Post subject: DevExpress DBTreeList ExtLookupCombo Column
TsiLang has caused me a massive amount of wasted time this week.
I have a form called
with a DevExpress TcxDBTreeList, called
. This TreeList has a column (called
) which had its
property set to
. There were 3 columns names in
So, TsiLang had these 3 entries in the Collections section of the Editor:
That was all fine - exactly what I would expect.
Then I decided to change the
Now the Translation Editor shows nothing in the Collections tab. That is good because the ExtLookupComboBox does not have any collections of objects that have captions.
As usual, I saved my project to a
file and then exported it to a
Before building my application I always clear all translations and then load the SIB file at runtime.
At runtime I get an error when I open the AssetTree form: "
List index out of bounds (-1)
I debugged siComp and discovered that it is still looking for
So, opened the SIL file and in the Collections section I can see 2 of the original 3 lookup column captions:
They are also in the SIB file.
I presume this is why I get the error at runtime.
Have I done anything wrong or is it a problem with siLang?
How do put this right?

May be you created SIL file before opening Translation Editor or updating translations in TsiLang? Because it looks like still contained old Collections information. It is not possible to automatically catch the event of collection property change in other components so just be sure to either call Update Translations from TsiLang popup-menu or open Translation Editor to update translations list.
Also you can save to SIB file directly without using SIL as intermediate.

Thanks for the reply. I have spent 2 days battling with this so I have been through the following procedure many many times:
- Update Translations
- Open Translations Editor for this form and checked that the Collections section is empty
- Close & Save Translation Editor
- Save Project to SIL, then Export to SIB.
The SIL and SIB both
have the two of the original three ListColumns entries.
As a workaround for this problem I have manually deleted the two ListColumn entries from the SIB. But, I would like to be able to trust the the SIB to contain the correct entries (because there are thousands of them in the entire project). At the moment I can't trust it.
Am I doing it wrong?

I think I have figured out what is going on.
My project is quite big - 55 forms, resulting in several thousand items for translation.
Before I build my project for release, I save the project to a SIL file, then select all the forms and clear all the translations. I then export the SIL to SIB and load the SIB at runtime (because I understand this to be best for performance - is that correct?).
Then I work on my project again to enhance it. When ready, I load the SIL file again. But, because the project has changed, there are now items in the SIL file which are no longer in the project (just as there will be new items in the project which are not in the SIL file).
So, if I removed an item from the project it no longer appears in the translation editor, but siLang still has an entry for it somewhere (which came from the SIL). Then, when I save the project to SIL that entry is still being written to the SIL, even though it wasn't in the translation editor.
Try these steps:
01. Create a new delphi VCL Forms application
02. Onto Form1, add a TsiLangRT.
03. Add a TcxLookupComboBox
04. Open the editor for cxLookupComboBox1.Properties.ListColumns
05. Add 3 columns and give them different captions ('Col 0', 'Col 1' and 'Col 2')
06. Open the Translations Editor and you see the 3 column captions in the Collections section.
07. Close the translations editor
08. In TsiLang Expert, save the project to a '3 Cols.SIL'.
09. Double-click on '3 Cols.SIL' and you see the 3 column captions in the Collections section.
10. Close the SIL.
11. In TsiLang Expert, clear the translations
12. Save the Delphi project
13. Open the editor for cxLookupComboBox1.Properties.ListColumns
14. Remove
Col 1
15. Right-click on siLangRT1 and select Clear Translations
16. Open the Translations Editor and see the column captions in the Collections section - now only 2 of them.
17. Close the translations editor
18. In TsiLang Expert, load '3 Cols.SIL'
19. In TsiLang Expert, Save the project to '2 Cols.SIL'
20. Double-click on '2 Cols.SIL' and you will see 2 column captions in the Collections section.
They have the captions '
Col 0
' and '
Col 1
' ('
Col 2
' is not there). But why? We deleted the column with caption '
Col 1
' and we did
delete the column with caption '
Col 2
I think this is related to the issue I described in the original post.
Please let me know if I did something wrong in the steps above.

19. In TsiLang Expert, Save the project to '2 Cols.SIL'
As you loaded SIL with 3 items in collections but there were only 2 items in actual project the third item was deleted. TsiLang UNABLE to uniquely identify collection items so they are just numbered sequentially.
Before deletion there were:
Item[0] = Col 0
Item[1] = Col 1
Item[2] = Col 2
After deletion:
Item[0] = Col 0
Item[1] = Col 2
But in SIL file you have:
Item[0] = Col 0
Item[1] = Col 1
Item[2] = Col 2
So when you loaded info from SIL the items became:
Item[0] = Col 0
Item[1] = Col 1

OK, I now understand what was happening in my test project - thank you.
Was this also responsible for the runtime error (List index out of bounds) that I reported in my original post?

List index error in initial post might be caused by the fact that list columns captions exist in loaded SIL/SIB file but were deleted in actual component.

We have had crueler months than April 2013, but this one singed the soul.
Weather-wise, weird prevailed. Last week temperatures in our area hovered around 42 degrees even as spring reached the one-month mark. The chill reflected the national mood as we continued to process the horrors of 4/15, when two young men set off bombs at the Boston Marathon. The attacks on Patriots' Day shattered the lives and limbs of dozens of people and etched yet another dark day on our national calendar.
Turning the page to a new month is an artificial demarcation, at best, but it does feel really good to welcome May. Gods and nature and people willing, May promises to bring some warmth and sunshine back into our lives.
It's hard to find folks who don't appreciate May — and not just for the weather. It is a month of honoraria and celebrations, memorials and tributes. For starters, May is National Barbecue Month, which I personally plan to mark by asking my husband to clean the grill. Then we will launch the season with a seafood kebob fest. No marching bands, no parades, no speeches. Just food.
It's also Older Americans Month, one of those clubs in which membership is compulsory and the dues are onerous. May is National Recommitment Month, which reminds me to recommit to my Mediterranean diet, which, coincidentally, is also celebrated this month and certainly conflicts with May 15, National Chocolate Chip Day.
May is Date Your Mate Month. Now this is notable, at least by me, as something we can learn from our grown children. My kids accommodate their ridiculously busy weeks by having Date Night once a week, on which they set aside time for themselves. They go to the movies, enjoy a quiet dinner, talk over family issues or even fight, if they haven't had time to exercise the what-were-you-thinking muscle.
May is also National Strawberry Month. When they're good, they're very, very good, and, well, you know the rest. Great strawberries are a culinary wonder, straight up, on ice cream or cereal or in salads. By the way, May is also National Salad Month. (Think daikon and arugula, not your grandmother's salad.)

Trek will officially introduce its new Fuel EX 29 and Remedy 29 bikes to the press later this week, but BikeRadar found a few of the bikes already in stock at a Trek Bicycle Store in Boulder, Colorado. Here's a quick look at one of the five 120mm Fuel EX 29 models and one of the three 140mm Remedy 29 bikes.
Both models are basically 29-inch models of the existing Fuel EX and Remedy 26in platforms, with geometry tweaked slightly for the bigger wheels.
The Remedy can adjust between two geometries via the Evo link
While Trek has had the 29in Superfly (100m) and the 29in Rumblefish (120mm), the Remedy 29 represents the Wisconsin brand's first committed effort to long-travel 29in trail bikes.
Both bikes feature technology acronyms familiar to those with newer Trek machines: ABP, OCLV, G2. ABP - Active Braking Pivot - is a suspension design that Trek claims prevent braking forces from influencing suspension. OCLV is Trek's carbon process that is used on two Fuel EX 29 models (the 9.7 and 9.8). And G2 is Trek's 29er geometry that features a specific fork offset in addition to frame angles that Trek claims improves low-speed handling on the big-wheel bikes.
Trek's new Fuel EX 29 comes in five models - three alloy and two carbon
Retail pricing ranges from US$2,500-$4,999 for the five Fuel EX 29 models and US$2,699-$4,499 for the three Remedy 29 bikes, which only come in alloy frames. UK pricing is not yet available.
James Huang will be test riding the bikes soon, so look for first ride reviews on BikeRadar in the coming days. In the meantime, however, surf through the big photo gallery at above right for close-up looks at the new Trek Fuel EX 29 and the Remedy 29.
The new Trek Remedy 29 comes in three alloy models

This is not simply a matter of semantics. It goes to the heart of the Buddhas actual teaching on Punarbhava that sets it apart from the ideas of Hindu reincarnation.

Congratulations on having your child enrolled at Marquette University! Undoubtedly, you are hopeful that your son or daughter's time at Marquette will be rewarding both academically and personally. It is a common occurrence for students to seek support at the Counseling Center. Each year, we see approximately 10% of the students enrolled at Marquette. Many parents have questions as to how they can support their student if he or she is experiencing emotional concerns. Other parts of this website will inform you about our staff, appointment procedures, and eligibility criteria. In addition to that information, we have put together a list of frequently asked questions to help parents navigate working with the Counseling Center.
Explain your concerns directly and gently. It helps if you can cite specific examples about why you are concerned. Indicate that you would like them to go to the Counseling Center for an appointment and be ready with the address and phone number. You can ask them to try it out, and that there is very little risk in attending appointments.
It is, of course, the student's right not to go to the Counseling Center, in which case, you can respect their wishes but continue to express concern. If your son/daughter lives in a residence hall, you can speak to the Resident Assistant (RA)or the Residence Hall Director (RHD). RAs and RHDs are not bound by the same strict confidentiality rules that mental and physical health providers must follow. Even if talking to an RA/RHD is not possible or does not produce the desired result, please continue to check-in with your student's emotional well-being on a regular basis. There is not much point in getting into a heated discussion about getting the student to go to the Counseling Center, as there is little one can do to make students go to appointments, unless he/she is a danger to themselves or to someone else.
Once a student is 18 years or older, the student has complete control of his/her medical records. Consequently, he/she need to give written permission to allow other people access to the information. If the student will not sign a release , it is illegal for the provider to discuss the case in any way. If you would like access to your student's information, the best approach is for you to discuss your reasoning with your student.
Legally, a release of information needs to be signed to allow us to confirm appointment attendance, even if we do not discuss appointment details.
You are free to leave information with the on-call counselor or other provider whenever you would like to do so. However, the provider cannot share any information with you, including whether appointments have been scheduled or attended, without a release of information.
Yes. The Counseling Center has someone on-call during normal business hours (8am - 4:30pm M-F) to consult on the phone and to be available for students in crisis. Call the front desk at 414-288-7172 and request to speak with the on-call provider. If the provider is with a student at the time you call, every effort will be made to return your call as soon as possible.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS: If you have a question that has not been answered here, please feel free to call the Counseling Center at 414-288-7172. We will assist you to the best of our abilities.

Red-state Dems complicate 2nd term
For Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and his top lieutenants, the challenges of balancing the 2014 Senate map and President Barack Obama's second-term agenda could cause as many headaches as anything Republicans throw at them.
Overall, 20 Democratic-held Senate seats are up for grabs next year, versus 13 for Republicans. Democratic incumbents face reelection in solidly red states like Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, Montana and South Dakota, all of which Obama lost by double-digit margins in November.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 39 great photos from Obama's first term)
A little more than a year after Obama is sworn in to another term, there will be high-profile Senate races in swing states like Colorado, North Carolina and New Hampshire. One red-state Democrat — Sen. Jay Rockefeller (W.Va.) — has already announced his retirement, putting in play a seat that has been in Democratic hands for nearly three decades.
While Obama is now riding high in public-opinion polls — and the GOP is struggling with historically low approval ratings — senior Democratic senators and aides say the president must face a stark political reality even as he begins his second term as commander in chief. Newly reelected and emboldened red-state Democrats, as well as senators up for reelection in 2014, want and need to show independence from the White House. For these Democrats, a visit or endorsement by Obama is not going to help them win, although they will be happy to have his money or checks from his donor network.
( PHOTOS: 7 best campaign dustups)
From guns to immigration to budget fights — especially possible cuts to the popular Medicare and Medicaid programs — these upcoming battles will expose the fault lines within the Democratic Party. Obama will have to juggle the political needs of red-state Democrats even as he tries to outmaneuver a House GOP leadership pulled to the right by its hardliners.
Reid singles out those who are up for reelection and does whatever he can to promote their agenda and protect them from politically charged votes, aides said Friday.
"What you have in the Democratic Caucus — probably more so now than the Republican [Conference] — you have a sizable amount of moderates," Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska), up for reelection in 2014, told POLITICO. "We are kind of practical, let's get things done, we're willing to try some new stuff. But we're not going to do the same ol', same ol'. I think that's a struggle with the administration at times."
"We may have some other agenda ourselves," added Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.), who also faces voters in two years. "We may as a Senate decide that we want to do something about jobs. The Senate may decide it wants to do something about small business and a tax package. We may want to do something on tax reform itself. Our agenda depends on our 55 senators — [and] what we decide we want to put on the floor."
( PHOTOS: 10 great quotes about voting)
A senior Democratic aide said the White House must recognize the "blunt political reality" that 20 Democratic senators will face reelection in a cycle in which control of the Senate is at stake.
"And if they want to actually get stuff done, they're going to have to make an effort to work with us, and personally reach out to the Mark Pryors, and the Mary Landrieus and listen to those folks and make them feel heard," the aide said. "It can't feel like an oppositional relationship, it has to feel like we're partners with generally the same but sometimes slightly different options on how to get there."

Vyacheslav Yaroshenko, editor of Korruptsiya i Prestupnost (Corruption and Crime), was found at the foot of a staircase in his building's entryway, according to multiple news reports and CPJ sources. He was hospitalized with skull and brain trauma; doctors performed two surgeries and the editor spent five days in a coma, his deputy, Sergei Sleptsov, told CPJ. Yaroshenko was taken off a respirator today, but he remains unconscious, Sleptsov said.
Sleptsov told CPJ he believes Yaroshenko was attacked in
retaliation for his newspaper's work. Korruptsiya

On Monday, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that a spokesman for the Rostov Region Department of Internal Affairs said police were not looking into the possibility that Yaroshenko was attacked. "The trauma sustained by the journalist exhibits an exclusively domestic character," an unnamed spokesman at the department's press office told RIA Novosti.
"We are disturbed by the high number of critical journalists
attacked and injured in Russia in what law enforcement calls 'accidents,' "
said CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator
In 2007, when Sleptsov published a critical story on the local authorities releasing an alleged criminal who had been charged with kidnapping and robbery, he was attacked and hospitalized, he said. Police only contacted him four days after the incident to take his testimony; Sleptsov's attackers are still at large.
Sleptsov said Korruptsiya

President Barack Obama and the first family on Sunday visited Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church in Washington DC known as the "National Cathedral of African Methodism" to worship.
About 1500 congregants and senior pastor Rev Ronald E. Braxton jubilantly welcomed the president on the eve of his inauguration, which is also the birthday of Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The church also sang happy birthday for First Lady Michelle Obama who turned 49 on Jan.17.
President Obama's visit to Metropolitan AME is significant because it also marked the eve of the church's historic 175th anniversary and underscores Obama's faith posture, which came under fire during his first term in office when some on the religious right were questioning his faith.
"It was beautiful and it was spiritual," said Tijuana Morris who attended the service. "I took pride in the service that our president was in the church."
The church beautifully decorated to honor the president's visit according to Dr. Garland-Hill, a minister at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in Detroit sends a strong message that "Obama is not only the president of all of us but he remembers his roots and his ancestors and the role they played for us to be where we are today."
The AME church which grew out of the anti-segregationist movement in 1787 has since been a major spiritual denomination for African Americans when it was first founded by Richard Allen.
The Metropolitan AME has had a revered history and distinguished record of notable African Americans and transformational leaders who either spoke at the church or attended regular Sunday service there.
For example preeminent African American civil rights pioneer Frederick Douglass who interfaced with President Lincoln attended service there and the church was the site of his funeral in 1895 as well as legendary labor leader and civil rights activist A. Philip Randolph who was funeralized at the church.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Rev Jesse Jackson Sr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Hubert H. Humphrey, Charles H. Wesley, Paul Laurence Dunbar are among a list of previous speakers who have graced the pulpit of Metropolitan AME.
" Obama is a messenger just like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who always had a message about peace," Hill said. "For him to visit an African American church on this Sunday sends a message that as a black man he is not ashamed to go to his roots."
Obama has selected Myrlie Evers Williams, the widow of Medgar Evers, the slain civil rights activist to deliver the invocation at the inauguration, another twist to the celebration that reflects on the civil rights pilgrimage that included the blood of many innocent lives shed.
"I am eternally grateful to Obama to have Myrlie Evers to deliver the invocation," Hill said. "To me that means that from the grave the work of Emma Till leaves on. Obama now leaves a legacy for our children that you have an obligation to never forget where you came from."
Rev Hill said to look at the White House built with the hands of slaves and to see a Black man now occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as president is completing a cycle of history.
"That is why the Black church today needs to go back to our roots to give our children not only religious training but social and economic training because it was the center place of our existence as a people," Hill said."The Black church should reach out and help because so many people are hurting out there. We need to have more clinics in our churches."
Virgie Rollins, chair of the Democratic Black Caucus said Obama's visit to Metropolitan AME today shows "He is still trying to decide where he wants to worship. I'm assuming he enjoys it. This demosntrates again he is starting to feel comfortable with his relationship with his God. He talks about his faith."
Rollins said probably the president "Is accepting to be a part of this church because picking a church will be important to him and his family."
With their visit to Metropolitan AME, the Obamas seemed to be building a strong affinity with the African Methodist Episcopal Church because President Obama addressed the AME General Conference in 2008, and as recent as June of 2012, Michelle Obama, was the keynote speaker at the church's quadrennial General Conference where she delivered a fiery speech.
"You see, living out our eternal salvation is not a once-a-week kind of deal," She said."And in a more literal sense, neither is citizenship."
She urged the 10,000 attendees of the conference to move beyond the four walls of their churches and make a difference.
"And to anyone who says that church is no place to talk about these issues, you tell them there is no place better – no place better. Because ultimately, these are not just political issues — they are moral issues," She said at the height of the heated 2012 presidential campaign. "Find that nephew who has never voted – get him registered."

Is your intention to be able to communicate to two external devices, one at RS-232 and one at RS-485 at the same time? While it's not hard to have the arduino send characters out to two devices at different voltage levels at the same time from one serial port, there would be problem in how two different devices can respond back to a single AVR Rx pin as there would be nothing to prevent the two senders from stepping on each other. Some kind of electrical ORing connection would be needed as well as a software serial protocol to prevent two external devices sending at the same time. So maybe a little clearer description of what you are trying to accomplish would be in order?Lefty

I just love bad movies and I do live in Maine so this was particularly enjoyable. I've decided if I ever come across one of Katahdins babies I'll keep it for a pet and name it 'Chicken Giblets' cause all it's insides were out and it made me think of .....chicken giblets !

Well I think i watched this when I was like 7 or 8 and it scared me to death. WAtched it a 2nd time now and laughed. I don't know what scared me so much, I mean what a cheesey movie this is- ? I guess the idea of being chased by a big juicy stuffed bear throughout the woods unarmed just scares me- ? But overall, no, no just avoid this movie.
BTW the sleeping bag scene IS funny. (I think the Kataden backhanded the kid)

I keep getting this one confused with THE PROPHECY, the movie starring Christopher Walken as an evil Archangel. That movie should definitely be here as well, or at least one of its lame sequels.

I just bought PROPHECY and I Loved it. They used the same fetus/evolution thing in the original Island of Dr. Marowe so that must have bin a 70's thing. The scene with the exploding sleeping bag was almost as funny as the giant plastic BLUE salmon jumping out of the lake. The Mutant bears were scary in that they were so vicious and so hard to look at without gaging. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves horror/sci-fi movies like Friday the 13th and so forth . It did have ultra bad acting and I did find it to be slow but the part with the mutant bear attack surly revives the plot.
Why did they keep the mutant cubs?
Why was there constant national geographic nostalgia instead of death scenes?
How dose a little arrow kill an 18 foot bipedal bear mutant when a bullet fails?
If they know there are mutant monsters why dont they have guns?
It is obvious the writers wrote themselves into many corners. Regardless it is still a good movie in a cheesy way. Still love it myself. All I know is Im never going camping without a shotgun or something.

I haven't seen the film but I did read David Seltzer's novelization of it, and I answer both of those questions, at least within the confines of the story as told in the book:
1. They kept the cubs for evidence of the mercury poisoning. Their reasoning seemed to be that mutated bears would provoke a much stronger reaction than mutated fish or frogs. (And, in that same vein, Rob keeps the one cub alive because he figures a
mutated bear cub is not something the lumber company can cover up, or, as he puts it, "just stick in a jar of formaldahyde and forget about." He also wanted to dissect the dead one.)
2. By the time they learn of the existence of the monster(s), they're already stranded due to the helicopter being unable to take off. All Rob wanted to do was investigate the site where the Nelson family got killed, after all. (Now that answers the question of why they lacked guns
to begin with
. I'm unsure about the film, but in the novel, they do gets guns eventually because Sheriff Pilgrim and some deputies show up at M'Rai's campsite just before "Katahdin" attacks; when they're killed, Rob and the others get their guns, but the guns wind up not being very useful.)
I just noticed how old that post was....
In any event, as long as we're talking about the novelization, I've noticed a lot of different reviews of the movie can't seem to make up their minds just how "Katahdin" is spelled. But considering the novelization was written by the same guy who wrote the script for the film, methinks that its spelling (Katahdin) should be considered the "official" one.

Welp, my copy of this on DVD finally came in the mail the day before yesterday and I got around to watching it. Talk about wasted potential! The movie starts out relatively strong but as soon as it gets to Rob's bulls**t explanation about how the human fetus goes through "different evolutionary stages" it all falls apart and just goes downhill from there. What p**sed me off the most was the ending, or should I say the non-ending. After all the character development and the buildup with Maggie's pregnancy, the movie just stops as soon as Rob kills the monster and they're flying home all hunky-dory. WTF?
The novelization at least had an epilogue wherein Victor Shusette (Rob's EPA friend from the beginning of the movie) comes and sees Rob and Maggie at the hospital in Portland and there's some more about whether or not Maggie's baby will be all right, and the revelation of there being another mutated bear is also handled better, too.
In fact, here's a list of all the differences in the novelization that I did for Wikipedia's entry for the film:
1. There is an epilogue, set during the winter, in which an ordinary bear is stalking a deer but is ultimately itself attacked and killed by the mutant one. The deer, injured by the regular bear, later reappears in the story too and is seen by Rob and Maggie.
2. The scene involving the three men out searching for the lumberjacks actually occurs as the third chapter after the prologue, rather than the opener. The party members also die differently than they do in the movie: rather than rappelling down to retrieve the fallen bloodhound, they are all yanked off the cliff at once by the unseen monster at the opposite end of the leash.
3. Instead of being introduced at the orchestra and discussing being pregnant with her friend, Maggie is introduced going to see gynocologist Peter Hamlisch, a character who does not appear in the film.
4. The tenament woman is very hostile towards Rob, rather than grateful, and instead of running into Victor Shusette outside the slum as in the movie, Rob rides with the sick infant to the hospital, where it ultimately succumbs to its fever and dies. Shusette then arrives and they have their conversation about Rob needing to find a new line of work there in the hospital hallway.
5. Shusette does not suggest Rob take Maggie with him to Maine. Rather, he and Maggie make this decision by themselves at their apartment prior to Rob leaving. Maggie comes because she hopes the calm country setting will make it easier for her to tell her husband about her pregnancy.
6. The Nelson family out camping also includes Jeannine Nelson, wife of Travis and mother of Paul and Kathleen, unlike in the film where it's only the father and two children. It is also revealed that Travis is employed as a history teacher.
7. Sheriff Pilgrim dies differently. Instead of surviving Katahdin's attack long enough to make it into the underground tunnels with the others, and perishing later, he is killed during the initial attack when Katahdin steps on his head. (Also, Rob and the others collect the guns of Pilgrim and his deputy after the attack, and use them against the monster later, to no effect.)
8. Katahdin's attack on the carrier vehicle is longer and more drawn out. She pursues the truck for some length before finally tipping it over. Hawks falls behind not because he tries to assist Huntoon, the pilot, but because he becomes trapped in the cab of the truck, but manages to get away while Huntoon is being killed. (This works better in my opinion, as I disliked the way Hawks just gives up trying to untie him and runs away leaving him to die.)
9. M'Rai dies differently, and his reason for remaining behind to confront Katahdin is actually given. He is crushed instead of picked up and thrown, and the reason he remains behind is because he believes he can reason with what he believes to be his people's protector.
10. The revelation of another monster bear is revealed through the eyes of an alcoholic forest ranger, suffering the effects of mercury poisoning just as M'Rai had been (this character was introduced earlier in the novel shortly after the incident with the raccoon). The second bear is also described as having more cubs.
We also learn a lot more about the various main characters, especially John Hawks, who is half-white, and lived as a white man for several years, in fact, after the Pitneys (the founders of the lumber company) paid for him to have an education. He returned to assist his people in their struggle against the lumber company after several years abroad. Also Ramona ("Romona" in the book) is given the last name of Peters and is an old girlfriend of John Hawks', rather than his wife or even his sister (as some reviews for the film have suggested).
Now, as I mentioned in my previous post, the novelization was done by David Seltzer who also wrote the script for the film, so a few of the problems (like Rob's idiotic explanation for the Katahdin thing) remain, but a lot of the other problems in the movie are fixed. It's also worth noting that despite being a novelization written after the release of the film, the actual movie is not mentioned anywhere in the book or on it. So I have this amusing theory that Seltzer disliked what Frankenheimer did with his script and so stuck it to him by turning the script into a book (which reads like an actual original novel as opposed to just a film novelization, btw)
avoid mentioning the movie anywhere.
I'm not saying the novel is perfect. Practically every white character in the story except for Rob and Maggie is depicted as being horrifically racist, including ones who did not come across as racists in the movie (namely Sheriff Pilgrim and Huntoon the pilot). Talk about stacking the deck against the Establishment! Also, although the novel's ending is better than the movie because of the added epilogue in which we catch up with Rob and Maggie and see how they're doing after the incident, it still suffers from some pacing problems. It get the distinct feeling that Seltzer wanted to end the book as quickly as possible, so the last couple of chapters do actually read like they were copied from a screenplay, especially the attack on M'Rai's camp, with its broad and vague descriptions of carnage like "body parts flying everywhere." This last half of the book immediately prior to the epilogue in Portland really does reek of sensational Hollywood screenwriting.

Quote from: Tetsujin on November 25, 2006, 04:09:49 PM
Questions posed by this movie:
- Why were there grizzly bears in Maine?
- Why was Kataden / cubs the only horribly disfigured animals?
- Why did Kataden constantly run on two legs?
- Why didn't Kataden / cubs freeze in the winter? [No fur / Moist skin]
- Why was Kataden able to walk underwater?
- Why did the house / sleeping bag explode when Kataden smacked it?
- Why did Rob say that fetuses follow every stage of evolution during development?
- Why didn't the shotgun shell to the face kill Kataden?
- Why was there shameless shock value added to the end of the film in the form of another bear?
Obviously the filmmakers didn't do their homework for this movie. Grizzly bears do not live in Maine, and they do not run on their hind legs. Where they got the idea that a fetus developes into every stage of evolution while in the womb is beyond me. Also, the whole idea that something like mercury poisoning will mutate an animal into a grotesque super predator is a complete fabrication, too. Genetic deformities do not make an animal bigger, faster, and meaner. They make the animal sickly and weak, and are usually abandoned by the mother. I'll admit the idea of a melted, giant grizzly is scary, but it's ridiculous nonetheless.. and the sleeping bag scene doesn't help either. =P
To address the "evolution" issue... I actually studied this in high school.
When an fetus develops, at different stages of development it actually resembles the fetuses of different animals. I don't remember the exact order, but I know fish and bird are both in there, as well as a couple others. This was believed to be evidence for evolution, that all animals evolved from fish and thus would look like fish in early stages of development.

The sketch used in nearly all high school and college textbooks to back this claim is derived from the works of a late 19th century evolutionist named Haeckel (sp?). However, his claims of a fetus going through all the "evolutionary stages"
in utero
are grossly exaggerated. The famous "gill slits" on the side of the neck of a mammalian fetus are, in fact, simply wrinkles in the skin caused by the downward tilt of the head in a fetal position - decades of autopsies performed on fetuses in different stages of development have yet to show actual openings in the skin of the neck, or any link to the respiratory system from these "gills" - one case where an early, convincing fraud has been allowed to persist!

My friends and I saw
The Prophecy
in a theatre when it was first released.
When the infamous "sleeping bag scene" came on, it left the entire audience in stitches. The theatre was filled with laughter for a good two or three minutes afterwards.
Since "slapstick comedy" was obviously not the directors' intention, you have to wonder if they ever screened it for any test audience...
We called the monster "Meat Bear" and that became the nickname/insult of choice in my circle of friends for months.

To bring up an earlier post, Dr Robert Verne was played by Robert Foxworth, while Robert Reed played the kindly, likewise frazzie-headed Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch--it was the decade of bad dad hair, I guess.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite guilty pleasures--certainly not one of Armand Assante's shining moments as John Hawk, and Talia Shire is pathetic. Richard Dysart has the most fun with the script, it seems--I love his death sequence, trapped beneath the fencing and wailing as the mutant bear decends. The whole of it is served up as seriously as a heart attack, which makes it all the more enjoyable. This is one of the best of the worst of the best, iffyaknowwhaddahmean.

Isley's death scene is one of the funniest things in bad movie history, for two reasons:
1. When he's shrieking you can see all of Richard Dysart's silver fillings.
2. It's quite obvious where the bear bites 'im.

DURHAM, N.C. - Duke redshirt senior quarterback Sean Renfree has been named the recipient of the 2012 Jim Tatum Award, ACC Commissioner John Swofford announced on Thursday.
The Tatum Award is given annually in memory of the late Jim Tatum to the top senior student-athlete among the league's football players. Tatum, a two-time ACC Coach of the Year, coached in the 1950s at both Maryland and North Carolina and believed strongly in the concept of the student-athlete.
The award will be presented at the ACC's Night of Legends event which will be held Friday at the Charlotte Convention Center as part of the festivities held around the Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game.
A three-year starter and two-year team captain, Renfree has led Duke to a 6-6 record this season and bowl eligibility for the first time since 1994. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native also has received recognition for his off-field accomplishments this season by being named a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete and the recipient of the Pop Warner National College Football Award. In addition, he was named to the AFCA's Good Works Team and is a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award.
Renfree graduated from Duke in December of 2011 with a degree in public policy with a 3.4 grade point average and is now working on a graduate degree in humanities with a 3.8 GPA. He was named to the All-ACC Academic Team in 2010 and 2011.
"What Sean Renfree has accomplished in his time at Duke University - athletically, academically and in our community - is simply incredible," said Duke head coach David Cutcliffe. "He comes from an outstanding family that taught him the strongest of core values, and, as I've said before, there are not enough Sean Renfrees in our world today. As a two-year team captain, his commitment to excellence has elevated our team and our program, and we could not be more proud of him in receiving the prestigious Jim Tatum Award."
One of the most accurate passers in the history of the ACC, Renfree ranks third in the league a with a .663 completion percentage (260 of 392) this season. That mark is on pace to set a school record, potentially breaking his own standard of .650 set in 2011. He holds or shares 14 school records and is tops on Duke's career completion percentage list as well, posting a mark of .643.

GROOBS Shoes
I am an entrepreneur that gives back with the power of the consumer. I have a successful Commercial Real Estate Finance Company as well as my recently launched shoe company, GROOBS Shoes (which is why I'm typing this). I want to change the world and have the most fun doing it.....My shoe website specifically the Founders Bio tab explains everything about me. http://www.groobs.com
We are targeting the consumer that loves vintage clothing and loves to give back and help others. GROOBS is all about giving as you will see in my website. We are fun and kind of weird yet very serious about helping save the world. While no age group is immune to the above, my customer seems to be High school, College and twenty something year olds.
Again, http://www.groobs.com
We are looking for a logo specifically aside from our GROOBS logo for our apparel. The logo you will create will be featured on our V neck T's and hoodie apparel. I say logo but what I am talking about is a vintage look writing with phrases. The phrases and other requirements are below. We do not want all the phrases on the apparel. You choose which phrase to go for!! Or submit multiple!!! :)
Individual phrases to be used:
1. GROOBS are for lovers
2. Soleful
3. Sole Searching
4. Giving Is In Our Sole (Top lettering larger print)
BOGO FIVE - O (below the giving is in our sole - smaller print)
- For the V Tee with the above words or phrases, I am thinking simple vintage lettering in the center of the tee
- For the Hoodie with the above words or phrases, I am thinking they need to be in the top left chest area in smaller print but I am open to using both sides of the zipper on the hoodie.
Feel free to design just the V neck T or Hoodie or BOTH.
Please let me know if I am totally confusing you!! Also, please ask questions as I do respond typically very quickly as I believe with anything, communication is essential to getting a great result.
The files we will require are:
For sure layered as well as the other usual files.
As many files as possible as we are going to be screen printing the design on the apparel.
GOOD LUCK and ask questions

10 of the Most Death-Defying Bungee Jumps in the World [VIDEOS]
If you're the type of person who loves high places, falling from high places, and then having your body whipped up and down by the recoil of a powerful bungee cord, look no further.
The planet is full of astounding, wild locations where thrill-seekers can take the art of bungee jumping to the extreme. Here you'll find a list of some of the most beautiful, dangerous looking and highest bungee jumping spots on earth. Towering bridges, massive dams and even an active volcano are just some of the jumps available. If you're serous about bungee jumping, grab your passport and then cash in your frequent flier miles so you can try them all.
Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado
So, you want to stand on a perfectly good bridge, and then jump off it? Well, there's no better place than the Royal Gorge Bridge in Colorado, which happens to be the world's highest bungee jump off of a fixed platform. How far are you going to fall, you might be wondering? You'll be diving from a starting point of 1,053 feet. From that height, the Arkansas River below will seem like a mere trickle of water.
Verzasca Dam, Switzerland
If James Bond jumped of this gigantic, 722-foot Swiss dam in the movie 'Goldeneye,' why can't you? The good news is that you absolutely can. The company operating this high adrenaline jump offers a variety of options, from the basic beginner's jump, to the "backward" jump, as well as a nighttime jump. If you're new to the world of bungees, you can build up some jumping experience here.
Villarrica Volcano Bungee Jump, Pucon, Chile
If you've got a lot of money to spare, and you don't worry about extreme danger too much, than a helicopter-based bungee jump over an active volcano might be perfect for you. When you leap off the helicopter, harness and bungee cord firmly secured, of course, you'll already be at an altitude of around 10,000 feet. Oh, and you'll be diving into the volcano's crater, above pools of molten lava. Still sound like fun?
Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa
When you're in South Africa, and you just have to dive off of a massively tall bridge, you should check out the Bloukrans Bridge, near the Tsitsikamma Forests, to cure your thrill-seeking itch. If you decide to launch your body from this bridge, the actual bungee jump 525 feet. Even if you aren't planning on taking the leap, you can still enjoy some breathtaking views of the Bloukrans River, and the ocean nearby, from atop the narrow bridge.
Nevis Highwire Bungee, New Zealand
Down in Queenstown, New Zealand, you can jump from a pod, which is connected to a highwire 440 feet above the craggy Nevis River. The surrounding landscape is austere and pristine, while the bungee jump itself is simply mind-blowing. And if the highwire jump weren't enough, you can also have a go on the massive Nevis Swing, which is billed as the "biggest swing in the world."
Macau Tower, China
Would you like to dive off of an enormous, man-made tower, with nothing but concrete below? Well, now your dreams can come true. The Macau Tower, in Macau, China, offers a 764-foot drop with splendid views of Macau and parts of southern China all around. For those of you who are a little fainter of heart, instead of a bungee jump, you can opt for a skywalk around the outer rim of the tower. It's a great way to see if you're truly afraid of heights. Of course, if you actually are, it's also a great way to bring about a nervous breakdown.
Victoria Falls Bungee, Zimbabwe
It's hard to image a more beautiful setting than the regal Victoria Falls, situated on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. Rainbows caused my mountains of mist frothing up from the turbulent flow of the falls, and the roar of the river in your ears will immerse your senses if you choose to take part in one of the most amazing bungee jumps on earth. Oh, and did we mention the crocodiles inhabiting the waters below the bridge, from where you'll be jumping?
Bhote Kosi River, Nepal
Ever fancy a jump off a high bridge in an exotic country? The Bhote Kosi River bungee jump, in Nepal, offers up just such an adventure. You'll be diving head first down into a lush gorge, or perhaps even jumping backwards, and then you'll be yanked back up by the long bungee. There are many delightful ways to enjoy the Himalayas, and jumping off of a solid bridge now appears to be one of them.
Altopiano di Asiago, Italy
In Vicenza, Italy, you have the opportunity to experience an extremely high bungee jump, in the gorgeous setting of the Alps. The bridge-based bungee jump in Vicenza offers an awesome jump from a height of 574 feet down into a ravine. If you're a little bit wary of jumping, you can make yourself feel better before, or after the jump, with some zesty Italian comfort food. Maybe after is safer, as far as your stomach is concerned.
Whistler Bridge, British Columbia, Canada
The area of Whistler in British Columbia boasts all kinds of outdoor adventures, from rock and mountain climbing, to mountain biking, rafting and skiing. Now you can add bungee jumping to the list. You'll get to jump 160 feet down, toward the rushing waters of the Cheakamus River. The alpine setting is gorgeous, the thrills of jumping unparalleled, and if you'd like to splash into the river for a quick dip, that can be arranged, too.

Scientists have found a gene that may cause the extreme form of PMS known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (sometimes treated with Prozac, pictured). But should the disorder be considered a mental illness?
According to Barbara Kantrowitz and Pat Wingert of Newsweek, a study at the Rockefeller University showed that female mice with a gene variant called "brain-derived neurotropic factor Met" had memory problems and anxiety at certain points in their menstrual cycle."Women aren't mice," Kantrowitz and Wingert note, but 20-30% of women have the same gene variant, and PMDD sufferers experience some of the same symptoms as the mice. Lead study author Joanna Spencer says, "On a broader scale, I think that this kind of research shows that hormones do affect the brain, and they do affect behavior."
So if hormones affect the brain, do those most profoundly affected suffer from a mental disorder? That's what the American Psychiatric Association will decide when it determines whether to include PMDD in the DSM-5. Kantrowitz and Wingert write, "The American Psychiatric Association first considered adding PMDD to an earlier edition of the manual 20 years ago, but women's health advocates protested, claiming that making PMDD an official disorder would pathologize female biology and incorrectly label women as mentally ill." But as with so many disorders, that "label" might convince insurance companies to pay for treatment. And for some women, scientific recognition of their premenstrual problems might be comforting.
The debate over PMDD shows how difficult it can be to separate mind from body, and how artificial these separations sometimes are. The term "mental illness" can still be stigmatizing, but it shouldn't be — at least in part because there's often no real distinction between a mental illness and a physical one. If we truly understood how reproductive hormones affect mood, then we might gain a greater appreciation for the interconnections between brain and body, and thus build support for parity between mental health and physical health treatments. We might also end the blame, stereotype, and second-guessing that currently attend PMS and mental illness alike, and replace these with a more holistic view of health that recognizes the influence of mind on body and body on mind.

Not to take any frantic buzz from the pending release next week of "Those Guys Have All The Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" by James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales, but former ESPN "SportsCenter" anchor Dan Patrick tried to temper the anticipation a bit on his syndicated radio and TV show this morning, saying he thinks "people will be disappointed in the book because it won't be as titillating as they thought."
Still, Patrick added, "I think you're going to find out things that will fascinate you."
Patrick, who spent 18 years at ESPN as an anchor and host on both TV and radio before leaving in 2007 to start his own media venture, responded to the GQ excerpt of the book that came out Monday (previous blog post on this linked here). It's the first real piece of meat dangled by the publishers to the mainstream media in anticipation of the release of the book next Tuesday.
Patrick is quoted in the excerpt, but offered much more background to that, his time at ESPN, and what he thinks will be a somewhat deflated response based on previous books done on the network.
"I don't think people are going to read the book and come away with what they want," said Patrick. "It's because the previous book by Mike Freeman ("ESPN: The Uncensored History" in 2001) had a lot of sex in it, sexual harassment stories in it. I don't know if Jim Miller and Tom Shales will have that approach. I think they'll tell stories. They told me some stories that I didn't even know took place. But I think that you will find with these writers is they did their homework. And they have just about anything they want to write, they have it at their fingertips.
"And people ratted on one another. That was really what was sad. People just turned and fired. It was 'ready, fire, aim.' And people just turned and stabbed everybody. That's what I found out, which is really disheartening.
"It's people who are still there, who work with some of the people they stabbed in the back. That's the real sad part.
"You build friendships. It's a great place. But there are people there who are conniving, backstabbing and jealous. I'm talking about talent to management. And that's what's sad, because it should come to this. And it will. There'll be bloodshed, it'll be ugly. It'll be embarrassing.
"But the story after the book is out will be: What wasn't in the book?"

UMass Boston women's tennis (3-8, 1-5 Little East Conference) will host Plymouth State University (6-6-, 4-3) Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. in a must-win contest for the Beacons. The Beacons will not only host their Senior Day honoring Hieu Nguyen (Dorchester, Mass.) and Wendy Steinman (Dudley, Mass.), but will also hold their annual "Hit It To Win It."
With two LEC conference games left, the Beacons need wins in each (Worcester State Sunday) of their remaining matches and the loser of Friday's contest between the University of Southern Maine and Rhode Island College to lose their match on Saturday as well. On the flip side, the Panthers have already clinched the fourth seed in the six-team Little East Conference Tournament that begins Tuesday.
Despite their recent struggles in the wins column, Nguyen thinks the Beacons are capable of beating a Panthers squad that has beaten them in each of the past three seasons.
"Last night we played Suffolk and that was definitely a boost; the score didn't say much, but as a team that was definitely a practice round because they are similar to Plymouth," Nguyen said. "We know Plymouth is a tough team but it's a new year, they have new players just like we do and it's our home courts now."
A year ago the Panthers defeated the Beacons in the Little East Conference Quarterfinals by a 5-1 score, but the team thinks their biggest focus Saturday should be on themselves, rather than their opponents.
"Overall even though the scores don't show it, we've had a really good season point wise and with the mental and skills aspects of the game," said Steinman.
"Our only problem is we just need to know how to finish the points and finish the game in general. We have the skills to be successful and we have that motivation-that this is what we have to do [to make the postseason] and that we're going to push ourselves just a bit further."
If UMass Boston is going to come away with a victory, the Beacons will have to do something they've worked on all season long: playing to finish points, rather than just keep them alive.
With Steinman out with an injury for the past few weeks, the Beacons have relied on some of the younger members on the roster to step up.
Junior Samantha Counts (Bridgewater, Mass.) has been strong at number two singles all season long, while Imani Williams (Roxbury, Mass.) has stabilized the Beacons with her presence at number three singles. Freshman Stephony Reeves (Dorchester, Mass.), Solveig Castelli (Precojo, France) and Shihyu Yang (Taipei, Taiwan) have all stepped up and made big impacts in their first year.
For the Beacons two seniors, the growth of their teammates is something they've come to expect after spending four years with the program.
"For me personally [UMass Boston women's tennis] has been a great thing," Steinman said. "This is a commuter school and Hieu and I have a friendship that's one of a kind and we met because of this program. You meet so many people through this team and you just learn how to work as a team. We've carried on what others have taught us and each year we've become stronger people and seen our teammates grow as well."
Even with a win Saturday, the Beacons will need to defeat Worcester State on Sunday at Noon, in order to capture their second straight trip to the LEC Tournament.
