Inferno: Special Edition (US - BD)
Gabe spends time with Argento's gorgeous and weird Suspiria follow-up..
A few years ago there was a great story in the local Minnesota newspaper (I forget which one) about a quirky mom and pop video store that everyone knew and loved. The story started with a description of the Key Video VHS release of Dario Argento's Inferno. The rather bland cover art was masked by a note stating that customers should boycott the rental because it featured the torture and murder of cats. The store owner said a renter had taped the note to the box, and that he had left it on because he figured it was a fair warning, even though he'd never seen the movie himself. I find this story endearing because it speaks to the power of film, and Argento's slight of hand. Despite their being very little compelling characterization or narrative, Inferno had a strong enough effect on this particular viewer that he or she was convinced the filmmakers actually killed a sack of cats in the interest of horror movie greatness. In reality, the scene I'm assuming this objective party is referring to plays out like this: a curmudgeony cripple who has been complaining about cats ravaging his bookstore throughout the movie, catches a destructive feline (he carries the cat by the scruff, which probably wasn't comfortable for the creature), and dumps it in a bag of other cats, which he proceeds to walk to Central Park to drown in a lake. We do see him put the cat into the catbag, but the knotting and lifting of the bag takes place after a cut, and during the drowning scene (which follows a sizable invisible time lapse) the only 'proof' we have of there being cats in the sack is a series of growling and hissing sound effects that become muffled as the sack goes under water. I'm also pretty sure it would be harder to collect and drown a bag of cats than it would be to just pretend to do it.
Readers might notice I haven't included a plot synopsis with this review. This is because I have no idea how to sum up this movie without just describing the film as a whole (ie: this happens, then this happens, etcetera). Inferno is sort of the ne plus ultra of nonsense Italian horror movies. It's more nonsensical than any other Dario Argento film, even Suspiria, and is only challenged by Lucio Fulci's City of the Living Dead and The Beyond for the 'Plot is For the Weak' crown. Fulci used to refer to his nearly plotless series of gruesome set pieces as 'Pure Cinema' (I'm sure regular readers are sick of me referring to this by now), and even cited Inferno as a perfect example (which is telling since he didn't have much nice to say about Argento otherwise). This practice only really works for horror stories, as building fear in an audience often depends more on collective experience and memories than thematic elements or storylines. Though several films approach the concept (later Gialli and Slasher films are occasionally almost just a series of murder set pieces, but usually there's a reasonably built storyline to glue them together with), only a handful of early '80s releases really fit the mould. Inferno's thematic prequel, Suspiria kind of fits the notion, but Argento and co-writer Daria Nicolodi keep a solid narrative basis for their bizarre horror happenings. Even the director's strangest movie, Phenomena, actually features a reasonably compelling mystery foundation.
Like City of the Living Dead and The Beyond, Mario Bava's Lucy and the Devil, Michele Soavi's Cemetery Man, and any number of Takashi Miike, David Lynch and David Cronenberg films, Inferno runs on dream logic, which is to say it isn't particularly logical at all. In a dream, one tends to float from instance to instance, and the experience usually makes sense until the dreamer wakes up and realizes he doesn't know how he got to the pink and purple soundstage version of Central Park in the first place, or why there was an alchemist with huge finger nails boiling gold in the basement of a gothic library. Watching Inferno for the first time is a similar experience. Unless you have particular aversion to turning off your disbelief (in which case, what the hell are you doing watching an Italian horror movie in the first place?) it's easy to just go with Argento's flow, and simply accept things for what they are. The second the film finishes it's just as natural to question every ridiculous thing you just saw. There's an idea of plot, but no real story thrust, or even a distinct lead character from scene to scene, and though there is a visual and thematic climax, no questions are really answered, nor threads neatly tied. The supporting characters are presented all in broad strokes, and the closest we get to a genuine lead is a bland, confused cipher for the audience, with almost no personality of his own. I personally assume, knowing what I know about Argento's process, that this is all part of the plan, and at the very least I am perfectly willing to argue that these narrative 'shortcomings' perfectly ape the feel and logic of a nightmare. The approach will always alienate some viewers, but those prepared for the experience might be surprised.
As stated, Inferno is the thematic sequel and direct follow up to Argento's masterpiece Suspiria. Both films are loosely based on Thomas De Quincey's Suspiria de Profundis, which features an essay entitled Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow. Here, De Quincey tells the story of Mater Lachrymarum, The Mother of Tears, Mater Suspiriorum, The Mother of Sighs, and Mater Tenebrarum, The Mother of Darkness. Suspiria plants the idea of Mater Suspiriorum as the leader of a powerful coven of witches, but Inferno cast Mater Tenebrarum in a more abstract light (spoiler: she may be Death personified, though it's hard to believe Death personified could be killed by falling debris…). Inferno is more interested in alchemy than witchcraft, a less universally understood concept, which just leads to more oddity from the nearly nonexistent storyline. Argento would explore the relationship between alchemists and architecture again when he'd co-write and produce Michele Soavi's The Church several years later. Regardless of differences, the two films feature mirrored themes, and imply a sort of shared universe, where the events of one movie effect another. This theme was eventually continued when Argento told Mater Lachrymarum's story 27 years later in the form of his worst movie, Mother of Tears, though his protégé Luigi Cozzi had his own meta-textual take on the third story with The Black Cat (1989), a film only notable for the fact that it's even worse than Mother of Tears (see for yourself, it's on the Netflix Instant Watch queue).
But Inferno wasn't just the follow up to the surprisingly popular Suspiria, it was also the last film master director Mario Bava would ever work on. Mario Bava is credited by most as the real Godfather of Italian horror and fantasy cinema, and his films had a huge influence on Argento, Fulci, Soavi, Roger Corman, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, Sean Cunningham and Hideo Nakata. The director's strongest assists were his backgrounds in cinematography and special effects, both of which Argento needed him for in the case of Inferno. Bava's work on the film has been a constant source of disagreement between fans, experts, and even the cast and crew of the film, but it seems to have been firmly established that the Maestro created some of the film's more impressive miniatures (including the burning building seen just before the credits roll), and that he conceived of the mirror effects that define the film's climax. A true group effort, thanks to Argento's poor health at the time (how the man is still alive blows my mind considering all the sickness he's had to contend with in his life) the assistant director cast also included Blue Underground president, and director of Maniac Bill Lustig, Gianlorenzo Battaglia, and Bava's son Lamberto.
Curiously the three most fervently positive readings of Inferno have all come from British writers, which may suggest something incredible about the film's resonance with a UK audience, but I'm not sure what it is. Alan Jones' opinion on the subject is always in question considering his undying affection for all things Argento (and we love him for it, of course), but genre expert Kim Newman calls Inferno the director's best film in 'Nightmare Movies'. I've personally never held the film in the same regard as Suspiria, Deep Red or Bird with the Crystal Plumage, but Newman's words have made me readily revisit the film at least a dozen times. The other British writers that praised the hell out of the thing were our own Wilson Brothers, whose review of the Arrow Blu-ray release can be read here. I also see that UK movie mag Total Film named Inferno number 35 of the 50 best horror films of all time. Perhaps it is the fact that the film was one of only two Argento films (the other one being Tenebre) to be banned during the Video Nasties craze, but something clearly makes the film connect with fans from the region.
There are some flat-out pedestrian bits throughout the film that even mega-fans can't help but giggle at, though nothing stands out as downright painful as the tarantula sequence in Fulci's The Beyond. I'm specifically thinking of a scene where Daria Nicolodi is pelted by cats, that are meant to be attacking her, but are clearly being tossed by stagehands from the left and right of the camera. Rather than tearing Nicolodi's flesh from her bones, the cats immediately spring away from the actress in utter terror. Argento also pays homage to himself on several occasions, a habit he never really managed to overcome through his career, though some critics have referred to these moments as a more acceptable case of obsessively trying to get an image or idea out of his system. The most striking of these redos is a stunning replay of his 'dark room lit by a single doorway' gag from Bird with the Crystal Plumage, delegated to pretty much the same place it appears in that film. The previously discussed cat drowning scene also appears to be in reference to the feline eating starving artist in BwtCP, who bags and traps the cats around his villa. More pertinent to Inferno are the replays of some of Suspiria's sequences, most noticeable being a new version of the wacky cab ride Suzy Bannion took through German streets. For the record, Argento remembered to echo similar scenes when he completed his Three Mothers Trilogy with Mother of Tears, but it was a pretty pale shadow, and I continue to recommend people don't watch that particular film.
Inferno was, for whatever reason, the second hardest Argento flick to find on VHS in AZ. Only one store carried the Key Video release, and it was almost always checked out, so when this new fangled internet thing came around I was excited to purchase a copy from something called 'ebay'. Despite not being widescreen, this video release always looked pretty good, but this didn't stop me from being first in line when Anchor Bay finally released the film on DVD (despite box art claims, the VHS release was always uncut and uncensored, so this wasn't really part of the draw). Several years later Blue Underground re-released the same DVD, and the same perfectly capable SD transfer under their banner. These discs looked good, but there was always room for improvement. Unaware that Blue Underground had Inferno on their upcoming docket, I ordered the Arrow UK release about a week before the studio's release announcement. I'm an obsessive enough Argento collector to not be too broken up about the extra expenditure, and the gaff has given me the chance to directly compare the two releases. The Arrow release looks pretty great, good enough to imply that there wasn't a lot of room for improvement. On the whole, this Blue Underground version, which is remastered from an original, uncut negative, holds the advantage, but not so extreme an advantage that UK readers should necessarily feel the need to own a second Blu-ray copy.
I'm working through most of my comparison from the film's opening up to the end of the famed underwater sequence. The first and most obvious difference between the two versions is the slight increase in sharpness on the pen script as it's scribbled onto the page. The whole film is shot using relatively soft focus, so needle sharp details aren't an ultra important piece of this puzzle, but in these major close-ups there are differences to be discovered. More detail can also be seen in the underwater shots, which have always been murky enough to bury some of the more intricate props and set pieces. Because of the lack of sharp focus throughout, the much more important factor here is colour. The colour quality is pretty similar between the two discs, though the increased sharpness of the Blue Underground release leads to some tighter edges, and more expressive highlights. Argento and cinematographer Romano Albani set pink and blue as the 'theme' colours for the bulk of the film, though green and yellow make a pretty fair showing as well. The pink here is slightly redder than the Arrow release, which tends to lean towards orange. The climatic fire sequence is also more impressive on this disc, featuring harsher contrast between the bright flames and deep surrounding blacks. These scenes are pretty blown out on the original DVD releases. There is a haze of grain over the entire film, but nothing compared to previous releases, which mixed with the lower resolution always made more a somewhat chunky looking experience. There are some minor edge haloes peppered throughout both transfers, but nothing debilitating to the overall image quality.
In terms of DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks the Blue Underground and Arrow releases are close to identical, despite the BU's disc's 7.1 advantage. The surround remix matches the original Anchor Bay Dolby Digital release pretty closely, though the extra two channels add a bit more depth (even on my 5.1 set up). The lack of compression is pretty obvious when compared to the DVD release. Besides improved volume levels, there are minor details that go missing on the traditional DD tracks. The best sequence for surround sound possibilities is once again the underwater scene, where the eerie sound of popping bubbles can be heard floating throughout the channels. Neither track really takes full advantage of the possibility, but do offer some neat directional effects during the following sequence when wind bursts through a widow and whisks around the classroom. All the dialogue was recorded in post, as was the practice in Italy at the time, so performances are often flattened, lips don't match up to words, and volume levels are inconsistent, but overall clarity is perfectly fine.
Keith Emmerson's prog rock soundtrack doesn't ever equate Goblin's near perfect Deep Red and Suspiria scores, or even Morricone's genre defining Bird with the Crystal Plumage fusion jazz, but Argento uses traditional classical cues in impressive ways he hasn't managed before or since (as the Wilson Bros bemoaned in their review of the Arrow release, Argento would use disco for Tenebre, and metal for Phenomena following this release). My favourite instance is one where a skipping series of power outages disturbs the rhythm of Verdi's "Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate". This creates possibly the most intense pre-murder atmosphere in the entire Argento catalogue. The music works very well for the surround sound format, and is sonically more aggressive than most era horror output. Emmerson's coolest contribution, and the 5.1 track's loudest moment is a prog-rock version of "Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate", set to a different time signature during the cab riding scene.
The Arrow release pretty clearly wins the extra features battle, but there are a few new bits on this disc. 'Art and Alchemy' (15:00, HD) is an interview with lead actor Leigh McCloskey, who covers his early acting career, his thoughts on Argento, his work in Inferno, Inferno's effect on his fine art career (and shows us his art, which includes his entire house), and the film's cult fan base. 'Reflections of Rose' (13:30, HD) is an interview with actress Irene Miracle, the actress at the beginning of the film that swims in the underground room. She discusses her pre-acting career as a dance teacher, meeting Michelangelo Antonioni, working on Aldo Lado's Night Train Murders and Alan Parker's Midnight Express, and Argento's frustrating direction, reaction to her minor health problems (he assumed she was dying), and his constant violent fighting with Daria Nicolodi. Extras are completed with an interview with Argento and assistant director Lamberto Bava (8:20, SD), which has been available since the original Anchor Bay DVD release, and the original trailer. Interestingly Argento states that Irene Miracle was hired because she was a synchronized swimmer, but Miracle herself doesn't mention this, leading me to believe that the story is just more of the director's patented bullshit. Also included is a trailer, and an Argento bio.
The long and the short of it is this – fans that own a Blu-ray player need to update their DVD copies, but the differences between this and the Arrow Blu-ray release are so close in image and sound quality that I don't see any need for those of us not suffering debilitating obsessive compulsive disorder not to just stick with the Arrow release. Of course, those of us in the US that bought the Arrow release are already OCD enough to have ordered the disc from overseas, so I can't imagine we won't buy both versions. The Arrow release has better (somewhat overrated) extras, and Blue Underground head honcho Bill Lustig, who actually filmed second unit for Argento in New York, doesn't offer a commentary or interview for his release, but frankly I found both releases thin in terms of supplements. Now join me in my Suspiria/ Inferno Blu-ray double feature, which culminates in pretending Mother of Tears was never made.

Nope. I bought a multi-region player and special ordered it from the UK. Last I heard the Weinsteins had the rights, and based on their release history I'm assuming we'll see it on US Blu-ray about a week after hell freezes over.
Wait, did the US actually get a Blu-Ray release of SUSPIRIA?
I do have a soft spot for Trauma (probably the performances and the fact that it was filmed here), and really root for Stendhal Syndrome, even though it's terribly uneven, and occasionally just terrible.
Non Ho Sonno is far and away the best of his post-Opera output; it has a vibe that harks back to some of his older work and is bolstered by a sterling turn from the ever-reliable Max Von Sydow. The fact that Goblin were reunited was just another reason to love the thing.
Tenebre mostly works, yes, but even though I love Opera, the storyline drives me mad. It's just so stupid at times. The big plan to catch the killer is such a joke. Non Honno Sonno (however you spell it) is a pretty solid in terms of the story actually making sense, even if the movie isn't fantastic.
Tenebre holds together pretty well and the pacing's fine, Gabe.
It's when it comes to Phenomena that Argento's cinematic sensibilities begin to shake themselves apart. The only film that could be considered "classic" Argento afterwards is Opera, even though it is a little flawed.

I do honestly feel that the lack of traditional plotting in Inferno is very much done on purpose, but Argento's later movies are more a case of him losing his grasp on narrative, and I'll always suspect his success with Suspiria and Inferno is to blame.
I really enjoyed your review, Gabe. I'm a big fan of the Wilson Brother's writing, but I preferred your review on this one for your objectivity. I found Inferno a little impenetrable which is why their review didn't make heads nor tales to me. That's not necessarily a criticism, it's just that as a newbie to Inferno I was more puzzled then enthralled.
I have a theory about this... I think it's because of the order in which I'm viewing Argento's films for the first time. The more plot driven thrillers are the ones I started off with but then as they get more fantastical, I feel a little lost. I'm starting to come to terms with the more 'dreamlike' films.
After reading your review, and bearing in mind the Wilson's admiration for this film (and I respect and 9.5 times out of 10 agree with them), I think I'll give this another spin when I get through watching some fanedits I recently got a hold of.

Do You Like Hitchcock isn't very good. I was too kind when I reviewed it a million years ago. Deep Red ties Suspiria for my favorite, so I can't wait for that release in May.
Mother Of Tears didn't bug me as much as it did you. I do need to watch Inferno and a few other Argento films still, but I'm always amazed by the Argento films I have already seen so far (still haven't seen the Hitchcock one even though it is part of five disc Argento set I bought).

If a Previous Top 20 winner is ranked in the current Top 20 Bouvier rankings, that dog is ineligible to compete but may be showcased for exhibition only.
In the event of the death of a Top 20 finalist, they will be recognized. And, the next ranked Bouvier, i.e., #21, will be included for invitation to the event.
A finalist will only be allowed to compete if the owner or agent attends the pre-event briefing held prior to the event (ideally, earlier in the day of the event.
THE JUDGES – ELIGIBILITY and SELECTION:
No judges or member of their immediate household or immediate family shall have owned or co-owned any qualifying Bouvier, have held any qualifying Bouvier under lease or bred or co-bred any qualifying Bouvier.
No judge or member of their immediate household or immediate family, for a period of one year prior to the Top 20, shall have exhibited any qualifying Bouvier.
Nomination of Judges:
Selected judges' names will be kept strictly CONFIDENTIAL until the day of the event. The judges will be required to sign a document that swears them to secrecy. If a judge violates this agreement, they will be disqualified, and the Top 20 Chairperson will secure the judge that had the next highest number of votes. One steward will be selected for each judge by the Top 20 Committee Chairperson.
The Committee will select one individual judge from each of the following categories:
A. HANDLER. A past or present professional handler, with demonstrated credibility in the breed, and has a minimum of 10 years as a professional handler.
B. BREEDER. An established Bouvier des Flandres breeder who has been breeding for a minimum of 10 years, having bred or co-bred at least 5 Champions of Record as published in the AKC Awards and who may or may not be an AKC approved judge for Bouviers.
C. MULTI-BREED AKC APPROVED JUDGE. An AKC approved judge that is approved to judge Bouviers and at least 4 other breeds in any Group.
Score sheets and each dog's total score are tabulated by the Top 20 Committee or a Top 20 Committee member in the following manner:
1. The scores for each dog from each of the three judges score sheets are tabulated, added together, then divided by three to determine the 'Average Final Placement Score'. The dog with the highest Average Placement Score will be declared the winner.
2. Immediately following the completion of judging, the judges' score sheets will be tabulated by the Committee with the winner being announced at the discretion of the Top 20 Committee, within the following time frame – immediately following the Event, at the Awards Banquet, or following the Best of Breed Competition.
3. In the event of a tie in the Average Placement Scores, the winner will be determined using a calculation of the 'Average Overall Impression Score'. If a tie exists between two dogs in the Average Overall Impression Score, there will be two winners.
a. Overall Impression Score. The Judges' first impression of a dog upon entering the ring, prior to the examination, and is based on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the highest score. The judge must look at the dog as a whole and place the dog on his/her scale. The score of a perfect 10 would indicate that the dog is in perfect harmony with the judge's picture of the ideal Bouvier. The Average Overall Impression Score is calculated by averaging the three judges Overall Impression Score of each dog.
b. Dogs will be called in one at a time by armband number, circle the ring once and stop in front of the three judges. Dogs will free stack and then quarter turn to the right three times. The Judges will assign their Overall Impression Score.
c. After the judges have assigned their Overall Impression Score, the handler will be asked to move their dog down and back on the diagonal twice, and then asked to circle the ring completely two times, stopping in front of their assigned station – 1, 2, or 3. Judges will assign their score for gait and movement.
d. Steps a, b, c are repeated for each dog in that grouping of three.
e. With 3 dogs at their respective stations, the judges now begin the individual examination of each dog, rotating until each dog has been evaluated by each judge.
f. The above steps will be repeated for each grouping of three bouviers until all dogs competing have been evaluated. After the last grouping of dogs have been judged and exited the ring, all of the Top 20 competitors and dogs will re-enter the ring, one at a time, making one full circle, and then making a final exit.
g. Handlers will be permitted at this time to rest the dogs backstage for approximately 15 minutes.
h. Handlers and dogs will be called back into the ring individually (name of the dog, owners, breeders, and handler will be announced). They will come to the middle of the ring to accept their rosette, make a half circle of the ring, and end up in a line at the designated end of the ring.
i. The presentation to the winner may be made at this time.
4. While in the ring, a judge's conversation with their stewards must be confined to questions of procedure.
5. The Top 20 Committee Chairperson, a designated Top 20 Committee Member, an ABdFC Club Officer, or ABdFC Board Member will present the winner with the Winner's Award / Ribbon.
NOTIFICATION and INVITATION for TOP 20 PARTICIPATION:
Emails will be sent to the primary owner of record (as recognized by the AKC) of the Top 20 qualifiers containing the Top 20 RSVP sheet and Instructions for Advertising in the Top 20 Catalog. These are TIME SENSITIVE documents that must be completed accurately, and returned on or before the stated deadline. The owner's failure to meet these deadlines will result in only the dog's name and listed owners appearing in the Top 20 catalog.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hailed the fighting qualities of his side as super-sub Javier Hernandez inspired them to a come-from-behind 3-2 win at Aston Villa.
Two goals from Villa striker Andreas Weimann put the home side in control early in the second period. But Hernandez, a half-time replacement for Ashley Young, scored twice and saw his shot deflect off Villa skipper Ron Vlaar for the other United goal.
Ferguson said: "It reminded us of a cup game here a few years ago when we were 2-0 down. I think Van Nistelrooy scored a couple and we won 3-2."

I think one of the most important things you can do is take the advice printed on the back cover of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in large red comforting letters: DON'T PANIC.
Despite all evidence to the contrary, despite firsthand accounts from traumatised ex-interviewees (myself included) and despite the horror stories circulating, the interview really isn't going to look like this:
Rather, you'll be interviewed by this nice man, who is going to sit you down, look at your form, dig your mind, and find out how you think and what makes you tick. So take a deep breath, stretch your eyelashes (even if you're a guy. it's how I got in anyway. take eyelash-batting lessons, they help you get ahead in life) and, of course, Don't Panic.
The other thing I'm worried about is that some people, for reasons beyond my mortal understanding, are so fixated on getting into Cambridge that they're sure their lives will be over if they don't. Now why they think that, despite having read my tales of misery from this crazy crazy town, is beyond me. Newsflash: Not getting into Cambridge ISN'T the end of the world, folks. In fact, plenty of people don't get in every year, and go on to become very successful in their own universities and indeed in life. And if you think I'm bullshitting (which I often am, but hey, it got me where I am today), I've taken the liberty of digging up some famous Oxbridge rejects. Even gifted students get rejected. This guy's spectacle thickness alone probably qualifies him as Oxbridge material. But some Oxbridge rejects are a lot more positive; this forum was set up by a Durham student who obviously enjoys pressing the ? and ! keys on his keyboard a little too much. And even getting straight A's doesn't guarantee you'll get in; in fact Dr Navaratnam admitted to me during my recent interview with him that Cambridge makes mistakes just like any other university...they sometimes let very good students go.
But what I like about this girl is that instead of seeing her rejection as a setback, she used it as a stepping-stone to boost her motivation. Heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned by Oxbridge. Or something like that.
Despite success in her exams, she was "devastated" when she was rejected from Trinity College, as it had always been her dream to study at Cambridge.Spoken like a true soldier. Now there's a woman who's going to go to Stockholm someday.
However, the rejection has not thwarted her determination.
She pledged to become the second woman in history to win the Nobel peace prize.
"I don't want to be a normal doctor, I want to do something great," she said.
So there ya go. Take a deep breath, believe in yourselves, keep a calm mind, and tell yourself it doesn't matter. You have to enjoy the challenge if you're going to survive through such a tough course. Otherwise, of course, you'll end up like me, who in the middle of a what was possibly the lengthiest most boring Pathology lecture in the history of mankind, scribbled the following in absolute desperation on my notes and pushed it to the supermodel sitting next to me, who for some strange reason looked at me fearfully and promptly got up to find another seat:
Do drop me an e-mail at angrymedic [at] gmail [dot] com and tell me how it went. Laugh, cry, curse, bawl your eyes out, anything. I'm bound by UK law not to divulge anything you tell me. Besides, you're probably doing both of us a favour and keeping me from jumping off the Bridge of Sighs into the River Cam.
Good luck!
And hey, remember, if it doesn't work out, you can always get the t-shirt! Apparently they're quite in vogue around here :)

Getting to strut their stuff
New London — Samantha Latham was ready to rock on Saturday, prepped to sing her country version of a Carrie Underwood song at the third annual Youth Talent Show at the Garde Arts Center.
Nervous, maybe. Excited, definitely.
"New London is a great place," Samantha, or Sammy E, as she is known on stage, said. "I've made a lot of friends from participating in the show. It brings the community together and makes people know each other more."
Samantha, 11, of Montville was one of 27 young adults ages 11 to 25 who took the stage on Saturday night and left all they had on the floor.
They had been rehearsing since early November, as many as three or four times a week for two to three hours a day.
Before the show began, the performers buzzed about backstage, munching on sandwiches and cookies, chugging Gatorade and checking their cellphones to keep up with their friends on social media.
Some of the performers seemed too nervous to eat. Others practiced their talents by quietly singing to themselves, practicing with a partner or relaxing on a couch.
Either way, they had to be ready. It was show time.
Maurice Steele and Estefano Anguita, or "Moe Steele & Stef Anguita," had more than just a performance on the line Saturday. They were also selling their first album, "The Initiative," after the show. It took them six months to record the 11 tracks on the CD, and Anguita was hopeful their performance would help move some of their records.
Also for the first time, Anguita, 19, of Groton, was making his debut as a singer with Steele.
"I'm nervous, but as soon as I get the mic in my hand, I'll be all right," he said.
He said that he and Steele, 19, of New London, had been friends since childhood.
"We started in church when we were little because that was the biggest crowd we could get," Anguita said. "I used to rap, but I didn't like it that much, but I finally got enough confidence to sing. We hope to make it to bigger and bigger audiences."
The talent show on Saturday came on the heels of back-to-back sentencings of five of the six young men convicted in the murder of Matthew Chew, a cook who worked at 2Wives Brick Oven Pizza.
Chew was jumped by the group of six teenagers and fatally stabbed while walking home from work in downtown New London on Oct. 29, 2010.
The murder, which shook the community, was the genesis for the talent show, which was aimed at keeping Chew's memory alive and shedding a positive light on the youth of New London and the surrounding communities.
One of the talent show coordinators, Susan Asselin-Connolly, said the recent sentencings stirred the pot on the negativity that surrounded Chew's death and the misconceptions about New London's youth.
"All of the negativity just started the groundswell. We have to be reminded about who these kids are, remind the kids what this is all about," Connolly said. "At the final rehearsal, we had a moment, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. They know what it's about."

text: The biggest problem with the Sony surrounds the mounts, not only the lack of choice but also the shape and design of the supplied case. The fact that it completely blocks off the microphone, can't be tilted up or down, can't be mounted to the side of things, but is also too long and tall to be mounted on the top of a helmet means that the Sony ultimately fails as an action cam. I will be experimenting with finding some way to attach the camera to my bike helmet whilst also recording sound through the mic-in socket…. but I'm really more interested in using this as a general purpose mini camera. For example when I was shooting another review over Christmas it turned out to be the most suitable camera I owned for filming inside the cramped interior of the car when I needed to demonstrate how a Car DVR mounted to the windscreen. I'm also looking forward to getting the Camcorder type mount if/when it is released. This apparently adds both an LCD screen and a much needed tripod hole to the camera. I should mention again the low light recording capabilities which are really amazing and the best I've ever experienced in any camera.

Pasta carbonara is one of those dishes that I think is really overrated, meaning you DO NOT have to spend an obscene amount of money on it at a restaurant! The ingredients are so simple and inexpensive and it really is easy to make.
After making some for dinner the other night I was inspired to make a version that my son can enjoy too. Pasta carbonara calls for pancetta (which I think can be quite difficult for baby to chew on once cooked), raw eggs and sometimes heavy cream. I thought of a version that I could still call "carbonara" yet make baby-friendly at the same time.
Here's what I came up with...I know my son enjoyed it so I hope your baby does too! (Note: my son likes his pasta so this yields only 2 servings for him! If your baby isn't such a fan try reducing the recipe by half as it's best not to freeze this one!)
(Makes about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 slice of prosciutto (finely chopped or just torn into small pieces)
2 cooked egg yolks
1 Laughing Cow cheese (or 1-2oz of another soft cheese)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1/2 cup spaghetti (or another small pasta such as orzo, macaroni, shells, etc.)
1/2 pasta cooking water
In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil. If using spaghetti, break off 1-2 inch pieces (no larger-remember they'll expand!) and add to the water. Cook according to package instructions.
*TIP: I usually cook my pasta 1-2 minutes under the recommended time so it stays "al dente" but in this case it's better to cook it for slightly longer so the pasta becomes very soft thus easier for baby to chew.
In the meantime, heat oil in a small saucepan on medium heat for 1 minute. Add finely chopped onions and cook for 5-7 minutes or until translucent. (If the onions start to brown just turn down the heat to medium-low or low.)
Add the prosciutto and cook for 1-2 minutes or until it becomes slightly translucent.
*TIP: If the pasta is not ready take the onions and prosciutto off the heat otherwise they will continue to cook and possibly burn!
Drain the pasta...and don't forget to set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water!)
Add pasta to the onions and prosciutto in the pan (now on on low heat) then add the egg yolks, cheese, and 1/4 cup of cooking water.
Stir for about 2 minutes or until everything is well amalgamated and the cheese has melted. If the pasta is too dry just add 1 tbsp. at a time of the cooking liquid to the pan and stir in well.
*TIP: Once removing off the heat remove the pasta immediately from the pan, otherwise it will continue to cook and become dry.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

The Government have issued a discussion paper summarising how the business rates system in England works and opens up a discussion with stakeholders on longer-term administrative reform. The Chamber may respond to this between now and next Friday, 6 June 2014
Hadleigh's BIG LUNCH is on the 1st June 2014
Come & Join us for the BIG lunch
Hadleighs Free Family Event
There have been a substantial number of changes to Hadleigh and immediate surrounds in the last few years, not the least for businesses being the arrival of Morrisons and the Brett Works decsion.
We now have an opportunity to share our thoughts and ideas on how planning should move forward and help "shape and deliver a vision for the town".
Chaired by District Cllr Brian Riley we now have a Hadleigh Steering Group and it is due to meet for the first time very early in January 2014.
On Saturday, January 4th 2014 Cashmobs Suffolk - a new community initiative to stimulate our flagging High Streets - is coming to Hadleigh.
Struggling shops get our sympathy. Huge multinationals moving into our local area raises our ire and anger at the destruction of the local economy. We complain on social media and decry the decline to our friends. But what do we actually DO about it?
Cash mobs actually go beyond our online complaints. Cash mobs use actual hard cash, spent in a local shop.
Tesco have this afternoon issued a statement that they do not intend mounting an appeal to the latest planning application refusal.
They go on to explain that they own much of the land in question ad look forward to discussing how the land can be used with both the Council and the Community.
Residents in a Suffolk market town have received a Christmas boost after it has been announced an additional bus service will run throughout the festive season.
Do you or any of your staff drive as part of their work? This could be someone on the way to a training course or a delivery driver or even you going to meeting.
AGM on 20 November 2013 at Priory Hall - 5:45 for 6pm start - just time to get yourself a glass of wine to support you through the Presidents presentation and elections.
We'll recap on the Brett Works, receive nominations and elect people to join the Commitee and hopefully get your idea and thoughts for 2014 - not just Retail though.
The team at Free Rein are celebrating their achievements after Mark and Jeff both achieved personal best times at yesterday's National Lottery Anniversary Run at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London.Mark got around in a very respectable time of 48 minutes, with Jeff a little bit further back at 56 minutes.
This is your opportunity to engage with the PCC and the Chief Constable, to have your say or just listen. Tim Passmore and Ian Paxman will be holding public meetings in the Autumn.
Please complete this short form if you would like to be added to the mailing list for events, meetings and news

daemons-mikehale 18.104.22.168
This is Daemons 1.0.10 with the addition of Chris Kline's fix from http://blog.rapleaf.com/dev/?p=19 Includes ability to change the process uid/gid. Also logdir can be specified seperate from piddir. Daemons provides an easy way to wrap existing ruby scripts (for example a self-written server) to be run as a daemon and to be controlled by simple start/stop/restart commands. If you want, you can also use daemons to run blocks of ruby code in a daemon process and to control these processes from the main application. Besides this basic functionality, daemons offers many advanced features like exception backtracing and logging (in case your ruby script crashes) and monitoring and automatic restarting of your processes if they crash. Daemons includes the daemonize.rb script written by Travis Whitton to do the daemonization process.

sMonitor displays debuffs, buffs, and cooldowns in bar or icon form.
This is unusual because most addons do not give the ability to track both buffs/debuffs and cooldowns, and this allows for a unified look and feel.
Configuration is done in Lua, but is reasonably straightforward, often as simple as copy/paste. This method gives more control over positioning, as well as simplifying setup across multiple characters for instance, I use the same setup for tracking pvp buffs on my targets across multiple characters for defensive cooldowns, as well as a few dangerous offensive buffs.
In bar form, I decided to hardcode the look and feel of the cooldown bars, so the buff/debuff bars and cooldown bars do not look the same.
sMonitor was originally a fusion of sFilter, sFilter2, and KordaCooldown, although they have been localized for English, and modified extensively.
sMonitor includes sample configurations for Enhancement Shaman, and Feral Druids.
Documentation for what options are allowed for each bar/icon is above each array in the lua files. This was originally written for my own use, but feel free to ask questions in the comments.
I plan to eventually update this with a nicer configuration as well, but this is working correctly in the meantime.

Clayton, NJ

|New in ACID PRO 4.0
Having had ACID here since the 1st days of ACID 1.0, I have watched the program grow considerably since its debut. When it was first released ACID was a revolutionary, "dream-come true" program. For the 1st time on the PC one could assemble loops into arrangements on a grid and have each loop adjust automatically to the project tempo and key. Up until the release of ACID, these functions could only be done in expensive hardware digital samplers and took a lot of mathematical tweaking to time stretch the loops so they would lock. Acid breathed new life into those writing techno, trance, DnB and other loop based forms of electronica.
|Mini screenshot of a portion of Acid's screen. You can extend ACID to a dual monitor for a very large workspace. (click to enlarge)
Do not be fooled by the fact that you can go to a major department store and find versions of ACID DJ, and other Acid starter versions available inexpensively. You might delude yourself into thinking that ACID is a program for kids, and think that it cannot possibly be a serious application for music like Logic or Cubase, or Sonar. Here's something you might not have known. ACID is used in some of the top studios and yes, people everyday are making bushels full of money using it. Lets say you are a composer doing TV commercials and you have five 60-second projects due in 2 days.
Can you pull this off?. Maybe by working around the clock 48 hours you might get close, but you'll pay with your health, damaged relations with the significant other (means more expensive gifts) ah, the list goes on. You could have done much better off buying ACID Pro and buying all the royalty free loop libraries. The cool thing about ACID is how fast you can assemble a project, render it down, and finish it. You could conceivable get down a 60 second clip in a few hours, not a few days. You actually could meet a 48 hour deadline for 5 TV spots. After you add effects and a unique midi track or two, no ones going to know you made your cool sounding clips in ACID. Except maybe the other studio tweaks doing it too.
Works with ACID 4.0
The Celestial Windowpane was developed at TweakHeadz Lab and contains 650 megs of space-oriented dance and electronic loops. Listen to a demo
The New 4.0 features:
|The Competition
|Ableton LIVE 24-Bit Recording Software (Macintosh and Windows) Live is an audio sequencer that you can play like an instrument. Whether on its own or with other musicians or DJs, live on stage or when remixing in the studio, all you need is Live and a Mac or PC. Tweak: The LIVE is a loop sequencer that works inside Cubase SX. If you have lots of audio loops, check it out. Read my review
I'm just going to give you my initial observations on some of these features, which you can see in the sidebar. The most important, IMHO, is the MIDI implementation. You might ask why a loop audio sequencer even needs it, and whether Sonar might be more appropriate for the job of combining loops and midi. Is not Sonic Foundry encroaching on Sonar's territory here? Yes they are. Are they close to what Sonar can do with MIDI? Nope! Not even in the same ballpark. Or the same universe.
In terms of MIDI handling, ACID is extremely basic. You can do piano roll editing, event list editing and step recording, and you can record midi in real time, edit velocity with the mouse, but that's about where it ends for now. Forget about extensive controller mapping, program changing, groove quantizing or other things you expect a fill blown midi sequencer to have. What you do get is basic MIDI recording functionality.
But in many projects, that is all one needs. The new midi recording features essentially free you of a dependence on loops for basslines, arpeggios, pads, solos--OK you got it. The best part is that it works with soft synths. So if you want a killer trance bassline, stop looking for loops, roll your own with the FM7, Pro 52, Kontakt, whatever VSTi you can get running. (Note: not all work--see below) You can point ACID to look in any VSTplugins folder on your system, so if you are already using Logic or Cubase, then your whole setup ports in.
|Time Out!
What is a plugin? A plugin is a small program that is inserted on a track or mix bus that act just like a hardware effects box. For more on plugins, see my plugin page.
Are ACID Loops different than Wave files? Can I use Wave files in Acid? A file is "acidiized" when it has a software flag that says how many measures the loop is and what key it is in and whether it is a one shot, or looping file. The program will guess how many measures a non acidized file it and does it really well. You can adjust these parameters in Acid and resave these files to acidize them, or you can use sound forge to do it too. You can use any standard wave file in acid.
Are all your Celestial Windowpane Loops 100% acidized? Yes. The product works perfectly in all versions of ACID.
Do you have any tips for building unique sounds in ACID? But if course! Here's my ACID tips page
|Go to Tweak's ACID PLANET Site
These some new stuff going on with Plugins
in Acid 4. Most notable are the automatable effects. There
is a flange/wah, 4 band parametric EQ and best of all a resonant filter. The
filter is really nice. Easy to automate. It's not going the rival the Ableton's
effects, but its pretty cool to finally get some filter sweeping done in Acid. For
those of you with Waves plugins, a nice bonus is that the Waves Doppler, L1 Untramaximizer
+, the RComp and Trueverb are automatable as well. By the way, all my Waves
plugins can be used in ACID. Additionally, if you have Sound Forge 6, you
can use any of the plugin chains you made in Acid. Magically, these show up
in the well organized plugin list.
Acid 4.0 also features ASIO support, no
doubt to help users run their VSTi's in ACID with as little latency as possible.
On my system, using a delta 1010, which works excellently in many asio driven applications,
the results have not been stellar. I am experiencing clicks and pops when
moving or resizing windows and have had a few crashes that I think I can attribute
to the asio driver. The Windows "classic" driver, which appears to actually pass
the audio to the Delta WDM driver in my case, works better. Performance on
my SBLive is very good if not using soft synths.
Perhaps the coolest new feature in ACID 4 is that you can use it to make and render surround source tracks. With the new surround features enough to verify that I can move files to the front, back, corners of a 3 dimensional listening area. And guess what, it works well! This feature can be mind blowing for those with surround capable soundcards who have never tried it before. A true delight. If you get the optional surround 5.1 plugin pack from sonic foundry, you can render your surround mixes to DVDR with full dolby digital sound. Amazing huh? And you thought this was a program for kids!
The Competition
Acid's main competition comes from the Ableton Live. Read my review. I can't do an exhaustive comparison here, but I will tell you what I think on the most basic of basics level. Ease of Use: Acid has a much more friendly interface. The Live is less intuitive though perhaps more powerful MIDI: The Live uses midi to trigger loops in real time. Acid uses MIDI traditionally, to record and play MIDI notes. Effects: The Live has interesting, effects and they automate intuitively. The Live lets you use VST plugins.
Acid comes with some sonic foundry plugins and lets you us DX plugins. Arrangement: Acid has a better way to get loops into the program. The Live is a little awkward, IMHO. But the Live lets you put different loops on the same track. Acid does not. Mixer: Acid has an easy to understand mixer with definable busses. The Live mixer is very basic. ACID lets you use VSTi's. The Live does not. In Use: The Live has a light feel that lets you work fast. This lets you manipulate and transform your mix in real time, usually without glitches. Acid feels heavier to use, more geared towards creating a finished product, with lots of export possibilities, including CD Burning.
Things to watch out for: (i.e., things you might expect to work that do not)
Acid 4.0 does not work with Native's Dynamo. That's excusable, as Dynamo has badly needed an update for a long time. Multiple VST outputs are not supported. Lets hope they figure that one out. Battery, when used in Acid, may have problems on win 98se and WinME.. Absynth may have MIDI input problems. There is a note that if you are using an Audigy card that you may need to disable other soundcards (!) on your computer (I did not find this to be true with my SB Live). As I wrote above, there is an issue using ASIO with M-Audio delta cards. (No big loss, the windows classic driver works OK).
Oh, one more thing. Sonic Foundry has a way of telling you to contact "the other manufacturer" when there is a software conflict with other applications, plugins, hardware drivers. Is this Elitism? Does everyone else have to change because Sonic Foundry is the only company that does its coding right? This "blaming the other guy" has got to go in this business. It sure would be nice if software/hardware makers all worked together before a product release to ensure compatibility. After all, it is in both manufacturers' interests to do so. And definitely in the consumer's interest. My friends, we must insist that companies communicate better rather than enlisting us to do their dirty laundry. To Sonic Foundry's credit, they do tell you the known issues in their products. Its far worse when a software maker does not.
Update: M-audio has now fixed their drivers so the issues no longer occur. Yay!
In the balance
Definitely a worthy upgrade if you are already using ACID pro. If you need tools for fast, efficient construction of loop based compositions, ACID is the way to go. The good stuff is all here. Fast creation of music, export to wave, mp3 and other formats. You can track alongside a video file, make a surround mix, go crazy with automation.
You can find out more about ACID 4.0 at Sonic Foundry's Site It's available in packaged or downloadable form.
All the best,

For Frank Picozzi, Christmas starts on Thanksgiving night.
Actually, he spends most of the year preparing for his favorite holiday.
"I really love Christmas, and I always did," he said. "I got that from my late mom. When you're a kid, it's just magic."
And 2013 has been no different. For the sixth year in a row, Picozzi is creating a winter wonderland display at his home at 75 Gristmill Road. The show, which will take place each night, is synchronized to music. Viewers are encouraged to tune in to 97.1 FM to follow along.
While this year's display features classic Picozzi props, including a 23-foot-tall tree of lights and three 14-foot-tall electronic fireworks with old-fashioned incandescent lights, Picozzi has a few tricks up his sleeve to keep viewers interested.
"I don't ever want this to get stale, so I have to come up with new stuff," he said. "People have always enjoyed it, but this year is going to be spectacular."
Picozzi is using cutting edge technology. Some of the equipment is imported from China.
"These are surplus bulbs in those big signs you see in Tokyo or Times Square," he said, pointing to a light. "They are called pixels. Each one has its own small circuit board inside. I can control each individual bulb and turn it any color in the spectrum."
He began ordering the lights in January, placing several orders through the months. He didn't disclose how much each sale cost but said shipping fees were at least $120 per order.
"I spend every spare dollar I can," Picozzi said. "People love it and I feel like I should be doing it for them."
When he wasn't building, he was busy programming. He set the props up in his garage so he could see sequencing results and make adjustments.
"I used to have 400 circuits up until last year," said Picozzi. "Now, I have 4,000 circuits, so it's a lot more challenging to program and build. It takes me 10 times longer to program than it used to, but I have a lot more control. I can control every bulb."
The bulbs are incorporated on a giant light fan, which he plans to perch on the roof with the fireworks. He spent between 300 to 400 hours assembling it.
"It took forever," said Picozzi. "Then, I had to do my own wiring."
Other projects were also painstaking. He's grateful for his wife of more than 30 years, Kim, who made the process easier for him.
"She was my hero this year," he said. "When I put together the tree, the bulbs had to go on a vinyl strapping. Kim was kind enough to cut 3,950 four-inch pieces of electrical tape so I could wrap it. It took weeks."
Kim is happy to help. She, along with Picozzi, gets a thrill to see the hundreds of vehicles pull up to their home each night to view the display.
"I love it," she said. "I don't think people realize how hard he works on it."
But the hard work doesn't deter him. What used to be a hobby has morphed into a passion.
"Some people tell me that their kids will always remember it, and that touches me deeply," he said.
Picozzi said he and Kim get "thousands and thousands" of visitors each year. People send e-mails, Facebook messages, cards and notes, telling him that they look forward to it.
"I'm just an average blue collar guy and won't make any kind of mark on the world, but I can't think of any legacy I'd rather leave than being a part of someone's Christmas memories," he said. "I envision an 8-year-old coming to see my display this year and imagine him 25 years from now telling his 8-year-old about going every year to see [the] display. That motivates me and keeps me going."
Just don't ask him how much money he's spent on the display through the years, or how much his electric bill is during the holidays. He doesn't keep track on purpose.
"I'd be afraid to know," said Picozzi. "It's become expensive. Let's just say that I could buy a very nice car."
As he has done in the past, Picozzi will again set up a collection bucket for contributions, which he donates to non-profit organizations. The first four years, he gave $10,000 in donations to Neighbors Helping Neighbors. Last year, donations went to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity that grants wishes to children that have life-threatening illnesses. He plans to donate to Make-A-Wish this year, as well.
On Tuesday, he received a letter from Make-A-Wish, which noted that due to his contribution, the organization was able to grant a wish for a 3-year-old girl, Angeles, who has a heart condition and spends much of her time in hospitals going through treatment. Through his donation, she enjoyed a trip to Disney World with her family.
"It wasn't my generosity, it was the people that visited the display and donated," he wrote in a recent Facebook post. "I want to thank everyone that donated last year for making this little girl's wish come true. Let's do it again this year."
He's already got items on the roof, and is hopeful the weather cooperates. If it rains, he loses time to assemble the rest of the display, and snowstorms present even more problems.
"And then there are glitches to chase," Picozzi said. "When everything's all up, you have to tweak things. I need at least a couple of weeks for testing. I take a week off from work to get a large part of it finished."
Kim said their neighbors are supportive of the display. They never complain about the lights or the crowds it draws.
"Everybody around here is really wonderful about it," she said.
The first official night for viewing is Thanksgiving at 8:30 p.m., which will showcase a short, three-song preview. Until then, Picozzi will do his best to prevent neighbors from getting a sneak peak.
"He'll say, 'Stop peeking!'" Kim said.
Every night, the lights will go on at 5:30. On Sunday through Thursday, he turns them off at 9 p.m. They stay lit until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, with visits from Santa each Saturday night in December.

Ivy League Blazer
Added Dec 9, 2010
by erica-penton
Halifax, Canada
I wanted a jacket that looked scholarly or equestrian. This blazer is Simplicity 5935. I altered the pattern and took out the shoulder pads, the cuffs, and the fake-pockets (I hate those!). I think there are some mistakes in the pattern. I had to take in the sleeves two inches and I still have plenty of room to wear a sweater underneath. That said, it's fully lined and I love the pleat in the back. I was planning on the elbow patches from the beginning. I basically made the jacket just because I wanted patches!
Material Notes
I used a stretch brushed velvet, but it could be done using almost anything.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Charged Center Cut Hours of Pregnant Social Worker, Then Fired Her for Complaining
CHICAGO - In a lawsuit filed today in federal court, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged that Midway Neurological & Rehabilitation Center LLC, based in Bridgeview, Ill., violated federal law by discriminating against a pregnant social worker, first by cutting her hours because of her pregnancy, and then by firing her in retaliation for her filing a charge with EEOC.
Prior to filing the lawsuit, the agency conducted an administrative investigation, managed by EEOC District Director John P. Rowe. According to Rowe, Midway Neurological, after learning that one of its social workers was pregnant, allegedly first cut her hours and then, while she was out on maternity leave and after she filed an EEOC charge, fired her from her job.
"Our investigation showed that this company saw this employee as one who could be singled out for unfavorable treatment because she was pregnant," said Rowe. "This clearly violates federal law."
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA). The EEOC filed suit, EEOC v. Midway Neurological & Rehab Center (Civil Action No. 13 C 6542), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement through its statutory conciliation process. The case has been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Gary Feinerman and Magistrate Judge Michael T. Mason. The agency seeks back pay and compensatory and punitive damages for the former employee and an order barring future discrimination and other relief.
John Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney for its Chicago District Office said, "Long gone are the days when employers could target pregnant women for pay cuts because they were 'going to be out on leave anyway.' That's sex discrimination, and it's prohibited. Further, employers who fire workers in retaliation for filing EEOC charges only compound their culpability - and their troubles -- ending up with an EEOC lawsuit alleging not only sex discrimination but retaliation as well."
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

Former Jets QB Tim Tebow appears at college lecture but offers no insight into future plans
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. – Eleven days after he was cut by the New York Jets, Tim Tebow's future plans remain up in the air.
Tebow didn't offer any insight Thursday night during a roughly hour-long keynote address before a crowd of about 3,000 at Lake Michigan College. The lecture was part of the Economic Club of Southwest Michigan's annual speaker series, and Tebow had been booked last summer, when he was still an active NFL player.
Tebow accepted no questions from the press at the event, and was quickly whisked out a back door by police escort afterward.
Instead of discussing the past two weeks or his future, the 25-year-old spoke of his intensely competitive nature, his Christian faith and his love of family. He briefly touched upon his rookie season with the Broncos, when he led them to an improbable playoff win over the Steelers.

For being a computer user for about 7 years, I have done the whole bit of experimenting with virii, trojans, worms, etc.... But I am in the field which requires my knowledge to stop people like I once was. I have long stopped trying to be the "Computer Cracker" and want to start understanding security exploitation.
I know that everyone here has been a newbie and had to start somewhere. Any direction would be greatful.
