|Missy is expecting another little blessing in June
While the main goal of the visit was to make a little something for the ladies of the church, our time was also very relaxing. Melanie made coffee and bagels. We [adults] chatted. As a mom of young children, it is necessary to converse with an adult from time to time. If not, I find myself referring to the ladies' restroom as a potty to someone that is over the age of twenty.
We accomplished our goal, but we also had fun doing it. Hope you have a Happy Easter!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (
The Bucs, who have won six of their last seven games, improved to 7-7 overall, 4-3 in A-Sun play. Meanwhile,
"Anytime you get a conference win that's a good win," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "Having five guys in double figures is something you have to be happy about because I think that shows we're getting better. I was excited to see Timmy get that milestone, but as for the game we have to start defending and rebounding better. It's obvious we can score points, but we need some stops."
ETSU, which started the game without senior guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) due to a right ankle injury and without senior forward Dillion Sneed (Chicago) due to a stomach illness, still got double figure scoring from its starting five players. Smith led the way with 26, while junior guard Travis Strong (
In the first half, the Bucs zoomed to a substantial lead and held a 17-point advantage three times. However, the Dolphins battled back thanks to a 17-3 run midway through the half and trailed by just three at 33-30 with left before the intermission. ETSU withstood the rally, though, and closed the half with a 6-2 run to lead 47-39 at the break.
While the Bucs had five players in double figures,
ETSU shot a blistering 55 percent from the floor, 50 percent from beyond the arc, forced 18 turnovers and grabbed 10 steals on the night.
The Bucs will continue Atlantic Sun Conference play Monday night at home, taking on

BOSTON — Federal prosecutors will ask for a 27-year prison sentence for a Worcester man who authorities say had a dungeon in his basement and chatted online with other men about their mutual desire to abduct, kill and eat children.
Geoffrey Portway, of 31-2 Beechmont St., Worcester, pleaded guilty in April to solicitation to commit a crime of violence, and possession and distribution of child pornography.
Under a plea agreement, prosecutors and Mr. Portway's lawyer agreed to a sentencing range of 18 years to a little more than 27 years.
In a sentencing memo filed Tuesday, prosecutors asked for the highest sentence, arguing that chats recovered from Mr. Portway's computer show he solicited several people for help in abducting a child with the intent of raping, killing and eating the child.
Authorities said they found a dungeon, a homemade coffin, disposable scalpels and other tools in the basement of Mr. Portway's home.
''Portway may try to argue that the pictures and chats are just part of a fantasy life and that he never intended to carry out his plans, but the evidence clearly shows that is untrue,'' Assistant U.S. Attorney Stacy Dawson Belf wrote in the memo.
''In the chats, Portway becomes tired of people engaged in role play or fantasy, telling no less than 15 chat partners he is serious about wanting to kill and eat a child.''
Mr. Portway's lawyer, Richard Sweeney, said he plans to argue for the low end of the sentencing range, about 18 years.
Sentencing is scheduled for next Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Worcester.
Mr. Portway is a British citizen who has lived in the United States most of his life. He was among dozens of people arrested in an international child porn investigation.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
Peter Hook and The Light Featuring Rowetta - "Pictures In My Mind"
Following its digital release in May 2011, Peter Hook and The Light's debut EP "1102 / 2011" is to receive a physical CD release with American sister indie label 24 Hour Service Station as an extended edition including instrumentals and two unreleased a capellas of "Atmosphere". The 1102 / 2011 EP its name from the palindromic recording date of 11th February, 2011, at Blueprint Studio, Salford, and features the four tracks from the EP, Rowetta's versions of "Atmosphere", "New Dawn Fades" and "Insight" while Peter Hook sings on "Pictures in My Mind", an unfinished Joy Division track which was unearthed by the band's "bootleg society" from a rehearsal tape stolen in 1977, setting it between Warsaw and Unknown Pleasures. The effervescent and punky tune has been completed for the first time by Hooky and The Light for this release.
The design for the EP is a stunning post-apocalyptic Manchester streetscape by local Manc artist James Chadderton, who works as a 3D and graphic design tutor in the city. Inspired by the nightmarish futuristic visions of movies like The Terminator, Dawn of the Dead, and the BBC's classic "Threads," many assume that James's artwork depict post nuclear fallout but James prefers to characterize them as "human devoid wastelands where the buildings have been left to decay." Click here for more details on James' work.
Press Quotes on Peter Hook and The Light "1102 / 2011" EP
"'Pictures in My Mind' is a worthy addition to the Joy Division canon."
- Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 6 Music
"Very effective and if anyone's going to do a Joy Division song, it might as well be someone who was in them... that song ("Pictures in My Mind"), the unfinished Joy Division song, I actually really like. It sounds like The Seeds or something from the Sixties"
- David Quantick on Steve Lamacq's Roundtable

As of April 20, 2014, the Ministry of Health (MOH) of Guinea has reported a cumulative total of 208 clinical cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), including 136 deaths. To date, 169 patients have been tested for ebolavirus infection and 112 cases have been laboratory confirmed, including 69 deaths. In addition, 41 cases (34 deaths) meet the probable case definition for EVD and 55 cases (33 deaths) are classified as suspected cases. Twenty-five healthcare workers (HCWs) have been affected (18 confirmed), with 16 deaths (12 confirmed).
Clinical cases of EVD have been reported from Conakry (53 cases, including 23 deaths), Guekedou (122/87), Macenta (22/16), Kissidougou (6/5), Dabola (4/4) and Djingaraye (1/1). Laboratory confirmed cases and deaths have been reported from Conakry (37 cases, including 19 deaths), Guekedou (60/38), Macenta (13/10), Kissidougou (1/1) and Dabola (1/1). These updated figures include 3 new cases isolated on 20 April from Conakry and Guekedou, 2 of whom are laboratory confirmed. Five new deaths have also been reported among existing cases; all 5 of the deaths were patients with confirmed EVD. Twenty-one (21) patients were in isolation in Conakry (12), Guekedou (8) and Macenta (1), while 16 patients who recovered from their illness were discharged from hospital.
Contact tracing activities continue in all affected areas. A total of 217 contacts are currently under medical observation and 92 have completed their 21 days of follow-up.
The numbers of cases and contacts remain subject to change due to consolidation of cases, contact and laboratory data, enhanced surveillance and contact tracing activities and the continuing laboratory investigations. As the incubation period for EVD can be up to three weeks, it is likely that the Guinean health authorities will report new cases in the coming weeks and additional suspected cases may also be identified in neighbouring countries.
From March 13, 2014, the date of onset of the first laboratory confirmed case in Liberia, to April 21, 2014, the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of Liberia has reported a total of 34 clinically compatible cases of EVD; 6 confirmed cases, including 6 deaths, 2 probable cases and 26 suspected cases. The date of onset of the most recent confirmed case was 6 April and the date of admission of the last confirmed case was 10 April. The confirmed and probable cases were reported from Lofa and Margibi Counties, while suspected cases have been reported from Bong, Grand Cape Mount, Montserrado and Nimba Counties as a result of enhanced surveillance and contact tracing activities.
The number of confirmed cases in HCWs has been adjusted down from 3 cases to two as data are reviewed against case definitions and laboratory results. The total number of deaths has also been revised from 13 to 11 as one of the deaths has been counted in the EVD statistics for Guinea and one death occurred in a discarded case. As laboratory tests have been conducted on 32 clinical samples overall only 6 of which have tested positive for ebolavirus to date, it is anticipated that most of the suspected cases currently reported by Liberia will be reclassified as discarded and removed from the case count in the future.
Following data review, the number of contacts now stands at 162 in total; Foya district, Lofa County, the epicentre of the EVD outbreak in Liberia accounts for 72% (116) of the total contacts followed by Margibi County (17%, 28 contacts). Fifty-nine contacts (36% of the total) have completed 21 days follow up and have been discharged from medical observation.
Sierra Leone
As of April 22, 2014, clinical samples from 19 clinically compatible cases of EVD have been tested at the Kenema Government Hospital. All 19 samples tested negative for ebolavirus. As part of enhanced surveillance activities, the Ministry of Health and Sanitation of Sierra Leone also decided to test for the presence of ebolavirus in samples from patients referred to the Lassa Fever Isolation Ward of the Kenema Hospital for the investigation of viral hemorrhagic fever-like illness who tested negative for Lassa fever virus infection. The additional 24 blood samples collected from March 16, 2014 onwards were analyzed and all tested negative for ebolavirus.

Shadow Jubilee by The Shadow. Owned by
Dickinson Cattle Co. Inc, Barnesville, Ohio. She
is believed to be the fastest horn growing cow in Texas Longhorn history
with 85-3/8" T2T. Scientific produced heifers from
her cell line will be the treasure of the pasture.
The Jubilee clones have a beautiful facial speck pattern very nearly the same as their famous dam.
Improvements in scientific cattle production have taken on several methods in the last 150 years.
In 1860 Texas Longhorn bulls were selected for castration which were the larger, the most beefy and appeared to be the best thick specimens. All agreed (in 1860) that this science was a good management practice. Steers were allowed to develop then driven up the trails and sold. The best were steered and the poor quality bulls were left as herd sires. The open range herd evolved down to poorer and poorer specimens from this practice. This was recorded in the book, THE LONGHORNS, by Dobie.
In the early forties artificial insemination, although controversial, provided great advantages for breed improvement. Since the use of AI the average dairy cow has doubled her daily milk production. This process is now universally used in nearly every nation and has assisted in improving the production of abundant human food products.
In 1971 surgical embryo transfer science started. One famous scientist/embryologist removed two Simmental embryos from a famous cow in Canada, placed the embryos into a large tame female rabbit and personally flew them to Oklahoma for implanting. This resulted in one of the first full blood Simmental bulls born in the USA. This process was considered inhumane and many cows never produced again due to the surgical scar damage.
In 1979 non surgical embryo transfer science quickly replaced surgical. Many feel the early eighties was the greatest breed improvement period of the bovine industry.
In the mid eighties embryos were frozen which allowed them to be shipped in liquid nitrogen all over the world. This special scientific tool has placed unique genetics into the hands of successful producers of several species.
As the above scientific procedures all came together, now replication cloning is a regular and reliable science. At this writing over 1000 clones of the leading producing milk cows, champion show steers, elite carcass steers, world champion bucking bulls and the longest horned Texas Longhorns now graze the earth. It is a special tool that has come of age. But, as in several other scientific advancements it too is not without it's critics, skeptics and controversial press.
The God of the universe is all wisdom. Science is the truth and understanding of the facts of His microscopic intricate beautiful design. Deuteronomy, fifth book of the Pentateuch, 29-29 "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God; but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever......" As the Lord allows our best minds to move forward in scientific understanding, some will kick and scream and others will praise his precious name for allowing us to live at this time, and see the marvelous beauty of His handiwork.
The following information gives accurate data on the cloning process. We would like to thank ViaGen for the preparation of this information. Thank you to Marquess Arrow Ranch for the use of clone donor and calf photos.
ViaGen Frequently Asked Questions
These are 8 of the Measles Flower scientifically produced progeny. Please note the replication body style and near exact color patterns. As they get older the roan specks will develop exactly like Measles Flower.
Starlight, owned by Dr. Zech Dameron III was the pioneer Texas Longhorn cow selected for replication. She and all her replicas are owned by Dr. Dameron. The Starlight replicas are all producing and their daughters will start calving in the next few months. The lid is placed on genetic bounce with replication, not breed improvement; but the consistency of replicas being equal to or no less in quality and consistency is the attraction to this process. The real replica value is the ability to turn back the clock even to the point of successfully replicating a replacement from a deceased critter.

I'm having trouble loading videos into Mixcraft!
Posted by Eric VanLandingham on 18 July 2012 04:18 PM
By default, Mixcraft will support AVI and WMV video files. However, there are a lot of different types of video files out there. Knowing what type of video you have is important.
Mixcraft uses the DirectX decoders that Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Player uses. As a general rule, if you can't load it in one of those programs, you won't be able to load it into Mixcraft.
If You Can't See Your Video File To Load
To load a video, select "Add Video File..." from the "Video" menu. Navigate to the folder with your video in it. If your video is not in the .AVI or .WMV formats, you will need to switch the File Type drop down from "Default Video Files" to "All Files". Now, you should see your video file. Select it to load it.
If Your Video Is Not Loading
If the video fails to load, it is because you are most likely missing the correct DirectX video decoder. The best advice is to do one of the following:

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii. It infects most animals and causes human parasitic diseases, but the primary host is the felid (cat) family. Cats get infected by eating infected rats. Rats get infected by accidentally absorbing cat faeces. The parasite subtly alters the rat's behavior. Whereas healthy rats avoid areas that smell like cat urine, infected rats may actually seek these areas out.
People usually get infected by eating raw or undercooked meat, or more rarely, by contact with cat faeces.
At least one third of the world population may have contracted a toxoplasmosis infection in their lifetime but, after the acute infection has passed, the parasite rarely causes any symptoms in otherwise healthy adults. However, people with a weakened immune system are particularly susceptible, such as people infected with HIV. The parasite can cause encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) and neurologic diseases and can affect the heart, liver, and eyes (chorioretinitis).
Transmission may occur through:
- Ingestion of raw or partly cooked meat, especially pork, lamb, or venison, or by hand to mouth contact after handling undercooked meat. Infection prevalence is higher in countries that traditionally eat undercooked meat, such as France. This seems to be by far the most common route of infection.
- Ingestion, accidental or otherwise, of contaminated cat faeces. This can occur through hand to mouth contact following gardening, cleaning a cat's litter box, children's sandpits, or touching anything that has come into contact with cat faeces.
- Contamination of knives, utensils, cutting boards and other foods that have had contact with raw meat.
- Drinking water contaminated with Toxoplasma.
- Ingestion of raw or unpasteurized milk and milk products, particularly those containing goat's milk.
- The reception of an infected organ transplant or blood transfusion, although this is extremely rare.
The cyst form of the parasite is extremely hardy, capable of surviving exposure to cooling down to subzero temperatures and chemical disinfectants such as bleach and can survive in the environment for over a year. It is, however, susceptible to high temperatures, and is killed by cooking. Cats excrete the pathogen for a number of weeks or months after contracting the disease, generally by eating an infected rodent. Even then, cat faeces are not generally contagious for the first day or two after excretion, after which the cyst 'ripens' and becomes potentially pathogenic.
Although the pathogen has been detected on the fur of cats, the pathogen has not been found in a 'ripe' form, and direct infection from handling cats is generally believed to be very rare.
Pregnancy precautionsEdit
Congenital toxoplasmosis is a special form in which an unborn child is infected via the placenta. This is the reason that pregnant women should be checked to see if they have a titer to toxoplasmosis. A titer indicates previous exposure and largely ensures the unborn baby's safety. If a woman receives her first exposure to Toxoplasma while pregnant then the baby is at particular risk. A woman with no previous exposure should avoid handling raw meat, exposure to cat faeces, and gardening (a common place to find cat feces). Most cats are not actively shedding oocysts and so are not a danger, but the risk may be reduced further by having the litterbox emptied daily (oocysts require longer than a single day to become infective), and/or by having someone else empty the litterbox.
Treatment is very important for recently infected pregnant women, to prevent infection of the foetus. Since a baby's immune system does not develop fully for the first year of life, and the resilient cysts that form throughout the body are very difficult to eradicate with antiprotozoans, an infection can be very serious in the very young.
Infection has two stages:
Acute toxoplasmosisEdit
During acute toxoplasmosis, symptoms are often flu-like: swollen lymph nodes, or muscle aches and pains that last for a month or more. Rarely, a patient with a fully functioning immune system may develop eye damage from toxoplasmosis. Young children and immunocompromised patients, such as those with HIV/AIDS, those taking certain types of chemotherapy, or persons who have recently received an organ transplant, may develop severe toxoplasmosis. This can cause damage to the brain or the eyes. Only a small percentage of infected newborns have serious eye or brain damage at birth.
A combination of sulfadiazine and pyrimethamine should be given.
Latent toxoplasmosisEdit
Most patients who become infected with Toxoplasma gondii and develop toxoplasmosis do not know it. In most non-immunodeficient patients, the infection enters a latent phase, during which only bradyzoites are present, forming cysts in nervous and muscle tissue. Most infants who are infected while in the womb have no symptoms at birth but may develop symptoms later in life.
The cysts are immune to the standard acute treatments.
The antibiotic atovaquone has been used to kill Toxoplasma cysts in situ in AIDS patients [1]. In mice, a combination of atovaquone with clindamycin seemed to optimally kill cysts[2].
Risk factorsEdit
- Infants born to mothers who became infected with Toxoplasma for the first time during or just before pregnancy.
- Persons with severely weakened immune systems, such as persons with AIDS. This results from an acute Toxoplasma infection or an infection that occurred earlier in life that reactivates and causes damage to the brain, eyes, or other organs.
Possible effects on human behavior Edit
The findings of behavioral alteration in rats and mice have lead some scientists to speculate that toxoplasma may have similar effects in humans, even in the latent phase that had previously been considered asymptomatic. Toxoplasma is one of a number of parasites which require alteration of host's behaviour for their life cycle[3]. The changes observed are likely due to the presence of cysts in the brain, which produce or induce production of a neurotransmitter, possibly dopamine[4], therefore acting similarly to dopamine reuptake inhibitor type antidepressants.
The evidence for behavioral effects on humans, although intriguing, is relatively weak. There have been no randomized clinical trials studying the effects of toxoplasma on human behavior. Although some researchers have found potentially important associations with toxoplasma, it is possible that these associations merely reflect factors that predispose certain types of people to infection.
Studies have found that toxoplasmosis is associated with an increased auto accident rate, roughly doubling or tripling the chance of an accident relative to uninfected people [5][6]. This may be due to the decreased reaction times that are associated with infection [7]. "If our data are true then about a million people a year die just because they are infected with toxoplasma," the researcher Jaroslav Flegr told The Guardian[8]. The data shows that the risk decreases with time after infection, but is not due to age [9]. Ruth Gilbert, medical coordinator of the European Multicentre Study on Congenital Toxoplasmosis, told BBC News Online these findings could be due to chance, or due to social and cultural factors associated with toxoplasma infection[10].
Other studies suggest that the parasite may influence personality. There are claims of toxoplasma causing antisocial attitudes in men and promiscuity[11] (or even "signs of higher intelligence"[12]) in women, and greater susceptibility to schizophrenia and manic depression[13] in all infected persons. A review of research focused on the schizophrenia connection confirms an association but does not confirm a causal relationship [14].
Human prevalence Edit
In the U.S. NHANES III national probability sample, 22.5% of 17,658 persons >12 years of age had Toxoplasma-specific IgG antibodies, indicating that they had been infected with the organism. It is thought that between 30% and 60% of the world's population are infected. However, there is large variation countries: in France, for example, about 85% of the population are carriers, probably due to a high consumption of raw and lightly cooked meat.
Animal prevalence Edit
A University of California Davis study of dead Sea Otters collected from 1998 to 2004 found that toxoplasmosis was the cause of death for 13% of the animals. Proximity to freshwater outflows into the ocean were a major risk factor. Ingestion of oocysts from cat faeces is considered to be the most likely ultimate source.[15]

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — With just three weeks remaining in the legislative session, Gov. Jay Nixon has added a new wrinkle to his proposal to tap into billions of federal Medicaid dollars to expand health coverage for lower income residents of Missouri.
The Democratic governor on Monday outlined an initiative dubbed "Missouri Health Works" that would use federal money to pay a portion of the private health insurance costs for businesses with fewer than 150 employees. The state aid would be available for people earning less than 138 percent of the poverty level, which is about $27,000 a year for a family of three.
But the plan faced immediate criticism in the Republican-led Legislature, which has repeatedly rejected attempts to expand Medicaid eligibility under the terms of President Barack Obama's health care law. House Majority Leader John Diehl called Nixon's proposal "a new gimmick."
The legislative session ends May 16, and Republicans have no plans to approve a Medicaid expansion. The Senate reiterated that Monday by rejecting various Democratic budget amendments that would have depended on a Medicaid expansion.
Nixon said the Legislature's inaction has made things worse for small business, which he said are "getting squeezed between sky-high health insurance costs and new requirements" under the federal health care law.
"I don't expect the General Assembly to support Obamacare, but I do expect them to listen to small businesses and evaluate the situation on the merits, rather than the politics, to come up with a solution that's right for the Show Me State," Nixon said during a Monday news conference in Cape Girardeau covered by the Southeast Missourian newspaper. "Simply put, there are no more excuses for inaction."
Nixon announced the proposal at the Cape Girardeau Chamber of Commerce.
But it came as a surprise to Dan Mehan, president and CEO of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which has been lobbying lawmakers in favor of a revamped Medicaid program that would use additional federal dollars to expand coverage. Mehan said Medicaid expansion is essentially dead in the Legislature this year and expressed frustration that the governor waited until the end of the session to roll out the proposal.
"If he were serious about this he wouldn't wait until there's three weeks left in session, and he would maybe try to engage members of the General Assembly before spending state moneys on the airplane flying down to Cape Girardeau to talk about it," said Diehl, R-Town and Country.
House Speaker Tim Jones, who was in Cape Girardeau for a separate news conference Monday about tax cuts, also criticized Nixon for not bringing the plan to lawmakers sooner.
Under the federal health care law, states that expand adult Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of the poverty level can initially receive full federal funding for those added to the rolls. The federal aid for the expanded pool of people would gradually be reduced to a 90 percent share, which is still significantly higher than the federal percentage of the tab for the rest of the Medicaid program.
But some Republican lawmakers have raised concerns about Missouri's eventual share of the costs of a Medicaid expansion.

Night of Death (US - DVD)
Our reviewer Gabe Powers takes a job at a creepy, secluded retirement home
Welcome to another one of those magical moments that occur only a few times a year (if we're lucky). What we have here is a re-release of a relatively rare horror gem, and a chance for a wider audience to finally see it. I try to approach such releases with tempered expectations, and usually even these are disappointed, but Night of Death (aka: La Nuit de la Mort) is something special. It's not a knee-quaking, pant-wetting, jaw-dropping experience, but it's a film that deserves better notice, and the reason studios like Synapse exist. The story is very simple, and not deceptively so. A young woman named Martine (Isabelle Goguey) finds employment through her fiancé working as a nurse at a strange and secluded retirement home. She shows up to work a day early, and is greeted somewhat negatively. The woman she's replacing hasn't even heard she was to be released. Martine is hesitantly shown about the grounds, and introduced to the oddball inhabitants. The next morning Martine's co-worker is gone, and the residents all appear vibrant and energetic. I won't spoil the rest, even if the cover art does.
I can't find very much information on Raphaël Delpard's film, especially not in English, not on the internet or in my personal library. I'm also generally just not that familiar with French horror films, especially not those released in the 1970s or '80s, with the exception of Jean Rollin's output, and Alain Robak's Baby Blood. In the last decade France has stepped up as a big player, and historically they were very important to the genre, but during the golden age of splatter the country didn't have a big presence. Night of Death does look and feel a lot like a Rollin flick, specifically Grapes of Death, which was much less erotic, dreamy, and pretentious than the director's usual cavalcade of lesbian vampire flicks. Even without sound or subtitles one would have to work pretty hard mistake the film for anything but French. However, moody visuals aren't enough to set the film apart, and with the sound and subtitles working a wicked and dry sense of humour rears its head. Night of Death is an average horror movie, but it's a great comedy.
The cast of characters are mostly defined by one or two elements, but the broad terms are utilized as practical shorthand, not lazy writing, and the most successful comedy is character driven. The retirement home residents are rather broadly humorous, and a bit hit and miss, though the old fellah that playfully calls Martine a fascist while 'knitting a revolution' is a constant delight. Martine herself is the comedy ace of spades though, and she's subtle enough that I'm sure most viewers wouldn't consider her amusing. Martine is almost impossibly likeable, and the constantly suspicious behaviour around her slides off her back like water off an especially oily duck. She's almost unflappable, even when she catches the entirety of the residential community standing outside her bedroom window watching her undress, she rolls her eyes and clicks her tongue. It's possible that Delpard intended the film to be more frightening than it is, but he appears to be treating most of the straight horror stuff as if it's amusing. The feasting scenes and the last act escape are disturbing and exciting for their part, but the geriatrics tend to make amusing horror movie villains, more than genuinely frightening ones.
But it's not all dry wit and splatteriffic slap-stick (and I should firmly note that the gory bits are few and far between for all the gore-hounds out there), Night of Death features some chilling pathos, and some remarkable bouts of purely visual storytelling. The retirement grounds are maintained by a crippled man with a short temper (who looks more than a little like Rammstein's lead singer), who at first looks like just another Norman Bates stand-in (which he is to a degree), but Delpard gives the actor one scene to step above the norm. Martine, suspecting the groundskeeper of being a stand-alone murderer, sneaks into his room and witness a role-playing session she can only assume he stages on a nightly basis. The scene is genuinely upsetting and sad. Concerning the visual storytelling–Delpard sticks to the 'show, don't tell' mantra pretty strictly once the plot is set up. This works best as Martine puts together the mystery of the missing nurse without talking to herself. Night of Death's closest cinematic cousins (outside of thematic similarities with stuff like Don't Look in the Basement and The Sentinel) are the Dr. Phibes films, and Roman Polanski's earlier films, specifically The Tenant. It's most direct descendant seems to be Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Delicatessen, which features almost zero dialogue, not to mention some startling narrative similarities. One assumes Caro and Jeunet were familiar with Delpard's work.
Night of Death is presented in its original 1.66:1 aspect ratio and is anamorphically enhanced. The transfer is relatively clean, but does feature occasional white chunks, consistent fine grain, and other minor imperfections and artefacts. The whole thing appears a little washed out, but I'm assuming this was mostly a purposeful part of the original look, which is constantly moody and overcast. Due to this likely intended look the colours are largely desaturated and pale. The brighter reds of the gory bits and the thicker yellows pop against the cool whites and greys, but they also bleed a little bit. Though pale, the flesh tones, surrounding browns, and costume blues are relatively solid, and feature even gradation. Details are inconsistent. The close-ups are pretty sharp, but medium and wide shots are a bit noisy, especially on edges, which feature minor blending problems, and/or edge-enhancement problems (both of the white line and jagged noise varieties).
This DVD features a sole Dolby Digital 2.0 Mono French track and removable English subtitles. The track isn't exactly teaming with sound effects, so a surround remix would be silly, and there isn't a lot to complain about concerning Synapse's treatment. The shortcomings are mostly related to original mix shortcomings. The mix is distinctly separated into a musical track, the on-set noise (including dialogue), and added effects elements. The music is the most important element to this particular film, and that part of the track sounds great. Laurent Petitgirard's string quartet heavy score recalls the best of Herrmann and Morricone, but features an original sound as well, and works well with the tonally tongue-in-cheek film. The wicked string arrangements are the loudest thing on the track, and feature only minor distortion on the highest registers. The dialogue and other on-set sound is normally clear, but features occasional echo, hard 's' distortion, and inconsistent volume levels. The sound effects added for emphasis are mostly delegated to the creepy groundskeeper, and though clear, do not blend with the set sound, or sync with the on-screen action. Again, not Synapse's fault.
The history of Night of Death will remain a mystery because there are no extras included with this disc.
Night of Death isn't going to please everyone, but horror fans starved of originality and the unseen should find themselves filled. Viewers need to understand the film is actually more comical than frightening, but most of us will be equally satisfied by the mix of elements. The video and audio isn't quite up to Synapse's usual standards, but I'm relatively sure most of the problems are unavoidable side effects of the original materials, and the final effect is reasonable at the very least. The film's rarity could've lead to some exciting retrospective extras, but alas the disc is bare. Still worth a look, and even a blind buy for likeminded fans the world over.

I just recently purchased a Environment monitor for my Data center and they come with a primative website interface. I am wanting to pull the data from that website and post it to another website that will log the data and display it every minute....
the device allows you to go to http://device/temp and will spew out pipe delimited data like so:
I want to be able to post it to a new that I have been working on that displays all the servers in rack 1 then have the temperature displayed next to it.
This device also supports SNMP if there is another way to do it but I dont know how to even start doing this since I am not a programmer
Any thoughts suggestions help?
