Hi All!
Well, first a big thanks to Nicole for the Myths and Fairytales month.
Heather and I will be hosting this months theme (which is almost an extension of last months) where we'll be looking at the undead - in particular Vampires and Zombies!
Before we begin its very important everyone declares their allegiance...
Are you going to be eating brains with Team Zombie or sucking blood with Vampires R Us?
Also, just wondering if anyone has any idea of what they might be doing? There's tonnes of stuff out there for people to do - books, movies, games etc. Feel free to do whatever type of medium you like (and maybe even more than one if you like!).

I think I'm in "Vampires R Us". I'm almost finished reading "Breaking Dawn" in the Twilight Saga (I'm enjoying reading this book more than the others in the series), "Lost Boys" is one of my fave movies so I think I'll be revisiting that and "True Blood" was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. I should try a zombie novel to "broaden my horizons"- anyone know a good one?

Team Zombie recruit, reporting for duty! I don't know what I'll read yet, but I recently watched Zombieland, which was hilarious, I liked it muchly :) "Rule 2: Beware of Bathrooms". And who could forget the absolutely superb Shaun of the Dead! Oh yeah...
A lot of the books I've read which had zombies in them featured them as the poor, dumb, disposable cousins of the "cooler" undead, and I've got to admit, it's hard to see any creature which is decomposing and falling apart in a starring role, but I'm up for the challenge. I shall find me a book and report back. Over and out.

Also, I may be Team Zombie, this time, but if anyone is looking for a good vampire read I highly recommend Sunshine by Robin McKinley, excellent and a little bit different!

How can you be Team Zombie when you haven't read Pride and Prejudice with Zombies Nic?!
This isn't really a subject I've given much thought to but I'd be Team Vampire. And that's not just because I was slightly smitten with Edward for a while there. Vampires are powerful and seem to be able to get up to pretty much whatever they like. Wheres zombies are, well, zombies.

I'm with Nic on Team Zombie...Gggggrrrraaagggghhhhhh....brains.......
How can you not love zombies with wonderful films like "Dawn of the Dead" "Night of the Living Dead" "28 Days Later" and the wonderful "Shaun of the Dead"?? I haven't seen Zombieland yet but sounds like a must-see.
Also, I just think Vampires are too damn serious and self-important! What's so great about sleeping in coffins?
I am currently reading "Pride and Prejudice with Zombies", pretty funny stuff.
I have so far refused to read the twilight saga (although i did thrill to the ab-fest in New Moon recently). For you vampire lovers, True Blood is a great series, as Gem mentioned above.
If someone knows of another Zombie book I can try please let me know.
Recruit #2 over and out.

Do I have to decide? There are reasons.....
I was going to firmly sit on the fence and say 'books = vampires' & 'movies = zombies' but as Gemma has reminded me THE LOST BOYS!!! And I am deep in the throes of True Blood season 2
But then again I have 2 words for you 'Van Helsing' - this is the movie that killed a cinema genre -and remember True Blood was a book first *confusion*
So, where do I sit now??
When you note the fact that I have read 1 zombie book (P P & Zombies) and untold #s of vampire novels for the book side it's really a bit of a no brainer (sorry about the pun)and the fact that vampires in print are just so...hmmm... yummmmm (for the most part)and zombies really aren't well...
In conclusion I have to say 'books = vampires' & 'movies = zombies'
I'm not wishy washy at all, noooo

Go Team Zombie!
What Zombie's lack in prettiness and charisma they more than make up for in sheer tenacity, conviction and stubborness. You'll never convince a Zombie that they should seriously think through the morality of eating 'brains'. They'll go for brains, every time.
And numbers. There's never 1 Zombie. Remember that.
I recently read 'Patient Zero' by Jonathan Maberry which was quite good. Its an action thriller that features zombies - but the 'new' zombie i.e. fast and vicious, created by a virus, like the ones from 28 Days.
You don't tend to see much of the 'old school' zombie anymore i.e. shambling mound of rotten flesh that couldn't outrun someone driving miss daisy. They'd just rove small towns in packs until everyone was dead or a zombie.
Ahhh, the good old days!

Zombies are heaps better than Vampires in computer games too.
For any gamers out there - Resident Evil series (scariest games ever), Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and Dead Rising.
All classics in their own right that features inumerous, scary Zombies.
But - in response to Kristen's post - has anyone actually pursued good zombie books? (or do we just go for those 'beautiful' vampires?)
I was looking on Amazon and there seem to be quite a few highly rated novels about Zombies...of which we have...none.
I'll have track down some seriously awesome Zombie novels.

I was wondering the same thing - are there any good zombie books out there? I decided I wanted to do two things:
1. Read a good book that happens to be about zombies.
2. Read a book about zombies where they are the protagonists.
The two may not be mutually exclusive, but on the off chance they are, I've picked two books, one (hopefully) for each category.
I did some research and chose World War Z for the first and Breathers: A Zombie's Lament for the second, which may also satisfy the first (even more hopefully).
We didn't have either, Hornsby had both. I'll let you know how I go...

I have managed to find 2 decent zombie books in our library - Monster Island and Patient Zero. Will let you know if they are worth reading.

i would definitely say vampires, Dracula is one of my all time fav books. I haven't been much of a fan of some of the recent vamp books but am willing to give some a go ......any suggestions anyone????
- January 12, 2010 at 9:03 PM

I have come to a conclusion:
I totally recant on my Team Zombie status. In fact I'll go with Team-Whatever-The-Hell-Is-Farthest-Away-From-The-Z-Word.
Breathers started with our "hero" waking up having killed and dismembered his parents (who were awful, I'll give you that). 2/3 of the way through the book he eats them. And it ends with him facing destruction for his actions.
After that I couldn't even read World War Z (which actually does look pretty good). There is a reason I don't read horror and paranormal romance has never looked so good, angsty and annoying teenagers and all.
Right now I have to take a high-powered, industrial hose to my brains and pretend I never even picked up that horrible book.
Team Vampire all the way.

All the awesome songs by the Warblers will soon be available on one awesome album, coming out next month! Woo! I've been recently growing ever fonder and fonder of the Darlton Academy boys, and I know for sure this album will finds its place right next to my other Glee CDs.
Here's a little extra bite. It's a whole new song performed by Darren Chris and the Warblers and it'll also be in the album. As far as I know, its world premiere was like an hour ago! Ah, what a treat. (And I can't wait to see that in an episode... I began to drool a bit just now.)
More info and the track list here!

I live in lower Manhattan and there is a huge difference between lower Manhattan and upper Manhattan. For the first year+ that I've lived here, I've stuck mostly to lower Manhattan. My favorite bits of the city are Union Square and below (though the Upper West Side is quite nice), so it just made sense. I've recently decided to branch out a bit, however, and took the time to hop on the 4/5 train to the Upper East Side.
|Upper East Side
Have brunch.
The UES is full of charming places for brunch.
I recently met a date for brunch at a French cafe, Pascalou, and there was another French bistro literally just two storefronts over! Both were established and thriving, so so clearly there's high demand for brunch (specifically French brunch) spots on the UES. The neighborhood certainly rises to meet that demand!
In addition to a ton of quaint, unique cafes, bistros, and restaurants, there are also old familiars. Some of my favorite that pop up on the UES, too, are Le Pain Quotidien, Organic Avenue, and Panera! Sometimes you just want simple and casual.
Go on a stroll.
The neighborhood is just incredibly cute. The storefronts are lovely, there are all sorts of beautiful moldings on the buildings, the architecture is storied, the area is pretty safe and clean, and there are potted plants in window banks as well as flowers and trees in sidewalk flowerbeds! It's a nice place to just wander for a bit on a relaxed Sunday afternoon.
Visit a bookstore.
There are so many cute ones! I'm a children's book author, so I'm partial to the children's bookstores around the city, but I passed the Corner Bookstore by chance the other day and recommend a quick peek in if you're in the area!
The Corner Bookstore is small (one large room with book-lined walls) but they pack the books in and have a nice assortment. Any place with books hanging in the storefront windows deserves at least a second glance!
Have some tea.
There are so, so, so many cute tea shops on the UES! I'm pretty sure you can get any and every type of tea in any and every type of setting at probably any and every time of day on the UES.
And I haven't even started talking about Alice's Tea Cup, an iconic cafe that transports you to the childhood fantasy world of Alice in Wonderland! Whether you're a tourist or a local, lovers of fairytales and/or tea should consider trying the cafe at least once. Definitely expect it to be busy!
Bike in the park.
Central Park is huge, beautiful, green, full of fun paths and trails and beautiful things to look at!
|You can rent a bike in the park for $20/2hr or $40/day if you don't have your own!
Go to the Met.
Enough said.
What is your favorite NYC neighborhood?
What do you like to do on the UES?

AN ACADEMY chain has told parents that a South Yorkshire primary school which is rated as outstanding by Ofsted has been found to be inadequate by an independent inspection team commissioned by the trust.
The Hill Primary Academy, in Thurnscoe, was one of the first schools to join Reach4 earlier this year - a new academy chain set up to help raise standards in the North of England.
It commissioned an independent inspection of the Hill Primary which mirrored the way Ofsted assesses schools - because of its concerns after taking over the academy.
The inspection has rated the school as being inadequate in all key inspection areas.
A new interim headteacher has been appointed and the governing body has been replaced by Reach4 as a result of the inspection's findings.
Reach4 is a sister trust of Reach2 an established trust which sponsors schools around the country. It was one of five academy sponsors which was given extra funding by the Department for Education to raise standards in the North of England by taking on more schools.
Hill Primary was rated as outstanding when it was last inspected by Ofsted in 2010.
It was one of four schools previously run by Navigate Academies Trust which joined Reach4 in January, this year.
Libby Nicholas, the chief executive officer of Reach4 said: "It is clear from this deeply disappointing report that The Hill has been seriously letting down its pupils and parents for too long. "What is particularly concerning is that Ofsted rated the school as outstanding back in 2010.
"This shows just how things can go so badly wrong in such a short period of time.
"At Reach4 we will simply not accept this level of poor education. Children get one chance with their education and we are determined to fix the problems that are so apparent at The Hill.
"That work is now under way, and we are confident that the measures we are putting in place will transform The Hill and deliver on our promise of "inspiration beyond measure". The trust said it had made a series of changes since taking over at the school.
David Tingle, a Reach4 executive headteacher, has taken up post as interim executive principal. Reach4 said he would provide "immediate additional support to the leadership team and staff." The academy trust said there would also be a programme of training for existing teaching staff to improve the quality of classroom teaching;
The chain said that new staff have been appointed for the new academic year so the school would no longer be relying on supply staff to cover core lessons.
Other measures taken by the trust include the creation of a new transition board to take on governance of the school.
A statement from Reach4 added: "A full review of safeguarding has been completed and new processes and practice are being put in place.
"Full reviews of special educational needs and how pupil premium money is spent have been commissioned."
The Hill Primary was one of four schools which joined Reach4 along with Carrfield Primary Academy, Highgate Primary Academy and Gooseacre Primary Academy, which are all in the Dearne Valley in South Yorkshire. Reach4 now has 12 schools in South Yorkshire.

Menswear trends
Spring/Summer 2014
"White clouds
on green break up
the austral blue"
For the spring/summer 2014 collection, the Reda styling department followed its own instincts: a thread uniting one feeling to another and based on taste and the beautiful. From the weave of Reda textiles emerge similar sentiments: coolness, performance, heritage and style as a state of inner being even before appearing on the exterior.
Weights are around 260 gr/m, a lightness later translated into the shape of the garment but that always departs from the fabric. Colors play around a homogeneous choice of high quality, passing from blue to octane to emerald green and arriving at tones of brown with pinkish casts.
The star of the collection is the blazer, always a basic part of the male wardrobe because it approaches the formality of the suit, providing elegance, but at the same time lacks its classic severity. The blazer of the future will feature a rustic but elegant look, the essence of comfort and the best travel companion in everyday life. Color orientation is to blue, a summer classic, and to the nuances of raw fibers without neglecting to include that typically British taste running to checks, over-checks and hound's-tooth, almost as if they were presences that don't contradict each other, moods that acknowledge one another even if barely hinted at, because they belong to the Reda tradition of elegance.
A rich, complete collection meeting all wardrobe needs with a series of flexible offers to be read as confirmation of that simplicity, basicness and exploration for which the Reda wool mills are renowned.

text: I have a Droid Razr, and have been using K9 for a couple email accounts. Recently I was able to get my work email started up with K9 (took some persuading corporate), and everything seemed to go OK at first. However, now when K9 is syncing, it hangs up in drafts, or inbox and will just go on forever. Sometimes it will work and other times this will go on until I kill K9 and open it back up. I can use the stock corporate email, but I really like K9. Has anyone had this issue or does anyone have suggestions? Also, my work account has two inboxes for some weird reason, which K9 frequently gets hung up in. Any help would be appreciated.

By Chuck RobertsJune 26, 2008
A medical procedure dating back thousands of years was introduced to patients and medical staff recently at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.
"Battlefield acupuncture" was introduced to LRMC doctors, who then applied the procedure to wounded servicemembers and local patients for pain relief, often with significant results.
Dr. (Maj.) Conner Nguyen was exposed to acupuncture as both patient and physician and was equally impressed in both roles. As a patient, Nguyen experienced a 25-percent increase in range of motion and a 50-percent reduction in chronic pain in his shoulders and upper back. As a pain specialist at LRMC, Nguyen recruited his most challenging patients, those for whom traditional pain treatment offered limited relief. Within minutes of when the short golden studs were inserted around their ears, many patients enjoyed a pain reduction of up to 75 percent, he said.
A reduction of 25 percent would be considered a success with traditional pain medications, said Nguyen. In one case, he said, a patient broke into tears when the severe pain he had been suffering for more than a year subsided within moments.
When the military practicioners who introduced battlefield acupuncture return to conduct the follow-up certification training required so LRMC doctors can practice acupuncture, Nguyen will be at the head of the line to get certified, he said.
"Acupuncture allows a provider like me to confidently complete a treatment and expect a good result within minutes," Nguyen said. Additionally, the procedure can be done with virtually no significant complications, and patients are subjected to little or no discomfort and can experience immediate and "quite spectacular results sometimes."
Nguyen received his interim hands-on training from Dr. (Col.) Stephen Burns and Dr. (Col.) Richard Niemtzow, two of the Department of Defense's 40 licensed acupuncturists.
Niemtzow developed and named the Battlefield Acupuncture technique in 2001. It is a radical departure from classical acupuncture, said Niemtzow, who realized its possible military value. As an Air Force acupuncturist, Niemtzow has trained hundreds of his military counterparts.
Battlefield acupuncture focuses on locations on the ear that he said have been known for hundreds of years as effective areas for pain control. The ear is a practical target for acupuncture because it can be readily accessed whether the patient is on the battlefield or in a hospital bed.
Acupuncture can also be a practical means for treating pain in the military, Niemtzow said, such as when a Soldier develops a migraine headache at the onset of a mission. Where pain medication could cloud his mind and compromise the mission, acupuncture can offer long-lasting relief within minutes.
Introducing acupuncture to doctors trained in traditional Western medicine often meets with raised eyebrows, but the reception is warming, he said.
"In the beginning many people were skeptical, but after seeing it demonstrated on patients and witnessing the immediate benefits - the majority of physicians embraced it and learned how to use it in their practices as an adjunctive therapy," said Niemtzow, who is the consultant for alternative and complimentary medicine to the Air Force Surgeon General.
The technique was readily received at LRMC, said Dr. (Col.) Stephen Princiotta, deputy commander for clinical services. "The doctors who saw it in action and heard about it have been very excited about the opportunity to add acupuncture as a therapy," he said.
Dr. (Maj.) Teri Simpson, an anesthesiologist, uses acupuncture "with great success" one day a week at the LRMC pain clinic.
"I love it," Simpson said. "It can be life changing when the patient responds immediately and looks at you like you're a magician."
In addition to using the small studs that resemble small pierced earrings, Simpson uses the longer needles more commonly associated with acupuncture. The frequency of application and the duration of relief vary with each patient, but treatment can progress from about two times a week to as little as once a month or longer. In some cases further acupuncture treatment may not be required.
Acupuncture doesn't work for all of Simpson's patients, she said. About 15 percent do not respond to acupuncture, but of the patients who do, pain reduction often averages about 75 percent.
One of those patients is Spc. Bradley Phillips, an Army scout whose back pain while deployed to Iraq was so great that he required treatment at LRMC. Phillips, who's assigned to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood, Texas, had successfully received acupuncture treatment from an Army medic before and enthusiastically agreed to be part of the battle acupuncture program.
Phillips said he preferred acupuncture because it allowed him to avoid taking pain medications and experiencing their side effects. As Simpson applied two studs in his left ear and five in his right, as well as a few probes into his lower back with a longer needle, Phillips' pain slowly eased away.
Studs used for battlefield acupuncture barely penetrate the skin and fall out in about three days.

I recently was given the opportunity to review the External DVD Drive by Novapolt at a discount in exchange for my 100% honest and unbiased opinion on their product.
My home PC that my husband built for me does not have a CD or DVD rom installed in it. Now I know most everything now a days can either be downloaded or uploaded with a SD card but there are still somethings that can only be done with a CD or DVD. Well that is exactly where the external DVD-RW has come in handy. I have so many pictures on my pc and I am always so worried about losing them like if something happens to my pc all of my pictures would be gone but now that I have this external drive I was able to burn all my pictures onto a DVD. My husband even uses the external drive to watch some of his dvd's on his laptop.
It is so nice that this drive is backwards compatible too because my PC is not 3.0. The drive is not heavy, bulky and the usb cord is attached the drive so there is no way to lose it.

Colton Haynes & Emily Bett Rickards Swap Genders in Tyler Shields Shoot
Colton Haynes gets some red-lipped kisses from Emily Bett Rickards in a new photoshoot by Tyler Shields for VanityFair.com.
The 27-year-old actor and his 24-year-old Arrow co-star challenge gender norms in the shoot, which features the two swapping outfits and taking on new looks.
"It was when we were talking about shooting Colton in the vintage women's suit that the idea to shoot Colton and Emily in each other's outfits came up," Tyler told the mag. "I think it speaks a lot to the time we are in right now as androgyny is a two-way street."
Colton shared his love for the shoot on Twitter, where he called it "EPIC!!" and noted his resemblance to Marilyn Monroe in a photo of him donning a blonde wig.
Thx @vanityfair for letting @emilybett & I gender swap for the day with @tylershields :) EPIC!!!… https://t.co/SVNFaHgpWJ

A year ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I underwent surgery and partial radiation, which did save my life, but left me with nasty wounds on my breasts and under my arm. My skin was turning grey, my nails were peeling and I felt myself spinning like I was on an emotional merry-go-round. During a very dark time in my life, a friend of mine introduced Sunshine Botanicals and their Rapid Repair Skin Recovery products and the unique way their products were made–potent botanical extracts that had done great things for many people with damaged skin conditions. Not sure what to think about this, I felt I had nothing to lose so I gave Rapid Repair Fluid and Rapid Repair balm a try. I applied the product several times a day, per instructed, and I was simply amazed at how quickly my skin responded, and how fast it healed. Even the scars were diminishing! Both my radiologist and my surgeon couldn't believe the level of healing I had experienced in such a short period of time! Honestly, I was blown away by the results pure plant medicine delivered for such a serious situation. I will never look at plants and herbal medicine the same way ever again...thank you Sunshine Botanicals for creating such amazing products. The early detection mammogram and doctors saved my life, but Sunshine Botanicals gave me my "Mojo" back!

That's your truth
Posted March 16, 2014
by Holy Host (guest blogger)
It's becoming more common to follow postmodern thinking that says it's all relative, each person defines his or her own truth and there's no such thing as absolute truth.
This kind of thinking, called relativism misses the point. This idea that "perception is reality," can't work. It says that all is equal and fair – no one wins or loses.
In the interest of saving someone's feelings…truth takes the back seat. This not only affects faith and life decisions but the smaller things as well. The biggest crime in all this relativism is that it strips truth from the equation.
Pushing through tough times, honing a skill, being accountable and self reliant, all these wonderful benefits of right and wrong, success and failure get cast aside if there's not a measuring rod of truth showing you where you're doing well, and where you can improve.
Truth by its very nature is exclusionary. To make a factual statement, to speak truth is to exclude all other false options. FULL POST

American Family Association Urges Christians to Contact the Air Force Academy to Stand Up for Cadet's Religious Liberties
TUPELO, Miss.—The Air Force Academy has removed a Bible verse written on a cadet's whiteboard after it determined the posting had offended other cadets, according to a story by FoxNews' Todd Starnes.
Now, American Family Association (AFA, www.afa.net) is urging Christians around the country to contact the Air Force Academy to present a unified stand for the cadet's religious liberties. The cadet had written Galatians 2:20 on the whiteboard outside his room: "I have been crucified with Christ therefore I no longer live, but Christ lives in me..."
"This is another example in a growing list of religious discrimination offenses by the Air Force Academy," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "When constitutionally-protected speech based on Christian faith is expressed at the Air Force Academy, why is it immediately censored? The Air Force has once again caved to the whims of anti-Christian bigotry from the likes of Mikey Weinstein." FULL POST

I had the opportunity to see a pre-screening of the Son of God movie at Saddleback Church recently and wanted to share something with you. Pastor Rick Warren hosted the film's producers, Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, at the special screening for local pastors. And despite what some of you may look at as just another well-oiled promotional campaign, I urge you to get past any skepticism about the movie's theatrical release on Feb 28 and get engaged in any way you can.
I recommend beginning with prayer. Do not simply say, "Oh, too much hype." Get past that.
In my opinion, this movie will impact the world for Jesus more so than any movie previously. It's like "The Passion of the Christ" without the "art" (beautiful as it was) and much more representative of The Bible, especially the spoken words, verse by verse. FULL POST

Does God Matter? Finding Your Moral Footing in the Quicksand of Secularism
Biola University campus, La Mirada, California
We live in trying times. Those of us who take belief in the God of the Bible seriously feel burdened by the problems that arise in our increasingly secular society. People are abandoning truth, Western culture is failing, and the lines between right and wrong are becoming irrevocably blurred. Two prominent voices, one Jewish and one evangelical Christian, will appear on stage together to engage in an open, honest and entertaining dialogue about the challenges we face as a nation and civilization. This is about asking and answering tough questions in a God-honoring and purposeful way!
Join us for an evening with nationally-syndicated radio show host Dennis Prager and world-renowned Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias. The evening will be hosted by famed radio show host Frank Sontag of Los Angeles' KKLA 99.5 FM.

Talk about a Twitter (and Facebook) firestorm! One has been raging since last Sunday. NBC Football Night in America commentator and former NFL coach Tony Dungy said he wasn't as concerned about Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman's controversial on-field interview after the playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers as he was about the defensive back's actions immediately following his victory-saving play. Dungy, a leader in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, released a video (below) of his thoughts about the controversy on his blog on the All Pro Dad website Wednesday.
"I wasn't focused in as much on his interview as I was on what happened directly after the interception on the last play," Dungy said. "He went and really approached Michael Crabtree, appeared to be mocking him a little bit, Crabtree pushed him a little bit, and they get into a little confrontation. FULL POST

World Help is traveling with five passionate storytellers on an adventure into Africa . . . and you're invited to join the journey, say the bloggers at the humanitarian group. The organization invites you to follow the team as they use their words to paint a new picture of Africa—one rising from the ashes of poverty.
Project: Rescue Homes
We are raising funds to build and outfit 3 rescue homes. Too many children wander the dangerous slums of Uganda hungry, sick, and utterly alone. Operation Baby Rescue is intervening and saving countless lives.
On this trip, the World Help Bloggers will be launching the campaign for a much-needed expansion of the Baby Rescue Center in Uganda—Rescue Homes. These facilities are designed to provide holistic care for children who would otherwise be left for dead. Starting with the completion of a partially built home and then constructing even more, these homes will bring life to thousands of children for generations to come. We hope you'll Join the Rescue.

Two-thousand thirteen was a year of heartbreaking personal tragedies suffered by Christian leaders, and The Christian Post and the Church & Ministry gave due coverage. In early April, Southern California-based megachurch pastor Rick Warren, and his wife, Kay, lost their son, Matthew, to suicide. Warren grieved quite publicly by journaling through social media, and he and his wife helped bring the issue of mental health to the forefront of the Christian community.

Richard Land: 'Gay Thought and Speech Police Attack Reality Show Star for Paraphrasing Bible Verse!'
Charlotte, N.C.— In the wake of this morning's news that Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the reality television show on the A&E cable network, was dismissed from "Duck Dynasty" by the network for his comments about homosexuality and sexual sin in America, a backlash has begun that A&E never expected.
A&E put Robertson on an indefinite hiatus from the show after the family head talked about his beliefs on sexual sin in the January issue of the men's magazine "GQ." Robertson compared homosexuality to adultery and other sin.
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty," the network said in a statement today. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely." FULL POST

I never thought I'd say this, but it's undeniably true: Marilyn Manson is getting better with age. Case in point: "No Reflection," the first leak from his upcoming album Born Villain (out May 1). Listen below.
Goth's go-to creepoid is on a streak. His last album, The High End of Low, saw him reunite with original guitarist Twiggy Ramirez after a seven-year break for some downright tuneful and smart murder ballads (check out my fave "Running to the Edge of the World"). But with "No Reflection" Manson and co. are thrashing and grinding, just like in their days of ole.
In a statement Manson said, "The new record put simply has the ambition and determination of how I started making music in the first place. It sounds like the first record in that it's not afraid to do anything. I had to remove myself from my lifestyle and start fresh."
In an upcoming Revolver cover story Manson added that Born Villain "sounds like what I listened to before I made records—Killing Joke, Joy Division, Revolting Cocks, Bauhaus, Birthday Party… It's very rhythm-driven. I think this will probably be the grandest concept record of all."
He might be right.
Listen to "No Reflection" below, then tell us what you think in the comments.

Here's an except:
It's hard to find a hairbrush for hair like mine. Actually, my hair eats hairbrushes, snaps them right in half. And I'd chop it all off, maybe donate it to one of those foundations that makes wigs for people in chemo or for people with bad combovers, but my "mother" insists I keep it because it's so gosh darn perdy—oh, and she needs it to get into the tower. I keep telling her that she should buy a broom, and it's so much more convenient than a motor vehicle. For some reason, she takes offense to that.
I don't have much background on this story other than it was inspired by a Lightspeed (formerly Fantasy) story about Rapunzel's mother, but I wanted to do something upbeat and funny, with a little dark twist. If the voice sounds familiar, Rapunzel was the prototype voice for Lorelei in "The Ungreat Escape." I adored the voice so much, I had to use it again.
You can pick up the anthology for $2.99 at either Amazon or Smashwords.
If anyone wants a free copy to review, by all means, please leave your email address in the comments and I'll forward it to the editor.
And may the horribleness be with you!

Judge Orders Temporary Ban on 'Ben & Cherry's' Porn Films
Ben & Jerry's has put some pornographic films on ice.
On Tuesday, the ice cream giant sued Rodax Distributors and Caballero Video for releasing movies that allegedly infringe the trademarks on ice cream flavors.
Now, Ben & Jerry's has convinced a New York judge to issue a temporary restraining order that takes such films as Hairy Garcia, Boston Cream Thigh and Peanut Butter D-Cups off the porn video shelves.
It's not uncommon for adult entertainment industry players to get into legal trouble. Porn producers always seem to be looking for good inspiration to keep sex movies interesting, and riffing on popular culture has become a popular avenue to do that. But trademark holders don't always sit back to enjoy the show. Witness a dispute between the owners of the "Three Stooges" brand and one porn maker earlier this year.
But ice cream?
In the latest lawsuit, Vermont-based Ben & Jerry's asserts that the porn titles being released under the series name "Ben & Cherry's" will dilute its ice cream confections business. The too milky porn title names include Chocolate Fudge Babes instead of B&J's "Chocolate Fudge Brownie" and Coconut 7 Lay-Her Bar instead of B&J's "Coconut Seven Layer Bar."
It's not only the titles. Ben & Jerry's also has trade dress issues with the DVD packaging, saying it's too similar to the way that the company's ice cream is presented to consumers.
The first court hearing in the case has been scheduled for Wednesday in New York.
In the meantime, Judge Lewis Kaplan has temporarily banned sale, distribution, advertisement, and promotion of the offending products.
The cost to Ben & Jerry's of getting rid of Banana Clit and other porn films for a week is a $10,000 bond -- about 2,000 pints of ice cream -- plus whatever the ice cream company is paying its lawyers at Duane Morris in cash or frozen yogurt.

I finally had time to film something other than my weekly comic book pull lists this week. June and July have been incredible. I've been working hard, seeing friends and spending quality time with the husband. I have also been binge watching so many cartoons and managed to find some wonderful toys that I wanted to share with you all so I made a monthly favourites video for you to watch. I hope you enjoy it.
Don't forget there is still time to enter to win a copy of my favourite book from the past month; Confidence-Diary of an invisible girl by Paige Lavoie.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week. What was your favourite part of June/July? Did you get you to anything exciting?

Nope. Getting young guys is what rebuilding is all about. We'll have plenty of cap space with the bulk of our roster being on rookie scale contracts. You don't want to be chasing guys in their prime during free agency. It doesn't end well. Harden wasn't a surefire mvp candidate when Houston paid more than okc would pay for their 3rd option. It seemed to have been the right choice. Porter will assuredly be a reliable 3 and D guy. With a pg in the draft and a decent cast of bugs, we're an elite sg away from being competitive in 3-4 years. At that point, Otto will have bonded with our nucleus and he'll be 27 years old entering his prime.

AMA Call To Action On Health Records Should Tell Doctors To Heal Themselves
The American Medical Association (AMA) is one of the most powerful and well-known institutions in this country. Opposition from the AMA helped to bury hopes for universal healthcare back in the Harry Truman presidency, and now the AMA maintains a stranglehold on Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes and therefore on any innovation in reporting medical services. So when the AMA puts out a press release titled AMA Calls for Design Overhaul of Electronic Health Records to Improve Usability, describing the serious usability problems of EHRs, and announcing the release of their "solution" white paper titled Improving Care: Priorities to Improve Electronic Health Record Usability, headlines get made and policy-makers start to stir. Can a snap of the fingers by the AMA bring the EHR industry in line? Read More »
Application Deadline to Host OpenMRS 2018 Annual Implementers Meet Coming Up
The deadline to apply to host the 2018 International OpenMRS Implementers conference is coming up on April 30 [updated]. Nations that want to host the meeting need to answer the detailed questionnaire by that time. For those Open Health News readers who have missed one of the greatest health IT stories of the decade, the Government of Uganda hosted the 2016 OpenMRS meeting in their capital city of Kampala. The conference was such an extraordinary success that a large number of other national governments volunteered to host the 2017 Implementer's conference. There are currently close to 40 countries around the world where OpenMRS is being implemented throughout the county in large-scale deployments.

Burgess Bill Addresses Interoperability, the Leading Health IT Issue in the US
Health care reformers around the country should be jumping up to thank Representative Michael C. Burgess (R-Texas), an MD who is working with his staff to write a bill to promote Health IT interoperability. Readers of Open Health News probably know that interoperability--in simple terms, the ability of any authorized user to read a medical record from any source--has emerged as one of the two top burning issues of health IT, the other one being the lack of usability of proprietary/lock-in electronic health records (EHRs).
Community Health Network in Houston Leverages Open Source Tech to Help Victims of Hurricane Harvey
Undaunted by the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in Houston, the Stephen F. Austin Community Health Network (SFA) responded to the crisis by leveraging open source technology to reach out to their patients and victims of the hurricane in areas of Texas that are virtually inaccessible. The Health Network, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) covering Brazoria County, is one of the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey and currently recovering. Using an advanced cloud-based version of the OpenEMR software, the SFA Community Health Network has been able to treat patients in clinics physically unreachable by their medical providers.

DHIS2 - Transforming Health IT Standards in the Developing World (Part 2)
Rwanda's 2012 implementation of DHIS2 is one of at least 16 completed national rollouts of this free and open source health data management. A total of 54 countries are deploying DHIS2 on a national scale, 30 of which are in the pilot stage or early phase in their rollouts. Since DHIS2's release in 2006, NGOs and national governments in 60 countries have deployed DHIS2 for health-related projects, including patient health monitoring, improving disease surveillance and pinpointing outbreaks, and speeding up health data access.
EHR Systems & Cost Transparency in the Healthcare Industry
Cost transparency is obviously a big issue in the healthcare industry. Whether it's the amazing variation in costs hospitals charge patients for similar medical procedures, or the costs associated with acquiring and implementing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system for a hospital - Why are all these costs often carefully hidden? Is there something special about the healthcare industry that says – "Let's not talk about how much things really cost." Apparently, many industry leaders must feel that hospitals boards and patients have no need to know this information. Read More »
Global Open Source Health IT Project Gets $1 Million Donation From Cryptocurrency Philanthropy

Now in its 14th year, OpenMRS is being used in countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Rwanda, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Uganda, Tanzania, Haiti, India, China, the United States, Pakistan, and many other places. This work is supported in part by many organizations including international and government aid groups, as well as for-profit and nonprofit corporations. Read More »
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Draw the Line - Time for the US to Embrace Open Source Emergency and Disaster Response
For nearly 20 years now the global open source community and applications have been a keystone to disaster relief efforts around the world. The enormous number of disaster relief applications and knowledge that has been developed through all these years, should, and needs to be leveraged in the current crisis. For that reason, Open Health News is starting a series of articles to highlight some of the most important solutions. A substantial portion the open source applications for emergency and disaster response that exist are actually already on the news website in the form of articles and resource pages.

O'Reilly Report Explores Open Solutions to Health IT
Although many programmers and public interest advocates come to the concepts of free software, standards, open data, and transparent institutions out of idealism, modern businesses and governments are being driven to these same solutions out of the practical need to meet high expectations with diminishing resources. The ways in which the health care field has been incrementally adopting these paths are the subject of a new report, written by me and released by O'Reilly Media, called The Information Technology Fix for Health: Barriers and Pathways to the Use of Information Technology for Better Health Care.

Obama and Biden Blast EHR Vendors for Data Blocking
As they are winding their terms in office, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden dropped a stink bomb on the health IT industry. Speaking at different events on Friday, January 9th, the President and Vice President both criticized proprietary electronic health record (EHR) vendors as the primary obstacle to the success of their administration's health care strategy. This is the highest level acknowledgement so far of the serious impact that "lock-in" EHR software vendors are having on America's medical infrastructure and the ability of physicians to provide medical care.

The most important announcement related to the 2015's achievements was Peru's inclusion in the list of the 10 countries that reduced hiv's mortality rate faster between 1990 and 2013, a list that was published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The other 9 countries that are included in this list are Honduras, Jamaica, Cape Verde, Burkina Faso, Thailand, Rwanda, Burundi, India, and Cambodia.
For 2016, Peru has set as one of their most important objectives the start of the 90-90-90 goals which aim to achieve that 90% of the people with hiv know their diagnosis, that 90% of them receives antiretroviral treatment and that out of that percentage receiving treatment, 90% has an undetectable viral load. At this very moment, only 50% of the people who have hiv know their diagnosis and consequently, not everybody receives antiretroviral treatment and it is still difficult that the people who receive treatment have an undetectable viral load.
Similarly, Peru wants to reduce the percentage of mother-to-child transmission from 4 to 0% as it has been achieved in Cuba.
Regarding the trans community, in 2016, the Ministry of Health will promote a plan focused on trans population in Lima and Callao, which encompasses an investment in medical care facilities that will provide differentiated health care.
It is important to highlight the approval of the Multisectoral Plan for the Prevention and Control of Sexually Transmitted Infections – STI and hiv 2015-2019 intended to foster the access to promotion, prevention, attention and comprehensive treatment services for people with hiv in a local, regional and national level.
As to the indigenous communities, the Ministry of Health and the Binational Border Development Plan between Peru and Ecuador will work together to strengthen the prevention and hiv control actions through a cooperation agreement with a investment of 462,300 nuevos soles until 2017.
Finally, it is proposed to update the Standard of Care to TARGA adults, so as to include the recommendations given by the World Health Organization that state that the viral load number is irrelevant to start the hiv treatment and that everybody should be able to start their treatment as soon as possible.
