The ultimate no-B.S. German performance weapon?
A no-fluff review for a no-fluff car? Sounds good, no?
The BMW 1 Series M Coupé (let's call it the 1M) is so simple, focused and free of needless add-ons that it's made this writer want do something similar for his review.
Premise? The go-fast gurus at BMW's in-house performance M division took the regular 1 Series and tweaked the stink out of it, adding significantly to the styling, handling, performance and braking capabilities of the standard car. And that standard car didn't really lack for styling, handling, performance or braking capabilities. Bless you, BMW, for not leaving well enough alone.
Cranked to Eleven
But anyhow. The 1M. It's like they put the modest little 128i on an all-steroid diet, emptied a syringe of illegal stimulants into its neck, and sent it to the gym. It looks so muscular, it's nearly busting out of its own skin. If it weren't made of sheet metal, it'd probably have stretch marks.
The important stuff? The 1M packs 335 horsepower up front, a 6-speed manual in the middle, drives the rear wheels, and gets a really loud exhaust system at the back. There's no fluffy, sissy stuff, here. And that's perfect, if you like performance cars without fluffy, sissy stuff.
You can't even get the 1M with a sunroof, fog lamps or an automatic transmission. Performance cars don't need such junk.
Sure - 1M needs to have airbags, Bluetooth and power windows. It is a BMW after all. But the simplistic approach should be welcomed by many enthusiasts nonetheless. Regardless, this is a hell of a performance car engineered to delight drivers with all systems cranked for maximum hooliganism.
Flared fenders accommodate wide wheels wrapped in sticky, high-performance Michelin Pilot tires. There's a track-ready braking system with cross-drilled rotors for consistently powerful stopping, and the front bumper has more air intakes than a fighter jet, including ducts for the intercooler system. The rear end is decorated with four exhaust pipes and the colorful little "M" badge, too.
This car is a big deal and looks that way. In gearhead circles, arriving somewhere in a 1M is like showing up to a party with your new best friend Brad Pitt.

Ace these festive style tips
Being trendy and stylish at the same time can be tricky. Looking good is, great, but do you want to look better than simply sgood? Read on and try these style tips…
TREND: 3/4's
Woolies have fab 3/4 pants in silver and bronze, dressy enough to wear to yet another Christmas party.
TIP – check the length. If they are too long you will look dumpy no matter how tall you are. The length should finish just below the calf muscle. Add strappy shoes to show more flesh and create a longer, slimmer leg.
TREND: Underwear
Temptations have a fabulous range of underwear to compliment your party outfit.
TIP - wear a corset under a low cut dress or sheer top for that sexy look. Try underwear that has a stretch lace finish around the legs and hips, to avoid an unsightly panty line. They are super comfy and oh so feminine!
TREND: Cleavage
Too much cleavage can send out the wrong message.
TIP - Find a lacy camisole that will just peep out of your top or dress. The colour needn't match, so try a contrasting colour. If your top is a V, your camisole should have a straight neck line.
TREND: Ankle straps
Ankle straps are very visible this season.
TIP - Only wear them with a dress or skirt if the strap is dainty. If not, it will cut across your ankle, making you look dumpy, and if you have full calves, they can make you look stocky. Ankle straps are great under pants! Do not wear stockings with them (don't laugh I attended a function the other night and someone did just that!)
TREND: Jeans
Jeans are a versatile must have.
TIP - The fit is very improtant and can help you look slimmer or make you look overweight. Tight jeans not only accentuate your bulges, but draw attention where it's not wanted! Go for a size up, and wait for the "have you lost weight" compliment. Besides, nobody can see the size label in any case.
TREND: Makeup
Finally make up.
TIP – Keep it natural. Colours look dated and can make you look tired if they are not used correctly. Foundation should look natural not like it is caked on. Make lipstick your focal point. For an effect, use a stunning red for the party.

A Christian-Muslim consultation on the Christian presence and witness in the Middle East took place at the Armenian Catholicosate of Cilicia in Antelias, Lebanon, from 24-28 January 2012.
The consultation dealt with issues and challenges facing the Christian communities at this critical juncture in the history of the Arab World. It also explored the effective ways and means of deepening Christian-Muslim coexistence and collaboration as partners in building democratic societies. A general report appeared on Ekklesia here: http://www.ekklesia.co.uk/node/16166 [1]
The consultation was organised by the Geneva-based World Council of Churches in collaboration with the Beirut-based Middle East Council of Churches. More than fifty persons, comprising Christian and Muslim spiritual leaders, intellectuals and actors of civil society took part in this event. A number of ecumenical partners from Europe and the USA also attended it in order to discuss the imperatives of Christian-Muslim dialogue in this volatile and uncertain part of the world (often known as the Middle East and North Africa) and to affirm the need for a deeper sense of engagement between the two faiths.
At the opening session, His Holiness Aram I spoke powerfully about the realities of Christians in the region as well as the way forward for communities of faith. In challenging and contextual remarks, he affirmed that "the Christian communities in the Arab World must engage in dialogue with all trends of Islam which advocate democracy, coexistence and non-violence"
Also attending the consultation were the Rev Dr Olav Fykse Tveit, WCC General Secretary, Dr Mohammad Sammak, General Secretary of the Christian-Muslim Dialogue Committee, Dr Paul Rouhanna, MECC General Secretary and HB Patriarch Emeritus Michel Sabbah of the Latin-rite Catholic Church. In his own intervention, the WCC General Secretary reaffirmed churches' commitment to justice and peace in the Middle East, while stressing the importance of a common vision for living together by Christians and Muslims in the Arab world.
The two You-Tube links here represent together the 16-minute opening presentation by HH Aram I that drew the roadmap for the future of the conference - and in one sense perhaps the region too.

Nike Air Max 1 'Legacy Red'
February 29th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 2 comments
Sneaker News previewed a trio of Nike Air Max 1s set for summer 2012 in late January, one of which had a decidedly feminine feel to it. There's a good chance that one or more WMNS pairs will join that one with different colors in the same pattern, just as has happened here with this new pair suiting up with the mens motif. These take a tonal approach to the Legacy Red and white combo, their subtly patterned side panels adding some depth to the punch of this aggressive look. Stay tuned for a look at the pair one click down on the color wheel a bit later, and check out some more images of this April 2012 release in the meantime. via Titolo

These Loss Funny poems are examples of Funny poems about Loss. These are the best examples of Loss Funny poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Oh, nicker. Oh, nacker.
I broke my poor cracker
While putting it in my soup.
I just wanted a nibble,
But the soup had to quibble,
And thus all my plans turned to poop.
So now I'm here sittin'
A poor man quite smitten
With no other crackers to spare,
On soup that's unlawful,
So twisted and awful,
That it kills with no thought and no care.
Why can't it relate,
And learn not to hate,
My crunchy, crisp wafers of bread,
It would have much more fun
Not to mention for one,
My crackers won't all end up dead.
I suppose it's too much
To ask soup for such
A commitment to love other food.
But till its attitude mends,
And it learns to make friends,
I believe that my crackers are screwed.
Oh, toilet bowl
Did you hear me in the hall
Talking to that bastard wall
Asking who moved the door
Oh, toilet bowl
Don't ever have gin and tonic
Cause inebriation is quite ironic
When lost in your own home
Oh, toilet bowl
So accessible and cool
Forgive my 90 proof drool
Irony is about to surface
Oh, toilet bowl
We're no longer alone
I'm talking to Ralph
on your big white phone
He says he's sorry
Oh, toilet bowl
My porcelain gold
If I may be so bold
Meet my bottom
Oh, toilet bowl!
They tried to make you go to Rehab...
you said...
Shoulda' packed your bags ta' Rehab...
you wouldn't
boo-hoo hot-mess
Where has dad gone, momma dear?
Hush, my little lamb.
Your dad's gone to the thicket dear
And mad old Abraham
That man went early this grim morn, and took his sharpened knife
And with him took his own first born, to offer up his life
With servants and with firewood, both, they journeyed to Moriah
And on the hillside there they built an altar and a fire
And Isaac, when he heard the plan, went willingly, it's odd
That he should let that daft old man, so worship his cruel god.
Your father, he was passing by, and heard but could not see
And foolishly could not deny his curiosity
So closer did your father scramble peering through the thorns
Unaware of how the brambles tangled with his horns
Just to see a crazy man who planned to kill his kin
Your father did not understand the danger he was in
For then again that mad old man started hearing voices
His god was speaking to the loon and giving him new choices
And so his plan to slay the boy came about to falter
And Abraham, he took your pa and dragged him to the altar
But that was never fair, mama, can you tell me why
When Isaac he was all prepared and well prepared to die
And all had been decided on, so what cruel trick mama
Was played upon that grand old ram, who was my own papa?
Life is not fair, my little lamb, nor is it like to change
And fate plays tricks on all of us, both sinister and strange
So you take care, my little lamb, with this advice from me
Do not visit places where you know you should not be
The moral of this story dear, is take heed of the odds
And stay away from two-leggies worshipping their gods
I was talkin' with the Lord when He said to me
"Are you okay? Need some company"?
I told Him that even with all His creatures
I couldn't find one that had my features.
"Well, no need to worry about it." He said
Then he gave me a nightcap, and put me to bed.
When I awoke I was awfully sore
Little did I know there was to be a lot more.
For He had taken a bit of my hair and a piece of bone
And whilst I slept, formed for me a unique companion.
I caller her "Eve" as it seemed to fit
As time went by we were a hit.
We would talk and eat and walk the garden nude
No neighbors as yet, we needn't be prude.
Then one day she said to me,
"Hey Adam, here, try some fruit from this tree."
Not knowing the difference between evil and good
I took a big bite, as together we stood.
Then in a flash everything turned black
I knew we were in for some serious flak.
"What have you done?" I asked aloud
"Was this from the tree, which was not allowed?"
"Well", she said, "The snake gave me the word
That if we ate it, we would be like the Lord."
We realized we were naked and ran off for some leaves
When the Lord started calling, we were hiding in the trees.
"What's going on?" He said to me
"Have you eaten of the forbidden tree?"
Like all blame shifting men not skipping a beat
"Yes, Lord", I said, "Eve gave me some to eat.
"You foolish creatures . . . it would have been wise
You could have spent eternity in this Paradise."
"I'm sorry Lord, I can't say it enough."
"You're right, you can't, so I'm making this rough!
Because now, you will have to scratch out a life
For yourself, your children, and especially your wife.
If you think this is bad, you're in for a trick
Wait until some banker dreams up plastic.
She'll be shopping and buying and going all around
It'll be enough, to put you in the ground.
As for her, she'll suffer as much and more too
After all, now she'll have to put up with you!"
So an angel took us to the gate in the garden wall
Saying only, "Be careful, now it will hurt if you fall."
So there we were, On the Outside Looking In
At that manicured garden, where we committed our sin.
I wouldn't mind if so much weren't at stake
Now all she says is, "I have a headache."
I've tried to forgive her and a gentleman be
But I still can't let her control the remote for the TV.
So here I am thinking, "I've been such a dupe,
For posterity . . . I'll put this on Poetry Soup!"
Long ago, when I was young,
Before my hearing began to fail,
Why, I could hear a boll weevil
Tiptoe across a cotton bale.
But many years have come and gone;
The ghetto blaster took its toll.
Now I couldn't hear an elephant
Dance in clogs with wooden soles.
My Dog
Today is the day!
I give my dog away!
I wonder if he's sick or if he's too lazy to play and do tricks.
I called the vet, "$80 I cannot pay."
My dog, my favorite pet,
He does not want to chase the cat.
I understand that he does not like to get wet.
But, how come today, he doesn't want to play fetch.
I tell him to roll over.
That he doesn't even want to do :- (
When I call my dog Rover,
He gives me the puppy face too.
Maybe he's over fed.
All he does is lay there in bed.
He's not even wagging his tail!
My dog, my favorite pet,
He didn't walk with me to get the mail.
Should I call the Dog Catcher?
And ask why my dog is playing dead?
by;pd & son
Green bark a prism creates,
Feel the pull of earth, you must.
Rotates, a slime of endless hates,
Can hold me not, this world's crust.
Friendship's ties, isolation Deflates,
Succumbs, my spaceship, to bitter rust.
Mist, my soul forever permeates,
Lift-off, booms the rocket's thrust.
My spirit when light returns, elates,
Swamps swell, swallowed hope's swirling dust.
Trapped, I am, until student from fate
Arrives to learn; Cloud City or bust.
Contractual agreements with publisher caused DELETION
I am a loyal, loving, caring and responsible friend and sister
The only daughter of my loving parents , Manuela and deceased father Leonilo

Who fears loss of love, loss of life and snake is the most
Who would like to see different countries, future kids and great poets on

I'm still not sold on the Holy Power mechanic. I've always felt Judgements/Seals were the paladins unique mechanic, but it seems the devs are really shrinking its importance which is kinda sad. I personally don't see a problem with the 3 Judgements and don't understand reducing it down to one.
As always though, this is still beta so I'm waiting for more information, but so far I'm unimpressed.
I think this is a form of homogenization that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a "bring the player, not the class" thing. They're doing their best to remove raid stacking to ensure that every possible buff is provided. Granted, having Light and Wis up on the target wasn't really a huge deal (nor was it difficult to get two pallies to judge it) but it falls in line with that line of thinking.
The removal of Judgement of Wisdom is easy to understand--- they don't want people easily gaining that much mana in Cataclysm.
Think about how many ways a paladin has to regain mana himself, and to restore mana to his team. There's a reason pallies today are nigh unstoppable healing machines, even in a world where healers hardly ever run out of mana.
They simply want to reduce the amount of mana a paladin can get back and give back, otherwise in the Cataclysm world where mana matters, raids will be benching others for their token paladin. Or at least, I think that's the dev's fear.
One reason I'm sure that Seal+Judgements are taking back seat to Holy Power as our unique mechanic is that, at least in it's current implementation, not all specs get enough benefit out of Judgements. Ret paladins get the most, and Prot pallys have decent use for it as well, but especially for Holy Paladins it is an irritating mechanic to deal with for two reasons.
One - It's not really helpful on it's own but absolutely necessary to use. The healing from Judging Light, while nice, doesn't boost our healing all that much, since most of it will be overhealing. But we need to do it for the haste buff.
Two - Since Judgements are considered melee attacks, even though we as Holy Paladins have a 40 yd range, the GCD is still 1.5s after Judging. That means every time we Judge we have a longer wait before we can start pumping out heals again, in which time the tanks can dip dangerously low.

Felicity vs the First Kiss | Chuck AU Olicity | Arrow; Chuck AU
She rounded the Nerd Herd counter to try and find Thea on the sales floor, but instead ran into a solid chest, one belonging to Oliver Queen. The possibilities that ran through Felicity's mind all ended with her locked in a room somewhere, so when Oliver touched her arm and leaned in, Felicity froze, closing her eyes. The next thing she knew, Oliver's lips were on hers, gentle but insistent. When he pulled away, Felicity kept her eyes closed, not sure what she would find when she opened them, but not wanting the moment to end either.
girlwithsixsmiles has been writing a totally awesome Chuck AU Arrow series, and I wanted to draw something for it. After going through a pile of discarded ideas, I finally came to this. This is one of my favorite scenes in the fic, so I guess it's only natural I ended up drawing it. And it was a lot of fun to draw! Plus I've been wanting to draw something for this AU idea for months now, so yeah. This worked out nicely. Check out the story, it's a wonderful read, even if you don't know the Chuck verse. It's two parts so far:
Felicity vs the Origin story | Felicity vs the New Neighbor

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Four months after a 5-year-old boy died, and an autopsy report is released, the child's father is still asking why.
Jacob Longenecker says it's impossible for him not to think about his son, Justin everyday, and the life the 5-year-old could have had. Perhaps what's worse is the fact that days, weeks and now months have gone by and still no closure.
Justin was vibrant 5-year-old boy, full of life. "He always had a big smile on his face," said his father Jacob Longenecker.
But on December 23rd, 2009, Justin Longenecker took his last breath. His father Jacob, of Houston, says four months later he still doesn't know what exactly happened. "A 5-year-old baby boy with no prior health condition or anything like that does not go to sleep and then never wake up again," said Longenecker.
Longenecker has full custody of his two sons, 7-year-old Jacob, Jr. and 5-year-old Justin, but back in November of 2008, Longenecker was deployed to Iraq and his kids came to live with his ex-wife, their mother, in Lubbock. "I knew I signed up for the military that was going to happen and that was nothing I could control," said Longenecker.
Longenecker says he was back home in Houston in November of 2009, but that the kids were going to stay with their mother through Christmas. He says he couldn't wait to see them. "There was a lot of things I was wanting to do with them, we had stuff planned," said Longenecker.
But Longenecker never saw Justin alive again. According to the police report, he was found not breathing after falling asleep on the living room couch, he was later pronounced dead at University Medical Center. At the time the two boys were at home with a babysitter.
"We're automatically going to look at that as a suspicious death. Detectives were called out to the scene and began investigating it from that perspective," said Captain Greg Stevens with the Lubbock Police Department.
CPS also launched an investigation, because of past case files in Lubbock. "We got a preliminary indication that there were no signs of abuse or neglect of course if there were something else to come out later based upon further autopsy results we would take a look and reopen the case," said Greg Cunningham with CPS.
But fast forward, four months, and still no official cause of death. "All we want is just the answer as to what really happened that day for him to pass away," said Longenecker.
"I don't think four months would be unusual. Particularly if you look at the report and you see the number of things that has to be looked at, and we did that," said Natarajan.
On Thursday, during our interview, Dr. Sridhar Natarajan released a cause and manner of death, and at this time both are listed as 'undetermined' which is what will be printed on Justin's death certificate.
"I would just like to say that when we use the term undetermined that doesn't mean we don't know what's going on. There are a number of things that have been excluded but there are still some gaps that cannot be quite answered at this point," said Natarajan.
Natarajan adds child deaths can be very complicated. "I don't know if it's going to make the family feel like there's anything resolved but we can look at a lot of things that we can exclude as a reason, and that takes time," said Natarajan.
But Longenecker says he is still left without peace of mind. "It feels like they didn't do a 110% on trying to find a cause of death," he said.
All this dad can do now, is remember the short life that brought him a lifetime of memories. "I'm going to miss that smile, I'm going to miss him running around causing ruckus, I'm going to miss everything," said Longenecker.
Stevens tells us if new clues are found in the death of Justin, the case could be looked at again.

Anonymous from MA– Verified Buyer
Great waffle maker!! It was shipped quickly and with no issues and the service was good! It works great and it's good quality
Great product!
Darney Mamman from Allen Park, MI– Verified Buyer
This is an authentic Belgian style waffle maker which works wonderfully, cooks perfectly and evenly, and makes for very little and easy clean-up. Potential buyers should keep in mind that Belgian style waffles are typically thinner with just a slightly crisp exterior - these will be considerably less "clunkier" that your average Eggo waffle. This waffle maker delivers on the traditional Belgian style stuff.
Love it!
Tracey from Auburn, WA– Verified Buyer
This is my first waffle iron and I love it. I did not know that waffles could be so easy! We love the hearts too. The waffles come out very easily. Be sure and let the rest on a cooling rack so moisture does not accumulate on the bottom surface.

The complete stories by Zora Neale Hurston ( Book )
19 editions published between 1991 and 2008 in English and held by 1,836 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This landmark gathering of Zora Neale Hurston's short fiction - most of which appeared only in literary magazines during her lifetime and some of which has never been published - reveals the evolution of the talents of one of the most important African-American writers. Spanning the years from 1921, when Howard University's literary magazine published "John Redding Goes to Sea," to 1955, when Hurston was working on different versions of the story of the beheading of John the Baptist as told by Salome's mother, five years before her death, these stories attest to the author's tremendous range at the same time as they establish themes that recur in her longer fiction." "In such stories as "Spunk," "The Gilded Six-Bits," and "The Conscience of the Court," Hurston's customary use of metaphor and black dialect enriches her simple narratives and brings her characters vividly to life. Folklore, the cornerstone of Hurston's fiction, is integral to such stories as "Cock Robin Beale Street," "Book of Harlem," and "'Possum or Pig?" Biblical themes, another trademark Hurston offering, appear in "The Seventh Veil" and "The Bone of Contention." These and the other stories in this collection map, in rich language and imagery, Hurston's development and concerns as a writer and provide an invaluable reflection of the mind and imagination of the author of the acclaimed novel Their Eyes Were Watching God."--BOOK JACKET
Their eyes were watching God by Zora Neale Hurston ( Recording )
34 editions published between 1991 and 2008 in 3 languages and held by 1,725 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Janie Crawford, a Southern Black woman in the 1930s, journeys from being a free-spirited girl to a woman of independence and substance
Zora Neale Hurston collected plays by Zora Neale Hurston ( )
8 editions published in 2008 in English and held by 1,545 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Though she died penniless and forgotten, Zora Neale Hurston is now recognized as a major figure in African American literature. Best known for her 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, she also published numerous short stories and essays, three other novels, and two books on black folklore. Even avid readers of Hurston's prose, however, may be surprised to know that she was also a serious and ambitious playwright throughout her career. Although several of her plays were produced during her lifetime-and some to public acclaim-they have languished in obscurity for years. Even now, most critics and historians gloss over these texts, treating them as supplementary material for understanding her novels. Yet, Hurston's dramatic works stand on their own merits and independently of her fiction. Now, eleven of these forgotten dramatic writings are being published together for the first time in this carefully edited and annotated volume. Filled with lively characters, vibrant images of rural and city life, biblical and folk tales, voodoo, and, most importantly, the blues, readers will discover a "real Negro theater" that embraces all the richness of black life
Mule bone : a comedy of Negro life by Langston Hughes ( Book )
8 editions published between 1931 and 2008 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,348 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The only literary collaboration between Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, this play marked a turning point in African-American theater. This volume tells the story of the play's conception and inspiration and gives complete details of the irreparable rift in Hurston and Hughes's friendship that came about because of it. Also included is Hurston's short story, "Bone of Contention"

Sweat by Zora Neale Hurston ( Book )
4 editions published in 1997 in English and held by 874 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Now frequently anthologized, Zora Neale Hurston's short story "Sweat" was first published in Fire!!, a legendary literary magazine of the Harlem Renaissance, whose sole issue appeared in November 1926. In "Sweat" Hurston claimed the voice that animates her mature fiction, notably the 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God; the themes of marital conflict and the development of spiritual consciousness were introduced as well. "Sweat" exemplifies Hurston's lifelong concern with women's relation to language and the literary possibilities of black vernacular." "This casebook for this story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the author's life, the authoritative text of "Sweat," and a second story, "The Gilded Six-Bits." Published in 1932, this second story was written after Hurston had spent years conducting fieldwork in the southern United States

Whitney Harris and Joseph Holley
How We Met
We met over 9 years ago when I was a freshman in high school and he was a junior. We came to know each other through mutal friends. We are high school sweethearts and have been together for over 9 years now. We are blessed to have found each other. First Love, Last Love, Forever Love!
How We Got Engaged
Joseph and I took a weekend long vacation to go camping on the Edisto River in a treehouse. The adventure started by canoeing 13 miles to our destination which took close to 5 hours and we were exhausted when we finally arrived. After cooking an awesome dinner which consisted of grilled pork chops, corn on the cobb, green beans and a baked potato we ventured outside under the treehouse to this huge deck right on the river. We read our couples devotional and after we finished Joseph went upstairs to get "something to drink". When he returned he said he had something to read to me titled "My Bestfriend". As he read this beautiful poem, my eyes quickly filled with tears. While reading the last line, he preceeds to get down on one knee and opens this box. I couldn't see the ring at first because of the tears but as I wiped them away all I could see was this beautiful ring! Of course I said yes and he has made me the most happiest girl in the world and I can't wait to become his wife! After all the emotions and excitement settled down, he explains to me the reason he wanted to bring me to this place. You see I have never really been camping and this was taking me out of my comfort zone. Away from running water, electricity and civilization. He wanted to show me that he will take care of me not only while we were in the middle of no where but also for the rest of our lives.
Our Shared Interests
We love to hunt and shoot together!

Description: Classic Vampire film about a teenager who learns that his next door neighbor is a vampire, and no one will believe him....
The Film:
''FRIGHT NIGHT'' has a lot more personality than the usual horror
film, which is a distinctly mixed blessing. It tells of a nice
teen-ager, played by William Ragsdale, who becomes alarmed at the
possibility that a dapper vampire may have moved next door. To
investigate the secret life of this soigne neighbor (played by Chris
Sarandon, who's made a specialty out of playing smug, slightly
dissipated heavies), he enlists the help of an over-the-hill screen
Charley (Ragsdale) has seen a coffin being carried into the house next door and a corpse being dragged out, but no one will take him seriously. In desperation he enlists a TV vampire killer, who's initially charmed by neighbour-from-hell Jerry (Sarandon), before noticing the absence of his reflection in a mirror. A farrago of cartoonish exaggeration (mouthfuls of fangs, razor-sharp talons and eyes like burning coals), knowing humour and '80s camp, it shouldn't even begin to work, and yet, strangely, it does, sort of, thanks to the assured handling of writer/director Holland, and two performances in particular - Geoffreys as Charley's pal Evil, and McDowall as the timid vampire killer. The music helps, covering an ambitious range from piano-murdering suspense-raisers, through disco fodder, to a Sparks tune, 'Armies of the Night', by Ron and Russell Mael.Excerpt from TimeOut Film Guide located HERE
Image : NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.
Fright Night is advertised as being limited to 3,000 copies on Blu-ray from Twilight Time - the company who have brought us titles like The Egyptian and The Mysterious Island on Blu-ray as well as DVDs like Fate is the Hunter, The Kremlin Letter and Violent Saturday. It looks okay for a single-layered transfer. Colors appear true without bolstering manipulations, detail is decent and there is even some depth seen in the 2.35:1 frame. There is a small amount of noise in a couple of the darker scenes but overall I'd say this looks significantly superior than how SD could relate the visuals due to the superior contrast. The effects are a bit dated but the Blu-ray's 1080P resolution doesn't expose anything as too 'cheesy'. This transfer provides solid image quality producing a surprising home-theater presentation.
Audio :
The DTS-HD Master 5.1 at 3794 kbps seems to extract every drop it can from the film's score some effect sounds that sweep to the rear speakers. I wouldn't say anything was crisp but there are some more gentle surprises with ghoulish sounds, screams and Brad Fiedel's supportive score. All good - if not great. There is also the ability to hone in on the isolated score in a less robust lossless stereo transfer. There are optional English (SDH) subtitles and my Momitsu has identified it as being a region FREE disc playable on Blu-ray machines worldwide.
Extras :
Aside from the aforementioned isolated score there are only 2 Trailers and some liner notes in the box by Julie Kirgo.

About the Reviewer: Hello, fellow Beavers! I have been interested in film since I viewed a Chaplin festival on PBS when I was around 9 years old. I credit DVD with expanding my horizons to fill an almost ravenous desire to seek out new film experiences. I currently own approximately 9500 DVDs and have reviewed over 3500 myself. I appreciate my discussion Listserv for furthering my film education and inspiring me to continue running DVDBeaver. Plus a healthy thanks to those who donate and use our Amazon links.
Although I never wanted to become one of those guys who
focused 'too much' on image and sound quality - I
find HD is swiftly pushing me in that direction.

Odd path thing going on
Hi all,
I've just set up WP3.0 and Buddypress on the domain "issosogay.com" with subdomains (host hasn't enabled wildcards yet so they won't work, but I know they will do as I've used WPMU on them before). All semeed to be fine, but a friend registered a test account and instead of the expected "scott.issosogay.com" URL, it gave him "http://scott.issosogay.comissosogay_com".
When I go into Super Admin > Sites and Edit the 'Scott' site, I see the Path box has "issosogay_com/" in it. The domain box correctly gives scott.issosogay.com. I can't see where this is set or I can change it, or why it's being appended to the URL when subdomains are being used.
I imagine this is something incredibly simple but if someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

Lots of questions these days deal with agriculture's prospects once the snow is history. According to MSU District Extension Fruit and Marketing Educator Bill Shane this winter's seemingly unending chain of storms has provided protection for parts of plants under the snow. He says this is particularly helpful for more tender crops like blackberries, vinifera grapes and hops. Shane says even if plant tops are winter damaged they can sometimes re-generate from lower sections protected by snow. As for a good early indicator of the season's impact – Shane says keep watching forsythia. The plant's bright yellow blooms are often the first shot of springtime color in your yard or across the rural landscape. Where snowfall covered forsythia there'll be the normal flowering…but above snow line where it was exposed you won't see flowers due to cold damage. You may also see lasting effects on an orchard's tree trunks caused by solar reflection off the snow heating the southwest corner of the tree. Shane says once the sun sets a rapid temperature drop may kill growing tissue under the bark causing the tree to have a flattened appearance. By the end of the month warmer air flowing toward Michigan should remove some of the snow enabling you to scout for the season's effect on your property.

Crunch Time: Salty SnacksDate: 06/01/11 | Source: Specialty Food Magazine | Author: Eva Meszaros
Categories: Trends and Statistics; Market Trends; Consumer Stats | Tags: Chip; Cured Meat; Nut; Popcorn; Pretzel; Research Spotlight; Snack
These treats were consumer go-to items right through the recession—and future prospects look good for continuing sales. But new challenges, including the increasing price of corn and public concern about nutrition, mean pressures and changes in this market.
by Eva Meszaros
As one of the most diverse categories in the consumer packaged goods industry, salty snacks generated $23.8 billion in total U.S. sales, according to Mintel International. The modest prices of most salty snacks give customers the image of an affordable indulgence, which kept sales up through the economic recession. The category has been growing continually since 2005, but, after garnering negative attention for its poor nutritional value and view as a contributor to the nation's obesity epidemic, manufacturers and retailers are at a crossroads in finding a balance between offering fun, affordable treats and providing better-for-you snack options.
Mintel's report defines salty snacks to include the following categories: potato chips, tortilla chips, snack nuts and seeds (including toasted corn nuts), pretzels, popcorn, extruded cheese snacks (e.g., Cheetos), corn snacks, meat snacks and "other" snacks (including pork rinds, onion rings, snack mixes and vegetable chips).
The Market
Key Points
- Sales of salty snacks are at an all-time high, having actually peaked during the recession. Sales slowed in 2010 as the national focus shifted to health and nutrition, but the category is expected to pick up throughout 2011–2015.
- Snack nuts and seeds and popcorn saw high numbers in product launches during 2005–2010; chips accounted for the largest number of flavor launches in this period. Cheese has become a popular ingredient in new product launches and continues to appear in a variety of product types.
- As the overall population grows older and the number of households with children decreases, the salty snack industry needs to ensure that it stays relevant to an older demographic while continuing to appeal to its core younger market.
- The doubled price of corn, a key ingredient for many salty snacks, may force raised prices, leading to potential growth of private-label brands, or a drop-off of sales.
Potato chips remain the largest segment with $6.8 billion in sales in 2010; this segment shows the most willingness to develop new flavors to impress the young market. Corn snacks, already the smallest segment, was the only one to have a sales decline between 2008–2010.
Salty snacks face competition from healthier snacks (such as those containing fruit), as well as snack/cereal/energy bars, which accounted for the largest amount of snack introductions in 2005–2010.
The Consumer
Key Points
- According to Mintel's consumer survey, consumers generally stick to favorites or a usual flavor when it comes to buying salty snacks, followed by price and in-store marketing; few indicated being impacted by health claims.
- Potato chips are the top pick in salty snacks among all age groups. Plantain chips are picking up, with popularity among the 18–34 age group and low-income homes.
- Asian and Hispanic populations have been buying more salty snacks in the past year; this bodes well for the category, as these are some of the fastest growing ethnic populations, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Name brands dominate over private label, but survey respondents switch among name brands.
- While healthier salty snacks have yet to resonate with consumers, it is important for manufacturers to continue pushing the concept of healthier snacks to avoid losing a sizable portion of the snacking population.
A cluster analysis distinguishing three types of salty-snacks eaters—frequent, occasional and low—found that the frequent snackers care most about quality and healthy options, occasional snackers (the largest group) care about price and brand, and low snackers care about price and taste.
Multipack and bulk varieties have a slight edge in sales over single-serving packs across many demographics. They are more appealing and affordable for households with children. Men are more likely to buy single packs, while women are more likely to buy multipacks.
The recession has forced many consumers to cut back and spend more time at home. The salty snacks category has benefited from this, as the overwhelming majority of respondents indicate that increased home time whether alone or with family is why they are buying more salty snacks.
For consumers who have cut back on salty snacks, the overwhelming majority say that these products are simply an expense they choose to live without. The only other significant reason is related to a change in eating habits or diet. This is perhaps of more concern because the increased media attention on America's obesity problem is likely to make a sizable percentage of consumers reconsider salty snacks as they look to eat better.

EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in RMTI with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas. See the FREE profile for RMTI NOW at Trade-Ideas More details on RMTI: Rockwell Medical, Inc. operates as an integrated biopharmaceutical company in the United States and internationally. Currently there are 2 analysts that rate Rockwell Medical a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold. The average volume for Rockwell Medical has been 1.2 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Rockwell Medical has a market cap of $221.1 million and is part of the health care sector and drugs industry. The stock has a beta of 1.33 and a short float of 39.2% with 2.26 days to cover. Shares are down 31.2% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12-months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Rockwell Medical as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins, weak operating cash flow, generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself and generally high debt management risk. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Health Care Equipment & Supplies industry and the overall market, ROCKWELL MEDICAL INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The gross profit margin for ROCKWELL MEDICAL INC is currently extremely low, coming in at 12.60%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -91.35% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$21.53 million or 232.03% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.16 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. Despite the company's weak debt-to-equity ratio, the company has managed to keep a very strong quick ratio of 2.71, which shows the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- RMTI's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 29.47%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

This is the cheapest of "nice" hotels I have stayed at in China. Wifi a little patchy but fast. Carpets on 9th floor need replacing like other floors. Well stocked bathroom with shower over bath. Plenty of plugs in room. Hard bed but slept well. Will definitely choose again for business travel.

Pébrine is a disease of silkworms, which is caused by microsporidian parasites, mainly Nosema bombycis and to a lesser extent Variomorpha, Pleistophora and Thelophania species.
The silkworm larvae infected by pébrine are usually covered in brown dots and are unable to spin silkworm thread. Louis Pasteur was the first one to recognize the cause of this disease when a plague of the disease spread across France.
Nosema bombycis is a microsporidium that kills all of the silkworms hatched from infected eggs and comes from the food that silkworms eat. If silkworms get this microsporidium in their larval stage, there are no visible symptoms; however, mother moths will pass the microsporidium onto the eggs, and all of the worms hatching from the infected eggs will die in their larva stage. Therefore, it is extremely important to rule out all eggs from infected moths by checking the moth's body fluid under a microscope.

Solah Baras Ki (Cover)
Lyrics & Chords
Hi all,
This is one of my all favourite songs… Thanks to Sapna for sharing the Karaoke Track….
Originally sung by Lata Mangeshkar
Music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal
Movie: Ek Duje Ke Liye
Koshish Kar Ke Dekh Le
Dariya Saare Nadiya Saari
Dil Ki Lagi Nahin Bujhti,
Bujhti Hai Har Chingari
Solah Baras Ki Baali Umar Ko Salaam
Aye Pyar Teri Pehli Nazar Ko Salaam
Duniya Mein Sabse Pehle Dilbar Ko Salaam
Dilse Nikalne Waale Raste Ka Shukriya
Dil Tak Pahunchne Wali Dagar Ko Salaam
Aye Pyar Teri ….
Jis Mein Jawaan Hokar Badnaam Hum Huye
Us Shehar Us Gali Us Ghar Ko Salaam
Jisne Humein Milaaya, Jisne Juda Kiya
Us Waqt, Us Ghadi, Us Pal Ko Salaam
Aye Pyar Teri….
Milte Rahe Yahan Hum Yeh Hai Jahan Likha
Us Likhavat Ki Jero Jabar Ko Salaam
In Mast Gehri Gehri Aankhon Ke Jheel Mein
Jisne Humein Duboya Us Bhanwar Ko Salaam
Ghoonghat Ko Todkar Jo Sarse Sarak Gayi
Aisi Nigodi Dhani Chunar Ko Salam
Aye Pyar Teri….
Ulfat Ke Dushmano Ne Koshish Hazar Ki
Phir Bhi Nahin Jhuki Jo Us Nazar Ko Salaam
Aye Pyar Teri….
