We rarely do crafty food projects. In fact, I may be correct by saying that we never do crafty food projects. I don't even want to tell you about the cake pop fiasco that happened when I attempted to make a batch for Amir's engagement party. It was such a mess. When it comes to cake pops, some people are champions, and others…well, they get a "good effort" pat on the back. When it comes to chocolate covered-anything, now that is a place where we can keep up with the competition. When we were asked to replicate a cute and holiday-appropriate treat with only three ingredients, it was a no-brainer. The fact that you can do these on your own, with friends, family or children is what makes them an excellent holiday project.

For most of yesterday, Texas Vascular Associates had no comment on a lawsuit that claims it fired a woman for refusing to commit billing fraud.
But late in the day, the Baylor Health-affiliated group of nine doctors started fighting back. They called the accuser, who's represented by former federal Judge Joe Kendall, "disgruntled." They said she was fired earlier this year for "abusive" conduct.
And they hired a powerhouse lawyer, Thomas Melsheimer, who recently helped win the largest Medicaid fraud settlement in Texas history.
Texas Vascular is continuing its counter-attack with this news release today.

No gym? No time? No problem! America Now Wellness Expert Peggy Hall shows you the only three exercises you really need when you're short on time -- and you can do them right in front of the TV.
Peggy calls these her "magic three moves" because:
"And you don't even need to carve out any extra time," she adds. Here they are:
1. Bottom Booster
Sit on the edge of your couch with your feet a few inches apart and pointing straight ahead. Stand up, then sit almost all the way back down. Stand up again and repeat about 12 to 15 times.
2. Bust Booster
Place your hands about shoulder-width apart on the back of the couch or the arm of the couch (this makes it harder). Step back until your body is on a diagonal line. Bend your elbows and lower your chest several inches, then straighten your arms to press back up. Repeat 12 to 15 times. Make it easier by placing your knees on the floor.
3. Triceps Tamer
Sit on the edge of the couch and place your hands near your hips. Stretch out your legs, then lower your hips several inches toward the floor, bending your elbows to do so. Straighten your arms and repeat in this manner 12 to 15 times. Make it easier by keeping your knees bents and your feet closer to the couch.
Peggy recommends that you do these every other day and you'll feel and see results in as little as two weeks! As you get stronger, you can increase the number of repetitions.
"Don't let lack of time or lack of a gym membership get in the way of your becoming stronger, slimmer, healthier and happier," says Peggy.

Marina Zamor teaches 4th and 5th grade Language Arts. And her students love the subject.
"We were reading a folktale," she says. And we were reviewing the setting, characters, and main idea of a story."
These youngsters make big strides during their time with Ms. Zamor.
She says, "We progress monitor them every week. We had students here reading 45 words per minute at the beginning of the year. Now they're reading 130. And they're really excited about it. They can't wait to show us what they learned. So, it's rewarding. I love doing what I do."
This teacher's dedication goes beyond these school walls. Far beyond. You never know where she'll show up.
"If you want to know the truth, I go to their houses," she says. They all know me. I drop by and I let their moms know that they need to be reading for at least 15-20 minutes a day."
That's right. She does whatever it takes to keep the kids on task.
"So when I leave here every day, me and Ms. Cofer, we drive by all of their houses and then we make sure that they're inside. When they see us they usually run. Yeah. And we stop and we knock on the door and we let the parents know that they need to be reading 15-20 minutes before they can go outside."
Great job Marina Zamor. An outstanding educator at Hornsby and an outstanding member of our community.
She says, "This is really rewarding. This is all I love to do. The kids are what I love. Everything else doesn't matter to me. The kids, they know it. This is my blessing. This was my calling. I was a nursing major and I didn't really like the death situation and these kids bring me to life."

The spirit of connecting
The new Munich Airport: One strong brand with a strong sign
Munich Airport, or Flughafen München as it's known in German, turned 20 in 2012 by handling almost 40 million passengers that year as the seventh busiest airport in Europe. While the "M" in its logo was widely regarded as a strong, clearly recognizable and effective symbol, the airport authority realized the brand lacked a clear positioning and needed to raise its profile.
For a start, the activities of the airport group and its subsidiaries were disconnected with the Munich Airport brand. Furthermore, the wide range of brands within the portfolio seemed arbitrary and confusing. In order to succeed in the highly competitive German, European, and global travel market, it was necessary to strengthen and define the brand architecture, refresh its visual and verbal identity, and identify a forward-looking strategy to differentiate and clarify the brand.
Interbrand was hired to develop a new brand strategy, positioning, and visual identity for the airport in order to unite all company divisions while emphasizing the qualities of the core Munich Airport brand.
The importance of mobility today in this dynamically changing world makes the aviation industry more essential—yet challenging—than ever before. Munich Airport clearly needed to solidify its reputation as one of the leading airports in the world and position itself as a seamless mobility brand.
"Today, airports like Munich can no longer be seen as mere infrastructure facilities," says Michael Otremba, the airport's vice president of marketing. "The spirit of connecting is at the core of what we do. So, we will focus on segments in which we can connect people, brands, emotions, dreams, services, and processes. With this focus, we hope to not only satisfy, but also surprise our guests."
With that in mind, the primary goal of the refresh was not only to assess and strengthen the airport's profile but also to create a cohesive understanding of the brand, internally and externally. The new brand strategy needed to meet the requirements of all Munich Airport divisions, correspond to its various target audiences and stakeholders, and consolidate a muddled brand architecture under one umbrella.
Interbrand's new, long-term brand positioning—launched in November 2013—thus focused on the airport's core qualities of close, reliable cooperation with strong partners, foresight and planning, the development of innovative solutions for the future, and the constant pursuit of more customer-oriented offers and services. These characteristics inspired Interbrand to develop the new brand idea and tagline: "Verbindung leben" which translates in English to "Living ideas—Connecting lives."
A new brand design and visual identity brings this new positioning to life by leveraging Flughafen München's iconic "M" logo. While highly regarded and well-established, the mark was not evolving or growing with dynamic and relevant content and context. No longer resonating with internal or external target groups, the design challenge was to honor yet refresh and evolve the graphic legacy of the original Flughafen München logo.
The new brand design goes back to the logo's roots, taking its original specifications and intent to a more modern and considered space. The basic shape of the new logo pays tribute to the classic "M" but now highlights the idea of connection. The visual element that gets to the heart of Munich Airport's new strategy: The right stroke in the letter "M," which serves as a connector and conveys the brand idea in its purest form.
The colors palette symbolizes the multifaceted experiences offered at the airport with a sophisticated look and feel. Silver or white can be added to enhance these color accents in order to evoke emotions ranging from refined to vibrant, depending on the purpose of the communication and the platform on which it appears.
The core of the brand experience comes to life through the interplay of all the design elements, including the integrated color palette, bolder brand typeface, an elevated and consistent tone of voice, and eye-catching imagery, which uses pairs of pictures to play up the idea of connections and storytelling, capturing the interplay of interactions in a single moment. The layout brings all of these components together.
The slant in the connector, inspired by the airport's architecture, plays a vital role in the overall design. The new "M" communicates the airport's brand promise and future. In addition to communicating the location (Munich/Bavaria) and the function (airport), it reflects the brand's values and philosophy.
The result communicates that Munich Airport is more than an international hub that gets you on your way with ease and grace, but a living, breathing place, a unique space to experience the joy of travel through authentic connections and meaningful moments. As Michael Otremba puts it, " Our goal is a cultural change and we realize that the key to success lies in the authenticity of our positioning."

I made this a couple years ago when the clocks were relatively new and everyone hated them. I guess it's kinda funny if you have a weird sense of humor like I do. I don't care either way about the clocks anymore, and I'd remove both my anti-clock movies if I could, but they're in a collection. Enjoy, I guess.

Ruffle-Trimmed Halter One-Piece Swimsuit - Girls 74 74
Adorable Suit, Could Use One Tweak We bought two of these suits, one for a 7yo and the other for a 3yo. They run a bit small, but are nice quality and adorable. The halter is great for sizing adjustments and comfort. The teal color faded a bit but to be fair, we wore them often in chlorine all summer. One suggested tweak: change the cut of the backside so it provides fuller rear coverage. These are just a tad skimpy. September 13, 2014
Love this swimsuit I love this suit it is both flattering and cute. I esp love the ruffles at the bottom. It adds a great touch. Two of my girls have this and they love it. I have bought this suit two years in a row and look forward to when the new colors come out. August 24, 2014
Great suit This is my daughter's favorite suit - fits great, cute, not skimpy. Held up well over a summer in the pool. August 21, 2014
lovely swimsuits lovely swimwear, well made and vibrant colors, so happy each granddaughter has one. August 20, 2014
Cute Suit! This is our second year ordering this suit. This year they changed the top to add more coverage. I didn't think this was a problem last year and find it to cover a little too much. Where I think it need more coverage is at the bottom. My daughters are always tugging at it an pulling it down. All that said, we still think it's a super cute suit and great for swim lessons. August 5, 2014
This suit is not just super cute, it is really well made too! I will definitely be ordering more of this style for my daughter next summer! July 30, 2014

Answer:For swimwear, we have ordered many styles and on my girl I have found that they run a bit larger. As it is already well into summer, if you want to wear it again next year, I would go ahead and order the size for her age. If you will only plan on keeping it for this season, go with the smaller choice. The quality is so good that we tend to keep the suits for longer. Hope that helps.

MADISON (WSAU) As Wisconsin political leaders cry-out for harmony, nine Republican legislators have pledged to seek a polarizing Tea Party agenda – some of which Democrats have called extreme. The nine promised to push for a bill demanding the arrests of any federal officials who try to implement the Obama health law in Wisconsin. And eight of the nine said they'd allow criminal sexual assault charges against federal airport screeners for invasive pat-downs at airport security checkpoints. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the nine Republicans signed pledges during their campaigns to support measures sought by the Campaign for Liberty. They also endorsed a right-to-work law in which private sector employees do not have to pay union dues – allowing sales of raw milk – ending state permits for carrying concealed weapons – and blocking state funds for the fortified "Real I-D" drivers' licenses that Wisconsin Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner proposed soon after 9-11.
The nine lawmakers who signed the tea party pledge include Senator Mary Lazich of New Berlin – and Assembly incumbents Chris Kapenga of Delafield, Don Pridemore of Hartford, Scott Krug of Wisconsin Rapids, Tom Larson of Colfax, and Erik Severson of Star Prairie. Severson told the group he opposed sex charges for airport screeners. Three newly-elected G-O-P Assembly members also signed the pledge – Dave Murphy of Greenville, Mark Born of Beaver Dam, and Rob Hutton of Brookfield.
A couple backed off of some of their pledges yesterday. Larson told Assembly Republicans that arresting federal officials who carry out Obama-care is not possible. Pridemore says he'd love to find ways to block the federal health law, but he's not sure about the best way to do it. As for right-to-work legislation, G-O-P leaders say they won't push for it – and Governor Scott Walker has said he's against it.

Understanding The Different Types Of Addiction
People can develop addictions to a wide array of different substances and it can be to illicit drugs, alcohol or prescription medications. Understanding the process of how addiction occurs and evolves and the danger signs to watch for is the only way a person can tell the difference between true addiction and problematic behavior, which is not an addiction problem. With the various different types of addiction, the only way to break the patterns and stop the cycle is by receiving help from a high quality Florida substance abuse rehabilitation center.
A person can go through the symptoms of addiction for many years without any type of problems developing. For some people, engaging in periodic or even habitual substance abuse and it never turns into an addiction problem, but for others it can happen almost instantaneously. Some people will go through a turning point in life to where an addiction or alcoholism has culminated into a very real problem and something must be done to stop it. Through admitting the problem and agreeing to seek treatment, a person can finally regain control over life again and become clean and sober.
A person living with an addiction to alcohol will go through a number of different stages and as the disease of alcoholism takes over, the individual changes in every way imaginable. Alcoholism makes a person feel compelled to drink and if the individual does not drink, it can make them feel physically ill. The cravings to drink alcohol will drive an individual to consume alcohol and as the addiction takes over, a person will not be able to stop drinking through personal means. For those that have become seriously addicted to alcohol, it may be necessary to go through a detoxification program before entering into rehab. To conquer an alcohol problem, it is much better to seek the assistance of an alcoholism treatment program than to try and endure the situation alone.
Another type of addiction a person can develop is to illicit drugs such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, as well as several others. Being addicted to illicit street drugs is a very serious problem facing society today and studies have shown that most people are not able to stop using through their own freewill. When someone uses an illicit drug it is for the "high," and over time, drugs like meth, cocaine and heroin become both physically and psychologically addictive. As an individual continues to use the drug of choice, the body will become tolerant and more needs to be used to obtain a high. Drug addiction changes everything about a person and makes living unbearably miserable, the only way to overcome the problem is by admitting the truth and getting enrolled into a professional treatment center.
Controlled substances are drugs that are controlled under government standards or the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). These types of drugs are controlled and regulated through standards or schedules, because of how dangerous they are. Drugs that fall under the CSA are placed in a certain schedule due to medicinal use, potential for abuse, safety and addictive qualities. There are five schedules of drugs with I, being the most serious with a high potential for abuse and no medicinal use. Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse, have medical uses and severe dependence risk and include morphine, cocaine, methadone phencyclidine (PCP) and methamphetamine. Schedule III drugs have a lower abuse potential and a moderate risk for physical addiction, examples of drugs in this family include hydrocodone, codeine, some barbiturates and anabolic steroids. Schedule IV drugs have a relatively low abuse potential, medical use and a limited risk for dependency, while Schedule V medications have a low potential for abuse and misuse, limited physical dependency and have an acceptable medical use.
No matter whether someone is abusing alcohol, illicit drugs or prescription medications, life always follows a predictable course of events. Nothing positive or healthy happens when someone is engaging in problematic substance abuse, life cannot ever be normal and nothing will hold any meaning except using and drinking. To an alcoholic or drug addicted person, the only thing which matters in life is being able to hide the problem from others and making sure things stay as secretive as possible. Substance abuse has become a dependable and predictable part of life and just thinking about giving up alcohol or the drug of choice is enough to make the addict go into a panic mode. Because there are many types of addiction, a person must seek a multidisciplinary treatment program in order to become clean and sober and learn the ability to stop engaging in substance abuse.
It is thought people can become addicted through a variety of different reasons and it can range from a certain genetic predisposition or may be due to personality characteristics. However, there is evidence to suggest that individuals growing up in homes with an alcoholic or drug addicted parent have a higher chance of becoming an addict themselves. Once a person has become addicted to drugs or alcohol, the only way to beat the addiction is to open up to others and to see the truth of the situation. By seeking treatment for an addiction, a person will go through therapy, counseling, 12-step meetings and other therapeutic options designed to aid in the healing and recovery process.
Because of the different types of addiction, it is possible for someone to be addicted to alcohol alone, or combine alcohol with other drugs or to just abuse drugs alone. With each different type of addiction, a person will go through cravings, tolerance and dependency, either on a physical or psychological level. The deeper and deeper a person delves into drug and alcohol use, the more serious the situation will grow and the more obvious the problems will become to others involved. Even though friends and family members may know deep down something is very wrong, but even when confronting the addict, the person will lie or deny things are bad. Faced with a life of addiction or alcoholism is no way to live life, it robs a person of everything most dear and cherished. Instead of continuing down this path, it is a much better idea to contact a professional treatment center and go through the needed rehabilitation in order to live a healthy, clean and sober life.

I've never hidden that fact that I want to make a sweet sweet baby with the original "The Amityville Horror" and now I'm giddy with delight over the green lighting of "The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes". The movie, which is set for a 2012 release, will focus on a journalist trying to uncover the true story behind the house after the events of the first film. Will it be awful? Mostly likely but F you, I want to see some bleeding walls!
Universal has decided to push the start date of Ron Howard's adaptation of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" after rumors were flying around that they might pass on the 3 movie series all together. Why would they do this? I don't know, I'm not allowed in these meetings. Have you seen my wardrobe? They're not going to let a jackass in dirty jeans and a "Don't Mess With Texas" t-shirt into a big fancy executive meeting.
I'm a cynical asshole, by nature, and because of that it pains me more than anything else in the world to admit the trailer for the "Fright Night" remake actually looks really really good. And I'm not even saying that because Colin Farrell is a dreamy SOB. On a side note. When the hell did we find out this movie was going to be in 3D? I could have sworn two weeks ago we found out the cast. Now it's releasing in August? Where the hell have I been?!
Danielle Harris has become the go to gal for horror movies that aren't going to be released in theaters so here's the trailer for "Shiver", a horror movie she stars in that I'm 99% sure is only going to play in 17 theaters across the country. What the hell do I know though, it's got the guy from "Starship Troopers". Anyway the film focuses on a secretary who fights back after being assaulted by a serial killer. Rae Dawn Chong is in it too... take that however you want.
Sometimes there's a news story that's so awful it just makes you smile. Then it makes you try to figure out what the hell is wrong with you for smiling. Here's a story about an Illinois man who had a house guest who wouldn't leave. So he tossed gasoline on him and lit him on fire. Are you smiling? Yeah you are you sick prick.
And because I get a kick out of making you feel like you need another shower, here's a story about a guy who is being forced to undergo evaluation after he slapped and rubbed the genitals of his pet Chihuahua in the common area of his apartment complex. Are you still smiling? You belong in hell... sicko.
Details on the plot of Rob Zombie's upcoming "The Lords of Salem" have finally been revealed and much to my surprise they have nothing to do with Salem Massachusetts. I kid! The plot revolves around a local DJ who unleashes an unholy curse on the town of Salem that a group of witches cast over 300 years ago. I bet this ruins their tourism also.
Stephen King and John Mellencamp have apparently had a musical in the works since 2006 titled "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" and good news kids, it'll hit Atlanta in just under a year. The play focuses on the rumors around the murder of 3 people in a small town in Mississippi and I know I said it before but I'm not sure you understand, Stephen King and John Mellencamp created this. Let that sink in.
According to a recent post on the official facebook page for "Trick 'r Treat", "Sam will return" which would lead the world to believe that the anthology series will see a sequel in the near future. Either that or they know something about a "Cheers" reunion. Either way I'm excited.
A new TV spot for JJ Abrams' "Super 8" has found it's way online and honestly I still have no idea what the movie is about but I think it's somewhere in between "Maximum Overdrive" and "E.T.". Of course I watched the video with the volume down and really only paid attention for a few seconds. "Bert the Conqueror" was on last night! If you want to know how that was I could give you a detailed run down.
A Wisconsin man called 911 after a couple strippers that promised to come to his hotel room and give him lap dances never showed. Apparently he dropped about $1000 bucks so honestly I think it's BS that the cops didn't do anything.
Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe has signed a bill that bans High School students from wearing clothing that exposes "underwear, buttocks or the breast of a female." Meaning no more droopy pants kids! And get off my damn lawn!
The ghost-tastic flick "The Apparition" has had its release date pushed from 2011 to an unnamed date in 2012. No reason has been released for the push but seeing how it's directed by Todd Lincoln who's previous credits include visual effects on "From Dusk Till Dawn" and stars a bunch of teenage extras from other movies I'm guessing they want to put it up against "Avatar 2" just to F with the man.
People seem to be getting sick of 3D movies and paranormal flicks but how could you fail with a paranormal 3D joint? The answer is you can't. "Paranormal Xperience 3D" revolves around a group of teens (awesome!) trapped in a town being terrorized by an evil doctor. If the twist at the end of this is that the doctor is a ghost then putting the word "paranormal" in the title might of been a bad idea.
Little known fact, they have TV's in New Zealand. I know I was shocked too! Not only that they apparently have their own shows. Like "The Tribe" which is about group of people who have lived through a virus that's killed off most of Earth's population and how they deal with robots and giant locusts. Sounds pretty good already but it's being adapted for the big screen here in the US so we're going to make it even better. You're welcome Kiwi's!
My wife and I have agreed that no matter what sex our seventh child is we will name him or her Shia LaBeouf. That's just how big of fans we are. So we're both pumped to find out that he will star in a new big screen adaptation of Joe Hill's, son of Stephan King, novel "Horns". The basic plot is LaBeouf wakes up after a night of boozing to find he's sprouted horns. I don't get the title.
Some people who come into a large sum of money go nuts and just spend it all. But this guy in Ohio wasn't going to let his big bank robbery score go to his head. No he hopped on the bus and headed home, not even springing for a cab. Of course he was immediately caught but still, his heart was in the right place.
Residents of Bennington Vermont are living in fear after a number of residents have been attacked but one lone gray squirrel. One shoveler was attacked tree times but the little bushy tailed rat and a number of other reports have been filed. What do you have to say about this crap, PETA? That's what I though.
Some new behind the scenes photos for "Battle: Los Angeles" have hit the net and they're full of alien goodness. I haven't seen the movie yet but if all the aliens want is one city then maybe we should just let them have it. The place has lost all its appeal since 2Pac died anyway. Or did he!?
According to director Matt Reeves the story for "Cloverfield 2" hasn't even been discussed and the film may never happen. I know I had trouble getting out of bed today too just knowing this! Let me help though, annoying guy runs around with camera while his friends jump around some the city avoiding giant aliens. Let's light this candle!
The newest name to be tossed around Ron Howard and Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" film is Christian Bale. Of course he's being rumored as their first choice so take that for what it is. My first choice for my bus driver tomorrow is Jackie Gleason but he's been dead for 20 years so it's probably not going to happen.
Director David O. Russell recently dropped knowledge on why he decided to drop out as director of the upcoming big screen version of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Apparently the studio only wanted to put about 25 million into the budget and Russell was hoping for almost double that. When you think about the fact that they spent 75 million to make "Monkeybone" you start to think David might have a point.
When you send a friend request to a man your friend likes, even being family won't save you. Case in point this women from Upstate NY who ran over her cousin not once, but twice after she had the nerve to do just that. If I was him I'd be flattered.
A mother in California has been arrested after her pre-teen kids became sick after eating cookies she had made laced with pot. Apparently no charges are being brought up on the kids for ganging her stash, I'll never understand the legal system.
Good news for those of you who hate your childhood memories! There's a remake of both "Firestarter" and "Maximum Overdrive" in the works. The later I am a bit worried about because I heart it so, the first one though I can't wait to see that song by The Prodigy become popular again. No one else remembers it? Get off my lawn!
Who's excited for "Death Race 2"?! What, only Jon and I? You all disappoint me. Anyway here's some new clips and what the kids call a featurette from the hot new flick that surprisingly will not see a theater release.
Shooting for the upcoming space horror flick "Apollo 18" is currently set to begin on December 20th. Which is interesting seeing how the film has a confirmed release date of March 4th. Now I'm not a mathologist but that sounds like a really short time to make a big time movie that's going to be in theaters. I look forward to the DVD release on April 13th though.
Ron Howard checked in with an update on his big and little screen adaptation of Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" series. Apparently he's both excited and violently ill about the opportunity to turn Mr. King's life work into walking pictures. Alright maybe he didn't say violently ill but I can read between the lines.
A postal worker in Wisconsin was arrested recently after he decided to deliver a woman's mail to her office completely naked in order to cheer her up. Sounds like he wasn't trying hard enough, he should of been naked and holding a cheese plate. ladies love those.
As a dad what can you do when your 17 year old daughter decides to date a 57 year old man? Well if you're like this guy in Germany you can go out and castrate the guy. After that you probably don't have to worry about those two crazy kids going out and having a good time.
Whenever I'm talking to someone who hates horror films, they inevitably ask me "what would you say is a good horror film?" Without fail, I know of one movie that anyone, regardless of how much they hate our little genre of film we hold so dear, will always agree is a great film, is Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining". Based off of one of my favorite Stephen King novels, "The Shining" is one of my absolute favorite films. And it's finally available for Instant Streaming on Netflix.
There are a few horror movies that still get me every time I watch them. Although I am not a huge fan of the overall movie, I can watch the ending of "Carrie" over and over again and I will undoubtedly jump every single freakin time. The final scene in which Sue (Amy Irving) visits Carrie's (Sissy Spacek) grave site was actually shot backwards and then reversed to give the scene a dreamlike quality. The scene was also filmed at night and used artificial lighting to create the daytime effect. So take a look at the final scene from "Carrie" below and tell me, what gets YOU every time?
There's really two camps of people when you talk about Maximum Overdrive: They either love it, or hate it. I happen to LOVE it.
Every Halloween season, I always look forward to AMC Fearfest. Fearfest kicks off on Monday, October 18 and runs through Sunday, October 31. This year's marathon will feature over 60 contemporary and classic horror films as well as interviews with horror directors and actors throughout each night's prime time film. In addition to premiere movies such as "House of Wax" (2005), "Evil Dead II" and "28 Days Later" (just to name a few), Fearfest has some pretty great movies lined up this year.
It goes without saying that "Creepshow" is one of the most popular horror anthologies around. It's definitely one of my go-to movies for the Halloween season. Director George A. Romero and writer Stephen King bring us 5 tales of terror in a tribute to the EC comics of the 1950's. The segments are tied together by short animated sequences surrounding a young boy named Billy (Stephen's son, Joe King) who is punished by his father (Tom Atkins) for reading horror comics. Many familiar faces such as Leslie Nielsen, Ted Danson, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, E.G.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

McKinstry: Westchester Democrats drop one lawsuit against Rob Astorino, four more to go
For anyone keeping score, Democrats on the Westchester Board of Legislators recently dropped one of their lawsuits against Republican County Executive Rob Astorino.
The suit in question involved day care, and Democrats say that after the legislature approved this year's budget – the $1.7 billion plan signed off by seven Republicans and two Democrats with a new 27 percent parental contribution rate -- the suit became irrelevant.
There's still four outstanding legal battles between branches (three are pending and another is on appeal); they include another matter over day care as well as separate suits over capital projects, a bus route, and the makeup of the Board of Acquisition and Contract.
Editorial: Westchester must get over its child-care impasse
| Westchester judge halts child care changes
| Dems sue Astorino again over day care
VIDEO: Advocates make plea to keep child care costs down | Westchester day care costs to increase
The ongoing court battles cost taxpayers $124,000 through November (that reflects the county attorney's 849 hours spent on these cases), according to the Astorino Administration. Those figures don't include the board's expenses.
An underlying theme of these skirmishes has been over authority … which branch has the right to make decisions. Some have already been tossed, others on appeal and others working their way through the courts.
You need a score card to keep tabs – and extra-strength aspirin when listening to the back-and-forth. The way I see it, these court-room dramas stem from an inability of the branches to compromise – or effectively communicate with each other.
Here's a column I wrote in June 2012 about the need to compromise.
Many of the cases have been started by Board of Legislators Chairman Ken Jenkins, a Yonkers Democrat who is seeking the nomination to run against Astorino. Jenkins is squaring off against New Rochelle Noam Bramson and Legis. Bill Ryan of White Plains. We should know the Democratic nominee in the coming months.
A question that looms is whether they will drop any more suits (the board's spokesman, Tom Staudter says no) --- or throw a few more into the mix?
It's hard to know. It is, after all, an election year.

Orchestral jazz > Duke Ellington, the master composer
Although he was very much aware of Redman's and Henderson's work, Duke Ellington took a somewhat different approach. From the start more truly a composer than an arranger, Ellington blended thematic material suggested to him by some of his playersin particular trumpeter Bubber Miley and clarinetist Barney Bigardwith his own compositional frameworks and backgrounds (e.g., East St. Louis Toodle-oo [1926] and Black and Tan Fantasy [1927]). Once ensconced in Harlem's famous Cotton Club as the resident house band (a tenure that lasted three years, until early 1931), Ellington had the opportunity to explore, in some 160 recordings, several categories of compositions: (1) music for the club's jungle-style production numbers and pantomime tableaus, (2) dance numbers for the 16-girl chorus line, (3) dance pieces for the club's patrons (all whiteblacks were allowed only as entertainers), (4) arrangements of the pop tunes or ballads of the day, and (5) most important, independent nonfunctional instrumental compositionsin effect, miniature tone poems for presentation during the shows. The most celebrated of these was Mood Indigo (1930), the first of many pieces with a blueslike character, usually set in slow tempos. In these and in such other song and dance numbers as Sophisticated Lady (1932) and Solitude (1934), Ellington was able not only to exploit the individual talents of his musicians but to extend and vary the forms of jazz. In addition, he expanded upon his already highly developed feeling for instrumental timbres and colours and his extraordinary forward-looking harmonic sense. In early works such as Mystery Song (1931), Delta Serenade (1934), and In a Sentimental Mood (1935), Ellington experimented with never-before-heard brass sonorities (using mutes peculiar to jazz, including the lowly bathroom plunger) and unusual blendings of brass and reeds, as in his grouping of saxophones and Juan Tizol's light valve trombone sound. Ellington's instinctive genius for harmonic invention, using the outer extensions of basic triadic and dominant seventh chords, led him to use bitonality (two keys at once) or polytonality (several keys) at least a decade before anyone else. Striking examples of this aspect of his work are, to name only a few, Eerie Moan (1933), Reminiscing in Tempo (1935), Alabamy Home (1937), and Azure (1937), the last verging on atonality at several points.
All these Ellington innovations, nuanced and fulfilled as they were by the extraordinary cast of characters and individual soloists in his orchestra, served to create a more personal expression and emotional depth than had previously been achieved in jazz. The heterogeneity of personalities and talents in Ellington's orchestra virtually guaranteed that even the least of their efforts would be superior to the best of most other orchestras of the time. Motored by a remarkably cohesive rhythm section, each instrumental choir boasted dramatically different, individualistic personalities (e.g., Arthur Whetsol and Cootie Williams on trumpet; Rex Stewart on cornet; Lawrence Brown, Joe Tricky Sam Nanton, and Juan Tizol on trombone; and Johnny Hodges, Barney Bigard, Otto Hardwick, and Harry Carney on reeds) who nevertheless whenever needed would blend instantly into perfect ensembles.

PARIS, Ky. (AP) — Fire has destroyed a shop near Paris where specialty Kentucky auto license plates were manufactured.
According to the Lexington Herald-Leader (http://bit.ly/Z2vSCu ), CWF Products in Bourbon County made plates for the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville, among others.
Owner Chuck Frysinger was in the building and said a small blaze began at an engraving machine. Before he could get a water hose, the flames reached an exhaust pipe, which Frysinger said acted like a blowtorch, igniting the building.
Frysinger said he plans to rebuild as soon as possible.
Five fire departments fought the flames. There were no injuries.

In this three part series of blogs we're going to be looking at the various elements you need to consider when buying a server. Starting with processors and RAM, then moving on to space and hard drive size and finally, how to future proof your server.
So what is a server, and why do you need one?
Well you might not. If you're a small business with a handful of users, it's not entirely necessary (depending on your line of business), but once you get to about five users and you need to work together, sharing data on a network, then you'll need a server.
A server is a piece of hardware that a group of computers (or network) connects to and is used to store and process data, run software and act as a central location for users to share and manage company data.
Of course, you might opt for a cloud computing approach to running your business, in which case you might not need any servers, because all of your data is hosted on the servers of your cloud provider. Or you might decide to keep a small server/NAS (network attached storage device) on-premise to act as a file server.
What do you need to look for when it comes to processor and memory?
The better the processor, the more tasks your server can handle at any one time. So, say you ask your server to go and get x number of files out of the filing cabinet, it is the processors job to handle that request – thinking about where the files are located, finding them and bringing them to you. So the better the processor, the more of these requests your server can handle at any one time. It depends on your needs – number of active users, amount of data etc. A good Intel Core or AMD multi-core processor – 2.4Ghz or higher – should be perfectly adequate for most small business needs, or you could look at server grade processors such as the Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron if your needs are greater.
RAM, which stands for Random Access Memory, is your server's memory. And the more it has, the better the performance. 4GB RAM should be your absolute minimum, and you need to make sure that you get the processor-RAM balance right. High-speed memory in a machine with a slow processor will probably result in burn out, as would low-speed RAM with a high-level processor. Your memory and your processor need to be synchronised in order to work properly. And remember, server RAM is different to PC RAM. Server RAM is selected during the manufacturing process for higher quality and greater reliability. This is because your server will be powering the software that runs your business, not to mention holding the business critical data that enables you to run your company. You don't want it to fail. It also needs to be capable of running 24 hours a day, so server RAM is more expensive than desktop RAM, but with very good reason.
Look out for the next post in this series which will look at space and hard drive size, and if you have any questions about how to choose your server in the meantime, get in touch or check out our hardware services here.

Autumn Aurora 2.1Sep 30, 2014 Autumn Aurora 2 Full Version 40 comments
Autumn Aurora 2 it's modification made by small group from Poland which brings the autumnal atmosphere to the Zone and totally overhauls the graphics...
In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.
It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s.
About STALKER: Twilight K.E.T. 2.ZERO with 3 comments by ketxxx on Aug 25th, 2014
It's about that time again for another fresh news update for TK, I think theres some new features veteran players especially will like so lets start from the top.
- Further optimised TK memory resources, XR3DA generally doesn't get above 2.2GB - 2.3GB memory usage now and on the texture front I haven't as of yet seen more than 1.5GB video memory in use so overall on both system and video memory counts thats a reduction compared to the RC TK build of anywhere between 300MB - 500MB+.
- Added new weapons, PP-19 Bizon, T134 Minigun, and the Mac10. As usual whenever I add new weapons various NPCs in the game will also carry these weapons. Its highly unlikely I will add any more weapons as I've patched over the few areas I thought were lacking and now there just isn't any further game world to add more weapons. The game itself just isn't big enough nor are there enough enemy NPC variations to introduce more weapons.
- BIG CHANGE! Simple, but significant. Ever wondered to yourself why is it you can strap grenades to your belt but not smaller type weapons? (as is done by some special forces units) well now you can! Instead of only being able to strap RGD5 or F1 grenades to "slot 3" of your inventory you now also have the versatility and choice to strap the Mac10, Bizon, or MP7 (the 3 smallest submachine guns basically) to the same slot as grenades. You can freely carry these submachine guns and grenades at the same time, the system will automatically equip whatever you picked first to fill the slot. Eg; you pick out some grenades they go to "slot 3" as usual, but if you pick out the Mac10, Bizon or MP7 first that weapon will populate the slot. If you want to change the default weapon of "slot 3" just drop them and pick the weapon up you want to be default in "slot 3" first. Oh and of course I've made the necessary script changes so these weapons can be repaired.
- Added more clothing options for novice stalkers to hopefully remedy the "twins" syndrome. I did exactly the same thing I did for the bandits. Variety FTW! :D
- Instead of being lazy and just adding weapon descriptions in their corresponding files I added them to the XML file instead. Just a cosmetic change really so you don't see quotation marks in-game for weapon names and descriptions.
- Fiddled with AI a bit more, smarter, faster... perhaps too smart...
Rest assured, everything is being gone through with a very fine toothed comb to provide the ultimate SoC experience. As I've said before, TK does not aim to be like any of the old alpha or beta builds, nor does it try to copy any other SoC mod. What TK does do though is enhance everything the retail version of SoC had to the extreme.

We all knew this would happen to Russia, one of the best game I have ever seen would take place there.
The games engine sounds great, I cant wait to see some mods on it but the game has to come out first..
Its pretty fun to mess with the engine, pretty simple.
Oh there's alot more than that that i can do. But luckly i have the brains that figured it out. ;)
well no one can map yet untill the game is released...
Well, that's because some of us know more about the engine than those whom wait for the game itself. Otherwise there'd be no point in doing so if we didn't. I only speak for myself, but for others i do not know.
i dont get how ppl r alredy makin mods 4 stalker wen its not evn out
stalker is pushed back once again. this time no release date at all.
I'm particularly interested in the open ended format of the game.
