The cover story of bp Magazine's new fall issue takes readers behind the scenes of the Tony Award-winning show Next to Normal. With charm, compassion and a rocking beat, Next to Normal presents a suburban mom with bipolar and her family's journey toward hope and healing—and in the process, becomes a powerful ally in educating audiences.
Tackling stigma from the stage
by Nancy Tobin
Editor's note: The original Broadway musical Next to Normal opened in April at New York City's famed Booth Theatre to rave reviews and excited audiences. With its theme of family dysfunction and a suburban mother with bipolar disorder as the main character, Next to Normal seemed an unlikely vehicle to become a smash hit. The show received 11 Tony nominations for the 2009 season and won three Tonys at the June 7 awards ceremony at Radio City Music Hall. The Tonys recognize achievement for live American performances on Broadway and have been awarded annually in New York for 63 years.
A crowd of perhaps 150 theatre patrons gathers expectantly outside New York's Booth Theatre stage door, waiting for members of the six-person cast of Next to Normal to emerge. Shifting weight, chatting excitedly, the diverse group holds programs, cell phones, T-shirts, and cameras, ready to gather autographs and photos. They will not be disappointed.
When a beaming Alice Ripley steps outside, a roar of applause greets the actor who, just 20 minutes earlier, took her bows onstage in the musical's central role of Diana Goodman. Ripley graciously meets and speaks to every person who has waited, as she does after each of eight weekly performances.
How can it be that a rock opera—about a suburban mom whose bipolar disorder roils her family's life—can win Broadway's buzz, enjoy critical success, and boast booming ticket sales at the same time?
"We tried to write a musical that goes to the heart of the human condition… one that is about healing, that shows a family trying to improve," says composer Tom Kitt during a telephone interview. "There is a lot of hope in this show. That's the way life is," he says.
Next to Normal's trip to Broadway had an inconspicuous start and followed an indirect path. The production that opened in New York has a different name, shape, and format from the 10-minute musical sketch that Kitt and lyricist Brian Yorkey wrote as the final project for a workshop more than 11 years ago.
"We picked the subject of bipolar disorder for the project because it was different and challenging and very compelling to us," says Yorkey, who with Kitt won the Tony for Best Original Score. "We thought people would hate it, but they responded to it positively from the very first. Really, at every step along the way, we kept hearing that same strong response and that's what kept
it and us moving."
The two collaborators have been writing music and lyrics together since they met as undergraduates at Columbia University 15 years ago. They describe their working system as "seamless" and, quite literally, speak with a single voice. They agree that Hair, Tommy, and more recently, Rent—another rock opera built around a contemporary slice of life—are the Broadway forbears of Next to Normal. Kitt, with Michael Starobin, also won a Tony for Best Orchestrations.
"Exposing the stigma of mental illness is one of the reasons we wrote the show, why we pursued telling this story," says Yorkey. "We both feel that an awful lot of people try to live up to a standard of what they consider 'normal' and that actually can be as destructive as anything."
Kitt and Yorkey say that they worked hard to ensure that Diana's bipolar symptoms were both comprehensible to audiences and accurately portrayed. "What she has, as her doctor says during the show, is a collection of symptoms," Yorkey adds. "Oftentimes, the best a doctor can do is to put a name to those symptoms and try to treat it, as he does."
A pair of psychiatrists introduced into the script as influential characters are convincingly played by a single actor (Louis Hobson). In these well-researched roles, each physician proposes a different treatment strategy for the frayed Alice. Meanwhile, her long-suffering and caring husband Dan (played by J. Robert Spencer) loves his wife's vibrancy and energy, but longs for a peaceful household and, once in a while, a calm dinner table for the family. Dan is steadfast in promoting treatment—any treatment—that will calm his wife's mania…

One thing you can do is download the welding calculator app from this website. Go to the resources tab and click on weld calculators and there will be an app that can be downloaded to your smartphone and always be available to you.

It's a start, so kudos to the administration for this... If Bechtel wins, it will still stink, but will smell like a rose compared to Halliburton if they had won.
Seeing that Bechtel and Fluor are still in, I'll bet Bechtel will win this bid. They have a few connections to this and daddy's administration. They are also bigger political donors to the GOP. I did the math and Bechtel gave the GOP $765,500 vs. Fluor's $275,180.
Bechtel is privately owned, so it is a little harder to dig up information on them. Let's take a look at some of their officers:
http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/C...es/bechtel.htmGeorge Schultz worked for Bechtel for 6 years as the vice-chairman of three of Bechtelââ¬â¢s subsidiaries before becoming president of the company. Shortly after assuming his new position in Bechtel, President Reagan invited him to Washington to be his secretary of state. His friendship with Bechtel has continued to the present day as he currently sits on its board of directors.
Caspar Weinburger was Reaganââ¬â¢s Secretary of Defense was a former Bechtel general counsel.
W. Kenneth Davis was a Bechtel vice-president for nuclear development before he was appointed as Reaganââ¬â¢s deputy secretary of Energy and head of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
William Casey a former Bechtel consultant served in a number of government positions including chairman of the SEC under Nixon, head of the Export-Import bank under Ford, and director of the CIA under Reagan.
Richard Helm, who later became a ââ¬Ëconsultantââ¬â¢ to Bechtel, had earlier been a CIA director under Nixon.
Ross Connelly, former CEO of Bechtel Energy Resources Corporation, was appointed by George Bush in June of 2001 to the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) as its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The OPIC is a U.S. government agency that provides risk insurance and loans to American businesses.
Stew Burkhammer, a current Bechtel executive, is presently a member of the Occupational Safety and Health Administrationââ¬â¢s (OSHA) Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and Health. OSHA is the U.S. government agency charged with protecting the interests of workers by enforcing health and safety laws in the workplace.
Joanne White, vice-president of Bechtel International, Inc. is a board member of the U.S. - Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Amcham, as it's called, is a "private, non-profit business organization representing the interests of present and potential U.S. investors in Azerbaijan. Established in 1996, Amcham is committed to the principles of ethical business practices, free trade, open markets, private enterprise, and the unrestricted flow of information. During its brief existence, The American Chamber of Commerce in Azerbaijan has established itself as the principal organization representing Western business interests in Azerbaijan." (Amcham n.d. Website) While it may indeed be a 'private organization', it does have close connections to the Bush administration. Richard Armitage, current deputy secretary of state was a former co-Chairman of its board, and the law firm of Bush's close friend James Baker is a long time member of the organization.

Enjoy Lunch And Help A Kid With Cancer! Getting Ready for the 15th annual CHRISTMAS WISH
We are getting ready for our 15th annual CHRISTMAS WISH coming in December, brighterning the holidays for local families where a child or parent is coping with cancer--families that don't have much to begin wth. Our goal is to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for these kids to experience a little of the joy of Christmas.
And once again SEALA is helping us out!
SEALA (Southeastern Association of Legal Assistants) is back to volunteer their help, joining with Carrabba's to raise money for Christmas Wish. Last year was a huge success - raising almost $3,000! All you do is enjoy a great lunch at Carrabbas Italian Grill in Savannah! (Eat in or they will deliver.)
Tickets are $20 per person with $12 of that going to Christmas Wish. The menu consists of Chicken Marsala, Penne Pomodoro, Caesar Salad and Bread. You can dine in or carry out. If you dine in, the presentation of your purchased ticket will include a drink and gratuity. (Normally, if you were dining in, this meal would cost $16.50, not including the drink and gratuity.) For those offices ordering at least 5 meals, a SEALA volunteer will deliver the meals to your office!!!
The date for the event is Thursday, September 12. We must have your money by September 6 (we will accept checks made payable to SEALA). If dining in, the hours are 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. All you have to do is show up during that time frame and present your purchased ticket.
We hope you will participate in this great cause. For those that do not know about Christmas Wish: Memorial Health University Medical Center (MHUMC) teams up with 98.7 The River to help local families impacted by cancer. The families do not have much. When cancer is thrown into the equation, they are in desperate need. Often, the parent(s) have to quit their jobs or miss extensive periods from work to care for the sick child. Christmas for these families is impossible without the caring gifts from others.
The staff of The Children's Hospital At Memorial writes letters about some of the hardest-hit families. The letter is addressed to Mark Robertson at 98.7 The River, who reads the letter on the air to raise money for that family. The families never receive cash; they receive gift cards or items the family wants or needs. People wishing to contribute can either adopt one or more families or they can donate to the general Christmas Wish fund. The money raised from the Carrabbas lunch will be used to help those families--and others at the hospital whose letters will not be read but who are still very much in need.
This fund raiser is a wonderful way to both donate money to this worthwhile cause while receiving a delicious meal in return!
To purchase a lunch please call ANGIE PORTER at 912-231-2730.

Nickelback headed back on tour
Nickelback has been giving fans an early holiday treat, allowing them to hear brand new music this fall on their "No Fixed Address" album. And the even better part? Everyone will get to hear it live when the band kicks off its North American tour on Valentine's Day next year at the brand new PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
"No Fixed Address" arrived November 17 and quickly spawned the hits"Edge of a Revolution" and "What Are You Waiting For?" A third song, "Get 'Em Up," also arrived in advance of the album as well.
Once Nickelback hits the road in 2015, they'll be rolling all across North America with a massive tour that will stop in 60 cities. There's a pair of legs to the tour, with the first leg set to run Feb. 14 through April 7, with the band later returning for the second leg on June 19 with shows running through Aug. 29. Nickelback recently revealed the tour news during a special announcement and concert webcast via Yahoo at the Sunset Strip House of Blues in West Hollywood, California.
Nickelback will be joined on the "No Fixed Address" tour by The Pretty Reckless on select dates. The up-and-coming rockers have enjoyed a big2014 with the release of their "Going to Hell" album and will look to keep the momentum going while warming up crowds for Nickelback.
The pre-sale for the tour began Monday, Nov. 10 through Citi's Private Pass Program. Meanwhile, members of Nickelback's fan club got access to pre-sale opportunities back on Friday, Nov. 7.
Wedding bells ring for Nickelback's Kroeger (Updated May 22, 2013)
The life of a musician (or in this case, musicians) has never been documented as much as it is now. Though the cameras and the press and the writings about Nickelback in 2013 have very little to do with their music. Instead, tongues have been wagging over frontman Chad Kroeger's pending nuptials to Avril Lavigne.
The couple got engaged in August 2012, just months after they met at a recording studio while working on new music. The "Here's To Never Growing Up" singer (that would be Lavigne) has been in planning mode for the big day ever since, revealing to various media outlets that she wants to "do something special and unique" for the wedding.
As the calendar moved to 2013, Lavigne was determined not to be separated from the band. Thus, she packed up and headed out on tour with Nickelback as they played in Australia, allowing her to see her fiance on stage for the first time.
Now, Nickelback is back in the headlines for plans to join Bon Jovi in a one-off show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 21 as part of the Because We Can world tour. The show will held one day after Bon Jovi and Nickelback perform at Rock in Rio with Matchbox Twenty.
The Because We Can tour is currently in Europe, with upcoming dates in Bulgaria and Austria.
About Nickelback
Canadian rock band Nickelback is synonymous with the rough vocals and slick, commercial production of bands that emerged in the late 90's. Though they initially failed to gain traction north of the border, "How You Remind Me" shot to the top of the charts in 2001, while garnering four Grammy nominations and 4 Juno Awards. It has helped the band not only eclipse other acts, but become one of the top-selling artists of the last decade.
Fronted by guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, Nickelback's music is a mix of hard rock, alt rock and post-grunge. The band achieved mainstream success with the album, "Silver Side Up," which contained "How You Remind Me," but it was the follow-up effort, "The Long Road," which spawned five singles and cemented the Nickelback's status as one of the best rock bands in music. The track "Someday" peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit No. 1 on the Canadian Singles Chart, and challenged the band to up its game even more.
Nickelback's biggest album to date, "All the Right Reasons," bowed October 4, 2005 and produced three top 10 singles and 5 top 20 singles. Songs like "Photograph," "Far Away" and "Rockstar" are still some of the most-played on hit music and rock radio stations everywhere. The project "Dark Horse" followed, and with it came an astonishing eight singles, while the band's 2011 effort, "Here and Now," again topped the charts.
The North American leg of the "Here and Now Tour" kicked off April 10, 2012 at the i Wireless Center in Moline, Illinois and wrapped at the end of July in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It also stopped in England, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and Japan to close out 2012.
Nickelback Is Hitting the Road for 2015
The band that everyone loves to hate has got a new album coming out. Nickelback's No Fixed Address is dropping on November 17, and the band will be hitting the road for a good chunk of 2015 to promote it. They'll kick things off at the PPL Center in Allentown, PA, on February 14 (hot…Read more

Friday the 13th (2009): Killer Cut
Reviewer: Rhett
Review Date: June 14, 2009
Released by: New Line Cinema
Release date: 6/16/2009
Region A, HDTV
Codec: VC1, 1080p
Widescreen 2.35:1 | 16x9: Yes
It was a tough couple decades being a Jason fan. Jason set sail away from Crystal Lake with the lowest grossing entry in the series,
Jason Takes Manhattan
, and was sufficiently declared shipwrecked by Paramount. New Line picked up the property shortly after, but things hardly got better. Four years passed before they finally did something with the property, and what did they do? They tried to kill of Jason. Not only did
Jason Goes to Hell
dub itself The Final Friday, but it also gave the guy his least amount of screen time since becoming the killer in
Part 2
. Making matters even worse, he was basically turned into a black beating heart that possessed any who inadvertently bit into it. Is that the kind of fate a guy who only ever did what his mama told him deserves?
Realizing they made a mistake, New Line decided to bring Jason, body and soul, back as the killer we all know and love for their next sequel a long eight years later. Good news, right? It was until they decided to go all
the Apollo 13th
on the franchise. Yeah, they sent him into space. Not only that, but they sent him way into the future, effectively killing off any chance of picking up the series continuity afterwards. Ask
Critters 4
you dont recover when you get sent to space.
Jason X
proved another tank for the guy who was once the undisputed boogeyman of the eighties. Regarding
Jason X
for the tangent that it was,
Freddy vs. Jason
helped restore a bit of luster to the man behind the mask, letting him do what he does best. Still, he was Freddys bitch, and hardly the main attraction he once was. In the twenty years since he left for Manhattan, Jason was only in three movies, compared to the eight hed headlined in nine years from 1980 to 1989. One as a spirit, the other in space, and the last one as a dream puppet. What just happened to wearing a mask and killing campers?
Well, fans begged and begged for the better part of this century for Jason to humbly return to Crystal Lake to find new ways to kill the same old teenagers. Finally, in 2009, Platinum Dunes, who had revived other defunct franchises like
Texas Chainsaw
The Amityville Horror
, took up the task and promised fans a faithful revival of our favorite machete man. With the remake on February 13th came special editions of the first three films, the television series and now the next three films in the franchise. Suddenly, those 20 years of pain seemed almost worth the wait. How was the actual film, though? The reboot to dial back the kitsch and make Jason the scary, uncompromising beast thats tarnished the dreams of teenagers for almost three decades now. It did some killer business on its opening
Friday the 13th
, but now on DVD and Blu-ray, does it have the longevity to survive?
The Story
There is nothing like a flashback to previous events to start off any good
Friday the 13th
entry. This ones a reboot, and they dont have the rights to the old Paramount footage, but god blessem, they do it anyway. We get an opening sequence interspersed with credits, where, on a rainy, high contrast, black and white night, some young chick hacks the head off this older lady spouting something about not watching her little boy. The head falls to the ground, and whos there to pick it up? Little mongoloid Jason. Flash forward several years, and we get a bunch of young teenagers backpacking in the woods. Oh yeah, thats right, theyre probably on their way to the cabins for summer camp, right? No, that was so 1980. These days, kids like to go searching in the woods for giant cannabis plantations. Thats edgier. Cell phones and GPSes let these little turds down, and they end up camping out overnight in what looks like deserted wilderness. They forgot that where theres pot, theres Jason, and hack hack hack, theyre dead.
Further time has passed, and Clay Miller (
Jared Padalecki
House of Wax
) is riding through the countryside trying to find his sister, Whitney (
Amanda Righetti
Return to the House on Haunted Hill
), one of the pot hunter victims. While posting flyers at a convenience store not far from the killings, he runs into another batch of horny teens looking to let loose in frat boy Trents (
Travis Van Winkle
) parents cabin. We get
An Asian Pothead, A Nebbish Dark Haired Girl Who Is Nice Enough To Say Sorry When She Hears About Clays Sister, A Black Rap Producer, A Blonde Slut and I think a couple more that are equally vapid but less noticeable. They have some fun bringing out a bong from a pelican case, because again, drugs are really cool and modern, and playing a game where you drink beer out of an old sneaker. Whatever happened to Strip Monopoly? They have their fun, but as the sun sets, a new partygoer joins the festivities.
No, not Jason, but Clay, who suffered Some Plot Contrivance With His Bike To Make Him Stranded With The Rest Of The Group He Doesnt Get Along With. Jasons out there, though, and he revs up the attack shortly after. First he does away with the sack over his head by scoring a hockey mask from a hillbilly masturbating in a barn (yep) and then tunnels through his underground catacombs ( yep) to do away with these horny teenagers once again. It turns out Whitneys actually still alive and being held captive, so the big question becomes wholl end up the final girl? Will it be the goodhearted love interest for Clay, the sex tape making blonde or Clays own sister? Just how phallic is that knife of Jasons?
I really wanted to see this movie done right. I mean, really, really, wanted to see it done right. Jason deserved better than hed been getting the last twenty years, and taking the series back to basics seemed like the perfect thing to do. They even reunited Marcus Nispel with the original
Texas Chainsaw
cinematographer, Daniel Pearl, in hopes of striking up the same (relative) magic they achieved with the remake for
Texas Chainsaw
. They didnt just recreate the same magic, they recreated the same damn film. Contrary to what Pieces will tell you, you go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre and you go to New Jersey for a summer camp slaughter. Gone is that colorful, leafy east coast forest, instead replaced by viny southern marsh. The whole thing that made the original
stand out back in the day was that it was this wilderness that no filmmakers ever dared shoot in, but everyone collectively remembered. In the remake, its the same ol Texas backdrops that have come to define hick horror since the first
Texas Chainsaw
. They should have just called the film
The Texas Machete Massacre
Dwelling further on the
Texas Chainsaw
connection, Daniel Pearls cinematography is equally as out of place in a
film as vines and crops of cannabis. The original
s had a no frills simplicity to the visuals, drawing on the direct cinema aesthetic that would define arthouse cinema from Montreal to New York throughout the sixties and seventies. Even if steadicam shots or dynamic compositions may have been tough to orchestrate, the films always had a deceptive simplicity behind them, which made the chaos ensuing in the frame that much more unnerving. Here, Pearl is doing everything he can to draw attention to the aesthetic, running around and never leaving his camera at a standstill. Just in case you really didnt know he was the DP on the
Texas Chainsaw
remake, he virtually recreates the dolly through the van shot right from the get go. The cuts are just as fast and kinetic, forcing intensity and unrest through technical tricks rather than planned storytelling like the original films. That kind of thing worked for the homegrown feel of the original
Texas Chainsaw
, but here it feels like a total cheat.
Now, considering it is all the same crew from the previous
Texas Chainsaw
remake, they can almost be forgiven for not being able to stray far enough from their original template. The scripting mistakes though, are another matter completely. Honestly, the
Friday the 13th
template is about as simple as they come. Guy in a mask, cabins in the woods, legends from the locals and inventive deaths a plenty. Well, okay, they got the mask thing right, and having the potato sack was admittedly a nice touch. Getting it from a masturbating hillbilly ehh, Ill stick with Shelly. Thats about it, though. You see the Welcome to Crystal Lake sign, and even if its Texas you think oh, how Ive missed thee. Then it turns out to be a thick jungle with a couple dilapidated totems, a giant cryptic house (Id imagine it was the last one on the left, too) and a turned over school bus. Where the fuck are the cabins? Where are the awesome recantations of Jasons legend by the townsfolk? How did a bus drive through a jungle fit for Predator? In this remake, the Voorhees family lived in the woods in an old creepy house. No no no. The whole tragedy of the original story is that Jason is just a regular city kid at camp unable to swim. Having the whole mythology unfold in that creepy old house in the woods removes any pathos, since anyone weird enough to live off by themselves in the scariest of old houses is practically preordained a serial killer. Here Jason isnt thrown into the role of killer out of sad tragedy, hes inherited like Dracula before him by living in a creepy old mansion.
The biggest tragedy with this remake is that Jason is no longer the victim. It would be customary to root for him, deep down, because he really did nothing wrong. He drowned out of negligence and saw his mother die out of love. He was a slow, simple boy that only wanted to do what his mama told him. The filmmakers made a huge mistake here, not only in making his home the clichéd scary house in the woods, but in making the guy so smart its impossible to just see him as a devout mamas boy. He hunts like Rambo, builds traps like MacGuyver and digs underground tunnels like Al Capone. He may be mute, he may be retarded, but the guy is a fucking genius in this movie. And Im sorry, but when you are that smart, you are accountable for your actions. In the originals again you get the sense that Jason doesnt understand the severity of his actions, but that hes just doing it to make his mama proud. Here, everything is so orchestrated and premeditated by critical thought, that it goes far beyond heated revenge and ends up being downright malicious, contemptible manslaughter.
Of all the things, I still cant get past the whole underground tunnel bit. Sure, it was never plausible that Jason could always just turn up at any cabin at any given time, but really, its far less plausible that hes able to develop a virtual subway spanning miles in the Texan desert. The guy is deformed, never even attended school or learned to read, and yet hes able to develop and power his own generator and setup a booby trap perimeter around his entire wooded area. Really? Is his CPU a neural net processor, too?
As smart as Jason is, hes also apparently lacking in any sort of originality. Youd think, at the very least, if Jason could devise all these traps and alternate sources of electricity that hed at least be able to think of some clever ways to off people. Yet, in
Friday the 13th
, every death is so generic - arrow to the face, axe to the back, spear to the head, machete to whatever body part is in the vicinity. Its all just simple impalements, and done with such nonchalant confidence by
Jason that it really grows tired. Even the few deaths of difference are borrowed from better movies, the sleeping bag death a takeoff from one of Kane Hodders prouder moments in
Part 7
and the antler death so derivative of
Silent Night, Deadly Night
you practically expect Jason to yell Punish! Jason was never smart in the other films, but he was so strong that he could take any object within reach and use it as an effective weapon. Whether hes stuffing a party horn down someones throat or using a gardening claw to repeatedly mince his victims, he always found something interesting. Sadly, here, Jason does whats already been done before, but its not mostly from slashers, its from even more generic action film clichés. How the mighty hath fallen.
The one mainstay that should have been an absolute no brainer was the music. Manfredini setup one of the most iconic and original templates in all of horror film lore with his ch ch ch ah ah ah-ing from the rest of the series. We get a taste of this when it plays during the company logos, but then nowhere else is it heard through the rest of the film. Instead its all empty orchestral filler by Steve Jablonsky so devoid of theme or harmony that you couldnt even find a memorable riff if you tried. Even if Crystal Lake doesnt look like Crystal Lake, or Jason doesnt act like Jason, at least at the very least, it should sound like Jason. Imagine a
film without Carpenters theme, or a
without Gonna Fly Now it just wouldnt be the same. The snafu with sound was yet another notch in the tall totem of folly that plagues this weak, derivative remake.
Friday the 13th
is by no means a terrible film, but considering the rich back story and all the common iconography available, it should have been a lot more than just a forgettable one. There is nothing standout about this by the numbers number thirteen, so lacking in distinctive personality that had the hockey mask been replaced with something different it could easily pass as any old two star slasher. This movie brings nothing new to the table, no further insight on what makes the man tick, or no fleshed out story. Seriously, youve got one of the most interesting killers in horror history and you make him interchangeable. Look what you did to him! You can almost hear Mrs. Voorhees scream, as Jason is forced yet again into early retirement because of a subpar entry. Will anyone get it right?
Image Quality
Friday the 13th
looks as youd expect it to, completely clean of any specs or print damage, sharp and saturated. Yet, at the same time I was surprised to not really feel that open window effect that so many old restorations provide on the HD format. The reason being for this, I believe, is because the film is so post-processed, every scene stylishly tinted or darkened with extra contrast, that it becomes too removed from reality. It looks good, but it looks too artificial and as a result just doesnt have the depth that one would expect in Blu-ray. Still, this progressive scan VC1 encode looks good and faithful to the theatrical presentation, and Pearls 2.35:1 scope cinematography makes a good use of the frame, even if it doesnt look at all like a
Friday the 13th
film should.
The back of the box advertises English Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital 5.1, in addition to a French Dolby Digital 5.1 track, but the menus are less informative. You pop the disc in, and the only options you get are English and French, with no distinction between TrueHD and Digital tracks. Note to New Line and everyone else making DVD menus if a person is anal enough to go into the audio menu, chances are they know what they are doing and would need more information than just the language of the track. Furthermore, the menu structure is confused in that you can only access the theatrical version via menu the Killer Cut plays automatically, and if you chose the theatrical version after, there is no way of getting back. Its weird. Whichever track I was listening to though, naturally sounded clear and full, with tons of jump scares kicked in by the lower registers. The track isnt anything overly special though, with modest directionality and a good use of ambience throughout.
Supplemental Material
There are three separate releases of the new
Friday the 13th
on home video. Theres the vanilla theatrical cut of the film on DVD, the Killer Cut extended edition also on DVD, and the Blu-ray that combines them both and adds extra features. The theatrical cut DVD has no extra features, so you can stop here if thats the version you want. All the other extras below will be shared between both Killer Cut releases, with the Blu-ray exclusives additionally singled out in the reviews. With that out of the way
The first big extra is of course the Killer Cut version of the film. It adds 9-minutes of footage to the original theatrical film. While 9-minutes may seem like a lot, in truth there really isnt a whole lot added. The Killer Cut starts off with a brief additive shot of Jasons deformed face as a boy during the black and white prologue. Many death scenes are just a touch longer, but they were so graphic in the first place its not like it adds a whole lot. There are a couple extra shots in the one two murder of the sleeping bag girl and her horny boyfriend who gets the bear trap. The Asian guys death is even longer, with a lot more footage of the screwdriver actually going into the neck in close-up. Trents the last victim to see a longer death, with more machete riding and a bit more of the actual throw onto the truck blade. Later on we see some more added carnage with Lawrence in the hot tub and Chelsea disposed of in a marsh in the woods as Clay and Final Girl #1 run away from Trents cabin. The most significant addition, though, is the added sequence of Whitney escaping and making it all the way to Trents cabin, only to be grabbed by Jason and put in her place. When she makes it to the house, she watches Trent and Bree have sex for a bit, which means quite a bit more of those floppy breasts and a bit more wise talkin from Trent Im eight seconds away! There may be a few more shots here or there, but otherwise, theres your eight minutes.
The footage were always looking for as fans of the original films are added glimpses into the death scenes, from the complete negatives pre-MPAA to the actual behind-the-scenes footage. There isnt much of the latter given the age of the material, but the one thing the makers of this new
got right was the Blu-ray exclusive feature The 7 Best Kills (22:32). Each of the seven kills are chronicled in four minute segments, with introductions from the cast and crew and then behind-the-scenes footage of each death along with explanations on how it was achieved. The machete rig they do for Trents death is actually quite impressive, and its good to see throughout all the extras that there really wasnt much CG used at all. As far as horror film extras go, its everything a horror fan could want. Better than the actual film? You betcha.
Another Blu-ray exclusive is the Terror Trivia Track complete with picture-in-picture behind-the-scenes footage. The ad for this track boasts Test your knowledge of this long-running franchise, but really its just a video box in the corner that either plays interview and behind-the-scenes footage on scenes currently happening, or some on-text did you know kind of stuff that fans will already be well accustomed to. The whole thing serves as a pretty entertaining commentary track with the added visual stimulus, and its actually pretty well together. Even though video commentaries have been around since the DVD days, its rare that theyre done, and here it is done well.
Hacking Back/Slashing Forward (11:41) takes a novel approach in having most of the cast and crew recollect their first time seeing a
Friday the 13th
movie. This then segues into how the writers wrote a better script, the producers made a more exciting movie and how Marcus Nispel, as quoted by an actor, a cinematic genius. We also get this gem from the writers, where they say Our goal was to make this like Batman Begins, just what you want to hear as a slasher fan! I could have done without all the false hype, but it was nice to, if briefly, see people talk about their own experience with the franchise proper. This is the final exclusive to the big blue format.
The other featurette is The Rebirth of Jason Voorhees (11:24) where the cast and crew comment on just how much smarter, scarier, cooler and just downright more awesome the new Jason is compared to the old school critter. The new man behind the mask, Derek Mears, gets genuinely excited talking about bringing the character to life who wants to be the one to tell him it was all in vain? The whole segment is devoted to Jason, where its showing behind the scenes footage of the various stages of masks and effects, or having the actors reflect on how Mears is, another actor quote, the best Jason by far. Its worth sticking through all the naval glazing, though since at the end theres the original deleted scene of how Jason got his mask, complete with a beheading.
If you dont want to stick it through for the deleted scenes, you can get the original acquisition of the mask, and two more deleted scenes individually from the menu. The second scene is more with the police officers and is essentially one long deconstruction of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The final scene is quite a bit longer, and is an extended scene of Clay and Whitney hiding out in the barn from Heir Hockey Mask. It contains all the bits with Jason busting through the window and the almost death by lawn mower blades, but really doesnt offer much more other than slower pacing. Together all three scenes run 8:17.
There are supposedly some BD-Live features on the Blu-ray, too, but after taking forever to sign up and log in using my remote to type everything out, I managed only to accidentally download the trailer for 17 Again after intending to get Freddy vs. Jason. Keep in mind I also had to spend close to an hour updating the firmware on my player just to get the disc and then later the BD-Live content to show properly. Remember when DVDs would just play when you put them in?
Theres a digital copy on a second disc in the Blu-ray, for those who just have to watch a horror movie on the transit.
Final Thoughts
Aside from all that nonsense in making the Final Girl a mommy,
Texas Chainsaw
remake is a stylish, if hollow, updating of Hoopers original, with returning cinematographer Daniel Pearl proving he can still put on a show. The Texas backdrop is refreshing in a time of oh, wait, sorry, wrong movie. I seem to have things confused. The
Friday the 13th
remake feels hardly like one, unforgivably shot in an obvious Texas and with a hardly modified approach from Pearl and director Marcus Nispel. The screenwriting is equally as lazy, making trite one of horrors richest cinematic legacies. Its pretty tough to descend further than
Jason Goes to Hell
Jason X
, but Platinum Dunes somehow found a way. As a horror film its passable, but as reboot of horrors best bad guy, it ranks up there as one of horrors major missed opportunities. The video and audio are good but almost seem underwhelming compared to the Blu-ray transfers Paramounts been doing with the original series. If there is any reason to get this disc, though, its for the Blu-ray exclusive behind-the-scenes looks into the seven best kills in the series. A rental at best,
Friday the 13th
should be seen by all budding screenwriters in hopes that when they write the sequel to the remake (requel?), they dont make the same mistakes Michael Bay and co. made here. What next,
The Burning
set in Sarah Palin Alaska?
A cheaper, and more realistic, given the quality, avenue for seeing the film is through download at the PlayStation Store, Amazon Video On Demand and
Movie - C-
Image Quality -
Sound - B+
Supplements - B+
*Because of the quality of the HD format, the clarity, resolution and color depth are inherently a major leap over DVD. Since any Blu-ray will naturally have better characteristics than DVDs, the rating is therefore only in comparison with other Blu-ray titles, rather than home video in general. So while a Blu-ray film may only get a C, it will likely be much better than a DVD with an A.

Yeah, I definitely agree with this. I waqs disappointed with it, and felt it was no different than any other horror remake out there.

I think you guys are being a little harsh, but whatevs. Remakes traditionally are stinky imo, but I thought this one was above average comparatively. I will be adding the Blu to my library when the price is right. Nice review nonetheless rhett.

I liked this version of F13 a million times better than I did Nispel's version of TCM. Good review, but I think the film was better than most of what the horror genre in Hollywood is giving us recently.

I'm curious if there are any old-school Friday fans that enjoyed the remake. I'm sure there are; I'm just not sure why.
Hated it. HATED. And you're talking to someone that does like remakes. Loved the Dawn remake.
Still, nothing is as bad as the Halloween remake. Rhett must review it to set the record straight. Only his love for the franchise can properly explain why it was such utter trash.

I felt that the movie was really bland, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be....but, just a big MEH.
Bleh, pretty much sums up the way i feel about the remake.

I'm definitely an old school Friday fan, and I mildly enjoyed it. I wasn't jumping out of my seat with excitement or anything, but I don't think it was as terrible as many make it out to be. I thought it was kinda fun to try and piece things together from Parts 1 thru 4. I saw it with some friends that are not nearly as F13 educated as me, and they had fun watching it so that was nice to witness as well. However, I thought the gore would have been a little bit better. After seeing the My Bloody Valentine remake I think I was spoiled with splatter

Recipe by Franci
"A friend of mine, who picks pecans every year, brought me some of these yummy bars along with a sack of pecans. They are incredibly rich and gooey, and freeze like a dream. Easy and perfect for the holiday season."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup
butter, softened
1 cup
white sugar
1 cup
packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 cup
pecan halves
I just finished baking & tasting the Butter Pecan Bars. I changed the recipe due to the ingredients I had on hand. I used self-rising flour instead of all-purpose and I added 3/4 c. choc. chips to the mix. I made sure the sugars and butter were creamed to a fluffy light color. The final outcome was terrific. I can visually see the inside is soft and the outside is chewy. I cooked for 40 min. in a 350 oven. I had some pecans I wanted to use up and I am glad I found this recipe. Thanks!
I'm not sure what I did wrong here. I followed the recipe exactly. The bars were way too thick and never got completely done, even after cooking them 10+ extra minutes. The recipe sounded great and I really wanted the bars to work out, so I made a second batch and they turned out the same as the first batch. They definitely need to be in a bigger pan than 8x8. I was preparing the bars to take to a party. Even though I wasn't happy with the results, I took them anyway. They didn't turn out pretty, so it was hard to get people to try them. Those that did try them, said they liked them, but there were a lot left over.

Too good. I made these for a tough crowd-we have several wonderful amateur cooks and one or two culinary professionals. Well, they all hovered over this plate of pecan bars and asked for the recipe.
Be sure and let the recipe cool before cutting into bars-less mess.
I made these for a cookout so I decided to go ahead and double the batch and cooked in a 9 1/2 by 13 1/2 pan and cooked for 50 minutes and it could have cooked for another 5-7 minutes to be perfect. I even accidentally put in a cup of walnuts and a cup of pecans (oops, I thought the bag I opened was pecans)and everyone still loved them not even noticing the difference. Will definately make again.
So yummy! These bars took a lot of patience and tinkering with the timing. On my second try I baked for 60 minutes at 300 degrees and it was just perfect.
These were really quick and easy!!!! Didn't even pull out the mixer,mixed it all by hand.I did use a larger pan,which probably made them not as gooey,but they were very good and everyone loved them.As we have 16 pecan trees these will be a keeper for sure.
These are good. I wanted them to be more chewy. I cut the flour down by a 1/4 cup. Added a cup of pecans. Bake them in a 300 oven for 50 mins, in a 9 x 13 pan. I liked them much better this way. Thinner and more chewy.
This was absolutely wonderful! It was easy to make, tastes delicious and even my seven year old liked it. I used butter flavored crisco instead of butter and it turned out wonderfully. I'll make this many more times!

I am new to Android, and would like to know whether it is possible to add a desktop shortcut so that when I press it, I can send an email to a specific person, and I just need to put the subject and send it.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Not for a specific person -- but still a shortcut, which simply opens the "compose new mail" screen: Compose Mail Shortcut. There's also Send Mail Shortcut which, from the name, sounds to exactly fit your purpose -- but as it helds no description at all, it's hard to tell. Last but not least: Mail Linker even seems to fit right from its description.
Unfortunately, as already mentioned, there's no such thing provided by the Android core system by default.
I don't believe there's anything built in to do that, but an app like Mail Widget will allow that.
From this discussion I found that Speed Dial application can do the trick.

Create the perfect fit for your earbuds
Reduce background noise and deliver more bass and treble
As the shape of the buds are custom, they are also much less likely to fall out, great for exercising
His idea is simple, by putting sugru in the silicone sleeves supplied with your earbuds, you can create a perfect fit without putting sugru in your ears. This is a very clean and simple method to modify your audio kit with really impressive results.
Sugru is the perfect material for this because:
- It moulds and forms easily
- It bonds to the silicone sleeve
- It cures with a soft, flexible feel
If you need to stock up, sugru is available from www.sugru.com
Let's get started!
Step 1: What you need
Maybe line up some other projects to do at the same time, so no sugru goes to waste! If you're stuck for ideas, check out other peoples hacks at www.sugru.com/gallery.
If you want your hack to blend in with your earbuds, you can use black. I've personally gone for yellow, to compliment the other colours.
Is there anything wrong with sugru in your ear? I lost the earbud covers and want to replace
No, it's not! Unless you're allergic to one of its components, which is liable to... However, you can get more info through their web page man
But, I do have to say...if you happen to have any hair in or near your ear with this...man does that hurt!
KOSS has an inexpensive ($15 plus warranteed for life) solution. They used a tube from the earbud and used an ear plug as a sleeve for the tube. I squish down the earplug and stick it in my ears until the plugs expand. They work so well as drowning out the external sound that I can use a chainsaw and still listen to music.
I've often thought about doing the same with headphones, but never got around to it.
Of course, that would create sound isolating headphones which aren't the best for all occasions like riding your bicycle on the street, but work really good for things like listening to music while doing noisy yard work.
If you don't want to get Sugru (there are thousands of other uses for it, BTW.) then you should just invest in better earbuds.

Dr,P is the best OB doctor ever! I have known him for about 10 years; he delivered my two girls. He is a very caring, knowledgeable doctor and his expertise are above and beyond. He has always been there for my needs/concerns with both of my pregnancies. His staff is also very helpful and nice. He is an outstanding doctor and a wonderful person! We love him dearly.

love, Love, LOVE him! Been with him for 17 years and moved away several years ago but still drive an hour and a half each way to have him take care of me. He has gone beyond his usual call of duty with me and I am forever grateful. he has helped me when other Drs wouldnt/couldnt. He listens to his patients. he is gentle and dedicated. He is the best surgeon I have ever had. Great recoveries. I dont know how to ever repay him except to refer others to him so they can benefit from his years of experience.

Moved to Ventura Cty & Poliakin came recommended by a friend.Having 2nd baby, 10 wks needed a dr. quick so went w/him. Met with Poliakin first visit very nice & spent his time with me & my hubby talking. Always at each appt. very nice - late a lot of the time! At times aggravating esp. when you are pregnant - but liked him. Nurses all very very nice. Thank God for them otherwise I would have left. Cindy the Office Mgr/Collection Lady is a nightmare. At about 25 weeks I HAD to meet w/her to pay UPFRONT 3,500 because they want labor paid upfront regardless if you have insurance. NEVER HEARD OF THIS! It became a nightmare every appt. hounding me for money, threating me - that "You cannot leave the office unless you give me some money!" And "I will send you to collections if you do not pay" mind you my acct. was up to date & my insurance had paid EVERYTHING! It became more like a collections apt. then a dr.'s appt. if you want to pay upfront for a dr. go there, it is an absolute joke!

Dr Poliakin is a wonderful, caring physician. Not only is he always up on the latest studies and statistics, when I ask a question, but he also supports womens choices to have a natural or medicated birth. He is the best OB/Gyn in Ventura County!!!

I was referred to Dr. Poliakin through my midwife,for my 20-week ultrasound. My husband and I got there 5 minutes early. There were no seats in the waiting room so the staff suggested we could wait outside in the hallway. We waited TWO AND A HALF HOURS before we were finally seen. Dr. Poliakin informed us that he was running late on his lunch since it had been a busy day. He was rushed the entire time. He would only speak to me if I directly asked him a question (since it was my first ultrasound ever it would have been nice to have it explained to us- what we were looking at, etc - instead of having to think of questions to ask). When he did speak, he was arrogant, rude and rushed. Needless to say, I did not go back to him for anymore ultrasounds and instead went to an ultrasound tech. I am not seeing him for my current pregnancy.

He is an extremely experienced and skilled doctor and surgeon. Does he have strong opinions? Yes. If you disagree with him, you better have a good reason. But the most important aspect about him is that he very much cares about your well-being. I got to see that part of him when I had issues dealing with the pain after the delivery in the following week. His office staff was awesome as well. Also, I loved that he does his own ultrasound so there is no need to see a technician who can't tell you much. I know that his office is always busy and the wait time is long. Maybe his dry sense of humor is not your cup of tea - I actually enjoy it very much. But when I look at the big picture, I will gladly go back to him for my next pregnancy. I trust that I will be in good hands.

Dr. Poliakin was nice, helpful and knowledgeable, however he was also arrogant and pushy. When questioned, he can get defensive. He encouraged me to be induced because he said my baby was going to be big. I did not want to be induced and he did not like that. He just wanted me to do what he said. I ended up going through with the induction and ended up having a c-section and my daughter was not big. I just felt he was a little pushy on scheduling. He also made some very rude remarks to my family while I was in labor. He is a very smart doctor and an awesome surgeon, but I will find another OB for my next child and pursue a VBAC (which he will not do).

Switched to this doctor after a negative experience with another doctor and have no regrets. He delivered my second baby via a schduled c-section without any complications. He is business-like, yet friendly. Has a good sense of humor so the appointments are not boring. My experience with the staff has been positive, especially taking into account that his office is very busy.

Dr.P. is extremely knowledgeable & somewhat charming. His waiting rm is always full of patients anxious & happy to see him. I had no doubt as to his capabilities. Confident(yes, arrogant @ times but it takes a backseat to his skill/abilities)assuring me he is "very good at what(I)do" w/regards to delivering babies, & complications that might occur. Office atmosphere is set to alleviate awkwardness & patient fear, bringing ease to the experience.(hint*Don't bother if you lack a sense of humor.) Unfortunately, I was very disappointed w/his office staff. My few urgent messages concerning acute symptoms or complications never reached him (examp-called twice about bleeding in my 5th month). Failure to communicate such important info was negligent. Bottom line, almost certain not to disappoint in the delivery room. This man could successfully deliver a baby w/a rope tied around his leg suspended from the ceiling, blindfolded, w/one hand tied behind his back. Love the fishing waders, Dr. P!

Dr. Poliakin is a pretty good doctor. He is totally laid back but is very knowledgeable. He has his practice down to a tee. The book he wrote is awesome. I was given his book for free at my first appointment while I was preggo. Throughout my pregnancy I never really had to burden him with my stupid questions because he answers so many in his book. But if you do have a stupid question, he wont hesitate to answer it. I traveled 2 hours out of my way to have him as my ob/gyn. When I was expected to deliver my first baby, he went on vacation. Of course I go into labor while he was gone. I was still in labor when he came back from vacation. The second he came back he drove to the hospital to deliver my baby. Wow! He must love his job. It's a good thing he does because I ended up having a C-section. I don't think I would of trusted anyone else to cut open my belly without doing a google search. Yeah, I'm one of those people that look at credentials/reviews before seeing anyone.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Secret Trials and Secret Evidence
The New York Sun reports an amazing showdown now playing out in a federal court in Virginia:
Actually, I find this compromise to allow the jurors doing the fact finding, but not the public and the enemy, to hear classified evidence to be an interesting gamble on the part of the government.
The public (not to mention our enemies) have no right to know classified information, so that part hardly bothers me.
However, the government is rolling the dice that the jurors will not disclose what they know after the trial in order to ensure these two defendants a fair jury trial.
It will be interesting to see if the Government is requiring some control mechanisms such as passing a background check or agreeing to sign a confidentiality agreement enforceable by criminal prosecution.
If a juror refuses to agree to those conditions, is that a strike for cause or one of the government's preemptories?
Would it not be necessary to run security checks on jurors before clearing them to hear classified evidence?
Would that not offend the concept of citizen juries?
And, would that not have a chilling effect on the willingness of potential jurors to present themselves for jury duty?
Further, would a judge who ruled in favor of this sort of scheme not set up a serious basis for appeal?
I'm actually a bit confused. My understanding was that the Classified Information Procedures Act was designed to address with these precise circumstances: the government wanting to introduce into a criminal trial evidence that is currently classified. There doesn't seem to be anything like what the government is proposing in that act. In fact, most of the procedures in the act appear to be fairly pointless if evidence can be introduced in a non-public way.
CIPA appears to strike this balance: if the government needs to use classified information to get a conviction, and can't find some sort of substitute that the judge accepts as substantially equivalent in terms of the defendant's constitutional right to put on a (valid) defense in a public trial, then the government must choose: either bite the bullet and release the information, or accept sanctions ranging from preclusion of evidence to dismissal of the indictment. The government never has to release evidence it doesn't want to - it just doesn't get to use that evidence against the defendant.
I recall this happening in the Iran/Contra trials, to several defendants' benefit. To be clear, I'm not saying I approve or disapprove of CIPA, only that it exists.
Raphael demonstrates the conundrum the government usually faces in these cases - release classified information to the enemy or give a deal to the agent of the enemy.
This is why some of our worst spies never see trial or the execution they richly deserve.
The usual techniques are to try to convince the spy to take a plea bargain to a jail sentence less than life or blackmail the spy by threatening to charge his family members with related crimes unless he accepts a life sentence.
The compromise the government is offering in this case to allow the Court, the defendant and the jury to hear the classified evidence seeks to get around that conundrum while still providing a fair trial. The public can still observe all the trial proceedings. They just can't listen to this portion of the evidence.
It will be interesting to see how the court resolves this.
Bart, I don't necesarily disagree (although I have serious concerns and questions) with the premise that the public does not have a right to classified information, but, regardless, I will grant you this point for the purpose of discussion.
Accepting this idea means trusting the government implicitely to do the right thing and only classify those things that could materially harm our country. However, I am not sure if, even under the best of circumstances, say in a case where every single member of the nation trust the President in every case, we should be comfortable doing so.
I say this because there is an inherent benefit to for the government in overclassifying documents that need not be kept secret in order to prevent the disclosure of embarrassing or illegal activities. Thus, I don't see how we can ever trust out of hand that information that is classified should be. Indeed, there is ample historical evidence that the government has in many cases done just that (The Pentagon Papers being the most obvious and egregious example).
With all of that in mind I think that the public, and the courts should operate from a position of healthy skepticism whenever the government attmepts to use "State secrets" or some other similar rationale to escape litigation or public scrutiny.
"Bart" DePalma:
This is why some of our worst spies never see trial ...
Oh, bosh and piffle. This just isn't true.
... or the execution they richly deserve.
Fancy that, "Bart" thinks that people ought to be executed even though they haven't been tried. "Sentence first -- verdict afterwards." Where have I heard that before?
The usual techniques are to try to convince the spy to take a plea bargain to a jail sentence less than life or blackmail the spy by threatening to charge his family members with related crimes unless he accepts a life sentence.
Or maybe kidnap his sons and threaten them if he doesn't 'co-operate' ... nah ... waterboarding is much faster.
The Fabulous Galdstoner said...
Accepting this idea means trusting the government implicitely to do the right thing and only classify those things that could materially harm our country.
So far as this trial goes, we do not have to trust the government to "do the right thing" because the judge, defendant and jury also get access to this information. I would be much more uneasy if the government cut out the defendant or the defendant and jury. In that case, you are attacking the basic constitutional rights to confront the evidence against you and to have a jury do the fact finding.
I will leave the subject of "over classification" to a future post on that subject.
I do agree with you, Bart, that in this case, there isn't a huge problem with the lack of transparency for the general public since all of the important parties in the case are seeing all of the evidence. However, that said, if you accept that the government can acheive their aim in protecting classified evidence by restricting public access to the information than you can't hope but disagree with the dismissal of the Khalid El-Masri lawsuit. Thus, I think that any way you slice it the government is unethically using one set of criteria for access to classified information when it suits their purpose to reveal it and one set when the information might be embarrassing or might opent them up to litigation.Post a Comment

The start of a new year means the high school bas-ketball season is about to enter the critical stage.
That's certainly true for Nolan County as girls teams from Sweetwater, Highland and Roscoe all begin district play tonight.
Sweetwater (14-9) plays at Big Spring (11-10) start-ing at 6:15 p.m. It will be the first game of 2013 for the Lady Mustangs, who have been idle since going 2-2 at the Slaton tournament this past weekend.
Sweetwater opened the tournament with victories over Tahoka (52-30) and Petersburg (48-33), but lost to Slaton 49-32 and Whitharral 44-22 in its last two games.
Roscoe and Highland, who are in the same dis-trict for at least the next two years, also hit the road as they will play at Hermleigh and Westbrook, respectively. The boys teams have yet to start district, but High-land will host Paint Creek today. Blackwell's boys and girls have begun district play and host Robert Lee today. The boys are off to a 1-1 start in district while the girls are 0-4.
The Sweetwater girls play host to Midland Greenwood next Tuesday and entertain Monahans three days later, when the boys will be joining them for a district dou-bleheader at Mustang Gym.

Comfort and performance for the long-haul.
Sure, the ThirtyTwo Women's Lashed Snowboard Boot looks really sweet with its bright color pops and subtle texture variations, but what really matters is the boot's legendary performance and insanely comfortable fit. This all-mountain freestyle boot gives you plenty of support to cruise the entire mountain, yet its medium flex and articulating cuff won't restrict movement when you lock into presses and tweak grabs off jumps.
Keeping your feet happy from first run 'till last, the boot's thermo-moldable Level 2 liner features dual-density Intuition foam for a truly custom fit, especially if you heat mold 'em right from the box. Its molded-EVA Level 2 footbed absorbs nasty vibrations when you stick heavy jump landings and cruise over bumpy, rutted-out terrain. Adding proper arch support, the footbed's molded TPU heel-cradle makes for a supremely comfortable fit.
Most impressive is the boot's superior build quality, making them a favorite among ladies who shred hard all season long. The boot's articulating cuff eliminates shell distortion, helping the Lashed retain its shape for a proper fit throughout the entire season. This cuff design also allows for uninhibited flex, should you butter, press, and tweak your way through the park. Its 3D-molded tongue ensures an even flex without pressure points for a better overall feel, and the Performance backstay increases durability, especially where the boot rubs against the binding's highback. Additionally, the ladies' Lashed is equipped with a high-density Evolution foam sole for lightweight performance.

32's Boots Rule
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
A little stiffer than I'm used to, these boots took a few wears to fall in love, but sure enough, another successful pairing! I'm never disappointed with comfort and style of 32s boots and the Lashed are no exception. The best part is, they come with both types of lacing systems, because I'm a traditional lace kind of girl. I'm excited to get back into these boots and shred again!
I wear a 7.5 shoe. Would ordering an 8.5 in this boot be too big? I'm trying to take in to count that I will be wearing thick socks.
Reid Pitman
Stick with your shoe size. The fit of snowboarding boots takes into account layer. But going up a full size will give you way too much play around your foot. Either jamming toes or heel lift.
I've done it and the slappy loose feeling held my ability back. I actually size down half sizes and get the boots fitted.
