The Giant Gila Monster may have been the perfect make-out movie. After all, as a low-budget, B-movie sci-fi/horror hybrid aimed directly at the insatiable teenage market, it played drive-ins in the late 1950s and early 1960s, yet it is so inept and boring that I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to watch it all the way through. So, even if stuck on a blind date about whom you're not particularly enthused, making out was certainly the better option over watching the movie.
Even hard-core fanatics of 1950s-era creature features will have a hard time getting excited about The Giant Gila Monster (which, by the way, is pronounced Hee-lah). Right up front is the problem with the creature itself: As movies of this sort live or die by the novelty of the rampaging creature and the subsequent delight it gives the audience watching it crush things, the titular monstrous lizard seen here is quite yawn-inducing. In fact, it is nothing more than a beaded gila lizard shot in extreme close-up wandering around poorly constructed models. While the classic-era stop-motion animation of FX wizards like Ray Harryhausen and Willis O'Brien were never particularly convincing, they were still a joy to watch because you got an immediate sense of the hours and hours of hard work and toil that went into them, the love and dedication of the labor (even the rubbery Godzilla movies at least feature the intricate details of the elaborate Tokyo sets). Watching a lizard drag its belly around a mound of dirt with a few branches stuck in it to resemble trees does not elicit the same response.
The Giant Gila Monster follows the prototype established by The Blob (1958), in which the producers combine the creature feature with the juvenile delinquent film, thus getting two drive-in genres for the price of one. That way, teenagers got to see themselves projected on-screen as larger-than-life heroes who get the monster in the end, rather than cops, military officers, or scientists, as in earlier atomic monster movies of the 1950s.
The hero here is a young, misunderstood rock-a-billy youth named Chase Winston (Don Sullivan). He works at the garage in a small, rural, West Texas town and dreams of being a singer-songwriter, but everyone in town seems to think he's a bad seed. The local sheriff (Fred Graham) has a soft spot for him, and understands that he is basically a good kid who has taken on a great deal of responsibility in his life (a single mother and a crippled little sister). This is not the perspective of Mr. Wheeler (Bob Thompson), the wealthiest and meanest man in town. Mr. Wheeler's teenage son has disappeared along with his girlfriend, and he believes that Chase may have had something to do with it.
In fact, a lot of people are disappearing, as well as cattle. Lots of wrecked cars with no bodies are found, yet no one seems to catch on that a large lizard living in the underbrush outside of town is responsible until it literally crashes a barn dance near the end of the movie. This brings up the movie's other major creature-related problem, which is that the Gila Monster is never posited as being particularly evil or malicious. Rather, most of the damage it does seems to be out sheer clumsiness due to its size (for instance, it causes a massive train wreck by destroying a bridge, but it's only because it couldn't quite fit underneath). Thus, the final attack on the barn dance seems out of step with its earlier behavior.
But, then again, this is the kind of movie where simple continuity between day and night proves to be a problem. Director Ray Kellogg, screenwriter Jay Simms, and producer Ken Curtis, the same team who made The Killer Shrews (1959), try to liven the movie up with some bad rock songs and a few heavy doses of sentimentality, but nothing can save this ill-fated disaster. The lesson learned here is, if you concoct a movie that requires something as elaborate as a giant lizard crushing cars and buildings, makes sure you have a budget that is, at the very least, large enough to pay for some blue-screen shots so the human victims can be seen in the same frame with the monster a few times.
King of the Bs Roger Corman, on the other hand, was a much more practical schlock filmmaker than Ray Kellogg was. He knew his tight budgetary and aesthetic limits, yet he still managed to churn out movies that weren't half-bad because they were firmly grounded in interesting ideas. The Wasp Woman is a good example, as it is a campy creature feature that also has some interesting themes regarding science run amok and the fruitless human search for eternal youth (as an added bonus, the acting is pretty good, too).
The lead actress is Susan Cabot, one of Corman's favorite actresses (she appeared in six of his films in three years, including 1957's Carnival Rock and 1958's Saga of the Viking), in her final film role. Cabot plays Janice Starlin, a beautiful and business-savvy woman who has founded her own cosmetics company. Unfortunately, the company is floundering because its products have always been sold using her face as the selling point, and Janice isn't getting any younger. Although still very attractive, she does not have the perfectly smooth, early-20s visage that once sold millions of cosmetics to eager women who wanted to look like she did.
Enter Dr. Zinthrop (Michael Mark), a slightly off-kilter scientist who approaches her about a youth serum he is working on that is made from the jelly of queen wasps. Janice is skeptical at first, until she watches Dr. Zinthrop inject an adult guinea pig with the serum, which then proceeds to revert back to being a baby (he does this with dogs and cats, as well).
Janice quickly volunteers to be his first human test subject, and when minimal doses of the serum over a period of weeks do not get the necessary results, she starts sneaking into the lab and shooting up with a lot more (the overtones of drug addiction, especially heroin and morphine, are hard to ignore). This gets the results she needs, as she starts looking like she's 23 again, but it has the unfortunately nasty side effect of turning her into a giant wasp at night who feeds on the blood of anyone she can find. Dr. Zinthrop doesn't turn out to be any help because he is hit by a car and suffers serious brain damage.
The make-up effects in the movie are certainly cheesy—Janice's silly wasp head and claw-like hands are directly inspired by the similarly ludicrous make-up effects in The Fly (1958). Corman knows this, and he wisely keeps his camera from lingering for too long on Janice when in wasp mode; instead, he cuts quickly, allowing us only quick glimpses before Janice moves in for the kill (which is depicted in fairly gruesome terms by 1950s standards).
Corman and screenwriter Leo Gordon (who scripted two more Corman-directed efforts, 1962's The Tower of London and 1963's The Terror) play with the conventions of the horror movie in some interesting ways. For instance, much of the action takes place in a modern high-rise office building, yet it is used in much the same was as an old Gothic castle would be, with foreboding hallways, locked doors, a mad scientist's laboratory, and victim's screams barely being heard by others through the walls. Corman and Gordon figured quite rightly that Janice could do some nasty work in the building without anyone noticing for some time; the building's sheer size makes it easy for her to kill victims and hide the bodies late at night.
The movie's underlying paranoia about aging is also a prescient one, especially in the cruel irony of a powerful businesswoman who, despite her professional skills and economic success, is still tied to her physical appearance. Yet, that physical appearance is deemed so important that is literally willing to kill for it. The Wasp Woman's ultimate message about the dangers of science tampering too much with nature is as old and well-worn as themes come in science fiction and horror (dating back at least to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein), yet Corman makes it work again, even with minimal resources at hand.
Drive-In Discs Volume Two: The Giant Gila Monster / The Wasp Woman | |
This is the second entry in a multi-volume collectible DVD series from Elite Entertainment, each of which contains a double-feature and memorable drive-in extras such as cartoon shorts, commercials, coming attractions, and intermission. | |
Widescreen | 1.85:1 |
Anamorphic | Yes |
Audio | DISTORTO! in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround 1.0 Monaural |
Languages | English |
Subtitles | None |
Supplements | Popeye animated short Betty Boop animated short Preview trailer: I Bury the Living Classic ads, including "Pic, the smoking bug repellant" and "Chilly Dilly" "Let's All Go to the Lobby" animated intermission clip 10-minute countdown clock "Hello Young Lovers" promo "Keep Quiet During the Movie" warning "Tex Rides Again" refreshment break short Announcement warning viewers not to drive off with speakers "America, the Beautiful" |
Distributor | Elite Entertainment |
At least half of the image quality on this disc is a marked improvement over the quality of the two features included on the first volume of Elite's Drive-In Discs series. Both films are presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1), although The Wasp Woman is by far the better looking of the two movies, with a clear, sharp image that is almost completely free of any dirt, scratches, or other signs of age. The black-and-white image is nicely detailed, with fine shadings of gray and generally solid black levels. The Giant Gila Monster proves to be significantly more problematic, as there are numerous signs of damage in the form of nicks, scratches, and vertical lines throughout. More troubling is the overall softness of the image, which washes out any sense of texture or detail, and the muddiness of the night scenes, which are all but indiscernible at times. I have the suspicion that this film did not look very good even when it first played in 1959, as the darkest scenes are the ones that feature the titular monster, and were most likely shot in such a manner to purposefully obscure the lousy special effects. Given the low quality of the image, one wonders why Elite chose to include The Giant Gila Monster, since it is available on DVD from no less than three other companies. | |
Again, the second volume of the Drive-In Discs series utilizes the aural gimmick of DISTORTO!, which is actually in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround, but the soundtrack from the film is in one-channel monaural and is isolated in the left front speaker, thus mimicking the drive-in single speaker that you used to affix to your driver's side window. The other four channels are then used to emit various background noises that you might hear at a drive-in: crickets chirping, people chattering at the concession stand, cars driving in and parking, and the crunching of gravel beneath people's feet. Once again, the 5.1 surround soundtrack does an excellent job of making these background noises subtle, but effective, with creative imaging between the two rear speakers. While the movies are playing, the surround channels generally emit only the sound of crickets chirping, although, during The Giant Gila Monster, the sound of a plane flying overhead is thrown in at one point. During the ads between the movies, though, the surround speakers are active with the sarcastic comments and laughs of a group of teen viewers, which gives you the feeling of being inside the car while they are talking. | |
This second disc features many of the same nostalgic drive-in extras that appeared on the first volume (all of which are presented in anamorphic widescreen), including the famous cartoon commercials for "Pic, the smoking bug repellent" and "Chilly Dilly" pickles, as well as the "Let's All Go to the Lobby" animated intermission clip. New this time around are different Popeye and Betty Boop animated shorts, a new candy counter animated ad, a different 10-minute intermission countdown clock, and a new preview for I Bury the Living, which will appear on Volume Three of the Drive-In Discs series. (However, the preview for The Hand, which will also appear on Volume Three, was apparently left out, even though the press materials claim it was included.) As before, the disc offers the option of watching the double-feature presentation straight through as if you were actually at a drive-in theater, which means that all the extras are shown in a particular order structured around the two movies. Or, you can view the features, ads, and shorts separately (with the odd exception of the I Bury the Living trailer, which can only be viewed as part of the double-feature).

I walk in and see a medium sized walk in at the rear of the shop. Nothing special inside, but everything seems to be properly cared for with a good humidification system, humidity levels, etc.
I'm looking through some boxes to see if the Short Story's or Work of Art's are Maduro when a sealed box of Ashton ESG 20 Year Salute catches my eye. The next thing I notice is a price tag on it for $78.00.
I take it up front and the lady at the register gets ready to ring it up.
Me: "Is this the correct price on the box?"
Cashier: "Yes it is."
Me: "Are you sure? It seems way too cheap."
Cashier to Manager or Owner: "Brenda is this box of cigars priced correctly at $78.00?"
Brenda: (In raspy voice that sounds like she smokes up all the cigarette profits the store makes) "That's correct! They were here from the previous owner four or five years ago. We can't seem to give those things away."
Me: "Okay, I'll take the entire box then."
I was on cloud nine when I left. Later on I started to feel guilty, as if I had taken advantage and should have been more adamant, saying these things sell for about $450.00 a box.
My wife thinks I did the right thing in questioning it and really did not even have to do that.
What would you have done?

Another Miyazaki film series coming to the Loft in June
Tuesday, May 28th, 2013The Studio Ghibli Collection

Only Yesterday / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Sunday, Jun 2nd 2013Directed by Isao Takahata and produced by Hayao Miyazaki, Only Yesterday is a double period piece that beautifully evokes both the 1960s and the 1980s, and is the quintessential drama of Japanese school-day nostalgia.
Pom Poko / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Thursday, Jun 6th 2013In this brilliant and often overlooked Studio Ghibli masterpiece, the forests are filled with groups of magical tanuki, mischievous raccoon-like animals from Japanese folklore that are capable of shape-shifting from their standard raccoon form to practically any object.
Whisper of the Heart / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Sunday, Jun 9th 2013A masterpiece about the awakening of creative talent, Whisper of the Heart was the first and only full-length feature by Hayao Miyazaki's protégé Yoshifumi Kondo before his sudden death at the age of 47. It remains one of the classics of Japanese animation.
Ocean Waves / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Thursday, Jun 13th 2013Rarely seen outside of Japan, Ocean Waves is a subtle, poignant and wonderfully detailed story of adolescence and teenage isolation. Full of shots bathed in a palette of pleasingly soft pastel colors and rich in the unexpected visual details typical of Studio Ghibli's most revered works, Ocean Waves is an accomplished teenage drama and a true discovery.
My Neighbors The Yamadas / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Sunday, Jun 16th 2013In a break from the frequently mythical storytelling of Studio Ghibli, director Isao Takahata wryly tweaks the everyday activities of family life with his depiction of the irresponsible, slovenly, and lazy Yamada family and their unassuming way of life.
The Cat Returns / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Thursday, Jun 20th 2013In this sequel to Whisper of the Heart, a quiet suburban schoolgirl, Haru, is pitched into a fantastical feline world and must find her inner strength to make her way back home.
Grave of the Fireflies / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Sunday, Jun 23rd 2013Two children, Seita and his little sister Setsuko, are at the centre of this deeply moving anime classic from Studio Ghibli, set in Japan during World War II. Director Isao Takahata creates a visually stunning and emotionally powerful film that meditates on the devastating consequences of war.
Ponyo, directed by Hayao Miyazaki! / The Studio Ghibli Collection
Starts on Thursday, Jun 27th 2013Perfect for audiences of all ages, Ponyo centers on the friendship between five-year-old Sosuke and a magical goldfish named Ponyo, the young daughter of a sorcerer father and a sea-goddess mother. After a chance encounter, Ponyo yearns to become a human so she can be with Sosuke.
The January film series of Hayao Miyazaki's films was very popular, and here is another chance to enjoy Japanese animation at its best, and in the cool Loft theaters.
Note: I am also a volunteer at the Loft Cinema, and have been for years.

Honors College Information
The Honors College and Learning Communities are distinct but complementary. Participation in both is not only possible, but can also enhance the overall experience of students who attend Purdue University. Students who have accepted an invitation to the Honors College are welcome to apply for any Learning Community for which they are eligible (i.e. designated college, major or university-wide eligibility). These eligibility requirements are listed on each individual Learning Community profile page; from the overall Profiles page, students can simply click on the college/school to which they have been admitted to see the appropriate options.
- First-year admission to the Honors College is by invitation
- Honors College students who live on campus are required to live with the Honors College
- Honors College students may participate in non-residential or residence-optional Learning Communities
Participants in the Honors College who are planning to live on campus will be housed in Shreve Hall; a Housing Contract must be completed by May 5th, 2013, for those who intend to live on campus (http://www.housing.purdue.edu/Housing/Contracting/Undergraduate.html). Questions regarding status as an Honors College participant should be directed to the Honors College (765-494-2929 or email@example.com). Questions regarding completing a Housing Contract should be directed to University Residences (765-494-1000).
IMPORTANT:The Honors College is a residential experience in Shreve Hall. Honors students who apply for and are placed in a Learning Community (LC) with an optional residential component will live with the Honors College in Shreve Hall rather than the LC. For example, if you apply for and are placed in the Animalia LC AND have accepted your invitation to the Honors College, you will live in Shreve Hall with the Honors College and participate in the LC activities and courses with the Animalia LC. Accepting your invitation to the Honors College does not influence your eligibility to be placed in a LC, only your residential placement. As the Honors College is a residential experience, it is incompatible with LCs that have a residential requirement.

If you're looking for a grave in those areas, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I have always been interested in family history and was a searcher of old cemeteries beginning when I was in 4th grade on a driving trip to Florida. My parents said they would stop at any historical marker, memorial, or cemetery I wanted to see. We stopped and looked a LOT on that trip and I was hooked.

Time to consider the people's human rights!
It is said that all men are boys at heart and so it seemed this morning when Albert delivered his latest hens to the allotment. Like all living creatures hens are at their most appealing when tiny and the 10 week old Blacktails drew an admiring circle rather like that to be seen at the local baby clinic. As we eventually dispersed to pursue our various duties it struck me that the world would be a better place if it centered around simple things and activities. Sadly it doesn't, and this morning's papers lost no time in spelling out once again the horror of mad people on the loose.
Yesterday a bomb was found on a plane owned by UPS, the parcel carrier, at East Midlands airport. The device contained PETN (as used in the failed attempt to blow up a flight to Detroit at Christmas 2009) and mobile phone parts "cleverly hidden" in a Hewlett Packard printer. PETN is a powerful plastic explosive that is colourless, odourless and cannot be detected easily. The total weapon was similar to one found in Dubai and was described by experts as prepared in a "professional manner where a closed electrical circuit was connected to a mobile phone SIM card hidden inside the printer.
Both British and American intelligence agencies believe the bombs were constructed and placed on board the planes by al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. Although the packages were addressed to synagogues in Chicago – President Obama's home city – experts have suggesetd that the intention would have been to stage a mid-air explosion. Explosives expert Andy Oppenheimer is quite clear about that. He asks "why bother sending packages across continents when you could simply send them from within the United States?" He and other experts believe the intention was to bring down transport planes on to areas of dense population. Let us not mince words, these madmen intended to murder just as many men, women and children as could be achieved by a jetliner crashing down amongst them.
Some theorists believe that the timing was aimed to coincide with the run-up to the American mid-term elections thus speading huge resistance to Obama's policy in Afghanistan. Who knows? What we do know is that mentally unbalanced evil creatures are hell-bent on mass murder and that in this instance they were not even prepared to give their own lives for the lunacy in which they believe.
The frightening aspect is that security may not be so lucky next time. East Midlands is not the biggest airport in the land but even there over 10,000 parcels go through each night bound for America. And there are many other 'vulnerable' places. Lord West, the former security minister, has warned that the Olympic Games will be the "greatest security challenge since World War 2″. It will be the biggest sporting event ever staged in Britain and already an Olympic counter-terrorism programme is under way.
There is a major problem and threat. If the Lib Dems and, to an extent, the judiciary have their way the system of house arrest for foreign terrorist suspects will be abolished. The arrangement exists because such suspects can neither be tried nor deported. The former is due to the fact that the evidence against them comes from secret sources that could be compromised were it aired in court. The latter because deportation could be ruled by Judges to be an infringement of their human rights in that they could be placed in danger at the receiving destination.
Of course everything British cries out against the idea of punishment without trial. But we are now at a crossroads. If we have faith in our necessarily covert security organisations we have to accept that there are dangerous enemies in our midst. That being so they have to be confined whatever the advocvates of political correctness and human rights say. If we do not trust our secret guardians we might as well open wide the doors and let the bombers in.
Without doubt many good people worry about the human rights of 'victims' of raids in the night. But perhaps they have to ask themselves an even bigger question.
What about the most fundamental human right which is the freedom to walk down the street without threat or harm. The greater good must surely prevail. Logic says that the only hope is to surrender more powers to MI6 and the rest. The alternative will inevitably be thousands of innocent victims, slaughtered by vermin who recognise no human rights of any description!
When I read of Harriet Harmen's outburst against the Lib Dem Treasury Minister, Danny Alexander, I was reminded of the time when Frank Bough stained his saintly image by a rather worse indiscretion.
Miss Harman's use of the term "Ginger Rodent"seems to have shocked the nation. Perhaps that is because it came from such a seemingly saintly mouth for I cannot imagine that many people are outraged by the actual words. Most of us are called worse things everyday by staff or passengers on our crowded trains and certainly by fellow motorists consumed with rage in the eternal traffic foul-ups.
But I forget the new world order of political rectitude. Under this we are supposed to assume that the Saint was besmirching every red-headed person in the universe including those supposed to come from outer space. In reality she was simply outraged by the antics of the Lib Dems who are happily doing the exact opposite of all that they promised at the election.
Still, given the general neurosis she probably should have simply called him a rodent. My self understanding tells me that would have been my slightly more cautious approach. I suspect most of us would agree with that judgement!

Review of Books
A selection of recently published books of Irish and Irish American interest.
Click Here to purchase these books at Kenny's Books
The Empty Family
I did everything I could to not finish Colm Tóibín's latest collection of short stories, The Empty Family. I stared out of a bus window and watched the monotonous Garden State Parkway go by; I purposely did not sit down on the subway. This was not because I disliked Tóibín's latest work but, on the contrary, because I didn't want to reach the last page.
To put it simply, the stories in The Empty Family require pause. In his second collection of short fiction, Tóibín grants the same level of care and depth of inner life to each of his characters as he does to the protagonists of his seven novels, the most recent of which was the 2009 best seller Brooklyn. As Tóibín has acknowleged, these are stories of exile and return. His characters, all of them natives of either Ireland, Spain or Pakistan, are, for the most part, either finding their footing in a new land or faced with some reality of their old one. These are stories of being somewhere but having been elsewhere, and of struggling (often unsuccessfully or unconsciously) to reconcile the two.
Tóibín's fascination with Henry James is no secret: his 2005 novel, The Master, centers around a fictionalized and brilliantly empathetic account of James' life. Tóibín's interest in James also extends far into the stylistic realm, and in these stories Tóibín is arguably at his most Jamesian yet – from the quietly penetrating way he renders each of his characters to the deceptively uncomplicated grammar he employs to precisely unfold their thoughts and actions.
Fittingly, James makes an appearance in the first story of the book. Based somewhere in the truth (as many of the stories in this collection are), "Silence" details a little-known affair that Lady Gregory, co-founder of the Abbey Theatre and wife of the significantly older Sir William Henry Gregory, had with the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt. Long after the affair has ended, Lady Gregory yearns to relive it in some small way, and tells a very rearranged version of her story to an attentive James at a dinner party. This example of an inner world or a secret carefully tended to by its holder and barely glimpsed by another sets the tone for each of the powerful stories that follow – from an Irish film set designer's quiet encounter with her deceased lover's widow in "Two Women" to the slow emergence of a gay relationship between two immigrants in a Pakistani encleve in Barcelona in the final masterpiece of the collection, "The Street."

JFK in Ireland
Ryan Tubridy, the award winning Irish journalist and host of The Late Late Show, brings history to life in JFK in Ireland: Four Days that Changed a President. It opens in the Oval Office, with Kenny O'Donnell, the President's Secretary, trying to convince JFK not to go Ireland. The book quickly captures the reader's attention as Kennedy responds: "I am the President of the United States, not you. When I say I want to go to Ireland, it means that I'm going to Ireland. Make the arrangements." Having traveled to Ireland before, JFK had a strong desire to return as President.
Part travel narrative, part biography and part political discourse, the book details JFK's four days in Ireland, giving a stop-by-stop account of the trip. Yet Tubridy also takes readers on a journey through Kennedy's family history, starting with his great-grandfather's emigration from Wexford to America in 1848, all the way to JFK's assassination and funeral.
With never-before-seen photographs, as well as images of personal correspondence scanned directly into the pages of the book, JFK in Ireland is a complete portrait of JFK's love and admiration for the country of his

A Radiant Life: The Collected Journalism of Nuala O'Faolain
Most American readers will remember Nuala O'Faolain for her brave and powerful memoirs Are You Somebody? (1996), Almost There (2003) or for her novels, Dream of You (2001) and The Story of Chicago May. But O'Faolain, who died tragically early of lung cancer in 2008, was a journalist before and after she was a memoirist and novelist. From 1986 until 2007, she wrote an op-ed column for The Irish Times. In those twenty-one years, O'Faolain chronicled a changing Ireland – both its deep societal flaws and its promising milestones – from a singularly intellectual, feminist, and totally unpretentious perspective. Her articles have finally been gathered together in this posthumously compiled collection, A Radiant Life.
The columns are both funny and deeply insightful, as O'Faolain zeroes in on truths about Irish society and much more, covering everything from the class-based complexities at play during a U2 concert in Croke Park to a love letter to New York following September 11. No matter what the subject, O'Faolain is always eloquent, accessible and bitingly perceptive.

This is Your Brain on Shamrocks
Mike Farragher, a longtime writer for the Irish Voice, has published a collection of articles from and inspired by his popular "Off the Record" and "Narrowback's Corner" columns (devoted to music and the Irish-American experience respectively). In This Is Your Brain on Shamrocks, Farragher is as humorous and delightfully irreverent as ever, tackling topics such as lessons learned from guilt doled out by his mother, memories of his high school prom and St. Patrick's Day, self-deprecating and honest accounts of his efforts with diet and exercise, and a joyful account of playing the U2 album Joshua Tree all the way through with some of his buddies. In this collection, Farragher openly discusses all aspects of his experience as an Irish American in a manner that many readers will instantly connect with – pausing to think at certain moments and heartily laughing out loud at others.

Publishing is both a model and a method, an art and
a craft, for making an information asset publicly or generally known,
of declaring or reporting openly, to place before or offer to the
public [1].
It is generally understood that the complex process of publishing a scholarly work involves a suite of interdependent activities:
- Acquisition: the identification and evaluation of intellectually and financially viable properties, the peer reviewing of these projects, the negotiation of rights with property owners, and the cultivation and management of relationships with authors, editors, and stakeholders.
- Development: editorial intervention to add structural and grammatical value to a work.
- Design: the transformation of text and graphical material into aesthetically satisfy works on paper and on-line through an understanding of the principles of visual communications (typography and graphic architecture).
- Production: the manufacturing of a work on paper, or on line.
Marketing and Distribution: the research, development and execution of cost-effective campaigns and strategies to achieve maximum exposure, and sales, of the finished work.

MSF Liberia Activity UpdateJuly 30, 2003
"Not only do we not have a good sense of what the health situation is like in most of Monrovia, we have no idea what people are going through in the rest of the country where there is little or no medical care available," says Pierre Mendiharat, MSF head of mission in Monrovia.
Working under increasingly difficult conditions, twelve MSF international aid workers, including one surgeon, an anesthetist, and four doctors, continue to work with over 300 Liberian staff and 600 MSF-supported public health workers to provide some of the only health care available in they city of Monrovia, as well as in Bong county. This latest round of fighting - the third in less than two months - has forced MSF to evacuate seven international staff members, and cut back on relief activities. Before fighting in and around Monrovia began again in June, MSF and other international aid organizations had access to less than one-fourth of the country. The current fighting has reduced this access even further. Treating War Wounded in a City Under SiegeTwo MSF residences in the Mamba Point area of Monrovia have been transformed into hospitals with in- and out-patient services, an emergency room, maternity and pediatric wards, and a surgical theater. Both facilities have received dead and wounded civilians every day since the fighting restarted on Saturday, July 19. On Monday July 21 alone, when a mortar hit a nearby building housing displaced people, the MSF Mamba Point hospitals received 155 wounded civilians and 13 dead. This past Saturday, Liberian National Day, a mortar hit Newport Road School where some 6000 displaced persons were living, killing 8 and injuring 10. Over the last week, the two MSF Mamba Point Hospitals received over 400 war wounded civilians, including children, the majority injured by mortars and bullets. The few medical facilities still operating in Monrovia have not been immune to the fighting. Last Friday, a mortar landed just meters from the MSF hospitals, leaving 11 dead and over 50 wounded. Dozens of stray bullets have fallen in the MSF compounds and hospitals. One passed through the emergency room of one hospital and another through the pediatric ward, both narrowly missing patients and medical workers. An MSF surgeon injured herself while operating when she was startled after a mortar landed nearby. On Saturday, July 19, a MSF Liberian staff member was killed when a mortar hit his home.
Transporting civilian casualties of the fighting is also proving extremely difficult. In the West Point area of the city where fighting has been heavy and movement on the streets is dangerous for civilians and MSF staff, one of the oral-rehydration teams that MSF had set up in West Point has transformed itself into a wheelbarrow ambulance brigade. They have taken it upon themselves to bring severe patients to the MSF hospital in Mamba Point by stretcher and wheelbarrow. On their return trips to West Point, they carry medical supplies, food, and drinking water that MSF sends to help support the Catholic Mission Clinic there. Cholera, malaria and other illnesses going untreated?"There are many people dying of war injuries, but this is just the tip of the iceberg," says Nathalie Civet, MD, MSF medical coordinator in Monrovia. "There are also a lot of anonymous deaths due to a severe lack of medical care in the city and the rest of the country." Poor sanitation, a dearth of clean water, and overcrowding in the abandoned buildings and stadiums where tens of thousands of displaced Liberians had taken shelter in and around Monrovia led to an outbreak of cholera in June. Before the latest fighting broke out, MSF was treating more than 350 cholera patients per week in four cholera treatment units in the city. Two of these units were forced to close last week, decreasing MSF's ability to monitor the outbreak and treat those affected by the epidemic. Before the fighting restarted, MSF set up a system of 6 "lazarets" - emergency cholera treatment kits - equipped with oral-rehydration solution, chlorine, and other cholera treatment materials, as well as 8 rehydration points around Monrovia to treat dehydration and screen for cholera. Despite its present limited mobility, MSF has received reports that public health workers are utilizing these emergency preparedness measures in several parts of the city. As an indication of how the current fighting has drastically reduced access to medical care for Liberians, before MSF was forced to evacuate Redemption Hospital in northern Monrovia, surgeons there performed over 100 cesarean sections a month. But since the hospital facilities were relocated to Mamba Point, the MSF surgical unit - one of the only still functioning in the city - has performed less than 20 cesareans per month. At Redemption Hospital, MSF received at least ten new pediatric cases in need of blood transfusions due to severe malaria every month, but over the past six weeks, only three have been performed. "We can only imagine how many children, mothers, and adults are dying due to lack of primary health care, obstetrics, and transfusions," says Dr. Civet. Medical Care for Internally Displaced Persons Greatly ReducedMalnutrition and other illnesses were on the rise in the past weeks due to the lack of food, water, and medical care for tens of thousands of internally displaced persons living in camps in Montserrado county around Monrovia. Unfortunately, as of Friday, July 18, insecurity forced MSF to close its health clinics in the Seighbe, Plumcor, and Rick's camps in Montserrado that were serving approximately 21,000 internally displaced Liberians. Located directly on the frontlines of the fighting, the camps offered little security and many of the displaced have fled to already overcrowded shelters in Monrovia. MSF's work on a therapeutic feeding center with a capacity to treat up to 500 patients for severe malnutrition in Seighbe camp also had to be halted due to insecurity, as did a program offering support to victims of sexual violence. MSF staff continues to provide medical care, cholera treatment, and water in the Samuel K Doe Stadium where the numbers of internally displaced persons seeking safety has swelled to an estimated 25,000. Unconfirmed reports state that large numbers of displaced persons are fleeing the fighting in Monrovia and Montsserado county and heading to Bong county, east of Monrovia. In Bong county, MSF Liberian staff continue to run out-patient clinics serving approximately 50-60,000 displaced persons in the Salala, Maimu, and Totota camps, and provide water and sanitation support in the camps.

The Vampire Diaries' Bonnie Bennett is back from the dead! But it isn't without consequences.
Last season's finale saw the Bennett witch (Kat Graham) bring Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) back to life, but in the process, she lost her own. After keeping her death a secret for a few episodes, it finally came out, leading her friends on a mission to bring her back. A few spells, deaths and crazy doppelgangers later, Bonnie is back — but as the new anchor that binds the other side. As part of it, she must also feel the death of every supernatural being, which, of course, she has yet to tell those around her.
Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet them to @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams.

"I don't know if it's necessarily what people will expect or what people will want for Callie." We want Calzona, OK?

Bonnie's fate on The Vampire Diaries is resting on one crazy doppelganger.
In our exclusive look at Thursday's episode, Amara (Nina Dobrev) is locked up and going a little more than stir crazy. As Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) look on, Amara runs in circles, yelling out to voices that are only in her head. Guess being frozen for 2,000 years will do that to you!

Hell hath no fury like a 2,000-year-old woman scorned.
After almost a full season since the character was first mentioned, Vampire Diaries fans finally got to meet the show's most powerful witch, Qetsiyah, in the flesh. Turns out Tessa (Janina Gavankar), the Mystic Falls newcomer determined to take down Silas (Paul Wesley) was also the witch who created the immortality spell, the other side and the cure.
It ain't easy being Bonnie Bennett.
The Vampire Diaries' resident witch has gone through a lot in her life, which culminated in her death in the Season 4 finale. But while she seemed rather content with being on the other side, the death of her father and the realization that she's pretty much powerless has slapped Bonnie back to reality. So where does she go from here? And how long before the secret of her death is too much to handle? Kat Graham shares some teases for what's to come.
The Vampire Diaries Season 5 got off to a running start with a fast-paced premiere that set up Elena's upcoming internal struggle with Stefan's torturous summer. Meanwhile Damon strives to keep everything in Mystic Falls under control, Bonnie refuses to reveal her death and, most of all, Silas sets off on his incredibly villainous path of destruction while trying to track down Katherine and her now-cure-laced human blood.
Read on to find out what happens when the summer ends and the death, destruction and drama that was on hold picks up again.
How long can Bonnie keep her death a secret?
On the Vampire Diaries season premiere, summer is over which means Bonnie (Kat Graham) will have to find a new excuse for not being back from traveling. But the former witch can't bear to tell her friends the sad news about her demise, which means she — and Jeremy (Steven McQueen) — plan to keep up the ruse. But will it be long before even Jeremy is tired of telling the lie?
A threesome! Swoon-worthy Silas! 5 teases from The Vampire Diaries' Season 5 premiere
Did you get any juicy Scandal scoop when you were on set? — Laura NATALIE: Olivia Pope might be the First Mistress, but it's her co-workers who will bear the brunt of that revelation in the season premiere. "It makes it hard because they go from being people who manage other people's crises to people who have to manage their own crisis in a big way," Kerry Washington tells me. "When Olivia herself is at the center of it, it really challenges everybody. It's hard for them to figure out what their roles are. If she's the client, how can she be the boss? Who gets to make the rules?"
Got any more teases about the Hawaii Five-0 premiere? — Lindsay ADAM: Look for McGarrett to be very proactive in his efforts to find out exactly what Wo Fat's connection is to his mother. Since he can't get a straight answer from anyone in the know, he begins investigating his own hypothesis.... read more

Club 3D B.V. announces the introduction of the Radeon HD 6750 CoolStream Edition video card based on the Juniper LE chipset, AMD' second generation DirectX 11. Club 3D has built a good reputation on silent cooled video cards with the award winning CoolStream series. This card is no exception, with speeds of 700 Mhz core and 4600 Mhz for the memory with a totally silent heatpipe cooler, it makes one of the fastest silent graphics card available today. With the latest UVD hardware on board, it considerably reduces the CPU load delivering and decoding stunning Blu-Ray and H.264 content. HDMI has been upgrated to 1.4a for 3D content making it the perfect choice for a HTPC. Features Second generation Microsoft DirectX 11 support PCI Express 2.1 x16 bus interface "Eye-Definition" graphics AMD EyeSpeed visual acceleration UVD 2 dedicated video playback accelerator AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing technology DirectCompute 11 OpenCL Support AMD HD3D technology Blu-ray 3D support AMD CrossfireX multi-GPU technology Integrated HDMI 1.4a with support for stereoscopic 3D Integrated HD audio controller AMD PowerPlay power management technology
Its a redone 5750, same kind of thing nvidia did with the G92 chips (8800GT is the same as the 9800GT)
PowerColor's Go! Green version is lacking a 6-pin PCI-e plug, making it a slot powered card. Club3D's card resembles PC's SCS3 model, that has the 6-pin plug. Performance should be roughly the same, but power consumption might be a bit higher.
Another one of those rebadged 5xxx series cards. Good one AMD. The price better reflect the performance.
no need to refer to the powercolor cards at all. Club 3D themselves made a fanless 5750: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-5750-noiseless-edition.html and comparing to the 'new' card: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/pr...lub-3d-radeon-hd-6750-coolstream-edition.html only difference I found in the specs is that 6750's PCB is about 2cm longer than 5750's

The announcement of the Rock Band Network today was, of course, very important. Game changing to all Rock Band players. How much will it really change, though? It's certainly not meant to compete directly with the Guitar Hero track creator. The GH creator is more accessible to anyone, but gives a lower-quality product. It seems the RBN is really only to be used by musical artists. It's set up so that independent artists that want to make a name for themselves can.
Be honest, though. When you're downloading from GH Tunes, do you not just skip over the original tracks and jump straight to downloading the Legend of Zelda remixes? RBN has made it quite clear that it will not allow copyrighted music. That is with good reason, of course. They'd be up to their eyeballs in lawsuits if any Joe Schmoe could MIDI map his favorite Led Zeppelin song and throw it up onto the store. But that only leaves us to question, what is the point of the RBN?
While it is certainly fun discovering new songs on Rock Band, I usually reserve my paid downloads for songs that I already know. There's no way around it. It's the most fun to play along with your favorite bands and become a part of the experience that you've been enjoying for so long. I don't see a wave of independent no-name songs really making that big of a splash in the Rock Band world.
Of course, this does also open the door for professional artists to map out some of their songs and post them without waiting for Harmonix to approach them. That's to say that if "Weird Al" Yankovic had a free afternoon, he could choose to map Skipper Dan and distribute it that way. But surely it will still be an arse to squeeze through the copyright filters and the quality of the note placement will be less than we are used to (simply because it is their first time playing around with such complicated tools).
So what can we expect from RBN? You see "music creator" advertised and your first thought it, "oh cool. I finally get to play Never Gonna Give You Up on Rock Band". Where can we expect this to go and why should we care?
I want to like this idea, by the way
