Regular price: $31.47
This is the story of the three-year ordeal of the Sandakan prisoners of war - a barely known episode of unimaginable horror. After the fall of Singapore in February 1942, the Japanese conquerors transferred 2700 British and Australian prisoners to a jungle camp some eight miles inland of Sandakan, on the east coast of North Borneo. For decades after the Second World War, the Australian and British governments would refuse to divulge the truth of what happened here, for fear of traumatising the families of the victims and enraging the people. The prisoners were broken, beaten, worked to death, thrown into bamboo cages on the slightest pretext, starved, and subjected to tortures so hideous that none survived the onslaught with their minds intact, and only an incredibly resilient few managed to withstand the pain without yielding to the hated Kempei-tai, the Japanese military police. But this was only the beginning of the nightmare.
In late 1944, Allied aircraft were attacking the coastal towns of Sandakan and Jesselton. To escape the bombardment, the Japanese resolved to abandon the Sandakan prison camp and move 250 miles inland to Ranau, taking the prisoners with them as slave labour, carriers and draught horses. Their journey became known as the Sandakan Death Marches. Of the 2700 prisoners originally sent to Sandakan, only six - all of them Australians - would survive.
This important and harrowing book narrates the full story of Sandakan, as told through the experiences of the participants. Paul Ham has interviewed the families of survivors and the deceased, in Australia, Britain, and Borneo, and consulted thousands of court documents in an effort to piece together exactly what happened to the people who suffered and died in British North Borneo, and to determine who was responsible.
With few survivors (6) out of 2,500 odd, Japans ignoring it and both British/Australian government secrecy this story is amazing it ever got to print. Paul Ham has done his job so well I have to put him in the same league as Cornelius Ryan and John Keegan, possibly Richard Holmes as well. Wish I could write as well as Paul Ham let alone research to his depths.
This story isn't going to be as shocking as any other prisoner war story except that possibly everybody dies. The German 6th Army taken at Stalingrad also had great loss. Whether your view is that they deserved it or not, I don't think this story is a clash of cultures but just people being inhuman to others. No reason, bushito be damn, as a human, you don't do this. Animals don't even do this and we are suppose to be better than that.
Robert Meldrum reads this book well. A good book that made me despondent, mad-as-hell and then forgiving, all within the 18+ hours of listening. If I have learned anything it is don't surrender, don't listen to the bull-shit and when you have the chance, escape.

Great story! being an aussie, this book really hit home with only 6 survivers left, out of over 2400 australian & brittish troops.... a death rate of 99.8%!!! their accounts of the japanese barbaric & brutal torture of them, truly saddened me to tears. Every one should learn about what the japanese did to their P.O.W's in world war 2, such a disgrace. my only gripe about this book is that there were too many personal opinions from the author for my liking!

What made the experience of listening to Sandakan the most enjoyable?
What made this story "enjoyable" was learning about the sacrifice the Australians endured for their country and the allied, pacific war effort.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sandakan?
The final death toll!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Very moving. I had to control my anger about a people long gone and not shift it to their descendants.
Any additional comments?
Paul Ham is a very knowledgable author and his stories are engrossing and necessary. I have read the majority of his books and each one makes me appreciate the "digger" more and more. I served with the Aussies in Afghanistan. Truly remarkable soldiers!

Would you consider the audio edition of Sandakan to be better than the print version?
This is an extremely moving book that describes the horrors experienced by Allied Servicemen captured by the Japanese. It is easy to understand why so many Australian ex-servicemen could never make peace with those who tortured and killed so many.

This is a twin to the Bataan Death March, only it's Australia's version of it. I almost think it was worse than Bataan, I could not believe the extent of the losses the Australians experienced. It is a must read for any one. A truly great book.

If history has taught us anything, it is that the past should never be forgotten. To his credit, Paul Ham has brought the story of the Sandakan POW camp and death marches back into the public eye. I personally did not know such a travesty occurred to our Australian and British diggers and I found it very informative.
Many people may be vaguely aware of the horrific conditions and cruelty suffered by prisoners at the hands of Japanese forces during WWII, but even I wasn't aware of just how far the depravity went until I heard this story. Over 2200 prisoners passed through the Sandakan POW camp. 1500 were killed on the forced death march near the end of the war, many murdered for being too weak from sickness and exhaustion to continue on. The rest died in and around the camp from disease, torture and from being forcibly worked to death. Of the 1500 marched to death, only 6 survived. Combined with the losses suffered at the camp, it was a death rate of 99.8%.
The story is told in all of its shocking detail in Ham's book. Eyewitness accounts from surviving prisoners, guards and natives make for a disturbing telling. I was moved to tears a number of times during the book. It is so important that these events are never forgotten. For as George Santayana said: those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

Sandakan is a heart wrenching enlightening and wonderfully researched capturing me from the start. Robert Meldrum is perfect in his Narration of this book, precise articulate expressive. This is a great audiobook even if you are not a follower of war stories/research Enjoy

Would you listen to Sandakan again? Why?
Yes, I think it could be quite useful in my research.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sandakan?
I'm not sure if memorable is the right word to use here, but I was definitely very emotional hearing about the girl who gave food to staving soldiers, and came back to find they'd all left their wedding rings on the plate as payment. Also, hearing about one of the survivors stepping out and testifying in front of his previous captors at the war tribunal was really something.
What didn't you like about Robert Meldrum's performance?
Generally his voice patterns were good and he spoke in a way that made even the toughest, most graphic bits of this book easier to listen to. However, his pronunciation of non English words and names, including an ever changing pronunciation of "Sandakan" frustrated me to no end.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I never cried, but there were many sections that made me feel sad or unwell and I had to take a break. The narrator's calm voice helped me to continue though.

Cruelty knows no bounds. When my boys get older, this will be a required history book for them to read.
There is a reason The British and Australian army did not want this story to get out after the war. This story is not only incredible sad, (they were not worth trying to save,) it I full of strength and dignity to stand your duty, to help others when there is no future,to continue to represent good against the devil incarnate who had no limit to the sadistic evil they would unleash against their perceived enemies. Torture, canibalism, sadistic

Vatican City, Dec 15, 2013 / 10:24 am (CNA/EWTN News).- In his Angelus address on the third Sunday of Advent, Pope Francis emphasized the joy of the Christian message and community.
"The Christian message is called the 'gospel,' that is, 'good news,' an announcement of joy for all people; the Church is not a shelter for sad people, the Church is the house of joy!" he exclaimed to the crowds filling St. Peter's Square on Dec. 15.
"Christian joy, like hope, has its foundation in the faithfulness of God, in the certainty that He always keeps his promises," explained the pontiff.
The third Sunday of Advent is often referred to by its Latin name, Gaudete Sunday, which indicates that it is a day of 'rejoicing.'
"In the liturgy, the invitation to rejoice, to arise, resounds repeatedly, because the Lord is near, Christmas is near. Like a mother, the Church encourages us to follow faithfully the spiritual path in order to celebrate the feast of Christmas with renewed exaltation."
The enthusiasm of the crowd was apparent. Despite the rain, large numbers of people flocked to the Vatican square to celebrate an old Italian tradition: the blessing of the baby Jesus statues for manger scenes.
Today is "Bambinelli" Sunday, when children bring their statues of the infant Jesus from their nativity sets at home to be blessed by the Pope. "Dear children, when you pray in front of your manger scene, also remember me as I remember you," asked Pope Francis.
"May the Virgin Mary help us to hasten our steps toward Bethlehem to meet the Child that is born for us, for the salvation and joy of all men," he encouraged.
"The joy of the gospel is not just any joy," the pontiff explained. "It is the joy that comes from knowing you are welcomed and loved by God."Because of its divine origin, "this joy truly remains even in suffering, because it is not superficial, but goes down to the depths of the person who commits himself to God and trusts in Him."
"Those who have encountered Jesus along the road experience in their hearts a serenity and joy that nothing and no one can deprive them of," Pope Francis emphasized.
"Our joy is Jesus, his faithful love is inexhaustible!" he exclaimed, taking a moment to stress the loving forgiveness of God, who is always waiting to welcome his children back.
Moreover, when a fellow Christian becomes sad, "we must pray for him, and make him feel the warmth of the community."
Mary, the mother of Jesus, "helps us to live the joy of the Gospel in family, at work, in the parish and in every environment," he commented.
The Holy Father described a Christian's joy as "an intimate joy, with wonder and tenderness," like that of "a mother when she looks at her newborn baby, and feels that it is a gift from God, a miracle for which there is only thanks!"
After the Angelus, Pope Francis went to greet the members of the Dominic Tardini Community of House of Nazareth, who had participated in the 10 a.m. Mass held in St. Peter's Basilica, along with the group's president, Cardinal Achille Silvestrini.
The Pope thanked them for their work in service of "the dignity of the human person," asked for their prayers, and wished them a "happy and holy Christmas."

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
The Gospel of John developed over a period of time in various stages,[23] summarized by Raymond E. Brown as follows:[24]1. An initial version based on personal experience of Jesus;2. A structured literary creation by the evangelist which draws upon additional sources;3. The final harmony that presently exists in the New Testament canon, around 85–90 AD.[25]
Among others, Rudolf Bultmann suggested[29] that the text of the gospel is partially out of order; for instance, chapter 6 should follow chapter 4:[30]4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.4:54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.Chapter 5 deals with a visit to Jerusalem, while chapter 7 opens with Jesus again in Galilee because "he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him," a consequence of the incident in Jerusalem described in chapter 5. There are more proposed rearrangements
What is remarkable in Jackson's work is that in spite of being very much a modernist and a realist about the internal evidence concerning John's Gospel, he nonetheless sees a clear break, a severe unconnectedness in John between 7:52 and 8:12 when the Pericope de Adultera is removed. He is so convinced of this incontinuity, he uses it as evidence that John generally has suffered editing or dislocations by a final redactor or compiler. Although convinced by others that John 8:1-11 is an interpolation on textual grounds, he is just as certain that its removal solves nothing of the problem of John at this place in the text. […]The Pool of Bethesda: John 5:3b-4[Just] As certainly, the verses ch. v, 3 b, 4, are no part of the original Gospel, and here it is suggested that an evident gap has been filled in, by way of explanation, by some later hand; that, as the section originally stood, the genuine v, 7 was unintelligible, and hence the piece of information which, now properly relegated to the margin of the R.V., ultimately found its way into the text[2] 2. The story of the Pool of Bethesda is exceptionally idiotic. Whoever wrote it had never been there and assumed that nobody would ever bother checking - he was wrong and in most Bible versions, it is omitted.

Washoe County Democrats are organizing to improve party organization and boost attendance at February's presidential caucuses in hopes of reversing a Republican tide that swept over the state in 2002.
"I've never seen people as motivated to be sure Sen. (Harry) Reid keeps his seat and (President) Bush doesn't win Nevada," said Chris Wicker, a Reno lawyer who chairs the Washoe County Democratic Party.
"The party's more organized than it ever has been and more active in northern Nevada than ever before," he said Tuesday. "From my viewpoint it has not always been the best organized."
In 2002, Republicans scored a virtual sweep of Nevada, re-electing GOP Gov. Kenny Guinn in a landslide and claiming a newly created congressional seat as well as all five other top statewide offices. U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley of Las Vegas was the only Democrat to win above the local level in Nevada.
Bush also carried the state in 2000.
"From a party standpoint in 2002, they (Democrats) were very unorganized and I haven't seen anything to the contrary since that election cycle," said Chris Carr, executive director of Nevada's Republican Party.
Wicker acknowledged Nevada Democrats "could have used some stronger candidates" in the last election. But he said the losses had more to do with heavy turnout of conservative Republicans determined to cast ballots for a measure banning gay marriages and against one legalizing possession of up to 3 ounces of marijuana.
"People came out to vote on those issues," he said.
Since then, Nevada's Democratic Party has hired three full-time staffers to work out of their Reno office along with Pam duPre, the new executive director of the Washoe County Democratic Party.
"That represents a serious commitment on the part of the state party as well as the Washoe County party to get organized and stay organized," said duPre, who until recently was spokeswoman for the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.
"Our goal is to greatly increase our list of active Democrats," duPre said.
As of October, there were 374,603 registered Republicans and 366,301 registered Democrats in Nevada - 85,722 Republicans and 68,423 Democrats in Washoe County.
DuPre said 50 to 60 party activists have been attending the party's monthly meetings in Reno.
The 300 people who attended last year's main fund-raiser were surpassed by record attendance of about 400 at a recent $75-a-plate dinner, Wicker said.
"In Democratic circles, that's a large amount," he said.
Washoe County Democrats planned a meeting Tuesday night to try to stir interest in presidential precinct caucuses set across Nevada on Feb. 14.
Only about 300 Democrats attended precinct caucuses in Washoe County in 2000, but that was largely because Al Gore already had the nomination wrapped up, Wicker said.
About 1,000 attended in 1992 when Bill Clinton was vying with several other candidates in a situation similar to this year.
"I'd be thrilled if we approached those numbers," Wicker said.
Wicker and duPre agree former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean is the best organized among the Democratic presidential hopefuls active in northern Nevada, but Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Gen. Wesley Clark also are building support in the region.
"You can see it several different ways, the number of people that attend their meetings, the activities they do," Wicker said. "They are far and away the most active group, certainly in northern Nevada.
"Kerry and Kucinich are in the next tier then Clark. We haven't seen much of an organization from the others."
"I'm in the ABB camp - Anybody But Bush," duPre said.
Wicker said feelings about Bush run strong on both sides.
"It's no secret Bush has been a polarizing president. He has followed an extreme agenda down just about every issue you look at," he said.

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wfkx79/digital)
has announced the addition of the "Digital
Communications Market Report 2013" report to their offering.
The digital communications market has become increasingly dominated by
mobile connections, which now outnumber fixed residential
telecommunications lines by around two to one. This particular trend has
been driven by the rising uptake of Internet-based mobile devices, such
as smartphones and tablet computers. Around 50% of UK consumers are now
thought to own a smartphone, while tablet ownership was estimated to
have grown five-fold between Q1 2011 and Q1 2012 from just 2% to 11%,
according to figures compiled by Ofcom.
As a result, the mobile telecommunications market has become
increasingly competitive, with many network operators now offering
highly-discounted deals or low-cost tariffs to customers. Tablet
computers have also become more affordable to the majority of consumers,
who may have previously been priced out of the market, following
Amazon's ntry into the market, with its low-cost tablet alternative,
the Kindle Fire, which was launched in October 2012.
The emergence of different communications channels has also had a
significant impact on the digital communications market in recent years.
The majority of Internet-connected devices, including smartphones and
tablets, now offer a wide range of applications, which allow users to
check their e-mail, make calls, send texts and visit their favourite
social networking sites. As a result, an increasing tendency towards
non-voice communications channels, particularly text messaging, has
become noticeable.
Indeed, according to Ofcom's 2012 The Communications Market Report, as
of Q1 2012, text-based communications were found to be surpassing more
traditional methods of contact, such as telephone calls, as the most
frequent method of keeping in touch among adults, with the average
consumer now sending around 50 texts per week a figure that has almost
doubled over the past 4 years. Other non-voice communications channels,
including social networking; e-mail; voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP), such as Skype (News - Alert); and instant messaging services, including MSN,
have also become increasingly popular.
In spite of the ongoing rollout of superfast broadband across the UK,
which is currently being backed by a £530 investment on the part of the
Government, along with the imminent launch of fourth generation (4G)
mobile telecommunication within the country, revenue generated by both
fixed and mobile voice are likely to continue to decline. Although some
growth is expected to be seen within mobile messaging and data packages,
and broadband and narrowband services, this is likely to do little to
offset the overall decline within the telecommunications market. As a
result, telecommunications operators are expected to seek out new areas
of growth, such as digital services including VoIP solutions, e.g.
Microsoft's (News - Alert) Skype.
Companies Mentioned
- British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc
- Bt Group Plc
- Everything Everywhere Ltd
- Hutchison 3G Uk Ltd

Once the bill motors through the Senate and House, and has the signature of the prez (Hey, the GOP loves private businesses, right?) I'll be able to direct when and where war actually takes place.
This should undoubtably improve my popularity gasp and maybe get me a gulp date with that cutie gosh I've had my eye on for a while!
Ok, Kim's check bounced, you can invade now.
The next logical step is simply to privatize the Senate, and ban competing government organizations.
After all, private lobbyists ALREADY write legislation, conduct research and collect money.
What do we need a government-run Senate for?
The next step is for the Mafia to incorporate. They begin watching local businesses and... taxing them.... Then they sue claiming that the federal government has no authority to compete with them.
Other similar variations included private toll road operators, private security forces, and new start-ups whose sole purpose is to hire people to do things that aren't necessary. By doing so, we could ban state toll roads, the Department of Homeland Security, and about 95% of civil service jobs at the federal level, respectively.
Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a good start... but only if you -do- take it to the extreme.
Well, no. My tax dollars already paid for those "free" school and police services. Just as in this case, my tax dollars have already paid for the "free" NOAA data.
From TFA: Santorum made similar arguments April 14 when introducing his bill. He also said expanded federal services threaten the livelihoods of private weather companies.
Since when does the government owe any corporation a living? If the corporation can't find a market and compete within it, that's just tough shit.
But back to your point -- this bill is the exact equivalent of banning "free" public schools, because they "unfairly compete" with tuition-based private schools.
More from TFA: "It is not an easy prospect for a business to attract advertisers, subscribers or investors when the government is providing similar products and services for free," Santorum said.
Evidently that market must be pretty damned good even with the NOAA's "free competition" -- otherwise how the hell did AccuWeather and its kin become multi-billion dollar businesses in the first place??
More from TFA: AccuWeather has been an especially vocal critic of the weather service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The company has accused the federal agencies of withholding data on hurricanes and other hazards, and failing to ensure that employees don't feed upcoming forecasts to favored investors in farming and energy markets.
This from the very worst weather service I have ever seen in my 50 years on the planet. Even wild-assed guessing is more accurate than their forecasts!!
from SOAPpy import WSDL
print WSDL.Proxy("http://live.capescience.com/wsdl/Airpo rtWeather.wsdl").getTemperature("KLAX")
...and that will print out
The Temperature at Los Angeles, Los Angeles International Airport, CA, United States is 64.9 F (18.3 C)
Now personally I think that's pretty nifty. Sorry it doesn't use NOAAs services directly; I haven't checked what they are.
Clearly you're being rhetorical, but I'll fire off a response anyway:
Accuweather: For $20 I'll tell you whether you're in danger or not.
Me: I don't want to pay $20, that's crazy.
Accuweather: Oh, your safety isn't worth $20? How about you watch a bunch of commercials before we show you if you're in danger or not?
Me: I shouldn't have to sit through a bunch of ads to see that I'm in danger! Next it'll be the emergency sirens, won't it? "Emergency bulletin regarding public safety, but first, theses messages from our sponsors..."
Accuweather: We have a right to make a buck.
Me: Sure, but not at the expense of my safety!
No. More than half.
Because people vote for the guy who brings home the pork.Would someone please tell me WHY these people continue to get elected?
Santorum represents Pennsylvania, and AccuWeather is headquartered in Pennsylvania. If AccuWeather makes more money, Pennsylvania voters have more money in their pockets, and they will naturally be inclined to re-elect the guy who made it happen.
Politicians want votes. Voters want pork.
And that's your answer.
Um, no. Some congressmen have staffers who actually read letters; others don't. But they all at least count the number of letters they get on a particular topic. And I have talked to staffers who have told me that from time to time a letter actually does make a difference.I wish people would stop recommending that "people write their congress rep" eveything an innane law pops up. These people don't care, hell I bet most don't even read their own mail. With these web based forms and email, I'm sure peoples' opinions are a dime a dozen and most are immediatly filed promptly into
Now, using the web forms and e-mail is probably useless. You need to print it out, sign it in blue ink, put a stamp on it, and mail it. Which very few slashdotters will ever do.
Well maybe not for all congressmen, but most are paranoid about paper mail. Remember the anthrax scares of a few years ago? Staffers are still afraid. When mail arrives at their office they don't open it, they send it to an irradiation plant, then open it. The process intentionally takes weeks. (Some poisons are better destroyed by time than irradiation)
A post card is better because there is no easy way to hide poison on it (without killing everyone in the post office anyway). Still best is an email or fax, which cannot be tampered with by the sender.
Bill Frist's web site [senate.gov] has a side bar "PLEASE NOTE: security restrictions now cause considerable delay in processing postal mail sent to the offices of Senator Frist. Accordingly, please consider e-mail, fax"
On most issues a congressman or senator gets less than a hundred letters, even less than ten. Any issue that gets a lot of letters that are clearly from a) constituents, b) different people, and c) not form letters gets a lot more attention from the office.
At this point a well written original email on a subject will also g
The Congressional part especially has a lot of merit, since I'm sure Congress would prefer that we not find out about stuff like this except as duly authorized sources see fit to pass it along.
Add to that that other government agencies (both Federal and State) would have to staff up, duplicating the no-doubt-now-classified military work. Bottom line is that shutting down the NOAA forecast role will be a sizable net cost to the US, along with some unknown harm to both the economy and national security.
Great move, Senator.
C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes that harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg. -- Bjarne Stroustrup

San Francisco drag diva and movie whore Josh Grannell aka Peaches Christ brings '4D' movie experience to Dallas nightcrawlers
LAWRENCE FERBER | Contributing Writer [email protected]
Inwood Theater,
5458 W. Lovers Lane.
Friday and Saturday at midnight. 214-764-9106
Toss a wig and dress on a grindhouse cinema, add a large popcorn with plenty of camp and fake blood on top and you get Peaches Christ. The San Francisco drag star (alter ego of theater manager Joshua Grannell) is taking the world by storm with a 4D tour of her gory-campy feature debut, All About Evil.
Making a delectable comeback, Natasha Lyonne stars as Debbie Tennis, a mousy librarian who turns crazed, murderous exploitation filmmaker. Evil's co-stars include established genre icons and young matinee idols alike: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' hottie Thomas Dekker, Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson and Mink Stole.
Having gained notoriety at legendary S.F. clubs like Trannyshack and her own 12-year-old cult film series, Midnight Mass, Peaches Christ has now embarked on an old-school "William Castle-style" tour of the U.S. featuring live performances and appearances from the film's stars and local celebs. To get the scoop on what to expect, plus the 411 on this soon-to-be cult-horror household name, we spoke with Peaches/Grannell.
Dallas Voice: First, a couple of questions for Josh. For the uninitiated, who exactly is Peaches Christ? Grannell: Well, Peaches Christ is a deluded fan of all things cult movie and B-cinema, trashy old drive-in fare, and likens herself to being a cult leader: Silly, self-deprecating and a big dorky fan of movies and cult icons.
When was she created? I was at film school at Penn State University and making my senior thesis film, which was called 'izzmopper: A Love Story, and there was a character in the movie who was a drag queen and ran a porn emporium. I loved drag — Divine, Elvira, Joan Crawford — and I wrote this character and the actor playing her was not really working out, so I was shoved into the wig and costume in order to save the movie. I make it sound like they held a gun to my head but I look back and wonder if I wanted to play this part all along.
Do people from outside of San Francisco get you confused with electroclash musician Peaches? Yes, people get confused. Right now in Germany she is doing a show called Peaches Christ Superstar. As if it was not bad enough! I've actually gotten to work with her and she's awesome. I would love to do a duet someday and actually have a song to pitch to her when she's ready.
OK, Peaches can come out now. You created and present the film event Midnight Mass in San Francisco, and of course Natasha's character is movies-obsessed and runs a theater. So is All About Evil autobiographical? Peaches: Well, in a sense, yes. I really believe in doing whatever it takes to save neighborhood single screen movie theaters and this film is a way to describe what length we should be willing to go to save these cinemas — even if it involves criminal activity. You know, murder.
Is this a little like John Waters' Cecil B. Demented? I think Cecil B. Demented was in line with Patty Hearst's story, and ours is more like Female Trouble and Serial Mom. Because of the filmmaking aspect people think Cecil B. Demented, but it's more about ego gone wild and a quest and desire for fame. Where sociopathic behavior seems completely appropriate. I love all of John Waters' films. I grew up in Maryland, worshipping at the altar of Divine and Mink Stole. They were my heroes. The Dreamlanders and that group of renegade performers I really worshipped.
How did Natasha get involved? I've been a huge fan ever since I saw Slums of Beverly Hills. She was always at the top of my list and the film's cinematographer, Tom Richmond, had shot Slums! The best way [to get an actor] is to go through the back door, especially when you're a drag queen named after Jesus and a first time filmmaker. She read the screenplay and called me directly and we had a talk.
What was she like to work with? Awesome. She's really smart. Almost scary-smart, like when someone's so smart it makes you nervous a little bit? She's definitely got that wisdom. I told her I was inspired to write this by this filmmaker named Doris Wishman, who was really the only woman making grindhouse movies when Herschell Gordon Lewis and Russ Meyer were. Doris said, Fuck it, I can do what these men are doing and make as much money and exploit women the same way. And Natasha said to me, "I knew her, before she passed away." Like, who the fuck knew Doris Wishman? That was kismet! I had no idea she loved classic old movies and knew Doris personally. So it's really a perfect fit. In releasing the film I'm discovering that she has a dedicated fan base and her fans are excited to see her in this movie because it's the kind of role they love her to play, which is wicked and unhinged.
How about Nightmare on Elm Street hottie, Thomas Dekker? Well, Darren Stein, one of the producers and early champions of me making this movie, is a friend of Thomas. So when I was writing the movie and a part for a young man who loves horror movies and he's kind of naïve and oblivious to what's going on around him, but loves all the gore and violence, Thomas was on the Terminator TV show and played John Connor.I went to the set and during lunch in his trailer handed him the screenplay and one of the first things he asked was, "Is it true you know Mink Stole?" I said yeah, and he started quoting lines from John Waters movies and pulled out his DVD collection and it was every horror movie I loved from the '60s, '70s, '80s. He had every David Lynch movie — he is that kid who loves great underground, transgressive art.
What exactly can we look forward to at this 4D experience? Midnight Mass and Trannyshack and the world I come from is about having fun and not taking yourself too seriously, and one of the things I wanted to do as part of this roll-out is to inject a real spirit of having fun and being ready to participate and dress-up in horror and monster costumes and what we're calling 'gore couture.' We're really there to have a good time and set the tone for enjoying this over-the-top dark comedy.
How gay are horror films? I think people underestimate how many queer people identify with horror movies. I used to think that was so unique — I'm gay and love horror movies. No. A lot of gay people do. It appeals to our sense of … justice? Darkness? Fantasy? People get to act out things they fantasize about but would never do in life. In general horror movies can be homophobic, misogynist, all the things I don't like, but they can also be so over the top, something to not to be taken too seriously. I don't understand humorless drag queens or horror movies.
What is your view on the state of horror films today? I think a lot of people are really negative because they're down on the remakes or focused on what is making the most money but I would say just dig a little bit deeper because there are some incredible things going on in the world of indie horror. One of the things super exciting about the NYC engagement is I'm going to be introduced by Alan Rowe Kelly, who is this truly indie horror filmmaker working out of NYC. Look him up and you will see why I am so obsessed with what he is doing. For one, as far as I know, Alan appears as a woman but goes by the pronoun 'he' and makes these fabulous horror movies where the queerness and oddness is not the point. They're just outrageous and wild and bizarre. He's filming them in New Jersey for no budget and churning them out year after year.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - Topeka Police say a person who arrived at a hospital Friday afternoon with a gunshot wound has died. Whether that victim was injured during an exchange of gunfire between people in two vehicles in East Topeka remains under investigation.
Police say 19-year-old Guillermo Galicia was dropped off at the St. Francis ER around 11 am Friday. They say the person who brought him immediately got into the gray Jeep Cherokee in which they arrived and sped away.
Around that same time, officers were putting up crime tape and marking numerous shell casings around the area of SE 4th and Lake and Chandler.
Police say people in two vehicles were shooting at each other. One of the vehicles hit a garage, went through two chain link fences, then stopped when it ran into a house.
Police say the people in the vehicle ran before officers arrived. The second vehicle left the scene.
Capt. Jerry Stanley says officers were investigating how all the evidence was connected and searching for the people involved.
"We have a car filled with bullet holes but haven't been able to locate the persons in the vehicle," Stanley said. "We are feverishly trying to track that down and see what we need to know so we can continue the investigation and see how we proceed with that."
Police are investigating the victim's death as a homicide. They are seeking the public's assistance in finding the driver and vehicle. Lt. Ron Gish says detectives are investigating whether Galicia's injury happened in the exchange of gunfire between the vehicles, but cannot confirm that at this time.
Police ask anyone with information to contact Topeka Crime Stoppers at 784-234-0007. Callers can remain anonymous.

Social Media Smarts: Interview with Frank Eliason of Comcast aka @ComcastCares
Photo by Shel Israel
Twitter has become many things to many people and organizations for that matter, including Comcast. It really says something when a company experiences the bite of consumer malcontent via social media and then turns around and becomes known as a best practitioner. This is the experience of Comcast and Director of Digital Care, Frank Eliason.
Based in Philadelphia, PA, Frank started with Comcast as a Customer Service Manager in September, 2007 and as you'll read in the interview below has evolved into the social media face of Comcast through his Twitter name ComcastCares.

Skip to comments.Caught Red-Handed on Climate Change
Posted on 01/21/2013 5:50:38 AM PST by Kaslin
A prominent global warming scientist, Peter Gleick, who was chairman of the ethics committee at the American Geophysical Union, admitted last year that he stole some documents- and he may have forged others- from the conservative think-tank the Heartland Institute. But thats all in a days work for a work-a-day climate warrior. The important thing isnt the quest for the truth in global climate research, but, as Charlie Sheen would say, winning. With winning comes cash.
Because for some time its been clear, that in the climate debate, instead of actually accomplishing something worthwhile, all the attention will be on the winners and losers. And some losers in the debate are much bigger than others.
For example:
In the field of climate science, when someone especially skeptics did something ethically questionable or misrepresented facts, writes MSNBC, scientist Peter Gleick was usually among the first and loudest to cry foul. He chaired a prominent scientific society's ethics committee. He created an award for what he considered lies about global warming.
No word yet whether Gleick will create an award for forgery. I hear the pool of candidates isnt deep this year since all of the forged data from Climategate has already gone pro.
The authentic documents stolen from Heartland were released by Gleick, along with some documents the Heartland folks say are forgeries.
The real documents were prepared by the think-tank to counter the global warming bunk that is being taught in US schools.
I know about the global warming hysteria that is taught at the elementary and secondary level, because my kids come home everyday and instead of telling me about how theyve learned to read and write and how great George Washington was, they instead tell me that transfer calculations indicate that strong gradients in both ozone and water vapor near the tropopause contribute to the inversion. Ah, huh. I think neither they, nor their teachers, nor the authors, nor myself, knows what that means.
Still I hope the question is on the ACT. But I doubt it.
This is a very serious issue.
How serious?
Heartland has not said whether any of the documents it unwittingly released were altered, reports the LA Times, and Gleick said he did not change any of the material he got. But several of the key points the purported strategy document makes are backed up in the material Gleick obtained from Heartland. Most notably, in a fundraising document, Heartland identifies one of its priorities as reshaping the discussion of climate change in K-12 classrooms. Ohmygosh!
Well lets just say that the Heartland Institute is in BIG trouble now.
How dare these right-wing troglodytes have a scientific position contrary to the United Nations Interplanetary Council on Wealth Transfer and Class Envy.
No, no. no. You cant do that. Not under an Obama administration.
Yeah sure: The UN misspends our money on their sex scandals, mismanagement of programs designed to secure peace and prosperity and engage in habitual human rights abuses by a majority of the members states who make up the one-world-government to-be. But clearly, those problems aside, they have the skill to put together a group of scientists who can report objectively on the science behind global warming; especially the part where the remedies include:
1) You footing the bill; and
2) They get your money. Dont we mere mortals know that our puny powers of reason and deduction are impervious to the powers granted to the Society of Ethical Geophysicists by the government of the United Nations?
Thats why the scientist, Geophysicist Ethicist Mr. Gleick, is now being hailed by the director of research for Greenpeace, Kert Davies, as a hero, says the LA Times.
Most other commentary declaims Gleick's methods, while not-so subtly applauding his aims.
The Atlantic's Megan McArdle has had about the only rational response, concluding that Gleick is crazy:
And ethics aside, what Gleick did is insane for someone in his position--so crazy that I confess to wondering whether he doesn't have some sort of underlying medical condition that requires urgent treatment. The reason he did it was even crazier. I would probably have thrown that memo away. I might have spent a few hours idly checking it out. I would definitely not have risked jail or personal ruin over something so questionable, and which provided evidence of . . . what? That Heartland exists? That it has a budget? That it spends that budget promoting views which Gleick finds reprehensible?
When conservatives question global warming, we are lying, apparently. When liberals steal in the name of global warming, it can't be a sign of desperation, poor science or character. No; they must be crazy, with due respect to Ms. McArdle, who I believe is sincere .
I guess since liberals haven't yet embraced retroactive abortions, the next, best thing they can do is label someone crazy when they want to cut them from the herd, as they did recently with Media Matter's David Brock.
Skeptics- or rather, deniers, as wed much rather be called- will point out that increasingly the public is distrustful of global warming science.
Despite a little bounce in the polls, 60 percent of US respondents to a Rasmussen survey dont think that global warming is man made. In a January survey of the top 22 policy priorities for the US, writes Our World 2.0 the public ranked climate change dead last, according to the Pew Research Center.
When government muzzles scientists for political reasons, it cuts at the fundamental principals of good science, Stephen Hwang, professor of general internal medicine at the University of Toronto told Our World.
But when the doctors and scientists seek to muzzle the rest of us its all A.O.K.
And for some weird reason the public just doesnt trust those scientists who are fully sponsored and funded by the UN, US, UK and other government grants, which in turn were funded by you.
By talking about it, you troglodytes just emit more carbon. Good going.
Your proper role is to just shut your big, fat mouth and fork over a carbon credit or cash equivalent so the truth-seeking can continue unimpeded.
Editor's note: Peter Gleick, after spending time in liberal purgatory, was reinstated in his job as president of the Pacific Institute not withstanding the theft. The New York Times approves:
After an internal investigation, Peter Gleick has been reinstated as president of the Pacific Institute, the environmental group largely focused on water and climate that he founded in 1987. The career of this seasoned and lauded scientist and policy analyst ran off the rails when Gleick masqueraded as a member of the board of the anti-regulatory Heartland Institute to obtain internal documents on budgets and strategies. (He undertook this deception even as he was heading a task force on scientific ethics for the American Geophysical Union.)
Peter Gleick was actually honored at the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) conference last month!
Missing the main point.
Those who do such things are more likely driven primarily by ideological motives, not financial ones.
So where is the Heartland Institute's big law suit against this guy?
So where is the Heartland Institute's big law suit against this guy?
Precisely. The "climate change/global warming" hysteria is not about climate change, global warming or (certainly) science ... it's about power and control.
I'm afraid I don't entirely agree.
According to you, and the original author, those on the other side of the issue always and by definition have ulterior motives, money and/or power.
The problem is that a lot more people will do really bad things for a cause in which they truly believe than will do so for their personal benefit. See the number of people killed by true believers in the 20th century vs. those killed for money or solely to gain personal power. As Orwell pointed out, nobody in the world is more dangerous than an idealist with a machine gun.
Also, you can always find people to kill for money, but finding those willing to die for it is a lot tougher. See suicide bombers.
Though money/power/belief are generally intertwined, and I suspect those at the top of any ideological movement are less likely to be true believers.
Posted before finishing my thought.
It should be fairly obvious that one cannot effectively oppose the true believer with the same methods that work for those driven solely by what they see as personal advantage.
It should be pointed out that we cannot consistently applaud the Climategate whistleblower and denounce this gentleman.
At least insofar as the issue is theft, not forgery.
Ahhh... to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel...
Of COURSE we can applaud the Climategate whistleblower and condemn Gleick! One was exposing academic and scientific fraud in public-funded supposedly-transparent researchers. The other stole documents of a private corporation that neither he nor the public had any right to, and which showed absolutely NO crime, wrongdoing, or other evidence of chicanery.
Sorry, but the context is everything. Is police wiretapping with a warrant the same as you recording your neighbor in the shower with a telephoto lens? This moronic wavering on matters of principle based on a desire to seem "fair" (especially when it has nothing to do with actual fairness) is the reason the GOP-e is constantly selling us out. It sure as heck shouldn't be the basis of argument on Free Republic...
True, many who are motivated by good intentions (that is, the "true believers") end up doing "bad things", but it's those in power -- those who are motivated by a need to control and impose their will on others -- who do "bad things" to tens of millions of people. Those are the ones that must be defeated.
My career was as a meteorologist, working for the Department of Defence. I interacted with a number of peers. With those who supported the hypothesis of AGW, I would tell them that the science was not even close to proving the case.
Their response was generally of this sort: Well, the science is not there, but if we wait for the science to be proved, it will be too late! Besides, look at what is required to respond to AGW. It requires more conservation of resources, less dependence on petroleum, and generally more control over society by experts. These are all very good things, so if we are wrong about AGW, it does not really matter, no harm comes from it, only good things.
This is a subset of the case that people are much less sceptical of "facts" that lead to actions which they want done. Anyone can fall to that sort of bias. It would not make a difference if the ability to reinforce or refute those views was pretty much the same across the political spectrum.
But, it is not. The MSM is in lockstep with the "more government is good" position, so it overpowers the opposition a hundred to one.
This has all of the hallmarks of a cult-religion. The danger is that they're forcing all of us into their congregation.
The sacrament of this religion is that all aspects of energy use are allocated by the state.
This must be resisted, with force.
That is where they are completely wrong. Humans can always make any situation worse. Just this winter people have been freezing to death in their flats in Ireland because of these feel good morons. The price of energy in Ireland required to stay alive in winter time, has risen dramatically because of inefficient green policies. These feel good greenies could be responsible for the deaths of millions if we enter the next Ice Age with retarded energy production capabilities.
Both of you are correct. They are statists. They see more government as always more beneficial if they get to tell the government what to do. They have generally been employed by the State all of their lives, and see themselves as the agents of the State, the "experts" who are much better at telling everyone else how to live.
They actually believe this.
Global Warming on Free Republic
Latest from Global Warming News
Not at all true, at least insofar as I understand the facts of the two cases. In Climategate, unethical and dishonest behavior was exposed, while here, as even his fellow traveler wrote he proved what? That heartland had a budget and planned to use it to advance the debate on the issue, while advocating for the position of the donors? Onoz! Hardly apples and oranges, even before considering the difference in how the "incriminating" material was obtained in the two cases.
Oops! Meant to say that it was hardly apples to apples, or else that it WAS apples and oranges.
Well, except that "more control over society by experts" thingy. Any control over any aspect of my life by anyone other than me, especially some self-righteous self-important tool who's convinced he's smarter than I, is NOT a good thing.

PHILADELPHIA — Utility crews restored power to thousands of Pennsylvania homes Saturday, but some customers in the dark for days after a tree-snapping ice storm may not regain power until early next week.
About 115,000 customers in Pennsylvania and Maryland remained without power late Saturday afternoon, and faced the prospect of a fourth night without electric heat or light. About 115,000 customers in Pennsylvania and Maryland remained without power late Saturday afternoon.
The majority of them are in the Philadelphia area, with utility PECO reporting about 107,000 outages, as of 6:30 p.m., down about 40,000 from Saturday morning.
The latest outages include nearly 47,000 customers in hard-hit Chester County, or more than one in five customers.
Montgomery County had about 28,000 customers without electricity, while Bucks County had 22,000.
PECO spokesman Greg Smore says weakened trees and limbs continue to fall, creating new obstacles. The company expects to restore power to everyone by Monday.
In Maryland, officials report about 2,000 outages.
The outages that remained Saturday included about 6,100 non-PECO customers in Lancaster and York Counties and 2,000 outages in Maryland.
More than 1 million customers lost power at the storm's peak.

PCM-Controlled Charging System
The PCM-Controlled charging system (Figure 142) provides many additional benefits over the current Integral Generator Regulator system. The first benefit is improved battery life. In an integral generator regulator system, the regulator set point is established by a temperature sensor in the regulator which estimates battery temperature. Field data has shown this approach lacks accuracy. With a PCM-controlled generator, the regulator voltage set point is determined by the PCM and communicated to the regulator via the generator communication line. The PCM will use a calibratable algorithm to estimate battery temperature. Improving battery temperature estimates will reduce battery damage caused by over- and undercharging.
The second benefit is improved engine performance. Whenever the PCM senses a Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) condition, the PCM will momentarily lower the regulator voltage set point. This reduces the torque load of the generator on the engine and improves acceleration. The PCM has a calibratable time limit on this reduced voltage feature. This is to prevent the generator output from being cut back for an extended WOT period, which could cause battery discharge.
The third benefit is improved idle stability. In response to the PCM's generator communication signal, the regulator uses a generator monitor signal to provide feedback to the PCM. The generator monitor signal provides the PCM with charging system information. Specifically, it lets the PCM know when the charging system receives a transient electrical load which would normally affect idle stability. Because the PCM can anticipate additional loads, actions can be taken to minimize idle sag. The PCM can choose to either reduce the regulator set point or increase engine idle speed, both of which are calibratable features. In order to establish whether the regulator is accurately maintaining the desired voltage set point, the regulator uses a charging system voltage line to sense battery voltage at the rear power distribution box.
The fourth benefit is reduced cranking efforts. The PCM can reduce the mechanical load on the starter by initially commanding a low voltage set point. This may improve start times.
If the PCM detects a charging system error, it will broadcast a low voltage telltale (ON) command which tells the cluster to light the charge indicator. The charge indicator will be illuminated it the PCM fails to see a signal on the generator monitor line for a time period greater than 500 milliseconds . This telltale command will also be used to indicate over-voltage conditions detected by the PCM controlled generator.
Each time the ignition switch is cycled to the run position, the cluster will initiate a bulb check by illuminating the charge indicator. It is the PCM's responsibility to issue a low voltage telltale (OFF) command if the charging system is functioning properly. This message should be sent during Network Initialization in the voluntary phase (250 milliseconds to 450 milliseconds after the ignition switch is cycled to the run position). If a low voltage telltale (OFF) command is not received by the cluster, the cluster will continue to light the charge light indefinitely.

Lightning Enter into Affiliation Agreement with the CHL's Brampton Beastby Staff Writer / Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning have entered into a one-year affiliation agreement with the Brampton Beast of the Central Hockey League (CHL) today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced. The Beast join the AHL's Syracuse Crunch and the ECHL's Florida Everblades as Tampa Bay affiliates.
"We take our developmental system very seriously," Yzerman said. "The Beast organization has all the ingredients to be a successful hockey franchise, including operating in a strong hockey market. Owner Gregg Rosen, president Cary Kaplan and the rest of their staff have a long history in hockey and are fully capable of building a winning foundation both on and off the ice in the City of Brampton."
- TWEET BEAT: Follow the Beast on Twitter
- MORE: More about the Central Hockey League
The Beast are a professional ice hockey team based in Brampton, Ontario. The team is set to begin its inaugural season in 2013-14 out of the Powerade Centre, a 5,000-seat arena in Brampton, located northwest of Toronto. As the first and only Canadian member in the league, the Beast will join nine other minor-professional CHL teams in the United States.
The Beast are led by head coach Mark DeSantis and assistant coach Brent Hughes.
"The Tampa Bay Lightning, with great leadership, tremendous history of success and commitment in their player development, is the ideal fit for the Brampton Beast," Rosen said. "We are thrilled with the partnership."
The Lightning previously held an affiliation with the CHL's Colorado Eagles during the 2009-10 season.

Democrats held onto the governorship in Washington on Friday, bringing an end to the only outstanding election from this week's governors' races.
Republican candidate Rob McKenna conceded to Democratic candidate Jay Inslee in a video statement. Inslee, a former U.S. representative, will succeed two-term Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire.
"Despite the extraordinary efforts of our volunteers, donors, staff and everyone who's been part of Team McKenna, it appears we will fall short of victory when the last ballots are counted. After 17 months of hard work, that is a very disappointing result," said McKenna.
Eleven states held governors' races Tuesday. Democrats were defending eights seats, Republicans three.
By Wednesday afternoon, CNN had projected winners in all but one of the elections - Washington - where mail-in ballots made up about 40% of the votes.
With the race in Washington now decided, Democrats hold 19 governorships; Republicans 30. Rhode Island's governor is an independent.
Republicans flipped North Carolina this year, expanding their national lead over Democrats at the statehouse level. The state hadn't elected a GOP governor since the 1980s.

Despite an exhausting campaigning schedule and the recent "nerve-racking" public debates, Sylvia Overby, a Democratic candidate for East Hampton Town Board, remains buoyant, meeting every election challenge with a smile and the determination to fight for East Hampton's quality of life.
While Ms. Overby's community involvement dates back to 1994, she admits she was surprised by the intensity of the campaign process.
"It's so stressful to put yourself out there for the world to decide on you," she said Monday. "And in reality, it involves more than just you — it involves your family and your friends." When asked when she decided for sure to run for office she said, "It's always a big leap. I don't think anybody is ever sure. It's daunting and it's personal and it's emotional."
A Floridian by birth, Ms. Overby described her inaugural visit to East Hampton as "love at first sight."
She says that her husband, who hails from Huntington, had always praised the beauty of the area, but she was skeptical until he finally drove her out to see it for herself. She decided almost immediately that she wanted to live here. They built a house in 1984, but only summered here, dividing their time between Amagansett and Atlanta, where they met, until 1994 when they moved here full time.
"I think one of the capturing moments was the thought that this [place] doesn't have a mall," she smiled. "It's such a relief from all the asphalt. I think [Amagansett] feels like a much happier place. It feels right."
She soon got involved with the Amagansett Citizens Advisory Committee, and served as its chairwoman for six years.
"There were a lot of issues during that time," she said. "The farmers market was trying to expand, people were looking for a grocery store somewhere — there were a lot of pressures for development and I wanted to make sure that the community reacted with everybody's voice. And that's what these C.A.C.s allow people to do." The committee had members from all political parties, but they all agreed about the right direction for the town, she said.
When the town undertook an update of its comprehensive plan, Ms. Overby served as chairwoman for a hamlets and villages subcommittee. She was also involved in a recreation advisory committee, and more recently, she served for seven years on the East Hampton Planning Board, three of them as its chairwoman.
Ms. Overby first ran for town board in 2001, renouncing a lifelong loyalty to the Republican Party for the first time.
The Democrats "were the ones that asked," she said. "But I really believed in what they were saying, to preserve land, to continue good planning. In 2001, we were again seeing a push. It was a time of a lot of money; people wanted to develop out here."
Perhaps because the 2001 election closely followed the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, "it wasn't a time when people were saying 'Let's try something new,' " Ms. Overby said. "All the incumbents won."
This time around, Ms. Overby, who is also running on the Working Families line, said the campaigning process is quite different, marked by more intensive publicity.
"The exposure has grown significantly," she said. "There are more newspapers, including online, there are more debates, LTV has gotten a lot bigger. . . . People want information every single day. People blog, people respond immediately, they don't wait to write a letter to the editor. In some ways it takes away from standing at the grocery store and talking to people. In some ways it makes you less visible."
Ms. Overby decided to run again in the hope of refocusing the town board's efforts toward "good planning" for East Hampton, making sure that new development will not impinge upon or erode the local environment, which the local economy so depends on, she said.
"I was very concerned with the professionals I saw in the Planning Department not being consulted on issues for the town," she said. "Their expertise was not being used. This administration does not like planning for some reason. The reason we have something to offer is because people see the value of the beaches and the forests and the bays — the wealth of our natural resources. We have to make sure we don't pave it over."
Ms. Overby says she has always been impressed with the level of knowledge and professionalism of the Planning Department, and has worked to understand the codes so she would be well informed.
She says that East Hampton should expand the businesses that have traditionally made money here, such as farming and fishing. "You want things that are consistent with your environment," she said.
While campaigning is people-oriented, which she likes, she said that during her neighborhood walks she has learned some important things just from observing.
"There are too many kids at home in the late afternoons without parents," she said. "There is definitely a need. It's heartwarming and heartbreaking. But, that's what we're supposed to be seeing; that will inform your decisions."
Children are perhaps at the very center of Ms. Overby's "agenda." Raising her two sons, Alec and Andrew, who both graduated from East Hampton High School, here was one of the most rewarding experiences she's had, she said.
"I've had the most fun having my kids in school here," she said. "The Amagansett School has such small classes and there is so much diversity, not only with the children, but with the classes offered. I was at every soccer, track and field event and there is that great feeling of knowing all the parents, kids, and teachers. Of all the activities I've done, I think I enjoyed that the most — getting to know the community."


text: Hello everyone, I have been using a VPS for my CMS's (Joomla,SugarCRM and OpenAds) I recently moved to a shared hosting using litespeed, and it was incredible! I have never seen my site load so quickly and I was very . Unfortunately, my CPU usage was high, so they had to shut my site off and suggested I move to a dedicated server. SO this was the price I was quoted: Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Dual Core 2GB DDR2-667 Memory 2x 250GB SATA 7,200RPM HDD Hardware RAID 1 1,500GB Premium Data Transfer 100mbit/s port $369 per month, with $249 setup. * Fully Managed (24x7x365 monitoring & support) * Free DirectAdmin License * Free LiteSpeed License * Free 20GB Remote Backup At the moment, I don't have the budget for this. So I wanted to know as a real novice with only a resellers cpanel experience, if I would be able to easily install litespeed and manage it myself. Question 1) What type of server would i need to lease( Managed Server, Private Server?) 2) What other software must I install with litespeed? 3) Is it easy to manage for a novice? 4) which License do I need? Thank you in advance!


text: The Recreation Commission is looking to renovate a skate park next to Scituate High that has fallen into disrepair. According to commission chairman Chris Roberts, officials hope to ask for Community Preservation Committee funding at a future Town Meeting to install lights at the space. After that, the group would start designing a new park. Funding for the park components would be a mix of private donations and CPC funds. "The park was donated by a resident of town in the late '90s, a very generous donation, but it's become dangerous in some places," Roberts said. "It's in dire need of repair and upgrading. It's becoming a safety issue and a performance issue." Roberts didn't know the exact cost of the lighting request, but noted that it would be part of a request to light athletic fields at the high school.
