Harry was blown away by the bloody great film, THE REVENANT in CineVegas!!!
You know - sometimes you're at a Festival. You have a great first day, but then... you just seem to be on a roll of forgettable or worse films. That isn't to say this festival isn't wonderful, because CINEVEGAS is! It's a party festival, one that fully uses everything that VEGAS has to infuse it with awesome good times. The other night, I meant to see the "world premiere" of THE REVENANT, but I'd seen a couple films that day - and the party opposite the premiere was at SAPPHIRE'S the 70,000 Square Foot Wal-Mart of Tits & Ass. The festival write up told me it was a zombie film, about a guy who dies in Iraq and is buried and comes back to life and hangs out with his best friend as they deal with the decaying body he occupies. Well, that didn't adequately fire me up to blow off Vegas Strippers with Yoko. No, I let you folks down and succumbed to my own lust for T&A that gets rubbed in your face, crotch, etc. Today started off with a film I hated from the get go, and I just hated it more with every continuing second, till at the 18 minute mark, I left the screening. It was so bad, I almost blew off seeing anything else at the festival. When a film sucks at this level, it's the sort of thing that makes you not want to see anything else. Then there was another film I saw that had moments, but didn't come together as one would hope. About 30 minutes before this movie, Yoko was asleep - and I was debating whether or not to wake her for the film, but I thought about the one color still I'd seen from the film. I liked the make-up. And hey - as well as doing AICN, I'm one of the lead programmers at Fantastic Fest and it is my duty, for the team, to see this festival's most likely candidate. By the time David Anders' reanimated BART - moaning in pain breaks into the funeral home, looks in the mirror horrified at his own eyes (which rule) - grabs a pair of scissors and snips through his sewn shut mouth, so he can speak... I was ON BOARD! I was officially rooting for the film, but knowing that it's a far cry to go from a cool scene to a full fledged genre piece of awesome. After all... as far as I knew, this film was about to turn into a film about a best friend taking care of the decaying talking corpse of his best friend... and well, I saw a film like that at SXSW and hated it. The first thing that makes this film awesome is the friendship as played between David Anders and Chris Wylde is note fucking perfect. Wylde's JOEY is a consummate best friend that doesn't want to lose his best friend again. And it doesn't matter if his best friend pukes black blood on his carpet and dining room table. It doesn't matter if he has to find blood for him, so they can still be tight. It doesn't matter if every night they have to kill someone and drain them of blood - because goddammit, that's what best friends do for one another! And yes, there's other characters. Girl Friends and nosey friends. But this is really a story about best friends being there for each other. Even if one of them is needing blood to keep from decomposing. NOW - their answer to the blood issue is to kill evil fucks and save innocent people from evil... and suck the bad people dry. That is an excellent plan. They're in Los Angeles, so there's plenty of nasty fucks to kill - and they get into it - and it does give them some problems later. The film this most resembles is NEAR DARK. Is it as great as NEAR DARK... that's difficult to say due to the rough state of the film I saw tonight. Sure, this may be its "World Premiere" engagement - but frankly the film is nowhere near done. What we heard was basically a stereo mix of a film that will have a far more powerful audio output later. The film was being screened off of essentially an avid output - which folks that know what that means know that you'll see a lot of artifacting, especially in the low light scenes, and the dark sequences - you'll lose a TON OF DETAIL that is actually there in the print waiting to be projected. Whenever it gets finished. There's also a bit of effects work that wasn't quite done, but again - they know it and it will be done before any of you are likely to see this fucking amazing film. Now - I have to warn some of you. There's shit that happens in this film that will turn some stomachs and make horror fans cheer! So... where the fuck did this film come from? The director's name is Kerry Prior. For all intents and purposes this is his first film as director. But you've seen his work as an effects man in everything from PHANTASM II & III & IV to THE ABYSS to Elm Street 3 & 4 to THE BLOB remake to CHRISTMAS VACATION to BUBBA HO-TEP!!! And it seems he's decided to make a real fucking horror film to stamp his name into the minds of geeks like us everywhere... and that's exactly what he has done with this film! The name that really gave me pause in the opening credits was the credited editor of this film. None other than WALTER MURCH. Yeah, the guy behind APOCALYPSE NOW, the re-edit of TOUCH OF EVIL, THE CONVERSATION and a great deal of other great films. I've no idea how Prior got Walter aboard, but damn if this film isn't nicely put together! This is a film you'll be hearing a lot about from here on. Be it on AICN or elsewhere. This is a great little genre film that gets exactly as nuts as one would hope a violent buddy flick can get with the undead. I am purposefully not talking about WHOLE ASPECTS of this film because you should let the film do that to you. In fact, when I found the trailer online, I got mad at it because frankly it gives too much away. But one thing is for sure, you'll love the tag line for this film: "You Think TWILIGHT Is A Vampire Movie?" Well, I do - it just doesn't have the balls or a twentieth of the awesome of this film. This is Vampire/Undead the way we love it. Bloody, Fucked-Up and Twisted as all Hell!

Holy crap, he worked on the remake of The Blob?
by Frisco
I'm sold! Walter Murch as editor is just icing on the cake. I'm glad you found something else that was cool at this show, Harry. It was starting to sound like a lame line-up. I mean, lame enough that it looks like you've been taking pity on it by not really trashing some movies by name, even if they deserve it. ;)

Sounds cool, but it also sounds like "Deathdream"
by KarlKolchak
"Deathdream" aka "The Night Andy Came Home" featured one of the most awesome sequences in movie history -- a car chase in which:
 1) The car being chased is on fire, and
 2) The car being chased contains a zombie.
 If you take into consideration the fact it was directed by Bob Clark, who gave the world "A Christmas Story," that makes that muthafucka a must-see.
 I loves me some zombies.

Harry...what was the SXSW film you saw that you hated?
by Jonah Echo
about a friend taking care of the reanimated dead corpse?
 I recently saw Make Out With Violence at the Maryland Film Festival, and it played at SXSW too. It had that basic premise(the zombie friend didnt actually talk though) and I thought it was quite awesome.
 Another indie movie, but sort of existing between John Hughes and a zombie film.
 Thats not the movie you are talking about is it?
 This new theme of making the zombies have a more individual personality seems to be the latest thing. Not in a Bub way, but in a "hey, remember this guy, he's dead but we are still friends" way. Interesting.
 The Revenant definitely sounds like a cool little film, and it has a vampire aspect to it? Terrific.
 Anyway, if anyone wants to check it out, I did a review for Make Out With Violence over here:

Chan-wook Park's first English language film.

The Hangover review????
by antonphd
Are you going to at least review this film when it has it's home release? It's #1 this week for the second week and it's exactly the kind of movie that AICN loves and I just can't understand why there still isn't a review. Don't tell me you haven't seen it yet. This is the kind of film I have to rush home to read your review after watching. The balls out kind that ussually makes you giddy.

Looks like a modern day Dead Heat
by Robusto
The official site has a trailer. Trailers can be deceiving, but honestly it looks like something that would have came out fifteen years ago and been direct to video release. A post modern vampire buddy comedy with witty tarantinoesque dialog. Looks like a bastard movie from the 90's they forgot to release, or a really sad Shaun Of The Dead knockoff. Also Hatchet was one of the first movies in a long time I turned off within 30 minutes.
June 14, 2009, 11:36 p.m. CST
Dead heat was awsome
by Robusto
way ahead of its time. But there's something about camera winking and non serious vampire movies that leave a bad taste in my mouth. It's too early to tear down the genre, we need some great films to come out. Lost Boys, Interview Vampire, hell even the first Blade is great vampire movie.
June 14, 2009, 11:41 p.m. CST
by antonphd
What are you talking about? The Hangover has been #1 at the box office the last 2 weekends. Harry is ussually giddy in his love for films like this. I do rush back home from a film I really love to read what Harry has written about it. What's the lame joke or grossly misinformed thing about any of that? I don't come to read AICN to say shit about Harry. I don't waste by life saying shit about movie reviewers. I come here to share in the love of a film. I loved The Hangover and nobody talks about the joy of a movie experience in a way that I feel gets my own experience the way Harry does. And a few of the other reviewers here, but mostly Harry. What's the problem with that? Do you come to AICN to actually debate a movie or someone's opinion on a movie? Cause I don't waste my time debating entertainment. I spend my time enjoying entertainment. Which is why I appreciate that Harry stopped writing about films he doesn't enjoy. Cause why waste the time? Better to spend your time promoting something you love rather than something you don't love. Which is why I'm dissapointed that there hasn't been a review for The Hangover. I would have thought Harry would love it.

You are being fed information by the studios. Which film did Harry pour praise on pay for that suite? I admit that I have seen a dissapointing film or two at CineVegas this year, but not one that would make me walk out, but I don't get checks from the filmmakers. This is a sad, sad revalation for me. Ban me too, but other sites are doing it better, and without kickbacks.

why Twilight?
by Rocco Curioso
The power of teenage girls en masse is NOT to be underestimated. It's no secret that Titanic's box office was pushed way north to $1.8 billion courtesy of repeat viewings by teenage girls made moist by Leonardo DiCaprio. Same thing with Twilight and Robert Pattinson. Added to which 1.)Twilight had a built-in fanbase courtesy of the books, and 2.)Those teen girls who swooned over Pattinson dragged their moms to the theatre for their 2nd, 3rd, 4th viewings. Twilight had a $37 million budget and made TEN times that at the box office worldwide, and plenty more on DVD. Sound economics, indeed. It's a phenomenon. It will run its course, but not anytime soon.
I hope Harry's on the mark about The Revenant. I will always be indebted to AICN for making me full aware of Ginger Snaps early on. Maybe this will be another hidden gem of a horror movie.
June 15, 2009, 2:48 a.m. CST

by Amy Chasing
and yes, for a site that prides itself with being an Apatow fan-base-base-thingy, it is a bit odd not to be mentioning The Hangover as much as Year One has been.

The Hangover was terrible
by digital_soul
I chuckled a few times in the opening 20 minutes and then the premise just got old. Its just full of random scenes that probably seemed funny to the writers when they were drunk, but in the harsh light of day just fall flat. I can picture it now - Hey wouldn't it be funny if Mike Tyson suddenly turns up and starts singing Phil Collins and decks one of the guys? Er..No not really, its just seemed totally forced and desperate and that's not taking into account that Tyson is a misygonist rapist as was clearly evident from the recent Tyson movie and shouldn't be celebrated in any way shape or form.

The Hangover...
by Rocco Curioso
is 2009's comedy apex to Paul Blart: Mall Cop's nadir. Go see it; you will not be disappointed.
Sadly, the trailer for Bruno was in front of it. Something tells me that Sasha Baron Cohen as Europoofter fashionisto won't play quite as well as SBC as Eastern Euronoodlehead on a quest for Pamela Anderson.
As for that Apatow/Sandler/Rogen impending train wreck... I will steer clear. Cuddly just doesn't play to Sandler's strengths, and putting him & Rogen in the same movie is a bad idea. It's the comedy equivalent of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, rather than some halfwit sticking his chocolate bar into homey's jar of peanut butter, and mayhem ensues.
And as for Year One? Jack Black playing Jack Black as an obnoxious caveman(Id to Michael Cera's Superego, were Freud a prehistoric cave dweller, which he was not). That's just catharsis gone very, very wrong.

Harry's 'Bias' re: Meta4's comment
by Cory849
I'm not sure why Harry's bias is an issue in this talkback at all, Meta. But it just made me want to post something I've thought for awhile. I find it hilarious that studios would bother to curry favor with Harry or pray for a good review from him. Harry's readership basically makes up its own mind, and think that Harry is either on the take, as you do, or, best case scenario, a guy with pretty questionable taste that no one trusts. He's not an opinion maker. Take this for example - Harry gushed about Revenant. I reserved judgement. A couple of talkbackers said it was really good. Now I'm interested.
June 15, 2009, 12:47 p.m. CST
by Trannyformers_Apologist
Friedman's attorney Martin Garbus is further claiming that the leak of Wolverine onto the internet 30 days early, the leak which Friedman used for his illegal downloading, was actually all the fault of Rupert Murdoch to begin with. "Apparently, someone made another copy for themselves," he says. That's right, they're claiming Rupert Murdoch pirated his company's movie.

Simply REALLY WANTING to be John Hughes / Wes Anderson does not make one worthy of a comparison. Glad someone liked it, but it was boring and rambling and had no stylistic identity.

 Special mention goes to Talk of the Town, it's on South LV Blvd I believe. It' attached to a porno shop so it's one stop shopping. Good times. Glitter Gulch sucks. Cheetahs and Spearmint Rhino are good. Plus there's a club east of the Strip near The Hard Rock that's really good. I'm drawing a blank on the name right now sorry.

"MAKE-OUT with VIOLENCE" was the movie that Harry hated at SXSW. I know this because I'm one of the people that made it and I sat next to him at the screening. We never REALLY WANTED to be John Hughes/Wes Anderson - more like John Hughes/Terrence Malick/Andrei Tarkovsky. We're way too pretentious and self-aggrandizing to stive to be the next Wes Anderson. Sorry you didn't like the movie JimBob - we'll try harder next time. Thanks for the favorable Review cinematropolis guy.

 I totally think you guys nailed the movie and specifically the segments involving the mourning and the funeral. I also happen to think that you did manage to evoke Tarkovsky and Malick(Malick alot more than Tarkovsky)and I think there is definitely an audience out there for the movie.
 Ever see Guatemalan Handshake? I saw it a previous MFF and it had a similar feel. No one at all was talking about that one, and still few have seen it, but David Gordon Green wrote a love letter of an intro for it for the dvd release.
 The people I saw it with here in Baltimore were really impressed with it, and I definitely think it's not for everyone...but if you happen to be in the target audience, look out..
 If you guys ever start selling them off the website drop me a line over at cinematropolis and let me know. In fact, let me know about distribution either way if you can.
 For what it's worth, I rented May years ago on Harry's request and while it was alright, I was baffled by the love for it. I just recently saw Dead Girl(the zombie one) and found it to be ridiculous and vile so I wouldn't sweat it too much.
 i just have one question, and I know it was left vague, but...Who tied up Wendy and why?
 So, what's next for the Deagol Bros?

Something that may be highly flawed but incredibly passionate comes along and he merely dismisses it. Asshole fanboys looking for the splatter of zombie films may be disappointed.

fruit pigeon
The topic
fruit pigeon
is discussed in the following articles:
pigeon (bird)
The Treroninae, or the fruit pigeons, consists of about 115 species in about 10 genera, found primarily in Africa, southern Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands. These fruit-eating birds are soft-billed, short-legged, and arboreal in habit. Their plumage is usually greenish, often with yellow, red, or other brightly coloured markings. The group includes the heavyset imperial pigeons...
columbiform (bird)
General habits
...(coexisting) species differing by a wide variety of species-specific colour patterns that serve for mate recognition and, hence, species isolation. Nevertheless, the predominant colour of most fruit pigeons is green, which ensures effective camouflage when the birds are, as usually, among tree foliage. The success of fruit pigeons in this region may have resulted from the absence of...

LOS ANGELES, CA – APRIL 14: Actress Brittany Snow arrives at the Los Angeles Premiere '17 Again' at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on April 14, 2009 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)
Just as we predicted, actress Brittany Snow only lasted a few months as a brunette, though she proved she can get away with both looks very well. It might be true that blondes have more fun, but from personal experience it is also true that being blonde is like a drug and it can be addicting. Such a drastic change from blonde to brunette often results in feelings of withdrawl and relapse.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Customer Service!
Aerial Banner of Love Save the Date Magnets My fiancé and I are getting married in my hometown, Nashville. Since he is a pilot, we knew that we definitely wanted an aviation theme. We really wanted to incorporate both his flying and Nashville. And, although the original design did not include the Nashville skyline, the folks at MagnetStreet changed it for us, no problem! The customer service is excellent, and the product matches. We are so happy! We cannot wait until we mail out our Save the Dates! Thank You!
High Quality
Classic New York Tri-fold Invitations We are very pleased with the wedding invitations that we ordered. The design is just as we wanted it and the customization was easy. The workmanship is excellent!
Rooftop Party Rectangle Invitations Magnet Street is great! I shopped around with other websites and they were the only ones to let us see what our custom colors looked like on the card from the beginning. All other websites said you had to order a sample to see the custom colors! When we received our invitations and RSVP cards they were perfect and we received rave reviews from our guests that they were some of the best invitations they had ever received!!! Would recommend Magnet Street to anyone!!
Rooftop Party Square Invitations LOVE LOVE LOVE. We are so happy with the final product, design, etc. Can't wait to get them sent out.
Looks Great on Pearlized Paper!
Classic New York Tri-fold Invitations The card quality and printing looked great on the pearlized paper as opposed to the regular. The pearlized paper gave the invitation a pop! The personalizing needs to be approved and checked by you (so ensure no typos!). It did come exactly how it looked! I ordered a single one which was a cool way to check how my invitation would look before the big order! The shipping date is accurate and it does take 5-6 days to print before shipping, so ensure enough time when ordering your invites. I like the modern look and was able to fit all the information between the inside and back of the invite!

Breaking: First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Breaking: First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild - Auto Car News and Review information provide by Auto Car News and Review the reliable and up to date automotive news and review.
This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week…" No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

ASSE Members Appointed to National Fire Protection Association Committees
Des Plaines, IL (December 29, 2006) — The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) recently announced the appointment of ASSE Member and Foundation Trustee Stephen Bennett, ARM, from Lombard, IL, to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Technical Committee on Electrical Safety in the Workplace as a principal member representing ASSE and ASSE Professional Member H. Shane Ashby, CSP, from Paris, TN, to the NFPA Technical Correlating Committee on Health Care Facilities as an alternate to ASSE Member Wayne L. Brannan, ARM, from Charleston, SC, representing ASSE.
As representatives of ASSE on the two aforementioned NFPA committees, Bennett and Ashby will assist in the development of standards that contribute to workplace safety.
Bennett said, "It is important for safety, health and environmental professionals and ASSE to be active in organizations such as the NFPA, because the NFPA helps develop critical sets of protocols, such as the NFPA 70E Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, to mitigate catastrophic injury in the workplace. I am very pleased to help represent ASSE in the development of these standards in coordination with NFPA."
"Being a member of ASSE provides a person with many opportunities," said Ashby. "Serving on an NFPA Technical Committee is an opportunity to have influence in the development of the standards we are tasked to enforce. Input from safety practitioners working in the field ensures the standards are meaningful and have a positive impact on the safety of the environment. ASSE promotes the advancement of the SH&E profession and its members by providing these opportunities which also lead to increased workplace safety."
NFPA has been a worldwide leader in providing fire, electrical, building, and life safety to the public since 1896. The mission of the international nonprofit organization is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating consensus codes and standards, research, training and education.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 30,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.

- Blending with Non-responsive Polymers to Incorporate Nanoparticles into Shape-Memory Materials and Enable Photothermal Heating: The Effects of Heterogeneous Temperature Distribution
David B. Abbott, Somsubhra Maity, Mary T. Burkey, Russell E. Gorga, Jason R. Bochinski and Laura I. Clarke
Article first published online: 29 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201400386
Blending shape-memory materials with a compatible carrier polymer containing metal nanoparticles enables wavelength-specific light-to-heat triggering. Particles utilized as nanoscale heaters are contained within the carrier polymer, which will act as either "soft", "hard", or inert phases with respect to the actuation, having differing advantages and challenges in each case.
- Near-Infrared-Irradiation-Induced Remote Activation of Surface Shape-Memory to Direct Cell Orientations

Article first published online: 29 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201400353
Near-infrared (NIR)-irradiation-induced remote control of cell alignment is demonstrated using shape-memory nanopatterned surfaces. The NIR-responsive shape-memory nanopatterns are prepared by chemically crosslinking poly(ε-caprolactone) in the presence of gold nanorods. Upon NIR irradiation, cells start to change their morphology as the temporal nanopatterns transition to a flat surface.
- Radical Propagation Kinetics of N-Vinylpyrrolidone in Organic Solvents Studied by Pulsed-Laser Polymerization–Size-Exclusion Chromatography (PLP–SEC)
Lucia Uhelská, Dušan Chorvát, Robin A. Hutchinson, Sandhya Santanakrishnan, Michael Buback and Igor Lacík
Article first published online: 29 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201400329
The propagation rate coefficient, kp, for N-vinylpyrrolidone is determined by pulsed-laser polymerization with subsequent analysis of the polymer molar mass distribution by size-exclusion chromatography in a series of organic solvents differing in types of intermolecular interactions, and compared with polymerization in water. The hydrogen-bonding interactions are primarily responsible for the dependence of the kp value on monomer concentration.
- Association of Nucleobase-Containing Ammonium Ionenes
Mana Tamami, Keren Zhang, Ninad Dixit, Robert B. Moore and Timothy E. Long
Article first published online: 29 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201400277
The spacer length between an ionene backbone and pendant nucleobases influences hydrogen-bonding associations between chains having complementary or non-complementary nucleobase units. The glass-transition temperatures of ionene–adenine and ionene–thymine blends with a 4-bond spacer adhere to Fox–Flory predictions, indicating the absence of inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonding associations, whereas 9-bond-spacer ionene blends show a significant negative deviation. This deviation is attributed to hydrogenbonding interactions and is based on the Kwei model, illustrating that the heteroassociation between complementary chains is weaker than homoassociation.
- Synthesis, Properties, and Applications of Ion-Containing Polyurethane Segmented Copolymers
Ashley M. Nelson and Timothy E. Long
Article first published online: 29 SEP 2014 | DOI: 10.1002/macp.201400373
The synthesis, structure–property relationships, and emerging applications of ion-containing polyurethane segmented copolymers are discussed, focusing on recent literature. Highlighting a variety of novel anionic, cationic, and zwitterionic monomers, polyurethanes with ionic sites end-capping in the hard segment and/or in the soft segment are examined, revealing a broad range of tunable material properties.

Shapeshifting Business Leadership
Rights without responsibilities lead corporations to false profits.
By John Perkins
We live in a time of extraordinary transformation. From climate change around the planet to regime change in the Middle East, from radioactive contamination in Japan to the death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan – we are experiencing global events that will impact our world for years to come. And today, like never before, business is the prime mover for shaping attitudes and molding the institutions that educate us and govern our activities.
Hospitals used to be run by nuns, now they're run by huge corporations. Newspapers used to be owned by families, now they're owned by multinational companies. Laws in the US used to be written by elected officials, now the most important ones are written by corporate lobbyists who finance the political campaigns of those officials.

Money Management
Family Eldercare's Money Management Program helps seniors and people with disabilities continue to live independently in their homes and in their neighborhoods. A less restrictive alternative to guardianship, Money Management offers two levels of services:
• Bill payer assistance is available to low-income elders and people with disabilities who have the capacity to remain in control of their finances and voluntarily receive the services. Services include sorting mail, writing checks for the client to sign, balancing checkbooks and making sure bills are sent in a timely manner.
• For individuals determined to be incapable of handling their own finances, representative payees are approved to receive benefits issued by Social Security and the Office of Personnel Management on behalf of the clients. Services also include budget setup, checkbook balancing and management of monthly bill payments. Monitoring and insurance is provided.
All clients receive additional case management services to ensure adequate food, shelter and medical care. All bank accounts are insured through AARP and monitored by third-party volunteers who ensure accountability.
AARP also serves as a collaborative partner and assists with recruiting, training and insuring community volunteers who meet regularly with clients and provide community engagement in addition to bill payer role.
Clients eligible for Money Management services must be:
• elderly or an adult with disabilities
• low-income (at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Index)
• incapable of performing the tasks themselves
• without anyone available or appropriate to assist them
For information about training as well as access to volunteer forms please contact our Volunteer Coordinator via
or at 512.483.3582.

Rising gas and food prices may have put a damper on your plans to remodel this year, but there are some economical ways to update your kitchen.

Everybody knows what an 'emotional rollercoaster' is, and it seems that my freshman year emotional rollercoaster at Luther College is determined by my Paideia papers. Any week that my fellow freshmen and I are crammed into the study lounge desperately waiting to hit the precious 'print' button is a crazy week. When a test in Calculus worth 17.5% of your grade is also that week, things come completely unglued. That was last week. This week, I have no tests and regular daily assignments, meaning much less work and quite the dip in stress level. I think I'm going to start saving energy now for Midterms......
With all the stress of last week gone, I volunteered to donate blood when the American Red Cross came to campus for the day. Over 170 Luther students took the time to wait in line and be pricked a few times to help save people's lives. I overheard from a nurse that when Wartburg College (Luther's biggest rival) had a donation day, 70 students donated. Yet another reason Luther is superior! Although booking it across campus because I was late to orchestra rehearsal made me feel a little shaky, I felt satisfied that I made a difference that day.
My roommates and I also volunteered to be student hosts and attended an informational meeting about it this week. A student host is a Luther freshman who takes in a prospective student for a day. At Luther I've already seen many prospective freshman on tours or visiting my classes and I can't help but think, "I'm so glad that's over." It reminds me of being a senior last year with college applications, essays, scholarships, visits, decisions, etc. Even though I have different stresses now, I wouldn't change anything. College wouldn't be college without a little stress.
I'm leaving you with a short blog this week because it's so beautiful outside and what's a better stress reliever than a Friday afternoon in the sunshine?

Huh. Just when I was wondering why I hadn't added a notch to my bedpost for knocking off a little Japanese evolutionary psychologist, Satoshi Kanazawa sensed my wonderment and answered my question. Seems he thinks black women are unappealing. Meaning, we's ugly. And he's got graphs, charts, and flimsy research to prove his whole little demented point.
Guess that takes me out of the running for a date with that fine little thang. Shucks.
His contention, originally posted on Psychology Today's website, was entitled "Why Are Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women?" Translated into Ebonics, my second language, that reads "Why Are Black Chicks So Damn Homely?" Evidently he's tired of being accosted by our outward beastliness and got to the bottom of it. My question is: Did the deep-thinking editors over at Psychology Today not stop to contemplate that the post might be a smidge offensive?
Of course they did. Because they surely would've axed that thing from the giddy-up had it been about Jewish women or Latino women or Russian women. Fact of the matter is, they didn't care, which makes this whole fiasco doubly insulting. They ran it because they assumed that the general populace of black broads don't read their publication. Well, good folks, we do. I'm sorry: we did. And some of us even write.
Up until now, I had been impressed with the cool perspective the print magazine and its online component had on issues like parenting and dating. In fact, I've even linked to the site during my rants and ramblings here on The Stir. That was before I found out that they didn't respect me and my kind enough to not publish what is clearly some quack's thinly veiled racism backed by some piddly scientific evidence.
Folks are still calling for that elusive "I'm sorry" from the Psychology Today camp, but as far as I'm concerned, they can save it. Any apology more than a week in the making is an apology I don't care to get.
Truth is, the research wasn't even all that compelling — and this is coming from a layperson's perspective, so I'm pretty sure a team comprised of and catering to licensed practitioners should've been none too bedazzled by it. I bet Dr. Kanazawa thought he was doing something real groundbreaking when he drummed up his concept. And when he shared it with his colleagues, I'm sure he got all kinds of affirmations, maybe even a geeky group high-five.
What would've been an assertion actually worthy of research and interest is why everybody wants to dog out black women but so many people want to be like black women.
Just parts and pieces of us, anyway. Plastic surgeons are booked up with appointments made by chicks wanting to plump up their lips and beef up their backsides. Inasmuch as folks like to attribute the invention of pouty mouths and bubble butts to Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez, those attributes are one hunert percent homegrown straight from Mother Africa.
Tanning salons make a killing, and when it's warm and sunny outside, you can't find a patch of sand or a piece of park grass that doesn't have a pale-skinned chick laying out on it, all in our white sistren's effort to brown their skin up. I've had ladies diligent in their mission to get golden hold their arms up next to mine like my complexion is the standard they're trying to achieve.
Next time I'll warn them that this look right here ain't the way to go.
Truth be told, I can only be but so put out over what Dr. Kanazawa said. It's unfortunate that, as a black woman, I've developed a sort of expectant defensiveness to this kind of stuff. I mean, we stay the subject of somebody's study, research, or report. We've been nappy-headed hoes a la Don Imus and big booty hoes a la Snoop Dogg. Disrespect is an unfortunate consequence of being born black and female. That doesn't make anything about this situation right. It just makes it unsurprising.
When I look at Jill Scott, Gabrielle Union, and Michelle Obama — heck, my own daughter and my circle of family and friends who aren't household names but every bit as gorgeous as anybody's red carpet-walking celebrity — it makes this dude's claims even less worthy of getting all worked up about. We've given him too much attention and time as it is.
Is there some validity to Dr. Kanazawa's study? Can one group of women be less attractive than others?
Image via √oхέƒx™/Flickr
Well, Im just a woman, so my opion is different then that of an average male... I dont' think I have ever seen one group of woman that were more attractive then another. Course there are individual woman who may be more attractive then others. But even then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What one man or woman finds attractive, then next may view as homely.
Does anybody remember Whitney Houston or Beverly Johnson when they were 25?
Gorgeous women and much prettier than any average white woman.
Gorgeous is gorgeous no matter what color you are.
Big bug eyes, long lashes, high brows and cheek bones, turned up noses and full lips are features that cross color barriers and are features that even toddlers prefer to look at.
It always has been true for our culture and always will be.
Please don't tell me that the above mentioned features are just the "white" coming out in people.
They are present in all cultures and all ethnicities.
Yeah, I know, we are all beautiful in our own way and all that stuff.......................
Just responding.
Psychology Today is ridiculous.
So I guess the group of least attractive women is made up of 90% of us who don't possess those features, all different colors of us!
Oh snap, let me go hide my ugly face in the closet! Why do people publish this idiot? Wasn't he the same one who had a study that "proved" that liberals are smarter than conservatives? GTFOO.
Beauty is the eye of the beholder. I am originally from Mexico and we have been told more than once that Mexican women are ugly, but guess what? The current Miss Universe is from Mexico; so I would not pay attention to stupid people like this "gentleman", maybe his big crush was AA girl and she would not even give him a second look.
CoolRelax... People on the Stir LOVED that study. They run with that because it is fitting for them. Either he's wrong or he's right in his methods. Somebody is always going to be offended when you compare groups.
Well not all women whom tan, have big lips or a bigger arse is "wanting" to be like a black woman. Sorry but thats not true... I'm light olive and tan easy just when outside.. I have a nice round arse and big lips.. but guess what I WAS BORN that way.. just like most of us JEWISH women are. Just saying.
& I don't think it was racist of him.. I think it was his opinion and he should have stated "his opinion & the opinions of those he researched". I don't find many other races attractive but thats MY OPINION.. doesn't make me racist.. I just like what I like.. kwim?

Practice Your Shooting
It really doesn't matter what you shoot, whether if it's a rifle, muzzle loader or bow (compound, re-curve, or long bow) you need to shoot year round. I know it gets very expensive to shoot a rifle or muzzle loader all the time but to stay proficient you need to shoot more than just a couple times a year. That's not really the case with archery, we can shoot our arrows over and over unless you are a beginner and then you ruin a lot of arrows practicing. I can shoot my Carbon Express arrows over and over as long as I don't miss and jack up an arrow which very rarely happens unless we are getting stupid and trying almost impossible shots. Another advantage with archery is I can shoot in my back yard and no one cares, but if I started popping off with my 30-06, oh man look out, the cops will be there in a heartbeat with their guns drawn and aiming right at me. For the rifle and muzzle loaders if you can't shoot a lot during off season you need to at least get out once a month or every other month before season and make sure your gun is still sighted in, plus if your gun is in a gun safe for extended periods of time you might start to have a rusting problem. When you do go shoot you may find something is wrong or broke or something breaks while you are at the range, if it does you can get it fixed before you go on your hunt. I had this happen a few years ago, I hadn't shot my bow for a couple months because of an injury and when I pulled my bow out of the case and started waxing my string, I noticed that my cable guard slide was broke. I don't know about you but most of the places I hunt it's a long drive to a town that may or may not be able to fix the problem. If I wouldn't have caught that broken slide I would have had a very long drive to find a place that would have one for my bow. The bottom line here is to shoot as much as possible so when that moment of truth comes along you're ready.
Staying Organized
Keeping all your hunting equipment organized is one of the most import things to do that I can't stress it enough. A lot of hunters when they get home throw everything in the corner of the garage, clean their gun, put it away in a gun safe and they're done until their next hunting season. Well the next hunting season arrives and you are going through everything trying reorganize and make sense of everything when come to find out, you left a pair of used socks in one of the bags, and the worst part of it all is there's no laundry detergent made on this earth that's going to take that smell out of everything you had in with those socks. This may be a little over kill but I think you get the picture.
I'm not much different but when I unload my truck I put everything into three different piles. One pile is all my hunting clothes, another is my regular clothes and then the third pile is all my other hunting stuff like my bow, boots, and that sort of stuff. My hunting clothes go straight into the washer and are washed with Hunter's Specialties Scent-A-Way Laundry Detergent and then hung out side to dry. When it has all dried completely it is all folded and put back into my Hunter's Specialties Scent Safe Travel Bags with one Primetime Fresh Earth Scent Wafer in each bag. Now I'm ready for my next hunt. I go as far as all my shirts are in one bag, my pants in another, and my coats in another. Each bag is marked so if I'm looking for a pair of pants I don't have to go through all the bags to find them. While everything is washing I'm putting all my other stuff away down in the basement where it all has its own place, this way when I go looking for something I know where it is. Now my wife will disagree with this but at least I know where it is. If something is broke I will fix it right away and if it's something I can't do I'll get it to someone who can. There's nothing worse than having something broke and forgetting about it and then as you're getting everything out and ready for your hunt and you find it, well I know the words you're going to use because it happened to me and it was a good thing there was no kids around when I found it. If you can fix it, fix it, but if it's one of those items you can't fix take it to someone and get it fixed right away.
Everything I have talked about organizing so far has been all about when you get home. Don't forget about staying organized while hunting. I'm just as guilty as the next when it comes to staying organized. When I get back to camp after hunting all day all I can think of is getting something in my stomach and going to bed. Now the next morning comes and I'm scrambling to get a lunch made, make sure my hydration bladder has water in it and off I go with a pop tart in one hand and a soda in the other. It's really frustrating when you're about a mile from camp and all of a sudden you hear a bugle and you go to grab your cow call that normally hangs around your neck and it's not there along with the rest of your calls. Been there, done that, but it only took that one time for me to learn that lesson the hard way.
Check Off Sheet
A check off sheet is something I feel every hunter should have, get one of those generic ones that you find in magazines or at the game and fish department and modify it for you. A rifle hunters check off sheet would be different then a bow hunters as would a muzzle loaders. Some of the items will be the same like your licenses, GPS/Maps/Compass, but a bow hunter doesn't need blaze orange and a rifle hunter doesn't need camo. I have my list broke down into categories, day pack, hunting clothing, camp clothing, camp accessories, and camping equipment. Like with my day pack, I have a list of everything I carry in it, my camp clothing is what I wear around camp and it's broke down as far as how many pair of socks and underwear I bring. It took me quite a while to come up with my lists, but I started with one of those generic lists a long time ago and went from there. Sometimes I may add to the list or I may remove some thing. Once you start don't stop unless you feel everything you have is sufficient. I've been using these lists for a long time and things are constantly changing as to where I'm adding and subtracting all the time. I even have a needs list and a want list. The needs list is stuff I need before next year's hunt. My want/wish list is a whole lot longer than all my other lists combined. I don't think I need to explain what kind of list that is but you know, like a new AR15 to whack a few coyotes. Maybe if I'm real good this year Santa might bring me one.

REV. WILLIAM EASTON, D. D., for over fifty years pastor of the Octoraro United Presbyterian Church, was born in Ancrum, Parish of Max tOn County of Roxburgh, Scotland, Oct. 2, 1804. His parents emigrated to this country in 1816, and settled in Washington county, N. Y. He waS educated at the Cambridge Academy, New York, taught by Dr. Alexander Bullions, and afterwards at Union College, same State, whence he graduated in 1822. He received his theological training under Dr. Banks in the Associate Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, was licensed by the Associate Presbytery, June 7, 1826, and ordained and installed pastor of the United congregations of Octoraro, East Nottingham (now Oxford), and Muddy Run, June 7, 1827, preaching one-half the time in Octoraro, one-fourth in Oxford and the other fourth in Muddy Run. He resigned the Oxford portion of his charge in 1854, "on account of the distance and his own disability fully to attend to all the duties as he could wish," but continued to preach in Octoraro until 1878, when the infirmities of age compelled him to ask for a dissolution of the pastoral relation, which was granted Oct. 22nd, of the same year, On June 12, 1879, the life which began in Scotland three-quarters of a century before, which had continued for over half a century in the congregation of. Octoraro, through the vigor of youth, the prime of manhood, and the maturity of years, had drawn to a dose, and the weary body laid down to rest in Jesus. His mortal remains repose in the cemetery adjoining the church where his lifework had been performed, and where also repose the. dust of the sainted Gellatley and Cuthbert, the founders of the Reformed. Presbyterian Church in America. The semi-centennial of Dr. Easton's pastorate, June 7, 1877, was a notable occasion. It was largely attended by those who had been brought up under his faithful ministry, and bv citizens of the surrounding country. who had learned to respect and love him; and at his funeral, two years later, the Rev. Dr. Cooper paid this just tribute to his memory: "As a man, Dr. Easton was distinguished for the great gentleness of his disposition. His heart was overflowing with kindness. Sometimes, it is true, he rebuked sin in a manner calculated to give offense, but he was prompted to do so by such a deep conviction of divine truth that no consideration of expediency seemed to him to justify surrendering its claims. He was. unflinChing in his fidelity to the cause of his Lordand Saviour Jesus Christ. He was a man of remarkable candor, despised time-serving, and lived in open antagonism to all phases of sham, duplicity and darkness. He could say with the Apostle, that 'in simplicity and before the people, and the people,of this great county chose him gladly, and they have chosen him ever since. There have been many vile stories of our local politics, some true and' some false, in the past thirteen years, but none of them in the remotest degree has ever been associated with his good name.The bitterness of defeat often moves the tongueto slander, but in this case no sound has been heard. As a member of Congress,' he rapidly rose to prominence, and it may truly be said that this county never had a more industrious, careful and conscientious representative. For some years he has held the chairmanship of the Committee on Banking and Currency, one of the most important committees in the House, and there, as at home, he has proven himself a thoroughly honest man. It fell to his lot to shape the legislation affecting the money of a nation of 70,000,000 people, under which a large portion of the Government bonds were refunded at a lower rate and the National banking system practically reorganized, the ,whole involving hundreds of millions, yet not a dishonest dollar stuck to his fingers. And now the end has come in the midst of his usefulness. He was one of the people, and the whole people mourn him, while we, his intimate associates, will cherish his memory as that of the noblest type of man. Justice J. Hay Brown, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, said: The virtues of our dead friend and brother have been justly extolled by those who have spoken and it is not needful that I should longer dwell upon them. But if I do not speak of them it is not because any other man's appreciation of them was higher. In every relation of life he was exemplary and from the beginning to the end he was pure and his hands were clean. His good qualities ought to be remembered here and recalled from time' to time in order that they may be emulated. As a citizen, soldier, lawyer, statesman, husband and father he was pure, brave, successful, able, affectionate and God fearing. More than this cannot 'be said of mortal being, and though he fell at his work when the rays of the day's sun were still shining upon him and before the shades of eventide had gatbered about him, his life was not lived in vain. In 1882 Mr. Brosius, a delegate in the Republican State Convention, in the midst of a factional contest, made a speech in favor of harmony in which he said: "I love my party better than any wing or faction of it and only less' than my country," which so carried the convention that he was by acclaim nominated for a Congressman at large, but was defeated, aIthough he ran seventy-six hundred ahead of the others on the Republican ticket. In 1888,after an exciting contest, he was elected as the Republican. candidate to represent the, Tenth District in Congress: almost without opposition he was nominated and elected in 1890, 1892, 1894 1896, 1898, 1900. His death left a vacancy in the L VIIth Congress, where he had only entered upon his term a few days previously. I It was no easy task to follow Stevens and Smith as the representatives of Lancaster county in the National Congress--the grandest district in our nation, and whose representatives had always taken a leading part in shaping Nationallegislation, yet Mr. Brosius soon secured respectful consideration from that body and was frequently selected by his party members to lead the discussion in the House of Representatives in consequence of his clear conception, persuasive rhetoric and faultless diction in godly sincerity,' he had his conversation in the world." When Dr. Easton came to Lancaster county it was the prevailing custom among farmers to furnish liquor to theirhelp in harvest time. There was a small farm attached to his residence in Smyrna. At his first harvest, when the men asked for their "morning bitters" and were refused, they laid down their scythes, declaring they would not work without it, intimating that his refusal was prompted By meanness. Ascertaining the cost of the liquor they were accustomed to receive, he said he would gladly add double its cost to their daily wages, rather than place temptation in the path of his fellow men. His offer was accepted by some, but others preferred whiskey and left. The following harvest Dr. Easton had his pick of harvest hands, and in a few years the custom was entirely abolished, while the increased wages he paid had become the standard in that neighborhood. At that period the prevailing sentiment was decidedly pro-slavery. One Sunday Dr. Easton created quite a sensation by preaching what his critics denounced as an "abolition lecture." It was, however, a vindication of the Bible against those who claimed that it justified slavery, which he indignantly repudiated. He lived to see the public sentiment of the nation reversed on the slavery question, from what he found it when he. came to Pennsylvania fifty years before.
