Janet Leigh (born Jeanette Helen Morrison; July 6, 1927 – October 3, 2004) was an American actress, singer, dancer and author. She is best remembered for her performance in Psycho, for which she was awarded the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and received an Academy Award nomination.
Discovered by actress Norma Shearer, Leigh made her acting debut on radio in 1946 and secured a contract with MGM the following year. Early in her career, she appeared in popular films spanning a wide variety of genres, including Act of Violence (1948), Little Women (1949), Angels in the Outfield (1951), Scaramouche (1952), The Naked Spur (1953) and Living It Up (1954). She played mostly dramatic roles during the latter half of the 1950s, in such films as Safari (1956) and Touch of Evil (1958), but achieved her most lasting recognition as the doomed Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960).
Her highly publicized marriage to actor Tony Curtis ended in divorce in 1962, and after starring in The Manchurian Candidate that same year, Leigh scaled back her career. Intermittently, she continued to appear in notable films, including Bye Bye Birdie (1963), Harper (1966) and Night of the Lepus (1972) as well as two films with her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis: The Fog (1980) and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). She also wrote four books between 1984 and 2002, including two novels.
Leigh died in 2004 at age 77, following a year-long battle with vasculitis, an inflammation of the blood vessels, among her survivors was her husband of 42 years, Robert Brandt.
Early life[edit]
The only child of Helen Lita (née Westergaard) and Frederick Robert Morrison, Leigh was born Jeanette Helen Morrison in Merced, California, she was raised in Stockton, California where she attended Weber Grammar School, Stockton High School and both San Joaquin Delta College and College of the Pacific (now University of the Pacific).[1] Her maternal grandparents were immigrants from Denmark,[2] and she also had Scots-Irish and German ancestry.[3] In winter 1945, she was discovered by actress Norma Shearer, whose late husband Irving Thalberg had been a senior executive at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Shearer showed talent agent Lew Wasserman a photograph she had seen of Leigh while vacationing at Sugar Bowl, the ski resort where the girl's parents worked. Shearer later recalled that "that smile made it the most fascinating face I had seen in years. I felt I had to show that face to somebody at the studio."[4] Leigh left the College of the Pacific, where she was studying Music and Psychology from 1943-46,[5] after Wasserman secured a contract with MGM, despite having no acting experience. She was placed under the tutelage of drama coach Lillian Burns.[6]
Prior to beginning her movie career, Leigh was a guest star on the radio dramatic anthology The Cresta Blanca Hollywood Players. Her initial appearance on radio[7] at age 19[8] was in the program's production "All Through the House," December 24, 1946.[9] Leigh made her film debut in the big budget film The Romance of Rosy Ridge in 1947, as the romantic interest of Van Johnson's character, she got the role when performing Phyllis Thaxter's long speech in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo for the head of the studio talent department.[6] During the shooting, Leigh's name was first changed to "Jeanette Reames", then to "Janet Leigh" and finally back to her birth name "Jeanette Morrison", because "Janet Leigh" resembled Vivien Leigh too much.[10] However, Johnson did not like the name and it was finally changed back to "Janet Leigh" (pronounced "Lee").[10] Leigh initially left college for a film career, but enrolled in night school at the University of Southern California in 1947.[11]
Immediately after the film's release, Leigh was cast opposite Walter Pidgeon and Deborah Kerr in If Winter Comes in the summer of 1947.[12] Furthermore, due to the box office success of The Romance of Rosy Ridge, Leigh and Johnson were teamed up again in a film project called The Life of Monty Stratton in August 1947,[13] the project was eventually shelved and released in 1949 as The Stratton Story, starring James Stewart and June Allyson. Another film that Leigh was set to star in, before being replaced, was Alias a Gentleman, in which she was cast in April 1947.[14] By late 1947, Leigh was occupied with the shooting of the Lassie film Hills of Home (1948), the first film in which she received star billing;[15] in late 1948, Leigh was hailed the "No. 1 glamour girl" of Hollywood, although known for her polite, generous and down-to-earth persona.[16]
Many movies followed, notably the box-office hit Little Women (1949), based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott, she proved versatile, starring in films as diverse as the baseball farce Angels in the Outfield in 1951 and the tense western The Naked Spur in 1953. The following year, she had a supporting role in the Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy Living It Up; in 1955, Leigh played the title role in the musical comedy My Sister Eileen, co-starring Jack Lemmon, Betty Garrett and Dick York.
Her initial roles were ingenues based on characters from historical literature, for example in Scaramouche opposite Stewart Granger. By 1956, she moved to more complex roles, such as the role of Linda Latham in Safari opposite Victor Mature.[17]
She co-starred with then-husband Tony Curtis in five films, Houdini (1953), The Black Shield of Falworth (1954), The Vikings (1958), The Perfect Furlough (1958) and Who Was That Lady? (1960). They also had cameos together in a sixth film, Pepe (1960).
In 1958, Leigh starred as Susan Vargas in the Orson Welles film noir classic Touch of Evil (1958) with Charlton Heston, a film with numerous similarities to Alfred Hitchcock's later film Psycho, which was produced two years after Touch of Evil.
Her most famous role was as the morally ambiguous Marion Crane, co-starring with John Gavin and Anthony Perkins, in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), featuring its iconic shower murder scene. The fact that the star died early in the movie violated narrative conventions of the time, she received a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance. Leigh was so traumatized by the shower scene that she went to great lengths to avoid showers for the rest of her life.[18]
Leigh had starring roles in many other films, including the stark drama The Manchurian Candidate (1962) with Frank Sinatra, and the musical comedy Bye Bye Birdie (1963) based on the hit Broadway show. Following those two films, the recently divorced/remarried Leigh took a break from her acting career and turned down several roles, including the role of Simone Clouseau in The Pink Panther, because she didn't want to go off on location and away from her family;[19] in 1966, she portrayed Paul Newman's estranged wife in the private-detective story Harper and reteamed with Jerry Lewis for the comedy Three on a Couch.
Leigh worked frequently in television from the late 1960s onward, her initial television appearances were on anthology programs such as Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre and The Red Skelton Hour, and later, Tales of the Unexpected. She also starred in several made-for-TV films, most notably the off-length (135 minutes instead of the usual 100) The House on Greenapple Road, which premiered on ABC in January 1970 to high ratings.
In 1972, Leigh starred in the science fiction film Night of the Lepus with Stuart Whitman as well as the drama One Is a Lonely Number with Trish Van Devere. In 1975, she played a retired Hollywood song and dance star opposite Peter Falk and John Payne in the Columbo episode Forgotten Lady. The episode utilizes footage of Leigh from the film Walking My Baby Back Home (1953).
Her many guest appearances on television series include The Man from U.N.C.L.E. two-part episode, "The Concrete Overcoat Affair", in which she played a sadistic Thrush agent named Miss Dyketon, a highly provocative role for mainstream television at the time. The two-part episode was released in Europe as a feature film entitled The Spy in the Green Hat (1967), she also appeared in the title role in The Virginian episode "Jenny" (1970), the Murder, She Wrote episode "Doom with a View" (1987), as Barbara LeMay in an episode of The Twilight Zone (1989) and the Touched by an Angel episode "Charade" (1997). She guest-starred twice as different characters on both Fantasy Island and The Love Boat; in 1973, she appeared in the episode "Beginner's Luck" of the romantic anthology series Love Story.
Leigh appeared in two horror films with her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, playing a major role in The Fog (1980), and making a brief cameo appearance in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998). Her final film was Bad Girls from Valley High (2005).
Leigh is also the author of four books, her first, the memoir There Really Was a Hollywood (1984), became a New York Times bestseller. In 1995, she published the non-fiction book Psycho: Behind the Scenes of the Classic Thriller. In 1996, she published her first novel, House of Destiny, which explored the lives of two friends who forged an empire that would change the course of Hollywood's history, the book's success spawned a follow-up novel, The Dream Factory (2002), which was set in Hollywood during the height of the studio system.
Personal life[edit]
At age 15, Leigh married 18-year-old John Kenneth Carlisle in Reno, Nevada, on August 1, 1942,[20] the marriage was annulled four months later, on December 28, 1942.[20] She married Stanley Reames October 5, 1945 at the age of 18 and they were divorced on September 7, 1949.
On June 4, 1951, Leigh married actor Tony Curtis, they had two children, Kelly and Jamie Lee, who both subsequently became actresses. Curtis had divorce papers served to Leigh on the set of The Manchurian Candidate,[21] on September 15, 1962, shortly after it was finalized, Leigh married stockbroker Robert Brandt in Las Vegas. They remained married for 42 years until her death in 2004.
She served on the board of directors of the Motion Picture and Television Foundation, a medical-services provider for actors.
Leigh was awarded an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, on May 14, 2004. On October 13, 2006, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Curtis unveiled a bronze plaque of their mother to honor her early life in Stockton, the memorial is located in the downtown Stockton plaza adjacent to the City Center Cinemas, since renamed "Janet Leigh Plaza".
Leigh was honored posthumously by University of the Pacific with the naming of the "Janet Leigh Theatre" on the Stockton campus on June 25, 2010, the plaque at the theatre reads as follows "Pacific's Janet Leigh Theatre - Made possible by a generous gift from the Robert Brandt and Janet Leigh Brandt Estate. The Janet Leigh Theatre was created to bind the experiences and friendships that Janet Leigh valued while a student at Pacific, this memorial is a tribute to her life and career in the Stockton region as well as her magnificent contributions to the Hollywood film industry as an actress, wife, mother and humanitarian. Dedicated Friday, June 25, 2010."[22]
Leigh was a Democrat and appeared alongside Tony Curtis at the 1960 Democratic National Convention.[23]
Leigh died at her home in Los Angeles on October 3, 2004, at age 77, from vasculitis,[24] her body was cremated, and its ashes were interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.[25]

So I guess it's safe to say we're getting a "G.I. Joe 3", right?
You'd have to be a brain dead studio executive not to be sending director Jon Chu flowers this morning in the aftermath of Chu's "G.I Joe: Retaliation" retaliating to the tune of $132 million in worldwide box office, with over $51 million of that coming from Stateside moviegoers. This is quite the haul for the movie, which was delayed an entire year after it was originally set to hit theaters in 2012.
"Retaliation" easily took the top spot, beating out fellow studio newcomers "Tyler Perry's Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" (third place with $22 million) and "The Host", which opened out of the Top 5 at sixth place and $11 million. Based on the novel by "Twilight's" Stephenie Meyer, "The Host" didn't exactly prove to be a world-beater, and I think it's probably safe to say that Meyer is a one-trick pony, and that trick is named "Twilight". The bright side is that "The Host" only cost $40 million to make. So, you know, there's that.
Last week's #1, "The Croods" added $26.5 million, beating out Tyler Perry's latest for the second spot. The caveman animated movie that features the voices of Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds, has made a whopping $227 million worldwide so far in just two weeks of release.
Besides the fact that we're probably getting a "G.I. Joe 3", the fact that Jon Chu has directed a major hit probably means he'll be able to get whatever movie he wants to do next up and running post-haste. Which means … a "Masters of the Universe" movie, perhaps? He's certainly been talking it up enough.

After advancing to their first NCAA Tournament with their win in the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) Championship on Saturday, the University of Minnesota, Morris men's soccer team learned today that they will face off with Loras College in the first round.
The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) tournament champions and regular-season runner-up, Loras will be the first round host to Morris, with the two teams kicking off first-round play on Nov. 11 in Dubuque, Iowa.

And the tunes? Mick-Jiver! Heh, heh.
You won't tell any difference in performance on R/C with gear on top or bottom.
It is much safer for the equipment on top.
When you have no landing gear put the servos on top. Less damage.
If you were out to set speed records all your gear would be contained and aerodynamic for maximum speed.

I'm gathering up the material to build in Coroplast. Going to build one of each of these two under the tutelage of a saltly old coroplast builder and flier (Jerry_In_Maine).
63" advanced trainer - http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/Spadet/
52" Sport flier - http://www.spadtothebone.com/SPAD/SpadStick/
These are going to be electric of course. The material costs are quite a bit higher and some of it is harder to get. I think we'll have about $15-25 each in these just in the Coroplast because we were not able to come up with that for free or on the cheap up here in the wilds of Maine.
But it adds a whole new dimension to tough and durable I'm told. Like you can use them for driving fence posts when you're not flying. Or something like that anyway...
Time will tell!
And guess what? Neither of them will have a KF wing! But I'm already planning to fly them as designed for initial data collection and to get the feel of them. And them I can easily tape a piece of FFF to the wing tops to turn them in to a "Clark-Y converted to KFm2" comparison.
May have those ready to go within a month or so. Will needs skies on it of course, winter flying from frozen lakes, what a lovely venue.

Chord measure
I have wondered about this as well. my question is what about the motor/prop cutout on a pusher? I use the measurements without Elivones or motor cutout.
I put my servos on top and shallow for easy access. My biggest issues are getting that CG far enough forward.
Looks like you could build a seperate KFm wing later to interchange with the original.
Looks like you might have found a spot for the DAT-750 motor.
Those guys are both up in the 4-6 pounds range and calling for .40 to .46 fuelies so something up aroung 500 to 750 watts would compare better to the power needs there.
I think the DAT-750, at 200 Watts and 2.2 lbs of thrust could get the lighter of the two in the air OK but will be a short on power for winter flying in Maine or the occasional cheap too much power thrill.
I'm looking at the DAT-750 as being a candidate for ApachePilot's Divinity Millennium (still a work in progress, no plans yet). That will be 72" span but much lighter, maybe around 1.5 pounds or so the way I build. With the 750 Kv I think that DAT-750 will throttle back to 80-100 watts or so with a big slow fly prop and meet all my needs for the Millennium.
This OK-C3542-A is the leading candidate for the SpadStik, 127 grams/5 oz., Kv 1450, 4.4 lbs of thrust, and 400 watts or so:
That is a seldom found out of production motor, there is little or no data around for it, and it came to me for about $15 (too cheap to not buy it) via eBay. It cries out to be used though as it bench tested very nicely. Pretty frightening with a APC 10 X 6 on it.
The Spadet is bigger and a little heavier. I think I might invest in one of those cheap bigger (32-35mm or so) Turnigy motors that are getting good reports over on the fuel to electric conversion forum.
How about you? Is your's gainfully employed yet? I read a recent report that the motor shafts on those are turning out to be a little soft and bend easily. Some have been replacing them with 5mm shafts that are of better quality. That will be easy enough to do.
Initialy the chord measurements were to include the elevons, but by now you will realise that most of us have positioned the steps, measuring with and without the elevons, and whatever we do the steps work.. Ive also put mine at anywhere between 40-50% and its ok... also had steps that are 50 at the root and 40 at the tips..
The difference in positioning, luckily, is not critical and I would think that most of us could not feel any difference in the way the plane performs, providing the step goes somewhere near where it is suposed to.
Early tests to find the best location for the top steps KFm2 were made with a small glider model, no ailerons..these tests found the best glide was at 50%, so thats what we go with..however the little glider went ok at 40%.
And we fly power so will not notice small variations
Hopalong X Im interested in learning about the KF step, that is why all the questions. Also Im not going for perfection but it would be nice to know exacts even for RC.
For the majority of our builds here the drag from having the gear out and dirty wont be a problem.
If you are trying to get absolutly the best performance out of any design then enclosing the bits in a streamlined body or wing makes good sense.
As does getting the steps in the best positions. Or using the best airfoil section.
personal thought here... I like a cheap quick build so all of my designs/builds have the gear on top and I can swap componants with no trouble in seconds. I am not after the fastest of planes so any drag will help keep the plane at a reasonable speed. And the speeds I have been getting are plenty fast enough for where I fly. Most of the time I fly on half power and thats fast enough for me
Have you had a read through the other KF thread..here.. https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=558321
The info on variations in KF posiions and types are all laid out showing what has given the best results..Its a massive lot to go through but will give the best guide as to what does and what doesnt work..luckily for most of us the KF steps have almost always worked even when weve used the wrong locations and/or depths.. It is a forgiving airfoil, and since I started using it I now put a step or two on any wing, even deltas and circular shapes..I believe it benifits the wing and that helps me fly it better...Is that just psychological...or psycho

Let me wade in on this too!
It's real easy to use a soldering iron to make slots in the foam for the RC, ESC. I bury my gear when I have the placement where I figure it's right for the wire lengths and for a good CG. I make slits with a razor knife and push the servo wires into the foam. Motor wires are in a soldering-iron-slot. Tape goes over the top. I oversize the ESC a bit and over heating without good ventilation has not been a problem so far. I recess my servos and put them in straight up so I can get to the servo arm screw with a jewelers screwdriver and while mounting them on their sides is more aesthetically pleasing and a bit cleaner, it's not as convenient. Like Dave, I put everything on top. Slot and Velcro for the battery makes changing it out easy!
See before and after pictures.
I use a 50% KFm2 or 4 now on everything. In the % designation I include ailerons or elevons because that adds thickness to more of the wing for strength. Like Dave, I find the 10% or so difference in slot placement does not produce a noticeable difference in performance.
Dave you said using a stepped foil gives you a "Psychological" advantage. I believe it's real and I can't imagine the need for a conventional wing-form when the KFs provide so many advantages that have been demonstrated to my satisfaction in my own experience and in the comments others have made here. Other opinions may differ but they are all just plain wrong!! Aerodynamic theory to the contrary seems to abound but what works, works!
Happy Landings and Mabuhay to you all.
I had a few KFm's with a bottom step to far forward of CG, some with top steps to far aft of the CG. And at least one with both of these errors. This caused a nose down attitude when not under power.
My thinking was along conventional terms and wrong for the KF.
After reading a post from Apache Pilot the light bulb went on!
Now I am building with more attention to the vortex forces acting in conjunction with the CG.

Report on KFm with Four steps over Zero
Well here is yet another successful mod.
I have not computed the %"s but I have four steps basically as far forward as I could put them with at least 1.5" between. FFF with no spars or spacers.
I used an extended nose for the battery to get the CG @5" on just a 14 degree sweep. Here is an idea of the dimensions;
It flew and glided very well
My only complaint was with my first use of cables instead of control rods. I'll be going back to rods. I like the idea of standing them up to expose the control horn set screw. Thanks to Steve for the tip!
quote Flew the rebuilt FFF glider today. Much better than the EPP version. Glide was unbelievable. Thanks for all the input. Pics can be seen at the thumb wing thread.
a link please for us lazy people ...dave
Perhaps we should also post where not to stick a step...
When I said they mostly work, I meant with reasonable positions..A bit off here and there and the steps are still ok
I wouldnt for instance stick a KFm2 at 20% or 80% when the target location should be 50%.
Best always to be fairly accurate knowing what is required, but a bit moved here or there if needed is acceptable

Create custom brushes in Photoshop Elements
In this tutorial we'll show you how to convert your captures into custom Photoshop brushes that are ideal for creative editing or unique artwork prints.
Step 1 – Create a base
Begin by opening a new blank document (File> New> Blank file). Create a large brush so that it can be applied to larger files in the future – you can always reduce its size later. Select a Width of 2500 pixels and a Height of 2500 pixels, with a resolution of 300ppi. Set Grayscale for the Colour Mode and use a white background.
Step 2 – Add a filter effect
Open your photo in Elements and use the Quick Selection tool to make a selection of the camera. Create a cutout layer of the selection with Layer> New> Layer via copy. You can now add a filter effect to the layer, like glowing edges (Filter> Stylize> Glowing Edges) to create a more interesting brush stamp.
Step 3 – The brush
Drag the camera cutout layer over the blank document you made in step one. It automatically converts to grayscale. Using the anchor points around the new selection, hold the Shift key and drag the corner edges out so the camera fills the document. Now create the brush via Edit> Define Brush, then rename the brush and click OK.
Step 4 – Making a print
Making a print
Once you have made your brush you can create another new blank A4 document with RGB colour mode. Select the Brush tool from the Tools menu and select your retro camera brush from the options. Adjust the brush size and opacity. Now select a colour and begin stamping down on the page, changing the colour as you go.

Campbell real estate agent Robert Carrillo was convicted this week of five felony counts connected to multiple real estate fraud scams spanning three Bay Area counties, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.
The three scams for which Carrillo, 50, was charged involved six residential properties in Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Alameda counties. Three separate victims were each swindled out of more than $100,000 by Carrillo and his co-conspirator, Cesar Emilio Luna, who is still at large.
Carrillo entered pleas of no contest to charges of grand theft, forgery, and impersonation of a notary public in connection with the three property-flipping schemes.
In one scam, Carrillo stole a San Jose man's identity in order to acquire the titles to three residential properties in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties, according to the district attorney's office.
Carrillo and his cohort, Luna, placed their own fingerprints in a notary journal and forged the victim's signature in order to obtain loans for the properties under the victim's name.
In a separate incident, Carrillo convinced a victim in Cupertino to sign a letter authorizing the wrongful transfer of money to Luna. That victim unwittingly helped the men steal $73,200 in escrow on a property.
Carrillo also stole $45,000 from a Cupertino man through the unconsummated purchase of properties in Saratoga and Cupertino under the victim's name.
Carrillo will receive a one-year sentence in county jail as part of a negotiated settlement, but the length of his sentence could be reduced depending on the amount of restitution he pays to the victims by his Jan. 7, 2011 sentencing date.

Health Information
Am I Waking Up Too Early?
It's summer and everyone's waking up later than usual. Not me. I go to bed at 10 p.m. and sleep well, but I wake up at 7 a.m. and find it hard to fall asleep again. Why is this happening and should I do something about it?
– Lena
It sounds like there's no need for you to do anything differently. From what you say, you're getting enough sleep (most teens need between 8 and 10 hours each night) and you're sleeping well. In fact you're doing one of the best things you can do to get a restful night's sleep — going to bed at the same time every night. So you may naturally wake up at 7 a.m. because your body has had the right amount of sleep to meet its needs.
Not all teens wake up later in the summer. Many do because they stay up late or they have trouble falling asleep the night before. But some people wake up earlier in the summer because the sun rises earlier, making it harder to stay asleep.
Once summer vacation starts, lots of people have the luxury of sleeping in because there's no need to get up for school. But that doesn't mean everyone should sleep in. We all have different body clocks.
Morning is a great time to get things done. Instead of lying in bed trying to fall back to sleep when your body has had enough, get up and take advantage of the extra time. Fix a healthy breakfast, do your chores, or fit in some exercise with a walk, run, or bike ride.

text: Johannesburg - Former president Thabo Mbeki on Saturday said that he was still in contact with President Jacob Zuma, engaging in the country's political activities.Speaking in an interview on SABC News said that his handling of his recall as president of the country in 2008 was in the best interest of the republic."I am in contact with the President, president of the ANC and President of the Republic [of South Africa] comrade Jacob Zuma in terms of engagement in political activities in the country," he said."I've said this before that I think it is better for everybody, indeed that I handled that matter [his recall] in a sensitive way so that we don't do things which might destabilise [country] or anything like that."The ANC national executive committee recalled Mbeki from office before his term could expire, Vice-President Kgalema Mothlanthe took over as interim president between September 2008 and the April 2009 general elections.ResignationsHe was fired following Pietermaritzburg High Court Judge Chris Nicholson's ruling that Mbeki may have been involved in a political conspiracy against Zuma.The party had said that his recall was "an effort to heal and unite the African National Congress".Mbeki's recall was followed by numerous resignations by some of the ANC's heavy weights including Mosiuoa "Terror" Lekota, former Vice-president Phumzile Mlambo Ngcuka and former Gauteng Premier Mbazima and others, who later formed their own political party, Congress of the People (Cope).Speculation was rife that Mbeki was behind the founding of Cope which promised to become a major opposition to the ruling party.

Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki gets nasty gash on nose, responds with jab at NBA
Dirk Nowitzki was ticked off about the Dallas Mavericks' fourth loss in five games. But that didn't keep him from getting in a not-so-subtle jab at the NBA and the referee crew for Minnesota's 112-106 win Saturday night at AAC.
You've heard of no blood, no foul. This was blood, but no foul when Ricky Rubio's inadvertent elbow clipped Nowitzki on the bridge of the nose and opened up a nasty gash that had to be sealed up before Nowitzki could return.
Afterward, he could joke about it, sort of.
"I don't think it's broke, since it wasn't a foul," he said with a big grin. "I might get another flopping call from my boy Rod Thorn on Monday."
Thorn is the NBA's baskeball operations chief who administers fines and warning, like the one he gave to Nowitzki for a flop against Denver a week ago. Nowitzki also managed to get his point about to the reffing crew of Ed Malloy, Courtney Kirkland and rookie official Ben Taylor.
Nowitzki said he's surprised he doesn't have more issues with his schnoz.
"It's actually a miracle, my nose is so big, I don't hit it more often," he said. "I try to dodge it every night. It's a miracle I don't hit it."

lowther dx3 in sachico
hi all
is a lowther dx3 a good choice for the frugal horns sachico cabinets
i also have the veravox 7x and decware df8r and am hoping to try these as well
any other suggestions would also be welcome , frugal bruce maybe ?
Sachiko was superseded by the updated / revised Kirishima a few months ago. It's for the FE206En, but you can of course try other units at your own risk. I suspect the DX3 will work acceptably, but don't hold me or the cabinet responsible if you don't like the results. ;) Drive units ideally should go in cabinets that are designed for them. It does have raw size on its side, making it rather more flexible (within reason) than smaller enclosures.
Bruce was designed for the defunct FE207E, and is completely obsolete, like all the archived boxes, and will be removed when Dave has sufficient time to continue with the much needed revisions to the frugal-horn site. I wouldn't personally care to try a DX3 in it.
thanks scott
i have not seen the kirishima ,is it on the frugal site?
at least i can use the decware driver if all else fails as it is a modified 206e if i understand correctly
cheers Sheafer
*found the kirishima looks great many thanks *
Glad you found it. No, not on the FH site yet. Time is the problem.
Re archived, some already are. Trouble is that not all the old boxes are necessarily as capable as the new ones, and that the 'archive' moniker is often forgotten / missed. What we're hoping to do when time permits is pull all the old designs from the site, but still list them in the archive section as available on request.
I've built numerous blh horns for lowther and fostex....
I'm in Sydney, but recently provided earle weston in Vic with a pair of large horns.
I've enjoyed the dx3 in various configs.
hi Andrew ,from aslan ?
thanks for the responce .i dont know what to expect of horns as i have never heard any before (or lowther)
the dx3 does seem like a safe bet though many good reviews
do you think there would be much difference between the dx3 and decware df8r to justify the outlay ? iyho of course
anyway thanks for taking the time to answer my post
cheers Sheafer
No, not Andrew from Aslan....though I know him well.
I dabble in horns for Lowther, Tannoy, Altec etc.
Have built bass horns for GOTO...plus quite a few large Tannoy bass horns.
I started with full-rangers...and just went from there. At present, I'm enjoying my own built two-way 'klipsch' Cornscala's from Bob Crites.
Also building a massive bass horn based on the Bill Fitzmaurice design.
I can't comment on the Decwar/Fostex driver...though I appreciate where they are coming from, and the mods look excellent. Having had 206E's in many cabinets, I'd say any additional tweaking is good...on an already good driver...probably the best bang-for-buck driver around, IMHO.
The Lowther DX3 will give great overall presence/attack/detail.
On another thread here, you see my C-Horn, which provides for massive bass response for the 8-inchers.

The great leader and lawgiver of the Hebrews. He is the son of Amram, a Levite. Moses was born in Egypt, round 1571 BCE. The pharaoh's daughter found him in a wicker basket floating on the river and adopted him. At court he received a liberal education, but later fled to Midian. He was called to lead the Exodus. He died on Nebo, aged 120 years. He is the reputed author of the Pentateuch and Job.

I spent some time in Lucca a few weeks back. This was arguably the best dinner we had in the city—everything was well-prepared, using fresh ingredients, and for what it's worth, this place felt like the least touristy of everywhere we ate in the city. Here are some of the items that we ate:
I can't remember what this was filled with...maybe leeks and cheese? Crust was nice and flaky. This dish wasn't my personal favorite, but others really enjoyed it.
Really nice way to start the meal.
Very light, and was great for spreading on bread.
I can't remember much about this dish, unfortunately. But it was simple and good.
The meat fell off the bone easily, and was very tender. Again, a simple preparation, but very nicely done.
I haven't had this dish very much, so don't have much to compare it to, but I thought it was very good. Lots of tomato flavor, filling but not too heavy.
Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. I'm sorry I didn't take better notes to remember more about the dishes, but hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves.

Scholar translates Scriptures from Jesus' primary language to Arabic
A former monk/civil engineer/business manager, who now teaches Arabic at Baylor, has translated the New Testament for the first time into Arabic directly from what most scholars believe was Jesus' primary language.
Dr. Abdul-Massih Saadi, a lecturer in Arabic in Baylor's College of Arts and Sciences, said his 12-year undertaking has been "a good struggle" to translate the text into two versions -- Modern Standard Arabic as well as a colloquial Arabic dialect -- in the volume.
Saadi's 800-page project meant not only poring over original texts rather than the English of the King James Version or the New International Version, but also holding the colloquial Arabic version up for scrutiny by people ranging from educated to illiterate to be certain it meshed with the language they speak and understand -- including idioms.
"Our translation is the first Arabic Bible based on Eastern Bible tradition, namely the Syriac," said Saadi, who is from Aleppo, Syria. "Most unique in this project is the Colloquial Arabic Version, with the colloquial known as Mardini."
The term Syriac refers to one Aramaic dialect in which Christian literature was written. Evidence from the second century A.D. indicates Aramaic-speaking Christians undertook translating the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New Testament into Syriac, he said.
"The Syriac translation of the Greek New Testament restores many of Jesus' expressions in the language He spoke," Saadi said. "The Lord's Prayer, for instance, is as close as it possibly can be to the very words of Jesus Himself. It is natural to think that those early Aramaic-speaking Christians had memorized the Lord's Prayer in its original form and that the translators wrote their memorized Aramaic version as they were consulting the written version in Greek."
He said that Aramaic is "still a living language in Syria, Turkey and Iraq. Many Christian families there, including my wife's family and mine, speak it as their first language. There are even Muslims and Jews who speak it as their first language."
Saadi joined a monastic order at age 12 and spent 20 years there. He holds degrees in civil engineering, business management, theology and Eastern Christianity, and New Testament studies. He said that in 2002, God called him to marry and raise a family, and he has two sons. He taught at the University of Notre Dame before coming to Baylor.
"It would be very difficult to over-emphasize the scholarly and spiritual significance of this," said Dr. Heidi Bostic, chair of the Department of Modern and Foreign Languages in Baylor's College of Arts and Sciences. "Dr. Saadi's scholarly work, and indeed his own life story, highlight the significance of Arabic-speaking Christians around the world."

Aaah, heart-shaped cookies.
Is anything else quite so smarmy and cute?
Especially with you-know-what coming up soon.
I generally avoid V-Day, as a rule.
I am trying to formulate a really good reason why, but honestly I just don't care about one day a year overflowing with pink and sugary sweet tidings of love.
Give me any excuse to bake a cookie, though, and I will jump at the opportunity.
Last year it was chocolate sugar cookies.
Love. Love. Love playing in decorating sugar and novelty sprinkles.
This year we're going classy and upmarket with a monochromatic theme and an orange flower water and custard cream filling.
They may be hearts, but don't hold it against them, they're tasty cookies any time you want a little cute smarmy lovin'.
Orange Flower and Custard Cream Heart Cookies.
Inspired by Nigella Lawson's recipe from Feast.
Makes 18 custard heart sandwich cookies.
For the Custard Cookies.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Bird's Custard Powder*
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly
For the Orange Flower Custard Cream.
2 tablespoons Bird's Custard Powder*
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon orange flower water
* This is one of those British ingredients that we simply don't have an equivelent for here in the US. You can find Bird's Custard Powder online, and it's so useful to have around for instant gratification when you absolutely need to pour custard over cake or fruit right away...which happens more often than I'd like to admit around here.
You will need a food processor, a 2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, a rolling pin, and a cookie sheet lined with baking paper.
Mix the flour, custard powder and baking powder together and put into a food processor with the butter, cut into pieces, and the vegetable shortening, scooped in as spoonfulls. Pulse until combined and the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Add the sugar and pulse again, and with the processor running drizzle in the egg until the cookie dough comes together and clumps into a ball. You may not need to add all of the egg.
Put the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and press into a disk, then wrap completely and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes. The dough can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When ready to bake, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is approximately 1/4 inch thick. Dip the cookie cutter into flour and cut out a heart. Repeat as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Make an even number of hearts. You can make about 24 from the first episode of cookie cutting, and an additional 10 to 12 if you re-roll the remaining scraps in a second round. The dough will need to be refrigerated before you roll it out the second time.
Space the cookies about 1/2 inch apart on a baking paper-lined cookie sheet. You should be able to fit the first 24 on a single cookie tray. Bake additional cookies in a later batch.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the cookies are gently puffed and just starting to color.
Cool on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes, then remove gently to a rack to finish cooling.
To make the orange flower custard creme, mix the custard powder and confectioner's sugar and add to a food processor with the vegetable shortening. Process until you get a smooth creme, then add the orange flower water and pulse until combined.
When the cookies are completely cool, gently spread 3 to 4 teaspoons of the custard creme on the bottom side of a cookie, and wiggle a second cookie into place on top, bottom side onto the frosting. The cookies are very delicate, so avoid pressing forcefully or they may break.
Cookies can be stored at room temperature, and last for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container.

Mark Sanchez took a trip to the Jersey Shore on Tuesday and what he witnessed was so profound it made him feel a lot less panicked about the Jets' 3-5 record and on the precipice of falling from playoff contention.
Sanchez flew over areas of the shoreline which was devastated by Hurricane Sandy last week and met with first responders to the tragedy and was blown away by what he saw.
"I just did my best to take it all in, give myself some perspective on life,'' Sanchez said yesterday. "To me, my life is 3-5 and trying to fight through it and win games for the New York Jets, but there's also so much more. [I wanted to] stay positive with those guys and know through times of adversity, this is a strong state, a strong tri-state area that can bond together.
"It was inspiring. It was pretty incredible to see some of the effects of the hurricane. I got a chance to meet with some of the first responders. A couple of them had lost their homes and had family and friends lose their homes. We landed in Lakewood and did a flyover by the Jersey Shore by the boardwalk, saw Seaside Heights and Lavalette, the roller coaster in the water. It just looks awful.
"They're plowing sand like they're plowing snow pushing the sand to the end of the block and sand piles are built up taller than houses. We were flying over it and some of the guys were in tears, saying, 'Man, that's our life, we can't go back to that for another eight months.' And they were going to get up the next morning and keep trying to fix it.''

Kutcher proposes to Fox102005 living4Athens Banner-HeraldHOLLYWOOD - Ashton Kutcher has apparently gotten the last laugh on skeptics who might dub his marriage to Demi Moore a farce. He's turned their love into a sitcom.--> Kutcher proposes to Fox People By Scott Collins | Los Angeles Times | Story updated at 12:25 PM on Thursday, October 20, 2005 HOLLYWOOD - Ashton Kutcher has apparently gotten the last laugh on skeptics who might dub his marriage to Demi Moore a farce. He's turned their love into a sitcom.
The latest celebrity to spin his backstage life into a TV script, the former "That '70s Show" star has sold Fox an idea for a comedy series called "30-Year-Old Grandpa," executives say. It's about the complications that ensue when a young man becomes the stepfather to a brood of kids remarkably close to his own age, according to the trade paper Variety.
Sound familiar? In fact, given the amount of magazine pages devoted to the May-December romance between Kutcher, 27, and the 42-year-old Moore, the sitcom idea might not seem so novel.
But don't necessarily expect to see inside secrets of the Kutcher-Moore union, assuming there are any left to tell. The project, produced by Kutcher's Katalyst TV banner in association with 20th Century Fox Television, will be written by someone else (sitcom writer Holly Hester), and Fox has only committed to producing a pilot.
"This idea did spring out of his real-life situation," 20th Century Fox spokesman Chris Alexander said. But "how closely the script will adhere to the facts of his real-life situation remains to be seen."
What seems clear is that basing a script - however loosely - on a star's life can help pique the interest of network executives. "Everybody Hates Chris," based on the childhood experiences of Chris Rock, has strong numbers this season for UPN. Mel Gibson's experiences with raising a large family made their way into his (since-canceled) ABC sitcom "Savages," and Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith pitched their UPN sitcom "All of Us" as semiautobiographical.
Former Fox chief Sandy Grushow, who now runs the independent production company Phase Two Productions, said the trend is "a function of celebrities getting more involved and interested in television."

Guy Ritchie's fourth feature — the first since his ghastly remake of SWEPT AWAY (2002) — takes the larky Brit-gangster mannerisms of SNATCH (2000) and LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS (1998) down the rabbit hole and comes up twaddle with a body count. Eviscerated by the U.K. press when it opened in 2005, REVOLVER finally came to U.S. screens shorn of a subplot the writer-director deemed "confusing" but it's still pretentious and not half as clever as it thinks it is.
Professional gambler Jake Green (Ritchie regular Jason Statham, whose lank hairpiece and super-spiv wardrobe give him an eerie resemblance to Peter Stormare) took the fall for dirty casino owner Macha (Ray Liotta) and did his time in solitary, his cell sandwiched between those of a celebrated con man and a chess master. After seven years of passing messages back and forth between the crooked brainiacs, Jake masters a quasi-mystical formula for the con to end all cons, with which he intends to avenge himself. Jake strides into Macha's casino ready to put his plan into action, and then everything goes horribly wrong. Macha sics flunky French Paul (Terence Maynard) and stuttering assassin Sorter (Mark Strong) on Jake and his brother, Billy (Andrew Howard). Jake is told he has a rare blood disease and three days to live — is someone conning him? Who are Avi (Andre Benjamin) and Zach (Vincent Pastore), who say they can help, then force Jake to give them every cent he has, squander it on outrageously bad loans and then order him to collect from the piteous borrowers? Macha does a huge drug deal with legendary crime lord Sam Gold — Dr. Mabuse, Fu Manchu, Professor Moriarty and Fantomas all rolled into one — but loses the goods to Zeke and Avi. His efforts to replace the dope before Gold or his icy right hand, Lily Walker (Francesca Annis), realizes there's been a screw-up puts him on a collision course with psychotic Asian gangster Lord John (Tom Wu) and his minions. Avi and Zach manipulate the escalating gang war and torment Jake with gnomic pronouncements. Blood spatters, bones break, and bullets and spittle fly as Statham delivers a stead stream of hard-boiled philosophizing in voiceover.
Ritchie wraps this folderol in cinematic razzle-dazzle, including animated sequences, reverse motion, trompe l'oeil production design and tricky lighting. But it's still claptrap, no matter how many experts — from psychoanalyst Dr. Peter Fonagy to New Age windbag Deepak Chopra — show up as the end credits roll to explain the heavy ideas behind the silly mind games.

Song of Myself (excerpt)
It's the birthday of political cartoonist Jeff MacNelly, born in New York City (1947). He began drawing for the Richmond News Leader, and, by 1981, was such a success he quit cartooning to enjoy his pastime of painting watercolors. But he missed the action and resumed the next year, drawing 3 cartoons a week for the Chicago Tribune. He also draws the comic strip Shoe.
It's the birthday of novelist Ken Kesey, born in La Junta, Colorado (1935)--whose first and best-known novel is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. At a California veterans hospital, Kesey had been a paid volunteer in an experiment for which he took mind-altering drugs and reported their effects. He also worked as an aide at the hospital, which gave him empathy for its mental patients--some of whom, like Randle Patrick McMurphy in his novel, were less insane than some of the people taking care of them.
It's the birthday of country music legend Hank Williams, born in Georgiana, Alabama (1923), who received his first guitar at the age of 8. He died on New Years Day, 1953, in the back seat of a Cadillac, 29 years old.
It's the birthday of British mystery writer John Creasey, born in Southfields, Surrey (1908). He wrote most of his 600 books under a variety of other names, including Abel Mann, Norman Deane, and Charles Hogarth--the most prolific writer of crime fiction in the English language.
It's the birthday of doctor and poet William Carlos Williams, born in Rutherford, New Jersey (1883). He practiced medicine for 40 years--saw a million and a half patients, and delivered 2,000 babies--and all the while wrote verse, novels, essays, short stories, plays, an opera libretto--and the 5-volume verse narrative Paterson.
Today is the anniversary of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War--called the Battle of Antietam by the Union side, Sharpsburg by the Confederates (1862). Badly outnumbered, General Lee made his stand in Maryland. McClellan attacked, using Union troops piecemeal, and failing to bring up his reserves. 25,000 men were killed or wounded, but Lee's forces held. After the battle a Pennsylvania soldier wrote, "No tongue can tell, no mind conceive, no pen portray the horrible sights I witnessed this morning."
Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.®

Why on earth would you want to take ownership of "System Volume Information" and make a folder in it?

Dwight Anderson just cant help himself: Hes a serial mouthpiece.
And while the animated Stamps cornerback prides himself on keeping his nonsensical trash talk between the lines, Wednesday he stepped over them.
Screw them, declared the eloquent 28-year-old without provocation.
Screw everything about Saskatchewan. I dont care. Its that time of year I dont got any love on for anyone. Im going to smack somebody around.
For those unfamiliar with No. 33s act, hes akin to that magpie outside your bedroom window on Saturday morning, abhorred by all for continually squawking.
After breaking up plays, batting down passes or making a big hit things he does better than almost anyone in the league he can often be seen preening towards the opposing sideline while hurling insults.
Hes Nik Lewis on defence.
And while his act disgusts the majority of fans at home or on the road, hes determined to continue down a path far too many athletes follow these days the self-aggrandizing types who celebrate everything.
It is, he says, what helps make him a great player.
Quite frankly, hell have to be great this weekend if the Stamps have any shot at winning the west final with their first win of the season over Saskatchewan.
And that means hell be even more verbose than he was last week against Edmonton when he spent most of the afternoon taunting Eskimos players and coaches on the sideline. It got so bad late in the game, teammate John Eubanks ran over seconds before a snap to interrupt Andersons verbal volleys and ensure he knew the play call.
I didnt know if he got the play call because D.A. was doing what D.A. does, laughed Eubanks.
It doesnt matter if they cant hear him, hell still keep talking and then make his point with his play.
Expect even more such antics this weekend given the crowd, the opponent and the fact Anderson admitted he was furious at being overlooked as a league all-star Wednesday.
The bigger the game, the more words thatll come out of me, promised Anderson, a husband and father of three.
The offence is more pretty boy style the defence is more down and gritty. You get a little nastier on the defensive side. Nik might throw a little joke or something but Im not with that. Im trying to hurt you.
His diatribe Wednesday came minutes before head coach John Hufnagel praised the star defender for limiting his never-ending stream of inanities to the playing field.
Since Dwight has been here, I really havent read anything in the paper that hes said his stuff is on the field during the game, said Hufnagel, who wont be happy to see Andersons comments splashed across the front of the Sun Thursday.
Thats just the way he plays football. But hes just one of 11 other guys out there talking thats part of the game. Some people do more than others.
Having said in the past hed rather have to reign a guy like Anderson in as opposed to getting him fired up, Hufnagel was asked why he pulled Anderson aside during the Edmonton game.
Yeah, he was talking to the wrong people, smiled Hufnagel, referring to the officials.
I havent got a penalty for it all year, insisted Anderson.
The refs are right there and they understand. If I was going over the line Im pretty sure the sideline judge would throw flags. Hey, I just live up to the bad boy mentality. Ive been doing it my whole career and it aint ever gonna stop.
Not even with 31,000 Roughriders fans roaring at the provinces social event of the decade.
Ill make sure theyll hear it because Ill get in their ears, he promised.
Its football man. The football might look crazy to reporters and everybody but thats football. At the end of the day were going to line up man to man and see who wins.
And see if Anderson has anything to say afterwards.

hey guys,
I found a large zip file online with a bunch of .png covers and i can put them on my sd card and add it to the game in uloader just fine.
however, if i took an image online, re-saved it so it's a png file, make sure the size is small like 160x225px or something, but it will NOT be recognized when i try to add it in uloader
what's the deal? what do I need to do?
do i need to do something special to the image to get it to show up? thanks.
Last edited by deucelee; 11-24-2011 at 05:45 AM.
what i mean is, when i go add the cover, it shows up as blank. the other covers that i got in the zip file called "472_NTSC_Covers_160x225_Kosaic" works just fine.

Dalai Lama to speak to 15,000 students at UMD
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - The Dalai Lama will deliver a lecture to a sold-out crowd of 15,000 at the University of Maryland in College Park.
The university says the Tibetan spiritual leader will speak Tuesday. He will deliver the annual Sadat Lecture for Peace at the school's Comcast Center. Tickets to the event sold out within minutes after the speech was announced in February.
The university says the annual lecture series is part of its Anwar Sadat Chair for Peace and Development program. Previous speakers have included former Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan and anti-apartheid leader and former South African president Nelson Mandela.

Can Fear Win Undecided Voters? Psychologists Say Maybe Not
By BENEDICT CAREY
Published: October 5, 2004
For all the policy differences it revealed, the presidential debate last week also highlighted what has become a predominant theme in this presidential campaign: fear.
President Bush implied that Senator John Kerry's ''mixed message'' on Iraq would only encourage the enemy. Mr. Kerry warned that Mr. Bush's ''certainty'' could needlessly extend a bloody occupation.
Each side hopes that fear of a future shaped by the opposing candidate will help win over undecided voters.
Yet psychologists who study the effect of emotion on voting behavior say that undecided voters are the least likely to respond to fear as a persuasion tactic.
In fact, new research suggests that it is the politically informed partisan voter who is most susceptible to persuasion by fear and anxiety. Voters who are truly undecided, many political scientists argue, are not so much torn between the candidates as tuned out, and they do not feel strongly enough about issues to be swayed by threatening messages.
''If the campaigns want to shake out more support, win over these voters, fear is one way they can do to it,'' said Dr. Ted Brader, a University of Michigan political scientist who studies political advertisements, ''but the dollars may be better spent on ads that rally support among their own base.''
Although campaign consultants have long known that scare tactics can win votes, it is only recently that psychologists and political scientists have devised studies to find out whose votes they win, and why. Some researchers have sifted through nationwide polling data, before and after elections, looking for relationships between anxiety levels and changes in voting behavior.
Others have conducted experiments comparing the effects of commercials not only on people's opinions but on how they actually engage political issues and assess candidates. The study of emotion, said Dr. Arthur Lupia of the University of Michigan, ''has become all the rage in political science.''
In studies, Dr. Brader and other researchers have found that advertisements using fear worked best among the ''sophisticated'' voters, who surveys showed tended to be partisan and well informed.
''The conventional wisdom is that politicians use these kinds of ads to prey on the uninformed masses,'' Dr. Brader said. ''I found that that could not be less true.''
In one study, accepted for publication by The American Journal of Political Science, Dr. Brader tested the effect of a variety of campaign advertisements on 286 Massachusetts voters during a recent campaign for governor. They represented a cross section of the state's voters, and they viewed the political spots as they would at home, during commercial breaks in other shows.
The advertisements were clearly partisan, intended to stir anxiety about issues like crime and education, in some cases by stating that things were bad, in others by adding to the same message ominous music and grainy images intended to stir fear.
Dr. Brader found that among sophisticated voters who viewed the threatening advertisements, about 26 percent said they would change their votes in favor of the candidate promoted in the commercial. (Another 8 percent or so said they would switch their votes in the opposite direction.)
Among less savvy voters, only 13 percent said they would change their votes to favor the advertised candidate (13 percent switched their vote the other way). Sophisticated voters who saw the fear-based ads were also more likely than less informed voters to read about the issues raised.
Dr. Brader cautioned that the large percentage of voters who changed sides partly reflected the isolated conditions of the lab; in the real world, where people see streams of conflicting messages, the effect was likely to be more muted. Still, in another just-completed study of advertisements on immigration, Dr. Brader and a colleague, Dr. Nicholas Valentino, found a similar effect.
Fear campaigns are as old as democracy, but they came of age in the postwar era of mass media advertising. In the famous ''daisy'' advertisement, used by President Lyndon B. Johnson against Barry Goldwater in 1964, images of a girl picking petals from a flower dissolved into a nuclear explosion.
Twenty years later, in the classic ''bear'' ad promoting President Ronald Reagan, a bear made its way through a field toward a lone person, while a narrator warned: ''Some people say the bear is tame. Others say it's vicious and dangerous. Since we can never really be sure who's right, isn't it smart to be as strong as the bear?''
Perhaps the most infamous use of fear was a 1988 advertisement used to attack Gov. Michael Dukakis, the Democratic nominee. It showed a mug shot of a convicted murderer, Willie Horton, who attacked a couple while he was on prison furlough in Massachusetts, Mr. Dukakis's home state.
Since then, both Democrats and Republicans have run campaigns intended to scare Americans into thinking that their health care benefits were under siege by meddling socialists or greedy capitalists.
In the current campaign, waged at a time of terror abroad and government warnings at home, security threats, blending death and uncertainty, create a receptive audience for fear-based messages.
Unconscious reminders of death can prompt anger, and a subtle hardening of political views, studies have found.
