The Securities Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") disclosure standards normally do not permit the inclusion of information concerning "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" or "inferred mineral resources" or other descriptions of the amount of mineralization in mineral deposits that do not constitute "reserves" by U.S., unless such information is required to be disclosed by the law of the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation or of a jurisdiction in which its securities are traded. U.S. investors should also understand that "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Disclosure of "contained ounces" is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

The Field Memorial Library is the library for the town of Conway, Massachusetts. It was built in 1900 by Marshall Field (1834-1906). Field was born in Conway. In 1851 he moved to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where he worked in a dry goods store, and five years later moved to the west and settled in Chicago. There, he got a job at the dry goods store of Potter Palmer. It grew, and in 1860 Field was named junior partner. By 1865, Palmer decided to move full-time into real estate and he sold the store to Field and L.S. Leiter. In 1868, Field moved his store into a huge new building built by Palmer, and although it burned in the Great Fire of 1871, he quickly rebuilt. At the time of his death, he had purchased an entire city block in downtown Chicago and was building an eleven-story, block-sized shopping emporium. Near the end of his life, with a net worth estimated at $100 million, Field became a philanthropist, giving $8 million to build the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and building this elegant library in his hometown .

Histrionic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people act in a very emotional and dramatic way that draws attention to themselves.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Cause of histrionic personality disorder is unknown. Genes and early childhood events may be responsible. It is diagnosed more often in women than in men. Doctors believe that more men may have the disorder than are diagnosed.
Histrionic personality disorder usually begins by late teens or early 20s.
People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and at work.
Symptoms include:
- Acting or looking overly seductive
- Being easily influenced by other people
- Being overly concerned with their looks
- Being overly dramatic and emotional
- Being overly sensitive to criticism or disapproval
- Believing that relationships are more intimate than they actually are
- Blaming failure or disappointment on others
- Constantly seeking reassurance or approval
- Having a low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification
- Needing to be the center of attention (
- Quickly changing emotions, which may seem shallow to others
Signs and tests
Histrionic personality disorder is diagnosed based on a psychological evaluation that assesses the history and severity of the symptoms.
The health care provider can diagnose histrionic personality disorder by looking at the person's:
- Overall appearance
Psychological evaluation
People with this condition often seek treatment when they experience depression or anxiety from failed romantic relationships or other conflicts with people. Medicine may help the symptoms. Talk therapy is the best treatment for the condition itself.
Expectations (prognosis)
Histrionic personality disorder can improve with talk therapy and sometimes medicines. Left untreated, it can cause problems in people's personal lives and prevent them doing their best at work.
Histrionic personality disorder may affect a person's social or romantic relationships. The person may be unable to cope with losses or failures. The person may change jobs often because of boredom and not being able to deal with frustration. A person with this disorder craves new things and excitement, which leads to risky situations. All of these factors may lead to a higher chance of depression.
Calling your health care provider
See your health care provider or mental health professional if you or someone you know has symptoms of histrionic personality disorder.

New York — Town Sports International (TSI) reported a 7.9 percent increase in revenue in the fourth quarter of last year and a 9.2 percent revenue growth for the year, according to financials released by the company in late February. Fourth quarter 2007 revenue was $118.9 million, up from $110.2 million during the same period in 2006. Revenue for the year was $472.9 million, up from $433.1 million in 2006.
Although net income declined from $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $6 million in the fourth quarter of last year, overall net income increased from $4.6 million in 2006 to $13.6 million last year.
"We are very pleased to report positive results for the fourth quarter and full year and that our strong position in the market and our current business trends are providing us with a favorable outlook despite the current economic conditions," TSI CEO Alex Alimanestianu said in a statement from the company.
The company opened 15 new clubs in 2007. In a call with analysts in late February, Alimanestianu said that the company will be slightly less aggressive in its new club openings in 2008, planning just 11 new clubs instead of the 15 new clubs originally announced. Instead, the company will "focus on selected operations initiatives and dedicate capital to several corporate projects," he said in the call.
He also said that the company would invest in a multi-year program to upgrade its enterprise management IT system and a new laundry facility in New York to serve more than 100 clubs. The new laundry facility will save the company $1.5 million to $2 million per year beginning in the second quarter of 2009.
TSI is also testing a new membership consultant hiring and compensation program in four Washington, DC, clubs. The new program is designed to attract and retain more qualified sales employees and to enable the clubs to operate and achieve their sales targets with fewer, more productive consultants, Alimanestianu says.
He also says that the company is still searching for a new chief operating officer. The position has been empty since Randall Stephen left the company in January.
Membership revenue increased from $91.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $99.2 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Overall, membership revenue increased 8.8 percent, from $355.7 million in 2006 to $386.9 million last year.
TSI estimates that revenue in 2008 will be in the range of $510 million to $520 million, representing a growth of 8 percent to 10 percent. The growth will be driven primarily by club membership and ancillary revenue growth, and the maturation of recently opened clubs and new clubs.
The company's stock is at one of its lowest points since the company went public almost two years ago, closing at $7.50 on March 26. The company has a $310.5 million debt and is facing at least one class action lawsuit by employees over pay.
TSI does business under the brand names New York Sports Clubs, Boston Sports Clubs, Washington Sports Clubs and Philadelphia Sports Clubs.

So yeah, while these rules work and I especially like weapons not having ranges, I think they could use some work...
For instant, lack of range limitations makes movement kind of moot point for anything besides ramming.
What I suggest is adding "Railguns" to the standard weapons list, then altering "Burst Cannons" into their polar opposite.
These "Flak Cannons" still have the burst effect of potentially damaging any craft within three inches of a target, but also suffer from damage falloff if the target is more then a certain distance away.
Also would be good just outright remove length restrictions on Ship Classes, and maybe somehow standardize CP cost with Fleet Points instead.

Like my last post, the following entry comes from the minutes of Cambuslang Old Kirk Session (NAS Ref.: CH2/415/7).
It details what was expected of the church officer at Cambuslang in return for his salary of £12 10s a year (about £603 in today's money according to the currency converter on the TNA website).
Session House, Parish ChurchCambuslang, 1st May 1876.
The clerk laid upon the table a note from Mr George Muir specifying his income as church officer. It was agreed to augment his salary to £12 10/- a year on the following conditions; - that he have the church washed out from time to time, and especially immediately preceding the sacrament; that he sweep out every pew every week, and carefully dust it every Saturday afternoon, minister's pulpit and precentor's desk included; that the sheep droppings be removed from the walks every Sabbath morning; that the remains of old coffins be in future kept out of sight; that no ashes or dross be laid down on the northern corner between the vestry and the church; that said corner be levelled down and improved; that brushes and all other articles be removed from the front lobby; that he take the collection to the treasurer every Monday; that he wear a white tie when on duty as becomes his office; and that the church and its surroundings generally be kept tidy and in good order; also, that he undertake the cleaning of the Industrial School, which is to be swept out every school day and dusted the following morning; that the floor be washed every Saturday during school time; and that he kindle the fire during the winter. Salary to date from 15th May next.
The clerk was instructed to provide a brush for the school, and permission was accorded him to get a japanned tin box for the session books and records, two crimson cloths for the collection plates, and printed boards for the special collections.

Know Your Cowboy
With training camp coming to an end and the Boys departing San Antonio for the comfy confines of their new palace, I thought this would be a good time to write the first of what could be many brief bios of current Cowboy players. Just a little something to help the fans get to know your Cowboys a little better.
As I sit here and try to pick one of the many Cowboys to start with, I am watching Fridays preseason game versus the Titans. I just watched a beautiful nine minute eleven second, 90 yard drive end in a Marion Barber 1 yard plunge into the end zone for the first score of the game. This was a thing of beauty, a long drive mixing in a bit of Romo to Roy Williams and some pounding by the Barbarian, a sign of things to come for the season no doubt.
So it would seem the obvious player to start with would be Marion Barber after taking his stroll into the end zone. But … yes I did say but, I am also reading up on some of the players on the roster and I realize I do not know much about this years first draft pick, albeit a third round draft pick, but still our first draft pick.
With their first overall selection of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys chose Jason Williams in the third round (69th overall). This 6 foot 1 inch 238 pound Linebacker out of Western Illinois is expected to be a starter (and a good one) on Special Teams and compete for the Nickle and Dime Linebacker positions, as well as be in the mix for substitutions in the regular defense.
In his college career he was a disruptive player tallying 14 forced fumbles, 289 tackles and 15 sacks. In 2008 he set a school record with 6 forced fumbles in one season and was voted an All-America first-team selection by The NFL Draft Report, The Sporting News, Associated Press, the Sports Network, College Sporting News and the American Football Coaches Association.
In his senior year last year he recorded 67 of his tackles (39 solo) and 4 sacks, showing that as he got older he got better. Hopefully as he transitions into the NFL he will continue to improve his game play and his numbers. This kid has strength and speed and in a few years you probably will see him replace Brookings or someone else as a starter in the defense. The Cowboys may have gotten themselves a steal with this stud.
Oh and by the way, another rushing touchdown, this one by Felix the Great, has the Cowboys up 14-10 at half time.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati won't have to face battery and stalking charges stemming from a 2013 confrontation with an ex-boyfriend under an agreement announced Monday.
Mike Edmondson, spokesman for the Palm Beach County state attorney's office, said the charges were dropped in exchange for Capriati's completion of 30 hours of community service and four hours of anger management counseling.
Court documents show Capriati attended the anger management sessions last week and did her community service at Florida Hospital Pepin Heart Institute in Tampa. The charges are misdemeanors.
"Those are standard conditions for a deferred prosecution," Edmondson said.
Capriati, 37, had been accused of punching former boyfriend Ivan Brannan at a North Palm Beach gym last Valentine's Day and of stalking him for months before that. One of Brannan's co-workers told police that Capriati had tried to enter a locked door at the business and sometimes called up to 50 times a day.
A professional at age 13, Capriati is an International Tennis Hall of Fame member who was a gold medalist at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Her career was interrupted in the mid-1990s after her arrest on shoplifting and marijuana charges, but she returned to win the French and Australian Opens. In all, Capriati won 14 singles tournaments.
Capriati's attorney did not immediately return an email message seeking comment.

You probably knew that literary superstar Junot Díaz is a big fan of science fiction and fantasy, but did you know he's written a couple of science fiction novels that never saw the light of day? Talking to Geeks' Guide to the Galaxy, Díaz explains that he wrote a far-future novel in the vein of Gene Wolfe, called Shadow of the Adept, and a post-apocalyptic Akira-esque adventure called Dark America. But he's not a fast enough writer to be able to juggle the literary novels and the genre books as he'd always hoped. Now, he's working on a third SF project — a novel about giant zombies, set in Haiti. Giant zombies, people. Let's pester Junot Díaz until he delivers! [Wired]

Not many car shows, let alone geographic locations, ring true to their "ultimate luxury" prowess like the Top Marques show held in Monaco every year. What's viewed by most of the living planet earth as the wealthy people's playground, Monaco is a principality that still holds its royalty in high regard as well as its inhabitants. Take one look at the main harbor and yachts larger than many middle class family homes fill the docks and overshadow local cafes.
Our hosts for the weekend, Vredestein Premium Styling, showed us around a world that many dream about and few actually live out. We hear that's a mere 1% of the world population that does enjoy the lavish environment Monaco has to offer. Nonetheless, it never hurts to pay a visit to the city where legends are born and dreams are coveted.
During our stay we attended opening day of the 10th annual Top Marques Monaco luxury showcase. The show not only features some of the best and most exclusive luxury vehicles on the planet but also hosts displays of yacht companies, watch makers, fashion boutiques, artists and even new technology gadgets that every millionaire should add to their collection.
While The Grimladi Forum is a modest size in comparison to many trade shows we are accustomed to, err... SEMA, it certainly doesn't lack in presence. While each manufacturer displays anywhere between one to five cars only, you can loose a sense of scale when entering the jam packed room. The glass ceiling and multitude of showroom lights gleam across exotic brands like Ferrari, McLaren, Pagani and Koenigsegg, all wanting for the attention of the media and prospective buyers. Each brand brings special edition models, exclusive packages, new product and even bigger price tags. Seems like a fitting place to unveil your new next generation supercar. We found several on display all vying to steal the spot light from halo hypercar the Veyron.
Tuning companies also showcase their latest line up additions including Hamann, Mansory, TechArt and ABT, each displaying some of their best work to date. Mansory decided to bring out their big guns with their exclusive carbon fiber aero dynamic kit for Ferrari's new F12 Berlinetta. While the look of surgical white and carbon fiber is always a winning combination in our book, Manory's F12 takes their carbon concept and pushes it into a realm of next gen storm trooper. Combine its new found looks with a performance package that boost the potent factory 740hp V12 engine to 775 with an ECU flash and free flowing exhaust system and you have a punch Darth Vader could be jealous of.
ABT develops some of the best tuning prodcuts for V.A.G. models the world has ever seen. While some we may never see here in the States, there are some we can certainly drool over. Take for example their RS5-R and R8 GTR models. Each is equipped with a hyper developed aerodymaic body kit, including a Le Mans inspired plexi-glass lightweight rear window panel. Not to mention a slight message in the engine compartment and exhaust system to get each cars respectable engine singing the right tune. The R8 GTR will be produced in a limited 25 examples and comes with a boost from 525hp to 620hp and weighs a 220 lb. lighter than showroom floor models.
Hamann unveiled a few new things during the show, including their chrome painted, not wrapped, M6 Coupe fitted not only with its unique widebody aero-kit but also its new Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R co-branded tires. Vredestien is dipping its toes into the waters of Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire pool. Their partnership with legendary design house, Giugiaro, and now with Hamann helps push the companies Premium Styling brand into the competitive world of luxury performance.
Koenigsegg took the opportunity to let their Agera S Hundra gleam in the limelight. Its meticulously hand laid body panels and even carbon wheels accented by gold engine turned graphics helped set a new standard in exotic car details and refinement. This had us drooling and ogling nearly all day. We kept begging for a ride but seeing as we were in a group of young adolescence asking for the same thing our chances were pretty slim.
Finding some time to pull our selves away from the lavish vehicles we have come to idolize we strolled through the halls of other exhibits during Top Marques. Everything from champagne bottle made from carbon fiber to iPod speaker docks fabricated from racing exhaust headers, there was something for everybody with money to burn.
Adding to the list of things you must own in this lifetime was a jet powered surfboard from the good people at JetSurf. Yes, a jet powered surfboard capable of speeds around 30mph on water while standing on it. The use of a two-stroke 86cc or 100cc engine can rocket you across any lake or body of water for nearly two hours.
Not too far from the JetSurf display was a hydraulic simulator company that promoted further investigation. What we discovered and as many of our oversea counterparts have already known is that Ellip6 is a simulator paradise in France that doubles as a restaurant and lounge while awaiting your turn at their hyper-advanced hydraulic simulators. You can experience racing in the F1 arena, a rally stage or even some combat helicopter missions.
Nearing the end of our day at Top Marques we were treated to a memorable experience. A drive in the new Hamann SLS Hawk Roadster along the famed Formula 1 race course. With a some luck from the racing gods we were granted a few wonderful sprints through the tunnel, around La Rasscase and down the front straight. Grabbing the attention of every pedestrian within earshot of the unique Hamann exhaust system.
Top Marques is a show that many dream about attending but would have to find themselves in a situation where telling your boss "I'm going to Monaco for a few days" would make perfect sense. While you search for your excuse we can only hope your said boss has a bit of the car enthusiast gene somewhere in his DNA. Or you can do what we did and said damn the consequences, this is Monaco and it's the one destination on the planet where friend will envy you but also adore you for taking the opportunity. Witnessing fairy tale luxury and opulence at its best is something left best told by the Brother's Grimm. For us, a few well placed supercars, some wine and sprint along one of the most historic street courses in the world put us in the mood for champagne and gasoline any time... just not together of course.

Oyako Don
I've always had a soft spot for Japanese cuisine - it's healthy, uses wonderfully fresh ingredients and is bursting with flavor and color. I think it all started when I tasted sushi for the first time in high school. I remember trying to get my parents to appreciate it as much as I did, with little success. My mom is happy with a chirashi at lunch sometimes now (she really likes raw salmon) but I never got them to appreciate much else. I guess there's something about raw fish that doesn't appeal to everyone - much like my love for beef tartare that has given me some strange looks in the past in North America. But my sushi journey continued nontheless - from soft shell crab sushi rolls a couple years ago in Sydney to scallop sashimi from one of my favorite sushi restaurants in Montreal. Good sushi is expensive though, that's a given. A lot of sushi places in Canada try to sell you on the cheaper stuff, but I really don't like it. The cream cheese and sun-dried tomato sushi I've seen is just not my thing... neither is most of the mayonnaise-based rolls with very little fish. So, it turns out that I have been spending more than advised on really good sushi.
Ordering Oyako Don is a great option for those times when you can't spend too much on sushi rolls. You can indulge on a few pieces of sushi as an appetizer, and get a comforting bowl of Japanese rice with sweet mirin-licked onions, tender chicken and egg. The taste of this dish is so very unique - it's sweet and salty, with layers of flavor coming from dashi stock, soy sauce and mirin. It's really, really delicious. Oliver and I tried to make it at home a few times, and I think we've come pretty close to what we get at the restaurant. And the best part? It's ready in 20 minutes (I guess that sounds a little Rachel-Ray like, but you get the point).
Oyako Don (serves 4)
2 cups of sushi rice, cooked
1 white onion, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 cup of dashi stock
2 teaspoons of mirin
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 pinch of brown sugar
4 chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into bite size pieces
2 green onions, sliced
3 eggs, beaten
Heat a little vegetable oil in pan on medium heat and add the onions. Add the dashi, mirin, soy sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Add the chicken. Cover and cook for 7-8 minutes - stirring a few times. Add the green onions and stir. Pour the beaten eggs over the chicken and onion mixture in an even layer. Cover and cook until the egg is just set.
Serve over Japanese rice. Enjoy!

I've only recently started to like sushi. We never had fish when I was growing up so I just didn't like the taste of it, but gradually I've actually become a fish lover. Sushi was still the thing I didn't like but recently I discovered that it's actually not so bad... :) This Oyako Don sounds perfect and I love the photo! Just beautiful!

Good sushi at a reasonable price is hard to find in Canada. In Calgary, there's one place, but you're sure to spend over $50/person! This dish looks great, I love going beyond the rolls when I explore Japanese cuisine :)

Bruh it was sad, it should've been much worse but the Offense was s'ing itself everytime in the redzone.
jkitsune wrote:Kearly - I've been thinking the same thing about KP's performance. He was inaccurate all night, and many of his TDs were either swing passes or inaccurate throws hauled in by good receivers. He had a great game statistically, and he generally made sound decisions, but I did not think he looked particularly good tonight. I was hesitant to bring it up since I figured I'd get lambasted for being so picky when the dude throws 5 TDs.
Col is bad, but I'm glad they're in the pac-12. Every other team in the nation gets to pad its stats with cupcake games, why shouldn't we?
How is Kasen Williams over-rated? The guy has been a very good receiver this year, a good downfield blocker, has struggled at times with drops, but has also been a big-play option in many games where ASJ was conspicuously absent. ASJ is the overall better player, but for a true sophomore, I'm perfectly satisfied with KW's performance (even if I wish he were a true superstar like ASJ). Mickens is a true freshman. ASJ is a true sophomore. This is a really young group of pass-catchers, and yeah, we need to bring in more talented young pass-catchers, but I would not at all be surprised to see Mickens and Williams perform much better next year. I seem to recall that Kearse wasn't always such a hot receiver, either.
Additionally, how much is Williams' production limited by the lack of pass protection along the UW line? And KP's bailing on the pocket even when not under pressure? I think it was you that advocated for giving KP some more of the benefit of the doubt until the line solidifies, but doesn't the same apply equally to deep threat wideouts if the deep passing game has been eliminated from the playbook?

In 1898, the current meaning of casse-croûte - a simple meal that workers would have during their lunch break or travelers on their journey - appeared for the first time in the French dictionary. Generally speaking, a casse-croûte represents a light meal, or simply a sandwich. This very common French term carries a sense of simplicity and conviviality that people naturally associate with bread.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler will be joined by Nebraska's First Lady Sally Ganem, Lincoln Public Schools (LPS) Superintendent Susan Gourley, LPS Board of Education members and students in celebrating "International Walk to School Day" Wednesday, October 7. A celebration is planned for 2:45 p.m. at an all-school assembly at McPhee Elementary, 820 Goodhue Blvd. The annual event promotes pedestrian safety, physical activity and concern for the environment.
About 20 children are injured in pedestrian accidents each year in Lincoln," said Mayor Beutler. "Getting students to school safely is a top priority for City and school district officials, as well as parents. This international event promotes the health benefits of walking, which also decreases motor vehicle traffic at schools. We need the help of the entire community to accomplish our goal of getting all children to and from school safely.
International Walk to School Day is sponsored locally by the Safe Kids Lincoln-Lancaster County Coalition. More information on Safe Kids is available on the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: safekids). Federal Express is a national sponsor for the event.
At McPhee, the Mayor will issue a proclamation, and then he and other guests will serve as an honorary crossing guards. As part of International Walk to School Day, pedestrian countdown timers have been installed at the traffic signal at 16th and "G" streets to help students safely cross the street.
Recommended walking routes are available from the City Web site, lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: schools); the LPS Web site at lps.org; and school principals. Parents are encouraged to contact the principal if a plan has not been developed for their child's school. The City also works with LPS every year on the "Safe Walk and Safe Ride to School Night" in August, and the Police Department conducts a back-to-school enforcement project at the beginning of every school year.

Insurance Companies Suck!
We are working with a law firm to create a blog of horror stories people get when working with different insurance companies and offering people the opportunity to find out how much their claim is really worth.
This logo should be a loud eye catching bold logo.
People who come to this blog have been injured and dealt with a very annoying insurance company and want to yell "Insurance companies suck!" We will deal with Mostly car insurance claims but also work too probably.
I want the logo to look in your face with lots of attitude. I think red will be the bold but willing to look at other ideas. Don't really care if there is an icon but not against it -- may be funny to see a person pulling thier hair out or yelling into a phone.
I know I want a really bold font—surprise me.

It's usually considered a critical diss when a reviewer pronounces a movie "less than the sum of its parts." What such a critic means to say, as I understand it, is that despite having a few good ideas or competently shot sequences, a bit of engaging writing or a couple of persuasive performances, the film fails to bring those individually satisfying pieces together in a coherently satisfactory whole. Therefore, in the final summation, the film is crap.
But what if we turn that equation around and solve for its antecedents?
For instance, let us say that movie "x"--where "x" equals the 2005 direct-to-video shot-on-weekends Sasquatchsploitation howler Search of the Beast--is a big steaming pile of cinematic feces. (It sounds cruel, but one can't be sentimental where algebra is concerned.) Laboriously padded out to a feature length of just over 70 minutes, the movie features a two-minute bluegrass music interlude that goes precisely nowhere, a long continuous take of the cast preparing to rappel and then rappelling in real-time, and lots and LOTS of scenes of people wandering around aimlessly through the woods, waiting like the viewer for something--ANYTHING--to happen. The effects are bad, the acting is worse, and the editing and cinematography redefine the term "amateur."
However, where lovers of the MAD are concerned, the movie paradoxically delivers with a few choice scenes, a couple of outre ideas, and occasional hilarious twitches of the narrative skirt that reveal the hairy nude buttocks beneath. In that sense, it's not a slam to say that the sum of Search for the Beast's parts is definitely greater than the whole.
Cut away the aforementioned padding, and the story told in Search for the Beast is a fairly short one. Crypto-anthropologist Dr. David Stone (Rick Montana) is exploring the Okaloosa Wilderness Area (of Florida? Alabama?) in search of (wait for it...) THE BEAST. Of course here "the beast" is a Bigfoot or bigfoot-like creature that legend has it has survived from the time of the ancient Indians to the present day. Though seldom seen, the beast has been blamed for the disappearances of several campers in the Okaloosa Wilderness Area over the last several years.
After Dr. Stone finds the remains of what one can only assume is a stillborn Bigfoot Baby, he is hired by mysterious chemical magnate Milton St. John (David F. Friedman, producer of such exploitation efforts as Trader Hornee, Ilsa She-Wolf of the SS, and 2001 Maniacs) to bring back concrete proof of the creature's existence for a bounty of $100K research money. Unbeknownst to Stone, St. John is not a seeker after hidden knowledge like himself; the old man's son was one of the Beast's recent victims (presumably in the labored and hilarious pre-credits rampage, in which a camper is killed and his nude female bunkmate dragged off into the woods), and St. John is throwing his resources into achieving his grief-stricken vengeance.
After Stone accepts the job, St. John gets on the phone with one of his paramilitary operatives, Jim (Steven Steele) with some very specific instructions: "You round up some rough gazoonies and go along until the doc finds this damn thing! And be sure you take a broad along with you!" Whether the broad is meant to lure the beast or placate the doc is unclear, but a monkey wrench is thrown when community-college research assistant Wendy (Oh?) Williams (Holli Day) ambushes Dr. Stone at his lab and demands he take her along on his search. Once the Jim and the Gazoonies show up, they jump into the back of a repurposed Church Van and head out into the Okaloosa Wilderness Area to track them a Skunk Ape.
Whatever notoriety Search for the Beast possesses comes courtesy Michael Adams, author of the entertaining critical study Showgirls, Teen Wolves, and Astro Zombies: A Film Critic's Year-Long Quest to Find the Worst Movie Ever Made. Adams screened this flick early on in his year of crap, and for many months it held onto his top (or bottom?) spot before being displaced by some late comers. (It's a good book, leaning more toward memoir at times than criticism, but nonetheless full of fun facts and reviews. Get a copy, and thanks to Samuel Wilson for the reading tip!)
While it's far from the worst movie I've ever seen, it's still easy to see why the movie was so hard to displace as Adams' King of the Crap Mountain. With the exception of that pretty respectable Bigfoot Baby above, everything about the production screams "non-professionals at work." Dialogue seems largely improvised by actors who have no talent for it. Pacing issues abound, despite some odd jump cutting--usually to one or two seconds in the future, as if the camera operator let his finger slip from the "REC" button. Scenes peter out and go nowhere; footage loops are reused; incongruous sound effects befuddle. The movie is so horrendously padded, we get more than SEVEN MINUTES of end credits--each character gets a video vingette of footage from the movie, including Dr. Stones DOG AND HORSE. I could go on.
But oh, my parishioners: isn't there enough negativity in the world already?
There's no virtue in refusing to allow oneself to be entertained, and what Search for the Beast lacks in skill and polish, it comes very near to making up with a charming if tragically misguided earnestness. It's not enough to save the film, but it did give me some chuckles along the way, and for that--softie that I am--I can't hate it as others do. So with a beer in your hand, five more (minimum) at your feet, and your finger firmly positioned over your DVD player's "fast-forward" button, come along with me as we pan for mad movie gold in the most unlikely of streams.
Those guys in the photo above are Blind Otis and Crazy Joe, who do their part to pad out the run time with a 2.5 minute version of the bluegrass tune "Cripple Creek." And for what it's worth, they're really quite good. The actor playing the Deliverance-Lite Crazy Joe does a fair Ho1KC "Otis" imitation, if he's even acting; in fact, if the movie were more famous, I wouldn't be surprised if Bill Moseley had instead patterned his character on this performance.
Holli Day as Wendy has one of the most amazing nasal-whine voices I've ever heard in any medium. It starts out as annoying, moves on to grating, and at some point achieves a kind of avant garde musicality. Particularly when she knees rapey Gazoonie Jim in the nuts and emotes, "You try it again and I'll kill you, aight?"
And for what it's worth, living in the South as I do, I have not the tiniest doubt in my mind that "Holli Day" is in fact her birth name.
The term "Gazoonie," which I would bet cash money David F. Freeman created on the spur of the moment while the cameras rolled, is such a magnificent designation--connoting as it does the rough-hewn, somewhat ridiculous but nonetheless formidible truculence of the testosterone-and-beer-addled Southern U.S. male--that I am starting a petition to get it in the god damn dictionary. Also, I will be calling as many people "gazoonie" from henceforth as is linguistically and contextually possible.
Even better, the movie gives us not one, but TWO groups of Gazoonies, as Milton St. John sends a set of reinforcements in after the first group doesn't report back. This second group is even more Gazoonish than the first, sporting t-shirts emblazoned with a giant Rebel Flag, the Insane Clown Posse logo, and the cryptic legend "WIDE F***IN' OPEN," that doubtless came straight from the actors' own closets (and are exactly the gear you'd want for stealthily tracking a Bigfoot through the Okaloosa Wilderness Area).
Also a smile inducer: the second Gazoonie Squadron brings a pack of dogs with them--a pack of dogs we never see, though from the sound of the baying and yelping they must be on loan from a full-on English fox hunt!
I haven't said much about the Bigfoot make-up here, as I'm sure you've noticed. Well, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here's my kilo of verbiage:
The filmmakers boldly envision a Bigfoot who is noticeably shorter than Dr. Stone and the Gazoonies, which tends to...understate the hugeness of the beast. Did they buy a gorilla suit and craft their own mask? Or is the whole apparatus the work of credited effects artist Doug Higley, of Higley's Strange Objects? The world may never know.
Despite the low-to-no-budget limitations, "director" R.G. Arledge manages to convince a couple of his starlets to disrobe for the camera, most brazenly and bravely the enigmatic "Tweetie" (that's her end-credit, not character name), who plays one of a couple of campers unassociated with Dr. Stone's search, who pop up every now and then for no discernable purpose. Though not exactly a knockout (okay, maybe in Okaloosa she is), Tweetie gives her all at a waterfall, disrobing in real time ("SEE! the white sock peeled off and placed neatly on the boulder! WATCH! as the other white sock is treated with similar care!"), tiptoeing gingerly across the creekbed which her gait tells us must be littered with sharp rocks and shattered beer bottles, and then lying sexily in the flow of the stream--or trying her damnedest to, though the look on her face indicates that the water must be FUCKING FREEZING. Probably the most dedicated actress in the piece. Tweetie, I salute you.
Search for the Beast Drinking Game! Here are the rules.
Trust me, you'll enjoy the movie more.
Perhaps the MADDEST ideas are saved for last, probably because as the production dragged on and it became clearer and clearer the incredible margin by which the director's reach would exceed his grasp, Arledge decided to just throw the hammer down. Tweetie and her Juggalo boyfriend--who have been camping in the Okaloosa Wilderness Area without incident for at least two days--appear again, with Tweetie dressed in an incredible piece of lingerie I can only describe as "Mall Santa's Naughty Elf Apprentice." They proceed to get busy doggie-style near an unexplained barrel of chemical waste. (Thankfully, the boyfriend--credited as, I shit you not, "Stupid D. Klown"--keeps his ICP gear *on* for this scene.) Lost in the throes of passion, Tweetie doesn't notice when her boyfriend is rudely shoved aside and a new partner cuts in.
Search for the Beast is a movie that I hated when I watched it, pronouncing it boring, a waste of time, and complete cinematic turd. But as I thought about it more in the days afterward, and remembered all the above-enumerated pieces of MADNESS it so improbably provided, my attitude toward the movie changed, and now I have an honest affection for it. I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone not fully aware of what they're getting into, and thus can't in good conscience give it more than a 1 thumb rating--but if anything here has piqued your interest, and you don't mind fast-forwarding through the many many slow bits, you could find something to smile at. I did, and that's really all I ask for.

I... I can't believe how much I love this write-up. I'm downright cross-eyed from laughter. While I feel bad that you watched what is *clearly* a terrible movie, and that it probably did irreparable damage to your psyche, I've got to say that what you've given the world a generous gift of laughter. You're kind of like a bad-movie-blogging Jesus, Vicar.
I need to know--is THE BEAST ever called a Skunk Ape in the film? I desperately hope the answer is "NO." Because if the answer is "YES," that and the presence of a Juggalo Thespian (dear Juggalos, never change--you are glorious) are making me lean towards seeing this movie (drunk and fast-forwardly, as you've advised--I have no such similar Messiah thang going on).
THANK YOU for brightening my day immeasurably. Amazing stuff, my man.

This brought a stupid grin to my face many, many times. You should be given a medal for making an atrocious-looking film like this sound so enticing and fun to watch! You are truly talented, Mr. Vicar!

@Tenebrous Kate--Thanks so much for the kind words! I guess I can go ahead and purchase my "BIGGER THAN JESUS" t-shirt now, with your kind endorsement! ;)
As to your question, I don't think the OWA Beast is ever referred to as a "skunk ape," but I'm pretty sure the term is mentioned at least once. To watch or not--I leave it up to your conscience and booze budget.
@Al Bruno III--I try to provide only the best for my friends and parishioners! If I have to wade through a bunch of awfulness to come up with one image of an undersized Bigfoot rogering a hapless Tweetie-girl, then by god that's what I'll do!
@Joe Monster--I would wear such a medal with pride! In fact, I'd wear nothing else! Thanks for stopping by and saying nice things. You make the world better by so doing.

Vicar, "gazoonie" looked like carny lingo when I first saw it, and Urban Dictionary confirms my hunch. I suspect the root word is "goon" and that the term applies just as well to the crew that produced this film as to the characters in it. Those Beast scenes reminded me of nothing so much as Surrender Cinema movies, but in those the effects are part of the joke.
I'm glad someone took the dare implicit in Mr. Adams's book. You're a braver soul than I am.

- The Vicar of VHS said...
@Samuel--Educational and informative as always! Thanks for that--whatever disappointment I may have that Friedman *didn't* come up with the term himself, it is considerably allayed by the implied probability that the man himself has a carny history! According to his imdb biography he ran some "hygiene film" road shows early in his career--perhaps that's the carny connection?
Thanks again for pointing me toward Adams' book--I think I'll be getting a few more viewing suggestions from there for coming reviews!

Alas, I don't think I have the stamina for this one -- w/ or w/o the fortification of alcohol. But thank you for your intrepid review, sir.
Is it just me, or does the creature in the cover artwork look like John Astin of "The Addams Family"? Was this a marketing ploy?

Sports Illustrated's Peter King turned his vacation-season "Monday Morning Quarterback" column over to Saints cornerback Jabari Greer this week. And while some of Greer's stories might hard to follow if you haven't had that second cup of coffee, what's clear is the confidence that's clearly flowing from the Saints after a disappointing 2012.
Weathering the bounty scandal, losing their coach, finishing 7-9 and missing the playoffs clearly left a mark on them, and clearly will be used as motivation.
Greer wove a tapestry of Biblical and musical metaphors, and the point is obvious.
"What was not told in the headlines or on the news, however, was the spirit of our men in the locker room," Greer wrote. "Experiencing an unprecedented ordeal in the history of the NFL, our men never wavered. Although our spirit wasn't reflected in the final score of nine of our games, we endured Goliath's wrath last season, and now Goliath has to pay.
"So forgive me if I sound the trumpet of preseason enthusiasm. It was out of tune for a year, in the shop being repaired. This year holds no promise of a better timbre for the orchestra that is the Saints; but now, in our coach, we have our first chair back, and he has brought in a badass sax player in defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, some new songs and some new steps."
So obviously, they're fired up, and ready to go beat on Goliath with a trombone, or something.
They'll need the motivation, as some of the more tangible components still aren't there yet. Ryan makes for good copy, but he doesn't have all the parts in place to run the kind of defense he wants, a problem made worse when pass-rusher Victor Butler was lost for the year with a torn ACL.

Mental Health First Aid ( MHFA) Standard course is an educational course which teaches people how to identify, understand and help a person who may be developing a mental health problem. In the same way as we learn physical first aid, mental health first aid teaches you how to recognise those crucial warning signs of mental ill health. Developed in Australia in 2000 and now internationally recognised in twenty three countries, the MHFA course teaches people how to recognise the signs and symptoms of common mental health issues provide help on a first aid basis and effectively guide those towards the right support services. By learning to recognise the signs that someone may be unwell, you may be able to provide initial help, to guide a person towards appropriate professional help, and in its most powerful form, save a life by learning basic suicide intervention skills.
What will I learn?
MHFA Standard course is split up into 4 manageable chunks. These are:
- What is mental health?
- Suicide
- Anxiety and depression
- Psychosis
In each section you'll learn how to:
- Spot the early signs of a mental health problem
- Feel confident helping someone experiencing a mental health problem
- Provide help on a first aid basis
- Help prevent someone from hurting themselves or others
- Help stop a mental illness from getting worse
- Help someone recover faster - Guide someone towards the right support
- Reduce the stigma of mental health problems
How will I learn?
The MHFA Standard course takes place over two full days and participants must attend both days (12 hours).
The sessions will be a mix of presentation, group discussions and group work activities. We provide a very safe learning environment and are trained to support you throughout the whole course. If you don't feel comfortable joining in certain bits, then don't, we won't make you do something you aren't comfortable with.
Due to some of the sensitive subjects of our courses, including suicide, we limit numbers to 16 people. We want everyone to feel safe and our instructors can help if people find some bits particularly difficult.
You'll receive a MHFA Standard manual that you can take away with you at the end of the course and also an attendance certificate from MHFA England to say you are now Mental Health First Aider.
Who can attend?
The course is simply for everyone! Some of the contents could be quite sensitive and can be upsetting to some so we would only ask you to register if you are over 17 years old (There is a MHFA Course specially for younger participants). We want to ensure that we create a safe and suitable learning environment for all our attendees.
There are many reasons why people might want to train in Mental Health First Aid:
Mental health problems are common, especially depression, anxiety and misuse of alcohol and other drugs. One person in four will experience some form of problem with their mental health in the course of a year.
There is a stigma associated with mental health problems which may hinder people from seeking help. People are often ashamed to discuss mental health problems with family, friends and work colleagues. They may also be reluctant to seek help and support for such problems because of their concerns about what others will think of them.
Many people are not well informed. Understanding how to recognise mental health problems and what effective treatments are available is not widespread. With greater community awareness, people will be able to recognise their own and others' problems and feel more comfortable about seeking assistance.
Help is not always on hand. GPs, counsellors, psychologists and psychiatrists can all assist people with mental health problems. However, just as with accidents and medical emergencies, such assistance is not always available when a problem first arises this is when members of the public can offer immediate aid and support the person to get appropriate help.
People may lack the insight to realise they need help or that help is available. Some mental health problems cloud clear thinking and good decision-making: a person experiencing such problems may not realise that they need help or that effective help is available for them. They may be in a state of distress and not be able to think clearly about what they should do.
Members of the general public often do not know how to respond. In a mental health crisis situation, the helper's actions may determine how quickly the person with the problem gets help and/or recovers.
Those who've done the course include: social care professionals, ambulance staff, staff nurse, family members, foster parents, school teachers, HR and line managers and those with lived experience and many more.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named a scientific ombudsman on Monday to fight back against accusations by Republican lawmakers of being opaque in its scientific findings and not allowing outside parties to review them.
The agency tapped Francesca Grifo to be its first "scientific integrity official."
Grifo is formerly the director of the scientific integrity program at the Union of Concerned Scientists and a director of the Center for Environmental Research at Columbia University.
She will be given the task of coordinating the agency's policies on scientific integrity and chairing a committee devoted to the subject.
"Science is, and continues to be, the backbone of this agency and the integrity of our science is central to the identity and credibility of our work," EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said in a statement.
The agency has for years been criticized by Republican lawmakers who accused the EPA of using "secret science" to justify what the lawmakers see as over regulation that crimps economic growth and costs jobs.
The House of Representatives Science and Technology committee earlier this month brought McCarthy in to testify about the agency's use of scientific information.
David Vitter of Louisiana, the ranking Republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, was unimpressed by Grifo's appointment.
"'Scientific integrity' is a moot point when the science remains secret, no matter who's in this role. There's currently no method to independently analyze or verify their (EPA's) science, or its integrity," said Vitter.
(For the EPA's "Scientific Integrity Policy, see: http://www.epa.gov/osa/pdfs/epa_scientific_integrity_policy_20120115.pdf)

Santa is a cognate of the baby Jebus. Each Christmas, children are asked what they want from Santa, who can be all over the world in three billion nursery rooms almost at the same time every 25th of December, which, coincidentally, happens to be the baby Jebus's birthday, too. In other words, If you believe in me, I will bring you toys. Some guys today believe that if they only believe, Santa will leave them 72 table dancers. I may be an atheist today for figuring out the Santa con game fairly young. It took a bit longer to shake the other guy. I think it was the year Santa left me a pawn shop 8mm camera when I had asked for a new Swiss Bolex. My Mom said, "Santa's poor this year." How would *she* know?
Views: 418
That whole 72 virgins thing is a perfect example of how little critical thinking is a part of embracing religion. Do these imbeciles have enough foresight to envision what day 73 in heaven will be like? That's assuming one virgin per heavenly day, but I suppose these mouth breathers would probably go through several per day upon entering the kingdom of rapists. Or do they just assume that in heaven, hymens magically repair themselves overnight? Do they ever consider what it must be like for a woman to enter their heaven, and have an eternity of painful rape to look forward to?
Is that anything like saying prayers for the hurricane to miss your town when doing so causes it to go onshore somewhere else, harming people there? Har har har.
Somewhere I heard it was a misprint, and it was really 72 raisins. I've since heard that was not true. Possibly chilled raisins - in fact, "white raisins" of "crystal clarity" which would certainly make martyrdom worthwhile. Wouldn't it? Craisins would be even better.
Also in the link, "They shall recline on jewelled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine". Nice! Is it getting warm in here?
"Thank you for killing yourself and twenty other Muslims in your efforts to kill those two infidels. Here are your 72 raisins. You stay here in paradise will be long, so ration them wisely." Allah is stingy.
Interesting article by the way. That kind of information doesn't get much mainstream exposure.
I agree! It could use some exposure in the Muslim world as well. Maybe those little packets of raisins, with selected commentaries on the boxes, dropped from drones over Damascus, Kabul, Cairo, Tehran.....
I first learned of the translational problems when I read Sam Harris's End of Faith. If memory serves, he relegated it to a footnote. I almost fell out of my chair. It has an almost exact cognate with John of Patmos using coded language to throw off Roman legionnaires and traitors to Christianity. By esopsephia, John warned of The Great Beast, which also had number-letter correspondences to Nero Caesar. It's easy to guess who the Scarlet Woman turned out to be. But here's the point: if Jihadists knew that they were to enjoy on 72 white grapes in Paradise, how could it mean a bit of difference if you had been brainwashed into believing that, whatever the reward in the hereafter, Allah wills you to do as we say? In case of Rupture this mind will be empty. The modern evangelical equivalent of the Romans of Nero's day is the Dominionist movement, as hair-brained, grossly unevolved a bunch if ever there was one, dedicated as they are to Nuclear Holocaust between Arabs and Jews.
James, that may have been where I saw it too. Sounds right.
I have some white grapes in my yard. I'd be happy to offer 72 of them to one of those Islamists to, say, declare that it's all a mistake.
Of several things I dislike about Christmas, it's lying to little kids that really gets my goat. I was four when I figured it out, and remain a little pissed-off these many decades on. But perhaps that was a favor of sorts -- at least a hard lesson. Until then it had not occurred to me that adults could be less than trustworthy, which was obviously a naive assumption. For me, their Word had been reality, and so I believed in God and the tooth fairy. It didn't take long to realize that if the sacred Santa was a myth, I was going to have to figure out for myself whether all those other heroes were real or not. And I'd have to do it without relying blindly on authority figures. I knew that I was an atheist by age 6 (giving up on Popeye took a little longer). That made almost every aspect of life harder. I couldn't just assume that Superman would take care of stray asteroids or that I'd go to the "good place" even if I screwed up and then recited the right homilies.
But nearly at the same time I started finding that a harder life lived responsibly is a better one. Had I missed that early revelation; had I grown up in the Bible Belt and among the mystics on the Rez and not questioned authority until dropping a hit of acid at 16, I may never have developed the confidence to think for myself. And so thanks Mom & Dad, you damn liars, for fostering skepticism.
ROFL. Thanks for it.
They are both cons.
I'm glad I am rid of belief in both.
Pat, you will see, has a devious mind. But then the evangelicals say that all of us heathen are full of the Devil. In my defense I must say I can hardly be harmed by an imaginary entity dreamed up by the Priesthood to explain the presence of evil in the world. After this, therefore because of this. If a friend hears of my death, God took me. If an enemy hears of it, they will say I got what I deserved and am now in Hell. Hey, you just cannot win. Sheesh!

awesome.....just paid my $10, thanks Tracy!! Now to get others in the area to sign up!!
I was just pinged about this by a coworker. http://fiber.google.com/about/ My neighborhood isn't eligible. But if you are in one of the eligible neighborhoods, have a need for and can afford $120 a month for HDTV and super fast internet, it's a good idea to preregister. The usual $300 installation fee will be waived if you do sign-up early.
The Google "RV" was at Rosedale today and I tried to get pre-reg'd, but the service wasn't working... I told them that it seem very Ironic... I'm trying to pre-reg from home, but it keeps telling me It cant find my address... At the top in indicates KCK and KCMO, well I live in Roeland Park and I wonder if that's the issue...? Is it gonna be available in JUST KCK and KCMO? Anybody know?

Led by George Washington and French General Comte de Rochambeau, they began their final attack on October 14th, capturing two British defenses and leading to the surrender, just days later, of British General Lord Corwallis and nearly 9,000 troops. Yorktown proved to be the final battle of the American Revolution, and the British began peace negotiations shortly after the American victory.
