WVO Centrifuge Specifications:
WVO Centrifuge comes with pressure gauge, 1/4" ball valve, 2 - 1/4" brass tees, 2 - 1/4" brass hose barbs, and 1/4" close nipple.
The flow rate capacity of the wvo centrifuge is .93 GPM or 55 gallons per hour. The wvo centrifuge measures 4" in diameter by 6.5" tall. Rotor is capable of holding 10.5 oz. of contaminants. One 55 gallon drum of WVO will take approximately 60 minutes to process. The viscosity is the critical part of this equation. Waste vegetable oil centrifuges generates at 85 PSI a centrifugal force 2,000 times greater than gravity at 7500 RPM. You need to purchase a 1/3HP motor with pump for the wvo centrifuge operation. The wvo centrifuge will filter wvo, filter wmo, filter hydraulic oil, filter gear oil or dewater biodiesel. The wvo centrifuge will remove magnesol with more than one pass necessary. At the end of the process, you can also remove glycerin, which requires no heating. More than one pass may be needed. You can build a centrifuge for wvo filtration system with this unit.
Centrifuge waste vegetable oil for WVO diesel, or the waste oil centrifuge for motor oil as fuel. Oil centrifuges are used in the alternative fuels market for cleaning WVO, WMO, and other biofuels. To make biodiesel you need to process vegetable oil or you can filter your waste vegetable oil or waste motor oil to below .5 micron by centrifuge filtering and use as fuel for your diesel run vehicle or equipment.
All internal centrifuge parts certified nickel plated to prevent rust and corrosion.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone else out there has the Midland All Hazards Weather Alert Radio WR-100. My first question concerns the types of "headlines" that will set it off. I notice there is a light for "warning" "watch" and "advisory". Just curious if it's going to be going off for fog, winter weather and severe summertime weather, too. Also, has anyone had any problems with it? Are you happy with it? Thanks!
I wish every day was either a PDS Tornado Watch or a Blizzard Warning...or both.

I just purchased the Midland WR-300, so it might have some differences from yours..but mine enables you to pick and choose which weather events you wish to hear the audible tone for and which you'd prefer not to (flood watch, freeze warning, etc. in my case). The alerts in which you shut off the audible tone still have one of the three lights you mentioned illuminate and the alert is also written on the screen.
The best part in my opinion is the ability to set the radio to only go off for the specific counties you designate based on the NOAA SAME codes. No more waking up in the middle of the night for a storm 65 miles away. The instructions for this were in the manual.
All in all it was a long process to get it programmed the way I like but now I'm glad I took the time. We'll see how it performs in the severe weather season.
Everything will be ok in the end.
If it's not ok, it's not the end.

I have an old one. I used to listen to them a lot before I found NOAA websites.
Can you find me at the other place?

Car bomb kills 4 in Pakistan, another defused
ISLAMABAD—A car bomb aimed at a Pakistani Shiite politician missed him but killed four other people Tuesday, hours after police defused an explosives-laden vehicle near the house where ex-leader Pervez Musharraf is being held, in the latest signs of simmering unrest in the country.
Police in the capital were investigating how a car with a bomb inside managed to approach Musharraf's house. It was found parked about 150 meters (500 feet) from the main gate of Musharraf's house on the outskirts of the city, said Islamabad police chief Bani Amin. The former military strongman was home at the time.
Musharraf is being held under house arrest in connection with a case involving his decision to fire senior judges while in power.
Musharraf seized power in a military coup in 1999 when he was army chief but was forced to step down in 2008 because of growing discontent with his rule. He returned last month to make a political comeback, but his fortunes have gone from bad to worse since then.
He was met with paltry public support and a raft of legal challenges, including the case that has him under house arrest. He has been barred from running in the May 11 parliamentary election for which he returned.
On the eve of his arrival, the Taliban issued a video saying they had put together a special group of militants to kill Musharraf. He was attacked several times while he was in power, but he managed to escape unharmed.
The Taliban have targeted Musharraf because of his alliance with the United States in fighting Islamic militants while in power and for his decision to launch a raid in 2007 on a mosque in downtown Islamabad that had become a sanctuary for militants opposed to Pakistan's support for the war in Afghanistan. At least 102 people were killed in the weeklong operation, most of them supporters of the militants.
The car bombing in southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday hit Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. The bomber targeted Abdul Khaliq Hazara, head of the Hazara Democratic Party, said police officer Fiyaz Sumbal. The Shiite politician was not harmed, but four people were killed and 26 wounded, said Sumbal. The dead were two paramilitary soldiers and two passers-by.
Sunni Muslim militants in Pakistan have increasingly targeted minority Shiites, whom they consider heretics, especially in Baluchistan.
Elsewhere in Quetta, four small bombs exploded in different commercial areas of the city, wounding 12 people, said Sumbal.
In the southern city of Karachi, unknown assailants threw a homemade bomb at an election office run by the Muttahida Quami Movement, killing two people and wounding eight, police officer Amir Farooqi said. The party has been threatened by the Taliban in the run-up to the election.—Munir Ahmed

Changing game: This year's Final Four filled with contrasting styles, players and coaches
This year's Final Four will be filled with contrasts.
One of the biggest will be in the second national semifinal between Kentucky and Wisconsin in North Texas on Saturday.
The Wildcats are athletic, play fast and run past opponents. The Badgers are much more deliberate, hounding teams defensively, then working for the perfect shot.
Kentucky also relies on seven freshmen. On the other side of the bracket is Florida, which has four seniors who had played 400 games before one of the young Wildcats had ever played one.
Wisconsin has a unique big man in long-range-shooting 7-footer Frank Kaminsky, who plays a different game than Florida's powerful Patric Young.
There also are two coaches who are Final Four regulars and two who will be there for the first time.

Car Comparison
2013 vs. 2014 Toyota Highlander: What's the Difference?
Nearly 15 years ago, Toyota introduced the Highlander, and it has been a hit with American families ever since. Now, a redesigned, third-generation 2014 Toyota Highlander is on sale, giving consumers a fresh option to consider when cross-shopping models in the popular midsize crossover SUV class.
If you find yourself at the local Toyota dealer investigating the new 2014 Highlander and you decide it might be better to save some money by choosing a discounted 2013 model, or even a certified pre-owned example of the previous version, it helps to know the difference between the old Highlander and the redesigned 2014 Highlander. We'll explain what's changed in the sections that follow.
Continuing as a midsize crossover SUV, the 2014 Toyota Highlander rides on the same wheelbase as before but is almost three inches longer and more than half-an-inch wider than the model it replaces. Ground clearance is unchanged at 8 inches, but the 2014 Highlander's approach angle is shallower, so watch the front end if you decide to try off-roading.
The most obvious departure in styling is the flared grille design and the high-mounted wraparound headlights, which are enhanced with LED running lights on the Highlander Limited model. Around back, the new Highlander's protruding taillights and trapezoidal styling themes recall the smaller RAV4. Additionally, the rear lift gate now features height adjustment, and the optional power lift gate can be programmed to open to varying heights so that it doesn't hit lower garage ceilings or other obstructions.
If the new 2014 Highlander's exterior styling appears to be cut from the same general cloth as other midsize crossover SUVs, the interior gets a dramatic upgrade over the old Highlander in materials and design. In fact, Toyota claims the new Highlander's cabin "will raise the bar in its segment."
To raise the bar, the 2014 Highlander features soft-touch dashboard and upper-door panel materials, a new premium headliner, and standard front and rear air conditioning. A new center console serves double-duty as an armrest and as a storage spot large enough to conceal a large purse, and Toyota has also made numerous changes to make the 2014 Highlander's cabin quieter.
The Highlander's second-row seat drops its 40/20/40 split design with its Center Stow seat and Center Stow console in favor of a more traditional 60/40 split arrangement. New second-row captain's chairs are standard for the Limited, separated by a side table in the middle.
To enhance access to the third-row seat, Toyota installs a one-step, second-row sliding seat function that adds three additional inches of clearance for more graceful entry and exit. Additionally, the new Highlander enjoys a 3.3-inch gain in third-row hip room, while shoulder room is unchanged, and both legroom and headroom see slight reductions compared to last year. Nevertheless, Toyota says the third-row seat now holds three people, giving the SUV an 8-passenger maximum capacity rating. The third-row seat also switches from a 50/50 split design to a 60/40 split design in the new Highlander.
Cargo space behind the third-row seat has improved, now measuring 13.8 cu ft. Space behind the second-row seat is unchanged at 42.3 cu ft, but the old Highlander could carry 95.4 cu ft of cargo with all the seats folded down. The new one can handle no more than 83.7 cu ft of your stuff.
The 2014 Highlander's powertrains are essentially the same as last year, except for two main differences. The first is that the optional 3.5-liter V6 is now paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission rather than the previous model's 5-speed automatic. As a result, fuel economy improves from 20 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving to 21 mpg for the 2014 Highlander with front-wheel drive, and from 19 mpg in the old Highlander to 20 mpg in the new one when equipped with all-wheel drive.
Speaking of all-wheel drive, the second change is the new Dynamic Torque Control AWD system that is available with the V6 engine. Under normal driving conditions, it sends all the engine power to the SUV's front wheels. When accelerating, or when the front wheels slip, the AWD system engages, continuously varying power distribution up to a 50:50 front-to-rear split. The driver can also push an AWD Lock button to lock the power split evenly between the front and rear wheels. Toyota says the system relies on sensors that monitor vehicle speed, accelerator pedal angle, steering angle, driver steering inputs and the Highlander's yaw rate to distribute power most effectively among the SUV's four wheels.
All Highlanders get a new double-wishbone rear suspension design, quicker steering and larger standard wheels. The SUV can still tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, but the maximum payload rating drops from 1,755 pounds for the old model to 1,455 pounds for the new model.
Last year, the old Highlander was offered in base, Plus, SE, Limited, Hybrid and Hybrid Limited trim levels. For 2014, the lineup changes to LE, LE Plus, XLE, Limited and Hybrid Limited models.
A Platinum Package for the Limited models adds a new panoramic sunroof, a new heated steering wheel, new heated second-row captain's chairs and several safety-related technologies. Other new features for the 2014 Highlander include second-row window sunshades (XLE), LED ambient lighting (Limited) and ventilated front seats (Limited). Triple-zone automatic climate control, formerly reserved for the Limited model, is offered on all but the base LE variant.
As is common when vehicles are completely redesigned, the new 2014 Toyota Highlander offers a greater array of technologies than the previous-generation model. Standard equipment now includes a multi-information display for the gauge cluster, a USB 2.0 port and an advanced voice-recognition system. Upgrade to the LE Plus trim level for HD Radio, as well as for HD Traffic and HD Weather reports.
The Highlander XLE is equipped with a new, larger 8-in split-display touchscreen infotainment system featuring navigation, Entune AppSuite technology and a Driver Easy Speak voice amplification system. The system displays Gracenotes album art, predictive HD Traffic and a Doppler radar weather overlay for the map. Toyota also includes its Smart Key entry system for the XLE model, and offers a new Blu-Ray rear-seat DVD entertainment system as an option.
A new 12-speaker JBL Greenedge premium sound system is exclusively offered for the 2014 Highlander Limited model.
One area where the previous-generation Highlander came up short, aside from interior materials quality, was with safety technology. That's not an issue for the 2014 Highlander, which is equipped with a new front passenger's seat cushion airbag and a reversing camera as standard equipment, and adds rear parking-assist sensors and a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert on the Limited model.
The problem is that Toyota reserves most of the safety technology for the most expensive version of the 2014 Highlander, and then makes much of it optional in a Driver Technology Package that costs an extra $1,400. This upgrade installs Automatic High Beam Headlights, Lane Departure Alert, a Pre-collision System with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and subscription-based Safety Connect technology, providing Automatic Collision Notification and Emergency Assistance service, among other features.
Though the 2014 Toyota Highlander is about the same size as before and equipped with the same engines as last year, it is a much more sophisticated vehicle than the SUV it replaces. Unless reductions in maximum cargo volume and payload capacity concern you, the 2014 Highlander is worth serious consideration over the old model.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Tyrone Garland banked home a scooping layup with 2 seconds left and 13th-seeded La Salle beat Mississippi 76-74 on Sunday, vaulting the Explorers to their deepest run in the NCAA tournament since they played for the championship in 1955.
Ramon Galloway had 24 points for La Salle (24-9), which was playing its third game in five days. No. 12 Ole Miss (27-9) led 74-72 with 1:58 left but failed to reach the regional semifinals for the first time since 2001.
After Tyreek Duren's two foul shots tied it 74-all at the 1:07 mark, Marshall Henderson failed to hit an off-balance bank shot that would have given Mississippi the lead.
Henderson had 21 points in game with 11 lead changes.
Duren had 19 points for La Salle and Garland had 17.
Murphy Holloway had 14 points for Mississippi, which fell one win shy of breaking the school record. Jarvis Summers had 12 and Nick Williams had 10 for the Rebels, who were a miserable 10 for 21 from the foul line.

Medication type: Prescription-only, the synthetic form of one of thethyroid hormones called "T4".
Active ingredient: Levothyroxine Sodium
Dosage form: Tablet
Manufacturer: Virbac
Major use: For the treatment of hypothyroidism.
How it works: Levothyroxine is the generic name for synthetic thyroxine, a thyroid hormone replacement drug. It provides thyroid replacement therapy in all conditions of inadequate production of hormones produced naturally by the thyroid gland. Lack of thyroid hormone causes hypothyroidism, characterized by lack of energy and weight gain. It is a disease commonly seen in middle age and older dogs. Levothyroxine is the most commonly prescribed thyroid hormone replacement drug.
Dog's Name: Zipper
Breed: Shetland Sheepdog
Age: 7 years
His story: Zipper was an active Sheltie, having been involved in obedience, agility, and flyball. He even won some ribbons at regional dog shows. He was a beautiful dog with a full coat and strutted around as though he knew it.
Zipper had always been a slim dog, since he had a high activity level and because his owner made sure he got the proper nutrition. That is why, when Zipper was 6 years of age and had a behavior change in the course of a few weeks, his owner became concerned. Zipper began not to enjoy his daily walks, and when he went to his agility class, he stopped right in the middle of the course. His owner also noticed that Zipper was losing more of his gorgeous coat than usual, and even though it was summertime, he always seemed to be curled up as though he were cold. She made an appointment with her veterinarian for the next day.
The veterinarian examined Zipper and took his recent history. She determined that Zipper needed a thyroid blood test, which measures the amount of thyroid hormone in the blood. A low amount indicates "hypothyroidism," that is, an underactive thyroid gland. The symptoms that Zipper's owner was reporting matched the symptoms of this condition. When the veterinarian got the blood test results, she saw that the Sheltie had a low level of the thyroid hormone called "T4". She gave Zipper's owner a prescription for Soloxine®, which is a synthetic form of this thyroid hormone, and said Zipper should come back for follow-up blood tests to see if his levels of medication needed to be adjusted. Once the veterinarian determined how much of the medication Zipper needed in order to get his T4 level back to normal, he would be on this medication for life, with blood tests yearly for the rest of his life.
Outcome: A few months after he was put on
Soloxine®, Zipper was back to his old self. He is 7 years of age now, and enjoys all the activities he once did. He gets regular blood tests as recommended by his veterinarian, and has only needed his medication adjusted once during that time.

Appellate court upholds residency firing of Falls employee
NIAGARA FALLS – The City of Niagara Falls was in the right when it fired a clerk for violating the city's residency law, an appeals court ruled Friday.
The Appellate Division of State Supreme Court ruled unanimously against Sandra M. Bowman, who had challenged her firing in a lawsuit filed in September 2011.
At first, Bowman won, with State Supreme Court Justice Richard C. Kloch Sr. ruling in May 2012 that Bowman was entitled to get her job back.
But in February, the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, altered the law on residency requirements by upholding three firings by the Niagara Falls School District. Lower court judges had found the school's residency rule was unenforceable, but the Court of Appeals approved it.
The Appellate Division then applied the high court's ruling to Bowman's case, and gave her the boot.
It was the second time in five weeks the Rochester-based panel had upheld a Niagara Falls firing. On May 3, the court ruled against Angel M. Alexis, an account clerk in the city Engineering Department, who was fired over residency.
The facts in the two cases were similar. Both women were accused of living in the Town of Niagara but claimed they lived in Niagara Falls. In both cases, the city hired an investigator who kept them under surveillance and found that more often than not, Bowman and Alexis drove to homes in the Town of Niagara, stayed the night and went from there to work the next morning.
City Administrator Donna Owens filed charges against both employees in January 2010. Both went through hearings, presided over by Niagara Falls attorney David G. Boniello, who ruled against both women. Alexis and Bowman were fired in May 2011.
Both filed lawsuits in September 2011, represented by the same attorney, E. Joseph Giroux, who could not be reached to comment late Friday. Both won in lower court – State Supreme Court Justice Catherine Nugent Panepinto handled Alexis' case – but lost on appeal.
Bowman had worked 25 years for the city; her last annual salary was $35,750. Alexis put in nine years; her final salary was $39,113.
Bowman actually was fired twice over residency. The city dismissed her in November 2008, but reinstated her three months later after a protest over the law's validity.
The city asserted in court papers that Bowman had signed a "last chance agreement" when she was reinstated, agreeing that she could lose her job if she violated the rule again.
But the Appellate Division wasn't interested in that, instead upholding the law because of the Court of Appeals' ruling that residency laws can be enforced unless there is "no rational basis" to do so, or if the charges are "without foundation in fact."

Sure, Easter may be over, but when it comes to the holiday's signature hues, the party's just getting started. We practically live in soft tints all season long, but it's easy to get bored with the same old. And since spring is about switching things up, we thought we'd mash up one of our fave columns in order to help you out.
Instead of culling four standout looks from one gal, we're tapping four style-savvy L.A. bloggers to show us how they model one look: their favorite pastel pants (the more the merrier, right?). From adding a breezy blazer to sporting the look with stripes, we're all over these cool styling tricks.

Americans Are Fatter, And We're Okay With That
Americans are reportedly 20 pounds heavier, on average, than we were in 1990. Wha? Were people really so fine, in 1990, outside of In Living Color's The Fly Girls? It's okay, though; we've made certain... psychological adjustments. We now have raised our self-reported "ideal weight" by ten pounds. No matter how big we get, our problem is just those last ten pounds! From a new Gallup poll:
Still, just 39 percent of Americans classified themselves as overweight, with 56 percent reporting their weight was "about right."
You ladies need to go on a diet. Me, I'm okay with myself.

Some Leeway on Health Insurance Coverage Deadline
Some Consumers May Be Able to Finish Enrolling After March 31
Several states running their own insurance exchanges are laying contingency plans to allow some consumers to finish signing up for health coverage after next week's enrollment deadline.
Some states are worried that lingering technical problems may prevent people from completing the sign-up process, especially if a surge of enrollees clogs sites in the final days. Consumers have until March 31 to sign up for insurance coverage and avoid facing a financial penalty for 2014 under the Affordable Care Act....

In 28 other locations, similar gatherings will occur.
The Campaign, which started in 2003, has sponsored some 201 events in 44 states and 6 countries.
SNMAC Co-Founder Janet Morana stated, "The campaign brings the pain of abortion out of hiding and into the open; likewise, it shows that God's people are committed to healing rather than condemning those who have abortions."
One of the Campaign members who will share her testimony in Washington is Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Abortion didn't solve my problems," Alveda states, "It just created new ones." Georgette Forney, also a Co-Founder of the Campaign, will likewise share her abortion testimony.

Argo and Les Miserables may have been official winners at the Golden Globes, but we were loving the humor, glamour and candor that moms brought to the big night. Here, our fave famous mama moments:
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Kill It
Want a show that's smart, funny and not uncomfortably mean? Hire a mom to do it. Better yet, hire two. Comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler gently poked fun at celebrities, even ribbing former president Bill Clinton ("Wow, what an exciting special guest – that was Hillary Clinton's husband!"), while also laughing at themselves. We loved when they start swilling cocktails onstage after their loss to "Girls'" Lena Durham.
Jodie Foster's Modern Family
In her rambling but touching acceptance speech for the Cecile B. Demille lifetime achievement award, Foster came out and acknowledged her "modern family," which includes sons Charlie and Kit, and co-parent Cydney Bernard, who she thanked as "my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my confessor, ski buddy, consigliere, most beloved BFF of 20 years."
Adele's Mom's Night Out
In her first public appearance since the birth of her son (she won't divulge his name), Adele picked up the award for Best Original Song for "Skyfall," which she wrote while very pregnant. In her speech, she said she attended the show just hoping for a break from new motherhood: "Honestly I came for a night out with my friend Ida. We're new mums. I was not expecting this."
Claire Danes' Post-Baby Body
We're hoping she triple-Spanxed. Otherwise, how do you explain Claire Danes' svelte figure just a month after giving birth to son Cyrus? Danes told "Entertainment Tonight"'s Billy Bush that this was her first time leaving Cyrus with babysitters (her parents), and she was running to her hotel room between the red carpet and the awards ceremony to breastfeed him.
Jennifer Garner Saves Ben Affleck
In the grand tradition of wives saving their forgetful husband everywhere, Jennifer Garner used the first moments of her time on stage to thank two people that husband Ben Affleck had forgotten to acknowledge in his acceptance speech. Also, Ben, your car keys are in the left pocket of your gray jacket in the chair in the front hallway.

Bucky Covington Captures Spirit of Young Love in 'I Wanna Be That Feeling' Video
Bucky Covington and his flowing locks star in the new video for 'I Wanna Be That Feeling.' The summery clip celebrates the carefree spirit of youth and young love on a sun-splashed day. It does an effective job of transporting the viewer to the time when hanging with friends was a top priority while not having care in the world.
Covington plays guitar and sings while perched atop a boxy, yellow, convertible truck, while he romances a pretty blonde lady who wraps her arms around him from behind. The video makes the point that youth doesn't last forever, so you may as well cherish it and suck the marrow from life in the here and now.
The footage of an always smiling Covington and his lady love is meshed with footage of a circle of friends. They all let the wind blow through their hair, ride bicycles and enjoy where the day takes 'em without much of a plan. No worries. No concerns. No cares. No problems. Isn't that how life should be?
The video is light, sweet and refreshing, like a tall glass of lemonade on a hot day. It's actually making us yearn for the summer to hurry up and get here.
'I Wanna Be That Feeling' is the lead single from Covington's upcoming second album due out later this year.

of course, i'm not convinced that he is the same species. homo sapiens have large brains and substantial cognitive functioning. while Comfort does have the ability to speak, which sets him apart from other animal species, he seems to be lacking the cognitive abilities that the majority of humans have attained.
my hypothesis is that evolution is alive in well in humans today. we know that mutations will come along - some good, some bad - which will survive should they present an advantage to survival. this doesn't mean all humans will necessarily evolve to get better. Comfort's mutation may be allowing him to thrive amongst others in his devolved species (let's call them Homo Estupidis).
the ability to deny what is patently obvious to most is the key feature among Homo Estupidis'. it could be due to a diminished frontal lobe, or maybe due to a cantaloupe being in place where the brain should be. i favor the latter explanation. in fact, let's change their name again to Homo Cantaloupis. yes, i like that better.
of course, it's entirely possible that Comfort is simply acting the part of king of the Cantaloupes, selling his product to the religious rubes who are dying for someone to articulate what they are incapable of doing on their own. someone who is willing to make an ass of himself in public to spout their religious quackery. (i do wonder what Comfort would have said had someone asked him not about the tailbone, but about the occasional actual human tail.)
but i prefer to think that Comfort and his ilk are simply devolved humans. it's much less embarrassing for the rest of OUR species.
Views: 697
that's probably a smart way to look at it. myself, i wish i could sit down with them and watch an episode of "Mutant Planet" or the wonderful 3 hour program "Galapagos" and ask them:
"how can you explain THAT?"
Mel, you're no cantaloupis, believe me.
It might be less embarrassing but denying the humanity of others only erodes our own humanity. Ray Comfort is just as human as the rest of us. Even if he's infected with the god virus. Even if he's got one or more mutations which make him susceptible to religious thinking. There are many among us who, except for the roll of the dice, could have easily become apologists just like Comfort. We are susceptible to the same host of cognitive biases and use of logical fallacies. At the end of the day we're all just irrational monkeys trying our best to make sense of things. It's not easy to think of ourselves as the same sort of thing as the "other team", but it's the truth. If we demonize others, we are the one's that become the demons. if we dehumanize others, it is our humanity which is lost. To deny that we have the same potential is to make ourselves susceptible to that very potential. That is, if we think ourselves above the mistakes of the other team, then we may find ourselves falling into the same pits without knowing.
Nathaniel, i agree with everything you said. you might have noticed that i was being facetious. i don't think Comfort is really a different species. he's either a true believer or a huckster. the former can be forgiven the latter, well, not so much.
Nathaniel, i too agree with your reasoned views, but i enjoy having fun too.
The hucksters in our species find that among religious conservatives there are easy pickings.
If recovery is possible, being picked easily might contribute to their recovery. If recovery isn't possible, ...well, capitalism provides opportunities.
Being more evolved than another is a matter of being more suited to survive long enough to reproduce. We flatter ourselves to be more rational than the "other sort" so surely we can accept that to be more rational is not necessarily the same thing as being better adapted (more evolved) to the current environment. While I agree that Comfort is wrong, it does not mean he is the devolved one. There is not enough evidence to support that conclusion.
Couldn't resist some silliness:
photo by Rob C. (deeg65 at flickr)
And also: (from Very Hilarious)
Thank you for this post! It's been quite a while since I have seen so many logical fallacies so conspicuously used to argue a point.
I suppose I should be embarrassed to be of the same species as Ray Comfort ... but the thing is, I can't help it ... so insofar as I can, I Ignore The Dumb Bastard!
That, it seems, is the best policy to take when a situation is beyond your control. And it makes life a lot less stressful when you aren't constantly upset.
Terence Meaden is embarassed to be of the "same" species as the creationists.

My studio is largely engaged in restoration and conservation of all types and ages of stained glass. This has involved me in researching and matching the great variety of painting styles and techniques by artists from medieval to modern times. This background has perhaps influenced me towards more traditional designs, particularly when involved with older buildings. However, commissions involving modern architecture have also inspired me towards abstract designs which I have found equally enjoyable.

Dodge Charger Redline: Detroit Auto Show
- Three factory-designed kits enhance the four-door Charger
- Appearance and performance upgrades include spoilers, wheels and exhaust
- Available aluminum 426 Hemi crate motor produces 590 horsepower
Dodge's star of the Detroit Auto Show is definitely the new Dart, a small and efficient sedan that takes styling cues from the full-size Charger. But the Charger still showed up, and in this version, efficiency clearly takes a back seat to swift quarter-mile runs. The Mopar-tuned Charger Redline packs a 590-horsepower aluminum Hemi crate motor that's so fierce it's not legal for public roads. The motor is the final slice of a three-part package that offers appearance and performance upgrades like spoilers and wheels and performance parts like a cat-back exhaust.
Mopar's Stage One kit is the mildest, mostly enhancing the appearance of the Charger. It includes exterior accessories in carbon fiber - a chin spoiler, door scoops and a rear spoiler - and a matte black roof treatment. The grille surround is finished in the body color while the signature "crosshair" insert is black. Mopar Black Envy wheels are 20-inch, also painted black, with polished accents.
Inside, the shift bezel and instrument bezel are aluminum, and the perimeter of the instrument bezel is trimmed in red, a detail also found in the new Dart. Stainless steel pedals with a rubberized traction pattern round out the Stage One interior upgrades.
Stage Two brings mechanical tweaks that improve performance but also enhance the aural experience of the Charger Redline. Drivers may sense crisper handling thanks to the additional front-tower cross-brace and brace caps and high-performance, fade-resistant Mopar brake linings. The Mopar cat-back exhaust, however, delivers not only a horsepower bump but a throaty exhaust note to please the ear.
At Stage Three, things get crazy. The lightweight aluminum Gen III 426 Hemi V8 is dropped into the Charger Redline, boosting output by 220 horsepower over the stock Charger R/T. The professionally built monster of an engine, called the "elephant motor" by the folks at Chrysler, is positively race-spec, with a forged-steel crank and rods and aluminum pistons. An aggressively-tuned valvetrain feeds the big motor under Mopar cast aluminum valve covers.
To say that the Stage Three setup might be a little much for the average driver is an understatement. Surely few owners wish to transform their four-door into a dedicated race car. But the Charger Redline at Detroit provides a glimpse of the array of accessories and parts available through Mopar. These allow owners to personalize their vehicles in a way that best suits their needs and styles. Sometimes having a car that looks like it has 590 horsepower is exciting enough.
What it means to you: Mopar's accessory parts and packages can transform a full-size family sedan into a full-blown race machine. But owners can also specify the Charger Redline at a milder point in between.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 19 May 2010
My thesis investigated adult museum visitors' learning identities. Here's some of what I concluded in my thesis about identity based on my extensive doctoral research.
My doctoral study looked at identity in a museum visit. One finding was that adult visitors played three roles—the "visit manager" by directing and organising; the "museum expert" in explaining, clarifying and correcting; and the "learning-facilitator" through questioning, linking, reminiscing and wondering. These roles are interchangeable, occur simultaneously and are dependent on both the social context of the visit and the group composition, particularly the ages of any accompanying children.
Identity can be influenced by visitors' interactions with museum objects (Morrissey, 2002). Paris and Mercer (2002) noted that visitors recalled and responded to objects in exhibitions that resonated with their personal identities. The present study found many examples of visitors relating objects they were seeing to other shared experiences and using objects to recall experiences that were meaningful to them and to their group. Worts (1996) suggested that individuals have two kinds of identity—personal which made an individual unique, and collective in what types of groups they belong to. The present study found similar results to Worts—although sharing was important through linking to past, present and future experiences (collective), there were still defined roles for an individual (personal). Sfard and Prusak (2005) proposed that learning was an integral part of a person's identity. In my study I found that a museum visitor's learning identity is expressed through a combination of:
Educational psychologists have mentioned how enduring a person's identity can be over time (Atchley, 1989; Vander Zanden & Pace, 1984). Examples from my study demonstrate that learning identity is enduring for some people and not others—it ebbs and flows depending on the sociocultural context of the museum visit. Leinhardt and Knutson (2004) suggested that identity was participatory and changed in response to a museum visit, which is supported by results from this study – participants gained insights into their learning identity in three ways, with the exhibition experience:
Both Paris (1997) and Morrissey (2002) noted that visitors learned more about themselves and others through their museum experiences. My study found that adult visitors were aware of how they like to learn, how they can learn differently, as well as how they do not want to learn and were adept at articulating their learning preferences. It also emerged that participants in both stages of my study want museum learning experiences that are both educational and entertaining.

At times, the growing city of Berlin appears to be running out of space for trade, industry and logistics. The supply situation is expected to improve in the future. "Available modern logistics spaces are currently under construction or in planning, in close proximity to the future BER airport," reassures Sebastian König, Head of Industry at Engel & Völkers Commercial Berlin. An enhanced reconfiguration of sought-after logistics spaces from 3,000m² within the motorway ring, is likely to lead to additional relaxation of demand for medium-sized and large objects.
On the market for industrial and logistics space in Berlin and its surrounding areas, a take-up of 146,000m² was registered in the first half of 2015. Compared to the first half of 2014 (176,000 m²), the results were lower by 30,000 m². "This development, among others, is attributable to the small number of transactions in the size class over 10,000m²," König explains. The greatest take-up of 13,600 m² was carried out via an e-commerce logistics provider in Marquardt in the submarket to the surrounding West. As a constant demand group for large logistics spaces, online commerce in the surrounding areas no longer appeared effective on the market.
Despite the overall negative result for the region as a whole, take-up in the metropolitan area showed positive development. 21,000m² more take-up was registered there than in the same period last year, with noticeably more transactions between 5,000 and 10,000 m². This result highlights two major transactions in the technology park Adlershof (Treptow-Köpenick district) with a total of 13,300m² and a transaction at Beeskowdamm in the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district with 10,000m². Companies in the field of 'transport logistics' represent the industry with the highest take-u with a share of 43%. This was followed by 'industry and trade' with a share of 26%, and 'commerce' with 25%.
The majority of take-up (86%) is attributable to letting agreements, of which 6% accounts for new construction sites. As a result, 14% of the spaces were acquired by owner occupiers (stock properties). Due to the low interest rates, owner-occupiers are still searching for properties, particularly in locations in central Berlin. For this demand group, stock spaces of up to 2,000m² are available in Tempelhof and Marienfelde, for example. The rents shifted at a stable level in all locations and fall within a range of between 3.50 euros/m² and 5.50 euros/m². "In the best locations, rents of 7.50 euros/m² are feasibly in the upper range for smaller spaces of up to 1,000m²," says König.
After the relatively weak first half of the year, take-up is expected to increase by the end of year, reaching a level similar to 2014 (320,000 m²) for the year overall. The buoyant atmosphere in the Berlin economy is also expected to strengthen the number of space applications for owner-occupiers. Rental prices will shift at a constant level.


text: WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate has unanimously confirmed President Barack Obama's nominee to lead the Energy Department. Physicist Ernest Moniz is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Moniz replaces Steven Chu, who served as energy secretary in Obama's first term. Moniz was an energy undersecretary in the Clinton administration. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina had delayed a vote on Moniz for several weeks. Graham was protesting Obama's plan to cut about $200 million from a South Carolina project to turn weapons-grade plutonium into fuel for nuclear reactors. Graham and other GOP lawmakers said the plan jeopardized a plant being built at the Savannah River nuclear site. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is chairman of the Senate Energy Committee. He calls Moniz smart, savvy and solution-oriented.

Reading the forum on your cell phone? There's an easier way. We've enabled a Tapatalk app that makes browsing the forum a whole lot easier. Check it out in the iPhone or Android store if you don't own it already.
We use slight variations of these instead - "Hold me here while I set up the anchors","I am in direct to the anchors, give me some slack but keep me on belay","I am in direct to the anchors, take me off belay, I am going to rap",Before removing oneself from the anchor, "Am I on belay?"
Way too much on a crowded, noisy, or windy day IMO. Work out the plan before leaving the ground.
When I'm about to be lowered I always grab the other side of the rope (the side coming up from the belayer to the anchor) and hold myself until I feel tension from the belayer...
TC and i were pretty basic-I'm on belay until i yell "OFF"same with rappels
... (struggling to do so since the rope was loaded ) ...

Abe Atiyeh had just finished filing his fifth lawsuit of the day when a man approached him outside the prothonotary's office.
"Come with me if you want to live," the man said.
"What are you talking about?" Atiyeh said. "I'm due in court in 15 minutes."
"There's no time."
Suddenly a heavily muscled man in sunglasses turned the corner of the courthouse corridor, saw Atiyeh and began running toward him with incredible acceleration.

When the American Heart Association Black & White Heart Ball opens its doors Jan. 28, the live and silent auctions will be one couple's way of showing their appreciation for the organization.
"I felt we needed to give back because I wouldn't have had him and our kids wouldn't have had them if it hadn't been for the research they do," said Mary Kate Boyle of her husband, John. The Riverbend couple are coordinating the auctions in their second year of volunteering for the AHA event.
When John first learned he had a rare heart condition, it nearly killed him. Sitting on the edge of the bed on a Wednesday in his Harrisburg hotel room, he told Mary Kate he thought he was going crazy.
"I told her I couldn't breathe, I was sweating and I was sitting there hoping it would go away," he said.
It didn't. In fact, it turned out to be John's second heart incident in five days.
"He had chest pains the Friday before he went away on business and the hospital checked him out," said Mary Kate. "There was nothing there, but the doctor said it was probably stress."
As vice president of Heluva Good Cheese, John certainly did face stress but at 44, a heart condition was not in the picture. And as a trained emergency room, intensive care unit and open heart nurse, Mary Kate was no stranger to heart attacks.
At the hospital
In her office in Syracuse, N.Y., a colleague heard the conversation from Mary Kate's side, got on the other office phone, called the Marriott front desk and told the clerk to get an ambulance there and the doctor up to John's room.
In a mad dash at a speed Mary Kate would not reveal, she drove to Harrisburg with only one very short stop literally on the highway to pick up her sister whose husband delivered her to a spot en route.
The closest medical facility was an osteopathic hospital with little in the way of treating cardiac conditions so he was transferred to Harrisburg General Hospital.
"By the time I got there, he was in the 'home tonight' section. We were not in the room 10 minutes before he raised his arm and said maybe it's my shoulder," said Mary Kate. She and her sister - a respiratory therapist - stopped a hospital aide walking past the room wheeling an electrocardiograph machine and hooked him up while telling a nurse to get the doctor there.
"I stood there looking at the EKG and thought 'oh my God, he's having a heart attack'," Mary Kate said. "The doctor came into the room not sure what he was going to do with us but looked at what I saw and that was it."
After a thorough examination, catheters going into his arteries and tests, it was discovered John had coronary artery spasm, a condition that is atypical of normal cardiac patients, said Mary Kate.
The condition causes arteries to kink shut like a kink in a garden hose, the disease is prone to more females than males and there is a 95 percent death rate, John said, because "by the time you know you have it, you're dead. I've only met one person who has it."
Making people aware
John became a research patient at the Mayo Clinic, an exhausting experience he was glad to do but has no wish to repeat. He was of particular interest to doctors because he didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't do drugs and had never even had coffee.
"If not for the advances of technology, I wouldn't be here," he said. "I think in a way we brought some awareness with the people we had touched."
Because heart conditions are harder to see, Mary Kate said it is not spoken about nearly as much as other diseases, such as cancer. She is currently in treatment for a skin cancer that affected a nerve in her face and neck.
"Heart attacks and stroke are the number one killers in women over all cancers, yet you don't hear a lot of people suffering from heart conditions," said John.
"This happened for a reason and you've got to turn everything into a positive," Mary Kate said. "People tell us we are so unlucky. I think we are lucky because we are still here. And we think people see us and learn."
Reaction to learning of John's heart condition was immediate and widespread among their family and friends.
"Everyone - not just our family - everyone immediately made appointments to see their doctors," said John. "We are lucky. We know what we've got to deal with. It's those who do not know they have a heart condition who are in trouble."
The American Heart Association Black & White Heart Ball will be at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 28 at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa. Deas Guys will perform and Don Hite will be on the piano during the Grey Goose hosted martini lounge cocktail hour. Tickets are $200 per person and tables of eight are $2,750. The Westin will offer special rates for attendees. Call 800-WESTIN for details. For tickets or to make a contribution to the AHA, contact Judy Caramello at 422-4542 or email@example.com.

Breastfeeding has been a struggle for us from the beginning. My breasts never grew, were never engorged when my milk came in (at least, no more than they are after a stretch of a few hours), and my daughter was born with a tongue-tie. She finally figured out how to suck correctly after about a month, but by that time, my supply had already been somewhat stunted, between my own physiological issues and her ineffective suck. I'm taking Motherlove More Milk Special Blend and just started Domperidone. DD is only getting a few oz of formula a day, and I'd like to get away from it entirely.
Our current problem is slow milk flow. DD either falls asleep or drags my nipple around in frustration long before she's satisfied, feedings last between an hour or an hour and a half - and frequently bleed into one another, especially if I give her an oz or two of expressed milk or formula to try and satisfy her before putting her down. DD can't nap more than forty-five minutes at a time, because she wakes up screaming for milk. She's gaining weight properly and having enough dirty diapers, but every waking minute is spent at the breast, on the bottle, or fighting to put an overtired baby down to nap. Besides that, because she wants to nurse so frequently, I can't pump between feedings to boost my supply - she usually wakes up within minutes of a pumping session.
I realized last week that I know nothing about her except her hunger cues, her hungry cry, and when to burp her. Our whole life together has been a struggle to get her fed. I haven't had the presence of mind to figure out what tired or bored or lonely looks like, and rarely have the patience or energy to play with her. I'm so frustrated, and being able to give her a bottle in twenty minutes and have a whole hour or more to spend just enjoying her, teaching her, playing with her, and being able to put her down, confident that she's not still hungry - man, that's looking really attractive.

Please consider two impressive, verifiable facts about women, finance and investing:
� �Over the next decade, women will control two thirds of consumer wealth in the United States and be the beneficiaries of the largest transference of wealth in our country�s history. Estimates range from $12 to $40 trillion. Many Boomer women will experience a double inheritance windfall, from both parents and husband.� � Claire Behar, Fleishman-Hillard New York
� �If academic enrollment is any indicator, in 25 years women will dominate once male-dominated fields such as law and medicine.� � Author Liza Mundy in the Wall Street Journal
With all the wealth controlled by and being transferred to women, many are just now starting to immerse themselves in the investment process. And statistics show that many more husbands than wives still handle the family investments.
A Wall Street Journal article by Susan Thomas entitled �The Rise of the Female Investor� purports that most women don�t have the time or the inclination to coordinate family investment accounts. ��men are still more likely than women to take the lead with the family financial account,� says Thomas. �According to a recent study � 19 percent of wives said they took control of financial decision making, versus 38 percent of husbands. Among female breadwinners, 20 percent said they were �very well prepared� to make wise financial decisions, compared with 45 percent of their male counterparts.�
Thomas also quotes a recent study that �has found that women differ substantially from men in how they relate to investing. They don�t want to hear about � growth or comparative performance of different funds; they want information about reaching their long-term goals, like putting a kid through college.�
Having advised male and female investors both singularly and as couples for 18 years, I think it�s difficult to generalize or stereotype. Each investor is different, regardless of gender.
That said, it seems certain that by necessity women are becoming and will become more familiar with investing. And it�s certainly preferable that women engage the process prior to the passing of a spouse, especially one who handled all family finances. Many husbands will establish a relationship with a trusted investment advisor for the express purpose of easing the financial transition for their spouse if the husband passes away first.
Some statistical studies show that women are more risk averse than men. Ironically, the biggest single determinant of risk tolerance that I experience as an advisor is not gender, but age. Both genders generally exhibit less risk tolerance as they grow older, as they have less time to make up for drastic market downturns. This age-based diminished risk tolerance is not always applicable, of course, as each investor is different, but generally age and not gender has had a greater impact on risk aversion.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Samsung Electronics Co. had already lowered expectations for the fourth quarter, so with investors focused on its forecast, its comments about the first quarter and a more competitive overall smartphone market may spook Apple Inc. investors.
On Friday, Samsung reported fourth quarter results that showed growth had slowed sharply.
On its conference call with investors Friday morning in South Korea, Samsung's 005930, -3.54% SSNLF, -3.07% vice president of its mobile business, Hyunjoon Kim, said he expects demand for smartphones and tablets to decrease in the first quarter, due to seasonality. Earlier this month, the South Korean giant had forecast that its operating profit would fall for the first time in two years, due to slowing growth in its mobile business.
In addition, the company also said it expects the competition will become more fierce in smartphones, and it talked about saturation in some geographies. Kim predicted that total smartphone-market demand would grow by 15% or higher, driven by LTE services in Europe and China, as well as continuing growth in emerging markets. But he also said there are markets "where I believe we can grow further."
The increased competition is possibly coming from Apple Inc. AAPL, -5.04% AAPL, -5.04% and Lenovo Group Ltd. 0992, +0.52% LNVGF, -2.48% , which is also now the No. 2 vendor of smartphones in China, after Samsung.
Apple's stock got a very slim boost on Thursday, after activist investor Carl Icahn said he had purchased $500 million in Apple stock, but it's too early to say how investors will read Samsung's news. The outlook and its saturation comments are bad for any rivals, but comments about increased competition may show that Apple is poised to — or is winning back — some lost share.
Investors may have to wait until Apple's earnings on Monday Jan. 27 to hear its side of the smartphone battle.

Combined Bachelor's and Master's Degree
American University offers students the opportunity to earn both undergraduate and graduate degrees through its accelerated bachelor's/master's programs. Undergraduate students may complete up to 3 credits for every 9 credits required for the graduate degree that may be applied to the requirements for both degree programs. The department that oversees the graduate program the student enters will determine if the courses the undergraduate student completes will satisfy master's degree requirements.
Bachelor's/Master's students must complete at least 18 in-residence credit hours at the graduate level after the bachelor's degree is earned and maintain continuous, sequential enrollment in the two programs. Students must finish the master's degree requirements within three years from the date of first enrollment in the master's program.

Favorite Chairs at ArchDigest Home Show
Have a seat, folks! From Kenneth Cobonpue's chairs made from fabric tubes woven over steel frames to classic American woodworking, these are 10 of my favorite chairs from the Architectural Digest Home Show.
• Kenneth Cobonpue — The Cabaret chair, made of fabric tubes woven over a steel frame, is available in both indoor and outdoor versions.
• Kenneth Cobonpue — The Rapunzel chair made with hand coiled upholstered foam that is woven over a steel frame, with matching seat and back cushions. Also available as for indoor and outdoor uses.
• BDDW — There's so much to love about this chair. The shape, the low seat, the dark blue upholstery and the cast iron feet. It seems at once masculine and feminine, modern but old-fashioned.
• New Traditionalists — Hello, plaid! The company's Chair No. One Eighty in plaid upholstery with leather piping detail.
• New Traditionalists — The buckled orange leather straps on the back of this dining chair are such a fun juxtaposition with the chair's traditional frame and sheepskin upholstery.
• New Traditionalists — Likewise, the lace up back on this green barstool is a great unexpected detail.
• Craft Fabricators — By all appearances, the Spring Chair doesn't seem like it should be comfortable. Made from bent steel, the seat on the colorful green chair is actually quite ... well, springy!
• Wild Chairy — Using old world upholstery techniques, Andrea Mihalik uses bold fabric choices to create modern classic chairs.
• Keating Woodworks — Who can resist a classic rocking chair? Geoffrey Keating is a fifth generation furniture maker with an awesome attention to detail and love of craftsmanship.
• O & G — The eye popping colors on the chairs from this Rhode Island studio give a modern update to classic American designs.

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
There a few ways to interpret what is 'horror' and what isn't, everyone can have their own interpretation. Each of these have elements in them that one can consider horror and are just a few examples. (I just copied the list from an earlier post I made and added synopsis/reviews). Sorry if you've seen a few, many, or all of these already. That goes to anyone else looking at this list.
Ghost Hound - Though seeming small and modest, Suiten is not a picturesque place for a vacation, unless it is from the "Unseen World". However, the Unseen World is no mere copy of the real Apparent World. The Unseen World is the home of ghosts, but changes are now allowing the souls of the dead to pass over into the Apparent World, with unpredictable effects. ~ Ultimately rather conventional in content, it is consistently unconventional in execution. Creating a hanging sense of dread, a portentous quiet that threatens more than any maelstrom could. It claws its way to ascendancy. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek - Among the ruins of the city, there is a game only children can play. But whenever children play this game, one by one they would disappear into the blinds of the buildings. A game of hide-and-seek; ready or not..... here they come. ~ Kakurenbo is completely shot in dark or overcast scenes with only flickering lights, neon signs, and the occasional glowing pair of eyes. Silence is definitely golden. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Mermaid Forest
Perfect Blue
Jin-Roh: Wolf Brigade
Gantz - A word of warning: Gantz is not for the faint-hearted, but neither is it as simple as it looks. Gore, rape, and violence is rampant, as are portrayals of greed, violence, and all the ugliness that one sees in society. There is no salvation, peace, nor god waiting to receive you into their care. This is the game. Enjoy being dead. ~ The first piece is a discordant dissection of the human mind, examining the private thoughts and emotions that run through the heads of society. The second piece is an alien-hunting game. Great visuals, heavy doses of graphic content, exciting action scenes, and, most importantly, credible portrayals of flawed central characters. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Monster - One critical decision - whether to save the life of a young child or that of the town's mayor. Dr. Tenma's world is turned upside down by his decision leading to the loss of everything he previously had. A doctor is taught to believe that all life is equal; however, when a series of murders occur in the vicinity of Dr. Tenma, all of the evidence pointing to the young child who he saved, Tenma's beliefs are shaken. ~ A self-proclaimed exploration into how human beings turn and are turned into monsters, an end that goes out with a whimper, not a bang…more's the pity. The whimper in question is a long, anguished wail of agony. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Elfen Lied - Captured and isolated in laboratories by the government, the Diclonius, a mutated homosapien that is said to be selected by God and will eventually become the destruction of mankind, possess two horns on their heads and have a "sixth sense" which gives them telekinetic abilities. ~ A horror series of exceptional merit, this isn't a series that children should be anywhere near, and it's not for the prudish, squeamish, or anyone else that doesn't have a very high tolerance for nudity, extreme graphic violence, or general cruelty. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Hell Girl
Le Portrait de Petite Cossette
Blood+ - Throughout the passage of time and the shifts in backgrounds, a particular war continues to leave its mark on history, extending its influence into the modern world. Monsters known as Chiropterans who feed on the blood of the living and an organisation known as the "Red Shield", formed to track down these monsters and exterminate them. Otonashi Saya has no recollections of her past life but her present one will be destroyed by an event that will lead her to her destined fate. ~ Inhuman swordfights in the hotels and harbors of Paris, gritty confrontations on the fog-shrouded streets of London, desperate impromptu struggles in the picturesque English countryside, aerial battles in the dark skies of New York. Cold-blooded tragedies. Vampirism. In its own whip-lashing start-and-stop way, Blood + is every bit as bloody entertaining and sneakily addictive. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Shiki - In Sotoba, a peaceful and quiet village with a population of 1300 people, a series of bizarre deaths begin to occur. At the same time, a strange family moves into a long abandoned mansion in the region. Then, the fashionable Shimizu Megumi goes missing and the entire village goes out in search for her. ~ Shiki is simply taking the time to look at a textbook vampire infestation from every angle. The shifting range of colors sets the series' dark mood, so does the music, adding to the unease. Dark and gloomy. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Texhnolyze - In a man-made underground society, descendants of a banished generation vie for control of the crumbling city of Lux. As Ichise is drawn deeper into a war for territorial control of the city, he learns of his possible future from the young girl prophet Ran, who guides him from the shadows in his darkest times. With the explosion of the warfare, Ichise must uncover the truth about Lux and fight for his survival as he realizes his destiny. ~ Presenting nothing in its twenty-two episodes that is happy or nice or emotionally enriching it very much intends to upset and alienate. It is one long, violent spiral into utter hopelessness. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network DVD review]
Serial Experiments Lain - The sudden suicide of a schoolmate, and a number of strange occurrences, conspire to pull Lain Iwakura into the world of the Wired, where she gradually learns that nothing is what it seems to be... not even Lain herself. ~ Slow, surreal, layered with symbolism and a vague, wandering non-story, all employed toward exploring the boundary between what is real and what is Wired. Every scene, every action feels significant, however little sense it might make, and everywhere there are subtle hints and allusions to... something. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Animeworld Anime Review]
Hellsing - Hellsing, a secret organization of the British government, has long been battling supernatural threats to keep the people safe from creatures of the night. The Hellsing Organization must face not only regular ghouls and vampires, but a rivaling secret organization from the Vatican, and Millennium, an enigmatic group of madmen spawned by a certain war over 50 years ago. A bloody battle between monsters is about to begin, the dead are dancing, and all hell is singing... ~ Vampires, gun fetishes, massive gore, casual blasphemy, Nazis. And from there, if you're the least bit susceptible to this kind of thing, there's no going back. [Bits taken from MyAnimeList and Anime News Network review]

Watched some of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni also but it just wasn't scary to me. Spent most of the time laughing at the way people died.
I'm looking foward to watch When They Cry, Ghost Hound, and Shiki they seem like they will be really creepy. My Playstation 3 got stolen and that is the only way for me 2 watch blu ray dvds so I won't be watching Ghost Hound for somewhile.
I have all 3 shows but haven's watched any of them yet. Can't wait 2 though
Shrapnel thanks a lot for all that help your really informative on those shows.

President Barack Obama delivered a powerful State of the Union address to Congress last Tuesday night that laid out his vision for a second term on several major issues from unemployment and gun control to immigration reform, climate change and voting rights.
The president's address built on themes from his inauguration speech last month.
It was important that the president's speech highlighted the economy. Polls continue to show the economy is the top concern of most Americans.
From 1979 to 2007, the wealthiest 1 percent of the population saw their after-tax income grow by 275 percent, according to a 2011 study by the Congressional Budget Office. During the same period, the 60 percent of the population considered middle-income saw their after-tax income grow just shy of 40 percent.
With unemployment still near 8 percent, the president and Congress must give top priority to job creation and income inequality.
"We gather here knowing that there are millions of Americans whose hard work and dedication have not yet been rewarded," Obama said. "Our economy is adding jobs—but too many people still can't find full-time employment. Corporate profits have rocketed to all-time highs—but for more than a decade wages and incomes have barely budged."
