That reply was excellent, especially the spirit of collegiality that Love is which I sensed IN it! Plus the pictures and illustrations and all! I love all of that!:)
I commend you!:)
So I wd like to encourage to do the same again and at all times whether any question or comment is SIGNED ape or leakey or gould or darwin or dawkins or etc! Doing the same when YOUR OWN AUTHORITIES are quoted, mined or not, --but especially when mined! --- enhances your standing with me myself and I am sure with others! That way you set the example to other evolutionists as to how --IN & WITH LOVE AND RESPECT--to handle questions posed in the name of EVOLUTIONARY AUTHORITIES --ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU SAY THAT YOU STILL FIND HOW THEY AGREE WITH YOU----just as I am setting the example to creationists and IDs ---notice ATHENA's response and she may not even be a ider nor creationist! --- as to how --IN & WITH LOVE AND RESPECT---to handle any responses like quote-mining and etc--- and how I, who am always talking about LOVE, wd love to get questions and quotes, even A question or A quote, from ANYONE quoting MY AUTHORITY & -TIES, especially from any atheist or evolutionist, as to why and how MY OWN AUTHORITY says and cd say that he loves Jacob and hates Esau or that there are 6 things he hates, or how come David, the man after his own heart says that he hates his enemies with perfect Hatred! Hint!
Now on to the 2ndary subject overall, but to the primary subject of this thread underall!:)
Thanx!Alun wrote: Good question. I actually left most of the evidence for this argument out, as I had anticipated debate with ID advocates, not creationists. I have as of now added more information in the way of proof to this premise.
Alun wrote: In fact the best way of dating fossils and geological strata is a technique called radioisotope dating.
Thanx for all those details.
So how do you answer this guy? What's he missing?
"Eleven human skeletons, the earliest known human remains in the Western hemisphere, have recently been dated by this new accelerator mass spectrometer technique. All eleven were dated at about 5,000 radiocarbon years or less! If more of the claimed evolutionary ancestors of man are tested and are also found to contain carbon-14, a major scientific revolution will occur and thousands of textbooks will become obsolete."

Lucy is important because it walked upright, but did not have the brain capacity of a human.
But is it dated correctly?
"Zihlman compares the pygmy chimpanzee to "Lucy," one of the oldest hominid fossils known and finds the similarities striking. They are almost identical in body size, in stature; and in brain size.... These commonalties, Zihlman argues indicate that pygmy chimps use their limbs in much the same way Lucy did...."
ADRIENNE L ZIHLMAN, U. C. Santa Cruz,

How is that new AMS working?
Any thing newer since 1989?
Why wd or shd a r-evoltuion occur if Brown is right?
Is Zihlman right?
Alun wrote: And later came species like [the ones you showed].
Was Ergaster found before 1989?
And if not, does Brown's comments and this statement below still apply?
"A great legend has grown up to plague both paleontologists and anthropologists. It is that one of them can take a tooth or a small and broken piece of bone, gaze at it, and pass his hand over his forehead once or twice, and then take a sheet of paper and draw a picture of what the whole animal looked like as it tramped the Terriary terrain. If this were quite true, the anthropologists would make the F.B.I. look like a troop of Boy Scouts." W. Howells, Harvard, MANKIND SO FAR.
Alun wrote:Most definitely. Even today, bacterial cells are next to nothing compared to eukaryotic cells. ....ape wrote:Are you saying that the cell has grown even more complex since the first one?
Xlnt!:) Again!
But what of this statement by Monod?
"....we have no idea what the structure of a primitive cell might have been. The simplest living system known to us, the bacterial cell....in....its overall chemical plan is the same as that of all other living beings. It employs the same genetic code and the same mechanism of translation as do, for example, human cells. Thus the simplest cells available to us for study have nothing 'primitive' about them....no vestiges of truly primitive structures are discernible."
Jacques Monod, French biochemist, Nobel Prize winner, CHANCE AND NECESSITY. underline by ape
Alun wrote:Pretty much just what it sounds like; more specialization, more order, and usually the mobilization of more resources.ape wrote:What was the criteria for talking about 'the growing complexity of the form of life on Earth.'?Both ways, I guess. I am not really using complexity versus simplicity to say anything definitive, just describe what evolution looks like to me.ape wrote:Do things usually only work from simple to complex or do they also usually work from complex to simple or do they usually work both ways?
Both OPPOSITE ways! Xlnt!
So then, you realise that things that are complicatingly simple also look complex, and things that simply complicating also look simple, which means that we can't go by sight or by what it looks like to us only. Big rule in Science as you know: things are never only what they seem.
Alun wrote:Paleontologists. The first fossils are of bacteria.ape wrote:If they work both ways, which evolutionist or 'nists determined that the simple form of life came first as the usual suspect?;)
And what are and where are the ancestors of bacteria?
And what say you to these guys?
"I am also aware of the fact that, at least in my own subject of paleoanthropology, "theory" - heavily influenced by implicit ideas almost always dominates "data". ....Ideas that are totally unrelated to actual fossils have dominated theory building, which in turn strongly influence the way fossils are interpreted." David Pilbeam, Yale, quoted in BONES OF CONTENTION.
underline by ape
"The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change...All paleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms; transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt."
Stephen Jay Gould, paleontologist at Harvard,(1977)
underline by ape
"...we have proffered a collective tacit acceptance of the story of gradual adaptive change, a story that strengthened and became even more entrenched as the synthesis took hold. We paleontologists have said that the history of life supports that interpretation, all the while really knowing that it does not."
Niles Eldredge, Chairman and Curator of Invertebrates, American Museum of Natural History.
underline and bold by ape
"It remains true, as every paleontologist knows, that most new species, genera, and families and that nearly all new categories above the level of families appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to be known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences." George Gaylord Simpson, professor of vertebrate paleontology at Harvard.(1965) underline by ape
Alun wrote:Yes. The idea is that if we observe things without any distractions, we'll be getting less biased data to work with.ape wrote:Isn't dealing with the evolution of life while making no conclusions about how evolution happened nor about where the life that evolution evolves comes from... analogous to, similar to, comparable to... talking about the rain-bow while not discusing where rain comes from, ... or talking about words without talking about where letters came from,
But the Bias of Hatred works whether one is distracted with distractions or with no distractions! In fact, the focus of the Bias of Hatred works 'better' in and on its object when there are NO distractions!
We have to look at the specifics and look at, by keeping it in mind at all times, the overall body of evidence at the same thime! And vice versa! We can walk and talk and chew gum at the same time!:) So there is only one way out:
This double-duty necessitates the Love in attitude for attractions and distractions or repulsions, for the atom and the Uni.
Well natural selection is in part an explanation of where natural selection came from and how natural selection happens, but I do think it's a very separate issue from the genesis of life in the beginning. [/quote]ape wrote:or talking about the natural selection in life without talking about where life came from nor where NS came from or how NS happened?
Hmmmm To me that NS sounds like God himself being self-creating! God explaining where God came and comes from: himself, and HOW he happens: in the very Love by which he defines himself!:) Hmmmmmm
Cd Natural Selection be another name for God, and vice versa? Is NS God in other words, and vice versa?
So don't you think that everything is interconnected?
"Einstein shows that the holism of Quantum Theory asserts that there is a sense in which everything is connected to everything else. This has been confirmed."
John Archibald Wheeler,1911-2008, Director of the Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Texas-Austin, Joseph Henry Professor of Physics Emeritus at Princeton University.
Alun, what is happening is this:
"It was-and still is-very hard to arrive at this concept from [ONLY] inside biology. The trouble lay in an unremitting cultural struggle which had developed from 1860 onward between biologists on the one hand and the supporters of old beliefs on the other.
The old believers said that rabbits had been created by God using methods too wonderful for us to comprehend.
The new believers said that rabbits had been created from sludge, by methods too complex for us to calculate and by methods likely enough involving improbable happenings.
Improbable happenings replaced miracles,
and sludge replaced God,
with believers both old and new seeking to cover up their ignorance in clouds of words, but different [OPPOSITE] words.
It was over the [OPPOSITE] words that
passions [OF HATE] raged,
passions [OF HATE] which continue to rumble on in the modern world,
passions [OF HATE] that one can read about with hilarious satisfaction in the columns of the weekly science magazine Nature and listen to in basso profundo pronouncements from learned scientific societies."
Fred Hoyle, late mathematician, physicist and Professor of Astronomy, Cambridge University, "Mathematics of Evolution," [1987], Acorn Enterprises: Memphis TN, 1999.
Only Love and Respect for all words and their opposites can solve this problem and, of course, solve all other problems we have in the world today and in the future.
Words are the eyes of our eyes, and Love is the Eye of all words and their opposites!:) Is why we have the Mind's Eye or the Mind's I!
Alun wrote: Perhaps this will make more sense to you once we get to the natural selection part of the argument; there are many things that occasionally are said of natural selection, but it is a fairly limited idea.
Thanx! It will make more sense to me then since it already makes so much sense to me now!:)
Alun wrote:Thanks; you too.ape wrote:Hope you had and/or is still having a nice Xmas or holiday!:)

If you're in the fortunate enough position to be able to make a nice little withdrawal from your favourite live casino then you'll be equally pleased to hear that withdrawing is a quick and easy thing for you to do and there's plenty of different ways for you to do so. The first step in taking out money from an online site is to first make your way over to the site's cashier section and select withdrawal tab to bring up your options. There's typically a minimum withdrawal amount of £10 in place at most casinos so if you've got more than that in your account then you're all set and ready to go.
Withdrawing from a Live Casino
When it comes to it though most of these methods of withdrawal can be narrowed down to just 3 or 4 groups and the first one we'll talk about are wire transfers. These are the simplest and most common way for people to make their withdrawal as all it requires is that you have a bank account. While a wire transfer from a live casino is about as safe and as reliable a method you'll ever find it does come with some downsides. The first is that it can take up to 5 days to process which isn't exactly the quickest in the world and the second is that some wire transfers do charge a small percentage.
In our view an even better form of withdrawal is a Visa transfer which is pretty much the exact same as a wire transfer except it's done via your Visa credit or debit card. All banks now offer their customers Visa cards so getting one isn't all that difficult and the upside is that it usually only takes 3 days to process and there are no additional charges.
The second type of withdrawal method you'll find at live casinos come from E-wallets which are online banking sites you'll have heard of such as Neteller, Paypal, or Skrill. These are pretty useful accounts to have if you're looking for quicker transfers – especially between casinos as you're skipping the process of putting the money into your bank and then back out again. Creating an account at one of these sites is incredibly easy as all your require is a password and you can even link your bank account to your E-wallet for when you want to send all the money there as well. It also comes with the added benefit that you don't need to put your bank details into every site you play on which not only saves a little time, but can also put some of your minds at rest.
The final withdrawal method that live casinos have at their disposal will certainly be appealing to anyone without a bank account and these are cash transfers. Whenever you take a stroll down your local high street you'll probably notice there's a good few money shops such as western union kicking about and it's these shops where you'll be able to turn your online account balance into real cash. To do this all you need to do is have your account number at the ready and you should be able to make the withdrawal so long as you have some ID for a quick and easy withdrawal method.
The live casino industry has come a long way in the last few years in making player withdrawals a quick and easy process regardless of which method you choose. The most common way is still just a quick wire transfer back into your bank, however online banking tools such as Paypal are becoming increasingly common due to their speed and ease while those simply looking for the cash have that as an option now too!

Red Sox may be dealing with Will Middlebrooks injury
OAKLAND — Will Middlebrooks looked a little worried after the Red Sox beat the Mariners 2-1 in 10 innings on Sunday. He injured his left hamstring while stealing second base, and the team should have a better understanding on Monday of how long Middlebrooks may be out or whether he has a tear.
The Sox would have to use a Nick Punto/Brent Lillibridge combination at third. The team recently signed Andy LaRoche to a minor league deal, but the Sox have a 40-man roster problem, which means they'd have to cut a good player to make room for LaRoche on the roster.
The Sox ideally could use a veteran corner infielder or someone with third base experience. Guys like Ty Wigginton, Mark DeRosa, Adam Kennedy, Brandon Inge, Casey McGehee, Jeff Baker and John McDonald could fit the bill.
The Padres are also said be shopping third baseman Chase Headley, who would be a more significant player.
The Sox are heading to Oakland for a three-game series and Inge, who is currently Oakland's starting third baseman, would seem to be a perfect fit for the Red Sox.
The Sox do have extra outfielders to deal.

It offers direct handling with strong grip and safety in wet and dry conditions.
Aggressive asymmetric pattern
Firehawk Sport 01 boasts an aggressive tread design to bring together form and function and deliver provides both outstanding performance and a stylish aesthetic. With a wide central rib and secondary rib, pulse groove and semi-slick appearance, this tyre looks the part and lives up to expectation.
Responsive handling and high grip levels
This tyre has been engineered with to maximise grip, wear life and handling with an optimised crown shape and multi‑round block design. Firehawk Sport 01's connecting blocks between the inner and outer part of the tyre reduces block deformation to increase grip while the wide centre and secondary ribs optimises steering response and cornering.
Safety in wet and dry conditions
The Firehawk Sport 01 is designed to support motorists in all driving conditions. With a pulse groove design, it delivers excellent water drainage to prevent hydroplaning and increasing wet handling capabilities, complementing the tyre's excellent dry handling, steering response and cornering.
195 indicates the section width of a tyre in millimetres.
65 is a tyre's aspect ratio which is its height from the base of the tread to the rim. This number represents a percentage of the tread width. For example, the height of this tyre is 65% of its width. Low profile tyres have smaller aspect ratio percentages.
Tyre Construction
R means that the tyre has radial ply construction, meaning the way in which it has been constructed. Most passenger tyres are constructed this way so you will rarely find a car tyre without an R.
15 indicates the diameter of the wheel rim. So if you are buying wheels for existing tyres, this is the size in inches you will require.
91 V is a symbol that indicates the maximum load capacity and speed at which a tyre can be safely operated, subject to the tyre being in sound condition, correctly fitted and with the recommended inflation pressure.

Overall Diameter of the unloaded tyre in mm
With regular tyres, a puncture generally means you lose steering control. It also puts you in added danger while changing the tyre on the roadside. With Run Flat Tyres, if your tyre gets punctured, there's no sudden deflation – meaning you can continue driving safely. This is because the tyre's thicker sidewall is significantly reinforced and made from heat resistant rubber. It can safely carry the weight of your car for a short period, despite a total loss of air pressure. Tyres with Run Flat Technology should only be fitted to vehicles that are equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

I decided to read this book after being told it was "classic Stephen King, back to his original greatness" - and I wasn't disappointed. I loved his early books, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Dead Zone, Pet Cemetary, Different Seasons... the list goes on. But somewhere along the way I stopped reading King, and now after the pleasure of Under the Dome I can't imagine why. It reminded me why I loved his books so much. He has an effortless talent of drawing you into his fictionalised small towns in Maine, making you feel like you've known the characters all your life and despite all the strange things going on there, you kinda wish you lived there too. From the very beginning when the mysterious invisible 'dome' comes down, isolating the town of Chester's Mill from the rest of the world, you're hooked, you're trapped there too, rooting for the good guys, booing the bad guys and struggling to figure the whole thing out. His characterisation is delightful, and the richness of these 'small town folks' stuck in this crazy situation carries the story along at a great pace. At around 1000 pages it's fair to call the book 'epic', but it feels far shorter than that, I guess because time flies when you're having a great time.
Looking for a great page-turning escape? This could be the book for you.

Cummins ISV 5.0 Turbo Diesel First Look
Titanic Torque
Back in August, Nissan announced the next generation Titan would offer a 5.0 liter turbo diesel V-8 carrying the legendary Cummins name. At the time, both Nissan and Cummins were tight lipped about specifics, other than displacement and around 300 hp and in the neighborhood of 550 lb-ft of torque. The commercial version of the same engine, ISV 5.0 was just unveiled and it will give us more clues as to what we can expect to see in Nissan's next big truck.
The first question is why a V-8 when big diesels are usually I-6s. Cummins designed an engine that can directly replace gasoline V-8 and V-10s engines. A V-8 is roughly the length of an inline four and a half cylinder engine, so a longer engine compartment isn't necessary. Also packaging of blot-on ancillaries, like alternators, power steering pumps etc. is also very similar to those gas engines. The extra torque and efficiency of the diesel makes it worth all the trouble.
The commercial version of the ISV 5.0 will deliver 560 lb-ft of torque and will be available in anywhere from 200 -- 275 hp versions depending on application. The version for the Titan is still slated for 300 hp. Cummins says it will offer "best in class" economy and emissions, but honestly we aren't entirely sure exactly what class that is.
The basic specs of this engine will be familiar to fans of high-performance gas V-8s. The 90-degree block is made from vermicular graphite iron, which offers a significant weight savings over traditional grey iron. The crankshaft is forged steel, which not only maximizes its strength-to-weight ratio, but allows the use of a slightly smaller crank. The pistons are aluminum and deeply bowled to help contain combustion in the early stages. The heads are aluminum and use four valves per cylinder, which are operated by dual overhead camshafts. Cummins says the DOHC set-up allowed for lower noise, higher engine speeds and optimal placement of injectors and glow plugs.
Speaking of glow plugs, the ISV 5.0 is using a ceramic glow plug. Cummins says this will be a lifetime part and offers the advantage of faster start times, as quick as 2 seconds from a cold start in -25 F conditions. The fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber with piezo injectors, which operate far faster than standard fuel injectors and allow up to seven injection events per combustion cycle. This precise control of fueling allows for a reduction in combustion noise and a reduction in emissions. The common-rail direct injection system is fed by a cam driven high-pressure fuel pump and operates at an astronomical 2000 bar or roughly 29,000 psi. Think about that next time you stick your head under the hood next to a running engine.
On the intake side, a variable geometry turbo feeds the engine through a front-mounted air-to-air intercooler. When this engine appears in the Nissan Titan, it will employ a compound turbo setup, better for generating power across a wider RPM range. While a few manufacturers are now doing liquid cooled after-cooling, Cummins engineers insist it isn't worth the extra weight and complexity. It is using liquid-to-air cooling for the cooled-exhaust-gas-recirculation system however. Piping the exhaust gas back into the combustion chamber slows down the formation of NOx during the combustion process.
What NOx is created, is dealt with in the ISV 5.0's after-treatment system. Two cans, roughly the size of something wearing a Fiat badge contain the Diesel Particulate Filter, DPF and the Selective Catalytic Reduction Cat or SCR. The DPF captures particulate matter, which is burned off in regenerative cycles when pressure sensors on both ends of filter register a predetermined differential. The SCR uses DEF to break down NOx into nitrogen and oxygen. I was assured the system will be smaller on the Titan, as the duty cycle on the heavier commercial trucks is higher.
We still don't know everything about the upcoming engine for the Titan, but hopefully this cleared up a few things. We were able to see the engines running in a few different types of vehicles and they are noticeably quieter than traditional diesel engines.
Even without knowing all the specs it is a safe bet that Nissan is going to make a big splash with the next generation Titan.

Starting a web hosting business is one thing and growing it to a level where it can give you the kind of profits you want is another. After all, web hosting business is one of the most competitive industries out there. It takes a lot of efforts and strategies to even gain some solid foothold in the industry, let alone become a big name as one of the leading providers even in your own region. In such a competitive environment right digital strategies can play a big role in helping your web hosting business grow one step at a time. Here we mention 5 key digital strategies that can help you grow your web hosting business.
Website Design
As simple and as basic as it may sound this seriously very important in terms of your digital strategies efforts. Make sure the website is rightly designed keeping user convenience in mind so that it is easy for customers to navigate and find the services they are looking for. Many web hosting providers lose a lot of business only because they don't do this right. Along with a simple to use design right looks are also important. Some fine templates can be used from websites like TemplateMonster, ThemeForest and Zomex etc and used in web hosting websites.
Right Payment Gateway Integration
This is fundamentally important. You don't want your customers to get stuck every time they try to buy your services online. It will be a big blunder on your part if you customers are not able to get through the payment gateway and they find errors while making payment. You will be losing customers right at the end point, something a new web hosting business can't afford to have. Look at the various gateway options that you have and see what is feasible for you. Make sure your payment gateway supports all types of payments including debit card, credit card and net banking.
Forum Participation
Web hosting forums are great platforms for promotion of a new web hosting business. All you need to do is Google "web hosting forum" and you can find a ton of them to register and become a member. One of the most preferred one is Web Hosting Talk. It a great place to participate, communicate and promote your new web hosting business. You can similarly join few other web hosting forums and promote your present offers such as 50% discount for first two months or whatever is your present selling point fun88 sportsbook. This will naturally attract people who come to these forums to find good deals for services they want. You can use the signature section for putting the link to your offer and create a landing page for the same.
Social Profiles
This is a no-brainer of course but plays a big role at the same time. You must have your business' Google Plus, Facebook and Twitter accounts in order to create more brand awareness and gain more traction for your business. Social media platforms can not only get you good money but also new ideas that can help you change your business for good; not to mention you will get a lot of suggestions and feedbacks that will help you resolve your issues.
Leverage SEO for Local Search Results
As a web hosting provider you must gain some popularity first in your locality before you target farther region customers. This is important because you as a hosting service provider must also aim to create your brand along with gaining customers. Creating a brand is a slow process and happens one step at a time, especially if you don't have lavish budget. In order to start your brand creation, SEO for local markets is to be done, which will help you gain more customers in your region.

Here's a very present Winona Ryder last night in New York for the premiere of Disconnect. God, those eyes. Those eyes. Are clear and wide and as beguiling as they've ever been. And, strangely, for some reason, she reminds me here, a little, of the Jolie. Angles, skin tone, lips, something?
I would agree to have a baby if the Jolie and Winona Ryder made another movie together. Well now that's a weird one. Do you Gossip Genie that, or not?

Only two days into the New Year came the startling news that Mike Vraney, the founder of Something Weird Video, had died at the age of 56 after a long and private bout with lung cancer. The announcement was made on Facebook by his wife Lisa Petrucci, who has run the company with him since the mid-1990s and vows─we're glad to hear─that it will continue. Mike had only turned 56 a few days prior to his death, on December 29th─a remarkably short life for someone who made such an enormous difference.
Since founding Something Weird Video (named after Herschell Gordon Lewis' 1967 LSD movie) in 1990, Mike rescued literally hundreds of orphaned features from the brink of extinction and successfully rebranded them to make them attractive, accessible and even fashionable to new generations of fans. It might never have happened if he hadn't broken his foot while skateboarding in 1981. To help him pass the time while recuperating, he asked a friend who knew about such newfangled contraptions if he might set him up with a VHS player and some weird movies from his collection. Mike, who had been a teenage theater projectionist before managing various west coast punk bands (including The Dead Kennedys), immersed himself in the new video subculture and, as he watched, the gears began to turn.
His first eureka was realizing that tapes could be copied and sold, which he did for awhile before incorporating. When Michael J. Weldon's book THE PSYCHOTRONIC ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FILM appeared in 1983, it presented him with a kind of road map, one that he was able to fine-tune with the assistance of Bill Landis' SLEAZOID EXPRESS and old copies of ADAM FILM WORLD. He was hardly alone in his interest and knew it─everyone who bought Weldon's book suddenly had 500 new films they wanted to see─but Mike didn't just want to see them; he wanted to be the guy who found and provided them. It turned out to be a job for which he was ideally positioned.
Producer David F. Friedman─by his own admission the last of a chain of exploitation movie con men known as "The 40 Thieves"─dubbed Vraney "the 41st thief" because he had found the forgotten warehouses where orphaned 35mm prints had gone to die and, in ways best left for others to tell in detail, came into their possession. Sometimes these warehouses were literally on the eve of closure, their entire unclaimed inventory destined for incineration. True, they weren't exactly Mike's property to claim but, thanks to his efforts, they survived. Mike sometimes came into possession of multiple prints and meticulously assembled the best reels from each, adding back whenever possible the footage some projectionists of generations past had snipped out for their own personal reels. If a rightful owner's whereabouts were known, they were contacted─or they contacted him. Either way, men and women who considered themselves out of the film business for decades suddenly found themselves in league with a laid-back but tireless young business partner who made their presumed-dead product vital again. Sometimes, as a special reward, they would give him the keys to the kingdom─the personal vaults where they kept their original negatives, including the negatives of some desired titles that eluded capture elsewhere─as well as introductions to their surviving colleagues. Between this and a Midas touch at garage sales, a catalogue of more than 2,500 titles resulted. To be considered the 41st Thief was probably the greatest accolade Mike ever desired, but considering how many films he saved from extinction, it would not be overstating things to call him "the Schindler of 42nd Street."
Mike Vraney raised the dead. Because of him, a wealth of exploitation cinema mostly ranging from the 1930s through the 1970s─movies that were made to play for one or two weeks and then be forgotten─could be examined with sustained vision for the first time. He made them available to fans in search of fun, and very likely some perverts in search of kicks, but his rescues also rewrote film history. Lost films were found. Films shown only regionally within the United States suddenly became available to an international following. "Adults Only" features and featurettes made for wartime/postwar audiences now mostly dead became within reach of their children, grandchildren and sociology majors. Other labels had first introduced the likes of Herschell Gordon Lewis and Michael Findlay to home video, but Something Weird (named after one of H.G. Lewis' films) went for their deep cuts, enabling historians to look past their best-known work to research and chronicle their achievements in toto. As a result, the films tell us about more than just themselves; they tell us things about the periods in which they were made that might otherwise have been lost to posterity.
We're not just talking about SCREAM OF THE BUTTERFLY, THE FAT BLACK PUSSYCAT and PSYCHED BY THE 4-D WITCH; we're also talking about Brian De Palma's MURDER A LA MOD, Abel Gance's END OF THE WORLD, George A. Romero's THERE'S ALWAYS VANILLA, Tony Anthony's COMETOGETHER (a movie with an Apple Records soundtrack!), mondo films like ECCO and IT'S A SICK SICK SICK SICK WORLD, the latter-day smut of Edward D. Wood, Jr., the elusive English dubs of Ernst Hofbauer sex-ed movies from Munich, and the unsuspected early acting gigs of people like Rue McLanahan, Grayson Hall and Richard B. Schull.
|June Roberts - the ultimate Something Weird girl - as seen in Doris Wishman's MY BROTHER'S WIFE.
It was Something Weird that recovered such theretofore "lost" horror films as THE HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND (and its alternate cut IT'S HOT IN PARADISE), Andy Milligan's SEEDS OF SIN, TERROR IN THE MIDNIGHT SUN (the original Swedish film that was recut into INVASION OF THE ANIMAL PEOPLE here in the States), BLOODY PIT OF HORROR, the Joseph Green recut of Tetusji Takechi's 1964 version of DAYDREAM, THE BEAST THAT KILLED WOMEN, STING OF DEATH, DRACULA THE DIRTY OLD MAN, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO COUNT DRACULA, LOVE GODDESSES OF BLOOD ISLAND, THE CURIOUS DR. HUMPP, KISS ME QUICK, the Boris Karloff series THE VEIL, the Lon Chaney Jr. series 13 DEMON STREET, the OLGA films and Michael Findlay's FLESH trilogy. This is by no means a complete list.
Arguably, Something Weird's most important salvage has been nearly all of what is known about that group of films called "roughies," a black-and-white repository for postwar sexual aggression that, once revealed, demonstrated unsuspected ties to 1930's and '40s film serials, 1950s and '60s men's magazines, an occasional parallel to 1960s gore cinema, and a clear predecessor to the bolder horror cinema that followed in the 1970's. Likewise, their collection of "Roadshow Rarities"─vintage exploitation films posing as sex, race and drug education─offers a valuable index of provincial America's ignorance about such matters as recently as just before the arrival of television, and thanks to Vraney's excavations, a fairly complete history of Florida-based filmmaking now stands to be written. As a teens and early twenties, Vraney had worked as a drive-in and porn theater projectionist and never lost his love for the arcana of his profession; Something Weird consequently packaged more volumes of drive-in intermission and trailer arcana than any other label, something for which I remain particularly grateful.
In addition to releasing 2,500+ titles on VHS and DVD-R, Mike produced REEL WILD CINEMA with host Sandra Bernhard for cable television, documentary features (the most recent being 2013's THAT'S SEXPLOITATION, which I covered recently here), and he was also an associate producer on Lewis' one-shot return to active filmmaking, BLOOD FEAST 2: ALL U CAN EAT (2002). Image Entertainment has licensed dozens of SWV titles for release on DVD and Blu-ray and, for several years now, the cable provider Comcast offers a Something Weird On Demand channel.
I didn't know Mike well and, to be perfectly honest, our relationship was not always smooth. In the early years of VIDEO WATCHDOG, he literally overwhelmed me with product and he complained when our coverage didn't reflect this - it didn't matter to him that I had a responsibility to be fair and balanced to all our suppliers. In retrospect, I understand his intentions perfectly; he was fighting for his babies, and what he was sending out was all interesting stuff. It all deserved coverage, and I could have easily devoted an entire magazine to the wonders he was uncovering. I remember asking Mike why he kept releasing stuff in such volume, which made it impossible to keep up with; he told me that a lot of people advised him to hold some things back for a rainy day, but (he said, in that smooth and self-amused voice of his) "I figure, no... just put it all out there now" - his feeling being that he was offering a variety of things and they all had their corners of fandom to satisfy, that every title he was putting out might be somebody's holy grail and he didn't see the sense in making anyone wait for it. Their money was in hand now. Looking back, I can't say for sure that he was wrong.
The only time we met was at the 1994 Chiller Theater convention. Our in-person rapport turned out to be even more comically awkward than our long distance one - we kept bumping into each other at inconvenient moments and had a knack for saying things to each other that got misinterpreted. But whenever Mike unearthed something radically wonderful or unsuspected, I always got on the phone right away to let him know it was appreciated or, in later years - after he decided to hang back and manage his son's punk rock band - fired off an email to him via Lisa. Likewise, when he assembled that singularly wonderful, combination art object-grab bag-Halloween history lesson called MONSTERS CRASH THE PAJAMA PARTY SPOOK SHOW SPECTACULAR, we devoted a feature article and interview (written by Bill Cooke) praising it in VIDEO WATCHDOG #81. That piece seemed to smooth over all the little bumps Mike and I had over the previous years on our shared highway. I remember him telling me what a kick he got out of certain provocative things he'd said that I'd left in (like his reference to "some joker at Disney," which he said some other editors might have cut). And he was particularly pleased that we had opened the interview by showing him surrounded by cans of film. "Because that's what it's all about, those reels of film," he said. "People forget that."
But they shouldn't, and people would also do well to remember Mike Vraney, a true home video pioneer who used his homegrown business to make a real and measurable global difference in the world of cinema. Thanks to him, movie reviewers, critics and historians have much more to explore, process and write about those worlds we almost lost, and the rest of us have an almost inexhaustible wealth of twisted cinema to enjoy.

Can you believe there is still more to talk about in our plan for creating a Genealogy and Family Hope Chest?
Your memories and family stories are invaluable. The story your grandmother told you of riding in her dad's Model T in the rumble seat may be lost forever unless you preserve it. What about the stories your mother told you of her dad's love of practical jokes? And Grandma telling you about how much she loved her mother's dumplings. These are precious memories that deserve to be passed on to future generations.
Any family lore about your ancestors' origins or personalities may also disappear with the next generation. That story of your Great grandpa Sam making dandelion wine and getting drunk on it is priceless! The family lore that Great Grandma Lizzie was considered the blacksheep of the family and eloped with your great grandfather against her parents' wishes - it's all you have to make her come alive as more than a name and some dates.
Maybe your family never told you any stories but that's okay because you have your own memories of them! What do you remember of your grandmother? Your grandfather? There must be something and your memories are worth sharing.
The first step is to share those stories and your memories verbally. Tell your family, your children and your grand-children. If they roll their eyes you know they've heard the stories before but that's good! It might be fun to pick a traditional time of year, such as Christmas. Go around the table and have everyone tell their favourite story of an ancestor or family member at the table.
The next step is to write your stories and memories down. That doesn't mean write them in your genealogy progam and you're done. That doesn't mean write them down and file them in your overstuffed filing cabinet and you're done. Nope, you have to write those stories and memories down in such a way that they will be saved and carried on.
There are different ways to accomplish this - you can write them as part of your own Memoirs. They can be inserted gradually into a daily journal or diary that you keep. They can be written as part of the notes about an ancestor and a Genealogy Booklet created to be shared with other family members.
But here's a few tips - if you are writing your memoirs or keeping a journal, choose a book to write in that looks important, expensive or old. It's all pyschological but if you write on scraps of paper or in a cheap Daily Planner, the odds are those writings will be tossed out.
I use handcrafted leather books that have handmade paper from Iona Handcrafted Books - they look like something that should be kept, not discarded. My handmade leather bound journals also make me feel like writing in them! I talked about these journals in an earlier post called Keeping a Journal for History & Genealogy The idea is to make your journals look important and worthwhile so that the next family member is reluctant to throw them away.
If you are creating a Memory Booklet to share with other family members, be creative in its title. Pyschologically people will save something called "Memoirs" even if not interested but will probably toss "My Story".
Think about it - most of us are reluctant to throw out a Bible even if we are not interested in the Family Register pages within. But if we are not interested in such genealogical items we would not hesitate to toss out individual pages titled "Family Register". I like to think about my audience and not all my descendants will be as passionate about genealogy and the preservation of family stories and data as I am.
Subconsciously, something handwritten is considered more worthwhile and important than something typed. Handwritten is unique. Typed may be mass produced.
We tend to save items that we deem important, thus the handcrafted leather journal with handmade paper filled with my messy handwriting has a better chance of surviving through several generations then something I type on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, coil bound. So why not do it all? Type it up and share it. Write it out by hand and keep it in your journal box.
I talked about storing documents and original papers in an earlier post Genealogy and Family Hope Chest Step 5: Original Documents.
I love antiques so I have a collection of various size boxes and trunks. I use them for my document and journal boxes. This little set of three assorted boxes has come in very handy for me. The bottom one is my Journal Box, the middle one is for my mother's journals and the top one stores CDs right now. That will change as I think of more family genealogy items I want to preserve and store.
My Document Box is full so I have a separate Antique Box where I store my journals. I like to keep them separate anyway. You can see that my earlier journals weren't always these nice leather-bound books! What a hodge-podge. But since I have them all together in one nice antique box, I think there's a good chance they'll be kept and preserved by future generations.

Genealogy and Family Hope Chest Step 7: Memories & Stories

Great ideas Lorine! My one concern with the old chests is not being able to protect against any type of water damage. I would either make sure that the contents are in some sort of waterproof bag or I would simply have plastic sealable tubs within the chests to hold all my materials.

Excellent point Thomas! In fact I am going to place my docs and journals inside waterproof containers this weekend and THEN put them back inside my boxes.

American documentary photographer Peter Beste will hold a photo exhibition from May 9 to June 7 at Steven Kasher Gallery in New York City. The show is curated by Johan Kugelberg and is not to be missed.
The opening reception and book signing is scheduled for May 9 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Peter Beste's book "True Norwegian Black Metal", will be issued on May 15 via Vice Books.
In the last two decades a bizarre and violent musical subculture called black metal has emerged in Norway. It has its roots in a heady blend of splatter movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Pagan mythology and adolescent angst. In the early-mid 1990s, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society.
Peter Beste has spent the last eight years working in the milieu of this insulated and secretive community. Beste's access and insight has been absolutely without precedent, resulting in an amazing photographic journey. Beste has earned the respect and trust of this impenetrable, suspicious and often elitist community. With each visit Beste saw more, photographed more and eventually accumulated enough material for this book. "True Norwegian Black Metal" is a visual testimonial to this subculture. Peter Beste and editor Johan Kugelberg have created a unique photographic narrative that explores black metal from a truly visceral perspective.
With extensive contributions from the personal archive of Jon "Metalion" Kristiansen, publisher of the original Norwegian black metal publication Slayer magazine, a unique opportunity is here presented to see original artifacts and ephemera from this secluded rock community, and to read accounts of these events in the words of the people who were actually there at the time.
"True Norwegian Black Metal" offers confrontational live performance photographs of a savage subculture set alongside the stark beauty and natural allure of a landscape often shrouded in darkness.
The book is comprised of:
* 160 pages of photographs of the following bands/individuals: Nocturno Culto and Fenriz of DARKTHRONE; Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Blasphemer, and Maniac of MAYHEM; Samoth of EMPEROR; Frost of SATYRICON; ENSLAVED; Abbath of IMMORTAL; Gaahl, Infernus, King, and Kvitrafn of GORGOROTH; Nattefrost of CARPATHIAN FOREST; 1349; DIMMU BORGIR; ILDJARN; AURA NOIR; and many more
* Interviews/quotes from Frost (1349), Abbath (IMMORTAL), Fenriz (DARKTHRONE), Gaahl (GORGOROTH)
* Essay by authors and Jon "Metalion" Kristiansen, publisher of the original Norwegian black metal publication Slayer magazine, including 32 pages of original artifacts, photographs, ephemera, and personal accounts by black metal's key figures from Krisiansen's personal archive."

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2011.
Before I start I would like to tell all that I am using visual studio 2005, dotnet framework 2.0 , windows xp sp 2 and IIS 5.1 with sqlserver 2008. I developed a web application and I wanted to make it available online on our server. The first thing that I did was to publish the web site, the path for the published files was c:\eprocure. That went pretty well no error, and visual studio message was "published successfully". The next thing was to make the published website accessible through the local server. I created a virtual folder named "epro" for my published web application. Than I tried to access the login.aspx page as http://localhost/epro/login.aspx and BANG the following error came out of no where
A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/epro/'. Line 1, Posi…
<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Master.master" AutoEventWireup…
I tried a lot of tweaking , messed up a lot of thing but nothing worked. Finally the problem was solved as follows Type "cmd" in RUN. Go the following location.
Look for a file
When multiple versions of the .NET Framework are executing side-by-side on a single computer, the ASP.NET ISAPI version mapped to an ASP.NET application determines which version of the common language runtime (CLR) is used for the application. The ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe) allows an administrator or installation program to easily update the script maps for an ASP.NET application to point to the ASP.NET ISAPI version that is associated with the tool. The tool can also be used to display the status of all installed versions of ASP. NET, register the ASP.NET version that is coupled with the tool, create client-script directories, and perform other configuration operations.
Execute the following command
this command installs the version of ASP.NET that is associated with Aspnet_regiis.exe and updates the script maps at the IIS metabase root and below. Only the script maps for applications that use an earlier version of ASP.NET are updated. Applications that use a later version are not affected.
Than execute the following command
this command removes the client-side scripts for ASP.NET from the aspnet_client subdirectory of each IIS site directory. Only the client-side scripts for the ASP.NET version associated with Aspnet_regiis.exe are removed.
Restart the system and check the website as http://localhost/epro/login.aspx and the site is functional.
Please leave your comments if this helps.

In the last twenty years, since I've been living with chronic pain, I've met very few individuals who have only one problem. Most of them, like me, have numerous ones. Some of them are permanent and some come and go like unwelcome guests. I often have to be careful because some of my friends feel they are in crisis when they have some current issue arise and their life is in a spin, trying to deal with it. The size of the problem is not the real issue; it's the jarring effect it has on the life of the individual as it disrupts, worries and often, hurts. Since I'm an old hand at this suffering gig, I often have to watch my level of empathy and keep it in check. It's not their fault I'm a veteran in the game and they're not. Thank God they're not.
As I've mentioned so often to all of you, this isn't a contest to see who can be the sickest one of all; therefore we have to be careful that we don't fall into that old crack of judgment that says, "You think that's somethin', well you ought to see mine." We're adults, not little boys in a school yard having a "whizzing" contest. Nothing good comes from thinking that way. You don't help your friend and you certainly don't feel any better yourself. Why do we do it, we humans? I think that's a question for the ages or for God. Perhaps, we want the attention that comes from listing our many and various maladies but any attention other than medical attention doesn't really heal or soothe for long.
Many of us have discovered when one part of your body goes awry, something else soon follows. That's one of the reasons it's so important to "stay on top" of our chronic pain problems. This is one of the reasons many of us with back problems can truly attest to the domino effect in our lives. This is a perfect time to sing, "The head bone connected to the neck bone, the neck bone connected to the back bone, the back bone connected to the sitter bone, etc." This isn't a problem healthy individuals give much attention but when you have a body part, or many body parts that have been injured or struck by disease, you realize this is working in your life.
The human body is designed to be basically symmetrical, functional and strong. When something goes awry, for instance, an injured knee, then you begin to walk in a guarded fashion. You have to because it hurts. If you do that for long it can throw off the alignment or balance of your hip, then you pelvis, etc. Often, we don't even realize we are doing it, this crooked or uneven walking or moving until someone else points it out
to us. This shows the importance of putting out those "fires" in our lives before and because they spread.
I recently broke my left small toe. My thought, after the initial cursing was, "No big deal, it's just a toe. As a former nurse, I knew the doctor would say, "Oh, you did. Well, there's not much we can do for it. It will heal." Three months later, when I finally went to the doctor I realized it had affected my foot as well as the nerve on the outside of the foot. My legs have been hurting more than usual because of a change in my gait, or way of walking. Something as small as a toe broken into two pieces can influence so much.
Since we're not inanimate objects like dominoes, we don't have to let it happen. I find it fascinating when folks line up dominoes in lines instead of using them to play the game but don't really want it in my own life. Somewhere in there, you have to reach out and put your finger in the cadre of little "cadets" and stop them from falling. Put out those fires before they rage. Get on top of those problems before they become gigantic. I know what you're thinking. "I don't want to go to the doctor" or, "Darn it, I don't feel like
doing exercises or even stretches today." I know. Hey, you're only human. You don't have to like the activity but you do have to love yourself enough to keep this body in the best possible shape you can. I know it would be so easy just to "let it go." That's strictly up to you, but for me, I plan on putting my finger in that row of dominoes before they all fall just like that little Dutch boy who put his finger in that hole in the dike in Holland.
Remember, we're all composed of connected, inter-working parts. Try to remember the whole picture. That's who you are,

Dispute resolution– what is it?
Dispute resolution refers to services that are designed to help you resolve your disputes without needing to go to court.
The Family Court of Australia and Federal Circuit Court of Australia use dispute resolution services (funded by the Australian Government) because they are an affordable and often quick option for resolving disputes, while allowing you greater control and management of the process and the outcome.
Where possible, you should seek legal advice before deciding what the best option for your dispute is. A lawyer will be able to help you understand your rights and responsibilities and can explain the law that applies to your case. They can also help you and your former partner reach an agreement without needing to come to court.
If you can't afford a lawyer, the Family Relationship Advice Line offers free legal advice and information on services that may be able to help you come to an agreement. You can call them on 1800 050 321, or for more information visit www.familyrelationships.gov.au
You can also get free legal advice from a legal advice line or Legal Aid organisation in your state or territory. For contact details for legal aid services in your state visit www.nationallegalaid.org
Court staff cannot give you legal advice.
What kind of dispute resolution services are there?
In family law cases, you must make a genuine effort to resolve your disputes through dispute resolution services before you can apply to the courts for parenting orders and financial orders. The Court will not be able to hear an application for a parenting order unless a certificate from an accredited family dispute practitioner is filed with the application.
The Family Court requires people applying for financial orders to follow pre-action procedures including dispute resolution before being able to file an application. In the Federal Circuit Court people are encouraged to resolve issues they don't agree about before filing any applications. In many cases parties will be ordered to attend dispute resolution before they file with the Court.
How do I find dispute resolution services and what does it cost?
To find a dispute resolution service provider in your area visit www.familyrelationships.gov.au, or call the Family Relationships Advice Line on 1800 050 321.
The cost of dispute resolution will depend on the provider, with private providers setting their own fees. Family relationship centres provide one hour of their services free and will charge after this depending on your financial situation. For more information on dispute resolution costs visit www.familyrelationships.gov.au/talk-someone/centres
We've reached an agreement. What's next?
If you and your former partner have come to an agreement through dispute resolution then you can make a parenting plan or file consent orders with the Court.
For more information on parenting plans visit www.familyrelationships.gov.au
For more information about Consent orders see:
Are there any exceptions?
Yes. In certain circumstances the courts may be able to grant you an exemption from certain requirements. For example, this will only occur if:
- the matter is urgent
- the courts have reasonable grounds to believe that family violence or child abuse has occurred/or there is a risk of this occurring.
If you think your matter meets these circumstances you should talk to court staff by using Live Chat, visit your local registry or call the National Enquiry Centre.

WARSAW, Poland -- Poland put on its biggest military parade in years Friday to mark its annual armed forces holiday, with the president saying the violence in Ukraine shows that conflict is still a "brutal reality" in Eastern Europe and Poland must be able to defend itself. Fighter jets and military helicopters flew over Warsaw as tanks rolled through the capital. More than 1,000 Polish soldiers marched, joined by dozens of U.S. and Canadian troops who are in Poland for NATO exercises. The parade came on the Aug. 15 holiday that honors a stunning Polish victory against Russian Bolsheviks in 1920.
Poland has been occupied or controlled by Moscow for much of the past two centuries, leaving Poles shaken by the current Russian aggression in neighboring Ukraine. The government has reacted with appeals to NATO to set up permanent bases in Poland, but is facing resistance from Germany and some other members. "The Russian-Ukrainian conflict clearly shows that not all of the nations in our region can live in security," President Bronislaw Komorowski said in a speech before the parade. He said Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, its arming of separatists in eastern Ukraine and the "shooting down of a civilian passenger jet with children on board" show that the world must abandon its "illusions" and see that "armed conflict is still a brutal reality of Eastern Europe." He also called on NATO members to invest more in their defense, decrying that NATO spending has gone down even as Russia over the past eight years has significantly increased its own military spending. Present at the ceremony was the family of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Michael H. Ollis, who was killed in Afghanistan in August 2013 while shielding a Polish soldier from a suicide bomber who attacked the Polish base in Ghazni. Polish leaders have praised Ollis as a hero.

Lottery Director Dennis Wilson says the person came to the agency's Topeka headquarters Friday morning with an attorney and some financial advisers. Wilson says the person does not want to be identified, even by gender. The winner did not take part in the lottery's news conference Friday afternoon. Wilson says the winning ticket for the March 30 drawing was bought at a Casey's General Store in Ottawa, about 40 miles southeast of Topeka. The person is taking the winnings in a lump sum of almost $158 million, or roughly $110 million after taxes.

Orange has launched a prepaid credit card in the UK, branded Orange Cash and backed by MasterCard, while from today the Irish can get hold of an O2 Money card.
The plastic cards are contactless, and so can be used by waving them near a reader, but both launches are really about sticking a toe into the financial waters, and testing the business models before they get virtualised into the memory of a mobile phone.
Prepaid credit cards aren't new, but have never been very widely used in the UK. It's basically a debit card with its own account, money is instantly deducted from the prepaid balance, and the card stops working when the money runs out. But unlike a debit card you have to pay for the card (£5 and €5 respectively) and to top it up too. Rates vary between a free top-up in an Orange store, to £1.50 to top up Orange Cash in a Post Office, right up to €2.99 to stick €300 into an O2 Money card at an O2 shop.
O2 Money is capping its card at €350, but you can stick £5,000 into Orange Cash, though to do that from a credit card will cost you £200 (4 per cent) even if you are in an Orange store.
So why would anyone want one? It can be handed over to unreliable relatives and topped up with a monthly allowance, and is intended to remove the reliance on the small chips of metal that we're carrying around these days.
But to the network operators, they're also a step towards pay-by-mobile technologies. Everything Everywhere has made it clear that it will be launching on-phone payments this year, and O2 Money has similar, if less explicit, intentions. Both these products will evolve into downloadable applications for NFC (Near Field Communications) handsets, and soon. The next question is: will there be a Google Checkout or iTunes application for them to compete with? ®

Thousands of Boca and River fans set for Copa final in Spain
MADRID (AP) — Hundreds of Boca Juniors fans gathered outside their team's hotel in Madrid on Saturday, chanting "It doesn't matter where you play, we will always follow you."
A few hours later, thousands of River fans packed the iconic Plaza del Sol in the heart of the Spanish capital, one day before the bitter Argentine rivals meet in the final of the Copa Libertadores, South America's equivalent of the Champions League.
Tens of thousands of Boca and River fans are in the city for the "superclasico" at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday.
"I think fans from both teams are very nervous today," said 14-year-old Boca fan Joaquim Naser, who traveled from Argentina to watch the game. "It's going to be a great party at the Bernabeu. It's going to be packed with South American fans."
About 25,000 supporters from each club are expected at the Bernabeu, with many making the trip of more than 10,000 kilometers (6,000 miles) from Argentina.
Carrying blue-and-yellow flags, banners and drums, Boca fans welcomed the squad after its last practice session before the final. The supporters cheered when the bus arrived and players waved to them.
Dressed in red and white, River fans later gathered in the city center, taking over the Plaza del Sol as they chanted the team's traditional songs.
Both teams had closed practice sessions in the last day of preparations for the final, which was moved to Madrid after fan violence marred the second leg in Buenos Aires two weeks ago. Boca Juniors players were injured before the match when River fans attacked the Boca team bus with rocks, bottles and wood. The first leg, hosted by Boca in Buenos Aires, ended in a 2-2 draw.
"Hopefully we will enjoy some of the atmosphere that we would have had with the match in Argentina," said Nacho Sorroche, a Boca fan who lives in Madrid. "We know it's not going to be exactly the same, but I think it will be a great environment."
Boca's latest attempt to be declared champion without playing on Sunday failed when the Court of Arbitration for Sport denied its request to suspend the second leg. Boca appealed to CAS on Friday after South American soccer governing body CONMEBOL ruled against disqualifying River from the tournament because of what happened in Buenos Aires.
Nearly 80,000 fans are expected at the Bernabeu, with supporters from each club placed at opposite sides of the stadium. There will also be separate fan zones prepared for them near the Bernabeu.
Spanish authorities were on high alert as a group of 400 to 500 violent Argentine fans were expected in Madrid. Officials said almost 4,000 security personnel would be deployed for Sunday's "high risk" match, nearly double the number used in the "clasicos" between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Directors from both clubs were expected at a dinner at the Bernabeu on Saturday night, along with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez and FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
Boca is seeking its seventh Copa Libertadores title, which would tie Argentina's Independiente as the competition's most successful club. Boca's last continental trophy was won in 2007.
River is a three-time Copa winner, with its latest victory coming in 2015. The Argentine giants had never previously met in the final.

A further clarification to this call for interest: I meant to say please use "Reply All" so that the proposals may be accessed by the Forms WG for the purpose of evaluation and selection. I received one so far, to be forwarded soon, which alerted me to the fact that it had not been received by the list. John M. Boyer, Ph.D. STSM: Lotus Forms Architect and Researcher Chair, W3C Forms Working Group Workplace, Portal and Collaboration Software IBM Victoria Software Lab E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Blog: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/JohnBoyer John Boyer/CanWest/IBM@IBMCA Sent by: email@example.com 07/05/2007 04:38 PM To firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com cc Subject Call for Interest Statements: XForms Evening Event at XML 2007 The organizers of the XML 2007 conference (IdeaAlliance) have graciously agreed to add a "featured evening event" on XForms to the official program. On behalf of the W3C Forms working group, and I am making the arrangements for this event, which is anticipated to be scheduled on Monday Dec. 3rd from 7:30-9:30. The theme of this special session is "XForms: End to End XML". There will be a 30 minute keynote (speaker to be announced at a later time), and there are also six slots for a 15-minute presentation (12 minutes to present plus 3 minutes for questions and speaker switching). This call for interest statements pertains to the six 15 minute speaking slots. We request a statement of interest in presenting from members of the Forms community no later than Friday, July 20, 2007. The statement should include a proposed title and a paragraph describing the proposed content of the talk. Statements of interest should be sent in response to this email. Talks are desired that stress the business/customer impact of XForms in addition to showing important technical advancements for XForms. Proposals for talks that include a software demonstration will be weighted more heavily. The topic of "End to End XML" can be interpreted in a fairly broad manner in your proposal. For example, presentations could deal with various aspects in the lifecycle of a forms application, such as design time, run-time behaviors, interactions with the server-side, or experiences with deployment on mobile devices and current browsers. Presentations could discuss issues related to particular vertical industries, such as government, financial, insurance, supply chain/manufacturing, and healthcare. Many further possibilities exist, as the main criteria used in selection will be strength of business impact, technical innovation or both. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, John M.

The 21st century cosmopolitan male, much like his female counterpart, does not shy away from going the whole hog when it comes to accentuating his looks or appearance. Nowadays, it is not unusual to come across men, both young and old, turning themselves out in flashy apparels that are meticulously paired or rather accessorized with earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Yes, men these days, not only go out of the way to flaunt trendy garbs no matter how outlandish these might be but at the same time proudly show-off their trinkets. However for men, effectively matching jewelry pieces with a range of outfits can be a tall order and requires the individual to have a sense of styling that is profoundly aesthetic. MENSSKULL, a web-based shopping store that exclusively retails male jewelry, including mens necklace, can make the sensitive task of pairing somewhat easier.
MENSSKULL JEWELRY is a unique e-commerce store that solely focuses on featuring jewelry items designed for men. This online store which was incorporated in 2014 stocks a gamut of jewelry items including but not limited to skull rings, skull bracelets, skull pendants, silver necklaces, silver bracelets, and brass rings. The store employs a team of highly experienced and skilled designers who make the most of their craftsmanship for designing exquisite pieces of costume trinkets and jewelries. Each and every piece of skull jewelry is handcrafted out of the purest grades of silver and brass. Any finished product, regardless of whether it is a bracelet, thumb ring or pendant is perfect in all respects.
Talking about the skull ring, every piece is chiseled from 925 grade of silver which is referred to as 'sterling silver' and essentially comprises of 92.5% of silver and 7.5% of copper or zinc or other metals. Alloying the silver with copper/zinc offers an extraordinary hardiness to the ring enabling it to be worn around the finger at all times. One can choose from a nearly endless variety of skull rings that bear fancy names like Dark Empire, Der Totmacher, Avanti, Dark Rabbit, Scar Skull, Pan Skull, Garborg, Mad Max, Devil Monster, Pentacle Magic Skull, and Death Skull. The web-based outfit claims that every designer on its rolls has over a decade of professional experience.
At the same time, MENSSKULL Jewelry maintains that all skull jewelry showcased on its official site contains 92.5% silver in keeping with the international standards. So, if any customer can prove that the silver content in any trinket is less than the standard 92.5%, then MENSSKULL Jewelry will refund or reimburse the full amount via PAYPAL. This online jewelry shop for men hires the world's most reputed courier companies like DHL, TNT, FEDEX, and UPS for delivering customers' orders. Customers can forward payments using American Express, MasterCard, and Visa credit cards as well as through PayPal.

GCN Faces
I perform each December in an annual broadway-style production called Glorious Christmas Nights. With 300+ cast and crew, we perform 18 shows in the first two weeks of December to nearly 25,000 people from Richmond and all over the East coast. I've been taking photos of the participants since 2007, and gathered quite a collection of photos of the unique personalities that make up GCN. Most are of auditions, rehearsals, and behind-the-scenes action, but this past year's show provided me with the opportunity to take photos while performing on stage - that was a blast. A lot of these are taken with an iPhone/3/4/5/6, and many with point and shoot cameras. These are not really about the quality of the photos; it's about the personalities, and the FACES. One really cool aspect of the photos is seeing folks change -especially the younger ones- over the years.Read More
