Interview by AngryPrincess
Eric Stanze is the Top Dog of leading independent motion picture production company Wicked Pixel Cinema. Stanze is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed producer, director, writer, and editor of multiple feature length independent movies, all currently in world-wide home video release.
Stanze has also shot, produced, and/or edited educational videos, short films, documentaries, and music videos. He has provided voice over work for various radio commercials and independent movies. He has been a special effects creator for various independent films. He is also an actor in various indie features.
Eric Stanze began producing/directing low budget movies for the direct-to-video market in 1990 (he was only 18 years old at that time). Despite his "Roger Corman" attitudes and techniques, Stanze slowly started becoming a standout name in the indie/horror arena. Gory and hallucinogenic b-movies THE SCARE GAME, THE FINE ART, and SAVAGE HARVEST were directed by a young Eric Stanze. These titles set the foundation that Wicked Pixel Cinema would be built upon.
AnrgyPrincess: When I was young THE EXORCIST really scared me. What movies have you seen in your lifetime that have had a lasting impression or impact on you? Shocked or terrified you?
Eric: The first few times I saw THE CHANGELING it was all cut up on TV and it still scared me. I'd probably call THE CHANGELING the scariest movie I saw as a young lad. Other movies that I saw when I was young that had a lasting impact on me include APOCALYPSE NOW, CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, EVIL DEAD, DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT, CREEPSHOW, Romero's DEAD films, the STAR WARS films, and the FRIDAY THE 13TH films.
AP: If you could work on a film with any director who would you choose and why?
Eric: If I was there to learn, I'd work with Francis Ford Coppola or George Romero. If I was there to experience an interesting sub-current of world cinema, I'd hop into a time machine and go work with Mario Bava. If I just wanted to collaborate with a peer who I respect and I know I'd enjoy working with, I'd work with Jim Van Bebber, Fred Vogel, or with Jason Christ again.
AP: The first movie I saw of yours was CHINA WHITE SERPENTINE. What made you want to make a film about the seedy soul consuming world of drugs? You see a vicious circle played out along with the deterioration of the three characters; it's actually sad in a way.
Eric: Yeah, that movie just kinda crept up on me. I was a producer on a movie called THE SUICIDE ROOM, but the production fell through due to scheduling difficulties with that movie's director. CHINA WHITE SERPENTINE was a project I had in my back pocket. Jeremy Wallace and I had developed it to a degree, just for fun, but we had no specific plans to actually produce the movie. When THE SUICIDE ROOM dissolved, I put CHINA WHITE into production as a replacement. I started writing the screenplay for CHINA WHITE and something about it connected with me. I asked Robin Garrels to help me fine tune the script. There was no director selected for this movie at this time.
I really wanted to direct it, but my schedule was insane and I knew I would be unable to focus on it. I fell in love with the project and I felt like I'd just screw it up if I tried to jam it into my already overflowing workload. I asked Robin to direct and she agreed – hesitantly. She had the same problem as me – too many projects going at once. Eventually it was decided that we "tag team" direct the movie. I thought it worked out fine. I'm proud of the movie.
CHINA WHITE isn't our movie. It was a producer-for-hire job for me. So to go through so much effort and pour so much passion into this movie says a lot about how emotionally connected to the material I became. There was all this chaos, frustration, and anger brewing in me from my intense work schedule (and its impact on my personal life). All this was vented into that movie. That's probably why CHINA WHITE is so chaotic, violent, grating, and sad. It was good therapy.
AP: Where on Earth did you draw your inspiration from while planning and making the film ICE FROM THE SUN? It is intensely graphic but somewhat confusing. The storyline states: Alison must journey through this universe of chaos to search for the architect of all this pain, horror and death.
Eric: I probably could have answered that question better ten years ago. I was a very different person then compared to now. Even I look at ICE FROM THE SUN today and find it completely bizarre. I don't remember what inspired me to write ICE FROM THE SUN, but perhaps a lot of personal demons poured into the script (as they often do). Honestly, I don't remember feeling angry or somber or confused when I wrote ICE, but to look at the thing today, it would seem I had some seriously dismal personal issues back then!
My memory of writing ICE FROM THE SUN does not include any attempt to make profound statements about death and evil. I just remember being an irresponsible kid, typing up that script, thinking, "this will make a cool movie!" …maybe my mind is blocking out some darkness in my past, but I really don't remember being in a somber or angry state of mind when I wrote ICE FROM THE SUN.
AP: Now when I reviewed your film SCRAPBOOK, it really took a hold of me. I kept thinking "What if that was me?" I kept thinking about it after the movie was long over. There is a book called "Found" that Leonard uses as his scrapbook. Is that an actual title that readers like me can get a hold of? Or did you just make it up?
Eric: We just made up the title "Found" as something Leonard would have put there on the book. I loved that title because it could mean so many things. It made you think. Was it in reference to the "found" items in the book? Or the "found" victims who wrote in the book? Did it mean the victims had "found" Leonard? Or was it in reference to Leonard's goal to become famous… as in, the scrapbook would eventually be "found" by other people? I really liked having that interesting touch of ambiguity in the movie, stuck ight there on the scrapbook prop. For about a day, we considered changing the title of the movie to FOUND, but it was better left in the background.
AP: I SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE, I PISS ON YOUR GRAVE was wild! This is one movie in particular where you push the limits and show things other producers and directors wouldn't let the audience see. Sandy was meant to be a victim but instead ends up the tormentor. Watching it, I was disgusted yet excited she was making them pay. Were you hesitant at all about showing some of these extreme circumstances?
Eric: Oddly enough, everyone associated with the project was enthusiastic about how extreme the movie would be. This was another producer-for-hire job for me. This was not one of our movies. We were making SPIT for companies in New York, the UK, and France. The producers in France asked us to push the limits and take the movie as far as we could. I felt inclined to follow these instructions because these guys were writing the checks. But it was also something I was really interested in doing. I'm a fan of exploitation movies, epecially Joe D'Amato films. I thought it would be cool to make a movie like that …and my cast and crew were shockingly eager to follow me.
I do regret making that movie for one reason. We were very rushed. I knew when I was sending it out the door that it wasn't done. I knew it sucked. I've said negative things about the movie in the past, and it is always misinterpreted I believe. People think I'm embarrassed about making a sleazy exploitation film. Or they think I'm angry because the French investors pushed the movie into such extreme territory. None of this is true. I only have negative feelings about the movie because the filmmaking is bad. You can have all that nasty stuff in there and still make a well executed movie. I did not make a well executed movie. My shooting schedule was too short (only 8 days) and my post-production was extremely rushed. I should not have blasted through it. I should have taken more time to make a better movie when I saw it was coming together poorly. I was under a lot of pressure to finish fast I should have ignored that pressure.
Earlier this year, I was given an opportunity to "fix" I SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE, I PISS ON YOUR GRAVE. I re-edited the movie and I took the time to make it much, much better. It was re-released as "The Official Director's Version" of I SPIT ON YOUR CORPSE, I PISS ON YOUR GRAVE.
It was wonderful to have that opportunity. It was great to go back and improve an inferior work. But when a movie is made like SPIT was made, you'll never get it back one hundred percent. It's not a "great" movie now… The Official Director's Version elevates the movie up from "bad" to "competent" perhaps. But it will never be "great." Oh well. Live and learn.
AP: Emily Haack is in a lot of your films. Is there any particular reason you favor her as an actress besides the fact that she does a great job at her craft?
Eric: Em is always enthusiastic about being in anything I direct or produce. That positive attitude goes a long way with me. And each time I've directed her, it has been a very positive experience for me, so I guess we have an exceptional director-actor relationship. Most importantly, Em is a very good actor. She's a close friend, but that's not enough for me to cast someone. She earns the parts she gets by being very good at what she does.
AP: For us fools that haven't gotten around to viewing DEADWOOD PARK yet, could you fill us in on it's synopsis?
Eric: DEADWOOD PARK is about the small town of Eidolon Crossing where a child murderer began a killing spree that would last more than 30 years. An amusement park at the edge of town once fueled a very prosperous local economy. When dead children started turning up in the park, the grim publicity eventually shut the park down. The town withered and died in a few short years. In 1979, the killing spree ended. Francis Richardson was the final victim. The killer was never caught. Francis was survived by his twin brother Jake. Now an adult, Jake returns to Eidolon Crossing and begins to unravel the blood-soaked mystery surrounding the unsolved muders. The clues lead him back to the abandoned amusement park.
AP: DEADWOOD PARK won Best Cinematography at the Freak Show Film Festival in Orlando Florida as well as the coveted top prize of Best Feature. How does that feel?
Eric: It was interesting. We went down to Orlando to premiere and promote the movie, but I didn't think we'd win anything. When I saw the quality of the other movies being shown at the fest, I was just happy to be included in such great company. Winning those awards was completely unexpected… but also pretty thrilling. It's nice when your hard work is recognized.
AP: What does the future have in store for Wicked Pixel Cinema? Any plans or projects in the works?
Eric: I'm writing a new screenplay now. It's a horror project, but it's very different compared to DEADWOOD PARK. It's more fast, furious, and aggressive. It's called BUTCHER'S MOON and it will be a definite crowd-pleaser for gore-hounds, as well as for those who just want to see a truly inventive, stylish, and engaging horror-thriller. We don't know for sure if this will be our next project or not. If it is, we don't know when we'll start production. It's all up to the people who write the checks.
AP: Thank you so much for taking the time to hook us up with some killer info and we can't wait to have our next Eric Stnze Experience. Try to hit Monster Mania in NJ sometime and I'll buy you a beer, don't worry not all of us Jersey girls bite!
Eric: Thank YOU for the support! I'll definitely make the trek out to NJ next time Wicked Pixel Cinema ventures that way. It would be awesome to meet you in person!
Thanks again!
– Eric

I'm looking for a suggestion on what would be the best practice when upgrading a Zimbra 5 server that is running on CentOS 4.6 (32 bit) to Zimbra 7 that will run on CentOS 6 (64bit).
What would be the best way to upgrade?
I'm looking for a suggestion on what would be the best practice when upgrading a Zimbra 5 server that is running on CentOS 4.6 (32 bit) to Zimbra 7 that will run on CentOS 6 (64bit).
What would be the best way to upgrade?
But that is only one part of the problem.
I need to:
1. Upgrade to Zimbra 7 from Zimbra 5
2. Upgrade the OS from CentOS 4 to CentOS 6
3. Upgrade the OS from 32bit to 64bit
I was thinking about upgrading Zimbra from 5 to 7 on the old 32bit CentOS 4 server. Installing a new CentOS 6 64bit server with Zimbra 7 and migrating to the new server.
Would it work?
Will I be able to use the migration tool from Zimbra 7 to do the migration?
Read the Release Notes to see which version can be directly upgraded and follow the steps in the article you've been given (follow the instructions exactly) to move it to a new server - read the article in detail then practice a move in a test environment.
Just one more question, that I can't find the answer to in the documentation.
Will the upgrade process work for a non-licensed, open source installation,
or will it only work for a licensed server?
They talk about making sure that there is a valid license and that the Upgrade process will check this.
Does that mean that for an open source server this process will not work?
PS: Because this is my first time upgrading the server, I will make sure that a full backup is created before making any changes. Thanks for the tip
You are correct, I got the documents mixed up.
I will go over the correct ones and update the post.
Thanks for your time
I would note that CentOS is only up to RHEL 6.0. ZCS for RHEL6_64 require RHEL 6.1 or later. So it is ill advised to use CentOS 6 at this time until they catch up to RHEL6.

this bug or is there something else that's needed?
My install of CentOS6 has the following kernel (with ZCS installed):

Turning the music off....for now
Sunday, November 18, 2012
A friend of mine very recently told me about a song she said reminded her of me. It made me chuckle a bit because I thought about the music on my ipod. For a long time I listened to the same music over and over. Every run I did, I turned on the same tunes. Every.Single.Run. My boyfriend is the one who took the ipod one day and added many of his onto it and I realized what a musical box I had put myself into. So I strutted out there running around to new tunes, feeling like a whole new world had opened up for me.
Recently I started turning the music off though. At first it was to help me focus on not reinjuring myself with any improper running form. I took the time to really feel where the best foot strike is for me, if my shoulders were loose and comfortable or were they up around my ears? Were my hands in a fist or in proper form? Were was I looking? I figured once I found my proper form that felt good and was able to keep that form without injuries, then I would be good and bring the music back.
Instead of the music, I've grown accustomed to listening to my body during my runs. I recently discovered my 2 mile ick feeling because I wasn't distracted by anything, I just found a pattern going on. On yesterday's run, about 1/2 mile into it, I felt that pressing feeling in my chest that always makes me think "I can't do this, why do I keep trying? This feeling always shows up." And the lightbulb moment hit when the thought struck me that my body reacts to the beginning of my runs like this. Every.Time. For me, I do about 20 minutes of stretching before I start my runs. That's not including the many times throughout the day I stop and bend over to stretch the hamstrings that seem so reluctant to just not be tight. Maybe most people would have already known that this is a feeling related to your body trying to adapt to what you're doing to it, but I can be a bit slow sometimes...especially when I'm distracted. The feeling subsides after a minute or two, then it's more joyful running until it shows up again. And again my body is adapting to what I'm doing to it, and again it subsides and allows me to press on.
I always feel so grateful when I learn something about myself, especially when it's a realization that's been talking to me all along and has just been waiting for me to listen to it. My weekend runs are ran outside. Weeknight runs have to be on a treadmill because I'm too chicken to run in the dark and we don't have the best street lighting where I live. With the music off for now, running outside really makes you wake up to your world. There is so much going on out there! I will put the music back on for my long runs, but keeping it off for now seems to be teaching me some valuable lessons. Not to say I don't miss my Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga...

WOW! That is probably what you are saying right now. Why would she read back in my posts from years ago. May sound strange but I wanted to learn of your journey. Your positive comments and your history with running made me feel you would be a wonderful resource. I have already learned so much. I was telling my husband about you and realized, other than your few exchanges with me, I knew little of you. So I decided to do some back reading. This post caught my eye because I was just talking to my husband and told him that maybe I should run without music. His suggestion was to just turn it off. My concern; "was I going to get very tired of being in my own head." I like how you talked about putting the focus on your body. So do you mind if I use you as a sounding board of wisdom? Looks as if you have been through much of what I am going through. Right now I am like a big sponge. Soaking up knowledge.

So true. It's easy to miss out on so much when we put it into automatic on our runs. Hope you discover some hidden blessings along the way.

I think that's a great idea - shorter distances we have less need of distraction, longer distances there is only so much paying attention to the body we can do.
Enjoy the
of your soul as your feet meet the road.

Well put! I agree that it feels like a gift to get insight into my own self! Congratulations on discovering something about yourself. That's one of the things I love about running...through it I always find something unexpected (and I'm 51 years old!). Enjoy your journey!

My own PS3 is a regular old 80GB model that came packed with Metal Gear Solid IV. I used my covetous eyes to look at the gun metal gray special edition, but alas was unable to procure one. But Im happy with my system, at least until today. Coming across the Morpheon Mods take on a MGS4 PS3 is enough to make any fan of the series weep with desire.
I keep running into projects and ideas that I wish Id thought of. Last week it was the pixilated gaming cutting boards, and this week its a giant Nintendo Controller Coffee Table. Sure, we just picked up a new coffee table (furniture seems to rule my life this month).
When youre walking around the mall and you come across Sworovski crystal, Im sure you have the same thought I do. It sure would be cool to put thousands of those crystals on my Wii to make a Super Smash Bros Brawl system to end all other systems.

JMHS is proud to offer a new updated 16 slice GE scanner. This allows for shorter scan times and shorter breath holds for patients.
What is a CT Scanner?
A CT scan is a specific kind of X-ray. The scanner makes cross sectional images of body tissues.
How is the test done?
You may wear your own clothes for the scan as long as there are no metal objects (such as zippers or snaps) near the body part to be scanned. Sometimes a contrast media is used to give more information about your body. If contrast is needed, a nurse will start an IV in a vein, usually in the arm or hand. This involves a small poke using a small IV needle. Once the IV is in place, the needle is removed and a tiny plastic tube stays in the vein during the scan. You will see the large scanning machine with an opening in the middle. You will lie on a padded imaging bed, which moves in and out of the opening smoothly.
The room lights may be dimmed during the scan. It contrast is used; it will be given into the IV during the scan using a power injector. You may experience a warm sensation, a metallic taste in your mouth, or a feeling of needing to urinate as the contrast is given. This is perfectly normal and happens most of the time. The scanner will not touch you. It makes a whirring noise as it scans.
You must hold very still and not talk during the scan. You might be asked to hold your breath, we ask you that you do the best you can and breathe when the machine tells you to.
What should I do before the scan?
You should have nothing to eat or drink at least 4 hours before the scan. If oral contrast is needed, further instruction will be provided by the nurse or x-ray technologist.
What to expect after the test?
After the scan, if IV contrast was administered it will pass through the kidneys and unnoticed in your urine. It's important to drink extra water after the scan to help pass the contrast. The ordering doctor will contact you with results.
Approximate time of exam is 15 minutes.
Please call (320) 769-4323 Ext 2194 for any questions or concerns regarding your exam.

Color temperature (K) v.s. Spectrum
I have a hard time looking for bulbs in the hardware store (because that's usually what's most affordable in terms of DIY) when nothing is labelled in (K) and there is no red/blue spectrum indicator or wavelength measurement. Not only that, but when I start asking question about color temperature and light spectrum, everyone in homedepot and Canadian Tire say, "Uhhhh, I don't really know."
From what I've been reading (from posts all overthe NET) the K value is the color temperature right? That's how good it looks to us humans, so does that have anything to do with the Red/blue spectrum that plants all want?
I'm just trying to get bulbs/fixtures that would do the job without buying 'aqua' watever brand for $50 buck a pop. any suggetions?
Most people at the major stores do not know anything about the bulbs, you are right about that! You can check what bulbs they have and then do some research on the net to try and find the spectrums. The nm spectrum is far more important to the plants then the K temp is, but it's important to find bulbs that look good to you as well... You can find good name brand plant bulbs even in Canada for less than 50 bucks. The Geisman bulbs are great and can be had for 20 - 30 bucks a pop from a place like J&L aquatics in Vancouver for example.
What type of bulbs are you looking for? T8, T12, CF?
fish dork (may I call you dork?) Yeah, I have looked at J&L's website and don't get me wrong, there are really excellent stores here when it comes to aquatics, but the price for specialized items are really high. There are soooo many types of lights that I am basically sticking to my single glo & sho fixture by GE until I have saved up and set my mind on one kind of fixture.
Overfloat, I like the idea of Compact Fluorescent lighting, but again it would take me a long time to save for it. I'm actually thinking about some of the DIY LED's that are 3Watts each, but I don't know the effectiveness of them as they are still 'new' and not solidly proven. What also gets me is I have a canopy and light I do not use anymore because they have a single fixture for a 20 & 30 gallon tank, that's a joke (for those who want real plants).
What type of bulb does your current fixture use?
Lighting can be one of the more expensive parts of this hobby unfortunately.

Happy weekend, y'all! Are you getting ready for some St. Patrick's Day festivities on Monday? I'll be cooking corned beef for the first time, so wish me luck! Until then, take a little break from wedding planning with these fun links…
I kind of love these dipped paintings by Oliver Jeffers.
This wall of colorful knobs is so cheerful!
Salted moon pies… yummmm….
I didn't know this First Kiss film was an ad when I first saw it. Now that I know, I'm not sure if I still feel like it's sweet and clever, or if I feel duped… you?
Cute floral bon appetit tags (free printable!).
I wish I had this much washi tape. And that it was this organized.
There's something really happy about these flower-topped flats.
Petals and penmanship… two of my favorite things came together in this class!

CF Mailbag: 9-21 Edition
Brent Blum
By Chris Williams, PublisherFollow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
Just a quick heads up. If you asked me a question about realignment for this week's mailbag, I've left it out of the column for obvious reasons. Whatever you asked me is now dated. But as of now, that's a good thing for Iowa State. Realignment is never over folks so stay tuned.
Let's get things started with a Cyclone football question from Pyrocyz.
Pyrocyz writes: What do you feel the team needs to work on (other than getting healthy) during the bye week?
CW: Fundamentals and the mental aspect of the game. Iowa State has turned the ball over twice as many times as its first three opponents and on top of that has been penalized for twice as many yards. That brings me to this question...
Khaal53 writes: Is Iowa State a good football team that has overcome turnovers and penalties or are they a mistake prone team that has been fortunate to find three wins?
CW: Great question. Maybe a little bit of both? All I know is this. Past Iowa State teams wouldn't have won those games against Iowa or UConn. For real. Iowa State teams of the past lose those games. Period. Some way, some how, the Cyclones won a triple-overtime game against their rival and completed a fourth quarter road comeback against a quality BCS program.
That tells me that there is something different about this team. I don't know what it is, but something is there. Paul Rhoads has said from day one that this is his best team that he's had at Iowa State. Maybe it's time to take his word for it?
It's been good enough so far but with that being said, it's no secret that Iowa State needs to clean things up with a nasty Big 12 schedule on the horizon.
Cystheman writes: ISU to WWE - Who would be who and why? ex: CPR = The Undertaker. JP, Bill Finnley, CFH.
CW: Oh boy. You have no idea the size of the can of worms that you just opened up. Here we go.
Jamie Pollard - HHH - He's the COO. Everybody answers to him. Thou shall not cross "The Game."
Paul Rhoads - Hulk Hogan - Not Hollywood. Hulk. Why? Because everybody liked Hogan back in the day. Try to find somebody within Iowa State's fan base who doesn't like Rhoads? You can't.
Fred Hoiberg - Randy Orton - "The Mayor" is a much nicer guy than Orton, but they get things done the same way. Neither talk much. They do their talking on the court, or in the ring that is. Orton's finishing move, the RKO, is one or the quickest maneuvers in the WWE. With his plan of taking transfers and fearless recruiting, Hoiberg is poised to creating one of the quickest turnarounds that we've ever seen at Iowa State.
Bill Fennelly - CM Punk - He says what he wants, when he wants, even if it isn't the popular thing to say. He's brash. But most importantly, he's respected. I've written for years that Fennelly is the cornerstone of Iowa State's athletic department. Take CM Punk away from the WWE right now and you've got a flat product. The same can be said for Fennelly, who represents all of the positives that Iowa State is about.
T.J. Otzelberger - The Miz - Otz might be the best interview in the Iowa State athletic department. Miz has the best mic skills in the WWE. On top of that, both are sharp dressed men.
"Voice of the Cyclones," John Walters - Jim Ross - No-brainer here. Walters, like Ross is to the WWE, is the "Godfather" of Iowa State media.
Eric Heft - Jerry "The King" Lawler
Tron Smith - Mr. T - Duh.
Wally Burnham - The Undertaker - Iowa State's defensive coordinator gets better with age. He's still one of the best in the game.
That's all I've got for now. This was fun. Thanks for the question Cystheman.
Triggermv writes: I drove 20 hours nonstop each way to the UConn game this past weekend and noticed one big difference between UConn's game time atmosphere and ISU's. That was UConn's official in-game DJ. I've definitely never seen a team DJ before and definitely didn't imagine there would be one which would overshadow the band (Maybe just an East Coast thing). What are your thoughts on a team DJ? I will say this, while neither the DJ or the band got the response from the fans that I think the ISU band does, he did play some killer songs.
CW: I wasn't there but I checked with my main man Brent Blum about this. He said that "DJ UConn" was pretty intense. Here's a direct quote from Blum himself.
"Think Sips on a Saturday night. It was a bit obnoxious and I love club music."
Isubeatle writes: I've seen a lot of people saw that we have a really good shot at beating Texas at JTS. While I'm optimistic, are we being too confident going into this game and setting ourselves up for a huge let down?
CW: Iowa State is 3-0. Texas is 3-0. Iowa State won in Austin last year. The Horns haven't necessarily been world-beaters so far in 2011. Iowa State is winning games that it never would have won in the past. Do you blame people for being excited? My advice is to enjoy the ride. If the Clones end up getting punked, then so be it. But being afraid of challenges is no way to live life in my opinion. Let the coaches worry about stuff like that! I don't see anybody being over confident. Obviously, Texas has a ton of talent. There's no way that the Cyclones will enter that game an overconfident bunch.
Iforecy writes: Has there been any word as to whether or not Pompey going to play at all this year or will he end up redshirting?
CW: The way I understand it, he will redshirt. It's tough for any defensive tackle to play as a true freshman. Add to the fact that he came into camp injured and it didn't help his cause.
CyBer writes: Who is your favorite person to interview and why?
CW: I assume that you're speaking of the football team correct? Two players immediately come to my mind. Those men are Ter'Ran Benton and Leonard Johnson. Both men say what is on their mind in a very well thought out way. Funny guys too. Not much coach speak with these two.

//Dog race track in West Virginia. Nikon 8800.
End of Day 1 and I'm exhausted. I've been on my notebook comp for a few hours now trying to install something/anything that will let me convert RAW files to JPG but I've had no luck. My version of Photoshop is a bust and the Windows RAW viewer won't work out either. As a result, all my favourite shots (taken in RAW for a reason) are currently inaccessible. BAH. Hopefully I'll get this resolved by tomorrow.
This shot was taken late this eve in West Virginia. We decided to see what the big dog races (advertised on the interstate) were like. The place was pretty dead and those who actually were there (at the slots or the races) were strictly 80+. It was creepy. Paul placed a $2 so we could watch the race, his dog won, and he walked away with $7.80. We were there all of 10 mins. Felt too awful for the animals... I suppose at least they get to hang out with other pups and eat the best dog foods.... still though.

great but some let downs
This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13: Masters Collector Edition Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Great to have Augusta. Career mode and Tiger Woods features are great. Graphics look good for the most part, until camera movement is involved.
Cons: Glitches!!!! Video regularly freezes and jumps when zooming in on the ball moving on the green. As the other review says, you often have your aiming marker way off into the crowd just to get enough power on some putts. The physics of a ball hitting trees is absolutely appalling! Often the ball will be missing the tree but hit something and fall straight down. hitting trunk or small branches always makes the ball fall straight down. The Masters clubs are too good - there is no need to ever change from them....

This review is from: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 13: Masters Collector Edition Xbox 360 Game
Pros: I've been playing the demo while waiting for the game to arrive, but here are my thoughts so far:
Cons: There are a few issues:
Other Thoughts: Casual gamers may not like this version of PGA Tour, due to the increased realism and difficulty introduced with the new swing mechanics. But those that actually play golf will probably like this game, as it is the closest thing to a full-blown golf simulator that an ordinary bloke can buy.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist for Wii U Pre-Order Boxes Spotted in Ireland
Could Splinter Cell: Blacklist be headed to the Wii U? This image seems to indicate that it is!
Could Splinter Cell: Blacklist be headed to Nintendo's Wii U? This image spotted by NeoGAF user Thraktor over in Ireland seems to indicate that.
The pic, which you can see below, was taken in a GameStop in Dublin where a pre-order box for the game was lined up with other boxes of games that were already confirmed to be appearing on Nintendo's upcoming next-gen platform.
Here's the image so you can judge for yourself:
To be honest, if this comes to be true, then this shouldn't come as much of a suprise, as Ubisoft has been one of the most productive supporters for the Wii U. We already know they're planning a whole slate of games for Nintendo's platform, which starts with a Wii U version of Assassin's Creed 3, and even an all-new IP in ZombiU.
The bigger question here should be is: can Ubisoft use the GamePad in an ingenious way for the game? I'm not talking about using it as a menu for weapons or whatnot, but something more ingenious. Say, maybe have the GamePad be another vantage point for a sticky cam?
Would you want this to be true? If so, do you see it selling as good as the current-gen versions?
Splinter Cell: Blacklist is scheduled for an unspecified date in 2013, for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Page.Form.DefaultButton = ApplicationWizard.FindControl("StepNavigationTemplateContainerID").FindControl("StepNextButton").UniqueID;
This is working perfectly, but when I ajaxify the Wizard control it does not work. The Default button is set to the Control I specify when initally loading the form (StartNextButton) but does not update to StepNextButton on other steps. What am I doing wrong?

I live there and the brand new mangment. Is just is always on time and updates /inform's us on every thing
Jim Williams

I lived at the complex for nearly seven years and was evicted when the new managment took charge. The previous manager was stealing my money and selling/manufacturing methamphetamine in her apartment. Her and her husband were removed from the property. The tenants were mostly psychotic, on large amounts of DRUGS (that's you Levi and Ashley!) and or dealing/trafficking drugs. There are people of ill repute passing through the property at any given time. I also had a car stolen and another broken on the north parking lot. I'm sure the property has gotten better but its had a very tumultuous past. Overall, a decent place to live as long as you keep to yourself and have a car alarm. This might be deleted but I promise you it is the truth.

Had a certifiably insane woman in my end of the complex who was arrested (finally) one night with about 11 other people. So many people complained about her and the continual traffic in and out of the building, with the manager claiming there wasn't anything she could do about it. Finally, the tenant was arrested for possession of all kinds of things. Needles and other drug paraphernalia all around. Other tenants were being constantly served with warrants, arrested, drunk, fighting. The walls are paper thin. You can hear your neighbors on either side and upstairs coughing, sneezing, passing gas even. The current manager is doing an excellent job of keeping out these types of people. There are more stable tenants, who actually don't have shaved heads or tattooes, and who are quiet and seem to have jobs. And now there is a trend among these large complexes to charge you a fee of $50 when your lease expires and you want to go month-to-month. Ask for different lease lengths. You can do shorter periods than a year. Be careful. Check it out during the day and at night to get a better feel.

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis tend to come and go. You may have flare-ups when your symptoms become worse than normal. Common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Less common symptoms include:
Rheumatoid arthritis varies from one person to another but it usually starts quite slowly. A few joints – often your fingers, wrists or the balls of your feet – become uncomfortable and may swell, often intermittently. You may also feel stiff when you wake up in the morning.
If you have painful, swollen joints and stiffness in the morning that lasts for longer than half an hour, you should see your doctor. Research shows that the sooner you start treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, the more effective it's likely to be, so early diagnosis is important.
For about 1 in 5 of those with rheumatoid arthritis the condition develops very rapidly, with pain and swelling in a lot of joints, severe morning stiffness and great difficulty doing everyday tasks. You may feel tired, irritable or depressed even when the joint symptoms are fairly mild, and some people feel generally unwell.

Can anyone please eloborate on the rule for service in table tennis. Do you have to serve cross table?
Scoring A match is played best 3 of 5 games (or 4/7 or 5/9). For each game, the first player to reach 11 points wins that game, however a game must be won by at least a two point margin. A point is scored after each ball is put into play (not just when the server wins the point as in volleyball).
The edges of the table are part of the legal table surface, but not the sides.
Flow of the Match Each player serves two points in a row and then switch server. However, if a score of 10-10 is reached in any game, then each server serves only one point and then the server is switched. After each game, the players switch side of the table. In the final game (ie 5th game), the players switch side again after either player reaches 5 points. Legal Service The ball must rest on an open hand palm. Then it must be tossed up at least 6 inches and struck so the ball first bounces on the server's side and then the opponent's side. If the serve is legal except that it touches the net, it is called a let serve. Let serves are not scored and are reserved.
Equipment The paddle should have a red and a black side. The ball should be either orange or white and 40 mm in size. The table should be 2.74 meters long, 1.525 m wide, and 0.76 m high.
Try this Link Also Official Rules
In doubles you must serve diagonally, but in singles you can serve in any direction.
The rules for service are in Section 2.06 of the ITTF Handbook:

A Columbia program that gets kids off the streets and onto the basketball court has been shut down.
For the last 30 years, the Moonlight Hoops program has been providing Columbia kids the opportunity to get out of the house and play basketball.
But Wednesday those games are cancelled.
Parks and Recreation officials say the program will be back up and running again, because they tell us "it has to."
The lack of coaches is what is putting the program on hold.
But one community member is helping fight to get the program back.
"We ain't going nowhere," Calvin Ray Williams said.
Columbia's Parks and Recreation officials and people in the community are struggling to keep the Moonlight program up and running
Calvin Ray Williams played in the program when he was younger.
He shared with us how important he thinks keeping this program around is for kids today."Very important. Very important. It gives them something extra to do extracurricular. Whether it's here, the ARC or uptown," Williams said.
Camren Cross is the recreational supervisor with Columbia's Parks and Recreation.
He tells us he knows it can be hard to find coaches for basketball during the summer.
But that's not just it, there are other obstacles when it comes to finding coaches."Not as many people want to do a basketball league outside, it's a long, hot summer. Then you end up dealing with the stigma of the park itself," Cross said.
The league is determined to find not just coaches but role models while keeping kids busy and off the streets."It gives them the opportunity to get out here and do something constructive rather than the alternatives," said Williams.
"It's going to happen. That's just how it's going to be. If we did not have this programs the community would lose something it's held dear to itself for many many years and we don't want that to go on," Cross said.If you want to volunteer as a coach, call Parks and Recreation and ask for Camren Cross.

Home Park,
v Wolverhampton Wanderers, Championship League
Saturday, September 18th, 3pm
By Tom Noble
1. Why you were looking
forward to going to the ground? (or not as the case
may be)
5. Comment on the game
itself, atmosphere, stewards, pies, toilets etc..
The toilets were fine, but did get crowded at half time. The game was a scrappy affair, and the first half ended predictably goalless. Second half,and to no-ones real surprise, David Friio heads home for Argyle. However, the game was to turn on a clear foul on Kevin Cooper in the area, and Carl Cort slotted the penalty away right in front of the away fans, which sparked great celebrations. And alas, with 5 minutes to go Dean Sturridge popped up to lash the ball across goal and complete an unlikely but very welcome comeback. 2-1 to the Wolves it ended.
6. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game.
We were made to wait for about 5 minutes to allow the home fans to disperse, and as we were escorted around the ground the same way we came in, we were periodically stopped by the police as more home fans left the ground. Could be annoying if you were heading for the train, and the traffic was building up again by this point. Back on the coach, and we were escorted away again straight through the traffic, and back to Wolverhampton on another trouble-free journey.
7. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out.
I was generally impressed with what Plymouth were doing with their ground, although the stands were a little on the small side. The atmosphere in the ground was good, with the home fans often responding to our songs and so on. All in all an enjoyable day out, and I would definitely go back to Home Park next time.

The contestants came into the gym where they met Ali who had serving trays with a variety of items under the lids. You could play to win total control of the game, but you had to eat whatever was under your tray before you moved on. The big ticket prize offers the winner, the only vote at this week's elimination.

Maintaining a healthy weight may be the single best thing we can do for our health. Carrying extra pounds, together with our typically poor diets and low activity levels, is associated with the most prevalent killer diseases of our society. It also causes unnecessary damage to our joints and connective tissues. Fortunately, several positive steps toward good health go hand-in-hand with weight control: keeping fit, developing good postural habits, and putting good food in our bodies. These will go a very long way toward reducing diseases such as:
- Cardiovascular disease
- High blood pressure
- Type II diabetes
- Osteoporosis
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Digestive problems
- Immune system weaknesses
Those problems are not caused by a deficiency of pharmaceuticals. To a great extent, they come from the choices we make and the patterns we have developed.
But It's Hard to Get Started
It sounds so simple, and yet, making lifestyle changes is one of the hardest things do to. I know it for myself. I see it with my patients. And I know that both doctors and patients are complicit in gravitating toward the illusion of an easy fix: take a pill (or maybe ten). As an acupuncturist, I'm lucky to have patients who are typically more averse to fixing problems with drugs and are more eager to take on a solution they can implement themselves. But that doesn't make it easy.
Getting fit, losing fat, and eating well don't come from following the latest diet fad, taking a new pill or buying the miracle device you saw on an infomercial. Those things sell like crazy because we are mesmerized by the possibility of obtaining our goals without actually changing our lives – if we would only buy the latest thing, the hard work will be done for us. The vendors know this, and prey upon this universal weakness in human nature.
Bad diets affect our brain chemistry (among other things) and make it really hard to change our patterns. I suspect that sugar, and sugar-fat combinations, are as addictive as narcotics. (I've had firsthand experience with doughnuts and ice cream, but not the narcotics, so I can't say for sure). If you're overweight, you're also probably not very fit; the prospect of exercising is so overwhelming, and the first attempts at the gym are so depressing, that the best avenue seems to be watching a re-run of "Lost" with a tub of Ben & Jerry's. There's comfort in knowing that most of the people around you aren't doing any better.
Good News: Success Begets Success
The good news is that once you get started down a healthier path, the benefits multiply and are self-reinforcing. Your body craves real food, and is satisfied by it. It wants to be lean and strong, and it will love the exercise that makes it that way. You don't have to count calories (or anything else, really). You don't have to be on a restrictive diet. Most people can eat all they want of "real" food – meaning most anything in the produce department, whole grains, and some canned vegetables. And it doesn't take much longer to prepare a meal from these ingredients than it takes to microwave nutrient-free, processed junk or drive to your favorite heart-stopping fast-food vendor.
Similarly, it doesn't take hours a week in a gym to get amazing results. In fact, a lot of the exercise that people do in the hopes of losing weight is a waste of time. Some will find they can spend less time exercising than they do now and yet finally make progress. Change does take work and dedication but you can see good results with just 60 – 75 minutes a week (not a day!) of suitable exercise. The trick is an appropriate level of intensity. If your routine allows you to chat freely with your friends or focus on the cover story in "O" magazine, you aren't exercising hard enough to be worth your while. But don't worry about not being in good enough shape to start. A good system will demand the right amount of exertion for your body, but be safe and appropriate for any age or level of conditioning.
The Key: Good Food in Moderate Quantities and a Strategic Exercise Program
Your focus should be on fat loss, good nutrition and healthy exercise leading to a strong, fit body that is resistant to illness and injury. To accomplish this, you need to combine a sound diet full of unprocessed natural foods together with a properly designed exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response in your body. Both aspects are important if you want to succeed, and the combination can make positive changes remarkably fast.
You'll feel your strength increasing in a couple of weeks. As you eliminate junk from your diet, you'll find your cravings for them also diminish very rapidly. Your weight may not drop like a rock, because you'll be adding muscle as you lose fat. But there's really good news here too: fat is twice as bulky as muscle, so you'll see big changes in your measurements and body shape even if your weight decreases slowly; muscle burns calories day and night, so the stronger you get the faster the fat will be burned up; and as you gain strength and fitness, you'll enjoy your favorite activities more and more, with less fatigue and less chance of injury.
Finding a Good System to Follow
So, how to get started? Where can you find good guidance about healthy approaches to diet and exercise? Free information abounds, but putting it all together can be overwhelming. Getting the inspiration to start and to work through the occasional tough times can be hardest of all. One good study found that of numerous dieting systems, Weight Watchers had the highest success rates. However, that was because of the interaction and encouragement from other members, rather than any special trait of the plan or the food. When evaluating a plan, you want sound nutritional and exercise advice, combined with some kind of support system.
Watch out for these red flags:
- · Promises of results with little or no effort
- · A focus on pills, drinks or supplements
- · Special diets
- · Proprietary pre-packaged meals
- · Special exercise equipment
- · Recurring fees
What a program should offer:
- · Sound nutritional advice with a focus on a well-rounded variety of healthy, unprocessed foods you can buy in the grocery store
- · Tips on meal plans and recipes are a bonus, but you want to learn how to change your eating habits, not get a strict menu to follow
- · Guidelines for safe, effective, efficient exercise that can be adjusted/scaled for a wide range of ages and physical conditions
- · Specific exercises that focus on major muscle groups and require minimal, standard equipment
- · An ongoing support system, such as an online help desk, ongoing newsletters and/or a discussion group
- · Reasonably priced

So you're on dieting, doing regular exercises to lose your weight. Okay, now just a simple question. What do you focus on each time you get on the scale? Is it the weight you've lost or the weight you still gotta reduce? I'm sure when you step on a scale, no matter how much weight you have lost, the thought of how much you still have to lose makes you go mad. The Quantum Scale shows you the positive side of the picture. It shows you how far you've come, and not how far you still have to go. The Quantum Scale never shows your weight! It secretly records your weight and shows the loss or gain from the time you start your diet. As far as technical aspect is concerned, it has maximum capacity of 330 pounds and displays your weight in both pounds and kilograms. However small, the weight loss is, it shows your weight loss. You would actually want to step on the Quantum Scale.

What is baby reflux?
Lots of babies get reflux from time to time. Here's how to spot if your little one is suffering from it and how to treat it.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or more usually called reflux, occurs when stomach acid flows backwards out of the stomach and into the oesophagus resulting in burning and irritation. Some researchers believe that reflux is a common condition in babies and children and is often overlooked as a source of distress.
What causes reflux?
Normally, the small muscular flap at the bottom of the oesophagus opens only to allow food to enter the stomach. However, if this muscle relaxes too much, stomach acid can back up into the oesophagus, causing reflux.
Is reflux serious?
Reflux can be serious. The constant irritation of the oesophageal lining can result in sores, bleeding, and precancerous conditions. The oesophagus can also start to narrow making swallowing difficult.
Can I prevent reflux?
Some cases of adult reflux are the result of obesity and/or smoking, and in such cases, reflux can be prevented by changing lifestyle habits. Reflux in babies and children can often be improved by a change in diet and/or medication.
How do I know if my child has reflux?
Children with reflux may have the following symptoms:
- Excessive regurgitation and positing
- Nausea
- Failure to thrive
- Heartburn
- Coughing
- Laryngitis
- Respiratory problems like wheezing, asthma or pneumonia
How do I treat reflux?
To help relieve the symptoms of reflux, make sure that your child does not overeat. Also, keep her from lying down immediately after eating. There are several over-the-counter medications that you can use to relieve symptoms for older children, but consult your doctor before using any of these long term. Your doctor may also advise using prescription medication. In extreme cases, some cases of reflux may require surgery to repair the muscle.
Should I call the doctor?
Make an appointment with your doctor if you suspect your child has reflux. He can help you diagnose the condition and determine the best treatment options for your child.
What you need to know about reflux
- Reflux is a condition in which the muscle between the oesophagus and the stomach relaxes to let stomach acid back up into the oesophagus.
- Reflux can result in bleeding, sores, and pre-cancerous cells in the oesophagus.
- Reflux can be treated with medications, lifestyle changes, and sometimes, surgery.

Anne Truitt (artist)
American, 1921 - 2004
Knight's Heritage, 1963
acrylic on wood
overall: 153.35 x 153.35 x 30.48 cm (60 3/8 x 60 3/8 x 12 in.)
Gift of the Collectors Committee

Object 55 of 56
Although often connected to minimalist sculptors such as Donald Judd, who also made simple painted wooden objects at roughly the same time, Anne Truitt had little in common with the anti-aesthetic and anti-compositional stance of that loosely defined movement. Rather, her epiphany came in 1961, when she first saw in person the paintings and sculptures of Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt. Like Newman, Truitt was committed to the expressive value of carefully chosen color and to the significance of compositional decisions regarding the division of the rectangle.
Both qualities are evident in Knight's Heritage, an important transitional piece in which Truitt still employed a brushy texture to define the paint surface and actual grooves to mark the three divisions (elements she abandoned in her later, smoother work) but began to break out of the somber tones of her earliest work and embrace glowing color. The title has several possible references, including the popular 19th-century medieval fictions of Howard Pyle, which Truitt enjoyed, and the Kennedy administration ("Camelot"), which she admired and to which she had social connections. The simple frontal array of the work has a heraldic aspect that reinforces these associations.
Born in Baltimore in 1921 and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Truitt settled in Washington, DC, in 1948 and remained in the region until her death in 2004. While the Gallery's collection includes two of her towering columnar works and one small horizontal piece from the 1970s, the addition of this major work from her breakthrough years establishes a more complete representation of this influential American sculptor's career.

Pair who overdosed on 'bad' cocaine still hospitalized
The medical conditions of a Hazleton mother and daughter who overdosed on tainted drugs remained unchanged Tuesday, according to city police.
The women, who were found inside a home in the 500 block of Carson Street around 3:30 p.m. Monday, overdosed on "bad" cocaine, Hazleton Police Chief Frank DeAndrea said.
The daughter, who is in her 30s, was still in serious condition, and the mother, who is in her 50s, was still receiving medical treatment Tuesday, according to police, who did not plan to release the women's names.
DeAndrea said the women could have ingested drugs that were altered with another, more toxic substance. He warned that there are "bad drugs" in the area and suggested this as one reason why users should seek help.
The chief said a fatal heroin overdose occurred in McAdoo on Monday, and city police are investigating whether it is related to the incident in Hazleton.
Anyone with any information about the overdoses or who provided the drugs is asked to call city police at 570-459-4940. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the drug tipline at 570-450-2080.

I've learned I don't know anything. Have also learned that people will pay for what I know. Life is good.
Living one day at a time, with a fresh baked cookie. Okay. And with a coffee. And maybe some chocolate. But I promise to take my vitamins.
Insert pretentious crap about myself here.
Buddy, can you paradigm?
Nerdfighter. Determined dreamer. Has ambitions to be crazy cat lady if marrying various celebrity crushes proves impossible.
(Note this is Finnish. I don't know what it says, but get a load of all those letters! I figure any bio with the word Oyj in it has got to be great.)
Coffee-Drinker, eReader Addict, Mom, Blogger. I'm very busy and important
90% of your problems can be solved by marketing. Solving the other 10% just requires good procrastination skills.

I have been called a PollyAnna, sugar-coated idealist. I like to think of myself as more optimistic than that

HOLY CRAP I'M GOING TO BE A DAD! Oh yea, I work in email marketing & I like craft beer too.
I'm just a boy, standing in front of the world, asking you to follow me.
do not judge me before u know me, but just to inform u, you won't like me
I've never been a millionaire but I just know I'd be darling at it
A human. Being.
Why talk when you can mock? Why hide your Face like I got Mace? Is it all an act or just a Fact. Maybe if you didn't drool, you'd be cool. Ran out of room boom
I'm a Basset Hound aficionado with a mouth like a Syphilitic sailor.
As I scoured the Twitterverse for the most clever bios, I also found some pretty bad ones, too! But they are also funny in their own strange way. I don't want to embarass anyone so I've removed the handles, but I couldn't resist some of these clunkers:
- Fascinated by transactional nature of counterknowledge & public discourse in socially mediated spaces which simulate (but don't engender) counter-public spheres
- follow me
- I'm indifferent to most items on the planet. Some people call me a Social Media Guru. I don't correct them.
- I have a dream to gain the freedom to help people Through new products, helping then grow through experiences and achieving their dreams and their freedom
- Job Opportunity Promoter, I follow back for FREE!!!
- hello my sexy armadillo. I'll follow back esp if youre irish
Well, as a matter of fact, madam … I am. : )
