Purdue Comparative Oncology Program (PCOP)
Our work is aimed at improving the outlook for pet animals and people with cancer. Certain types of cancer are very similar between dogs and humans. Progress made in dogs with these cancers can lead to advances in humans, as well as being very helpful to the dogs.

Cancer Research to Benefit Pet Animals and People
Research Mission Cancer is a major cause of death in older dogs and humans. The goal of the PCOP is to change this.
Urinary Bladder Cancer Research Urinary bladder cancer has been a focus of research efforts in the PCOP for many years. The outlook for dogs with this cancer has improved substantially, and successful work in dogs is being translated into humans.
Canine Brain Tumors Brain tumors are another emphasis of the PCOP's research, and efforts are focused on both MRI detection of brain tumors and improving the surgical and medical therapies that are available.
Canine Lymphomas Canine lymphomas are a research focus area for the PCOP. We are actively seeking new and better ways to diagnose and treat these very common canine cancers.
Comparative Oncology Trials Consortium (COTC) In the COTC, veterinary oncologists, including those in the PCOP, are working together for rapid and successful clinical studies in pet animals with cancer.
Radiation Therapy Radiation therapy plays a beneficial role in the treatment of many types of solid tumors, and is a treatment option for many cancer patients.
How can you help in our fight against cancer?
Enter your pet with cancer in a clinical trial. Although we are making considerable progress in the fight against cancer, we still have a long way to go. Often, the best new information about cancer comes from animals participating in a clinical trial. We will announce clinical trials on this website. If you do not live in our region of the country, you may also check with the Veterinary Cancer Society to learn about trials in your area.
Make a donation. Our program depends heavily on grant support and private donations. If you wish to make a donation to support our continuing investigations of canine and feline cancer, please contact the Office of Advancement at 765-494-6304 or donate directly to Bladder Cancer Research for Canines here.
Spread the word about pet animal cancer. Many pet owners do not realize that pet dogs and cats develop cancer. Many also do not know that cancer in pet dogs and cats is often treatable. Help increase the awareness about pet animal cancer. Encourage others to visit our website and other websites to learn about this challenge and join our efforts to make progress against this devastating disease.

Nothing particularly interesting other than the fact that I haven't made a journal entry here in about 3 weeks or so. Fixed a small bug in fdesc. Still don't like the sentence-break rules for mdoc manual pages. That's about it. Carry on.
Nothing particularly interesting other than the fact that I haven't made a journal entry here in about 3 weeks or so. Fixed a small bug in fdesc. Still don't like the sentence-break rules for mdoc manual pages. That's about it. Carry on.
At long last, I've committed my changes to the fdesc file system. Not much else to say about it.
Yesterday I finished my implementation of basename(3) and dirname(3) for FreeBSD, compatible with XPG 4.2. They match 1:1 with test results all the specified behavior with HP-UX 10.20's implementation. The code is being reviewed now and hopefully it can go in at some point this week.
I've committed the first step to adapting the new fdesc code and eventually making it the replacement for our existing static /dev/fd nodes. This commit involved modifying our MAKEDEV script to create /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr as symbolic links to fd/[0-2] (they used to be simply duplicate nodes).
Haven't posted much of a diary for a couple weeks now.
My old 15" ProView monitor finally died on me after a couple hours of odd spasms it had, so until I can get a new one, I'm using my older 14" MTR monitor that has a bad VGA connector (just touch it and the whole screen tints your choice of cyan, yellow or magenta).
I've made a couple small updates to my fdesc patch, which is finally getting reviewed so I hope to actually commit it soon.
I've finally updated my fdesc patches to include proper renumbering and `.' and `..' directory entries. I've also put up documentation on what I've done so far with it, which is available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~chris/fdesc/--the patch is, of course, still available from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~chris/fdesc.patch.
I've just completed a small modification to the patch for fdesc that inlined the fdesc_attr() function into the fdesc_getattr() function since that's now the only use. The main benefit of this is that originally the code that grabbed attributes for stat(2) was in there, and it was not passed the vnode passed originally to fdesc_getattr().
Now open sockets and pipes are properly given inode numbers based on the number assigned to them by fdesc_lookup, which is unique for each file descriptor (it is FD_DESC+fileno). The patch is looking pretty good and I believe I've addressed all of the issues I can remember right now.
The patch is available here and will be until it is committed.
I've changed the design of fdesc to be mounted on /dev/fd instead of being a union mount on /dev. Since we already have the nodes that fdesc duplicates (std{in,out,err} and tty), there's no reason to bloat and complicate the code by reproducing them. The code itself looks clean, but there's still the issue of making a unique inode number for each file. This puts the code in a generally much more readable state as well.
Since I have not really made any journal entries, I believe I should go ahead and describe what my current project is. At this point, I am working on repairing FreeBSD's fdesc file system.
What is fdesc? Fdesc is a file system which basically gives you information in file system form about what files (i.e. sockets, pipes, etc.) you have open. Since devfs likely won't be available for a while, I decided I'd make this something to work on. Currently the FS data such as the date, owner and permissions in fdesc ``as-is'' is set inaccurately (or to zero).
Currently, FreeBSD uses a directory, /dev/fd,
which is basically full of a bunch of device nodes that
really tell you absolutely nothing about your open
files. However, with what magic I'm working with at this
$ ls -l /dev/fd 3>/dev/tcp/10.0.0.2/21 | tee /dev/null total 0 crw------- 1 chris tty 5, 3 Mar 29 06:14 0 prw-rw-rw- 1 chris chris 0 Mar 29 06:14 1 crw------- 1 chris tty 5, 3 Mar 29 06:14 2 srw-rw-rw- 1 chris chris 0 Mar 29 06:14 3 dr--r--r-- 2 root wheel 512 Mar 27 06:03 4 dr--r--r-- 2 root wheel 512 Mar 27 06:03 5
Note: The /dev/tcp/addr/port-no is a feature of the Korn shell and is in no way related to my fdesc work (other than being an awfully convenient way to make a socket in the shell).
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Even though this is the seventh day of every week (counting from Sunday), and there are over 50 such days each year, Shabbat is a holy day - and even one of the most important holy days in Judaism. In fact, apart from the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur,) Shabbat is the holiest day for Jews, and is the only one mentioned in the Ten Commandments. The observance of Shabbat has always been central to the Jewish people's experience and existence, at least until recent generations. A well-known saying states that more than the Jewish people have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jewish people.
According to ancient Jewish tradition, Shabbat has a clear connection to the creation of the world: on the seventh day God rested ("Shabbat," in Hebrew) from the work of creation, so this is a holy day for men, and they, too, are to rest from productive work.
The idea of Shabbat - one day sanctified for rest after six days of toil - is one of the important contributions of Judaism to world culture. It is also the basis for the concept of the week as a cyclical unit of time. The Jewish Shabbat served as a model for the setting of the holy day for Christians (Sunday) and for Muslims (Friday).
In the Jewish calendar, the days are counted from the sunset of one day until sunset the following day. Shabbat therefore begins on Friday evening, called Erev Shabbat, and ends on Saturday evening, called Motsa'ei Shabbat. The exact times of the beginning and end of Shabbat are determined in advance and change from week to week and from place to place.
The customs associated with Shabbat are many and varied. First and foremost, it is a day of rest, on which all productive work is forbidden. According to Jewish law, any activity connected with fire is forbidden, and religious Jews do not turn electricity on or off on Shabbat and do not travel. Many other Jews, who define themselves as traditional (and who are moderately religious), also partially avoid traveling, using electricity or performing other types of productive work. Many of them do not answer the telephone on Shabbat.
For religious Jews, Shabbat is a day filled with prayer, and they spend many hours in the synagogue. Part of the Shabbat prayer service in the synagogue is the reading of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy). Throughout the year, a portion of the Torah is read each week. Incidentally, the division of the Torah into weekly portions is the original ancient division; the division into chapters came later. Over the course of an entire year, Shabbat after Shabbat, the entire Torah is read. The completion of the reading of the Torah is on a day that may not necessarily be Shabbat: the eighth day of the Festival of Sukot (called Shmini Atseret), is also the Festival of Rejoicing in the Torah (Simkhat Torah). That day also marks the start of the reading of the Torah from the beginning again.
All public offices in Israel are closed on Shabbat, as are most private businesses. Public transportation (trains and buses in most cities) do not operate, and in many places it is not easy to find an open restaurant. On the other hand, radio and TV broadcasts operate as usual.
In areas where most of the population is secular, such as Tel Aviv and most of its surrounding towns, Shabbat is expressed mainly in minimal business activity and transportation. Many secular families leave the cities on Shabbat, for relaxation and recreation in natural surroundings. In religious neighborhoods, on the other hand (including large sections of Jerusalem), the religious character of Shabbat as a holy day is observed to the fullest. Many streets are closed to traffic and alternative bypass routes must be found to travel from one place to another.

For a short report on the diversity of views among Iranian Shi'i religious scholars ('ulama) see HERE.
A good friend of mine who is fluent in Persian (Farsi, specifically) was kind enough to translate the letter/statement (in Persian) issued by Iranian Grand Ayatullah Nasir Makarem Shirazi on the election dispute and related events into English. Although he wishes to remain anonymous, I am nonetheless very grateful that he took the time to do this, particularly as he is fresh from a lengthy trip overseas, and translated, of his own volition, despite being jet-lagged.
For more on Shirazi, see HERE.
Shirazi clearly has chosen his words carefully, and it is necessary to read the statement with care. As with any translation, it cannot hope to capture the "full" meaning of the original language. Many Iranian 'ulama, such as the mid-ranking scholars (Hujjat al-Islam) Mohsen Kadivar, Hasan Yusuf Eshkevari, and Mohsen Sa'idzadeh, as well as Grand Ayatullah Hossein 'Ali Montazeri and the late Grand Ayatullah al-Sayyid Muhammad Kazim Shari'atmadari (1905-1986), have suffered retaliation, house arrest, and even imprisonment for expressing views openly critical of the existing political system and its senior leaders. Shari'atmadari was even stripped of his scholarly rank, a move that has no basis in Twelver Shi'i history, for opposing some policies in the early years of the Islamic Republic. He died under house arrest. Montazeri, once successor to the first jurisconsult (faqih, in wilayat al-faqih in Arabic, or in Persian, Vilayet-e faqih, or "guardianship of the jurisconsult/jurist'...a "faqih" is, generally speaking, a religious jurist), Grand Ayatullah al-Sayyid Ruhollah Khumayni, was removed in 1989 as successor after he questioned the direction that the revolutionary movement had taken, including privately criticizing decisions of his old friend and teacher, Khumayni. Since then, he has routinely been placed under house arrest, and has been harrassed by supporters of the current faqih or "supreme leader of the republic" (Rahbar-e Jumhur), al-Sayyid 'Ali Khamenei, who was "given" the title of Ayatullah, and then Grand Ayatullah, upon becoming the new Rahbar, despite the fact that he does not possess the requisite education. As one former professor and mentor put it bluntly once, "Outside of revolutionary Iran, he [Khamenei] wouldn't be considered even an Ayatullah." The central theme of Shirazi's letter/statement is that peaceful means and dialogue should be used to solve the country's current dispute.
The Persian text reads:
از سوی دفتر معظم له منتشر شد :
پيام حضرت آية اللَّه العظمى مكارم شيرازى (مدّ ظلّه العالی) به تمام هموطنان عزيز
بسم اللَّه الرحمن الرحيم
درود بر ملّت بيدار و هشيار ما كه با حضور پرشور و كمنظير خود در انتخابات، حماسهاى به يادماندنى آفريدند و جهانيان را در شگفتى فرو بردند.
درود بر ملّت بيدار و هشيار ما كه با حضور پرشور و كمنظير خود در انتخابات، حماسهاى به يادماندنى آفريدند و جهانيان را در شگفتى فرو بردند.
اينجانب به فرد فرد شما عزيزان كه در داخل و خارج با شركت خود در انتخابات روح تازهاى در كالبد انقلاب دميديد و نشان داديد همگى به كشورتان و به نظام جمهورى اسلامى وفاداريد تبريك مىگويم و سعادت و سربلندى شما را از درگاه خداوند متعال مسئلت دارم.
انتظار مىرود شوراى محترم نگهبان همانگونه كه وظيفه قانونى آنها ايجاب مىكند و رهبر معظم انقلاب بر آن تأكيد نهادند با دقّت و شجاعت و بىنظرى كامل به شكايات كانديداهاى محترم رسيدگى كرده، پاسخ قانعكنندهاى به مردم بدهند.
The English translation reads:
Message of Grand Ayatullah Makarem Shirazi to all dear compatriots:
In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Praise be unto a conscious and alert nation who with their exhilarating and little-before-seen presence in the elections, created a memorable coalition and astounded the entire world.
I congratulate each and everyone one of you dear friends, both from within the country and from without, who participated in the elections and breathed new life into the body of the Revolution, and showed that all of you are loyal to your country and to the Islamic Republic. I ask for your happiness and your respect from all-Mighty God.
I hope the precious leaf of this victory does not get burned in differences. All of us should attempt, by keeping our calm and through lawful means, to end all disputes and to not forget that in widespread disputes no one prevails and the people, the country, and the state all suffer (together).
We should not forget that the Holy Qur'an places (these sorts of) disputes at the same level as storms of fire and tumultuous earthquakes, and in other instances (in the Qur'an), at the level of Shirk [worship of beings other than God] and Kufr [unbelief].
It is expected that the respected Guardian Council, according to its legal responsibility and the insistence of the glorious Leader of the Revolution, with precision, courage, and in an entirely unprecedented manner should address the candidates' concerns, and should give an acceptable response to the people.
All of our dear people are certain that blind and opportunistic hypocrites are active at times of chaotic dissidence, and by destroying and burning the property of the people, deface the friendly, peaceful, and pure-hearted in front of the world. Try to distance yourselves from [these hypocrites].
Dear brothers and sisters! Foreign news agencies have said that the latest unfortunate incidents in our country are the most important news all over the world. This means that our friends, who are plentiful within this region and indeed all over the world, are concerned; and our enemies, who are not small in number, are waiting for an opportunity to inflict their own injuries (upon us). What do you think our responsibility is in this situation?
Dear respected voters! Those who accept dissidence from whichever group they are make the path easier for our enemies.
Be sure that if, God forbid, our country and our revolution sees any harm, the entire region will see harm and will be forced into an upheaval. This makes our responsibility that much more important.
Dear friends! We have given hundreds of thousands of our people, (who were) martyred and injured for the creation of this revolution. Be certain that today their souls and the soul of our deceased blessed imam, the founder of the Islamic Republic, are unhappy. God forbid that day come when, because our feelings overcame our reason, the value of all that blood is put in danger.
Respected voters, especially the dear youth! I respect all of you. Come, and through discussion, resolve these differences. Everyone should respect everyone else, do not use insulting words against each other, and revive Muslim unity.
The wise members of the nation, in these instances have a great responsibility: they must, through keeping calm and peaceful, invite one another to discussions, and hand in hand once again create a government by using all the managerial resources of the different parties who are loyal to the revolution–so that we may create a better and prouder Iran, change antagonisms to friendliness, disappoint our enemies and make hopeful our friends. If God so wills.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS230891
This part is electrically designed for securing the door of the microwave while it's in use.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
I have a GE Advantium/micorwave oven. It is the model that has the hinges on the side, NOT the bottom. First, removing the door is necessary. The grill has to be removed first, then the door lifts right out. Next the plastic backing on the door has to be very carfully taken off to expose where the new latch has to be placed. Use a flat screw driver or putty knife to go around the permiter releasing the internal, unseen, plastic catches that hold it on. This should be done carefully, to avoid breaking the catches that you can't see. After the plastic is mostly removed putting in the spring is not too difficult, but a second set of hands is almost manditory.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Easy as pie!1. Remove the 2 outer screws holding the top vent in place and remove the vent (it helps to have the door open)2. Lift the door up, pull the top of the door away from the hinge and then list it up a little more to clear the bottom hinge. 3. Lay the door on the counter and with a putty knife, work your way around the perimeter of the door between the door and the inside bezel. The bezel is held in place with little tabs spaced evenly around the perimeter. 4. Once the bezel is off, the catch assembly is accessible. List it up against the spring pressure, and push it towards the outside of the door to release it from the frame. 5. Reverse procedure to install.
Actually, the procedure is very straight forward. Take off top facia vent, (this will give you better door revoval clearance. Two scews on top) Open door 90 Degrees and lift door straight up and off the stems.The removal of the plastic shield on inside of door is easy, use caution not to break plastic tangs. The steel insert is a little tricky . There are small phillip head screws,(6) that need to come out after you again carefully remove the steel frame. There are a couple of ways to remove. I used wooden paint paddles to make opening large enough to release the plastic clips. Also once the clips are starting to spread, break off a piece of paddle to keep a small distance open as you go down line.The plastic latch pawl is very easy. Watch the position of spring attachment. Have fun, Use Diagram to orient your progress. Don't be dissappointed if you break a few plastic tangs. GE micro handles are notorious to break off.
the door lifts off two pins after you remove the top piece. I broke the choke cover prying it off. It has little plastic things that hold the cover on. I popped it off from the outside. I think you may not break the clips if you go from the inside on the top an bottom. There are 3 on the top and 3 on the bottom about 4 inches in and in the center. The sides come off real easy. Even breaking the choke cover it was still almost $200 cheaper than the repair man.
first I had to remove a plastic cover on the back of the door to get to the thing your instructions said where to start. I figured out how to do that myself. Taking this cover off was difficult because I was afraid I was going to break it. After I got the cover off I noticed that most of the plastic clips that held it on were so crysalized ( I guess from the continued heat exposure) that the broke off. After removing a few screws I now was able to do what your instructions told me to how to remove this door plate. Again just some pastic clip held it in place. I could not unlatch these clips and remove this cover because you had to hold about 3 or 4 different clips apart at the same time and just myself couldn't do that by myself. So eventually I had to get some help with another person to hold all these clipps apart at the same time to get this plate off. After we got this off it was easy to change the door latch and put back together. So not knowing how to do this and your instructions not able to tell me everything I needed to know, I turned a 15-20 minute job into about 2 hours.
I removed the choke cover using a small screw driver. Be very careful when removing cover or you risk the possibility of breaking the ketch clips that hold it into place (which I did). After removing the choke cover the latch/spring assembly easily removed by sliding the latch up and then out.
First I removed the inside of the door using a putty knife and loosening the edges. I removed the old latch by- (1) lifting up and sliding both the top and the bottom out of the door (2) pulling out the bottom part and (3) using a small plastic fork to push the spring off of the top part (paying close attention to how it was already sitting in the microwave). It required a little twisting (not much) and it came out.I put the new spring on the new piece on the hook part. Then I put the new spring on the oven (where the old spring had been). I stretched the latch up and put the top slot back in and then with a little (very little) pressure I popped the bottom back in.
followed instructions posted on line.very good service .parts arrived in a speedy manner and were a perfect fit.
We opened the microwave door and essentially with a straight screwdriver worked to "pop" the plastic frame off of the door. We tried to be less aggressive in our efforts and this paid off since we didn't break anything! The area we needed to work on was now exposed to put the new latch in. It took 2 hands rather than 3 to get the new latch attached and then wah-lah, It was done! Microwave works perfectly now. Great alternative to buying a new microwave!
I removed the door, by taking off the grill at the top. Then, take the puddy knife and screw driver and pry the facing off of the door. Please remember to be very careful because this is a sensitive piece. This is the most difficult part. It is a piece of cake after this. This should take about 15 minutes from beginning to end.
We used the scresdriver(flat) to remove the frame inside the door, the remove several screws retaining the inner part of the door thenremoved the broken piece. We replaced the latch with the spring With a little patience, everything went fine. I broke one of the small tab, no big deal.thanks, you saved me a lot of money/.
just snaped it to gather
removed key pad then removed latch assembly and replaced it with new latch assembly.

Backpacking puts you out into the wilderness, away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.. away from cars and phones and immediate care.
It is important that we enter the wilderness area with a solid foundation of camping skills.
First Aid, Fire building, Orienteering and most important Common sense.
As we entering the winter months it is always worth revisiting common first aid issues.
So this weeks Backpack tip is about Common signs of Cold weather injuries.
Common cold weather injuries when backpacking are Hypothermia, Frost Bite, and Frost Nip.
Signs and symptoms include: Shivering, Slurred speech, Abnormally slow breathing, Cold, pale skin, Loss of coordination, Fatigue, lethargy or apathy, Confusion or memory loss.
Remove wet clothing. Replace wet things with a warm, dry covering.
Don't apply direct heat. Don't use hot water, a heating pad or a heating lamp to warm the victim. Instead, apply warm compresses to the neck, chest wall and groin. Don't attempt to warm the arms and legs. Heat applied to the arms and legs forces cold blood back toward the heart, lungs and brain, causing the core body temperature to drop. This can be fatal.
Offer warm drinks like hot chocolate or even just warm water, unless the person is vomiting.
Don't massage or rub the person. Handle people with hypothermia gently, because they're at risk of cardiac arrest. Monitor breathing, be prepared to administer CPR.
The key is prevention. Stay dry, change your socks often and when you do get wet, change right away.
When exposed to very cold temperatures, skin and underlying tissues may freeze, resulting in frostbite. The areas most likely to be affected by frostbite are your hands, feet, nose and ears.
You can identify frostbite by the hard, pale and cold quality of skin that has been exposed to the cold. As the area thaws, the flesh becomes red and painful.
If your fingers, ears or other areas suffer frostbite:
Get out of the cold.
Warm your hands by tucking them under your arms. If your nose, ears or face is frostbitten, warm the area by covering it with dry, gloved hands.
Don't rub the affected area. Never rub snow on frostbitten skin.
If there's any chance of refreezing, don't thaw out the affected areas. If they're already thawed out, wrap them up so they don't refreeze.
Get emergency medical help if numbness remains during warming. If you can't get help immediately, warm severely frostbitten hands or feet in warm — not hot — water. You can warm other frostbitten areas, such as your nose, cheeks or ears, by covering them with your warm hands or by applying warm cloths.
Your experiences camping in the winter can fun and enjoyable.. as long as you are watchful for cold weather injuries. Don't let the cold scare you off.
Just BE PREPARED!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Yeh the best job offer ever offered for a coach had nothign to do with it
in 2012 didn't LSU get the benefit of facing a few teams that lost their starting QB the week before?
Other than 2012 when Bama got a rematch I don't think any team was luckier than LSU 2007. 2 losse don't get you to the title game very often. 2 losses to unranked opponents.
you're one of those that I was referring to.
we had to win a conf champ game amidst swirling rumors that our coach was leaving the morning of the game. and we had to win with our backup QB. how fortunate for us...
you mean lucky right
go put your head in the sand....the offense is awesome no need for improvement
they don't blindly defend the head coach and that makes them negative?
I made a statement about many of the so called "fans" of the program.
the most successful HC in BCS/SEC football since 05
Blindly attacking the most successful HC in BCS/SEC football since 05 cause they don't like the O or a starter choice by the HC or some other segment of the team or particular game effort by the team on a continually basis makes them seem both college football mentally challenged and spoiled
I'm not anti miles. I love the success he's had at lsu. I just want an improved offense.
I like having good banter unfortunately it is impossible with some posters on here bc they perceive every comment to be a slight on miles. I don't think you have to like every aspect about him to like him.
this is just laughable. BAMA has all the stars aligned to win next year as well. If that happens will all the pumpers say that's look too, or it's not reasonable to want to win a NC every year?
Seriouly, how in the hell can 3 NC in 4 years be lucky? Why do so many think that we have to accept not being first?
quote:we have zero under Miles.
but they only had 1 undefeated season,
and they only have 2 SEC Championships
we only have 2.
AND they ave 3 crystal footballs in the last 4 years
hey, its harder to win the SEC
2011 vaunted BCS Champs Alabama lost at home to the SEC champs...its a fact!
That's a tad bit off

Pastor says 'Jews killed Jesus' sign isn't hateful. Gordon said he was partly motivated by Gibson's movie, but added he would not be seeing the film itself because he neither attends movies nor watches television.A really good article at the mirror however shows that I really don't have to see the movie to know that I am right about it. [via Gert]
So when the film is later shown, in Russia and Poland, say, or Egypt and Syria, there will be a ready-made propaganda vehicle for those who fancy a bit of torture and murder, with a heavy dose of Jew-baiting thrown in.
Gibson knows very well that this will happen, and he'll be raking it in from exactly those foreign rights to the film.
So my advice is this. Do not go.
Leave it to the sickoes who like this sort of thing, and don't fill the pockets of the sicko who made it.
Meanwhile it appears us Jews control Hollywood (not that this hasn't been said before)
Although Eschaton (from whom I got the above link) sums it up nicely.
You know, I really can't believe this NYT article. You don't have to be Jewish to think Gibson's slasher porn flick, which rehabilitates Pilate to slam the Jews, is goddamn offensive. You don't have to be Jewish to think, after reading and watching Mel Gibson's interviews, that he's a total lunatic that no one in their right mind would want to work with.

Desk ChairsA desk without a chair isn't particularly useful, but when it comes to your kid's study space, not just any chair will do. Teens get enough of boring, uncomfortable chairs all day at school. Bring some fun into their world with one of PBteen's cool desk chairs. From traditional swivel chairs on wheels to contemporary ball-style seating, our teen chairs are sturdy and comfortable while providing a more interesting look and feel than your average desk chair. You'll be able to choose from eye-catching options including faux fur, bold stripes and cheerful solids that will transform your kid's study area into something inviting and personal. With no pressure to stay professional and conform to a staid office culture, your kid's study chair can actually serve as a design focal point in the room.
Though our desk chairs are decorative on their own, you can help take your kid's study area to the next level by adding some coordinating wall art to help tie the room together. But try not to get too jealous of how fun and comfortable your kid's study space is. You may not be able to enjoy the comforts of a faux-fur exercise ball chair at work, but that doesn't mean your kid has to suffer in a world of gray too. Adding some cheer to a teen's study space may make homework and other tasks, like filling out job or college applications, seem a bit more tolerable. Our chairs are so comfortable and appealing that studying might even become a favorite activity. Well, probably not. Our chairs are great, but they aren't magical.
From a bedroom to a dorm room, our computer chairs provide not only a place to sit for work but also a comfortable seat for entertaining. If your kid frequently has friends come over and hang out, our chair might just become everyone's favorite seat. Thanks to their unique design, these chairs are eye-catching and will make a conversation piece. But even though they're on-trend and interesting, they're built to last, giving you the quality you've come to expect from our brand. We use high-quality materials such as steel and cotton to craft our chairs, so they can be part of your kid's life for a long time. Combine one of these chairs with a cozy throw blanket for a thoughtful gift that will help keep the special kid in your life on task and comfortable.

I had no idea I could go this way to share what I know. Godbless.
Here I am, wanting to share what is inside on my mind about cooking. I am 22 years old and been cooking since I was 18 years old. I like to explore a wide range of ingredient and method and skills. What I was trying to look on is the traditional method of cooking and how they prepare dishes even though they do not have inadequate equipment but yet, having such a good meal. All this years I been expose to a luxurious cooking environment but still, my inner self bring me to the point where I could it is rubbish to treat food as if there's too much restriction on what to use or could not be use. For me, concept of cooking is about love, not about showing of, its about cooking entirely base on achieving what is best to an all day consume. I found Jamie is one of them, who take simplicity into something worth, something that deserve to be appreciates. The other thing is also about using fresh, I mean fresh is where you will still found pesticide on the vege that you grow because it is not a criminal to share with them what we eating. . I like cooking, as if my life were it, I like to explore others taste buds, what they have been eating since born, the food culture around them. It is best to know, what they prefer to eat, its like knowing someone to create a dish for someone. My culinary skills are mixed up, I read about middle east, who use spices, yogurt, mint, saffron, and then comes the asian, which influence the taste of strong pungent flavour from lemongrass, coriander, Chinese celery, ginger bud etc. yet I could say, the asian use more spices then the western country where wines are available to balance up the cooking base. There is a bunch of ingredient in the world that we can used to create a certain dish, so, appreciates them. appreciates even a small tiny little seeds, portion of spices and lots more. For me, the food ministry help to reduce the people that is consuming fast food more these days. I hope one day, I could work within the ministry to learn more and to give more and also work with Jamie, I am pretty sure lots of people does too. hahaha. till then, goodbye.

Re: I had no idea I could go this way to share what I know. Godbless.
Jonathann, what a beautiful post! Welcome to the forums.
I love the way you've expressed the loving nature of food. I think that the energy we put into our cooking goes directly into the people that eat it, including ourselves. I also think that when we tap into other cultures and learn about how they prepare food we are in some way, sharing that good energy with everyone else.
I was wondering, since you're learning so much about the different spices and techniques that different cultures use, have you tried a mash up of your own? I live in Texas so I've played around with Indian and Mexican together. Not too long ago I made Paneer and eggs and instead of using naan I used corn tortillas (fresh) to eat them with. The flavor combo was really good.

Re: I had no idea I could go this way to share what I know. Godbless.
Thank you for your reply and for the compliment.
I like mash things up but sometimes, it just happen, not by my intention but my imagination. I often found myself "blank" not knowing what is going to happen but that is what suppose to do, we learn something new yet we failed, it become a lesson for us to move forward (depends on whether we are the type to move on or give up). I may have cook a lot of food that is required no recipe, only what is available, I just put my focus and love towards what I do and whether it turn out it to be good or not, we could not know.
The reason I say this is because, did you ever ask yourself, "do people that comment my food are really saying it is good to make me feel good or to say it was horrible because you just prepare a hell of a food"?. Hahahaha, funny to think of it right? I prefer to mash things up and share it with those who are working with me rather than someone who does not know about food. Dont you think so? anyway, happy trying and always cook with love, nothing could go wrong if you put love into your food.

Jake makes a few decent points about the web of trust. I didn't grant him master status on an unfounded, light-hearted whim regardless of his rampant modesty, although I must admit Jake may currently qualify as a 'lapsed-master'. He got in there and did stuff. He was his own Jake. He was creative with the knowledge he possessed. Who among the early Web snobs could forget 'Matthew and Jake's Adventures'. It was one of the first web pages I saw that had *pictures*.
So Jake, Isn't it weird that I'm talking about you as if you aren't reading this? ;-)
Anyway, Since Jake insists, I'm downgrading him to 'dimwit'. Oops, wait... where did that one go? Sigh, you seal yourself in a cave for six months and the whole world changes :-)
I see the 'old boys network' article... I'm afraid to read it becuase I knwo I'll spend the whole night responding. Of *course* anything of note is run by an 'old boys network'. Every human endeavor of more than one person is a social affair involving social webs, and those that arrive first tend to be at the core of that web. Is that *really* a surprise to anyone? The only time that's destructive is when those at the core are primarily concerned with staying at the core or abusing the position.

They are range pick up.. They were in a LOT better shape than I expected when they arrived. Clearly Once fired. I ran a batch of 500 through the deprime, clean and tumble proceedure, and found 2 cases that had bearden type primers (Hard to remove).
I was pleased with the quick shipment from them,, But,, reloading 1000 rounds of pistol ammo through a single stage press is a LOT of work,, and takes up a LOT of time.
Many Factory 9mm rounds are priced currently at about .80 cents a piece,even if you get the bulk prices..
I beleive I can reload the 9mm, even purchasing all the components for right around .15 cents a round.
.02 forthe primer
.06 for the bullet
.06 for the case
the round I am hoping to be able to use, takes a measly 4.0 grains of powder . I buy powder in 8 lb jugs...
Small pistol primers are Very hard to find...
Mr Ray Little!!!
My order with You is still very much appreciated! I want a MIX of reloaded cast bullet ammo, and Factory ammo.

i hate myself :) (Joanna Arnow | Brooklyn, NY | 56 min.)
A lot of documentary filmmakers think they are interesting subjects, confidently turning the lens on themselves. Joanna Arnow challenges that paradigm. Seemingly insecure to the point of self-loathing, she perpetually puts herself in a position of pain and judgment before the camera. But Arnow also uses the camera as a tool to uncover truths about herself, and in her self-depiction challenges our notions about relationships.
The 20-something filmmaker here documents her first relationship through the reactions of those around her: her parents, who are blunt yet loving; her friends, disembodied voices on the phone, adamantly giving advice; the editor of her film, a pushy, nude Freud with a 'fro; and the film's co-antagonist, Arnow's boyfriend, a "performance artist" out to offend, drinking heavily and hovering just above derelict. Through her associates' viewpoints, she reveals a raw and honest portrait of twenty-something Brooklyn malaise and the pathos that fuels it.
Arnow's debut feature (her short film "Month One" screened at Rooftop in 2012) voices a self-depiction that is shockingly candid, compared to the banal over-sharing of most social media personal documentation, or to the carefully-crafted faux openness of celebrities. Intentionally eschewing a smooth narrative or glossy production, with Arnow's defiant spirit she artfully compiles her experiences into a journey down the winding paths she is forging within the rickety world around her.
Following in Rooftop's tradition of screening films about real lives, this gritty home movie portraiture exposes even the most unbecoming moments, times most of us want to forget. Arnow's depredations become so abject as to be comical, and as a viewer, you are made uncomfortable, but you're rooting for her. You wish for her sake that she would take control of the relationships in her life, but she's unable. i hate myself :) is a grotesque exercise in existential crisis, but made with a smile, asking us all to define just how much control we have in our own lives.

What is a browser?
Have a look at this video of a Google guy asking what is a browser in Times Square. People have basically no idea.
I don't know whether the interviews in this video can really be extrapolated, but my instict says there's something into it. When you are into technology you need to look ahead and construct the future, but a corner in your head has to keep you balanced and take into account the man in the street is very very far from your view. Just a reality check, your duty is to be ahead, as is the duty of any specialist in any field.
PS: I saw this video in a post of Seth Godin, which uses it to depict an unrelated point.

Been a Basecamp user for more than 10 years. Our company has embraced this product to manage many of our consulting projects. We manage a few 100 projects in this system at any one time and regularly archive projects as they close down. We've found it to be a great resource that provides all the basic tools need to manage a project, including calendars, file posts, message areas, and to do lists.The user interface is relatively intuitive, and takes minimal training for new staff. Our clients enjoy this as a central place to see all their vital project data, and a log of all the message exchanges and file versions that have been shared time. Most of our clients work for government agencies, and they have very limited inbox space via email accounts. Whereas, Basecamp allows for MUCH larger files (up to 2 GB, but big for us is a few 100 MB), so we can confidently post everything we need to on this site and trust that the client time can get access to it. We have chosen to stick with Basecamp Classic, although they have since released version 2 and 3. Those both look like great products. However, many of our public agency clients lag behind with older operating software and browsers, so we are still hanging on.The newer version has much nicer methods for adding people onto a project or message exchange. More flexible, and less need for admins to intervene.
Pros :
Cons :
Basecamp is a solid project management tool that enables team coordination, team to-dos, shared discussions, shared and organized files, and other features. Its visual presentation is reasonably slick and its interface quite intuitive. I used Basecamp for old projects, but did not stay with it as I found its features were not sufficiently helpful for my small team and Use Case. However, I could log onto Basecamp and use the tool without reading the help guide - the interface of Basecamp was self-explanatory. Basecamp has both free and paid tiers, as well as allowing Users to log in for a free trial.

The new Basecamp from 37signals is out, and I've been using it for about a month now. It's an amazing product and, pending some minor tweaksandadditions, poised to become the new standard for project management tools to adhere to. I've used the original Basecamp (now renamed to Basecamp Classic) for a long time and I always had mixed feelings about it. It did a lot of things well, but as a whole, it often felt like a drag; keeping Basecamp updated became a task of its own.More about Basecamp

Because they offered a free trial, and because EasyProjects.net seemed like such a fully featured, powerful tool, I was expecting to find that converting to a full account would be quite costly. It turns out that isn't necessarily true, especially if you're just looking for a single-user solution.More about Easy Projects

Memorial Day by Cindy Harris
Memorial Day finds many American's getting together for BBQ's and picnics; the weather is usually beautiful, with summer just around the corner. Mom and dad have the day off from work, and the kids enjoy the last holiday before summer break. How many of us take a moment to remember what the holiday is all about?
Originally called Decoration Day, the holiday started in 1865 as a day of remembrance for those in the Union army who gave their lives fighting in the Civil War. Changed to Memorial Day, and legally declared a national holiday in 1967, the holiday sets an official day where all Americans remember all the men and woman of the armed forces who were killed while in the line of duty.
The death toll from the Afghan and Iraq wars now total over 6,000—when will we be able to look back upon these wars as sad chapters in American history? Unfortunately we are in a situation where we continue pouring billions of dollars and sacrificing American soldiers for a cause that is hard to pinpoint.
Are we there to fight terrorism? Or are we there to nation build? If fighting terrorism is the true cause—we succeeded. Both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden are dead. To coin a Bush term, 'Mission accomplished', let's send our troops home. Nation building is a more likely motive for the wars.
According to Donald Trump, if he was president, we would take all the oil from Iraq as a spoil of war. Although alarming, you have to respect his tenacity. Bush, and now Obama, makes no clear motivation for the loss of American lives. Afghanistan and Iraq both have governments that are a corrupt farce. A faceless insurgency continues to wreak havoc, and shows no signs of letting up in either country. Why can't we leave?
Let us remember those thousands of brave souls who gave their lives while fighting wars that our leaders have deemed just.

Very well said, nation building is really at the core of why we're there. If we were to build Iraq as we so desired, we would have access to a major portion of the world's oil, something that Bush and Cheney were willing to acquire at the cost of American lives. So on this day of sorrow as we mourn the lost lives of these brave warriors, we also must keep in mind whether or not we are willing to stay silent as another year of a wasted war creates yet more lives lost.

What is a certified WIC Nutrition Assistant (WNA)? A WNA is a paraprofessional certified in California to perform all or some of the following tasks for WIC program participants: nutrition and health assessment, eligibility determination (certification), prescription of appropriate food packages and vouchers for participants, and individual and group education on a variety of general nutrition topics mostly related to nutrition in pregnancy, post-partum, infancy, and early childhood.
Within the California WIC Program, paraprofessional staff may range from professionals with degrees in fields other than nutrition, e.g. registered nurses to individuals who have little, if any, formal education in nutrition but have received some training by the State or local WIC agency. The required certification to become a WNA is competency-based and is standard statewide. Once certified, WNAs can work at any local WIC agency in California.
How do you become a certified WNA? A WNA must demonstrate mastery of the required tasks described above needed to certify and educate WIC program participants. A WNA may initially work in an entry level position such as phone receptionist, translator for participant counseling sessions, or as a clerk with program operation responsibilities, such as issuing food instruments. Mastery of the required tasks are demonstrated and assessed through observations, written quizzes, file audits (review of case records), and interviews. A WNA can receive the training necessary to become certified in many ways: group training (WIC provided), self paced methods (with oversight from the local WIC agency), the WIC Training Manual, videos and other materials, mentoring with a WIC staff person, workshops and other outside training events (often used to supplement other training.) Community college nutrition courses can provide an excellent knowledge base for the WNA candidate.
What is the difference between a certified WNA and a Registered Dietitian (RD)? The WNA provides routine and general nutrition counseling. The WIC RD provides more comprehensive and individualized nutrition services. WNAs are paraprofessional staff and work under the direction of professional and management staff. They often learn needed skills on the job; however they may also have college certificates or four year degrees. Registered Dietitians (RD) are professional staff that have completed at least a bachelor's degree in nutrition, have completed an American Dietetic Association (ADA) approved dietetic internship program, and passed a national registry exam administered by the ADA. RD's may also have a master's degree in nutrition, public health, or a related field. In California, WIC RD's work as managers, nutrition education specialists, and trainers.
What California Community College Certificate Programs are available (but not required) as training to become a certified WNA? Programs (two semesters) with Supervised Community Nutrition Field Experience: The City College of San Francisco (CCSF)- Nutrition Assistant Program (includes job placement services). For more information at CCSF, visit http://www.ccsf.edu/Departments/Health_PE/consumer_ed/index.html. Orange Coast Community College in Costa Mesa- Community Nutrition Assistant Program (with specialization options). City College of Sacramento - Nutrition Assistant Program. Programs without Field Experience: Consumnes River College in Sacramento- Community Nutrition Specialist Program (one semester-more emphasis on food service). Ohlone College in Fremont-Applied Nutrition (two semesters).

About Jeff Masters

By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:44 PM GMT on June 05, 2011
A large, wet, and disorganized tropical disturbance (Invest 94L) continues to spread heavy rain to the Central Caribbean near Jamaica. Rain has fallen continuously at Jamaica's Kingston Norman Manley Airport since midnight, with 1.89" having fallen from midnight to noon local time. Sustained winds of 24 mph also affected Kingston between 7am and 8am this morning. Satellite-estimated rainfall amounts of 1.4" per hour occurred in ocean regions 100 miles to the southeast of Kingston this morning, and heavy rains of up to 1/2" per hour are probably affecting portions of Jamaica early this afternoon, judging by the recent increase in heavy thunderstorm activity seen on visible satellite loops. This imagery also shows a slow increase in organization of 94L in recent hours, with spiral bands beginning to develop to the southeast of the center. There is a broad, poorly-defined circulation apparent that is not well enough defined to make 94L a tropical depression. Water vapor satellite loops show a region of dry air on the west side of 94L, and this dry air is interfering with the storm's organization. However, upper air balloon soundings from Kingston and the Cayman Islands taken at 8am EDT this morning show much moister air at mid levels of the atmosphere compared to Saturday (2% humidity at 500 mb on Saturday, compared to 49% this morning at Grand Cayman), and 94L appears to be gradually overcoming its dry air issues. Wind shear remains in the moderate range, 15 - 20 knots, and is predicted by the SHIPS model to remain below 20 knots through Tuesday morning. Water temperatures in the Central Caribbean are about 1°C above average, 28 - 28.5°C, which is 2°C above the threshold needed to support development of a tropical storm.
Figure 1. Rainfall rates of up to 1.4" per hour (pink colors) were estimated by the F-15 satellite for 94L at 6:02am EDT Jun 5, 2011.
Since 94L is so large and is battling dry air, it is taking its sweet time to develop, and today's mission by the Hurricane Hunters has been cancelled. A new mission is scheduled for Monday afternoon at 2pm EDT. This morning's 06Z model runs are pretty unimpressed with 94L, with most of them showing little or no development. At 2pm EDT on Sunday, NHC gave the disturbance a 40% of developing into a tropical depression by Tuesday. If 94L stays to the south, its chances of development are greater, since a band of very high wind shear of 30 - 50 knots lies over Cuba and the southern Bahama Islands. The disturbance is expected to meander slowly westward or northward over the next two days, with Jamaica and southeastern Cuba being the primary targets for very heavy rains of 4 - 8 inches through Tuesday. Haiti and Central Cuba can expect somewhat lesser rains of 3 - 6 inches. If 94L does develop into a tropical depression and moves northwards over Cuba by Wednesday, I don't see the storm attaining hurricane strength, due to the high wind shear. The primary threat from 94L will be very heavy rains, capable of causing life-threatening flash flooding.

Walker downplays possibility of gas tax hike, toll roads
Gov. wants to keep major projects on schedule
MADISON, Wis. - Gov. Scott Walker is downplaying the possibility of a gas tax increase or the use of toll roads to pay for transportation projects in Wisconsin.
Walker on Monday was asked about the state Department of Transportation's budget request that calls for delaying work on an expansion of Interstate 90 from Madison to the Illinois state line, Milwaukee's Zoo Interchange and numerous other projects around the state.
Walker said a better way needs to be found to pay for transportation projects other than toll roads, which he said he is "not excited or thrilled" with. Walker also reiterated his opposition to a gas tax increase.
Walker said he is inclined to keep the Interstate 39 and Zoo Interchange projects on schedule without delaying other projects.
Walker said putting tolls on I-90 is not a viable solution for budget issues right now. But the state needs more cash to pay for any expansion of the highway from the Illinois state line to Madison.
Truck driver Elmer Williams said he hopes tolls can be avoided on the stretch of interstate.
"I'd go on the back roads (if there were tolls), just like I do now in Illinois," Williams said. "There should be a better way of financing the expansion and cost of improving the highways."
State Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, said getting tolls approved would take some extra work and approval from the federal government.17557596
"They're an option that would probably require some kind of federal, probably congressional approval. There was a pilot program, but those slots have been filled as far as interstate upgrades on federal roads," Loudenbeck said.
Tolls take the financial burden off of Wisconsin a bit by cashing in on out-of-state drivers, just like Illinois does.
"There are a lot of people who are asking, 'Well, if they're charging us to drive on their roads, perhaps we should be charging them to ride on our roads,'" Loudenbeck said.
The state is also looking at the option of increasing the gas tax.
However the I-90 expansion project is funded, Loudenbeck said it needs to be done.
"If infrastructure is to be a priority, getting more stability in that fund is going to mean finding new sources of revenue," Loudenbeck said.
Loudenbeck said increasing license plate fees is also up for consideration.
The state has a commission studying all of the ways to fund the I-39-90 expansion. That group's recommendations should be out in January, with actual construction set for 2015.
Walker will unveil his plan for transportation spending as part of his state budget introduced to the Legislature in February.

That's the question a 30-something woman asked me several times last night at Target while shopping for her kids.
She wanted all the main characters to give to her son and daughter, and struck up the conversation while looking for Luke, Leia, and Han. She already had Vader, R2, 3PO, and Chewie in her cart, having taken figures from both TVC and Saga Legends. I was glad to be able to help her find the last Luke Bespin and Leia Hoth in the house, as well as both the new TVC Han Hoth and the Saga Legends Han Hoth which led to a little confusion and discussion about why there were 2 of him on pegs at the same time.
She said she didn't care at all about "the new guys" from the prequel, adding that she didn't even know who they were really after seeing the films. That put a smirk on my face.
One of her issues while combing pegs was with a lack of Lukes available, and I was forced to agree since they had recently stocked and already there were no more Luke Snowspeeder Pilots, and just 1 deep-pegged Bespin Lukes. I have to say, considering the line right now is about ESB and its main hero is Luke Skywalker, the lack of Luke figures on peg is a missed opportunity. She clearly understood how Saga Legends was there to support TVC, so that line is doing its job in the larger reach, but it's a line without the main hero.
She also asked who the Dak figure was, when I told her she scoffed and said she didn't want that guy - we both chuckled.
Bottom line though was that she was one of the collector community who Hasbro was targeting, she had come back to the fold after a while - not sure how long, her question about why it had been so long since they came back could have meant since the '80s or could have meant this year, I wasn't entirely sure. But she was recalling the figures from her childhood when she was buying for her kids last night, so The Vintage Collection had clearly worked on her. But will it take advantage of that momentum once the prequels get added into the mix, and will Saga Legends help support it better than it has been lately? If this is a classic-collector grab, perhaps both lines need to work in concert better - there's still no Stormtrooper on pegs, and Luke should be everywhere again.

Make time for feeding times: Meal time is the best time to meet some bat rays and sea lions that you can even feed by hand at Pacific Point and Manta—but only at designated times throughout the day. Stop by in the morning to check the day's schedule, then give yourself some extra time to get a great spot right at the water's edge.
Meet an animal trainer in person: It's hard to ask animal trainers about their job when they're focused on getting our killer whales ready for a show. But here's something most guests don't know. Our Dine With Shamu programs are the only time guests get back stage access to our killer whale habitat, where whales and their trainers share an inside look at their remarkable bond and what makes it possible. Reservations are required as seating is limited.
See what goes on behind the scenes: Tours like our Penguins Up-Close aren't listed on the park map, so they're easy to miss out on once you're here. An insider's tip? Book online ahead of time, or stop by the Reservation Center just inside the front gate.
Bring a disposable waterproof camera: There's wet, and there's Shamu wet. If you're in the Soak Zone at Shamu stadium, you'll have a lot more fun watching kids' reactions if you don't have to watch out for an expensive camera. A little tip for parents? Pack a poncho—or pick one up at the gift shop. It's a great way to keep yourself and a towel or two dry, and still get in on the fun.
Sesame Street Bay of Play: Watch your kids play at Sesame Streets Bay of Play. The three new rides require children under 48 inches to be accompanied by a Supervising Companion (a Supervising Companion is a person over 14 years of age). Hand held infants may not ride these rides. Some of the Play Area elements have no height restrictions, but the ones that do vary according to the individual characteristics of that element.
Catch the show before the show: Take your seat for the Sea Lions Live show at least 30 minutes ahead of time. Late-comers miss out on their zany pre-show antics.
Beat the crowd: Plan to have lunch during show performances and you'll get ahead of the crowd.
Don't skip breakfast: Start your day with a bite to eat from the Seaside Coffee and Bakery, located near the front entrance. Fresh baked goods, including cinnamon rolls, bagels, muffins, and seasonal fresh fruit, paired with an espresso or latte brewed with Starbucks coffee will get your day started right.
Choose your seats wisely: You will get drenched if you sit in the front seat of Journey to Atlantis—and we mean drenched.
Beat the heat: Temperatures can get quite high—especially in the middle of the day. Plan to take in these "cool places" when the thermometer rises: Wild Arctic, Penguin Encounter, Turtle Reef, Shark Encounter or any one of three Aquariums.
Remember the kid in you: Don't be surprised if you find yourself choked up in the presence of Shamu. Or your arms covered with goose bumps in 85° weather as your hand touches a dolphin. There's an incredible connection between humans and animals, one we celebrate here every day. Take a few deep breaths and drink in the feeling that moves through you, and you'll carry that feeling home.

Dir. Lucio Fulci
Carol Hammond (Florinda Bolkan) has been having bizarre and erotic dreams about her alluring neighbour Julia, in which they passionately make love and then Carol violently stabs her to death. Julia is then actually found stabbed to death. Did Carol kill her and then block out the memory? Or is she having psychic visions of someone else's crime? She tries to solve the mystery whilst evading attempts on her own life by a sinister stalker, seemingly intent on keeping her in the dark…
After Dario Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage proved extremely popular with its heady amalgamation of grindhouse exploitation and art-house chic, European cinemas were soon saturated with provocatively titled gialli featuring animal imagery in the titles. One of the more provocative and visually arresting of these films was director Lucio Fulci's Lizard in a Woman's Skin. The opening barrage of eerily sensual imagery produces a heady, hypnotic atmosphere rife with sexual deviancy and decadence. Fulci showcases his obvious talent for creating astounding imagery and arresting shots in these sequences – the various dream scenes really tap into something highly unnerving and the hallucinatory and trippy visuals that the film opens with perfectly capture the tone and mood. As well as being rather exploitative! Carol runs through a crowded corridor full of naked copulating couples before falling through darkness and making love to Julia on a plush bed that seems to float in the midst of the darkness. The savage attack on Julia is shocking and brutally blunt, and as we start to merge back with reality, the scene is lit with an increasingly bright white light that is eventually revealed to be the flash on the coroner's camera as detectives gather at the murder scene.
Fulci does what he can to keep viewers guessing about the killer's identity and Carol's sanity, and the narrative becomes increasingly twisted and convoluted. We are introduced to all manner of strange and eccentric characters – the detective on the case, Carol's promiscuous husband (Jean Sorel – Short Night of Glass Dolls), her spunky step-daughter and a couple of LSD dropping hippies who may or may not hold the key to solving the crime. However, because there is no one character that remains the focal point, and none of them are particularly sympathetic anyway, it is hard to care about them. The film is strangely detached. Even our heroine Carol is an unreliable narrator as her innocence is called into question a number of times. This is really a film about atmosphere and intrigue, and Fulci succeeds admirably in creating a creepy and sexually charged malaise that swirls throughout proceedings.
Aside from the opening dream scene, the film's other standout moment occurs towards the end when Fulci obviously remembers he needs to give his film a thrilling conclusion after seemingly endless scenes of exposition, familial melodramatics and 'whacked out' hippies acting strangely. Carol is told by a mysterious caller that if she wants answers, she must meet them at an old church. This is where the film's already distinct lack of logic takes a further plunge into implausibility, creating a nightmarish and surprisingly taut chase scene. During this sequence, Carol is pursued through the impossibly labyrinthine building by someone in a motorcycle helmet and we follow her down into murky catacombs, through windowless and echoic chambers full of rabid bats, a lab full of still-alive vivisected dogs - complete with pulsating insides-on-the-outside - and a breathtaking chase along the rooftop. The tension produced in this scene is never replicated anywhere else in the film.
Apparently Fulci landed himself in hot water with animal rights authorities by including the deliberately shocking scene with vivisected dogs. The authorities were so convinced by the special effects they thought the animals were real. Typical of the winding and twisted narratives of gialli, it is just another one of those moments specifically designed to provoke a visceral reaction from the audience – its inclusion bears no relevance to anything else in the film. Elsewhere the gore Fulci would later become famed for is notably restrained, aside from another chilling dream scene in which Carol's family are all depicted sitting in a row in an attic, holding their own guts and starring white-eyed into space.
This film boasts a shimmering and hallucinogenic score by Ennio Morricone that perfectly enhances the sexually charged proceedings. Equal parts ominous and seductively chic; this is one of Morricone's most underrated and dazzling scores.
An interesting and visually stunning addition to the Italian gialli of the Seventies. Lizard in a Woman's Skin proved that when Fulci was on fine form, he could really deliver twisted and delirious movies – this is one of his best works.


text: When he was just a pup living in the trailer with us, Chief learned to grab the toilet paper roll and drag it all around ala the Charmin lab pup. By the time we moved into the house (he was 19 mos) he had learned better. But I do allow my dogs to drink out of the toilet downstairs. Seldom used, it is clean with no chemicals. About a week ago I noticed a small tear in the middle of the tp roll. Saturday when I walked past, I saw that the edge of the roll was frayed. What gives? Surely there would be a bigger mess if Chief had been playing with it? So I decided to spy on him. I hid in my office, just around the corner from the powder room. Ralph let him in the house, (he always heads straight to the porcelain fountain) and waited for the loud slurping to begin. As soon as it stopped I peeked around the edge, and Chief was vigorously wiping his mouth on the toilet paper! His canines would snag on each pass. How in the world did he come up with this one???

Well, I'd say that pretty well puts the print to the page in the obituary of field trials. Surely there is some way to make it more inviting, not by dumbing down but getting more out of less space? I don't begin to claim to know the answer, but I sure would like to keep playing. Bet there are others too.
