Okay, this film doesn't really take itself seriously, so you can
forgive it for the bad acting, dialogue, music and special effects. The
first film was pretty bad also, so this one did not have much to live
up to.
The plot being, boy wizard with help of mentor and "great" warrior take on three evil Wizards and therefore three large armies of men, is at least quite straight forward to follow.
Most of the film involves some quite ridiculous sword fight scenes, where the "Dark One" Warrior (Played by David Caridine)kills loads and loads of soldiers, with out breaking a sweat. The guards and soldiers are treated as real goons in this particular film, and play a very stupid enemy.
There are some monsters that the boy wizard and the "dark one" also have to battle, but the effects are pretty bad, so these scenes do come across a but cheap and silly.
Despite the obvious negatives, the film does have quite an under-current of comedy attached, which does at times make it watchable.
The central characters are quite annoying. The boy wizard and his side kick old man wizard, spend a lot of time wandering around talking rubbish. The warrior princess that they meet played by Lana Clarkson, looks gorgeous, but has rubbish dialogue - though some good fight scenes. David Caradines "the Dark one" looks a bit embarrassed to be in the film, and his many sword fight scenes are very silly and predictable. The only character who is worth watching is the "Dark One's" Dancer wife Edun (Susan Lee Hoffman). Who is pretty and delicate but has immense physical strength. She gets the only really great scene in the film, where she tricks a guard into helping her down from a ledge. once perched on his shoulders, she crosses her legs and breaks the poor guys neck with her inner thigh muscles, all with a devilish smile on her face.
Unfortunately Eden and her strong legs are only a small part of the film, and the rest is very forgettable or just plain bad. I would only recommend it for a laugh, as you are unlikely to be captured by the story, script or the battle scenes.
The previous poster pretty much said it all - this movie contains flubs on
ever level, from costumes to special effects, dialogue, editing, sound
editing, continuity, and just plain out-and-out stupidity. My friend's kid
brother enjoyed this film in a serious way back in 1990 - but he was only
years old so that makes sense. Even at 15 we understood how lame this
was. And yet we watched it so many times and laughed harder and longer
most movies that are intentional comedies! Some more examples of
The warrior princess character uses bows and arrows and can somehow shoot them from impossible angles, i.e. killing men while standing in a tree and they are bending over, yet still hitting them squarely in the heart. I guess the arrow ricocheted off the dirt up into his chest.
Our "hero" fights a battle against a tentacled styrofoam creature that is shown in brief 1 second flashes with lots of dry ice to mask it's cheesiness. Somehow, the hero kills it though it's not really shown.
The hero goes from standing with his sword across his back, then cut away to some villagers, cut back - suddenly he is brandishing the sword! Guess it would be too much effort to see him unsheath it.
One evil wizard guy looks like Commander Data from Star Trek, right down to his gold painted face.
A final scene is a total ripoff of the whole Star Wars theme of "strike him down and you will turn to the Dark Side". Some sample dialogue (from memory):
"Don't you know that even if you embrace the thought of killing him, you will become evil and join him and NOT kill him, GET IT?"
Suddenly George Lucas sounds like Shakespeare. :)
A few more quotes (said in all seriousness in this movie):
"This is a hard time for heroes kid" "Hey - I'll see you at 7:30" (don't think they used time in such increments in the middle ages) "Now shut up - or start dancing, one or the other" "To the king and the queen of all creation, HAIL." "What can you do against the power of the Amulet of Light?!"
In conclusion, rent this !!

OK aside from my vote which was cast to get your attention, would you watch it if i gave a 1, this film is so bad it's good, if you get this to see a good story, great acting or fantastic special effects, you may be disappointed, this film looks like it was made on a budget that could make 10 seasons of blake's 7, the only good thing about this movie was susan lee Hoffman thighs killing a guard, and if they made a film of her killing guards with her thighs for an hour and a half, it would be a thousand times better than this film, in fairness thou this is a funny film when it's not trying to be a barbarian queen rip off, and sid haig is always good for a laugh even in something this bad, there is no real surprises in this film it's a standard good kid vs bad wizard film with a happyish ending, it is worth a look if you can find it.
Who said that Citizen Kane deserved to be in the top 10, and where is
Wizards of the Lost Kingdom 2? Someone give David Carradine a
high-five, ASAP. Does anyone else want to throw fifteen bucks to hire
the costume designer of this movie to dress up an upcoming wedding?
What needs to be said about the plot, other than it's a beautiful
template that ignores logic for the sake of a god damned good movie.
Buy a six pack, call a friend or text them or whatever it is you do to
reach people, sit down in front of a TV when you're already too drunk
to drive and watch these actors blow your mind right out of your skull.
This movie might be suitable for children, but it's way more suitable
for you, who may be able to pick up on the subtle sophistication that
oozes from every pore of this hysterical, bloated masterpiece.
It made me look at life with new eyes. Now I will never be the same again, forced to face the world a new man with untold possibility and danger. Does that sound anything near exciting to you? That's not even close to how exciting these special effects are.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
My guess is that this film was made by idiots, because it would take an extraordinary team of geniuses to make a film this awful deliberately.
Supposedly, many people enjoy bad films, even when they know that the films are bad. I don't. This film is the glorious exception. Whereas many films are just bad and boring, this one transcends its incompetence, and presents the viewer with a spectacle of such consistent and unremitting low-quality, that one is left fighting for breath. You will be astounded that anyone capable of taking the lens cap off the camera could have considered this film worth making. This is definitely a film to be watched with many friends, and several beers.
The genre is "fantasy" of the swords and sorcery type. The plot is the usual: boy becomes wizard, joins a small party of heroes to defeat the local evil sorcerer-ruler. This is near enough the plot of all fantasy films. Powerful rulers who use magic are always evil. What sets this film apart from the tedious mass, though, is that it is enlivened throughout by jaw-droppingly abysmal dialogue, costumes, incidents and effects.
This film cannot be spoiled by "spoilers". Indeed, the only way to appreciate it is spot as many atrocious things in it as you can. Here I present some of the things to watch out for, and doubtless you and your ale-soaked friends will spot many more.
The pitiful shack in the middle of the woods, which on the inside looks like a studio set, and turns out to be the local tavern.
The bartender, clad in black, with a big ornate black sword on his back, who at first claims to be a "simple bartender" as he polishes a leather tankard, but who then starts a fight in his own tavern, before admitting that he is a "hero" (yes - that's actually the word they use!)
The villainous sorcerer, with the terrifying name of "Veneer" whose dialogue for almost all of the film consists entirely of demonic evil laughter. This man is pointlessly evil. For instance, he forbids his own population to drink from the well. WHY?
The appallingly-costumed guards around the well, who carry swords in their hands at all times, because they lack scabbards, and who fight with the speed of a pouncing limpet and the wit of kapok.
The well itself, which consists of a stone wall encircling some water. The water actually comes up to the rim of the well-head, suggesting that the local water-table is three feet above ground level.
The gladiators fighting inside an arena which is simply a high wooden fence enclosing a circle of ground. Why are they fighting? No one can see them.
The "hero" they happen across in the well-lit dungeon, who, on being freed from his bonds, finds his sword nearby on the floor. This man rescues three girls from a cell. These all look like cheer-leaders and all have shampooed and blow-dried hair, as well as zips up the backs of their dresses.
The fight between two monsters. Each is rather obviously a man in a costume. One clue is the bare arms revealed occasionally during the struggle, as the make-up doesn't go all the way up the actors' arms, and the sleeves of their shirts are rather short. Both monsters drop dead simultaneously, without a mark visible on either.
The moment when it is suggested that the heroes incite revolt. Immediately the scene cuts to some footage, very obviously taken from another film, of many people fighting each other apparently at random.
The shop which has a window, but no door. The "merchandise" is a few paltry things on the windowsill. Saving on building a door, the scene cuts to the interior.
The "secret passage" which is huge, easy to find, and leads straight into the dungeons of the villain's stronghold.
The moment when the villain has magically adhered some peoples' feet to the floor, and he gloats and walks not just to within easy punching distance of them, but actually between them, and within punching distance of both.
I have not seen Wizards of the Lost Kingdom, but it seems to be in a similar league of inspired dreadfulness. I believe that there was even a third in this series of films. I am agog at the brazen cheek of anyone who could commission a follow-up to this film with a straight face. If these films were commercially successful, it was not because their makers knew what they were doing.
I daresay I am very fond of B or even Z movies. Westerns, sci-fi,
horror, fantasy, you name it. I've seen quite a lot of movies ranging
from bad to very bad, with an occasional gem flirting with the
'execrable' mark. However, this thing was simply out of scale. It is
neither the gaping plot holes, pitiful lines, inept sets nor below 80's
D&D scenario storyline. I think it is the way all actors without
exception seemed not only bored but plainly ashamed of being
immortalized in such a lame show.
They are all, without exception, amazingly clumsy, slow, and boring. I still wonder what coaxed Carradine into this piece of junk - trouble with the IRS maybe ? But the worst disappointment came from the lame performance of Captain Spaulding, head of the unforgettable dysfunctional family of the house of 1000 corpses and the devil's rejects. Yes, this movie even managed to bore the flamboyant Z movie star Sid Haig into near-catatonia. Not a small feat in itself, if you like that sort of things.
Add a terribly annoying soundtrack with garbled voices and very loud out of sync "background" music (in all fairness that last bit could have been due to the appalling state of the venerable VHS tape) and you get something that managed to defeat my unusually high tolerance for *really* cheap movies.
Not even worth a rent unless you invest in enough booze to wash away this tedium.

Looks like the green sky of a tornado
The blues and creams from the internet photo were in real life the green sky of a tornado storm approaching and the creams were actually a yellow/green mold look. Overall, we are not impressed and we are sending this hideous picture back. The company needs to do some color correction on this before producing anymore of this picture.
Beautiful, glicee canvas
Exactly as expected. Beautiful, antiqued look. Mimics the sky in a room that benefits from more "light."

The Gum Ball Festival Reveals Third And Final 2013 Line Up Announcement
Written by Mike Hohnen on 21st February, 2013
Having already delivered to quality and eclectic line up announcements, The Gum Ball Festival has announced another run of talet set to perform on the ANZAC festival.
Leading the third – and also final – line up announcement are John Schumann & Hugh McDonald of the political folk outfit Redgum. As it turns out, booking Redgum ticked a big box for Festival Director Matt Johnston who said of the addition "We grew up listening to Redgum on vinyl, and now to be able to invite John and Hugh to play in our front yard on ANZAC day is nothing short of an honour."
The new list fits in nicely with the events strong Australia vibe. However international flavour is added by UK's Turin Brakes, USA's Eugene Hideaway Bridges and Kiwi crew The Eastern. And if you look closely, you'll notice line-up covers an array of styles, touching on everything from folk to dub.
The festival will kick off April 25th to the 27th at the Hunter Valley's Dashville (near Belford)

Marquis Spruill has seen a lot since high school. The linebacker spent a year at Fork Union Military Academy before joining Syracuse in 2010. Now an Orange captain, Spruill has played for two different coaches, in two different conferences, and is making one more run at another bowl game, which would be his third in four seasons.
He is a leader on a defense that, after losing a 56-0 at Georgia Tech a month ago, has played much better lately, shutting out Wake Forest and holding Maryland to just three points. But Syracuse will face its toughest challenge Saturday when it travels to No. 2 Florida State.
ESPN.com caught up with Spruill earlier this week to talk about the home stretch of the season.
You guys have had a massive turnaround the last two weeks after the Georgia Tech game. What could you attribute that to? What do you think has been the biggest difference that has allowed you guys to play as well as you have lately defensively?
Spruill: Just being closer as a defense. Everybody really understands the schemes and knowing their jobs and where they have to fit in coverages and all types of things. So just the defense as a whole is starting to get more of an understanding of what we're doing exactly. It's helped us a lot.
What makes Florida State so difficult to defend? They've scored 40 or more points in every game this season. It's obviously a big challenge this weekend for you guys. What's it going to take to slow them down?
Spruill: Oh man, they're a great team. They have a lot of athletes. Athletes on the offensive line. The fullback is an athlete, the tight end, the wide receivers especially. They have great tailbacks and the quarterback is great, too. So they just have a lot of weapons that they can hit you with.
You've found yourself a lot more in the backfield this year — making tackles for losses, sacks and forcing turnovers. What do you think has allowed you to step up your level of play, especially moving up to the ACC this year?
Spruill: I think that's what it's been, playing in the ACC, a new conference. Better teams, better skill sets of players. The caliber is higher everywhere you go, and that just makes you want to play better and show everybody what you're made of.
What did you think would be the biggest challenge going into the ACC this year? How do you think you guys have lived up to the step up in competition through three quarters of the season?
Spruill: I think the biggest challenge was it being our first year and getting used to the teams that we play, the new types of offenses that we see, the types of players that we see. Just things like that.
What kind of influence has Coach [Clark] Lea been for you guys so far in Year 1 with the linebackers?
Spruill: He's been a big influence to us. He's pushed more of his values more than my previous coaches. And he's a prideful guy; he takes pride in his job and what he does. And his biggest goal is helping us achieve success and everything like that. He really helps us, and I love him for it. He's a great guy, great coach, very smart. You can talk to him about anything — if you've got any problems, you go talk to him. You want to just go shout and talk football? You can do that, too. But he's a very good coach.
Going back a few years now, but how do you think your year at Fork Union helped prepare you for the rigors of college football in the Big East and in the ACC?
Spruill: I think it kind of gave me somewhat of a preview of what you would see in college, the type of players, the size, the speed, athleticism. And I took some things from that and I grew and it helped me a lot my first year. And I continue to improve. And being in the ACC, the athletes are better, bigger, faster and it's just been a growing process the whole way.
You've seen a lot of ups and downs at Syracuse in your career there. What would it mean to get a bowl berth in your first year in the ACC and to make it two straight years with a nice run to a bowl game?
Spruill: It would be great. This is my last year and I really would enjoy to have some more time with my team. I love them; they're like my brothers. And it would just be great to spend more time with them and go out good, go out with a bang.

The Barbarian Invasions (French: Les Invasions barbares) is a 2003 Canadian-French comedy-drama film written and directed by Denys Arcand. It is the sequel to Arcand's earlier film The Decline of the American Empire and is followed by Days of Darkness. The film was produced by companies from both Canada and France, including Telefilm Canada, Société Radio-Canada and Canal+. It was released in 2003 and won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 76th Academy Awards in 2004. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay but lost to Lost in Translation.
Continuing seventeen years after Arcand's The Decline of the American Empire, the film centres on an exploration of the characters first met in the original film and their children, newly introduced. The older generation are still largely social-democrats and proponents of Quebec nationalism, but both political and economic developments after the "Quiet Revolution" of the 1960s, as well as their own aging, make their left-wing stance seem somewhat anachronistic.
The plot revolves around the character Rémy's battle with terminal cancer, and the efforts of Sébastien, his estranged son to make his dying father more comfortable in his last days. Finally the father and son travel to Vermont in the United States to receive medical care.
Sébastien, at the request of Rémy's ex-wife Louise, has reluctantly returned from London where he has a successful career in quantitative finance - anathema to his father's socialist persuasions. However, this background helps Sébastien to navigate and manipulate Quebec's healthcare system (portrayed as somewhat overloaded in the film) to secure better care for his father. In the process, he also gathers the various other friends and family members from Rémy's past who come to visit and comfort him. During Rémy's last days, he and his friends travel to the cottage of the first film, and discuss philosophy, politics, and past sexual and intellectual exploits.

The Barbarian Invasions has received positive reviews from numerous critics. As of January 2010, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 82% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 123 reviews.[1] Metacritic reports that the film has an average score of 71 out of 100, based on 35 reviews.[2] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave the movie four stars and called it "a movie with brains, indignation, irony and idealism." [3] Conversely, Peter Bradshaw, writing for The Guardian, disdained the movie, calling it "grotesquely overpraised," "shot through with middlebrow sophistication, boorish cynicism, unfunny satire, a dash of fatuous anti-Americanism and unthinkingly reactionary sexual politics."[4] In 2004, the Toronto International Film Festival ranked the film tenth in the Top 10 Canadian Films of All Time.[5]
The film won France's 2004 César Award for Best Picture and Best Director, plus Best Original Screenplay for Denys Arcand. It also won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 76th Academy Awards, the first Canadian film to actually win the award, in 2004 (Arcand had been previously nominated for 'Invasions' predecessor The Decline of the American Empire and Jesus of Montreal) also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay but losing to Sofia Coppola from Lost in Translation.
At the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, it won two awards: Best Screenplay Award and Best Actress Award for Marie-Josée Croze.[6]
Genie Awards – Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actor (Girard), Supporting Actor (Rousseau), Supporting Actress (Croze); Prix Jutra – Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress (Croze); TIFF – Best Canadian Feature; as well as prizes at other international festivals (Bangkok International Film Festival, Cinema Brazil Grand Prize, Czech Lions).

Organize medium sized parts, but only for I-BOXX72
By ZenMonkey760
from Encinitas, CA
Comments about Bosch Tools 10 Piece Organizer Insert Set:
I was hoping that these would fit in my L-BOXX-1, but it turns out they only fit (as a group) in the I-BOXX-72. I ended up using some of them in the L-BOXX because my I-BOXX already has the compartments. On their own, they are not worth the price unless you have an emtpy I-BOXX. Otherwise, just using some of the compartments in your L-BOXX means they'll shuffle around inside or you will need to tape/glue them together thus losing the ability to configure them on the fly.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The big matches really motivate me - RS Sodhi
The man of the finals today is a lad who will certainly go far. He has none of the airs that most modern cricketers are infamous for. He is a humble young man who plays his cricket hard. It is a rare thing for cricketers to dedicate performances to near and dear ones in this day and age. However, Reetinder Singh Sodhi in an exclusive conversation with CricInfo was at his frank and personal best.
Anand Vasu: First there was some tight bowling, then spectacular fielding and finally steady batting. Which of the three is your biggest strength?
RS Sodhi: I concentrate equally on all the three, batting, bowling and fielding. I try to give my best for the team in all the departments and that's what motivates me. I think, that's why I did well today.
AV: The Under-15 World Cup that you played some time back. You were the man of the match in the finals on that occasion as well. Would you rate yourself as a big match player?
RS: I think, the big matches really motivate me a lot. But also it is a coincidence that I was man of the match in both the finals. I would like to thank God Almighty. It was only because of God that I was able to do well here. And also I would like to thank my late uncle who is not here in this world with me today. I think he was really a great motivater for me. I hope that he is really happy in heaven watching my performance.
One was reminded of Navjot Sidhu, another Sardar, who dedicated his career effort to his father on the day he announced his retirement. As this young sardar begins his career, he shows remarkable humility. That will always hold him in good stead.

A recent project made use of very pixel-large (~5e3px2) but still byte-small (~100kb — GIF) images, which both IE8 and iOS Safari refused to render. Both seem aware of the image size, but simply do not render them. A practical solution is to slice the image, but are there any documented arbitrary restrictions on maximum image pixel size for these browsers?
Announcing Stack Overflow Documentation
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Mobile Safari has a 3-megabit buffer for non JPG images. Anything larger than that will not display. Calculate size = w * h * 8 for GIFs.

Hockey Night @ Kirkpatrick!
Tonight, Robby and I will once again be meeting up at Kirkpatrick Community Center to hang out with some kids from the James Cayce homes to play a little bit of street hockey. If you're free between 4:30 and 6, come on down to 620 S. 9th, 37206 and meet up with us. You dont necessarily have to get out there and shoot the pick, you just need to hang out with these awesome kids for a bit. I guarantee you'll fall in love.
This is a joint project between the Kirkpatrick Community Center and east Nashville community church. We're still looking for a few people to volunteer to help coach teams, starting in a few weeks. If you're interested, shoot me an email at email@example.com. Have a great evening...I know we will!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Sacramento Kings have hired rookie center DeMarcus Cousins' high school coach as an assistant.
Coach Paul Westphal announced the hiring of Otis Hughley on Thursday.
Hughley coached at LeFlore High School in Mobile, Ala., for seven years. Cousins played there under Hughley before going to Kentucky for one year. The Kings drafted him fifth overall last month.
Hughley has previously served as a college assistant at Wright State, Liberty and Southern. He has also coached for the league's NBA China program and worked at Pete Newell's "Big Man Camp."

FAYETTEVILLE Mississippi State Coach Rick Ray said his No. 1 concern going into Wednesday night's game at Arkansas was limiting turnovers against the Razorbacks' pressure defense.
It turned out Ray had a lot to be concerned about.
The Razorbacks forced the Bulldogs into a season-high 29 turnovers and beat Mississippi State 96-70 before an announced crowd of 9,072 in Walton Arena.
Arkansas outscored the Bulldogs 42-8 in points off turnovers and 23-3 on fast break points.
The Bulldogs had not committed that many turnovers since they had 31 at Kentucky on Jan. 7, 1997.
"At times it felt like there were more than five of us out there," said Razorbacks junior guard Fred Gulley, who had 5 points, 5 assists and 2 steals without a turnover. '"We really picked up the pace, and we played our style of basketball tonight. We sped them up and kind of had them play into our hands. We converted on a lot of steals, and we finished it."
The Razorbacks (12-6, 3-2 SEC) also had a season-high 11 blocked shots and held the Bulldogs to 40.7 percent shooting (22 of 54) from the field.
"Our pressure defense created a lot of havoc," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said. "We got a lot of easy opportunities from our defense. ... Those turnovers we got right there led to dunks or layups because of the fatigue factor."
The Bulldogs (7-10, 2-3) are down to nine players, including seven on scholarship, after losing three players to knee injuries.
"We saw them getting tired," Arkansas junior forward Coty Clarke said. "We knew coming in they were only to play eight players. Coach always speaks about our depth, so we had to apply the pressure. We were going to pick them up and wear them out."
Ray, in his first season as Mississippi State's coach after being an assistant at Clemson, had praise for Arkansas but said having 29 turnovers was "just a ridiculous amount" and that too many came on unforced errors.
"I thought we didn't make simple basketball plays," Ray said. "I thought we tried to dribble attack way too much instead of trying to simply find the open man. I thought our defense when it was set wasn't great, but a lot of those high-percentage shots were due the fact that we turned the basketball over.
"We simply can't give up 96 points in a ballgame and expect to have any sort of success."
Mississippi State freshman guards Craig Sword and Fred Thomas combined for 15 turnovers - nine by Sword and six by Thomas.
"We just weren't calm enough," said Thomas, who scored 17 points. "We just weren't taking care of the ball well. We were kind of loose with it. We really forced our own turnovers. They really didn't force our turnovers."
The Bulldogs' previous season high for turnovers had been 22 in an 89-62 loss to Marquette. They had 21 turnovers in four games.
"It is always concerning," Ray said of the Bulldogs' ball-handling. "We're last in the SEC in assist-to-turnover margin and we're like in the bottom 10 in the nation as far as assist-to-turnover margin.
"It's a concern when we play anybody, but especially a team like Arkansas that pressures and presses."
Junior forward Marshawn Powell led Arkansas (12-6, 3-2 SEC) with 17 points, hitting 6 of 12 field-goal attempts and 4 of 4 free throws. Sophomore guard BJ Young and Clarke scored 13 points each off the bench for the Razorbacks.
Young didn't start for the first time in the 17 games he's dressed out for this season. He missed the opener against Sam Houston State because of a disciplinary suspension, but Anderson said Young came off the bench Wednesday night because the coach wanted to give sophomore guard Ky Madden a start.
The Razorbacks had runs 14-1, 7-0, 9-0 and 16-0 during the game and led by as many as 30 points, 89-59, in the second half after being ahead 42-33 at halftime.
"It's what the fans came to see," Clarke said. "I just like to think we played together. This is what we're supposed to do. This is how this team is built to move the ball and share the ball and play exciting basketball."
The Razorbacks shot 49.3 percent from the field (33 of 67) and had 27 assists.
"It was a game of tempo and we established the tempo early," Anderson said. "When dribble penetrating was taking place, our guys were rotating and being active, getting out to the shooters and rebounding the ball, and then we shared the ball on the other end.
"I thought our intensity remained throughout the game. The cylinders were clicking."

Impure Nonsense
Mad Hattr at the Cell Theatre
By Steven Robert Allen
Laurie Thomas' Mad Hattr is a jabberwocked reenactment of the biography of Charles Dodgson, the English mathematician, photographer and writer who, under the name Lewis Carroll, authored what are quite possibly the most beloved works of children's literature ever composed in the English language. For decades, numerous societies and journals have analyzed the impact of this mysterious man, but despite recent scholarship based on new discoveries about his life, Dodgson remains a big question mark, a riddle just as mind-twisting as his books and poems.

I have tried to follow these instructions to add Asp.Net MVC 4 to an Asp.Net Webforms 4.5 web application:
The difference is that the article covers adding Asp.Net MVC 3 to an Asp.Net Webforms 4.0 application.
To get the application to build I also had to add the following nuget packages:
- Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
- Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost
- Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages
Along with any dependencies these packages have. (I assume these were needed due to some new stuff in the asp.net mvc 4 template, such as bundling and Web Api.)
When running the application I can access my webforms default.aspx page. But when trying to access the mvc route /Home/Index/ I get the following yellow screen of death:
Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on and what I need to do to get it running?

Thatcher Breaks An Arm; 'Bush 41' Set To Jump Again
Two world leaders from the recent past are back in the news today.
— In the U.K., former prime minister Margaret Thatcher is in a London hospital after breaking an arm in a fall. The BBC says the 83-year-old Thatcher is reportedly doing well. (None of the news reports we've scanned this morning tell us which arm she broke.)
— On this side of the Atlantic, former president George H. W. Bush is hoping to avoid any such injuries today. If the weather in Maine cooperates, he'll mark his 85th birthday with another parachute jump. He'll be assisted by the U.S. Army Parachute Team, the "Golden Knights."
Bush most recently jumped in November 2007. During World War II, he parachuted from his Navy plane after it was shot down over the Pacific.
If rain prevents a jump today, Bush is scheduled to try again tomorrow.

GREAT strap, even for DSLR/NEX
By louis9

Comments about Sony Shoulder Strap for VG Series Camcorders:
ive been through 4 straps trying to find the perfect one for my sony nex-5n this is the best one by far, and it wasnt the most expensive either. sony branded leather straps are too stiff and dig into your shoulder with sharp edges. this strap is far more comfortable and gets better over time plus its easy to clean just buy it
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Clinical Trials for Cancer
A clinical trial is a study of a new or different way to treat cancer. Often medicines or other treatments that are not yet proved to be effective with a particular cancer are tested. Such treatments might include hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or new surgical techniques.
People participating in clinical trials receive all other recommended treatments for their cancer and are closely monitored.
Participants in trials must meet the specific guidelines that each clinical trial has in order to be a part of the trial. Sometimes the clinical trials are conducted at major medical centers. Other times the trial participant receives treatment by the primary care doctor at home.
For more information, call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

"Inmates think one of two things when they come here. They either think of it as a catastrophe or as a challenge. Those who think of it as a challenge do well here."
"Are inmates part of a fix? Absolutely. But to send an inmate out as a quasi-United Nations representative? Who's controlling that? Who's running the damn place when you're using peacekeepers?"

Tasting rooms, breweries blamed for problems
"Alcohol-related crime is up 400 percent in Ocean Beach."
Mercy Baron 11:30 a.m., July 23
When I was coming back from New York on the plane, just before Comic-Con, David Gibbons, the illustrator and co-creator of WATCHMEN, the most successful graphic novel of all time, was sitting across the aisle from me, up one seat. A comic fan was talking his ear off, complaining effusively that Alan Moore, the writer and co-creator of WATCHMEN, V for Vendetta, and other popular works, wasn't "investing" in the success of the filmic adaptations of his works. I didn't say anything at the time, or think about it much. At Comic-Con, I saw David Gibbons, the same guy from the plane, on the big stage with the director of "300" and the actors of next year's potential blockbuster, WATCHMEN. Mr. Gibbons seemed to like to film. Then I heard a week or so later, what makes the comic-fan's complaint make sense: Alan Moore has refused to accept any of the money from any of the filmic adaptations of his works. Maybe the money is so filthy that he won't accept it because of his artistic integrity. I also heard Alan Moore writes with a pet snake on his shoulder. I don't really feel one way or the other. It's just interesting. And that is my note on existence for today.

Everyone was friendly on arrival, the only thing is on check out I explained to the receptionist that the mattress needs changing as the springs were digging into my back and it was quite uncomfortable.
The manager next to her just said he will get it changed. There was not really an apology or anything to rectify the situation.

this holiday is conveniently placed just by the m5, very easy to find and access.
easy to park, the staff were helpful and the hotel was very clean and tidy and great value
for money. only down side was on Saturday nights they only served snacks on their restaurant,
but there was a great beefeater across the road. the hot breakfast consisted of scramble egg,sausages and beans (and that's it!)
would have been nice to have a bit more of a choice... but they have lots of other breakfast foods inc. cereal, toast ect..

Breakfast a disaster area
Room very comfortable and at a good price.
Welcome at check in was poor, no warmth just a process. Breakfast was just a disaster area, no cereal, no milk, no eggs and clearly not enough staff to cope with demand at peak time

One night family stay.
Two girls 8 and 6.
My mum and me. Family food. Bed settee and double bed. All good. No quarrels. Does what it says on the tin. Didn't try the food at night. Popped over the road to the beefeater pub. Breakfast ticked all the boxes. Even the kids were happy.

Very good place to stay and will be staying there again
Room fine clean and well presented.
Cable out of TV so took a while to turn on. Wifi was brilliant worth stopping just for stream speed.

Good night spent!
Room appeared clean if a little jaded.
Good TV. Good sound proofing due to proximity of motorway. Air conditioning functioning well, but direction of air flow was directly onto the bed, not always advisable as many clients dislike this. The bathroom toilet had a slight stale odour, but this not atypical in hotels of this type irrespective of chain. Staff always obliging, courteous and pleasant. Food adequate. Bed comfortable. Overall a positive experience, good value at the price I paid.

I have three tables associated and am trying to do a simple search.
User Table
ID | Name
User_Contacts Table
User_ID | Contact_ID | Updated_At
Contacts Table
ID | Name
I currently have my associations set up such that I can do the following
@contacts = @current_user.contacts
and have the User_Contacts table returned. I would like to keep it this way because I still need my updated_at attribute in my view.
Now what I need to do is some how search through the contacts table and find every contact where there name is like "%mike%" and have this update my @contacts variable. Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong way but I'm clueless where to start.
Thanks in advance.

Rick Fires is a reporter and columnist for the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
National Signing Day:
Hall, Frazier heading to SEC schools
Springdale Har-Ber senior defensive end Jake Hall (94) makes a move around Webb City senior running back Trey Parra during the third quarter of play Friday, Sept. 6, 2013, at Jarrell Williams Bulldog Stadium in Springdale.
SPRINGDALE The good-natured teasing between Josh Frazier and Jake Hall has already begun.
The former Springdale Har-Ber teammates are both headed to the Southeastern Conference this fall after signing football national letters of intent on Wednesday. Hall signed with Arkansas, while Frazier stuck with Alabama.
The two hope to be in uniform when Alabama faces Arkansas in Fayetteville on Oct. 11.
"Jake, me and him kind of get into little arguments about who is going to beat who the next four years," said Frazier, who played noseguard for the Wildcats. "Jake sits there and laughs and we kind of go back-and-forth about it."
While Frazier began the year as a top national recruit, Hall used a strong senior season at defensive end to earn a scholarship offer from the Razorbacks. He drew attention with nine tackles against Fort Smith Southside and finished the year with 67 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles.
Hall (6-foot6, 230 pounds) chose Arkansas over scholarship offers from Cincinnati and Louisiana-Monroe.
"When the season rolled around, I finally caught the eye of the Hogs," said Hall, who wore a Razorbacks jacket after signing at 7:20 a.m. on Wednesday. "It was a long process and I'm very excited that all my hard work has paid off."
Hall said some college teams were initially interested in him as an offensive lineman. But he wanted to stay on defense and that led to a rigorous off-season program that enabled him to lose 20 pounds and increase his speed.
"Jake's upside is his work ethic," Har-Ber coach Chris Wood said. "With Arkansas strength coach, Ben Herbert, Jake is going to continue to develop his body. People will be asking 'where did this kid come from'? I think he'll have a solid career by the time he's finished playing at Arkansas."
Frazier and Hall were joined by three other Har-Ber football players who signed letters of intent on the first day of the national signing period. Center Sam Struebing signed with Hendrix while offense tackles Isaac Johnson and Chad Birkes signed with Tulsa and Henderson State, respectively.
"When you have guys come in as 10th-graders, you want them to achieve their goals," Wood said. "So, this is an exciting day to have five guys get scholarship money and continue their education in college."
Frazier (6-3, 330) decided on Alabama after beginning the year with more than 20 offers from Division I schools, including Arkansas, USC and Texas A&M. He finished the season with 49 tackles and 5 sacks. His best game came against Fayetteville when he had two sacks and intercepted a pass in overtime to secure a Har-Ber victory.
Frazier committed to Alabama in November and his signature Wednesday helped the Tide land what most analyst consider the top recruiting class in the country.
"Alabama has a big foundation and I like the way they do things down there," Frazier said. "I want coaches who are going to be there for me all four years. Of course, they're winners and that helps. They were No. 1 in the country at the time I committed."
Johnson, 6-foot-5, 270 pounds, is also headed to a Division 1 school at Tulsa after starting for two years at offensive tackle. Har-Ber averaged 36.7 points per game last fall with Johnson, Birkes, and Struebing leading the way for Sain Mathew, who set a school single-season rushing record with 1,926 yards.

Hello all,
Thanks for your advice about salary/benefits for an entry level web designer.
I had an interview this morning with a small web design firm, and they offered to take me on as a subcontractor for $20-$25/hour. This seems like a really good deal for me, as I will be able to work my own hours, and also have a chance to learn from some really fantastic designers.
I am not too familiar with subcontracting agreements. Do anyone have any advice on what to look for in the agreement? Have you been burned before by bad contracts? I am assuming that benefits will be minimal, but I'm not too concerned for now, since I have medical insurance and retirement planning through my wife's job.
Thanks again!

The U.S. government, in a first, is preparing to approve a private commercial space mission beyond the Earth's orbit, the Wall Street Journal has reported.
Two state-of-the-art airport towers due to go into operation this fall in San Francisco and Las Vegas will first need extensive remodeling to make room for technology that dates backs to the early days of air traffic control, according to union officials.
Madonna on Thursday triumphed in a copyright case concerning her song "Vogue," in a victory for artists seeking to use samples.
A U.S. hedge fund took legal action Thursday to force the government of Peru to pay off US$1.6 billion worth of defaulted bonds issued by the country's former military regime.
Brazil's economy shrank 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2016, officials said Wednesday, in a slightly better than expected performance, but far from lifting the deep gloom over Latin America's economic powerhouse.
U.S. car buyers are tapping the brakes. Sales of cars, trucks and SUVs fell 6 percent last month, to 1.54 million, according to AutoData Corp. It was the biggest monthly drop in nearly six years. The decline was unusual for May, a month when Americans typically buy cars ahead of summer road trips.
Fresh problems for "Obamacare": The largest health insurer in Texas wants to raise its rates on individual policies by an average of nearly 60 percent, a new sign that President Barack Obama's overhaul hasn't solved the problem of price spikes.
The U.S. Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S. economy grew at a modest pace in much of the country from April to mid-May, despite headwinds ranging from slower consumer spending to ongoing weakness in the manufacturing and the energy sectors.
U.S. consumer spending recorded its biggest increase in more than six years in April as households stepped up purchases of automobiles, suggesting an acceleration in economic growth that could persuade the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates soon.
U.S. home prices kept climbing in March as the spring home buying season began, but so far the higher costs haven't thwarted sales.
