Standing Committees are established by the Executive of WAC to administer core activities or to provide oversight of issues of enduring interest to WAC members. WAC Standing Committees are:
Archaeologists Without Borders
Chair: Claire Smith, Australia; Juan Salazar, Spain.
Committee: Elena Garcea, Italy; Bayo Folorunso, Nigeria; Ines Domingo Sanz, Spain.
This committee provides direction and oversight for the Archaeologists Without Borders Committee Program, a unique endeavour that supports archaeological education and training in economically disadvantaged countries. Through a network of training programs, WAC members in different parts of the world may travel to host institutions to provide educational opportunities. This program derives from the WAC mission to foster international academic interaction, and to eradicate economic barriers to education about archaeology.
By linking scholars around the world, we ensure that superior archaeological education is available to all, regardless of the economic state of one's country. In addition, WAC members are able to support one another by sharing expertise and insights and networking among members around the globe ensure continued professional and personal development.
Chair: Sean Ulm, Australia

WAC Committee on Ethics(as of 26 March 2012)
Note: we are looking for additional members to increase the regional representation and diversity of the committee. Please contact the co-chairs if you are interested in this work.
The WAC standing Committee on Ethics is committed to upholding WAC's vision and mission as a global organization of individuals and groups whose work lies in the field of archaeology or who are affected by the practices, policies, or ideas of archaeology.
Ethics are not rules to be followed or enforced; they are ideals and guiding principles from which to seek ways of acting and responding to real situations with foresight, precaution, mindfulness and attention to diverse interests and ways of knowing. WAC has in many ways set the standard for ethics in archaeology, and has done a remarkable job of living up to its principles, in great part due to the good hearts, intentions, and acts-large and small-of so many individuals. Ethics are infused fairly seamlessly in everything WAC does; they are enacted in the responses and actions of WAC's executive, member organizations, and individual members. They create a standpoint of values and responsibilities from which to make decisions as to how to act or respond to particular situations.
Some of the basic principles WAC stands for include:
Current business before the Ethics Committee includes a proposal to develop a general code of ethics (task force headed up by Sean Ulm and Ian Hodder) and the envisioning of an Inter-national code of ethics (evoked by Joan Gero and Bayo Foloronso)
In this work and in other tasks, we will look to the principles already encoded in WAC's bylaws, codes, and statements to ensure that decisions, actions, or statements complement, critically review, and expand upon these foundations.
Global Libraries
Chair: Ashley Sands, United States
Committee: Alinah K. Segobye (Botswana), Jim Robertson (United States), Miguel Alejandro Aguilar Diaz (Colombia), Cornelius Holtorf (Sweden), Ingrid Ahlgren (Marshall Islands), and Shanti Pappu (India).
The Global Libraries Program aims to develop the archaeological literary collections of economically-disadvantaged institutions. By supporting such libraries, we hope to assist archaeological and cultural heritage management students and professionals to undertake and excel at their study and work.
The program relies on the donations of WAC members, philanthropic organizations and members of the general public. Any book/journal/CD/video/etc or subscriptions are gratefully received. Alternatively, we are in need of monetary donations to support postage and to purchase useful publications for each library. Due to the high cost of postage, digital donations are especially requested. Please contact us if you would like to donate.

Chair: H. Martin Wobst, USA; Alejandro Haber, Argentina.
Committee: Raymond Assombong, Cameroon; Bayo Folorunso, Nigeria; Dan Hicks, UK; Dorothy Lippert, USA; Alejandra Korstanje, Argentina;
In keeping with one of its central goals, to advance knowledge in archaeology and foster excellence in archaeological scholarship, WAC offers a range of grants. The WAC Grants Committee assesses applications to WAC for grants and provides recommendations to the WAC Executive. The WAC Grants Committee assesses applications to WAC for grants and provides recommendations to the WAC Executive. In order to help as many people as possible, WAC prefers to provide complementary or partial funding, where possible. WAC grants include:
* Congress Travel* Publication Subsidies* Workshop or Symposium Grants
Chair: Ines Domingo Sanz, Spain.
Committee: Bayo Folorunso, Nigeria; Akira Matsuda, Japan; Nick Shepherd, South Africa; Claire Smith, Australia
The Membership Committee aims to encourage people interested in archaeological heritage to join the World Archaeological Congress. The committee, working together with the WAC Council, as regional representatives, aspires to attract new members, to retain the existing ones. One of the main commitments of the Membership Committee is to get sponsored subscriptions for individuals of economically disadvantaged countries who deserve to have a voice in the world of archaeology.
· The responsibilities of the Membership Committee include:· Personally contact all the new members to welcome them and make them aware of the benefits of their WAC membership.· Personally contact non-renewals and expiring members to recruit them back to membership.· Encourage individuals or organisations to sponsor the Membership of Indigenous People or Scholars from Economically Disadvantaged Countries. · Develop a list of potential members from economically disadvantaged countries needed of a sponsored subscription.· Identify the underrepresented areas and generate strategies for individual recruitment.
Chair: Sven Ouzman, South Africa.
Committee: George Abungu, Kenya; Cristobal Gnecco, Colombia; Cornelius Holtorf, Sweden; Arek Marciniak, Poland; Naoko Matsumoto, Japan; Martin Wobst, USA; Larry Zimmerman, USA
The World Archaeological Congress (WAC) Publications Committee seeks to solicit, encourage and facilitate information about archaeology and its role in wider society through a network of traditional and new media. WAC is the world's most culturally, geographically, politically and theoretically representative archaeological organisation. This is both a strength in the breadth of perspective it offers, and a challenge in that achieving consensus can be difficult. Debate is always vigorous, even on the matter of how best to disseminate archaeological knowledge. Books are usually expensive, Anglophone, and supportive of a small publishing hegemony. Internet texts assume people have the means, ability and inclination regularly to access the worldwide web. Oral presentations and performances are time and cost-intensive, reaching small audiences. Audio-video productions require equipment and privilege especially the sense of vision.
Thus, the most adequate way of ensuring archaeological knowledge is both created and consumed by the widest possible audience is to embrace all of these fora; as well as others that emerge or are created. Further, recognising the need for different kinds of publications—from specialist to general consumption—is a key driving force of the Committee. In addition, the WAC Publications Committee seeks to connect authors—of whatever medium being used—with colleagues working in similar media and with publication outlets that ensure each kind of publication is of the highest quality; even providing a template for future work in that form of presentation.
Each work submitted to the Publications Committee is distributed to key people in that field located within WAC's extensive network for appropriate, non-exclusive peer comment. Additionally, the WAC Publications Committee sources a range of 'publishers' in traditional and new media who accord with WAC's aims of open access to knowledge via multi-language translations, low point-of-sale cost; provision of free copies, Creative Commons licensing, links to initiatives such as WAC's Global Libraries Project, and so forth. Surplus funds generated from WAC publications—from which no individual will derive royalties—are used to aid Indigenous participation at conferences; as seed money for worthy projects, subventions towards other publications and so forth.
As WAC's membership and goals change over time, the policies and workings of the WAC Publications Committee will be evaluated on a regular basis—such as at Congresses—welcoming input from all WAC members and interested outsiders. We welcome submissions or work and advice for the functioning of the Committee, hoping not to prove correct Oscar Wilde's observation that "committees are avenues into which good ideas are led and strangled"
Public Education
Chair: Don Hensen, UK.
Committee: Arwa Badran, Jordon; Marcia Bezerra, Brazil; Sarah Colley, Australia; Gunes Duru, Turkey; Paloma Gonzalez, Spain; Vladimir Ionesov, Russia; Steve Nichols, Australia; Katsuyuki Okamura, Japan; Renata Wolynec, USA.
WAC is an international forum for anyone who is concerned with the study of the past. The Public Education Committee promotes public interest in the past in all countries, especially disadvantaged nations, through appropriate training and education, teaching practices that accommodate non-traditional audiences and the development of interpretative practices that are sensitive to the values of different cultures. This committee recognises the need to make archaeological studies relevant to the wider community and encourages educators, interpreters, and archaeologists to involve the public in the preservation and protection of cultural heritage.
Chairs: Cressida FForde, U.K. and Joe Watkins, USA.
Committee: Franchesca Cubillo, Australia; Lawrence Foanaota, Solomon Islands; Jane Hubert, UK; Kathryn Last, UK; Robert Layton, UK; Paul Turnbull, Australia; Bob Weatherall, Australia.
WAC recognizes that human remains and objects of special cultural importance have different layers of meaning to many different groups of people. WAC's Repatriation Committee, working within frameworks established by the WAC Code of Ethics and the Vermillion Accord of 1989, as well as Statement 2 of the Indigenous Inter-Congress held at Waipapa Marae in November 2005 and adopted by the WAC Council at its meeting in Osaka, Japan in January 2006, facilitates the dialogue on repatriation issues.
Through sessions at WAC Congresses and Inter-Congresses, we work to provide avenues for discussion about this special issue. In addition, the Repatriation Committee, with the support of its international membership, provides varied perspectives and insights on the impact of local, national, and international debate and policy on repatriation issues.
WAC Student Committee (WACSC) websiteChair: Kate Ellenberger (USA) Co-Chair: Jacqueline Matthews (Australia)Student Representative in WAC Executive and Council: María Florencia Becerra (Argentina)Committee:Jimoh Ganiyu Adedeji (Nigeria)Aadil Brar (India)Paris Ferrand (Mexico)Alejandro Figueroa (Honduras)Marta Lorenzon (Italy) Maram Mafulul (Nigeria)Jordan Ralph (Australia)Courtney Singleton (USA) Heather Winters (Australia)Sepideh Saeedi-Arcangeli (Iran)The objective of the Students' Committee is to develop student representation and involvement in WAC. This means not only the expansion of student membership across the world, but also to incorporate more student voices into WAC discussions and activities. By orchestrating student participation, which is often regarded as secondary in importance to archaeological Congresses, in a timely manner, the Committee will promote innovative and thought-provoking discussions originating from WAC student members.

The year was 1972. I was 19 years old and found myself a conscript of the U.S. Army. American lives were still being lost in the rice paddies of Vietnam.
It was in October of that year that I was introduced to the military weapon, the M-16. The drill sergeant said that this weapon - never called a gun - was designed to efficiently kill lots of people in little time. He then demonstrated the weapon's fire power by leveling a pile of cinder blocks in seconds.
The M-16 could fire nearly 600 rounds per minute. He explained the entry wound in a human body from an M-16 is small, but the exit wound leaves a gaping hole. He said it was designed to do that. I guess as an American, I've always been exposed to the gun culture.
How could one not? Back in the 1950s and 1960s, on Saturday afternoons, the neighborhood kids of Zylonite in Adams would pile into a parent's car and head for the Adams Theater for cowboy and Indian movies, World War II movies and John Wayne. I saw Lee Oswald shot and killed on live national TV on a Sunday morning. Everybody - and I do mean everybody - hunted animals with shotguns and rifles.
In the Army, I was trained as a field medic, a 91B20. As a medic, my job was to plug holes made in American soldiers, not make them in the enemy. It was a good thing I was trained as a medic because I never got the hang of killing people.
Which brings me back to the military weapon - not the gun - the M-16. It has been around since 1958 when it was first developed by a gun manufacturer called Armalite. They called it the AR-15. That company was sold to Colt and Colt mass-produced the gun for the U.S. military and they called it the M-16.
The military M-16 and the civilian AR-15 are the same the gun minus the automatic capability.
Today, because of little federal restriction, many American gun manufacturers mass produce the AR-15, such Colt, Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer of Exeter, N.H., and Bushmaster.
One may recall that in October of 2002, the Washington, D.C., beltway, was terrorized for nearly two weeks by a sniper who claimed nine lives and injured three others in random shootings. The gun used was a Bushmaster AR-15. In 2004, the families of the victims successfully sued Bushmaster, who settled out of court to the tune of $2.5 million. In 2005, the U.S. Congress passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act that prohibited civil action against gun manufacturers whose product might be used to cause harm that is mass shootings.
In case you forgot:
Aurora, Colo., July 20, 2012: 70 wounded, 12 dead. Bushmaster AR-15, the M-16.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 11, 2012: 3 dead. Bushmaster AR-15, the M-16
And Sandy Hook. There are no words.
In 1975, I was discharged from the U.S. Army. Upon arrival home, I sold the two guns I had to kill animals in Zylonite.
I own no guns today. I choose not to live in fear. I disagree with the NRA position that the only response to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.
Culture change can happen. It has happened with attitudes toward drunk driving; unacceptable. It has happened with attitudes toward cigarette smoking; unacceptable.
And Sandy Hook: Charlotte Bacon, Daniel Barden, Rachel Davino, Olivia Engel, Josephine Gay, Ana M. Marquez-Greene, Dylan Hockley, Dawn Hochsprung, Madeline F. Hsu, Catherine V. Hubbard, Chase Kowalski, Jesse Lewis, James Mattioli, Grace McConnell, Anne Marie Murphy, Emilie Parker, Jack Pinto, Noah Pozner, Caroline Previdi, Jessica Rekos, Avielle Richman, Lauren Rousseau, Mary Sherlach, Victoria Soto, Benjamin Wheeler, Allison N. Wyatt. Unacceptable.

THE MAROON Loyola University New Orleans VOL. 82, NO. 23 FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2004 | MAROON.LOYNO.EDU Byron ends controversial presidency By Lan Bui Assistant news editor Interim administrator will return to Baltimore to write, continue professorship As the university prepares to receive the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J., as its new president, the Rev. William Byon, S.J., will soon step down from his eventful interim term as Loyola's top administrator. "It was an opportunity to serve the university when it was in a time of need, and I was happy to be able to do it," Byron said. Byron had officially stepped in to replace former president Bernard Knoth when allegations of sexual misconduct arose against the Jesuit priest, forcing him to promptly resign and leave New Orleans. Though he said he was troubled by the circumstances that required him to succeed Knoth. Byron expressed happiness and a willingness to take over the presidential position, as well as a familiarity with Loyola's campus. He'd been Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola from 1973 to 1975, and came into office in October already knowing several faculty members from his previous time as dean. However, his presidential term sparked campus-wide debate over several issues, including the institution of athletic scholarships and the cancellation of "The Vagina Monologues." So far administrators have named four scholar-athletes for the 2004-05 academic year, the first at Loyola in more than ten years. As for "The Vagina Monologues," Byron said that he has been consistent in his stance against a production of the play at Loyola BYRON Set to depart New Orleans LOYOLA' sign at Calhoun, Freret might be gone forever By Thomas Slack Staff writer So hot right now... Chronic vandalism forces University Police, Physical Plant to rethink concrete signs The concrete-letter "LOYOLA" sign at the corner of Calhoun and Freret Streets could be permanently removed, according to university officials. However, University Police and Physical Plant continue to discuss possible solutions to the chronic problem of vandals hitting similar signs all around campus. Repairs to the signs have cost the university more than $1,200 so far this year. According to police records, vandalism of the signs is not a new problem but is one that has become more frequent this year. According to Police Captain Roger Pinac, the vandals have broken and sometimes stolen the letters "The letters are usually damaged on party nights — Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights," Pinac said. "Sometimes they (the police) will catch the ones up on St. Charles, but recently it has been the one back on Freret and Calhoun streets." "We patrol the area, but we cannot guard the concrete letters," Pinac said when asked what the University Police are doing to prevent the vandalism from going on further. "There has been no permanent solution," said Assistant Director of the Physical Plant David Huffman. However, he said that the simplest solution to the vandalism might be the removal of the concrete letters. Huffman said that, although they may not replace the now-absent Freret Street sign, they have not decided whether they will remove all of the signs. Huffman confirmed that the sign at Freret has been under attack more lately. The letters have been missing since Mardi Gras.and some students think that they will not be returning.

Law school prepares for $5 million expansion By Adam Hennessey Staff writer New facility on Pine Street to be constructed on site of current Twomey Center The School of Law announced plans to build a four-story, 16,000-square-foot addition to the Broadway Campus where the Twomey Center for Peace Through Justice stands. The proposed structure will house faculty offices, seminar and student activities rooms and one large classroom. The same architect who designed the Monroe Library has been hired to design the new building. According to Brian Bromberger, dean of the School of Law. the entire project will cost about $5 million. Bromberger said that there was great pressure imposed on the law school to find more space. He explained that the American Bar Association insisted that Loyola find more room for the growing needs of the school. "We had to find more space without increasing the student body," Bromberger said. Vice President of Institutional Advancement Malcolm Woodall explained that the original plan for expansion involved moving the visual arts department off the "Because of over enrollment, a tiny capital account has turned into a large capital account." — BRIAN BROMBERGER, DEAN OF LOYOLA LAW SCHOOL, on the financial backing the law school found for its current expansion plans. Israelis give firsthand account of Mideast struggle By Naomi King Assistant news editor 'Israel at Heart' program seeks to reverse perceived media bias Three Israeli young adults believe media bias has either ignored or slanted the Israeli perspective in political and social issues facing the Middle East. Guy Schmidt, Ariel Hochstadt, and Dikla Ben Asher, of the Israel at Heart program shared their experiences in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on Tuesday, the Independence Day of Israel, to a group of Tulane students in the Hillel organization. The two men and one woman have been talking to groups around the world in synagogues, churches and primarily on college campuses. "It is to know Israelis and see Israeli faces," Hochstadt said about why they travel and speak about their personal experiences. "Living in Israel influences us." Despite recent bomb attacks on public buses, the three said that many citizens and especially younger adults continue to use public transportation. "I don't have a car," Schmidt said. Sometimes if a bus seems too full, Asher said she waits for a lesscrowded bus. She said it is important for her to be able to see everyone on the bus. Ariel Hochstadt, Guy Schmidt, Abe Hakim and Dikla Ben Asher share their experiences and opinions on the conflict in the Middle East during a session of "Israel at Heart" at P.J.'s on Willow Street.

The "sequester" is the product of the debt ceiling crisis manufactured by the Republican House in 2011.
When that agreement was announced, Speaker John Boehner told the press that he'd gotten "98 percent of what he wanted" from the deal.
The Republicans on the Congressional "super committee" tasked with hammering out a bugdet deal before the 2012 deadline voted against every fair and balanced proposal - including those recommended by the vaunted "Simpson Bowles" commission.
That commission, btw, never issued an official proposal, because its Republican members (like Paul Ryan) voted against every fair and balanced combination of tax hikes and spending cuts.
The 'Pubs were so certain that they could hamstring the government for another year and win back the White House in 2012, that they kicked the can down the road AGAIN, which led to the Fiscal Bluff last December... when they AGAIN postponed a decision on the debt ceiling to hang onto their political leverage for yet another crisis.
This country cannot afford to keep lurching from one political hostage crisis to another. The 2010 Republican majority in the House has proven itself unfit to govern - repeatedly. The voters won't stand for it.
If conservative voters don't send the TeaPuppets packing in 2014, the GOP will be consigned to permanent third-party irrelevance.
Will the voters please pay attention to the facts? Instead of Ryan, Cantor and the bought and paid for individual from Kentucky?

Friends of Education Membership
Become a Friend of Education today!
Become a Friend of Education and help us support Excellence in Education with your 'Friend of Education' membership donation.
Excellence in Education was founded over 25 years ago by community members in response to legislative changes impacting public school funding. Because our school district, TTUSD, was negatively impacted by these changes, local residents mobilized and created an education foundation to support our public schools. Thank goodness for their foresight!
Each year the Foundation provides much needed support to our public schools in the form of educational grants, monetary teacher awards and training. Last school year alone, Excellence in Education funded over $200,000 in classroom grants. Many classroom enhancements including supplemental math and reading tools, state of the art science equipment as well as pilot programs such as iLearn – where students are using iPods in the classroom to improve reading fluency - are funded by Excellence in Education. We are proud to report the Foundation has funded over $2.5 million in grants and resources to TTUSD since its inception.
The Foundation recently spearheaded Tahoe Truckee Reads, a community effort to improve grade level literacy in our region. As a result of this campaign, Tahoe-Truckee received the 2012 All-America City award from the National Civic League based on our ambitious plan to ensure that more children are reading at grade level by the end of third grade. We are ecstatic with this new designation and the partnership with the school district and other community organizations as we begin implementation and plan for the future.
Please join Excellence in Education today and support quality education in our community.

I walked out of my dorm room at GCC at aprox 2:50 to watch the severe thunderstorm. I couldn't believe as tracked the storm...a major funnel cloud. It appeared suddendly and lifted back up. Large mammatous clouds formed. It was extremly intense and wouldn't trade in for anything

Didn't see that on the west end of town, but caught those mammatous clouds. I only wish i had my camera...

Hey William What was really funny is that while most places loved this picture our local newspaper (DN) in batavia refused them saying this and the mammatous looked like plain rain cloud...LOL

Strange for a rain cloud to be a funnel cloud with blue sky in the corners.

No thats a rain cloud.

I'm making a cow zombie survival game. I have the game code sorted but when the game goes from game over to playing, the cows stay in the same position.
Whats the code to reset the scene?
You question is a little too vague, you should put in some code or give more references so that people can help you. But IMO you must have forgotten to remove the drawing reference for those in the draw() function, so even after you change the "scene" (whatever you mean by that) your cows are drawn again on top of it. That's the best I could do, hope I could help somehow. | |||||||||
From what I can tell from your code, you'll want to clear out the random blocks you created. Something like:
Additionally, I assume you're using Visual Studio, which has great support for code completion, Intellisense. It's a really easy way to see what methods are available to you for all your objects. | |||

Hello all.
I was wondering if anyone had a separate GTD setup for work vs personal. Due to security concerns at my company, getting access to corporate resources is a real PITA without a fully booted up laptop and an RSA token. So it's not easy for me to glance at my lists when I am at home. I have a corporate issued Blackberry, but it's locked down pretty tight, so I can't install anything on it, and I find the build in task list woefully inadequate.

The efficiency of the demo board isn't what I would expect. At 6V in it draws 1.5A and the LED current is only 0.5A. Everything seems to be working, output voltages, over-voltage etc. The waveform at TP1 is a square wave switching between 0 and about 17V. 800nsec at 17V, 1.4usec at 0V. I'm thinking the input current should be closer to 0.6A. What can be wrong?
You will need to measure efficiency without PWM dimming. You can then do a weighted average to calculate your operating efficiency. Without PWM dimming, you can expect to get the measured results published in the TPS61500 EVMs User's Guide. Refer to http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slva236/slva236.pdf for more information on efficiency measurements. If you are unable to replicate the EVM efficiency measurement, we will need your exact test conditions and a schematic of your exact test setup.
Michael: This is an eval board and the PWM dutycycle is 100 % which is selected with a jumper on the board. The currents were measured according to the recommended mode with a large capacitor on the input (Buck mode) and a current meter. The currents were also confirmed with a scope current probe to confirm that the meter readings were not bogus. Wondering if there can be something wrong with the chip, although all the features seem to function although I haven't tried any analog pwm yet.
You verified your response, so I'm assuming you figured it out. What was the problem?
Actually I didn't, I wasn't sure what the verify did... Now I know!!
No problem. We ask the original poster to verify a post when it clarifies their question or solves their problem. Can I ask you attach a file with your measured data so we can take a closer look at your measurements. Also, what efficiency were you expecting?
I didn't actually record the earlier readings as they were so far off. I just remeasured them again with the input voltage at 4.998V. I have a 46uF cap on the input. With a B&K 390 VOM I measure 2.10 A input. With JP2 open I measure 0.50A LED current. With JP2 installed I measure 199.0 mV across R8 which is current sense resistor. Everything seems to be working but the current is to high. I would have expected efficiencies in the 80% range implying the input current should be about 0.5-0.6A at least. Not 2A I will look a
Efficiency measurements require Vin, Iin, Vout, Iout measurements. Your Vout can vary significantly depending on the LED temperature, V-I characteristics, etc. Let me know your specific measurements and we'll be able to start working from there. Note that you need to use a current meter to measure Iout. If you use the current sense resistor to calculate Iout, you'll first need to calibrate your calculations to match the resistor's exact resistance value. That can vary +/- 1% due to initial tolerance from the manufacturer, plus additional amounts due to soldering, moisture, aging, heat, vibration, etc.
Michael: It finally dawned on me that we are talking about Power. I was focused on current which is obviously incorrect... DA. Thanks for you help and enlightenment.

Evil Dead: Alternate Cut by Dr. Sapirstein
Posted on 12-09-2013 12:26 PM Number of Views: 103
New True Fanedit
Dr. Sapirstein just released his new fanedit :
Evil Dead: Alternate Cut
A shorter, darker edit of the EVIL DEAD remake, deleting some dumb dialogues and one-liners, and re-inserting the infamously missing "We're Gonna Get You" scene.
Dr. Sapirstein:
"Although this new version of The Evil Dead was surprisingly decent, some very minor details seemed to come in the way of making it a truly great remake - most noticeably, the use of a few cringeworthy one-liners, as well as the absence of the infamous "We're gonna get you" scene that was previewed in the trailers, but was nowhere to be found in the final film. This light fan-edit re-inserts this missing scene and gets rid of some bad dialogue and weak CGI effects that cheapened this new EVIL DEAD experience."

On December 2, 2013 the director's cut of
The Dark Crystal
was posted on YouTube. For two years
fan Christopher Orgeron reassembled the original cut of the film, the version Jim Henson and Frank Oz intended to release. But, due to poor testing, it was heavily revised to appeal to a broader audience.
Because of the limited material he had to work with it's definitely rough, but it gives interesting insight into what could have (should have?) been. For film enthusiasts and
Dark Crystal
fans alike this is a must watch.
For more information on this cut there is an engaging interview with the editor at

Robots VS Kung Fu: The Matrix Grindhouse Edition By MatrixGrindhouse is Favorite Edit of the Month
Posted on 12-06-2013 04:44 PM Number of Views: 83
Favorite Edit of the Month
With his first fanedit
Robots VS Kung Fu: The Matrix Grindhouse Edition
, Matrixgrindhouse won the Favorite Edit Of the Month contest of October!
Congratulations, Matrixgrindhouse. And thanks to all the faneditors who made an edit that month and to all the people who voted for this contest.
This is a "grindhoused" version of The Matrix.
(many others sources are also used.)
"I sought out to completely alter the movie as we know it. The presentation is now that of a mid-1980s exploitation film. The famous green tint has been removed and replaced with thick grain and print damage. The plot, character motivations, personalities, and sequence of events have been changed to tell the story in a new manner. Wherever possible, characters are made to be worse people. Everything depicted is - wherever possible - changed to be cheaper (via extensive use of behind-the-scenes footage), sleazier, darker, or simply different from the original version. The soundtrack has been almost completely replaced in favor of new music, with the emphasis on 70's synth to better suit the style and supposed time period. Continuity errors have been created where none had existed. New subplots have been added. Dialogue has been altered. I have changed everything that I possibly can change, while keeping within the context of the purpose of this Project".

The West Wing: The 25th Amendment by RollWave
Posted on 12-02-2013 03:51 PM Number of Views: 183
RollWave presents his first fanedit:
The West Wing: The 25th Amendment
This TV-to-Movie Fanedit based on Aaron Sorkins award-winning series The West Wing showcases one of the shows most compelling arcs, President Bartlets decision to invoke the 25th Amendment and temporarily remove himself from office. In addition to Jed, Leo, CJ, Toby, Josh, Donna, Will and the great supporting cast, this movie also includes guest stars John Goodman, Taye Diggs and Matthew Perry in some of the funniest and most dramatic scenes of the entire series.
"The West Wing is a fantastic show, but with 42 minutes per episode, 22 episodes per season and 7 seasons of material, (re)watching the entire series requires a massive time investment. This movie was created to provide a standalone product that can be enjoyed in a single evening. Comprising scenes from 8 different episodes spanning the end of Season 3 to the start of Season 5, this fanedit is a feature-length movie, intended for West Wing veterans and newcomers alike."

Welcome to Bull in the Basement. This site is to share my passion in the value of working with your hands which is something I learned from my father. Being raised without the proverbial silver spoon in our mouths, we looked to our hands to build our dreams. Ultimately, I would spend 17 years of my life building a Lamborghini Countach from scratch and in all places, my basement. What has been a lifelong vision finally came to fruition in 2008 when we used a backhoe to dig a ramp next to my house, busted out a basement wall and breathed life into what I call my Bull in the Basement. To say the least, this journey has been a wild and challenging ride that has had a profound impact on my family, friends and life as a whole. It is an insane, yet an inspirational story that I wish to share with the world. I have a wonderful wife named Eileen, who has supported an obsessive husband with a car in our basement for 17 years. She has put up with unimaginable extremes, both financially as well as mentally and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart for her tenacity to believe in me. We sincerely thank you for your interest in our website and you can support us by spreading the word of this website and our message. Thank you very much-Ken& Eileen Imhoff |
I have been
giving this a lot of thought lately; maybe I wasn't supposed to sell the car.
If you have watched the video below, you can see my heart wasn't in it, but not
for the reason you might expect.
Last year I gave my life to Jesus Christ. So you might ask what does that
have anything to do with selling or not selling the car. Let me explain:
The car started out as a mission without GOD in my life. It was an
exercise of human self-centered, egotistical, selfishness that just about ended
my marriage and losing our home. The car at this point has been a constant
reminder of what I have done and I just wanted it out of my life. The car goes
up for sale. As my faith begins to grow, I realize GOD gave me the talent to do
what I do and there is nothing wrong with that; my only mistake was not using it to glorify Christ. How could I do
that? Answer: Go on a mission to tell my story how I was saved in Jesus Christ
and use the car as a visual symbol of my quest for worldly treasures. I think
the car is most fitting don't you? If you would like to know more of my next
adventure, stay tuned. I believe GOD has a lot more in store…….Ken E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Rock music is a genre of popular music that developed during the 1960s, especially in Britain and the United States. In its roots it was influenced by the rock and roll of the 1940s and 1950s, and also heavily by rhythm and blues and country music. Rock Music is also indebted to a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporates influences from jazz, classical and other musical sources.
Typically, rock is song-based music made with a 4 /4 beat using a verse-chorus, but the genre is extremely diverse and common musical characteristics are difficult to define.
In the late 1960s a number of distinct rock music sub-genres were created, including hybrids like blues-rock, folk rock, country rock, and jazz-rock fusion, many of which lead to the development of psychedelic rock of the counter-culture, which influenced the psychedelic scene. New genres that were offshoots from this scene were progressive rock, which extended the artistic elements, glam rock, which highlighted showmanship and visual style, and the diverse major sub-genre of heavy metal, which emphasized volume, power and speed.
In the second half of the 1970s, punk rock both intensified and reacted against some of these trends with a raw, energetic form of music to produce open political and social criticism. Punk was an influence into the 1980s on the subsequent development of other sub-genres, including New Wave, post punk and eventually the alternative rock movement.
From the 1990s alternative rock began to dominate rock music and to break into the mainstream in the form of grunge, Britpop, and indie rock. Further fusion sub-genres since emerged, including pop punk, rap rock and rap metal, as well as conscious attempts to revive once again rock history, including the garage rock / post-punk and synthpop revivals at the beginning of the new millennium.
Rock music has also embodied and served as a vehicle for cultural and social movements, leading to major sub-cultures such as the mods and rockers in the UK and the "hippie" counterculture that spread in the United States from San Francisco in the 1960s. Likewise, the 1970s punk culture spawned the visually distinctive goth and emo subcultures. In the tradition of the folk protest song, rock music was brought together with political activism as well as changes in social attitudes to race, sex and drug use, and is often seen as an expression of youth revolt against adult consumerism and conformity.
The sound of traditional rock is centered around the electric guitar, which emerged in its modern form in the 1950s once with the popularization of rock and roll . The sound of the guitar in rock music is typically supported by the electric bass guitar pioneered in jazz music at about the same time, and percussion produced from a drum kit that combines drums and cymbals. This trio of instruments has often been complemented by synthesizers and the inclusion of others, particularly keyboards such as piano, or the Hammond organ. A group of musicians that play rock music is a rock band or rock group, and typically consists of two to five members. Classically, a rock band takes the form of a quartet whose members play one or more roles, including vocalist, guitarist, bassist, drummer and occasionally that of keyboard player or another instrumentalist.

Potter ready for next chapter on the field
Taylor Potter couldn't have asked for a better senior campaign.
Undefeated in the regular season, a second round appearance in the state playoffs and the fact that in a few months, Potter's new mascot will be a Fighting Okra.
"We had a great run while it lasted, but now that it's over it seems unreal at first," Potter said.

Federal police are reportedly conducting a crackdown against suspected people smugglers with arrests expected across Australia.
Fairfax Media understands that Australian Federal Police officers are executing warrants on at least five people across the nation.
The Australian newspaper overnight published an exclusive story about the impending raids, with specific details - including nationalities - of the suspects.
They are two Afghan nationals, two Pakistanis and an Iranian, the newspaper claimed.
Three of the suspects were in immigration detention, while two other men were living in the community, it reported.
An AFP spokeswoman said officers had been conducting police activity in the community for the past four weeks.
"The Australian became aware of this activity and we had a responsible arrangement to ensure the operation was not compromised," she said.
The latest operation follows a page-one story in The Australian in August 2009 that outlined a series of confidential details about counter-terrorism raids due to take place in Melbourne on the morning the story was published.
Former chief commissioner Simon Overland criticised The Australian because its newspapers were available for sale at 1.30am on the day of the 2009 raids and threatened the safety of the officers involved.
A former Victorian police officer, Simon Justin Artz, was sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for 12 months, for leaking details about the counter-terrorism raid to The Australian journalist Cameron Stewart.
The police raids resulted in three men being convicted and sentenced for planning to attack Sydney's Holsworthy army base.
Stewart was a joint author of Thursday morning's article about the people-smuggling raids.
Stewart told Melbourne radio station 3AW on Thursday that the AFP was "happy" for The Australian to publish the latest article after they discussed the details that would be published.
"We squared the story off with the federal police before we published and they requested that we keep it out of the first edition of the paper and that we keep it offline until about seven o'clock this morning, which we did, so they were fine with us publishing the story,'' he said.
More details on the raids are expected to become known soon, with the AFP set to hold a press conference in Canberra at 9.30am.
In January, a 31-year-old man was charged with people-smuggling offences, bringing the total number of alleged people smuggling organisers charged by the AFP in Australia to 20 since 2008.
Aggravated people smuggling charges, involving a group of five or more, can carry a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment.

Fat Tuesday
James Selman, long-time friend and Rapha Continental rider told me some years back something to the effect of "You don't get out of the saddle until April." To him winter and early spring are for building, so you sit, climb and strengthen.
After being on the road away from the bike the whole month of January, strength is something that I am very much lacking right now. Actually anything resembling fitness currently escapes me. So when I hit the base of a small rise (presently posing as a major hill) on a quick lunch spin on a sunny Portland winter day I thought of James when I saw a rider standing and stomping up the climb.
Wearing a classic Lemond long-sleeve team jersey and riding a lovely metallic purple Lemond of the same era, fully fendered for winter riding in Portland, I liked this gentleman's style. Still it's February 2nd, too early to be pouncing uphill.
Rolling by him with a simple "how's it going", I was immediately amused and understanding of his response.
Me: "How you doing?"
Lemond rider: "Fat."
Not a "good", or "alright", nor silence—just "fat". I couldn't have said it better myself.
I know that I am in fact not fat by any standard of American scales, but with a full month layoff coming on the heels of two weeks of post-cyclocross season blues, I am fat. For a cyclist. For me anyway. I can blame my slow pace on my lovely winter training Ira Ryan bicycle all I want but I don't have to pinch too hard to know the problem doesn't lay with the bike, but rather the rider.
Good news is that I also know the solution.

I was feeling the last month & a half of barely riding today for sure, and spent too much time out of the saddle. Even had to stop and stretch before the St Johns Bridge. Totally sympathize with the Lemond rider.

There is this spot in Austin, TX where they make happiness come to life. For an extra $1 you can have any of their franks sliced, stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Seriously, why would anyone ever pass that up? You can also get criss-cut fries with cheese and brown gravy. I watch Chris Distefano from Chris King eat three baskets of those one night.

"trashy US nutrition"
"that's called a heart attack in a bun. one a year is enough."
NO! The belief that hotdogs dogs and bacon and cheese are are poor food choices, or fodder for a heart attack is old school, like thinking a leather "hairnet" offers anything more than anti-scalping protection.
It's the refined starch of the bun - a carbohydrate - that's dangerous to health. i'd stake my life on it. In fact, I have. No buns for me, but bring on the 'dogs!. ;-)

Slate, the "You can also get criss-cut fries with cheese and brown gravy." is called a "poutine". It is a typical Quebec's trashy meal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine).
Better eaten after riding…

And here I thought "Poutines" were Russian. I'd like to recommend a plate full of home cut fries, smothered in guvmint cheese and chile verde. That's sagebrush soul food and one of the reasons I'm allers achasing scrawnley little fellers up the hills hereabouts, wintertime, summertime, no matter.

[Gold Prize Winner] Dokdo: reminder of Japans imperialistic pastDokdo comprises two main islets: Dongdo (East islet), and Seodo (West islet) and numerous surrounding rocks. Dokdo is located about 215 kilometers off the eastern border of Korea and 90 kilometers east of South Korea's Ulleung Island. The name of the island has changed over time, a testament to the historical confusion over the subject, which led to today's dispute between Korea and Japan. The Island was first recorded as part of Korea in a document generated during the Silla Dynasty in 512. An official publication called the "History of the Three Kingdoms", written in 1145, refers to the conquest of Usanguk, an area that included Dokdo. The historical fact that Dokdo belongs to Korea was confirmed over the centuries by numerous other documents published in Korea and abroad, and even in Japan. For example, in 1870, Japanese officials dispatched to Korea submitted a report to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the reasons why Ulleungdo and Dokdo belonged to Korea. In 1900, Korea issued Imperial Decree No. 41, which was published on October 27 and distributed to the international community, including Imperial Japan and placed Dokdo under the jurisdiction of the Ulleung County office. When analyzing the Dokdo dispute we must take into consideration the historical context surrounding Japan's involvement in Korea during the early 20th century. By studying the important events of this time, it's possible to understand how Japan annexed Dokdo. Historical records show that Japanese officials carefully studied whether it would be appropriate to include Ulleung Island and Dokdo as their territory upon an inquiry from Shimane Prefecture, but concluded that they are not part of Japan. Japans actions radically changed though, as the Russo-Japanese War intensified. On February 23, 1904, immediately after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War and about a year before the Japanese incorporated Dokdo, Japan forced the signing of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1904, thereby laying the foundation to establish military bases on Korean land and dispatch troops throughout the country. Therefore, even before the formal establishment of a protectorate in Korea, the Japanese were making inroads on Korean sovereignty. On September 29, 1904, the Japanese citizen Nakai Yozaburo submitted a "Request for Territorial Incorporation of Liancourt Island (Dokdo) and Its Lease," but the Ministry of Home Affairs rejected it at first. After the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan recognized the strategic value of Ulleungdo and Dokdo, the waters where the Russian Vladivostok Fleet had collided with the Japanese fleet. Thus, as the Russo-Japanese War escalated, the forced incorporation of Dokdo was quickly carried out on January 28, 1905. Japan named the island Takeshima and placed it under Shimane Prefecture, in essence approving the petition it had previously rejected. The Japanese Cabinet declared it reached a decision to incorporate Dokdo, on grounds that it had been terra nullius under international law, stating: "There is no evidence to recognize that this uninhabited island was ever occupied by a foreign country." However, Japan's claim to terra nullius conflicts with its previous recognition of the islets as Korean territory. Additionally, international law requires that when a nation obtains new territory it must be done in an open and public manner. Obviously, this is necessary to avoid conflicts when several states wish to incorporate the same unclaimed territory. The question is did Japan declare its decision with a sufficient degree of publicity in 1905? The Japanese government did not announce the Cabinet decision in the official gazette or made a public announcement at the central government level. The decision was only reported in a local newspaper, the San-in Shimbun, on February 24, 1905. It's not clear how many people actually read the article, but it's very unlikely this was seen by many Japanese people, and was certainly not read by citizens of Korea and other concerned nations. There was no way the Korean government could have come to notice this incorporation announcement. Because of that, Koreans were not aware of Japan's annexation of Dokdo until the Magistrate of Ulleungdo Sim Heung-taek was told in person in 1906. However, why did Japan seize Dokdo so quietly? There are two main reasons which involve Japan's military and political activity in Korea during the Russo-Japanese War. From a strategic standpoint, it would be an unwise move to publicly announce the incorporation of Dokdo and then station military personnel there. Japan was at war with Russia at this time and the East Sea was a major battleground. Therefore, Japan would lose the advantage of surveillance by an open declaration of Dokdo's incorporation. From a political standpoint, Japan was worried not to show a too forceful approach in Korea. The aftermath of the Sino-Japanese War affected how Japan handled the annexation of Dokdo and Korea. After the war, Russia, France and Germany worked together in the Triple Intervention to prevent Japanese territorial encroachment in Manchuria. This incident made Japan very careful not to use tactics in Korea that might appear overly aggressive as it might cause other powers to intervene in Korea as well. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan forced the signing of the Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905, which gave Japan complete responsibility for Korea's foreign affairs. Thus, by the time the Koreans became aware of the incorporation of Dokdo, the ability for them to file a formal protest at a state-to-state level was already lost. In conclusion, Japan's illegal incorporation of Dokdo was not a singular, isolated act of aggression but rather a link in a chain of events leading to the aggressive annexation of the entire Korean peninsula. Today the Republic of Korea administers Dokdo, nevertheless the Japanese Government still claims sovereignty over the island. After the Tōhoku earthquake and the following devastating tsunami, the Koreans showed great sympathy for the neighboring nation. South Koreans raised a record sum in public donations for victims of the earthquake and tsunami. This seems to me like a sign from the Koreans for a new and peaceful relationship between those two countries. Now it's time for the Japanese and the Japanese Government to take a stand against their brutal imperialistic past and accept that Dokdo belongs to Korea.
