Etimologi[sunting | sunting sumber]
Negeri ini dinamakan dengan mulianya Ratu Victoria,[4] yang pada 6 Jun 1859 menandatangani suatu pengisytiharan mengasingkan negeri dari New South Wales. Pada waktu itu, Victoria telah menjadi sebuah raja masyhur yang umum, dan dia lebih suka sebuah nama eponymous untuk tanah jajahan baru ke atas Cooksland, yang telah dicadangkan oleh menteri Presbyterian tempatan yang berpengaruh John Dunmore Lang dengan mulianya pengendali Inggeris James Cook.[5][6] Negeri Australia selatan Victoria juga dinamakan selepas beliau.
Sejarah[sunting | sunting sumber]
Sejarah Queensland menjangkau beribu-ribu tahun, merangkumi kehadiran indigenous yang berpanjangan, dan juga masa-masa berperistiwa selepas penubuhan Eropah. Dianggarkan telah diduduki oleh Orang Asli Australia lebih kurang 40,000 tahun yang lalu, rantau Australia barat laut telah dijelajahi oleh ahli pelayaran Belanda, Portugis dan Perancis sebelum ditemu oleh Kapten James Cook pada 1770. Jun 2009 menandakan ulang tahun 150 dari penciptaannya sebagai sebuah tanah jajahan terasing dari New South Wales.[7] Negeri ini telah menyaksikan keadaan peperangan perbatasan di antara peneroka Eropah dan penduduk Asli, dan juga penggajian buruh murah Kanaka disumber dari South Pacific.
Geografi[sunting | sunting sumber]
Queensland disempadan di utara oleh Selat Torres dengan Pulau Boigu di tepi pantai New Guinea mewakili lampau utara keseluruhannya wilayah. The triangular Semenanjung Cape York, which points toward New Guinea is the northernmost part of the state's mainland. The western side of the peninsula is washed by the Gulf of Carpentaria, while its eastern side borders the Coral Sea, an arm of the Pacific Ocean. The eastern border is the Pacific Ocean. To the west, Queensland is bordered by the Northern Territory, at the 138°E longitude, and to the south-west by the north-eastern corner of South Australia.
In the south, there are three sections that comprise its border: the watershed from Point Danger to the Dumaresq River; the river section involving the Dumaresq, the MacIntyre and the Barwon; and 29°S latitude (including some minor historical encroachments below the 29th parallel) over to the South Australian border.
The state capital is Brisbane, located on the coast 100 kilometres (60 mi) by road north of the New South Wales border. The fifth-largest city by area in the world, Mount Isa, is located in Queensland. The city area is in excess of 40,000 square kilometres (15,400 sq mi). The state is divided into several officially recognised regions. Other smaller geographical regions of note include the Atherton Tablelands, the Granite Belt, and the Channel Country in the far south-west.
Queensland has many places of natural beauty, including: the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast having some of the state's most popular beaches; the Bunya Mountains and the Great Dividing Range with numerous lookouts, waterfalls and picnic areas; Carnarvon Gorge; Whitsunday Islands and Hinchinbrook Island.
The state contains five World Heritage listed preservation areas: Australian Fossil Mammal Sites at Riversleigh in the Gulf Country, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, Fraser Island, Great Barrier Reef, and the Wet Tropics of Queensland.
Cuaca[sunting | sunting sumber]
Because of its size, there is significant variation in climate across the state. Low rainfall and hot summers are typical for the inland west, a monsoonal 'wet' season in the far north, and warm temperate conditions along the coastal strip. Inland and in southern ranges low minimum temperatures are experienced. The climate of the coastal strip is influenced by warm ocean waters, keeping the region free from extremes of temperature and providing moisture for rainfall.[8]
There are five predominate climatic zones in Queensland[9], based on temperature and humidity:
- hot humid summer (far north and coastal)
- warm humid summer (coastal elevated hinterlands and coastal south-east)
- hot dry summer, mild winter (central west)
- hot dry summer, cold winter (southern west)
- temperate - warm summer, cold winter (inland south-east, e.g. Granite Belt)
However, most of the Queensland populace experience two weather seasons: a "winter" period of rather warm temperatures and minimal rainfall and a sultry summer period of hot, sticky temperatures and higher levels of rainfall.
The annual mean statistics[10] for some Queensland centres is shown below:
|Min. Temp
|Max. Temp
|No. Clear days
|1061mm (42in)
|1667mm (66in)
|2223mm (88in)
|1144mm (45in)
The highest maximum temperature observed in the state is 49.5 °C (121 °F) at Birdsville on 24 December 1972 (The temperature of 53.1 °C (128 °F) at Cloncurry on 16 January 1889 is not considered official; the figure quoted from Birdsville is the next highest, so that record is considered as being official).
The lowest minimum temperature is −10.6 °C (13 °F) at Stanthorpe on 23 June 1961 and at The Hermitage on 12 July 1965. [11]

Pada 9 Disember 2005, the population of Queensland officially reached 4 million. Queensland is the fastest growing state in Australia, with over 1,500 people moving to the state per week; 1,000 in the southern part of the state alone. Predictions show that Queensland will become Australia's second most populous state by the late 2020s. [12] According to Queensland's Office of Economic and Statistical Research the estimated population of the state at the end of 2007 was 4,228,290 which is almost 20% of Australia's total.
In 2007, Queensland recorded a TFR of 2.1, the highest since 1977.[13]
Ekonomi[sunting | sunting sumber]
Queensland's economy has enjoyed a boom in the tourism and mining industries over the past 20 years. A sizeable influx of interstate and overseas migrants, large amounts of federal government investment, increased mining of vast mineral deposits and an expanding aerospace sector have contributed to the state's economic growth. The 2008-09 saw the expansion slow to just 0.8% the state's worst performance in 18 years.[14]
Between 1992 and 2002, the growth in the Gross State Product of Queensland outperformed that of all the other states and territories. In that period Queensland's GSP grew 5.0% each year, while growth in Australia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose on average 3.9% each year. Queensland's contribution to the Australian GDP increased by 10.4% in that period, one of only three states to do so.[15]
In 2003 Brisbane had the lowest cost of living of all Australia's capital cities. In late 2005 Brisbane was the third most expensive capital for housing after Sydney and Canberra and just ahead of Melbourne by $15,000. By 2008, Queensland had the least affordable housing of any state or territory.[16]
Primary industries include: bananas, pineapples, peanuts, a wide variety of other tropical and temperate fruit and vegetables, grain crops, wineries, cattle raising, cotton, sugar cane, wool and a mining industry including bauxite, coal, silver, lead, zinc, gold, and copper. Secondary industries are mostly further processing of the above-mentioned primary produce. For example, bauxite is shipped by sea from Weipa and converted to alumina at Gladstone.[17] There is also copper refining and the refining of sugar cane to sugar at a number of mills along the eastern coastline. Major tertiary industries are the retail trade and tourism.
Pelancongan[sunting | sunting sumber]
Tourism is Queensland's leading tertiary industry with millions of interstate and overseas visitors flocking to the Sunshine State each year. The industry generates $4.0 billion annually, accounting for 4.5% of Queensland's GSP.[18] Queensland is a state of many landscapes that range from sunny tropical coastal areas, lush rainforests to dry inland areas.
The main tourist destinations of Queensland include, Brisbane, Far North Queensland including Cairns, Port Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest, Gold Coast, the Great Barrier Reef, Hervey Bay and nearby Fraser Island, North Queensland including Townsville and Magnetic Island, North Stradbroke Island and South Stradbroke Island, the Sunshine Coast and the Whitsundays known for Airlie Beach, Whitehaven Beach, Hamilton Island and Daydream Island.
The Gold Coast of Queensland is also sometimes referred to as "Australia's Theme Park Capital", with five major amusement parks. These are Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World, Wet 'n' Wild and WhiteWater World.
There are also wildlife parks in Queensland, including:
- Gold Coast
- Sunshine Coast
- UnderWater World at Mooloolaba
- Australia Zoo near Beerwah/Glass House Mountains, home of Steve Irwin until his death in 2006.
- Brisbane
- North of Brisbane
- Alma Park Zoo at Dakabin
- Kumbartcho Wildlife Sanctuary (originally Bunya Park Wildlife Sanctuary)
Accommodation in Queensland caters for nearly 22% of the total expenditure, followed by restaurants/meals (15%), airfares (11%), fuel (11%) and shopping/gifts (11%).[19]

The Queensland Parliament or the Legislative Assembly, is unicameral. It is the only Australian state with a unicameral legislature. A bicameral system existed until 1922, when the Legislative Council was abolished by the Labor members' "suicide squad," so called because they were appointed for the purpose of voting to abolish their own offices.
The judicial system of Queensland consists of the Supreme Court and the District Court, established by the Queensland Constitution, and various other courts and tribunals established by ordinary Acts of the Queensland Parliament.

Edain of the First Age — Heraldry
(via ladyofrohan-deactivated20130624)
Now men awoke and listened to Felagund as he harped and sang, and each thought that he was in some fair dream, until he saw that his fellows were awake also beside him; but they did not speak or stir while Felagund still played, because of the beauty of the music and the wonder of the song. Wisdom was in the words of the Elven-king, and the hearts grew wiser that hearkened to him; for the things of which he sang, of the making of Arda, and the bliss of Aman beyond the shadows of the Sea, came as clear visions before their eyes, and his Elvish speech was interpreted in each mind according to its measure.

West Virginia's three-time national champion Greg Jones has been named to InterMat's Top 10 College Wrestlers of the 2000s. Jones, who became one of only 20 wrestlers in NCAA history to win NCAA titles at two different weight classes, checks in at No. 3 on the listing.
During his Mountaineer career, Jones won a title as a freshman at 174 pounds and two more as a junior and a senior at 184 pounds. He is also a four-time Eastern Wrestling League champion and WVU's all-time leader in wins with an impressive 126-4 record.
Ranking first is Iowa State's Cael Sanderson who became the first-ever, four-time undefeated NCAA Division I champion. Listed second was three-time NCAA champion Stephen Abas of Fresno State.
"Jones is simply one of the greatest college wrestlers of all-time," states T.R. Foley, InterMat Senior Writer. "He won 97 percent of his matches and won an NCAA title in each of his three NCAA finals appearances.
"His style wasn't always punishing, but by executing with perfect technique and explosive power he often turned what might have been contestable matches into blowouts."
It's been more than seven years since Jones captured his third national title, yet the current WVU assistant coach fondly remembers his time in a WVU singlet.
"It's very humbling to be listed alongside so many great competitors and athletes," says Jones. "I was fortunate enough to pick a school like WVU that allowed me to pursue my goals, as well as team goals, in a true pursuit of excellence."
Jones is the only Mountaineer to be named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler, and closed out his career with an impressive 51-match unbeaten streak.
"His junior and senior efforts did enough to outshine that (sophomore season) lapse," states Foley. "In those last two seasons, Jones' dominance became even more evident with a variety of attacks on his feet and a re-upped top game that transitioned into more falls for the Mountaineers."
Jones' supremacy on the mat firmly planted the Slickville, Pa., native as one of the NCAA's all-time best wrestlers.
"Through his competitive career, Greg achieved a lot that many wrestlers don't even come close to," says WVU head coach Craig Turnbull. "This recognition is very deserving as Greg will go down as one of the all-time greats."
A complete listing of the Best of 2000s can be found at intermatwrestle.com.

Fort Lewis College recognizes outstanding academic achievement through merit scholarships. These scholarships are applied to tuition. You may receive only one four-year merit scholarship to cover tuition costs and you must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours each semester to receive merit-based awards. Renewal information for each scholarship differs, so view the terms and conditions for each scholarship.
To determine your CCHE index you must add together your index "points" (the yellow bars). The first set of points is determined by your standardized test scores (dark blue bar on the left) using your composite ACT score or the combined total of your reading and math SAT subscores. Please note that subscores must come from a single test date – we cannot "superscore" ACT/SAT test scores. The second set of points is determined by your overall cumulative GPA across the top of the chart. PLEASE NOTE: your index for merit scholarships is determined AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION and will not be reconsidered with new test scores or GPA submitted after admission.
Early Action and Regular Decision options for the Fall Semester allow you to choose the deadline that works best for you. However, FLC encourages you to use our Early Action date. Note: The admission criteria and application review procedures are the same for both application options. Spring Semester applicants are only eligible for the Regular Decision scholarship levels. There are no Early Action scholarship awards for the Spring Semester.
† A completed application refers to an application that is not missing any of the required application materials listed at the top of this page.
By applying to Fort Lewis College, all New Mexico applicants will be considered for this scholarship.
Please Note: The New Mexico Reciprocal Scholarship will replace any previously offered admission merit scholarship.
Fort Lewis College offers many other scholarships. They're designed to reward students who demonstrate academic achievement, strong academic promise, leadership ability and a strong commitment to community service or co-curricular activities.

According to the California Academic Senate, student learning outcomes "are the specific measurable goals and results that are expected subsequent to a learning experience. These outcomes may involve knowledge (cognitive), skills (behavioral), or attitudes (affective) that provide evidence that learning has occurred as a result of a specified course, program activity, or process. A Student Learning Outcome refers to an overarching goal for a course, program, degree or certificate, Student Services area or the library, one that asks students to synthesize many discreet skills using higher level thinking skills and to produce something that asks them to apply what they've learned. SLOs usually encompass a gathering together of smaller discrete objectives through analysis, evaluation and synthesis into more sophisticated skills and abilities. (California Academic Senate, Draft SLO Terminology Glossary)
As recently defined by accreditation expectations, "In an ideal situation, intended student learning outcomes should be the foundation upon which a course is developed. Faculty first define the learning outcomes they expect successful students to achieve and demonstrate, and then from those intended outcomes, design the course. Pedagogy, learning environment, and learning support materials all follow from intended SLOs.

Blaine gears up for annual holiday festivities
Published on Wed, Jun 26, 2013
Read More
Blaine is once again hosting its Old-Fashioned Fourth of July celebration and inviting thousands of residents and visitors to come and experience the festivities "Where America Begins."
Blaine will kick off its 12th annual celebration on July 3 with an outdoor concert (see page 3 for details), and then continue the celebration on July 4 with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m., a parade at noon and a show and shine car show with more than 200 classic vehicles in attendance from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"We're expecting a good crowd this year," said Blaine police chief Mike Haslip.
A street fair will keep folks busy throughout the day at this family-friendly event and will culminate with a fireworks show over the bay at dusk.
"It's one of the biggest shows in the region," said Carroll Solomon, Blaine Chamber secretary. "We always draw a big crowd."
There is still time to be in the parade, and no need to pre-register before the event. Parade staging will be on a first-come, first-served basis and will begin at 9 a.m. Judging will begin at 11 a.m.
Organizers for the event recommend that those who wish to join the parade download a registration form from
and bring it with them to the staging area.
For more information, contact Debbie Harger at 360/543-9982 or Solomon at 360/332-4544 or visit blainechamber.com for a full schedule of events.

Blend: 88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, plums, cassis, earth, pepper and vanilla are

earth and chocolate. A well balanced wine with good structure, full round flavors

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard...Read More About Napa Valley

Norwegian Woods by Ole C. Salomonsen on Flickr.
Shot this on sept 27/28th.
Amazing conditions currently from the flow from the sun. Barely time to be home.
Just have to charge the batteries and head out again!
I crawled out on a narrow slippery rock to be able to shoot this. Low standpoint, as low as my tripod allwoed me.
The river was very very calm, I could look straight through the surface to the bottom when the lights lit it up in the complete darkness.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II + Nikon 14-24G 2.8 @ f/2.8, ISO 3200.
Slightly underexposed so some noise was present, had to use som noise reduction. But overall satisfied with this location and composition.

A jungle gym for children and adults alike, Régions d'être celebrates the pluralist and lateral approach to identity found across Slavs and Tatars' work. Literally "a region of being," Régions d'être embeds a cheerful complexity to the otherwise innocuous medium of playground architecture. The work goes to the very origins of the artists' practice: by choosing to lodge themselves between an area east of the former Berlin Wall and west of the Great Wall of China.

This kit is very complete with many useful accessories. However, it started to leak hydraulic fluid during the second use. I was spreading a frame of mild steel for ornamental iron work, and it leaked fluid, which made a mess, and needs to be cleaned before I can apply paint. It is going back for an exchange or refund.

Versatile hydraulic Kit
By Mikey
from Vanvouver, BC
About Me Home Handyman
I bought this tool to help move a 3000 pound milling machine into place. This tools enables a single person to accomplish the work of two people. My only regret is that I did not buy one of these portable hydraulic units years ago. The threads on the hydraulic ram were very cleanly cut which made installation of the attachments quick and easy. This 10 ton unit is fairly heavy so the mobile case with wheels is a welcome feature.

would like to see tubing expanders
By attention4detail
from Idaho
It would be a great addition to the accessories already supplied to have tubing expanders allowing to make the ends of conduit expand so as to slide another conduit into the end of the expanded end. Would be great to be able to make our own "tent" frame and just slide the pieces together.

I was very
By Harborific
from PA
About Me Weekend Warrior
My old man had a porta power from the 70's that has seen better days. After giving up on some leaky seals, I decided to check out the unit from HF. The pump and accessory design are pretty much identical... minus the made in C h i n a print on the box. The HF package actually had a few more pieces with the set. It is a heavy unit, but comes in a molded plastic carrying case with rolling wheels. I used it to push out some twisted metal on one of my demolition derby cars, and it performed just as well, if not better than our old unit. Time will tell how it holds up, but so far I am very satisfied. I picked it up using a 25% of c o u p o n, so I got it for a little over $130. I recommend you do the same.
Don't plan on the storage box lasting
By Cash
from Elizabeth, Colorado
About Me Professional
Unit arrived with the box looking like giant trolls used it for a football. I stripped the cardboard off to find the plastic storage box was broken. However, the box didn't die in vein. All the pieces, though scattered a bit, were accounted for and in fine shape. Lucky for myself and HF, I wasn't planning on using the box anyways as I don't go mobile. If you plan to take it on the road, split the parts into a couple of better built boxes, as this kit weighs a ton. Harbor has always been good to me and I will let this slide.On the kit itself, I've known many other people who've owned the 4 ton unit and have always been pleased. The only complaint they have had is that they didn't get the 10 ton. So I did, tee hee hee. Everything fits well and operates perfectly out of the box. I won't put a load on it for a couple of weeks yet, but I believe it will serve it's purpose flawlessly! Can't be beat for the price.

About Me Mechanic
I work in a heavy duty truck shop and we use this for spreading frame rails and repositioning drive axles when replacing torque rods and or pushing air springs back into place if they are kicked out and this tool works perfectly for both jobs. I have not used any other brands so I can not compare to those but it works really well and makes torque rods any easy and quick job. The tool is well built and so are all the accessories that come with it. I have no problem spending money on tools when necessary and I don't have a problem not and this is one of those chances to save a few $$$ and still get the job done.

Soft steel ram
By Gearmoe
from Bremerton, WA
Ram is soft and will bend. Keep straight under push. Use light pressure if using offset feet. I repaired with a press but the ram is soft and distorted a bit. Still a good value but not for extreame use.

My son, daughter and I, had a great time at the Sunflower Stop. The Braii on Saturday evening was great. It was the freindliest place we stayed at during our Africa trip. I wish we could have stayed in Capetown longer.

A good place to stay for backpackers and overlanders - perhaps less so for us as more mature travellers seeking peace & quiet. Staff great with good advice, help and support. Location a little distant from main attractions but C'est la vie. Need to rethink ensuite room we booked - far too close to reception and bar and very noisy at night and early morning when groups and overlanders depart - needs to be in better location given extra cost. That said a good stay.

From the outside, it would seem New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's announcement Tuesday signaled a massive shift in his stand against medical marijuana. But for those familiar with this subject, it doesn't.
You might have walked by Bev McClain without ever knowing she's dying. Breast cancer has spread to her brain, nodes, and other parts of her body. Doctors speak not of a cure when it comes to Bev, but quality of life, what remains if it. She says her cancer has metastasized and she is living on borrowed time.
Cuomo announced an agreement between the state and GW Pharmaceuticals, a British company, to hold clinical trials for marijuana-based medication for children who have seizures, saying that "no child should be forced to live with the heartbreaking effects of medication-resistant epilepsy."
Meanwhile, the Compassionate Care Act, a wider medical marijuana bill, is making its way through the state Senate, leaving Bev to say Cuomo's announcement is for show.
Medical marijuana is now legal in 22 states, including New Jersey and some New England states. It is used to treat those with serious illnesses including multiple sclerosis and HIV.
Advocates hope Cuomo will eventually weigh in.

The water slide were nice, and flowed smoothly. The person we had in charge of our room was great. The spa was nice, until they shut down the the Thalasso pool (that they rant and rave about, it was closed the last sea day for inspection). Room was nice, small but nice.
Great for a first cruise because you have nothing to compare it to but if you have been on RCCL (Royal Caribbean) Don't waste your time or money, save up a little more and go on RCCL. I have never been on Norwegian but only heard good things (we are going to explore that cruiseline next).

Fire crews said the fire destroyed the garage but they managed to keep it from jumping to a nearby home. The home, however, did receive extensive smoke damage.
No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire has not been released.

Assistant Professor of Sociology and of Women's and Gender Studies
Ph.D. University of Michigan
Areas of Specialization:
Email: email@example.com
In my research I investigate circulating discourses about sexuality, as reflected in both culture and the law, and the consequences of those discourses for people's identities and family relationships.
One strand of my research investigates the relationships between culture, identity, and family relationships. Works pertaining to this strand address the following questions: What are the cultural understandings of sexuality that exist currently in the United States? How do individuals utilize, negotiate, or disrupt existing cultural understandings of sexuality? I bring feminist and poststructural theoretical perspectives to these questions.
Projects in this area include an analysis of the sexual identities of rural gays and lesbians. Motivated by research that points to the increasing geographical diversity of gays and lesbians - in contrast to cultural narratives that link gay and lesbian sexualities to urban spaces - this project demonstrates how rural contexts shape the way that people construct gay and lesbian identities. Other analyses of the project examine how gender, class and race matter for the way people make sense of geography and for the experiences of sexual minorities in rural areas.
The second strand of my research investigates law as a central site where ideas about sexuality are constructed and contested. In this research, I ask: How do people make sense of their identities and family relationships through the law? How do people make sense of others' rights claims? I bring a legal consciousness theoretical perspective to bear on these questions.
Projects in this area include an analysis of how heterosexual allies who support same-sex marriage reconcile conflicting understandings about how gay marriage should become legal.
Currently, I am working on three projects that pertain to my interest in how cultural and legal contexts matter for sexual minorities' family relationships.
The first assesses how stereotypes about bisexuality impact the coming out process for bisexuals in families. The second analyzes how heteronormative cultural expectations about parenthood shape the fertility intentions and experiences of lesbian women.
My final project focuses on same-sex couples raising children and asks two questions: first, how do gay and lesbian parents make decisions about second-parent adoption or creating legal ties to non-biological children? and second, how do parents navigate the disjuncture between their social status ('parent') and legal status ('non-parent') in everyday interactions?
My work has appeared in Gender & Society, Journal of Family Issues, Sexuality Research and Social Policy, and Qualitative Sociology.

Book five of Her Royal Spyness Series. I have both good and bad opinions on this book. On one hand, I loved everything about most of the book-the charecters, the mystery setup, the twists. On the other hand, the ending is lacking in a proper conclusion, leaving my with hundreds of questions. I like this series and I recommend it, but it could have been so much better.

There already is point matching. And you can start earning honor in your teens if I recall correctly (I never PvPed in my early seasons). With AV at level 51? you can farm honor there and you should have more than enough points for some season 1 gear along with some Vindicator's gear.
On top of that, skill also counts a lot in battlegrounds. It's nice to have epic S3 gear, but you also need skill to get a good rating. Also, you can throw a season away if you want - just join 2v2, 3v3 & 5v5 teams, spend a season learning the tricks of the trade, earning points every week and when the new season starts, you should have enough points to buy new gear and voila! you're a top-geared player. With the new season, you should get a new personal rating and with your new gear, you can work your way up to the best gear in the PvP game.
Sure you're at a disadvantage when you first hit 70, but within a season, that disadvantage should disappear.

About a week before season 5 ended Showtime started promoting season 6 of
"Dexter" but on October 6th we finally get some new action. In preparation of this event the Show people have released a brand spanking new promo clip and I'm not going to lie Mos Def and Colin Hanks have my sexy parts all a buzz with excitement. Not in a weird way. A completely natural way. Get your mind out of the gutter.
"Warm Bodies" is a book by Mr. Isaac Marion about a zombie in love with a living girl and it looks like good old John Malkovich has signed on to a play the role of the bad guy in the big screen adaptation. I've never read the book so that's all I got. Please note your bill does not include tip.
Oh you go to hell Hollywood. You go to hell and die! It looks like there's some rumblings in the valley that the next installment of the "Friday the 13th" series is being reworked to use found footage. Nothing's been confirmed yet and a script hasn't been sold so let's all hold hands and pray this doesn't happen. Why yes I do use moisturizer. Thank you for noticing.
I don't think anyone knows what to make of "The Thing" prequel yet but if the new clip that was just released is any indication it looks like the flick will be loaded with crappy jump scares. Well alright maybe some people know what to make of it. The rest of us are still trying to figure out how to watch a video on this stupid iPad. It's like a really expensive coaster.
Man it's been a while since we've seen a good "the devil made me do it" story and what better way to get back into the swing of things than with a guy who claims he attacked a cop with a spatula for that very reason. It really feels like all is right in the world again. Do you think they'll bring back "Deadwood" now?
And here's a man in Massachusetts who stabbed a kid with a pair of chopsticks.... yes he's Asian... you racist pricks.
Fun fact about Colin Hanks, my wife would leave me for him without giving it a second thought. I know, it hurts me to think about it too. So here's the first trailer for "Lucky" in which Hanks plays a serial killer who strikes it big by winning the lottery. While it looks good I'm not sure how I can watch it with my better half while I know she'd rather be sitting on the couch with him watching a movie about me. Or just sitting on the couch with him. Point is Hanks is a home wrecker.
I'm still not sure this is real but it looks like there may in fact me a "Killer Klowns From Outer Space" sequel in the works. The movie, currently being called "Return of the Killer Klowns From Outer Space" will of course be in 3D and feature much of the original cast from the 1988 classic. If you tell me this is getting a wide release then I know it's bullshit. And I'll also laugh because you said "release".
The U.K. alien invasion comedy "Attack the Block" will finally make its way across the pond on July 29th and even be available in selected theaters. I hope they put subtitles into the movie. Or at the very least CGI in coffee over all the tea that i assume is being drunk in the movie.
If you watched "Laid to rest" for 15 minutes before turning it off like I did then you'll be completely indifferent to the first trailer for "ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2". The sequel which will hit DVD and Blu-Ray on September 20th follows the the happenings of the apprentice of our original slasher on his exciting birthing into the world of murder. I make it sound pretty hot, don't I?
Douglas Brian Irvin Jr. who apparently had a number of bit parts in films including "The Hangover" has been arrested for impersonating a cop and forcing women to have sex with him under the threat of going to jail. It's got to be a bad point in an actors career when they realize they have a better chance of getting a girl by pretending to be a cop rather then talking about the movies you've been in.
And here's a heartwarming story about some college kids in New Zealand who etched a giant penis into their colleges lawn two years ago and have now discovered it was actually picked up on Google earth. Dream big kids, dream so freakin big that Google earth captures your giant dream penis.
"Let Me In" Wunder-Director Matt Reeves has signed on to tackle the Frankenstein flick "This Dark Endeavor" based on the book with the same name. The film is just the latest in a long line of Frankenstein based films to be announced which means 2012 could very much be the year of the reanimated dead. Neck bolts are going to be soooo hot, I can just feel it.
The latest name to be added to the cast of "Dexter" season 6 is none other than Edward James Olmos. Colin Hanks and Mos Def have already been signed on and I can only assume that the addition of Olmos means that Dexter will be moving to a rough inner city and Olmos will play a teacher who shows him the powers of math. That's not racist, he did it in "Stand and Deliver".
So many people have been added to the cast of "Hunger Games" that I have officially forgotten what the movie is even about and now that Lenny Kravitz is on board I just want to punch it right in the face. I'm kidding, it's about two areas that send children to battle each other. I'm not kidding about the punching in the face though, Lenny Kravitz is a prick.
If you're like me then you spend most of your time as a bachelor paying strange women to break into your home, tie you up and torture you for two hours. Well good news fellow deviants, the movie "Kidnapped" is everything you've dreamt of and more and there's a new trailer out for the film to prove it. Of course I don't believe there's any sort of safe word involved in this, so that could get sketchy.
A North Carolina man is under arrest after he walked into his local Salvation Army, took off his pants and sat down on a couch with all his goodness hanging out for the world to see. Of course the obvious question here is how much is the couch discounted now that it's all covered in creepy old man juices.
Must be open season for showing your genitals in North Carolina because here's another guy who was so pissed off that his local Bojangles ran out of fried chicken that he decided to whip his bits out and show the woman working at the drive-thru window. I have no idea how that solves the chicken problem but I like his enthusiasm.
Charlie Hunnam, who you might know from "Sons of Anarchy" AKA the only show still keeping me a man, has signed on to Guillermo del Toro's "Pacific Rim". The movie will be set in a future where giant monsters threaten to destroy the earth. Hunnam will most likely play some dreamy hunk who saves the day and I will most likely have to turn to my wife every time he's on screen and ask her what the hell she's looking at.
Speaking of men my wife would leave me for, Colin Hanks had signed on to the cast of season 6 of "Dexter". No word on what sort of role Hanks will play in the upcoming season that airs in October but if I'm a betting man I'd say he'll be the ying to Dexter's yang. No I don't understand what that means either.
Absolutely no one is excited about "Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation" but yet it's still being made and now there's trailers to prove it. Wait did you say you wanted to see Sarah Palin impersonations 3 years after they were relevant? No?! Well you're getting them anyway. God bless America.
The latest director's name to be tossed into the "Leatherface 3D" hat is John Luessenhop and from his IMDB page I can confirm he owns at least one awesome suit. The film will pick up directly where the original remake of the original (confused?) left off and then will jump ahead 35 years. That may or may not put them in the future. I'm awful with numbers.
A Tennessee women is under arrest after leaving her 8 year old son home alone. In her defense she did leave a movie on for the little bugger. Her big mistake though was picking a movie that was too short because once the film ended her son picked up the phone and dialed 911. Always put on "The Godfather" trilogy when you abandon your kids. I can't stress that enough.
A 16 year old cheerleader in Texas has been charged a $45,000 fine after she refused to cheer for the two students that allegedly raped her. She was kicked off the squad after she refused and her parents immediately filed a lawsuit against the school. The fine comes from the court that called the lawsuit frivolous and fined in favor of the school. So that's a nice story.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Tiff2Pdf converts a TIFF image to a PDF document.
Tiff2Pdf [ options ] input.tiff
Tiff2Pdf opens a TIFF image and writes a PDF document to standard output.
The program converts one TIFF file to one PDF file, including multiple page TIFF files, tiled TIFF files, black and white, grayscale, and color TIFF files that contain data of TIFF photometric interpretations of bilevel, grayscale, RGB, YCbCr, CMYK separation, and ICC L*a*b* as supported by LibTiff and PDF.
If you have multiple TIFF files to convert into one PDF file then use Tiffcp or other program to concatenate the files into a multiple page TIFF file. If the input TIFF file is of huge dimensions (greater than 10000 pixels height or width) convert the input image to a tiled TIFF if it is not already.
The standard output is standard output. Set the output file name with the −o output.pdf option.
All black and white files are compressed into a single strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF, unless tiled, where tiled black and white images are compressed into tiled CCITT G4 Fax compressed PDF.
Color and grayscale data can be compressed using either JPEG compression, ITU-T T.81, or Zip/Deflate LZ77 compression. Set the compression type using the −j or −z options. Use only one or the other of −j and −z.
If the input TIFF contains single strip CCITT G4 Fax compressed information, then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding, unless the options of no compression and no passthrough are set, −d and −n.
If the input TIFF contains JPEG or single strip Zip/Deflate compressed information then that is written to the PDF file without transcoding, unless the options of no compression and no passthrough are set.
The default page size upon which the TIFF image is placed is determined by the resolution and extent of the image data. Default values for the TIFF image resolution can be set using the −x and −y options. The page size can be set using the −p option for paper size, or −w and −l for paper width and length, then each page of the TIFF image is centered on its page. The distance unit for default resolution and page width and length can be set by the −u option, the default unit is inch.
Various items of the output document information can be set with the −e, −c, −a, −t, −s, and −k options. Setting the argument of the option to "" for these tags causes the relevant document information field to be not written. Some of the document information values otherwise get their information from the input TIFF image, the software, author, document name, and image description.
