THE NORTHWEST BC employment picture continues to brighten slightly with 39,700 people working in January 2013, an increase over the 39,200 figure for December 2012.
In all, 42,900 people in January considered themselves part of the labour force whether they were working or not, a rise from the 42,700 figure the month previous.
The employment increase was sufficient to drop the jobless rate to 7.5 per cent in January compared to December 2012's rate of 8.2 per cent and November 2012's rate of 8.5 per cent.
The number of unemployed dropped to 3,200, better than December 2012's 3,500 figure and the 3,600 tally for November 2012.
January's jobless rate was enough to pull the northwest out of its traditional last place spot among regions in the province.
That distinction now belongs to the Kootenays which had a jobless rate for January of 7.8 per cent.
Across BC, employment fell by 16,000 in January, and the unemployment rate was 6.3 per cent, reports Statistics Canada.
With this decline, employment in the province returned to a level similar to that of 12 months earlier.
In percentage terms, the northwest's January 2013 jobless rate of 7.5 per cent is better than the January 2012 figure of 11.6 per cent.
But back in January 2012, the labour force of people who were either working or looking for word stood at 47,600 and there were 42,000 people actually working, 2,300 people more than this January.
Nationally, following two months of gains, employment decreased slightly in January by 22,000 people.
A decline in the number of people looking for work across Canada pushed the unemployment rate down 0.1 percentage points to 7 per cent.
The northwest jobless rate is not the number of people collecting Employment Insurance.
Instead it is based on interviews of people from the north coast to just this side of Vanderhoof who consider themselves as part of the workforce whether they are employed or not.
And that means the rate can reflect how people feel about their own employment prospects.

Boise State Beats Wyoming Cowboys at the Buzzer
Being short-handed didn't matter to Boise State, as the Broncos got two huge 3-pointers from Jeff Elorriaga in the final 33 seconds and upset the 25th-ranked Wyoming Cowboys 63-61 Wednesday night in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams. Elorriaga scored 12 points in the first half and didn't score again until the last two field goals of the game for the Broncos. Elorriaga finished with 18 points on 6 three's.
Wyoming (13-1, 0-1) trailed 57-50 with 2:47 left before they surged ahead 59-57. It was spear-headed by Leonard Washington, who hit a 3-pointer and had a steal and dunk that tied the game at 57. Riley Grabau had a basket and two free throws that book-ended the spurt.
Boise State (13-2, 1-0) responded with Elorriaga's first 3-pointer. Josh Adams got fouled on a drive to the basket by Elorriaga and made both free throws for a 61-60 UW lead with 9.1 seconds left. Elorriaga then buried the game-winner as time expired, helping the Broncos to their seventh straight victory.
Credit them for the shot said Grabau, "I don't know if it was a designed play, but he drove baseline, we reacted and he made a good play with the skip pass (that led to the game-winning shot)."
Eloriaga played all 40 minutes of the contest as BSU played short-handed. Four players, including Sophomore starting guard Derrick Marks (16.3 ppg, 4 apg), were suspended for a violation of team rules and didn't make the trip to Laramie. The other players were R-Fr. Mikey Thompson, R-Fr. Darrious Hamilton and Sr. Kenny Buckner. Boise State shot 46.2 percent (24-52) from the field, 57.9 percent (11-19) from beyond the arc and 66.7 percent (4-6) from the charity stripe.
Wyoming Coach Larry Shyatt said, "I thought they did much of what they've been doing, as well. Both teams sort of ran their stuff, defended as they usually do. There were no tricks. They made one more shot than us."
Wyoming was led by Derrious Gilmore with 17 points. Washington and Adams each finished with 12 points and 4 rebounds. UW shot 51.3 percent (20-39) from the field, 44.4 percent (8/18) from 3-point range and 72.2 percent (13-18) from the free throw line.
Boise State jumped out behind hot shooting, as the Broncos made 4 of their first 5 shots, which included three 3-pointers for a 14-6 lead. With Boise State ahead 18-11 midway through the half, UW went on a 9-0 run and took a 20-18 lead. The Broncos missed nine consecutive shots during a 7 minute drought, but finished the half strong. Behind 3 three's from Elorriaga, Boise State ended on a 11-6 spurt for a 31-26 edge at the break.
The second half started with a 19-4 run by the Pokes which put them up 45-35 with 11:29 to go. BSU responded with a 22-5 run over the next nine minutes that gave the Broncos a 57-50 advantage before Leonard Washington's key plays for the Pokes.
Gilmore said, "Adversity is something that we've faced all year. Tonight, things didn't fall the way we wanted to, but we'll get back in the gym tomorrow, prepare, get on to Nevada and get focused on that game. This will make us a better team, I can promise you that."
The Cowboys will try to bounce back on the road as they travel to Nevada on Saturday to take on the Wolf Pack at 4 p.m. with coverage starting on Y95 Country at 3:30 p.m.

Ayurveda, or ayurvedic medicine,
is a healthy-lifestyle system that people in India have used for more than
5,000 years. Ayurveda emphasizes good health and prevention and treatment of
illness through lifestyle practices (such as massage, meditation, yoga, and
dietary changes) and the use of herbal remedies.
medicine is holistic, which means viewing the body and mind as a whole.
Ayurveda not only treats a person's physical complaints, but it also changes
lifestyle practices to help maintain or improve health.
to ayurveda, the five elements of nature (space, air, fire, water, earth)
combine in the body as three components (doshas) known as Vatta, Pitta, and
Kapha. These doshas relate closely to the basic elements of nature and to
specific functions of the body. A balance of these doshas is thought to be
required for optimal health.
The doshas, which are determined at the time of conception,
also relate to an individual's physical makeup and personality. A person with a
Vatta makeup tends to have a small, thin build. The Pitta body style is more of
a medium, muscular build. The Kapha appearance is usually bigger and
well-developed. Most people are considered to have a combination of doshas,
with one type usually being predominant.
In ayurvedic medicine, it
is thought that if an imbalance occurs in any of the three doshas, illness
results. Ayurvedic medicine treats illness in many ways, including dietary
changes, herbal remedies, and exercise. According to the ayurvedic philosophy,
you can also use yoga, meditation, or counseling to treat disease.
People use ayurvedic
practices to maintain health, reduce stress, and improve flexibility, strength,
and stamina. Researchers have found that yoga and meditation can be effective
ways to treat diseases such as
high blood pressure, and
Ayurveda stresses proper diet
for maintaining good health and treating disease. Herbal medicines are
prescribed based on the person's dosha type.
Researchers are
studying the effects of ayurvedic herbal medicines on various long-term
(chronic) illnesses.
Ayurvedic practices such as yoga
and meditation can be safe ways to promote health. If you have a long-term
illness, you may be able to combine ayurveda with conventional medical
Ayurvedic herbal medicines, like conventional
medicines, may cause side effects, trigger allergic reactions, or interact with
other medicines or herbs you are taking. Some ayurvedic medicines may contain
high levels of heavy metals. A study found that about 1 out of 5 ayurvedic
medicine products in grocery stores in the Boston area contained potentially
harmful levels of lead and other heavy metals.1 Be
sure to tell your doctor about all herbs and natural supplements that you are
taking. If you have taken ayurvedic medicine products, ask your doctor about
screening for heavy metals.
Always tell your doctor if you are
using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an
alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be
safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an
alternative therapy.

All workers are required to pay into the Social Security system – unless you work for the government or some non-profit organizations. Employees have FICA (Social Security and Medicare) Tax withheld from their wages. Employers must match the amount withheld. Individuals with "net earnings from self-employment" pay the Self-Employment Tax – which is actually FICA Tax. However they must pay "both halves" of the FICA tax (the equivalent of the employee's share and the employer's share).
In reality self-employed individuals actually pay only 14.13% on "net earnings from self-employment", as the 15.3% is only applied to 92.35% of their net Schedule E (or K-1) earnings. Plus they are allowed an "above-the-line" deduction for ½ of their Self-Employment Tax – so the actual effective tax rate depends on their federal income tax rate. taking into account the 50% self-employment tax adjustment to income, the "effective" cost of your self-employment tax is –
* 15% Bracket = 13.07%
* 25% Bracket = 12.36%
* 28% Bracket = 12.15%
The "Fix The Tax Code Friday" topic at Kelly Phillips Erb's TAXGIRL blog today is "Fix the Tax Code Friday: SE Tax". She asks the question – "Should self-employed persons be allowed to opt out of paying self employment tax (and thus, collecting Social Security benefits and the like)?".
In my comment on the question submitted at TAXGIRL I said that "My answer is yes – but only if "normal" W-2 employees were similarly able to "opt out" of Social Security. As long as one class of worker is required to participate it should be mandatory for all classes.
I also support private Social Security accounts – not invested in the stock market, but in the money market or Treasury securities market."
If I was able to invest all the money that I paid into the Social Security system over the years, and all future payments, in a 5% money market account or bank CD I would have a lot more money at retirement than I will be collecting from Social Security.
In addition – if I apply for Social Security and get my first check and then drop dead the next day, all the money I paid into the system will not go to my beneficiaries but to other SS recipients. All the money will be lost! If I had instead invested the money in a private account the balance would pass on to my sister and other relatives.
My comment goes on to say – "The self-employment tax calculation should be corrected to bring it in line with the treatment allowed a one-man corporation. In a one man corporation all employee benefits provided to the owner, like health insurance and pension contributions, reduce {the money available to pay} the owner's salary. FICA tax is only assessed on the actual salary.
With a self-employed individual, the SE tax is imposed on net profit of the business before deducting the self-employed health insurance premiums and pension contributions for the self-employed person and the ½ of SE tax.
Owner health insurance premiums and pension contributions should be Schedule C deductions and not adjustments to income."
In the case of two self-employed individuals with the exact same income and expenses – one filing Schedule C and one incorporated – the Schedule C filer will pay a lot more in Self-Employment Tax than the incorporated business owner will pay in employee and employer FICA tax. Is that fair?
So how would you answer Kelly's question – and what do you think of my suggestions?

Category: 300 News Posted by: admin Just how many B.O. bucks can Warner Bros.' stylized battle pic "300" pillage this weekend?
'300' enters box office battle
Article Date: March 8, 2007 | Publication: Variety | Author: Ian Mohr
Source: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117960781
Based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller, pic has certainly galvanized Internet fanboys, and Miller began a solid track record with his previous pic "Sin City," (April's biggest ever R-rated opening at $29.1 million).
But "300" has also, somehow, piqued the interest of the intelligentsia: New York Times ran a news piece this week debating whether the latest project by "Dawn of the Dead" helmer Zack Snyder subtextually critiques, or kowtows to, American foreign policies under the Bush administration.
Based on such wide-ranging reactions, the bloody, R-rated pic, which depicts the ancient Battle of Thermopylae, has the potential to crossover from the Miller faithful.
Also in "300's" favor this weekend is that the pic has the multiplex battle field largely to itself as the frame's only new wide release, in just over 3,100 theaters.
Fandango, the online ticket service, was reporting Thursday that 92% of its advance orders for the weekend were for "300." Site also said that Imax shows for "300" were selling out particularly fast, and that three theaters in California were adding 2:30 am screenings as a result.
Miller has a cult aud that certainly knows its way around cyberspace, and Internet chatter on the pic has been high.
Then again, pics with Internet buzz have met with mixed results over the past year as New Line's "Snakes on a Plane" slithered into obscurity, but Fox's "Borat" hit socko returns.
People close to Warners said that the studio is looking for a debut in the $30 million-plus range, but B.O. pundits are speculating that the pic -- made in conjunction with Legendary Pictures and Virtual Studios -- could hit loftier heights.
Biggest ever R-rated opener in March was "Scream 3," which cut up $34.7 million in 2000.
Studio is going day-and-date in just five territories with "300," including, appropriately Greece, as well as Asian markets the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.
Pic will launch next weekend in its first major market in South Korea, then expand significantly March 23 frame to France, Holland, Italy, Mexico and the U.K.
Also looking to reap B.O. bucks over the frame will be last weekend's domestic No. 1, "Wild Hogs" from Disney, which looks to pull in a different demo than the "300" crowd, and Paramount's serial killer pic "Zodiac."
And pics opening in more limited release over the frame will include "The Ultimate Gift," which aims for the faith-based crowd and goes out in 816 locations, as well as Magnolia's Asian horror import "The Host," which rolls into 74.
Magnolia also has heading into theaters the credit crisis docu "Maxed Out."
IFC has no less than three pics hitting screens this weekend, including sports drama "Believe in Me," racy French import "The Exterminating Angels" and Rwandan genocide tale "Beyond the Gates."
Fox Searchlight stakes out six screens for its muli-culti "The Namesake," by Mira Nair.
On the foreign front, BVI launches "Wild Hogs" into its first foreign markets this weekend with launches in Australia and New Zealand. The laffer will move into Euro markets next month.
But Sony's "Ghost Rider" has a good chance at winning its fourth straight international weekend as it moves into Hong Kong and Portugal. As of Wednesday, "Rider" had cumed about $64 million overseas in 50 markets and $160 million worldwide.
Par's "Norbit" will likely challenge for the top spot with launches in Brazil, Germany, Russia, Scandinavia and the U.K. As of Wednesday, the Eddie Murphy vehicle had cumed nearly $10 million overseas for seven markets, led by Mexico with $3 million and Australia with $2.9 million.
Warner's "Music and Lyrics" will seek out romantic comedy fans via openings in Germany and Mexico. Foreign cume is over $32 million from 18 markets, led by $16 million in the U.K., and should soon match the $39 million domestic total.
Other notable openings this weekend include "Epic Movie" in Spain, "The Fountain" in Mexico and Spain, "The Last King of Scotland" in Japan, "Notes on a Scandal" in Argentina and Russia., "Pathfinder" in Germany and "Smokin' Aces" in Belgium and South Korea.

Clinton, Bush, Boehner to host Flight 93 event
Two former presidents and the Speaker of the U.S. House will host a May fundraiser in Washington for the Flight 93 National Memorial, the National Park Foundation said Monday.
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and House Speaker John Boehner will host the May 15 benefit, which aims to secure funding to complete the memorial, including a "Tower of Voices" containing 40 huge wind chimes and a learning center.
The foundation said that previous efforts raised about $62 million -- enough to open the first phase of the memorial, which is located near Shanksville, about 75 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Another $14 million is needed to complete the entire project.
"It is our duty to finish building the memorial to those on Flight 93 who gave their lives on Sept. 11," Clinton told The Associated Press in a statement. "Together we can ensure that the story of the ultimate sacrifice the heroic citizens of Flight 93 made to preserve our freedoms will endure."
Bush said in a statement to the AP that "the heroes aboard Flight 93 left behind a legacy of bravery and selflessness that will always inspire us. What happened above that Pennsylvania field ranks among the most courageous acts in our history."
Boehner said the National Park Foundation has made great progress toward securing the funds to complete the memorial, but "we haven't crossed the finish line yet."
The foundation said that so far, 90 percent of the money raised has come from individual donors and foundations, and 10 percent from corporate donors.
"Flight 93 families are deeply grateful to Presidents Clinton and Bush, and Speaker Boehner," said Patrick White, President of the Families of Flight 93. "The National Park Foundation's superb efforts are appreciated, as well."
The first phase of the memorial was dedicated in September.
The site honors the 40 passengers and crew members who died when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field near Shanksville on Sept. 11, 2001.

An enchanting and unspoiled treasure offering the best of Alabama waterfront real estate as well as a superior alternative to the Alabama Gulf Coast. The Judy Niemeyer Team is ready to help you find the home of your dreams.
There are no theme parks here, just a shoreline with panoramic views. Instead of souvenir shops, there are fashionable boutiques and galleries. Lodgings for visitors are bay cottages, small inns, cozy bed & breakfasts, and a world class southern resort. It's a one of a kind place to visit and a wonderful place to live.
The friendly towns combine the charm of the old South with modern living, making it a great place to raise a family or retire. The lifestyle is slow paced. People actually take time to talk to their neighbors but the area also has an active cultural life, with concerts, art galleries, community theater, festivals, and fine restaurants.
Fairhope is best known for its romantic, sweeping views of Mobile Bay and the storybook charm of its shops and flowers. But its captivating beauty doesn't just lie on the surface. When you explore what is at the heart of the town, you can more fully appreciate its true character.
The town's founders, proponents of an economic experiment called "single tax," came from all over the U.S. looking for their utopia. They settled here in 1894 with "a fair hope of success" and a clear vision for the future. They set aside land as parks for all to enjoy, on the beautiful bluffs overlooking Mobile Bay, and in other places through town. Today, those early parks are part of the City of Fairhope's extensive parks system, and the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation still exists as a vital component of the community.
Fairhope's heritage as a resort community began soon after the town's founding, when wealthy Mobilians traveled here by Bayboat. Visitors came to Fairhope then for the same reasons they do today - pleasant climate, peaceful surroundings, and inspiring scenery. There has been a grand southern resort on the site of today's Marriott Grand Hotel in nearby Point Clear since the early 1800s.
From the very beginning, Fairhope has attracted creative, cultivated, and freethinking people. Today as in years past, many artists, writers, and craftsmen call Fairhope home. Fairhope is also a city of volunteers - more than 70 percent of the city's residents report involvement in some type of volunteer work. Newcomers have always been welcomed in Fairhope. Come join us, and find out why Fairhope is special.
Fairhope and the surrounding area has been witness to many events in history. Native Americans came to the high bluffs overlooking the Bay for spiritual retreats; Spanish Conquistadors explored and settled the shoreline (evidenced by the nearby community of Spanish Fort); and the French established a stronghold in Mobile, just across the Bay, which celebrates its Tricentennial in 2002.
Fort Morgan, at the mouth of Mobile Bay, was first established in 1559. A wooden fort was built on the site in 1803 and in 1820 replaced by brick that was made in the Fairhope area in a brick plant that is still in operation today. One of the last major battles of the Civil War was fought at nearby Blakeley, and during the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864, Admiral Farragut gave his famous orders, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
Fairhope and the Eastern Shore remained somewhat isolated, accessible mainly by Bayboats, until the construction of the Causeway from Mobile in the 1920s. Some 50 years later, the completion of I-10 (just 10 miles north of Fairhope) provided easy access to the rest of the Southeast. Today, major airports are just an hour away in Mobile or Pensacola; even the "Big Easy," New Orleans, is less than three hours away.

Mailplane Gives Gmail a Nice Lift
Dec 3, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Mailplane by Uncomplex is available for US$24.95 (Personal License), $39.95 (Family License) or $24.95 (Site License for 5 Users). Volume pricing is available for 5 or more users. You can test drive the app for 15 days for free.
Gmail may not be the prettiest email program in the world. Yahoo Mail is easier on the eye. Microsoft's Outlook online has a clean and modern appeal.
Nevertheless, many of us use Gmail -- warts and all -- so any app that adds utility to the Google offering can be worthwhile. Mailplane 3 is such an app.
The software has been around for six years, but its developers have given it a makeover in this latest edition.
That's not to say they've drifted away from the program's essential mission: enabling you to access your Gmail accounts without opening your Web browser.
With your browser closed, you can access Mailplane from the OS X dock or from an icon on the Apple toolbar. Clicking that icon displays a drop-down menu with the subject lines from your most recent Gmail messages.
In addition, Mailplane will automatically notify you when a new message arrives in your Gmail box.
Simple Authentication
When setting up Mailplane, the app asks you to give your Gmail account a local name, then fill in the address for the account and your Google password.
Since I use Google two-factor authentication, I expected Mailplane to choke when connecting to my Gmail account. When that happens, it means I have to go through the hassle of creating a new application password for whatever program I'm trying to use with Google.
To my surprise, that didn't happen with Mailplane. Instead, I received an access code on my mobile phone that I could plug into the app to connect to my Gmail account -- a much more convenient method of program activation.
Mailplane can handle multiple Gmail accounts, as well as any Google calendars associated with them. Each account and calendar appears as a tab on the app's interface.
When I tried to add a corporate account to Mailplane, however, it couldn't make the connection. It appears the program supports only consumer accounts.
Calendar Integration
The calendar feature is new and a welcome addition to the app. Moving from Gmail to Google Calendar by clicking tabs is very convenient. You could, of course, open Gmail in one tab and Calendar in another in a browser, but I've found Calendar's performance less than ideal in a browser -- even in Google's own Chrome browser. Calendar's performance in Mailplane is tip-top.
When you open Mailplane, it should look familiar to you. That's because its mail window mirrors your Gmail account, right down to your background photo.
Where Mailplane departs from Gmail is at the top of the app's interface. There it contains the tabs for your accounts and calendars, as well as tools for going to and refreshing your in-box, common email functions -- new, reply, forward, send and trash, and icons for contacts and checking recent downloads.
Some of the tools' functionality leaves something to be desired. For example, the contact button is confusing. When it's clicked, a new message window appears, instead of a window into my address book, which seems like the intuitive choice to me.
The reply and forward tools don't seem to do anything. If you want to use those functions, you need to use the menu options provided by Gmail. Likewise, the trash button is a dud.
Plugin Power
Mailplane also now supports a number of Gmail plug-ins. For scheduling when email is sent and reminding you when email has been ignored by its target, there are Boomerang and Right Inbox.
Other supported plug-ins include Rapportive, which replaces the ads in the right sidebar with rich information about a contact you're writing to; Taskforce, for converting emails into tasks so you can move them out of your inbox; and AwayFind, which will send an SMS message to you when you receive an important message in your Gmail account.
With this latest version of Mailplane, its developers have improved the program, and in doing so made Gmail and Google Calendar more attractive to use. The app has its flaws, but they don't overwhelm the inherent utility of the program.
Freeware Spotlight
Parcel - Delivery tracking by Ivan Pavlov is available at the Mac App Store for free.
You can have any number of packages with tracking numbers that you dutifully check continuously as they creep through the arteries of the nation's transportation system. That task can be tedious, but it becomes less so with Parcel.
Parcel will display tracking information in a single place. That voids the need to go hunting through emails every time you want to check on a package's tracking number. It will also update a package's progress so you don't have to.
The app works for some 200 delivery services and with the app's ability to automatically recognize carriers, adding packages is a cinch.
In this free version, only three shipments can be tracked simultaneously. If you need more shipments tracked and want push notifications when there's a change in shipping status, you'll need to pony up $1.99 for an annual subscription for the premium version of the program.

THURSDAY, Jan. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Two-thirds of driving-age American teens with a high-functioning autism spectrum disorder are currently driving or plan to drive, and these teens have a number of common characteristics, a new study says.
People with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders, or HFASDs, have subtle impairments in social interaction, communication, motor skills and coordination. They also have difficulty regulating emotions.
Many of these skills are used when driving, noted the researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies.
"Little is known about how HFASDs affect a person's ability to drive safely," study lead author and developmental pediatrician Dr. Patty Huang said in a hospital news release.
"Over the past decade, the rate of children diagnosed with an HFASD has increased, meaning that more of those kids are now approaching driving age. Car crashes are the number one cause of death for teenagers, so it is important that we understand how HFASDs impact driving and how to develop appropriate educational and evaluation tools," she noted.
Huang and her colleagues surveyed nearly 300 parents of teens with HFASDs and identified a number of common characteristics among teens most likely to become drivers, including:
The study was published in the January issue of the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.
"It's very common for parents of kids with HFASDs to ask how they should handle learning to drive. Knowing these characteristics can help us prepare anticipatory guidance for families," Huang said. "In Pennsylvania, it's the law for teens to have a doctor's sign-off before they can get a learner's permit and that makes it easier to address driving-specific concerns. In states that don't have those laws, it's an issue that physicians should be prepared to address with their patients and their parents."

NaschyCast #29 - DEATH OF A HOODLUM (1975)
Episode #29 focuses on a lesser known Naschy crime film that turns out to have quite a bit in common with a couple of his other non-supernatural thrillers. Even with several familiar elements the film turns out to have more than a few surprises in store for us including some shocking slow-mo violence. I guess the influence of Peckinpah's THE WILD BUNCH was still playing out in the mid-1970s - and I have no problem with that!
In this one Naschy plays a hearing impaired thief with a nasty mother fixation and the sexual charisma of Sean Connery. I'm not kidding. His character seems to be able to have his way with almost any and every woman he sees- which isn't all that different from most characters he played, but in this story its a little scary. He's a cold bastard and the film's violence always stems from the relentless nature of his drive to get what he wants.
The film boasts good direction from our old friend Leon Klimovsky, Julia Saly in a red bikini and an excellent performance from actress Carmen Sevilla. The performances are actually very good in every case in this one. DEATH OF A HOODLUM is a pretty good combination of crime tale and domestic drama with just a twisted touch of a distressing coming of age story. Its a strange stew but in general it works so join us as we talk our way through it discussing all points large and small.
You can write us at firstname.lastname@example.com to give us your thoughts on all things Naschy or Spanish Horror in general. If you don't want us to include your email as part of the show please be sure to let us know. You can also find us over on The FaceBook at the NaschyCast Fan Page as well so there really is no excuse not to contact us!

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Recent invention: What's behind the baby's crawl
A. They crawl. In a key study of Bangladesh children, anthropologist David Tracer concluded that crawling significantly increases the risk from contact with ground pathogens, such as those causing diarrhea, says Kate Wong in Scientific American. The risk from predators also becomes much greater during crawling. Tracer contends "the crawling stage is a recent invention– one that emerged only within the past century or two, after humans began living in elevated houses with flooring, which would have been more hygienic than dirt."
Amazingly, babies of the Au hunter-gatherers of Papua New Guinea skip the crawling stage altogether. Instead, parents carry them everywhere– without any apparent ill effects. Tracer found that babies were carried upright in a sling 80 to 90 percent of the time, and on those rare occasions when mothers put them on the ground, they were propped up in a sitting position rather than placed on their stomachs. As a result, Au kids never learn to crawl, though they do go through a "scooting" phase of energetic "bottom-sliding."
And Au kids are not alone. It's the same in other traditional societies, such as in Paraguay, Indonesia, and Mali. Anthropologist Wenda Trevathan agrees that babies were probably rarely placed on the ground in the past and stresses how easily we can fall into the mythology of judging all human infants based on Western cultures.
Q. Have you committed "lactomangulation" in your time? Yes or no, you can thank comedian Rich Hall for the term. –L. Pasteur
A. The multinational company Tetra Pak revolutionized the food and drink industry with its unique carton production in the 1940s, says Jack Challoner in 1000 Inventions that Changed the World. Work began in 1943 to
develop a new storage medium for milk, previously sold only in glass bottles, in hopes of providing a hygienic container using minimal materials. The challenge for many consumers, however, was getting the boldly geometrical new container to open for pouring and then to close again (and again) without getting lactomangulated. Enter Rich Hall with his zany term for "manhandling the 'open here' spout on a milk carton so badly that one has to resort to using the 'illegal side.'"
Proving once again that our highly linguistic species can find the joke in almost anything.
Q. Who's the 16th-century diplomat and scholar many folks have lit up for pleasure– eponymously, at any rate? –G. Chaucer
A. Frenchman Jean Nicot de Villemain (1530-1600), whose name became an eponym for nicotine after he introduced the substance into France, says David Crystal in The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language. Eponyms are personal names used to form new general words, including also the following:
VOLT: the unit of electrical potential difference and electromotive force, from Italian physicist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), inventor of the electric battery
CARDIGAN: knitted jacket fastened with buttons, from English cavalry officer James Brudenell, seventh Earl of Cardigan (1797-1868)
MAVERICK: an independent person who refuses to conform, after U.S. pioneer Samuel Augustus Maverick (1803-1870), who did it his way by not branding his calves
TEDDY BEAR: soft toy bear, from U.S. president Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt (1858-1919), after a cartoon depicted this well-known bear-hunter sparing the life of a cub.

Album Description
I want it to feel like a troubled night walk of self-reflection that blossoms into realization.
This album isn't for you so much as it is for me. I needed a way to document my circular thought process. Around and around until I stumbled upon developments. It's not for everybody but it's what I felt in my head when I thought about you for so long after that night. Nature surrounded me almost perfectly as this unfolded; you left me in the rain and by the time that storm ended I had found myself again. With this piece I want to remember who I was and how I got here. However fragile we were and unfit for each other, I gained so much insight into who I am from what was us. With your inadvertent help I've entered a state of definity. This is my journey to that place.

These days and times are trife for Black women. You will rarely hear
me speak from the stance of victim-hood, as i try my hardest to keep
agency on mines.
My rationale is that as long as you are reactionary, someone else
will always be setting your agenda and you will not gain any sustainable
However the skin issues, sexual access issues have been on
my bird lately. The sexual access issues arose at the Spinna
Party on Saturday. I was standing with Filthy near the bar debating how
long it is going to take Spinna to play Shook Ones or Who Got the Props.
There were two clusters of white women there. In each group
there was one women wearing a veil. They were toasted.
Light-weight Girls Gone Wild toasted.
For the past six or seven years, New York City clubs have been making
extra cake by throwing bachelor/ette parties earlier in the
evening from 8-11pm with the regular party running from 11-3am.
However there tends to be carry over, which is what I think happened
Saturday. My homie K-boogie confirmed this later that night as she
went to a bachelor party at the same spot last week.
So, I am standing there, minding my own business and a woman walks
by me to order a drink. She apparently was a bachelor/ette party
attendee, stripper or both. Either way she was lit, blond, and hootered out.
The first time she passed me she complemented my earrings.
(My earing game is mean.)
Second time she rubbed passed.
The third time, I was leaning over talking to Filth, so his ear
was toward me, and she kissed me near my other ear. I was Frozen like a Robot.
Then she turned to me and said something inaudible.
Filthy caught on and was like awwwww sh*t. Here we go.
What went through my mind both how patriarchal that shit is and
how the club is a space for people to try and do what they think
about doing in the streets. I was reminded of a post that I came
across when I wrote the Mobb Deep and Patriarchy piece I wrote a month ago.
The piece is titled Dance Floor Studies Feminism and Booty Base.
The comment by Benjamin Mako Hill caught my attention
because he articulated the notion of sexual access and the role that the
club plays. He writes,
Back to what was running in my head. That good old fight or flight.
Booty bass is not just playing around with the idea of the dance floor being highly sexualized. In practice, it's about serving the sex market and all about glamorizing and making palatable, laughable, and perhaps even justifiable everything that happens in that market.
Sometimes it's not just about making fun of, toying with, or hinting at sexual domination in a safe context like the dancefloor but about creating, quite literally, a soundtrack for the real thing.
I didn't want no war with her. The Oakland in me says put my elbow in her throat.
The Martin in me know that this will solve nothing. That I will be charged with
assault and battery. It just gets real tiring to be constantly defending your body
and your space against strangers, against both men and women, who presume
that they have access to your body. I don't know where she as been and I
am paranoid. Herpes is the package that keeps on giving, don't touch me.
1 in 4 people in New York city has it. Don't touch me.
I asked him why did she do that? He responded simply , "Patriarchy".
She probably thinks that its cute and she enjoy's being the aggressor.
I responded saying, "if that was a dude, I wouldn't have though
twice about turning his skin purple or shoving him off of me, and
letting it do what it do". The woman played off her femininity and
the likelihood that she would get away with it, because she was
a woman and not a man. Alcohol played a role as well.
Then I thought, why should I give her a pass? Its the behavior,
not the gender that matters.
She is just as bad as the Black men on the street that treat
me like property.
Bringing bell hooks to the Spinna party is not what the streets
Which brings me to the skin issues. Last night I listened to Phonte's
podcast and he has a segment called the Light Bright
list. What he meant was "Light Bright and Damn Near White" as my
momma would say. The Light Bright list is a list of light skinned Black women
that he finds attractive. In the podcast he went down the line naming the
greatest light skinned Black women ever, Lena Horn, Jennifer Beals, etc.
I am yellowish-red, and more copper in the summer time. As you will see
in the video above that skin color shit is no joke for Black people. Especially
the children. The whole time I am listening to Phonte, I am thinking about
the little black girl, at 4:30sec, who said that the black doll is the ugly doll,
then when asked which doll does she look like, she hesitates, and
reluctantly choose the black one.
That shit was heart breaking.
While I haven't recovered from the "black doll is ugly" and the "light bright
list" the Michelle Obama ain't feminine shit came to my attention. Recently,
feminist were in arms over Hillary being portrayed as a "ball buster",
"masculine" and un-lady like.
It wasn't clear to me how this related to Michelle, so I asked Filthy
why. He responded saying that, Hillary was being called masculine,
and the feminists came to her defense.
So the question is where is the defense of Michelle Obama
when the same criticism are being lodged at her?
I immediately thought of Phonte's list and the video with the inference
being drawn from that dark equals ugly, and presumably
Can you imagine the kind of Black Girl Fatigue this shit produces?
The skin issues, the sexual access issues are enough to make a
Black Girl Consider Homicide when Patriarchy is Enough.

Welcome to the 47th Annual ESDR Meeting 2017
Julien Seneschal
Clinical Saturday Lecture
Date: Saturday 30 September 2017
Time: 13.10-13.40
Room: Europa Hall
Lecture Title: Vitiligo: From Pathogenesis to New Therapeutic Targets
Julien Seneschal is Professor of Dermatology at the University Hospital of Bordeaux, France, National Reference Center for Rare Skin disorders. His research career started in immunology in Bordeaux, where he studied the innate immune response and the role of activated platelets in the promotion of Type I Interferon (IFN) response in systemic lupus disease. During his post-doctoral fellowship at the Harvard Skin Disease Research Center (Boston, USA) under the direction of Professor Thomas Kupper, he was at the core of a research program dedicated to the newly described population of antigen experienced T cells known as Resident Memory T cells (TRM). He discovered that at steady state and in the absence of inflammation, epidermal Langerhans Cells (LC) appear to constitutively activate skin resident regulatory T cells, while when inflammation and antigen are present, LC can activate skin effector TRM. He then created with his colleague Dr Katia Boniface, the immuno-dermatology laboratory in Bordeaux, INSERM U1035, supported by the ATIP-AVENIR program. His research is now focused on understanding the immune pathomechanisms involved in the process leading to melanocyte loss in Vitiligo as well as depigmentation associated with inflammation or the use of immune-checkpoints therapies. He identified the role of type I IFN in the initiation of the immune response in Vitiligo and the impact of excessive production of the molecular chaperone HSP70 in the enhancement of this response, leading to the release of chemokines ligands (CXCL9 and CXCL10) important for the recruitment of CXCR3+ CD8 T Cells. His team is characterizing the phenotype and function of TRM in vitiligo and their role in the loss of melanocytes. The goal is to define new therapeutic targets in vitiligo for the development of more effective treatments to improve this disabling condition with high unmet needs.

Dominion Lending Centres Key Financial (http://www.keyfinance.ca)
We are a mortgage brokerage company that is part of the Dominion Lending Franchise network (http://www.dominionlending.ca) Canada's premier Mortgage Brokering firm. We have many agents that work with us and we want to start branding our own company name in conjunction with our Dominion identity. As a mortgage brokerage our real client is the agent and not really the mortgage consumer. We are very focused on training and providing service to the agent. Our company is 2 years old and has 3 principle people. A broker for the mortgage technical stuff, a trainer for the ongoing training, and a business person to help teach the agents to run their business like a business.
Our target audience for agents is the newer agent to the market of mortgage brokering. Our agents come from all walks of life and back grounds. Generally though we would hire a person with above average desire to succeed and someone not satisfied with an average income. Most of our agents are married to highly successful people and are used to the finer things. As far as our mortgage customers go we are a full service mortgage brokerage house and we provide home financing and refinancing solutions to every demographic. Moving to a higher end client would be a great thing but at present we get all types of clients from all credit ranges.
We are looking for something simple that lends itself well to t-shirts, coffee cups, web pages etc. But highly professional. You could use the Key theme or the initials, I like the slogan "Unlocking your Dreams" or something similar to that. It kind of ties in with the home, the Key and the career aspects as well. But not stuck on it, if it doesn't work that is fine too. I like the colors that Telus uses (www.telus.com blue and green) Our company is Key Financial. We are a franchise of Dominion Lending Centres but we want to start branding our own name for future marketing projects. If you look at my personal web page http://www.keyfinance.ca you will see that I have the Dominion logo at the bottom and at the top I have the words Key Financial, I would prefer to have a proper logo. We want to build our own web page and want to be able to brand it with our own logo and the Dominion Logo as a secondary thing.
Our product is really providing agents with a great place to be associated with, but home financing is the business that we are really in. I hope this gives you something interesting and fun to work with. We are serious about our business but we are about fun and family as well.
Good Luck.

There is nothing else like the 2017 Chevrolet Volt.
Imagine: A daily commute without a drop of gas. The extended-range electric car is no longer just a dream. Chevrolet has put tremendous design and engineering resources in place to make this vehicle a reality. The Chevy Volt is a precision-engineered electric car that can also use gas (but only if you need it). Electricity is an extremely affordable way to power a car—the average American pays less than 12 cents per kilowatt hour. With a fully charged battery, Volt can drive for an initial electric range of 38 miles—totally gas- and tailpipe emissions- free. That means most commutes would have an average cost of about $1.60 a day for electricity. That's about the same annual cost as running a common household appliance. Do more. Use less. Contact us today to find out how.

Chevrolet Volt Wins Consumer Guide Automotive's "Best Buy" Accolades
The automotive experts at Consumer Guide Automotive have recognized the 2013 Chevy Volt with its prestigious "Best Buy" Award for 'Electric Cars'
The "Best Buy" Award is Consumer Guide Automotive's highest accolade. "[A] 'Best Buy' represents the very best balance of attributes within its class," says Consumer Guide Automotive. Factors considered include a vehicle's value, features, accommodations and performance.
In winning Consumer Guide Automotive's newest award, Chevy Volt was recognized for its technological excellence. "It adeptly blends the benefits of electric-only driving while providing a gasoline engine to eliminate the 'range anxiety' associated with cars that run only on batteries."
The Consumer Guide "Best Buy" Award is just the latest accolade for Chevy Volt, which is already the best-selling rechargeable car this year.

Clothing designer Anne Beard dreams up and sews together unique western wear. She uses silk from Thailand and India as well as the more traditional gaberdine, and embroiders or appliques patterns of stars, horseshoes, cowgirls and buffalo herself. Beard grew up on a ranch and her husband's family supplies bulls to rodeos, and she says ideas come to her easily. But one of her creations can take weeks or even months to put together.

A few days ago I noticed that NFS performance between a web server node and NFS server went down by 50%. NFS was optimized and the only thing was updated Red Hat kernel v5.2. I also noticed same trend on CentOS 5.2 64 bit edition.
NFS server crashed each and every time web server node tried to store a large file 20-100 MB each. Read performance was fine but write performance went to hell. Finally, I had to rollback the updates. Recently, while reading Red Hat site I came across the solution.
Updated kernel packages that fix various security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5:
* a 50-75% drop in NFS server rewrite performance, compared to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 4.6, has been resolved.
After upgrading kernel on both server and client my issue resolved:
# yum update

The 23rd annual Athletic Business Conference and Expo is set for Nov. 10-13 at the Orange County Convention Center in sunny Orlando, FL. The conference will have the usual three days of buying, selling and learning, featuring about 300 exhibitors and 3,000 attendees.
This year, keynote speakers include a notable group, including baseball hall-of-famer Cal Ripken Jr., former Navy Commander D. Michael Abrashoff and the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team Captain Mike Eruzione.
Baseball's Iron Man will talk about his record-breaking career and how those "Keys to Success" on the baseball field also apply to the business world. Abrashoff, former commander of the Navy's $1 billion USS Benfold, will offer a keynote session entitled "It's Your Ship" that will talk about how to create an organization where every person takes ownership and responsibility for organizational success. His session's inspiration comes from his book, It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy. The Facility of Merit Awards Ceremony will feature guest speaker Eruzione, the hockey team captain that beat all odds and captained the U.S. hockey team to the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics. He will present "Going for the Gold." He is currently the director of development for athletics at Boston University.
More than 75 seminars will be offered during the conference including those on aquatic programming and management; programming, marketing and customer service; military fitness; new managers and supervisors; facility management and operations; leadership, people management and personal development; financial and risk management; youth sports administration; and facility design and construction.
In conjunction with the Athletic Business Conference, the International Council on Active Aging (ICAA) will for the second year hold its conference, "Active Aging 2004: Catching the Wave." The conference will educate professionals in the fitness, recreation, retirement, assisted living, rehabilitation and wellness fields who are working with a 50-plus demographic. All Athletic Business registrants can attend any of the ICAA's 36 seminars for free. Seminar topics range from biomechanics to tai chi to addressing psychosocial barriers in older adults' participation in physical activity.
New for this year is the Medical Fitness Association's (MFA) 10th Anniversary Conference in conjunction with the Athletic Business Conference. The conference, "Celebrating the Medical Fitness Difference," will focus on hospital/clinical fitness and wellness, and will include seminars, special events, facility tours and an Industry Awards Ceremony. Athletic Business and ICAA registrants can attend MFA seminars for $35 each.
