One man is dead after he was shot during a domestic disturbance in Village Mills, north of Kountze.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event.

PITTSBURGH _ So did Sergei Bobrovsky's strong performance in Thursday's 4-2 win in Pittsburgh complicate matters for head coach Peter Laviolette?
In other words, will Laviolette have a difficult time selecting a goalie for Monday's Winter Classic against the New York Rangers?
"What a big win tonight," Laviolette said, sidestepping the question with a smirk."Let's stick to tonight right now. I mean, I'm not even out of the building."
Bobrovsky continued to look like the team's best goalie, winning for the fifth time in his last six appearances.
For the season, Bobrovsky is 8-2-1 with a 2.52 goals-against average and .913 save percentage. In his last six games, his GAA is around 1.60 and his save percentage is near .940.
Starter Ilya Bryzgalov, who has lost four straight, is 14-8-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .890 save percentage.
If Laviolette was picking his goalie strictly on performance, he would choose Bobrovsky. He is playing with more confidence and is making more clutch saves than Bryzgalov, who signed a nine-year $51 million contract in the summer.
But if Laviolette gives Bob the nod in one of the showcase games of the NHL season, he risks the chance of diluting Bryzgalov's already-shaky confidence.
For that reason, the hunch here is he reluctantly gives Bryzgalov the start.
What would you do?
* * *
Bryzgalov, was back to being his playful, jovial self as he kidded with reporters following the morning skate. He also said he was "frustrated" by his inconsistent play.
His formula to turn around his game?
"Be patient and work hard and maybe the bounces start going your way," he said.
* * *
Cheers: Jaromir Jagr scored the game's pivotal goal in his return to Pittsburgh on Thursday.
Jeers: Somehow, Jagr was not given one of the game's three stars.
Cheers: In a classy move, the Penguins showed highlights of Max Talbot's career with Pittsburgh on their scoreboard during a first-period stoppage. Talbot is in his first year with the Flyers.
Jeers: A Penguins fan held up a Flyers jersey that had an obscene version of Jagr's name on the back of it _ and it was shown on the scoreboard as the crowd roared. Classless.
* * *
Jagr gave the Flyers the lead for good, at 2-1, with 13:57 left in the middle period. He made a clever move in the slot, and his backhander beat Marc-Andre Fleury to the short side.
"It was important not only for him, but for the whole team to get that goal," said Claude Giroux, who boosted his league-leading points total to 46 with a pair of assists. "He got it pretty tough from the fans, but I think he kind of liked it a little bit."
* * *
A smiling Jagr enjoyed telling writers how his backchecking helped prevent James Neal from scoring an early goal.
"Remember me for the Selke!" he said.
The Selke is given to the league's best defensive forward.
* * *
Winger James van Riemsdyk, apparently bothered by a lower-body injury, played just 9:36. Only Harry Zolnierczyk played fewer minutes for the Flyers.
* * *
The Flyers have the day off Friday; the Flyers' alumni will practice Friday in Voorhees at 4 p.m. as they prepare for Saturday's game against the Rangers' alums.
* * *
Defenseman Kimmo Timonen had another strong game: He scored his first goal of the season, was plus-2, blocked four shots and had two hits while playing 22 minutes. He is quietly having an all-star season.
* * *
Brayden Schenn (four hits) had the best game of his brief Flyers career.

The series dates to 1899 when Clemson was victorious 24-0 in a game played in Rock Hill, SC. That was just the fourth year of Clemson football and the 16th game in the school's history.
Nine of the last 15 games have been decided by eight points or less, including 2010 when Clemson won 14-13 in Death Valley.
Clemson had won seven straight games in the series, before last year and that was the longest winning streak by the Tigers in the history of the series. NC State's longest winning streak in the series is six (1971-76).
The 2004 game at Clemson was decided on the last play of the game when Charles Bennett made an interception at the goal line. The 2006 game was a 20-14 Clemson win. NC State drove to the Clemson 30-yard-line before freshman Ricky SappRicky Sapp

View Full Profile recorded a sack on the last play.
NC State was Clemson's nemesis team from 1986-88. The Tigers won the ACC Championship each year under Danny Ford, but never beat the Pack in the process, losing all three seasons. It was the only loss for Clemson in the ACC in each of those years.
The 2008 Clemson victory over NC State proved to be Tommy Bowden's last win over an ACC team in his Clemson career.
Clemson has 51 wins in the series, the third most victories for the Tigers over a school. Clemson has beaten South Carolina the most with 65 wins (65-39-4), followed by Wake Forest (60-17-1).

1948 - Bobby Gage ran 90 yards on a punt return for the only score of the game in a 6-0 Tiger victory over the Wolfpack in 1948. It was the longest punt return in Death Valley until Jacoby FordJacoby Ford

1967 - Clemson painted its shoes orange for the NC State game in Death Valley and the Tigers upset the 10th ranked Wolfpack 14-6. One of the linebackers on that NC State team was former Pack Head Coach Chuck Amato. Clemson clinched a tie for the ACC championship with the victory. Clemson painted its shoes orange because NC State had featured a defense that had worn White shoes during the season. It was the highest ranked team Clemson defeated in Death Valley in the Frank Howard era.
1984 - Clemson defeated NC State 35-34 in Raleigh in the highest scoring game decided by one point in Clemson history. No points were scored by either team in the fourth quarter.
1991 - Clemson wore purple jerseys for the first time since the 1940s in a 29-19 upset victory over NC State.

1998 - At Clemson, Tory Holt completed an incredible day with a nine-yard scoring pass from Jamie Barnette with just 37 seconds left.

1999 - NC State, behind then Head Coach Mike O'Cain, defeated Clemson 35-31 in an exciting contest in Raleigh that featured 35 first-quarter points between the two teams combined, most combined points ever in the first period of a Clemson game. Clemson had five possessions in the fourth period with a chance to take the lead, but could not drive for a winning touchdown.
2001 - Woody Dantzler gained 517 yards of total offense, an all-time Clemson record. He had a career best 23-27 passes for 333 yards and four scores, and also rushed for 184 yards and two touchdowns.

Still, it was a 45-37 outcome, as Phillip Rivers had another outstanding passing game for NC State.
Recent Games in the Series
2003 - Phillip Rivers evened his career record against Clemson at 2-2 with a 213-yard passing performance, leading the Pack to a 17-15 victory in Raleigh in a game shown on ESPN on a Thursday evening.

According to the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA), the the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is offering law enforcement agencies funding incentives to setup checkpoints that target only motorcyclists. Based off a controversial program used by the New York State Police, the NHTSA is offering $350,000 in grants to five law enforcement agencies to run the program, which if successful could be further funded and expanded across the entire United States.
The checkpoints, which derive their legality from DUI checkpoint court rulings, primarily look for motorcyclists riding without a license or DOT approved helmet, and cite riders for aftermarket exhaust and lighting modifications. However the checkpoints fundamentally differ from DUI checkpoints in that they specifically are targeting a minority group of citizens (DUI checkpoints involve all motorists), and are doing so with no presumption that there is an increased risk to motorcyclists and the community as a whole when the checkpoints are being conducted.

1980 – 1987 Control Arms GTECH
Need more info about this product?Contact us!
Tested and quality proven GTECH 1980–1987 Chevrolet Chevelle control arms are available for your Chevelle. Each set of four comes complete with ball joints and urethane bushings in primer to paint your choice of color.
GTECH 1980–1987 Chevrolet Chevelle Control Arms: $980.00
Optional Nickel Plating Upgrade: $400.00
QA-1 Coilovers: $450.00 (single-adjustable)
Notes: The restomod revolution is one of the most exciting trends to hit hot rodding in 30 years, and Fat Man Fabrications is proud to be a part of it! We are so committed to supplying the trick suspension parts needed to upgrade these cars that we have established the GTECH line within the family of Fat Man products.
Over our 25 years of experience designing and building hot rod suspensions have provided the knowledge, coupled with formal engineering disciplines, to allow you to solve the deficiencies of 40 year old factory suspensions and bring the handling and braking of your 1980–1987 Chevrolet Chevelle up to the standards of today!
Hopefully they will choose roads and speeds that will allow them to drive within the limits of their cars. Many other rodders will add some simple bolt on parts to increase chassis ability as they add engine performance. We list brake kits, sway bars, shocks, springs, dropped spindles, tubular control arms, and steering improvement kits which bolt on to that stock chassis with a minimum of changes to the car. Our web site will guide you in the selection of these parts. There are often certain combinations of wheels and headers, etc. which are used to coordinate with these changes so you need to involve our tech team in the conversation. The honest truth is that each change starts a domino effect of changes to complete the job. Preparation and patience will always pay off! A few simple changes can yield a car with much improved performance and safety with modest budgets and skills. The next level build will involve higher skills and investment, but chassis performance will be able to keep up with greater increases in drive train capability.
A complete change to a new suspension will exceed what can be achieved modifying the original. Horsepower levels in the 300 to 500 range can be accommodated with reasonable road manners and the ability to handle at a level with modern cars. This fresh approach will also provide a trick appearance in keeping with the performance level improvement seen. Brakes can be either OEM style or upgraded to aftermarket systems with far greater ability and style. You will be able to use wheel and tire combinations that can fully utilize their promise with suspension geometry enhancements. Your restomod can run with the big dogs in the left hand lane now! The next level involves complete new tubular frame sections as well as complete chassis for your Chevy. Horsepower in the 500 plus range can be handled much more efficiently. The original 1980–1987 Chevrolet Chevelle chassis simply cannot accept 3 to 4 times the power they were designed for. This is about as far as you can go without going to the incredible scratch built super rods we spoke of earlier. The skill levels and commitment are within the reach of experienced rodders and install shops.
Welding and fabrication ability will be needed. The results will reward you with a trick appearance and performance to match. Everything in the build must be carefully coordinated for a successful system and body modifications may be required to fit wheels and tires that can use all the chassis can deliver. Our tech consultants can assist you in choosing the right parts that suit your own individual planned build up including these GTECH 1980–1987 Chevrolet Chevelle control arms.

Tip identifies suspect in beating of elderly FS man
Tip identifies suspect in beating of elderly FS man
FORT SMITH, Ark. —
Fort Smith police have located the man accused of robbing and beating an elderly man in September, said Sgt. Grubbs.
A crime stoppers tip identified the suspect as Raymond Charles Hershel, police said. Hershel is wanted on a felony parole violation warrant in Kansas City.
Investigators discovered an address in Kansas City, Kan. With help from the U.S. Marshals Service, Hershel was arrested on the parole violation warrant.
Detectives with the Fort Smith Police Department plan to travel to Kansas City to interview Hershel.
On Sept. 14, an 83-year-old employee, C.E. Smith, was robbed and beaten at a Fort Smith car wash located at North 46th and Grand Avenue. The suspect took cash and quarters from the money changer at the car wash, police said.

MOSCOW -- Standing before a massive mosaic of red Soviet flags and flanked by engraved quotations from Marx and Lenin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gazed out at more than a thousand Russian university students and implored them to look to the future.
Clinton, however, spoke not in a fancy rented conference space full of mostly pro-Western graduate business students, as President Barack Obama did in July, but at Moscow State University, in a house that Joseph Stalin built as a monument to Russia's Communist glory.
Moscow State's main hall is in a towering castle-meets-skyscraper landmark of Soviet gothic architecture. It reportedly was constructed by gulag labor as part of Stalin's ruthless quest to remake his capital into a 20th century socialist metropolis.
Eighteen years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, 21st century Russia is still trying to find itself, stomping and stammering its way between hubris and disaster, dictatorship and democracy, and more than anything, between its past and its future.
Clinton's remarks and the students' questions and reactions Wednesday revealed more about the nation's unsettled identity and its ambivalent relations with the West than do the latest Kremlin invective or U.S. analysts opining about the post-Soviet landscape.
People in both the American and Russian governments remain stuck in the suspicion and threats of the Cold War, Clinton said, but it's time to "be smarter than our past."
"They do not believe the United States and Russia can cooperate to this extent," Clinton said. "They do not trust each other, and we have to prove them wrong."
Freshman Pavel Yankovsky was among the first to take the microphone: Nervously, he inquired about the financial crisis and why it started in the U.S. Like all the students who spoke, his English was good and his question seemed well rehearsed.
Clinton walked the audience through an abbreviated history of bad mortgages, derivatives and the false notion that free markets are infallible.
"It all seemed like a great idea at the time," she said, launching into an explanation of how the need for more checks and balances in the economy reminds one of the balance of power in the American government.
Afterward, Yankovsky, a thoughtful 17-year-old in a dark suit, with a bushy haircut threatening to go wild, didn't talk about the details of Clinton's response so much as the feeling he got listening to her. "It was brilliant," he said.
"I think that is the main thing our countries should work on, moving from the past, Cold War era," he said. What about the Soviet propaganda on the stage behind him? Yankovsky flicked his hand in that direction without looking and said: "I think that the past we should leave as the past."
Much of Russia, however, is torn between past and present.
On one hand, there's a push for an open economy, and President Dmitry Medvedev talks of fighting corruption and, perhaps, ensuring greater protection of civil liberties.
On the other, Russia remains an authoritarian state where there's little rule of law, human rights workers are assassinated and the bloody Soviet history has undergone renewed revisions. One telling example: A committee set up earlier this year to "counter attempts to falsify history" -- often meaning efforts to document the terror unleashed by Stalin -- will include intelligence representatives from Russia's domestic and foreign spy services.
The country "is still in the process of searching for its own identity," said Yuri Rogulyov, a professor at Moscow State University who teaches, among other things, American history. "Russia is changing, and it's a very contradictory process."
On Wednesday, the autumn sun glinted off the hammers and sickles that still adorn the university building's facade, and, of course, the Soviet star shining on top.
Inside, Yvgenia Kuzminova, a sophomore in global studies, asked whether the U.S. is focused more on economic or military affairs in its relationship with Russia.
Clinton said that while important, those sorts of topics had for years too narrowly defined the U.S.-Russian conversation.
Asked what she thought of Clinton's remarks, Kuzminova later said that while they were interesting, they were "full of general issues" and lacking any surprises. And the idea of revamping ties between her country and Clinton's?
"There are deep-seeded and bad memories of the Cold War, and it's not an easy thing to move beyond," Kuzminova said. "There will be psychological barriers."
Before Clinton walked into the hall, she'd helped unveil a statue of Walt Whitman on the university campus. At its base is a plaque quoting a letter from Whitman about Russians and Americans seeming to be different, but also being alike in many ways. Most students ignored it, instead clustering in groups between classes.
Alex Lazutkin, an economics instructor, stopped to peer at the new addition and chat.
Americans think they won the Cold War, he said, while Russians remember not defeat, but throwing off the yoke of Communism.
Lazutkin cricked his neck a bit and looked at the statue again.
"It might be that most people don't understand the connection between Walt Whitman and Moscow State University," he said, in a slightly puzzled tone. "I'm afraid that the message might have been lost."

First he was there and no he's gone.
Moe Prigoff, perhaps the only reason to watch "Storage Wars:Texas", has disappeared. At least, he is nowhere to be found on the small screen.
Storage Auction Forum recently noticed that Prigoff and Victor Rjesnjansky were missing from a recent cast picture. Rjesnjansky apparently is set to appear in an upcoming episode. As for Prigoff, his fate remains unclear.
His "partner" Mary Padian has teamed up with Jenny Grumbles. Whether this duo will be dynamic remains to be seen.
Prigoff, I guess, is supposed to be the show's answer to Barry Weiss, "The Collector" on the original "Storage Wars." He is certainly one strange dude. How else can you describe a podiatrist with hording problem? And I am not sure what to make of this line from his official biography: "With the help of his young manager Robert, Moe runs two successful businesses."
A&E has been screwing around with "Storage Wars." The father and daughter auctioneer team Johan Graham and her father Earl Graham suddenly appeared on the show. Dan and Laura Dotson, the show's beloved husband-and-wife auctioneer team, were nowhere to be found. "The Gambler" Darrell Sheets and and his fellow tank top twin and son Brandon Sheets were also missing.
Maybe Prigoff isn't missing. He is probably hiding.

Harrison Ford might as well be frozen in carbonite. The "Star Wars: Episode VII" star is expected to miss up to eight weeks of filming after breaking his ankle on the set of the space opera, according to a report by the Mirror.
Ford, who is reprising his role as the swashbuckling antihero Han Solo in J.J. Abrams' upcoming film, was taken to a local hospital last week to treat his injury, which was caused by the door of the Millennium Falcon, Solo's iconic spaceship.
Filming is to continue in Ford's absence, with a cast that includes fellow "Star Wars" veterans Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker. They're joined by franchise newcomers Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Max von Sydow, Lupita Nyong'o and Gwendoline Christie.
According to the Mirror, a person close to the production said, "The initial day or two after the accident, it was hard to move things around, but now we have had more time we can juggle things, bring some scenes forward and push others back. There are lots of other actors in the movie, so it is not a disaster. We are still confident the film can stay on schedule."
Abrams is directing "Episode VII," the first of a planned trilogy of films set 30 years after "Return of the Jedi," from a screenplay by him and Lawrence Kasdan. The film is set to open Dec. 18, 2015.
In addition to the main "Star Wars" story line, Disney and Lucasfilm are planning multiple spinoff movies. The first, to be directed by Gareth Edwards ("Godzilla"), is scheduled for release Dec. 16, 2016. The second is to be directed by Josh Trank ("Chronicle"), with a release date yet to be announced.

PICKENS, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina woman admits she killed four members of her family but says she was mentally ill at the time she gunned down her two sons, her ex-husband and her stepmother.
Susan Hendricks pleaded guilty Friday to four counts of murder in the shooting deaths in October 2011.
Authorities say the 49-year-old Hendricks tried to make it look like one of her sons killed the others before he committed suicide. Investigators say she was trying to collect about $700,000 worth of life insurance policies.
The killings took place in two homes in Liberty in the northwest part of the state. Authorities say Hendricks also killed a man in 2006, but claimed self-defense. Charges were never filed in that case.
Hendricks will be sentenced after a hearing Friday.

Peter Berg Wants Mitt Romney to Stop Quoting Friday Night Lights
It turns out clear eyes and full hearts <em>can </em>lose.
Mitt Romney's been trying to tap into his inner Coach Taylor by adopting the campaign slogan "clear eyes and full hearts — and America can't lose." Friday Night Lights creator and executive producer Peter Berg sure wishes he would stop. "I was not thrilled when I saw that you have plagiarized ['clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose'] to support you campaign," Berg writes in a letter obtained by THR. "Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series."
The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and Friday Night Lightsis in the character of Buddy Garrity — who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan.
Berg says that using the Panthers' and Lions' motto "falsely and inappropriately" gives the impression that FNL is somehow affiliated with the campaign, and he asks that Romney stop using it. Let the new catchphrase search begin! "We were on a break"? "Fashion show! Fashion show! Fashion show at lunch!"? "Save the cheerleader, save the world"? "These people love you like crazy and are afraid they're losing you"? "Will you accept this rose"?

Active Essentials: Zombie Flesheaters Part 2
More Brains! The second part of Gabe Powers' list of walking dead essentials
The Laughing Dead: The Splatstick Era
Re-Animator (aka: H.P. Lovecraft's Re-Animator,1985)
"Herbert West Has A Very Good Head On His Shoulders... And Another One In A Dish On His Desk". One of the best taglines of our time. Though not strictly speaking a zombie movie, it's more of a "Mad Scientist" film, and the re-animated dead aren't very interested in eating their victims, Stuart Gordon's début film is one of the most important films to the horror/comedy sub-genre. There have always been dark comedy/horror hybrids, and outrageous slapstick dates back to Charlie Chaplin and H.G. Lewis' tongue-in-cheek gore epics of the '60s, but Re-animator was the perfect modern era extension.
Based on H.P. Lovecraft's pulpiest story (originally printed as a series), Re-Animator owes much of its existence to the classic E.C. Comic series of pre-code American funny books. The series is also knowingly pilfered by Romero on a regular basis, from his zombie flicks to his direct homage Creepshow films. The story follows Herbert West, played with extreme gusto by a young Jeffery Combs (one of the worlds top 10 most underrated actors), who comes to Miskatonic University in search of the knowledge needed to bring the dead back to life.
The school offers West little in the way of stimulation, and soon he's reverted to his pre credit sequence ways, injecting his homemade, day-glo green goo into the dead. West manages to suck his new roommate Dan into the debacle, and the two are soon ejected from school for their meddling, much to the chagrin to of Dan's girlfriend, who doesn't trust West from the outset. A series of tragic mistakes leads West's rival, Dr. Hill, to figuring out Dan and Herbert's secret.
Insanely clever, deviously funny, and gruesomely raunchy, Re-Animator is most well known for its final act 'rape-by-severed-head' sequence, but has a lot more going for it than simply bawdy visual puns. The film is shot like a theater troop re-enactment of an EC comic book, and its dialogue contains some of the most quotable witticisms this side of Peter Sellers. When confronted with the possibility of being caught by the late night morgue staff, West simply scoffs and quips, "What are they going to do, embalm us?".
Though dated, Gordon's film somehow appreciates with each passing year. Like most cult films of the 1980s, Re-Animator endured due to its popularity on video. Two versions were made available - the uncut 'unrated' version, and the edited 'R-rated' version. The edited version, though shorn of several minutes of gore (not to mention the film's show-stopping visual pun), but was actually longer in run time due to the inclusion of several scenes originally cut for timing. These scenes offered little to the film, but were sought after by fans regardless.
The original DVD release from Elite Entertainment included these 'R-rated' scenes as an extra, along with a fantastic group commentary, trailers, and a solo commentary from director Stuart Gordon. Elite later released a 'Millennium Edition' version of the DVD, as they had with their other two most celebrated titles, I Spit on Your Grave and Night of the Living Dead. The re-release wasn't much of an improvement in features, and the new DTS surround track was as pointless as a beak on a cow, but the video transfer itself was a marked improvement.
See what Brian Kelley had to say about this release.
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
In 1985, the same year George A. Romero was preparing the third part of his zombie epic, Day of the Dead, scriptwriter Dan O'Bannon inherited former Romeo partner in crime John Russo's Night of the Living Dead sequel script. O'Bannon, who had found some major writing success with Alien and Dead and Buried (a very underrated little film with an original take on zombies), was given the right to direct the film, his first. O'Bannon managed to turn a weak, sub-Romero bore into an audience friendly comedy. Return of the Living Dead went on to decimate Romero's film at the box office, proving that mid-'80s youth was more interested in comedy and punk rock than allegories and depressing social issues.
The plot is clever in that it pretends that the events of Night of the Living Dead actually happened, but that Romero's film was forced to change some of the facts by the U.S. Government, who kept some of the zombies in a medical supply house. When a couple of bumbling employees accidentally re-animate one of the vacuum-sealed undead, they also release the gas that turns people into the walking dead. It's soon clear that a bullet to the head will not kill these particular zombies, and the re-animated remains are burned in a crematorium furnace. The ashen remains are rained down on a local cemetery, and the process starts all over again.
Return of the Living Dead is most well remembered for its soundtrack, punk rock witticism (very similar to that of Alex Cox's Repo Man), and zombies that eat brains. Including this film on my list is a bit of a cheat considering that these zombies aren't really flesh eaters, but brain eaters, a fact that infiltrated zombie lore in the following years (brains... brains... ). Fans that despised recent films like Dawn of the Dead 2004 for their sprinting zombies have Return of the Living Dead to blame, as O'Bannon more or less introduced the subject. Some hardcore fans resent the film for appealing to the broadest possible demographic, with its 'R rating' and such. I say sometimes the mainstream is an OK place to be.
MGM finally released the film on DVD in 2002 due to popular demand, and actually made an effort on the release. The anamorphically enhanced widescreen image is miles beyond the old VHS versions, which were surprisingly hard to find for such a popular film. O'Bannon's commentary track is a joy, and the brief retrospective documentary is worth its time. The film has officially spawned four sequels. The first sequel is universally known as an awful film, but Return of the Living Dead Part III, directed by Re-Animator producer Brian Yuzna, is a great comic-book exploration of teenage love and angst. It's too bad the R1 DVD is the censored 'R rated' cut. I've not seen the two newest sequels, but haven't heard a single good thing about them.
Braindead (aka: Dead/Alive, 1992)
A few years ago, one Peter Jackson officially became the highest paid director (initially) of all time, and he got the money for creating his dream project, a remake of King Kong. Before that, he became a household name with his impossible direction of New Line's epic Lord of the Rings Trilogy, for which he won a bunch of Oscars. Back in the mid-'90s, even the most avid Jackson fan wouldn't have thought for a second that this is where the creator of such bad taste comedies as, erm, Bad Taste, and Meet the Feebles would end up. If you'd asked me what the apex of the indie Kiwi's career would forever be when I was back in High school, I'd answer, without a second's hesitation, Braindead (or Dead/Alive, as it was known in my native US).
Lionel is a lonesome momma's boy, guilted into caring for his perfectly capable mother through years of mental abuse. Paquita is a shamelessly romantic immigrant girl, looking for the right man to complete her life. The Sumerian Rat Monkey is a beastly creature, who wants nothing more than to eat flesh and spread his horrible zombie disease. When Paquita is told it is her fate to be with Lionel, she cannot be stopped, and her innocent allure is a threat to Lionel's mother, who follows them on their date to the zoo...only to be savaged by the Sumerian Rat Monkey while spying on them from behind the bushes.
Lionel is again guilted into caring for his now zombifyed mother, finding no time to continue his budding relationship with Paquita. When his mother escapes the house and is hit by a bus, she is pronounced dead, and Uncle Lester comes looking for his share of the inheritance. The problem here being that Lionel's mother isn't actually dead, but undead, a fact that Lionel has decided to keep under wraps. How will he deal with the spreading zombie virus, how can he quell his gold digging uncle, and how can he win back his love? One thing's for sure, hilarity will ensue.
Braindead (the title has a similar double meaning to that of Bad Taste) may not seem like one of the three logical precursors to The Lord of the Rings at first, but this was a major step. Though Heavenly Creatures dealt with the mature and dramatic themes that'd later win him honour, and The Frighteners established his effects company WETA as a force to be reckoned with, it was this extremely ambitious zombie flick that cemented Jackson's talents in the greater public eye. No, it wasn't a film for everyone, especially not the weak-stomached, but it was a boundary-crossing breakthrough that few critics have been able to find real fault with. Who'd've thunk that the heir to the title of 'Goriest Film of All Time' would be so lovable, funny, and unabashedly romantic.
Oh, the romance amongst the viscera. Paquita and Lionel's predestined love is so endearing, and almost all the films tension comes out of their relationship's speed bumps, rather than the plight of the numerous zombie victims. Braindead may be my favourite romantic comedy of all time, because I really do care about the characters and their struggle. How many women would stand by a man whose mother ate her dog? That's true love. Jackson's Zom-Rom-Com predates Edgar Wright's by more than a decade. It's too bad he didn't coin the phrase. I suppose being the highest paid director in history will have to be his substitute.
I won't play Mr. Highroad though, it's really all about the splatter in the end. I'm very hesitant to even refer to Braindead as a horror film, as it's far too gleeful to really 'horrify' anyone. The violence is strictly played for laughs, never is there a feeling of real animosity, and even the weakest of stomachs can usually get used to the icky excesses. And just when you don't think Jackson could take it any further, he does. Severed limbs not doing it for you any more? Have an eyeful of internal organs. Seen enough guts yet? Well, here are some living ones, complete with a gas-spewing anus. And least we not overlook the maniacally gooey lawnmower sequence. Lovely.
There is no definitive version of this film on the market in any region. Every available version suffers from cuts or video aliments. UK and German versions utilize the longest cuts of the film, but suffer from sub-par video presentations and zero special features. The R1 release has a decent transfer and stereo soundtrack, but is missing several minutes of footage. There's word of an out of print German box set release that is indeed uncut and anamorphically enhanced, but I've not been able to find it myself.
The Dead of the Rising Sun: Super Fun Asian Action Zombies
Bio Zombie (aka: Sang dut sau shut, 1998)
Had Abbot and Costello made films in late '90s Hong Kong I've a feeling they might've turned out a little something like this. Wilson Yip's (the man who'd go on to direct the popular Donnie Yen vehicle SPL) oft overlooked little half-spoof is actually much more Shaun of the Dead than Return of the Living Dead. This potent mix of teen-sex-comedy, straight-up horror, Romero spoof, and Asian action is first and foremost a romantic comedy, when whittled down to its base.
Our heroes, Woody the Invincible and Crazy Bee are two punk kids with very loose mafia connections that run a VCD store in a local mall. When picking up the bosses car at the shop they hit and "kill" a government experimental zombie, and toss him in the truck for safekeeping. While the boys furiously hit on the lovely ladies of the mall, and feud with an arrogant cell phone salesman, the zombie infiltrates and begins feasting on security guards. Before you can say "aim for the head", the mall is swarming with loopy and crusty undead.
Bio Zombie is an absolute blast that won't change your life, but will entertain even the most weary-eyed zombie vet. The violence level is surprisingly tame, but there are plenty of other genre films to fill that void. The film's direction is at times shockingly adept, and viewers should keep an eye out for a very impressive split screen sequence that is revealed to be an elaborate camera trick in the end. Yip's tonal control is also incredible, and shifts are believable and smooth. There are very few films that can make an audience honestly care for such audacious characters.
As far as I know there are only two DVD versions of the film available, both R0 discs, and both utilizing a very similar non-anamorphic transfer. The transfer and plain stereo soundtrack aren't much to shake a stick at, but will get us by until someone sees fit to release a decent version. The HK disc has an alternate ending, which I myself have not been able to see (I've got the US release). Other than that, neither disc has any non-commercial special features.
Versus (aka: The Ultimate Versus, 2000)
Filmmaker Ryuhei Kitamura burst onto the action and horror scenes with this zombie/kung-fu/yakuza/fantasy hybrid, and never looked back. In six short years he set himself up as the go to guy for over-the-top and violent action in Japan. Kitamura's films are cinematic junk food for the most part, including 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars and the motion captured cut-scenes for the 2004 video game sequel Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Every once and a while, a work of art escapes, as in the director's finest film to date, Azumi, but Versus fits snugly in the 'junk food' category.
The plot is contrived to say the least, involving an escaped convict trying to save a hostage from a group of cutthroat Yakuza in the forest. Of course it turns out that the forest is haunted, and the recently deceased come back as hyperactive zombies. The whole thing is rather silly, but it really is amazing how much production value Kitamura gets out of his estimated budget of $400,000. The guy really knows how to shoot, and the fight scenes are at times breathtaking, at least as good as the majority of recent big-budget output.
The film's problem is its length, as in it's too long. Kitamura allows himself to get too tied up in his own made-up mythology and back story. As it turns out that the convict and the Yakuza leader are actually reincarnated warriors. The Ultimate Edition director's cut contains a few new fight scenes, and good ones, but adds ten unnecessary minutes to the nearly 2 hour runtime. If you have the time, Versus is a great way to waste an afternoon, filled to the brim with fisticuffs, shoot-outs, flesh-eating, acrobatic camera work, and gore, gore, gore.
Picking a DVD version comes down to taste, and language. The longer cut has two discs of extra features, but is only available only in Japanese. The R1 release from Media Blasters is the shorter cut, and isn't overloaded with features, but looks and sounds decent. There is an edited, 'R rated' cut, which needless to say, should be avoided.
Wild Zero (2000)
Lock and Loll!
Like Return of the Living Dead before it, Wild Zero attempts to infuse the zombie film with humour and punk rock. The film follows the adventures of Ace, a rabid fan of Japanese rock sensation Guitar Wolf (members names include Guitar Wolf, Bass Wolf, and Drum Wolf). Ace saves the band from their evil manager and becomes a blood brother. Guitar Wolf has promised to come to his aid when he's in need. When a meteor strikes Tokyo and starts turning everyone into flesh-eating zombies, it looks like it may be time to call on his new friends for assistance.
Wild Zero is a very silly movie, and one that the majority of zombie fans will probably not have the patience for. The film has less in common with Dawn of the Dead and much more in common with Rock and Roll High School. There's almost as much screen time devoted to Guitar Wolf's concert footage as actual zombie mayhem, but the music is great, and the mayhem is pretty juicy. My personal favourite moment is the one where a bickering couple only realizes their love for each other after joining the legion of the undead.
The North American DVD release from the pioneers at Synapse is a blast and a half. The big revelation here is the disc's built in drinking game. Synapse didn't invent the drinking game, people have been making film specific ones for years, but never has a DVD actually assisted in the process. Those who don't drink (like myself actually) can still enjoy the on-screen mug icon popping up every time someone shouts "Rock and Roll", every time someone runs a comb through their hair, every time a zombie's head explodes, every time fire explodes out of something, or something explodes in general, and every time an on screen character drinks. Don't play the game with anything too hard, like whiskey, because you may die of alcohol poisoning before the end credits roll.
Speed Kills: The Next Generation
28 Days Later (2002)
After the relative failure of British golden child Danny Boyle's post Trainspotting releases (the unjustly maligned A Life Less Ordinary and the somewhat deservingly maligned The Beach) the ever enigmatic director joined forces with Beach novelist Alex Garland to produce one of the most critically and monetarily successful experimental films of all time. The story starts off as an modern adaptation of Richard Matheson's classis novella I Am Legend (already filmed in two loose adaptations, The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man) with newcomer Cillian Murphy waking up from a coma in a world seemingly bereft of human life. Murphy's desperate search turns up monstrous beings infected with what is only described as 'Rage'. It seems these creatures fear the daylight, but when nighttime comes around they are more than ready to attack the few remaining uninfected soles.
Murphy meets up with a few other survivors, and the very Dawn of the Dead-esque group embarks on a journey out of the city of London in the hopes of finding salvation. Then the story takes a Day of the Dead like turn, and our protagonists happen upon a heavily protected army base. In true Romero fashion, the surviving solders aren't the valiant protectors they initially seem, and the infected outside take a back seat to the human on human drama and violence.
The plot of 28 Days Later is very schizophrenic, but with good reason, as the filmmakers were basically making it up as they went along. Filmed entirely with digital cameras, which at the time was still very rare, and utilizing mostly unknown actors, the film was a bargain, and ended up grossing a fair amount of cash in both its native England and the US. Like Sam Raimi's Evil Dead films, the film runs on its energy, and is at times surprisingly scary.
The 'infected' aren't zombies, strictly speaking, and seem more interested in spreading their disease than eating flesh, but they are undoubtedly an extension of Romero's universe. Had it not been for the success of 28 Days Later, and the popularity of zombie based video games like House of the Dead and Resident Evil (the later of which owes its soul to Romero) we'd not have seen a zombie film resurgence, which itself is a double bladed sword, as there were plenty of crap knock-offs in this film's wake.
DVD versions vary slightly in their special features, but for the most part every region has its own decent release of the film. Video quality varies due to the non-HD digital video, but for the most part it works in the film's favour. The sound design is spectacular, utilizing contrasting volume levels to maximize each scare. The finest features on each release are the alternate scenes, including one entirely made up of storyboards which offers up an entirely new take on the film's last act.
Check out various other takes on Danny Boyle's foray into the scary here, here, and here
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Oooo, controversy.
Oh how I wanted to hate this film. I heard they were remaking the untouchable classic and I just about cried. There was just no way to get me into that theater, until, of course, I went to the theater anyway. Why did I even bother? It must have been morbid curiosity, because the fact is that the only other of the Titanic amount of recent horror remakes I saw in the theater was Willard. How was I to know that 2004's Dawn of the Dead remake would be the only proper horror film to have me clutching my theater seat in fear since, well, I can't even remember another time an American studio horror flick frightened me.
Yes the film holds nary a candle to the original in terms of drama and emotional scope, and it runs dramatically out of steam as soon as the opening credits are through, but this movie scores high points simply for making me eat my pissy fan-boy words. In the end it's better than Savani's 1990 Night remake because of its energy and the fact that writer James Gunn actually had something to add to the original's structure. Had the film not been titled as a remake it wouldn't have suffered comparisons. Romero's film was a zombie dramadey about metaphors and allegories, Gunn and first time director Zack Snyder's film is a zombie action film, complete with full-bore running zombies.
The running zombies are a large bone of contention, but modern film seems to dictate that visceral thrills are more poignant that psychological ones. In 1968 the very idea of dead people walking with the sole intent of eating living flesh was enough to scare an audience, but our modern pop-sensibilities have robbed the Romero zombie of a lot of their mystique. Running zombies are a cheap trick, but one that works, especially with mainstream America. My biggest problems are with the film's MTV style and modern soundtrack, but I'm not a fan of movies dating themselves through music.
The Unrated DVD is an essential not only because of the added violence, but because of the added character development. The original film spent two plus hours with four characters, the remake triples the number of characters and cuts the runtime to 90 minutes. One character in particular was entirely forgotten in the theatrical version. This is a case of reinstated footage actually making a difference in the final product. However, those in search of an entirely uncut version will want to search outside of R1, because there is a brief snippet of nudity still censored in the US Unrated release.
Matt Joseph did a full R1 review, and Brett Anderson checked out the totally uncut R4 disc.
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
What can I even say about such an adored modern horror/comedy? Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright, the geniuses behind my personal favourite Brit-Com of all time, Spaced, put more love and admiration into this little film than anyone's seen in a very long time. At once a parody and homage to the genre, Shaun of the Dead most intelligently chooses to play its horror aspects straight, and allows the humour evolve from the character's natural reaction to the situation.
Though not technically the first Zom/Rom/Com, Shaun of the Dead coined the phrase, and its genuine take on romance in the face of such ridiculous adversity is one of its most commendable suites. Spoof can be funny, but it never lasts, and I've a feeling that this is a film for the ages. Never one to take itself too seriously, but never-the-less willing to dredge up a genuine emotional response (check out Pegg, he can actually act non-believers), Shaun of the Dead is the feel good zombie movie of its generation, and a tough act to follow.
The UK R2 special edition release is the best available. Though the US disc is similar, it is missing a fair amount of the original releases' extra features. Both versions feature the excellent Pegg and Wright commentary, which'll make any movie-geek worth his salt want to be best friends with the pair. Both discs also feature an impossibly gorgeous video transfer, and effective Dolby Digital track.
Editor Chris Gould did a write-up on the R2 disc, and The Wilson Bros. (they're the twin biker zombies, not the Texas born Hollywood heart-throbs) are regular visitors to the site.
And so we come to the end. This was a hard list to whittle down. My biggest problem came when I realized I had four films for my modern movie section, and I really only wanted to include three. Shaun of the Dead was an obvious shoe in, and I felt the need to admit my initially wrong reactions to Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake. That brought me to 28 Days Later and the Aussie born Spierig Brothers Undead. Undead is a fine film, and good because it brings some real Sci-Fi to the genre, not to mention some seriously funny scenes. 28 Days Later is not a zombie film, but an infection film. However, it was more important to the major studio releases of Dawn of the Dead '04, Shaun of the Dead, and Land of the Dead. It's also the slightly better film. I apologize to fans of Undead.
The Honorable Mentions
So you've seen all these, huh? Well, I got a few more. Here's a little list of other genre 'greats' that failed to make my final list. I had to draw the line somewhere, right? If it's not on this list, I either didn't see it, or I personally didn't like it.

Tombs of the Blind Dead (aka: La Noche del terror ciego, Crypt of the Blind Dead, Revenge from Planet Ape 1971)
Undead (2003)
Zombi 3 (1988)*
And a few films that aren't really zombie movies, but share some elements:
Bad Taste (1987)
The Crazies (1973)
Dawn of the Mummy (1981)*
Dead and Buried (1981)
Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness (1981, 1987, 1993)

Pet Semetary (1989)
Shock Waves (1977)

The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
White Zombie (1932)

Bicycle touring is big business in some areas.
Jack Day is celebrating his 70th year of life by bicycling 7000 miles from Des Moines to Key West to the Canadian border of Maine and then back to Des Moines. The spring snows delayed his trip a little but he started a few days ago and spent a night in Kirksville. I met him for coffee and showed him the dissected human nerves in the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine before he headed on to Moberly. Since his trip was only a few days old, he didn't have a lot of stories yet, but he told me about bicycling across America a couple years ago, about the Discovery Trail that passes by his house, and about his son the triathlete who inspired him to bicycle. He did have one story about coming out of Iowa on a quiet little back road. His heart sank when he saw the sign, "Pavement Ends", and he cursed through a few miles of gravel before reaching Missouri. After leaving Kirksville he collected another story in the form of a strong south wind (gusting up to 35 mph) that fought him all the way to Moberly and kept him there an extra day.
We don't get a lot of bicycle tourists through Kirksville, but that could change now that Hwy 36 is a US Bicycle Route with an optional spur into Kirksville. Jack had a little trouble finding a place to stay in town. Several months ago, he contacted the city and the newspaper, both of whom consulted me. He has a tent but he knew that toward the beginning it might be a little cold to use it—he didn't realize then just how cold it would be! He had looked into Warm Showers and Couch Surfers, but it appears the Kirksville area folks on those sites are not interested in hosting a bicycle tourist. Understandably, rural Midwesterners are not used to hosting complete strangers in their homes. On the popular bicycle routes this is common practice and I've talked to several people who love hosting bicycle tourists and go out of their way to look for them passing through. Luckily, I found a friendly soul who was willing to give it a go, so Jack had shelter that night.
Kirksville city ordinance bans camping in city parks. Newton, KS is a college town the same size as Kirksville, but it allows camping in city parks. Newton is on the most popular Trans-America route and a little further along on our Amtrak line. I called the Newton Parks & Rec director to learn more. "We allow them to stay 2 nights," he explained. "We've never had any problems with bicycle tourists. They are respectful and they clean up after themselves." (And they buy a lot of food.) "Once in a while we get vagrants," he admitted. "After 2 nights, the police escort them out of town."
Kirksville is putting together a bike/ped advisory group, and once that is in place I will recommend that we change our city ordinance to one that will promote bicycle touring. More bicycle touring in general means that some will choose to stay in hotels instead of camping in the city park, and all of them have to eat. Bicycle tourists eat prodigious quantities. Like any other tourist, bicycle tourists help the economy—and more of their money goes into hotels and restaurants because none of it goes into the gas station!

This depicts a woman playing Go or Weiqi. Go or "Igo" is the Japanese name, while Weiqi (also spelled "Wei Chi") is the original Chinese chess-like game of encirclement (a game that many claim is harder than western chess). Variations of this game are known as Othello, Baduk, Penta, and the more simple 5-in-a-row game (played by westerners and Chinese school children).
The artist Mo Nong signing some of his artwork before I took it to my workshop for proper mounting.
This painting is not titled, but is signed by the artist, and authenticated with his red signature seal.
The artist goes by the name (Mo Nong).
He lives in Beijing, the capital city of China.
This general style of painting that falls between modern art and folk art is done by many artists in China. Once the last modern I worked with retired, it took years to find another that I was really happy with. Finally, in 2012, I walked into the studio of Mo Nong, and found what I was looking for. His variety of composition and painting style make all of these paintings instant classics.
The day I met Mo Nong in his studio in the Panjiayuan artist community of Beijing.
Mo Nong uses paint power and water (similar to gouache) to get vivid colors. This is applied to handmade xuan paper (often called rice paper, though there's no rice in it). When I took these painting to my workshop, they were mounted with a silk brocade border. This border can be used in lieu of matting when you frame this artwork.

Gary's random little things about China:
Parking your car on the sidewalk is legal in most places in China. I am talking fully on the sidewalk, and fully blocking the sidewalk, so that nobody can walk there at all. After all, there is a perfectly good roadway for pedestrians and cars to share just past the edge of the sidewalk - right?
In many urban areas, there is a sidewalk parking attendant who will ensure that you park in such a way that no one can use the sidewalk at all. They will also charge a fee of 2 Yuan (26 cents) for up to a full day of sidewalk parking privileges.
The green light means "go". The Yellow light means "20 more cars should enter the intersection". The red light means "5 more cars enter the intersection and become a nuisance to pedestrians trying to cross the street".
Actually, the green light means "Try to go, but you'll probably have to wait for the yellow or red light before you get your chance".
If you get in a car accident, it's best to argue briefly with the other driver, and then both drive away. When the police get involved, everyone gets fined, and someone might lose their license. The fines are generally higher than what it will cost to fix your car, so hanging around to exchange insurance information is rare in minor fender-benders.
If your car is too damaged to drive away, you are screwed. The police own and operate all of the tow trucks in most Chinese cities. You will be fined, charged for towing, charged an impound fee, and may lose your license.
On long stretches of highway, police checkpoints are occasionally set up. They may be stopping drivers and summarily fining them for wearing sunglasses or talking on a mobile phone while driving. However, in the next stretch of highway, another police checkpoint may be issuing fines for driving without sunglasses.
Under certain circumstances, and if you are really unlucky, drivers who get in injury accidents while drunk may be executed. If you are caught drinking and driving just once, you will be fined, and will probably lose your drivers license for the rest of your life.
Thus, drunk driving has become very rare in China.

Scientist receives national research award
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Dr. Jamie DeWitt. Photos by Cliff Hollis
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Mar. 26, 2013) — Dr. Jamie DeWitt, an assistant professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University, has received the 2013 Outstanding Young Investigator Award from the Immunotoxicology Specialty Section of the Society of Toxicology.
The award is given to investigators who are 10 or fewer years out from obtaining their doctorates who have contributed substantially, through scholarly research, to the field of immunotoxicology. To date, DeWitt has 24 scholarly publications that focus on immunotoxicity and a total of 34 publications.
DeWitt received the award at the group's annual meeting this month in San Antonio, Texas.
"It's a huge honor as the scientists who've been selected for this award in the past have made monumental contributions to the field of immunotoxicology," said DeWitt, who then mentioned her mentors and advisors during her educational and professional career.
Her research focuses on systemic and developmental immunotoxicity following exposure to environmental pollutants. One of her main interests is the impact of exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid, a compound used to manufacture many industrial and commercial products such as Teflon, on immune function.
Her goals are understanding the long-term effects of developmental toxicant exposure on behavior and immune function, evaluating common signaling pathways for nervous and immune system development and identifying critical windows of developmental exposure.
"I think this award also indicates that the immunotoxicology community values developmental immunotoxicity research and research that explores the connections between the immune and nervous systems," DeWitt said. "These are both areas that are relatively new in the discipline and areas that are somewhat understudied in relation to other areas of immunotoxicology."
Ultimately, DeWitt wants to extend her studies in developmental immunotoxicology to investigate the potential role of immune modulation in the development of disorders such as autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
DeWitt has been at ECU since 2008. In addition to being on the pharmacology and toxicology faculty, she is also an adjunct assistant professor in the Department of Public Health at the medical school. She also chairs the Brody Women Faculty Committee and is the incoming president of the North Carolina regional chapter of the Society of Toxicology.
DeWitt completed her doctorate in 2004 at Indiana University-Bloomington in environmental science and neural science and completed post-doctoral studies in immunotoxicology at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in cooperation with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Dr. David Taylor, DeWitt's department chair, praised DeWitt's research and her collaboration with faculty members from across ECU. "The university, Brody School of Medicine and the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology are fortunate to have Dr. DeWitt as a member of the faculty," he said.

My ArtRio Highlights
Fabio Szwarcwald
Lucia Koch stages various architectural interventions in order to disrupt viewers' tendencies to focus on the content of a space over its architecture. To create this effect she enacts a range of manipulations, adding light filters and translucent materials, altering skylights and facades, and pasting images of three-dimensional spaces to walls. These acts cumulatively create a tension between the interior and the exterior and challenge the limits of particular spaces. Koch's work reflects her broader political concern with the livability of generic, mass-produced structures.

This is a time of great transformation! What has been our perception of how the world operates has been turned upside down. Unusual weather patterns, economic instability, revolutions are all in our faces daily.
Yet, our hearts have expanded with love and compassion. Communication and information can be instant. The natural radiance of our planet is growing more quickly than we realize. Beauty is apparent throughout our natural settings.
Yes, the ice caps are melting. And yes, there are new and spectacular species emerging simultaneously. Nature keeps re-inventing herself according to what is needed to sustain our planet, ourselves!
Thank goodness for the new help that is arriving! I chose/was lead to have the falcon as my logo for Glory B Flower Essences. This represents the fast assistance arriving around the world, bringing the support we currently need. The Spirit of the Falcon has keen vision for noticing what is available right here and right now.
The falcon has been a personal animal ally of mine for a long time. It brings protection with speed (The Peregrine Falcon has been reported to reach speeds of up to 200 miles per hour during vertical dives. It is the fastest animal on earth.)
Throughout history falcons have befriended humans. Falconers learned how to work with these birds (especially in forests and desert) to the point that falcons would quickly hunt to provide for their human allies.
The falcon has been my constant guide directing me to discover what we currently can use from the forest and gardens here at Namaste Santuario. Glory B Flower Essences hold the vibrational patterns that we need to rebalance ourselves. The new times that we are living through makes it imperative that we boost ourselves on all levels.
I am so grateful for the special assistance I've received from THE FALCON! Again it has quickly provided the guidance for the sustenance we need to survive.

The Challenges of Research Funding
Just a few weeks ago, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's grants review committee – comprising scientists and patient advocates – took on the task of deciding which of the 200 research grant applications we received would be approved for funding. PDF had the resources to fund only 10 worthy projects. Researchers working on innovative, viable projects continually face the challenge of limited available funding. And funders, such as government agencies and foundations like PDF, have to make difficult choices based on available resources. How can PDF meet the challenge to find sufficient funds to support the most promising research in tough economic… Read More
