Eye of the Demon (1987)
Release Date: Made-for-TV: October 25, 1987
*Images courtesy at: www.filmstarts.de
A newlywed husband named Jerry Lebon (Tim Matheson) is unsatisfied with his job as he is used to working with his hands so him and his wife named Linda (Pamela Sue Martin) decide to move to a country type area on an Devlin Island where they buy an old house and are greeted by a strange old lady named Beatrice Glover (Barbara Billingsley) who seems to make them feel welcome as well as a neighborly couple by the names of Nicolas (James Sikking) and Matty (Inga Swenson) who bring them a housewarming gift but then their moods change towards them after they find out that they have a dog. Linda and Jerry also discovers a strange and sinister old man in an upstairs window always staring at them as well as an empty graveyard and an underground satanic temple.
Their friend named Slater (Woody Harrelson) pays a visit to them as Linda tells him how strange the locals behave there and when Slater leaves after his visit his jeep automatically starts to go backwards and drives him off a cliff causing him to die as well as their dog being run over. Linda and her friend Debbi McGwin (Susan Ruttan) also discovers a bedroom during an open house party with unusual stuff there.
Linda soon finds out that in 1722 A.D. that the town has been a haven for devil worshippers whose leader had been burned alive at the stake and that the inhibitants of Devlin Island are all over 300 years old-the orgiginal coven. Suddenly, Linda is the prime target for a sacrifice but she can't find a way to escape the island at all.
An interest TV movie but it looks quite cheesy and low budgeted. However, there are lots of fun touches throughout the movie like with the people acting strange over certain things like the newlyweds dog or showing their year of birth on stuff too which made it mysterious. But it just didn't have enough frights or good enough frights in lots of spots that it the stroy was trying to do. Just watch it for the fun of it if you're in the mood for a cheesy witch story.
The acting is very average and dated. Pamela Sue Martin as the lead and suspicious one seemed to perform like she was still doing The Nancy Drew Mysteries. But does show a bit of intensity to her part when necessary which looks descent enough. Tim Matheson shows nice stressed out attitude as her newlywed husband and deleveloped a character quite well. Barbara Billingsley seemed to bring her point across as a deceiving nice elderly lady w3ho can seem wicked too which looked super. Woody Harrelson seems to perform his part quite memorably well as he always does well with a show most of the times.
A knife is stabbed through an old man and another man stabs himself but it's not bloody or graphic.
Carl Schenkel is nothing too inpirational with his directing with this TV movie piece. There's a moment where Pamela Sue Martin has a discussion with Tim Matheson in bed by not being happy with his job which seemed fairly okay but not overly convincing. We spot some descent conversation between Martin and Matheson with Jeff Conaway and Susan Ruttan about the island they plan to move to. We also spot a good presence by Barbara Billingsley welcoming them to their new home by showing Martin and Matheson around as well as a nice appearance by James Sikking and Inga Swenson as a married couple welcoming them with a housewarming gift of fruit which looked almost like heartwarming neighbors. Suddenly all their moods change after they find out that they have a dog which is a nice look at the dog going wild and unfriendly. There's many shots on Martin staring at supporting actor John Dee as an old man staring out in a window through an attic showing some evil expressions. There's also good shots on Martin snooping around a house looking for her dog and a good aggression by Sikking telling her they never have dogs on their island. A perfect shot on Billingsley approaching to Woody Harrelson too closely as if she was coming on too strong. A good dialogue between Martin and Harrelson when she discusses to him about the neighborhood being weird and not knowing what is going on. There is a moment with Martin looking upset after finding out what happened to her dog and both Sikking and Swenson both performed a little stale when they tried to convince her it was an accident. A perfect shot on Harrelson in his jeep when it goes backwards along with a good camera shot rolling in on a cliff. Plus, a nice slow motion run on Martin as well as her screaming NOOOOOO! A great show on the jeep flying off the cliff. We spot an effective dialogue between Martin when she tries to get Matheson to look at her and talk to her as he shows a negative attitude which was neatly done and later on Matheson was good at getting emotional about things. There's a good dialogue between Martin and Ruttan when they go into a room during an open house party noticing some strange stuff in there. Martin shows nice attitude when she demands people about their marriage and age to get to the bottom of the strange incidents. There's a spooky moment with supporting child actor Paul Horruzey riding his tricycle towards Martin and talking to her. The a good look at him rolling away in the dark and suddenly it looked like he fell off a cliff which gives you the chills. Nice look on Martin running towards the cliff looking for him and his hand grabs her from behind. This moment was probably the best direction ever. A perfect moment with Martin approaching Dee and a discussion happens about what is going on in the village. Dee really brought out some great disturbed reactions to when he was saying this. We have a great intense reaction on Martin towards Matheson that she is going to leave the island when a storm is about to occur which gives it a cheesy touch. A nice shot on Martin running for a boat and jumping on. There are good nightmare sequences performed by Martin trying to get away from everything with good camera effects. Martin does well by acting paranoid towards Matheson telling him to stay away from her as he tries to make out that he's innocent which was well done. A nice shot on a chapel with smoke around it and later on exploding.
Shuki Levy has some nice paino music for the peaceful moments of the film as well as synthesizer violin soundings too for the suspense.

Hiya. This will mostly be updated by Nemmie, but also maybe sorta sometimes by Scott (when prodded or guilted into it), and more than likely rarely by the Doots, who still eat his socks soooo… blogging is not really on his radar. Doots was born in June 2009 and you might hear about him here or there on this blog.
I work in publishing. I enjoy taking pictures with my oooooold but trusty Nikon, baking, and I have a weird obsession with Britney Spears. I hate running, but I make myself go at it on the treadmill anyway (hellooo, I bake). Scott likes beer (as in homebrewing), sports, and super nachos. He makes a mean breakfast hash. And Doots? Well… He likes socks.

Reposted from The Huffington Post.
Imam Khalid Latif is blogging his reflections during the month of Ramadan, featured daily on HuffPost Religion. For a complete record of his previous posts, click over to the Islamic Center at New York University or visit his author page, and to follow along with the rest of his reflections, sign up for an author email alert above.
A month from now will mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I've been asked countless times what I plan on doing this year in commemoration. I plan on doing what I do every year -- standing at Ground Zero out of respect for those that we lost that day, with those who lost on that day, even if there are people who think I shouldn't be there.
Eleven months ago, on the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, I attended the memorial service at ground zero. As a chaplain for the NYPD, I went to an early breakfast the day of with family members of police officers that we lost in that tragic attack. We then took a bus together to the ground zero site where we joined a growing crowd of politicians, civil servants, 9/11 families, and others.
I love being a chaplain for the NYPD. The guys that I have met on the force are really amazing people and every opportunity I get to wear my uniform it's with a certain pride. The chaplain position is by appointment and we go in with the rank of inspector. The uniform denotes the rank. I wore it to the memorial service that day as many others wore theirs as well, but my beard complemented by a kufi that I regularly wear on my head made it clear that even while in uniform, I am a Muslim.
As I mingled with people in the crowd, I settled on a place in front of the stage and stood waiting for the memorial to start. At that point, three men in suits approached me and said that Secret Service had spotted me from the top of a building. They had requested to see my credentials "just in case." I asked, "Just in case what?" One of the suited men said he was sorry that they were doing this to me and I asked him why he was doing it then. Feelings of anxiety began to surface, not because I was being profiled, but because my sense of remorse was being questioned. My standing there was not an apology on behalf of Islam but as a moment to remember, reflect, and respect those we lost. These men made me question if it was appropriate for me to feel grief because I am a Muslim. Pain is subjective to the one feeling it and the last decade of my life had definitely been affected by the 9/11 attacks. As a sophomore at NYU I stood on September 11th, 2001 in Washington Square Park along with many of my peers as we watched the second plane fly into the tower and, subsequently, the buildings fall. I prayed funeral prayers for loved ones and community members that were lost on that day and have stood time and time again with men and women who have experienced tremendous loss as a result of this attack. Were they saying none of that meant anything just because I'm Muslim?
The feeling of alienation that these men could have potentially instilled within me wouldn't stem just from being singled out or profiled. What was more alienating was being told that I am not allowed to share in the grief or that my remembering is somehow not valid because I practice Islam.
At this point a woman who was standing next to me spoke out on my behalf saying that what they were doing was more dishonoring to the memory of the loved one that she lost on that day than really anything else. That here I was, standing with them at a moment of need, and these men made it seem like I was doing something wrong just because I am Muslim. Frustration didn't ensue because of how I was being treated, but because I couldn't really do anything about it. I appreciate that woman every day because she said what I was not able to say for no reason other than it was the right thing to do. She gave me my validation.
In our tradition, we find a narration that speaks of a funeral procession that once passed in front of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The Prophet stood out of respect as the procession passed and was then told that it was a Jewish person who had passed away, not a Muslim. His response? "Was he not a living being, a living soul?"
So this year, like last year, and the year before that, I will again stand out of respect for those who we lost on that day, with those who lost on that day, even if it hurts me a little to be singled out. In the end, it's not about me. It might help the situation if more Muslims came out on that day as well. Not to speak, or to educate or anything of that like. But just to stand out of respect. Like the Prophet did.

Here's how we helped protect climate science in our children's textbooks with our friends at Sojourners and the Texas Freedom Network.
Did you hear about Rev. Frank Schaefer? He was put on trial, found guilty, and suspended *for officiating the wedding of his gay son.* But people of faith are stepping up ...
Our friends at the Texas Freedom Network are organizing online flashmob right as the Board of Ed starts their deliberation on whether to protect climate change in our textbooks! It'll mean we show up in a big way in Austin *and* online for the world to see.
This Wednesday, we're delivering a petition with Sojourners — a national Christian organization working for justice — to prevent fringe anti-science members of the Texas Board of Ed from censoring climate change in our children's textbooks ...
Rev. Richard Cizik just appeared on State of Belief radio to discuss his petition to convince the National Association of Evangelicals to recognize the reality of climate change. Check out the video.
In the days after my attack in NYC in September, you added your name to a solidarity page in my honor. Thank you for your prayers. I recorded a video message for you ...

One cannot change the living conditions of other people,we can only help them to change,we can help others only if we can help ourselves.In India because of Reservations people who really want to help people through civil services,armed services are not able to do so.Even if they get into the servicesthe political parties influence the administration a lot.So!!! Just don't join in govt services.At the end of the day one craves for recognition or money and subsequently satisfaction,its really tough to get recognition,money in Reserved India,so intelligent people are not satisfied.So they are flying to greener pastures like USA,UK,atleast we get money and satisfaction!!
2. Or you think they can still help their own country despite of working outside?
I think these people are only contributing more to their Motherland,infact they overeact sometimes
3. Are people staying abroad are more selfish then ones who decide to stay back home with family and live.
Father ,Mother should be taken care in old age.I really feel pity seeing some Indian parents craving to see their children settled in foreign countries!!!
Sowmyaa Ji!!! Nice topic!!! BTW the word Swades makes me remember Mohan Bharghava!!!! Infact I'm searching for real day's Mohan Bharghava!!!!!Export such person to India from ur place,I'm waiting here teaching children!!!

For the first time, the Microsoft browser is accounting for less than 50-percent of Internet traffic (although just barely at 49.87-percent). The continued erosion is primarily thanks to Chrome, which has tripled its market share to 11.54-percent. IE9 certainly has its work cut out for it.

Maid who claims she saw Michael Jackson shower with Wade Robson when he was EIGHT 'asked to testify at choreographer's new lawsuit'
- Wade Robson, 30, is mounting a civil lawsuit against the dead star's estate claiming he suffered years of abuse
- Robson, who testified for Jackson and denied former maid Blanca Francia's evidence at his 2005 trial, is now asking her to help him
- Maid said she saw the pop star with the boy, hired as a dancer for Jackson, in the shower with their underwear on the floor
- Robson says he hadn't come to terms with the abuse when he spoke at the 2005 trial age 22
- Jackson supporters say Robson's claims are lies while his estate brands them 'outrageous and pathetic'
By Helen Pow and Katie Davies
Choreographer Wade Robson has approached Michael Jackson's former housekeeper, who claims she witnessed the star showering with him as an eight-year-old boy, to testify at his abuse civil lawsuit, according to reports.
Lawyers for the Australian, whose family was helped to move to America by Jackson when he was a dancer at age five, are approaching Blanca Francia to appear as a witness, according to TMZ.
Robson, 30, claims he was abused by Jackson for seven years and that the King of Pop told him he'd go to jail for the rest of his life if he told anyone about it.
Lawsuit: Wade Robson, pictured yesterday with his family, has launched a civil lawsuit against Jackson's estate claiming he was abused and staff from the pop singer's company should have protected him
Support? Robson's lawyers are approaching Jackson's former maid Blanca Francia, left, to back him, according to reports. Robson denied her claims Jackson showered with him in the star's 2005 trial, right,
He has now launched a civil lawsuit against the pop star's estate.
It is a change of tune for Robson who took to the stand as the first defense witness at a trial in 2005, where Jackson was accused of molesting 13-year-old cancer survivor Gavin Arvizo.
It was the same court case where Francia spoke out about seeing a young Robson in the shower with the singer.
'I walked in and they were in the shower,' Ms Francia told the court, according to a report from the time.
'When I saw it I saw clothes on the floor by the shower...underwear,' she said, adding that she recognized Jackson's and Robson's underclothes.
According to TMZ in the maid's full written testimony she said she couldn't see what was happening in the shower but could hear Jackson laughing.
Ms Francia's own son spoke at the court case in which Jackson was cleared of all 14 counts.
Robson is planning to argue that Michael Jackson's companies -- MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures -- had a duty to protect him.
However, his claims have been ridiculed by those close to the now deceased pop star.
Debbie Rowe, 54, the ex-wife and mother of two of Jackson's children, criticized Robson on Thursday.
She called the choreographer 'opportunistic' and said he was seeking publicity.
She told TMZ on Thursday: 'It will be quickly forgotten, and will do nothing, nothing to tarnish Michael's extraordinary legacy.'
Jackson's estate has called the claims 'outrageous and pathetic' while Jermaine Jackson has said that Robson is 'full of s***'.
But Robson has been making his case too.
He appeared on the Today program this week for a lengthy interview on why he is coming forward now and to outline his claims.
He says from the age of seven to around 14, Jackson 'performed sexual acts on me and forced me to perform sexual acts on him'.
Robson told Today Jackson convinced him that 'both of us would go to jail for the rest of our lives' if he told anyone about what they had done together.
During the Arvizo case he adamantly denied that he had ever been molested or inappropriately touched by the singer.
Seven years of alleged abuse: Robson, pictured right with Jackson as a kid, said from the age of seven to around 14 Jackson 'performed sexual acts on me and forced me to perform sexual acts on him'
Breaking his silence: Robson, right, told Matt Lauer, left, that he decided to break his silence about the alleged molestation after having his own son two years ago
Robson, now a top music choreographer who has worked with Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, said he hadn't yet come to terms with what had happened to him.
'I said what I understood and I said what I was able to say,' he explained. 'From seven years old, from day one of the abuse, Michael told me that we loved each other and this was love, this was an expression of our love. And then he would follow it up with 'but if you ever tell anyone what we are doing both of our lives and careers would be over'.'
'This is not a case of repressed memory. I have never forgotten one moment of what Michael did to me, but I was psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.'
He said having his own child two years ago made him face up to the truth, as he said he couldn't help thinking about how he'd feel if a stranger molested his little boy.
'I'm a father and I became a father
two and a half years ago to this beautiful baby boy and during the first
18 months of his life I collapsed into two nervous breakdowns,
terrifying nervous breakdowns,' he said.
'At that point, I had no idea what was going on. And for the first time in my life, I began to realize that my completely numb and unexplored feelings about what Michael did to me might be a problem and maybe I need to speak to somebody about it.'
He has asked a
probate court to allow him to file a late creditor's claim against Jackson's
estate, even though the deadline has passed for creditors to file such
The estate's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, has dismissed Robson's claims.
In a statement Weitzman said: 'This is a young man who has testified at least twice under oath over the past 20 years and said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson never did anything inappropriate to him or with him.
'Now, nearly four years after Michael has passed, this sad and less-than-credible claim has been made.'.
Robson said the ordeal of launching such a public case was too great for it to be about money.
'The idea that I would make all of this up and put myself, my wife, my son, my entire family through this extremely stressful and painful experience all for money is incomprehensible,' he said.
'I've lived in silence and denial for 22 years and I can't spend another moment in that... I'm never going to go away with this for the sake of money. I'm never going to be silenced for money. That's not going to happen.'
Robson's lawsuit comes as the high
profile trial of Michael Jackson's tour promoter, AEG, continues.
The trial is brought by the singer's mother and children who claim AEG shares blame in his death for neglecting to vet and supervise Jackson's doctor, Dr Conrad Murray.
Evidence: Jackson's case was backed by Robson at the star's 2005 trial, pictured entering court, over molestation claims
Idol: Robson, pictured as a young boy, was supported by Jackson who had him appear in numerous videos
Wade Robson, who was then 22, testified in the Santa Maria courtroom that he was five when he met Jackson for the first time in his hometown, Brisbane, Australia.
Two years later, he was a guest at Jackson's Neverland ranch for the first of some 20-plus overnight visits. He told jurors he shared a bed with Jackson on numerous occasions from the ages of seven to 14, at Neverland, as well as apartments in Los Angeles and at hotels in Las Vegas and LA.
When asked by Jackson's lead lawyer, Thomas A. Mesereau Jr., whether he'd ever been molested by the singer Robson replied: 'Absolutely not,' before also denying strongly that Jackson had ever touched him in a sexually explicit way.
When senior deputy district attorney, Ronald J. Zonen, questioned Robson's account, he replied: 'I'm telling you, nothing ever happened.'
Zonen then said, according to a New York Times article at the time: 'You're saying nothing ever happened when you were awake,' to which Robson responded: 'I think something like that would wake me up.'
However, a former maid at Neverland who testified at the trial as a witness for the prosecution, said she had seen Jackson groping Robson in the shower at the ranch. But Robson denied ever having a shower with the star.
But now Robson is claiming Michael Jackson did in fact molest him, over a period of seven years.
In an interview with Today, Robson, now 30, labelled Jackson 'a pedophile and a child sexual abuser' who from the ages of seven to around 14 'performed sexual acts on me and forced me to perform sexual acts on him.'
He said that Jackson told him the alleged abuse was 'an expression of our love.'
Robson added, explaining why he gave what he claims now was a false testimony: 'This is not a case of repressed memory. I have never forgotten one moment of what Michael did to me, but I was psychologically and emotionally completely unable and unwilling to understand that it was sexual abuse.'
But he said he was never offered money to deny the abuse during the trial.
'There was no money, there was no "you must lie." Michael, when he would talk to me before these things were going on, and he would call me everyday... it was complete manipulation and brainwashing. It wasn't any sense of the truth on the phone, he would role play with me and train me for these scenarios.'

ABI pay alarm clouds Glencore-Xstrata merger plan
Related Articles
Published: 21 June 2012
The proposed £57 billion mega-merger of mining and commodity giants Glencore and Xstrata was dealt a further blow today as a key shareholder body condemned the companies' plan to pay key executives £170 million just to keep them at the combined group if the deal goes through.
The Association of British Insurers made its contempt known by issuing a rare red-top alert on the retention payments, a core part of the deal that would see Xstrata chief executive Mick Davis receive £29 million for running the company for three years after the merger is finalised, irrespective of its performance.
The red top represents ABI's highest level of concern about an issue facing the shareholders it represents, who own about 17 per cent of the UK stock market.
ABI head of corporate governance Andrew Ninian said: "The ABI is always sceptical about the effectiveness of retention payments. In this case, we have raised further concerns around the significant retention bonus being offered to Xstrata executives which are not linked in any way to performance."
Ninian said the ABI has "no opinion" on whether shareholders should vote the deal through, although the association concedes it is effectively calling for them to block the deal, since Xstrata and Glencore have said the deal is contingent on the retention packages being approved.
"The merger is a matter to decide and one that ABI has no opinion on. The colour coding of our report is driven by remuneration arrangements for executives, which the company has chosen to tie in with approval for the merger," Ninian said.
The companies argue that Xstrata's top 73 managers are so important that they should collectively be paid £170 million to stay at the group for two years — with the exception of Davis, who must stay for three.
The ABI's opposition to the pay comes three weeks after two of Xstrata's biggest shareholders, Standard Life and Fidelity, condemned the packages.
Any opposition to the deal is serious because relatively little is needed to scupper it. This is because Xstrata and Glencore have opted to implement the merger using a scheme of arrangement, which requires agreement from three-quarters of shareholders rather than the usual half.
Furthermore, Glencore already owns 34% of Xstrata, and will be unable to vote its holding on the deal. Xstrata shares today fell by 20p, or 2.3%, to 850p while Glencore was down 8.5p, or 2.5%, at 324.9p.

"While they argue he has only about $220,000,000 invested and this is nothing to the doctor"
Well, their research is about as shabby as their argument. Frost has invested $135,277,245.12 in open market buys of OPK stock alone. This ignores the several infusions of cash for stock which ran to $20M or so each. This ignores the several private purchases he made from various parties which were well under the then current market and each numbering several hundred thousand shares. And this ignores the 9M plus shares he bought of Prolor. It also ignores his interest in the 15M plus shares held by the Frost Group. Finally, it is not a static figure and he continues to buy on the open market.
Frost's holdings in OPK, at current market price, amounts to well over a billion dollars. A billion dollars is a lot of money........even to a billionaire.
Frost bought 72.5K on 12/11/13 averaging 9.97.
Actually, if you google stocks automatic execution order and check the Wiki entry, it makes some sense. Hard to imagine, but apparently there are buyers who are actually buying 2 shares of OPK. Bless their souls.
They are flagged "E" - "Automatic Executtion"
Which explains everything. :-)
He's the chairman of the board at TEVA. You would expect they would say negative things or not know of him?
It's a plus nonetheless just as it is a plus when a sell-side anal-yeast says buy. Only rubes are unaware that means sell (which is what the trading desk is doing). And a sell rec from a sell-side anal-yeast means buy (which is what the trading desk is doing).
OHH, BUT, Iceman, you know there is this "Chinese Wall" rule that separates the anal-yeast house from the trading house!
Yah. Lots of laws, lots of indictments, lots of lawyers, lots of judges, lots of fines, and lots of prisons.
Gee, could it be that rules and laws only "deter" those who don't need them in the first place?
Must be why there are two different words for different things.
Kinda like thinking and speaking are two different things. Seems there's much more of the latter than the former around these boards.
only in the case where he says something you agree with. Heee hee.
I.m not short. Just reporting what my time and sales shows. Regardless of the number of shares, how does somebody trade at 7.15 when the ask is under 6? And why? It was just some jerk posting an out of sequence pair of trades.
Bottom line is..........did it change anything? No, it did not. ask is still under 6.
That was flagged as "Extended Hours Trade - Sold Out of Sequence"
It was 2100 shares (1,800 and 300)
Hmmm. Attitude much?
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Give a man a fishing pole and he eats forever.
But, hey. Don't learn anything like where to get the info you need. Rather you should rely on other people who know HOW go give you what you need (and trust them to tell you the truth..........ALWAYS).
Kids these days.

You have to cut and paste into your browser addy window.
Wow. You lost me there. They are going to short it at 6 or so and cover with shares they pay 8.20 for and that's profitable for them? Hmmmm.
Frost bought 6K on 11/29/13 averaging 10.53. That's 317.2K for Nov.
Frost bought 10.9K on 11/27/13 averaging 10.31. That's 311.2K for Nov so far.
Frost bought 6.5K on 11/26/13 averaging 10.45. That's 300.3K for Nov so far.
And you are a butt biscuit. Your point?
It's the season to be generous. In that spirit, I can imagine that you are working from a script (as you are paid to do). So, no discredit to you, but your employer has handed you a smoking turd of a script to tout.
There is nobody here who paid 16 bucks for OPK; no 16 baggies. You are blowing smoke up your own (well, if you speak English as a first language, you can fill in the rest).
OTOH, if you're actually as stupid as you represent yourself to be, maybe you could actually read some SEC filings (or is that, given the stupidity thing, impossible)?
In any case, stupid or just working for a buck, you should know that all you are is some slap-stick clown. Nothing you say is going to move the stock one way or the other.
It must suck being you. I hear Walmart is hiring for the season. GL (as you need it).
Frost bought 14.8K on 11/25/13 averaging 9.93. That's 293.8K for Nov so far.
Once again you got your virtual mouth in gear before your brain.......giving you credit for having one you notice.
Nice try, Ace. Next time you go for a put down, you might want to know something about the context of the thing. Meantime, why dontcha Google Waterfront Properties in AZ?
What butt biscuit you are. LOL. What's even funnier, however, is the idea you have enough capital left after your disastrous short play on OPK to own real estate anywhere. You probably have 1-800-AVOIDBK on speed dial.

The animation was okay.
The voice acting lacked enthusiasm and wasn't very good.
All I can really say is it wasn't very good, but at least you put some form of effort into it.

Jessica is going to literally STRING me alive for this, but I called the Camping and Engineering Service at National to get a "reading" on the written statement, which does appear even in the most current printing of the 50 Miler Award application (which also doubles as the Historic Trail Application, it being on the other side of the form).
Here's what the Associate Director of Camping had to say (in the absence of the Director of the Program Group (whom is out at Philmont and won't be back until the middle of next month):
"The 50-Miler Award is a national award with local Council implementation. If a Troop (in this case, Al's) wants to go 80 miles during a 5 day period, they may do this as long as the BSA's health and safety, leadership and permission policies are met TO THE LETTER. While many "regular" Troops and Posts won't be able to go any more than 50 miles in a 5 day period, the requirements as stated should be viewed as the MINIMUM required to earn the award."
"There's also a conservation element to those requirements, so make sure that when you tell (Al) about the requirements, that he knows that ALL of the requirements must be met in order to earn the patch or decal."
"Some Scouts use the 50-miler as part of their requirements toward the Hiking or Cycling Merit Badges, and that's alright with us as long as it's alright with the local Council. Again, I cannot stress enought that although the patches and decals are given in the name of the BSA, it's basically a program of the local Council's camping subcommittee of the program group to implement and approve. We don't even get copies of the applications. Instead, we get a summary provided by each Council (in December or January for the previous year). "
As an aside, I have taken Scouts and Scouters on ELEVEN 50-milers over the past 14 years, by foot, afloat and by bicycle (oh mack fun! *hehee*), covering everything from 50 miles in 5 days to 200 miles plus in 17 days; and the most that I've had to provide my local Council was a local tour permit, a listing of all leaders and their qualifications, and the route of travel and overnight stays along the trails. Everything else was up to my chartered partners and me to coordinate. This included two 50-milers done during spring breaks in the former West Germany.
>2) In Scouting most, leaders need to understand the difference > between National Policies and suggestions. The BSA has a number > of Safety policies, but mostly we have suggestions and guidelines. > These suggestions as so that the Chartering Organization with little > or no experience with the outdoors may have some guidelines on how > to operate a safe outdoor program. To my knowledge there is no > national policy regarding the number of miles a Scout may hike > in a day. Even Kathie in her note used the term "safety guidelines"
Well said, Mike! Kathie and I have a slight disagreement on what is a "policy" and what is a "guideline", but I still respect her ability to find the "appropriate answers" for us all here. The problem is, that while you and me (from our professional experiences) and Kathie and a few others (whom have been around the program long enough to know what will *stop* an activity and what will *slow it down*) know, the vast majority here (and many, many others not here) don't know and they have to rely on SLOPPY, snap answers from professionals that don't want to research or pick up the phone and ask; or worse, from volunteers that are not looking after the unit's welfare and instead have their "own personal agendas" to think about. This is a great example of the latter.
I still encourage Al and others to find out from their local Council, but if the answer don't sound right (or is confusing, as in the case of the application), to ask.
Yes, I *did* ask Terry to please see if they will consider printing a new version with the words "minimum standards include:" before the rest of the requirements. I think that would go a LONG way in resolving this.
>3) I sure everyone would agree that it would be nice to for a unit > leader to have access to and to read every relevant piece of > information about a subject before taking on any activity, but > let's be fair: > * The BSA has in print currently over 3,000 (yes three thousand) > pamphlets, books, and forms. > * Many items of BSA policy are constantly being revise, this > makes some of the forms that are in print and available to > units WRONG.
And most local Councils don't have the resources out there to insure that the things you pick up from their offices reflect CURRENT BSA policy or that of your local Council. A single person could make that their jobs for a year and STILL won't have every current piece on stock because much of it is "currently in revision" or is "currently being field-tested" as a result of someone like Al ASKING "why is this so", and others like Mike and myself bringing the issue to our "bosses" and those that would have some influnce in getting the matter resolved or at least explained better.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And to the analysis of Shields and Brooks. That's syndicated columnist Mark Shields and New York Times columnist David Brooks.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here this Friday night. It's good to see you.
The financial markets, way down, way up, down again. They ended up a little bit down today. The Federal Reserve pumped in billions of dollars. Effect on policy and effect on the body politic, David?
DAVID BROOKS, Columnist, New York Times: It depends on the spillover. I mean, I think if it's just the financial markets, as the two financial experts we had on earlier in the program seem to suggest, it won't have a broad effect on the body politic.
And the reasons for that are that the world economy is phenomenally strong, as they said. For those of us who are not professional economists, the number I always look at is just productivity, because that's really about the underlying health of the economy. And the latest productivity numbers were, I think 1.8 percent, 1.9 percent growth, which is not fantastic, but OK.
So I think what we're seeing is a basically healthy economy with this housing market and all that, without a lot of spillover, at least in the abstract, on the electorate. But that is not to say there's not a lot of economic anxiety out there.
And to me one of the crucial questions of the 2008 election is that economic anxiety tied to broader anxiety about the war and about the state of the country, or is there something new going on where you could have economic anxiety while we have decent economic growth?
JUDY WOODRUFF: Could that be what's going on, Mark?
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I'm not sure, Judy, but I do think that this is the last pillar of the Bush administration has been the good economy that David described. I mean, it's been -- even critics have to concede it's been low unemployment, low inflation, low interest rates, high corporate profits.
And if, in fact, this is a real shaking of that, with everything else, the immigration bill gone, no prospect of a domestic agenda, the Iraq war being enormously and conspicuously unpopular, then it really does have political anxiety and political impact.
I think there is not a human face on what's happened so far. I mean, it's not private equity or hedge fund managers or whatever. But I think when the human dimension of people losing their homes, and then those homes going unsold once they're repossessed because of the softening of the market -- and this is an economy that's rested very much on consumer confidence -- then housing values in the neighborhoods affected where the houses are repossessed go down, I think that's going to have a ripple effect that has both political and economic implications.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We saw one mortgage company go under and laid off hundreds of people, but broadly speaking that hasn't happened yet.
DAVID BROOKS: Right. But if it did, it would have some impacts. As I said, I don't think that's happened. I think the broader issue is, do people feel more economically insecure, even while unemployment is low? Do they feel their wages are stagnating?
And then the crucial debate, which I think is shaping up between Republicans and Democrats, Republicans believe that wages may not be keeping up with productivity, but the system fundamentally works. If you get educated, if you get people better educated, they will see their incomes go up. A lot of people on the left think, no, the system is now so fundamentally broken even with skills and education they will not see their incomes grow up. And that leads to radical consequences.
MARK SHIELDS: It is getting closer to '07, Judy, and I'm very upset about it, as a citizen, because I really believe the genius of the nominating system, with all its drawbacks and all its shortcomings, has been the Iowa-New Hampshire electorates. I think they are very special.
I think they take their responsibilities very special, very sincerely and seriously. They go to see candidates. They hold candidates accountable. After New Hampshire, it's the last time candidates have to talk to real voters. It's the last time that they have to answer questions from schoolteachers, and truck drivers, and nurses without their intervening media consultants. After New Hampshire, it's all tarmac landings at airports and TV studios.
And I'm fearful that we're compressing this so much that we're going to use that special quality and we're going to have a de facto national primary where the under-financed underdog candidate, whether it was Pat Robertson or Pat Buchanan or Jimmy Carter or George Bush the first in 1987, has a chance in an Iowa to spring an upset, just by connecting with voters. And I'm fearful that we're looking where big money is going to be the determinate in our politics.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Do you worry about that?
DAVID BROOKS: I do, and for similar reasons. The crucial thing about Iowa and New Hampshire is that, when you go and campaign with the candidates, there will be a couple reporters, maybe one or two at this stage. And then there will be crowds of 25.
MARK SHIELDS: That's right.
DAVID BROOKS: And so they actually do have a conversation. When you have a crowd of a thousand, it's nothing. It's just a rally. But the effect of South Carolina moving forward, it pushes all the others forward, Iowa and New Hampshire forward, really crammed into a January period.
For Republicans, that's good news, because they want the earlier the better, because as soon as there's a nominee, George Bush is no longer head of the party. They got somebody else. So Republicans actually want it a little sooner.
But then the other question is, you've got all these big states coming February 5th. If Iowa and New Hampshire are close to February 5th, then I think whoever wins those two states really will sweep through February 5th. But if there's a big gap between the early Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina and the big states February 5th...
DAVID BROOKS: Right, I think then the momentum of those first states could be broken. And, for example, Mitt Romney could do well in the early little states, but Rudy Giuliani would have time to recover in the big states, and so he might not get swept away the way he might otherwise do.
MARK SHIELDS: I disagree with that scenario that David has laid out. I do think if the same candidate wins Iowa and New Hampshire that the candidate, unless there's some revelation intervening, is odds-on favorite, irrespective...
JUDY WOODRUFF: You do?
MARK SHIELDS: I really do. I still think they'll have -- if, in fact, we have breathing space between them. We've always had in the past -- we had eight days between Iowa and New Hampshire, and then we had at least 10 days, two weeks. So it's only the Republicans in South Carolina who are moving. It's not the Democrats, but that's what's scrambling the whole system.
And they push Iowa back to the point where you're talking New Year's Day, Christmas, I mean, Judy, political polling firms stop polling in the middle of December because people are preoccupied with Christmas presents, and parties, and children, and family, and reunions, and travel. The only people who would be involved over the holidays in politics are single-issue zealots. And the genius of Iowa and New Hampshire is you get this broad participation. And I'm afraid, you know, that would...
JUDY WOODRUFF: But the candidates can't just take off in December just because, say, Iowa is on January the 5th or something, can they?
DAVID BROOKS: No, they would be there. And as somebody said earlier in the week, they'd be running negative ads at Christmastime, and that would be unusual and jarring.
MARK SHIELDS: "Little Drummer Boy" and your mother...
MARK SHIELDS: We're learning that the proliferation of debates has been very good for Senator Hillary Clinton. I think you can make the case that Senator Clinton, by the extent of her performance in these debates, has lengthened her national lead in the polls. I hasten to add that national numbers are a lagging political indicator when it comes to individual primary states like Iowa and New Hampshire, but still she's enhanced her position.
I think overall they've hurt the party. I mean, the Democratic Party's problem is that it is seen as a confederation of coddled interest groups and that they seem to approach every constituency with, "What do you want? Let me tell you, I'm with you."
And with each group -- I mean, there's a defensible case to have it before labor, before the gay and lesbian, before the Hispanics, before the -- you know, next, it's going to be the Irish-Jewish Home for the Incredibly Short. I mean, they just go to these little groups.
And voters say that's a doubt they have about Democrats, whether they can speak to the entire nation as one. And I really think that the proliferation -- plus, it takes away from the drama of debates themselves, I mean, which historically have been very important in voters' judgments. There's just too many of them.
DAVID BROOKS: Well, all the candidates in both parties hate the debates. They've lost control of their own campaigns. They can't determine their schedule, because they've got to go to the debates, they've got to spend a couple days preparing. So they've lost control of their campaigns. They can't go to Iowa when they want to.
JUDY WOODRUFF: They don't have much time to prepare now. They're practically...
DAVID BROOKS: Well, they are practically -- and the viewership is going down, and so there this pandering factor. It's been interesting to me watching the candidates to try to pander without going overboard, so keeping one eye on the general election -- and that was especially true in the gay and lesbian debate, where if you read what they said, you get the impression all of them support gay marriage in their hearts. None of them can actually say it because they think it will hurt them politically if they got the nomination, so they're trying to walk, suggest, "I'm really with you, but I can't be with you." And there's a lot of pandering without totally trying to go overboard.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Mark, you're saying that's not healthy for the Democrats?
MARK SHIELDS: I don't think it's healthy for the Democrats. I really don't. I mean, I think if the Democrats are seen as little more than constituency coddlers caressing every erogenous zone of the body politic, it's not going to be helpful.
MARK SHIELDS: Well, I think it's real. I mean, I think there's a sea change in attitudes in the country. The president's mantra has been historically, consistently, "You know better to do with your money than the federal government does."
And I just think -- and when you've got 77,000 bridges that are structurally deficient, the same definition as the bridge over the Mississippi in Minneapolis that collapsed, then, you know, I can't build it. I don't care how big the tax cut they give David, me, you, anybody else; we can't pool our resources and do that.
And I really think that this is one where the president's locked in on his anti-tax ideology. I think there really is an understanding that we have to do something. We're about to run out of our highway trust fund in two years.
DAVID BROOKS: My problem is, if you read the whole statement that he said, he really didn't come out against the gas tax. What he did, there was a long paragraph where he talks about how the appropriations process worked, and he said, "Earmarks come first, and then the only thing left over is what we do to our priorities." And then he said, before we think about taxes that might affect the economy, we've got to fix that process. And so I think that's a perfectly legitimate point, that the earmarks are taking control over our spending on whether they should go to bridges or anything else.
MARK SHIELDS: He's a born again...
DAVID BROOKS: Well, I'm not saying he's not against the gas tax. Every elected official, Democratic or Republican, is against the gas tax. I've never met a single one who's going to come out and say, "I'm going to raise your gas tax."
MARK SHIELDS: Jim Oberstar. I mean, Jim Oberstar and the Democrats, I mean, are doing it...
MARK SHIELDS: ... from Minnesota himself, the chairman of the committee in the House. And the reality is, I mean, you're right. I mean, Bill Clinton paid dearly for it. He raised gasoline by three cents a gallon, three-and-a-half cents a gallon in 1993 and he paid for it in 1994. It is a dangerous thing to do.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, what about Mark's point that this is not something the private sector or is it something the private sector...
DAVID BROOKS: Well, I know bridges and roads -- I mean, there are people who believe in road privatization, but I think overall, if you look historically, we've generally spent 1 percent of GDP on infrastructure. The last couple decades, we've been spending .7 percent, .8 percent. I think we've been under-spending on infrastructure, and I think you can make the case we should go back up to 1.0 percent, but that doesn't mean that the appropriations process is not fundamentally flawed with all the earmarks and all that other stuff misusing our priorities.
MARK SHIELDS: And the president who saw the budget increase by 50 percent during his first term, you know, never with the threat of a veto, has now become -- he's discovered the veto and threat. So I don't know where we are on it, but I think, if he does endorse and embrace a tax increase, even a five-cent-a-gallon tax increase on gasoline, I'd be surprised.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we're glad you're part of our infrastructure, David Brooks and Mark Shields. I've been saving that one. Thank you.
MARK SHIELDS: In need of repair.

I just returned the Samson 55 for the L6 XDS this past Saturday and played it live on Sunday. I don't know if it's 'cause the L6 is UHF and the Samson was VHF or what, but I had to turn the on board volume of the Samson to almost nothing to quiet the noise. Plus the L6 works off my 1Spot and you have to use Samson's wall plug or it won't work. Maybe it being VHF or actually having antennae made a difference but the flourescent lights wreaked havoc on the Samson. The L6 was clear as a bell and quiet. No knobs to turn or fool with just plug and play. The L6 is about the size of a pedal and really works great. I let my snobbery of L6 products dictate my decision and I learned a lesson. Plus I'm not good enough to be a snob. The Samson REALLY made a noticeable difference in sound even at home alone. REALLY compressed. Me personally, I couldn't tell an audible difference in sound between the L6 and cord. The power switch for the Samson was also inside the battery compartment and I didn't like that. I opened the battery door to switch it off and the battery fell out and hit the mic on my amp and sent a reverberating sound throughout the congregation. If I hadn't panic'd I'd have been OK, but I instictively tried to catch it and disconnected it and to the floor it went. Both belt packs absolutely eat 9V batteries, but I'm reading that's probably the case with any unit. Both are also plastic and neither would probably survive a big crash, but not much today is made to last big hits. |

PacquiaoTo Finish In Less Than Three Rounds
It seems that every boxer wants to comment on Pacquiaovs Marquez fight. According to the eyes of former two-time world champion Gerry Peñalosa, the 12-round super fight will be cut short to only three rounds. Peñalosa believes that the third fight with Marquez will not be as exciting and thrilling than those of the past few fights. The 38-year old Peñalosa is well known to be a close friend from the world's top pound-for-pound boxer.
Peñalosa pointed out that Marquez's decision to move up on the weight class could spell disaster from their fight. Moving up and down like elevators from lightweight division, Marquez is signing his death warrant. Marquez needs to bulk up some welterweight to add an additional nine pounds to meet the catch weight of 144lbs.
