Valero Energy Corp Earnings: Two Straight Quarters of Profit Broken by a Loss
S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) component Valero Energy Corporation (NYSE:VLO) swung to a loss in the first quarter, missing analysts' forecast. Valero Energy is an independent refining and marketing company, which owns and operates refineries in the United States and Canada.
Investing Insights: What's the Future of Microsoft's Stock?
Valero Energy Earnings Cheat Sheet for the First Quarter
Results: Reported a loss of $432 million (78 cents per diluted share) in the quarter. Valero Energy Corporation had a net income of $98 million or 17 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter.
Revenue: Rose 33.7% to $35.17 billion from the year-earlier quarter.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Valero Energy Corporation fell short of the mean analyst estimate of 29 cents per share. It beat the average revenue estimate of $26.81 billion.
Quoting Management: "Given the high level of turnarounds and maintenance in the first quarter, we performed well and continued to execute our strategy," said Valero Chairman and CEO Bill Klesse. "We improved our refining system by starting the two hydrogen plants at McKee and Memphis, and we continued to advance our large projects. We also continued to work on our reliability with the extensive turnarounds that occurred in the first quarter, the recent replacement of the coker drums at St. Charles, and the McKee cat-cracker turnaround that is in progress."
Key Stats:
The company has seen double-digit year-over-year percentage revenue growth for the past five quarters. Over that span, the company has averaged growth of 49.9%, with the biggest boost coming in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year when revenue rose 86.4% from the year earlier quarter.
The company fell short of forecasts after beating estimates in the previous two quarters. In the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year, it topped the mark by 4 cents, and in the third quarter of the last fiscal year, it was ahead by 37 cents.
VLO ended a three-quarter streak of profits when it reported a loss in the latest quarter. The company reported a profit of $45 million in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year, a profit of $1.2 billion in the third quarter of the last fiscal year and $744 million in the second of the last fiscal year.
Looking Forward: Expectations for the company's next-quarter performance are higher than they were ninety days ago. Over the past three months, the average estimate for the second quarter has risen to $1.42 per share from $1.21. For the fiscal year, the average estimate has moved up from $3.53 a share to $3.74 over the last ninety days.

Chiefs and people of Kpenoe Traditional Area in the Ho Municipality of the Volta Region have petitioned the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to investigate the Ho Assembly over suspected misappropriation of a fund meant for furnishing a health post in their community.
They further urged the EOCO to ensure that those who are found culpable are made to face the full rigors of the law.
According to a petition signed by the paramount chief of the area, Togbe Kotoku XI, and intercepted by DAILY GUIDE, an amount of GH¢5,000.00, which was donated to the community by GOIL Ghana Limited through the Ho Municipal Assembly in August 2016 to equip the Kpenoe Community-based Health Planning Services (CHIPS) compound, could not be traced.
About three year ago, the Ho Municipal Assembly constructed a CHPS compound in the Kpenoe community to facilitate easy access to health and provide quality health care to the people.
Unfortunately, the facility became a white elephant due to the absence of furniture and equipment.
To this end, the community decided to come up with a Community Health Support Fund to raise money to furnish the facility.
They wrote letters and proposals to private and corporate entities to raise the funds to procure the necessary equipment to make the CHPS compound operational. For the purpose of accountability, the community decided that all funds be channeled through the assembly.
Missing Money
However, to the dismay of Togbe Kotoku XI and his people, the GH¢5,000 from GOIL is yet to reach the community, although the assembly has received the said amount.
Several attempts made to retrieve the money from the assembly, including follow-ups by the assemblyman of the area, Joshua Boatsie, had been fruitless as the assembly keeps giving excuses.
Togbe Kotoku himself followed up and met with the Presiding Member, Eric Bene and the Municipal Coordinating Director, Kwesi Thompson, in December 2016.
He was assured that the money would be made available, but that has not materialised.
Other meetings with the new Municipal Chief Executive, John Nelson Akorli and the Municipal Finance Officer, Daniel Nelson Dei, have not yielded any positive results, despite a promise that the money would be received by the end of January 2018.

<http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/ticket/306> IIRC we checked various implementations and found that many don't handle ETags as a quoted-string; therefore, the safe/sensible thing to do is to re-define ETag as a something else; i.e., something with the same syntax, but without any special semantic for backslashes. We might also caution against including backslashes in them in prose, since it isn't interoperable.

From the title page:
A competitive, in your face, testosterone fueled role playing experience in a brutal, over the top, desolate world of savagery and dark sorcery. Are you metal enough?
User description:
The game plays in a world called Abalahn, a dark fantasy setting dominated by the evil Witch Kings, where mankind slaughtered the gods and all sorcery draws upon the power of the soul (typically someone else's). Although some "canonical" elements of the setting are described in the appendix to the rules or are specified in the random generation of an Ordeal, it is the players' free choice to write Components they want to use in the setting and to describe them. The limits of this are given by the other players, who can Rise Up and Challenge the description.
Dice are used as both currency and random number generator. The Chronicler (temporary game master) can inflict Pain (devasting traits, requiring oaths and such) on other players' components, and offer them dice as compensation. If the other player is unwilling to accept the Pain, he must either offer dice against it, or the conflict is resolved by a Clash, in which all applicable dice are rolled against each other and then pushed forward against each other according to the rules.
Different Aspects of the dice corresponding to special rules and the limited possibilities to reroll dice during Clash make tactical play possible.

my sweet little Ben is becoming a big boy
Cruz did a great job of encouraging him and helping him.
He learned to ride his bike on a Saturday and then the next day he got sick. He ran fever for four straight days. After a trip to the doctor and some medicine it finally broke and he got well. Poor little thing had a rough week.
Here are the boys playing an old Atari game system we have. Centipede is their favorite.
Cruz reading to Ben one morning before school
I've done a lot of baking lately. I've made several loaves of yeast bread and a few loaves of pumpkin bread. I've baked cookies, candy, and made Rice Krispies treats twice. I also baked (for the first time) a batch of mini pecan pies.
A few of my mini pecan pies. I'll be making these again. Yum!
We had four Bible studies/ services last week. The first one was Thursday in Muyurco. I stayed home with Ben and sent Cruz off with David. Many of our Bible study regular attendees are sick too with fever and flu like symptoms. Pray that everyone in that area can get well.
On Friday night David attended a special service at Bro. Fito's church here in Chiquimula. It was a service to recognize the church leaders for the new year and to pray over them. It was a great service and a sweet time of fellowship there.

David taught in Nearar on Sunday morning. On Sunday afternoon we all traveled to the village of El Palmar to be a part of their evening service. It was good to be with Bro. Jose Maria again to encourage him. It was also good to see the progress on their church building.
the soon to be church building in El Palmar
These photos were taken on Sunday evening. They were scheduled to begin putting the roof on Monday morning. Bro. Fito was sending a group of men from his church to help them. I love how they are working together! We will be anxious to return and see the progress.
It's now Thursday again and we'll be headed back to Muyurco in the afternoon for Bible study. David will be teaching again on Sunday morning in Nearar. Then, on Sunday evening, our next team will be arriving. We are very excited. It has been a few months since our last team was here and we are ready for some fellowship time. We look forward to a great week together and ask you to cover us in prayer as we go out and share the Gospel with them.

""Westworld" is Michael Crichton's first foray into the theme-park-as-hell genre which he followed up more successfully in "Jurassic Park", but it's a very good film on its own. Here we have James Brolin and Richard Benjamin, two bored yuppies, starting their holiday in Delos, billed as the ultimate theme park, "where nothing can go wrong". Yeah, right. Customers pay through their noses to spend a vacation in one of three areas of the park: Romanworld, Medievalworld, and Westworld, where they can live out their fantasies and it's fun for all. Brolin and Benjamin choose Westworld (what American boy has never played cowboy at some time in his childhood?) and for a few days they have the time of their lives shooting up bad guys, starting barfights, and drawing a bead on deadly rattlesnakes. But it's all harmless fun and games -- everything's computerized, the bad guys, the ladies of easy virtue, even the rattlesnakes; and there's a state-of-the-art computer lab to keep everything running smoothly. Nothing to worry about......until the computers develop a virus that sends them off into a learning curve that screws everything up. The first hint that something might be amiss happens over in Medievalworld, when a robot harlot decides she is tired of being a sex object and smacks a customer across the face when he tries to seduce her. Meanwhile, back in Westworld, the bad-guy-in-black robot challenges Brolin and Benjamin to a gunfight, but instead of being shot dead as he is every night, the bad guy decides to turn the tables. Oh boy, maybe it's time to cut this vacation short... but that's easier said than done when all of the robots have gone berserk and start whacking not only the customers, but their programmers as well. Murphy's Law has proved itself once again with a vengeance. Is there any way out of this mess? See for yourself.Brolin and Benjamin are fairly good in their respective roles, nothing to write home about; but what makes this movie special is Yul Brynner's terrific portrayal of the bad-guy-in-black; a soulless robot with the dead eyes of a killer. The special effects are interesting in that they show us how far special effects have come since this movie was made; this was strictly a low-budget film, but it's a lot of fun for all that. It's pure Crichtonian escapism."
A Real Science Fantasy Trek Into Horror
MF Regan | Ontario, Canada | 10/30/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
I picked this film up about a week ago. I hadn't seen it since it premiered back in the 1970's. It made no impression on me whatsoever on that first viewing. Boy has time and its simplicity improved it, the second time around! This is a very timely film and I think people of all ages should take a look at it.
This film moves from humour to fantasy to horror almost seamlessly. And the funny thing is- the fact that Crichton didn't get caught up in atmosphere or look; he concentrated on two characters simply going to a future resort, however fantastic the idea seems, to release and experience what in fact become examples of some of the darkest pleasures or most violent impulses inside of all of us. It really presses the right buttons and asks questions about what we find fun or entertaining.
I don't want any review I write to spoil the films for the people yet to see the work so, let's just say- when the tables turn and 'we're on the receiving end ', there's a real numbing truth to what this film drives home. More so today then when it was released. Think of some of the 'reality based darkness' that now litters our airwaves and the unfortunate numbers who seem to be tuning in to watch it.
James Brolin really nails the 'who cares' feel his character needs. Richard Benjamin has to be the one who feels silly at first, then joins in with a sort of reckless abandon. And Yul Brynner is an example to everybody today (in acting, directing, effects and make-up ), of how you can scare the hell out of someone with a look, a smile and two small silver contact lens. (You'll know what I mean when you get to the scene). Benjamin really balances him from that point, having to portray the fear the new reality hits him with.
I won't do the Jurassic comparisons. I thought it when Jurassic came out but Jurassic was a rollercoaster ride. Westworld is the tale with the real bite.
I highly recommend this movie. It's an entertainment that quickly turns to a truth I think we all need to keep thinking about. What do we really find entertaining? Or more to the point... why?"
Western with a twist

(5 out of 5 stars)
""Westworld" remains as fresh today as it did when it first came out. What a great movie. Yul Brynner looks liked he just got off the set of "The Magnificent Seven" but this time he is the bad guy. Brynner makes this a wonderful outing. I mean who else could pull this one off? Good scripting helped too."
C. Upperstrom | Iron River, Michigan United States | 01/05/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"I saw Westworld at a theatre when I was 7 years old (my parents didn't know!!) It scared the ... out of me back then because of the visuals (robots taking their faces off ect.) When I saw Westworld a few years ago it was just as scary because of the suspense factor(the special effects are kind of cheezy by today's standards) If you watch Westworld for the entertainment value and look past all the shortcomings in special effects- it is very entertaining and suspenseful. Westworld is a very good story with an ending that will keep you on the edge of your seat biting your fingernails!! Glad to see it out on DVD!!"

In this section you have the opportunity to decide all the details of your Camino walk, so you customize it according to your actual needs in the most easy and convenient way.
You can decide from where you want to start the route and the duration thereof depending on the days that you have available.
The French Way is the xacobean itinerary with more historical tradition, being the most internationally recognized, thanks to the constructive work and promotion of monarchs like Sancho III the Greatest, Sancho Ramírez of Navarra and Aragón, Alfonso VI and his successors. This is by far the most famous route, the busiest, the most typical one of the best signposted.
The main points to start the French way, in addition to Sarria and O Cebreiro, from we organize your route are:
St. Jean Pied de Port is a beautiful French town where the three great Jacobean pathways converged within the French territory, from Paris, Le Puy and Vecelay. This pilgrim town of great tradition retains a fortified citadel on top of the hill, which was built in 1628, and an old town situated on its skirt, which is worth a visit.
Roncesvalles is considered with O Cebreiro, mythical places of the Camino of Santiago.. If you start the Camino in France you get to the city descending the port of Ibañeta. Roncesvalles or the "valley of Santiago" represents the begining of the "Stars way" and has been witneess of great events through its long history.
Roncesvalles is the gateway to Spain for the "French Way", once you pass the pyrinees.
This Navarre village is really well known because the "Chanson de Roland"
Pamplona is the first capital of the xacobean way for the pilgrims who startes the way in Roncesvalles.
This city has the traces of its rich past with an incredibles cultural offer. You can't miss its medieval streets, walls, gardens, squares and corners. This is the town of the "Running of Bulls-San Fermin", one of the most famous events in all the country.
Logroño is the capital of La rioja, one the main cities where the camino makess its marrk on countless monuments.
Leon is one of the major cities of the Way. Noted for its monuments, such as the XII century Gothic Cathedral, with its spectacular stained glass windows, the Basilica of San Isidoro with incredible frescoes (Romanesque Sistine Chapel), the Pantheon of the Kings, and the Parador Hostal San Marcos, which was built as a hospital for pilgrims.
If you prefer to start in a different city of the French way, write us and we will help you to organyze it.
The Jacobean pilgrimage from Portugal has its heyday when Portugal became independent in the XII century, even though it is believed to have started in the high medieval period. From this time, the Jacobean cult and the peregrination to Compostela, are considered one of the signs of European culture identity, having an important projection on Portugal. The second most popular route and well signposted.
Tui is the gateway to Spain for the "Portuguese Way", which starts in Lisbon. In Galicia the path continues parallel to the Rias Bajas of Vigo and Pontevedra.
It has a great tradition and is the only route that start in Santiago. Most of the pilgrims when they reach Santiago they continue until "the end of the world" (Finisterre/Muxia). This route is becoming increasingly popular.

text: I checked through the (small) history of this board for a topic similar to this but found none. I'd like to get pointed to some books/websites/etc. that might help me in my quest to get started as a maker of Basses (so to speak). I don't know much about it, but I'd like to get some more info if possible. Stuff like, what is important to know about woods, where or how to get templates maybe, how to go about building a bass, putting it together, materials. You know, stuff to get started =) Anyone have some info? Or you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks!

We used to have a dog, Sedona, who loved to lick beer bottles. My husband enjoyed tipping the bottle when it was just about empty to give her the last few drops and watch her go crazy over it. It never seemed to do any harm to Sedona, but we have friends who more recently had to spend quite a bit of money at the vet when their small dog developed a bit of a drinking habit. Alcohol, it turns out, is not so great for dogs.
An Oregon man, Daniel Keeton, has created a non-alcoholic beer made especially for dogs with a sustainable bent. He uses the spent grain from a microbrewery, along with organic low-sodium vegetable broth, and a glucosamine supplemental powder that includes ginger, cinnamon, flax seed and honey to make Dawg Grog. It's meant to be given to dogs as a treat or poured over their food.
At $36 for a six-pack, the cost seems a bit prohibitive for daily consumption for the average American dog, but I can definitely imagine that people who celebrate their dog's birthday or buy holiday presents for their K-9 companion will find this a welcome gift option.
I've never been one for buying gifts for my pets. Our cat doesn't have her own Christmas stocking and I have no idea when her birthday is. So, if we had still had Sedona, I doubt I'd be buying her Dawg Grog. I do know plenty of people, however, who are going to think this is great. Are you one of them?


text: BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Hundreds of residents of one southeastern Michigan community have water pressure that is either too high or too low. One homeowner has been holding up a plan to fix the problem, saying a new water line could kill his 50-foot pine tree. "It's a huge, beautiful tree," said Arkadi Tcherniak, a 58-year-old real estate agent and builder. "I'm not happy if I lose this pine." Tcherniak has been blocking Bloomfield Township's plan for a year by refusing to give it permission to lay the pipe on the edge of his property in Oakland County, about 15 miles north-northwest of Detroit. Township officials say building a new water main to join two parts of their pipe network is the best solution for the hundreds of homes with water pressure that is too low or too high. Tcherniak said the project would cost him six trees, but he expressed particular concern about the 50-footer. "I ask them, 'What if the tree dies?' They say, 'We'll put another tree,' " he said. "'Same size?' I ask. 'No, we'll put a smaller one.' They say the tree's not going to die. They're going to dig under it," Tcherniak told the Detroit Free Press for a story Sunday. Township engineer Wayne Domine said Tcherniak is being selfish and difficult. "Normally, we go to homeowners with a request like this and we have no problem," he said. "I think this is the first time the person has said, 'No.'æ" Domine said Bloomfield Township consulted a tree expert, who said that if the pines are in good health, they should survive the pipe-laying. If not, the township is prepared to pay replacement costs, Domine said. "We have to get from point A to point B," the engineer said. "It's his property we have to cross. We could use a different, more expensive route, but the customer would pay for it." The township is going through a legal process to gain an easement to lay the pipe and filed suit in the spring against Tcherniak in Oakland Circuit Court. The township has offered to pay Tcherniak $1,400 for the right to lay the pipe, but he said that does not adequately compensate him for the potential loss of the trees. "I have beautiful trees on my property," he said. "That's why I bought it."

Juelz Santana Launches Rock Star Clothing Line, Readies New Album
Dipset MC Juelz Santana is set to add fashion designer to his list of achievements, as he gears up to launch his RoyElz clothing line this winter.
Reportedly modeled after Santana's own personal style and rock star look, RoyElz will be designed by Mr. Slim Mils and will make it's debut at the famed Magic's Fall Marketplace convention in Las Vegas this February. The line was slated to be unveiled next week at Magic's Spring Marketplace but was pushed back due to a family member's terminal illness.
The line, which the Harlem-born rapper has been preparing for some time, will be a family affair with his mother, Deborah James, and aunt, Laura Tyler, helping with the business.
"My Sister, Juelz, and I are extremely excited about the line," says James, president of the company. "We are looking forward to the launching of RoyElz and seeing it in stores soon."
The Diplomat lyricist is also putting the finishing touches on his third solo LP, Born To Lose, Built To Win. Though known for his flashy lyrics, Santana says that this disc, which has yet to receive a release date, will be a more mature effort and the subject matter will be expanded.
"This upcoming album will show my growth as an artist," Santana said. "This time around, I'm talking about survival, maintaining my lifestyle and overcoming the obstacles and challenges life brings. The beats will be harder and the lyrics are tighter."

counsellor of the blessed Edmund, archbishop of Canterbury. And it was from the information he received from the accounts given him by this Richard, and by Brother Robert Bacon, of the order of Preachers, that Brother Matthew Paris diligently wrote a history of the life of the aforesaid Saint Edmund, as it had been related to him by credible men.
After the retirement of earl Simon from Guienne, the people of Guienne began to war with one another, and to invade one another's castles, to take men prisoners, and to reduce their houses to ashes. And among the first of these warlike leaders was Gaston, lord of Biarde and Perigord, who transferred his allegiance to the king of Spain, that by this means he might more readily attack the king of England. And he encouraged the enemies of the king in Guienne to such a degree, that Bourdeaux, which had used to supply provisions to all Guienne, began to feel want. The lord the king granted a privilege to the church of Waltham, and formally confirmed it, that as often as it should happen that that church was vacant, the convent should have free power of disposing both of the barony and of the possessions -of the church, according to their will ; besides which, he granted them two markets, and conferred other advantages upon them ; and as to these particulars, he renewed the charter which had been obtained from them before.
As the church of Rome was a long time deprived of the presence of its shepherd and prelate, the lord the pope was solemnly entreated by the Romans to return to Rome, and to govern his flock as their shepherd. And as he still delayed, he was entreated a second time with great solemnity, with this addition, that he must come now or never. And when the lord the pope heard this, fearing to incur danger by his delay, he withdrew from Perugia, and hastened to Rome. And although the Romans had repayment of the money which they had expended for him against Frederic, withheld as if it had been a fine due from them, nevertheless he was received joyfully and reverently by them all. The day fortnight after Easter, a great parliament being assembled, nearly all the prelates being met together, requested that the king, observing their charters and liberties as he had often promised, would also permit the Holy Church to enjoy its liberties, especially in the matter of the elections of prelates of the cathedral churches, and of the churches of convents : all which the king pro

Master Street Painter at work
While I was at the National Museum of Singapore, I had the privilege to see Kurt Wenner, a Master Street Painter, at work.
In conjunction with the National Museum's Opening Festival, Kurt Wenner has been invited "to create an original anamorphic drawing, live, at the National Museum."
It was an interesting experience to see an artist at work. Having taken art lessons in the past myself, I must say that Kurt Wenner has very good technique. I love the way he handled the pastels so proficiently. It reminded me to consider taking some time to return to sketching. I haven't been sketching for quite a long time, but I must say that sketching is very therapeutic.
Kurt Wenner has a website: http://www.kurtwenner.com/
While seeing him in action, I secretly wish that one day I can become wealthy enough to commission him to do some artworks for me.
Meantime, he will be at the National Museum of Singapore till 19 Dec 2006, so do check out. Details can be found here.
Edit: Veron has a wonderful post on Kurt Wenner at the National Museum, check out her post: Kurt Wenner at the National Museum

Ivan Chew: I shall hope for you that you can one day earn your first art commission.
Cool Insider: I went for the Mother Empress of Habsburg Austria exhibition. It was nice, and I love the Mozart Classical work played in the background. I happen to capture some photos without using flash.....but the security reminded me that even photography without flash is not allowed. *frown*
Would I need to gain clearance in order to post those photographs if I were to post them and do a write-up on my visit to that exhibition on yesterday.sg?

I feel that exploring Jean Baudrillad's theories surrounding images of violence and the comparing of reality TV shows to snuff films assisted me into creating a more specific idea. Debord's theories also helped me to home in and fine tune my idea. Perhaps in the future if I am ever struggling with an idea or trying to establish a good point to expand on I can look at the theories and writings of various theorists and philosophers. It was also interesting to see people's fascination of gore as well, since it is also a form of media no matter how disturbing it is. The artefact also enabled me to improve my editing skills as I worked hard to add in a variety of twitches and frame drops to symbolise roughly shot footage – if you're killing someone you would probably focus less on video. Most of all I found the feedback from the class seminar very helpful, it enabled me to focus on what other improvements I could do – something I would simply not have thought of by myself. Looking back at my work I could have paid more attention to the rise of gore sites in parallel to the advances in the internet; possibly more video recorded violence and killing and established a link between them. All in all I think my artefact did well to demonstrate that serial killers can be seen as a spectacle, something that I had hoped to achieve.
The spectacle artefact was a little tricky to show to the class because I worried that the content may have been a little peculiar for some (even though it probably looked more fake than anything). My goal was to make the artefact look like a snuff film, as opposed to make it look beautiful. It had to be filmed in one long take so the acting had to be satisfactory throughout. Moreover various effects like noise, artefacts and colour correction were added in to give an effect of a legitimate, but crappy tape recording. I received an adequate amount of feedback which helped to improve the artefact a great deal more.
Originally I had a very deep drone as the ambient/background noise but it was too quiet to even notice, and feeling that it was not tense enough I found an even creepier track to put on. The idea was to make the audience feel as uncomfortable as possible; as one study had previously suggested that low frequency sounds induce fear or awe in the viewer. Whilst it was a requirement for me to use full diegetic audio, the added audio did sound like the sounds that would have been captured during the real recording. Perhaps the high pitched sound effect when the victims head is shown could replicate the killer's ruthless screaming.
The 'Ministry of Defence' evidence tape-style start was actually influenced a lot by the start of Cloverfield (2008). The content in the title sequence had to suggest that whatever was in the artefact had to have happened not long ago – this was achieved in After Effects. Since I had some experience with the program it was not too difficult playing around with composition and animation.
The biggest suggestion I received was that the ending was.. well, there was no ending. It was too abrupt. Even though this was intentional – assuming that after something gruesome happens on an evidence tape (as you seen in the movies) the video player is usually paused when someone says something along the lines of 'I've had enough' – edited to an effect similar to a VHS being paused. Whilst I thought this was pretty cool, it didn't go well with the class. The original ending was at approximately 01:43 in the artefact, and was extended by about 11 more seconds. The new ending featured a violently edited serial killer staring into the lens showing off the victim's bloody head before showing 'end of tape' and powering down – it was now evidence tape from start to finish. However with this ending the artefact felt much more complete as opposed to the sudden stop of the original.
At some point in their lives everyone has rubbernecked – it is simple human nature to see what happened. It's not normal to look at human suffering but a lot of people do. Since it is socially acceptable to become famous by being on a reality TV show (either by being a husband/wife/mum or performing something dumb) why can't the rise to fame extend to gore sites and snuff films for psychopaths or even sociopaths – unfortunately this is what these type of people believe, and they would want to do anything to get money or fame for it as time has shown.
I wanted to make my artefact a 'snuff' style film because it was I wanted to play around with effects and reality. What would people's reaction be?
John Wayne Gacy, Jr was an American serial killer who murdered around 33 teenage boys and men between 1972 and 1978. He was labelled as the 'Killer Clown" due to his charitable services at fundraising events, parades and children's parties where he would dress as "Pogo the Clown", a character he created himself.
My serial killer has to be a spectacle of some kind, whether in his actions or his appearance. The latter is easier to do because I am not planning to go into a great deal of special effects to make sadistic rituals or satanic executions look real. I would rather make the killer wear something special, something that will make him infamous – since my friend has a honey monster costume (a look-alike, not official) lying around which would make him stand out as "the cerial killer". The honey monster was originally the mascot of sugar puffs hence the name cerial killer.
The whole thing would need to be shot in one whole take and edited to show the poor quality camerawork, constant skips and maybe even artefacts due to tape damage. The victim would be traditionally tied in a chair and probably taunted and executed shortly after. It will be part of an evidence tape (intro sequence stating the evidence tape message) to imply that it is somewhat real and maybe valuable to snuff film collectors.
False snuff films also exist, films that were genuinely mistaken for looking a bit too realistic: The Guinea Pig Films and Cannibal Holocaust. The former was only mistaken because of the grainy and unsteady quality of the video as if it was recorded be amateurs – something that could influence my own snuff film (similar effects and colour). Funnily enough both parties of filmmakers had to prove that their films were not real.
What makes killers so fascinating and what makes people so fascinated with killers are one and the same question. Luke Magnotta was unknown to the world until Canadian government officials received dismembered body parts, but when he was arrested a week later in June 4th his story and name became infamous. He had made a video (named 1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick) of himself killing, severing and eating his victim – the video circulated online leading to an international manhunt, arrest and eventually the celebrity status he had wanted.
This ties in with another of Jean Baudrillard's theories of globilsation, how the 9/11 attacks were caused by advances in technology rather than religion. Snuff films are supposed to not exist, but thanks to the internet and cheap cameras, people's ability to film and distribute torture and death has become a whole lot easier.
Plenty of gore and shock sites exist (documentingreality, rotten, goregrish) and contain a lot of sick material that has been collected from real life killings and torture, either from places of civil unrest or drug cartel beheadings. Even to the point where a real snuff video might surface and the users of such sites see it first-hand. One of the earliest sites dedicated to vile content was Rotten.com established in 1996, originally featuring disgusting medical conditions and other accidents. By the 2000s many more shock sites appeared and disturbing video became much easier thanks to advances in internet technology.
In 2009, two Russian teenagers were found guilty of murdering 21 people during a two month spree, whilst filming several of their murders (dubbing it 3 Guys 1 Hammer). Whilst this footage appealed to some people it was ultimately used for their conviction at trial.
Armin Meiwes was a German man who gained international notoriety for killing and eating a voluntary victim in 2001 that he had found on the internet. He filmed himself cutting up the victim and eating various body parts. The video was only shown to journalists and court members and has not yet made its way online – but there are many that anticipate its arrival. The video too secured his sentence, even though the victim was completely voluntary and that he had released those who wer enot confortable with the whole process.
Marek (one of the admins) from BestGore.com states that "Bad guys evolve as fast as the rest of the society, we live in an internet age. It's only normal that the internet became the communication platform for the perpetrators…You won't see perpetrators mailing letters with words cut out of a newspaper glued onto it to draw attention to their crimes anymore. [A] new generation of violent people will use the internet as a platform of choice for various purposes." Violence has always existed, but it's coming to a point where one's sick actions can be easily shown to the wide world for a simple celebrity status.

William Pawlett, 2007. Jean Baudrillard: Against Banality (Key Sociologists). Edition. Routledge.
Thinking of an idea for the spectacle artefact proved to be the most challenging. At first I was unsure on whether I should create a spectacle myself or base my artefact on a past spectacle, but after consideration the former choice sounded more interesting to do – I would prefer creating something myself. The obstruction however, was to look at one of the propositions from Guy Debord's 'Society of the Spectacle' or Jean Baudrillard's ideas, these narrowed things down a bit and allowed me to focus on something more specific. The quote that fascinated me the most was number 9 from Debord:
"In a world that really has been turned on its head, truth is a moment of falsehood."
This can be interpreted in many ways. Certain horrific actions or events that could occur in the world never get out to the media. Everything bad that one can think of has actually happened – some might think that hell doesn't exist, yet we already live in it. Snuff films are a good example, they are supposed to be urban legend but they do exist, and in more volumes than you can imagine. The media is constantly talking about how murderers are convicted and how crime statistics are going down, but in reality people are still committing atrocities.
Baudrillard explored reality TV shows in the late 1970s and argued that it demonstrated 'the mutation of the real into the hyperreal' and later on returned to the theme that 'when everything is on display (like Big Brother type reality shows) we realise there is nothing else to see'. Baudrillard insists that there is a direct, logical connection between 'reality' TV and snuff movies, 'at the same time as they try to make it (death) disappear technologically, death will reappear on the screen as an extreme experience'.
So thinking further about these theories I thought about creating a snuff film (the ultimate reality show) which showcases a spectacular serial killer and the spectacular interest that people might get in their quest to find and see what he does. A snippet from a snuff film which shows the 'spectacular' serial killer taunting and then killing his victim. The start of the artefact will feature 'police evidence tape' to imply that is real.
Why is society so interested in gruesome things? We are so hateful of death and killing yet we can't take our eyes over some crazy footage that occasionally leaks onto the internet. Murderers can be seen to make a spectacle of their murders and can even become celebrities in a way, either by their code or method.
This little project basically enabled me to come to terms with prosopagnosia, from knowing nothing about it, to becoming fairly educated around the subject. It was also the first time I ever used a Canon 5D for the project as well as the Zoom H4N voice recorder, equipment that was completely new to me (thanks to the loanshop). The mugging scene in the park was the best thing I have shot and directed (a storyboard really helped) for a long time thanks to the depth of field and cinematic capabilities of the 5D, the overall results looked stunning raw and even better post-production. I've always suffered from not-so-great looking footage due to average cameras but the 5D gives me motivation and incentive to make more beautiful looking films. There were a few obstacles in the way during production, for example the attempted mugging that was shot around a cash machine caused a few problems directing. I couldn't really direct it as much as I had hoped to get nice looking shots but was forced to do it as quickly as possible as the general public was getting in the way; for the future I could look for a better location and perhaps shoot at an earlier time. During the 3min duration of the film I performed a great deal of cuts, colour correction, sound editing and multiple exports – but I kept asking myself if so much effort was worth it for an artefact, well yes it was, the process was very enjoyable and the outcome was satisfying. Advanced sound editing/mixing is not my speciality so it was not as perfect as I hoped; it is something that I would really enjoy more training. Overall my idea was sound, but since my preference lied with the other idea a great deal more I will re-make that whenever possible.

The laundry room is finally done, well… let's say functional and fairly decent looking. The two key ingredients were a fresh coat of paint and some storage. The transformation still amazes us, especially for the relatively small effort required.
We left off with the dog door, which has worked out great. Especially since Sketch recently got a new brother. We were surprised that they even used the door with all of our tools and junk stacked directly in the way.
This probably bothered us more than them, but it was time to get this old sink cabinet out and some permanent storage in. The first order of business, was to get everything out of the room, and slide the washer and dryer into the middle so we could access the wall behind it for patching and painting.
The wall behind the washer was fairly beaten up and needed some serious patching. So before we started painting, we took care of all the holes with some wall patches and spackle.
We chose a nice fresh light blue for this room, making sure to get it in a semi-gloss finish because it is easier to clean and handles moisture well. To make the room look a little nicer we decided to paint the exposed pipes too.
Once the painting was done and dry, we moved on to our fancy new storage. We wanted shelves on both sides of the washer and dryer, and also over the dog door. There was no way for us to hit studs every time but this was no big deal. We decided to go with a wire wall mounted shelf with support brackets that eliminated the need for studs.
The only difference is that without the studs we needed toggle bolts to secure the brackets to the wall. These shelves are also great for the Laundry / Utility room because they are tough, stain, and moisture proof. They are also easy to pop off and move up or down on the support bracket, which makes for a very flexible storage space. The shelf installation was slightly more involved than just measuring and screwing, but with a bit of practice, we were whipping these babies on to the wall in minutes.
We are extremely happy with how this turned out. The shelves frame the washer and dryer nicely, making them seem less obtrusive in the middle of the room It almost looks like it was planned that way. See the final product below and let us know what you think.
You will notice on the outer edges of the top shelves there are some hooks holding various items like a broom and a mop. These are IKEA Bygel S-hooks that we had leftover from the wall storage setup we had in our apartment, and they work great for hanging all sorts of things to save space.
The shelves are in and the wall painting is done. We still need to do the trim and move the dryer line to a better place back behind the toilet near the floor, but this room is 100% better than when we started. We have a ton of storage and plenty of space to do laundry. And now we finally have easy access to our second toilet.

Penta(R) water (www.pentawater.com), one of world's purest drinking waters, will again be hydrating the contestants of NBC's hit weight loss reality show, The Biggest Loser, starting Wednesday, September 20.
In its third season, The Biggest Loser is the first reality series in which everybody wins by "losing." The show, hosted by Caroline Rhea ("Sabrina the Teenage Witch"), challenges and encourages overweight participants to undergo physical makeovers in a safe manner, without any kind of surgery, through comprehensive diet and exercise as they compete for a grand prize of $250,000.
"Penta is all about health and we're excited that Penta water will play an important part in the overall dietary, health and fitness regimens for the contestants on the show," said Penta founder William D. Holloway.
Incorporating water into one's diet is critical. In fact, each of the top five diet books on the New York Times' Best Seller list advocate drinking plenty of water. Recent research has further identified that drinking several glasses a day helps keep you satiated, flushes metabolic waste products from the body, and transports nutrients to help digestion and your metabolism.
Matt Hoover, the Season 2 winner of The Biggest Loser, commented on incorporating Penta water into his diet. "While it's important to drink a lot of water, especially when trying to lose weight, I found it equally important to drink the purest water. We drank Penta during the competition and I didn't get the bloating feeling I had experienced with other waters. By integrating Penta into my daily diet routine, I found my eating habits became more balanced; I had more energy, and I was able to keep my weight loss on track."
Regularly scheduled to air Wednesdays 9-10 p.m. ET, The Biggest Loser 3 premiere — which will feature the intro-duction of new The Biggest Loser trainer Kim Lyons — will be a two-hour event Wednesday, September 20, 8-10 p.m. ET. The show will resume its normal 1-hour format, Wednesdays 9-10 p.m. ET effective October 4.
Penta ultra-purified premium drinking water is possibly the world's purest drinking water. It undergoes a rigorous 13-step, 11-hour purification and patented physics process, which not only purifies the water, but also helps improve its absorption characteristics. The .5-liter Penta SKU has been the top-selling bottled water item in health food stores since 2002 (SPINSscan). Penta is produced by Bio-Hydration Research Lab, Inc. in a state-of-the-art bottling facility in Carlsbad, California.

A new direction for The Skipton.
Established over 160 years ago, Skipton Building Society had a reputation as a trusted, local building society with its member's best interests at heart. To evolve for future success in a challenging market their strategy was to offer an 'all of life' portfolio with a focus on worry free retirement. OTB were a safe pair of hands to deliver the consumer facing proposition and identity across all media.
Appropriately, the Skipton castle icon was set in stone, however the make over delivered a contemporary identity with a hint of nostalgia, bespoke imagery features people enjoying an 'active retirement' or pre-retirement. The ribbons are a metaphor for Skipton Building Society and the member moving through life together. Extensive brand guidelines meant that everyone understood the brand and all it stands for.

Some of the greatest moments in sport are best viewed, not by the roadside as the peloton speeds along too quickly to appreciate the expression their faces but in stills - where the smallest detail can be captured. The following galleries have been compiled by Cyclingnews to share these moments which may have been missed while watching it roadside or in front of the television.
The riders in this select group have been chosen for their standout performances in previous editions with additional members included as they head into their favoured terrain.
Galleries will be updated following each stage's completion and will include general classification contenders like Cadel Evans (BMC) and Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling) while the odds-on favourites to animate the race such as stage one's winner Peter Sagan (Liquigas - Cannondale) and Philippe Gilbert (BMC) will no doubt fill the photographer's memory cards with hundreds of images. Fast-men in the sprints will be represented by Mark Cavendish (Sky Procycling) and Matt Goss (Orica - GreenEdge).

As a historical fashion nerd, one of my most important stops while in DC was to see the first ladies dresses at the American History Museum. I wish that the DC textile museum was open while I was in town but this was sadly as close as I was going to get to some historic costume while visiting. I really think that the Smithsonian should have an entire wing/exhibit just on clothing, american clothing and textiles or something like that. Goodness knows they must have clothing and textiles as part of their collections already so why not put together a display for us hungry costumers who would visit in droves!
Anyway, off I went to see the first ladies dresses. The exhibit was really nice, well laid out and showcased the clothing well I thought. Best of all, photography was allowed!
|Michelle Obama's second inaugural gown
|I was surprised how much I really liked Hillary Clinton's inaugural gown, such a great color!
|This Lalique brooch was actually over on the President's side of the exhibit but I have a magnetic attraction to all things Lalique so I found it anyways! a gift to Edith Wilson, wife of President Woodrow Wilson from the people of Paris


text: On the road to San Sebastián sits a replica of an old tequila brewing setup in a touristy building. Of course, during the owner's explanation of the process from years ago, you have the opportunity to taste the products. Being a bit of a tequila freak, I opted for a bottle to bring home. Then a taste of the Licor de Cafe and I was instantly sold again. Now you would surmise this bottle would only occupy a temporary space on the shelf, but to my pleasant surprise it lasted close to 3 years. Olé

A quick look at luxury housing

Luxury homes are often described as large properties on massive lots that feature the utmost in style, design, finishes and extras.

Lyme disease blood test
Primary tabs
The Lyme disease blood test looks for antibodies in the blood to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The test is used to help diagnose Lyme disease.
Alternative Names
Lyme disease serology; ELISA for Lyme disease; Western blot for Lyme disease
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
A laboratory specialist looks for Lyme disease antibodies in the blood sample using the ELISA test. If the ELISA test is positive, it must be confirmed with another test called the Western blot test.
How to Prepare for the Test
You do not need special steps to prepare for this test.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Why the Test is Performed
The test is done to help confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
Normal Results
A negative test result is normal. This means none or few antibodies to Lyme disease were seen in your blood sample. If the ELISA test is negative, usually no other testing is needed.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A positive ELISA result is abnormal. This means antibodies were seen in your blood sample. But, this does not confirm a diagnosis of Lyme disease. A positive ELISA result must be followed up with a Western blot test. Only a positive Western blot test can confirm the diagnosis of Lyme disease.
For many people, the ELISA test remains positive, even after they have been treated for Lyme disease and no longer have symptoms.
A positive ELISA test may also occur with certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Veins and arteries vary in size, so it may be harder to take a blood sample from one person than another.
Other slight risks from having blood drawn may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling lightheaded
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)
