DJ Boomburst
More than anything else in the world, Jared is a student who is infatuated with music. Not classical music of course. Not the subtle melodies of a Kricketune or the wistful lullaby of a Lapras, but of the throbbing, pounding, visceral beat of an Exploud. With mixing beats and rhythms to achieve the perfect blend of excitement and contentment that came with a phenomenal remix. He bought his first mixer when he was 13 and has been playing with his own remakes of popular songs by The Hitmontops and Beartic City. When he arrived at high school, he quickly managed to snag himself the title of school DJ, and he's been working the school dances ever since. He's always seen with a pair of speakers hanging from his belt or backpack that are sync'd to his pokegear - which has a DJ app on it of course - and he often plays music in the hallways going from class to class. His dorm supervisors have oftentimes been forced to talk with Jared about the loud music coming from his room, and, despite his popularity for being a talented DJ, many people get annoyed with the constant music whenever they spend time with the aspiring artist.
Jared and Hertz have been together for years. Jared found the Whismur shortly after his 15th birthday, and the two have been together ever since. While the small pink pokemon lacks the control of its vocal cords that it will gain on evolution, Jared doesn't seem to mind the horrendously loud outbursts by his friend. Maybe its something about always being around loud music that has helped him ignore sounds like Hertz's crying.
Jared is rather new to the Pokemon Club, having only joined a few months ago to see if training Pokemon might help his career: all great celebrities seemed to be pokemon trainers, and he was sure that pokemon would be able to add a lot to his shows, especially once Hertz had evolved. Despite being new, Jared is a likeable guy, and he was quickly accepted by most people in the club despite his rather odd focus on overwhelming his opponents with sound waves.

You have to learn to think that way, but, once Ian> you do, it's pretty easy. Benefits are the things you want. Ian> Features are the things which bring you the things you want. If you say so. But you personally still have trouble, it seems: I don't think I have trouble, although I apparently misunderstood your question. Sure, you can respond "I declare benefits `volatile'," but as Stroustrup points out, most programmers don't notice that declaration. If it works for _you_, great! But my experience in teaching (personal and watching my colleagues) is that it is too easy to reify student "benefits" into something static, then associate them, more or less permanently, with "features" that we put into lectures. Fortunately for us, we have tenure, so that doesn't put us out of business. You have to be careful with anything. You have to be just as careful with a focus on what you can do to make customers happy. You may wind up solving the particular problems your existing customers have, without noticing that they are highly customer specific, and that you aren't getting any new customers. You would presumably say that you have to avoid that mistake. I say that I have to avoid the mistake you pointed out. None of this is theory, or perhaps I should say that what theory there is is quite obvious once you see it. It's all practice. That's why so many people do it badly--certainly including myself, but not including, say, Bob Young, or Proctor & Gamble. Ian> The second question tells you how to find new customers--it Ian> tells you what market segments to focus on. Again, you are presuming your product as currently defined by its features. In the short run, you must do that to survive---but in the long run, you want to find out where the customers are going, and be there when they arrive.[1] There may not be very many customers in shouting distance of your current product. What then? I agree that features vs. benefits is a short run issue. You have to solve the long run, but you also have to solve the short run. This is business: if you don't solve the short run, there is no long run. To succeed, you have to make the short run serve the long run. They are not independent. Ian

Lifetime OR resident. Just getting back into hunting after a period of bad health, largely due to watching Fresh Tracks. The show inspired me to take my youngest son on his first eastern OR deer hunt last year (Silvies Unit). We had a blast. So I thought Hunt Talk made sense. So I've started applying all over the west for big game. Since I'm only familiar with OR, I thought a board like this made sense, since I've never hunted out of state. I hope to share my experiences getting back into hunting and glean some helpful insights from Hunt Talk members along the way.
I've never hunted OR eastside for mule deer. Our goal was to get a deer, no trophy considerations at all. I've driven through Burns, OR and always wanted to hike and hunt the Silvies Unit. I spent 8 months pouring over maps trying to identify areas to hunt. I had multiple areas selected evenly across the entire unit. We left a week before season so we could scout these areas and select our final hunting spot. We also took some time in the field to make sure my son's rifle was sighted in properly. He'd been practicing all summer.
.243 at 100 yards.
At 300 yards.
We were very mobile in our scouting, moved around a lot, and after 5 days of scouting finally selected an area that had a lot of deer sign, and some decent bucks. I will pause right here and say this about the Silvies, I'm not sure it has any more deer than a lot of other units, but when you find deer, there are a number of them. As it turns out...drum roll please...these areas are WELL known to everyone else too! Go figure. I can't imagine your going to find a spot in the Silvies where your going to get into good numbers of deer, without good numbers of people. That is just a pipe dream. Thursday evening it sounded and felt like a tsunami of RVs, trucks, and trailers were trying to escape the Apocalypse. Before we knew it the countryside was dotted with camps, in a matter of about 4 hours. Just on a whim, we drove around to the other spots I had located to see what kind of camping activity they had attracted, yep, they were loaded with hunters as well. I always like to have a backup plan, and my backup plans were all crowded. I had located some closed roads near our preferred area and figured we would have to hit those areas to get away from what I was anticipating to be a sea of hunter orange. I will make another observation here. The Silvies is an awesome place to visit and camp, it seems there are thousands of camping spots. I think the downside of that is that it facilitates bringing everyone, including the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th cousins. There are only about 800 rifle tags, but there has to be a minimum of 4-5 people for every tag, and that's conservative. So there are at least 3000 folks (maybe as many as 5000) running around the woods during rifle season...man that is A LOT of dust. I'm still blowing it out of my nose. First day we hiked in a a few miles past some gates and boy was it beautiful.
We saw 20 does that morning...not a single buck. Which was quite a surprise. We saw a few larger bucks on the trail cams. Which is not too uncommon, they are nocturnal most of the hunting season anyway. Temps were high, I think mid 80s and it was dry. We made our way back to camp and saw some deer that were pushed by hunters cross the road in front of us no more than 100 yards from camp. So for lunch I set up some trail cams right around camp. I had my son bring his rifle just in case. As it turns out we saw 12 does over the next few hours, some of them bedded down beside the main road. They couldn't have cared less that hundreds of trucks and trailers were passing within 200ft of them. Still no bucks.
We spent the evening checking some trail cams, saw a cougar. I couldn't get a shot off before it jumped into the brush. OR has over the counter cougar tags, but you're no longer allowed to use dogs. Later found out there was a guzzler next to the road where I saw the cougar. Which brings up another sore spot. There are a number of guzzlers in the Silvies, they don't seem to be too hidden. We came across quite a few of them. Too bad every guzzler had about 3 camps within a 1000ft of them. Every morning you could find two dozen hunters loafing around them like its a break room. I think bombarding the guzzlers with hunters probably pushes deer out of an area faster then anything else. It was hilarious to find a few trucks parked within eye distance of a guzzler, road hunting.
All total we saw 6 other hunters in our gated area. Way too many for such a small area. The next morning we hiked into an area that I was anticipating to be very steep, hoping we would see less hunters...nope. It was a really surprised how small the canyons were compared to how they are portrayed in Google Earth. They look a lot bigger in Google Earth. Some of the areas I was hoping would naturally filter out some of the hunters due to terrain difficulty, did not pan out that way. We saw about 12 other hunters that morning. We did not jump any deer ourselves, but we had 16 does pushed into our path by other hunters. I think we may have had a buck within 50 yards at first light. The ground was very dry and still hunting across flats and terraces could not be done too quietly. We got pegged by a deer and heard it snort and take off. I thought I saw horns as it bounded away in the thick brush.
After two days of lots of hunters and lots of does I decided to abandon the area and move to an area with less deer and less hunters. My thought was that although there will be less deer, less hunters might actually end up resulting in more bucks being seen. So we picked up our camp and trail cams and drove 1.5 hours to a far corner of the unit where we actually saw most camp sites unattended. In our scouting we had not seen a lot of sign in this area, but had picked up a few deer on cams earlier. We quickly set up camp the evening of our 2nd day and picked a spot on the map we would hike into in the morning. So far we had hiked about 18 miles in two days. We woke up the morning of the third day to snow flurries and overcast skies and set off for some canyons behind another locked gate. Some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen. We saw 4 deer. One buck about a mile away, running at a dead sprint.
When we got back to the truck it was obvious my son's eyes were glazed over and I could tell I had just about lost him mentally. He's has had a deer in his cross-hairs each of the three years previous. But due to ethics or safety, the shot was not taken. His first deer, it never came broadside enough. His second, it was unclear if the area behind the target was clear or not. His third, the deer was just on private. I knew he had to be successful this year, or it would be hard for me to get him to be motivated to deer hunt in the future. Add to that 3 days and almost 21 miles of hiking and no bucks...he was not having fun. Those miles destroyed his new boots by the way. Note to self: don't skimp on boot $ next time...you know better.
I did not want to him to lose interest in hunting so I was willing to hunt grouse if needed (he loves hunting grouse). We had seen a number of coyotes, so I asked him if he was interested in calling some coyotes. He readily agreed. It has been snowing all morning and I told him I wanted to scout some areas on the way back to camp. So for another 3 hours we used the spotting glass to check out some areas along some finger roads. Almost back to camp he looks up and says..."wouldn't it be hilarious if we see a buck going back to get the predator calls?" As I was about to respond, I saw a doe cross the road in front of us and hit the brakes. She did not seem too concerned about us and started browsing away from the truck. I looked behind her to see a few more does filtered through the brush and come across the road. I asked my son how many deer he saw, he said three. I also saw three. By this time I had the binos out scouring their heads for horns...no luck. So we sat there and just watched them. I didn't feel too hurried and figured we would just let them graze off the road a ways and then get back to camp without interrupting or harassing them. As we sat there, I thought to myself, this would have been too easy. All this hiking and preparation only to shoot a deer not 5 minutes from camp and barely 100ft off the side of the road, I felt myself being both relived and disappointed at the same time.
Although we both saw 3 deer, we did not both see the same 3 deer. The first doe that grazed away from the road was not one of the 3 deer my son saw. But its one of the three I counted. As I pulled away from the deer my son yelled, "DAD ONE OF THEM HAS HORNS!" I slammed on the brakes and grabbed my binos. I couldn't locate the alleged horns, or the deer supposed to be wearing them. My son grew more frantic, "Dad...he's getting away!" Sadly, my first instinct was not to trust my son. I had already counted the deer, and made sure none of them were bucks. I had visions of a doe in the brush wearing twig and leaf headgear and having to explain to OSP that yes my son had taken hunter safety, and yes he had just shot a doe with a buck tag.
My eyes have gotten pretty bad. So I took a deep breath and pulled the truck over. I frantically helped him get the rifle and the tripod out (he may have had buck fever, but I think a dad's "first time" fever is worse). The deer were still browsing away and I still had not located the deer with horns. I set up the tripod and my son positioned it so he could get a good rest. As I continued to look for the deer I heard my son saying, "he's over there" without any accompanying hand gestures to indicate exactly what direction "over there" was. As I complained his instructions were inadequate, he confirmed he saw horns through the scope and that the area behind the deer was clear. I only saw two does. At the same time, I was also figuring that my son would eventually be hunting without the old man looking over his shoulder someday. He's been taught well, I said to myself, so as I'm still looking for the buck, I told him, "if you see horns, click off the safety, breathe, fire when your ready"...as I crossed my fingers. Boom! I saw a deer raise up straight into the air and knew immediately it was hit. I figured it would drop right there in its tracks. It was only about 30 yards away. With fingers still crossed, I took off down the hill praying I was going to see horns on that deer. Prayer answered.
I can honestly say I have never been so excited in my life. We jumped and shouted for 30 minutes. Poured over every second of the hunt up to that point and couldn't believe our luck. It seems that even under these circumstances, its my best hunting experience to date, probably for life. Who would have thought road-hunting could be so exciting. Not the hunt I would have scripted...but I wouldn't change a thing. We talked about perseverance, discipline, keeping a positive attitude, and grinding out success, and the blessing of a little luck. All attributes and qualities he will need to be successful in life. Yes it was only 3 days...but in "son days" it might as well have been two weeks. I would have loved to spend the entire season out there and get nothing, that country is beautiful, but I did not have a tag. So we cleaned up, packed camp, and made it back home that same night. It was a great experience. Hope your hunting season leaves you with wonderful memories and remember this Randy Newburg quote, "you will run out of health, before you run out of money"...go hunting...before you can't anymore.

Naughty Dog Is Considering The Last of Us Sequel
This is something that Naughty Dog shouldn't even entertain but The Last of us writer Neil Druckmann suggested that a sequel might even spawn a new IP. In fact, they might just start an entirely new IP.
Speaking with Eurogamer, Druckmann said, "We just wrapped up Left Behind, and Bruce Straley, the game director, and I have been doing this for over four years now. So it's just time for a break, and to recharge the batteries.
- You'll Be Able To Play (Expensive) PS2 Games On Your PS4 Now | 2 months ago
- Jessica Jones Disempowers Its Male Characters And The Effect Is Refreshing | 2 months ago
- Hell Is 30 000 Deathclaws Tearing Through Boston And It's Glorious | 2 months ago
- Sony Santa Monica Is Teasing Something Truly Strange | 2 months ago
"We have started brainstorming some stuff. To be honest, some of them are sequel ideas, and some of them are brand new IP – we've spent the last few weeks brainstorming new IP. So we have to get some good steps and see… It's kind of like how we approached Left Behind.
"Can we tell people a story that's really worth telling, and that's not repeating itself? And if we can't, where can we get inspired – what is something that's really going to challenge us, and push storytelling in this medium forward?"
When asked to discuss rumours that The Last of Us is coming to PS4 with Left Behind bundled, Druckmann replied "We have such limited resources, and it's a question of where you put the resources. It's something where we can have a feel of where the demand is, and where our time is best spent. It's something that we'll figure out as we move forward."
Naughty Dog is currently working on Uncharted for PS4 but what would you like to see them do next?
Personally, I'd like something as impactful as The Last of Us that pushes their ability as developers. Wishful thinking tells me to ask for a new Crash Bandicoot game.

Hypnosis is all about planting an idea in your head. Hypnotherapy is overcoming negative thoughts, and replacing them with empowering ones. Unfortunately, there is a flip side to that coin, the yang to every yin, if you will. For many, many years people have used what they know about the average person's subconscious for personal gain.
Don't believe me? Here's a list of 5 ways people have planted thoughts in your head for their own personal gain. And likely, we've all had experience with them.
1. Salesmen who speak fast.
Idea Planted In Your Head:
"This person knows what they are talking about and are much more trustworthy.
The idea that someone speaking faster makes us believe they are smarter, more trustworthy, and more confident is well documented.
It's a technique they teach to salespeople and you will notice that every infomercial host talks a bit faster than is normal.
While it might be a bit tactless to mention Vince Shlomi (the ShamWoW guy)…we thought he was annoying but man did he know a lot about sponges.
2. Sequential Request Compliance Techniques
Idea Planted In Your Head:
Most commonly known as the "foot in the door" technique, it's been around sales circles forever. It's also pretty big with door-to-door televangelists/salesman as the name implies.
The idea is that if you say yes once, you are more likely to say yes again. It's been proven time and again to be true. So someone will start with small, inconsequential questions and move onto big ones. Each time you say yes, you are more likely to say yes to the next question.
"Do you like children?"
"Will you sign this petition increasing the power of the FCC with television?"
The link between the two isn't strong, but even if you dislike the FCC, you are much more likely to sign the petition if the first question is asked instead of them just asking the 2nd.
3. Mirrors
Idea planted in your head
"O man, is that me? I should buy some beauty crap or something."
It's common knowledge that people are unhappy with their appearance, pretty much all the time. We, more than anyone else are the most judgmental of our flaws and stores aren't above exploiting that for their gain. They crowd mirrors in beauty aisles so that you will look at them and think "is that what I look like?" and run around and buy up the diet pills and wrinkle creams that litter the shelves around you.
4. Flattery the Right Way
Idea planted in your head:
"I like you and want to buy what you're selling"
Along the same lines as number 3, people generally dislike straight up flattery. Either we think it's a ruse or we don't believe them because often times we're insecure. So how to flatter you without putting you on edge? Phrase it in the form of a question.
"Where did you get that dress? I would love something like that!"
works much better than "That's a beautiful dress."
5. Choosing the Right Words
Idea Planted in you head:
"Wow, they're just like me!"
This is a much more advanced technique and isn't easy to see through. Knowing the right words for the right person is a great way to earn your trust. There are times when the power of a single word can change how persuasive they are.
And hold onto your britches if they ask you a personal question about your past. A salesman can take the way you react to it and determine your Chosen Representational System. Then, suddenly they're your bestest friend in the whole wide world.
The salesman will use the words "I think" around men and the words "I feel" around women.
Hypnosis can be a hard pill to swallow because it's a pretty large and all-encompassing field. The truth of the matter is that even if you don't believe in the power of your subconscious, that's not stopping the world from using it to help themselves.
Why not use it to help yourself?

Apple is Creating a 'Time Bandits' TV Show for Their Streaming Service
Posted on Friday, July 27th, 2018 by Chris Evangelista
Apple refuses to stop adding shows to their streaming service. Don't even try to stop them. The latest: a Time Bandits TV series, based on Terry Gilliam's film of the same name. The Time Bandits series joins an ever-growing list of eclectic original programming set to debut on Apple's streaming service.

We recently published an article on the hottest Jessicas in Hollywood, and thought it only fair to follow up with a scoop on the hottest Jennifers. The names Jennifer and Jessica are, after all, quite similar in many ways. They both start with a J, they both have three syllables, and if either moniker is yours, odds are you are a pretty attractive person.
Even compared to biblical names, the name Jennifer is fairly old. It goes back to the Old English, medieval name Gwenhwyfar, who was a character in the legendary story of King Arthur, first published back in 1136. Bible names weren't that popular until the Geneva Bible came out in 1560, or even more popular with the King James Bible of 1611. The name Jennifer means "the fair one," or "white phantom," or our favorite, "enchantress."
The Jennifers on this list are definitely enchanting. We've scoured the globe to find the hottest examples, from music to film to sports, and sneaked in a few throwbacks too. In the end, it's hard to say whether Jessicas or Jennifers are hotter. This is a very close race. Take a look at our list and decide for yourself.
15 Jennifer Lawrence
We'll start with a very popular actress, who everybody knows. Jennifer Lawrence rushed onto the Hollywood scene with an Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone. Then she followed up shortly after with an Oscar win in Silver Linings Playbook. Her success was found so quickly that her career seems to be in a lull ever since. She was received well with her Hunger Games series, but then what happened? It seems like most dudes aren't that impressed with her anymore. Was she a victim of overexposure? Were her movie roles too serious, or was it her off-camera persona that turned people off? Either way she is still a popular celebrity, great actress, and as always, a gorgeous Jennifer.
14 Jennifer Garner
Here is a Jennifer who was about as hot as it could get, like ten years ago. She was a huge star in Alias, and all the fanboys wanted to see more. Then after her marriage to Ben Affleck, Garner hit the brakes hard for a while. You can't blame her for wanting to spend time with her kids, but the movie roles totally disappeared for years, leaving us to forget how hot she was. Garner returned with a great supporting role in Dallas Buyers Club, but still, her personal life trumped her movie career. Affleck had that affair with their nanny, then he had the alcoholism counselling, and all the while, Garner was just standing in the background with that WTF look on her face. Now she is more known for doing annoying credit card commercials than anything else.
13 Jennifer Love-Hewitt
Jennifer Love-Hewitt had every 90s boy in the palm of her hand. She was the hottest girl next door that we could ever hope for. Her role on Party of Five catapulted her to fame, and then she starred in Can't Hardly Wait, and then the I know What You Did Last Summer films. She had reached the pinnacle of her success, but then what happened? Well, our sweet, beautiful Jen believed she could make it as a musical act. She wasted loads of time and talent touring and cutting albums, when she should have been busy doing movies instead. No big deal though, she took the missteps in stride, and ended up landing a pretty good TV gig with the supernatural drama, Ghost Whisperer. She tried doing a sitcom with Hot in Cleveland for a few years, and then attempted to rejuvenate Criminal Minds right before it was cancelled.
12 Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Connelly has got to be one of the prettiest actresses in Hollywood. She is an undervalued actress who shows up now and then to the pleasure of many fans. She was great in the Oscar winning bio pic, A Beautiful Mind. In that film, Russell Crowe stars as John Nash, the real life math genius who struggled with paranoid schizophrenia. His "imaginary" roommate was played by Paul Bettany, who is Connelly's real life husband and father to her three kids. Connelly has worked with just about everybody in the business from Leo DiCaprio to Kate Winslet. Her latest film, to be released this fall, is called Granite Mountain. The subject of the film is an Arizona wildfire that took the lives of nineteen men in 2013. The movie features an all star cast and should be a big hit.
11 Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson is an Oscar winning actress and singer who got her start appearing on American Idol. She didn't look this hot back then though. The seventh place finish on the famous talent contest inspired her to improve her look, and her amazing voice. When she killed it with her performance in Dreamgirls, everybody knew she was going to win the Academy Award. Since that film she has been bouncing here and there to different projects. In 2008, several members of her family were brutally murdered in her native Chicago, and since then, the actress and singer has increased her involvement in politics and charity work. In much happier personal news, she is engaged to former WWE star David Otunga, and is the mother of his son. If you haven't heard this woman sing, you've gotta check it out. She's funny too. She did a Carpool Karaoke with James Cordon that was hilarious, especial when they entered a fast food drive-thru and she sang her cheeseburger order.
10 Jen Selter
Jen Selter is an internet star, one of many who have launched their careers by looking super hot on Instagram. Jen is known for being fit and showing off her round rear end. She presents herself as a fitness guru, and likes to give advice, offering up words of wisdom on her website. She states that "worrying is pain" and she tries to help her followers stay healthy and positive. She also offers fitness plans and challenges to encourage an active lifestyle. The results of her mental and physical strategies are awe inspiring, with a body so hot that it was literally all she needed to become famous. Selter has appeared in many magazines including Elle, FHM, Vanity Fair and Maxim. She's 23 years old and is from New York. Is that it? Did we mention that she has a nice butt?
9 Jennifer Nettles
If you don't like country music, you probably don't know who in the hell this girl is, but she has one of the best voices and bodies in the business. Jennifer Nettles sings with a warbly type of vibrato, which is very distinctive. She came up in a band called Sugarland. The Atlanta based group has sold over 14 million records and has won 2 Grammys. The duo group actually used to be a trio. Kristen Hall founded the band, and was basically unused and pushed aside. She sued the remaining members of the group in 2008, wanting $14-million in lost revenue. Sugarland countered with $100K and the matter was settled out of court. Nettles and bandmate Kristian Bush, went on to write their 2010 album, The Incredible Machine, which went platinum. The group is currently on a break, and claim they aren't broken up forever. Nettles has hosted several award shows, always wears super low-cut tops, and appears to be mildly intoxicated.
8 Jennifer Grey
We wanted to include some throwbacks here, so let's showcase this 80s hottie, Jennifer Grey. Most notably, she played the lead, Baby, in Dirty Dancing. Supposedly, she and Patrick Swayze didn't get along, but that apparently didn't stop every girl in America from falling in love with the damn flick. If you have an older sister, odds are she watched this movie like a bajillion times. It's getting a reboot too, with Abigail Breslin as Baby. Grey also starred as Ferris Bueller's older sister Jeanie. Grey was a super hot babe of the day and was actually dating her Bueller co-star, Matthew Broderick, on that tragic night in Ireland, when he accidentally hit two people with his car and killed them. After Grey's career stalled, she got an awful nose job, and then nobody could recognize her, and she really wasn't all that hot anymore.
7 Jenny McCarthy
Jenny McCarthy made a name for herself on the pages of Playboy magazine. The beautiful blond quickly transitioned the Hefner gig into a co-host gig on an MTV dating game show called Singled Out. McCarthy's zany sense of humor coupled with her hot bod soon landed the blond on her own sitcom, appropriately entitled Jenny. Jenny lasted a year or two, and when it was cancelled McCarthy stayed busy floating around from sitcom to sitcom. Soon her personal life would take center stage, as she dated Jim Carrey and became an absolute nut about the anti-vax movement. Lately, Jenny is the recurring co-host of Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve with Ryan Seacrest. She married Donnie Wahlberg in 2014 and they have a reality TV show called Donnie Loves Jenny. Her cousin is actress Melissa McCarthy.
6 Jenn Sterger
This is a random sports trivia entry dedicated to those football fans out there. Here's the girl that got the nation's attention when she and her hot friends were cheering on her team in the front row of a Florida State football game. The camera panned over the crowd and suddenly stopped when this beauty captured the lens. Even the commentator for the game, Brent Musburger said that, "1,500 red-blooded Americans just decided to apply to Florida State." Just like Pamela Anderson was discovered at a BC Lions Canadian Football League years before, Sterger's career was immediately launched. She became a Sports Illustrated columnist and a host of the NBC offshoot sports show Versus. But the real reason why sports fans may recognize her name, is because she's the girl that Brett Favre was involved with during his whole sexting scandal. Sterger worked as a sideline commentator for the NY Jets after Favre had left Green Bay, and he just couldn't resist hitting on her. She did not reciprocate the affection and sued. The sad thing is that the scandal tainted her journalistic credibility and her career fizzled.
5 Jennie Garth
Here's another throwback, Jennie Garth, who was made famous by the classic 90s TV show Beverly Hills, 90210. Jennie played Kelly Taylor, who was the lead after Brenda, played by Shannen Doherty, left the show. Her character went through a ton of scandals, including her mom's wicked drug problem, Kelly's eating disorder, and her love triangle with Brenda and Dylan. Kelly was a much loved character who helped transition the crossover to Melrose Place. She was also the first to be cast in the 2008 reboot, 90210. Garth is the queen. She has appeared in more 90210 series episodes and spin-off episodes than any other actor or actress.
4 Jennifer Aniston
Here's a Jennifer who basically broke the mold when it comes to Jens. Her influence during the Friends rein was insane. Every girl wanted to get her hairstyle and her clothing, and every boy wanted to get into her pants. She married the most eligible bachelor in Hollywood, Brad Pitt, and they would probably have had the most attractive offspring ever, but then Angelina Jolie showed up and ruined everything. Jen Aniston has that classic, timeless beauty that most actresses and singers strive for. The pictures from her younger days are amazing to view, and she still looks great even today. She attributes her ever-youthful looks to a healthy lifestyle of gardening, exercise, and "not eating junk." The comedy expert has once again wandered into the drama realm, in her latest film, The Yellow Bird, about the Iraq war. Why do comedians always want to do drama? The switch-over is harder to do than you think. Tom Hanks is about the only star who has mastered it.
3 Jennifer Morrison
Jennifer Morrison kind of slips under the radar of the big TV stars, but she actually has a pretty decent resume. She currently stars as Emma Swan on Once Upon A Time. Have you seen this crazy show? It's like the complete corruption of every Disney character ever. Morrison plays a bail bonds agent who turns out to be the lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, and she kicks some butt too. Really? That does not sound like something I want to watch. Other more likable projects of hers include one of Ted's ongoing girlfriends on How I Met Your Mother. What launched her career was her role on House, as Dr Allison Cameron. An interesting bit of sports trivia about Morrison, she was a child model and Chicago suburb native, and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated for Kids with Michael Jordan, in the peak of his career.
2 Jennifer Parker
Okay, we had to sneak a fictional Jen in here too, right? Why not? Jennifer Parker was Marty McFly's hot girlfriend who was played by two different lovely actresses, first Claudia Wells, and then Elisabeth Shue. The latter, on the right, was the queen of the 1980s girlfriends. Shue showed up in classics like Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting, and Cocktail. Shue went on to receive an Oscar nomination for Leaving Las Vegas, and later moved to TV to star on CSI. As for the other Jenn, Wells quit the Back to the Future gig to star as Linda Barret in the Fast Times At Ridgemont High spin-off, the TV series Fast Times. Wells played the sizzling poolside fantasy character made famous by Phoebe Cates in the film. After the TV show was cancelled, Wells showed up here and there on TV shows like the Mentalist.
1 Jennifer Lopez
Here we have the queen of all media, and one of the hardest working women in show business. Jennifer Lopez must have the energy of a hyperactive toddler to be able to do so many projects at one time. For a while there she was hosting American Idol, touring for her album, hosting awards shows, and starring in a network crime drama, Shades of Blue, all at the same time. And that's not including the hours spent raising her twins and maintaining that famous booty of hers in the gym. She's made some stumbles along the way though. Like when she claimed that her Fiat commercial was filmed in the Bronx, but it was actually just a Hollywood set. And her love life is kind of a mess, jumping from Drake to Alex Rodriguez in a week. And she takes more selfies than Instagram can handle! The media barely had time to cover the Drake story before it ended. Try keeping up, bro. The woman moves fast.

Rivers Birth
So I thought it would ease the mind of some of those who have heard some awful stories and let you know that giving birth was one of the most amazing things I have ever done. Giving birth was anything but awful, and after all the horrible stories I heard I wish someone would have told me how wonderful it was.
Was it painful? Yes! Was I nervous? Of course! But it was also much easier than I thought it was going to be. My nurses were amazing, seriously the most loving and patient Women I have ever met. The most common horror story were about the nurses so I was so nervous about getting someone awful, however that was not the case for me. Each and every nurse was wonderful!
Maybe I was just really blessed and for that I am grateful. I know some Women do have it really hard, and I am not saying that those stories I heard were not true or that those Women didn't have a hard birth, but for every awful story I wish I heard one good story, so here is mine.

Sweet of you to share just a glimpse. Blessings on you and your new little one...love that sweet name too! :)ReplyDelete
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOSH, he is SO perfect!!!! What a beautiful boy, seriously. So happy you didn't have a bad experience!! I'm so excited for you two.ReplyDelete
Good for you! He's beautiful! And I love that you are decidedly keeping the birth story close to your heart. I hope you at least write it down somewhere, like in a journal, so you remember it while it's fresh.ReplyDelete
PS, I was checking your blog EVERY DAY to see if you had the baby yet. So glad it was a wonderful experience for you.

Courtney, I met with Ty and Shea at Paul Mitchell yesterday for radio stuff. They asked if I had ever been into the school. I told them you had cut my hair there and that you had had a baby! :) They were stoked. Congrats on your little baby boy bundle! :)ReplyDelete
Congratulations on such a beautiful boy! and good on you for keeping your birth story to yourself (not that I would've minded reading about it!). Very happy for you that you ended up having a great experience, not one of those horror stories that everyone likes to share while you're pregnant! I also had so many people tell me all these awful things and I was absolutely terrified to give birth, but in the end it was amazing. Yes it hurt, but it was also sooo much easier then I was led to believe!ReplyDelete
Congratulations again, he's just beautiful! :)

Body Politic: An Illustrated History
"My Body Politic: An Illustrated History" is
a theatrical adaptation of my memoir, My Body Politic, published
in 2006. I am both the narrator and a participant in the work,
which includes multi media materials (text, sound, images and video),
as well as live performance and audience participation. The work
embeds a personal narrative of the lived experience of disability
within its social and political context (Act 1), and its cultural
and artistic context (Act 2).
The narrative arc of the work begins in 1971, when I was injured
while hitchhiking to Washington, DC to protest the war in Vietnam, and
concludes with a meditation on the war in Iraq and its manufacture of
disability. In the thirty-five years between these wars, the disability
rights movement grew into a political force and a vibrant disability
culture emerged, reshaping what it means to be disabled in America.
One explores my early years with disability and growing awareness of the disability
rights movement. Using my own story, and incorporating the testimony
of members of the disability community, Act One focuses on the political climate
that shapes disabled people's lives.
Act Two
reflects more recent experience, and my entry into the disability arts world
- the emerging cadre of dancers, writers, performers and painters who actively
demonstrate what disability provides the artist rather than what feats someone
can perform despite disability. Archival materials, music and video
are woven through my narrative of the discovery of this genre, to illustrate
how disabled artists exploit their unique configuration of body and voice in
the service of art.
My vision
of a successful performance rests on two equally important measures: first,
the artistic merits of the work; second, the degree to which the work emulates
the ethos of inclusion and integration found in disability culture. When disabled
people gather, a range of techniques is used to assure democratic participation
in the event: ASL interpretation, captioning, audio description etc. A high
level of accommodation is essential to the success of these performances. Decisions
about staging, and about the lighting and acoustic environment of the theatre
are made to maximize the participation of the disabled people in the audience
and those involved in the production.

Help with Datatables Editor in CiviCRM Extension (POST ERROR)
Help with Datatables Editor in CiviCRM Extension (POST ERROR)
Has anyone successfully gotten Editor to load data on CiviCRM? I have tried this as an API call and as a Civi PHP Extension Page. Both give me the same error.
I am able to successfully connect to the DB.
Here is the code:
$editor = Editor::inst( $db, 'civicrm_contact' )
Field::inst( 'sort_name' ),
Field::inst(' id' )
->post( $_POST )
The error I get is
"Call to member function transaction() on null" - line 884 of Editor.php. I also get POST 500 error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This question has an accepted answers - jump to answer
It sounds like the
$dbvariable that is being passed in is
null. If you add
var_dump( $db );immediately before that line, what does it show? How are you initialising that variable?
Yep, that is the issue. I was under the impression that the variable was automatically defined as stated in the documentation:
The $db variable was automatically defined as an instance of the Database() class which was used along with the $sql_details variable to establish a connection with the database automatically. The $db variable is defined in the Bootstrap.php library file and the variable name can be changed there if you require.
I'm not sure why the $db variable is not globally accessible. I have it initialized by global $db; however it is still null.
Any suggestions?
Its defined in the Bootstrap.php file of the Editor libraries. Its possible you haven't included that perhaps?
Unfortunately that is not it. Datatables.php is including Bootstrap.php. I can do the dump from bootstrap.php and it is not null. I ended up just putting the config.php code directly in my PHP API file for the CiviCRM extension. When I do this it works. Thanks for helping me at least figure out how to move forward!

Curiosity's Cousins: Autonomous Polar Robots Explore Earth's Extremes
Earth's poles are the wheeling grounds for two polar rovers: solar-powered Cool Robot and its younger cousin Yeti.
The pair, designed by a team led by engineer Laura Ray at Dartmouth College, are among the first autonomous polar robots to go to work. Now, knee-high Yeti is on an expedition to Antarctica, peering beneath the ice and snow on Mt. Erebus, in search of steam-carved caves hiding in the volcano's ice cap.
"The idea was that we should have terrestrial robots — rovers that can do science missions much like planetary rovers," said team member James Lever, an engineer at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. "They can be less expensive. It's not quite as harsh as a planetary mission. But it's still pretty demanding."

Cake, Ben Folds, Tall Heights
Maier Festival Park, Milwaukee 200 N. Harbor Drive, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
press release: CAKE and Ben Folds have announced the details of a very special summer co-headline tour, set to come to the BMO Harris Pavilion.
"CAKE -- my rough contemporaries, comrades and heroes -- to me, they make universal, poetic, identifiable music with a groove. I've learned a lot from these guys and I'm proud as punch to be on tour with them this summer," says Folds. "I'm telling my friends to get there early enough for Tall Heights – a great addition to this bill."
"We are very much looking forward to touring with Ben Folds," says CAKE's John McCrea. "In a culture often conflicted about its relationship to melody, and songwriting generally, Ben continues unapologetically to provide melodic clarity and musicality. I am also looking forward to hearing Tall Heights. This co-headline line up seems like a good combination of musical styles—disparate but not antithetical to each other—and it should be a solid evening of music."
CAKE's adherence to their original guiding principles has only grown stronger. Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge, CAKE's democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no obvious peers, belonging to no school. In addition to writing, arranging and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer & produce their recording projects in their own solar-powered studio in Sacramento, CA — which actually generates more power than is needed to run it (causing the building's electrical meter to run in reverse). CAKE's most recent album, SHOWROOM OF COMPASSION, debuted at #1 on Billboard's "Top 200" Chart and was touted for its "deadpan brilliance" by The New Yorker. The band is currently in the recording studio working on their ninth album — due for release later this year. Additionally, CAKE's go green advocacy will continue this summer. The band gives away a native tree at every performance (and have done so for the past 12 years). When you attend a CAKE concert, there is always a tree on stage throughout their performance, and at some point during the evening one lucky audience member (who is willing the make the commitment to be a lifelong steward for the tree) gets to take it home. The CAKE Forest can be seen here: http://www.cakemusic.
Ben Folds is widely regarded as one of the major music influencers of our generation. He has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and collaborative records with artists spanning Sara Bareilles, Regina Spektor, and William Shatner. Folds' most recent work, 2015's SO THERE, blended original songs with his critically acclaimed "Concerto For Piano and Orchestra" and soared to #1 on Billboard's "Classical" and "Classical Crossover" charts.
For over a decade, Folds has performed with some of the world's greatest symphony orchestras. In 2017, he was named as the first-ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. Folds continues to perform with symphonies and also recently returned to solo touring, delivering a high-energy rock show with the intimacy of a solo piano performance.

Netherrealm Studios have been on a role as of late, as both Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat X managed to secure themselves as some of the best fighting games in modern memory. With fans eagerly anticipating the release of the next instalment in the MK verse, thoughts once again turn to the roster and which combatants will make the cut. While we can expect to see old and new faces aplenty, we have to wonder if any of these poorly received characters will manage to get a much needed makeover.
#3: Frost
She had a somewhat brief cameo in Mortal Kombat X, wherein she tried to pick a fight with Scorpion before she got turned into an ice-sculpture by Sub-Zero, but otherwise has become somewhat of a relic. While many have often labelled her as a cheap female Sub-Zero rip-off (which is kind of true) it would be still be neat to see her character redefined in such a way as to make her a unique fighter. If they could do it for Cassie Cage, they can do it for Frost.
#2: Chameleon
Look back far enough in fighting game history and you'll always find that one character who is nothing more than an amalgamation of all other characters. In Mortal Kombat's case, you have Chameleon. Think of him as Shang Tsung without the transformations and only the abilities of the other ninja. It may be a basic concept, but with an actual backstory, maybe Netherrealm could pull it off.
#1: Motaro
The last time we saw this iconic sub-boss was when he only had two legs, stripping him of his one defining feature; a demon centaur capable of messing up any player who dared test their might. While we can imagine integrating a horse hybrid character into the mix would prove quite a challenge for the developers, there has been no better time for this classic MK character to make a comeback. Can't let Goro steal the spotlight after all.
Be sure to check out the video below to see our picks for the Top 10 Mortal Kombat Games.

As far as big mountain goes, Mount Monadnock in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire is relatively close to Boston. Despite its proximity, we've never set foot on it. So we set out on a beautiful Saturday morning to redress this omission.
Monadnock's claim to fame is its status as most hiked mountain in the US. Not so surprisingly, as soon as we arrived, the park ranger informed us that the parking lot was filled so that we'd have to park in the camping area. Later on, we'd encounter people of all ages, shapes and sizes on the trail.
One of Kate's friend, who had hiked here before, wryly observed that the people who designed this trail had no idea what a switchback was. True enough, the White Dot trail which begins at the nearby Visitor's Center is a straight shot to the summit. But luckily there are also other trails which offer more gradual albeit circuitous ascent.
The plan was to take the White Dot trail up and White Cross trail down. Ascending involves clambering on all fours several times. Near the start of the trail, a guy passed us going up, walking at an extremely fast pace. About half-way up, he passed us on the way down. Granted, we did stop frequently to enjoy the scenery, but we were no newbie hikers either. Two-thirds of the way up, he passed us again going up, albeit more slowly this time. I chatted briefly with him. Turns out he routinely climbs this "short" mountain twice per visit, having practiced enough that it takes only 30 minutes per leg. But even more impressive is his friend, who can do the same thing at the age of 54 and who has a resting heart rate of something like 40. Anything lower than that and one wouldn't be breathing. Needless to say, having heard all this, we re-doubled our efforts! As we neared the peak, as expected we ran into our friend again practically running downhill.
The view at the top was spectacular. We were lucky to get a beautiful and relatively clear day. We could see the majestic ridges of the White Mountains to the north and the very faint, barely perceptible in the haze, outline of the twin towers of the Boston skyline in the southeast horizon.
The trail systems here were partly created by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1931-1933 during the Great Depression. We've seen their work in many of the places we've visited. One can only hope that after this Great Recession we'll have left something as worthwhile to posterity.

Belle woman faces charges in DWI crash in Belle
A Belle woman faces charges of Driving While Intoxicated, four counts of Assault, and two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child after a two-vehicle crash Sunday in Belle in which four people were injured, one critically.
According to Maries County Sheriff Chris Heitman, Jessica Rohrer, 34, was travelling south on Belle Avenue in front of the Casey's General Store when she failed to yield to a car driven by Atira Thompson, 28, of Smithton, which was heading east on Highway 28 when it was struck.
The force of the crash caused Thompson's car to overturn, injuring her and three passengers. Brianna Bock, 21, of Bland, was critically injured and was flown to University Hospital in Columbia for treatment. She remains in critical condition, according to Heitman. Two other passengers, Abigail Bock, 24, of Bland, and Samantha Sooter, 18, of St. James, suffered moderate injuries and were taken to Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla by ambulance. Thompson was also transported to Rolla with unspecified injuries.
There were two children in Rohrer's vehicle, and Heitman says he is asking for two charges of Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Iran has increased its capacity to refine uranium by installing hundreds of more centrifuges at its Natanz plant, a UN nuclear agency report said on Wednesday, underlining Tehran's defiance of Western demands to curb the activity.
But, in a development that could help buy time for diplomacy between Iran and world powers, the IAEA report also showed limited growth of Iran's most sensitive nuclear stockpile and it remained below an Israeli "red line" for possible action.
The report by the IAEA indicated that Iran was pressing ahead with the construction of a research reactor that Western experts say could offer it a second way of producing material for a nuclear bomb, if it decided to embark on such a course.

Hey guys!
Today I have a real treat for you, the cutest birthday boy ever, Gregory!
Auntie Keshia contacted me to book a smash & splash session for Gregory's first birthday. I was thrilled to create a beautiful décor for him and I was super happy that when he came into my studio, that he was such a sweetheart with a gorgeous smile on his face. He was a role-model for smash the cake sessions J. Mommy Céline brought a turtle toy, because Gregory is completely in love with his turtles! It was such a great look!
Usually after a smash the cake session, I have a bath session with the kid in my studio, but this time Auntie Keshia had a small request, she asked whether it would be possible to include Gregory's real life turtles! I am always up for a challenge so I didn't have a problem with it. We combined the smash the cake session with a bath session outside in the garden – and during that moment, we had the turtles there. It made such a great experience!
Okay, moving on to what you've been waiting for. For your viewing pleasure, pictures of Gregory!
Gregory's aunt Keshia gave him this cakesmash shoot for his birthday. So we were all super excited to go and experience the shoot. I asked Joke if it was also possible to take picture of Gregory together with his aunt. We also asked if it was possible to bring our (real-life) turtles because that was Gregory's birthday theme. This was absolutely no problem for Joke! Gregory enjoyed the shoot so much, we kept going and going. After the shoot I felt like a kid waiting for his endexam results because the shoot made me soooo curious. And I must say that I would absolutely give the pictures a 10+!

Contributions of Early Western Civilization

25 May 2012
Contributions of Early Western Civilization
The study of Early Western Civilization reveals that there where many people, events and stories that shaped the world we live in today. We were told stories at a young age and continue to learn the history of our world through higher education. The following essay will discuss a select few events that in some small or large way, contributed to modern cultures all over the world. Beginning with Ancient Egypt and ending with the Renaissance Age. Social practices, women's rights, medical practices and art are only a few areas that contributed to the way daily modern life unfolds for people all over the world.
Ancient Egypt must have been spectacular for the senses. That is, if one was lucky enough to be born into an upper class family. As a member of the upper class, one would have access to and enjoy quite a superb array of foods. The diet of the rich would include a variety of meats such as beef, goat, pork, goose, fish and pigeon (Spielvogel 29). The latter doesn't really sound very appetizing, but maybe they knew how to cook pigeon just right. The upper class of Egyptians also enjoyed hunting waterfowl by the Nile.
The poor Egyptian was not so fortunate. Their diet mainly consisted of bread, beer made from barley, and onions (Spielvogel 29). Both classes enjoyed fruits and vegetables, but the figs, dates and grapes were mainly consumed by the rich. One would guess that the bread was the most important part of the diet for poor Egyptians. They made bread daily from the grains that they harvested. Keep in mind that most of the poor Egyptians considered were indeed slaves. When we think of Ancient Greece, Alexander the Great is a great example of the powerful rulers through Greece's history. He became king of Macedonia when his father, King Philip II died in 336 B.C.E. He was only twenty when he became king, but Alexander's father groomed him well for his...

No replies to this topic

Hey guys, I'm relatively new to WoW. I played back in BC and got duelist on both classes but I recently got back into it and wanted your opinions.
In WoD which class do you think is stronger, Spriest or Aff Lock? Which class does more damage and is it close? Are both viable? Pros and cons of each compared to each other? And anything else you can think of that I might have left out.
Thank you so much and I appreciate any help I can get!

FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said drug companies are gaming the drug approval system and he wants to stop it.
At a July 18 public Food and Drug Administration meeting on competition under the Hatch-Waxman Act, Gottlieb announced new initiatives designed to deter drugmakers from blocking access to cheaper generic drugs as well as initiatives to streamline the FDA's generic drug review process. The Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 established the expedited approval pathway for generic drugs.
Gottlieb, who started as commissioner earlier this year, has been criticized for being too cozy with the pharmaceutical industry, but he has been outspoken on lowering obstacles to competition to ensure access to less expensive generic drugs. Gottlieb's remarks also reflect President Donald Trump's stated goal of attacking high drug prices and getting drugs approved more quickly.
"FDA doesn't have a direct role in how drugs are priced," Gottlieb said, "But at FDA, we do play a key, if indirect, role in the eventual cost of medicines."
Gottlieb also said the agency is considering ways to deter branded drug companies from using risk evaluation and mitigation strategies (REMS) to delay generic drug launches by refusing to provide generic companies with drug samples needed for bioequivalence testing. REMS are plans used to ensure the safety of some pharmaceuticals.
Currently, generics can request letters from the agency confirming that their use of a sample of a branded drug for purposes of demonstrating bioequivalence wouldn't violate the branded drug's REMS requirements.
The FDA is considering publicly releasing the letters it sends to generic drug companies. "Do we make these letters public to show generics are having trouble getting access to samples?" Gottlieb asked.
"These letters could contain important information that can help inform broader discussions about access and competition," he said. "Their public release could be one step to help ensure that unnecessary hurdles to generic drug development are removed."
Releasing the letters might shame the drug companies refusing to provide samples into providing them, law professor Michael A. Carrier told Bloomberg BNA July 19. Carrier is a professor at Rutgers Law School and co-director of the Rutgers Institute for Information Policy and Law in Camden, N.J.
Although making the letters public may not be enough by itself to curb the abuses, it "can't hurt," said Carrier, who testified at the agency's hearing.
Gottlieb also announced the agency was taking steps to remove unpredictability and inefficiency from the drug review process. Increasing regulatory efficiency can help to lower drug prices, Gottlieb said.
The FDA will be streamlining the generic drug review process to eliminate duplicative processes and help generic drug applicants avoid common application deficiencies, he said.
By the end of the year, he said the agency will issue two key documents explaining its efforts to improve review processes and enhance communication between applicant companies and FDA staff reviewing the applications.
Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, described two more steps the agency is taking to speed generics to market and to lower drug costs.
The FDA posted a list of off-patent drugs facing little or no generic competition, and the agency will expedite reviews for applicants seeking to make generic versions of those products, she said. The FDA will also expedite the review of generic drug applications until there are three approved generics for a given drug product, she said.
Gottlieb's efforts are generally drawing plaudits.
The Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM), the generic drug industry's trade association, praised Gottlieb's efforts to address regulatory issues impeding competition.
Chip Davis, AAM's chief executive officer, commended Gottlieb in the group's July 18 testimony for his "commitment to maintaining a balance between encouraging innovation in drug development and accelerating the availability of lower cost generic alternatives to America's patients."
The "Hatch-Waxman balance has veered away from generic competition because of anticompetitive abuses by brand pharma companies," Carrier said. "It is heartening that FDA is considering using the tools in its power to right the balance."
"To the FDA's credit, this is a great first step," David Balto, an antitrust lawyer in private practice in Washington, told Bloomberg BNA in a July 19 phone interview. Gottlieb is "appropriately getting the agency to engage in self-scrutiny about how the regulatory process can be abused."
"There's been a tsunami of concern expressed about the REMS program," Balto, a former policy director at the Federal Trade Commission, said. "For Republican antitrust enforcers, there's nothing more egregious than the abuse of regulatory processes."
When regulatory processes are abused, "no market force can displace you, and that's why Republicans are very good at policing the regulatory process to make sure it's not abused by firms seeking monopoly power," he said. Balto also testified at the meeting.
PhRMA, the brand-name drug industry's lobbying arm, told Bloomberg BNA July 19 it was in the process of reviewing the agency's proposals and would be providing comments to the FDA. PhRMA also testified at the meeting.
Others testifying included patient and consumer advocates, pharmaceutical companies and representatives from the insurance, health-care distribution and pharmaceutical benefit management industries.
The FDA will be accepting public comments on the meeting topic until Sept. 18. The docket number is FDA-2017-N-3615.

Savage Man Savage Beast (1975)
Anthology Film Archives in NYC is currently running a series of films
under the umbrella title Mondo Mondo. A Mondo film is basically a
documentary, or faux documentary, that is also an exploitation film.
Here is a link to what wikipedia says :
Mondo film
This genre was made popular by the 1962 movie Mondo Cane, which was a
surprise hit and yielded a Grammy nomination for the theme song More,
from the Mondo Cane soundtrack. The song was covered by Kai Winding and
hit #8 on the Billboard Hot 100. Many other films with the word Mondo
(Italian for world) in their titles, including Mondo Topless, Mondo
Nudo, Mondo Bizarro, and even Mondo New York. There were also tons of
other movies that employed this shockumentary style over the years.
Savage Man Savage Beast's focus is on hunting. Man on animal, animal on man, man on man and animal on animal. It travels all over the world to show us different scenes of brutality, and even a couple scenes of peace as well. It starts with a hunter chasing a stag in the hopes of killing him, and once the deed is done shifts over to some hippies who are protesting violence. The rest of the film is mostly the kind of stuff you see on National Geographic or some such channel, yet these films are older and a bit more random.
Obviously this is NOT a movie you want to see if you are the sensitive type. There is a fair amount of animal killing, both from humans and other animals, and some of it is pretty graphic. There is a fun segment of this film where one of the tribes fertilizes the earth by basically digging a hole and fucking it. Pretty interesting to watch, in a curious kinda way. Another segment on fox hunting is more modern, but still a bit primitive. The odd thing is that there is some parts about this segment which seem really fake, but some of these mondo films did add in fake scenes to draw in a bigger audience. The scenes of the lion attacks are also supposed to be faked, and this was later done in Faces Of Death as well.
The soundtrack of these movies usually include very lush, romantic instrumental tunes, very European sounding in nature. This one follows suit, but also adds in some more hippy and rock music to reflect the scenes that include the younger generation who are against violence against animals, while still eating meat.
While this film does have some amazing footage, it is uneven and seems a bit long. Had they cut out the faked footage and tightened this up a bit I think it would have been a much more effective movie. That being said, it was good, just did not rise to the level of some of the others I have seen in this series so far. I have at least 2 more that I have seen that I need to review, plus there are a least a couple more to see, so I will be reviewing almost the whole series, minus one or two movies. I hope I find at least one more gem in the series.
7 out of 10 stars.
Location : Anthology Film Archives, main theater, NYC
Date and time : Sunday, July 24th, 2016 at 8:45 PM
