The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes!
If you're going to pay homage to Victorian music hall culture in 2013, how better to do so than with someone as popular now as he was back then? That's precisely what young theatre company Morphic Graffiti has done in this follow up to its well received 2012 debut 'Jekyll and Hyde'.
Set in 1898, between author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killing off Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls and reluctantly resurrecting the character by popular demand, Leslie Bricusse's musical is presented as a morsel chucked to audiences ravenous for more of the great detective. Holmes is alive! But what of his great nemesis, Professor Moriarty?
The joy of Luke Fredericks's production is in the detail, from the audience banter to the puppetry, magic tricks, purpose-built proscenium arch and cardboard cut-out scenery. Played across every level of the atmospheric, authentically Victorian Hoxton Hall, it beautifully evokes entertainment from a different era.
So, it's a shame that – barring a nice pre-interval twist – the single story to which all of this is pegged is so flimsy. There are some fun songs, but much of the bum-numbing three-hour run-time feels like filler, stretched even thinner by the numerous variety-style interludes.
Nonetheless, there's much to enjoy, from Amanda Goldthorpe-Hall's brilliantly hammy opera singer to a hilarious Stephen Leask ad-libbing effortlessly as the hapless Inspector Lestrade. Tim Walton's disappointingly bland Holmes may be the name in lights, but Leask is the star of this show. Tom Wicker

Lemon Pickle with Ginger and Green Chillies
Here is the Lemon pickle that my amma makes..she also makes one with red chilly powder..but as this version has good amounts of ginger..i am submitting for the Think Spice event hosted by the energetic Sunita who blogs at Sunita's world.
Here is the recipe...all the measurements are given in 'cups'..so you can use smaller cups or regular sized ones..depending on how much you want.
Lemons: 10 (appx)
Ginger: 1/2 cup cut in pcs.
Green Chilly: 1/2 cup cut in pcs
Salt: 1/2 cup
LG - 1/2 tsp.
Methi powder (roasted and powdered):1/2 tsp.
1. Reserve 4 lemons to be used later. Dice the remaining lemons in cubes.
2. Dice the ginger and green chilly in medium pcs.
3. Place the lemons,green chilly,ginger in a large bottle.
4. Add salt,methi powder and LG to the above. Add the juice of the reserved 4 lemons and mix well with a wooden spoon.
5. Now place the lemon pickle in the sun for 10-15 days...then the pickle is ready to eat!!
1. After the lemon pickle has been placed in the sun for the 10-15 day period..store the pickle in the fridge for a long shelf life.
2. Please make sure that u do not put the stalks of the green chillies..it is a pain to eat..can u guess how i know this...i know..i am such a moron!!
3. I made my pickle using a regular sized cup..so the lemons are specified for that qty..please adjust to yours.
Oh! yeah...and i have removed the word-verification for a nutty buddy of mine..so that she does not get mad when she is commenting on my food ;)

AXA Equitable donates Thomas Hart Benton's epic mural "America Today" to Met Museum
Thomas Hart Benton, City Activities with Dancehall from America Today, 193031. Mural cycle consisting of ten panels. Egg tempera with oil glazing over Permalba on a gesso ground on linen mounted to wood panels with a honeycomb interior. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gift of AXA Equitable, 2012.
American artist Thomas Hart Bentons epic mural America Todaya sweeping panorama of American life, celebrating the promise of modern industry and technology and the accomplishments of working people in the boom years of the 1920shas been donated by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company to
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
. The announcement was made jointly yesterday by Thomas P. Campbell, the Museums Director and CEO, and Mark Pearson, AXA Equitable Chairman and CEO.
Benton (18891975) created the ten-panel mural cycle in 193031 as a commission for the third-floor boardroom of the New School for Social Research in New York City. Referring to sketches he made during his travels around the U.S. in the 1920s, Benton initially executed nine of the panels, which were first seen by the public when the International-style building designed by Joseph Urban at 66 West 12th Street opened on New Years Day, 1931; he completed the tenth panel later. The mural cycle filled the four walls of the 30-by-22-foot boardroom. Figures of farmers, coal miners, steelworkers, architects and builders, doctors and teachers surrounded viewers, representing a cross-section of American life. In 1986, American art scholar Lloyd Goodrich remarked that Benton took the whole face of America and tried to make a work of art out of it .It was a new technique completely in mural painting, of actually taking reality and making mural art directly out of it. Although Benton received no fee for the commission, America Today established him as his eras leading American muralist. Its success provided the impetus for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) mural programs of the Great Depression.
In announcing the acquisition, Mr. Campbell stated: This is a momentous gift to the Met and to New York City. AXA Equitables exceptional gift brings to the Museum both a great work of art and a significant cultural landmark, one that forged a new American idiom in the visual arts. It will certainly play a key role in our ideas about modern art at the Met.
While discussing AXA Equitables decision to give Bentons great painting to the Metropolitan Museum, Mr. Pearson noted: America Today embodies the very spirit of America and its technological genius. Above all, the mural is a monumental tribute to the American worker, and as such, we felt it was the right moment to make a gift of it to the American people, in keeping with AXA Equitables commitment to preserve the masterworks legacy for future generations.
Sheena Wagstaff, Chairman of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum , added: This extraordinary gift greatly enriches the Museums narrative of 20th-century American art. It is a work of immense scale and significance, and represents a uniquely American brand of modernism that condenses the spirit of the Jazz Age, anticipates Regionalism, and holds a fascinating and deeply ambivalent relationship to avant-garde European movements as well as to the Mexican mural movement. In addition to presaging subsequent Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, its full blown presentation of American culture includes remarkable allusions to industrialization, race relations, and social values.
When America Today is installed at the Metropolitan Museum, its original spatial arrangement will be recreated so that the mural cycle can be viewed as Benton conceived it.
The Murals History
After more than 50 years at the New School for Social Research in a room used first as the boardroom and later as a classroom, America Today was not receiving the physical protection or public attention it deserved. In 1982, the school announced the sale of the mural cycle to the Manhattan art dealer Maurice Segoura, with the condition that it would not be re-sold outside the United States or as individual panels. But the work proved difficult to sell as a whole and the likelihood increased that the panels would be dispersed.
America Today was acquired by AXA Equitable (then Equitable Life) in 1984, after efforts on the part of then-Mayor Edward I. Koch and others to keep it intact and in New York City. Two years later, after extensive cleaning and restoration, America Today was unveiled to critical acclaim in AXA Equitables new headquarters at 787 Seventh Avenue. When the company moved its corporate headquarters again in 1996, to 1290 Avenue of the Americas, America Today was put on display in the lobby. There it remained until January 2012, when the company was asked to remove it to make way for a renovation. The removal triggered AXA Equitables decision to place the historic work in a museum collection. Curators Pari Stave, on behalf of AXA Equitable, and H. Barbara Weinberg, on behalf of the Met, were instrumental in moving the project forward.
This is an example of a dynamic civic partnership between AXA Equitable and the Metropolitan Museum, both venerable institutions with connections to New York City that date back to the mid-19th century," said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. "Thanks to AXA Equitables civic leadership, well be able to preserve an important part of our collective cultural legacy. This act is an affirmation that private and public institutions can work together effectively to ensure New York Citys position as a world financial and cultural capital.
Former Mayor Kochwhose administrations efforts in the early 1980s to preserve the mural and keep it in New York City have now been made permanent through the gift to the Metropolitan Museum, and who in recent years has worked at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, where the mural has been on view in the lobbyadded: I have had the pleasure of years of exposure to Thomas Hart Bentons muralAmerica Todayseeing and appreciating it every morning when entering my office building. Now millions visiting the Met will have that joy.
America Today
America Today was Thomas Hart Bentons first major mural commission and the most ambitious he ever executed in New York City. It remains his best-known work.
Not wishing to work in true fresco directly on the wallas José Clemente Orozco elected to do for his concurrent commission in the New Schools public dining room and student loungeBenton painted off-site on panels that were to be installed in the boardroom after they were completed. He availed himself of a loft that Alvin Johnson, the schools director who had commissioned the mural cycle, obtained for his use on the twelfth floor of a nearby building; constructed wallboard panels reinforced by 1-x-3 pine cradling; glued onto the surfaces heavy linen and primed it with seven coats of gesso and two layers of Permalba (a commercial composite oil paint) to create a smooth, white, plaster-like surface; and applied an under painting of distemper (pigments mixed with water and a glue or casein binder) and a final coat of egg tempera (dry pigments mixed with egg and water), a venerable medium of the old masters with which he was eager to experiment. He then enriched the color in some of the darker areas with transparent glazes of oil paint. Finally he treated the murals with a coat of natural resin varnish and a thin layer of wax, producing an almost luminous, eggshell-like surface. Here and there, he attached to the murals straight and curved molding segments covered with aluminum leaf. These helped to organize the complex narratives and to separate the scenes. As Benton scholar Emily Braun noted: Like a Gershwin tune, the murals evoke a jazzy rhythm syncopated visually by the jaunty silver bolts of the moldings.
Informed visually by Bentons characteristic stylized realism, America Today celebrates the development of new technology and of workers in all regions, from the farmers whom the artist knew as a native Midwesterner to steelworkers and construction crews engaged in building modern cities. Instruments of Power, the central and largest panel, faced the viewer entering the boardroom. Occupying the south wall, it extended almost from floor to ceiling and was bracketed by two windows that looked out onto the life of the city. Devoid of human presence, Instruments of Power announced Bentons passion for the Machine Age by juxtaposing icons of modern industry and transportation, including a rushing train, an airplane, and a dirigible. These and other forms declare that industry and technology will thrust America into the future.
The other three walls of the room were also lined with large panels, but unlike Instruments of Power, these contained figures that crowded the viewer on all sides. The varying scale at which Benton portrayed these figures is typical of his style: some are life-size and loom over the viewer and each panel contains at least one immense, iconic figure. On the west wall were three panels (beginning closest to the door): Deep South, Midwest, and Changing West. These focused on the principal agricultural regions and the West, included vignettes of labor by prosperous and poor, white and black citizens, and underscored the evolution of farming methods from antiquated to modern. On the east wall were three panels (beginning closest to the door): City Building, Steel, and Coal. These distilled activities from the industrial East Coast and included some of the cycles strongest social commentary in figures such as an exhausted coal miner. On the north wall, flanking the door, were two panels depicting urban life: City Activities with Dance Hall and City Activities with Subway. Here the settings ranged from speakeasies to movie houses and sleazy dance halls to Wall Street and the dramatis personaemore numerous than in any of the other panelsranged from boxers to strippers to Salvation Army singers. The tenth panel, an over-door, which was installed between the two urban scenes, was entitled Outreaching Hands. It wasnt clear there was a Depression until I was almost finished, Benton said later, so I put that breadline over the door.
Executed before the effects of the 1929 stock market crash and the seriousness of the Great Depression were fully understood, America Today is imbued with the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. This is apparent in the scenes kaleidoscopic variety, their surging, cinematic vitality, and the invitation they offer to read them in sequence, crosswise, or around and across the room. Benton scholar Henry Adams described the room as an all-enveloping visual sensation unlike anything achieved in American painting.

The latest episode of the php|architect podcast has been released - an interview with Andrew Sampson, producer of stephenfy.com, the website of "actor/writer/polymath Stephen Fry".
This week's interview with Andrew Sampson is a perfect example of what we are trying to accomplish. Andrew produces stephenfry.com, actor/writer/polymath Stephen Fry's website. By his own admission (although we suspect he's just being modest), Andrew is not a technical person, but thanks to PHP and WordPress he and a small team run a website that handles tremendous amounts of traffic while working with someone like Stephen Fry, who travels constantly and therefore needs to be able to work in a distributed environment.
You can check out this new episode in one of two ways - either via the in-page player or in a direct download from the php|architect site.

PALATKA — The St. Johns River Water Management District unanimously approved a plan Tuesday that could eventually mean the donation and sale of more than 35,000 acres of the 600,000 acres it owns.
The vote ends a yearlong assessment to evaluate the district's land, acquired over the past 30 years, to determine if there were any properties no longer needed for conservation or properties that should be converted to a "better use." The evaluation began after directives from state officials.
Board member Maryam Ghyabi, Ormond Beach, called the process "amazingly transparent and science-based."
Ghyabi gave credit to Robert Christianson, director of the district's operations and land resources division, for his communication and collaborative efforts with the public and local governments. Christianson and his staff conducted dozens of meetings with officials and the public, including four meetings over the summer attended by a total of 286 people. After the draft plan was published, the district conducted six additional meetings, attracting 124 participants.
Each step of the approved plan will return to the board for individual votes as the plan moves forward, district officials said Tuesday.
"Today is not an authorization to sell anything," Christianson said. "It's a plan to move forward and see if we can work out the details on these strategies."
The plan includes provisions that could result in the sale of more than 10,000 acres of land, with or without conservation easements.
However, after hearing concerns voiced by dozens of members of the public about how selling the land — especially a piece on the north shore of Lake Apopka — could eventually conflict with the management goals for nearby district-owned land, board members agreed to amend the plan. They added a caveat stating the intent of any future buyers should not conflict with conservation purposes on those district lands.
Christianson said the action would "significantly up the trust level" in the district's process.
Overall, the district decided to retain ownership of 569,734 acres, about 92 percent of the land it owns.
The plan calls for the district to donate 25,091 acres to local governments – including Volusia and Flagler counties – while retaining a conservation easement on the land. In Volusia, the district plans to donate 18,045 acres to the county and 23 acres to the city of Port Orange. In Flagler, the plan calls for the donation of 4,686 acres to the county. The district would retain conservation easements on the land to protect its long-term conservation value.
District-wide, an estimated 6,619 acres would be sold with the district retaining conservation easements. Another 3,591 acres could be sold without conservation easements because it is no longer needed for conservation or for the original purpose it was acquired.
In total, the sales could produce an estimated $16.4 million, district officials said. By Florida law, any profits realized from the sale of the land must be reinvested in buying conservation lands.
In Flagler, the district proposes selling 584 acres, retaining conservation easements. In Volusia, the plan calls for selling 3,593 acres with the conservation easements but selling or exchanging 131 acres outright.
District-wide, the plan also allows for the conversion of 13,388 acres of land to alternative uses such as forestry or peat removal.

I want to make some of my own custom inputs/battery terminals.
Toolmaker aint cheap, and I like building stuff, so any ideas on how to go about this.
Don't wanna have to go out and buy a cnc mill to make these, and have seen some made with a die grinder and they were rough, was hoping for a metal hole saw if you know what I mean.
Making the hole where the 1/0 goes, and threading the piece to tighten the 1/0 down is not the problem.
Just looking how to make the rod that goes into the amp out of a solid block.
I know that aluminum cuts pretty easy with a 100 tooth blade, but that still doesn't make a cylinder.

Treatment with two osteoporosis drugs better at increasing bone density than single-drug therapy
Combination of denosumab and teriparatide produces greatest reported increase in bone density
A combination of two FDA-approved osteoporosis drugs with different mechanisms of action was found to increase bone density better than treatment with either drug alone in a small clinical trial. As reported in paper receiving Online First publication in The Lancet, Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) investigators found that treatment combining denosumab (Prolia) and teriparatide (Forteo) was superior to single-agent treatment in a 12-month trial in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. The authors note that additional study is required before their findings should be put into clinical practice.
"We found that giving both of these drugs together increased bone mineral density more than treatment with just one drug and more than has been reported for any currently available therapy for postmenopausal osteoporosis," says Benjamin Leder, MD, of the MGH Endocrine Unit, corresponding author of the Lancet report. "This is particularly important since previous attempts to combine teriparatide with bisphosphonate drugs like Fosamax did not show any additional improvement."
Bone density in young adults is maintained by a constant interaction between cells called osteoclasts, which break down bone, and osteoblasts, that form new bone. After a woman goes through menopause, both processes accelerate, but the breakdown or resorption of bone increases more, leading to the overall loss of bone density and osteoporosis, a thinning of the bones leading to increased risk of fractures. While several types of drugs that increase bone density – teriparatide, which stimulates bone formation, and several that block bone resorption – have been approved for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, none can reliably restore normal bone strength in most patients or eliminate osteoporosis-related fracture risk.
Previous trials combining teriparatide with bisphosphonates, which block breakdown, did not show improvement over treatment with a single drug. But some animal studies combining teriparatide with denosumab, which blocks resorption using a different mechanism, suggested a possible benefit, leading the MGH team to design the current trial. They enrolled 100 postmenopausal women determined to be at high fracture risk, based on their bone density and other risk factors, who were randomly divided into three groups.
Over the 12-month study period, one group received a subcutaneous 60 mg dose of denosumab every six months, another group self-administered daily 20-microgram injections of teriparatide, and the third received both drugs at the same dosage schedules. Bone density and blood tests were taken at the outset of the study and after 3, 6 and 12 months, and the final analysis included 94 participants who completed at least one follow-up visit.
Participants receiving treatment with both drugs had significantly better results than those receiving just one at several measured sites. For example, bone density measured at the lumbar spine increased 6.2 percent with teriparatide alone and 5.5 percent with denosumab, but combination treatment resulted in a 9.1 percent increase. Similar bone density improvements were seen at the hip.
In considering possible reasons for this combination's superiority over combined bisphosphonate and teriparatide, Leder explains that teriparatide actually stimulates both bone formation and resorption and that denosumab may more completely block teriparatide-induced resorption while only partially interfering with the drug's stimulation of bone formation. An associate professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, he notes that longer studies are required in larger groups of patients to assess the combination's ability to reduce fracture risk and its long-term safety.
Co-lead authors of the Lancet paper are Joy Tsai, MD, and Alexander Uihlein, MD, MGH Endocrinology Unit. Additional co-authors are Ruchit Kumbhani, Erica Siwila-Sackman, Elizabeth McKay, Sherri-Ann Burnett-Bowie, MD, Robert Neer, MD, MGH Endocrinology; and Hang Lee, PhD, MGH Biostatistics Center. The study was supported by National Center for Research Resources grant 1 UL1 RR025758-04 to the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center, and grants from Eli Lilly Inc. and Amgen Inc, companies that market the tested drugs.
Massachusetts General Hospital, founded in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $775 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, reproductive biology, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine. In July 2012, MGH moved into the number one spot on the 2012-13 U.S. News & World Report list of "America's Best Hospitals."

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Bucknell University Department of Theatre and Dance will present a production of "Pride and Prejudice" Oct. 21 through 24.
Anjalee Deshpande Hutchinson, assistant professor of theatre and dance, will direct the mainstage production. It is adapted from the Jane Austen novel for the stage by Jon Jory, who headed the Actors Theater of Louisville for 31 years. Jory is professor of drama at University of Washington in Seattle.
Most popular novel
"There is a reason women still swoon when they hear the name, Mr. Darcy," said Deshpande Hutchinson. "For 200 years, English novelist Jane Austen has charmed generation after generation of independent women with her most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice. The play resonates with many people on this campus. People don't just enjoy this story, they champion it.
"In this new adaptation by Jory, witty intellectual verbal duels between fiercely independent women and arrogant but handsome men encapsulate the short leap one can take from good sense to bad choice with one dangerously captivating glance."
Deshpande Hutchinson calls Jory's theatrical staging remarkable. "Unlike its BBC sister version as well as the recent film with Keira Knightley, this version feels closer to the book because it attempts to keep the narrative voice intact, like only theatre can."
Guest choreographer
The play's dance choreography is by Julie Petry, guest artist from Bloomsburg University who specializes in social and period dance.
"Petry has been a gift to our actors. In tandem with that is the choreography of the scene changes which technical director Mark Hutchinson has personally taken in hand. The locations change so quickly, every moment of the play feels like a dance," she said.
With the exception of a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Oct. 23, each performance begins at 8 p.m. in the Harvey M. Powers Theatre in Coleman Hall. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens.
Advance tickets are available through the Bucknell box office or by phone at 570-577-1000. Tickets also are available in person an hour before each performance. "Pride and Prejudice" is being performed as part of the University's Homecoming Weekend celebration; seating may be limited for the weekend performances.

Submission + - Are We Witnessing the Decline of Ubuntu? (datamation.com) 2
jammag writes: "When the history of free software is written, I am increasingly convinced that this last year will be noted as the start of the decline of Ubuntu," opines Linux pundit Bruce Byfield. After great initial success, Ubuntu and Canonical began to isolate themselves from the mainstream of the free software community. Canonical, he says, has tried to control the open source community, and the company has floundered in many of its initiatives. Really, the mighty Ubuntu, in decline?

"Wouldn't you eventually get bored?" Like clockwork, the question arises when I tell someone quixotically, arrogantly, that I plan on living forever. From the limited perspective of 20 years, even the prospect of living another six or seven decades in full color can be impossible to envisage. Hedging, I answer that assuming a world where radical life extension is possible, there will be no telling as to how different the human experience will be from what we know—that is to say, where 200-year-olds won't merely be stuck playing very, very slow mah-jongg.

Phoenix police need help solving an armed robbery that saw two suspects flee a Phoenix convenience store with four 12-packs of beer.
A man and woman, both Hispanic, walked into a Circle K store at 6000 N. 23rd Avenue on April 4 just before 1 a.m.
They grabbed the beer and headed toward the exit without paying, police said.
One security guard blocked the exit and another security guard ordered the pair to drop to the ground while holding a can of pepper spray.
The male suspect pulled a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at both guards. Both suspects fled the store without the beer and got into a red Ford Taurus driven by an unknown person.
The male suspect is described as between 5'6" to 5'8" tall and weighs between 205 to 225 pounds. He has a shaved head. The only clothing description given was that he was wearing a dark-colored shirt.
The female suspect is between 5'4" to 5'6" tall and weighs between 140 to 160 pounds. She has black hair in a bun. She was wearing a white long-sleeved blouse.
Silent Witness is also asking for the public's help in locating two fugitives wanted in separate murder cases.
Elton Jardines, 25, is wanted in connection with a double homicide and two counts of aggravated assault.
He is described as 5'6" tall and weighs 150 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes.
In a separate case, Cameron Taylor, 26, is wanted on original charges of homicide, four counts of attempted first-degree murder, four counts of aggravated assaults and drive-by shooting. He is also facing charges of endangerment and assisting a criminal street gang.
He is described as 5'11" tall and weighs 150 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. He is also known as Maurice Taylor and "Woo."
Taylor should be considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information about any of these fugitives or crimes is asked to call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS OR 480-TESTIGO.

Caged Kitty
Last week I adopted a cat from a local shelter. They had rescued the cat from a woman who had been keeping this cat and about 20 others in cages where she was living in her booth at a local flea market. From the looks of it this cat (which is about 10 mos old) has spent her entire life in a cage.
Now that she's free she doesn't know how to deal with open spaces. I have been keeping her in my bathroom because when she's in open spaces she freaks out and hides. So in my bathroom she has her kennel and her litter box, food, lots of room (big bathroom) and everything she needs. The problem. Her favorite place to be is IN the litter box. She lays in the litter box unless she comes out to eat or play.
She has finally started opening up to me and will come out of the litter box if I first reach in and pet her long enough to get her purring. Once I stop she will eventually come out of the box to get more attention.
So what can I do to get her to stop living in the litter box? She has a kennel she can stay in for a small space and initially she did but now she prefers the litter box.
Any ideas would be helpful. I realize that with her background it's going to take time to get her to open up and move beyond the one room. Right now I'm just trying to get her used to me before I worry about trying to get her out into the rest of the house.
OH, that poor baby! THANK you for giving her a loving home.
You've had her one week. This is not long enough to overcome her depriviation of 10 years.
She WILL come out. DO NOT RUSH her in any way. Leave the door open and go about your business, cleaning etc or whatever.
Go in the bathroom and sit with her. Talk to her and try and entice her to play, as no cat can play and be stressed at the same time. Some catnip might help relax her. Get a little box of treats, like Pounce. Rattle it before you give her one, then gradually rattle it from outside the bathroom.
Let her stay in the bathroom for now if that is where she is comfortable. Even good changes can stress cats terribly. She must do this on her own, and she will when she feels safe. Cats are so curious that she will want to explore eventually.
Don't get discouraged, and when you do see her venturing out of the bathroom for quick forays, don't make a fuss, but just ignore her.
She is a very lucky kitty that you found her. Do you have a pic? I just love older cats!
Oh, and lying in the litter box is very common for cats who are in cages. She'll eventually stop doing that when she finds more comfortable places to curl up.
That's 10 months not 10 years. SHe's still a baby. The only picture I have of her is of her butt when she was hiding behind the curtains in my bedroom last weekend.
She had started to come out of the bathroom initially and browse around the house but the other cats scared her and she's take off back to her hidey hole. Then she just took off and dissapeared for 4 days (litterally) so when I finally found her I decided it was best to start her back in the smaller space and let her get used to me before dealing with the larger space and the other cats.
My biggest concern is that once we do get her out of the litter box and out in the house that the litter box will continue to be her safe place.... and I'm thinking that's not very healthy for her.
10 months! Okay - that'll teach me to read more closely!
This will be much easier as she is still something of a kitten.
You are a worrywort, I can see - not that that is a bad thing!
I have 3 ex-feral cats in my house right now. These were WILD cats who had never been touched or even within 50 feet of a human, been in a house, etc.
They came around just fine, and so will your girl. A couple of months from now (and it may take that long, although there is no way to tell and depends on personality) you'll be wondering why you worried.
She will be okay, although she may never be the most sociable cat in the world with strangers and will probably bond very closely with you only. She needs to learn to trust and up until now, she has had no reason to. Patience and consistancy will do the trick.
She'll come out and stop lying in the litterbox when, and ONLY when, she is ready and she has to decide when that is.
She looks very pretty, from what I can see of her!
So are there any health risks with her spending so much time in the litter box?
Just keep the litter very clean and she'll be o.k.
Many of our cats spend the whole day in the litterbox when we take them to adoption clinics.
On those days, everything else is strange and frightening to them, and their litterbox is the only familiar thing they have so they cling to it, just like your girl.
She looks like a beautiful girl,with those colours and a wonderful striped tail,maybe soon will see the front
Like Lucky says,thank you for rescuing this little baby...I am sure she'll come around.How many more cats do you have? How are they reacting to the newcomer?
Please don't give up on her....

I have two others, a boy that's about 2 - big fat lazy gray tabby. And a girl that's right at about a year old, she's a tortoise (picture attached).
The boy is ok with her and when she will let him near (without running away) he will attempt to groom her. The girl is having a harder time and hisses the second the new cat looks at her.
I had a Tortoise just like yours her name was Cookie and she never liked anyone but my youngest son who bought her for $5.00,she lived to be 18yrs and happily bossed everyone around.Two females might never like each other,but they probably will learn to accept the situation with a little hissing ever now and then
I brought a stray kitten(male) home 2yrs ago to my 2 males and my big Tabby loves him,but the other still hisses and growls at him,nothing worse than that.
Here is a pic of my current crew!!!

you just saved me from posting a picture of my big tabby.... he looks just like yours. It's amazing how many of them there are and how they all look basically the same. There is another one running around my neighborhood that looks just like him except it's a girl.
Skitty definately has a unique personality. She loves to play fetch. This is the first cat I've ever seen that will bring you her ball and drop it and then get an attitude when you don't throw it so she can bring it back to you and start all over again. She wants to be petted when she wants to be. I swear she thinks she is a dog. She has pretty much attached herself to my bf, she definately prefers him to anyone else, although she has always seemed to prefer guys to women for some reason.
Tisha (the new cat) is doing better. Yesterday I opened the bathroom door and closed off the bedroom to see if she would come out and she did. She has found a spot under my chair in the bedroom that is now hers, leaving the litter box for littering. She still pretty much just runs from one hiding place to another one. I wonder if she will always be one of those cats that stays in hiding for the most part. The "well I have 3 cats but you'll never see Tisha".
Your girl may one of those kitties too!
I do have a very special feeling for Tabbys,I love taking pictures of him,he's very photo-genic.Maybe it is because they look a little wild,although he is anything but..
He's like a big,calm,cuddly lump of fluff,there is something strangely wise about him.
Except for the episodes I've had lately with him,he is the most wonderful cat.
"The cruelest animal is the Human animal"

What kind of episodes?
There is little that will convince my big fat tabby to roll off his back much less get up and run after it. Although he does have a fondness for the laser pointer.
Well,I have talked about Rockys problem at lenght and I am sure Lucky is tired of hearing about it
I've been at the wrong end of his fury after he's seen a strange cat outside a couple of times and ended up in the ER
I am hoping the problem with him will be solved next week.
Any more improvements with the skittish little lady?
"The cruelest animal is the Human animal"
3 kitties,Rocky(r.i.p my boy),Chico,Vinnie
She's out of the litter box. I opened the door to the bathroom and closed to door to my bedroom so she has a larger area to roam and she has moved from the litter box to hiding behind a chair.
Oh well,I guess that's an improvement
I've seen at HS that a lot of cats lay in their litter-boxes....My little Vinnie who was found in a park,used to want to sleep in her box too,until he felt secure enough to spread his wings(paws??)
This is what he looked liked after he had been cleaned up!!!
"The cruelest animal is the Human animal"
3 kitties,Rocky(r.i.p my boy),Chico,Vinnie
SO pretty.
My mom came over this afternoon and we got Tisha (the new kitty) out into the house again. My other girl cat keeps trying to corner her under a chair. Tisha took off again but at least now I know where she was hiding all that time as she's back there again. I'm hoping she'll eventually come out on her own again and start making herself at home.
I've obviously had her litter box and food in a seperate room from the other cats stuff. The room Tisha is hiding in is the room where the other cats food and litter box is. Should I go ahead and move her stuff in there too? If I leave it where it is and leave the door open the other two will most likely end up using it/ eating it.
Well Julie,I am sure Lucky could give you better advice...but what I did when I got little Vinnie,at night or when I left the house,I would put his litter-box,food and water with him in a seperate room,but he was a little kitten not a grown cat.
I have never introduced my cats to a new grown-up cat..
Since I was feeding him kitten-food,the big guys,Rocky and Chico,would try to eat it any chance they had,also go to the bathroom in the smaller box I had for Vinnie,with the result most of it went on the floor
"The cruelest animal is the Human animal"
3 kitties,Rocky(r.i.p my boy),Chico,Vinnie
She is definately coming around now. She still stays mostly in my bedroom but she's coming out some and she has started actually coming to me and letting me pet her.
I had the kitty food problem when I got my second kitty. She was a kitten and my first cat was a year old, so the older cat kept wanting to eat the kitten food.
Julie I am happy to hear that,it takes time to gain an animals trust,especially if she has been cooped up in a shelter,I think that is to be expected and I am happy you ar being patient with her,too many people give up at the first sign of trouble
I am sure she'll get closer every day

Elk County Concert Choir members dedicated to program
August 1998 marks the beginning for the Elk County Concert Choir. Back when it began, it was known as the Ridgway Concert Choir. It wasn't until members outside of Ridgway wanted to join when the name was changed. The choir was formed by Barbara Warmbier Whitehouse. Whitehouse molded the choir to dedicate a new organ to the First Presbyterian Church in Ridgway.World renowned musician Jon Freeburg, who was a Ridgway native, had helped inspire the choir. "Jon was going to be the organ player and he suggested forming a choir from the community to dedicate it," said Ron Capuano, an original member of the choir. "After the dedication we really enjoyed singing so we became the Ridgway Concert Choir."Thirteen years later, many original members still remain actively involved. In the sopranos: Gloria Almquist-Shull, Melinda Gasbarre, JoAnn Castle, Lois DeVilling, Georganne Freeburg, Edith Gardner, Darien Kontes, Noma Olay, Bev Yates and Gloria Udarbe; in the altos, Barb Gresh and Mary Lou Riegel; the tenors are Ron Capuano and Jack Cleaver; bass is Warren Riegel.Fellowship and friendship is a pertinent reason why members remain involved. "I continue to be a part of the choir because I enjoy it," Gresh said. "I am so proud of what we have accomplished. It is an outstanding group of people and I feel good singing with them."Some members have a musical background to offer but others simply have a passion for music. "It is probably one of the best releases of all time," Kontes said. "We have a good time; there is a lot of camaraderie. I sang in choirs in high school but I have no professional background. No one is professional singers, but we all learn from each other and have a good time."Being involved musically is attractive to members with a musical foundation. "I've personally been in music all my life. I used to play the clarinet and saxophone. I've been in a mixed choir, men's glee club and sang in a barbershop quartet in college," Capuano said. "I come back because of my love of music, the people, camaraderie and fellowship."Almquist-Shull has only been Principal Director for a few years but has been involved since the choir's beginning. "The people just enjoyed singing with each other so we remained a choir," Almquist-Shull said. "It is a wonderful thing to have this for the community."The Elk County Concert Choir will be performing the "Tapestry of Light: a Celtic Christmas Celebration." The shows are scheduled for tonight at 7:30 p.m. at St. Leo's Catholic Church in Ridgway and Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in St. Marys. Admission is free, and refreshments will be provided.Pick up a copy of the Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Actually I've spoken to lawyers about it, and given the nature of the RIAA's operation, it's a very reasonable assumption, cynical or otherwise. They cherry-pick their cases. Spend some time reading about the RIAA's lawsuit mill: that will help clear your head of some obvious misunderstandings. Start with Ray Beckerman's blog, go from there.
Regardless of how you feel about copyright, let's be honest here: The "right to privacy" is a bullshit excuse when you're involved in what is, more or less, a community activity.
I think we've lost sight of the bare metal workings of what the founding fathers meant them to be.
I am not saying I agree with either point, but there is a second point that follows your basis but is contradictory to your conclusion. the "right to privacy" is a valid excuse for all of those outside the community you believe you have an expectation of privacy within. Similar to how if you went to group therapy, you would expect (either legally (therapists) or "morally" (other group participants)) that you should have a right to privacy covering your interactions within that group/community.
Again, I'm
Implying pornographers are a bad thing.
Many, of course, are not bad 'things', or even bad people, (unless you are morally
Anonymity and political speech have been connected for quite a bit of the US' history, starting even from before independence: many of the messages pushing for independence from the UK were sent around as anonymous pamphlets. So, while it may not be explicitly mentioned the inferred right to privacy and the tradition on anonymous free speech does exist. Whether either of these are applicable to a college kid sharing music is a whole other story, though.
However, even so privacy and anonymity are not entirely the same. I think it's most obvious if you compare "private letter" with "anonymous letter". Privacy protects the contents, anonymity the sender. Most of the privacy rights come from a reading of the 14th amendment that the state may not restrict your liberty. Some various supreme court quotes:
"While this court has not attempted to define with exactness the liberty thus guaranteed, the term has received much consideration and some of the included things have been definitely stated. Without doubt, it denotes not merely freedom from bodily restraint but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in any of the common occupations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men."
"Whatever may be the justifications for other statutes regulating obscenity, we do not think they reach into the privacy of one's own home. If the First Amendment means anything, it means that a State has no business telling a man, sitting alone in his own house, what books he may read or what films he may watch. Our whole constitutional heritage rebels at the thought of giving government the power to control men's minds."
"These matters, involving the most intimate and personal choices a person may make in a lifetime, choices central to personal dignity and autonomy, are central to the liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. At the heart of liberty is the right to define ones own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life....The petitioners are entitled to respect for their private lives. The State cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime. Their right to liberty under the Due Process Clause gives them the full right to engage in their conduct without intervention of the government. 'It is a promise of the Constitution that there is a realm of personal liberty which the government may not enter.'
All of those deal with whether the state can regulate your personal life. There aren't really that many cases on whether you have a right to be anonymous while doing it.
In other words, it does not appear anywhere in the Constitution, and thus is not an absolute right and so this guy's argument about having a "First Amendment right to privacy" is bullshit.
This is what the supreme court said in 1995:
Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their identities frees them to express critical, minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.
That's not to say that everyone doing anything bad is protected by anonymity. But it should put strong bonds on whether the government can force a company (your ISP) to disclose your personal information to a third party. For example imagine that someone anonymous is coming with scolding political criticism and you file a slander case against them, not with any intent of winning only with the intent of exposing that person. But no, the word "anonymity" is not in the constitution so the question is very much real and on topic. Shame on the moderators.
Unfortunately, this is not about political discourse. This is about copyright law and civil litigation of same. The right to anonymous speech is not absolute, even in "democratic discourse" and political speech, ex: Someone states he is going to kill the President. In this case, a person is accused of violating the copyrights held by a different "person". That is not "democratic discourse" anymore than threatening or expressing a will to kill a government official.
Do you think it's right to post "scolding political criticism" anonymously? Maybe what the law should be protecting is the ability to respond to your critics.
I'm poring over the United States Constitution, as Amended, and I can't find where it grants a right to anonymity, either from the Federal government, or from other citizens. Can any confused hippies^W^W Constitutional scholars help me out here?
How about "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." So where in the Constitution does it give the government the power to invade my privacy?
Article 1 Section 8 "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;"
"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."
Article 3 Section 1 "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one
Now, please post the article and section of the Constitution of the United States where it says that you have an absolute right to privacy and anonymity.
It's because of people like you that many writers of the Constitution did not want to include the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution is not an exhaustive or complete list of your rights.
It is only a list of rights the government has.
As a concession to those who did not want the Bill of Rights,
the 9th and 10th Amendments were tacked on to the end.
You should really go back and read them [usconstitution.net].
A more appropriate challenge would be:
"please post the article and section of the Constitution of the United States where it sa
Did you even read the first sentence of what you posted? "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;". Jack Valenti's 'Forever minus a single day' may be a limited time where you come from, but for everybody else it is pretty obvious what it is...theft. The theft of our public domains from you, me, and all our descendants.
The USA copyright system was a contract, nothing more. Not
The Constitution doesn't grant rights to citizens, it restricts the rights the Government has. Of course, there are people who feel differently. Perhaps it's time for a new constitution? That is something for the citizens to decide.
However, whichever point of view you take, the question of constitutional rights doesn't apply to this case, because Government isn't party. It's RIAA vs. some John Doe. Constitutional limits (or Constitutional Rights) are just a smokescreen. Now we are down a rabbit hole and off
However, whichever point of view you take, the question of constitutional rights doesn't apply to this case, because Government isn't party.
On the contrary, the government is a party to this case, indirectly. The RIAA is basing its complaint on the privilege of copyright which was granted it by the government. If the government doesn't have the Constitutional authority to infringe on free speech, and enforcement of copyright in this manner would infringe on free speech, then the government cannot delegate the privilege of enforcing copyright in this manner to the RIAA.
Except - I don't see any examples here of any 'loss of freedom'. John Doe was sharing copyrighted material, which has been illegal for a very long time, so being prosecuted for it hardly represents anything new.
The right to share, the right for a fair trial, the right to use what you bought in whatever way you want; and consequently the right of privacy; are the first forts of freedom to fall.
We've never had the unlimited right to share what does not belong to us. There's nothing here preventing the defendant(s) from getting a fair trial. The unlimited 'right' to use what bought in whatever way you want has never been a right - it's strictly a creation of pirates to justify their actions. And you've never been able to claim anonymity to avoid prosecution except in the limited case of whistle blowers.
Or, in short, while your statement is essentially the 'perfect storm' of karmawhoring - it bears very little connection with reality.
Please show where in American history there was a time when people were free to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted works. Remember, if there is N copies of a work in existence authorized by the copyright holder and an action occurs without the copyright holders consent after which there are N+1 copies then copying has taken place and unless it falls under fair use, which is for a court to decide, then it is copyright infringement.
Please explain how this person is not getting a fair trial.
Please explain where in U.S. law it says one has an absolute right to privacy that can not be violate, at all, ever.
Please show where in American history there was a time when people were free to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted works.
For reference, it was between 1776 (When America was declared independent) and 1790 when America introduced their first copyright laws.
Beyond the basic facts of history, one could easily argue the time period was quite a bit larger than that, as the first copyright bill to appear similar to what we have, though a lot more limited, was not formed until the 1830's.
Since then it has mostly been extended, or expanded by signing treaties with others.
Your other points are right on, even if worded in a needlessly
No, we aren't losing our rights. We are f-ing handing them to the man on a silver platter.
"losing" implies we put up a fight.
But the attorneys will make money.. More people will be ruined financially, and more will be in jail ( don't laugh, this will start happening soon, so the *AAs can transfer the cost of pursuing to the government. )
Actually, I think this is at least amazingly better than calling it "theft". The analogy of "accessing 'content' without permission of the rightsholder" to "accessing private physical space without permission of the rightsholder" is far more rational than the usual attempt to analogize it with "removing property from the owner by force" ("theft").
As silly as it still sounds, this represents a substantial improvement.

Um, we've got this thing called "Google", you can type words into it and it finds pages with those words on them.
You could try it with those words...see what happens.
I take the other approach. I think we need to work to make things much worse for the average user (and not so average). We need to push for laws that make IP infringement a mandatory capital offense. And then we need to make sure sons of politicians get caught, daughters of RIAA execs get caught, spouses of MPAA execs get caught. Only then will we see some change that isn't awful.
You do that and let me know how that works out for you, m'kay?
What is it specifically you don't like about copyright and patent laws? Is it the whole thing; the whole concept? Or is it just parts (e.g. term lengths, DMCA, no protection of fair use, etc)? I don't know, perhaps it is the whole thing, and perhaps you should be violating every copyright and patent you can see. However, that being the case, good luck finding enough people for a political movement. Sure, they exist, but most people you talk to can see some utility in copyright and patent law, including most judges.
If it's not so much the entire bundle as it is certain parts, try to focus on those parts. Perhaps, if you object to DMCA, restrict yourself to distributing cracks for popular games. Or if you dislike term lengths, perhaps violate only the copyrights that are older than 20-30 years. Try to violate only what you object to.
An even better approach would be to divorce yourself from copyrighted media (or the elements you dislike). Prove to people that you, and they, can live without $BAD_FACTOR_OF_COPYRIGHT and everything that it could possibly bring. Prove that we are better off without it. It's certainly no less harmful to Big Media.
There's a lot of greed in play in the copyright debate. Not just on Big Media's side, but on both sides. It's difficult to differentiate between those who want change and those who want free stuff. Make it unavoidably clear, whatever you do, that you are not in it for the entertainment.
asserting rights to use all human knowledge as a human right
Do you think that the world would be a better place if the only thing we valued was manual labor? If any public knowledge was worthless (in a financial sense) knowledge?
The world already experimented with the idea that "knowledge is free to all". We ended up with opaque guilds that fiercely protected their trade secrets. The Freemasons and similar groups are a throwback to when skilled labor groups used every means they had to ensure that the skills of their trade never became public knowledge. And while
I think there's a great difference between worthless and priceless. And as for opaque and secretive medieval guilds, times have changed. Technology is no longer an arcane art known only to a few; the sciences both theoretical and practical are taught in universities and colleges the world over, the internet allows any piece of reverse-engineered information to be widely spread across the planet in moments, and even merely knowing something could be done would allow the creative output of millions of scienti

Yeah, I do.

In an age where dissemination of knowledge was incredibly expensive and relatively easy to trace and the average layman had even less education than a modern 4-years-old kid does. Do you really, honestly believe that 'trade secrets' could ever remain so in a world where WikiLeaks exists and thrives? that mere corporate associations would succeed where entire governments have not?
If secrecy is the worst thing you can think of then fucking bring it, go ahead and throw all this copyright crap out of the window.
If *everyone* disobeys, they will just automate the process, strip of us of more rights without due process and end up just adding a RIAA tax.
As far as I can see, the best way to change this stuff is civil disobedience - breaking the law, asserting rights to use all human knowledge as a human right, and accusing the law of denying the rights to freedom of. . . knowledge and communication. .
So what you're saying is that Nixon was standing up for our P2P rights with Watergate. He truly was a pioneer!
So what you're saying is that Nixon was standing up for our P2P rights with Watergate. He truly was a pioneer!
Quite obviously false - he was *destroying* information!
You have a right to communicate anonymously. This is protected by the first amendment and anyone who stands in your way of doing so is committing a crime.
You do NOT have the right to force others to act as if you are anonymous after you communicate non-anonymously. This is not protected by anything, and is pretty stupid.
All these comments about privacy. My understanding of our basic rights is that we have them as long as they don't infringe upon the rights of others. All of you are blindly trying to say we all have the right to P2P. While true, we do not have the right to hand out our music or games to others for free. It is one thing to burn a friend a cd of some songs, its entirely different to burn 1000 discs and hand them out blindly. You would be infringing upon someone's right to make a living. (yes even the ev
"While true, we do not have the right to hand out our music or games to others for free."
Oh yes you do. The number given away is irrelevant. When you buy something it is yours, period, to do with what you like and that includes giving it away. It's called the right of ownership and it's a very basic right in this country. Never mind the number of wars fought over that right. Stop beating around the bush, this is what it's really about. Remember that original copyright law states giving a limited monopoly to
The essential point of piracy is the destruction of revenue from digital goods. If someone can sell it, then it can be redistributed for free making the original seller give up on selling it. You can't compete with free.
This has already happened in China with music - officially there is no more music sold in China. It is very soon to happen in the US. Sure iTunes sells millions of songs a year - but they have maybe 2% of the overall download marketplace with the rest being free and usually pirated. iTu
The monopoly is not longer limited
That is a bald-faced lie. It is, in fact, limited by law to "70 years after the death of the author. If the work was a work for hire (e.g., those created by a corporation) then copyright persists for 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication". That is in no way unlimited.
I would think this is more of a 4th amendment thing.
I've got a bad feeling about this.

Parents anger as school cancels nativity
A school in Grimsby has been branded a "scrooge academy" by parents who are angry that there will be no nativity performance this year. It decided not to put on the Christmas play because teachers wanted to focus on improving poor standards of Maths and English.
But some parents say the school is punishing the children. Michael Billington reports.

I have an html table with expandable/collapsible rows, made in jquery and javascript:
Rows are sorted by default, on collapsed state, taking into account their value in the "Length" column, so, the first row is (6ft 0.5"), because that is the one with the higher lenght value.
What I want is that, simultaneously while clicking to expand the hidden rows, these become resorted, but now taking into account the row values for the column "Diameter", (numerically in ascending or descending order, or alphabetically, or whatever...).
I have seen some examples of resorting tables, but all of them work with some client command, like clicking on buttons or on table headers. I just want it to actionate automatically while expanding some hidden row. ¿Any tip or clue?

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and The Dead Deads
What could be better than a HORROR DOUBLE HEADER? At 7:00, for the menial price of $5.00, we have a Rochester original horror film - not by some guy out in the city, but by one of our own, Little employee and film maker extraordinaire Eric Maira! He said that having this film screen at The Little is "unimaginable," so let's come out and support him, and local filmmaking as a whole!
Then, at 9:30, there is the grandpappy of American horror, the 1974 version of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. And no, Lead Projectionist Roy is not just popping in a Blu Ray, kicking back and having a McDouble. This is a bona fide, original 35mm print, baby! Tickets are $8.00.
Fright Rags is gonna be here, selling some of their finest designs (like the film poster design above!) so you should make this a priority - come on out!
Featuring: The Dead Deads
