More Than Amazing
- Artist: Stephanie Thamas
- Genre: Gospel
- Release Date: 9/2/2008
At a young age, Stephanie had a profound drawing to music that she has and will carry with her through out her life. Coming from a very large family of musicians, it was always her dream to follow in the same footsteps. As a young child, Stephanie would sing in churches with her siblings and mother, while her father would play the guitar or piano. She would sing in church choirs and talent shows and at the age of 11, Stephanie had her first studio experience. In high school is when she realized that she was called to use her talent for the Lord. While she sang in her academy's chorale, she learned several vocal techniques and had the opportunity of meeting other singers and tour with the chorale. She again had the opportunity to go back to the studio and record background vocals for her mother's debut album. During her first year of college, Stephanie wanted to further her music career, but the pressures of being a student overshadowed her dream to continue singing. In early 2007, Stephanie met one of her producers, Lenny Salcedo, and while singing randomly and having conversations of how she felt that when she sang for the Lord it made her feel at peace, he told her that he liked her voice and wanted to record. That summer, Stephanie traveled to the Dominican Republic where she recorded her up and coming bilingual debut album titled "More Than Amazing/ Mas Que Maravilloso". While in the Dominican Republic, Stephanie met up with producers, Lenny and his partner, Juan Pablo Aquino. She had the opportunity of meeting several Christian artists, some of which whom were recording their albums and other very experienced artist that gave her advice. Stephanie has dedicated her voice to the Lord and has realized that her voice, along with the making of this album, is for God's purpose.

Since its release last month, Gemini's Mercury EP has been appearing on charts worldwide and we are beginning to see more official remixes slowly roll out, starting with the KillSonik's heavy electro house take on "Robots," previewed on SoundCloud last week. This morning, Thomas divulged that a Chrome Sparks remix was imminent and here we are, grateful and satisfied. While more mellow and relaxing than the other variations, this production obviously rubbed Gemini the right way because he decided to re-record his own special vocals just for this mix. The final outcome is magical. This is another one of those moments when I can't stress enough how important it is to listen to the music on this site with a decent set of speakers. If you're one of those people that only uses iPod earbuds or a laptop, realize that you are hearing the music in a way that it wasn't meant to be heard. Just a little food for thought.

I started converting one of the projects I work on to use the StructureMap DI/IOC framework. The previous framework I used was a super simple one that was built in house. When switching to StructureMap the plethora of options was a concern at first but once I started the conversion I was amazed how easy it went. However, there was one subtle difference between the behavior of the old framework I used and StructureMap around object lifecycle.
By default, the old framework created a new instance of an object every time it encountered its corresponding interface in a given object graph. I had assumed that was the same behavior StructureMap would use but I was wrong. StructureMap's default is called PerRequest.
So when you just write this:
It will create a new instance of Thing only once per object graph. What that means is if in a given graph with 3 classes that all have IThing in their constructor they will all receive the same instance of the Thing object.
This is an issue since I have a couple classes that unfortunately have mutable state and do not behave well if the same instance is used. To fix this I just needed to tell StructureMap to always use a unique instance:
For<IThing>().LifecycleIs(new UniquePerRequestLifecycle()).Use<Thing>();
I personally think this should be the default behavior and any instance reuse should be specifically declared instead. At least it was easy enough to change.

Towards the end of October my eldest daughter turned 8 (yikes – where did the time go?!!!) and she had a Pamper Party at The Zen Den (which I highly recommend to anyone in Melbourne).
She had an amazing time with 11 other girls – they were treated to foot spas, manicures, face masks and pampered for an afternoon in a gorgeous Balinese Hut
Lily & i had spotted the M&M illusion cake in our travels and she was keen for me to try it, so I decided to do every version of an M&M cake in one so there were plenty of options for anyone wanting to try it
The cake had M&M figurines…
…and M&M's secretly hidden inside so that they tumbled out once the cake was cut..
…and it had the illusion of an M&M packet tipping M&M's over the cake
Thankfully I took photos once I finished the cake because the next morning I woke up to two of the M&M figurines at the bottom of the cake (it was a humid night in Melbourne).
Further disaster struck when my husband was driving me to the party and not taking the slow corner I asked him to take and M&M's went flying all around his car and then the cake almost slid off the cake stand as I got out of the car!! If it hadn't been for my girlfriend waiting for me outside the party I think I would have thrown the cake into the gutter. I was well and truly over it!!!!
Nonetheless.. I present to you the M&M cake!
Recipe used see here
If you are making a larger cake than this 6″ and 4″ cake then you will need to add in the proper support. See this tutorial for help!

In a blog post April 2011 I wrote how people where tattooing QR codes on their bodies. QR codes are so versatile which can be used even in the saddest time of our lives…the loss of a loved one. This past weekend I read an article about a company in Seattle, Washington designing and carving quality custom headstones, memorials and monuments with QR codes on them. Headstones will always be placed at the memorial place of resting for our loved ones. But thanks to the ever changing world of Mobile who would have ever thought of a QR-tagged gravestone. Now amidst the zeitgeist of smartphones, iPads and the Internet (and social media specifically) QR codes are a very real part of memorialization. This is a great idea to remember your love one's story in stone to help families express their love, preserve their family heritage and work through the grieving process.
With this modern age of Mobile Marketing today, a person can take a picture of a QR code embedded on one's headstone and sent it to a love one in another part of the world or leave their condolences right on their own website. Below I share with you a youtube video of just how amazing this QR process is. To learn more about our services please CLICK here or you can simply fill out a CONTACT sheet or reach us by cell phone at 905.981.8761. We would love to help you save your client or love one's story in stone.

Sven-Goran Eriksson has said that he is "crossing his fingers that nothing stupid will happen" when England fans gather in Macedonia for the Euro 2004 qualifier tomorrow.
Some supporters have defied Football Association requests not to travel to Skopje. No tickets have been taken by the FA, which means England fans who go will be alongside Macedonia supporters.
Eriksson said: "Some of our players, myself and the FA have always said it is not a good idea to come. I can do very little about it, I'm just crossing my fingers that nothing stupid will happen.
"It is a new thing for me. We have to live with it. Hopefully it will not be that that decides if we win or lose the game."
Eriksson admitted that he is relieved to have David Beckham fit. Beckham was in doubt after sustaining a groin injury playing for Real Madrid at Villareal on Tuesday but has responded well to treatment.
Eriksson said of Macedonia: "It's a very difficult game for us. I saw all their games on tape so far and they did well when they played us in Southampton.
"I was impressed with the game in Turkey (which they lost 3-2). They were excellent in the first half and they deserved to win."

For the first time since the Indiana University School of Dentistry was established 133 years ago, more women have enrolled in the program than men. Sixty women were accepted this year to the dentistry program compared to 44 men.
IU School of Dentistry Dean John Williams says the national trend shows more women are entering all scientific professions, and dentistry is no exception.
"We look for a core of biomedical sciences knowledge and expertise," Williams says. "I think that as opportunities have been open for women in the sciences, that we're seeing that manifestation in their application to dentistry."
The class that is entering the dentistry school this year will graduate in 2016.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this course different from other Arabic courses available online?
The Nassra Arabic Method is the only personalised, on-demand, and interactive online tool for learning spoken Arabic. It was created after a decade of research by Omar and Khaled Nassra. It has been tested on hundreds of our foreign students. It is the only online Arabic course where you are guaranteed to put your newly-acquired language skills into practice immediately.
Why a spoken Arabic course?
There are two branches of the Arabic language: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and colloquial, that is spoken Arabic. Most people begin to learn MSA thinking that this is the language used to communicate day to day in the Middle East. However, MSA is not used in day to day communication, as it is to Arabic what Shakespearean English is to English.
What does the Nassra Arabic course entail?
Arabic Lessons are delivered online primarily via video and audio, with PDF supplements. Omar and Khaled present a series of videos, from beginner to advanced, using their proven Arabic language teaching techniques. The videos are interactive and tailored in a way to help you advance quickly in the language in a way most useful to you.
What happens after I purchase the course?
You will receive an email with your password and your username within 5 minutes and you can then simply log in and get started learning Arabic right away!
Will I notice a difference in my Arabic speaking after just 30 days?
Provided you follow the daily lessons and assignments, you will improve quickly. So confident are we, that if you do not notice a difference in your Arabic, we will give you your money back.
Do I have to commit to paying for a certain amount of months?
No. You can pay month-by-month and cancel anytime. There is an option to pay 12 months in advance at a reduced rate. However, if you are not happy with the programme, you can cancel and receive your remaining balance.
Are my credit card details secure?
Of course. We process payments through Paypal which securely stores and encrypts your private information.
Happy Clients
Khaled's major strength is his ability to connect, to understand how to help me learn (what's important, strategies for daily learning, how to recognise obstacles and overcome them, reviewing this regularly). He focuses on communication, which is brilliant – we speak a lot and this really helps my confidence. I find him a really intuitive, encouraging and patient teacher.
James Eyre
I definitely recommend the Nassra Arabic Method to everyone who wants to gain immediate confidence in speaking Arabic in practical and effective wayCheryl Brumley
I would highly recommend Khaled Nassra as an Arabic Tutor. I studied Media Arabic with him for a month. The Course was very well prepared and provided me with a solid foundation of the language of media."Edward Posnett Oxford University
"I found Omar an excellent teacher and achieved more in the limited time available to me than I had expected. I learned the alphabet, and am now able to read and write; we covered some basic grammar; I gained a reasonable vocabulary (perhaps 300 – 400 words) in areas relevant to my forthcoming job as Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Riyadh and to life there; and I feel I have an understanding of the way in which Arabic works – sentence construction etc. All in all, this should help considerably as I assimilate the culture in Saudi Arabia, and gives me sound framework for further study in-country. Omar was friendly, patient and clear, understanding my needs and pitching the lessons appropriately. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a teacher of Arabic. I should be happy to be contacted direct (firstname.lastname@example.com) in case of need. "

Christmas Wish List: 13 yr old Boy
This is my 13 Year Old Son's Christmas List!
I am finishing up my Christmas Shopping for my kids! I will be posting all of my kid's Christmas Lists to give you all some ideas. But I won't say which one I'm buying! They will have to wait and find out! But I would love your input!
This son is active and intellectual. He loves logic puzzles, and playing basketball! He is a very fun kid and I'm always curious to see what he will ask for for Christmas!
Syma Spycam 3.5 Channel RC Helicopter with Gyro – $34.90
He likes remote control helicopters and he thinks it would be really cool if he could also have a spy cam so he could fly it far away and still see where it was. I guess his scout leader has one of these and they were having fun with it last week!
Meffert Gearball Puzzle – $23.38
He likes Rubik's Cube and the Smaz Time Machine and he thinks this would be a fun puzzle too! I love that he likes these logic games so I would be happy to add this to his collection but I hope he never asks me to help him solve it!
Franklin Grip-Rite 100 Basketball – $16.09
He is always outside playing basketball with his brothers and his dad. His old ball has seen a lot of use and he probably does need a new ball.
Gildan Hooded Sweatshirt – $15.48
He won't wear a coat to school no matter how cold it gets but he will wear hoodies! This hoodie is nice and warm and he likes it plus I am very happy about the price!
Sphero 2.0 – App Controlled Robotic Ball – $99.99
This is all he has talked about for the last week! I guess one of his friends has one of these and it is "The coolest thing ever!"

Not all heart attacks are the same, and Camden County emergency workers can now identify one that requires quick treatment to avoid long-term damage.
Rescue workers call the really bad one a STEMI.
The acronym comes from ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. That is the name of a heart attack that results from a sudden blockage in one of three coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart.
STEMIs are of great concern to rescue workers and doctors, not only because they can be fatal but because, if left untreated for more than 90 minutes, they can cause lasting damage to the heart muscle. Victims who do not receive prompt treatment almost always suffer lasting cardiac damage and are rarely able to return to work or inactive lifestyle.
Technology now in place on Camden County Fire Rescue ambulances all but guarantees victims suffering from STEMIs will get the treatment they need within that important 90-minute window.
"Out of all the programs we do this has been the most successful," said Assistant Rescue Chief Charles Lowther.
The program is a public-private partnership between the county and UF Health of Jacksonville. Through the partnership Camden County purchased five transmitters that send readings from the EKG machines on the ambulances to UF Health. Although not currently required to do so by the state, Camden County carries advanced, 12-lead EKG machines on all five of the "frontline" ambulances. Those machines give rescue workers better readings and help diagnose different types of heart attacks.
The benefit of the partnership comes from the transmitters. The program began in May of 2012.
"Prior to that we couldn't transmit 12-lead EKGs," said Lowther. "We could look at them and interpret them but we didn't have the luxury of a board-certified physician on the other end saying, 'Yeah I agree with y'all.'"
Now that rescue workers have that luxury, they are able to quickly get confirmation that a patient is suffering from a STEMI, and the victim can be transported directly to UF Health. According to Lowther the county transports two to three STEMI patients per month to the Jacksonville hospital.
Southeast Georgia Health System in Camden County is not able to treat STEMI patients. In the past patients that went to the local hospital could only be diagnosed there but they still had be sent to Jacksonville for treatment.
"That could often take three or four hours," Lowther said. "By that time the damage to the heart muscle had already been done."
Now, rescue workers can hook a patient up to the EKG machine within minutes of arriving at the scene. It takes about 3 minutes to get a reading and only nine seconds to transmit the information to the hospital. According to Lowther ambulances can get patients to Jacksonville in as little as 35 minutes.
"We really have extended the lab into the field," said Interim Fire Chief Mark Crews.
Since the program began every STEMI sufferer that the members of Lowther's team have picked up have made it to Jacksonville within the 90-minute window. Except one. That patient survived but did suffer lasting cardiac damage. The patient acknowledged she endured five hours of chest pains before calling an ambulance, Lowther said.
The transmitters work through cellular signals and are about the the size of a deck of cards.. They cost the county $35 per month to operatem, County Administator Steve Howard said. The total cost of the transmitters — about $2,400 — was reimbursed to the county by UF Health, through a grant, as part of the partnership.
"It really is neat technology," Howard said.
The efforts of Crews, Lowther and Howard will be recognized April 11 in Savannah. Representatives from the county and UF Health will receive the Public-Private Partnership of the Year award at the centennial conference of The Association County Commissioners of Georgia.
"This is huge in the medical community, and it is not part of what we are required to do," said Crews, who added that it is one of many reasons the county has award-winning emergency service.
Crews and Lowther are not content to stop with that accomplishment. They are currently testing new technology to use iPads to help diagnose stroke victims. The service would allow doctors and rescue workers to communicate with video and audio. They expect that program to be put into service in about six months.

Yard Sales: Some Handy Tips to Make Them Profitable Ventures
Organizing a garage sale will enable you to give freedom to your cluttered home from rummage. Moreover, it will enable you to garner some quick money. It may happen that you have certain domestic items that you don't want any longer though they are in perfect condition. These items may be sought by your neighbors if they prove to be helpful for them. If you have heaps of goods that you want to get rid of then yard sales will be your best bet. There is no reason to support your hoarding of used items when you don't want them.
There is no fixed list that contains specific saleable items to be displayed at the local garage sales. Furniture sets, CD/DVD, books, utensils, old electronic systems, antique items and even toys can find buyers and fetch good money at these home-based business initiatives. Virtually all sorts of household items can find takers at the rummage sale. But remember that you cannot fix exorbitant price for old and used items nor you can eye at selling them at retail price; you can only expect to fetch a percentage of their original price. However, the case is different for antique items or precious metal and stone-studded jewelry. Always keep in mind that majority of the garage sale customers visit the venues to avail domestic items at discount price. So, fixing an attractive price is crucial.
Although garage sales signify at organizing the events at the garages, you should not lose your heart even if you don't own a garage. It can be hold anywhere in your private property, including yard, garden, rooftop, porch, basement etc. But you need to prepare your homework well regarding conducting a yard sale at your home. Much before trying your hand at the home-based commercial initiative, you need to visit several places in and around your neighborhood where local yard sales take place. Thoroughly go through them and prepare a comprehensive list consisting of the product varieties, their price, their display styles, the top-draws in the item range and so on. You should also check how the organizers promote their initiatives.
The value of advertising cannot be ignored in garage sale though it is conducted on small scale. Advertise garage sale via the local newspaper business column section, post your ad on local bulletin board, and utilize the web space. Make sure to post flyers and distribute leaflets at every major crowded place in your locality. Never forget to mention your personal contact details and special merchandise on the printed papers.
Customize glow signs and place them at the busy intersections within a radius of few kilometers around your locality. They will attract the attention of the automobile drivers even during night time. The signs should be removed following the yard sale; otherwise you will continue to receive enquiries even when they are not required at all.
Organizing yard sales is fun activity. It is also quite profitable and can generate unexpectedly substantial amount of money, but proper attention should guide it through.

Shumei Taiko Ensemble Drummers. In ancient Japan, the beat of a drum or âœtaikoâ accompanied petitions to God. Today, the ceremony lives on and is called "Mikotonori," in which the sound of drumming bridges the divide between the human and the divine. The thunder of taiko is pure. It cleanses both the senses and the surroundings of those who pray. Mikotonori is a prayer in which the hopes and thankfulness of those participating rise straight to God. Such occasions of transcendence are known as "kanno doko," moments in which the spiritual and physical worlds speak to each other and are entwined with divine light. It was at such a moment that the ShumeiTaiko Ensemble was born.
Shumei Taiko Ensemble believes that art can touch every human being despite the differences of language, customs, race and religion. The mystical power which springs from the artistâ™s soup passes through the written word, the picture and the musical instrument, and plucks at the soul of all humankind. It is our goal to bring all hearts together in a united call for world peace.

|Labyrinth Society. Prehistoric labyrinths are believed to have served either as traps for malevolent spirits or as defined paths for ritual dances. During Medieval times the labyrinth symbolized a hard path to the God with a clearly defined center (God) and one entrance (birth). Labyrinths can be thought of as symbolic forms of pilgrimage; people can walk the path, ascending towards salvation or enlightenment. Many people could not afford to simply travel to holy sites and lands, so the use of labyrinths and prayer substituted that need. Later, the religious significance of labyrinths faded and they were used primarily for entertainment, although recently their spiritual aspect has seen resurgence. Many newly-made labyrinths exist today, in churches and parks, to provide people with a meditative way to relieve stresses and regrets.

Wisdom from Donna Gates
Life is not supposed to be easy. We come here to learn to be a kinder, more loving and more courageous soul. Just as we grow from a small infant to an adult, our soul must grow from infancy to maturity as well.
Sometimes babies are diagnosed with a medical condition called, "failure to thrive." Too many of us suffer from "soul failure to thrive" simply because we are afraid to fail.
But failure is good. If we try and we fail we learn humility, a wonderful quality to master. But failure is a great teacher only if we have the courage to pick ourselves back up again and keep pursuing our dreams.
Courage is like a muscle. Every time we attempt to do something and fail, it's an opportunity to exercise our courage muscle and make it grow stronger.
My father taught me courage.
In October 1953, at the age of 32, my father, a Navy pilot stationed aboard a huge aircraft carrier, was suddenly caught in a deadly explosion. Badly burned, he crawled to an opening and called down below for help. It came immediately as he was pulled down into a room where nine enlisted men, all between the ages of 19 and 24, were now trapped….Continue reading at InspireMeToday.com.

Napping Guy Sues ESPN For Millions Because He Was Teased On Live TV
This is great. Guy goes to Yankees/Sox baseball game. Guy falls asleep during 4th inning. Guy poked fun at on national television. Guy sues for millions in damages.
Andrew Rector, the young man sleeping before you didn't take a liking to the attention he received when he decided to take a quick cat nap during a baseball game between New York and Boston last April which has since turned him into a punching bag for the internet. To be fair, any of the food served at a baseball stadium will likely knock out even the most energetic person.
Really, I can't blame commentators Shulman and Kruk. It is pretty funny, Rector made for the perfect target and it was a nice break from the game which can be a little boring at times. But in all seriousness, he looks dead. I even think his tongue is hanging out.
Watch the clip here:
The legal jargon states that he's now the victim of an "unending verbal crusade". It probably also didn't help that the MLB placed this video on their official youtube channel which has almost 300,000 subscribers (really surprised it's not more!)
Here are some comment gems that I found which one assumes lead to Andrew's lawsuit.
And this is coming from people that don't even know the guy personally. I'm sure it escalated at his work place and wherever else the guy goes, so who knows. I think it's one thing to get poked fun at but when it gets out of hand, I can see someone needing to take action.
But the amount Andrew is suing for is a totally different story. According to his lawsuit, he's suing ESPN for $10 million which if he had to leave work, got fired, had to go to a doctor for depression, or whatever it is "damaging" occurance came from this video, okay. But suing for that much just because you see an opportunity to make some money, then his cause won't likely come to fruition, but hey, it was worth a shot, Andrew. Hope the legal fees were worth it.
Afterall, this isn't the WORST thing caught by live cameras at a baseball stadium. Take this guy for instance who was caught on camera groping his passed out girlfriend (we assume).
So cheer up, Andrew. Don't let everyone get you down. If it were me, I'd take the small fame, run with it and make a little money that way because I doubt this lawsuit will really pan out. I'm sure you could get a sketch or two from the late night talk show circuits. That is if you can muster the energy.
What do you guys think? Should Andrew win the lawsuit or just go back to bed? @TODD_SPENCE

There were a few more details that I wanted to share with you. We were challenged with a tiny budget, so we kept things simple and came up with some fun.
We used bright yellow paper as table runners paired and crisp white daisies. I love mason jars. They are so versatile. We photo copied year book pages and cut them into strips 2 pictures high. We wrapped the mason jars with the photos, tied them with raffia and added white daisies. Simple, fun, personal and inexpensive.
Another simple idea we used was an old ladder that had been well used. We purchased some $1 votive holders and added flameless candles. What a fun, easy way to add light for an evening gathering. Also, less than $10! Love that!
We set up a simple table with some signs and frames we had on hand combined with a white beverage tub and for no cost, we had a beverage table for white wine. Cost = Free!
Of course, there had to be some memorabilia. There were a few tables for fun memories to get everyone chatting. Plus, this school had taken a great photo of the class in the shape of a 9 and 2. We took these photos to the local office store and had the prints blown up for a few dollars. To finish the over-sized copies a simple bulletin board boarder in bright yellow made it a finished look. Another great details for around $10.
I hope you enjoyed these easy, inexpensive ways to personalize a party. These were for a reunion, but could be used for so many different parties!

The first book of Moses, called Genesis, chapter 47, New English Translation and King James Version
New English Translation
Joseph's Wise Administration
1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, "My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen." 2 He took five of his brothers and introduced them to Pharaoh.
3 Pharaoh said to Joseph's brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants take care of flocks, just as our ancestors did." 4 Then they said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live as temporary residents in the land. There is no pasture for your servants' flocks because the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. So now, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."
5 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you. 6 The land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best region of the land. They may live in the land of Goshen. If you know of any highly capable men among them, put them in charge of my livestock."
7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed Pharaoh. 8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How long have you lived?" 9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, "All the years of my travels are 130. All the years of my life have been few and painful; the years of my travels are not as long as those of my ancestors." 10 Then Jacob blessed Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
11 So Joseph settled his father and his brothers. He gave them territory in the land of Egypt, in the best region of the land, the land of Rameses, just as Pharaoh had commanded. 12 Joseph also provided food for his father, his brothers, and all his father's household, according to the number of their little children.
13 But there was no food in all the land because the famine was very severe; the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan wasted away because of the famine. 14 Joseph collected all the money that could be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan as payment for the grain they were buying. Then Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's palace. 15 When the money from the lands of Egypt and Canaan was used up, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food! Why should we die before your very eyes because our money has run out?"
16 Then Joseph said, "If your money is gone, bring your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock." 17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them food in exchange for their horses, the livestock of their flocks and herds, and their donkeys. He got them through that year by giving them food in exchange for livestock.
18 When that year was over, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We cannot hide from our LORD that the money is used up and the livestock and the animals belong to our LORD. Nothing remains before our LORD except our bodies and our land. 19 Why should we die before your very eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food, and we, with our land, will become Pharaoh's slaves. Give us seed that we may live and not die. Then the land will not become desolate."
20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. Each of the Egyptians sold his field, for the famine was severe. So the land became Pharaoh's. 21 Joseph made all the people slaves from one end of Egypt's border to the other end of it. 22 But he did not purchase the land of the priests because the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh and they ate from their allotment that Pharaoh gave them. That is why they did not sell their land.
23 Joseph said to the people, "Since I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh, here is seed for you. Cultivate the land. 24 When you gather in the crop, give one-fifth of it to Pharaoh, and the rest will be yours for seed for the fields and for you to eat, including those in your households and your little children." 25 They replied, "You have saved our lives! You are showing us favor, and we will be Pharaoh's slaves."
26 So Joseph made it a statute, which is in effect to this day throughout the land of Egypt: One-fifth belongs to Pharaoh. Only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.
27 Israel settled in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen, and they owned land there. They were fruitful and increased rapidly in number.
28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years; the years of Jacob's life were 147 in all. 29 The time for Israel to die approached, so he called for his son Joseph and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, put your hand under my thigh and show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt, 30 but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." Joseph said, "I will do as you say."
31 Jacob said, "Swear to me that you will do so." So Joseph gave him his word. Then Israel bowed down at the head of his bed.
King James Version
1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
3 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
4 They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
5 And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
6 The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
7 And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
8 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
9 And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
10 And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
11 ¶ And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
13 ¶ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
14 And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
16 And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
17 And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
18 When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
19 Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
20 And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
21 And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
22 Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
23 Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
24 And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
25 And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
27 ¶ And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
28 And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
29 And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
31 And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

The exponential distribution is a commonly used distribution in reliability engineering. Mathematically, it is a fairly simple distribution, which many times lead to its use in inappropriate situations. It is, in fact, a special case of the Weibull distribution where β - 1. The exponential distribution is used to model the behavior of units that have a constant failure rate (or units that do not degrade with time or wear out).
In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution (a.k.a. negative exponential distribution) is a family of continuous probability distributions. It describes the time between events in a Poisson process, i.e. a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate. These latest developments are all covered in the Statistic homework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.
Note that the exponential distribution is not the same as the class of exponential families of distributions, which is a large class of probability distributions that includes the exponential distribution as one of its members, but also includes the normal distribution, binomial distribution, gamma distribution, Poisson, and many others
The exponential distribution occurs naturally when describing the lengths of the inter-arrival times in a homogeneous Poisson process. Get latest updates on the related subject in Statistic homework help and assignment help at transtutors.com.
The exponential distribution may be viewed as a continuous counterpart of the geometric distribution, which describes the number of Bernoulli trials necessary for a discrete process to change state. In contrast, the exponential distribution describes the time for a continuous process to change state.
In real-world scenarios, the assumption of a constant rate (or probability per unit time) is rarely satisfied. For example, the rate of incoming phone calls differs according to the time of day. But if we focus on a time interval during which the rate is roughly constant, such as from 2 to 4 p.m. during work days, the exponential distribution can be used as a good approximate model for the time until the next phone call arrives. Similar caveats apply to the following examples which yield approximately exponentially distributed variables:
Exponential variables can also be used to model situations where certain events occur with a constant probability per unit length, such as the distance between mutations on a DNA strand, or between roadkills on a given road.
Mean, variance, and median
The mean or expected value of an exponentially distributed random variable X with rate parameter λ is given by
In light of the examples given above, this makes sense: if you receive phone calls at an average rate of 2 per hour, then you can expect to wait half an hour for every call.
The variance of X is given by
The median of X is given by
where ln refers to the natural logarithm. Thus the absolute difference between the mean and median is
in accordance with the median-mean inequality.
An extremely important distribution in modeling is the exponential distribution. Mathematically, it's defined as:
pdf(x) = (1/μ)exp(-x/μ)
The use of the greek letter μ here is on purpose: the mean of this distribution is μ. The mean is also a parameter of the distribution.
We've actually seen this function before: it's the exponential decay function!
Q: Using Excel, graph this for three different values of μ, say 0.5, 1, and 2. Put the three functions on a single chart so that we can easily compare them.
In simulation, the exponential is often used for things like waiting times. In general, the amount of time you wait for something:
Another reason that the exponential is so important is that it is memory-less. This term means that, if you've already been waiting for a few minutes, the amount of time you expect to keep waiting is the same.
Example: You're playing craps and your point is a 4. You've tossed the dice three more times and not gotten a 4. Someone else comes up and bets the Pass line (bets on you to roll a 4 before rolling a 7). The expected number of rolls before you roll a 4 is the same for each of you, even though you've been waiting for a while.
Example: The busses in a town have no schedule: they just wander around on their routes. Suppose that the distribution of inter-arrival times is exponential. You come to a bus stop and wait. Two minutes later, someone else arrives. You both have the same expected time to wait for the bus, even though you have been waiting longer.
This memory-less property can be defined mathematically:
Pr(X > s+t | X > t) = Pr(X > s)
which we read as "the probability that you'll wait more than s+t minutes given that you've already been waiting t minutes is equal to the probability that you'll wait s minutes." Translating yet again, this means that "the probability that you'll wait s more minutes given that you've already been waiting t minutes is the same as the probability that you'd wait for more than s minutes from the beginning."
Although this seems weird, it turns out to be surprisingly common.
Here's an interesting connection:
The inter-arrival times of events in a Poisson process is exponential
More specifically:
The inter-arrival times of events in a Poisson process with rate r is exponential with mean 1/r

Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman dished out offensive playbooks during a small window in the offseason during the NFL's work stoppage.
Vic Fangio held on to his.
When defensive players arrived at training camp, the playbook waiting for them, though created from an unfamiliar source, ended up featuring a familiar face.
With the simple adjoining words "This must change," along with "0-1," there was the image of three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle
Upon receiving the two-to-three inch thick binder of plays, the message from the defensive coordinator was picked up immediately by his players.
"I knew they were about winning," said outside linebacker
But did the players sense their new coaches had a sense of confidence, a swagger if you will?
"Exactly," responded Haralson, nodding his head in agreement. "We knew right then, their minds were in the right place, they believed in us. They were saying we had to win; it was something we must do. That's it really. It was, 'Let's win with what we got right now.' From there, we knew what we had to do and prepare to get ready, learn the playbook, then go out and perform."
The decision to place Smith's image on the defensive cover was as strategic as any pass-rushing scheme installed by the coordinator with 20-plus years of coaching experience in the professional ranks.
"We wanted to make a point here," Fangio said of placing a photo of Smith's gameface on the cover. "He's been in the league I think 10 or 11 years and he'd only been in one playoff game, and at that time I don't think we had anybody on the team defensively who had been in the playoffs."
Smith, in fact, had played one postseason game in 11 seasons in the league, a 2006 Wild Card loss as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Smith had to wait four seasons to get back to the playoffs where he's at now with the 49ers, one win away from the Super Bowl.
And while Fangio led numerous offseason meetings with the team's defensive coaching staff, Smith was putting his defensive teammates through the paces of a demanding workout schedule nearby at San Jose State University.
When the work stoppage ended and the 49ers defense was able to meet Fangio, it didn't take long for the unit to find results.
The 49ers won 13 games in the regular season, including a streak of eight consecutive wins. One of those wins came at the expense of the New York Giants, Sunday's opponent in the NFC Championship game.
That Sunday, the 49ers defeated the Giants 27-20 in a Week 10 home victory. The game also featured Smith batting down an Eli Manning fourth-down pass to preserve what was the team's seventh-straight win at the time.
To teammates, Smith's heroics, much like his game-saving forced fumble on the road in Philadelphia this season, have become routine. With Smith starting 171 consecutive regular season games dating back to his rookie season in 2001, the player known as "Cowboy," has saddled up to make the third-most consecutive starts by a defensive player and fifth-most amongst all NFL players currently.
Smith's most recent stretch of signature plays – bull rushes of New Orleans offensive linemen, and a sack on Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees last week over the Saints – will be enjoyed for years to come, too.
"It's always fun to watch him on film," Haralson said of Smith's bull rushes, especially one on Saints tackle Jermon Bushrod which saw the defensive lineman push the 315-pound lineman all the way back to Brees before grabbing the back of the quarterback's uniform nameplate. "That's what he does every game. It's not anything that shocks you. You just look at it like 'There he go again.'"
Smith himself isn't much for talking about himself.
"That's last week," Smith said facing a larger media turnout than regular season weeks. "I'm focused on this week, haven't really thought about too much to be honest with you."
Fangio, however, has thought about the big effort play.
"That's something we emphasize. That's something he's good at," Fangio said. "And yet, one of the reasons he's able to do that is because he has enough athleticism to go around a guy. In this particular case, he went through a guy."
Smith, the 6-foot-4, 285-pound lineman, will have to once again supply the same pocket pressure against Manning and the Giants. The 49ers All-Pro defensive tackle, who was voted second-team All-Pro defensive end in the same year, said Manning is just as good as Brees when it comes to navigating through traffic in the pocket.
"Eli is as good if not at better at recognizing when to step up and how to avoid the pass rush and how to extend the play," Smith said. "The receivers are on the same page (with him)."
By now, many have seen Manning's escape ability in Super Bowl XLII, infamously known for when he avoided several New England Patriots in the backfield to launch an improbable 32-yard pass to David Tyree to set up the eventual game-winning touchdown.
This year's New York squad is even more talented in the passing game, with Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz and Mario Manningham emerging as one of the best receiving groups in the game.
"It's hard to focus your attention on one guy because they have three receivers," said Fangio of the Giants trio which has combined to catch six touchdown passes in two playoff wins over the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers.
In Smith's mind, the key to winning lies in turnover ratio and points off the board.
The 49ers were plus-four against the Saints in that regard, while
"The main thing is we've grown every week," Smith added. "I think our ability to create turnovers and get turnovers have been the keys to our success, like Donte's hit on the goal line set the tone, set the tempo for what we were going to do that day and it took points off the board."
Smith believes the 49ers can control their preparation and execution against New York. But all the talk about inclement weather is just a waste in his mind.
"I don't think any team can control the weather," Smith said. "It's going to be what it's going to be. You're going to call the same type of game regardless. I don't think too much of that's going to factor in."
Teammates expect Smith to play just as hard regardless.
"He plays playoff ball in the regular season," Haralson said. "That's what he does all the time. He doesn't care what anybody thinks. He just goes out and plays."
And in setting the tone for the 49ers defense all season, Smith has supplied the coaching staff with a great example in terms of the effort needed to win games.
"There was a lot of talk about the great history or tradition of the 49ers, but my message to them was there's been great history but the tradition was lost," explained Fangio of his reasoning behind Smith's playbook cover. "You can't go nine years without a winning season and think you have tradition. We've restored that.
"And along the way we've got him his first playoff victory and we're going to do everything we can to get him another one."
So while Smith might lend a hand as an extra blocker on offense, which he did last week against the Saints, it's really all about continuing the standard of play he set on defense since the first day of training camp.
The Giants might know the 49ers well from watching 17 games on tape, but the same can be said for the 49ers, too.
"They know what we're going to do. We know what they're going to do," Smith said. "It comes down to who executes the best.
"There could be a few trick plays but I think it'll be an old, 'Who's better.' I don't see them changing their game plan much."

This 90-minute film releases in the United States today: KJB: The Book That Changed the World.
Jenni and I enjoyed watching it last week.
- The film focuses on the intriguing politics behind the making of the KJV.
- It's superbly narrated by John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli the dwarf in The Lord of the Rings.
- The acting is well done.
- It includes two brief commentaries by Carl Trueman.
Here's a three-minute preview:

A little over a week ago at Fantastic Fest I did an impromptu interview with Adam Green, Danielle Harris and Kane Hodder about HATCHET 2. No one had any idea of the controversy that would soon befall their little film, so if you're expecting any revelations as to why exactly AMC pulled the film from their theaters during its opening weekend, you won't find it here. (But you will find it at Cinematical.) What you will find below is an off-the-cuff chat with three very cool horror fans.
HND: If anything, what do you think is wrong with horror movies today?
Adam Green: I don't think there's necessarily ever anything wrong with horror. I think there's room for everything. But for me personally, something that's wrong with mainstream horror, the studio side of things, is that we've gotten to a place where the only movies that perform on the box office side of things are, for the most part, remakes. There is an exception here or there, but the originals, not so much. It's almost gotten impossible for an original genre movie to get made by a big studio.
So as soon as you realize you're doing a movie independently, your chance of a studio supported release on thousands of screens and a multi-million dollar and campaign are gone before you start. You know it's not going to happen, which is why some of the best stuff comes from independents, especially horror. Because people are doing it because they love it and not just for the money.
For my tastes, I'm a little over the direness and the torture and the rape. Especially the festivals this year, London and now here –
HND: It's a very nihilistic slate here this year.
Green: It is! And all I'm trying to do with these HATCHET movies is poke people and make them smile and go, "Oh, yeah, that's right, there was a reason I got into this and liked it." And people love villains and fun characters and elaborate set pieces and practical special effects and not CGI. I'm not doing anything new. So many people try to give me credit for reinventing, but I'm not reinventing anything. I'm just doing it my way.
But still, horror is alive and that's a good thing. I just wish the fans would support the original stuff a little bit.
[At this point Kane Hodder enters the room and Adam repeats the question for him.]
Kane Hodder: What's wrong…
Danielle Harris: 3-D has to stop. Once someone makes a good movie. Actually, I take that back. Once someone makes a movie that does well, everybody has to copy it. It's just retarded and I'm so over it.
Hodder: I personally don't even care for 3-D all that much, anyway.
Harris: Me neither, I can't watch it all the time.
Green: I loved AVATAR…
Harris: Well AVATAR is fabulous.
Green: HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON…
Harris: Animation is good. You feel like you're a kid again, but… I just did a 3-D movie, but it was an animated movie and it was in the genre, so how cool is that.
Hodder: What was that?
Harris: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: ORIGINS. I played Barbara. It was weird.
Hodder: So it's a voice over?
Harris: Yeah. She'll look like me too, but she'll be blonde.
Green: So she won't look anything like you. She'll be tall and blonde, but…
Harris: It'll be my mannerisms, but she'll look a little different.
HND: What about you, Kane? Any opinions on what's wrong with the genre today?
Hodder: No, not really…
HND: Fair enough.
Harris: We kind of see everything and see it as being separate. I don't think it should all be in the same group anymore, you know?
Green: Even things I normally wouldn't appreciate, I'm liking more. I saw the I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE remake in London – and I'm not a rape person at all, I normally just shut it off and don't like watching that stuff – but watching that with an audience and the pay-off at the end with the elaborate kills, I can definitely appreciate that they did a really good job with that movie.
So it's hard to say what's wrong, because there is a place for all of it, I would just like to see a little more variety and a little bit more fun. Or just plain old scary again. It's kind of hard to scary now, though, since everything has been done, but we're seeing people can do it. PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, those of us who were lucky enough to see it before the hype and everything, it was extremely effective. Yeah, it's kind of like BLAIR WITCH, but it doesn't matter.
Harris: People have to stop trying to do so much with these movies. You don't have to do so much. Go back to keeping it simple and that's even scarier.
Green: I haven't seen INSIDIOUS yet but I'm hearing great stuff.
HND: Weinberg loved the hell out of it.
Green: Yeah, he was saying it's genuinely frightening with its POULTERGEIST type stuff. And I think James Wan is a fantastic director, so I'm really excited to see that. But yeah, scary and fun again would be nice.
HND: This is kind of a bizarre question, but it just popped into my head since I watched it the other day. Have you seen the NIGHT OF THE DEMONS remake?
Green: Yes.
HND: Is that Victor Crowley on the stairs?
Green: [With a very wide smile] Yes, that is Victor Crowley on the steps.
Hodder: [Surprised] What?
Green: There's a Halloween party and there's somebody wearing a Victor Crowley Halloween mask.
Hodder: Really?
HND: Yeah, I had to rewind it because I was wondering if it was Kane, but it's definitely not his body type.
Green: Yeah, it's like a little guy with Victor Crowley's Halloween mask.
Hodder: Really? I didn't know that. That's cool!
HND: Did you know they were going to do that?
Green: I did. They called and asked since the masks weren't for sale yet, but we had a prototype. They called saying, "Look, we're shooting in a week and we really want to put Victor Crowley's mask in it."
So we sent it, they shot it, and they put it right back in the box. That one is still the one I have.
Hodder: [Sounding a little offended] So there's someone else who played Victor Crowley?
Green: [Laughs] No, they're just in mask. They're dressed like me, I think.
Hodder: The most fun I see now is the Halloween costume I saw last year: The Adam Green.
Green: Oh, yeah, that's true.
Hodder: There are guys who go to Halloween parties as him!
HND: And what's that costume look like?
Green: Unshaven, concert shirt, baseball hat backwards and holding like the hatchet or whatever.
Hodder: I'm not kidding.
Green: No, really. We see pictures of it sometimes. It's kind of funny.
Harris: That's what I'm going to be for Halloween.
Hodder: It's flattering. I've never seen a Kane Hodder costume, so I think that's pretty cool.
HND: Well are the Victor Crowley masks on sale yet?
Green: Yeah, we actually just sold out a few weeks ago. I don't know when they're doing another run. I don't have much to do with that side of things, but I think the plan now is to ship it overseas and start making them a little more affordable because they're actually made from the mold of his face. So the masks people have been able to buy are hand made, hand painted, hair punched, and you can either get the mask or the mask with the shoulders and the whole spine and everything.
And that's like $265 to get it, but they're not even making much money off of it that. That's about what it costs to do it, so we're going to try to send them overseas and get mass produced ones that are only like $60 that people can afford. But for collectors, that's the one to get.
There's a new Victor Crowley bust that's coming out, too. You look so fucking cool. You look like a He-Man action figure holding the hatchet. Robert showed me the prototype for it.
Hodder: Did he do it?
Green: Josh did it. Remember the young kid on HATCHET 2 who was helping out? He just did it on his own.
Hodder: The guy I terrorized?
Green: Probably.
HND: I think there's probably a lot of people that you've terrorized.
Hodder: There's quite a list, but he in particular was always around while I was in the make-up chair and cranky.
HND: Well then, are there any crazy stories from the HATCHET 2 set of you terrorizing people?
Hodder: This time around our schedule was very demanding. There wasn't enough time to fuck around as I had in the first movie, but I still managed to do a couple things. R.A. Mihailoff, the guy I have the big fight scene with, I tried to scare him twice within the studio and both times I broke a door doing it.
Green: [Laughs] He had to pay to fix the doors!
Hodder: I did! I had to fucking pull money out of my pocket.
Green: [Laughs] And the guy who managed the stage looked like Lando Calrissian!
Hodder: He said you can't do that. What I did was kick the door trying to scare R.A., but I kicked a hole in it. And I said, "You can't just patch that?" and he said, "Nah, I'll have to replace the whole door for $125."
So I said okay and gave him $125 and then I fucking smashed holes in it just so he wasn't going to patch it and then keep my money. I made sure. I said, "You're replacing this door?" he said, "Yes," and I went Bam! Pow! Pow! And this whole thing was full of holes and said, "Now you really are replacing it."
HND: So after HATCHET's immediate talk of sequels, the production eventually shifted from Anchor Bay to Dark Sky, right? Or is Dark Sky just handling distribution?
Green: The interesting thing about HATCHET 1 was that we made it independently and then made a deal with Anchor Bay to distribute the film, but we still controlled the rights. So over the three years, when I wasn't ready to do it yet, a lot of places sort of came knocking and saying, "We know this franchise is up in the air and we know you can go to a lot of places, but here's why you should go with us," and they'd lay out their plans.
I was able, and my producers especially, were able to sniff out who had the right intentions. Because some people would be like, "The first one is a huge hit, it's a best-selling DVD and has a great following, but how do we broaden this out a little bit? How do we make it accessible to people who maybe aren't die hard slasher fans? Maybe we scale back on the violence a little bit…" And we'd be like, "You don't get it, that's not what this is."
But when Dark Sky came to us, they were real horror fans. And they were excited by the fact that I wanted to make a movie that catered to the first one. So if you didn't like the first one, we don't care. We're not out to try to win you over, we're out to please our fans. And a lot of people claim that, but they don't really do that. With this movie it's so obvious how little we care about any of the negative criticism for it because now we're just celebrating what we did even more. The same crew came back; this is truly a labor of love.
Coming off of FROZEN, a lot of people said that was a mistake and to not do HATCHET 2 because I'm now up here in the mainstream. But I love it! And if anyone can't see that this is all in good fun then they came in with some negativity toward it. We do this because we love it.
HND: Well I guess I'll just end with the obligatory what's next for everyone?
Harris: A vacation. I just did a movie with my friend Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc called THE VICTIM. My girlfriend produced it, so I'm still just working with friends. And I had another girlfriend of mine who is in the AFI women's directing program, which I'm actually pitching myself for. I'd like to go do that as well, to go to AFI and see what I can learn. I want to direct and write stuff for myself, plus there's other stuff in the works of course, so we'll see.
Hodder: A few things I'm negotiating and things like that, but I'm also writing a book. I'm finally writing the whole story of my ridiculous life, so I'm concentrating on releasing it on May 13th,a Friday the 13th of May, which is kind of interesting because my first Jason movie came out on the Friday the 13th of May also.
Green: I just finished production on a movie called CHILLARAMA, which is like an anthology movie I'm doing with Adam Rifkin, Joe Lynch and Tim Sullivan. My segment is called THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKENSTEIN.
Hodder: I forgot we can talk about that now, I'm so used to keeping it secret.
Green: Yeah, we kept it quiet until a few weeks ago in London, where we announced it and showed THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKENSTEIN in its entirety because we wanted to really take people by surprise. It's a black and white, 1940s movie, all in German with subtitles. Kane is in that, Joel David Moore plays Adolf Hitler. It's very funny.
And then I'm writing KILLER PIZZA.
HND: Good, I was going to ask about KILLER PIZZA specifically. I've been looking forward to it ever since first reading about it.
Green: Yeah, it's very MONSTER SQUAD, very GOONIES type of tone. I can't say too much yet because I'm really just getting started writing it, but it's really an honor to be asked to write something like that by the guy who is the best at it. Normally as a writer the worst part is when you finish a draft and you're really happy with it and you have to give it to people who aren't writers who start giving you notes and opinions…
I'm very good at knowing to not take it personally and to just go and process it, but knowing that Chris Columbus is going to give me notes… I can't wait! I hope he has a note for every line in that thing because I'm going to learn a lot.
