Eight Big Differences Between The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Book And Movie
By Jessica Rawden 2013-11-22 15:12:11 comments
The resistance is kept more under wraps. While Katniss sees snippets of rebellion on the train, as well as Gales beating, she never runs into District 8 refugees Bonnie and Twill and she doesnt have to deal with Gales friend Darius getting turned into a tongue-less Avox after defying the District 12 peacekeepers. These details keep her from learning as much about the resistance as she knows in the books. While she senses a revolution brewing, she is also more sheltered from it.
Haymitchs backstory is never made clear. In the books, we know that Haymitch actually won the previous Quarter Quell, and Peeta and Katniss make it a point to watch and see how their mentor was able to overcome obstacles and win the heightened version of the Hunger Games only after his District 12 partnera character who plays a similar role to Rueis tragically killed by an obstacle in the arena. This helps to flesh out Haymitch beyond the amusing and clever but drunken mentor he plays through the first two films.

Post subject: soup recipies
anyone got some nice ones? I know there are 100s on line but I need some tried and tested.
I have a lovely one for mushroom soup but did the dog on it and now I cant eat it
I used to make a veg soup when my lo was small, carrots, onion, potato, parsnip and veg stock and very bored of that now. I did have one out the other night and there wasnt a carrot insight, think it was potato and onion and other things and that was lovely.

Mine which is foolproof is a winner with my family and siooooo healthy-it's sweet potato and leek:
Roughly chop 2/3 leeks and peel and chop 2 sweet potatoes. Fry leeks off in a bit of oil-i use light olive oil , just till softened a few mins.
Put a filled kettle on to boil
Add the chopped sweet potato and pinch if salt and lots of pepper if u like, add hot water to just cover then a chicken or veg stock cube for more flavour put lid on and turn heat to low.
Cook for about 30 mins or till pots are breaking up and v v soft.
Add herbs if u like-pinch of cumin is fab or maybe done thyme.
Blend in batches but I just keep in saucepan and use the hand blender which takes a min and less fuss and washing up. If too thick add touch water and/or seasoning-like it peppery!
If u want to be a bit indulgent add bit if butter or creamand stir well it makes it more special and that's what I do when I have dinner parties-it goes down so well.
I plan to make this (purée) for my lo when he's born and onto solids lol

A group of Belgrade Art Club students need your help to take the national stage in New York. Their unique styles have kicked them into the semi-finals of the Vans Shoes Custom Culture Challenge.
Belgrade High art club student Dejianna Wilkinson proudly displays her and fellow members' uniquely designed shoes, designs they hope to see in stores one day.
"It's a really cool idea to me that we could potentially, actually have these shoes going around. You could go to the mall and see four different people wearing the shoes that you designed, you created," says Wilkinson.
"People will get to see our art, even though we're just little high schoolers from Belgrade, Montana," agrees art club member Adara Dugan.
It's not out of the realm of possibility if they win the Vans Custom Culture Challenge.
"How cool is that there are these completely blank shoes that they're going to send you and you have the freedom to create whatever you want?!" exclaims Wilkinson.
Their art teacher Frank Jacques threw out the idea.
"At first, it was, 'sure, let's do this because it's fun,' and then it turned into something absolutely awesome," explains Dugan.
The team of eight put in close to fifty hours coming up with ideas and drawing designs. It paid off. They're one of 50 teams out of 1,500 to make it to the finals, but it wasn't easy.
"We didn't have pens, so we had to wait until we got them from Bozeman at the bookstore. It was like one thing after another," says art club member Shayne Goulet.
They even had to start from scratch on a pair of shoes, just three days before deadline.
"We sent the pictures in the last possible day," says Goulet.
Students designed shoes in four different categories -- art, music, board sports and local flavor.
"I was at the fly shop and I saw a red fox tail and I thought, how cool would that be to have a red fox shoe?" explains art club member Raechel Haverstick.
But for folks like Haverstick and her classmates, it's not just about seeing their designs make it big. Vans also awards $50,000 to the winning team's art program.
"Art gets overlooked a lot in schools and I think it's really important. It was a major outlet for me on an individual level and I think that other kids should have the opportunity to find themselves through art, as well," says Wilkinson.
Haverstick calls art club her baby and says it's the one real place where she can enjoy art at school.
"It's not just us benefiting from it, it's generations of people like us and just the art program in general because there are a lot of things that we're not doing because we don't have the funds," explains Haverstick.
Currently, the Belgrade Art Team is sixth out of ten schools in the northwest region and need your vote to make it to New York.

However, that is what I'd wear to my milkshake opening – in Kuwait.
Reality TV Star Kim Kardashian caused a fan frenzy yesterday (November 29, 2012) in Kuwait during the opening of Millions of Milkshakes at The Avenues Mall Kuwait City, Kuwait.
Kim wore a bizarre dress to the store's opening. The cream colored outfit featured a cut out section by her neck and space-age like cuffs on her wrists. She wore a gold belt around her waist, which matched her gold-tipped heels.
Prior to her trip to the Middle East, the reality stars said: "I'm so excited to visit Kuwait, I've heard so much about the people and especially about the incredible fashion scene."
Shadi Al Ghanim, CEO of Al Recardo Trading which brought the famous milkshake bar to the country, said of her visit: "We're extremely excited to welcome Kim to Kuwait. She has a huge fan base here and we've had such an outpour of support and excitement surrounding her visit."
So glad to hear that Kim has worldwide support.

Name of Monument:
Dominican Church of St. Michael, BrnoLocation:
Brno, Moravia, Czech RepublicDate:
1658–1679; 1728; 1745; 1760Denomination / Type of monument:
Religious – ChurchArtists:
Jan Křtitel Erna (1625? Brno – 1698 Brno), Anton Riga (cca 1660 Kaliningrad – 1728 Brno), Josef Winterhalder Sr. (1702 Vöhrenbach – 1769 Vienna), Damascenus Schwarz, Dominik Kirchner, Johan Franz Greipel (1720–1798), Josef Tadeáš Rotter (1701 Opava – 1763 Brno), Johann Lukas Kracker (1717 Vienna –1779 Eger), Josef Stern (1716 Graz – 1775 Brno), František Vavřinec Korompay (1723 Rohatec u Strážnice – 1779 Brno), Josef Winterhalder Jr. (1743 Vöhrenbach – 1807 Znojmo), Karl Aigen, Jan Adam Nesmann (1710 Mainz – 1773 Brno), Ondřej Schweigl (1735–1812, Brno), Ondřej Zahner (1709 Ettershausen – 1752 Olomouc)Patron(s):
Lev of Kounice, Dominican orderHistory:
The church was frequented by Moravian estate holders who held their sessions in the adjacent monastery. The complete refurbishment of the original medieval church was financed by the legacy of the provincial judge, Lev of Kounice, who had established the Kounic family tomb there. City development incorporated the new church into what was the fish market, so its disposition was reversed and the building was entered from the east. Setting the church into a mild slope proved a problem shortly after its completion by J. K. Erna. Old views of the square, which also featured the margrave's house and a mint, show the monumental effect of the church amidst the surrounding buildings.Description:
The two-spire frontage which is segmented with pilasters and lesenes culminates in a triangular gable on top of which is the patron saint of the church. In 1728, in order to break up the flat façade, statues by A. Riga were set in niches. The mock-Gothic Chapel of the Holy Grave was added in 1701. The single-nave church adjoining the monastery buildings is flanked by side chapels furnished by blocks of richly carved pews decorated with acanthus leafs.
View Short DescriptionHow Monument was dated:
The laying of the church foundation stone and its consecration are recorded in the archives. The dating of artworks by individual artists may be derived from their biographies and by chronologies of their work.
Special features
St. Vincent Ferrer
Jan Adam Nesmann (1710 Mainz – 1773 Brno)
Reinforcement work included construction of a terrace, lined with statues by J. Winterhalder Sr. and O. Zahner. The sculptor, J. A. Nessmann, came to Brno from Mainz and worked initially in the workshop of J. J. Schauberger. His statues in wood and stone are typified by soft modelling and compact outlines, giving them an air of urgency. The terrace once housed shops.
Dominican Church of St. Michael, Brno
Jan Křtitel Erna (1625? Brno – 1698 Brno)
A cylindrical vault with intersecting segments is decorated austerely with stucco rods with "mirror" frames. The vault pedestal is marked by a ledge frieze supported by pilasters; this approach was typical of the second half of the 17th century.
c. 1745
Josef Winterhalder Sr. (1702 Vöhrenbach – 1769 Vienna)
The pulpit architecture is completely obscured by sculpted decoration. Roofing is absent, replaced by a group of dynamically rendered figures headed by Archangel Gabriel, fighter against the Antichrist and with Divine Providence in the background. The platform is lined with statues of the saints Vincent Ferrer and Thomas Aquinas, while a relief depicts the founder of the Dominican order. Reliefs on the ambo represent New Testament scenes from Christ Tempted by the Devil. The expressively executed coloured pedestal is made up of a host of fallen angels in desperate postures. Winterhalder was inspired by a similar base by B. Permoser in Dresden, with which he had became acquainted in the 1730s. The illusionary architecture of the high altar was executed by the Dominican brothers.
St. John of Nepomuk Worshipping the Virgin Mary
Dominican Church of St. Michael, Brno
c. 1760
Josef Stern (1716 Graz – 1775 Brno)
The church altars were decorated by the leading Brno artists, J. V. Korompay, J. T. Rotter, I. Raab, O. Schweigl and J. Stern. The diagonal composition is characteristic of 17th-century Roman Adoration paintings (P. Cortona, G. B. Gaulli). The sketch for the side altarpiece is held in the Moravian Gallery in Brno.
St. Thomas Aquinas
Dominican Church of St. Michael, Brno
Johann Lucas Kracker (1717 Vienna – 1779 Jager)
A shallow, theatrical scene depicts the Dominican theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas (d.1274) at prayer, in the course of which Christ appeared before him. J. L. Kracker was active in the Brno workshop of J. T. Rotter, having studied in Vienna. He made several drawings of the interior decoration of the church which are now preserved in Hungarian art collections. In 1749 he moved to Znojmo and through the Premonstratensians in Louka Monastery entered service with the Bishop of Jager.

OK, so here's the test video I promised from my new Kodak Playsport camera. I recorded it in WVGA 848X480, 30 fps, EIS on. Even with EIS on, it is shakier than my Casio point-and-shoot digital camera. Sound and picture quality are fine. I also like how wind noise was not excessive on descents
I used a Rayovac 800 mah battery from Batteries Plus for the first hour, then when the battery icon was showing only about 1/16" I put a fresh Kodak 1000 mah battery in.

College Hockey:Commissioners' Cup Series Unveiled
College hockey's unmatched cooperation between its six Division I conferences has taken another form.
Commissioners from the nation's six conferences have announced the creation of a 21-game series to be played among the conferences throughout the 2004-2005 season. The first annual Commissioners' Cup Series faces off with five games on Saturday, Oct. 23 and concludes in late January. Each conference participates in seven designated contests, each league playing three home games, three away, and one at a neutral site.
No games have been added to anyone's existing schedule. The Commissioners' Cup series was created out of games already scheduled.
Commissioners' Cup standings will be maintained with two points awarded for each victory and a point for a tie. The conference which amasses the most points through its seven games will be presented with the Commissioners' Cup at its conference championship weekend.
"This is an opportunity to create a little added excitement to regular season games for the fans," said Hockey East commissioner Joe Bertagna. "We have tried to choose games that collectively give every league a fair shot at this particular title. And I think we have accomplished that."
Only three schools appear on the schedule more than once as 39 of the nation's 59 Division I ice hockey institutions will participate in the series.
"It was important to us that we spread participation beyond perennial national powers," said Bertagna. "We have done that while also including some of our nationally-ranked programs as well."
Three of the games will be broadcast live on College Sports Television (CSTV). Those contests are: Friday, Oct. 29: North Dakota at Boston College (8 p.m.) Monday, Jan. 3: Minnesota at Boston University (7 p.m.) Friday, Jan. 21: Wisconsin at Notre Dame (8 p.m.)

First times can be thrilling and terrifying all at once. Your first time home alone, your first time driving alone, your first day of college or a new job, your first kiss, your first time … you get the point.
Your first time buying a home is definitely no exception. You'll finally have your own place with your own rules. You don't have to be quiet for the people upstairs or downstairs (or be kept up by their noise), you can decorate and landscape exactly how you want, you have more space and more privacy, you (hopefully) now have a garage and, best of all, you can run around in your own backyard in your underwear… well, maybe.
Anyways, at Quicken Loans, we know how exciting and scary buying your first home can be, so we organized a First-Time Home Buyer Q&A Google Hangout to answer a lot of questions you might have as you go through the process.
This is one of the many great tools Quicken Loans offers to make your home purchase even easier. Another one is our Mortgage First program. Instead of the traditional preapproval, Mortgage First completely underwrites your loan, pending property qualification. Having your loan ready to go when you're house hunting gives you a great edge in the competitive real estate market.
Watch the video now!
What Is an FHA Mortgage?
In this Q&A segment, someone asks about the advantages of an FHA mortgage. If you're not familiar with an FHA mortgage, it's a mortgage that's insured by the Federal Housing Administration and has less strict qualification guidelines for the homeowner.
What Are the Benefits of an FHA Mortgage?
Julie Shaffer, director of the FHA Philadelphia Homeownership Center, explains that one of the biggest benefits is the down payment required: only 3.5% of the loan's value. And, you can use money gifted to you from a friend, family member or employer, or a grant to make the down payment.
The FHA, Shaffer says, also allows non-occupying co-borrowers on the loan, so your parents or someone else can cosign your mortgage to help you get started.
Mike Berris, a Quicken Loans director of relocation mortgage banking, says another reason an FHA mortgage is so flexible is because it has relaxed credit requirements so it's easier to get a loan with a somewhat lower credit score than usual.
Keep in mind, of course, that individual lenders often have their own guidelines in addition to the FHA's regulations, so you'll want to check to see exactly how your lender provides FHA mortgages.
Now that you've got a better understanding of FHA mortgages, we hope your first-time home buying experience will be all excitement and no stress.
If you still have some questions about FHA loans, Mortgage First, or anything else relating to your home, let us know in the comments!
If so, subscribe now for tips on home, money, and life delivered straight to your inbox.

When the "Coloreds Only" sign disappeared from a water fountain at the train station in Tony Kushner's hometown of Lake Charles, La., one day in the early 1960s, it was a sign of the dawning civil rights movement, which had emerged elsewhere in the South but only subtly in Lake Charles.
In Kushner's liberal Jewish home, relatives spoke excitedly of the changes while an African American maid, Maudie, washed and ironed all day in the hot basement. In her starched white uniform, she toiled as black domestics had done for generations of white families in Lake Charles.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Kushner drew on those memories to create his potent but unsentimental new musical, "Caroline, or Change," now at the Ahmanson Theatre. With book and lyrics by Kushner and music by Jeanine Tesori, the piece recounts a time when "nothing much ever seemed to happen, yet something unforeseen was out there in the distance, having to do with race," Kushner said.
The semi-autobiographical story revolves around Jewish 9-year-old Noah and his dour family maid, Caroline (Tonya Pinkins), who labors in the basement as the world outside transforms.
The change in the title not only refers to the civil rights movement but to the change Noah carelessly leaves in his pockets, which his stepmother urges Caroline to keep to teach the boy a lesson. It is this pocket change (actually $20 in Chanukah gelt) that inevitably fractures the relationship between Noah and Caroline, mirroring the era's economic and political concerns.
The crisis also serves as a parable of black Jewish relations: "The civil rights movement, a coalition of blacks and Jews, produced immensely significant, progressive changes in American society," Kushner, 48, said from his Manhattan home. "But I feel both blacks and Jews are responsible for the [acrimonious] way in which our two groups parted. That's why the play has no villains, just characters trying to get by and to be just," he added. "The piece addresses the immense possibility for misunderstanding on both sides; the powerful societal forces of race and money; and how even good intentions can sometimes lead to unfortunate consequences -- as the play says, 'consequences unforeseen.'"
Kushner's work has long focused on powerful societal forces, and consequences unforeseen. His epic plays explore the anxiety of turbulent change: the AIDS epidemic in "Angels in America," for example, or the threat of terrorism in "Homebody/Kabul."
If "Caroline" spotlights race relations, it's been called the "brooding person's 'Hairspray'" -- alluding to the perky Broadway musical about integration in which blacks and whites only have to dance together to fix societal ills. Kushner's piece is a grittier look at the era and, generally, how personal and political change intersect.
"Sometimes people with terrible personal problems can truly be saved by a powerful social movement and, sometimes, movements can't quite do that, as in the case of Caroline," he said. "External forces such as racism and poverty pull too hard in the opposite direction, as do internal pressures such as depression."
It's the kind of conflict Kushner believes he saw in Maudie, to whom the musical is dedicated, and whose implacable temperament fascinated him as a boy. Other African American housekeepers put on happy faces, which Kushner suspected masked less favorable feelings, but not Maudie.
"She was much tougher and less friendly than the other maids," he said.
Like the fictional Noah, young Tony regularly left coins in his pockets, which the housekeeper found in the laundry; the habit appalled his mother, who had grown up on welfare, and eventually inspired "Caroline."
Also like Noah, the playwright ultimately lost his mother to cancer; as she shuttled back and forth to New York for treatment, it was Maudie who cared for the three Kushner children and drove them to school. Even so, the author recalled, "She was not interested in becoming our surrogate mommy. She would not have felt that was appropriate."
The musical, accordingly, dismisses the myth of the always-nurturing domestic: "It's like, 'Hey, this woman is raising this white boy and she's not happy about it," said Pinkins, who received a Tony nomination for "Caroline." "She's not in love with her white family. It's one of those truths people are in denial about, but which [Kushner] confronts head on."
The author, for his part, views the story as cautiously hopeful: "It's about the world changing, not in a snap but slowly," he said.
For tickets to "Caroline," which runs through Dec. 26, call (213) 628-2772 or visit www.taperahmanson.com.

What is HIPAA? | Policies and Procedures | Physical Security | Audits
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, has two relevant goals for protecting health information:
This act consists of two major areas for protected health information (PHI):
Privacy Rule is a set of national standards that:
Security Rule is a set of standards particular to individuals who design and host information that is maintained or transmitted electronically. This rule demands that all HIPAA entities provide a security plan for the following security areas:
Every practice using an EHR needs to draw up a set of internal "policies and procedures" regulating EHR use. PCIP has developed some guidelines to help our practices craft regulations relevant to privacy and security.
PCIP has developed guidelines that can serve as a template to help your practice create its own policies and procedures. Many of these questions are also legal concerns, and should be brought to the attention of your attorney.
When creating your own policy, you need to consider both who is on your staff (e.g. physicians, nurses, medical assistants, front office staff, billing staff) and what information each staff member requires to do his or her job (e.g. patient clinical information, patient financial information, practice or "business" information, practice financial information).
The key to crafting a good set of policies is to determine who should get access to what. Under HIPAA, the guiding standard for information access is "minimum necessary," meaning that staff members who do not need access to protected health information should not be able to access it.
In addition to staff and software security, it is important to think about your equipment:
Where do you place your technology in your office?Who has access to those places?Can these places be better secured?Can the equipment be moved?How is equipment tracked or accounted for?
NYC REACH members will get access to guidelines that can help you evaluate the above and create your own policies to safeguard your practice.
We also strongly recommend you talk to a qualified IT consultant to evaluate your physical and network security.
Another key mechanism for bolstering the security of your EHR is the audit function, which allows you to examine user logs to figure out which users have been accessing which information. It is recommended that practices conduct regular audits to ensure that information isn't being viewed by the wrong people.
For detailed instructions on how to audit your EHR, become a NYC REACH member for access to documents and guides on privacy and security on our NYC REACH Resource Library.

It's pretty safe to say that Paramore are the biggest rock stars in Franklin, Tennessee, which is why it's rather strange that they can wander its picturesque streets (or ride around them on bikes) without receiving as much as a wayward glance from anyone.
It's as much a testament to their humble demeanors and overall lack of flash (frontwoman Hayley Williams' preferred method of transport? A Huffy bike she bought at a thrift store) as it is to Franklin itself. The town is a hamlet of Nashville, and, as such, is populated by a bizarre number of country artists (including Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban), NASCAR drivers, and, uh, Cyruses (Miley and otherwise). So, really, Paramore aren't really that big of a deal around these parts.
Not to mention they're locals, born and raised (for the most part) in and around Franklin. People know them here, have seen Williams ride around on her bike for years, and can remember the Farro brothers when they were just two tiny terrors. All of this only adds to their anonymity. Paramore are just a group of Franklin kids that made good.
So, anyway, that's why, when myself and producer Akshay Bhansali spent yesterday with the band in Franklin, we were amazed by just how un-bothered Paramore were … how free they were to roam, to ride bikes up to the local Goodwill (see evidence below), to eat BBQ and cupcakes. And how willing they were to open their homes to us.
Over the coming days, we'll be rolling out footage from our trip — trust us, there's some amazing stuff ahead — all leading up to September 29, the day Paramore's Brand New Eyes album hits stores. Consider this blog (and the photos) an appetizer for the main course.
And, in keeping with the food metaphor, it appears Paramore are about to take us to another mom-and-pop restaurant … so we'll have more later. Seriously, these guys (and gal) know a thing or three about Southern hospitality — and eating, which are apparently inextricably linked here.

Sounds like fun. I'd be happy to help you out with this if nobody else does, Cory.
I have a challenge for you cartographers out there. I have uploaded a map to this thread with the hopes that a skilled cartographer was searching for something to test his skills. If you feel you are not up to it then feel free to keep on searching through this site. The image above is a map for a L.A.R.P. Group that is in desperate need of re-doing. It is old and ugly to look at, and I would try to fix it myself but I am simply too busy. What I would like is for someone to re-do it without taking out any of the names of the places or the vague layout of the geography, as it is representative to real life. You can, however, add in as much new things as you want and change the coast-lines as much as you will. You may name oceans add cities, add new continents, show better continental drift, compress some areas and expand others, but you must keep all locations on the map, even if you must move them a little. I would also like you to put the following message somewhere in the map so that the hundreds of people in the larp group you'll be helping out can know who to credit.
-[your name] - Cartographer's Guild
This is so that people can find you and pay you to do nice maps and things for them. Anyway, I would like you to be as creative as possible without deleting too much content, and have fun with this!
Again, Thank you for all of your help that you've given!
Spare Pictures - Greenheart
Sounds like fun. I'd be happy to help you out with this if nobody else does, Cory.
I would appreciate any help you could give me in this!
Cool. It will be about 2 or three weeks before I can do it. hang in there and feel free to nudge me by bumping this post if you don't hear from me.
That's fantastic, I'll accept any help offered, and if you have any other people you know who are on the guild and are wanting to design something but cannot decide what, point them this way!
I was wondering if you've made any progress yet? You asked me to give you a nudge in a few weeks.
I haven't even started! Thanks for the nudge. Things are busy at home and work at the moment. Did you have any particular style in mind? Something which looks fantasyish and hand drawn with lots of character, maybe?
Oh yes, that all sounds great! If you need any inspiration here are some maps that fit the feel I'm looking for- This kind of map should be the sort that a wealthy noble should own, or a high ranking general, as apposed to a map that would be readily available to medieval citizens.
I know these are very different examples I've displayed, but they all seem to have a good feel about them for the purposes they are serving. Thank you again for your help!
Gotcha, you want a map that looks like it's been drawn by Torstan or DJspek! (Don't worry, everybody does! lol!)
I'll try and get you something in that ball-park.
I'm immensely excited for this!!!

Alexandre Aja
Too Hot for Comic-Con, Too Silly for Words: 'Piranha 3-D'
Conceived 32 years ago as producer Roger Corman's tongue-in-cheek spin on the Jaws formula, Piranha returns with a new 3-D gimmick courtesy of director Alexandre Aja, who resurrected Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes in 2006 with passably nasty results.
Aja's latest requires little explanation. It's spring break under siege, as busty coeds lose their tops and then their limbs in graphic enough detail that Piranha, deemed too raunchy for Comic-Con, earns its R rating the old-fashioned way. It helps that besides the engaging Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott (TV's Party Down) and Richard Dreyfuss, who starred in Jaws, several members of the supporting cast are porn stars.
Home Movies: Through the Glass, Darkly
While director Alexandre Aja and longtime screenwriting collaborator Grégory Levasseur have proven themselves artful purveyors of fright, they too often squander their talents on stories that collapse beneath the weight of misplaced ambition.
Consider their singularly frustrating breakthrough, 2003's High Tension. It's a nasty slice of psychotic mayhem, straightforward and unsettling until, in its waning moments, Aja and Levasseur play fast and loose with the film's internal logic. Their follow-up, a remake of Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes, was little more than a technical exercise, but a mostly effective one, demonstrating that the French duo is quite capable of spinning nightmarish visions into tightly constructed yarns.

A spokesman for the Office for Migrants and Refugees, Christoph Sander, said a decision was made to expedite Khalaf's transfer to Germany on humanitarian grounds.
The move followed an article about Khalaf, a member of Syria's Kurdish minority, in Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung earlier this month. The report caught the attention of a lawmaker who urged German President Joachim Gauck to intervene on her behalf and expedite the bureaucratic process, dpa reported.

Stardock CEO Brad Wardell says that the company's strategy RPG Elemental: War of Magic will end up costing the company money in the long run. This will happen, the company says, despite the fact that the game managed to break even on pre-orders.
"Elemental made its money back on day one and has continued to be profitable to this point," Wardell told Gamasutra in an email. "However, based on our projections we anticipate by the end of second quarter 2011 that Elemental will end up losing money overall as our objective is to spend what is necessary to ensure that the game meets the expectations of our customers."
Wardell did not disclose how many units the game has sold to date or how much money the company made off initial sales. While the company will lose money on the game, Wardell sees it as an investment in its PC customer base, who were very dissatisfied with the launch of Elemental.
One of the reasons that Elemental will lose money is several high profile hires to help drive the future development of the game in the right direction. Earlier this month Stardock hired former Civilization V lead designer Jon Shafer to take the reins of the game's development. Shafer will oversee the development of two expansions for the game. After that, he will begin designing his own game for Stardock.

It's more or less set where the guy I bought it from had it. I'll end up dropping it back once I get more comfortable on it, likely. The cushion compresses quite a bit so it doesn't feel like I'm sliding out.

Pics of my newly acquired KMX Tornado recumbent trike I use for everyday commuting & weekend cruising in and around Toronto:
For those 'purists' that might pull their nose up at my choice, let me say this, I am 50 years old, weigh 200 lbs and have been using my Tornado for everyday commuting in and around the city as well as weekend day tours and the Tornado has more than met my expectations. As a newbie to recumbent triking, with limited funds, I'm totally HOOKED and best of all, I didn't break the bank to make the purchase, nor did I have to compromise on quality or features either.

OK, here ya go - this TerraTrike Tour has been with me for three weeks, here in Colorado Springs.
My Haluzak Hybrid Race, sorry about the pic quality, hope to have better ones by tomorrow.
This is my Vision R40 which came to me third-hand with the tiny little 16" front wheel. A limited selection of quality upgrade wheels started me on the path to reconfigure the Vision to take a 20" or larger front wheel.
After a good deal of research and trial and error, I decided to use a Volae 26" fork with disc brake mounts, Rans HR3Way handlebars and an adjustable stem from a donor bike to get the fit just about right. As with any of my bikes, there is a good deal of fine-tuning and a few more upgrades in the near future, but so far she suits me fine--at least until I can buy a Volae Sport or a Rans F5.
The next upgrade is a set of Velocity Thracians (I have them on hold right now and $250 will liberate them!)
Here she is...feedback, comments, questions and insults are welcome.
When I first met her, she looked like this:

Hi I just recently purchased a ecoped ode and I must say its a fun little thing to use. My only problem that where I live most residential roads are 40km/h and the ode goes 32.
I was wondering if anyone knows a way I can modify it preferably without spending money, to make it go 40 km/h. I've heard people who said they can disable the speed limiter in the controller but havent found a way to do it yet.
Thanks for your time

Dropping Dow
Finance | Whether Thursday's plunge was due to a typo or not, it revealed a volatile market and nervous investors
NEW YORK-The Dow Jones took a rollercoaster ride Thursday, plunging a breathtaking 998 points in just minutes but rebounding later in the day to an overall loss of 348 points or 3.19 percent. At first people speculated that the slide was due to the financial turmoil in Greece; now sources are reporting that the plunge may be due to a simple typo-a trader inputting "billion" instead of "million." Whether the plunge is due to a mistake or not, the slipping stocks reveal a still-volatile market and investors who are nervous about the situation overseas.
Greece is pleading for a $140 billion rescue package now that the rating agency Standard & Poor's has relegated its bonds to junk status, meaning Greece is now a very risky place to invest. On Thursday, Greece's parliament passed austerity measures to narrow a 13.6 percent deficit. These measures would raise taxes and cut pensions and salaries for government workers. Citizens marched on parliament to protest the measures, turning ugly when they lobbed gas bombs and stones at police, shouting, "Burn this brothel of a parliament." The police retaliated with tear gas. Three bank employees burned to death in a bank that was set fire to by protesters-an act that Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou called "murderous."
Iwan Azis, a professor at Cornell University, has a gloomy outlook on the American economy and believes the unrest in Greece will make it worse. Basing his prediction on an analysis of the financial markets, housing sector, and market confidence, Azis has predicted a double-dip recession when the temporary stimulus measures phase out and the influx of stimulus money ends. According to Azis, the situation in Greece, which he had not figured into his original prediction, only makes the prognosis worse.
In Greece, the recovery will be even slower than the United States, he predicts, since the European Central Bank (ECB) has been less willing to buy up private securities. The Federal Reserve bought trillions of bad securities-including the mortgage-backed securities that caused the markets to go bad when housing prices plummeted. He predicts that the the recovery in Europe will be slower than the one in the United States because of the ECB's unwillingness to take this step.
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there were 290,000 jobs created in Aprilthe most in four years--but the unemployment rate still rose from 9.7 percent to 9.9 percent as 805,000 people returned to the job search process. There are still 15.3 million unemployed. The Dow Jones bouncing yesterday shows how volatile and unstable the markets still are. That same kind of volatility, along with violence, already has played out in Greece.

I'm going to ask you to imagine something you don't want to imagine, but bear with me:
Let's say that you're the mother of children ages 7, 9 and 25, and had another child who was killed in a car accident over a decade ago. And one of your worst nightmares has come true: You've been told you have a fatal disease for which you can only manage the symptoms. In the meantime, your husband fervently believes that he needs to tackle a huge project, one that will disrupt the entire family for an indefinite amount of time but will also serve a higher, loftier goal. You, knowing loss as intimately as you do, don't want your illness to get in the way of your husband's dreams, so you decide that, for the duration of your husband's must-do dream project, you and your young children will make the best of it, love one another, be together and make memories along the way.
But if you're a mom who's in the public eye, your choice makes you a target. Folks in the blogosphere [1] tut-tut that you're being selfish and shouldn't be dragging your grade-school-aged children along with you and your husband pursuing his dream. You should just forget about the dream and stay home with your children, the internet tells you, because that's what other people say they would have done had they been in your position. And because of your public status, the media [2] are only too happy to exploit [3] this difference of opinion.
Elizabeth Edwards -- attorney, mother, social activist, cancer sufferer and outspoken spouse of a Democratic presidential candidate who's waging an underdog campaign for his party's nomination – doesn't deserve to be singled out and rhetorically slapped down for her choices. Elizabeth and John Edwards have decided to go on a family adventure (a long-shot presidential campaign), to take their young children out of school for a while to travel the country and create memories that they hope will last a lifetime in their children's hearts. So whose business is it how they live their lives as a family for as long as they possibly can? Elizabeth Edwards was clearly stunned by the recent flurry of criticism, which was kicked off by a New York Times [4] story about how the five presidential contenders who have children under the age of 10 parent while on the campaign trail. She responded to the controversy by personally posting a heart-wrenching comment on a web site that criticized her and told her to get off the campaign trail:
"With all due respect, what you would choose to do is relevant only once: when you choose how to spend your remaining days. I made my choice; because of our lives it was a public choice, but the choice doesn't belong to the public, it belongs to me. And with all due respect, you have no idea what the quality or amount of the time I spend with my children is . . . You don't get to say I am a terrible mother because you think you wouldn't make my choice in my situation."
Michelle Obama [4] – attorney, mother and outspoken spouse of another presidential candidate who ranks second in many polls for the Democratic nomination – was the subject of similar condemnation earlier this year when she announced that she was going to scale back her work in order to help her husband Barack campaign. However the attacks on Michelle Obama weren't over her maternal judgment, they were over her level of commitment to feminism and whether jettisoning her full-time career to become a "professional wife and hostess," as one critic said, was a retro, 1950s-ish move that will set back the cause of professional women.
Given the recent attacks on Edwards, I have to stand by the point I made in a column [4] in June: No matter what a presidential candidate's spouse does in the area of work and family life (let's leave Hillary Clinton's husband out of this argument for now), she's going to get slammed.
No matter what.
The article that started this recent round of criticism was, ironically, headlined, "In 2008 Race, Little Ones Go With Daddy [5]." [Emphasis added.] While it mentioned other candidates' families, it pit the Edwards and Obama families against one another when it came to how they handle having their young children on the campaign trail. "Emma Claire and Jack Edwards, 9 and 7, were on their umpteenth campaign trip earlier this month, this time through small towns where their father was decrying rural poverty and the power of lobbyists," the piece began. "The two children barely listened. They scampered away as fast as their parents would allow, to vending machines and arcade games and swimming expeditions . . . and they treated an interviewer the way politicians surely wish they could at times, refusing at first to remove their iPod earphones for a discussion of life on the trail."
Later in the article – which said "all of the candidates use their children to charm voters" -- the Obama children, ages 9 and 6, were described as being kept from their dad (who they see "one day a week most of the time, twice if they are lucky") and being hauled around on seven campaign trips during the summer, but the article noted that the girls will go back to Chicago to settle into the school year. "Mr. Edwards and Mr. Obama represent the poles of the debate," the article asserted, "Mr. Edwards has upended his children's lives for the campaign while Mr. Obama is determined to keep his daughters rooted at home with their routines in tact – while the others fall somewhere in between."
No doubt it's unfathomably difficult for a young family when a parent runs for president, but does all of this judgmental nonsense and name-calling change anything? Is it productive in any way? Maybe I'm a bit of a Pollyanna when it comes to this subject, but I long for the day when, instead of ripping apart other parents for sport, we just focused on our own families. And when it comes to people who have the immense challenge of parenting in public -- from Britney Spears and Angelina Jolie [5], to Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama – I wish that people could try to imagine what it's like to be in their shoes before casting stones in their direction.

Also I recently learned more about the 16th century ghost story game played first by the aristocracy warrior class, before spreading across Japan and have remained popular all the way up to the modern era. It is where I found the name Kaidan - as the title of my feudal Japan/Asian horror setting.
The game was called: Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai - which means, "a gathering of 100 weird tales, (ghost stories)". 100 candles are lit and placed in a large circle. Story tellers and listeners sit within the circle. As a single story is completed in its telling, the teller wets his fingers and douse one candle. This process continues until 100 stories are told, and 100 candles extinguished. As the last candle is doused and full darkness settles in on the participants, something dark and evil or dead has been attracted and is waiting outside for one of the participants - or so it is said.
I plan to include this description with the start of my setting.
I think its cool that I'm designing a Japanese horror game, using the same name as a ghost story telling game from five centuries ago. It seems like fate, that I am doing so.
Thought you might find that interesting - I did.
PS: as an aside, I am taking my nephew to spend a night in a supposedly 'most haunted house in Indiana', the Hannah House, while doing a 'ghost hunt' with a group of ghost hunters and their usual gear of IR cameras, recording devices, etc. It should be fun - and widen my ghostly experiences of late...

Assad loyalists film themselves abusing a Sunni citizen they've abducted at gunpoint.
The citizen begs his captors to release him, a plea which of course falls of deaf ears.
The regular Syrian Army makes extensive use of the 'al-shabihah' civilian death squads in order that it will be difficult for the UN to effectively lay war crimes charges against senior members of the brutal regime & Army.

He's not tied up tightly. This is fake.
This is a propaganda piece made by the bloodthirsty FSA and Al-Qaeda thugs to try and discredit the lawful Bashar Government.
True militia and army don't film themsleves torturing prisoners. The only films like this come out of FSA or Al-Qaeda cadres.

So these are just the people on the other side of the conflict delivering some vigilante "justice". No different from the rebels. There is no need to "make use of" civilians who oppose the rebellion. They just oppose it on their own. They fight for their own lives, and would continue to fight their sworn enemies even if Assad wer gone. In fact, being that it is sectarian violence, Assad was the only thing standing in the way of this happening regularly for decades already. It More.. is not fair to treat prisoners like this, but it is only fair that Assad gets out of the way of the people defending their own sect, when another sect refuses to be peaceful. That is not "making use of", that is just letting them defend themselves. They wanted tribal war, and they got it. This is their reward. They were never going to spare the Alawites, so they are not spared by them.
Civil war. It's shit. Everybody knows that. That's why you try to get along. Less..

'Mad Men' 101: Two Professors Explain the Season Finale
In our weekly series "Mad Men: A Conversation," a panel of academics and experts (led by lawyer and Supreme Court advocate Walter Dellinger), weigh in on the latest episode of AMC's period drama about the advertising world. The fifth season finale of "Mad Men" was particularly mysterious, and, frankly, we all need some help unpacking it. In this final installment, two "Mad Men: A Conversation" panelists, Columbia University history professor Alan Brinkley and Columbia theater and television professor Evangeline Morphos, offer their take on what the last episode really meant. Take a seat students, class is in session.
Evangeline Morphos
In what will become an iconic visual image of this season, the partners of SCDP line up in isolation, their backs to us, in front of the panorama of the New York skyline that will be the view from their expanded office space. A hopeful "view" of the future, perhaps: but also an expanse of unfinished space—still to be filled. Matt Weiner—as both a writer of this episode, and its director–gives us a sense of stories yet to be completed.
The episode is fraught with the idea of lost opportunities. In his toothache-induced fever-dreams Don sees images of his dead brother; Joan questions whether she could have done anything to stop Lane's suicide—"Why didn't I give him what he wanted?"; and Pete, in poignant desperation, sleeps with Beth before she leaves for electro-shock therapy. Could anything have been done to save these people? Probably not.
Don's attempt to make things right with Lane's widow ends in a line of curled-lipped scorn. "Don't leave here thinking that you've done anything for anyone but yourself."
The air is heavy with Marie's admonition to Megan: "Not every little girl can do whatever she wants. The world could not support so many ballerinas." But the world of "Mad Men" belongs to those characters who go after what they want. Megan snakes the audition opportunity from her friend Emily. Peggy goes after the cigarette account, and she even seems satisfied with her trip to Richmond, Virginia although the view outside the motel presents two humping mutts. Roger is revealed to be the one making breathy, anonymous phone calls to the Draper household in the hopes of re-connecting with Marie and re-discovering LSD.
Those characters who think deeply and are troubled by their choices—Don, Joan and Pete–are left in an Updike world of feeling incomplete. Something is missing.
Although Pete's arc this season has seemed to present the sleazy actions of a man afraid of losing his youth and searching for a renewal in sex, he reveals a striking self-awareness in his conversation with Beth. Emboldened by the new anonymity he has with this woman who no longer remembers who he is, he confesses that life with his family is "a temporary bandage on a permanent wound." Yet, there is comfort on the 38th floor, when Pete states that he will finally have a view just like Don's.
Can a view of the future help these embattled souls? As Joan says to Don. "I know a dentist. He's in the steeple of the Chrysler Building. Even if he can't help—you still get to see the view." Take the world as it presents itself.
Perhaps it is a "view" or a perspective that can also rescue Don. When he meets Peggy in the movie theatre they both seem awkwardly delighted. (Haven't we been wondering how the first meeting would go?) "So it's going well," Don asks. "Yes. Is that O.K.?" Peggy answers.
Don continues, "That's what happens when you help someone. They succeed and move on." "Don't you want them to?" "I'm proud of you—I just didn't think it would be without me."
This very rich exchange is really about Don's growth throughout the season. He has been the father, the adult—and learning to let go is part of the development. Don's exchange with Peggy prompts him to look at Megan's reel.
In a scene that evokes the haunting last episode of Season 1 ("The Wheel"), Don watches—objectively, appreciatively, and longingly—the black and white film images of Megan. Who is she? Does she belong to him?
At the end of the episode, Don clearly has arranged for Megan to get the role of Princess in the shoe commercial. As he leaves the luridly colored "palace" set, he walks alone down the long space of the empty sound stage—seeming to emerge at the other end in the bar he is familiar with. We see him again, as he was in the first episode. "Are you alone?" is the question. Does Don know the answer?
Alan Brinkley
At the beginning of this final episode of the season, we see Don uncomfortable – and not only because he has a toothache. He is disturbed by a young man in the office who looks like his younger brother. (Most continuing watchers will remember that his real brother hung himself many years ago.) Under anesthetic for his toothache, he sees him again delusively. It seems likely that Don's role in Lane's suicide has drawn him back to his unforgotten past.
But Don is not alone with his discomfort. Megan is unhappy, lying in bed, drunk and despondent, while her mother scolds her for giving up what she considers her impossible goals as an actor or an artist. Beth (the unhappy wife of Pete's train friend) not only continues his brief affair with Pete. He later visits at her hospital, where she has been given electro-shock treatment, presumably because of depression. Pete, in a rare moment of sympathy, finds that Beth no longer has any idea who he is. Joan is still mourning over Lane, feeling that she was in some way responsible. And when Don visits Lane's widow and gives her an insurance check for $50,000, she rebukes his consoling worlds and abruptly pushes him out the door (although she keeps the money). Not everyone finds offers of sympathy consoling. The younger Mad Men (and women) are also unhappy. Ginsberg is angry that he is no longer (at least for now) the king, and all the younger ad men seems to be squabbling with Peggy gone.
Roger is still bored with the company and spends much of his time talking on the phone, meeting friends in restaurants, and seducing women. Among the seduced is Marie, Megan's mother. Roger begs her to come to his apartment to give him LSD again, for at least the second time. Toward the end, we see Roger standing naked in front of a window looking out on the city. Who knows what hallucination he is experiencing? By 1967, LSD was no longer a psychiatric palliative – but just another illegal drug that was popular among the counter culture. But Roger, late in coming to LSD, is still entranced by it and keeps pleading for more.
One of the strangest uses of LSD, by the way, came from Clare Boothe Luce (former ambassador of Italy and member of Congress) and her husband Henry Luce (the publisher of Time, Fortune, Life, and Sports Illustrated). Spending time in his Arizona home in 1960 with his mostly absent wife, Henry Luce agreed to allow Clare's psychiatrist to give him a dose. Luce sat patiently as the drug began, and he spent most of his time reading a biography of Matthew Arnold and telling the psychiatrist about it. Not everyone brings LSD into a new dimension, but Roger – without much to do – finds LSD a great experience.
This last episode of this terrific season doesn't have an explosive finish. That happened in the previous episode. Instead, we see the characters discovering that SCDP (the "P" presumably is about to be removed) has finally become wealthy – far beyond what they had expected. Lane's puny $8000 that led him to his death would have seemed trivial later. Under the dark cloud of Lane's suicide, Don and his colleagues visit an unfinished floor in the Time-Life building where SCDP will double their space. They are moving forward into a new financial world – and a new culture emerging.
For more on the finale go here.

No adjustment is too challenging if it means your kitchen will become more efficient and functional. And to show you how awesome these changes can be, here are two inspiring makeovers.
Notice how outdated and old this kitchen seems in the before photos? That's not because of the style but because of the colors and all that wood. Take a look at the after photos and you'll see that the kitchen remained pretty much the same but it looks so fresh and chic now that it has a lighter color scheme. It's like the white and the wood swapped places.{found on untamedperspective}.
A similar transformation can be seen here except in this case the new design is missing a few of the old things. The bottom cabinets only changed color and become a modern gray while the top ones were removed altogether. Instead, white subway tiles and a sleek hood took their place. The other set of wall-mounted cabinets were kept there and became white, a pure and simple color that suits them perfectly.{found on theinspiredroom}.
