I came across an essay today that contained the following passages:
Exactly what all right-thinking Pakistanis have been moaning about for the longest time, isn't it?
Good to know that celebrated American poets feel the same way.
"Widespread ignorance bordering on idiocy is our new national goal. It's no use pretending otherwise and telling us... that educated people are the nation's most valuable resources. Sure, they are, but do we still want them? It doesn't look to me as if we do. The ideal citizen of a politically corrupt state, such as the one we now have, is a gullible dolt unable to tell truth from bullshit.
An educated, well-informed population, the kind that a functioning democracy requires, would be difficult to lie to, and could not be led by the nose by the various vested interests running amok in this country. Most of our politicians and their political advisers and lobbyists would find themselves unemployed, and so would the gasbags who pass themselves off as our opinion makers. Luckily for them, nothing so catastrophic, even though perfectly well-deserved and widely-welcome, has a remote chance of occurring any time soon. For starters, there's more money to be made from the ignorant than the enlightened, and deceiving [people] is one of the few growing home industries we still have in this country. A truly educated populace would be bad, both for politicians and for business.
It took years of indifference and stupidity to make us as ignorant as we are today... If this lack of knowledge is the result of the years of dumbing down of ... school curriculum and of families that don't talk to their children about the past, there's another more pernicious kind of ignorance we confront today. It is the product of years of ideological and political polarization and the deliberate effort by the most fanatical and intolerant parties in that conflict to manufacture more ignorance by lying about many aspects of our history and even our recent past."
Exactly what all right-thinking Pakistanis have been moaning about for the longest time, isn't it?
Good to know that celebrated American poets feel the same way.

In the end, the economy bit the Bard.
NEW BERN � In the end, the economy bit the Bard.
Cancellation of the Carolinian Shakespeare Festival, a summertime New Bern cultural fixture, was recently announced.
After 14 years at a number of venues, the annual mixture of plays and workshops will not return in 2013.
Festival founder Mary McGinley, the director of New Millennium Theatre Works, cited the �financial climate� along with medical problems for some of the New Millennium board members as the two deciding factors in closing the New Bern project.
�I found myself cutting the budget each year,� she said of the August festival, which debuted at New Bern High School in 1999. �I looked at it as a challenge to our creativity to see how we could do more with less. But, there comes a point when the quality of the work will suffer from these budget cuts. We felt strongly that we needed to stop before we reached that point. We prefer to go out on top.�
The festival brought in professional actors from the New York City area, who worked with actors and production personnel from New Bern and the surrounding area.
�A big problem was housing for the visiting artists,� she said. �Our sources dried up. Supporters who donated housing in the past were now forced to sell their property, or moved away. That became the straw that broke the camel�s back.�
She said the festival didn�t lose money, although the past four years had been an increasing struggle.
�The festival just broke even each year, which I was proud of,� she said. �But that took a lot of work on my part, constantly watching the bottom line and struggling to �make do.��
She said the funding sources � ticket sales, donations and grants � had tapered off equally.
�With the fall of the economy, the foundations that helped us, as well as the state and local arts councils, were on rocky ground themselves,� she said. �They had a lot less to give. And the same is true for our individual donors. Many of them continued to support us, but at a much lower level than they once did. That took its toll.�
She also noted that several people on New Millennium�s small board had illnesses in their families that made their participation difficult this year.
McGinley said that she had come to think of New Bern as her summer home and she intends to return, if only as a visitor. She said New Millennium will now turn to the development of other programs in the New York area to continue creating opportunities for young and emerging artists. It has already launched a new program, �The Garden,� on the Shakespeare Festival Web page. It is touted as working with new playwrights, creating events to develop and present their work. It also plans to team with new directors, designers and actors.

Tribune is now directing *ALL* traffic to our SD-DD server. We don't know how long Tribune will keep their DNS active, so you should still change your applications.
The best way to use the new SD-DD service is by updating your application. In your code, replace the two TMS hostnames with "dd.schedulesdirect.org".
- Code: Select all
WSDL: http://dd.schedulesdirect.org/tech/tmsdatadirect/schedulesdirect/tvDataDelivery.wsdl
Service: http://dd.schedulesdirect.org/schedulesdirect/tvlistings/xtvdService
If you can't update your application, edit your local system hosts file to "trick" the network. (no application changes necessary!) The problem with this solution, is should we change IPs (not planned), a future change will be needed.
On Unix/Linux/Mac edit /etc/hosts (superuser required).
On Windows, edit %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc (normally c:\windows\..., (admin rights required, make sure your editor doesn't add ".TXT)
Add this line:
- Code: Select all
18.104.22.168 docs.tms.tribune.com webservices.schedulesdirect.tmsdatadirect.com
Known Issues:
- Expiration Date may be slightly different. (This was caused by a bug in the SD web app, now fixed)
- Data is only updated daily. If you want frequent updates, switch to JSON!
- Some shows may be missing from the start of the request window. TMS DD always starts with "what's on now". The new service reports "what's on now, but only looks 4 hours before the start time. So if a show started 4 hours before the start of the request, it won't be in the data. I don't think this matters in practice (it would be in a previous day's grab), but makes diff testing a bit harder.
- Items are in a different order. It doesn't matter to apps, but does make doing a diff harder. Sorry.
- SD-DD has effectively 13 days of data (less if there are data problems, which sometimes sometimes)
- I've added a firewall block for excessive downloads. Some apps get an error and retry immediately causing 1000's of requests per day.
- Fake postal codes are not supported (international). SD-JSON has international support

Many young people see credit cards in one of two ways: "Yay, free money!" or "No way, I'm steering clear of those!" What you may not realize is there is a middle ground in the form of responsible credit card use. To start off on the right path you need to understand why you might want to use a credit card in the first place.
Building Good Credit
Credit cards – when used responsibly – can help you establish good credit history. You can learn more about establishing credit here, but the bottom line is that it takes credit to get credit. While you may not need a loan or other credit at this time, odds are you will when it's time to pay for college, buy a car or purchase your first home. Showing lenders you can responsibly use a credit card helps them feel more confident that you will pay back their loan as well.
Some cards come with extra perks, such as a cash back bonus (which can be applied to your statement, received in the form of a check, or used for gift cards or merchandise). Combined with the importance of establishing credit, rewards such as these are a nice bonus. Just make sure you aren't getting charged an annual fee from the company to get them.
Using Credit Responsibly
Now you know why it might be wise to use a credit card, but you still need to know how to do it responsibly. The biggest rule when it comes to responsible credit is do not borrow more than you can pay off each month. For example, if you use a credit card to purchase gas for your car – let's say two fill-ups of $40 – you need to set aside $80 to pay off the bill at the end of the month. Why? Two words: interest charges. Each month you don't pay your account balance in full, the credit card company will charge you extra money in the form of a percentage of your balance.
This is where many first-time borrowers get into trouble. Maybe you really want to attend a concert with your roommate but you can't afford the ticket. "I'll just put it on my card," you think. "I'll save extra next month and take care of it." Sure, it's possible you will. But this starts a slippery slope of using your credit card as a loan instead of a tool for establishing credit. The same is true if your card has cash advance capabilities. These advances often come with hefty interest rates or fees.
Can you use a credit card in an emergency? Yes. But only if it's truly an emergency. Otherwise, you need to use credit cards as a bridge to better credit, not a slippery slope to debt.

George Hughes was born in New York. He studied at the Art Students League and the National Academy of Design. Early in his professional career he moved to Detroit to work as a "special designer," (whatever that might be). By the early '40s he'd returned to New York and joined the Charles E. Cooper studio. This 1945 advertising illustration below was likely done during his stint at Cooper's.
Only a few years later, Hughes was being represented by American Artists. Based on some of the names seen in this 1951 AA ad, he was in extremely good company.
It was common among ambitious illustrators of those days to submit cover sketches for consideration by the editors of the Saturday Evening Post. At that time, no assignment could have been more prestigious than to illustrate the cover of America's most popular, most widely circulated magazine. Hughes made many sketches before submitting the one that landed him his first cover assignment (below).
"The finished job was sent back for just one correction," said Hughes. "The editors asked me to 'clean up the boy a bit since he isn't old enough to get that dirty.' Actually, he was fully that dirty," said Hughes, who had posed his young neighbour as the grimy kid. "But I pleased both the editors and his mother by cleaning him up a little."
The public response to the illustration was so spectacular that it must have convinced the Post's editors to make George Hughes one of their regular cover artists. He went on to paint over a hundred Post covers in the following years.
Hughes, like fellow Post cover artist Dick Sargent, was one of the originators of the 'sitcom magazine cover,' as Walt Reed describes it in his biography of George Hughes in "The Illustrator in America." As a result of these cover scenarios, wrote Walt Reed, "readers would spend minutes rather than seconds looking at the covers."
Hughes not only painted covers for the Post, but was a frequent contributor of interior illustrations - usually of a similar light, humorous nature. Often an issue that sports a George Hughes cover will have an interior spread by the artist as well.
Considering the generous compensation illustrators received for high profile work like this, it's no wonder Hughes "sails much of the summer. By early fall, he returns to retouching his studio full of duck decoys in preparation for the gunning season. Only in winter does he occasionally forsake water sports - for skiing."
But there was more to George Hughes than comedic Saturday Evening Post illustrations. Some of my favourite of his pieces have a darker tone.
Unencumbered by his sometimes obvious adherence to his photo reference, here you see Hughes' showing us his true, personal style.
It's a style I find much more compelling than his typical (and probably more popular) work.
Almost all the work you'll find by George Hughes is full colour painted illustration. Here's a rare example of his black and white pencil technique...
... and another that looks like it was done on a textured board, perhaps with chalk or crayon.
Hughes could also do romance story illustrations with the best of them - but rarely did. I think he did a great job on this one, from Good Housekeeping magazine, 1950.
From my research, George Hughes stayed with his reps at American Artists for the duration of the 1950s. As story illustration assignments began to wane, AA managed to land Hughes what must have been a lucrative advertising account for Kraft. Here are two from a series of ads Hughes illustrated in 1960 - a time when most magazine ads were using photography.
I find these so interesting because Hughes is working here in a more or less realistic style. Why Kraft chose to have these ads illustrated is beyond me (though I think Hughes did a great job on them).
Walt Reed tells us that George Hughes moved on to become a portrait artist after the decline of the illustration market. As a painter he exhibited his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, The Detroit Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
George Hughes died in 1990.

well, i think your comments are starting to be all quite odd, I wonder why you are trying to missguide us like that. Doom clearly said it would create a paradox implicitely confirming this theory is correct. You've aknoledged that (wanting to try the paradox) and suddenly since a page or 2 you are playing dumb as if someone had to save pcm in order for him to be alive before his death...
tell me how it would create a paradox if it was just a simple mechanics game. Do you see anything in the scene that could make you believe pcm was saved by someone??
And of course all town are not days, some have to be "night" (this has been agreed a long time ago.. there isn't going to be 7 town and 6 scums, and it would be way too simple in case of mass nameclaim) but i don't see what it has to do with the rest of this kill/paradox conversation. NOS and NG1 softclaimed night by the way which is a huge help for scums.
Im not going to get into a pissing contest with you. Watch your wording! You say I am trying to "misguide", which implies I have an agenda against Town. I have been thinking out loud as I always do. I have no idea what the mechanics all I can do is theorize.

Good Bread: Portuguese Specialties at Teixeira's Bakery in Newark
Stories about the loaves we love.
The Ironbound district of Newark is a pancake-flat trapezoid hemmed in between the city's downtown, the Passaic River, and the highway. For almost a century, it's been home to a thriving Portuguese community, rivaled in size only by Massachusetts communities like Fall River and New Bedford. The Ironbound's main drag, Ferry Street, is lined with Portuguese, Spanish, and Brazilian restaurants selling platters of paella, barbecue, and the like. If you want a bite of something just as Iberian but not so gut-busting, head to Teixeira's Bakery, with two stores in the Ironbound. The line to the counter is often forty deep, but it's worth the wait.
Portugal has a baking tradition as old and intense as any country in Europe, with bread a necessary accompaniment to all three meals. In 1976 Manuel Teixeira opened his bakery, first in Harrison and then in Newark, selling hand-made breads and pastries to the community. It expanded over the years, at one point having outlets across Northern New Jersey. But over the last decade, it has concentrated its activities in the Ironbound, building a large plant with giant ovens and conveyor belts zipping loaves this way and that. Nevertheless, it has stuck close to its Portuguese roots, with one corner of the bakery devoted to the handmade, artisan breads that first made it famous.
We might as well get out of the way the reason most non-Portuguese are willing to wait on the Teixeira's line: pasteis de nata, or egg custard tarts. These delicacies may have been invented over two centuries ago at a monastery in Belem, just outside Lisbon. They have spread throughout the Lusosphere, or Portuguese-speaking world, and also to East Asia via the Portuguese of Macau. But I'm afraid to say that the egg tarts you get in Chinatown have nothing on Teixeira's version. Here they come with dense and crispy puff pastry shells filled with sublime, not-too-sweet custard. You devour one in three or four crunchy, creamy bites and inevitably find your hand reaching to the box for just one more.
Behind Teixeira's counter, you find a gorgeous display of the Portuguese staff of life. The most eye-catching is the broa, Portuguese corn bread, dusted with flour with great cracks or score marks along the crust. This is an extra-dense loaf with a rich corn flavor. It's made from cornmeal, white flour, and a bit of rye. You can buy it by the loaf or by the pound. The locals slice it thin and dip it in their caldos, or thick soups. Handily, Teixeira's always has a caldo of the day for sale; recently it was a caldo verde made from collard greens, beans, and potatoes. You can take your bowl to one of the bakery's tables and slurp it down with spoon in one hand and bread in the other.
Another rustic-looking Teixeira's loaf is the pao de Mafra. This is from Mafra, another town in the Lisbon region, where it's the center of a local cult. It's made from white and whole wheat flours and comes with a soft yet lumpy crust enclosing a loose, off-white crumb. For locals, pao de Mafria isn't a side but the main event. They like to eat it fresh, spread just with butter, marmalade, or a soft Portuguese cheese.
If New Yorkers have tried any Portuguese bread, it's usually a roll. Every year, Teixeira's baking plant produces tens of millions of rolls to be sold at supermarkets and other stores throughout the Northeast. In the Ironbound, you can buy the whole lineup, including moletes, mealhadas, and padinhas. They are pleasant enough on their own, with a good crust and chewy crumb. But they're really meant as foils to their filling. Try the chorizo sandwich at Teixeira's.
You can buy Teixeira's rolls at Garden of Eden stores and Pathmark, Shop-Rite, and Stop & Shop supermarkets. But for the full-size loaves, it's best to visit the bakery's two stores, one on Ferry Street and the other at the Kossuth Street main bakery.
Teixeira's Bakery
184 Ferry Street, Newark NJ 07105 (map) 973-344-0103

L selectin is an adhesion molecule, it's role is to maintain the Stem cell in the bone marrow.
Blocking L-selectin increases the probability that a stem cell gets released from the bone marrow.
With scientific research a 5:1 proprietary concentrate of AFA concentrates the L-selectin ligand.
Feeding 1 gram of this AFA concentrate to individuals was shown to increase the number of circulating stem cells by 25-30%, adding approximately 2-4 million new stem cell to the bloodstream. This was confirmed with a double blind crossover placebo controlled study. This is a safe physiologic increase that is well within normal range of the body and thus presents no risk to the body.
Thus AFA concentrate is the first Natural stem cell enhancer. This puts a new paradigm of supporting health and wellness in place. Consuming the AFA concentrate supports the release of stem cells from the bone marrow, which supports the natural renewal system. This may very well be the best strategy to assist the body in maintaining optimal health.
In theory, since bone marrow stem cells (BMSC) have the ability of becoming virtually any cells of the body, supporting bone marrow stem cell release has the potential of supporting ALL aspect s of human health.
BMSC have been shown to support the health of:

If you don't get the Update from John's Hopkins University Here it is:
Johns Hopkins Update
Steps to take to prevent and manage the cancer cells we all have. You have probably seen these notes before if not here is something to file away and incorporate into your life as it applies to your needs.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer
cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have
multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after
treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a
person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer
cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and
forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing
cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc., and can
cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars
and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
reduce tumor size.
However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either
compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb
to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to
mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer
cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made
with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute
would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small
amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in
color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based
diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,
like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole
grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into
an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked
food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live
enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance
growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most
vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw
vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high
caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer
fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or
filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap
water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of
digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the
intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By
refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes
to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the
body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system
(IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,
EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy
cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known
to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's
normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or
unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.
A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior
be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put
the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to
have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated
environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to
get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave..
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Please share this with your whole email list.........................
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.
This is an article that could be sent to anyone important in your life...
nt releases from John's Hopkins University and Cancer management are below. I hope you research and apply any that will enhance your quality of life.
As a practicing Internal medicine physician, the trends that patients have chosen indicate the desire for Natural healthcare options is at the top of their list.

|I realise now that you can't see the pork very well in this photo, but it was shredded and sticky and very nice
Apart from bacon and sausages, I don't cook pork that much. I've never eaten it in a form that wasn't quite tough and a bit tasting-of-nothing and I was traumatised at about 13 while reading Alive that when cooked, people taste like pork. It put me right off.
But this slow-cook goulash recipe that I found in Jamie at Home, surrenders a shoulder or leg of pork to something totally edible, that doesn't have the mouthfeel of a Uruguayan rugby player.
Goulash, if you've never had it, is usually made with beef, I think, and is a rich, smoky thing made with a lot of peppers and tomatoes. Very autumnal and, I believe the word I'd use if I was a proper cookery writer and not just a half-educated, semi-psychotic, spiritual alcoholic is "fragrant".
I missed out so many ingredients in this that it hardly counts as Jamie's recipe any more. Below is the ghoulash as I made it, which worked excellently well and I was really pleased with it - if you want to get hold of the original recipe, it is very conveniently located on Jamie Oliver's excellent website, or on p.257 of Jamie At Home.
This takes three hours to cook, but it works.
For 2 very hungry people, or for 4 less hungry, with rice.
650g pork shoulder or leg, skin off, fat left on
2 sweet peppers, sliced
2 chillies, chopped (you can probably leave the seeds of one in - or both if you like. The 3-hour cooking time seems to knock the shite out of the seeds' heat)
2 red onions, finely sliced
1 heaped tablespoon smoked paprika
1 can plum tomatoes
1/2 a jar of grilled peppers in oil
for on top:
soured cream
chopped lemon zest
chopped flat parsley
1 Set the oven to 180C. Heat some oil in a deep casserole pan and score the fat on your pork in a criss-cross diamond shape. Season with salt and pepper. On a low-medium flame, cook the pork fat-side down for 15 minutes.
2 Remove from the pan and add the onions, chilli, paprika, a good pinch of salt and pepper. Turn the heat right down and cook for ten minutes until the onions are soft. Add the sliced peppers, grilled peppers and tomatoes. Put the pork back into the pot - sort of wriggle it down in between the peppers and tomatoes - and pour in enough water to just cover the meat.
3 At this point I was going to add a tablespoon of cider vinegar but clean forgot. I wish I had, so you might if you do this. Bring to the boil on the hob and then put in the oven for 3 hours with a lid on.
4 Wander off and do something else. Then come back about half an hour before it's ready and cook some rice, open a pot of soured cream and chop up some parsley and lemon zest.
5 When the pot comes out of the oven, attack the pork in the pot with two forks to shred the meat before serving.
Like all stews, this re-heats and freezes very well.
Eat and try not to think about planes crashing.

I will be the first to admit that I'm not a horror fan. But I am a fan of gothic stories, which is why I decided to see The Woman in Black (2012).
From a gothic perspective, this story has it all — a beautifully decayed manor house, a period setting, deadly supernatural occurrences, a skeptical outsider, a crazy woman, an isolated village full of people behaving strangely, a train, a harsh landscape (in this case a marsh). It also features some very creepy vintage children's toys.

Morgan Scores 28 Points To Pace Yale
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – For 30 minutes on Saturday, the Yale men's basketball team showed it has the potential to be very good. The season opener also taught Yale a valuable lesson.
Sacred Heart rallied from a 24-point deficit to defeat the Bulldogs 85-82 in overtime in the second game of the Connecticut 6 Classic at the University of Hartford's Chase Arena.
"For the first 30 minutes, we played well," said Austin Morgan, who scored a career-high 28 points. "It's a good lesson for us. It's not a 30-minute game, it's 40 minutes."
Yale (0-1) was clicking on all cylinders in building a 61-37 lead five minutes into the second half. The Bulldogs were still ahead 71-54 with 7:55 left before the Pioneers rallied. Shane Gibson, who was fourth in the nation in scoring last year, scored 11 of his game-high 29 points over the final eight minutes, including a driving layup with eight seconds left that tied the score at 76 and forced overtime.
Yale scored the first five points of overtime, but the Pioneers answered with the next eight points to escape with the victory.
James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball, could see the difference in his young team down the stretch.
"When we share the ball and play together, we are very good," Jones said. "Then guys went off on their own and it didn't look very good."
Morgan was 7-of-12 from the field, including 6-of-11 on three-pointers. Freshman Justin Sears, who started, added 19 points and seven rebounds. Jeremiah Kreisberg scored nine points and Brandon Sherrod contributed six points and six rebounds.
Justin Swidowski had 17 points for the Pioneers (1-0). Louis Montes added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Sacred Heart outrebounded Yale 41-29 and had 16 offensive rebounds, which led to 24 points.
"We didn't chase the ball off the glass and that's why we lost," Jones said.
The Pioneers led 15-11 early, but Yale answered with a 19-6 run. The lead grew to 16 on an Armani Cotton free throw with 37 seconds left in the first half, and the Bulldogs took that 44-28 advantage into the locker room at the intermission.
Yale shot 51.9 percent (14-of-27) from the field in the first half and outrebounded the Pioneers 16-12.
It looked like the Bulldogs might cruise to victory when Michael Grace's layup gave them the 61-37 lead, but from there Sacred Heart turned on the pressure.
Still, the Bulldogs had a chance to win in the final seconds of regulation, but Javier Duren's runner in the lane rimmed out as time expired.
"It was a great comeback by Sacred Heart," Jones said. "For us, it's a lesson learned."
NOTES: Duren had a career-high six assists for the Bulldogs… Yale had assists on 18 of its 27 field goals… All 10 players that appeared in the game scored… Four of Sears' seven rebounds came on the offensive end. He was 7-of-12 from the field… The Bulldogs are back in action on Monday night when they begin play in the NABC Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at St. Joseph. Yale then heads to Evansville, Ind., for three games starting next Friday.

GRAND BAYOU -- Most decisions about the details of a huge class-action settlement of damage claims from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill will come from stately offices and a federal courtroom in New Orleans.
But the consequences will reach farther south, where Louisianans - many of them subsistence fishermen - count on swampy bayous and gray Gulf waves for their livelihood, and are struggling to support themselves on catches they say have dwindled to a fifth of their pre-spill numbers.
''It just ain't there anymore,'' said Maurice Phillips, a 58-year-old fisherman and trapper from Grand Bayou who traces his ancestry to the region's first Native American residents.
Phillips is one of hundreds of fishermen who must decide by Thursday whether his share of a proposed $2.3 billion settlement fund will make up for the losses he suffered when BP's Macondo well spilled millions of gallons of crude oil into the waters where he and his family have fished for generations.
The Seafood Compensation Program fund is part of a larger proposed settlement between BP and Gulf Coast residents who suffered economic or health damages from the spill.
It would compensate seafood vessel owners, commercial fishermen and their crews for damages suffered from April 20, 2010, when the Macondo well blew out, to April 16 of this year.
In the beginning of October, a court-supervised clearinghouse reported that it had received 7,115 claims and had made $105 million in offers to about 700 claimants, half of whom had accepted the payments at that point.
Under the Oil Pollution Act, a company that spills oil - in this case, BP - must compensate for economic damages caused by the spill.
The fate of the Gulf Coast fishermen - and the extent of their current and future damages - is one of the central questions facing U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier as he begins a hearing Nov. 8 into whether the proposed settlement is fair.
A big rebound
In an August defense of the proposed settlement, BP lawyers argued that the shellfish industry has rebounded almost completely to its pre-spill level, citing testimony from Henry Fishkind, an economist who frequently provides expert testimony on business and tourism data.
''2011 shrimp harvests are in line with pre-spill years,'' Fishkind wrote in a declaration that BP used as support for its claim that the spill had no negative effect on Gulf shrimp populations.
Fishkind used data on shrimp catches in 2010, comparing them with 2007 through 2009. He said provisions in the settlement that set the losses at 35 percent are generous, based on industry data.
Gulf fishermen, however, say the 2011 and 2012 shrimp seasons have been much worse, attributing the falloff to harm done the crustaceans by dispersants used to break up and sink the spilled oil.
''We are finding shrimp with big sores on them,'' said Wayne Guidry, a 51-year-old deckhand from Galliano. ''It's something I never saw in all my life, and I've been working these boats since I was a kid. It's scary.''
Catches down sharply
Shrimp boat dock landing data from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries indicates that catches in the fall 2011 and spring 2012 shrimping
seasons dropped as much as 50 percent, said Joel Waltzer, a New Orleans lawyer representing many of the fishermen.
The fishermen fear that the shrimp and oyster populations in South Louisiana will go the way of the once-ubiquitous herring in Alaska's Prince William Sound, still absent two decades after the tanker Exxon Valdez spilled oil there.
''They don't understand the shrimp and oysters are never going to come back,'' said Chad Phillips, a 30-year-old fisherman from Grand Bayou who grew up shrimping with his father and brother. ''All that dispersant they put in the water to sink the oil down, it keeps washing up on the beach. The shrimp is a bottom feeder - that stuff is going to kill it.''
Cash-based work
Whatever their losses may be, getting compensation under the proposed settlement presents further challenges for people better equipped to navigate murky coastal waterways than legal channels.
Their traditional economy is cash-based, but the settlement requires tax forms and proof of income based on trip tickets - documents issued by the docks that serve as the link between fishermen and commercial purchasers.
Fishermen who can provide the paperwork can expect two to five years of income in compensation.
Lack of paperwork
Those who can't will get far less, perhaps because they made cash deals independent of the docks.
''A lot of the old fishermen sold for cash and don't have trip tickets,'' said Sean Phillips, a 45-year-old fisherman from Port Sulphur. ''They don't sell to the docks, and right now it's bad for them. You can say you sold $30,000 of shrimp before the oil spill, but it was all cash profit. If you don't have the paperwork, you don't have nothing.''
Waltzer has argued that the seafood settlement should include a bottom threshold, guaranteeing some payment to the poorest fishermen who otherwise might be shut out.
''One of our big concerns is that if you do something that rewards based on your record, you reward the lucky,'' Waltzer said. ''The fishermen who don't make enough to pay taxes recover basically nothing, and never will, regardless of unfolding events or even a fishery collapse.''
Those in fishing communities close to the spill have also complained that the settlement's compensation formula - a flat percentage of claimed losses - doesn't reflect the disproportionate damage done to the catch in their areas.
The bigger question
By Thursday, claimants in the seafood industry must decide whether to accept whatever payment the settlement may bring if Judge Barbier approves it, or opt out and gamble that they can fare better pursuing individual lawsuits.
But for the Gulf Coast fishermen, the larger question looms of whether the disaster dealt their lifestyle a fatal blow.
''This is one of the last true fishing bayou communities in the world,'' Maurice Phillips said. ''I'm going to be 59 years old. What am I going to do five, six, 10 years down the road? The same thing happened in Alaska, and the people never got back right. That's all I do - shrimp and trap. I don't have no education to go work in the oil field or an office. This is what the Good Lord gave me. I'm a commercial fisherman.''
Gulf fishermen confront Thursday deadline in oil-spill settlement
GRAND BAYOU -- Most decisions about the details of a huge class-action settlement of damage claims from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill will come from stately offices and a federal courtroom in New Orleans.

Olympus Debuts Functional Brain Mapping and High Speed Physiology Multiphoton System
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., September 17, 2013 – The Olympus FluoView® FVMPE-RS, a dedicated multiphoton microscope system, enables high-precision, ultra-fast scanning and stimulation, allowing researchers to see deep within specimens, take measurements at the highest speeds, and capture images even when working under the most demanding conditions.
With its high speed and precision performance, the FVMPE-RS is designed for electrophysiology and optogenetics studies. It is also a good match for applications such as high-speed calcium and in vivo imaging, peristalsis and blood flow studies, mosaic imaging, connectomics and functional brain imaging, stem cell research, and any field that requires precise colocalization, uncaging, simultaneous imaging/stimulation, extensive real-time signal processing, or multipoint mapping. Its design offers ready adaptability for researchers who design their own custom-built optical delivery as well.
The new system offers unmatched speed. The FVMPE-RS captures 438 frames per second (fps) at 512x32, the fastest rate commercially available. It also captures full-frame, 512x512 images at 30fps without any reduction of the field of view, a critical feature for many functional imaging studies. Its scanner unit combines a newly designed resonant scanner with a galvanometer scanner to provide both speed and excellent definition. The resonant scanner offers an exclusive non-linear sampling method for smooth imaging without intensity variation or image distortion, and greatly minimizes line jitter at any zoom factor. An optional third galvanometer scanner is also available for simultaneous imaging with 3D stimulation or uncaging in a given optical section. The system's multipoint mapping capability allows ultra-high-speed stimulation along with measurement of rapid fluctuations in groups of cells for functional imaging studies, 3D intensity measurement or mapping with high signal-to-noise performance.
In addition to speed, the FVMPE-RS offers optimal performance when imaging live cells and tissues. It provides multicolor, multiphoton excitation and imaging with a choice of lasers, along with an industry-first four-axis auto-alignment capability for precise colocalization and coalignment without pixel shift. With its multiple-laser-line performance, researchers can image with two colors at optimal wavelength excitation simultaneously while stimulating the sample with visible light, or image with one infrared (IR) laser while simultaneously stimulating with IR and/or visible light. The system delivers sharp images with clear separation of fluorescence proteins for analysis.
The high-sensitivity system offers excellent throughput from 400nm to 1600nm. New 1600 Coating technology provides industry-leading broadband transmission without sacrificing the ability to stimulate at lower wavelengths (such as 405nm for glutamate uncaging or 458nm for channelrhodopsin stimulation). The new coating allows the system to support the latest InSight™ lasers from Spectra-Physics®, providing researchers with the ability to image near-IR dyes such as Cy5 and Cy7. The Olympus line of 25x multiphoton optimized objectives also feature this new coating, and offer working distances of 2, 4 or 8mm to deliver super-deep imaging. Light collection efficiency is further improved by the FVMPE-RS system's optimized light path. In Deep Focus Mode, researchers can adjust laser properties precisely to account for tissue scattering, helping optimize deep-tissue imaging by achieving signal improvements of 20 percent or more over comparable systems. An optional high-sensitivity cooled gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) detector unit further enhances sensitivity while minimizing electrical noise, making the most out of the system's high-speed capabilities.
The system's precision timing allows for microsecond repeatability and control of multiple imaging and stimulation protocols, as well as millisecond repeatability over days of time-lapse imaging. Complex multi-position imaging or optogenetic stimulation protocols can be accomplished using the advanced stage control and sequence manager. The new system's multichannel analog box for triggering, synchronization and signal input provides additional support for advanced electrophysiology studies and other applications requiring external device triggering. The advanced optional nosepiece piezo drive provides greater rigidity and faster z-plane stabilization to ensure accurate and repeatable high-speed focus performance.
The FVMPE-RS is designed to be simple to use and require minimal alignment, thanks to its robust auto-alignment system and easy touch-panel control. Enhanced temperature stability and a highly rigid frame make it an ideal foundation for live cell experiments.

The season finale kicks off with Gretchen and Slade arriving fashionably late to Vicki's Winter Wonderland Party. They act like everything is fine and dandy with the group until Slade gives a backhanded compliment to Lydia.
Soon after her entrance, Gretchen confronts Ryan about him not allowing Brooks over Vicki's place. She questions why he has any right or say as to who Vicki can or can't have over her own house.
Soon after, Lydia's pot-head mother arrives to the party. Sorry Judy, but there is no "green" at this white party.
Gretchen and Heather hash out issues about their actor world drama. According to Gretchen, Heather is making it clear that she is the actor of the group and no one should try to compete with her. Heather challenges her and Gretchen feels bad but believes that the conversation should be a little more of a two-way street.
Gretchen is constantly apologizing to Heather and thinks that Heather is always perfect and right. At end of the heated discussion the two women hug and make up and are glad they talked it out.
Vicki gives Tamra a friendship bracelet that is bigger and better than what Gretchen gave to Tamra earlier. Tamra has been dealing with all her issues and problems from her past and finally makes amends with Jim Bellino in an emotional apology. Tamra is happy she is able to be the bigger person in situations such as this.
From inside the house everyone hears Ryan yell at Lydia's mom for putting her feet up on the couch.
"I own live here," Ryan said as he threatened to kick Judy out of his mother-in-law's party. Ryan flips out and goes crazy exclaiming how she was disrespecting the house.
Did Judy fairy dust the wrong person? It seems like she is not the type of person looking for trouble or to start an argument. Lydia gathers her mom and gets ready to go when Vicki runs after them to prevent them from leaving the party.
Ryan's inner white trash comes out when he swears at the 64 year old woman and needs to stop over-stepping his boundaries as roommate in Vicki's house. It is her house and she needs to step up and make the rules.
Vicki spins this situation back to Brooks and says that she will start seeing him again Briana promises that if he comes around then she will move out.
Late in the evening, Vicki feels inspired by Slade and confronts him on the inappropriate behavior in his recent past. She whips out her new bacon vodka in honor of her "Miss Piggy" nickname. All of a sudden everything goes out of control. The group sticks up for Vicki and attacks Slade on his derogatory remarks about women's appearances. Why crack on Vicki's looks at all? She is beautiful inside and out, but Slade doesn't get it ... he is always putting down women by his comments.
Lydia is a little ball of spitfire and lashes out again Slade and his fiance Gretchen and calls them "dirty."
We'll have to wait until the three-part reunion to figure out the impending questions about our favorite women in Orange County.
"This year has been interesting. It's been mercurial. It's been exciting at times; incredibly upsetting at times ... but that's friendship." -- Heather Dubrow.

I apologize for fibbing a few weeks ago about the tentative blog schedule. This should have been wedding media files and it should have been last week. However, the photographers and videographers union have been "locked-out" of their facilities until they can agree on a new collective bargaining agreement and salary cap.
Needless to say, the wedding was a perfect mess and it was still a magically enchanted night with fireflies and unicorns. We had a great time mooning our honeys and will have the pictures of white people dancing, videos of Danielle's Dad balling, and instagrams of our make-shift photo booth and props from the wedding back and up hopefully by next week. But that is not the context of the blogging expedition…
This typing trip will address the 'now what' in our lives? 'Our time to shine' has come and gone quick but that is okay because all good things come to an end. And with that 'end' a new 'beginning' is upon us and we are ready to spearhead the next chapter like a South African fisherman hunting a Great White (Shark Week starts 7/31).
Now, that all the wedding hoopla has toned down it has been nice to be able to go bed at a decent hour with my fingertips still intact, without having burned them off with a hot glue gun. There are no more late nights wasting our time doing seating charts that we had to throw out the window anyway because we had 20+ people come who either RSVPd that they weren't coming and came, brought an unaccounted for guest, or just flat out weren't invited and came because they assumed their invite was lost in the mail, awkward!
This frees up more time for the little things that are important in life like working-out after work, perfecting my cooking skills, and watching my DVRed programs like "Pardon the Interruption" and "So You Think You Can Dance." Those are great but this is more about the bigger things in life.
Where to go? What to do? Who to see? And how we're going to do it? This is where I would like to open up rush and start recruiting people. In the short term, the first place in want to go is Portland/Eugene, Oregon. Ducks football, Nike Headquarters, Tillamook Cheese, and Rogue Brewery are calling my name.
Who doesn't want to see football in the fall in the loudest stadium in the country? You can turn your swag on and step up your show game at the hub of sports culture. I like cheese, you like cheese, even lactose intolerants eat cheese and deal with the consequences later because cheese is so good. And why not wash all that creamy fun down with an ice cold beer that is so good that some might say the're "Oregasmic."
The timeline I'm looking at is the Jewish holiday weekend of Sukkot, 10/13-10/16 and it's the ideal weekend to go! Let me tell you why. The Ducks will be taking on the Sun Devils of Arizona State. Which means the mustard and maroon will be rained on with the sickest uniforms in the game both literally and figuratively. If you're a UNLV fan and don't want to miss a glorious tailgate (if they even exist) don't fret for even one sec because we will be in the quaint town of Laramie, Wyoming visiting the Cowboys that weekend.
Oregon in the heart of Fall is absolutely breathtaking, or so Google Images tells me. Not to mention flights are 'farely' cheap right now. We would fly into PDX the evening of 10/13 or morning of 10/14. Your trusty tour guide will make sure you get all the bathroom breaks and photo opps you need to complete your tourist experience at Nike, Tillamook, and Rogue.
Right now, the game time Saturday 10/15 is officially TBA but I have read some forums which indicate an 1:00pm kickoff time. Which can only mean one thing "Kegs and Eggs"!!!! Relive your Freshman year by waking up in a hotel room and start the day off right with a beer for breakfast. We'll 'road-trip it' into the beautiful college town nice and early. I will even provide complimentary "The Oregonian" newspapers for the short and scenic ride.
During the game we'll make friends in the student section to get the buzz on the post-game festivities. We'll walk by random houses, see goofy white kids in basketball shorts playing beer pong on their porches and be welcomed exuberantly to join because everyone in Oregon is either happy or high.
We'll stumble home and crash in our comfy yet small motel room sleeping three-to-a-bed for real estate purposes. Head out first thing in the morning stopping at the Original Original House of Pancakes to soothe any rumbling tummies before we board the short flight back home.
SO WHO'S COMING WITH ME?!?! Please come… if no one wants to come I will be stuck trying to convince Danielle that Oregon is for lovers not Ohio and that the Rose Garden is the most romantic place on Earth.

The 21-year-old has been out for three months after undergoing surgery on a fractured foot, meaning the Reds have been forced to cope with Luis Suarez as their only senior striking option.
And, despite the Uruguayan seemingly thriving under the pressure - having notched 19 goals already this season - Rodgers is keen to get Borini back.
"Other clubs have the depth to bring people off the bench and make an impact," Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo.
"We have been unable to do that in the opening months of the season, which gives incredible credit to the players who have kept us going until now.
|Andre Wisdom is 20/1 with William Hill to score at anytime against Man Utd
"We have Daniel here now and will have Fabio fit soon and that will give us that spark. Hopefully over the years Fabio can develop into a top performer which I think he can be."
Rodgers also took time out to praise young defender Andre Wisdom, after the 19-year-old signed a new long-term deal at Anfield.
"I'm delighted for Andre," Rodgers told the club's official website. "He's a young player that's really impressed me with his attitude and football qualities over the course of these first six months and he's grabbed his opportunity.
"I'm delighted he's committed and sees his future here at the football club and the hard work starts again for him.
"It's a really exciting time for Andre and all the young players at the club. I'm as delighted as I was when Luis Suarez signed a new deal in the summer because every player that commits is a symbol of our togetherness and our unity here - and he obviously wants to be a part of that.
"For Andre the message is to continue to work hard and learn from the great coaches and the people that are around you and make sure that your next contract is signed here at Liverpool."

I totally agree, I think that a recognised set of browser support standards would be very useful.
As you pointed out, Yahoo set the pace or at least popularised the idea of graded browser support (gbs), I think the BBC's Browser Support Standards Work Group have taken it further with clearer definitions of those levels of support:
Browser Support Standards v3.3
I think having a common set of support level definitions would help manage client/stake-holder expectations.
Andy Clarke has written some excellent posts recently on browser support and related issues with client/stakeholder expectations, these being very good:
Time to stop showing clients static design visuals
Five CSS design browser differences I can live with
Maybe along with ACID3, a standard support definition could be hosted on Wasp.
Nice post Jeremy.

The book The Children of Men, set in England a decade hence, portrays a Great Britain in which the male sperm count has dropped to zero.
It would be easy to dismiss the book as yet another dystopian novel, but it may contain a kernel of truth. That's because the just-published results of perhaps the largest assessment yet confirm that male sperm counts do appear to be steadily declining.
The paper (see .pdf in Human Reproduction) report on a study of more than 26,000 Frenchmen that found a significant and continuous 32.2 percent decrease in semen concentration over a 17-year period, at a rate of about 1.9 percent a year.
Now I know what some of you are thinking — a world with fewer Frenchmen in it is not such a bad thing.
Lover of croissants that I am, I'm not sure I agree with that, but it's a fair assumption that the finding holds not just for Frenchmen, but for a lot of other men around the world.
The study comes after a recent assessment of sperm counts in men, looking at a broad array of studies, concluded that more and better data were needed to draw definitive conclusions. The study of Frenchmen comes pretty close to satisfying this. The decline does indeed appear to be real and quite significant.
So what's causing the decline? There is some evidence that prenatal exposure to certain chemicals, such as plasticizers like phthalate, can adversely affect male reproductive development in humans.
But there is no definitive answer yet.
What constitutes a low sperm count? According to the Mayo Clinic, a sperm count is considered lower than normal if you have fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. Having a low sperm count decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg, but men with a low sperm count can still conceive.
It only takes one, after all.

The Golden Eagles took a pair of tough road losses as it fell to Kentucky 9-0 in five innings and 4-3 in 10 innings.
Game two of Saturday's doubleheader saw Kentucky grab the early lead as it scored an unearned run in the bottom of the second off Tech starter Holly Thomas.
The Golden Eagle offense responded quickly in the top of the third as five straight batters reached, including a pair of RBI hits from Brittney Spalding and Callie Schmidt, to take the lead at 2-1.
Tech added another run in the top of the fourth on an RBI triple from Melody Christian, but Kentucky answer right back in the bottom of the frame with solo home run from UK's Rachel Riley, to pull back within one at 3-2.
A Wildcat RBI single in the bottom of the sixth knotted up the score at three, as the game went into extra innings.
Holly Thomas, who pitched eight innings while striking out six, was lifted for Claudia Harke in the bottom of the ninth. Harke managed to get out of a two-out jam in the bottom of the ninth, but Kentucky's Samantha DeMartine hit a walk-off home run to center field in the bottom of the 10th to take the game 4-3.
Chanda Bell came away the winner as she pitched 7.2 innings, to improve to 11-5 on the season. Harke took her second loss of the day as she pitched one inning, while striking out one.
Tech opened the doubleheader with a 9-0 loss in five innings. UK's Lauren Cumbess won her fifth game of the season, while Harke took the loss, giving up a two runs in as many innings.
At the plate, Tech managed just three hits off the bats of Christian, Chanelle Spalding and Schmidt.
Tech (16-21, 7-11 OVC) continues its road trip Wednesday, as it takes on Jacksonville State in a conference doubleheader beginning at 3 p.m.

Mortgage rates moved modestly higher for some lenders today, while others remained closer to unchanged territory. Following Wednesday's swing to 6-month highs, this leaves the average rate sheet somewhere between there and yesterday's. In terms of the actual interest rate, 3.625% remains as the most prevalent "best-execution" rate, with relatively small adjustments in costs vs yesterday. Market movements during US trading hours have been relatively subdued for mortgage-backed-securities, or "MBS...
