
ground of proof is purely mathematical, objections have been alleged by
the Monadists. These objections lay themselves open, at first sight,
to suspicion, from the fact that they do not recognize the clearest
mathematical proofs as propositions relating to the constitution of
space, in so far as it is really the formal condition of the possibility
of all matter, but regard them merely as inferences from abstract but
arbitrary conceptions, which cannot have any application to real things.
Just as if it were possible to imagine another mode of intuition than
that given in the primitive intuition of space; and just as if its a
priori determinations did not apply to everything, the existence of
which is possible, from the fact alone of its filling space. If we
listen to them, we shall find ourselves required to cogitate, in
addition to the mathematical point, which is simple--not, however,
a part, but a mere limit of space--physical points, which are indeed
likewise simple, but possess the peculiar property, as parts of space,
of filling it merely by their aggregation. I shall not repeat here the
common and clear refutations of this absurdity, which are to be
found everywhere in numbers: every one knows that it is impossible to
undermine the evidence of mathematics by mere discursive conceptions; I
shall only remark that, if in this case philosophy endeavours to gain
an advantage over mathematics by sophistical artifices, it is because
it forgets that the discussion relates solely to Phenomena and their
conditions. It is not sufficient to find the conception of the simple
for the pure conception of the composite, but we must discover for the
intuition of the composite (matter), the intuition of the simple. Now
this, according to the laws of sensibility, and consequently in the
case of objects of sense, is utterly impossible. In the case of a
whole composed of substances, which is cogitated solely by the pure
understanding, it may be necessary to be in possession of the simple
before composition is possible. But this does not hold good of the Totum
substantiale phaenomenon, which, as an empirical intuition in space,
possesses the necessary property of containing no simple part, for the
very reason that no part of space is simple. Meanwhile, the Monadists
have been subtle enough to escape from this difficulty, by presupposing
intuition and the dynamical relation of substances as the condition of
the possibility of space, instead of regarding space as the condition
of the possibility of the objects of external intuition, that is, of
bodies. Now we have a conception of bodies only as phenomena, and, as
such, they necessarily presuppose space as the condition of all external
phenomena. The evasion is therefore in vain; as, indeed, we have
sufficiently shown in our Aesthetic. If bodies were things in
themselves, the proof of the Monadists would be unexceptionable.
The second dialectical assertion possesses the peculiarity of
having opposed to it a dogmatical proposition, which, among all such
sophistical statements, is the only one that undertakes to prove in the
case of an object of experience, that which is properly a transcendental
idea--the absolute simplicity of substance. The proposition is that the
object of the internal sense, the thinking Ego, is an absolute simple
substance. Without at present entering upon this subject--as it has been
considered at length in a former chapter--I shall merely remark that, if
something is cogitated merely as an object, without the addition of any
synthetical determination of its intuition--as happens in the case
of the bare representation, I--it is certain that no manifold and no
composition can be perceived in such a representation. As, moreover, the
predicates whereby I cogitate this object are merely intuitions of the
internal sense, there cannot be discovered in them anything to prove
the existence of a manifold whose parts are external to each other,
and, consequently, nothing to prove the existence of real composition.
Consciousness, therefore, is so constituted that, inasmuch as the
thinking subject is at the same time its own object, it cannot divide
itself--although it can divide its inhering determinations. For every
object in relation to itself is absolute unity. Nevertheless, if the
subject is regarded externally, as an object of intuition, it must, in
its character of phenomenon, possess the property of composition. And it
must always be regarded in this manner, if we wish to know whether there
is or is not contained in it a manifold whose parts are external to each
Causality according to the laws of nature, is not the only causality
operating to originate the phenomena of the world. A causality of
freedom is also necessary to account fully for these phenomena.
Let it be supposed, that there is no other kind of causality than that
according to the laws of nature. Consequently, everything that happens
presupposes a previous condition, which it follows with absolute
certainty, in conformity with a rule. But this previous condition must
itself be something that has happened (that has arisen in time, as it
did not exist before), for, if it has always been in existence, its
consequence or effect would not thus originate for the first time,
but would likewise have always existed. The causality, therefore, of a
cause, whereby something happens, is itself a thing that has happened.
Now this again presupposes, in conformity with the law of nature, a
previous condition and its causality, and this another anterior to the
former, and so on. If, then, everything happens solely in accordance
with the laws of nature, there cannot be any real first beginning of
things, but only a subaltern or comparative beginning. There cannot,
therefore, be a completeness of series on the side of the causes which
originate the one from the other. But the law of nature is that
nothing can happen without a sufficient a priori determined cause. The
proposition therefore--if all causality is possible only in accordance
with the laws of nature--is, when stated in this unlimited and general
manner, self-contradictory. It follows that this cannot be the only kind
of causality.
From what has been said, it follows that a causality must be admitted,
by means of which something happens, without its cause being determined
according to necessary laws by some other cause preceding. That is to
say, there must exist an absolute spontaneity of cause, which of itself
originates a series of phenomena which proceeds according to natural
laws--consequently transcendental freedom, without which even in the
course of nature the succession of phenomena on the side of causes is
never complete.
There is no such thing as freedom, but everything in the world happens
solely according to the laws of nature.
Granted, that there does exist freedom in the transcendental sense, as a
peculiar kind of causality, operating to produce events in the world--a
faculty, that is to say, of originating a state, and consequently a
series of consequences from that state. In this case, not only the
series originated by this spontaneity, but the determination of this
spontaneity itself to the production of the series, that is to say, the
causality itself must have an absolute commencement, such that nothing
can precede to determine this action according to unvarying laws. But
every beginning of action presupposes in the acting cause a state of
inaction; and a dynamically primal beginning of action presupposes a
state, which has no connection--as regards causality--with the preceding
state of the cause--which does not, that is, in any wise result from it.
Transcendental freedom is therefore opposed to the natural law of cause
and effect, and such a conjunction of successive states in effective
causes is destructive of the possibility of unity in experience and
for that reason not to be found in experience--is consequently a mere
fiction of thought.
We have, therefore, nothing but nature to which we must look for
connection and order in cosmical events. Freedom--independence of the
laws of nature--is certainly a deliverance from restraint, but it is
also a relinquishing of the guidance of law and rule. For it cannot
be alleged that, instead of the laws of nature, laws of freedom may be
introduced into the causality of the course of nature. For, if freedom
were determined according to laws, it would be no longer freedom,
but merely nature. Nature, therefore, and transcendental freedom are
distinguishable as conformity to law and lawlessness. The former imposes
upon understanding the difficulty of seeking the origin of events ever
higher and higher in the series of causes, inasmuch as causality is
always conditioned thereby; while it compensates this labour by the
guarantee of a unity complete and in conformity with law. The latter, on
the contrary, holds out to the understanding the promise of a point
of rest in the chain of causes, by conducting it to an unconditioned
causality, which professes to have the power of spontaneous origination,
but which, in its own utter blindness, deprives it of the guidance of
rules, by which alone a completely connected experience is possible.
The transcendental idea of freedom is far from constituting the entire
content of the psychological conception so termed, which is for the most
part empirical. It merely presents us with the conception of spontaneity
of action, as the proper ground for imputing freedom to the cause of a
certain class of objects. It is, however, the true stumbling-stone to
philosophy, which meets with unconquerable difficulties in the way of
its admitting this kind of unconditioned causality. That element in the
question of the freedom of the will, which has for so long a time placed
speculative reason in such perplexity, is properly only transcendental,
and concerns the question, whether there must be held to exist a faculty
of spontaneous origination of a series of successive things or states.
How such a faculty is possible is not a necessary inquiry; for in the
case of natural causality itself, we are obliged to content ourselves
with the a priori knowledge that such a causality must be presupposed,
although we are quite incapable of comprehending how the being of
one thing is possible through the being of another, but must for this
information look entirely to experience. Now we have demonstrated this
necessity of a free first beginning of a series of phenomena, only in so
far as it is required for the comprehension of an origin of the world,
all following states being regarded as a succession according to laws
of nature alone. But, as there has thus been proved the existence of a
faculty which can of itself originate a series in time--although we
are unable to explain how it can exist--we feel ourselves authorized to
admit, even in the midst of the natural course of events, a beginning,
as regards causality, of different successions of phenomena, and at the
same time to attribute to all substances a faculty of free action.
But we ought in this case not to allow ourselves to fall into a common
misunderstanding, and to suppose that, because a successive series in
the world can only have a comparatively first beginning--another state
or condition of things always preceding--an absolutely first beginning
of a series in the course of nature is impossible. For we are not
speaking here of an absolutely first beginning in relation to time, but
as regards causality alone. When, for example, I, completely of my own
free will, and independently of the necessarily determinative influence
of natural causes, rise from my chair, there commences with this event,
including its material consequences in infinitum, an absolutely
new series; although, in relation to time, this event is merely the
continuation of a preceding series. For this resolution and act of mine
do not form part of the succession of effects in nature, and are not
mere continuations of it; on the contrary, the determining causes of
nature cease to operate in reference to this event, which certainly
succeeds the acts of nature, but does not proceed from them. For
these reasons, the action of a free agent must be termed, in regard to
causality, if not in relation to time, an absolutely primal beginning of
a series of phenomena.
The justification of this need of reason to rest upon a free act as
the first beginning of the series of natural causes is evident from
the fact, that all philosophers of antiquity (with the exception of the
Epicurean school) felt themselves obliged, when constructing a theory of
the motions of the universe, to accept a prime mover, that is, a freely
acting cause, which spontaneously and prior to all other causes evolved
this series of states. They always felt the need of going beyond mere
nature, for the purpose of making a first beginning comprehensible.
The assertor of the all-sufficiency of nature in regard to causality
(transcendental Physiocracy), in opposition to the doctrine of freedom,
would defend his view of the question somewhat in the following manner.
He would say, in answer to the sophistical arguments of the opposite
party: If you do not accept a mathematical first, in relation to time,
you have no need to seek a dynamical first, in regard to causality. Who
compelled you to imagine an absolutely primal condition of the world,
and therewith an absolute beginning of the gradually progressing
successions of phenomena--and, as some foundation for this fancy of
yours, to set bounds to unlimited nature? Inasmuch as the substances in
the world have always existed--at least the unity of experience renders
such a supposition quite necessary--there is no difficulty in believing
also, that the changes in the conditions of these substances have always
existed; and, consequently, that a first beginning, mathematical or
dynamical, is by no means required. The possibility of such an infinite
derivation, without any initial member from which all the others result,
is certainly quite incomprehensible. But, if you are rash enough to
deny the enigmatical secrets of nature for this reason, you will find
yourselves obliged to deny also the existence of many fundamental
properties of natural objects (such as fundamental forces), which you
can just as little comprehend; and even the possibility of so simple
a conception as that of change must present to you insuperable
difficulties. For if experience did not teach you that it was real, you
never could conceive a priori the possibility of this ceaseless sequence
of being and non-being.
But if the existence of a transcendental faculty of freedom is
granted--a faculty of originating changes in the world--this faculty
must at least exist out of and apart from the world; although it is
certainly a bold assumption, that, over and above the complete content
of all possible intuitions, there still exists an object which cannot be
presented in any possible perception. But, to attribute to substances
in the world itself such a faculty, is quite inadmissible; for, in
this case; the connection of phenomena reciprocally determining and
determined according to general laws, which is termed nature, and along
with it the criteria of empirical truth, which enable us to distinguish
experience from mere visionary dreaming, would almost entirely
disappear. In proximity with such a lawless faculty of freedom, a system
of nature is hardly cogitable; for the laws of the latter would be
continually subject to the intrusive influences of the former, and
the course of phenomena, which would otherwise proceed regularly and
uniformly, would become thereby confused and disconnected.

Char Valley edges USC in WPIAL girls' playoffs
By definition, playoff means one thing among combatants. One team wins. One team loses. Regardless of the effort, the winner advances and the loser sadly may end its season.
Such was the case when Chartiers Valley edged Upper St. Clair, 55-52, in a WPIAL Quad-A quarterfinal contest played at Canon-McMillan.
"They battled," said USC floor boss Ernie Koontz.
After the loss he told his girls how much he cared about them. "I told them I loved them. They did a tremendous job. They've come a long way since we started back in December."
While USC (12-11) must wait and see how the WPIAL finals play out to see if their season continues, the Lady Colts made sure they qualified for the PIAA tournament by winning. Five teams qualify from the WPIAL for the state playoffs at the Quad-A level.
CV clinched his spot in the semifinals, in part to a strong showing in the second half, particularly in the third quarter. That was when the Colts opened up one of its biggest leads, 45-33. CV and USC were tied, 11-11, after the first frame and 24-24 at intermission.
"There was no big half-time speech," explained CV head coach Spencer Stefko. "It was just players making plays. It was a bunch of seniors not wanting to play their last game and a bunch of younger kids making sure that that didn't happen."
Sophomore Alexa Golden scored all 12 of her points in the second half. Senior Kassidy O'Keefe fired in eight of her 11 points in the third stanza while junior Jenna Devinney supplied a big 3-pointer in the third period that made the score 45-33 and a pair of free throws with 10.3 seconds to play that afforded CV a 54-49 lead.
Senior Mariah Wells led the Colts with 16 points, 14 of which occurred in the first half.
In addition to providing solid defense, Kristina Coyne pitched in with eight markers. Her free throw with .8 to play sewed up the victory.
Jordan Serio led all scorers. The USC point guard pumped in 20 points. Her 3-point play with under 50 seconds to play and her 3-point field goal with three seconds remaining pulled the Panthers within two points on each occasion.
Elayna Kaylor followed Serio with 18 points. She buried three shots from beyond the arc. Madison Serio accounted for two more treys by the Panthers, who finished with seven, 3-pointers. Back from a shoulder injury, Constance Raftis finished with six points.
CV, which improved to 18-6, will play top-seeded Mt. Lebanon (22-2) in the semifinals set for Tuesday, Feb. 26 at a site and time to be determined. It will be the third meeting between the two clubs. Lebo won both confrontations, 48-45, and 49-40.
Lebo defeated Fox Chapel, 45-42, in its quarterfinal match. Alex Ventrone (14), Christine Ehland (13) and Margie McCaffrey (11) all finished in double digits for the Blue Devils.
"We've been so focused on USC," said Stefko. "So we want to enjoy this one. But obviously, they have beaten us twice and we've got to figure out how to beat them. They are a well-coached team that plays defense very well."
So does Bethel Park and the Lady Hawks used that asset to beat Penn-Trafford, 43-34, and advance to the other Quad-A semifinal, a match-up against Gateway, which toppled the No. 3 seed, North Allegheny, 50-43, in its quarterfinal fray.
Megan Marecic fired in 22 points while Samantha Simpson followed with 10 tallies for the Lady Hawks, who are 21-3 overall.

XO Cognacs - Napoléon
A Napoleon, or X.O (for Extra Old ), also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
A Cognac may be sold only when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age. Once transferred into glass, Cognac stops maturing. It stands still.
However, most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.
XO is perhaps one of the vaguest classifications regarding quality, and should't be taken at face value without further search. Some of the XOs you can find in our site are certainly under-priced, while some others, which, of course, you will NOT find here at Le Cognac, may be quite mediocre . In fact, selecting Cognacs with a reasonably quality/price ratios is one of our raisons d'être.
On the other hand, regarding Cognac, beyond a certain level of quality one enters into the realm of subjectivity. And then, of course, there is always a premium in rarity. When a product is scarce, if demand remains strong, it is only natural that prices go up. This is exactly what we have been seeing with high-end Cognac prices in the last few years because of the huge Chinese demand.
As a rule, we would say that the XOs present at Le Cognac are all good value in general market terms. Some of them are indeed very good value.

Mustang Brakes 1964-2017
The brakes in your Mustang are some of the most important parts in the car, yet often the most neglected. Many owners focus only on increasing performance and don't worry about the condition of the Mustang Brakes that are going to stop their car. No matter what year Mustang you have, CJ Pony Parts has the braking components that you need, whether you're upgrading the performance or replacing components that have worn from age and use.

BrakesDepending on what year Mustang you have and how it has been treated, your Mustang brakes might be in several different conditions. Some classic Mustangs are very old, not well maintained or have not been used in many years, resulting in Mustang Brakes that aren't even functional. These owners are likely looking for parts that can bring their Mustang brakes back to working condition, or will upgrade them for increased performance over stock, like many classic owners do by adding power assist to their braking systems.
One very popular upgrade for classic Mustang brakes is brake conversion. Classic Mustangs, like the 1964.5, 1965, and 1966 Mustang came from the factory with manual brakes, with no power option available, and drum brakes all around. For ease of driving, many owners will upgrade to power Mustang brakes and, in the process, make the conversion to disc brakes for more stopping power and better reliability. CJ Pony Parts sells many kits for classic Mustangs to allow owners to find everything they need to convert their Mustang brakes, all in one convenient package.
Another popular conversion involving Mustang brakes involves 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993 Mustangs, which originally came from the factory with 4-lug front and rear axles. Many owners take on this conversion to get better Mustang brakes, since the original brakes aren't known to be the best. There are also many more wheel options available for 5-lug Mustangs, which is an additional benefit beyond the better Mustang brakes. CJ Pony Parts sells many Mustang brakes for 5-lug conversions, making these conversions easy!
Other owners, from nearly every year range of Mustang, have to occasionally do work on their Mustang brakes, since Mustang brakes typically wear with regular use and need replaced. To help these owners, CJ Pony Parts has all of the Mustang Brake Pads, Mustang Brake Rotors and brake calipers for replacing worn Mustang brakes and to make those Mustangs much more able to stop and, as a result, much safer. These owners may also desire to replace the worn parts on their Mustang brakes with performance or styled brake parts, which can turn it into a big upgrade to both the looks and stopping distance.
Other owners of new and performance Mustangs are frequently looking for more styling and better performance from their Mustang brakes. While their original parts are usually perfectly fine, these upgrades to their Mustang brakes can enhance both the look of the brakes and shorten the stopping distance. These upgrades can also be for safety, as their Mustang Engine is just too powerful for the stock brakes. Typically, these Mustang brakes include slotted rotors, like those from Power Slot, and custom styled caliper covers, like the ones from MGP Caliper Covers. For showing a Mustang at a car show, or racing on the drag strip, these new Mustang brakes can make a huge difference.

Beastman is one of my fave vintage figures. I think the bright colours is what's so cool about him and his face which just looks really beast-like and evil. I didn't get a Beastman figure until the end of the line (maybe 1987/1988) I remember Beastman and some of the main characters were re-stocked when the movie came out. I think the accesories which came with Beastman were great, I really liked the shoulder pads and the whip.
I also like the 4HM figure to, but I would have liked the classic colours one to be the main one used. I did like his portayal in the MYP cartoon more than the filmation one, who was just annoying and dont get me started on the boots!
I hope the 4HM release a staction of Beastman in classic colours of course and in the correct size.
Figure Rating - 9/10

Tomorrow, it's the big five-oh for me.
Hey, I could complain about getting old, but so can a lot of other folks. Let's take a look at some of the more prominent people who were born in 1962, and you can tell me if you think they qualify as ancient.
Perhaps you've seen Tom Cruise in a preview for "Jack Reacher," which was filmed in Pittsburgh and makes its premiere Saturday at SouthSide Works Cinema. The movie's trailer was released in July, on his 50th birthday. He doesn't quite look like his "Risky Business" days, but he's not about to keel over, either.
Speaking of 50th birthdays, Demi Moore celebrated hers last month. The Roswell, N.M., native has been going through a lot, judging by the covers of those tabloids I can't help reading while standing in line at the supermarket. But no matter what trouble she's getting into these days, she still takes an impressive photograph.
A bunch of famous musicians turned 50 this year, meaning they're still just kids compared with the likes of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, who started the Rolling Stones the year these stars were born: Jon Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow and Paula Abdul; Tommy Lee of Motley Crue; Kirk Hammett of Metallica; Anthony Kiedis and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers; and Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin of Guns N' Roses.
Some guys who make us laugh reached the half-century mark, including Jim Carrey, Jon Stewart, Craig Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Bobcat Goldthwait, Mike Judge, Bob Odenkirk and Steve Carell, who actually was 42 when he filmed "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."
I've written about a couple of baseball pitchers, Roger Clemens and Jamie Moyer, who were born in 1962 and still were playing in 2012, at least for one minor-league game in Clemens' case. Among the athletes the same age, but not so active, are Jerry Rice, Patrick Ewing, John Stockton, Chris Chelios, Evander Holyfield and William "The Refrigerator" Perry. Actually, the Fridge won't turn 50 until Sunday.
Also closing in on 50 is Bill Self, the highly successful University of Kansas basketball coach, whose birthday is Dec. 27. Way to be younger than I am.
Older than me, by a whole day, is former football player and much-better-known ESPN personality Mike Golic. His 50th is today, so listen for quite the extravaganza on "Mike and Mike in the Morning."
Tomorrow is the big day for Rex Ryan, head coach of the New York Jets, which means he and I are exactly the same age, give or take a few hours. That's not going to make me root for the Jets.
I've mentioned plenty of well-known Americans (and the occasional Canadian or Scotsman), but I'd also like to acknowledge King Abdullah II of Jordan, who turned 50 in January.
Unlike mostly everyone else on this list, he never had to worry about what he wanted to be when he grew up.

Zombies are the discerning horror fan's monster of choice. Be they the slow, shambling, easy-to-behead traditional type or the super-fast face chompers of some more modern films, there's something about the singularity of purpose that makes a zombie do that zombie thing that makes them the ultimate scare.
In this article, we're going to dish up the five greatest zombie movies of all time. For added difficulty, no George A. Romero films are included, since he basically invented the modern zombie-film genre and is thus in a class by himself.
So read on! You might even find some movies you didn't know about. In fact, we'll just bet you've never heard of this first one ...
No. 5: "Dead Snow" (2009)
That's right, kids, zombie Nazis! If you think Jake Blues hated Illinois Nazis, you'll quickly see he had nothing on the cast of Norwegian unknowns in "Dead Snow" who find their backcountry skiing weekend interrupted by Hitler's undead minions.
"Dead Snow" is the only zombie flick to win an award at the Sundance Film Festival, and despite the no-name cast and occasionally cheesy dialogue, it delivers the goods. The zombies are implacable, and exhibit a level of cunning and strategy not often seen among the undead.
And there's plenty of leftover World War II weaponry laying about, leading to some truly epic zombie killfests with tons of gore polluting pristine Scandinavian snowscapes.
"Dead Snow" also wins, hands down, the title of Best Zombie Flick Tagline Ever: "Ein, Zvei, DIE!"
A good tagline is one thing, but great quotes are another, and our next selection is full of them ...
No. 4: "Army of Darkness" (1992)
The world might never have known the wonder that is Bruce Campbell if not for Sam Raimi's trilogy of "Evil Dead" movies, the greatest of which is "Army of Darkness." As shotgun-toting S-Mart clerk Ash, Campbell spits out quotable one-liners almost as often as he dispatches zombies, skeletons, miniature versions of himself and all manner of other bizarre creatures.
Discussion of the plot is pointless, as it is but a loose framework designed to set up fight scenes so over-the-top that they almost beggar reason.
Take for example the climactic tussle, which begins with Ash driving his beat-up Oldsmobile into the enemy army fitted out with everything up to and including a spinning skeleton-whacker.
Ash is the ultimate zombie movie hero, shifting from shotgun-fueled bravado and bloodthirst to screaming, fleeing, pants-wetting terror in the space of seconds. Basically, he's just like us.
Like your zombies with a dose of motherly love? Then try our next selection ...
No. 3: "World War Z" (2013)
Brad Pitt in a zombie flick? Believe it or not, it works. "World War Z" both scares and delights in this smart zombie thriller.
Pitt plays Gerry Lane, a United Nations employee who travels the world looking for a cure to end a zombie pandemic. As zombies take over the world, Lane races against the clock to save his family and all of humanity.
Our next selection takes us back to a decade we might not mind seeing get eaten ...
No. 2: "The Return of the Living Dead" (1985)
Let's face it, folks, no decade deserved to have its flesh snacked on more richly than the '80s.
"The Return of the Living Dead" was made in 1985, and it's populated with just about every stereotype of the era. In fact, you'll find yourself actually rooting for the zombies frequently.
This movie does make one singular contribution to zombie-flick lore: It's the first film in the genre in which the zombies are actually heard giving voice to their craving for "Brainsssss!" In fact, it's the first one we're aware of where that particular delicacy was specified.
The cause of zombification here was unique, also, coming from a release of mysterious gas of government origin. Government-as-secret-villain was certainly nothing new, but government as zombie creator? That, my friends, was the stuff that tinfoil-hat dreams are made of.
"The Return of the Living Dead" also featured the first speedy zombies, a concept that reached its apex in our final selection ...
No. 1: "28 Days Later" (2002)
The zombie movie genre was just sort of shuffling along when "28 Days Later" burst upon the scene. A group of well-meaning animal activists set loose the wrong chimp in a lab, unleashing the Rage virus upon Great Britain.
These zombies sprint like race horses and feed like Adam Richman at a wing buffet. Their bite, as per traditional zombie lore, will transform the bitten into a zombie. There is no slow conversion here, though. A bad bite will have the victim slavering for a big helping of human in moments.
And if the zombies aren't bad enough, we've got humans in the form of a rogue military outfit who make the undead look like choirboys when it comes to treatment of their fellow beings.
This movie is really the total package, with unlikely heroes, amazing escapes, tremendous acts of courage and scenes so gore-soaked you'll be wiping your home theater screen for days.

I'm sure the Rev. Gerard F. Weiss' letter, "Reach Out To Loners," published Wednesday, was crafted with only the best of intentions. However, it was rooted in naivete. Adam Lanza, like Jared Loughner (who shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords), James Holmes (who shot up a theater during the "Dark Knight Rises" premiere in Aurora, Colo.) and Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (the pair who shot up Columbine High School), was not just a loner. He was feared. Feared so much that no single person merely befriending a troubled soul could rectify.
Adam Lanza's mother feared her son to the point that she allegedly sought to have him committed to an institution, which, in retrospect, was the correct venue for dealing with this kid's madness.
Harris, Klebold, Loughner and Lanza were all incapable of living normally in society. What sorts of medication Lanza was prescribed will certainly become known as the facts of this case unfold. One thing is certain: These types of incidents were unheard of until many of the asylums were closed from coast-to-coast, following lawsuits by the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1980s in an effort to "mainstream" emotionally and mentally disturbed people.
While we were so concentrated on restoring these individuals' "rights to live normally," apparently nobody thought out the potential fallout in case these people couldn't cope with life.
So now it's blame the guns – a completely inanimate object, a tool that is not unlike a pipe wrench, a shovel or crowbar (since all can be used to kill another), a tool that is meant to protect its owner from violence and mayhem.
The Rev. Weiss feels (as I'm positive the editorial department of this paper does, as well) there are too many guns. Here's an idea. Let's remove them from policemen, the Sheriff's department and all law enforcement, too. But, before we agree to that, let's find out how that worked out in England.
Rev. Weiss, there aren't too many guns. In Connecticut, Colorado, Arizona and in other locales where this type of carnage has taken place, there were too few guns. The only way for a good person to stop a bad person with a gun is to possess a firearm as well. That is indisputable. There simply is no other way, no matter whether a small, but vocal few are offended by this fact or not.
John A. Quayle
We need more guns
