From a recent interview for the Quill & Quire:
"Food stylists are like artists, and food is their medium," says Whitecap Books art director Michelle Furbacher, who has worked closely with photographers and stylists on best-selling cookbooks such as Rose Murray and Elizabeth Baird's Canada's Favourite Recipes, Anna Olson's Sugar, and The Harrow Fair Cookbook.
"Sometimes a recipe doesn't end up looking quite as lovely as it tastes, so knowing how to play up the strengths of some of the ingredients, or how to present a dish in a way that looks more appetizing, is essential," says Furbacher.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Fairport, NY, United States, 2013/08/19 - Hardware/software combination can create professional schematics from undocumented PCBs - Saelig.com.
The RevEng System is a remarkable reverse-engineering hardware tool for creating professional quality circuit schematic diagrams from a sample PCB that lacks documentation. The RevEng System consists of a PC-controlled continuity-detecting hardware system, RevWin control software, and EdWin, a fully featured CAD package. RevEng learns the connectivity of the sample circuit, producing a netlist of the components and connections for importing into EdWin software, resulting in professional quality circuit diagrams.
RevEngs learning process is achieved through clips, connectors, and probes that are attached to clusters of components. RevWin guides the operator to place and walk the clips around the device under test. RevWin generates the most efficient sequence of clip combinations and movements to learn all possible connections, but the operator can override the automatic placement of the clips if necessary.
To minimize operator errors, the system applies an orientation check and pin check to confirm clip contact and position. RevEng learns without the need for applying power to the board and limits the applied voltage and current so that semiconductor gates are not affected, which also makes it safe to use on low power technologies.
The EdWin professional drawing capability includes features such as: importing netlist place components, autorouting signals, multi-page schematics, bus structure support, an extensive library of over 12,000 devices, rubber band and rats nest functions, block move and rotate, etc. Optional facilities include Bill of Materials, PCB Layout, mix-mode simulation, Arizona Autorouter, thermal analyzer, EDSpice, EMC + Signal Integrity. Edwins special features enable same-day drawings of unknown, complex boards.
RevWin is the software that controls the system hardware and provides links with the CAD software. Its key features include: icon-driven operation, context-sensitive help, unlimited number of clips and connectors, partial circuit learn and draw, repeat learn and verify, optimized clip movement, digital or analog circuits, guided probe for non-standard components, suspend/restart/terminated at any stage, etc.
The RevEng System is available as an entry-level system with 256 measurement channels for low budgets or small to medium circuits. For larger, more complex circuit needs, a high pin-count system equipped with up to 2048 measurement channels is also available.
Made by ABI Electronics Ltd., a leading European embedded test equipment manufacturer, the RevEng System is available now from Saelig Company, Inc. Fairport, NY. For detailed specifications, free technical assistance, or additional information, please contact Saelig 1-888-7SAELIG

Not sure what a short sale is? A short sale happens when the amount of the outstanding loans are greater than the amount for which the home could sell. Short sales are typically caused by prices in a market rapidly declining.
Short sales can be a way for homeowners to avoid foreclosure and get out from under their loan with the lender by settling.
What steps do I take in a short sale?
First, determine the true market value of your home. For those whose finances are already stretched, paying a licensed appraiser may not be an option. Therefore, a qualified local real estate professional that knows the current conditions of the Bellevue real estate market is the best way to get an accurate idea of your home's value.
Next, find out your closing costs. The knowledgeable Real Estate Brokers at Prospera Real Estate will take into account fees including title report, appraisal, escrow, property taxes, and agent commissions to tally your final costs upon closing.
Finally, get in touch with your lender and let them know of your situation. They may even have a particular team that manages short sales. Ask about their specific process. Some lenders will be more inclined to work with you than others. They may be able to decrease the amount owed or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to approve the final sale.
When it's time to sell your property, Aaron J. Rosen can help. Use our experience and knowledge of the local real estate market in Bellevue to sell your home quickly.

Stockholm (Jul. 9)
Neutral travelers reaching here today from Germany stated that 10,000 Jews were killed by the Nazis as a result of the report by British newspapers that it was a Jewish refugee from the Reich who suggested that the British demolish the dams in the Ruhr by aerial bombardment.
Although the London report was later denied by the British military authorities, who disclosed that the Royal Air Force had worked for many months on the plan to bomb the Ruhr dams, the Nazis utilized this report "to take revenge" on the Jews, these travelers declared.
A Nazi-controlled Dutch newspaper reaching here today from Holland reports that the German occupation authorities are using the Schaffelaans estate in Barneveld as a special internment camp for a small number of Jews "who have done good service for Holland and whose value is still recognized."

DENR selects new state parks chief
Posted June 11, 2014
Raleigh, N.C. — A former financial expert and science teacher was selected as the next state parks chief, the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources announced Wednesday.
Mike Murphy, 60, is a past managing director and president of Trident Financial Services and was an astronomy and physics instructor at Ravenscroft School. His first day as director of state parks will be July 22.
Murphy will oversee the state's 35 parks and four recreation areas, 20 natural areas, seven lakes, four rivers and four state trails – totaling nearly 220,000 acres of land and water. Murphy succeeds Lewis Ledford, who retired after 37 years of service to the state parks system.
"Mike brings to us passion, experience and a terrific skill set," DENR Secretary John Skvarla said in a statement. "He is ideally suited to lead the division as we approach the North Carolina State Parks system's centennial celebration in 2016. His diverse background as a science educator, a financial expert and businessman will play critical roles in supporting the multiple components of our state parks system."
Murphy earned his bachelor's degree in environmental science from the University of Virginia, a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and two other master's degrees, including one for astronomy from Swinburne University of Technology. He also served six years in the U.S. Navy, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant.

French Teaching Interns
"Our French intern is remarkable! Her flexibility, open-mindedness, and very warm personality are especially well-suited to working in our school." -International Montessori School of North Carolina
"Our intern is professional, inquisitive, caring, flexible, proactive, and a very fast learner." -Washington International School
Host a French Teaching Intern and add a unique dimension to your school's French program!
The French Teaching Internship Program offers U.S. schools and universities the opportunity to welcome young French educators to train as teaching interns in their classrooms. Teaching Interns are sometimes referred to as Teaching Assistants or TAs.
French TAs may assist with conversation groups, language laboratories, researching and creating class materials, extra-curricular activities on campus, and appearing as guest speakers in cultural courses. They TAs may assist in a classroom setting, gaining valuable teaching skills, and helping students connect to the language and culture of France and the Francophone world in a relevant way, while contributing to the creation of a multicultural atmosphere on campus.
French Teaching Interns are placed in K-12 schools and universities all across the United States.
The French Embassy program placed French TAs in the following locations for the 2016-2017 school year: Arizona, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, Utah, and Washington State.
View the French TA program informational card.
Logistics and Cost
Teaching Interns at the K-12 level are sponsored for visas in the "J-1 Intern" category and train a minimum of 32 hours per week under a designated mentor teacher. Under this framework, the host school is responsible for providing:
• Room and board in a host family (some schools ask two families to host in order to split the responsibility over two semesters)
• Health insurance ($75 per month, arranged through the visa sponsor agency)
• A $500 per month suggested stipend ($300 per month minimum)
• A one-time $1,690 maximum administrative fee for visa sponsorship services
• A designated mentor teacher
Teaching Interns pay for their own plane tickets to and from France as well as visa application fees at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
The total cost of hosting a French TA at the K-12 level depends on the length of time the school wishes to host the intern.
Assistants at the university level are sponsored for visas in the "J-1 Non-Degree Student" category and work 20 hours per week. Under this framework, the host school provides:
• Room and board
• Health insurance
• A tuition and fees waiver for 2 courses per semester
• A monthly stipend of $400-$600 (adjusted for local cost of living)
• A $750 administrative fee for visa sponsorship services
K-12 and university-level teaching assistants pay for their own plane tickets to and from France as well as visa application fees at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.
Recruitment and Selection
French assistants are recruited through the Centre international d'études pédagogiques (CIEP), an agency of the French Ministry of National Education. Host institutions are provided with candidate files in the early spring. It is also recommended that schools conduct phone or Skype interviews directly with candidates upon receiving the files. Host schools coordinate with the Embassy and US Sponsor organization to select their desired candidate(s) and then proceed to the application process for visa sponsorship. Host institutions are welcome to tailor the program to meet their specific needs so long as the intern's training activities remain within the J-1 visa framework.
Host School Eligibility Requirements
Host schools at the elementary and secondary levels must meet certain K-12 Host School Eligibility Requirements for visa sponsorship. Please review this document to make sure your school is eligible before proceeding.
Become a Host Institution
If your school or university would like to host a French TA, please complete the initial interest form or send us an email!
If you are a French student interested in becoming a teaching intern in the U.S., please visit the CIEP's site for potential applicants.

The Rasa is a dance that permeates the entire cosmos. Here, in the painting, what appears to be so common a thing like dance, which occurs on mundane plane, gains cosmic meaning and transcendental dimensions. It is the strength, ecstasy, urge that matters not its kind, that effects the transition from the timed to the Timeless. In Vaishnavism, absolute love is also the absolute detachment for it attaches with one and detaches from all entire world and all its things and beings. The dance performed for Krishna defines absolute love, which being able to drag the dancing 'gopis' away from the mundane, sets each 'gopi' free from the bonds of this ephemeral world and transcends her into the realms of timeless joy. In Vaishnava cult, Rasa defines union of the temporal with the timeless, the sublimation of the ephemeral into the transcendental, and the soul's inherent delight a journey from micro to macro from the perceptible form to the imperceptible Formless. Dance and music are the instruments of this transcendence, ecstasy its guiding principle, and love its axis and the finest spirit.
The painting has been rendered in characteristic Jaipur style of miniature painting of around 1800 A. D., except in the pattern of its border rendered using embossed gilded copper foil, a feature of Tanjore art, brought to Jaipur school by artists migrating from Tanjore to the Jaipur court. The painting depicts the hour of late evening, perhaps an evening of the 'Purnima' the last of the bright nights with full moon. Some clouds are in the sky but are weak and fragile not loaded with water and thus unable to contain light behind them, as those in the month of 'Kartika' around October. The earth seems to have bidden good-bye to monsoons, the well-fed mighty trees and delicate shrubs one laden with green leaves, and the other with beautiful flowers, denote, however, that the earth has stored in its bosom so much of water that it might feed them for many more months. This thick green stylised nature depicted in the painting is also the characteristic feature of Jaipur style. The dancing figures of Krishna and 'gopis' are in the centre. The columns of tall trees, flanking the dancers on either side, allow to the sky and the moon a window-type space in the middle.
As the Bhagavata Purana has it, on the 'Kartika-Purnima', Krishna, dragged by the inciting splendour of the full shining moon turning Yamuna's sandy banks into a molten mass of silver, reached Yamuna and under his favourite 'Kadamba' tree began playing on his flute. The enchanting melody, emitting from his flute, reached far and wide and into the ears of the 'gopis'. Their husbands opposed, but against their husbands' will they left homes. They knew not who they were and what had dragged them out of their abodes. Their feet moved first to take them to Yamuna and then to dance. They danced, each one desiring that Krishna danced with her singly and with her alone. Then, Krishna multiplied himself into as many forms as were 'gopis' and danced with them singly and in groups.

Dr Daljeet is the chief curator of the Visual Arts Gallery at the National Museum of India, New Delhi. They have both collaborated on numerous books on Indian art and culture.

Why has God called out only a small number of people now as part of His one true Church? Why have only they been given His Holy Spirit, which remains inaccessible to the rest of mankind? Is God playing favorites? Is this the only day of salvation? The day of Pentecost gives us the answers to all of these questions.
God's firstfruits should have a special view of the day of Pentecost because this holy day pictures them. More than any other day, this holy day—a day of smoke, thunder and lightning—shows their place in God's family plan. On this day God gave His law and His Holy Spirit. On this day God made it possible for you to be part of the bride of Christ—a firstfruit in His Family.
Let's review the fantastic history of the day of Pentecost.
The Law and the Holy Spirit
The Bible tells us that God gave the Ten Commandments to ancient Israel with a dazzling display of thunder, smoke and lightning: "[T]here were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled" (Exodus 19:16).
Then God Himself descended and "mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly" (verse 18). What an awesome display of power! Imagine the profound effect this must have had on the children of Israel. Having just been freed from their captors in Egypt, they must have been deeply moved.
What sort of effect would this display have on your life?
In reality, those people never even made it out of the wilderness. That entire generation, except for two people, died in the wilderness, having broken God's law again and again.
Only a few hundred years later, the entire nation of Israel was enslaved again, having totally rejected the commandments God gave it. The identity of 10 tribes was lost. The Israelites failed as a nation, having broken the law God gave them in such a fantastic display of power. In fact, that law that they failed so miserably to keep was given to the Israelites at their first Pentecost. If not for the fulfillment of the wave sheaf offering, we would fail just like they did!
In Acts 2, we read about the first Pentecost the disciples kept after Christ's ascension to His Father. Like the delivery of the Ten Commandments, there was an awesome display of power: There was a rushing mighty wind, there were tongues of fire, and all that were gathered near heard the disciples speaking in their own language (Acts 2:2-12). The Holy Spirit was sent to the disciples.
There is one verse that actually defines what the Holy Spirit is: "And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy [Spirit] shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Luke 1:35; see also Acts 1:8). Here Luke calls the Holy Spirit "the power of the Highest:" There is no biblical reference to the Holy Spirit as a third member of the Godhead. Rather, with the Holy Spirit you have access to the very power of God!
This giving of the Spirit was not meant to replace God's commands—far from it! The Holy Spirit enables us to keep the Ten Commandments, and not merely in the physical way that ancient Israel tried to do. Jesus Christ magnified these commands for us and then gave us the power—His power—to obey!
He said, "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire" (Matthew 5:21-22).
Christ goes on to show that simply looking on a woman lustfully constitutes adultery. Certainly the law was not being done away; it is to be kept in its spiritual intent, as Christ Himself did throughout His life.
When the law was given, mankind received specific instruction on how to obey God; when the Holy Spirit was given, true Christians received the awesome power necessary to carry it out as Jesus Christ did. Never underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit; remember, without it, the children of Israel failed to obey God.
Completing the Spring Harvest
The instructions for the holy days preceding Pentecost simply tell us that the days are holy convocations, when to keep them, and provide special instruction where necessary; for instance, we eat no leavened bread for seven days.
Of the 44 verses in Leviticus 23, 14 of them are connected to Pentecost. God does not give a specific date to observe this holy day; rather, He directly connects the observance of Pentecost to the spring harvest.
God gives an instruction in Leviticus 23:10-11 regarding this harvest that we must understand if we are going to comprehend the meaning behind Pentecost: the wave sheaf offering. The high priest would wave a sheaf of barley on the "morrow after the Sabbath" (verse 11). Once God had accepted this offering, the spring harvest could begin—not before.
That wave sheaf is a spiritual type of Jesus Christ, also the first to be accepted by His Father. Without Him as the first human ever to be born into the God Family, no one else could follow. The wave sheaf was offered by the high priest to God every year until Jesus Christ came, fulfilling the event it pictured.
Every year, the Middle East knows two harvests: The first is a smaller harvest following the winter rains; the second is the much larger fall harvest. Once the wave sheaf was accepted by God, the smaller spring harvest would begin, along with the 50-day count toward Pentecost (verses 15-16).
Because of Christ's success, the spring harvest has begun, and only those with God's Holy Spirit, originally given on this day, are a part of it (Romans 8:9). On Pentecost, two wave loaves were brought out: "two loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord" (Leviticus 23:17). In verse 18, these two loaves are offered to God. One loaf represents those few called out prior to Jesus Christ's first coming; the other represents the New Testament Church. Notice though: Both are baked with leaven — a symbol of sin! We are not perfect as Jesus Christ is perfect. There is no doubt that we have a tough job in making our garments clean and white as Jesus Christ's bride must be, but the bride does make herself ready (Revelation 19:7-8).
A much larger harvest, pictured by the Last Great Day, is coming later, but the fantastic day of Pentecost pictures the time we live in and the role we play. In the May 1985 Good News, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote: "[Pentecost] teaches us that we of the true Church are the 'firstfruits' only—the first to receive salvation through Christ. It teaches us that all others are not yet called."
If there is a race going on between God and Satan for souls, God is surely losing by a landslide. Thankfully, there is no such race. In fact, Scripture does show us that, today, the Gentiles, as "strangers from the covenants of promise," have no hope (Ephesians 2:12). If there were no future hope of salvation, however, every Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim would be eternally lost—condemned simply because they never heard the Word of God! This alone should tell us that God is not simply in a losing race to save mankind. That plan would be futile and fruitless!
Also, what of those who were born before Jesus Christ? With no Savior, what hope would they have? Those billions would be as hopeless as the Gentiles are today!
Today, only the Church is being called to receive salvation and being prepared to bring everyone else into God's Family. Pentecost identifies us as the firstfruits—the first of many brethren to come later (Romans 8:29).
What It Means to Be a Firstfruit
On that first Pentecost in a.d. 31, only 120 converts were present. After that, "the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved" (Acts 2:47). That continues to this day. But what is the advantage in being called today?
God gives fantastic blessings to the firstfruits that will never, ever, be available to anyone else again. True, our risk is greater; but the rewards are incalculable and will last forever! Only the firstfruits will marry Jesus Christ as described in Revelation 19. Only the very elect firstfruits are given the headquarters positions talked about in Revelation 3, and will share Jesus Christ's throne with Him (Revelation 3:21).
We do face Satan the devil, an evil society, and our own carnal human nature; with these things comes an increased risk of failure that those in the later harvest will not face. But we also have the opportunity to bring the entire world into God's Family!
Do you realize that the entire world is waiting for this spring harvest? "Because the [creation] itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the [sonship], to wit, the redemption of our body" (Romans 8:21-23). The world is waiting for God's elect to learn the lessons they need to help every man, woman and child become a member of the God Family!
The firstfruits are the hope of the entire world. This day of Pentecost puts the focus on the bride's role in God's Family; on this day God gave the law, His Holy Spirit, and made it possible to bring you into His Family as one of the firstfruits of many brethren. What an amazing blessing is the day of Pentecost!

Hunter made no secret of his plans to move the Christian Coalition away from its two-note, bang-the-drum issues: anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion. Instead, he focused on problems "Jesus would want us to care about," like poverty, hunger, HIV/AIDS and the environment.
That didn't go over well. In a conference call with board members Nov. 21, it quickly became clear that Hunter's priorities were not the priorities of the CC's base--and he offered his resignation. It was accepted unanimously.
Since one of Hunter's big issues is hunger, you'd think this would have been a great springboard for timely stories over the Thanksgiving holidays.
You'd be wrong, of course.
Hunger's a bummer, and the economy depends on you thinking about what you and yours don't have but want--not counting your blessings. The stories over the long Thanksgiving weekend were rabid rabble-rousing accounts of citizen-consumers spending money like spendthrift sailors, with lots of coverage about the exciting new trend of stores opening a minute after midnight to please ever-eager deal-seekers, plus the usual anxious tickers about whether this season's sales would top last year's.
These stories of unchecked consumer lust created an uncomfortable, bordering-on-sick contrast with the stories that same day coming out of Iraq--where it must have seemed as if all hell was literally breaking loose. . Car bombs, missile attacks on civilians, topped by missile attacks on holy shrines, versus shop, shop, shop.
Talk about hunger, though, and it makes people uncomfortable. Don't want to think about it, don't want to talk about it. We want to make it go away in our minds because we don't want to address making it go away in reality.
If you don't believe me, how about this unbelievable, Orwellian turn: The government, through the Department of Agriculture, has eliminated the term "hunger" from its yearly reports on, uh, what they now call "low food security." Nearly 11 million Americans now have "low food security," but nobody's going hungry anymore.
So who needs a Christian leader to talk about it? The media knows hunger is a no-sell; nobody's going to watch Sean Hannity debate people about hunger. Christian leaders who appear on TV need to be inflammatory. They need to address issues that divide people. They need to talk about damnation, not salvation. They need to be Christian hypocrites: Hypochristians.
With all that in mind, my wife and I went to a Vanity Fair preview of "One Punk Under God," the Sundance Channel's forthcoming reality show that follows Jay Bakker, son of Jim and Tammy, and his fledgling ministry. The show illustrates its struggles to gain a toehold in an era when much of the Christian power structure wants to wear jackboots. Bakker preaches a gospel of inclusion and forgiveness, one that believes Jesus is open to all, without judgment, and offers love unconditionally.
The new program itself was a mixed bag. Bakker the younger is a bit affected by the camera, and not all his actions seem particularly natural. But the panel afterward, which featured the tattooed, bespectacled minister, was refreshing and far more revealing.
Vanity Fair's usually deft Michael Wolfe was an uninformed and condescending moderator, but Bakker was graceful and unassuming. The key moment when Wolfe asked if Bakker's autobiography and new series weren't more about self-aggrandizing, like his father, than faith.
The most telling moment came when Bakker talked about one new member of his congregation, a transgender individual who came up to him after a sermon and said she found the church through the Internet. "She said, 'I really want to go to church, but I need to find one where people won't hate me,' " Bakker recalled. "That's why I'm doing this. People need to know Jesus is about love, unconditional love." Amen to that. "...Once a year when Christmas comes We give to our relations And perhaps we give a little to the poor If the generosity should seize us But if any one of us should interfere In the business of why there are poor They get the same as the rebel Jesus." -- "The Rebel Jesus," Jackson Browne

Discussion in 'TV & Video' started by G.Armour, Jul 17, 2010.
Jeepers Creeepers
Lol, you said IT not me
Well, I think Jeepers Creepers is most scary movie. This movies format is based on a series of horror films Jeepers Creepers large and struck gold at the box office of an audience composed mainly of teenagers and young adults. I was so scare watching this movie.
I was laughing too hard while watching this movie to actually be able to understand the plot. LOL (Just kidding, BTW! I actually like this movie, but it definitely didn't scare me.)
I have never found a truly scary movie (for me at least), though I have seen a lot that were just disturbing (Faces of Death). I hate how some of the movies have horrible acting. That, for me, ruins a lot of potentially good scary movies.
I was thinking about it, I really liked The Mist (Stephen King) and The Stand (again Stephen King).
And probably like with most movies made from books, The Stand novel was way better than the movie. I understand it was made for TV....I think I wanna see a remake thats put in theaters.
The good old "Exorcist"! The uncut one is also. Watch it in the dark.
I just thought of another really good scary movie. It's called House and is based off the novel by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. I think it is a great movie and the book is even better!
Google Books: House - Google Books
IMDB: House (2008)
No one thought Nightmare on Elm street was scary, especially back in the day? I didn't like the sequels after the 2nd one but that had me freaked out for a little bit too.
One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
three, four, better lock your door.
^Yea I forgot about that ....lol 1 and 3 were the best IMO. I dont know what they were thinking with 2...
the original dawn of th e dead freeked me out as a kid
The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was quite disturbing.
My old lady and I are exact opposites. She gets freaked out by stuff that could really happen, i.e. the psycho serial killer stuff.
I get freaked out by the paranormal stuff. Paranormal Activity kept me up pretty much for two nights straight.
My feeling is, I can punch a real person, I can't punch a ghost. Thus, I don't worry so much about a real person trying to kill me.
Hills have eyes 2006 remake is pretty freakin eff'd up. That movie is up there in graphic images category.
Anything realistic is far better than monsters.
American Warewolf in London (orignal) scared me silly when I saw it when I was about 8 due to my sadistic babysitter making me watch it. A few months after that I saw Close Encounters of The Third Kind and the aliens gave me nightmares for ages. I love CETK now, but still get shivers when I see the aliens.
Movies don't really scare me now though but thats because I know how the special effects are done and I'm old enough to not believe everything I see.
^ok....watch a scary movie home alone with ALL the lights out... When its over keep the lights out and try to do stuff around the house...lol
The year was 1973... and the movie was, and in my opinion, one of the scariest "psychological" horror movies of all time. The movie was called "The Legend of Hell House".
It's not necessarily gory or bloody but it'll take you on a mental roller coaster.
LOL. I do that sometimes to myself. I don't even need to watch a scary movie. I freak myself out thinking that there's gonna be a little ghost kid like the one in Pet Cemetery behind me. After that, my heart starts pounding even though I know it's not real.
that's why Idiocracy is the scariest movie of all time. we are headed in that direction.
I'm a horror movie connoisseur and nothing really scares me.
A few good ones are Rose Red, Dead Silence with the ventriloquist and the original Amityville Horror. Love those movies
I'm glad someone else agrees with me about Rose Red. Have you seen The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003) (TV)
Yea, that was the prequel to Rose Red. It had a great story line and not just one of your slice & gore horror flicks.
Although I like those as well
I thought Ellen Rimbauer really answered a lot of questions Rose Red didn't.
I too love chop-em-up, bloody-gory movies too, but I would rather have a psychological horror movie that really makes you thing.
The ending of Rec, scariest moment I've seen on film.
While I love horror movies now (have a massive collection) when I was a kid the first movie that actually gave me nightmares was "Pet Cemetery".

Running Time: 96 min
After a brief paddle in the American mainstream, Hany Abu-Assad, director of the powerful Paradise Now, returns to his Palestinian roots with a very effective thriller that spins the head as it presses home its political points. You'll need to pay attention as the crosses and double crosses accumulate. But the effort will pay dividends.
Omar (Adam Bakri), a young, handsome baker, lives a typically uneasy life in the occupied West Bank. Scaling the "separation wall" becomes a daily inconvenience, as he visits his girlfriend Nadja (Leem Lubany), makes his way to work, and meets up with similarly disenchanted pals. It's impossible not to think of Northern Ireland as we watch Omar being harassed by occupying soldiers and drifting that bit closer to an act of ruinous violence.
Omar and two friends hatch a plan to assassinate an Israeli soldier. Filmed in cool, dispassionate fashion (the victim is a distant blob to us and them), the attack is carried off successfully. However, the next day, following a terrific chase down alleyways and through backyards, Omar is captured by the security services. He is beaten, tortured and eventually tricked into a half-confession. Our hero appears to agree to collaborate, but we suspect his intentions are more obscure.
The film does have things to say about the way political violence can waste young lives. We are, however, left in little doubt as to where the film-makers' ultimate allegiances lie. Abu-Assad's version of the West Bank is an extended prison camp, where normality is always just out of reach. A few half-hearted efforts are made to "humanise" Omar's chief interrogator – he's allowed a family, at least – but the Israelis remain a largely malign presence.
All this heightens the suffocating atmosphere and makes the escalating tension feel that bit more uncomfortable. The end result is a nerve-rattling entertainment flavoured by vigorous, deeply felt polemic. Abu-Assad returns in triumph.

Part 1 in our MarshallBomb Series ... Crossposted at Daily Kos and Pam's House Blend
As many of you know, my political adventures led me to start a PAC last year. I wanted to break away from the predominant funding mechanisms in North Carolina and start creating a grassroots network of committed progressives. I wanted to build a donor list that would put people who believed in LGBT equality, good government, ethics reform; in short, big-and-little-D democratic values. I wanted to make sure there was an effective voice for young, progressive candidates in our state. So I started the Grassroots Farm Team PAC, opened a bank account, registered with the State Board of Elections, and started raising money.
With a full-time job and finishing my A.B. degree, it's been hard. It hasn't always been fun. However, it's stories like this that make it all worth it.
More below the fold ...
Asheville City Councilman Gordon Smith is the founder of Scrutiny Hooligans, a progressive blog many of you know. This time last year, he was just a candidate, and he needed our help to put him over the finish line.
Gordon is not shy about his belief in equality. While blogging at Pam's House Blend, he set out what he believes:
The gay and lesbian citizens of Asheville deserve equal recognition and equal benefits. To deny these benefits is to relegate gay and lesbian couples to second-class status. We all know that Asheville is a gay-friendly city, and our city government ought to reflect our commitment to honoring the civil rights of all our citizens.
It was because of that commitment that we wrote our single biggest check of the year to Gordon. In his own words: "thanks to Sam Spencer and the NC Farm Team. They helped my Asheville City Council campaign just when I needed it most."
Gordon has gone on to become a great leader on the city council. In a year when regressive forces in Asheville have gone as far as ignoring the Establishment Clause in an attempt to bar an atheist from joining the city council, Gordon has stood up for what he believes in:
Councilman Gordon Smith is asking the council to move forward with the idea of giving same-sex domestic partners health insurance, bereavement leave and other benefits.
If a majority votes yes, city staff would come back to the council at a later date with information including estimated costs and who would qualify. A final vote on the measure could then follow.
Granting the benefits would "provide equal rights to our employees who are denied the option to marry," Smith said.
He even went on YouTube to make the case:
And then ...
After about 90 minutes of public comment and deliberation on Feb. 9, Asheville City Council voted 4-2 to support a motion by Council member Gordon Smith supporting benefits for city employees in same-sex domestic relationships. While the vote does not implement benefits such as health insurance and bereavement leave already afforded to straight married couples, it does mean city staff will conduct a financial impact study and other research and make a recommendation for Council vote in March.
According to Gordon, "There's another round or two to go before final passage, but I'm feeling confident. It's the first movement on equal rights for same-sex couples here in 16 years."
This time last year, a pro-equality candidate needed help, and the Farm Team was there.
This year, we're shooting a little bigger. We've got a pro-equality candidate who needs your help - Elaine Marshall:
Elaine believes it is not the Federal government's job to discriminate, including when it comes to sexual orientation. She believes we should honor the commitment of those serving in the military regardless of sexual orientation, and that we should follow the lead of our military leaders and repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Elaine supports the repeal of DOMA and the enactment of ENDA and UAFA. She supports eliminating all forms of discrimination under the law, including immigration law.
You can donate to Elaine here.
We need southerners in the Senate who support equality. Elaine Marshall is infinitely better than Burr in every way when it comes to civil rights ... and she's a hell of a lot better than many Democrats who are already in the Senate.
We've been doing a lot to get Elaine elected. Our ad campaign against Richard Burr got almost 1,000,000 impressions on facebook this past weekend, and we've got lots of great stuff lined up. And this week we'll be opening a website for an October 8 "MarshallBomb."
I'm asking my friends on BlueNC to pitch in $10 to help us get Elaine Marshall elected. We're going to be running an ad campaign to promote the MarshallBomb, while still helping great North Carolina candidates get elected. If you're willing to give more, that's great! We're building the small-dollar donor network that will help us raise the money we need to achieve big victories for young candidates across the state.
(Again, you can also donate to Elaine here).
If you'd like to help out, you can reach us at @NCFarmTeam on twitter, on our Facebook Fan Page, or by e-mail at NCFarmTeam <:at:> gmail.com.
Thanks for taking the time to read this – I hope we can earn your support!
Sam Spencer
Executive Director
Grassroots Farm Team PAC
Thanks, Sam
Keep working on bringing Progressives together, brother.
We'll be posting a whole series leading up to Oct. 8
Every one will be on Kos if BlueNCers will be so kind as to bookmark ...
In other news, the Burr ad campaign recently cracked 1,000,000 impressions for under $250, which is a great ROI in my estimation. That's a lot of North Carolinians who are going to be thinking about exactly what Burr has been doing with the past 16 years.
Great work!
I'm glad to hear about the money bomb, I've heard it talked about, but hadn't seen (or perhaps hadn't registered) the date.
And thanks again of course for endorsing now Mayor Kleinschmidt, another proponent of equality, last election cycle even if as a voter owned candidate we couldn't accept $, when the election comes down to 100 votes apart, every bit of support counts a lot.
I certainly noticed that there were Elaine Marshall signs all over the grounds at Pride this weekend.

Hasbro's SDCC Exclusive Titan Class Metroplex Towers Over Transformers, Pugs, Everything Else
While I was impressed by the 24" stature of Hasbro's new Metroplex (a.k.a. the Transformer who turns into a friggin' city) this past spring at Toy Fair, the figure's sheer scale didn't quite sink in at the time. Maybe it was just me being surrounded by New York City's skyscrapers? Whatever the case, when the SDCC 2013 exclusive Transformers Generations Titan Class Metroplex arrived at ComicsAlliance HQ care of Hasbro this week, I was immediately convinced I'd have to buy the thing its own love seat to fit it in my apartment. It's, like, bonkers big.

JERUSALEM (Nov. 11)
Premier David Ben-Gurion will make an effort to persuade former Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett to accept membership in the new Israel Cabinet, it was indicated here today. Mr. Ben-Gurion reportedly was ready to offer Mr. Sharett any portfolio except that of Foreign Affairs.
Mrs. Golda Meir, present Foreign Minister, was understood to be insisting she would not take that post in the next Cabinet but Premier Ben-Gurion reportedly hoped to persuade her to change her mind. If Mrs. Meir remains adamant, it was reported, Mapai leaders were expected to urge Mr. Ben-Gurion to offer the post to Mr. Sharett before considering Abba Eban, former Israel Ambassador to the United States, for the post.
Meanwhile, it was learned today that Zalman Aranne had informed Mr. Ben-Gurion in a letter that he did not wish to continue as Minister of Education in the next Cabinet.
Complete but unofficial returns in the elections for Israel's fourth Knesset, the Parliament, today gave Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion's Mapai party 48 seats for a gain of eight seats. In addition, the Mapai-Jinked Arab parties will have four seats. The Knesset has 120 seats.
The right-wing Herut picked up two seats for a total of 17. The General Zionists dropped from 13 seats to eight and the Progressive party gained one for six seats. Mapam held its previous nine seats and Achdut Avodah lost three of its 10 seats. The two left-wing parties had been Mapai's partners in the last coalition Government. The joint Agudah list kept its six seats and the National Religious party picked up one seat for a total of 12. The Communists lost three of their six seats.
The distribution indicated today was based on inclusion of the soldiers' votes. The Israel Central Election Committee was scheduled to meet tomorrow to approve the distribution of Knesset seats and to issue official nominations to the new deputies.

Slackware box possibly infected, how do I monitor TCP connections?
It looks like my Slackware box is trying to connect to random Chinese IPs. Here is the Firewall security log on the router:
I started experiencing network issues and tried a number of things like resetting the router and bypassing the router. Eventually I noticed this in the security log and I'm not sure what's causing it and I don't know how to find out.
Is netstat sufficient to see what process is spawning these socket connections? I'm really a newbie when it comes to networking. Also, the machine is headless (no desktop) so command line only.
Wireshark, Samhain, and iptables logs.
AlienBOBs script generator can be fairly tuned to be highly sensitive for logging or you can uses various wikis and wireshark can be downloaded and installed from the SlackBuild.org website. You also want an intrusion detection toolkit like possibly Samhain as well.
There's also aide and snort as well.
I would check your /etc/hosts file for any tampering as well and make sure you're running OpenSSL-1.0.1g or later SSL library, you should also look up how to lock down SSH clients and prevent login as root from remote sources.
Do you happen to have a chinese girl around that box? That would explain the spurious connections to spammy chinese urls coming from said slackware PC.
you got to catch it in the act thou, don't know of a program to do it automatically
How difficult to rebuild the box from scratch ?
For me this sounds more like a "classic" Rootkit which has replaced some binaries (like ps,top,pstree,netstat,lsof,...) to hide himself and is connected to a remote iirc/command center. If so, there is no need for network analysis :)
To check this, you can use this small shell script. Save it to a file and run this as root:
After you should clean your system (move or remove the netshell, reinstall the binaries from slackware ftp and check - like already said from others - how this came in and fill that gap)
....or you could verify the IP is hostile and we could all send many longboats full of fat vikings :D
Trying to connect is what those folks do; they'll walk IP addresses, get one that responds then walk ports looking for an entry.
Something you should think about is whether you have any system accounts open; no system account except root should be open (have a password). You /etc/passwd file should look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1565 Dec 7 15:13 passwd
The application, DenyHosts (see http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/) is effective, been using it for some years without any problems or break ins; it stops the bastards in their tracks quickly and effectively. DenyHosts runs as a daemon, you don't have to fiddle with it (after initial configuration and installation) and it optionally shares your experience with other DenyHosts users around the world (and, of course, theirs with you). Periodically, you'll send and receive the IP addresses of others' experience that are added to your /etc/hosts.deny file (or one of the other options; e.g., IPTABLES) -- after a while you'll have thousands of identified bad actors that are denied a connection. Of course, doing that is optional.
Most attackers are going to try to access your system via SSH. You must have a "good" root password (in any event) and not have passwords on any of the other system accounts (there is absolutely no reason to have a password or allow log in on any of them). "Good" means at least 10 characters (more are better), no dictionary words, include digits, include punctuation, never use qwerty or or a string of digits, all that sort of thing. Nothing guessable. If you have users, expire all their passwords so they'll need to change them on next log in.
Close ports (in your router) that are not necessary. Consider using an alternate port for SSH. If you are running a web page and using SSL, upgrade SSL to the current (or higher) version (be sure and reboot after you install it), revoke and regenerate all your SSL public/private keys, revoke and regenerate all your self-signed certificates (or get a new one from your certificate authority). You don't need to worry about your SSH public/private keys but it might not hurt to regenerate them while you're at it if you have had an intrusion (and use a really good passphrase too).
You can write a little shell program that scans your log for the IP addresses of failed log in attempts and create IPTABLES or /etc/hosts.deny entries for you, but you have actually set aside the time to do that every day or so. Might be better to take a look at DenyHosts or one of the other suggested utilities.
Hope this helps some.
Use rkhunter and clamav to look for rootkits and malware. Also iptraf-ng is installed by default in slackware and is quite good at packet sniffing.
netstat -cutpan
It might be only my own impression but, it looks like that the rate of working Linux malwares is rising right now.
These replies are either only funny or not to the point while investigating. Please be mindful that if a fellow LQ member wishes to address a potential security issue you address it as such and not as a vehicle to showcase your jocularity or unfamiliarity with incident handling procedures,
thanks in advance.
- Secondly, like fbsduser hinted at, there's Hanlon's Razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. People often think their box is cracked while the actual explanation may be Something Completely Different. Also problems, like your "network issues" (which you didn't explain in detail BTW), may have different, completely unconnected causes.
- Third: don't focus on any single aspect or symptom but try to look at the whole situation. While admittedly hard for a new Linux user this also means looking carefully at advice given. For example installing software (again: disturbing the crime scene) isn't advisable and installing file system integrity checking software only make sense on a known clean machine.
- Start by reading your distributions security documentation (if any) and the CERT Intruder Detection Checklist CERT Intruder Detection Checklist (old but still contains usable steps to take), perform the checks and post your findings.
- Network connections originating from the machine are caused by (user land) processes. So running
lsof -Pwlni 2>&1|tee /tmp/conns.txt
-A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -m tcp -m owner ! --uid-owner oprofile -j LOG --log-prefix "out_NEW " --log-uid
- Ask yourself when this situation started. Check your machine for file MAC time changes and user logins prior and up to that time.
- List what services the machine provides. Check your machine for system and daemon log file entries prior and up to that time.
- If you find changed or anomalous files and do make regular backups verify files against your backups.
*Unlikely, but if you somehow suspect a rootkit then don't use any kludges but boot from a Live CD and start your investigation.
**Please be verbose in replying, attach (or Pastebin) plain text output in support of your reply, reply timely and ask questions if unsure.
Ok, well, upSpawn just grew in my eyes with these two last posts :)
As for the situation, so I'm not completely off-topic, LukyLuke gave the clear starting point.. What goes next is up to the output from his commands..
a process can open a socket, send something and close the socket in way less time then it takes for lsof to parse /proc
so netstat, like fskmh said
bdw OP did not respond
also i liked that joke

The Watertown-Mayer/Waconia/Delano/Holy Family swimming and diving team finished in 11th place in their 16-team division last Saturday at the Maroon and Gold Invite hosted by Minneapolis South at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center.
In all, 57 teams competed at the meet, split into four divisions. In the Royals' Bronze Division, Sartell St. Stephen finished in first place with 490 points, beating out Brainerd, which took second with 468 points. The Royals finished 11th with 165 points.
Leading the way individually for the Royals was Zach Holman, who had two top-four finishes in events that featured nearly 50 swimmers. In the 50-yard freestyle, Holman finished third with a time of 22.92 seconds, and in the 100-yard freestyle, he took fourth in a time of 51.04 seconds.
Also with a top-five individual finish for the Royals was diver Tristan Gens. Gens finished in fifth place with 168.8 points.
The Royals' 200-yard freestyle relay team also enjoyed a strong performance, finishing in fourth place with a time of 1:35.92. That squad consisted of Kurt Gilbertson, Tylor Franklin, Shawn Wasser and Holman. The Royals' 400-yard freestyle relay finished in 10th place with a time of 3:40.17, and consisted of Wasser, Franklin, Holman and Jack Dalluge.
A number of individuals also scored points for the Royals with strong performances at the meet. Gilbertson finished in 15th place in two events — the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke. In the 50 Free, he finished with a time of 24.31 seconds, and he had a time of 1:11.52 in the 100 Breaststroke.
Wasser and Dalluge both had 14th place finishes. Wasser was 14th in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:01.8, and Dalluge was 14th in the 200-yard Individual Medley with a time of 2:19.10.
Franklin and Ben DeSutter both had 16th-place finishes. DeSutter was 16th in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 1:04.59, and Franklin was 16th in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 55.08 seconds.
The Royals were also in action on Tuesday, Jan. 8, when they traveled to take on Buffalo in a dual meet. The Royals will return to action on Thursday, Jan. 10, when they host a Wright County Conference dual against Litchfield at 6 p.m., and will then host their own invitational on Saturday, Jan. 12, beginning at 1 p.m. Teams scheduled to compete at that meet include Orono, Buffalo and Eagan.
