I will say that Vinette Carroll has a very distinctive and creepy voice, almost masculine. In addition to the voodoo lady, she plays (briefly) a stewardess on the airplane. A lot of voice actors do these throwaway parts in radio dramas, but, in this case, her voice stands out so much, I thought maybe at the first that the stewardess and the voodoo lady were the same. In any event, while not perhaps standing up to modern political correctness standards, this was quite an enjoyable action/adventure episode taking place on a presumably Caribbean island where the names are Hispanic but the language is French. Zombies, voodoo.
Vinette Carroll is also in the episode "Mother Love" (1/30/1974) playing the title character. It is an excellent story, and her voice is creepy and she's amazing.
I agree Vinette Carol's voice is haunting - what a performance! Great episode - not a honeymoon that I would like to take!
Zombies, with great characters as both protagonist and antagonist result in a quality episode.

I remember laying in bed with my old am radio with the earphone listening to this story with the covers pulled over my head, some scary stories back then.
Randy Myers
A Banana Republic dictator uses an army of zombies to take over a small island country. An American couple on their honeymoon stumble into his plot.
Ricky Blur
A foolish script and insipid dialogue make this one a real clunker.
Travis Kratz
A new husband and wife on their honeymoon encounter an old football friend who is also an heir apparent to the throne of Mauritia, a voo-doo infused country currently in political turmoil.
This show is one of my favorite programs, though it's been awhile since I listened to and I'll have to listen again. I say it's one of my favorites because I don't have a great memory yet this one stuck with me. My initial observations include great acting, good dramatic theme and excellent sound effects. The bickering between the husband and wife while trapped in a snowstorm was well done and the "b" story of a killer on the loose built the drama. From the onset, we knew that our characters were going to meet the killer and the drama created by the bloody kitchen added to the effect. I don't recall if the blood was ever explained. As for the third wheel, he took his life in his hands by letting these people think he was the killer and he probably deserved a malpractice suit.
Ross Antonel
What a great episode! I have to admit I really was surprised by the twist at the end. I am usually better at seeing things like that coming! For some reason I didn't pick up on the fact that there was no dead body in the kitchen despite all the blood and the ax. I must improve my listening skills! The bickering between the couple at the beginning of the story was a little too realistic for me! Also, the acting of the psychologist as the killer was very believable. I had a good laugh when said he liked Beethoven's 10th Symphony! Of course we know that there isn't a 10th symphony but that is what makes the psychologist so believable as the killer! I think he went a bit too far but then this story would not have had us on the edge of our seat if he hadn't. I'd also like to point out that we never do find out about the real killer... or perhaps we did? Could the psychologist have been the real killer afterall?
So, was the blood in the kitchen explained? I can't recall and I haven't gone back to listen yet. BTW, great suggestion.
The blood was from a bobcat that the professor surprised in the kitchen.
Ed Beringer
Great to see you! I don't have a pic of Larry Haines but I also noted the WABC station on my version of the program. I'm I crazy or is/was WABC an ABC affiliate? If so, did they really play CBS programs?

I have been listening to the shows in order and just so happened to reach this show when it was the show of the week - go figure. This is one of my favorites so far (out of the 41 I've heard) because it was one of the more believable and suspenseful episodes. The actors did a great job with their tones and conveying their fear and desperateness. Was the trigger on the gun really broke or was saying it was enough to make them give up on the idea of using the gun? I rate this one a 4.
David R.
I liked this show a lot, I listened to it the last time maybe two years ago so it was somewhat fresh. I think that the characters where well acted and the story was well written. Not wanting to ruin the ending yet wanting to comment on it from the perspective of "what the heck was that guy thinking he could have been killed" comes to mind. But then again we would not have a mystery if it was any different. Thats my sorted comments for now.
M. Monteros
Definitely one of my favorites. I have listened to it a lot of times, and never get tired of this one. The first time I heard it, it threw me bitg time, where these usually do not. And yes, the writing was great IMO between the husband/wife. I have seen relationships just like that, people taking verbal shots at each other no matter what the situation. The acting was pretty good. Sometimes I think the wife's voice/portrayal is a bit "cardboardish," But I only came to that conclusion after listening to it a bunch of times. Anyway, great pick!
D. Montrees
good suspense and twist ending. the acting was top notch and believible. hey, where's the spell check on this thing? anyway, i was surprised at the end but that quickly turned to indignation, ther i go again. i thought that doctor was in for some legal problems.
Nathan Panambers
The WABC recordings are from the 1989-1990 revival. They are an ABC station. They are usually higher quality recordings than normal. WOR was not a CBS Radio affiliate either. They just called it "Mystery Theater"
Arnold Ruff
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the same guy and here's an interesting fact:...according to his bio his birth name was "Larry Hecht". Wonder if he's related to Paul?
This show featured some very good dialogue from all three characters. The way people actually talk to one another. I especially enjoyed the more biting remarks on the part of Jake, a genuinely quirky villain. In fact, I kindof wish he had in fact turned out to be a deranged killer, so quirky that in the end he just lets them go because they have proven they have a reason to live. I also wonder about the family in the valley -- unless it was a bobcat that did them in too, then somebody better figure out who did and catch 'em quick! And straight from that era: "women's lib", and "whoever lives here, is really a BRAIN!" (*wince* at memories of teen angst). Another good show.
Adie B.
I was suprised to see a station use another "vendors" wares. Being from a small town, I assumed all stations that broadcast the CBSRMT were CBS affiliates! Dnagle, I also felt the the program could have been complete had the psychologist actually been the culprit. I like the twist but I think the horror plot was working fine.
T. Lancaster
I remember the episode fondly. Leon Janey does a great job acting out the psycho. However, I do remember thinking the premise that he is doing a psychological study farfetched. Still enjoyed it though........Until Next Time
K. Lipat
I didn't really like this episode. I was listening to it with 3 others I was trying to get to like CRMT. It didn't work too well. The dialogue with the wife being a "woman's lib" type didn't help. Attitudes have changed, in the most part, toward women since the mid-1970's. It was rough to hear the silly remarks toward the wife. And the way the husband was so whipped was tough to hear too. And, unlike usually, I figured out the twist after the first set of questions the psychologist threw at the couple about their life together. That made the twist at the end no twist for me. I wish I hadn't figured it out! Next time I will try to not figure out the ending!
Melanie Jane
While the "twist" ending was a bit to chew on, the ongoing terror and suspense was fantastic.
Now I'm going to read what everyone else had to say about this one....
I remember listening to this earlier this summer and was appauled at the behaviour of the psychologist, and how the couple just laughed it off. Geez... these days it'd be the basis for a HUGE lawsuit. I haven't listened to it since then but I do remember the 'rich' environment and having stronger than usual mental images no doubt due to the sound effects and descriptive dialogue. As far as the snow goes, I can imagine some pretty intense storms from having lived in the far north in remote fly-in reservations for 5 years and travelling throughout the far north for 3 more years after that in tiny planes. The coldest I have ever experienced with the wind chill factor was -86C, about -122F :xmas: (I think it was something like -46C with 70km/h winds... or -50F with 45mph for those of you still dealing with imperial units - threw off the imperialist monarchy but kept the units of measure... go figure) anyway - a fun episode, will make sure to pay attention to the sound effects when I listen to it again.
R. Allan
LOVED the plot and the supspense-filled ending...I SWEAR I thought I had it figured out, then I didn't, then I did again...wow! This was one of the episodes I listened to while driving the CD's to my dad's. And the cougar? That was insane! Great acting, wonderful dialogue, and perfect sound effects.
This one keeps you guessing. The script builds the tension positively wonderfully. The sound effects are top notch for radio. Janny gives one of his strongest performances, keeping us in suspense as we try to figure out if he's a good guy or bad. Lois Smith did just a few episodes, but she gave her all in this one.
This was the second time I listened to this show. The first time was right after listening to the god-awful "The Walking Corpse". What a nice surprise this episode was.
This was a ready-made story for the radio. It doesn't get much better than this!
Bobby C.
I listened to this episode on a warm evening, so about 11:00 I headed out back to the deck and popped in the CD. After the first five minutes I was jumping at every sound I heard. It brought back a flood of memories, of listening to CBSRMT, around the campfire during the many camping trips my family took.
I thought that George Lopes(sp?) did a very nice job of writing very realistic dialogue of a marriage in trouble. I wonder what was going on in his life at the time he wrote this .
Like when they met the killer for the first time they are both obviously terrified but the wife still makes a point of telling Jake that "We started back too late thanks to my husband." Even though she is very scared she doesn't miss the chance to stick it to her husband.
The blood in the kitchen really helped drive home the thought that Jake was the killer .
Lois Smith was outstanding. The only other CBSRMT credit I can find is for The Sign of the Beast, which had aired 2 weeks earlier. I think it's a shame that Himan did not sign her to more episodes. She has numerous screen and stage credits, including" Twister" (1996), in which she played Helen Hunt's aunt.
I must admit, I had figured out what was really going on near the end of the 2nd act. I think many years of reading thrillers and watching shows like Alfred Hitchcock and Twilight Zone has made it more difficult for me to be fooled by "surprise endings".
This is a fun program to listen to. My attention never wandered. I was never confused by what was happening nor did I get the (3) characters confused. These points are important to me as sometimes too many characters and I lose "who's who."
Well, it is somewhat not to be believed if you want to look at it seriously. I do not believe that a person would do what the professor did - not in real life. But hey, this is radio drama so the rules are out the window.
Since I am licensed to carry a concealed handgun, the professor would have had a major problem had he tried his trick on me, and without a gun, when it comes to the poker incident, he would have not had a chance to have awakened from that.
Whoa, I am taking this too seriously. That obviously means that this was a well acted program that got my attention.
That's what makes CBSRMT so good and this is an excellent example of a great program.
As for The Walking Corpse, it was suspenseful but you basically knew how it'd turn out. So it was more of an adventure episode, not so much mystery or horror. Well developed characters in this one. Vinette Carroll, after practically phoning in her cold-reading performance in "Mother Love," did fantastic in this one, showing real emotion and drawing me into her character. The ending involving her telling someone to "look at the ocean" was particularly poignant, and heart-rending.
I agree with many that Vinette Carroll's work on this episode was MUCH better than her "Mother Love" episode (where she didn't seem to convey much emotion at all). I thought this one was a fairy good episode. It does seem like some of the comments above are for a different episode though.
Yes,I didn't know the know the walking corpse and blizzard of terror was a two parter
I love it when Vinette Carroll says, "My Baybeeee! My Baybee!"

Danny Glover Overcomes Epilepsy Through Concentration
A humanitarian, producer, actor and political activist, Danny Glover is known for his roles in Lethal Weapon, The Color Purple and his ambitious fight against AIDS.
Born on July 22, 1946, Glover has lived his life in the spotlight since he started his acting career in his late 20s. With numerous awards and nominations, Danny Glover has also paved a legendary career outside the actor's studio–all done despite his health struggles in his younger years.
During his childhood and early adult life, Glover suffered from epilepsy. It wasn't until 1977, when he made the decision to have a breakthrough with this brain disorder.
Glover claims he had his first seizure at the age of 15, and could tell it was coming on because of an unbearable noise he would hear. This noise may be referred to as an aura, or warning sign.
"Eventually, I could recognize it happening. Then I could say, wherever I was, 'Something is happening to me. Please grab me. Please hold me. I'm about to have a seizure,'" Glover writes in a blog.
While doing a play at his San Francisco community theater, he sensed he was about to have a seizure. As he proceeded to the theater's basement he said to himself, "I will not have this seizure, I will not have this seizure."
"Each time I got a bit stronger,and the symptoms began to diminish to the point where I was ready to go on stage." Glover has not suffered an episode since he was 35.
In 2003, Glover was presented the Distinguished Achievement Award from the Epilepsy Foundation. This award celebrates Glover's efforts to increase awareness and acceptance for people who suffer from epilepsy, and his…

My thoughts are more succinct: asshat. Time for a trespass.
This is a discussion on Dangerous Gun Handling at the Gun Store within the Basic Gun Handling & Safety forums, part of the General Firearm Discussion category; howdy 'all, As of recently Ive been workin a part-time gig at a local gun-stop to supplement the income. Benefits are quite nice, I got ...
howdy 'all,
As of recently Ive been workin a part-time gig at a local gun-stop to supplement the income. Benefits are quite nice, I got a .308 700 SPS tactical on the way at a very nice price, Ill give you guys a range report once I got it scoped and put some rounds down range but Ill just get right to my story.
Last Saturday, Im roaming the store and helping customers when out of the corner of my eye, my co-worker waves me down to help a guy who came up to gun counter. What I see next is just about the most disgusting violation of gun handling Ive ever seen in all the years Ive been handling them. This guy pulls away his coat, un-holsters his G26, takes out the mag, and unchambers the LIVE round in the store, in full view of other customers, right after doing what looked to be some synchronized boy-band dance that entailed pointing the muzzle in my direction. Instinctively, I step into an aisle thinking it will be some kind of cover, but realizing the weapon in question is cleared, I come back out expressing my angry disapproval. The following is how the conversation proceeds between myself and "Mr. Idiot."
Me: "NOT COOL, NOT COOL AT ALL."
Mr. Idiot: (with a tone of voice as if Im some kind of sheep,) "Dude its alright, Ive done this before. Ive had alot more training than most people. I know what Im doing, all the guys at (name of other Minneapolis gun-shop,withheld.) know me and theyre fine with it."
I go into lawyer/drill sergeant mode here.
Me: "First of all, your not in (other store). Your in MY store, that has the exact same rules as (other store) and I can tell you right now, they would be just as p-o'd as I am right now. Your a grown man who knows much better than to unholster a loaded weapon in a public place. I dont care how much training youve had, I dont care if all of SEAL team 6 walks into this place, the rules apply to everyone. Even at (other store who allows employees to open carry), this little talk were having is the minimum of how they would be dealing with you right now. Understood? Whats your question?
-during my shpeal, Mr. Idiot is constantly trying to interrupt me saying "its cool".
His question was about his retention holster and how his weapon wiggles around. There was no problem with retention, and the trigger is never exposed during all this wiggling. The concept of what makes an acceptable holster is something that everyone who goes through a CC course is made familiar with and there should be no confusion. It took me better than 5 minutes to explain this to him. At this stage of the game, im not feeling the slightest bit polite or customer service orientated, especially after having a gun pointed at me, coz Im getting the feeling this guy just came here to argue and show off his gun. (Its a glock, big deal.) My big worry right now is what's going to happen once I hand his gun back to him and if he's going to exercise the same poor judgement that brought him into my store with a loaded gun in the first place.
I ask him: "Do you have any more shopping to do?"
Idiot: "Well, I was going to go try on a pair of shoes and...
Me: "I want you to do me a favor, do not load this gun in the store."
Idiot: "Excuse me?"
Me: "I will not repeat myself one last time, do not load this gun the store."
I may have been a bit condescending, but Im beyond taking chances with this guy. I was ready to pull the slide off and tell him he can collect it when as he walks out the door. Ive played a lot of poker in my time, dealt with a lot of liars and shady characters in my time and my Spidey-sense was tingling. Rightfully so, coz as I handed him his weapon, he just dropped his bag and walked off. Three-steps later, he spins on his heel and comes back in my direction, gun in hand, gets in my face and says,
"That was offensive, THAT was offensive, I know your corporate policy towards concealed carriers and this is not it."
He just walked out of the store and that was the end of it, my head was still racing a mile a second coz at a split second notice, Im pulling out the SOG blade if he makes the wrong move. He had the look in his eye that Ive seen a million times before that is indicative an unstable person who is about to do something stupid. Corporate policy be damned, say I just folded underpressure and let him have free reign and chambers up another round in the store. People are going to think 1. Holy! He's robbing the place, or 2. Holy ! He's cuttin loose on the place! For those who would think #2, at any given moment, there is a substantial number of our customers in our store who are also carrying. Put 2 and 2 together and great, I have a potential gun fight on my hands. Im really more angry at myself coz while all this is going on, I take a submissive stance of leaning against the counter and folding my hands, putting myself at a disadvantage should this go horribly wrong. In the end, this may have actaully been what difused the situation. All I know at this point, is that there was a line customers trying to shake my hand and reassure me I did the right thing. Still, this was a wake-up call for me that situations can go wrong real fast. As the rumor mill gets started, another co-worker comes up to me and tells me about how this same guy has been in the store before. Apparently my co-worker got a physical description of the guy and immediately recognized him. Im then told the story about how this guy comes into the store, doesnt buy anything, and just argues with all the customers about the virtues of Glock and how all else is sub-standard. Nothin against Glock owners, but this is very annoying. To top it off, this same guy came in about a year ago, and started talking about his wife's friends as if they were a bunch of Anti's because they kicked him out his wife's corporate Christmas party for showing off his gun. My guess is that alcohol was involved.
I stand by my actions.
And now for your thoughts, let me have it.
My thoughts are more succinct: asshat. Time for a trespass.
I don't know about Minnesota law, but if Mr. Idiot were to do that here in Texas, he could be arrested and likely loose his permit.
If he comes in again and draws, don't hesitate to just hit the "Panic Button".
You've already explained store policy to him, you feel he is unstable.... Get the law involved!
I'm certain the police will be VERY sympathetic towards your more than reasonable concerns.
As the saying goes "You can't fix stupid". While stores may be CC friendly, that does not go to the point of unholstering loaded weapons. Common sense says if you have a question or concerns with a holster, you take the gun in unloaded.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

You were surprisingly polite and tolerant. I would have asked him to leave immediately and called the police with a vehicle description & license plate for brandishing, assault 3rd, or anything else the officers could think of.
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
- Roy Batty
Gun stores in Ohio generally have signs on entrances prohibiting such practices. If I tried such a maneuver as a customer where I gun shop, I would likely have several employee handguns staring me in the face in short order. If your store does not have such a sign, it should. Language is usually as follows:
"All customer firearms must be checked and cleared at the service desk. While we welcome CHL holders, we require that such firearms remained holstered at all times while in the store."
Much nicer than I would have been. I think you did a great job with it, but he would not have been given the weapon back until he calmed down. A LOT. Or until there were police handy.
While I feel that withholding someone's weapon like that would be kinda borderline, I think it would be better than just handing it back over while he still has a loaded mag handy.
When I go into either of my LGS, the gun I'm shopping for is unloaded, and typically enters and exits the store in a case. The only time that doesn't happen is when I'm carrying it that day, so I just unload it and lock the slide/open the cylinder and show the person at the front desk that it's unloaded while holding it 'backwards (my hand over the barrel, fingers under/around trigger guard). But, that is a VERY rare thing for me to do. I usually 'carry' one, and take the one I'm shopping for in a case. -Also, because both stores I frequent typically have at least three people on staff OC/CCing at any given time, and I don't want to upset them in any way.
"Gun control should mean hitting your target every time."
Please try to remember- I have a very dry sense of humor. It usually sounds mean, but isn't meant to be.
Guys like that make CCers look bad and give shop owners reason to put up "No Loaded Guns" policy on their businesses. You did what you could to handle that jerk. If that was me, I have no problem correcting him or any other irresponsible gun handler on the spot as I have seen similar situations of poor gun safety in a showroom.
There has only been one time I un-holstered a loaded weapon at my local gun store, it was per the owners request and we were the only two in the store (small shop).
This guy was a douche bag and you kept your composure much better than I would have.
Mors est libertas
charge this jack-wagon with (thus causing his Macho-Man license to be revoked).
Of course, I'll reiterate my belief that this Mr. Idiot is suffering from a mental illness of some sort.
I think your actions in this case were measured. The guy is fool and a hazard. You'll be well rid of him as a customer if he never comes back.I stand by my actions.
And now for your thoughts, let me have it.I really dislike being called "dude" by idiots, especially those young enough to be my grandchildren.Mr. Idiot: (with a tone of voice as if Im some kind of sheep,) "Dude its alright, Ive done this before.
I think you did fine. Remember the old adage, "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet because they might want to kill you." I think that there is still a place for being professional and courteous, even when confronting a tool like this guy obviously was. This is armchair quarterbacking for sure (and you did fine under pressure, so this is no criticism) but maybe it would be wise to plan for this kind of thing in the shop. One person is the very polite, professional, level headed one. The other employees deploy without fanfare to appropriate positions, ready to escalate the response if said customer decides to get frisky.
Just a thought.

CALGARY — A Calgary teacher has been charged with sexual assault for allegedly having an inappropriate relationship with a 14-year-old male student.
Police say the woman, in her 40s, was arrested Tuesday.
She has been released on a promise to appear on charges of sexual interference with a child and sexual assault.
Officers began investigating after receiving information from a third party in early November.
The name of the accused and the school she taught at are not being released to protect the identity of the alleged victim and another key witness.
The woman is to appear in court Jan. 28.
Meanwhile, a 35-year-old male high school teacher from Airdrie, Alta., was arrested for a second time.
John Miller was charged last October with sexual interference and sexual assault after police started investigating reports he was having a relationship with a female student.
On Wednesday, Miller was arrested again and charged with attempting to contact the 17-year-old girl in violation of a court order.

President Clinton's Message on Earth Day: Tackling Climate Change is about Good Economics!
Last Wednesday, I was on a panel at Fortune's Brainstorm Green Conference called "The New Lean Green" with KKR and InterfaceRAISE. At a time when the world is consumed with the global economic crisis, everyone is asking whether green is sustainable; and the verdict from my panel was that while companies are still investing in green, the focus is on prioritization and the economic value. The silver lining in all of this is that the two are not mutually exclusive. The economic challenges have created a silver filter to weed out what my fellow panelist from InterfaceRAISE referred to as "fluff." So if you have not built sustainability into your DNA with a solid governance model, metrics, and ROI models, your green strategy might be first on the cutting floor. Hopefully you all have a robust sustainability agenda that recognizes you can be lean and green.Congress will soon face the same question as it relates to the energy legislation introduced by Chairman Henry A. Waxman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and Chairman Edward J. Markey of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee…The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) purports to create jobs, combat global warming and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. The question again will be whether America can afford to pass comprehensive energy and climate change legislation and what will be the cost to business, government and consumers.President's Clinton's message to leaders at the Fortune Brainstorm Green on how best to address climate change was simple: It's about "good economics." He urged all of us to focus less on the "what" and more on the "how." President Clinton outlined a clear strategy on how to make the case with a laundry list of opportunities and measured outcomes around building efficiencies, traffic congestion management, waste management strategies, utility modernization (including SmartGrid), low-income housing strategies and many more.Whether it's in the U.S. Congress, Copenhagen, our companies, our communities or in our homes, he asked us whether we can afford to wait and urged us all to share the 'how' we are going green and to back it up with strong economic data.Tell us what you are doing to be lean and green!

Laura, sounds like a great conference. I think the opportunities are well established to reduce cost by reducing energy requirements. Some sectors, such as the ICT sector both our companies, BT and Cisco, are part of, have also identified new markets in helping customers to be greener. The big challenge for us all is to ensure that as the economy grows again we build a foundation that undoes the historic tight link between economic prosperity and energy consumption. We need to grow the worlds prosperity while reducing the worlds energy needs.Lots more about what BT is doing to be lean and green at my blog www.csrperspective.com
This article makes a lot of sense. Let's hear less debate around the impact of climate change and whether or not our country can truly afford to go green at this time. The fact is that it is always wise to be as efficient as possible and in any economic condition. Efficiency goes to the bottom line and compounds ROI over time. Go green. It's time.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
Tennessee Head Coach Cuonzo Martin
(Opening Statement)
"I thought we did a great job as a team and played well on both ends of the floor. We did a great job on defense, I thought in the first half, maybe only one or two shots weren't contested. We were challenging them, making them take tough shots, making them take the extra dribble, forcing them to make tough plays.
"I thought we shot it well, executed well against the zone. We worked the shot clock and got some good looks, then got to the point where we settled down.
"I thought we did a good job shooting the three point shot, we shot well, didn't settle for bad shots, only took good shots. We took one or two in transition that we could have passed up, but other than that, I thought we did a good job."
(On the balance in scoring with 6 players in double figures)
"The past three or four games, we've done a good job running the motion offense, that's a credit to our guys moving and getting open against the zone defense. When you make that pass, good things happen. We penetrated and found the shooter.
"Our success starts with Trae Golden, he's done a really good job taking leadership as the point guard. He's got his guys directing traffic, running the offense and that's good to see. Once he took that step and we became a better defensive team, I thought we had the chance to be pretty good."
(On Cameron Tatum's performance)
"The thing about Cam is that he continues to bring his hard hat to practice and you have to give him an opportunity. I continue to preach that if you work hard, good things will follow. He's struggled with his shot, but he's stayed consistent, stayed in the gym and shots have started to fall for him. He's always been a good defender and played hard, he got nine rebounds tonight."
(On the team's four-game winning streak)
"It's one game at a time. If we continue to do the things we're doing, we have a chance to be successful. We take things one at a time. We enjoy this one tonight, then tomorrow we do everything in our power to get prepared to beat a talented Alabama team, and that's easier said than done."
SENIOR GUARD Cameron Tatum
(On his effort tonight)
"It felt good just to contribute in any way possible. In the Florida game, I still felt like I contributed. I still felt like I was a part out there and did some good things. This game was just my night to have a couple buckets."
(On Coach Martin sticking by him)
"It's a testament that I'm going to continue to work hard and I would run through a wall for that man. It's just strong loyalty. You can't go wrong with a guy like that."
(On Tennessee controlling its destiny)
"We've talked about that, but we also understand that we need to take it one game at a time. We understood how important this first game was of those three teams (that Tennessee was tied with). We have to continue to just keep plugging away, come in tomorrow to practice, put this game behind us and get ready for Alabama."
(On whether the SEC is taking notice that UT is a different team)
"They could be. It's a possibility, but we can't worry about what other teams are doing or what they think about us. We can only worry about what we control and that's our team and getting better as a team."
(On whether he feels Tennessee is a different team now)
"Absolutely, just the way we're closing out games. We've had big leads. We let (Arkansas) come back a little bit and creep up on us, but we withstood it. We ended up getting the lead back up. Guys continued to stay hungry. Guys continued to attack and share the ball. The way we're sharing the ball right now is great for us as a team and a unit, chemistry-wise. As long as we continue to do that, we'll keep plugging away and keep getting better."
(On the major difference tonight)
"It's just a level of focus. I was more proud to see us, as a team, not have a layover or a hangover from the Florida win. The way we came out and played defense, attacking them on offense, we played as a team today. I was just proud of how we played."
(On whether he believed Tennessee could play at this level)
"I absolutely believed it. When we watched the film, you could see we were just a couple possessions and a couple mental lapses away. The true show of growth of this team is when we start pulling out close games and start beating some teams and being able to handle large leads. We're starting to see it."
Sophomore guard Jordan McRae
(On his play the past four games)
"I definitely feel like I am playing my best. We are winning games and there is nothing else you can ask for. I am playing with the same confidence but I am playing much smarter than I was at the beginning of the season. There is still so much you have to learn, and I have to keep learning. "
(On the four-guard line-up)
"It makes it difficult because they have to guard everywhere. There are not two players in the post, and it keeps the court open for driving lanes. Then when somebody helps, you have open shooters."
(On the 26-8 run to start the game)
"We were hitting a lot of shots and finding the open man. That is what our team can do really well. When we penetrate and kick the ball like that, we will be fine. The ball movement has been really good the past couple of games. We have some good shooters on the team and guys good around the basket. So, you need to get open guys the ball."
Freshman forward Jarnell Stokes
(On the 26-8 run to start the game)
"I think we are starting to make a lot of shots now and playing inside-out. That is really working for us. I was thinking (the game) was going to be a dogfight, but guys started hitting shots."
(On handling the double-team)
"I made quicker moves and was prepared for the double-team. I still have to do a better job of finding Jeronne (Maymon) on the passes."
JUNIOR FORWARD Jeronne Maymon
(On playing with a big lead)
"I think we still get content and stagnant. We didn't even score in the last four minutes of the first half after we got that big lead. I think our guys were a little complacent. We just have to do a better job with that."
(On Tennessee's 19-0 first-half run)
"I didn't even know we were on a run. I just thought we were playing defense and scoring points. I thought we played pretty well at Florida too. I guess you could say that. I just think our defense really brought our offense. We got a lot of transition buckets that really helped us."
(On UT's defensive strategy)
"We just tried to play tough defense. Those guys like to come off a lot of screens and everything like that. We were just doing a good job of being in help position and trying to limit their paint points."
(On Coach Martin at halftime)
"His demeanor doesn't change. He's the same guy when we're up 20 or we're down 20. We just keep playing defense and executing the offense. We just play hard. That's all he stresses. He doesn't change."
(On Tennessee coming together as a team)
"I think we are just playing really good basketball right now. We're all on top of our games and we're all in sync, trusting one another. I just think that's really key for us."
(On Jarnell Stokes)
"We're just trying to stress in practice to keep two hands on the ball and keep your elbows up. They're either going to foul you or you're going to get the bucket. He did a really good job with the double-team today."
(On Jordan McRae)
"It was just a matter of time for Jordan, just getting his head right and feeling out the offense. It was just a matter of time. Jordan can score with the best of them. We were just waiting on him to come along."
(Opening statement)
"It was a game where in the first half we fought uphill. We dug a hole and turned the ball over. Obviously, Tennessee had some easy opportunities - they shot the ball well. They made some shots. You've got to give them credit; they established throwing the first punch.
"But in the second half, we responded a lot more positively. We got the lead down to 10 with a chance to cut it and one of their veteran guys, (Skylar) McBee, knocks a big shot down. But I liked the positiveness and I liked the effort in the second half from our guys."
(On the effect McBee's 3-pointer had when the score was 60-50)
"Well, again, you're fighting uphill and sometimes, especially with a young team, that can take the wind out of your sails. But it wasn't because our guys weren't trying."
(On Tennessee's hot shooting to start the game)
"They shot the ball. If you make 11 threes, you're going to beat a lot of people. Obviously, some of them were wide open and we've got to do a better job from that standpoint. And in the second half, we did a much better job. The field-goal percentage went down because we paid a little bit more attention to the guys who were shooting the basketball.
"Again, in the first half they were getting some easy opportunities - their transition and it just seemed like we were out of kilter on defense."

Sarajevo becomes biggest regional film market
By Daria Sito-Sucic
SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Romanian film director Florin Serban was overwhelmed after showing his debut film this week to 2,000 spectators at the Sarajevo film festival, where he had shopped around his script as an unknown three years before.
"It was a dream to see my movie on this screen," he said.
His film "If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle," a drama about a teenager's desperate bid to escape from prison, won the runner-up Jury Prize and the Alfred Bauer Prize for cinematic innovation at the Berlin film festival earlier this year.
The low-budget film by a first-time director on a gloomy topic with unknown actors struggled for funding until the Sarajevo Cinelink industry market granted seed money to start filming.
Cinelink hands out between 1.5 to 3 million euros ($4 million) a year, which is donated from national film funds from countries such as France, Germany and Bosnia. Festival officials hope to raise the grant money to 10 million euros in the coming years.
"Before shooting we could not find a partner. We returned to Cinelink and found a co-producer," Serban said. "After the shooting, we were left with no money but came back to Cinelink and won a post-production award that pushed us forward."
The Sarajevo festival, launched 16 years ago as an act of defiance at the end of the 1992-95 siege of Sarajevo by the Bosnian Serb forces, has become a major showcase for East European films.
It has also turned into the largest marketplace for regional industry insiders, with the Cinelink market a hive of networking and deals for those interested in southeastern Europe. Continued...

In the uneventful, latter half of February, gone are the fancy dinners, beautiful flowers and, for some, edible garments that comprise Valentine's Day's showy, ritual displays of affection. Those of us who are in love (to use a phrase which is, in any public context, admittedly obnoxious) will settle back into sharing quieter, everyday moments: buying groceries, taking public transit, gossiping about friends, family, and co-workers.
New Yorker cover artist Adrian Tomine's charming, winning new book of comics, Scenes from an Impending Marriage, captures a couple in one of the rare phases that combines both romantic ritual as well as mundane organization and preparation: planning their wedding. What becomes abundantly clear is that the lion's share of the love, intimacy, and humour is to be found in the humble day-to-day.
Like any good engagement, the book (published by Montreal-based imprint Drawn + Quarterly) is short (54 pages!) and sweet. In a series of multi-page, multi-panel comics — punctuated by occasional one-page/one-joke wonders that were described by a friend as "like Family Circus, but funny" — we watch Japanese-American Adrian and his Celtic-American fiancée, Sarah, as they book DJs, register for gifts, and navigate the politics of the guestlist.
The couple is self-consciously privileged, skeptical of the marital hullabaloo, but ultimately excited about a beautiful wedding. It's this semi-detachment, the ironic distance between the couple and the traditions that they're nevertheless indulging, that makes Scenes from an Impending Marriage such a success: at once cutting and sweet, world-weary but genuinely excited.
So we get the groom-to-be angrily dressing-down a potential DJ (a self-styled "musicologist") on the subject of Bob Seger: "We do [like old-time rock and roll]! We just don't like bombastic songs about old-time rock and roll!" Then sheepishly, in the next panel, he turns to his fiancée: "Right?" We get Sarah busily working out details for the big day over the phone while Adrian eats chips and watches The Wire. We also get her aiming a department store's wedding registry scanner at her fiancé like a gun and demanding, (literally) point blank, that he choose between the "'Grand Hotel' flatware or the 'Charlemagne.'" Adrian earnestly questions why he has to buy a $100 necktie, and can't just wear the one he bought for Sarah's grandmother's funeral.
Eventually, they volunteer at a soup kitchen for AIDS patients and have their trivial worries thrown into sharp relief.
Adrian and Sarah also engage in negotiations that will be immediately recognizable to many Vancouverites: working with, and around, differences of "Cultural Heritage." Adrian's parents want Taiko drums at the reception, Sarah's want bagpipes. In a particularly hilarious sequence (with one of the best punchlines in the book), Sarah gently accuses Adrian of only wanting to hire a particular florist because they are of Japanese descent. When he protests this assessment, she demands the names of his accountant, optometrist and dentist (who are, respectively, "Ken Takahashi," "Peggy Ouchida," and "Mariko Fujiwa").
In the North American context, there is little or no widespread prejudice against relationships between white folks and East Asians. Even if no one wants to stop us from being together legally or socially, cultural differences linger. Usually it's the stuff of minor frustration, the coal that makes comedy diamonds. More than three years into this reviewer's interracial marriage, we're still catching each other up on what it means to be Chinese, French-Canadian, or British. (Last year, I had to explain what a meatloaf is.)
Tomine's gentle, probing insights on this score are one of the real triumphs of the work. Scenes from an Impending Marriage captures what stays exotic in a partner, and what quickly collapses into instant familiarity and everyday intimacy.

Power steering aside, this weekend I bought some tools for measuring toe.
Bear in mind there are various approaches for measuring toe:
Plumb bob & tape measure:
Hang a plumb bob at the 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock location of the tire tread; mark the floor where the plumb bob hits; measure between marks; and trig out the angles based on the measured distances
Here's a laser variant where you mark the floor and trig out the toe (
Toe plate & tape measure:
Strap flat plates to the outside of the wheels on an axle; measure between them with a tape
Here's a much fancier take on the toe-plate concept (
Sliding bar & tape measure:
Adjust a pointer and lock into place; then measure the distance with a measuring tape.
Here's a single square tube approach (where the fingers slide on the outside of the tube) (
I opted for a similar approach, only with the cheaper circular tube (
Personally, I like the dual square tube approach (where the outside ends slide into the central tube)
My first idea was to simply slide two lengths of smaller square tubing inside a larger central length ... and I really liked the solid feel of this sliding-bar approach ... but at roughly $18 to $22 for each 6-foot length of square tubing (steel vs aluminum), I just couldn't justify the cost over the vastly less expensive steel 1/2 inch EMT circular tubing which was a mere $2 for a 10-foot length at Lowes.
It would have cost about $40 if I used the sliding steel/aluminum rectangular tubes, which is too close in price to a professional toe gauge to be worth it.
A matching sliding EMT clamp for each end cost about 50¢, and I added two more of these clamps for the optional central mount.
A threaded rod for the feelers that touch the tire was less than $2, and wingnuts to replace the hex nuts on the two clamps cost a total of $1.
EDIT: Here's a pic of the parts ... (total cost is roughly about $7 not counting the extra nuts and wingnuts I bought):

The Bosom Serpent: Folklore and Popular Art
by Harold Schechter
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0820445142, Paperback)In our high-tech, consumerist culture, traditional folklore has found itself revived in an eclectic mix of popular works from B-movies, TV shows, and superhero comics to pulp novels and supermarket tabloids. With a strong emphasis on narrative and very little reliance on aesthetics, these forms of popular entertainment have often defied analysis. The Bosom Serpent fills this gap by revealing the pervasive similarities between traditional folklore motifs and our contemporary forms of amusement. By examining a variety of works and genres from classic fairy tales to supermarket tabloids, The Bosom Serpent demonstrates that today's popular art is no more (or less) than the sort of unpretentious narrative entertainment human beings have always craved--tall tales dressed up to fit the concerns of the time.

wah! You *have* to watch this!
I am so trying this! Apparently works, regardless of your curl level. (though I think results may vary!)
The Curly Fro: Perm Rod Set on Natural Hair - YouTube
Wow - that looks awesome. Sounds a bit time consuming, but it looks like a cool way to get very defined a uniform curls. Not something I would want to do on a regular basis, but maybe once in a while to get a different look. I'm curious how that would turn out on someone with a looser curl pattern. Knotty_Maddy, if you try this, please post pictures :)
Thanks for the input, Fefe, now I am defs gonna try this. :iconbiggrin:

Anybody know a good way to secure the liftgate? I need to get some pre-hung interior doors that will most likely be longer than the cargo area.. As best as I can tell the liftgate does not have any place to run a rope through it to tie to the frame or tow hook.
Re: Liftgate
Pop the rear window and run some rope or bungees around the frame and secure it under the rear somewhere.
You should be fine as long as your not driving long distance or on the highway.

Robe à la française
Unknown artist, French
Robe à la française, 1760-1770
Silk ribbed weave (cannele) with discontinuous supplementary patterning wefts
Center back length: 150.5 cm (59 1/4 inches)
Museum purchase with funds from the Museum Associates in honor of Eleanor Fayerweather 82.287.1
The most popular style of women's eighteenth-century dress was known as the robe á la française (or sack back gown). Assembled from three basic pieces, the largest component was an overdress opening down the front with a loose back held in double box pleats at the neck. The bodice front was joined by a stomacher, a triangular piece of fabric usually elaborately decorated. Beneath the overdress was a petticoat exposed by the open-fronted skirt. This basic form remained the same throughout the century, although the fabric, trim, and proportions of the gown changed from year to year. The RISD gown's relatively narrow silhouette, meandering ribbon fabric pattern, and delicate trim date it to the 1760s.

Google Search Trends As Oscar Predictors
In the run up to the Academy Awards on February 27th, Google has developed an application that compares search trends with the probability of certain films to win awards.
In the run up to the Academy Awards on February 27th, Google has developed an application that compares search trends with the probability of certain films to win awards. The multifaceted interface shows trends for each of the awards categories, visualizing not only searches, but popularity based on international region as well. Users can choose to look at the statistics for five nominees at a time on the chart.
What is most interesting, however, is that from this tracking it appears as if trends in Google searches can predict what will most likely be crowned the best picture of the year. According to Google, when the nominees were first announced, four of the ten nominees were in the top ten trending topics that day. Over the last three years, searches for the eventual winner spiked for at least the last month before the awards ceremony. As of today, the most trending film, unsurprisingly, is David Fincher's The Social Network. It has not only been seeing its searches increased in the last four weeks, but has also been trending strongly in the New York area as well – key factors that it could be the next winner of the big award.
Google warns that these statistics should not be held onto too steadfastly. They state that they simply represent perceived interest through increased search engine traffic.
The Oscars have always renewed or generated interest in films from the past year that either people hadn't had a chance to see initially or that they may not have heard about at first. With the hullabaloo over so-called non-popular artists winning awards at the Grammy's we wonder if the reactions would have been the same if the awards show was more of an "event" and viewers Googled the nominees prior to the ceremony. It would appear that although the Oscars are perceived as a large spectacle they do not inspire the same fervor as the Grammy's do among the general public.

text: 000 FXUS63 KABR 262050 AFDABR Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Aberdeen SD 350 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 347 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 As of 20Z, the region is situated under northwest flow aloft with a high pressure at the surface. This high pressure will drift southeast of the region tonight allowing for southerly winds to develop. With 0-0.5km winds increasing to 20-35 knots before sunrise, low temperatures tonight will range in the upper 40s, to the mid 50s. This CWA will continue seeing windy conditions on Tuesday as a low pressure system develops west of the region. Based on buffer soundings, winds may briefly exceed wind adv criteria in central South Dakota. Since it`s marginal, will hold off on a headline. Good WAA during the afternoon hours could lead to convection in NE South Dakota and western MN. The main focus for severe weather will be late Tuesday afternoon along a frontal boundary. Models show thunderstorms developing over the Black Hills region around 21Z. These storms will continue to intensify as the track eastward into a moderately unstable environment. The strong to severe storms could reach our far western CWA between 23-0Z. Chances are best beyond the short term. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday Evening through Monday) Issued at 347 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 Forecast models maintain that the forecast period contains a rather active weather pattern, of seeing potential weather systems appx once every couple of days. No prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold. Just a busy thermal advection pattern. The period opens with a potential round of strong to severe thunderstorms developing/moving into the forecast area. Mid-level waa will have warmed temps up enough to cap off daytime convection, but as a cold front begins to push into the region from the west early Tuesday evening, expecting at least isolated to scattered coverage of thunderstorms (supercells most likely) to develop with large hail and damaging winds possible. If convection rooted in the boundary layer gets going along/west of the Missouri River valley Tuesday evening, there will be no lack of low level moisture/jet activity overnight to feed convection. It`s entirely possible, given amount of low level shear around Tuesday night, convection may evolve into one or two MCS`s with a continued wind threat extending as far east as the Prairie Coteau late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. A couple model solutions still hint at a secondary round of showers working into the forecast area by late in the day Wednesday. However, most 12Z model runs today are still hinting at potential for showers and thunderstorms is more probable by Thursday evening lasting into the day on Friday, and then again by late in the day Sunday into Sunday night. Deterministic and ensemble thermal progs indicate temperatures will be hovering right around climo average for late June/early July, give or take a few degrees. Perhaps by early next week, temperatures could be rising to values 5 to 10 degrees above normal. Will continue to monitor 4th of July temperature trends. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday Afternoon) Issued at 1233 PM CDT Mon Jun 26 2017 VFR conditions can be expected through the valid taf period. Increasing southerly winds later tonight could produce a wind shear for KPIR. All areas will see gusty winds by 15Z Tuesday. && .ABR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...None.

March 24, 2011
By Zach Stipe, Media Relations Assistant
BROWNS SUMMIT, N.C. - The 14th-ranked Tennessee Lady Vol golf team returns to a familiar tournament this weekend looking for continued improvement before next month's conference championship.
For the 11th straight season, the Big Orange will be competing at the Bryan National Collegiate. Held at the Bryan Park Golf and Enrichment Center from Friday through Sunday, the event, hosted by No. 15 Wake Forest and UNCG, will feature 13 top 50 teams, including No. 6 Duke, No. 8 Virginia No. 17 Michigan State, No. 18 Vanderbilt and No. 19 North Carolina.
The Lady Vols are coming off a tied-for-third performance at the LSU Tiger Golf Classic from March 11-13, where sophomores Erica Popson and Sara Monberg tied for seventh and 11th, respectively to lead UT.
Rohrback and Thomas Interview
Lady Vol head coach Judi Pavon said that her team is prepared to grab its second victory of the season this weekend in the Tar Heel State. She will take a lineup that includes Popson, Monberg, junior All-American Nathalie Mansson and freshmen Chessey Thomas and Kaitlyn Rohrback.
"Our goal is to win the tournament," Pavon said. "We had a good finish last week, which gave us a great feeling about our potential. We have to start looking up - towards the top. There will be a tough field at the Bryan National, but it's not a field we can't beat. It's a very well-run tournament and I love the golf course. Erica (Popson) and Sara (Monberg) have been playing really well and our two freshmen in the lineup - Kaitlyn (Rohrback) and Chessey (Thomas) - have had some great rounds. Hopefully, Nathalie (Mansson) can bounce back from last week, as well."
Mansson finished a disappointing 61st at the Tiger Classic, but the veteran from Stockholm, Sweden has two career tournament victories and led the Lady Vols to a tied-for-sixth finish at the Bryan National in 2010 with a runner-up performance. Her 3-under 213 score at the Bryan Park Golf and Enrichment Center last season ties for the sixth lowest total in tournament history.
The lowest single round score (65) in the tournament's history actually came from a Lady Vol, too. Young-A Yang tallied a 65 for the second round in 2001.
Tennessee's best finish at the tournament came in 2005, when it placed second.
The first and second rounds will begin with tee times at 8:20 a.m., while Sunday's final round is scheduled for a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
Golfstat.comwill have live results, and you can follow the Tennessee women's golf team on Twitter at twitter.com/LadyVol_Golf for updates.

That's why we have public opinion polls, right? Well ... it turns out that the public's opinion isn't as clear as pols might have liked, and had everything to do with when and what they were asked. Transcript After so much argument, why couldn't the politicians just give the people what they want? [LAUGHS] I mean, it was so obvious. MAN: All I know is that the American people are adamantly opposed to this health bill. MAN: Americans want health care reform, by an overwhelming majority. MAN: We know from the polling that's been done in this country how the American people feel. BOB GARFIELD: The problem, of course, is that Americans' expressed desires had everything to do with when and what the pollsters asked, not to mention the words they chose to ask it. At the beginning of March, Gallup surveyed the public's opinion of health care reform. It found that 45 percent were for it, 48 percent against it and 7 percent had no opinion. But if you dug a little deeper, you found that the second reason people gave for why they were against it was that it, quote, "doesn't address real problems." And the third was that they simply, quote, "need more information." Not exactly the open-and-shut case the critics and advocates needed to claim they were doing the people's will. And the Gallup Poll was just one of many that raised more questions than answers. Gary Langer directs polling for ABC News. Gary, welcome to the show. GARY LANGER: Hi, Bob. BOB GARFIELD: You wrote that, quote, "It's been a simple matter for just about anyone to mischaracterize public opinion on health care reform." What would you say are the greatest sins of mischaracterization? GARY LANGER: Well, claiming that we have large majorities of Americans either in support of or in opposition to health care reform would be a mischaracterization. There are elements of reform that are popular. There are other elements that are off-putting. Put it together, you're getting about an even split, and it's been that way for months. BOB GARFIELD: Did the GOP kind of lump into their notion of public dissatisfaction not only those against too much government spending but those who saw the bill as not going far enough? GARY LANGER: I don't know what the Republican Party is doing with the data that it's presenting, but I can tell you that the poll that I've seen that's had the largest level of opposition to reform, 59 percent, includes 13 percent within that 59 who say it's not liberal enough. BOB GARFIELD: But if you leave out that little detail, you can say "overwhelmingly opposed" and technically be telling the truth. I use the word "technically" advisedly. GARY LANGER: Well, you can. At the same time, that was the CNN poll, and the pollster who did it took the trouble to ask that follow-up question and to report it. BOB GARFIELD: Well, what about the media? Have we permitted scoundrels to, you know, misrepresent the true breadth of public opinion? GARY LANGER: Look, the news media have long indulged themselves in the lazy luxury of being both data-hungry and math-phobic. Anytime a newsmaker, an interview subject, a politician, a pundit cites data, we really need to hear where that data came from. There have been politicians and pundits on both sides of this issue who have tried to claim the mantle of popularity. That's true on almost any issue. It is important, to the extent we can, to call them on it. We have to overcome this notion that life can be boiled down, in, in this case, to a single number. There's more complexity there. You know, any other news that comes in over the transom, we check it out before we report it because that's our responsibility. If it's polling data, it's too sexy, it's too compelling. We're all English majors, and we just want to pick it up and use it. We need to stop and check this stuff out too. That is happening more at some good news organizations, but not enough at enough of them. BOB GARFIELD: All right, Gary. Well, thank you so much. GARY LANGER: Thank you, Bob. BOB GARFIELD: Gary Langer is director of polling for ABC News.

text: Please be aware that shipments of ink may freeze and leak during periods of cold winter weather. Fountain pen ink cartridges are particularly vulnerable to this problem due to the fact that they are small and freeze quickly. We try our best to prevent this from happening by carefully wrapping ink and cartridges when packaging them, but it is impossible for us to avoid it completely. If you decide to order ink and it is damaged during shipping due to freezing weather, please be advised that we will not be replacing it during the winter weather season. You can help us out by making sure that your package does not sit outside in freezing conditions for any period of time or have your package delivered to a warm, indoor location such as a workplace. Thanks for your understanding.

Prescription and Illicit Drug Abuse
Frequently Asked Questions
11. If I use prescription medications the wrong way, how could that affect my health?
Taking medications the wrong way -- whether by accident or on purpose -- can make your health worse. Opioids (painkillers) can be addictive and they can have serious side effects, including slowed breathing and death from overdose.
Depressants can also be addictive if taken incorrectly. Their side effects include confusion and impaired coordination. Older adults are especially sensitive to these side effects, which can increase their risk of accidents and falls. Combining a depressant with anything that can cause sleepiness, such as alcohol or pain medications, can be very dangerous. And taking too many sleeping pills can cause delirium and worsen the symptoms of dementia.
Stimulants can be addictive if not taken as prescribed. Repeated use or high doses of stimulants can lead to feelings of hostility, anxiety or paranoia. Also, taking high doses of a stimulant may cause an irregular heartbeat, a dangerous rise in body temperature, heart failure, or seizures.
Taking a stimulant at the same time as certain other medicines can also be dangerous. For example, taking a stimulant and a cold medicine containing a decongestant can lead to dangerously high blood pressure or irregular heart rhythms.

The Peterson Perturbation
Robert Peterson, PhD. proclaims in his 1997 dissertation, The Quantum Parallax [footnote 63], that "so-called unidentified flying objects may well be intrusions from a parallel quantum universe, brought about by flux or rifts in the atmosphere."
Peterson's footnote relates to Ilya Prigogine's hypotheses outline in the 1984 book, Order Out of Chaos and the suggestion, as we understand it, that UFOs are intangible and/or tangible depending upon the observer's length of time observing ("measuring") the UFO.
A synopsis of Prigogine's thought may be found in Beyond the Quantum by Michael Talbot, [Macmillan, 1986].
Elaboration of the non-local aspects of quantum "reality" and UFOs can be found in Fred Alan Wolf's 1984 book, Star Wave: Mind, Consciousness, and Quantum Physics.
Douglas Hofstadter's Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid [Basic Books, 1979] and Metamagical Themas: Questing for the Essence of Mind and Pattern [Basic Books, 1985] illuminate the idea of how the mind produces or alters reality; both books going to the heart of the quantum mystery, and concomitantly UFOs (in our estimation).
Peterson's "perturbation" is grist for further research, but ufologists – the ones we're familiar with – are more consumed with consolidating their beliefs and positions or, in one case, remembering the 1980s where they nostalgically were more than they are now.
Being inane seems to be what "ufology" has devolved to, although "ufology" has never been much more than a pile of inanities.
To break away from old-thought to new-thought, about everything, not just UFOs, would be helpful. Unfortunately, ufologists are locked into a decrepit, unproductive mind-set, and thus have killed UFOs as a viable study for those who still believe in the things.
