The Characters:
Sylvain - He is selected to investigate the threatening occurrences around Gandahar and turns out to be the best man for the job. Calm, thoughtful, and reasoning in his actions. Really unlike your standard action hero.
Airelle - Jennifer Grey! A beautiful young woman who falls instantly in love with Sylvain. He returns the favor, but is it because he respects her mind or her total disregard of shirts?
Ambisextra - Glenn Close! As the Queen of Jasper she is a woman with her head screwed on right. A good thing, too: if not it might fly away. Okay, sorry, that pun was probably uncalled for.
Blaminhoe - Counselor and advisor to the ruling body of Gandahar. He looks like a cross between Buddha and Confucius.
The Deformed - Genetic freaks banished from Gandahar because of their twisted bodies, though their minds are sound. Penn and Teller are among them! (This explains a lot of things.)
The Men of Metal - Soulless killers sent from the future to enslave the populace. Their marching precision bears no small resemblance to Fascist propaganda films from World War II.
Metamorphis - Christopher Plummer! Huge mass of brain tissue that was created by mistake and is responsible for the Men of Metal. When not musing on the secrets of life and the universe it exhibits traits disturbingly similar to a rotifer.
The Plot:
Gandahar is an idyllic paradise where the citizens have mastered both themselves and their environment. Everything exists in perfect harmony with the world, providing an abundance of nourishment for both the body and soul. No need for net or hooks; the fish hop into your boat when a specific melody is played on a flute, while some plants germinate melons or pets on command. How would you like to have a new dog? Simply walk up to the nearest dog tree and let the deciduous mother know your desires. Within minutes a canine embryo begins forming in a large translucent fruit. When it ripens Rover (artistic license here - it is an alien pooch) bursts forth full of adulation for the waiting owner.
Another obvious aspect of the perfect world are breasts. You heard me correct, those physical structures common on females that us men are so appreciative of. Don't get me wrong now; breasts would obviously have a prominent place in any Elysian paradise among my dreams. It is just amusing in ways that require a Y chromosome.
Paradise is lost, not by a woman picking fruit, but when some malevolent force begins attacking the outlying regions of Gandahar. Reports reaching the capital city of Jasper are sketchy, but the audience is privy to certain terrifying secrets. Villages are being attacked and the inhabitants turned to stone by strange beams! Are the attackers medusa wearing storm trooper armor (this is what you get when I fall asleep during "Clash of the Titans" and wake up during "The Empire Strikes Back") or something less subtle?
Sylvain is dispatched by the Council of Women to find out what menaces their peaceful land. On the edge of civilization he is beset by strange winged creatures that swoop to attack. He finishes the last predator with a deadly organic weapon (just thinking about a rose bush germinating inside my head gives me the shivers) right after it mortally wounds his own mount. Yielding in death to gravity's call, the flyer makes a crash landing that leaves Sylvain unconscious. The brave young man is found by a group of hideous figures, all misshapen and prone to strange terms of speech.
The Deformed are not the enemy Sylvain seeks to unmask, though he first mistakes them for such. Instead we find out that they are products of ancient tampering by Gandaharian scientists, perhaps during their search to perfect everything. Reviled by those pure of blood, the Deformed have lived in exile for countless years. Despite this, they harbor no resentment against what the agent represents and even assist him in his quest.
Everything really takes off for a little while here as Sylvain is captured by the invaders, meets Airelle, escapes, witnesses the Men of Metal passing through a strange doorway, and discovers the Metamorphis. He returns to Jasper with all this new information (plus a new girlfriend to boot) and dumps it into Blaminhoe's lap. Luckily the wise old man finds a record of the Metamorphis in some data archives. Long ago scientists created the enormous brain and, not knowing what else to do with it, dumped the mass into the Circumscribing Sea. Great idea; didn't anyone on your planet watch "Alligator?"
Battles are fought and lost to stem the tide of ferrous invaders, including the peaceful citizens of Gandahar employing huge crab like beasts as weapons of war. Rolling giant boulders downhill at the invaders seems to work best (there are a few disadvantages to marching in formation while under attack), but the actions are only a fighting withdrawal. Everything depends on Sylvain's final mission: inject the Metamorphis with a deadly concoction before all is lost!
Now the enigmatic prophecy begins to make sense. The huge brain acknowledges that it and the Men of Metal are linked, but they come from a thousand years in the future. Sylvain is placed in suspended animation for a millennium, waking to find that Salvador Dali remodeled the planet while he slept (next on "Trading Spaces") and the Metamorphis is now a wicked thing. Its cells are too old to reproduce and legions of automatons issue through the doorway of time to plunder the past. People turned to stone are brought back through the gate, reanimated, and then used to replenish the huge brain's tissues.
Meanwhile, in the past, the war is lost and a huge flock of birds carries Jasper (the city is inside a mountain shaped like a woman's head) away. Will the hero be able to euthanize the old and decrepit Metamorphis before the birds all drop dead from hernias? It is more of a physical dilemma than a moral one; once grandpa starts snatching up the grandchildren and sucking out their brains you had better take a hammer to him.
Strange landscapes and races are expensive to film as live action. Even with the burgeoning growth of CGI some visions are simply best realized by talented pen and ink. "Light Years" is not
animation, but it is
animation. Potent would be a fitting description. Like the marching blocks of Metal Men or the Deformed man, who does not have any legs, balancing on one arm to greet Sylvain with an open palm. Here we have a screenplay groomed by Isaac Asimov and delivered with all the fixings. Enjoy it.
Things I Learned From This Movie:
You don't want to be shot in the face, especially not by a gun that makes thorns grow out of whatever it hits.
Five heads are better than one.
Shaping your storage containers like eggs is a great idea. Unless there are enormous reptiles, with strong maternal instincts, running around. Then it's not such a great idea.
Flying carpets are made from neurons. (It's a long story.)
There are disadvantages to be being composed of metal, like electrical storms.
Having a weapon that causes petrification is of dubious value when your targets are rocks.
Stuff To Watch For:
3 mins - Ahhh! Silicates! Run for your lives!
7 mins - I do not think one-eyed birds would be very successful, there is this neat requirement called "depth perception."
13 mins - He has lips on his knees; bizarre.
18 mins - Hey, how about a helping hand? If you have a normal one that is.
30 mins - Obviously this planet's ocean does not have waves.
51 mins - Are we men or are we freaks with limbs growing out of all the wrong places?
63 mins - Maybe this is the wrong time to ask, but how do you go to the bathroom?
68 mins - I sure hope that those are not steam pipes...
Blaminhoe: "We've lived in peace so long, we've neglected the possibility of evil and we may have forgotten how to fight it. Perhaps we've been fools and this land of ours a fool's paradise."
Deformed: "You were, will be, Gandaharian?"
Sylvain: "I was, will be. You were, will be, my friends."

Starving actors speak out
Sylvain: "My quest began with a riddle: 'In a thousand years Gandahar was destroyed. A thousand years ago Gandahar will be saved and what can't be avoided will be.'"
Ambisextra: "One less mirror bird to watch over our kingdom of Gandahar, killed like the others were. Who would do it and why?"
Blaminhoe: "To keep us from learning what threatens us. Without the eyes of the mirror birds we can't see what's happening at the borders of our land."
Metal Man Leader: "The 'I' does not exist!"
Metal Men: "The 'I' does not exist."
Metal Man Leader: "The true 'I' is 'We!' It is we, it is we!"

The first time I saw this movie, I think I was about 8 years old, I was mesmerized. Since then I've seen it about twice. Every time I think of the movie, I am filled with awe and amazement. The wonderous landscape and engaging plot bring you into such an amazing world that you will be swept off your feet. Recently I've been trying to get a hold of a copy of the movie because it truly is amazing, but there seems to be quite a limited amount. Ah...oh well...If anyone knows of a digital copy of the movie or it's music, I'd be pleased to be informed of how to get it! Definitely see it if given the chance...it's quite a movie.

I saw this movie when I was 13, it being one of about 500 movies my parents rented from their video store. (Yes, I had a blissful, movie-filled childhood, I admit it...) Unfortunately, the copy my mother was able to get was missing about the first five minutes of the film. I mean, you'd pop the tape into the VCR, and, immediately, you're thrust into Gandahar's strange little world, where a woman welcomes a dog-like animal springing from a plant and brings it to her breast to suckle. I'm assuming, therefore, that I missed a tiny bit of exposition because of that, but I still really liked this flick. As Andrew said, the hero is actually that - a hero. He doesn't go running around getting into fights, doesn't insult people who are trying to help him, doesn't curse up a storm, doesn't use people to help him, then leave them to their own devices, and doesn't speak in an annoyingly, high-pitched, whiny voice! "pant, pant" (Sorry, I just watched "Rush Hour 2", and I want so badly to shoot Chris Tucker in the crotch right now...I'll understand if this bit doesn't get printed, but, Godalmighty, that man is annoying!) However, I digress. This film was always a pleasure to watch. It wasn't really what I'd call action-packed, but the characters made it interesting. The whole idea of people thinking in terms of not only the past, but the future, as the means to the present was a bit confusing at first, but I really got into it. Looking at the photos and clip on this site, I realize that the animation isn't as good as I remembered, but I still think it was beautifully done. Anyway, I recommend it, it wouldn't be time wasted.

I saw this movie in the late 80s when a friend lent it to me. I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The music is haunting, a web of eerie threads, and I loved it so much that I put the movie on AUDIO tape so I could listen to the various songs! (freak! lol)
The acting is almost...surreal. I felt myself really caught up in this future, and when I saw the Deformed, I knew I was watching a classic.
There is nothing about this movie that I did not like (except when Sylvain tells Arielle that he feels that they had been "chosen"...a guy will say ANYTHING to get a girl into bed...love it...lol).
If you havent seen it, see it!
Long Live Gandahar!!

Can you believe I actually saw this, when it first came out, and I do not remember anything about it? Maybe, because I have it down in my list of films seen, as "Light Year" and not "Light Years." Obviously, not as good as much of that put out by Bakshi or Disney, still it is worth checking out.
If for no other reason, then anything classified as adult animation is worth checking out. (IMHO) Enjoy

This movie is one of the very few sci-fi animated movies made in France. We don't make many animated movies, and even less sci-fi, bloody cartesians that we are.
But René Laloux, the director, is one of the Justs! ;) Before that one, he made "Les Maîtres du Temps" (1982, Time Masters) and "La planète Sauvage" (The Fantastic/Savage Planet, 1973). All three movies have in common the good but not great quality animation (for the time), and stories that are infused with a poetry that most Disneys lack thoroughly.
Gandahar is adapted from a novel by Jean-Pierre Andrevon, a French sci-fi novelist among the best. Although the story was his first, and the Time warps/paradoxes are... well. Let's just say they're even less logical than a ST:Voyager episode about time travel... It is still an excellent movie, that found its way into this Bad Movie site because it's French, poorly known, and old. Still, I'm not blaming Andrew, it's nice to see people know about this movie!
Don't dwell too much on the quality of the animation; remember budget was probably one tenth or one twentieth of what Disney used at the time, and that all these movies are old anyway. And check out The Fantastic Planet. It's worth 80 mns.

Not a bad film, really. For some reason, it reminds me of "Heavy Metal" without all the big-name rock bands in the background.

I rather liked this movie, it's a animated movie that made me think, which I haven't run across too often. The Metal Men are interesting (love to have a WAV of their marching sound) and the Deformed are excellent. Actually I think this beats the pants off of any Disney story, at least plot-wise.

Okay, I don't even smoke. . that. . anymore. But watching this movie last night sure made me wish I did. Then it would have made sense, perhaps. Or perhaps not. It is a lot like old Heavy Metal - when it was Metal Hurlant. Anyway, it rocks, and my 9 year old son liked it too, although he was a little stunned by the advanced technology that yet has not invented the shirt. Well, everyone gets their own priorities.

Renee Rosnes
Renee Rosnes' sixth Blue Note CD shows her stretching well past her hard bop roots. Joined by bassistScott Colley and husband Billy Drummond on drums, she covers a wide swath of musical styles. Her aggressive attack on Ornette Coleman's "Blues Connotation" contrasts with her laid back richly textured treatment of the old Beatles hit "With A Little Help From My Friends." Richard Bona adds some intriguing percussion to her inspired arrangement of Duke Elllington's rarely heard "Fleurette Africaine," and her approach to Bartok's "Children's Song No. 3" displays the trio's rhythmic gifts. "Ancient Footprints," a new version of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" with lyric added by Kitty Margolis, is swinging hard bop with the tension of an uptempo African tribal chant and also features guest Dianne Reeves's strong vocals. The pianist's rollicking "Romp" and her joyful "Little Spirit" (dedicated to her infant son) are memorable works as well. Highly recommended.

Old insight into the early 2008 economic situation, the housing issue, the pending election, and the real state of the economy...
"It is hard to imagine any time in history when such rampant pessimism about the economy has existed with so little evidence of serious trouble..."
"With housing so weak, the recent softness in production and durable goods orders is understandable. But housing is now a small share of GDP (4.5%)."
"Pumping massive amounts of liquidity into the economy and pumping up government spending by giving money away through rebates may create more problems than it helps to solve."
"The good news is that the U.S. financial system is not as fragile as many pundits suggest. Nor is the economy showing anything other than normal signs of stress. "
For the whole story: The Economy Is [WAS] Fine (Really)

Etsymom: Anne, Felt It (http://muppetloon.etsy.com/)
I am a SAHM of one 2-year-old daughter and an inner city high school teacher currently on child care leave.
I have always loved to make things, even as a small child. I have especially loved working with fibers and textiles.
For many years, cross-stitch was a pastime that I enjoyed. When I moved to NYC, my students learned how to crochet in an after school program and I became fascinated by the range of fibers that were available. I am just learning how to crochet now. At the time, I had chosen to take up knitting rather than crochet and was able to teach many of those same students the art of knitting. That process took on an entirely new perspective when a couple of the students wished to learn how to sew. It renewed my passion for sewing that I had originally inherited from my mother, the quilter.
The tissue cozies began as graduation gifts for my students to take to college. Something that I had handmade with a specific meaningful image for each student. The students and parents liked them so much that I was encouraged to extend the project.
So, here I am... experimenting, stitching, and creating new designs, structures, and crafts for myself, for my friends and family, and now for others through my etsy shop. Felt It items are all made from Eco-Felt Fabric. This felt fabric is made from recycled post-consumer plastic bottles! Another score for the planet!
Woo hoo!
My favorite items in the shop currently are the pin cushions
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40373235) and eco felt balls
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39860337). My daughter loves
to play with them and so do I!

JOBS: New law could expand opportunities
COLUMBIA CITY — In a down economy, many individuals, surprised at finding themselves jobless, have great difficulty securing a new place of employment.For those who have a criminal conviction, it is even more difficult.It was with this in mind that Indiana House Enrolled Act 1482, effective July 1 of this year, was signed into law. Under this code, individuals may now have criminal convictions removed from their record. This provision is possible for all misdemeanor convictions and most felonies, with violent and sexual offenses excluded.For years, Indiana has allowed certain arrests and juvenile records to be expunged. This expansion to convictions is expected to help those searching for a new life after incarceration.To read the rest of this story, see the June 15-16 issue of The Post and Mail.

TRENTON, NJ — Job approval poll numbers are rebounding from a five-year low for US Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey in the wake of an ethics probe involving a major donor.
A Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday shows 40 percent of registered New Jersey voters surveyed approve of the job the two-term Democrat is doing compared to 37 percent who do not. A 41 percent negative approval rating reflected a 15-point drop in a February survey.
New Jersey voters are divided 35 to 36 percent, with 29 percent undecided, on whether Menendez is honest and trustworthy.
Fifty-three percent say the issue is worth investigating, while 30 percent say it's politically motivated.
The telephone survey of 1,129 registered voters has a sampling error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Southern California receives less than 10 inches of rain per year, yet 22 million people reside there and agriculture flourishes. Such a region has no earthly business supporting such a large population or a water-intensive agricultural economy, yet it does. How is this possible?
Water is transferred there from up to 1,000 miles away through a complex system of aqueducts and reservoirs. Bringing water to the desert in California has a history of political intrigue, corruption, poor economic planning, staggering debt and the serving of special interest groups. When William Mulholland took to the first steps to seize control of water rights in the Owens Valley in eastern California for use hundreds of miles away in the Los Angeles Basin, so began what some refer to as the California Water Wars. Farmers in the Owens Valley charged that Mulholland was stealing their water.
Why is this relevant to Connecticut, a state that receives on average more than 50 inches of rain per year, ninth most in the U.S.? We have no water shortages here.
Or do we? Even now the state weighs the option of transferring more than 2 million gallons of water per day to Storrs to support the growth of the University of Connecticut. UConn President Susan Herbst and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy have laid out ambitious plans in "Next Generation Connecticut" for increased student enrollment, more faculty and new buildings. The university is poised for unprecedented growth.
This growth, however, will demand more sources of water, water that is simply not available in the immediate vicinity of Storrs. Without additional water, UConn risks damaging the surrounding environment through heavy withdrawals. Many believe UConn will be one of the state's major economic growth engines of the 21st century, but without adequate water it will, like an engine without lubrication, grind to a halt.
To solve this problem, the prevailing suggestion is to transfer water from places of abundance. One such location is the Farmington River watershed. Many residents of the Farmington Valley believe such a transfer would negatively impact this scenic and historic region, and oppose the idea. Echoes of the Owens Valley can be heard in the public hearings. Although it is unfair to compare UConn to Mulholland, it is easy to see why the residents of the Farmington River Valley have the impression that UConn is attempting to steal their water.
Politicians in Hartford have been paying attention. A bill proposed by State Rep. John Hampton, D-Simsbury, would place a moratorium on all water diversion projects until a statewide water plan is developed and implemented. Such a plan would provide a detailed inventory of the state's water resources and provide options for sustainable growth. It could provide alternatives to inter-basin water transfers such as the Farmington Valley-to-Storrs concept for sustaining growth in regions that have less water.
A statewide water plan could also promote the beneficial use of unconventional water resources, such as wastewater. UConn has already started down this path by building a wastewater reuse system. With one additional low cost filtration step (like one already located at the power plant for water used in steam and power generation), the university could feasibly treat up to 1 million gallons of wastewater per day to drinking water quality. This raises the question: If this water can be made drinkable, why not simply expand this facility to capture all of our wastewater, treat it and use it directly for any purpose?
UConn is known for supporting major environmental initiatives that have it ranked the No. 5 green campus in the U.S. by the Sierra Club. The university has an opportunity to expand on that reputation by promoting its growth and vitality without overusing water resources or needing costly and energy-intensive water transfers.

New Delhi: In line with its strategy for sustainable profitable growth in India, German luxury carmaker BMW is pushing for more ultra high-end models.
The company, which last week launched an all-new version of its M6 Gran Coupe, a four-door sports car priced at Rs 1.75 crore (ex-showroom Delhi), plans to bring the hybrid BMW i8 car as a completely built-up unit (CBU) by the end of 2014.
BMW Group India president Philipp von Sahr told PTI that although the company plans to introduce four models this year, the focus on ultra high-end models made sense, considering the tough market conditions.
"We are also concentrating really on the high-end cars ... It is important in difficult economic situation to focus on such cars and invest on the marketing of such cars because there you can get some money and for that we are here," he said.
Explaining the rationale, von Sahr added: "It doesn't make sense if you are number one in sales and then have no money to invest. That doesn't help."
On plans for the Indian market, he said: "We were focusing for the past few years on volume growth and now we have a certain size and now we are looking to be really profitable in this emerging market which has some economic problems but here we have to focus on our own strength."
He added that the company has not set any target for volume growth in 2014 and the plan is to be ready when market conditions become better.
"In such an economic situation, we have to focus on profitable growth and invest, like we did on the training centre, so that after the election, if the market goes up, then we have to be prepared. It would not be good if we are not prepared," Sahr said.
The company invested Rs 16 crore on a centre in Gurgaon to train its sales representatives, dealers and associates.
Terming last year as "not an easy year," Sahr said market conditions would hopefully improve in the second half of 2014.
"This year, we are all focusing on elections. I would say 2014 has two half-years — the first half-year is waiting for the election and the second half-year hoping that the economic situation recovers," Sahr said.
The company, which slipped behind German rivals Audi and Mercedes in the Indian market last year, is looking to recover ground by investing behind the brand and new launches.

Steve Gregg of Shawnee knows all to well what can happen when a vehicle collides with a deer.
Steve Gregg of Shawnee knows all to well what can happen when a vehicle collides with a deer.
Gregg was driving east of SH 18 on Moccasin Trail Road with his teenage daughter as his passenger when he topped a hill to see a doe standing in the middle of the roadway.
"I know you're not supposed to weave," he said, but Gregg said he tried to ease right just as the deer did, then left, but his SUV ultimately struck that doe.
"We slid sideways on the road," he said, adding it was early morning and still dark at the time of the accident. The impact bumped the startled and likely injured doe off the road before it trotted off into the woods.
Luckily, Gregg and his daughter weren't injured, he said, and there wasn't much damage to his vehicle.
But the scary experience was definitely an eye-opener and Gregg said he's especially cautious now in watching for deer while driving.
He said if the speed limit on a road is 50 to 55 mph, he suggests drivers slow down to 35 to 40 mph to have more time to react should they encounter a deer.
Deer can cross a roadway just about at any time of day or night, but are usually more prevalent at night, especially at dusk and dawn.
Drivers should especially pay more attention in deer crossing areas, along with areas near creeks and low-lying areas, according to game wardens. Deer are typically more active during both the hunting and mating season, which are ongoing right now.
Micah Holmes, who is the information and education supervisor with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, said because deer are on the move in preparation of the deer rut, bucks are chasing does and there's a lot of movement, so deer can create dangerous situations for motorists.
"Be aware of your surroundings," Holmes said, adding drivers should watch for deer at any time.
If a driver sees a deer, Holmes said there's more likely going to be another, or even two or three more deer as they often move in groups.
While some drivers may try to avoid hitting a deer, if faced with swerving or hitting the deer, Holmes said many drivers who swerve to miss a deer often end up in other lanes of traffic, in a ditch or even hitting telephone poles, which can be worse.
Holmes, who said drivers may sometime encounter deer standing still in the roadway, said headlights often blind them. Some say honking a car horn can help get the deer to move, he said, but awareness is the key.
"We try to stress staying safe," he said.
If a vehicle collides with a deer, games wardens say drivers need to make sure they're not hurt, turn on the vehicle's hazard flashers and get off the roadway.
If there are injuries or property damage other than a vehicle, such as fence, a state trooper will need to take a report. Holmes also said some drivers might want an accident report for insurance purposes.
Holmes said the number of deer in the state this year is about normal, but he said it's a good year for deer, which are healthy with all the food and plentiful water from recent rains.
So far for the 2013 deer season, which has included archery and muzzleloader season, there have been 24,000 deer harvested so far, Holmes said.
The upcoming deer gun season begins later this month. Holmes said in a typical year, about 100,000 deer are harvested.
Hundreds of crashes occur each year involving deer. According to the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, 141 people were injured and two were killed in accidents involving deer in 2011. Those numbers only reflect serious accidents or injuries, but there's countless other non-injury accidents involving deer each year.
Since 2005, there's been an average of two fatalities each year from deer-related accidents, with the exception of 2009, when six fatalities were reported.

text: As we consider a military attack on Syria, I ask myself: Is another war affordable? Spiritually? Financially? What are the risks? How long would it last? Are there alternatives? In northern Michgan, it's the time of goldenrod and asters, ripening apples, ferns turning brown. On a morning walk, I wonder what it's like to be a refugee, to behold my dead child lying in a long row, to know the attack is coming as a drone circles overhead. Since 2002, arms sales among the 100 largest providers of military equipment/services have increased 60 percent. The profits that are made from war are obscene, unacceptable. I feel no safer. I do not support military strikes. September 11 gave me a bitter taste of what it's liked to be attacked at home. I do not wish to inflict violence on the homes of others without careful consieration and only after every alternative has been explored. I reflect on the legacy of the U.S. military's use of napalm and agent orange in Vietnam and our little-discussed use of white phosphorous in Fallujah. What kind of example have we set? Military action is unlikely to stop the killing in Syria or bring those responsible for the use of chemical weapons to justice. Diplomatic engagement with all regional stakeholders is what is called for right now along with practical assistance to the neighboring countries who have welcomed the 5,000 refugees on average every day. These are the times to grow our souls. I love this country enough want us to rely less on force and more on wisdom, creative diplomacy, and moral leadership. Regardless of your views on the situation, please share them with the President, your Representative and Senators. Deb Hansen Levering

So the children march the night in costumes, gathering treats from the town, scolded not to eat them until their parents have had time to check the candy (in reality to allow the parents the ability to count and tally the treats). And when the witching hour commences and the first second of dreary November passes the bogeyman comes, slipping unnoticed from any doorway to steal the child away.
Why do the townsfolk permit this? Because those who participate in the ritual, signified by the display of a fearsomely carved or illuminated vegetable on their doorstep, are protected from the supernatural for the long winter ahead. Some say it is his will alone that keeps the peripherals at bay, others say he is their lord.
Happy Halloween, I hope you get lots of candy...just not more than my own kin..

Nashville, Tenn. - Three days after falling to Middle Tennessee State, the TSU men's basketball team will look to rebound against USC-Upstate at home on Friday at 7 p.m.
The 5-7 Tigers will put their perfect 3-0 home record on the line as they host the Spartans for their last tune-up game before starting Ohio Valley Conference play on Dec. 29.
"Friday's game will be a big game," head coach Travis Williams said. "We are playing a very good team that was picked to be second in the Atlantic Sun before the season and is also well-coached. We are excited to play [USC-Upstate] at home."
Last year, TSU was 6-6 going into the final non-conference before going 11-5 during OVC play and finishing in second place.
"The team is going to have to be more consistent going forward. We have to be ready to play like we are capable of in every game and stay focused," Williams said.
This year's team hopes that a victory against USC-Upstate on Friday will provide the same spark that led to a strong finish. However, the Tigers first must play a 4-6 Spartan squad that is led by Torrey Craig. Craig is currently averaging a conference-high 18.7 points while also pulling down 5.5 rebounds per game.
As a team, USC-Upstate is second in the Atlantic Sun in both field goal percentage (45.4 percent) and three-point percentage (34.1 percent).
"Upstate relies on half-court sets: a lot of five-man motions and curl cuts. We have to be ready to guard against all of their action," Williams said.
Upstate's last game was at Baylor on Monday and the Spartans nearly pulled the upset before falling 57-73 at the hands of the Bears.
The matchup between the Tigers and Spartans will be the first meeting between the two schools. Both will be looking to pick up a win before taking an extended break for the holidays.
Friday's contest will also serve as the 92 Q Old-School Party, and TSU alumni are encouraged to attend and take part in the festivities.

2017 NRL grand final: There's no I or iPhone in this Melbourne Storm team
Something wasn't quite right with the Storm culture in the two years following their 2012 premiership.
They went out backwards in 2013 and the following year lost 28-4 to Canterbury at home in the first week of the semi-finals.
Apart from the usual problems inevitable at any club – injuries, lack of depth in certain positions, tired players – there was a communication breakdown between the older and younger members of the squad.
Nothing serious in the sense of personal hostility, or even mutual dislike, but an absence of the gentle banter you hear in successful dressing rooms where no one needs offer a penny for another man's thoughts.
In early August of 2014, during a camp on the NSW Central Coast between two away games against Wests Tigers and Newcastle, the problem was identified.
It took some time to resolve, although the Stor
m's loss to the Cowboys in the 2015 preliminary final was more to do
with injury in the forwards and weakness in the outside backs.
Rugby league is a war game, with its lines of attack and defence. Great armies are not built overnight, nor are communication breakdowns between its constituent parts resolved quickly.
That night in 2014 at the Storm's hotel, the Crown Plaza in Terrigal, the coaching staff noticed something bizarre at dinner. There were two tables, each of 10 players and only two players were talking to each other.
Eighteen were speaking on mobile phones, texting, scrolling through emails or using apps.
An immediate ban on the use of mobile phones at team meetings and meals was imposed, with $50 fines levied, even for a phone ringing that went unanswered.
I witnessed the result of this in June this year, on a trip from Melbourne to Sydney for a Thursday night match against the Sharks. The three days away with the Storm demonstrated how much in rugby league has changed, yet how little has changed.
The ease with which players transfer from bus to airport lounge to plane to luggage carousel to bus to team hotel is achieved with militaristic efficiency.
A Storm official hands players their boarding passes immediately they retrieve luggage and dispenses room keys at the hotel. No one waits, unlike the time wasted years ago sitting in hotel foyers while the club secretary actioned everything only on arrival.
Yet it was after the match where I was most surprised.
Given my love of a beer, the modern NRL dressing room doesn't do much for me. Soggy watermelon, grapes, nuts, raisins and kiwi fruit might be appealing to an exhausted player, but not those of the old school.
But in the visitors' dressing room at Cronulla the Eskys were rolled out and players sat about, most still in their jumpers and shorts, drinking beer. Sure, the mood was aided by a win over the Sharks and the announcement by football manager Frank Ponissi of Billy Slater's recall to the Queensland State of Origin team.
Shark Park was dark and deserted by the time everyone filed onto the bus, some two hours after the game.
A small band of supporters had waited faithfully by the bus for autographs, which were forthcoming with apologies for the late hour.
Back at the hotel, the players had dinner and then broke up into groups of about eight, playing cards and chatting.
It was then I noted the absence of mobile phones.
Captain Cameron Smith sat with the youngest players, but it seemed more by seat availability than design.
The beer continued to flow and I was the first to bed, at about 2.30am.
Melbourne's next game, against the Cowboys at home, was nine days away, plus it was a farewell to the Storm's Queensland players for the second Origin match.
As it transpired, the match against the Cowboys was won courtesy of a field goal from Brodie Croft, a player who did not make the trip to Sydney and may not, therefore, have been affected by this cultural retreat.
The Cowboys are a different team now, with Michael Morgan's precision advantage-line passes, Jason Taumalolo's inspiring charges and hooker Jake Granville's dangerous dummy-half forays, especially down the blind side.
They also have a clever kicking game, trapping opponents in the corners of the field.
The Townsville team has relied on their high completion rate for success in recent weeks and, provided the Storm match this, the minor premiers should win.
I tell many an ex-player about my journeys with the Storm, if only to counter their suspicions the modern NRL man is a latte sipper obsessed with everything beginning with I, including himself, iPhones and iPads.
"We don't do it every away game," coach Craig Bellamy said of the beers flowing after the Cronulla match, and, indeed, there has been a total beer ban during this year's finals.
Bellamy's next challenge must be to visit the White House on his annual education trip to the US and ask the tweeting US President Donald Trump to join the Storm's mobile phone ban.

Building a Diverse Applicant Pool
Minnesota State University, Mankato, is committed to the goal of recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse faculty and staff. To accomplish this goal, special recruiting efforts have been established. It has been stated that the pool of candidates from underrepresented groups in specific disciplines is small or nonexistent. We must develop specific strategies for enlarging the pool of applicants.
All recruitment plans must include activities that actively seek an applicant pool of qualified individuals that includes members of underrepresented groups. When the University, through the Director of the Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office and appropriate official/s, sets a hiring goal for a unit, the special efforts to recruit affirmatively must be exceptionally strong to be successful in meeting this goal.
International faculty in probationary positions filing for permanent residency will, in collaboration with the University's Human Resources office, need to present evidence to the Department of Labor (DOL) and Immigration that the university used a national professional journal (i.e. print advertisement or 30 calendar day electronic advertisement). Local or regional advertisements will NOT meet Immigration or DOL requirements.
The following recommendations should be considered in the development of recruitment activities.
Send job postings to placement services of schools with graduate or professional programs of scholars in your profession/discipline, and especially those with high enrollment of minorities and underrepresented groups.
The key to building an exemplary applicant pool is personal contact; call your colleagues at other colleges/universities. Establish and maintain relationships with schools having quality programs in your profession/discipline and seek their assistance in identifying qualified candidates. Ask about current students or recent graduates of their program. Develop a log of recruitment calls to document recruitment activities (see telephone log sample).
Contact and encourage outstanding applicants (and nominees) to apply.
Take extreme care during the recruitment process to ensure an implied commitment is not made to the individual being recruited.
Establish and maintain contact with faculty members, unit heads and department chairs in your discipline/program unit at other colleges/universities, and encourage them to nominate candidates. Phone or e-mail them to inform them of vacancies; ask their assistance in identifying potential applicants (see telephone log sample).
Advertise in national or regional professional journals or newsletters of your profession/discipline, and post announcements on web sites of your professional associations.
Be pro-active in seeking names of individuals who may be interested in a new position when you attend discipline specific conferences. Post job vacancies on announcement boards, and be available to meet with potential candidates.
Use professional association placement services, and use listservs or job lists related to the field - many are free or very low cost.
Contact the Equal Opportunity & Title IX Office for a computer mail file of predominantly minority institutions. Mailing labels are available and can be ordered directly through Office Support Services using Mailfile category number 861 (207 labels).
Published abstracts can be used to identify post-doctoral candidates in your field.
Recruitment plans prepared in collaboration with other departments may be used to control advertising expenses.
Contact government agencies, industrial or business organizations to recruit persons in nonacademic positions who may want to re-enter the academic community.
- Human Resources will post all job postings to the following:
- MSU Career Opportunities (Faculty & Administrative)
- Higher Ed Jobs online
- Employment Opportunities online
- The Chronicle (Faculty)

Reaves scores twice for Blues in winby Louie Korac
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Blues enforcer Ryan Reaves wants to make one thing clear:
"I never turned into the team sniper," Reaves said after his first career two-goal game in a 4-1 victory against the Calgary Flames on Thursday. "The hands felt good today. Luckily I can pot a couple."
Reaves did pot a couple, and for the Blues, it's one victory nailed down, one more to go.
Knowing that wins in their final two regular-season games would clinch the fourth seed in the Western Conference and home-ice advantage in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Blues took a businesslike approach and applied it to their game against the Flames for a season-high fifth straight home win.
The Blues' fourth line took center stage with Reaves leading the charge. Adam Cracknell had two assists and Chris Porter added one.
St. Louis got second-period goals from Reaves, Andy McDonald and Alexander Steen, and Chris Stewart had two assists.
The Blues (28-17-2) hopped over the idle Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks into fourth place by one point. St. Louis can lock up home ice against the winner of the Sharks-Kings game late Saturday by winning its season finale earlier in the evening against the Chicago Blackhawks, who have wrapped up the Presidents' Trophy and have nothing left to play for.
"It's an important game," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said of the finale. "You move on one way or the other, but it's an important game. It's two good teams. Chicago's arguably the best team in a long time in the League the way they've played. It's a good challenge. We're going to have to be at our best to win the hockey game, but I think it's a fun game to finish the season with. It's obviously more important for us than it is for them."
Goaltender Brian Elliott set a Blues franchise record with his 10th victory this month, now 10-2-0 after stopping 18 shots.
"Tonight we took care of business," said Elliott, who has a 1.14 goals-against average and .947 save percentage in April. "We've got one more chance to do it again."
The Flames (19-24-4), playing out the string in their fourth consecutive non-playoff season, got a goal from Sven Baertschi, and Joey MacDonald stopped 16 shots.
"They were much better than us," Flames coach Bob Hartley said of the Blues. "They took advantage of a couple of mistakes. They are a good skating team and a good transition team. They can shoot the puck. You give them a little room and they will make you pay. That's what they did."
Flames defenseman and St. Louis native Chris Butler said, "I thought we got outworked. We didn't play hard enough. There was a big difference in the two teams tonight. You look at the way they played and the way we played and there's a reason why they are where they are in the standings and why we are where we are. We turned over too many pucks in the neutral zone and we didn't defend hard enough. We probably got the result we deserved."
After a scoreless, practically lifeless first period, the Blues found their offensive game in the second.
Reaves scored his eighth career goal but second in four games at 3:21 when he took Cracknell's feed and sniped a wrister on the near side past MacDonald using Porter as a screen.
"Ports brings a lot of speed with that first goal he kind of set up," Reaves said. "Cracks made a good pass."
The Flames got the equalizer when Jaden Schwartz lost an offensive-zone puck. Elliott came out to the high slot to play it but threw it poorly off the right boards, got caught out of the net, and Jiri Hudler fed Baertschi for a one-timer at 7:58 as Elliott tried diving back into the goalmouth.
"It was kind of a play that the communication wasn't there," Elliott said. "The way we were playing, I knew we were going to come out on top in that period. ... A mistake like that can cost you, so we need to clean some stuff up like that."
The Blues got the lead back when McDonald scored his second in as many games, taking a feed from Stewart and snapping a shot high into the top left corner at the 10-minute mark.
Steen was able to score despite being hooked by Maxwell Reinhart; he stuck with the play and was able to lift a backhand over a sprawled MacDonald with 4:33 left in the second after the Blues won a faceoff on the power play.
It's the first time since March 7, a 6-3 win against the Phoenix Coyotes, that the Blues scored three goals in a period.
Reaves added his second of the game, ninth of his career and third in four games when he crashed the net and slammed home a Porter dump into the crease 2:10 into the third period.
"I don't know what he had for pregame, but I wish I had some of that," Cracknell said. "He scores goals going to the net, has a quick shot, and that's what we practice on all the time. To get rewarded the way we did tonight, it's a good feeling knowing that if our line can contribute and get chances like that, we're going to pot some and hopefully help out as much as we can."
Hitchcock will have a hard time limiting this unit's ice time when the playoffs begin.
"I just think they've got great chemistry," Hitchcock said. "I think everything is work-based, they compete, they're strong on the puck, they're smart. I don't really know if you can call it a fourth line. We've got four lines. I think if that line continues to play at that pace, I don't think you're going to be using it as a fourth line either. They're going to be using up quite a bit of ice time if they play at this level.
"You could see it coming for a month now. Every time we play them together, they play well. I think they've got the right combination. They've got size and smarts. I think the confidence with scoring a couple goals now is really going to help them ... as long as Revo (Reaves) doesn't think he's a goal-scorer now."
Elliott stood his ground on a couple close calls, first extending the right toe on a shorthanded breakaway by Roman Horak with 11:49 remaining, then thwarting a rebound of a Mike Cammalleri chance with eight minutes left. Elliott topped it with a fabulous glove save on former Blues prospect Mark Cundari, part of the trade that brought Jay Bouwmeester to St. Louis, with 3:13 to play.
"Make the ones you should, maybe a couple you shouldn't and you should be OK," said Elliott, who heard chants of his name from the Scottrade Center crowd.
"I don't know if it's warranted, especially in a game like that where I didn't get much work. I was chanting Revo! Revo!"

NEMA 1 inverter drives in 40 hp, 50 hp, 60 hp
Lenze Americas, manufacturer of electrical and mechanical drives, motion control and automation technology, recently introduced three new SMVector NEMA 1 models. The drives are among Lenze technologies now showing at Pack Expo 2011, booth S5360. The 40 hp, 50 hp and 60 hp SMVector drives are expected to deliver superior performance and design flexibility in a broad range of ac motor applications.
"The workhorse of the Lenze inverter portfolio, SMVector drives are deployed in diverse applications—from packaging and conveying to material handling, positive displacement pumping, and HVAC systems," said Steve Dextraze, inverter product manager, Lenze Americas.
SMVector drives have four modes of operation – V/Hz, enhanced V/Hz, vector speed, and torque – plus high starting torque, auto-tuning, advanced low-speed control, and dynamic speed regulation, suitable for many applications. Designed by Lenze as a universally applicable inverter, the SMVector has an input voltage ranging from 120 V ac 1-phase to 600 V ac, 3-phase. The removable EPM (electronic programming module) memory chip allows customers to store operational memory and parameter settings for fast and efficient programming of multiple drives.
Accompanied by a major software upgrade, the new SMVector 40 hp, 50 hp, and 60 hp drives feature sequencer mode operation where up to 16 segments can be set, each at an individual frequency set-point, acceleration/deceleration time, digital output state, and analog input value. Advanced setup parameters include analog input configuration, deceleration override time, voltage midpoint and frequency midpoint V/Hz characteristics.
Plug-in communication modules make the SMVector easily integrated into commonly used industrial networks, including Modbus/RS485, DeviceNet, CANopen, Profibus DP and EtherNet/IP, among others. Programmable digital and analog I/O allow SMVector drives to be configured for application-specific tasks, such as presetting multiple speeds, electronic braking, and motor jogging. The integrated dynamic brake connection requires only an external resistor for fast stopping or deceleration.

Nick Hogan has established roots in Hood River in his 10 years with Hood River County School District and hopes to remain in the community.
Hogan announced his resignation this week as finance director of the school district, following a spring in which he weathered criticism over his handling of district finances.
"I have come to truly love this community and it's my hope to explore other opportunities to remain here," said Hogan.
In March it was revealed that the district budget was facing a shortage of $1.4 million, a fact which Hogan acknowledges he failed to communicate with the rest of the district administration and the school board.
Hogan said of the budget shortage: "It was caused by having expenditures in excess of revenue. Had we realized the extent of the difference earlier we probably would have made budget reductions at the start of the school year. The effect of delaying these reductions is that we kept staff in classrooms longer than we should have."
Hogan said he wishes he had done a better job of communicating this to the rest of the district.
"There was a lot of misinformation out there," said Hogan, who will work through June 30.
"There was an over-expenditure, and a lot of confusion," he said. "The short answer is that the fallout from that and the difficulty in trying to deal with that, I decided it's an uphill battle here.
"The confusion around this year's budget process has stressed my relationship with some of the other administrators to the point where it has become difficult to be a contributing member of the district's administrative team in the current environment," Hogan said. "If I can no longer make a positive difference here, I need to find a place where I can."
In an interview Wednesday, Hogan criticized himself for his role in what he feels was poor communication in the district over finances. Yet board chair Jan Veldhuisen Virk called Hogan "an amazing communicator" and was among the district officials to praise Hogan for his work during Monday's school board meeting.
"Nick has been an excellent professional member of our district and for 10 years he has had an excellent record," Virk said. "I am truly sorry."
Hogan said, "There was obviously no intent to deceive or hide and that came out right away, but some of them continued to believe that if had I caught the over-expenditures earlier, we would not be cutting anything today, which is completely inaccurate; but some of them believe that, and as long as they believe that, it is hard to be an effective member of the team."
Hogan's departure adds one more leadership gap for incoming superintendent Dan Goldman to deal with starting July 1, when he succeeds Supt. Charlie Beck. Curriculum Director Penny Gotting is moving to the Education Service District, and at Hood River Valley High School, Principal Karen Neitzel and Assistant Principal Todd McCauley are leaving the district for other jobs.
"This year there were some unfortunate circumstances that occurred that made Nick feel he couldn't be effective in his current capacity," Virk said.
Beck told Hogan in Monday's meeting, "You've worked with board members, community members and staff. It will be a big loss to lose Nick. I certainly wish him well in his future endeavors, and thank you Nick for your work and your willingness to help me and the rest of the cabinet as we've worked through some difficult situations," Beck said.
Board member Bob Danko said at Monday's meeting, "Tonight's budget meeting was a good example of the work Nick does under very tight time frames. He produces quality work, all the time," referring to Hogan's retooling of the proposed 2013-14 budget between May 12 and May 20 after the district learned it would receive $2.1 million in unexpected revenue in the next two years.
Hogan said, "The main thing is, school district finance is more volatile than most people realize," noting that in the over-expenditure matter, he was cleared of any wrong-doing following a review of district finances by consultant Dr. William Dierdorff.
Yet, Hogan said, "Some people believe the current budget shortage was caused by this over-expenditure, which is inaccurate.
"One of Dr. Dierdorff's findings is that I ended up acting as pretty much an island of finance, and long-term, he said, that does not work," Hogan said. "It wasn't by design, I think, but over time I ended up playing a larger and larger role in the finances of the district, and he pointed out that it needs to be more of a team effort."
He declined to specify with whom his relationship had irretrievably broken down, but when asked, "What is your relationship with Charlie Beck?" he answered:
"Supt. Beck is a member of the administrative team ... we think highly of each other. He understands budget more than some of the other administrators. School-level administrators don't actually have a lot of experience in budget. Once a year they review the budget with me and we try to figure out the budget.
"Some of the school administrators, specifically, believe that the 2011-12 over-expenditures caused the current budget shortage. I've explained several times that's not the way it works. Spending more than we make caused the over-expenditures, and spending more than we make is causing the current budget shortage, so they're related, but that didn't cause this.
"Charlie is more aware of that then they are. It would be normal practice ... no finance director should do the job alone. One needs to make sure that more administrative team members are more involved in the process. No one person should ever …" he paused "... attempt to run it independently, even it if wasn't on purpose."
Hogan was asked, "But the shortfall was there, so whether it happened last year or now, maybe they have a point?"
Hogan replied, "Had we realized it earlier, we would cut a year ago. It would not have gone away. We would have scaled back programs more than we did. We did significant reductions for the 2011-12 school year.
"During 2011-12, I realized those reductions weren't resulting in quite the savings I had expected, and we had several other areas we were overspending," he said. "Had I realized that sooner during 2011-12, we probably would have made some reductions for the 12-13 school year. In '12-'13 we didn't make any reductions. The reductions we're making now, for next year, we probably should have made for this year."

August 6, 2010 -
- Financial Services Committee Ranking Member Spencer Bachus urged Chairman Barney Frank to convene a hearing to examine whether Fannie Mae executives improperly implemented the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) in order to benefit from incentive payments offered by the Treasury Department for mortgage modifications.
Ranking Member Bachus said in the letter, "These allegations are of particular concern, not only because taxpayers have invested more than $85 billion in Fannie Mae to offset its losses, but also because it is being reported that the Administration might order the government-controlled mortgage finance company to forgive many Americans' mortgage debts later this month..... If true, it would help explain why HAMP has been such a failure. It would mean that thanks to Fannie Mae's executives' misfeasance, particularly a preoccupation with short-term financial gain, HAMP was only able to permanently modify about 230,000 mortgages, instead of the 3 million modifications that the Obama Administration promised."
Ranking Member Bachus called for Fannie Mae executives, its regulator, and whistleblower Caroline Herron to testify at the hearing.

What is the easiest way to "move" a website/db between 2 ISPconfig3 servers?
I wish I'd known how to do that a week ago...
Not sure if this works but here it goes:
For a single website, I would just create the site and db on the new server and then copy over the db and site data.
The back-res script will copy over a whole server, so it will destroy other existing sites if you use that.
Till, the only problem still left (see my other posts) is, that this did not copy db users and passwords.
As far as I understood the first poster, he is moving just one website and db and not a whole server and my suggestion was to recreate the website and db and then move its content. So copying db users and passwords is not nescessary here as we do not move a full server.
Btw. Moving db users is quite easy, I simply export them based on the prefix when I move a server with phpmyadmin and import it on the new system, similar to copying the shell users.
yes it is simple, but my question was different. can you please check my post?
and if he didnt know that db-users-pass, he had to do it manually as you described (copy mysql-user-db with mysql-user and database-access-settings)
I've read you post and I've posted the answer how to move mysql users when you move a server in #6 of this thread. The resync function is a function to update existing records and configuration files on a server. If the mysql users dont exist because you missed to move them to the new server, they cant be updated.
He knows that password as it is saved in the config file of the script that is instaled in that website.
so resync-option (Database [ ]) is for doing what?
if i imported db-users in mysql, they didnt get access for their database. I thought resync will do this (setting data-base users to existing(!) database as I can edit in ispconfig web --> databases and database-users.
Sorry for that many questions, but i would like do understand how that thing work. i know i can import all mysql-dbs, import master.sql, remove debian-sys-user and change dbispconfig user pass, but i think i can do this quicker my using that resync option.
By the way: in german translation of tools --> resync there is "Resync ausgewählte Dienste auf entfernten Server." in english its only Resync..
They do get access to their database when you import them correctly. A mysql user consist of records in several tables. You have to import the records from mysql. User and mysql.Db table.
Thanks for the info. I will forward thai to the maintainer of the german translation.
yes. sorry. i only export/import mysql-users. so their db access setting where not imported.
Thank you again!
No biting (or gouging of the eyes) please
I'm simply wondering how to best implement a live-site/test-site project on ISPconfig3 cluster.
And also how to quickly "move" trouble sites to a different node.
My "yearly" bump. Any news?
