The Weekend Rent: The 'Lord' of Hillbilly Horror, Rob Zombie
"The Weekend Rent offers quick-hit suggestions of what to watch at home to get psyched for new releases in theaters, on Friday."
Whether you love or hate Rob Zombie's movies, you have to admire his unwavering commitment to an aesthetic, namely hillbilly horror and what one might call white trashploitation. The metal singer turned horror auteur is seemingly obsessed with dirty, long-haired, foul-mouthed rednecks with social-maladjustment issues that seem to populate all of his flicks. His latest film The Lords of Salem opens in limited release this week and is about an ancient coven of witches that return to Salem, Massachusetts once a mysterious record is played backwards at a radio station. As you can see from the picture above, Zombie hasn't deviated from his favorite look.
Zombie has four other films available on home video, so let's take a stroll down the hillbilly-horror highway and examine the roadkill. Warning: it ain't gonna be pretty.
In House of 1,000 Corpses, two young couples on a road trip go off looking for a local legend and instead discover a disturbingly functional family of complete psychopaths. If you're thinking Otis, the guy in this photo with the white makeup and cross on his head, looks pretty similar to the picture above from The Lords of Salem, well, you're onto something.
The Devil's Rejects is the sequel to House of 1,000 Corpses, and Baby, Captain Spaulding (seen here sans the clown makeup) and Otis aren't going down without a fight. Conveniently setting the movie in the '70s gives Zombie free license to explore the bloody, psycho-hippie look that permeates all of his films.
Zombie's remake of John Carpenter's Halloween really divided horror fans. On one hand, it's very violent and made Michael Myers scary again. But wasn't the original Halloween scarier because it was set in a believable small town where mass murders don't usually happen? Zombie's Haddonfield is populated by nothing except white trash… except for poor Dee Wallace, who, as Laurie Strode's mother, plays the only wholesome character in this cesspool version of the fictional Illinois town. Note that Michael Myers, pictured here with a pumpkin mask, basically looks like a bulkier Rob Zombie with a pumpkin mask.
If Halloween proved divisive, Halloween II really tested fans' patience with its bizarre hallucinatory sequences of white horses and an ethereal-looking Sheri Moon Zombie that seemed more Hellraiser or A Nightmare on Elm Street than Halloween. In this sequel, Michael Myers runs around without a mask for most of the movie (see below), and—big surprise—he looks like Rob Zombie on steroids (except for the bloody knife, which we're just going to give Zombie the benefit of the doubt about). It's almost like Zombie sees all of these characters as some extension of himself, which is the scariest thought of all.
All of the movies listed above are available on DVD and Blu-ray as well as VOD services.

A harsh desert world orbiting twin suns in the galaxy's Outer Rim, Tatooine is a lawless place ruled by Hutt gangsters. Many settlers scratch out a living on moisture farms, while spaceport cities such as Mos Eisley and Mos Espa serve as home base for smugglers, criminals, and other rogues. Tatooine's many dangers include sandstorms, bands of savage Tusken Raiders, and carnivorous krayt dragons. The planet is also known for its dangerous Podraces, rampant gambling, and legalized slavery. Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker both grew up on Tatooine, and Obi-Wan Kenobi spent years in hiding on this desolate world.
- Hot,
- Canyons,
- Deserts,
- Mesas,
Tatooine is a bleak planet with little to recommend it except its location at a juncture of important Outer Rim trade routes. The Hutts controlled the planet during the final years of the Republic, operating beyond the reach of galactic law. Slaves were common sights in the slums of cities such as Mos Espa, kept obedient by implanted chips planted that could be remotely detonated in case of an escape attempt.
Two such slaves were Shmi Skywalker and her son Anakin, both owned by the Toydarian junk dealer Watto. Anakin grew up repairing machinery in Watto's shop while dreaming of escaping his master's clutches and seeing the galaxy. He got his chance when the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn visited the shop seeking parts for a damaged hyperdrive. Qui-Gon manipulated Watto into betting on a Podrace, a dangerous spectator sport beloved by the Hutts and their vassals. Anakin won the Podrace and his freedom, leaving Tatooine with Qui-Gon.
While Anakin was no longer a slave, his mother Shmi hadn't been freed, and her fate haunted Anakin while he learned the ways of the Jedi under the tutelage of Obi-Wan. Ten years after he left Tatooine, Anakin dreamt repeatedly that Shmi was in peril. He returned to the desert planet, where he learned that a moisture farmer named Cliegg Lars had bought Shmi from Watto and then married her.
Anakin traveled to the Lars moisture farm, where he met Cliegg, his son Owen, and Owen's girlfriend Beru Whitesun. But Shmi had been captured by Tusken Raiders a month before. Anakin found his mother held captive in a Tusken camp, where she died in his arms. Overcome by rage and pain, Anakin slaughtered the Tuskens, beginning his fall to the dark side of the Force. After the death of Padmé Amidala in childbirth, Obi-Wan brought the newborn Luke Skywalker to the Lars farm, where Owen and Beru agreed to raise him. Obi-Wan then settled on the edge of the Dune Sea, watching over the boy from afar.
After combining Jedi and Sith holocrons, rebel Ezra Bridger and the former Sith, Maul, discovered that Obi-Wan Kenobi was still alive -- and on Tatooine. While Bridger sought a way to destroy the Sith, Maul wanted his final revenge, and manipulated Ezra into drawing Kenobi out. Finally, Maul confronted his hated enemy in the dead of night on the planet's sands. He attacked ferociously, but the Jedi ended their duel with one swift strike.
Nearly two decades after the fall of the Republic, Tatooine was once again the site of pivotal events in galactic history. Princess Leia Organa fled to the planet with the stolen plans for the Death Star, intending to find Obi-Wan and bring him to Alderaan to join the struggle against the Empire. Leia's mission failed when Darth Vader's Star Destroyer seized her ship in orbit above Tatooine. Knowing she'd be captured, Leia fed the Death Star plans into R2-D2's memory banks and told the astromech to find Obi-Wan. Artoo and his companion C-3PO blasted off from Leia's ship in an escape pod, landing in the desert. Vader then sent a detachment of stormtroopers down to Tatooine to locate the plans.
Jawa scavengers found the droids and sold them to Owen Lars. Artoo tricked Luke Skywalker into removing his restraining bolt, then set off across the desert in search of Obi-Wan. After Luke and C-3PO tracked the droid down, Obi-Wan saved them from a band of Tusken Raiders. While Luke and Threepio were hunting for Artoo, Vader's stormtroopers located the Jawas and learned to whom the robots had been sold. The troopers killed the Jawas as well as Owen and Beru. Obi-Wan and Luke then took the droids to Mos Eisley, where they hired Han Solo and Chewbacca to transport them to Alderaan.
Years later, Luke returned to Tatooine after the bounty hunter Boba Fett captured Han and turned him over to Jabba the Hutt. Jabba kept the smuggler encased in carbonite, displaying him on the wall of his throne room as a macabre decoration. Leia freed Han from the carbonite, but Jabba sentenced Han, Luke, and Chewbacca to death.
Jabba's favorite method of execution was to cast captives into the mouth of the Sarlacc, a tentacled monster dwelling in a pit in the Dune Sea. With the help of R2-D2 and Lando Calrissian, Luke turned the tables on Jabba, freeing his friends. Leia strangled the Hutt crime lord, and the band of Rebel heroes escaped Tatooine.

Luke Skywalker
Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith. A generation later, the location of the famed Jedi master was one of the galaxy's greatest mysteries. Haunted by Ben Solo's fall to evil and convinced the Jedi had to end, Luke sought exile on a distant world, ignoring the galaxy's pleas for help. But his solitude would be interrupted – and Luke Skywalker had one final, momentous role to play in the struggle between good and evil.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Jabba the Hutt
Jabba the Hutt was one of the galaxy's most powerful gangsters, with far-reaching influence in both politics and the criminal underworld. There were no second chances with Jabba, something Han Solo would find out -- though the slug-like alien would ultimately fall victim to his own hubris and vengeful ways.
Lars Moisture Farm
Two generations of the Lars family sought to make a living on this hardscrabble moisture farm on Tatooine, contending not just with the planet's hot and arid conditions but also with vicious bands of Tusken Raiders. Anakin Skywalker visited the farm in search of his mother Shmi, who'd married Cliegg Lars but been kidnapped by Tuskens. Later, Luke Skywalker grew up there, raised by Cliegg's son Owen and his wife Beru while Obi-Wan Kenobi kept watch from afar. Imperial stormtroopers searching for R2-D2 and C-3PO burned the homestead and murdered Owen and Beru, leaving Luke determined to learn the ways of the Jedi and fight the Empire.
Mos Espa
Mos Espa is one of few port cities on Tatooine. Domed buildings protect the citizens against the glare of the twin suns and the scorching heat. Among the dwellings, workspaces, and commercial operations of many bizarre kinds there are also entertainment areas, including some of colossal scale. The famed Mos Espa Grand Arena can hold an audience almost as large as the city's entire population. In the time of the Republic, slavery persisted in Mos Espa, though the despicable trade was outlawed elsewhere. The true powers in control of Mos Espa were the Hutt gangsters, who found slavery a useful institution.

I don't know of anything else to try, except CIO, which I can't do. I wish there was an answer, I am very desperate for one, that's why I am trying to find out if anyone has thought of something I haven't. Thanks for your advice though :-)
I don't know of anything else to try, except CIO, which I can't do. I wish there was an answer, I am very desperate for one, that's why I am trying to find out if anyone has thought of something I haven't. Thanks for your advice though :-)
And what exactly are you doing all day and what time do you get up?My husband can't help at night because he needs to sleep to get up for work at 6am.
Look, I get it. With my oldest, I would creep out of bed when I heard baby stir (we were not bedsharing at first, discovered it later) and tiptoe into another room so as not to disturb my husband because he had a demanding job, and I was "just a mom." But finally this was not sustainable. I asked for his help, and he was glad to give it. It meant a tiny bit less sleep for him and a happy wife.
If your husband will/can not help, can you bring in a friend or family member a couple nights a week who will?
Hubby's out of the question, and I don't have my family nearby, as we moved recently, so haven't made any real connections yet....
I can get my breast out sometimes without him stirring, but he usually wakes up shortly after crying again for my breast, it's the only way he can get back to sleep.
It sounds like baby won't take a pacifier and only wants you at this point. I know it is both tiring and worrisome to you...but it's very normal! I used to get pretty distraught as well, but once I realized this is what most breastfed babies do, I felt a lot better about dealing with it.
My baby is very similar to yours. Usually I have to nurse her back to sleep 4-5 or more times a night. Sometimes much more. (we bedshare)
I understand that your husband has to work, but if you can't function couldn't he help a few nights per week, especially on a weekend night if he's not working? Did he say explicitly that he wouldn't? If not, I would definitely ask. Taking care of a baby and an older child all day is just as tiring as a job where you'd leave the house, it's more like 2 or 3 full time jobs rolled into one! What if he just took baby for an hour or two a few nights per week in the middle of the night if baby is up?
does baby like movement? My baby will sleep if my husband walks her around, sometimes. She used to sleep in her baby swing a little bit, but not so much anymore.
and Mama to two little girls
Have you read The No Cry Sleep Solution by Elizabeth Pantley? She has many tips for dealing with nighttime parenting that do not involve cry it out. It is not a system or schedule. Just ideas.
You know, I am having insomnia these days; my husband has been out of work for months, so I am worried. Usually I can sleep right through my baby daughter nursing but these days, if she wakes me, or I wake for any other reason, I may be up for hours. Have you considered if your inability to sleep while co-sleeping, or during the day, even when you are exhausted, is related to anxiety or depression? It can be really hard to be raising a baby and a teenager without the close support of your family nor (it sounds like) enough assistance from your husband.
What time do you go to bed? My baby tends to sleep better in the early part of the night, so when I am struggling with not enough sleep I make myself (it is hard) go to bed "early."
i went to bed around 8 pm for my DS's entire first year, and spent about 12 hours in bed every night, the same hours he was there. as he got older i started to be able to either sneak away a little in the first sleep session (what a miracle that was!) and/or to sleep so much better that i could stay up and do computer work or watch tv (with headphones) for the first hour or two.
what about having your 13 yo try to put baby down for a nap in a carrier or sling? that's how many babies sleep, and would at least give you a break to relax.
ps - i didn't mean to sound snarky before, it's just, people had given you lots of suggestions and it seemed you were dismissing them all out of hand. obviously none of us live your life so we don't know what you've tried or what your routine/family is like; sometimes if you have a gut feeling about what might help, but can't figure out how to implement it, we can help you brainstorm.
Nursing, pumping, cloth-diapering, babywearing, working professor mama with the awesomest SAHD ever.
IME the only real solution is time. Like auderey said above, ds also naturally just began sleeping deeper and longer between 8 mo-1 yo. I always went to bed early with him and napped with him. I know you have the thirteen yo also and it's likely she hasn't made a lot of friends yet either but if she has, can she spend one or two afternoons a week at a friends to give you time. Is there a sport or summer camp in your area she'd be willing to attend? I understand if she's not able to put baby to sleep. Ds has never allowed anyone else to put him to sleep either. Trying always made him so worked up that it ended up being double the work for me to calm him.
I was looking into that book, maybe I'll get it. And who knows maybe I do struggle with some depression and anxiety too. I usually go to bed when Joshua goes to bed until he gets up in the morning. No worries Audrey, I understand, I am not offended...Sometimes it's hard to communicate properly on here. What did you do for nap time? Zaynethepain-Thanks for sharing your story, I guess I might have to just wait it out...is it normal that he wants to suck even while asleep?? That's really the only thing that is difficult.
It is normal for baby to want to suck while asleep, yes. My girl is eight months old, and is definitely a latched-on kind of sleeper, too. I had a lot of trouble sleeping through that at first, but have gotten much better at it with time. I definitely go to bed with the baby and stay in bed with her all night to maximize my sleep. Also, I found that the more I stressed about my sleep, the worse it actually was, so I eliminated all clocks from my room. Once I stopped keeping track of how long I was awake overnight, I was sleeping better.
Can your husband at least watch the kids for a couple hours on the weekend to help you catch a nap? When baby is awake and not hungry, of course! It might help just to get a couple of hours of unlatched sleep! Hang in there.

Luis Figo has called on Wesley Sneijder and Inter to resolve their ongoing contractual dispute before it begins to impact negatively on the side's fortunes.
The Dutch playmaker's refusal to accept a both a wage cut and extension is widely understood to be reason behind his prolonged exile from the Nerazzurri first team, despite his lack of fitness.
"Seeing a situation like this is difficult for the team and for the player. Hopefully it will be resolved in the best way possible," he told reporters.
"Then in February he can help the team move forward. But all that depends on the choice made by the coach."
The Italians were pitted against Cluj in the draw for the first knock-out stage of the Europa League, and Figo believes the Champions League dropouts pose his side an unpredictable threat.
"We do not know if this is a favourable draw or not," the former World Player of the Year added. "We will only know that if we win. Cluj were in the Champions League and are the champions of their country.
"They have similarities to Rubin Kazan, but I believe we can deal with their strengths."

State regulators target Edward Jones for $3m fine over 'No Call Registry' violations
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
NH tops on 'Do Not Call' Registry
CONCORD — Securities regulators are seeking a $3 million fine from Edward Jones investment advisors, after a two-year investigation into the financial services firm revealed what state officials called widespread violations of the national Do Not Call Registry.
Investigators in the Bureau of Securities Regulation claim that from January 2011 to March 2012, the company, with 58 branch offices in New Hampshire, made approximately 20,000 calls to numbers on the registry. Each call is subject to a $2,500 maximum fine.
In addition to the fine, bureau attorneys are calling on the director to suspend the company's broker license for a period yet to be determined; pay investigative costs; and enter into a compliance program with mandatory reporting back to the bureau.
An Edward Jones spokeswoman said the company would contest the charges in an administrative hearing.
Door-to-door approach
The 24-page petition for relief filed on Thursday alleges that Edward Jones encouraged violations of the registry by advising agents to make door-to-door cold calls on prospective investors, and then classify those contacts as "established personal relationships" that would allow calls to numbers on the do-not-call list.
"Edward Jones has attempted to use the personal relationship exception to justify the vast majority of its questionable telemarketing practices," according to the petition, which also claims that, "EJ's supervisory procedures as they pertain to telemarketing appear to be not only insufficient but almost nonexistent."
The company operates more than 11,000 locations in the United States and Canada, and focuses on individual investors and small-business owners.
"Edward Jones regrets that the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation has chosen to file this action against the firm," said spokeswoman Regina DeLuca-Imral from company headquarters in St. Louis.
"Edward Jones has received no complaints and understands only a single complaint was made to New Hampshire regulators. According to the complaint, this person had a pre-existing business relationship with Edward Jones. But assuming that complaint is valid, we regret any inconvenience that telephone contact might have caused. Edward Jones believes it has meritorious defenses and we intend to vigorously defend our position."
Somersworth complaint
The investigation was triggered by a complaint to the bureau from an 80-year-old Somersworth woman who said she received an unsolicited call on Nov. 7, 2011, from an Edward Jones financial advisor. Each advisor maintains a separate office, explaining the total of 58 in the state.
During the call, the advisor allegedly attempted to sell the woman a tax-free municipal bond issued by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, promising her a 4.5 percent annual return on her investment, through 2031.
130,000 calls made
In March 2012, the bureau began requesting information from Edward Jones, and received a list of 130,000 calls made to New Hampshire phone numbers since January 2011, originating both from Edward Jones national headquarters in St. Louis, Mo., and from the company's New Hampshire branch offices.
"We counted close to 300 complaints against the firm since 2010 from across the country," said Jeff Spill, deputy director of the bureau. "It obviously was a red flag for us that there was a problem here, and that's why we dug further."

Problem: Random, top and bottom ads don't appear on syndicated posts.
By default FeedWordPress prevents the syndicated post contents from being passed to 'the_content' hook which is where the random, top and bottom ads are added. There's an easy fix:
From the FeedWordPress settings page go to 'Posts Links' and then in the 'Formatting' section set 'Formatting filters' to 'Expose syndicated posts to formatting filters'.Shortcodes Ultimate
Problem: Random ads don't show.
Reason: Shortcodes Ultimate disables the wpautop filter which adds the

 tags to the page. It re-applies this filter at a priority of 99 which is after Ad Injection has run. Therefore when Ad Injection runs it can't find any
 tags which it needs to position the random adverts.
Solution: Follow the below advice for the 'theme conflicts'.
Ad Injection (when injecting random ads) works by looking for the end paragraph tags (

). Some themes override the wpautop filter and set it to run after the plugins. This means that Ad Injection can't find the end paragraph tags, and so can't inject any random ads. If this happens try changing the the_content filter priority from the Advanced tab in the Ad Injection UI. Try values of 100, and if that doesn't work 200.
Themes which I know have this issue include 'Avenue', 'TheTravelTheme', 'Exciter Magazine', 'Vectors', and 'Canvas' from Woothemes.
The multi-user version of WordPress are not supported – yet, however I have heard that some people have got it to work when using the 'direct' insertion mode. I hope to make it work properly with multi-blog versions of WordPress in the future.
Either find the adinj_options and widget_adinj rows or use this query to help you:
SELECT * FROM [yourdb]_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%adinj%'
Then copy these two options to your new blogs by using phpMyAdmin on the new blogs. If you aren't using widgets then you can ignore the widget_adinj option, you need only the adinj_options value. You can use the 'Insert' tab on the new blog to do this.
It is the best Ad insertion plugin for WordPress and quite easy to use. But unfortunately, developer has abandoned this plugin. This plugin now needs some refreshment to fix problems caused by latest WordPress software updates.
Adding disable on mobile or desktop would be nice
I'm using AdInjection from a longtime. Whenever I'm using static ads its showing some blank line on each category. With adsense ads all goes fine.

I love this plugin as it doesn't enclose the ads in any unnecessary styling rubbish, it just shows that ads, and it's very configurable!
Hi, I am using this plugin and triumphal. Just want to know is there anything needs to change in wp-config.php file to use mfunc feature in Ad injection.
This plugin has been incredibly helpful and reliable. Thank you!

Our Health Library information does not replace the advice of a doctor. Please be advised that this information is made available to assist our patients to learn more about their health. Our providers may not see and/or treat all topics found herein.
This topic covers type 1 diabetes in children. For information about type 1 diabetes in adults and about preventing complications from type 1 diabetes, see the topic Type 1 Diabetes .
Type 1 diabetes develops when the pancreas stops making insulin . Your body needs insulin to let sugar (glucose) move from the blood into the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
Without insulin, the sugar cannot get into the cells to do its work. It stays in the blood instead. This can cause high blood sugar levels. A person has diabetes when the blood sugar is too high.
Your child can live a long, healthy life by learning to manage his or her diabetes. It will become a big part of your and your child's life.
You play a major role in helping your child take charge of his or her diabetes care. Let your child do as much of the care as possible. At the same time, give your child the support and guidance he or she needs.
The key to managing diabetes is to keep blood sugar levels in a target range. To do this, your child needs to take insulin, eat about the same amount of
Jerome C Rousseau Sequined RoundToe Pumps clearance fake clearance free shipping order cheap price free shipping finishline wide range of JYyJ4HB4B
at each meal, and exercise. Part of your child's daily routine also includes checking his or her blood sugar levels at certain times, as advised by your doctor.
The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely he or she is to have problems, such as diseases of the eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and kidneys. For some reason, children seem protected from these problems during childhood. But if your child can control his or her blood sugar levels every day, it may help prevent problems later on.
Even when you are careful and do all the right things, your child can have problems with low or high blood sugar. Teach your child to look for signs of low and high blood sugar and to know what to do if this happens.

They have great insight into what makes Melburnians sports fans tick and what it takes for a sports brand to connect with them. They have helped us then execute this insight across multi-channel campaigns."
CEO, Melbourne City F.C.
"We have an ongoing partnership with The Contenders and turn to them when we are facing branding challenges we can't solve. The Contenders have worked with us on a variety of strategic brand projects. They understand our business problems and work to develop solutions that show both creativity and experience."

Everyone we have spoken to loves the brand (and the product of course)."
Owner, JC's Quality Foods
"The Contenders ability to work at a business strategy level and importantly engage and build relationships with the Executive team has resulted in relaunching a new brand identity that is brave, strategically sound and critically differentiating in the cluttered charity market.

The Contenders were instrumental in navigating these challenges and ensuring such a successful result."

Group Sales Marketing Manager, Scandia

All of this delivered in a series of carefully staged steps in a timely manner."

We live in an age of continual transformation in advanced consumer economies. While we experience it through incremental changes, not big leaps, at its heart there are three enduring mega trends that are influencing how we live and also how we develop brand strategy.
Brands have always been created in response to the ethos of the people who founded them and the ideals of the consumers that they were created to serve. But what do you do then when consumers start to fall out of love with your brand?
It's instinctive to try new things, create new assets and activities for the brands which we manage, but the best thing you could do for your brand this year could be nothing.
From retailers to supermarkets to services, brands are under threat like never before due to a loss of control in a changing market.
Industry sectors are heading towards polarisation between lowest cost value at one end and experience rich value at the other.

Matt Cullen scored in both regulation and the shootout while playing in his 1,000th career game and Josh Harding denied both attempts in the extra session as the Minnesota Wild skated to a 5-4 home triumph over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.
Warren Peters netted his first goal of the season and Cal Clutterbuck and Nick Johnson also tallied for Minnesota, which snapped a three-game losing skid with just its second win in 13 games.
Wild star Devin Setoguchi was made a healthy scratch against his former team for disciplinary reasons, the team said.
Cullen gave the Wild a 4-2 advantage with 6:20 remaining in the third period after skating hard to the net. Antti Niemi made the initial save, but the puck caromed off his leg and just inside the post for his 11th goal of the season.
Logan Couture brought the Sharks within one after scoring on the doorstep. Patrick Marleau, who picked up his 800th career point with an assist on defenseman Dan Boyle's 5-on-3 goal, leveled the contest 22 seconds later after redirecting a centering feed from captain Joe Thornton.
In the shootout, Cullen's wrist shot was temporarily denied by Niemi, but the momentum carried the puck into the net. Captain Mikko Koivu also scored in the shootout, and Harding denied Michal Handzus with his glove and Ryane Clowe with his left pad to preserve the victory.
Defenseman Dan Boyle converted a 5-on-3 power play and Benn Ferriero also tallied for San Jose, which saw its four-game winning streak come to an end.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Chris Mackowski, associate professor of journalism and mass communication at St. Bonaventure University, has been selected to serve as the first-ever managing editor of Clockhouse Review, the literary journal of Goddard College.
Goddard, located in Plainfield, Vt., is launching Clockhouse Review this summer with support from the college's alumni-run Clockhouse Writers Conference.
"Goddard has the oldest low-residency Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programs for creative writing in the country," said publisher Tim Kenyon. "The program has continued to grow dramatically over the past few years, and the alumni wanted to help with that growth by launching the literary journal."
Clockhouse Review is an open-submission journal that will feature fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, playwriting, and graphic storytelling. Editorial teams select pieces through a blind judging process.
As managing editor, Mackowski works with Kenyon and a staff of 15 editors and readers, and he helps coordinate the journal's submission and selection process. Mackowski also oversees the journal's design and layout.
Mackowski earned his MFA from Goddard in 2001. Kenyon said Mackowski was picked as managing editor because "he has an editorial as well as a literary eye."
"St. Bonaventure's School of Journalism has an excellent reputation, so we knew Chris was coming from a strong editorial background. We knew he would be able to handle the nuts-and-bolts aspects of publication," Kenyon said. "As we've tried to find the right 'voice' for the journal — one that captures Goddard's eclectic spirit — Chris has been a big part of that. He's been really great at shaping and implementing our vision."
The first issue of Clockhouse Review will be available for order in July through the journal's website, www.clockhousereview.com.

The attack has been reported to Microsoft. It affects both versions 7740 and 7720 of Windows Phone 7.5. When I first read this, I was wondering whether hackers were just expanding their already-prodigious knowledge of malware aimed at Windows OSes, but it's worth noting that, in the lab at least, similar attacks have already been dealt with on iOS and Android. What this really portends is that the black hats and vandals are shifting their gaze to mobile, along with the rest of the computing industry.
I have no doubt that it will be fixed and a patch will be disseminated forthwith. The big question is, with two decades of cat-and-mouse between OS vendors and hackers under their belts, will the mobile platforms be relatively hardened compared to the worst times, when it seemed that new PCs were instantly infected the moment they connected to the net for the first time, or are exploits like this just a speedbump, and mobile platforms will remain largely uncompromised in the real world?

Laurence Freeman OSB, "Spirit," JESUS THE TEACHER WITHIN (New York: Continuum, 2000), pp. 186 87.
The joy of realizing the truth is the bliss of the Spirit. It erases the shame of all previous failures. Aware that this Spirit of truth is with us as a friend, we are better able to tolerate in others and in ourselves what has not yet reached fullness of being. . .Truth is tolerant because the Spirit is forgiving love. It allows the untrue to survive for the time being as a loving parent allows a child to make mistakes. Truth embraces rather than excommunicates its enemies.
It is made manifest after much distillation of experience. It is not an object or an answer to be stared at and preserved. [And] when there is no ego through which the truth has to pass, communication dilates into communion.
The Spirit is the egolessness, the boundless emptiness, of God. She therefore fills everything with her emptiness and contains "all the truth." Only emptiness can contain everything. Returning to us in the Spirit of truth, as friend and teacher, Jesus can therefore be both God and man, historical and cosmic, personal and universal. He is wave and particle, fully individuated, able to be his unique individual self and to be indivisible from everything. This makes his death, all death, meaningful and necessary.
In St John's gospel, the Resurrection and the sending of the Spirit are seen as a single event. On the evening of Easter Day Jesus came and stood among the disciples while they were huddled fearfully in a locked room. His first word to them was shalom. The rich Hebrew word for peace invoked the blessing of the harmony of all orders of being. Shalom flows directly from the Divine harmony which is the Spirit. To receive it is to share in that peace beyond all understanding. Jesus then breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.'
His breath, which carried his words into their minds and listening hearts, is a medium of the Spirit. Then he gave them the power to forgive sins. This power to forgive. . .is a charism of the Spirit because forgiveness removes the greatest of all obstacles to communication. It heals wounds, confesses the truth that sets us free, consoles pain, calms anger, dissolves resentment, achieves the reconciliation of enemies. Whoever knows the truth has the power to forgive. . .We learn through her effect on ourselves what the Spirit is: a friend who has no favorites and who liberates the power to love, to forgive endlessly. She is beyond observation but we recognize her by the traces of her silent, guiding, healing, consoling passage through our lives.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, a selection from Bede Griffiths OSB, THE NEW CREATION IN CHRIST: CHRISTIAN MEDITATION AND COMMUNITY (Springfield, IL: Templegate, 1994), p. 77.
The resurrection does not consist merely of the appearances of Jesus to his disciples after his death. Many think that these appearances in Galilee and Jerusalem are the resurrection. But they are simply to confirm the faith of the disciples. The real resurrection is the passing beyond the world altogether. It is Jesus' passage from this world to the Father. It was not an event in space and time, but the passage beyond space and time to the eternal, to reality. Jesus passed into reality. That is our starting point. It is into that world that we are invited to enter by meditation. We do not have to wait for physical death, but we can enter now into that eternal world. We have to go beyond the outer appearances of the senses and beyond the concepts of the mind, and open ourselves to the reality of Christ within, the Christ of the resurrection.

Hey man, good to hear from you!
Life is pretty good here in Soviet Cannuckastan: finished my undergrad degree, and i wasn't really sure what i wanted to do with my life, and i worked a couple temp jobs. The best one was for Elections Canada in an administrative position where i helped to organize the voting process in my local riding. And then after that it was pretty much a couple other office-assistant/monkey type positions at local businesses. It was boring stuff, but i had access to a computer, and the internet during work hours, so that made things a little easier.
Recently decided to hide myself away in an ivory tower, and was accepted into a grad program: and so i've just started my masters for political studies: it's a two year program, so it'll give me a little while to figure out what comes next. I start class this week; being back in a dorm room feels a little weird, but my classes all seem pretty interesting.
So, what's new with you?
Oh, and congrats on being able to see the band: they killed it when i saw them play last summer. And ill be expecting some great photos!
Hey; the Peace Corps sounds incredibly exciting! I actually looked into possibly joining a little while ago, but it turns out only Americans are allowed in. Eastern Europe would be an incredibly cool place to be; a buddy of mine travelled through there last year and had such an amazing experience. Plus, meeting up with some bbsers would be pretty rad.
Europe was a lot of fun and a good way to blow off some steam after my last semester. Almost got dragged into a bar fight in Barcelona, not to mention getting swarmed by prostitutes from time to time. Went to a beach there which also turned out to be clothing optional. Drunkenly stumbled into a live sex show in Amsterdam..... which was incredibly awkward/surreal beyond belief. To be honest, the best part of the trip was checking out all these historical sites that i had only read about in history class; like Versailles was exactly as i had pictured it.
It's been far too long: how's life?
happy birthday
Happy BDAY Birch, have a great day!!
Woah sorry for ridiculously late response. HDR adds a lot of the lighting effects, but Adobe Lightroom can enhance these further. I would definitely have a play around with HDR techniques and see if you get desired outcomes.
So, I have been trying to be less annoying and stay on topic?
How am I doing?
Found this the other day. A bit one-sided, but still a fun read: http://www.cracked.com/article_18442...ind-dicks.html
Hi, sorry for late response feels like I spend less and less time here on the BBS nowadays! I used to use a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, quite a standard point and shoot camera. However, last month I bought a Canon EOS 500D (EOS Rebel T1i in the States). Haven't got any new lenses for it yet, need to save up some cash! I can see this being a rather expensive hobby!

Fly smasher offers you a completely new way of enjoying a game as well as testing your retorting capability. The game consists of mainly 2 kinds of characters that have to be smashed in order to win the game.
Save your Food from Type "A" flies
The basic aim is to protect your food from the flies before they try to get away with it. You are given a total of 3 lives or chances in a single game. If you miss the flies, your food gets finished little by little and thus ends your life one by one.
Save your three Lives
Game starts with an offering of 3 lives and ends completely if you run out of these 3 lives. Your life depends on how fast you smash the type A flies. Stop these flies from getting away with your food as quickly as possible. Smashing the B type flies reduces your lives.
Tap to Kill these Type "A" flies
These flies are of 2 types: Small type A flies and Big type A flies. Small type A flies can be killed just with a single tap on it and Big type A flies require double tapping to get killed. You gain points only with the killing of type A flies .Multi touch kill of the flies is also supported. You get 5 points with the killing of every small type A flies and 10 points with the killing of every big type A flies.
Do Not Tap on Type "B" flies
Type B flies shouldn't be harmed as you loose 20 points with the killing of every type B fly. There are options available that even end the game if you tap on the type B flies.
Using Insecticide Sprays
These sprays can be used to eliminate the flies at a single shot.
Spray 1: As soon as this is sprayed, all the flies get killed instantly.
Spray 2: Spraying this doesn't kill them instantly but slows down their movement and kills them gradually. They still get some extra time to reach the food.
Combo Bonus
Smash 10 Type A flies at a stretch and get a rewarding bonus of 100 points instantly. Hit the flies carefully and add the big bonus to your existing score.

Structured Reporting and
Quantitative Imaging
By CHARLES E. KAHN, Jr., MD, MS
A clinical radiology report
records the results of an imaging procedure and communicates those results to the
referring physician and/or the patient. But what if the report's structure
encouraged radiologists to enter more detailed, quantitative information? What if
the report's design made it easier to build databases, retrieve reported
information, and exchange data consistently among enterprises?
Structured reporting can
help radiologists record, retrieve, and reuse the information of imaging
procedure reports [1]. Structured
reports ideally use meaningful, consistently ordered sections to organize their
contents. Standardized language, such as terms from RSNA's
RadLex® radiology lexicon, facilitates
retrieval of report content by human readers and information systems.
The RSNA's Radiology
Informatics Committee (RIC) has undertaken an initiative to identify and promote
best practices in radiology reporting. Our mission has been to develop structured
reporting templates to improve the communication of radiology results.
Since its inception in 2008,
the RSNA's reporting initiative has established a consensus for the high-level
structure of radiology reports. We have developed a technical approach for report
templates that builds on widely accepted information standards, including RadLex,
HL7, DICOM, and the Web's Extensible Markup Language (XML). Our committee has
convened two well-attended workshops to engage radiology subspecialty societies,
other medical professionals (including cardiologists, pathologists, and
oncologists), medical informatics specialists, and radiology reporting system
The first 70 reporting
templates were published during RSNA 2009. Twelve subspecialty work groups
created templates across a variety of imaging modalities and organ systems, such
as whole-body PET/CT for cancer staging and brain perfusion CT. Free plain-text
and XML-encoded versions of these templates are available at RSNA.org/reporting. Additional templates are
being developed, and their terms are being mapped to RadLex concepts.
Structured reporting makes
it easier to capture and retrieve quantitative data. For masses such as lung
nodules, reporting templates can include measurements in one, two, or three
dimensions, and could include volume measurements. By linking a numerical value
to a specific report concept, one is in effect building a data structure from
which one can retrieve the data.
To facilitate
interoperability, we are working to extend RadLex and the National Center for
Biomedical Ontology's "Units of Measurement" ontology (www.bioontology.org). This effort will allow
information systems to convert units of measurement automatically using
ontology-based knowledge. For example, physicians and researchers will be able to
track results consistently, regardless of whether a lesion's size has been
reported in centimeters, millimeters, or inches.
Additional information about
the RSNA Reporting Initiative is available at RSNA.org/reporting.

Assessing CAD
By NICHOLAS PETRICK, PhD
Let's start by defining CAD,
since the acronym can have various meanings including computer-aided detection,
computer-aided diagnosis, computer-aided display, computer-assist device among
others. In this article, I'll use CAD to refer to the general class of
computer-assist devices (CADs) defined as a computer algorithm used in
combination with an imaging system to aid the clinician in detecting or
classifying disease [1]. This
includes computer-aided detection (CADe), a computerized system that marks or
highlights portions of an image that may reveal abnormalities, and CADx, a
computerized system that provides an assessment of disease in terms of likelihood
of presence, type, stage, or other characteristic. It is important to understand
that CADs don't detect or diagnose disease. The premise of CADs is that
information produced by the clinician and by the computer system are somewhat
complementary. The contribution of CAD stems from the ability of a clinician to
sort through and utilize relevant CAD information as part of his/her overall
clinical interpretation process [2]. A clinician interacting with the computer
algorithm is fundamental to CAD and its assessment.
There are many elements to
assessing a new CAD algorithm, but two types of studies are generally part of the
assessment mix: (1) stand-alone performance testing and (2) reader performance
testing. The former type of study is useful in developing and ranking prototype
CAD designs, but does not provide direct evidence of how a CAD will affect
clinical decision making. The latter type of reader study provides the necessary
evidence that the CAD does aid clinical decision making. Stand-alone testing can
be an effective tool for identifying subgroups of patients or disease
characteristics where a CAD algorithm has either superior or inferior
performance, so both should generally be used to thoroughly evaluate a CAD.
Reader performance for CAD
is typically assessed using a multiple-reader, multiple-case (MRMC) study design.
In MRMC, a set of clinicians (readers) from a relevant population of clinicians
evaluates a set of patient cases from a relevant population of patients. For CAD
assessment, without-CAD reading is typically used as a control. It provides a
performance benchmark for which any CAD-related performance change can be
compared [3] and serves as a
control on the range of case difficulty and reader skill in the study
[1]. The MRMC study design is quite
general accommodating a number of different reading protocols and statistical
endpoints. One common design is the so-called "fully-crossed" protocol where each
reader reads each case in both the with-CAD and without-CAD arms. This study
design is efficient in minimizing the total number of cases but hybrid designs,
such as the "doctor-patient" design where each clinician reads only their own
patients, can also be accommodated. The MRMC approach is often considered as tied
to receiver-operating-curve (ROC) analysis. This is a common misconception
because MRMC accommodates a variety of endpoints including sensitivity,
specificity and location-based analysis.
Reader variability plays a
key role in CAD assessment for two main reasons: (1) differences in reader skill
levels and (2) differences in reader aggressiveness. Large variability, not
uncommon in imaging modalities for which CAD is being developed, implies a need
for large reader studies. The magnitude of the variability is often unknown
without access to some type of pilot data; therefore pilot studies are key to
sizing MRMC studies. Fortunately, a number of statistical tools, along with their
software implementations, have been developed and are available to account for
the correlations and common sources of variability in MRMC data, thus providing
estimates of mean performance as well as confidence intervals correctly
accounting for reader and case variability [1,
In summary, CAD assessment
generally includes both stand-alone and MRMC reader performance testing with the
former used for triaging underachieving CAD algorithms and for identifying
substandard performance within subgroups and the latter assessing CAD's impact on
clinical decision-making.

165 Rescued: Freed After Being Kidnapped Crossing Border to United States (VIDEO)
165 migrants have been rescued in Mexico near the United States border, after being held captive for the past three weeks, according to reports.
The rescue took place in La Joya on Thursday, according to Mexico's Interior Ministry. It has been described that the 165 victims had been attempting to cross the border into the United States, but were instead handed over by the groups transporting them to criminal groups.
Their captors demanded money from the group's families, the Interior Ministry's spokesperson Eduardo Sanchez has said.
"The victims said that they had the intention of entering the United States of America, but they were held against their will while a suspected criminal group contacted their families by phone and demanded different sums of money that were sent to their kidnappers," Sanchez said.
Out of the 165 migrants, 150 are reported to be from Central America, 14 from Mexico, and one from India. Two of the victims were pregnant, and 20 others were minors.
Once abducted the group was taken to a fenced-in home, where they have been kept for the past two to three weeks.
The rescue came after an anonymous tip was made to authorities claiming that there were weapons at a home in Gustavo Diaz Ordaz, a city in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The problem of criminal groups taking advantage of people attempting to illegally cross the border into the United States has been a constant problem which has been highlighted increasingly over recent years. In 2010, Mexico's National Commission for Human Rights reported that 11,333 migrants were kidnapped in just 6 months in that year.
Here is a video news report into the rescue:

CHARLESTON, SC - Vancouver Whitecaps FC continued their perfect preseason record with a comfortable 2-0 victory over the College of Charleston. A pair of first half strikes for recent acquisition Paulo Jr. made it five straight wins to start the preseason.
Vancouver started the game with a mixture of familiar first team players, new signings, and trialists as head coach Martin Rennie rotated his squad following Saturday's 3-2 win against Charleston Battery in the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup opener.
Rennie was pleased with the team's overall performance against a spirited College of Charleston side.
"It was an excellent game tonight," said Rennie. "We put in a good shift for the whole game and I was really pleased with how we played. I thought that there was a number of very good performances."
"I would have liked to have seen us be a little bit more clinical in the final third, connect our passes just a little bit better, but overall our possession, our movement, our defending was very good and our pressure on the ball was excellent. It resulted in us not really giving up a shot on goal, so overall I'm very pleased and it's a good sign."
Whitecaps FC dominated the early exchanges and opened the scoring in the 10th minute with Corey Hertzog receiving a pass from Russell Teibert, playing it through to Paulo Jr. in space. The Brazilian struck a first time right-footed shot from the penalty spot to beat the keeper.
Camilo then found himself twice thwarted by Kees Heemskerk in the Charleston goal. On 18 minutes the Brazilian saw a low shot turned away and 2 minutes later a cut back from his fellow countryman, Paulo Jr., found Camilo open just inside the 18-yard box but again his shot was saved by Heemskerk.
Vancouver's pressure soon told when, in the 28th minute, Russell Teibert floated a cross, which found Paulo Jr. unmarked to score with an easy header to double the advantage.
Rennie made a couple of changes at halftime, which included bringing on trialists Dever Orgill and with 15 minutes remaining, the Jamaican nearly scored but his effort went wide of the post.
College of Charleston enjoyed some good possession but were unable to carve out chances against Vancouver and only got their first shot away with 2 minutes remaining.
Whitecaps FC saw the game out to record the comfortable 2-0 victory and they will be hoping to carry their preseason form into their next game against Houston Dynamo in the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup on Wednesday.
Wednesday's match will be streamed live on whitecapsfc.com whilst TEAM 1040 will provide full radio coverage.

The fingerprint sensor in the 5S is interesting, but I wonder how accurate it will be in the real world; on top of that, with all the NSA news, I'm not particularly keen on Apple reading my fingerprint all the time. Supposedly, applications don't have access to it and it's not stored in the cloud, but I have little to no trust for companies.
The biggest news for me is the fact that the iPhone 5S has a new chip - the A7 - which has the honour of being the first 64bit chip inside a smartphone. iOS7 and first party Apple applications are all 64bit, and Xcode obviously supports it. While this obviously future-proofs the platform for more RAM, I wonder what other motives are involved here. ARM desktops and laptops, perhaps?
I doubt 64bit will provide much benefit today, but you have to hand it to Apple: at least they're done with the transition before it's even needed.
