There is a tradition of watching the classics around Halloween.
There isn't anything wrong with that, but there are other films that deserve some love. So to celebrate Halloween, here is my list of eleven horror films to watch:
Cold Prey (2006)
I will be the first to say that Roar Uthaug's Norwegian slasher film about a skiing trip gone wrong is not the most original film I have seen. It does follow the usual tropes of a slasher film (it reminded me a lot of I Know What You Did Last Summer and the countless Friday the 13th films). With that being said, Uthaug's film does make up for its familiar premise in its visual style. The cinematography does present an effective eeriness that is mostly absent in other modern slasher films, and this does work to the film's advantage, such as in the suspenseful and scary scenes. In fact, even though the film may feature some well known cliches (mainly a few jump scares), Uthaug does actually make them work. I think the key to these scenes working is that Uthaug makes good use of the film's setting (a small hotel in the middle of snowy mountains) in terms of presenting great claustrophobia and isolationism (I have a strong feeling that Uthaug film was heavily inspired by Stanley Kubrick's The Shining). Having these elements does make the film have a few good genuinely scary moments. While the characters in the film may not be the most interesting, the actors themselves are actually pretty great by slasher movie standards. They do have believable chemistry and you feel their dynamic in their friendship. So when someone gets attacked by the killer you really feel the others' emotion, fear, and helplessness in the scenes that call for it. Plus, all the actors manage to get the fear of the situation off pretty well. Definitely not the best horror film I have seen, but one of the better slasher films in recent years.
The Curse (2005)
The found footage genre can be quite hit and miss, but director Koji Shirashi does manage to utilize it to a great advantage. The film is a bit complicated that requires great attention in its first half as Shirashi cuts between the camera of the main character Kobayashi and footage from variety TV shows. While it might be easy to get a bit lost with the intercutting between the two mediums, it only occurs early in the film. But its purpose is appropriate since this is the film's attempt to show just how much we may exploit what we may deem as unnatural, odd, or weird. The whole "found-footage" structure actually does make sense this time around. Most "found footage" films deal with people who still to continue filming for now real purpose then to perhaps extend the running time. Since the main character is supposed to a documentary filmmaker the reason why he would be filming almost everything does make sense and the film makes it feel like every thing he films is important and almost of it is engrossing as there is a pretty good mystery surrounding the film. What is even more impressive is that the film does not go for straight up scares and instead relies mostly on its atmosphere and setting. The film creates an enormous amount eery dreadfulness that never lets up as the film goes along. The only real time the film goes for scares in the traditional sense is a scene that takes place in the woods. It feels like it come out of the Blair Witch Project, but this sequence is just as suspenseful and scary and does lead to one of the most frightening images in the film. There are a lot of quiet moments in the film, but each moment is filled with such great unsettling tension than most other horror films that it warrants a watch
Dog Soldiers (2002)
Before director Neil Marshall made one of the best horror films of the 21st Century with The Descent, he directed an efficiently made werewolf film. This is a werewolf film that is bloody and violent, and suspenseful. Taking place in the Scottish Highlands, it tells of soldiers that are attacked by werewolves and board themselves up in a house until sunrise. Much like The Descent, Marshall utilizes his setting to great effect. The seclusion and dark forests in the Highlands create a good atmosphere of dread. Plus, the scenes taking place in the house, which borrows a lot of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, is filled with a lot suspense as the characters try to hide as much as possible. There are even scenes where they make holes in the wall to just run and escape. The werewolves are used well, in that they, just like the alien in Alien and the shark in Jaws, are gradually presented throughout the film. Plus, these beasts rip some of the characters to shreds and are intimidatingly scary as a result. Though you can easily see some of the twists in the film coming, you could also make the argument that the characters are aware of the twists given some of their body language. If you want a good modern werewolf film, this one is for you.
The Killing Gene (2007)
At first glance, The Killing Gene may not seem all that original as it takes elements from Silence of The Lambs, Seven, Saw, and it even reminded me a bit of Zodiac (which is weird considering that film came out the same year). Plus the characters may seem too familiar. Tell me if you've heard this before: the idealistic rookie is partnered with a hard veteran. Plus, the film does take its time and is a little slow paced. All of these things would doom a film and yet the reason why I am putting it on the list is because of its style. I loved the way this film looks. The film takes place almost entirely at night in authentically decrepit building. This and the way the tremendous lighting reflects off of these buildings and the characters gives the film hauntingly underworld feeling. There is a deep sense of bleakness that carries throughout the film and it does make the film rather horrific in its tone. The final act itself is also pretty gruesome and it is hard to watch at times. The scene looks and feels as though it came out of a Saw movie, but it does present something that is quite emotionally effective and does leave a lasting impression even after the film is over. It may not be the most original film nor the best detective film, but it is a film that is appropriate for Halloween.
Lord Of Tears (2013)
I will say right now that this is one of the best horror films of the decade so far and it is a shame that no one has scene it. It a horror that mostly relies on atmosphere and images to really create scares and it succeeds to great effect. The film mostly takes place in a secluded mansion where the sun never really shines. The setting of it already creates a chilling atmosphere that feels as though it came straight out of a nightmare. The costume for the Owl Man may seem a bit silly at first, but the way it is used it effective. The way he just watches the main character through the trees does get under my skin. There are a lot of images in this film that do that and it is impressive how the film manages to portray its scares without doing a whole lot. This is also due in part to the performance of Euan Douglas, who manages to get across fear and sadness so well when the scene calls for it. The film is a bit slow moving, but that is the point. The pace allows the atmosphere and images to really linger in memory and it does produce some good scares.
Mr. Brooks (2007)
The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is perhaps the most frequently adapted stories in the history of the cinema. Whether it be straight up adaptions, modern reimaginings, or loosely inspired (as well as being featured in variety of genres such as horror, comedy, and action), the story of Jekyll and Hyde is one that has intrigued and entertained audiences for years. Though it is not a direct adaption, Bruce A. Evans' Mr. Brooks is one of the few films that gets the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde absolutely right. Most of the films that I have seen deal directly with the dual personality, in that the evil Mr. Hyde is created by taking a potion or a drug, as if it was science experiment gone wrong. These kinds of film do not really focus on what Stevenson's story was originally saying cause there is a lot more depth to it. The main idea that Stevenson is suggesting is we may all have some sort of evil (our own Mr. Hyde) in our personality that we may try to repress. It is a constant fight between good and evil with ourselves, which also suggests that good and evil may not be as objectively simple. The can perhaps co-exist within all of us. The character of Mr. Hyde is basically a visual metaphor for what Dr. Jekyll is really feeling on the inside and it is the potion that allows Jekyll to free his inner desires. Yet, the good Dr. Jekyll and the evil Mr. Hyde come from the same body, which shows that Jekyll and Hyde aren't two separate people. The story shows that good and evil can be within all of us.
Mr. Brooks is the only one that gets that role of duality right, in that they exist in the same person and we see that to great effect here. Kevin Costner is brilliantly cast as a successful business man, Earl Brooks, because Costner usually does play the everyman type and he does manage to make the title character likable in the scenes that call for it. However, he is a serial killer who is madly addicted to killing and Costner also manages to be unnervingly calculating and somewhat ruthlessly terrifying when he kills. His inner evil and sinister thoughts (his Mr. Hyde) are visually and metaphorically represented by Marshall (William Hurt). His thoughts of evil (Marshall) try to overpower Earl into giving in to his evil ways to kill, while Earl desires to stop and be good. This sort of internal conflict and how good and evil can coexist is what I feel is missing from most Jekyll and Hyde adaptations. We see that Earl and Marshall (Jekyll and Hyde) are one in the same and the film does devote some time in which we see Earl try to fight his demons (such as having inner verbal thoughts and going to AA meetings for his "addiction"). No, there is no potion that changes his physical look, but the closets the film comes to that is in the clothes that Mr. Brooks wears. Costner's performance is one of the best in his career as he does a great balancing act between the good and evil personalities, and brings a lot that depth from Stevenson's story to the screen.
What is also impressive is that Mr. Brooks does not diverge into a action movie territory in its third act. There is cat and mouse chase throughout the movie as a Detective (Demi Moore) tries to hunt down the serial killer (Earl), and it would be tempting to have some sort of action scene that culminates between the two. However, the film keeps the main conflict, the inner good and evil, as its main focus. The film is actually a rather quiet film that is mostly character driven that focuses on personality, emotion, and relationships. There are hardly any action scenes at all. The film uses its performances and ideas to really drive home its thrills. Costner, as mentioned earlier, is pretty compelling, Moore makes is memorable, and Hurt as Earl's thoughts are some of the best parts of film. He and Costner have great chemistry together as they visually show the conflict Earl is going through. Comedian Dane Cook, in a surprisingly great dramatic turn, also provides some admirable scenes with Costner. His character is particularly dark that shows the darker side of humanity. His scenes with Costner really do bring up an interesting idea of why serial killers do what they do and erotic nature associated with killing people. One scene that disturbingly represents this is when Cook's character talks about a potential person they are going to kill and how the person won't know what's coming from him. That is a pretty messed up mentality, but it is something that excites Cook's character. It is quietly frightening look into the darker side of humanity and Cook does a good job at presenting that mentality.
My only complaint with the film is that there are too many subplots for its own good. Some scenes, particularly associated with Moore's character, could have been cut entirely. But that is really a minor complaint as the film does focus on what it needs to focus on, which is the inner conflict. While it may not be a straight up horror film, Costner is great and does provide some effectively quiet moments. While it may be an extremely loose adaptation of Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, it is one of the best because it is one of the few that actually gets it right.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
While it may not be considered a straight up horror film by today's standards, this film is certainly a disturbing film at times that is one of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar's best. Almodovar does not go for straight up scares, but instead he presents the feeling of dread and scary moments in a very subtle manner. Some of it comes from the imagery and the emotions. This film isn't entirely that violent (with a few exceptions), but instead Almodovar presents the dread in very simple ways and it works. The way the film is structured adds to the scares. I don't want to reveal too much, but let's just when the film starts to make sense and pieces start to fit into place, let's just say that the film becomes very disturbing. The film does present some interesting ideas and themes in these scenes such as the morality when it comes to revenge, victim of circumstance, the dark sides of humanity, and gender identity. The acting is quite good, but it is Antonio Banderas who manages to shine above the rest. This is his best performance to date as he has such a commanding force whenever he is on screen. He is quietly unnerving and terrifying when the scenes call for it. What's it is all the more impressive is the way Banderas manages to make a character that is both sympathetic and evil. You can see where the character's motivations come from, but how far is too far? Plus, are his motivations entirely justified when we remember how this whole thing transpired? Call it an art-house horror film if you want, but this a film that manages to get across uneasy feelings with its imagery and actions, and Banderas manages to get under your skin with his acting. This is one of those horror films that will stick with you long after the film is over.
Trick r Treat (2007)
I surprisingly did not see Trick r Treat until just this past year, but now I am going to make it mission to watch it every Halloween in the same way I watch Independence Day around July 4th and Mickey's Christmas Carol around Christmas. This is a film that embraces the spirit and mythos of Halloween from its traditions, rules, and legend while also offering some pretty good and scary stories in which the mythos that I just mentioned is present. The film's structure is also pretty unique in that some storylines and characters intertwine with some shifts of back in forth in time, but it is easy to follow and the way the characters intertwine are done in such clever ways. What makes it even better is that all the storylines are engrossingly interesting, scary, and quite funny at times as well. I would say that this is easily one of the most original horror movies of the 21st Century that should be watched by anyone who loves horror movies and/or Halloween. It is shame that this film did not get a full theatrical release because it would have gotten more exposure instead of being hidden in obscurity that it is right now. Don't get me wrong, this film does have a legion of followers and has achieved high cult status as result, but I think more people would consider it among the all time great Halloween movies. Seek it out if you can.
The Tunnel (2011)
This Australian film is basically a hybrid of The Descent and REC. as it takes elements in terms of setting and style. The film tells the story of a news crew going underneath a dark tunnel to get a story, but they discover they are not alone in this tunnel. The setting is somewhat similar to The Descent, in that the characters are stuck in the dark with little light and are basically in a maze with narrow hallways. The setting does lead to the chase scenes to be quite suspenseful and scary. Much like how REC. made a found-footage film feel scary because it actually felt like you were there, The Tunnel also has that same feeling. The found footage genre is one that has gotten tiring, but The Tunnel actually utilizes it to good use and makes it feel fresh. My only complaint is that the film also features interviews some time later after the main events of the film take place. While it is effectively somber, it does take away from the suspense a little bit. Plus, there are some scenes where the action and scares start to happen, but then the film cuts away to one of the interviews. Though the interviews may be brief and the film does goes right back to it, I can't help, but feel that doing this takes away some of the tension that the film is trying to build up. That being said, there is plenty of good in The Tunnel to make it worth seeing. It is terrifyingly suspenseful and utilizes its setting to great use.
Wake In Fright (1971)
I just want to say straight up that this may be one of the most chilling and unsettling horror films I have ever seen. No, it is not scary (especially by today's standards), but watching it left me feeling a bit empty and unnerved, which is precisely the point. This is a film from Australia which tells the story of a school teacher named John (Gary Bond) who is on his way to Sydney to be with girlfriend on school break. He stops into a town for one night, but he begins to slowly, but surely indulge himself with hard drinking and gambling. This is just the start because as John begins to hang out with the locals for several days, John begins to slip down a dark path. This film, directed by Ted Kotcheff, shows that not all horror films have to be about serial killers, the supernatural, or monsters. The horror can come from inside of us (the most recent film I can think of that follows that idea is Black Swan). It is unsettling because of the way John, what we consider the morally right civilized man, begin to slowly lose morals with each passing scene. Yes, it starts out rather harmless with drinking, but the film shows some pretty disturbing scenes where John looks like he attempting to rape a girl and him killing a kangaroo during a merciless hunt with his new found friends. It is disturbing to see someone lose those what we consider morally right so quickly. This film does bring up the old aged debate of the civilized man vs the man from nature. This film, however, shows that we may not be all that different. The people of the town are not entirely bad people and do have good hospitality. It is just that people from "civilized" worlds may see it as barbaric. Is it just part of human nature to indulge in such bad acts no matter where you come from or what you have been taught? Then again these "barbaric" people seem pretty well adapted. It is these questions and thoughts that bring out the film's great allusions and allegories from Christianity and Dante to Shakespeare and Stanley Kubrick.
Gary Bond gives perhaps one of the best performances in any horror film I have seen. His boyish charm makes his civilized man likable. He convincingly shows his uneasiness in the town he is staying in. In fact, one of the biggest strengths that the film possesses is just how Kotcheff brilliantly manages to keep a feeling of tense dread throughout the film. Though no one in the film is particularly threatening, there is always this sense that something bad is going to happen, but there really is no reason to be afraid. Bond does look visibly uncomfortable, but the way he shows his descent is one that is quietly chilling. What makes the film so "scary" is that even the most morally civilized man into something dark. Yet, at the same time, he still manages to remain sympathetic as the film goes on. Another great performance in this film belongs to Donald Pleasance (known for his role in the Halloween films) as one of the people that John hangs out with.
This film was actually lost for years until the last known copy was found just before it was about to be destroyed. It would have been a travesty if this masterpiece ceased to exist because I think it is great. It may not be what we consider "scary" today, but when you really think about it, it scares and horror can be some entirely unsettling and universal.
Note: If love animals then you probably shouldn't watch this movie.
When Animals Dream (2015)
I will be the first to say that this Danish film requires a lot of patience. It isn't really like most werewolf films as the action seems mostly absent and we really do not get a lot in terms of transformation. The film slowly builds to the transformation scene as we see the main character, sixteen-year-old Marie (Sonia Suhl), get rashes and hair. While this perhaps can be seen as a metaphor of the transition from teenager to young adult, the way Suhl reacts to the confusion of these changes is convincing. Not only that, she is frequently bullied at her job and the way that Suhl presents her sympathy is heartbreaking. But she can also be scary in the scenes that call for it. The ending is entirely satisfying. It takes a lot to get there, but the ending makes the earlier parts of the film much better in retrospect.

"Oh, why can't it be? Why can't it be the two of us? Why can't we be lover's only friends?" I can never forget this statement coming from a friend of mine who was madly in love his friend but was rejected because the guy is in love with someone else. Typical movie material, huh?
It really hurts when you love somebody and you can never experience romantic love in return. The worst would be being with someone for quite sometime and then the right one comes along. Oh what to do? Of course, human as we are, we tend to think of the many common and usual excuses to break up with someone. Mostly, the typical ones often end up having the both of you not being friends anymore. So how should we break up with someone and end up being friends? Or at least be civil with one another.
Okay, I may not be a love guru but I have some friends who are experts on the subject matter and here is what they say. To break up with someone and still be friends, you have to consider the following. First, question yourself why do you still want to be friends? It is vital to ponder and weigh the pros and cons if the friendship will still be working. Make sure to have the right reasons not just because you feel guilty about breaking up with him/her and you want to feel less guilty or you're still hung up with him/her. If you happen to bump into them after the break up, just simply say hello and ask about something that would make a casual conversation. Just stick to neutral easy topics. Next, think about how and why you want to break up. And then when that day comes of telling that someone that you're calling it quits, ponder in why and how you ended the relationship. Sometimes time will eventually take its course and eventually the two of you will end up being friends again. Be honest and direct with your feelings. At the same time make sure he/she is too. Always be upfront about your feelings from the start. Don't ever hide them until it's going to explode like a massive volcanic eruption. Be calm and relax. Don't tense up and freak out for heavens sake! Just take deep breathes during the conversation and don't be nervous.
Also, when the time comes that you are already in separate ways and you happen to see him/her with someone else, don't be anxious and panicky. If you are truly friends, you both should be happy for each other that you both are moving on and have found someone else to make you happy. Just treat them like a normal friend and think of them in a different. Past feelings may resurface you know! You don't want to open Pandora's Box again now, don't you? You don't have to talk to them all the time and surely you are not obliged to do so. And if they try to hurt you, DON'T MIND IT!
There's no point of trying to be friends with somebody who is just making you feel bad and pitiful. Take note that you can always do better and that you can surely move on. Lastly, you don't have to friends with him/her if it really doesn't work.
Sometimes, it is best not to remain friends, which is oh-so fine and appropriate. Don't force yourself and don't rub it in. Remember, you are always in control and you can always find someone better that is worth your time and love.

text: Great story great doctor and even a better man. My oldest son was born in Morenci and delivered by Dr. O'leary in 1978. I usually dont comment on FB as I do not even have an account but do read my wife's page. This story hits close to home as several generations of my family and friends were employed by the "company" one thing that bothers me is reference to "Anglos being the scabs" "Mexicans being the strikers" Not true in any form as I have several friends and family both Anglo and Mexican that made tough decisions regarding the situation at the time. My father had been with the company just short of thirty years and refused go cross any picket line as did some of his siblings. Others in the family made different decisions. More than any Anglo-Mexican lines being drawn in the sand it was fathers and sons; brother vs brother uncles cousin's and more. It was truly a life changing time for many families and to this day I harbor some ill feelings toward the great and powerful company for having a huge part in destroying the lives of honest hard working people all in the name of greed and money!!! My father passed a few short years later of heart attack at the ripe old age of 50! guess congrats to the company for winning the strike?!?!?

Florida rebounds from loss to beat 'Bama
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Florida's current stay at No. 1 likely will be short-lived, but legitimate nonetheless.
Alabama's visit to the top of the poll earlier in the season seems more and more like a joke every day.
Matt Bonner scored 21 points Saturday to help the top-ranked Gators rediscover their winning ways, 75-56 over the slumping 22nd-ranked Crimson Tide.
The Gators (19-3, 8-1 Southeastern Conference), ranked first for the first time in school history this week, lost 70-55 at Kentucky on Tuesday in their debut game as No. 1.
''Tuesday morning, we woke up, we were No. 1 in the country and everyone was talking about us,'' Florida coach Billy Donovan said. ''By 11:30 that night, everyone was laughing at that. That was an emotional day, and we needed to be able to move forward.''
They did, recovering nicely against Alabama (13-7, 3-6), a team that knows all about a No. 1 hangover. Since making it to the top spot in the Associated Press poll Dec. 23, the Crimson Tide has gone 5-7, including five losses in its last six games.
''It was almost a half-joke,'' Crimson Tide coach Mark Gottfried said of the reaction when Alabama made it to No. 1. ''It was good for our program to reach that point. But I think Florida is in a different situation. They've got the weapons.''
No. 6 KENTUCKY 80, MISSISSIPPI 62: At Oxford, Miss., Erik Daniels scored 20 points and No. 6 Kentucky, playing its 1,000th SEC game, overwhelmed Mississippi to win its 12th straight.
Keith Bogans added 17 points and Gerald Fitch 14 for coach Tubby Smith, who won his 150th game in five-plus seasons at Kentucky.
Kentucky (18-3, 8-0) has its longest since winning 13 in a row in 1998.
Justin Reed scored 14 points and David Sanders had 13 for the Rebels (12-8, 3-6), who have lost four straight and three SEC home games in a season for the first time since 2000.
Ole Miss had won two of the last three against Kentucky in Oxford. But the Wildcats took the Tad Smith Coliseum crowd out of the game from the start. The Wildcats scored the first 11 points and never looked back.
SOUTH CAROLINA 84, VANDERBILT 72: At Nashville, Tenn., Chuck Eidson scored 18 points as South Carolina snapped a seven-game losing streak.
South Carolina (8-11, 2-7) used a balanced attack to post a season-high in points.
The Gamecocks had three players in double figures, led by Eidson, who had five assists to go along with his 18 points. Carlos Powell added 16 points off the bench and Kerbrell Brown scored 15.
Brian Thornton led Vanderbilt (10-10, 3-6) with 22 points, while Matt Freije scored 13 and Jason Holwerda had 10.
South Carolina entered the game last in the SEC in scoring offense, but the Gamecocks blitzed Vanderbilt in the first half, scoring a season-high 46 points.
AUBURN 56, LSU 54: At Auburn, Ala., On second thought, Cliff Ellis went to a small lineup with the ball going to Marquis Daniels for a drive to the hoop.
Daniels instead fired a pass to Auburn reserve Nathan Watson, who hit a 3-pointer with four seconds left to seal a victory against LSU.
Ellis only inserted Watson after calling a second timeout with 13 seconds left.
The Tigers (17-5, 6-3) led until Jaime Lloreda's basket with 3:07 left gave LSU (13-8, 2-7) a 54-53 lead. Neither team scored for the next three minutes.

|Fuck you and your bullshit.
I'm going to come right out and say it: I'm a
fan. I know, I know. I've fucking heard it all by this point. "You're just a contrarian!" "You're a traitor!" "How the hell can you grow up in Buckeye central and be a Michigan fan???" Michigan
Well I started rooting for
when I was really young, too young to understand the game of football. If I remember correctly, I think at the time I thought their colors and helmets were neat (I must have been like 6 years old). As the years went on, and I started to understand the game itself, I stuck with them out of a sense of fan loyalty. Michigan
Once I became cognizant of the "Buckeye Nation," and the nature of being a Buckeye fan, I felt even further justified in my decision to root for the Wolverines (not just on the big game every year, but for their entire season). I soon discovered that many, if not most, Buckeye fans are rabid about it and take way too much pride in the team. It's probably because there's no pro football team that's ever worth a shit in
, so they go nuts over OSU success. Ohio
They have all sorts of songs about how much they hate the team itself, about how they "don't give a damn about the whole state of
." They literally look down upon Michigan fans. Any time I tell someone that I'm a Michigan fan for the first time, they look at me funny and make fun of me because of how much they've beaten the Wolverines in the last 10 years. Nevermind the fact that the Wolverines dominated the Buckeyes for nearly 20 years during the Cooper era. But history to them only matters when it's filled with Buckeye wins. Michigan
It was around 2002 or so when the Buckeyes beat
and the campus, which is incredibly fucking large, erupted in an actual, real-deal riot. Fans overturned cars, set dumpsters on fire, and caused general bedlam. The stupid part was that the Buckeyes fucking WON. During my time in the Navy, whenever I told someone that I was from Ohio, they would look at me as though they had just scraped off barnacles, or as if they had just got done bilge diving, and they'd sneer "eww, you're a Buckeye fan aren't you?" Michigan
|A lesson that even good men can break the rules.
As if this wasn't enough to convince me that my loyalty is well placed, I once drove to
Indiana to watch , in person, beat the hell out of IU (I've always considered that a qualifier for my legitimate fanship). I got to meet some people from Michigan Ann Arbor, and I asked them how they like coming down to . "We don't go down to Columbus anymore. We've been spit on, cussed at, and even had bottles thrown at us. That just doesn't happen up in Columbus ." I believe them, because it didn't happen to me in Ann Arbor . Indiana
Now we've got this whole NCAA violation stuff and Jim Tressel resigning. I don't really have anything against him as a coach. He's a fairly decent man and an excellent coach. But the scandal surrounding the team right now is exactly why I can't ever be a Buckeye: this town worships these asshole kids, and these kids act like giant douchebags because of it.
First off, guys like Prior are on full scholarships. They get free housing, free food, free books, and free education all because they're good at football. So when they say that they had to sell their memorabilia for food and lodging, I find that to be a huge pile of horseshit, especially when they also reveal that they were using their status to get "loaner," cars from local dealers.
I know that OSU is not the only college where this goes on, but fuck them anyway. That shit head Gordon Gee, when asked about whether or not he would dismiss Tressel for trying to cover-up the violations, said "I just hope Coach Tressel won't dismiss me!" That's not funny you fucking asshole, seeing as how you're the god damned president of the University. Last I checked, University is not code for "football school." You're a fucking joke, Gee.
These players are douche bags as well. Prior sold his Gold Pants awards, which are school awards for beating
. How much of a huge asshole do you have to be to sell a fucking school award to a drug-dealing tattoo artist just to get a discount on the tattoo? Michigan
|I am insanely jealous of the cougar (or what the fuck
ever that thing is supposed to be).
How the hell do we solve this bullshit attitude and the ridiculousness of college football players? I don't know, but I would imagine that cutting scholarship money would be a good start. These fucking kids think they have it made because they're athletes, and that has clearly hindered their growth into decent human beings. Secondly, this town needs to shit on these kids more. Stop worshipping them, especially when they can't win national championships.
So that's why the Buckeyes can eat my ass. Go Blue!

I just put together my first Adafruit product (USBtinyISP).
It went together well and I'm quite impressed with it for the price.
But what impresses me even MORE about your company is that you offer FREE shipping to APO and FPO addresses.
This must be, in part, your way of saying THANKS to all the men and women of our US Armed Forces stationed overseas. That is TRULY IMPRESSIVE!! As a retired US Serviceman myself, I noticed that right away.
I've purchased many things on the 'net (ebay and others). Yet your company is the first one I've encountered that specifically ships to APO and FPO addresses for FREE.
Thank You VERY MUCH for your consideration of our troops.
Free APO and FPO shipping is not only for US Armed Forces Day (this Saturday – May 19 2012), but every day of the year.

I had my hardest time after treatment number 3. I was sick some, only time I had to take anti-nausea meds. I took #6 last Tuesday (25th). I just got really sick again. I haven't felt great since the treatment. Chemo is SO strange. Wonder why some treatments hit us harder than others? I know one thing, there is NO ONE who undergoes chemo who should ever be considered a wimp! My stomach still hurts some, but it's better. Hope all of you are feeling well.
Oct 31, 2011 - 8:56 pm
When I just blew my nose I could smell that awful chemical smell. I HATE CHEMO, but thankful it's there for us.
Oct 31, 2011 - 9:45 pm
When I was having chemo, my chemo nurse said she read a study that indicated that the treatments divisible by 3 tend to have the worst side effect. I did not find that to be true for me, but evidently you followed the results of the study.
Oct 31, 2011 - 9:55 pm
That's interesting, isn't it? I'm starting to feel hungry again already. :) Tomorrow will be better, I'm sure!
Nov 01, 2011 - 12:43 am
and I will never forget the intense pain I had for 6 days. I fainted after my second tx. but luckily did't get hurt too bad. 3rd was bad too. Pain and nausea together. Zofran and percocet were my friends. 4,5,and six were uneventful..thank goodness. Hope you are feeling much better...val
Nov 01, 2011 - 9:34 am
You can say that again! Everyone tells me how tough I am, but what choice do we have? Hope today is better.
Nov 01, 2011 - 12:30 pm
Thanks Ladies. I do feel some better today. I go for blood work at 1:30. Dealing with congestion and nose bleed this morning. Does anyone know if if it is Avaistan that causes the nose bleeds? If so, I'm in for a whole lot of nose bleeds over the next 2 yrs. :(
Nov 01, 2011 - 1:34 pm
These are a common side effect from the Avastin. I've been on Avastin alone since the first of the year every 3 weeks. It does cause bloody, runny noses. I've actually developed a hole in my septum from it. Use a humidifier this winter, and my ENT doctor gave me a prescription for an antibiotic ointment to use, plus I think there are moisturing nose sprays you can also use.
Nov 01, 2011 - 3:07 pm
I started having bloody noses a few months after starting Avastin. I started putting vitamin E oil in my nose twice a day, and that kept it happy. I still had a runny nose, but at least it wasn't bloody.
Nov 02, 2011 - 12:18 am
I aslo had the worst round in three and six now I am going to be on avastion only I talked to my chemo nurse and yes the avastin is the case for the nose bleeds.
Nov 02, 2011 - 10:14 am
That's what I was told also. My platelet count is still low too, so the NP said that was also contributing to it. They were 82,000 last week when I took treatment. One week later they are at 41,000. They said that isn't dangerously low, but still low. I wake up during the night sometimes and my nose just flat out hurts. Only lasts a short time, but I don't think I could stand it if it lasted very long. When do you start your Avaistan only? I am scheduled to begin it on Nov. 15.

I briefly mentioned Meg Darlington in my #CDFSpringMeet post, Meg very kindly donated four pieces of jewellery for prizes in the form of one personalised necklace and three pairs of earings.
Meg is a jewellery designer based in North Wales, she uses mainly hand tools in jewellery making and strives to make every piece individual.
"My work is inspired by our changing environment; paint that is peeling and chipping away from wooden doors, cracks in old windows, driftwood and weathered boats and beach huts at the seaside, sea-worn shells and pebbles. I display fragments of our natural environment beside linear silver framework and shapes that mirror manmade structures which creates a striking contrast."
As if the necklace wasn't amazing enough already Meg kindly personalised the back of it for us. Pretty awesome right? I'll be honest, I'm rather envious of the lovely bloggers that were lucky enough to win these items!
Once again, thank you so much for sponsoring the event, it was a real pleasure to have you on-board!

Justin Bieber Cake
Just mention the name Justin Bieber and you can visibly see my daughter swoon!
She's just crazy for the guy, so it seemed fitting to make her a Justin Beiber cake for her birthday.
With the help of some scrapbook paper and some ribbon, the cake actually turned out pretty cute.
My daughter, of course, was in love with it!
This idea can be used for any celeb...or any person for that matter.
It's actually very easy...no heavy decorating involved. :)

Renewable energy jobs grew by 14% to 6.5 million employees worldwide in 2013, says the International Renewable Energy Agency. In decreasing order, the largest employers were China, Brazil and the United States. The solar panel industry, spurred by falling prices, employed 2.27 million workers, mostly in China.
Wave power has the potential to be a massive source of renewable energy, yet it lags behind solar and wind power. An analysis in Yale 360 Environment describes the multiple challenges — including the difficulty of designing a device to capture the energy of waves — that stymie efforts to generate electricity from the…
Floating Generator Transforms the Ocean's Motions into MegaWatts
While winds may die and clouds may obscure the sun, nothing can stop the rhythmic lapping of ocean waves. Now, an Australian company hopes to harness that power and covert it to usable electricity with the most powerful wave-energy generator ever created. And this is just their small-scale prototype.
Tiny Solar Cell Converts An Amazing 44.4% of Sunlight To Electricity
Today's solar panels convert about 20% of the Sun's energy to electricity—which is good, but solar power would be much cheaper to use if the solar cells converted more of our star's energy. Sharp has just made a huge step in this direction, with a new cell that converts a record 44.4% of sunlight into electricity.
Car Dealerships Make Tesla's Elon Musk Cry In Frustration

Selena Gomez in a happy place
Selena Gomez is in a "really happy place".
The 'Good For You' hitmaker recently took some time away from the spotlight for a few months after suffering from "anxiety, panic attacks and depression" brought on by her lupus condition but she insists she is in a great place now.
She said: "'13 Reasons Why' was a really big moment for me, just because we had the book for seven years and we worked so hard on it. But, everything. You know, my personal life, and my family and my friends, I'm just, I'm in a really happy place. It's been good …
"I think it's empowering when you're able to do things on your own. I started [my career] when I was so young, so in a way, a lot of things were – they helped guide me, and they helped build stuff with me. So, the older I've gotten, I've realised I don't want to be a part of something unless I'm truly passionate, I truly created it, unless I feel like it means something. So, maybe it's just getting older?"
And the 24-year-old singer credits her mother Mandy Teefey for inspiring and "constantly challenging" her.
Asked who inspires her, she added to Entertainment Tonight: "My mom. Yeah, she is constantly challenging me, my character. She's, you know, my morals, who I am. It's nice to have that person, that reflection, that can be there and say, 'Hey, are you good? Is this really you? Are you being authentic to yourself, and are you being good to people?"

The FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of Federação Internacional de Futebol Associado (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1906, except in 1910 and 1914 when it was not held because of the Great War. The current champion is Brazil, which won its first title at the 1906 tournament in Brazil.
The current format of the competition involves a qualification phase, which currently takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase, which is often called the World Cup Finals. 16 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation, compete in the tournament phase for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over a period of about a month.

Kyle Busch after Joey Logano foils him again: 'That's racing'
It appeared Kyle Busch was headed for Victory Lane Sunday at Phoenix Raceway when Joey Logano inadvertently messed with Busch's well-laid plans once again.
This time, though, it was different.
One week after Logano and Busch scuffled following a race in Las Vegas in which Logano sent Busch spinning as they battled for fourth place, the cars of the two drivers were nowhere near each other when the pivotal moment occurred at Phoenix.
Busch was leading in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and Logano was simply trying to hang onto his No. 22 Team Penske Ford when he lost the right-front tire, sending his car into the outside wall and bringing out a caution with just six laps remaining.
Busch subsequently pitted along with most of the rest of the field, but three cars – including the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet driven by eventual race winner Ryan Newman – stayed out on old tires.
On the ensuing green-white-checkered restart, Busch was stuck in fifth on the inside of the third row, thanks in part to having to slow to narrowly avoid hitting the No. 41 Ford driven by his brother, Kurt, as he pulled out of his stall. It was all Kyle Busch could do to drive back up to third before the checkered flag flew.
Afterward, although obviously disappointed, Busch tried to look on the bright side.
"Everything's great," Busch insisted. "We got a top five and that's what we set out to do today. We got a third, so we should be pumped about that and how good this Skittles Camry ran today.
"It was awesome there at the end. … We had a little miscue there on pit road with Kurt and from there it was just too many cars that stayed out. If it was just two that stayed out maybe, but we really needed the outside like (second-place finisher Kyle) Larson had. Overall we should be proud of our run today and we will move on."
Busch led a race-high 114 laps in all. Newman ended up claiming the win despite leading only the last six.
"We kind of struggled a little bit in traffic, but the car liked the clean air and we were sitting pretty," Busch said. "But that's racing."
After finishes of 38th at Daytona, 16th at Atlanta and 22nd at Vegas to start the season, Busch insisted he was pleased to at least emerge from Phoenix with a third.
"My guys gave me an awesome Skittles Camry and there's nothing else I could ask for from them," Busch said. "We were in the right position and we were in a great spot to win the race — but unfortunately it just didn't happen for us and that's racing.
"We kind of missed it a little bit at Atlanta. … We tried to rebound a little bit at Vegas and had a shot for a top five there, but we weren't able to capitalize on that. We were today thankfully. But it seems like every finish that's destined for us, it seems to end in a worse finish that day."

22 August 2003
Betrayal: The word conjures up high drama and the Bible. It has been heavy with portentous and fatal connotations throughout history.
It is also the notion that David Kelly used to describe his feelings to a colleague, one month before the Americans launched their war on Iraq last March. He said he had encouraged his Iraqi contacts to co-operate with the UN weapons inspectors as a way to avoid the conflict. But Britain's top germ warfare expert knew that the war was coming anyway.
"The implication was that if an invasion went ahead that would make him a liar and he would have betrayed his contacts, some of whom might be killed as a direct result of his actions," the Hutton inquiry heard yesterday.
Dr Kelly's remark that he would then "probably be found dead in the woods" was obviously far from a "throwaway" remark. It highlights the anguish of a tormented man who in February must have feared that his own work in Iraq, in establishing the baseline of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, was being used as an excuse to violently overthrow a regime.
By May, when still no weapons of mass destruction had been found and journalists were asking whether the war had been justified, he must have been wracked with guilt.
Dr Kelly and the other UN weapons inspectors had, after seven years in Iraq, built up a working relationship with their Iraqi colleagues. The inspectors did not trust the Iraqi scientists, but did respect them.
Dr Kelly was not the only one who kept open a secret channel to his contacts inside Iraq. Another former weapons inspector told me the other day that he had been telephoned after the war by an Iraqi colleague who had been briefly arrested by the Americans: "He said he wanted a chat ... to hear a friendly voice."
Like most of the weapons inspectors, Dr Kelly was pretty hawkish, having caught the Iraqis lying and cheating over several years. Indeed, some of the former Unscom team felt that the inspections ordered by Hans Blix would serve no purpose at all as the Iraqis had not had a fundamental change of heart about co-operating.
But Dr Kelly's position was further complicated by his unease about the September dossier, which had come back to haunt him with his remarks to journalists in May, and his appearance before the Foreign Affairs Select Committee in July. We now know that the Ministry of Defence tried to prevent him being asked in public by the parliamentarians about his doubts.
After lying to his Iraqi friends to win their trust, he was expected to lie on television after being prepared by the MoD for his select committee appearance. Was his Bahai faith another contributing factor that may have pushed him to the brink, given the value placed on honesty by the sect?
Today the explanation that Dr Kelly could no longer live with his conscience seems a plausible - if tragic - explanation for why he took his own life, coupled with his desperation at being "put through the wringer." But it is also understandable that, in February, ambassador David Broucher thought that Dr Kelly might end up "dead in the woods" after being murdered by Iraqi agents bent on revenge.
At its height, Saddam Hussein's regime was a totalitarian one that would stop at nothing to defend itself. Although the weapons inspectors thought the Iraqis would not be so stupid as to kill a UN monitor, they had to take their chances after guns were pointed at them and one of them was involved in an attempted stabbing.
The former chief weapons inspector, Rolf Ekeus, moved into a private villa after receiving information about a plot to poison him. The white-haired Swede used to joke that one of the properties of the poison thalium is that it makes your hair turn white.

It was 86 here today in the Pacifist Northwest, and nobody I know has been complaining. We have not had a 90 degree day yet, and the temps won't get out of the high seventies for most of this week.
In any case, it is July, and the weather is supposed to be hot this time of year...just like it is supposed to be cold and snowy in many places during the Winter.
As I get older this ongoing seasonal argument gets more and more tedious....
We topped out at 98 degrees in my corner of Michigan. The record for this area was set in the 1930s at 100 degrees.
I live in Michigan about 8 miles north of the Ohio line...we topped 100 once last week, but the area hadn't topped 100 since 1995, so I guess that's kinda big..I think we get about 10-12 90 degree days a year around here normally...we've probably got close to 20 right now. We're used to it getting this hot, but not this hot this often. The heat and lack of rain have wiped out the mosquitos..that's nice.
We haven't broken any records here in my spot in WI, but it sure has been stinking hot and humid the last week or so.
I'm starting to miss the snow.
"thats why we have the magic word "index"..makes you feel like 200 degrees....awwww go eat your peas!"
If the data were all random, then there would be 2 chances in 280 of setting a new record on every given day. Since there are 365 days in every year, every station would be expected to set a new record 2/280*365 times per year (about 5 times per year). Half of these new records would be highs, and half would be lows. Thus, it is quite common for a temperature recording station to set new records. The fact that so few new records were actually set, means that the temperature was hardly extreme.
Everything on the weather channel is "heat index" and "feels like". What a crock...
The recent heat wave in the Boston area did not get to 102 degrees and it certainly wasn't still in the 90s after dark.
Fact is that it is summer and heat waves are part of it. Trying to connect a summer heat wave to "global warming" is rather pathetic.
Ahh, now Al Gore can't jump out of his jumping clown box.
myth bump for later
No myth here. These were record breaking highs. Not record highs for the day (which are records, as well), but all time record highs. I don't know how many weather stations there are, and I really don't care.
The all time records were set at Dulles, BWI, Philly (and much of PA), Newark airport (108, the previous all time high was 105), and Boston. The all time high where a lot of people live.
Not even here in Hokie-mama? (that's how one of our grandsons pronounces it)
Bull crap! We received record breaking daily temps in Philadelphia and Atlantic City last week......but so what? Atlantic City recorded 104 on Friday but we had a 110 (actual temp) in 1936. When we break 110 maybe I'll start to worry.

Tartan Campervan Hire on the Isle of Mull
The Isle of Mull's abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery make it the ideal island to explore in a Tartan Camper. Mull has attractions for all the family, and offers a holiday where wildlife is around every corner, visitor attractions cater for all ages, and the whole family has a chance to live a lifestyle far removed from the hectic urban pressurised existence.
Tobermory was the setting for the BBC children's programme Balamory. After the initial success of these programmes in Britain, Balamory is now reaching a new audience in Australia. Tobermory was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century and is now the main village on Mull. It is a picture-postcard of a place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street to the pier and the high woodland-fringed hills surrounding the bay. The village has a good variety of shops, pubs, hotels, and other accommodation as well as being the administrative centre for the island. The harbour is always busy with fishing boats, yachts and the ferry to and from Kilchoan.
The mountains which stretch across the middle of the island rise to over 900m and are well-loved by hill walkers such is the variety of routes and views to be enjoyed. There are also numerous easy walks on the Isle of Mull with stunning views and less challenging terrain.
Scenic Attractions
The Isle of Mull is the second largest of the Hebrides, lying just off the west coast of Scotland. It is an island of peninsulas which give it a long and varied coastline offering you endless days of exploration and discovery. The economy is a healthy mix of farming, fishing, and tourism offering an insight of genuine island life.
Mull Swimming Pool
The brand new Isle of Mull Swimming Pool was opened in 2008 and is an excellent place to relax and unwind.
The Isle of Mull has some of the most fabulous beaches in the UK and they are easily accessible with a campervan.
Calgary Bay
Calgary Bay is located on the north west of Mull about 5 miles beyond Dervaig and 12 miles from the island's capital Tobermory. It is framed by low hills, partly wooded and is the location of a shimmering white shell sand beach and craggy headlands – home to a rich variety of birdlife and the haunting ruins of stone forts and abandoned villages. The name Calgary comes from the Gaelic, Cala Ghearraidh, meaning Beach of the Meadow.
Calgary Bay Camping
This area is specially protected as it is made up of a special grassland known as machair so please stick to the clearly marked designated area for camping. Calgary Bay is owned by Argyll & Bute Council and is not an official camp site but wild camping is permitted. Wild camping means short stay camping only, a maximum of 2 nights and a local bye-law forbids motor homes and caravans, however, small campervans and tents are permitted.
Caledonian MacBrayne operates 3 ferry routes to Mull, Oban to Craignure, Lochaline to Fishnish and Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula to Tobermory. It is a 45 minute ferry ride from Oban to Craignure. This is the main ferry route if coming from the south.
Alternatively for a cheaper option or if coming from Fort William or Inverness the Lochaline to Fishnish route is the most convenient and only takes 15 minutes.
For more details and timetables, please see the Caledonian MacBrayne website www.calmac.co.uk or telephone the local Calmac Office on Tel: 01688 302017.

70 Henry Street Has a Date With the LPC
On Tuesday, Nov. 13, the Landmarks Preservation Commission will check out the design for the new build at 70 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights. Pretty exciting considering that the only rendering out at this point is this super-blurry one. The architects planned for a five-story, 17-unit building with a movie theater on the first floor and in a section of the basement. The NY Times recently profiled this development, along with other new condo projects in Brooklyn Heights, and said construction will begin this spring.

A Massachusetts high school student was arrested Monday after allegedly bringing a BB gun onto school property and posting a photo of it on Snapchat.
Officials with Fall River Public Schools say several Durfee High School students alerted administrators to a Snapchat screenshot of a firearm with a caption "Life at Durfee."
Fall River police were alerted, and after locking down the school, officers and administrators started searching the building for the firearm.
Investigators found out the student suspected of having a firearm had already left the school before the school was locked down, and Fall River school officials say police arrested him at his home and found the BB gun that they determined was the firearm depicted in the Snapchat photo.
The student, identified only as a 15-year-old boy, was charged with carrying and possessing a dangerous weapon on school grounds, minor in possession of a BB gun, disturbing the peace while armed and disturbing a school assembly.
School officials say there will be reinforced security measures in place for students starting Tuesday morning.

Using fractional pixels to position UIImageViews
When centering content vertically and/or horizontally in a view, I often use a simple formula to calculate the x/y values for the content's frame: image.frame.origin.y = (container.frame.size.height – image.frame.size.height)/2 The problem with using this formula for UIImageViews is that, if one or more of the dimensions is an odd value, the result will be […]

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a science fiction novel by American writer Philip K. Dick. First published in 1968, the book served as the primary basis for the 1982 film Blade Runner. The novel is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, where Earth and its populations have been damaged greatly by nuclear war during World War Terminus. Most types of animals are endangered or extinct due to extreme radiation poisoning from the war. To own an animal is a sign of status, but what is emphasized more is the empathic emotions humans experience towards an animal.
The main plot follows Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter who is faced with "retiring" six escaped Nexus-6 brain model androids, the latest and most advanced model, while a secondary plot follows John Isidore, a man of sub-par IQ who aids the fugitive androids. In connection with Deckard's mission, the novel explores the issue of what it is to be human. Unlike humans, the androids possess no sense of empathy. In essence, Deckard probes the existence of defining qualities that separate humans from androids.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss) has introduced legislation to permanently repeal the Medicare physicians' payment formula, or Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). Wicker's proposed amendment to the Senate healthcare bill would also create a majority-physician commission to provide Congress with a recommendation for replacing the physician payment system and would put that recommendation on a fast-track for congressional approval.
"Congress should not consider health reform legislation without adequately addressing the doctors' payment issue. This amendment would permanently address this critical issue, and it would do so in a responsible, comprehensive way," Wicker said.
Wicker's amendment would freeze physician payment levels for 2010 and 2011 at current levels, stopping cuts of more than 20 percent from being implemented. The commission's recommendations, required to also include legislative language, would then be delivered to Congress by Dec. 1, 2010. Legislation containing the commission's recommendation would be considered under an expedited procedure, which would require a three-fifths majority vote in both chambers for approval.
The cost of the Wicker amendment is fully offset through medical malpractice reform savings and by rescinding unspent stimulus funds, according to Wicker.
