Following lead singer Gord Downie's brain cancer diagnoses and The Tragically Hip's last show, the band has teamed up with Toronto's Sunnybrook Hospital to raise money for brain cancer research.
Sunnybrook is the hospital treating Gord Downie and the staff created a tribute video for him!
If you haven't seen it, there's footage from The Hip's last show coming out now and the video of Downie crying with fans is heart wrenching.

The ongoing strike by FEFSI workers and employees demanding hike in wages has forced the cancellation of ace director Gautham Menon's Needhanae En Ponvasantham (NEP). The film brings together for the first time on-screen the talented duo of Jiiva and Samantha. Though Samantha had earlier starred in Menon's Vinnai Thandi Varuvaaya in a small role, this is her first major film as heroine after Baana Kadhadi.
The FEFSI union and its affiliated bodies have been waging their struggle demanding hike in wages for the past ten days. They even underwent a day-long fast in Chennai recently in order to ensure that the local government engaged them in talks to resolve the issue. The Labour Commission then called them over for a round of talks which is likely to continue today also.
In the mean time, Menon was to hold the shooting schedule of his NEP at Hyderabad. The shoot was, however, cancelled at the very last moment due to the protest by FEFSI. The film is being made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu apparently to cash in on Samantha's popularity in Tollywood. Menon had requested the film employees based in Telugu to cooperate with him to hold the shooting as it was only for the Telugu version of the film.
However, the film union employees had reportedly told him in plain terms that they won't be taking part or helping him to hold the shooting. "Our counterparts in Chennai and elsewhere have been protesting for their wages for the pat many days. In this backdrop, it won't be proper for us to render assistance to hold the film's shooting as it would tantamount to betraying their interests," they had categorically told Menon.
Following this, Menon had no other go but to cancel the film's shooting schedule.

I stopped watching the Oscars years ago, honestly my Oscar hatred first began burning when Cuba Gooding won the Oscar for best supporting actor over William H. Macy for FARGO. Every year there are a couple of nominations that make sense, but pretty much it is the same thing over and over again; the more popular they are the better chance of a nomination (Julia Roberts anyone?). Now before we delve into my list I have to admit that I have not seen any of the films on the list this year; the next few weeks are gonna be busy, so I cannot speak to their nominations or the lack thereof. So my list will focus on performances and movies from the past years and my personal thoughts on those. So here are my choices for of the top ten Oscar snubs of all time (or least my time).
Mila Kunis-Black Swan (supporting)
Without Mila's character there was no movie. Portman got all the attention for this one, but I felt that Kunis's performance was just as compelling and her chilling turn as Lilly was a big reason behind the film's success; yet no recognition from the Oscars.
Peter O'Toole - EVERYTHING
Lawrence of Arabia, Becket, The Lion in Winter, take your pick. Peter O'Toole was arguably one of the most talented actors of all time, how is it that Cuba Gooding has a statue but O'Toole only rates an honorary mention with the academy?
Denzel Washington - Philadelphia (Supporting)
I think it is hard to argue against the fact that this was Tom Hanks' movie. But it was Washington that had the more difficult task. He had to coerce the audience, very gently, into realizing that his character fears and ignorance were our own. And then bring us along the path of enlightenment to realizing how wrong we really were.
Gary Oldman - Sid and Nancy (Lead)
I can't think of anyone else in Hollywood that could've pulled off the infamous Sid Vicious, then or now. You have to remember that Sid and Nancy came out well before audiences recognized Oldman's ability to disappear into whatever character the script requires. His portrayal of Sid Vicious was honest, fun and depressing all at once, never before have we seen such a haunting portrayal of a rock-n-roll suicide.
John Cazale - The Godfather Part 2 (supporting)
Sure, The Godfather trilogy is all about Michael's rise; but what about the Fredo, poor Fredo. This character could have easily been a pitiable, depressing character, but Cazale never plays him like that. He's awkward and sweet and wants nothing but the old days back again. When he does confess to betraying his brother we see the resentment of a child who feels that he never got his dues. Thanks to Cazale, a possibly insignificant character was actually one of my favorites in the films.
Shawshank Redemption (Best Picture)
I get it…Forrest Gump was fun, tons of witty crap to poke fun at. But was it really better than Shawshank, I don't think so. It was perfectly cast, the music was another character and it was beautifully filmed, acted and flawlessly paced. It was clear that it was directed by someone who loved the original story (by Stephen king) and wanted to share his love of the film and characters with the audience. Gump on the other hand, although just as well cast and entertaining, relied more on special effects and tugging on nostalgic heart strings to pull in its statue.
Ralph Fiennes - Schindler's List
His portrayal of psycho Nazi Amon Goeth was chilling, the balcony scene is still one of the most disturbing scenes in my mind form the film. However the academy felt that Tommy Lee Jones's Sam Gerrad from The Fugitive deserved the Oscar. Don't get me wrong, I love The Fugitive and I love Tommy Lee Jones, but his performance is minor compared to what Fiennes did in Schindler's List. Let's be honest, Tommy Lee Jones has played that character before and has since.
Edward Norton - Primal Fear (Supporting)/American History X(lead).
Does anyone out there truly believe that Cuba Gooding's performance in Jerry Maguire was better than what Norton pulled off in Primal Fear?...or William H. Macy in FARGO for that matter, I didn't think so. Now I'll admit in 1998 Norton had some tough competition. Tom Hanks for Saving Private Ryan and Ian McKellen for Gods and Monsters to name a few, but in the end it was that little Italian dude from Life is Beautiful that stole his Oscar. Think about that one for a minute, let it work on you…This was the year I officially gave up on the Oscars.
Cate Blanchett - Elizabeth (lead)
I dig Shakespeare in Love, it was a fun movie, and I will freely admit that after watching it I wanted to fall in love with Viola (Gwenyth). But in the end it was Gwenyth playing a character. But Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth was mesmerizing, powerful; she was Queen Elizabeth. You lived through what Elizabeth experienced; you did not just watch it. And yes, when I walked out of that theatre I had a total boner for the Virgin queen.
Robert Downey Jr - Less Than Zero
I had only seen Robert Downey Jr. in two other films before I saw Less Than Zero; Weird Science and Back to School. I figured if he was in it, it might be a fun flick. Well, lesson learned. Throughout the film we watch Julian's free fall into hell, and we actually feel sorry him. Even though we know that he has brought this pain onto himself. His performance his brutal and the last 30 minutes alone are like punch in the gut. Downey's performance was, in my humble opinion, one of the most honest and painful performances I've witnessed in my lifetime.
So there it is, my personal picks for performances (and one movie) that should have gotten at least a nomination if not the little golden statue. What performance/film do you think was snubbed this year or in the past?

Renton Collision Center
Review for Renton Collision Center
Emily H. on 07/11/2012
Emily said the auto body work this business performed was wonderful. This business detailed her vehicle inside and out. She said she was upset with the customer service at this establishment. The lady at the desk was unprofessional. She thinks her name is Tracy. Tracy was forceful in trying to get more business out of her. Emily said Tracy messed up the rental car and blamed her for it. However, the rest of the representatives were good.

Please tell us:
- what the problem is
- where the problem is, eg outside 15 Blank Street
It is normal for standing water to be visible in the hole. This does not indicate a blockage.
Clean & clear drains
We are inspecting and repairing Sheffield's flood prone road drains.
Between 2012 and 2017 we will:
- carry out over 100 schemes to improve drainage across the city
- replace 3,000 sub-standard gullies
- a further 3,000 sub-standard gullies will be replaced after 2017
Drain cleaning
All 72,000 drains across Sheffield will be cleaned with the first year. After this cleaning is scheduled on a priority basis.
Prioritising blocked drains
We prioritise issues based on the following:
- nature of the blockage
- frequency of flooding
- type of road and its traffic
Flooding across a busy road takes priority over a residential street given the potential for disruption and danger to motorists and pedestrians.
Parked cars stop us unblocking drains
Parked cars often prevent us from cleaning drains. So we aim to give you as much advance notice as possible using temporary road signs that will inform you when we need to clean those in your area.
We can get our works completed quicker, if you:
- pay attention to our signs
- avoid parking over the drains
- find alternative parking until the cleaning has finished
Road drains (gullies) maintenance & cleaning
Facts & figures
We are responsible for maintaining and cleaning over 72,000 road drains.
Keeping them clean & clear
We are responsible for cleaning all road drains in the city at least once annually and to have at least 95% of them clear at any one time.
This is so that Sheffield's drainage system can receive and remove surface water running from roads.
We will clean all blocked drains reported to us provided we can gain access.
What we are not responsible for
Public sewers or raw sewage
This is the responsibility of Yorkshire Water or Severn Trent Water depending on the area of the city.
Major river related problems
Contact the Environment Agency.

The present invention relates to a method for use in connection with an implant for bone and/or tissue structure, for example dentine, and ensuring delivery of bioactive substance to the structure during all or part of the period of incorporation of the implant. The invention also relates to an arrangement and use of such an implant and such delivery.
In connection with implants, it is already known to use various types of bioactive substances intended to improve the incorporation of the implant in the bone or tissue in question. Thus, for example, it may be desirable to use a substance belonging to the superfamily TGF-β, for example so-called BMP (Bone Morphogenetic Proteins) in order to initiate and stimulate bone growth. Reference may be made here to patent publications WO 95/33502, WO 96/40014 and WO 98/17330, among others.
Implants and implant elements and methods for permanent anchoring in mineralized tissue have been known for a long time. To prevent the implant from coming loose, it is important to establish direct contact (i.e. direct application) between the outer surface of the implant or implant element and the surrounding body tissue. When direct application has indeed been established, the implant is stable, and so-called osseointegration can be obtained. Direct contact between the surface of the implant element and the bone tissue can be obtained by means of a suitable implant structure and refined surgical technique. The principle of osseointegration has been developed by Professor Bránemark et al. and has been used successfully in the treatment of edentulous patients with dental implants for many years.
The treatment of edentulous patients usually includes careful patient selection, a detailed surgical protocol, and careful planning of the prosthetic constructions which are to be used. The most successful clinical results have been achieved after treatment of patients with tight, compact bone in which it is fairly easy to obtain stable fixation of the implant. However, less successful results have been reported after treatment in bone of softer quality. The difficulties have manifested themselves in the break-up of a stable implant fixation. Various methods have been proposed to overcome these difficulties. These methods generally involve using additional new means for implant surfaces, for example coating with hydroxyapatite, or preparation of implant surface irregularities which have been judged to improve the implant fixation. Very little is in fact known of the relative importance of implant geometry, chemical surface properties and surface irregularities. However, implant geometry probably plays an important role, since it has a strong influence on the load distribution in the tissue surrounding the implant body.
Running parallel with the development of different types of implants, investigations have been conducted with the aim of characterizing the interaction of cells and cellular molecules in living tissue. Detailed analysis of the interaction at the cellular and molecular level has been found to be fundamental for the development of the modern pharmaceutical industry and genetic engineering. However, such knowledge could also be successfully used in the development of load-bearing implants in bone. When the mechanisms of interaction are known, it may be possible to act on the processes of interaction and the possibilities of stimulating bone growth and increasing bone density and bone volume in or at the implant site in the body. This is often a precondition for stable implant fixation in less than optimal circumstances with soft bone qualities.
A particular example of acting on bone growth and increasing bone density is the use, as mentioned above, of bioactive substances. Growth factors can stimulate bone growth in a known manner, provided that they are released into the surrounding tissue at a sufficient concentration and speed for a fairly long period of time after their introduction.
Insofar as reference is made to the said Bránemark system, reference may also be made, inter alia, to European Patent Application 95102381.1 (676179).
Implants as such are already very well known and are commercially available in large numbers and in many different ranges. Implants which are relevant in this context are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,960,301, as well as implants which are shown in the publication "Oral Implantology" which relates to "ITI Hollow Cylinder System", published 1991 by Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart and New York.
Studying and/or acting on the anchoring of implants in living biological tissues under variable conditions, especially in the form of reaction to locally applied substances, is the subject of European Patent Specification 720833. This arrangement comprises an anchoring element which is to be incorporated in the tissue. It has a central recess in the form of a depot for the substance in question. The surface of the anchoring element adjoining the tissue consists entirely or partially of penetrable material or "filter" which allows the applied substance to diffuse out onto the implant surface, or into the biological fluid around the implant surface, from a central recess. Although it is stated that such an anchoring element would simulate clinically produced implants with respect to material and/or surface properties, implantation positions and surgical technique, it must be appreciated that this type of anchoring element, with its depot for providing the substance and with a separate filter element, is less attractive for permanent anchoring when it is used as a conventional implant element. Specifically, the introduction of the active substance in solid form or liquid form in a specific depot and a filter element, through which the active substance is allowed to diffuse, is less suitable and means that this type of implant arrangement is more suited for test purposes than for long-term clinical use.
In connection with implants of the type in question, it is important to establish an appropriate substance layer function at and in connection with the implant. The main object of the invention is to solve this problem, among others.
It is important to be able to use tried and tested experience with proven and effective implant structures without essentially affecting these in other respects. The invention solves this problem too.
In connection with clinically well-designed implants, it is important to be able to achieve an effective use and release function for the bioactive substance in question, all of which substance must be able to be used effectively. In various designs, it is also important to be able to control the release function during the incorporation process, for example so that an initially high release function is available during a first time period and a lower release function is obtained during a second time period, or vice versa. The variations in question must be able to be effected by choice of differently structured implants in terms of the support function for the bioactive substance arranged in the respective implant. The invention solves this set of problems too.
One object of the invention is thus to combine the properties of clinically efficient implant elements and clinically efficient supports for growth factors, by modifying the geometry of existing implant elements in order to obtain secure containment of the substance in the element. Such a novel implant element can permit rapid incorporation of surrounding tissue and stable fixation even in non-optimal bone qualities, and it does this by virtue of the stimulation activity from the growth factors which are released from the support or body.
A further object of the invention is to make available an implant element with an external structure which is similar to or corresponds to the clinically efficient implant elements, so-called fixtures, which permit positioning of efficient supports or bodies with respective growth factors and a sought release of these growth factors into the tissue which is stored in the body of the implant element. Such a combination of implant element and support permits stimulation of bone growth in the tissue surrounding the implant element and also rapid incorporation and stable fixation of the implant elements in mineralized tissue.
The features which can principally be regarded as characterizing a method according to the invention are that the implant is designed with an internal space and, if appropriate, one or more channels and/or recesses leading from the internal space to the outside or outside part of the implant facing towards the structure, that one or more bodies comprising the bioactive substance are designed to cooperate with the bone and/or tissue structure surrounding the implant so as to be able to release the bioactive substance to the said surrounding structure. Further characteristics are that the said body or bodies is/are applied in the said space and, if appropriate, also in one or more of the said channels and/or recesses, in order thereby to be exposed to the said surrounding structure and deliver the bioactive substance to the latter during the said period.
An arrangement according to the invention can principally be regarded as being characterized in that the implant is designed with one or more internal spaces and, if appropriate, one or more channels or recesses which lead from the internal space or spaces to the outside of the implant. Further characteristics are that one or more bodies comprising the bioactive substance are designed to cooperate with the surrounding bone and/or tissue structure so as to release the bioactive substance to the surrounding structure, and that the body or bodies is/are assigned a position or positions in the space or spaces in which they are exposed for the said cooperation and release directly or via the said channel(s) or recess(es).
In one embodiment, each body is in the form of a spongy body or cloth saturated in or treated with the bioactive substance. Alternatively, the body can be in the form of a gel which comprises the bioactive substance. The spongy body, the cloth or the gel has a softness which permits distinct application in the space concerned while at the same time ensuring that it is held in place by frictional cooperation, adhesive cooperation, etc., with the wall of the respective space. In a preferred embodiment, the implant or implant element has clinically effective geometrical properties, for example in the shape of a cylindrical or conical solid with an outer surface which is in direct contact with the surrounding body tissue.
The bioactive substance can be a substance belonging to the superfamily TGF-β. In a preferred embodiment, the implant element has a threaded outer surface and a conically narrowing part. The latter part has an open section with an axial hole or recess for the said support or body. The hole or recess is open towards the end surface of the conical part. One or more through-holes communicate with the said axial holes and extend radially through the implant body part at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the implant in order to permit direct release of bioactive substance from the said support through the said holes or openings.
The internal space in question can thus comprise a mouth part or recess part with identical cross-sectional areas, and the body or support can fill both the internal space and the recess.
In one embodiment, the said axial hole can extend from the conical part through the main part of the implant body in order to permit release of growth factors along the length of the implant body through a suitable number of holes, channels and/or recesses in the wall of the implant element. The design and structure of the body/support or bodies/supports are chosen on the basis of a predetermined or anticipated release function. A first body can assume a first position in which the first body is arranged with a first degree of exposure, and a second body assumes a second position in which the second body has a second degree of exposure less than the first degree of exposure, or vice versa, for the purpose of permitting a controlled or optimum release function for the bioactive substance in question.
Alternatively, each body can be arranged in such a way that, in the said cooperation and release function, it varies the degree of release of the bioactive substance during the release period and, for example, effects a greater degree of release at the start of the period, or vice versa. In a further embodiment of the element, the design(s) or extent(s) of the space or spaces and any associated channels or recesses are chosen on the basis of a predetermined or anticipated release function. The channels or recesses can be arranged with different cross-sectional areas and/or extents, which means that different parts of the same body or different bodies are subject to different degrees of exposure in the release function, for the purpose of permitting a controlled or optimum release function for the implant situation in question. In a further embodiment, two bodies can be situated at a distance from each other inside the implant or implant element in order to serve different parts of the surrounding bone and/or tissue structure. The body can be absorbable in association with the release of substance. The body (bodies) can first be applied in the space and thereafter saturated with substance, which saturation can be effected with substance at different concentrations and/or quantities for the purpose of achieving a predetermined or anticipated release function.
A use according to the invention can principally be regarded as being characterized in that the implant is used to support, in one or more internal spaces, one or more bodies comprising the bioactive substance, and, via possible attachments to the space or spaces, to expose the body or bodies in order to release the bioactive substance to the surrounding bone and/or tissue structure.
By means of what has been proposed above, a novel aid is obtained for use in surgery for the purpose of obtaining effective incorporation processes in tissue, for example bone tissue. An implant according to the invention, provided with support(s) or body (bodies), can be made commercially available. Alternatively, the implant and support/body/bodies can be made available separately and joined together in situ by the person concerned, for example the surgeon. Various types of supports with different release functions and release times can be included within one range. Various types of implants or implant elements with different systems of channels and internal spaces can be made available in order to permit different release functions and release times. In addition, each body can be saturated with substance in a different quantity and/or concentration. Well-proven surgical procedures, substances and implant designs can be used in different implantation situations, which can include implantation in hard or soft dentine.
A presently proposed embodiment of a method, arrangement and use according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings, in which
The implant element according to
The width dimension D of the body part of the implant fixture is in the range of 3.7 mm to 6.0 mm. In this illustrative embodiment, D is about 5.0 mm, and the length of the implant fixture is about 10 mm. The diameter d of the axial hole 43 is 3 mm, and the depth is 4 mm. The transverse hole 44 has a diameter of 2 mm, and the holes are drilled through the implant body. The threaded inner hole 42 for the Bránemark Systems implant fixture which is used in this particular example is 6 mm in depth along the implant axis. The inner hole 42 thus sets a limit for the maximum possible depth of the 3 mm axial hole 43.
Compared with the standardized Bránemark System® implant fixture, and also compared with other known implant fixtures of this type available on the market, the main modification in the illustrated implant fixture lies in the axial opening or hole 43. The geometric limitation on this hole is defined by the implant diameter D and the depth of the inner hole 42. The minimum depth of the hole 43 is preferably not less than 1.5×the hole diameter. However, a factor of 1.25 is used in many successful clinical cases.
A modification of the implant fixture according to
Collagen sponge materials in the form of bands, strips, blades or the like with different thicknesses and qualities are available on the market. A punch (not shown) is used to make bodies from the sponge material, in this case circular units with a diameter matching the diameter d of the axial hole 43.
The collagen part is fitted by hand into the hole 43 of diameter 3 mm in the implant body. A number of tests have been carried out to obtain reliable fixing of the sponge, in which tests the sponge was either dry or saturated with bioactive substance. These tests showed that the diameter dsp ought to be in the range of 3.0 mm <dsp>3.2 mm, both in the dry state and in the wet state.
The secure fixing of the sponge thus makes it possible for liquid containing growth factors to be added to the sponge after the latter has been fitted in the axial hole 43. The modified design of the implant makes it possible to release growth factors through the three holes or openings shown, namely the axial opening 43 and the two perpendicular openings 44. In accordance with the chosen terminology used in the attached patent claims, the recess or hole 43 constitutes an inner space for the body or support. The outer part of the space 43 can be regarded as constituting a channel adjacent to the actual space. In the present case according to
As the growth factors are released to the surrounding bone or surrounding tissue in accordance with the above, it stimulates bone growth or bone growth introduction in the area of the implant. As the collagen sponge is absorbable in itself, it is replaced by newly formed bone within the implant during the absorption process.
As regards the growth factors or the biological substances, these are applied to the sponge in the form of a liquid. A conventional injection instrument or hand pump instrument can be used to apply the desired quantity of liquid to the sponge. As regards the BMP mentioned earlier, this is a human protein which stimulates bone growth and is an example of the growth factors which can be used in the present invention. In particular, it is possible to use known growth factors of the types BMP 2 and BMP 4 which have been identified by the Genetics Institute INC as being suitable in this case. Suitable doses can be obtained from combined systems of implants and sponges with added substance, depending on the status of the bone in the implantation site, which can vary considerably from one case to another. Different concentrations of substance can be applied to the sponge in order to effect a considerable increase in bone growth in the area of the implant.
As regards the structure of the modified implant element which has been described thus far, it will be appreciated that instead of two radial holes 44 at right angles to each other, it is also possible to use other configurations of holes or channels which communicate with the axial hole 43 and open out onto the threaded outer surface. In the illustrative embodiment shown, the release of growth factors is more or less concentrated in the area around the pointed part of the implant body. In the case of an implant element without the said threaded upper hole for a tightening screw, i.e. an implant element which is designed for an external tightening means, or with only a short hole 42, the axial hole 43 can be made much deeper and can extend through the head part of the longitudinal implant body. In such a case, the growth factors can be released along the length of the implant element, through a suitable number of holes or channels 46 in the wall of the implant element (see FIG. 9). Alternatively, the sponge support can also be designed as a rod, or one or more sponge strips can be fitted in such a longitudinal hole or in the channel itself.
The invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example, and instead it can be modified within the scope of the attached patent claims and the inventive concept. Thus, for example, the invention is not limited to the bodies or supports in the embodiment described above. Supports in the form of gels, solid bodies, liquids or the like can be used, provided that their dimensions and/or the viscosity permits fixing to the implant configuration in question. In the illustrative embodiment, a standard fixture has been modified in order to permit insertion of a suitable support for bioactive substances, in order to obtain a combination of implant and support which permits advantageous release of the bioactive substances into the tissue surrounding the implant element.

The jQuery Load method is the simplest yet powerful enough to fulfil all your AJAX needs. It can load data from any server files or database and places this into the matching element. All this is done with no page reloading.
Its syntax is given below:
The jqXHR object is a superset of the XMLHTTPRequest object. Use it if you receive an error during jQuery AJAX call, to find out the status and statusText of the error.
Let's use load() function to get the contents from a text file.
<button id="loadTextFile">Try</button>

Here in the button click event I called the load function which initiates the AJAX request to the 'file.text' and then shows its content in the 'textData' div.
If the jQuery Load functions gives some error (e.g. when initiating AJAX request to a non existing file) then I can use its 3rd optional parameter (callback function) to find the cause of this error.
<button id="loadNoTextFile">Try</button>

My Monster and I
Thursday afternoon at 1:00 pm was extremely exciting and helpful. The library visit was one of the most successful experience and will be to my academic success. In my experience at library, I have learned so much about how to do researching better than I have known about the article of "Dracula". I have researched two references at the library, one is the article of "Transvaal, Transylvania Dracula's World-system and Gothic Periodicity" by Stephen Shapiro and the other one was Dracula as Metaphor for Human Evil", by Steven G. Herbert. Which i have found very helpful.
Our minds are so powerful we can create our own satisfactions by our imaginations. Because our own universe as we go along with. More than hundred years since Dracula novel has been published in 1897 and still standing. Bram Stoker's novel introduced vampire tradition in the society of Victorian. But still remain strong in our pop culture. The reference article that I chose on Dracula, according to philosophical Discussion "Dracula as Metaphor for Human Evil", by Steven G. Herbert. His arguments is based on "The monsters that we create in prints and films are often projections arising from our collective unconscious". Which means we created a portray of ourselves in an evil way such as (vampire, zombies, werewolves and much more) are based on our feelings and emotions. Even though terrifying, but help to satisfy what is not ok and undone in our minds base on our desires. Dracula help shape and understand the most difficult situation that we cannot unveil base on the society's criticism. Which seems to work perfectly fine and bring us back to the state of equilibrium. Herbert state that "Evil can be a divine gift that tests our goodness and spurs us on to develop greater dimension of self". (1) Which means we can defeat our enemies by not applying physical contact but whether emotional obstacles, the difficulties in life, we can empowered to deal with most negative people which either at school, work, home, anywhere that we socialize in a powerful way. The psychology behind why we watch and a satisfaction in horror movies, is because that is experiencing horror within safe confines.

text: (Moderators, please remove if this is the wrong forum.) I just got an HTC Desire HD, and I have a question regarding the GPS functions. I don't know if it's specific to this phone, or maybe of interest to other android users so I put it here. How long should the Desire HD, or any GPS phone, take to get my location? I use Locations, and occasionally Google Maps, and it seems to take several minutes (and I'm talking more than just the 1-2 minutes which I'd sorta expect) sometimes to "find" me. I'll normally stay in one place until it does. Is the functioning of the GPS more affected by software or hardware? By this I mean, is the time it takes to find your location (with GPS, wireless, and 3G/Edge/GPRS turned on) affected mainly by the hardware or the software? I do assume the number of satellites in line-of-site at a particular point is reasonably constant. Is there anything I can do to speed this up, or am I expecting too much from a phone GPS?

At least then the re-inclusion of it can be discussed later, while the less-controversion bits are in the archive...). --Jeroen [1] http://people.debian.org/~mjr/legal/mplayer.html -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar firstname.lastname@example.com (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl

Silverstone Auctions will be auctioning an iconic 1969 Lola race car on Feb. 23, 2013 at the Race Retro & Classic Car Sale to be held at Stoneleigh Park in England. The yellow-finished Lola T70 starred in the classic Steve McQueen film "Le Mans" and was one of three MKIII B's used in the film. The race was seen spinning on the downhill approach to the Indianapolis corner.
The Lola T70 was then cloned to look like a Gulf-Porsche 917 to star in a breath-taking crash and eventually hit a steel w-beam rail. The iconic race car of movies has been completely rebuilt for European sports car racing and now comes 'on the button' with current FIA papers, sporting a new engine, a rebuilt gearbox and a new differential.
Nick Whale, managing director of Silverstone Auctions, remarked that it is rare for a car with a colorful history to be offered for auction. He said that they are delighted to have the Lola T70 secured for the Race Retro & Classic Car Sale. The Lola T70 is sure to attract a number of bidders when it is put under the hammer on Feb. 23.
Interested bidders may include big fans of the big screen and car lovers. The Lola T70 to be placed under auction is also well groomed to participate in any race at top European circuits, as it recently achieved victory at both Monza and Spa. The winning bidder for the Lola T70 will not only take home the iconic race car, but it will also receive an extensive spares package. The Lola T70 being offered at Race Retro & Classic Car Sale is estimated at between £570,000 and £650,000.

Mario Batali Is a Kobe Human, and Other Great Lines From His Roast
Mario Batali looked bigger than life last night, as he sat in a carved wooden throne taking punches from speaker after speaker at his celebrity roast at Capitale. The event, which benefited the Food Bank of New York, was simultaneously tame and vulgar: Every imaginable anatomical insult was made, but there was barely a mention of Super Mario's actual partying practices, which are legendary in restaurant circles. Rachael Ray and Rocco DiSpirito, neither of whom were present, took far worse abuse. Still, the roasters, who ranged from Sarah Silverman and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog to Anthony Bourdain, got the merry pasta mogul pretty good.

Focusing intently on a task can be beneficial for both creativity and productivity. But how you waste your time matters too, according to Nautilus writer Greg Beato:
Wasting time, they say, can make you more creative. Even seemingly meaningless activities such as watching cat videos on YouTube may help you solve math problems…
So what kinds of distractions, exactly, are best? "You want a distractor that's pretty far away from what you want to process unconsciously," Bursley says. If you want your brain to unconsciously process a math problem, it would be better to have the distractor be something totally different, like playing tennis, he says, rather than something similar, like a spatial puzzle.
The right distractions can boost creativity while others can leave us feeling drained. For example, if you're stuck on a writing project, try doing something that doesn't require you to create, something like watching funny videos. Or, if you're starting to feel burnt out on a project proposal, do something that doesn't require you to strategize, like free writing or browsing Reddit.

7 Ways to Make a Better World
Written by Scott Miller
Garden Spot Village has a clearly focused mission: To enrich the lives of older adults as an expression of Christ's love. One of the many ways the community carries out that mission is by creating an environment in which Villagers can live with purpose. Many residents and team members choose to do this by serving others, enriching their lives and making the world a better place in many, many ways.
1. Make a difference:
Inspired by the book Changing the Face of Hunger by former U.S. Congressman Tony Hall, the Garden Spot Village Making-A-Difference committee looks for ways to make a positive impact far beyond campus boundaries. Since the group started in 2009, it has collected items of warm winter clothing, backpacks and school supplies for students in need; assembled and distributed lunches through the New Holland Summer Lunch program; and collected personal care items for the Teen Challenge Christmas Bag Project, which helps young men struggling with addiction. Group members also gathered more than a ton of glossy magazines to support the Ronald McDonald House recycling project; stocked shelves at the New Holland Food Bank; collected baby clothing and supplies for the Susquehanna Pregnancy Center; and served lunch at Water Street Ministries.
"The Making-A-Difference opportunities strike at the heart and make us aware of the needs right around us," said Colleen Musselman, Director of Life Enrichment. Musselman read Hall's book in 2008 and was moved to make a difference. She formed a planning committee with a team of residents who identify projects to pursue.
2. Care and connect:
Since 2004, dozens of Villagers have volunteered to take part in Caring Connections, providing emotional and spiritual support for individuals who are facing difficult challenges, such as the loss of a loved one or a serious illness. Hundreds of residents have benefitted from their intentional visits.
The number and length of visits depends on what the recipient needs. Some volunteers spend an hour or two a week, others more. Volunteers have visited residents in Laurel View memory support, knitted with women in Mountain View personal care and read to residents with visual challenges.
"Sometimes it's bringing the word of God to them, sometimes it's just listening and letting them know someone cares," says Carol Wendel, the dynamic resident volunteer who coordinates the program and matches volunteers with residents who have requested visits. Caring Connections volunteers receive training—and get the satisfaction that comes from knowing that they are brightening someone's day.
3. Build something:
From New Holland, Villagers have reached out to Long Island, the Gulf Coast and even Honduras to help out on building projects. Through the Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS) Partnership Home Program (PHP), residents staff and other Eastern Lancaster County community members have joined together to build houses for Gulf Coast families left homeless by hurricanes or tornadoes. They build the wall panels in the parking lot at Garden Spot Village, then truck them to the Gulf, where teams of volunteers complete the homes over a period of two or three months. After Superstorm Sandy, many Villagers got in a van each week throughout the summer and rode to Far Rockaway, N.Y., to help repair a storm-damaged home. And for several summers, groups from Garden Spot Village have traveled to Honduras with Missions Door to help build a church camp in the mountains outside Tegucigalpa.
4. Share and shop:
Several dozen volunteers operate the Share and Care Shop on the lower level of the Village Square. Established in 2002, the Share and Care Shop had raised more than $313,000 as of the end of 2013 to benefit the Garden Spot Village Benevolent Fund. The shop carries housewares, dishes and serveware, decorative items and furniture donated by Villagers and members of the surrounding community. The volunteers restore the items for resale and staff the shop.
"It's a win-win recycling project that provides a source of affordable household items and raises funds for a worthy cause," says Deborah Fast, Director of Volunteer Services.
5. Make it special:
Special events at Garden Spot Village—the Garden Spot Village Marathon, the Fall Festival & Country Auction, Pedal to Preserve and so many others—could not be the successes that they are without the generous support and service of all the Villagers who help make them happen. For example, hundreds of residents, staff and members of the surrounding community volunteer for the Garden Spot Village Marathon. They serve on planning committees, register runners, park thousands of cars, staff water stations along the route, hand out blankets and medals to the finishers and more. Community organizations—fire, police and emergency response teams—also make a major contribution toward a fun, safe event that runs smoothly.
6. Bridge the generations:
One of the highlights of this year's Garden Spot Village Marathon was the first annual Lancaster Family YMCA Kids Marathon to promote healthy lifestyles for kids ages 6 to 12. This year, the YMCA and Garden Spot Village partnered with Cure.org to encourage young participants to reach out and support children around the world who can't walk. The event was just one of many intergenerational initiatives that give Villagers an opportunity to bridge the so-called "generation gap." Residents also volunteer to mentor young people through Cross Connection Ministries, tutor at area schools and participate in living history programs at Garden Spot High School. They make the Fall Festival & Country Auction kid-friendly, with face painting, radio-controlled airplanes and other fun activities and, at Christmastime, they open the doors to the Train Room to share a magical world with children of all ages.
7. Give generously:
For residents of Garden Spot Village, chores like lawn care, snow shoveling and home maintenance are taken care of. With a variety of dining venues, meal preparation and cleanup are optional. That leaves plenty of time for those who want to take advantage of short-term or long-term volunteer opportunities. Even with plenty of time, however, some prefer to make a difference in a different way. They donate to food, clothing and fund drives organized by the Making A Difference Committee, The Community Church and others. They donate items to the library or the Share and Care Shop, or they give to the Garden Spot Village Benevolent Fund in many ways.
These are just a few of the many ways that the people at Garden Spot Village are helping make a better world. Now that you know some of the opportunities, how will you make an impact?

According to a report from ESPN's Jeff Goodman, the NCAA has denied the transfer request of Florida International forward Rakeem Buckles. The one-time Louisville product was hoping to follow former FIU head coach Richard Pitino to Minnesota in the hopes of avoiding a few unfortunate situations.
For starters, Florida International and first year head coach Anthony Evans are facing a postseason ban this season thanks to academic issues that date back to when Isaiah Thomas was the head man. In turn, the postseason ban has allowed some FIU players to look elsewhere and have the opportunity to play immediately. The top example in this scenario is Malik Smith, who ironically enough followed Pitino from FIU to Minnesota this past off-season and was granted eligibility immediately. Buckles was simply hoping to do the same.
In addition to avoiding a postseason ban, Buckles is now left in an awkward situation in terms of going back to Florida International. Why? Well Evans and the Panthers don't currently hold any available scholarships. So now, Buckles only option at FIU would be to return as a walk-on.
Talk about being left out in the cold. Throw in the fact that Buckles suffered a pair of major knee injuries during the three seasons he spent at Louisville and you simply have to feel for the 6-foot-7 forward who just simply cannot catch a break. Instead of the NCAA helping him out here — he's left in a situation in which he cannot play for the coach and school that he had been hoping for.

Featuring stereo ins and outs, a small footprint and all the controls at your finger-tips, it strikes the perfect balance of control and ease of use, avoiding laborious menus. Presets, the versatile control port, and MIDI open up a world of possibilities for live performances. In addition the SD card input allows you to save your algorithms. Whether you're looking for a classic spring, realistic room or new sonic flavors to expand your creativity, the Empress Effects Reverb delivers it all. It would make an ideal addition to any pedalboard.
Product Ref: 76757View Full Description
Full DescriptionView Full Description
The Empress Effects Reverb contains 24 algorithm reverbs in high quality stereo.This versatile unit is full of features and can be adapted to most musical genres. It is compatible with MIDI and also features a SD card input for saving your unique tones. Housed in a die cast aluminium shell with three footswitches, it is a worthwhile investment.
Hall Reverb
Hall reverb usually refers to the Reverb in a concert hall and is modeled from a large and fairly reflective space. It typically used at longer decay times in the 2 or more seconds range. Hall reverbs generally have more muted high frequency compared to other reverbs, which leads to a smooth warm sound. Because the room size is large, the early reflections are slower to arrive, and are very pronounced before the tail becomes diffuse.
Plate Reverb
Plate reverbs were originally created from an electro-mechanical device that vibrates a large sheet of metal to create reverb sounds. At one end is a driver that vibrates the metal, and at the other end a transducer that captures the vibration of the plate and turns it back into an electrical audio signal. The decay times could be controlled by applying damping to the different sections of the plate. The sound quality of this feature is superb
Spring Reverb
Spring Reverb units are little tanks that suspend springs between a driver and a transducer. They typically sit in the base of your amplifier. A driver circuit uses a coil and magnet to vibrate the springs, which creates reverberation. Like the plate reverb previously mentioned, a receiver circuit at the other end of the springs converts the mechanical vibration back to an electrical audio signal. The sound varies depending on the amount of springs, the spring tension, and how much the signal is being driven. The electronics at the driver and receiving end can play a huge part in the tone of the sound. The decay can last up to 3 or 4 seconds. Spring reverb is a classic sound for guitar players due to its discrete delay-like reflections which are prominent in the response.
Room Reverb
Like with other reverbs, the Room reverb is based on a physical space. It usually has a shorter decay which depends on the size of the room, and the amount of absorptive materials on the walls. Because we spend most of our lives in small or medium sized rooms, it's a very natural sounding reverb. The key to a realistic sound are the dense early reflections. These are the first reflections from the floor, walls or ceiling that arrive to the ears after the direct sound. They're instrumental in creating the sense of size and space. It is an ideal choice for subtle applications and at shorter times.
Sparkle Reverb
The sparkle reverb is created by an octave effect that's fed into a large sounding tail. The octave is a little bit slow to build, and it goes higher and higher in pitch as time goes by. This creates a very airy and open sound. This mode adds a lushness and surreal element to the sound and is perfect with slower legato playing.
In the modulated reverb tail, there is modulation applied to each of the delay lines so you get a similar sound, but you don't hear the distinct chorus pulse because there's so many going on at once. This leads to a sound that's warm and smooth. This mode will work on a variety of playing styles and parts.
Ambient Swell
The ambient swell mode detects either breaks in your playing or use trigger detection to detect note starts, then they apply a smooth adjustable fade-in. This mode works well at 100% wet and at long decay times.
Delay and Reverb
This classic combo is a must-have for any guitarist. These tones are renowned for featuring on 80's recordings, and add a versatile feature to the pedal.
Reverse is a great tool for fading into songs or solos, as it gives it a dramatic approach.
The ghost mode adds a really smooth and spooky layer behind your dry playing. The tail is made up of a lot of resonant and modulated elements that meld together to create a really unique sound. The hi and low filters sound really great when you have them on the move with the resonance up. The resonance control and decay work together to shape the tone and length of the decay.
Whilst using the Lo-fi mode, the dry signal gets effected with some raunchy filtering and distortion along with the wet, giving you a complete lo-fi signal. The reverb tails aren't meant to be smooth. You'll hear some grainy discrete delays rattling around in there which make it ideal for intros or bridges where you want to switch things up.
BeerFinally, this mode is truly unique, and shows how versatile the pedal is. Complete with perfect stereo sound quality.
- The pedal has 12 algorithm types, some include multiple variations. For example, vintage and studio plate, dark and bright springs. Also, as more algorithms get added you can update your pedal via the SD Card
- Pristine sounding classic hall, plate, spring and room sounds that rival or surpass studio units costing many times more.
- A complete palette of tweak-able ambient sounds that offer the creative player so much customisation
- Easy to operate
- Many algorithms have infinite hold settings or the ability to tap in delay time

And not just someone who likes to eat or someone who obsesses with watching the Food Network, but someone who really LOVES food...every aspect of it....growing it, cooking it, experimenting with it, preserving it, cultivating it, sharing it, talking about it, and reading about it.
When I tell someone that I have made my own yeast, it's nice not to get that crazy look. Sometimes, it's nice to have someone who has tried it too and wants to talk about your process and share theirs.
This is Ma Paolini (or Mrs. Paolini as I know her). She is honestly too cute for words. Her son, Frank and my husband have been best friends forever so I have adopted her as a "friend in food". Although I don't talk to her or see her as often as I would like to, I hear stories about what she makes for her Sunday afternoon lunches through her son Frank. It is wonderful how meals, like many Italian families, are about family and sharing time together as well as good food.
I always love hearing Frank tell me what they had for lunch (or even better, for Christmas Eve dinner!)...he explains it so well that I swear I can taste it. I asked if I could take a peak (electronically) into her cellar, so Frank's wife Shelley (and my dear friend) snapped a few photos of her "cantina".
So, until I can meet with her and bribe her to show me one of her great dishes, you will just have to know that, if there is ever a nuclear war, there is a really nice cellar that you could live in happily for a very long time!
