Kai Ryssdal: One hesitates to mention this on an otherwise perfectly pleasant Monday, but the calendar doesn't lie. We're only 17 short months from Election Day. A year and a half, almost.
So it's of course time to start talking the politics of the American economy. On the same day that would-be Republican candidates are set to debate in New Hampshire, President Barack Obama went to North Carolina today to talk jobs. He toured a high-tech lighting factory and he got some recommendations from his Jobs and Competitiveness Council, things like boosting tourism and creating clean-tech jobs.
So, how's that workin' out so far? Our Washington bureau chief John Dimsdale starts us off.
John Dimsdale: Running for office, Obama vowed to create five million green energy jobs within a decade. But the White House estimates so far there are fewer than 800,000 new jobs building electric car batteries and making new LED light bulbs, like at the factory Obama toured today.
Barack Obama: I want to see the LEDs and solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars of tomorrow made right here in the U.S. of A.
But that green strategy is far from enough to reduce unemployment. That's because foreign factories are meeting the demand for goods, says Gary Burtless at the Brookings Institution.
Gary Burtless: To the extent that that increase in demand is fulfilled by overseas production, we're not increasing the demand for workers here in the United States.
Obama is betting that demand will come eventually from energy-efficient products. But the President's Council on Jobs today issued much more traditional recommendations for boosting employment: cutting red tape for construction permits and small business loans, getting rid of tourist visa restrictions.
Business circles gave that a big thumbs up today. Matt McDonald, at Hamilton Place Strategies says, when the president talks green jobs, that's all it is.
Matt McDonald: The challenge for the White House is that that is going to be fundamentally an anecdotal story for them and not necessarily a big numbers-driven story where they can point to month over month.
Eventually, green technologies promise to generate lots of new jobs. The question is whether that'll be soon enough for Obama to save his own.
In Washington, I'm John Dimsdale for Marketplace.

seats on its board of directors that BBOC had tried to win in a shareholders' vote at Carver's annual meeting. BBOC had unsuccessfully nominated Cohee and his wife, Senior Vice President Teri Williams, for the board seats. Instead, Carver Directors David Dinkins, the former mayor of New York City, and David R. Jones, Carver's nonexecutive chairman, retained their seats by a margin of just 30,000 votes (See "Battle Royal," this issue).
The tangle between BBOC and Carver doesn't necessarily mean that future mergers between black-owned banks will be just as contentious.
Chapman's Gladue says that's mainly because most black-owned banks are privately held, making hostile takeovers highly unlikely. And a big percentage of the stock of most publicly traded black-owned banks-like Carver and Broadway Financial Corp.-are owned by directors or top officers, making it tougher for suitors to make bids.
"The Carver-BBOC case is somewhat unique, particularly for black-owned institutions," Gladue says. "This is rare, and I really doubt that we'll see more deals like it."
Some black-owned banks have already been successful at offering nontraditional bank products and at entering into alliances with regional institutions. For example, in
1998 Liberty Bank and Trust in New Orleans (No. 11 on the B.E. Banks list) began offering mutual funds through Jackson, Shankin & Sonia Investments, a New Orleans brokerage firm. And last fall, Liberty Bank aligned itself with Maryland-based Harbor Bankshares and Alabama-based Tuskegee Bank in a joint venture with Jackson, Shankin & Sonia to sell stocks, mutual funds and annuities through the three banks' branches.
And Gladue predicts that black-owned banks might partner with larger banks looking to gain Community Reinvestment Act credits and deter opposition from fair-lending and community activists who might challenge future acquisitions as they expand geographically.
Donald Davis, chairman at First Independence National Bank of Detroit (No. 12 on the B.E. Banks list), with assets of $158.2 million and four branches, says the new law could create many opportunities for black-owned banks to generate additional fees, increase loan production and offer both individual and business customers in black communities new products and services.
"We won't have to close the books on them with one product like a checking or savings account," Davis says. "The entire financial services world is moving that way and I don't see why we won't now."
Davis figures that one of the biggest areas where First Independence can generate fee-based income will be to offer more services to small- and medium-size businesses with annual sales ranging from $500,000 to $20 million, its primary market.
Some industry observers are unsure whether the law will foster more acquisitions among black financial companies, though.
Gladue believes that some black-owned financial service companies will merge, but that there will not be a massive number of deals. He says that's because there are a limited number of major cities with two or more black-owned banks, or a bank and insurance company. But Gladue says there are two wild cards that could fuel a few deals. Most of the banks that

These brushes contain seven different professional-grade mixed synthetic filaments with natural flagged tips and interlocked construction. The filaments are fastened into seamless, rustproof nickel-plated brass ferrules and long, stained woodgrain handles to create these versatile brushes.
Degas brushes are stiff enough to push heavy-body acrylics and oil, yet supple enough for the most delicate glazes.

MY FAVORITE SINCE THE EARLY 60's
By Johnny One Boat
from West Haven, Connecticut
Comments about Grumbacher Degas Long Handle Synthetic Round Series 930R:
Grumbacher brushes are the best in my opinion though there are other top flight ones out there. After 50 years of use, my original Grumbacher red sables still hold a fine point and have the same spring and snap they had when I bought them from Paul Heath at the local Sherwin-Williams store in 1960. Brushes are a significant investment but taken care of, they will give a lifetime of service. As Paul did in his store, I've been storing my brushes in shallow tray drawers with a few moth balls.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"Life is nothing; death, everything. Yet there is nothing which is death, independent of life. It is precisely this absence of autonomous, distinct reality which makes death universal; it has no realm of its own, it is omnipresent, like everything which lacks identity, limit, and bearing: an indecent infinitude."

A 64-year-old man was lucky to escape with only minor injuries after the truck he was driving tipped over on the mad mile on Monday afternoon.
The 22-tonne truck and trailer loaded with hay was travelling south along the Princes Highway, south of Batemans Bay, at 2.15pm when the driver allegedly lost control going around a right-hand bend.
As the trailer tilted to the left, the driver hit the brakes, which caused the trailer to tip completely over and the vehicle to roll.
It slid for 100m along the guardrail before stopping, almost upside down.
A witness helped the driver escape. He was trapped temporarily between the steering wheel and the dashboard.
The driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Meanwhile, Batemans Bay Fire and Rescue, HAZMAT, police, Ambulance and the Rural Fire Service were called to the chaotic scene.
The southbound lane was closed for several hours while services cleaned up the wreckage.
However, traffic flowed in both directions using two north-bound lanes on that stretch of road.
Batemans Bay Fire and Rescue deputy captain Alan Fitches said when they arrived and realised the driver was safe, they sent their tanker back into town while their HAZMAT crew remained on the scene to clean up a minor engine oil spill.
He said only six to seven litres of engine oil had spilt, which they removed with absorbent material.
The RFS established fire protection procedures and cleaned the hay off the road.
However, when it came time to turn the truck back upright, Mr Fitches said, there was potential danger of up to 500 litres of fuel being spilt.
He said they managed to keep the fuel contained within the truck, and the salvage operation continued.
Police are still investigating the crash.

Thorndike residents debate salaries, road budget
Thorndike — Residents in Thorndike made quick work of a 49-article town warrant with the majority of discussion focusing on the roads budget and town officials' salaries.
Approximately 60 residents gathered at the Town Office the morning of Saturday, March 15, where they began the meeting by electing a moderator and several town officials.
When Moderator Don Berry opened discussion on Article 3, which asked residents to raise $38,300 for town officials' salaries — an increase of $1,000 over the previous year —a resident questioned why there was an increase for the first selectman, a position held by Jim Bennett, and suggested that given the economic times, it would be better to not give any increases.
Resident Jeff Trafton, who also served on the budget committee, pointed out that during discussions about the salaries selectmen Larry Hustus and Larry Ward motioned to increase the first selectman's pay and the budget committee approved the increase.
Trafton further noted Bennett has served the town for many years having been reelected for the 14th time that morning, and was working on ways to save taxpayers money, which included trying to keep the Unity Area Regional Recycling Center.
A counterpoint was made that Bennett would be paid more money than officials in other towns in the county. However, the question was then moved after additional brief discussion and residents approved the recommended $38,300 amount.
The next article residents asked for more information about was a request to allow town officials to spend up to $5,000 from undesignated funds for emergency purposes. Residents asked why town officials wanted authorization to spend more than the $2,500 that was requested last year.
First Selectman Jim Bennett explained the town almost needed to tap into the emergency funds this year and the $2,500 amount would not have been adequate. As a result, Bennett said town officials decided to ask to spend up to $5,000 and also explained that the money would not be used unless it was needed.
Residents then voted in favor of the increased emergency spending.
Voters moved quickly through the warrant until articles 31, 32 and 33, which dealt with budget amounts for road maintenance.
First on the list was a $65,000 request for town roads. Several residents suggested the recommended budget amount be increased due to the poor condition of the roads in the town. Another suggestion was also made to focus more heavily on the throughways in Thorndike as opposed to dead-end roads.
Of the $65,00 request, $32,200 would be raised through taxation with $30,000 being appropriated from undesignated funds and $2,800 from Worthy Poor.
Despite the suggestions to increase the budget line item for town roads, no amendments were made to the article and it passed as recommended.
The next item on the warrant was to see what sum of money the town would raise and/or appropriate for capital improvements to town roads. It was recommended that the monies not exceed Urban Rural Initiative Project Funds (URIP), which is now designated by the state as the Local Road Assistance Program (LRAP).
Bennett explained that the LRAP funds limit what the towns can do in terms of road improvement projects. Prior to 1999 the funds could be used for the maintenance and improvement of public roads, according to the Maine Department of Transportation.
However, the funds can now only be used for capital improvements on roads or bridges. The state defines capital improvement as work on a road or bridge that has a life expectancy of at least 10 years or restores the load-carrying capacity.
Bennett agreed that the town needed to do work on its roads, but also pointed out that more and more residents are struggling to pay their taxes. Without the tax dollars coming in, the town cannot do all of the work it would like to, he said.
Residents also approved $125,000 for winter roads with $103,000 coming from excise and $22,00 being raised from taxation.
The meeting adjourned after about 90 minutes of discussion at 11 a.m.
Election results:
First Selectman, Assessor and Overseer of the Poor — Jim Bennett
Second Selectman, Assessor and Overseer of the Poor —Larry Ward
Third Selectman, Assessor and Overseer of the Poor — Larry Hustus
Road Commissioner — Selectmen
Cemetery Committee — Clyde Rumney
Regional School Unit 3 Representative — Jesse Hargrove

New Zealand First MP Richard Prosser said New Zealand should stop hiding behind a "facade of misplaced tolerance born of spineless fear" and face head on "the identifiable threat to modern aviation security" which he claims is posed by young Muslim men.
NZ HERALD In a column for Investigate Magazine, the Waimakariri list MP suggested young Muslims shouldn't be allowed to travel on Western airlines because 'most terrorists are Muslims." He accepted that most Muslims are not terrorists, but said it's "equally undeniable" that "most terrorists are Muslims".
"If you are a young male, aged between say about 19 and about 35, and you're a Muslim, or you look like a Muslim, or you come from a Muslim country, then you are not welcome to travel on any of the West's airlines," he wrote.
In his article, Mr Prosser also said: "I will not stand by while [his daughters'] rights and freedoms of other New Zealanders and Westerners, are denigrated by a sorry pack of misogynist troglodytes from Wogistan."The 9/11 hijackers were Muslims, as were the London "tube bombers", Mr Prosser said, along with the Taleban and al-Qaida. "There is a pattern here, I promise you," he wrote. "These are angry, young Muslim men who hate the West and want to destroy it. "They attack us, and our institutions and infrastructures, and our way of life, and our values and beliefs and precepts, because we are not like them, and for no other reason."
Prime Minister John Key was "appalled" by the comments, while the New Zealand Muslim Association called them "senseless". But in an interview with Newstalk ZB's political editor Barry Soper, Mr Prosser stood by his controversial stance.
Prosser has spoken out in defence of his "Wogistan" rant which has been slammed as racist by Muslim leaders and politicians. He denied that the use of "Wogistan" was racist, citing mentions of it being a "mythical place", which could even have been "a real place". "Look, people can read things into it if they want," he said."I have a particular style in my Investigate column which is, um, reasonably blunt, and I speak a lot of things that other people are talking about but won't necessarily say. "I don't think it's anything derogatory particularly, I don't have any real time for the worst extreme elements of Islam who treat women in a poor fashion. So, I certainly think it's appropriate for me to make those comments."
Asked if he was tarring all young male Muslims with the same brush, Mr Prosser said it was a profiling policy that has made Israeli airline El Al "one of the safest airlines in the world".
NZ First Leader Winston Peters initially said there was "an element of truth' to what Mr Prosser wrote but that his MP had failed to balance his attack by acknowledging that the majority of Muslims were peaceful and law abiding. In a subsequent statement, Mr Peters said Mr Prosser had "wrongfully impugned millions of law-abiding, peaceful Muslims" and the article did not represent the views of NZ First.
Mr Prosser said Mr Peters doesn't vet his columns, which he's been writing in Investigate for more than a decade, claiming they were separate from his MP duties and party policy. He believed it was appropriate for him as an MP to make his views heard, saying: "This is what we are here for. We are here to represent and speak about the issues and concerns that people have."
Prosser, 45, has previously made no apology for the strength of the controversial ideas he has been pushing for almost 10 years. In 2011, he called for the burqa to be banned, while he also wanted bank tellers, dairy owners and taxi drivers to be armed.
Muslim leaders rejected Prosser's 'non-apology' apology over his call for Muslims to be banned from Western airlines. The MP's remarks provoked Muslim outrage, but NZ First leader Winston Peters refused to sack him and said he did not have to apologize.
Stuff However, speaking on Radio New Zealand's Nine to Noon show this morning, Prosser apologized."I'm sorry … to the majority of peaceful, law-abiding Muslims who are not involved in terrorism." He conceded he was "only talking about a small extremist minority", but his article would not allow the reader to separate the fact that most Muslims were honest and law-abiding. "That's obviously caused some upset, and for that I'm sorry," he said.
The head of the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ), Anwar Ghani, said Prosser's apology was not good enough."I wouldn't call it an apology; it was a softening of the tone, that's all," he said. "It seems to me he still maintains what he said, by and large, and he's simply trying to align his comments with what his leader has said."
He said the damage done by Prosser yesterday had not been reversed by the apology. "He has to come out and say unreservedly that 'I apologise if my act has caused any offence to any of the Muslims in New Zealand'," Ghani said.
But Prosser told RNZ he did not "have any time" for Islam as a religion. "I make no apology for the fact I don't have any time for people who denigrate women or for institutions that suppress human rights."
He denied he was being racist. "It is a religion, not a race."

Japanese scientists say they have discovered a huge cache of rare earth minerals on the ocean floor near Hawaii. And they say the minerals will be easy to extract. These are the minerals that are used to build fancy electronics equipment, the same minerals that China supplies 97% of. Pretty sure that was a poorly constructed sentence. China has been limiting exports of the minerals leading many to worry about a shortage and possibly spiking electronics prices. So does this mean the price of electronics will go down? I highly doubt it but it might mean shifting sands in terms of power distribution.
Rare earth minerals to be not so rare?

EXTRA parking bays will be provided along a road in Hutton for residents to use.
Funding was provided by Brentwood Council for the spaces to be set up along Hutton Drive after residents raised concerns with the lack of parking available to them outside their homes.
Conservative Hutton Central councillor John Kerslake who has also been campaigning for the new bays said this is a very welcome move.
Mr Kerslake said: "I've been lobbying for the funds for some time and I'm pleased the money is now there for extra spaces to be installed.
"Currently, parking is very limited and residents are having to leave their cars some distance from their homes, often whilst carrying heavy shopping."

Any constitutional changes may, however, meet with strong resistance. "Some presidential candidates will want early elections if Yeltsin goes because their images won't stand lengthy scrutiny," says Quinn-Judge. And the murder of one would-be presidential candidate last weekend was the surest sign that the post-Yeltsin transition will be anything but seamless.
Moscow in Post-Yeltsin Mode
MOSCOW: Quick, find Boris an heir. With Russia's President Yeltsin reduced to conducting the affairs of state from his hospital bed on Monday, Kremlin insiders were planning his succession. The problem is that constitutionally, Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov can rule for only 100 days, after which new presidential elections would have to be held. Which is why the Kremlin wants to revive the vice presidency scrapped by Yeltsin, and tap Primakov for the post. "As vice president, Primakov could take over as interim president until the 2000 elections," says TIME Moscow bureau chief Paul Quinn-Judge. And that would certainly give his candidacy a leg up.

-having an uncircumcised penis.
-living at home with your parents until marriage.
-wearing fashionable European clothes such as Armani Exchange or Versace.
-growing up idolizing European soccer stars.

DES MOINES, IA - Daisy and Angel are two horse friends awaiting adoption at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa(ARL). However, they are not your average gal pals: Daisy, 10, is blind and relies on Angel, 17, to be her eyes.
Their friendship is a special one because of Angel's tranquil nature. She doesn't mind that Daisy follows her closely and doesn't get irritated when Daisy accidentally bumps into her. If the two get separated, Angel will even broadcast her location by whinnying to Daisy.
The ARL's Facebook post about Angel and Daisy has been shared over 150 times and has more than 600 likes.
"Sometimes you just need a friend who gets you," the ARL wrote.
Carrie Spain, who oversees the ARL's barn animals, thinks people were moved by Daisy and Angel's story because "When people think of rescue horses, they just have this picture of them being sad in a stall, but these two are doing great. They can see how well (horses) can do when taken out of bad situations."
Daisy was picked up in Warren County in the summer of 2015 after being called in as a stray. When she first arrived at the ARL, Iowa State veterinarians examined her and concluded that she was suffering from uveitis, an eye condition that leads to blindness when left untreated, Spain said.
Daisy was in a pen by herself at the ARL until Angel was rescued from a neglectful situation. Daisy and Angel ended up getting housed together because they could share a special type of hay that Angel needed. That's when the caretakers noticed their compatibility.
Spain said they needed to move the horses into a different pen — a new environment for Daisy. The caregivers watched the two together and realized that Angel would help lead Daisy around in the new environment.

After recently announcing that Michael Berryman and Jonathan Silverman will be starring in his next film, Self Storage, producer Chad A. Verdi of Woodhaven Productions now adds Academy Award nominated actor Eric Roberts to the project.
Verdi stated, "This film is going to be something very special. It started with a great script, and now, with this cast, the sky is the limit." Filming begins in July in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, for a planned March 2013 release.
For more on Self Storage, plus info on Verdi's previous films, the Robert Englund vehicle Inkubus, and the upcoming zombie film Infected (starring William Forsythe and Michael Madsen, October 2012 release date), visit the official Woodhaven Films website.
From the Press Release
The Woodhaven Production Company is pleased to announce the signing of Oscar nominated actor Eric Roberts (The Dark Night, The Expendables) to the cast of Self Storage. The film tells the story of Jake, the night watchman working at a highly-secured self storage facility. His pals are home from college and looking to party. Jake, being played by Tom DeNucci (Inkubus, Loosies, Infected), decides to invite them to work and throw a fiesta of his own. Innocent mischief turns a naughty night of sex, drugs and rock & roll into an evening of pure terror. Barbed wire fences are meant to keep people OUT. But these fences keep people in.
Eric Roberts is set to play the role of Walter, a former black operative with an evil secret. Walter, along with his faithful brother-at-arms Trevor (Michael Berryman), has some unfinished business with a seedy underworld grifter, Jonah, played by Jonathan Silverman. Black market business mixes with pleasure when Jake and his pals stumble upon this heinous covert operation.
Self Storage is being produced by Verdi, Gino Pereira and Tom DeNucci, with DeNucci directing and Michelle Verdi handling the music supervision. Woodhaven has added ex-producers Danielle Corsa, David and Sherry Lussier, David Gere and Carl Dupre to the project. Verdi stated, "We're excited to be bringing back special effects wiz Rob Fitz, who's worked with us in the past on Inkubus and Infected along with the addition of Nick Delmenico as our line producer.

Exclusive: studioADI and 20th Century Fox Unveil Stunning Alien 3 and Resurrection Art Collection
Today, Yahoo! Movies have announced that studioADI, who we've seen this year in IT and will see next year in The Predator and in 2019 Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and 20th Century Fox Consumer Products have launched The studioADI Collection, a new initiative that will see the award-winning FX studio create art inspired by Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection. The pieces that will come from this collection are not to be confused as collectible figures but should rather be seen as high-quality works of art as each one will be hand-crafted based on original molds and they will then be individually painted. Prices will range from $250 to $4,000 and they will go on sale beginning December 1st through Big Cartel.
StudioADI's Alec Gillis states, "The studioADI collection is our tribute to the films that have been an important part of our legacy as artists. Each piece of art reflects the same detail and passion we poured into the characters when we created the original Alien films."
Tom Woodruff Jr. adds, "This is the collection designed for fans of these entries into the Alien franchise as well as aficionados of the art of creatures and monsters of iconic pedigree."
The studioADI Collection will include the following seven pieces:
Queen Alien Embryo from Alien³
Newborn Alien Design Maquette Bust from Alien: Resurrection
Newborn Alien Full Body Design Maquette from Alien: Resurrection
Swimming Alien Study Model from Alien: Resurrection
1:1 Alien Warrior Half Head from Alien: Resurrection
1:1 Newborn Alien Head from Alien: Resurrection
1:3 Scale Queen Alien Head from Alien: Resurrection
These are descriptions of two of these items:
"The Newborn" from Alien: Resurrection was the terrifying mix of human and Alien DNA gone wrong. This Full-Scale Bust is cast from hand-laid translucent polyester resin from ADI's original production molds and is painted to the same exacting specifications by ADI's painter who painted the character for the original film. The piece measures 30″x20″x40″
"The Queen Alien Embryo" was seen in David Fincher's Alien³ was nestled next to the beating heart of Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver. Cast in translucent urethane and hand painted by the same ADI artists who created the piece for the film in 1991.
At 7″ x 9″ this piece of art is perfect for desktop display.
Here are images of some of these pieces:
We got our hands on three exclusive images from this collection that add a glorious vision of how detailed and intricate these pieces are going to get.
The first image is of the back of the 1:3 scale Queen Alien Head from Alien: Resurrection. You can see that every square inch of the design is tended to and that no stone is left unturned when it comes to the mold and paint.
The second image shows the Newborn Alien Full Body Design Maquette from Alien: Resurrection from a wide, almost full-front angle. You can really see the spindly, almost delicate structure to its body while also being intimately aware of the grotesque yet hypnotizing physique.
Lastly, the third image is a closeup of the Queen Alien Embryo from Alien³. Here you can see just how detailed the mold is, each wrinkle and crease in the Xenomorph's body etched finely and with precision.
Whatever Happened to Eli Roth's Thanksgiving?
Back in April of 2007, we all sat in our local darkened theater and watched as Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's exploitation double feature Grindhouse (review) blew the roof off the place for 3 hours straight.
Well, it's ten years later, and I think we are all asking ourselves the same question: Where the hell is Eli Roth's Thanksgiving?
Like every other human out there, I enjoyed both Tarantino and Rodriguez's films – along with the fake trailers by Rob Zombie and Edgar Wright – but the big takeaway was Eli Roth's faux trailer for the greatest 80's slasher that never was.
So what happened to the feature?
Well, Roth was originally working on the feature back in 2007 after finishing his work helming Hostel: Part II, telling Cinema Blend:
"I've been working on the script with my co-writer, Jeff Rendell, who plays the pilgrim in the trailer," Roth told the site. "And it's me imitating Jeff's voice [for the narration]. But Jeff has been working. I said that his deal is he has to work on the script while I'm promoting The Last Exorcism, and as soon as I'm done in mid-September he's going to fly to California, we're going to sit down, and bang out the script."
But then the planned film died out as Grindhouse flopped at the box-office. Following the film's underperformance, all talks surrounding Edgar Wright and Eli Roth's Grindhouse double feature spin-off were silenced in a single weekend.
In fact, the last update we received on the possible standalone Thanksgiving film was last year when Roth did a Reddit AMA, and said this about the film's current development:
"Have a draft not totally happy with. I want to put some more work into it so the film lives up to the trailer. We have the story and mythology cracked so now it's about getting the kills right."
Nice. Seemed like the film was making some headway. Nothing to do but gut the T's and cut the heads off the I's. But then nothing happened. At all. No updates. No nothing.
With that in mind, we here at Dread Central decided to reach out to Roth personally and see if there were any new happenings in regards to the film. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach him so I guess we'll all just have to keep wondering and waiting.
Maybe it's the pressure he no doubt feels making the much loved faux trailer into a feature. After all, he did say this back in 2007: "No matter how many movies I make my whole life, that two-and-a-half minute trailer is what I'll be remembered for: 'Eli Roth — he had a guy fucking a turkey with a decapitated head on it.'"
Or maybe the rights to the film were just tied up with the now infamous Weinstein company. But with that company finally going under (thank God) maybe now the rights could be sold off to new producers and finally, we'll see not only Thanksgiving but features based on Don't and possibly even Werewolf Women of the S.S.
But I dream…
Until we get the full-length feature flick of Eli Roth's Thanksgiving, we can always look back on the comments he made to Rolling Stone way back in April of 2007, in which he talked a bit about the Pilgrim's backstory.
"My friend Jeff… we had the whole movie worked out," Roth told the magazine. "A kid who's in love with a turkey and then his father killed it and then he killed his family and went away to a mental institution and came back and took revenge on the town."
Jesus, please us. I don't know about you, but that sounds like the f*cking perfect setup/backstory for an 80's slasher throwback flick set on Thanksgiving.
So ten years later, let me be the one to come right out and say it: Please, Eli Roth, make Thanksgiving. Please. Every horror fan in the world would thank you. Forever.
We'll make sure to update this article in another ten years.
Charles Manson Has Died: These Are the Victims of His Murderous Cult
Yesterday brought the news that famed cult leader Charles Manson had passed away at the age of 83. He passed away from natural causes after spending the last 48 years in jail. While he was supposedly never present at any of the murders caused by his "family", he was convicted of ordering the deaths of several people and sending his followers to commit the horrible acts.
But let us not dwell upon him anymore. Another psychopath passes on and we should continue about our lives. That being said, instead of discussing him any more, I think we need to take this time to say the names of the victims of Manson and his "family":
Abigail Folger
Wojciech Frykowski
Gary Hinman
Leno LaBianca
Rosemary LaBianca
Steven Parent
Jay Sebring
Donald Shea
Sharon Tate
These people were each taken from this world too soon, robbed of their lives by those who wished to start a "Helter Skelter" race war. They had families. They were sons, daughters, wives, husbands, fathers, mothers… They were innocent people who were murdered by the worst of the worst.
Today, I do not mourn the death of Charles Manson. Rather, I mourn again the death of nine people who had yet to experience and offer all that life brings. I mourn the death of Sharon Tate's unborn child, who never even got to breathe the same air we breathe now. I feel saddened by the devastating impact that these murders had upon their families, a pain still felt to this day.
Rest in peace to the victims of a man who wanted to incite war and cause divisiveness. May his passing bring you some semblance of peace. And may we forget his name as quickly as possible.

(Wig used for Kirito from Sword Art Online)
This was actually the first wig for Cosplay that I purchased and it was not as bad as I had thought that it would be. I did buy the conditioning spray the was recommended and the wig still tangles, but that's to be expected with long ones. The only thing I might change is thinning the back a little but I don't want to over thin it.
(Wig used for Odette from Swan Princess, The)
(Wig used for Jade Harley from MS Paint Adventures / Homestuck)
(Wig used for Homura Akemi from Madoka Magica)
(Wig used for Arieta Lyuis from Growlanser II: Sense of Justice)
First off, they showed a different color in the photo and when I saw it, it was the perfect color. However, when I actually got it, the color was at least 2 shades darker than it actually was. I was already pressed for time and they obviously would not help me so I just gave up and used it.
(Wig used for Cammy from Street Fighter IV)
Very heavy wig and tangled quite easily as most long wigs do, but it is a nice wig.
(Wig used for Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic)
Very soft, pretty easy to work with. Edges frayed quickly. Lots of care and careful handling required.
(Wig used for Tethys from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones)
"I bought the wig from Hellocosplay.com after loving the wig I got for T-Elos. It was a good price and shipped fast. It's a nice bright color! I'm planning on evnetually stubbing it and making the proper ponytail and bun as seen in the art, but for now it's just in a long ponytail with bangs. It's quite heavy though—I glued two little combs in the front and back so it would hold to my head easier."

Types of Asbestos Cancers
Exposure to asbestos has been directly linked to two types of cancers: lung cancer and mesothelioma, which is a rare but particularly aggressive cancer that affects the lining of the chest (pleural mesothelioma), the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma), or the heart (pericardial mesothelioma). The National Cancer Institute reports that there may also be an association between asbestos exposure and cancers of the throat, kidney, esophagus, gallbladder, colon, and intestine, though the evidence is not conclusive.
The chances of developing either type of asbestos cancer—lung cancer or mesothelioma— increase in relation to the amount of asbestos a person is exposed to and for how long a period of time they were exposed. However, researchers have found asbestos-related diseases including asbestos cancer in individuals who had only brief exposure to asbestos.
Asbestos Cancer: Mesothelioma
While relatively rare, with around 3,200 new cases reported in the U.S. each year, malignant mesothelioma is still a significant risk to people exposed to asbestos. Because mesothelioma symptoms are similar to those of other less serious diseases such as influenza or a bronchial infection, and because symptoms of the disease can take 40 years or more to appear after asbestos exposure, there is some concern about misdiagnosed mesothelioma cases and questions as to whether this asbestos cancer is underreported. However, it is agreed that asbestos exposure is the cause of mesothelioma.
When asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they can work their way to the mesothelium tissue that lines the lungs, abdomen, and heart, and result in one of three types of mesothelioma.
- Pleural mesothelioma is a cancer of the pleura, the tissue surrounding the lungs. This is the most common form of mesothelioma.
- Peritoneal mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the abdomen.
- Pericardial mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining around the heart. This is the least common form of mesothelioma.
Unfortunately, mesothelioma cannot be cured with today's medical knowledge, and the average survival time after diagnosis is only one year. About 10 percent of people diagnosed with mesothelioma survive for more than five years.
Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer
Asbestos exposure can be a factor in developing either of the two most common types of lung cancer: small-cell lung cancer and non small-cell lung cancer. Non small-cell lung cancer accounts for 85-90 percent of lung cancers.
The average man in the U.S. has a one in 12 chance of getting lung cancer and the average woman a one in 16 chance. Asbestos workers, however, are about seven times more likely to die of lung cancer than the general population. And asbestos workers who smoke have a 50-90 times greater chance of getting lung cancer than the general population.
Most asbestos-induced lung cancer forms in the lining of the bronchi, the air tubes within the lungs. However, lung cancer can also begin in other areas of the pulmonary system. Although asbestos lung cancer usually develops slowly and may not appear until many years after exposure to asbestos, once it does occur, cancerous cells can metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body. Patients with early-stage asbestos-induced lung cancer often display no symptoms.
The prognosis for either type of lung cancer is poor. Nearly 60 percent of patients diagnosed with lung cancer die within one year, and nearly 75 percent die within two years. About 16 percent of people diagnosed with non small-cell lung cancer survive the disease for more than five years; only about six percent of those diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer survive more than five years.
If you or a loved one has a history of asbestos exposure and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, you may want to consider taking legal action against the companies whose asbestos-containing products led to your exposure.

Good Morning Beagles
I have received a letter from the court informing me that
Lowell are defending their claim
That the case is suitable to the small claims track
to fill in the Small Claims Directions Questinaire
I still have not received the Default notice
Any suggestions
Many thanks as always
Hi Hairbear
Complete & return the DQ by the due date if you have received it from the court.
Say 'yes' to mediation.
Usually, the next step is that Mediation Services will contact you.
In the meantime, familiarise yourself with Brandon v American Express & the importance of a valid DN.
This is only my opinion - "Opinions are made to be changed --or how is truth to be got at?" (Byron)
You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.

Thank you very much Charity for the advice it is very much appreciated
regards Hairbear
Hi Charity and Beagles
Just an update,
I have been reading Brandon v American Express
Section 8 87 A default notice must be served to be able to demand earlier payment
If Lowell refuse to provide a default notice does this mean that they have breached the CCA.
If the original lender would have normally gone down the default route then I would be entitled to receive one
I have also received notification of mediation. One of the questions it asks is have you all the information and documentation you require for the case. If I still have not been provided with the default notice by Lowell could this affect mediation
If anyone has any advise on dealing with mediation I would be grateful
As always I am so very grateful for all the help and advice
Cheers HAIR
Lowells will not have served a s87 DN......that should be via the original creditor.
It would be mandatory before they can terminate the agreement for non-payment.
However, if Lowells can persuade the Judge that the records show that a DN was sent on XX date, & that the DNs sent out were in YY format, & the DN always allowed for the statutory time needed, then the Judge may accept that, in the balance of probabilities, a compliant one was sent.
I have not had dealings with mediation, but I'm led to believe that, if documentation requested has not been sent, Mediation Service deem the case unsuitable for mediation. It is usually referred back to court for further instruction. (Perhaps allocation to a hearing venue, as you have received/returned the DQ.......have you?)
Thanks for your reply Charity
Would lowell have to produce a copy of the default notice for the judge. I could not find one in the documents from the data request from HBOS and Lowells have not supplied one in the CPR request. Would it be worth asking Lowell again for a copy of the DN or just see what I get from mediation
Okay the only outstanding document is the Default Notice, and they have supplied an example of what it would have been like, and have screennotes showing it was sent so on balance of probabilities it will be deemed to have been sent and presumably compliant. The CCA is compliant (HBOS for Amazon credit card?) and the NoA is in order? ( from reading back I think that's correct).
You've a settlement opportunity - I don't know the terms - if you can get it settled with a consent order thus keeping a CCJ off your file and can make installment payments ? then it seems that it may be worth further negotiation with them to get the best outcome you can. Not sure if mediation's settlement amount offer is under a CCJ or by consent with the claim on hold in court?
We may not win by protesting, but if we dont protest we will lose. If we stand up to them, there is always a chance we will win. Hetty Bower

Motor vehicle technicians, or mechanics, carry out service and repair of vehicles, MOT testing and engine conversions to liquid petroleum gas (LPG). They work for garages, manufacturers' service centres, freight, transport and construction companies, and vehicle hire and breakdown organisations. Technicians work in one of four areas:
Light vehicles
Working mainly with cars and vans, a technician uses a range of hand and power tools, and electrical testing equipment to carry out regular service checks on engines and components. On more modern vehicles, they use computerised fault diagnosis equipment, which connects to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) to identify problems.
Any defective parts are repaired or replaced, in line with manufacturer's manuals and guidelines. Other tasks include tuning parts, MOT testing (see Training), and fitting and servicing accessories, such as radios and alarms.
Heavy vehicles
Technicians work on trucks, buses and coaches, earth-moving equipment, tractors, stationary engines (eg generators and pumps) and agricultural machinery. Many of the tasks are the same as those carried out on light vehicles. As heavy vehicle components are expensive, technicians aim to repair rather than replace parts.
Motorcycle technicians examine, repair and maintain motorbikes. They use many of the same tools and procedures as light vehicle technicians. They also customise bikes to owners' specifications.
Auto electrics
Auto electricians find and repair electrical faults in vehicles. They also instal new electrical/electronic parts and accessories, such as car alarms, immobilisers and CD changers. Once again, their tools are similar to those used by light vehicle technicians. For more information about fitting electrics, see the profile for Auto Electrician.
Working 40 hours a week is common, with overtime available depending on workload. There may be shift work, including weekends, and some garages operate an 'on-call' system. Some heavy vehicle garages only service vehicles at night.
Newer service centres are relatively clean and spacious, whereas conditions in older garages can be cramped and dirty. Although, lifting equipment and hoists are used, the work is still physically demanding.
When dealing with breakdowns, technicians may have to travel long distances and be expected to work in all weather conditions.
To be a motor vehicle technician, you should:
Motor vehicle technicians work for small independent garages, fast-fit outlets - which carry out MOTs and basic servicing - large car dealerships, and haulage companies. Opportunities also exist with other organisations such as local authorities, the police, motoring organisations, large private firms and taxi companies.
There is a demand for highly trained technicians all over the UK. Due to the ever-changing technology involved in the car industry, many workers undergo further training. There may also be the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of mechanics, such as tyres, clutches and brakes, or specific make of vehicle.
Promotion is normally to senior technician and then supervisor. Management positions may also be a possibility. Some technicians become self-employed.
