I am using EclipseLink 2.4.1 with Glassfish and a MySQL database for persisting entities.
I added a field to an entity, and when I try to persist this entity it says the new field is 'unknown'.
How are we supposed to use the new 'create-or-extend-tables' feature? I would have thought it would create a new column for this field.
Some relevant information is below, let me know if you want more.
Thanks in advance!

Extra Info
drop-and-create-tables does work.
I am using merge(entity) to persist new entities (as they have lots of many to one fields which causes duplicate primary id issues otherwise) - I feel this may be the issue.
Looking at the MySQL log, and the finest log level from EclipseLink, EclipseLink first tries to select the entity from the database as follows:
121115 10:49:03 9 Query SELECT t0.LISTINGID, t0.DTYPE, ... , t0.TESTFIELD FROM the_entity...
This is the last mysql log entry, meaning that it crashes here, it never tries to drop the table etc. Does this mean you cannot use merge with drop-and-create or create-or-extend? I just did a google and didn't find any info on this.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
A sequel that surpasses expectations
Being a huge fan of Robert Downey Jr., I naturally want to see everything that he is in. When I found out that he was Iron Man, I was intrigued and excited. I loved the first movie and eagerly anticipated the second one. When it came out, I was worried it would not live up to my expectations.
I needn't have worried; the movie surpassed my expectation. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect. I just wanted the relationship between Stark and Potts to develop more. I liked that there were links to other Avenger characters, such as the mention of New Mexico and a drawing of the Tesseract. At the time, of course, I didn't make the connection because I hadn't seen any of the other Avenger movies. Now that I have, I look for the hints that are cleverly placed in all films.
Robert Downey Jr. once again shines as Tony Stark. You see his vulnerability in this one when he realizes that the palladium heart he uses to stay alive is also what is killing him. Downey, of course, makes Tony real. He makes mistakes and then tries to recover from them. He is arrogant and egotistical, humble and scared. Downey allows Tony to show all of these emotions without making him a caricature. He really is one of the greatest actors of his generation.
Returning as Pepper Potts is Gwyneth Paltrow. As in the first film, Potts does not have a lot to do but still needs to be rescued. Paltrow plays Potts well; at one point I wanted to throw something at her for the way she treats Tony. I get that she's irritated by his behavior, but the fact that he's trying to make amends should count for something yet she doesn't think so. Paltrow is perfect.
Don Cheadle takes over the role of Colonel James Rhodes from Terrance Howard. I really wanted to hate Cheadle; Howard was so perfect as Rhodey. However, Cheadle did a great job and at times, I forgot that Howard didn't return to the sequel. We get to see Cheadle suit up in this one as War Machine and I loved when both he and Stark teamed up for battle.
Academy Award winner Mickey Rourke is Ivan Vankov, a Russian determined to get revenge on Tony for what Howard Stark did to his father. Rourke is convincing as Vankov, carrying the Russian accent perfectly and makes you believe that he really is Vankov. One interesting thing to note is that the beautiful bird that was in the film was at the request of Rourke. He wanted Vankov to have a human side and have love for something, and so the bird was added into the film. This was a risky move that works. Although you know that he's up to no good, you can't help but like him when he requests that his bird is with him when he works.
The rest of the cast is rounded out with Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Clark Gregg and Samuel L. Jackson. Of course, each is wonderful in their roles. It was nice to see Jackson and Gregg return as their characters from S.H.I.E.L.D. and introduce us to Johansson as well. There's a bit of a hint as to who she really is early in the film when she takes Happy down in a boxing move, but you have a tendency to forget that until her alter ego of Natasha Romanov is revealed.
Graphics play a huge part in this movie and rightfully so. Tony is an innovator and a step ahead of modern technology. It makes me hope that everything he uses will eventually be in every household in the world. Audi also makes a guest appearance when Tony drives a few of his cars in the film.
Many people were worried that Iron Man 2 wouldn't be as good as the first one, but those worries were quickly put to rest. For a sequel, it is everything it should be. Here's hoping the bar is raised even higher in Iron Man 3.
Prom (2011)
One night can change everything
I never went to my high school prom. So normally I would avoid a movie with this title like the plague, but as I caught it on TV one night, my interest was piqued. After watching it, I discovered I really liked it. A cute movie about an important rite of passage: senior prom.
The movie stars Aimee Teegarden as Nova Prescott, your typical honor student. She's class president, valedictorian and has won hundreds of awards. She's also chair of the prom committee and is devastated when the decorations are ruined a few weeks before prom. Teegarden gives a believable portrayal of a snobbish good girl who opens her eyes and her heart to the rebel without a cause. She is also very pretty and you feel her pain when Jesse rejects her.
That rebel is Jesse Richter, played by Thomas McDonell. Giving the "who cares?" image, McDonell is perfect as Jesse. He wears the typical leather jacket, drives a motorcycle and doesn't care what others think about him except for Nova. We see him slowly change during the course of the movie and begin caring about prom and the young class president. One of my favorite scenes is when he first sees her in her prom dress. The look on his face is of a man in love. McDonell is perfect in this role and my favorite in the film.
With the exception of these two leads, the rest of the movie is made up of a plethora of different characters. There's the sophomore boy, Lucas, who is in love with his classmate Simone, who wants to go to prom with the biggest jock in school. He, in turn, is a player and courts another woman at the same time. There's the "forever" couple that have been together since junior high, Mei and Justin. Mei has just accepted an offer to attend Parson's for design in the fall, despite her boyfriend believing they are going to the University of Michigan. One person I really enjoyed was Rolo, who goes through the whole movie claiming that his date will be coming to prom, but us never seeing her. While I knew what the ending to that story would be, it was nonetheless enjoyable to watch.
Do not think that this movie does not contain adults; it does and strong role models as well. Jesse's mother is a no-nonsense woman who makes him see the light near the end of the film. Nova's parents want what is best for her and when her father thinks she'll make a decision she'll regret, he intervenes. "I know you thought you were doing what's best for me, but tonight could have been one of those great things," Nova tells him after. While not necessarily right in his assumptions, you can understand why her father did what he did. He is not portrayed as the bad guy in this film, or as a laughable character. He is portrayed as a loving father who wants what is best for his little girl.
Special effects in this movie are minimal; but in a story like this, you do not need a lot of graphics. The dresses worn by the girls at prom were beautiful, but a few looked too conservative for high school. However, this being a Disney film, that was probably a requirement. Another nice change of pace is the lack of swearing that so often accompanies high school students. Again, being a Disney film, swearing is not allowed.
While not the best movie in the world, I found myself quite entertained throughout it and eagerly anticipated the next time I would see it. If you are sick of the typical movie produced in Hollywood today, give Prom a chance. A nice movie without a political message, you will be thinking about it after it is done.
Dread (2009)
Dread the dread
I am not a rabid horror fan. I like horror movies, but most of the ones that come out do not interest me. So when I saw that Twilight star Jackson Rathbone had made a horror movie (during the high point of Twilight's popularity), I knew I had to see it regardless. I give it 6 out of 10 mainly due to the ending.
Dread is about college students who find out about people's innermost fears. One young man, Quaid, saw his parents killed when he was a kid and he's thoroughly messed up for life (understandably). He is obsessed with this project and with getting his way. Shaun Evans stars as Quaid and brings a craziness to the role. You can see his descent into madness after he stops taking his medication. At first, his obsession is small, but as he begins to hurt his friends, you realize he's completely gone. Excellent.
Jackson Rathbone is Stephen, a film student needing a thesis project. He agrees to go along with Quaid and does a fear study, believing that it is just a school project. Rathbone is perfect as Stephen. He is completely convincing as a naive man who realizes Quaid's sociopath tendencies, albeit a little too late. At the climax, when Rathbone goes to Quaid's house near the end, you can tell that he himself has descended into madness. There is a reason why Rathbone is making his mark in the film industry; he has the talent.
Laura Donnelly played Abby, my favorite character in the film. Abby felt discriminated against her entire life because she has a full birthmark on the right-hand side of her body. She hates it and believes it is why she is not beautiful (I beg to differ). During her segment of the fear study, she says that she realized in kindergarten that her birthmark was something to be ashamed of and every time she meets someone new, she returns to that fateful day. She also has a crush on Stephen and believes his rejection of her is because of the birthmark, when it actually is not. We never really find out what happens to her after she tries to remove the birthmark near the end of the film, and I wish we had.
Cheryl Fromm is played by Hanne Steen. Cheryl is also a film student who partners with Stephen to work on the fear study. Steen was very convincing, especially when we learn why she can't stand to look at a piece of meat. I did not find her as attractive as Donnelly, however. She did very well when locked in a room in Quaid's home, although we also never find out what happens to her. I have my assumptions, but it would have been nice to have a concrete answer.
Dread is based on the short story by Clive Barker. When they made the movie, they changed the ending. I know that Hollywood is famous for this, but I wish they had kept the original ending. I think it would have been more fitting to the story. With the ending that we are given, we see some good acting from Rathbone and Steen.
This is another movie that does not rely on effects too much to tell a story. However, there is blood so if you are squeamish, you may want to avoid this. Unlike other horror movies, I did not find the blood count to be too bad in this one. In some films, I believe they go for shock value and try for as much blood and gore as possible. While it is present in Dread, there are only a few scenes that show it.
This movie was effective for me in regards to thinking about your innermost fears. I know mine came to the surface while watching this film, along with a few others. It takes courage to admit what scares you the most, and even more courage to face the demon head-on. This film looks at both those aspects.
I do not know if I will add Dread to my collection as I did not like it that much. However, I am glad that I saw it to show support to Rathbone. As long as Twilight fans continue to support their actors, Rathbone will have a long career ahead of him. Regardless, I will be eagerly watching him.
Cowgirls 'n Angels (2012)
Angels Indeed
I will admit, I wanted to see this movie only for Jackson Rathbone. But because of my interest in him, I discovered a cute movie. Cowgirls 'n Angels is about a 12-year-old girl named Ida who joins a touring rodeo company called the Sweethearts in order to find her estranged father. Along the way, she learns about responsibility and the value of friendship.
Bailee Madison stars as Ida Stanton. She gives a great performance as a girl on her own, not respecting authority who finds friendship where she least expects it. James Cromwell is the owner of the Sweethearts, a female rodeo touring company. I loved Cromwell in this role. He was authoritative when he had to be but also makes time for the girls. You can tell that he loves the Sweethearts with everything he's got.
Alicia Witt is Elaine, Ida's mother. Elaine believes that all people involved with the rodeo are "lowlifes" because her husband was one. She forbids Ida to participate at first, and then changes her mind at the thought of money. Although I liked Witt in this role, I wish that she had more to do. She doesn't really ever understand Ida's desire to know her father, yet does a great job trying to keep her from meeting him. She allows Ida to be a part of the Sweethearts, but I don't believe she ever really understands her daughter.
Dora Madison Burge is Kansas, one of the Sweetheart riders. She is instantly nice to Ida and the two form a bond. Burge shined when she had to make a decision about whether to stay with the Sweethearts or pursue love when it comes calling. Although I did not agree with her decision, I enjoyed watching her in this role and looking at her profile on IMDb, she is in hot demand.
Jackson Rathbone is Justin, Kansas's boyfriend. Rathbone is originally from Texas, so it was no problem for him to speak with his Western accent. Although Justin does not have a lot to do in this film, every time he was on the screen, I smiled. Rathbone brings sweetness to Justin that makes you understand why Kansas chooses him over the rodeo. And with his cowboy hat and beard, Rathbone was very attractive. And I literally swooned when he tipped his cowboy hat.
The rest of the cast also excelled in their roles. I did not find one person out of place and believed that the mean girls really were mean and the men that they met along the way were genuine cowboys. The acting was not over the top from anyone and I hope to see everyone in future roles.
One thing I liked about this movie (besides the horses of course) was that it did not rely on special effects to enhance the story. While some movies nowadays spend millions on effects to make a poor story spectacular, Cowgirls 'n Angels relied on the plot and the acting itself to attract the audience. And of course, horses help too. I was nervous watching the film, worried that a horse would get hurt.
Overall, Cowgirls 'n Angels was pretty good. There were times when I wanted to smack Ida for being so difficult and other times when I wanted to run off with Justin. A simple story with a message, I hope to see this movie again.
Criminal Minds: Conflicted (2009)
An outstanding guest performance
Whoever said Jackson Rathbone can't act has NEVER seen his performance on Criminal Minds. It is an outstanding piece of acting and Rathbone is convincing as Adam Jackson. When he becomes Amanda, his split-personality, his whole demeanor changes. Not only does his voice get higher, but he walks like a woman. Men tend to walk from the shoulders and women walk from the hips. As Amanda, his hips were moving. And there was something about his eyes. They were so expressive, I felt that it really WAS Amanda in there. Rathbone has impressed me in his other work that he's done, but my favorite so far is this episode titled "Conflicted."
Yes, I am a Twilight fan and watched Criminal Minds for Rathbone. But, I know good acting when I see it and Rathbone nailed this episode. I am surprised he didn't receive an Emmy nomination for guest actor as it was that good. Rathbone is an up-and-coming actor. We'll see more of him in the future.
Thor (2011)
Earth never knew what hit it
I have to admit, I only became interested in seeing Thor because of The Avengers. I remember sitting in the theater thinking "that Thor guy is kind of hot." Well, after the movie was over, I knew that I had to see Thor and learn more about the leading actor.
In Thor, the God of Thunder is set to inherit the throne from his father when the castle is attacked by the Frost Giants. In retaliation, Thor and his brother travel to their realm and a fight breaks out. Lives are lost on both sides. As punishment for his actions, Thor's father Odin strips the future king of his title and all honors bestowed on him. He then banishes Thor to Earth.
Thor is now mortal, wandering around Earth but still thinking he is a god. He befriends Jane Foster; a beautiful scientist who is immediately attracted to him. Thor gets into some trouble, but always makes sure to place Jane out of harm's way. When Thor's mischievous brother Loki assumes the throne and lies to Thor about their father's death, Thor sacrifices himself to keep Jane safe during a showdown. This heroic act brings his powers back and Thor returns to Asgard to battle his brother.
Chris Hemsworth stars in the title role. Did I say he was "kind of" hot? My mistake. He's incredibly hot. Not only did I enjoy the visual of him, I enjoyed his portrayal of Thor as well. Hemsworth shines as the God of Thunder. He plays him arrogant, self-obsessive and rude then he changes. We see Thor become sweet and understand that simply killing an entire race just because you want to is wrong. This is brilliantly done as Hemsworth makes Thor likable.
Jane is portrayed by Oscar winner Natalie Portman. Jane is the reason why Thor cares for Earth; he believes there is good on the planet and swears to protect it. Portman shows much emotion as Jane, such as when she thinks Thor has died or when chasing satellites and other scientific things. While her emotions are there, Portman herself has little to do throughout the movie besides running around and drooling over Thor's body.
Tom Hiddleston is Loki, the God of Mischief. One thing that I liked about Hiddleston's portrayal is that he makes Loki sympathetic. I could tell that Loki really did care for his family and wanted his father's approval; he just went about it the wrong way. Hiddleston's descent into madness is brilliantly subtle. You see his change when he realizes he's adopted, then when he takes the throne, then drunk with power. You see even more of that descent into madness in The Avengers. And while he fights his brother, I believed that he would lay his weapon down if Thor would have treated him as his equal. Hiddleston was one of my favorites of this film.
Sir Anthony Hopkins plays the King of Asgard, Odin. This supporting part should have been bigger, but he spends half of it in "Odin sleep." However, if he hadn't been in this, Loki would have had no reason to assume the throne. Hopkins is great at trying to convince Loki that he loves him, even though Loki refuses to believe it. And I liked when Odin snapped Thor's ego back into place when he banishes him to Earth.
Darcy Lewis is played by Kat Dennings. While I have no problem with Dennings, I thought Darcy was completely pointless in the film. Her character was a bit annoying and did not move the plot at all. Had Darcy been eliminated, the story would have continued on. She was not a vital part.
The effects in this movie are alone enough of a reason to see it. Practically all of Asgard is computer generated and the Rainbow Bridge is phenomenal. I especially enjoyed the battle between Thor and Loki, seeing the different effects used with the scepter and the hammer and the effect to create multiple Lokis. Another great graphic is the castle itself; it made me believe that gods really lived there.
Thor is not a great movie; it will not win any Oscars. However, it was fun to watch and a great introduction to a character that gets screen time in The Avengers. I have heard that a sequel to Thor is in the works. I hope that the major characters return, but most especially Loki. He deserves another chance to shine.
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Great interpretation of a classic!
I loved everything about this movie. The acting, the effects, the story; it was a magical ride. I was saddened to hear that this movie was panned when I found it quite entertaining. I think some people get too caught up in original stories and can't let interpretations happen. I liked how they tied the original story into this new adaptation. The huntsman, the apple, the dwarfs are all there; this just creates a different angle.
Kristen Stewart stars in the title role of Snow White. A fan of hers since Twilight, I was eager to see her in a completely different role. While she did display some of her classic deer-in-the-headlights look, she did also show emotion and empathy throughout the film. Some would say she is unattractive, but I find her to be. I thought she was quite beautiful in this, most especially when she wore her white dress.
Chris Hemsworth is the Huntsman. I have only recently discovered this man, having seen The Avengers, and am in love. He is not only attractive; he is a good actor too. As the Huntsman, he does not get to portray a wide variety of emotions, but the ones he does portray were realistic. The Huntsman is angry that his wife has died and wants to join her. He provokes fights because he doesn't care about anyone or anything. He is sent on the mission to bring Snow White to the queen and along the way he begins to warm up to her. His intentions change along with his feelings and Hemsworth shows this. By the end, you are convinced that he is in love with her. Hemsworth does this beautifully.
Charlize Theron is Queen Ravenna and is brilliant in the part. Although I wanted to see SWATH for the budding romance, I was instantly drawn to the queen. I couldn't help smiling when she was on screen as she is the quintessential villain. Theron plays her evilly, yet with empathy. You actually understand why she is the way she is, and in a way, you want her to win. She is perfect when yelling orders (which she does quite frequently) and her scene where she felt her brother's pain was excellent. It is easy to see why this Oscar-winning actress was desired for this role. She emulates the queen perfectly. If someone did not like Stewart or Hemsworth, that person should see this movie for Theron alone. It would be interesting to see a prequel regarding the queen's life prior to Snow White.
Bob Hoskins is almost unrecognizable as Muir, one of the dwarfs. I had no idea it was him until the end credits. His line "you have eyes, Huntsman, but you do not see" wraps up the then-budding relationship of Snow White and the Huntsman. He knew that she was the king's daughter, but he was unaware just how powerful she would be. I believe this is one of the reasons why he fell in love with her. Hoskins' character, of course, already knew it, even though he could not physically see it.
Sam Claflin shines as William. I was not a fan of the love triangle that was emerging in the story; I solely wanted Snow White with the Huntsman. But then I started thinking of how much fun that could be. The two of them could battle for her affections and cause some very comedic moments. In this story, the romance with both of them is pretty subtle; you would miss it if you weren't looking. The only real indication is that William kisses Snow White when he thinks she's dead.
The biggest stars of this movie are the special effects. I was quite blown away by the way they made the queen get to Snow White and how they portrayed the mirror. The music complements nicely and I want to add the soundtrack to my collection. For the most part, it is all instrumental, but the songs that aren't fit perfectly.
In the original story, Snow White's spell is broken by the kiss from a handsome prince. In Snow White and the Huntsman, the spell is broken another way. I loved this because I was rooting for the Huntsman and this gesture proved that HE was her one true love.
My only complaint with this movie regards the white horse that Snow White rides. When he drops into the mud and not able to go on, we are not shown what happened to the horse in the Dark Forest. Perhaps we are to think that he is magic and disappeared right after Snow White ran away. After all, he was just sitting on the beach waiting patiently for her after she escaped the castle. But we don't know that for a fact. I would have liked the horse to have appeared in a scene later, showing the audience that he was okay and letting Snow White know she was the one to "heal the land."
Snow White and the Huntsman is not the best movie of all time, but it is a good time. I enjoyed it and will recommend it to people. It is a new twist on a classic tale and one that can be taken into interesting territory if played right. The end of the movie hints at a sequel and I am excited to see what that will bring. No doubt there will be more depth to the budding relationship between the two leads. Regardless of where they go, they have a franchise on their hands. Snow White and the Huntsman is a fun ride.
Act of Valor (2012)
Our TRUE American Heroes
There's a lot of negativity about the acting in this movie; people are saying that the SEALS are wooden and do not show emotion. To that I say, they are not actors, they are military men. They are not trained to show emotion. They are not trained to be actors. There are no acting classes in boot camp. These are actual Navy SEALS doing a movie. And while the storyline is fiction, the film itself is based on real acts of valor that these men do every day. It did not matter to me if their performances were wooden (and personally, I did not think so). I saw the film for what it was: a pro-military, pro-American movie proudly made by our heroes. And I was proud to be an American while watching it. I cannot get this movie out of my head.
Had Act of Valor not been about our heroes in fatigues, I probably would have given it a miss. There's a huge body count and a lot of action to entertain the male sex, but generally not me. However, since I have seen this movie twice and will many more times, I must say that the violence did not bother me as much as I thought. This could be because this is what the SEALS deal with every day and I felt that I got a first-hand look at a day in the life. Either that or my preferences are changing.
I thought everyone in the movie was fabulous in their roles, including the SEALS. There were times when we laughed and times when we cried out. There were also times when we just cried. The plot kept me engaged and graphics were good. To me, it felt comparable to a high-priced Spielberg movie. The action was wonderfully paced; just when you thought it was safe, something new popped up. It was hard to decipher between the two main SEALS in the movie, but that did not detract from my enjoyment. Be sure to bring your tissues as I guarantee you will tear up at the end. I overheard some men say as we left that they had the sniffles too. And the touching tribute to the SEALS that have died in the line of duty will cause a permanent lump in your throat.
One interesting note is that their names do appear in the credits; however you only see their title and last name. This is no doubt for their safety. And here on IMDb, you do not see them listed at all. I think that was a smart move; I would have been fine if they had not listed their names at all during the end credits. Perhaps they wanted a bit of glory.
The title song of the movie is Keith Urban's "For You" and it fits perfectly. The more times I hear this song, the more I tear up. The rest of the soundtrack is just as good and includes artists like Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd and Lady Antebellum. The score is also attention-grabbing and dramatic.
I enjoyed everything about this movie and am eagerly looking forward to having it in my collection. For those who love America, you will enjoy this film. Act of Valor is not Top Gun, nor does it pretend to be. See this for what it is; a film made by TRUE patriots who risk their lives every day to protect our freedom. Damn Few.
Love & Distrust (2010)
Likable and Tolerable
Unlike other reviewers of this film, I will not whine about how "bad" it is or ask for my money back. While I agree this is not the best film, it is not the worst. It is a series of five vignettes all tied together under two crucial elements: love and distrust. While the plots of the short stories don't have a direct link, they all share this common ground.
'The Summer House' stars Robert Pattinson in a five minute role. He is a lovelorn boy who desperately wants to get back with his former girlfriend. As with most one-acts, it makes no sense whatsoever. While his performance is good, the rest of the story revolves around the moon landing. I was wondering what the point of the summer house was; why didn't it just focus solely on the moon landing and not on the ended relationship? 'Blue Poles' stars Sam Worthington. He is riding with a woman that he picked up on the road. She is rude to him and he tells her he wants to see the blue poles. They sleep together and she leaves him the next day. Another case of a one-act making absolutely no sense, I found this to be the least intriguing of the five.
'Grasshopper' stars James Franco. He is a young executive who meets this woman on a train. She wears heavy makeup and hooker-like clothing; no doubt a prostitute. He is intrigued by her, but at the same time cautious. He tries to befriend her but she doesn't want that. They both end up in the same motel, right next to each other. A tragedy occurs the next morning and Franco leaves the town he's in, never forgetting her.
'Pennies' was an intriguing look at a woman's desperation to do anything for her daughter. Starring Amy Adams, she receives a phone call reminding her that she owes money and that they have her daughter. Throughout the day, Adams' character waits tables and has enough money by the time limit when a robber comes in and takes it all away again. 'Pennies' is a takeoff of the song "Pennies from Heaven," in which good things can happen from people you least expect it. Throughout the short, Adams' character realizes that people are kind at heart.
'Auto Motives' is about what goes on in peoples' cars. A man tries to pick up women on the streets of New York while a woman in a limo laments about her divorce. The best part of this vignette was Robert Downey Jr breaking into James Cameron's house and stealing his Camaro. Downey's screen time is five minutes, but it is five minutes well spent.
I rented this movie because I am a Pattinson and Downey fan and their names drew me in. However, after seeing it, I can honestly say my favorite vignette was 'Grasshopper.' By far the most serious and depressing, it is also the best written. Franco shines in this role and his co-star, Rachel Miner, reminds me of Kirsten Dunst. While I enjoyed Downey and Pattinson, of course, Franco's performance outshined all of them.
I am glad that I saw this, but it isn't one I will add to my collection.
Paranormal Activity (2007)
The best horror movie I've ever seen
Paranormal Activity is a scary movie. It's not a "how much blood and gore can we incorporate into this movie and get the death count up to one hundred movie." No, it's psychologically scary and therefore is more affective.
I've seen many horror movies that focus on murder and blood (Halloween, Scream, Bleed), that becomes boring after awhile. You lose count of who dies and I generally find that by the end, I don't care at all. Paranormal Activity stayed with me after it was over because my mind was replaying what I had seen. It made me wonder if the paranormal really does exist and for once, I wasn't completely denying that fact.
I first became interested in this movie when I saw Eclipse. The trailer for Paranormal Activity 2 was shown and my interest was piqued. I rented the first, not really knowing what to expect, and was pleased to see it was a low-budget film shot in a director's house. He hired four actors for the film and did not use many special effects. Movies like this are always a gem to find when they work. And it does.
Here is the plot: Micah and Katie have dated for awhile and decide to live together. It wasn't until after they moved in together that she revealed a secret: she has a demon following her. They hire an expert to check the house out for any signs that it is haunted. The expert says yes, it is and the demon wants Katie.
Throughout the movie, you see things happen, mainly at night, to let the viewer know that the demon is alive and well. A door opens and closes by itself, a sheet is drawn back on the couple sleeping in bed, lights turn on and off in a hallway. It's little things like these that are the scariest.
As the movie progresses, more and more things happen and the demon becomes more and more angry. A picture of the couple is smashed with the crack over Micah's face, Katie is pulled out of bed by the demon and Micah has to rescue her, etc. It all leads up to the shocking and unexpected conclusion.
This film pays homage to The Blair Witch Project in that it's shot with a small camera and is documented. Also, the characters are annoying at times. At several points throughout the film, I found myself wishing that Katie would either shut up or be killed by the demon. She really got on my nerves. I could understand her stress and frustration throughout the film, but the way she was acting was completely childish.
That's not to say that the actress herself didn't do a good job. She did. In fact, both of the leads did. I found myself drawn into the story more and their talent is what made the ending so shocking for me. That and the fact that Micah is absolutely gorgeous. I kept wishing he'd dump Katie and go in search to find me. I felt that I would be a better girlfriend than Katie was. And I'm not being stalked by a demon.
The setting is modern-day, in southern California. The house is too huge for Micah's salary and Katie's student status, but what do you expect in Hollywood? In movies, people without money are the ones with the biggest homes. As it is filmed with a hand-held camera, graphics are minimal and there is a bluish hue when filming at night. It does not detract at all; rather remind you that this is a "documentary" and "regular people" going about their lives.
The sequel is what interested me in this movie and now I plan to trek to the theater to see it when it opens in a few weeks. But before I do that, I will rent this again to re-familiarize myself with the characters and pick up on things I might have missed the first time. I hope Paranormal Activity 2 is just as good as the first one. If so, a franchise will be born and two young actors will quickly climb to the A list. And who knows? Maybe there is a hint of truth to the film.

The European ruling class might have gotten their first glimpse at pitchforks and torches over the weekend when anti-EU parties made gains across the continent. That doesn't mean the European Parliament is being quickly ushered to the guillotine; but the anti-EU victories can't possibly be a comforting sight to the bureaucrats who have run Europe's economy for the last decade. From Scotland to Greece, citizens seem to be growing increasingly weary of the European experiment. A Margaret Thatcher renaissance seems to have swept Europe over the weekend.
Breitbart London began their report on the political earthquake by quoting Charles de Gaulle. "Europe is France and Germany. Everything else is just the garnishes." (Actually, that's pretty modest for a Frenchman.) In that light, the anti-EU victories throughout the rest of socialist-land (Europe) seem somewhat insignificant… But, that doesn't mean they are unworthy of mention.

Warm Bean & Arugula Salad
In this salad, saucy, lemony beans stand in for a warm dressing, coating the arugula and wilting it just a bit to mellow its naturally assertive character. Add a piece of warm crusty bread and a glass of crisp white wine to make this an excellent light supper.
- 1 ounce prosciutto
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 15-ounce cans white beans
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Freshly ground pepper
- 8 cups arugula
- Step 1
- Cook prosciutto in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- Step 2
- Add oil to the pan and place over medium-low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, being careful not to brown the garlic, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in beans and broth; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Add lemon juice, parsley and pepper; stir to combine. Place arugula in a large bowl. Add the bean mixture and toss to coat. Top with the prosciutto.

Ready in 1 hour
These are great chewy cookies with a lot of flavor. Using egg whites, only 1/4 cup of margarine, and mini-chocolate chips makes these a lighter option, but you will not sacrifice flavor. They do not spread, so make sure you shape them how you prefer before baking. I preferred the thicker cookies.
57 people want to try | 83 have favorited
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg whites and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. When it is fully incorporated, mix in the rolled oats and mini-chocolate chips.
Drop by rounded tablespoon-fulls onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
helltothenawnaw 11m agoThese were not good at all. Not chewy, not tasty.
sheryl_buttaritrost 1y agoMade these with Ener-G egg replacement and chocolate chunks, turned out great. The do not spread, as the recipe states, so you can shape them how you'd like. I made some square and some giant blobs!

Look at how wrong you are. If he can do all that with just skittles and tea wow. I'd be scared too. When he is bashing my head of the ground. Yes, you will have extra holes in you by the time everything is said and done.

#640 to #639 - CXJokerXD (06/14/2012) [-]They showed a picture and video not right after the incident and he had no bloody nose or damaged nose and no black eye. A kid bashing a grown man's head? If a 17 year old can do that to a grown man, the man shouldn't be in possession of a weapon. The only thing more pathetic than that argument is Zimmerman himself.

#641 to #640 - wranglerjk (06/14/2012) [-]
#651 to #641 - CXJokerXD (06/14/2012) [-]He was a 17 year old boy, not and adult. And you honestly think a 28 year old man has the right to shoot this unarmed boy and claim it as self defense? A 28 year old can't protect himself against a 17 year old without a gun? That's pathetic. You're pathetic.
#657 to #651 - supersaiyandragons (06/15/2012) [-]
Age is irrelevant, and how would you have known what the kid could have done? Clearly you assume that just because they're an adult they can easily overpower any youth. I know 15 year olds that can kick the **** out off grown adults. It was also dark, Martin walked into the neighborhood; Martin attacked first which means he is at fault for assault and Zimmerman had full rights shoot him in self defense. Sorry for sounding harsh but that's how it is, and Martin isn't so innocent himself if you've ever seen pictures of him that weren't from 10 years ago.
#656 to #651 - wranglerjk (06/14/2012) [-]
He was not a boy. He was over 6 feet and was in great shape. When one man is bashing another man's head into the ground over and over causing the above picture. Yes. The ages don't matter. One was in tip top shape the other was an older man who has asthma. The younger one will win every time. My dad has weight on my but I'm sure I can bash his head off the ground. Your defense is terrible
#658 to #656 - CXJokerXD (06/15/2012) [-]
He was a boy. Show me some clean cuts on his head, the blood from the cut makes it look worse than it most likely was. One is 17 and the other is a 28 year old man, you make it sound like he has a cane or something. Btw I encourage you to try and fight and bash your dad's head into the ground, and see how that works out for you. Your defense is almost as bad as your logic.
#661 to #658 - wranglerjk (06/15/2012) [-]
Yea I can do it pretty easily. Tell me how little Zimmerman can run and catch up to a football star like Martin. He is 17. Old enough to have very toned muscles from working out with the football team. You liberals are something else. Pictures of his bloody head and broken nose plus doctors reports and that still means nothing. Keep it up. Plus I knew plenty of 17 year old when I was in high school on the football team that could easily beat the **** out of people twice their age. He wasn't a little prepubescent 12 year old.
#662 to #661 - CXJokerXD (06/15/2012) [-]
Not saying Martin is innocent, but the circumstances didn't call for him to be shot. Like I said, show me the clean cuts if you can find them, I would love to see them. A 28 year old who can't handle himself around a 17 year old without deadly force shouldn't be an officer of the law, period. You can keep trying and justify the taking of this boys life, you conservatives are known for your racism and closed mindedness.
#667 to #662 - wranglerjk (06/15/2012) [-]
So you would have rather just had Martin kill Zimmerman? Cuz he was going the right way about it. Age doesn't mean a damn thing. There are people younger than me that can beat my ass. Not that big of a deal. This has nothing to do with racism either. No matter what color he is I would say the same thing. Just cuz he's black I'm not going to rush to his side because of my white guilt.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

Snooki's Baby Delivery Could Be Featured on 'Snooki and JWoww'
Fans may get a chance to see Snooki giving birth to her son on "Snooki & JWoww". Radar Online has learned that a camera crew from 495 Productions, which produces the "Jersey Shore" spin-off, was in the MTV reality star's hospital room "in the hours leading up to her birth." A source says, "Viewers will see Snooki in labor."
The cameramen were "kicked out as she was about to give birth," but Snooki's fiance Jionni LaValle reportedly "was using a personal camcorder and he carried on filming." The source adds, "Jionni only filmed at Snooki's head though so viewers will most likely see very little footage of the actual birth... It was done very tastefully and with respect to Snooki and other patients at the New Jersey hospital."
Hours after the birth, Snooki's baby who's named Lorenzo Dominic LaValle was also filmed. The source gushes, "Lorenzo was ready for his proud parents to show him off to the world."
Snooki gave birth to her first child with Jionni on Sunday morning, August 26 at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston. MTV later released a statement to welcome to the baby boy, "We couldn't be happier for Nicole and Jionni on the healthy delivery of their baby boy! We look forward to Lorenzo's first trip to the Jersey Shore and can't wait to see his first animal print onesie."
The baby also got an outpouring of love from Snooki's "Jersey Shore" co-stars. JWoww tweeted, "So proud of @snooki and @JLaValle! Lorenzo is the cutest baby I ever seen. Love him already," while The Situation wrote, "Congrats to Nicole an Gianni (sic) in their new baby boy! All the best to the new family! @snooki."
"Snooki & JWoww" has been renewed for a second season by MTV and it's likely that Snooki's delivery process will be included in the upcoming installment.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2009-12-28/News and notes
Flagged revisions petitions, image donations, brief news
Editors eager for Flagged Revisions
A recent petition demanding the roll-out of the Flagged revisions extension on English Wikipedia has garnered 202 signatures (as of 30 December), citing concern over Wikipedia's biographies of living people. (Another petition, opposing Flagged revisions, has 14 signatures so far.)
Flagged revisions were expected to have been enabled much earlier, following several rounds of discussion and polling that culminated in broad support for the Flagged protection and patrolled revisions proposal in April 2009. However, that proposal required additional software development to implement all the required features. Wikimedia Foundation staff have also been concerned that flagged revisions would turn off some contributors, so additional effort is being put towards the workflow and interface. The current or near-current state of the extension as intended for English Wikipedia is currently active on the flagged protection development wiki.
In a thread earlier this month on the Wikitech-l mailing list, William Pietri suggested that planned meetings between Flagged revisions developers and the usability team would result in a clearer idea of what remains to be done, and the implementation on English Wikipedia will probably happen "soon-ish", with a more precise estimate to be announced soon on the Wikimedia Technical Blog.
Mary Rose trust
A donation of images from the Mary Rose Trust is scheduled for 3 January 2010.[citation needed] It is going to be accompanied by a DYK update of the Mary Rose and the Anthony Roll, and there has been a suggestion that it could be made into an extended Tudor England/naval theme for DYK at Wikipedia talk:Did you know#Scheduling a DYK date.
- The appointed members of the Wikimedia Boards of Trustees, Jan-Bart de Vreede, Stu West, Matt Halprin and Jimmy Wales, have all been reappointed to one-year terms, through 2010, with a unanimous vote.
- German Wikipedia has surpassed one million articles. Wikipedians created a virtual quilt to commemorate the achievement.
- The Jury for Wikimania 2011 has been chosen [1]
- New Page Patrollers now have more options: Special:NewPages now has the option to view unpatrolled new pages which are 1 hour, 1 day, 5 days, 10 days, and 15 days old. Previously, they could view new articles from the front or back end of the log.
- This bot has recently been approved to help tag any WikiProject. It does 2 tasks: First it scans a stub category that is relevant to the project (for example, for the Album project: Category:Album stubs) and makes sure that each article is added to the project and assessed as a stub; then it scans the unassessed articles (again an example for WPALBUM: Category:Unassessed Album articles) and automatically assesses the article based on the highest rating given to the article by another project (if there isn't a rating, it skips that article). If any project wants it to run on their articles, they can leave a note on User:Coffee's talk page.

In the battle of the petitions it is now 198 to 13 in favor. Hurray flagged revisions! Besides the well known BLP issues we now have some highly popular yet controversial articles like evolution and Charles Darwin that are kept essentially permantly protected against anonymous edits because they are swamped by vandalism, OR, and good faith but unconstructive edits every time they are unprotected. With flagged revisions it may be possible to turn off protection and maybe sift through the dross and pick up some valuable edits from anon editors. Also the very fact that flagged revision is in play on certain vandalism prone articles may reduce the incentive to vandalise in the first place. Rusty Cashman (talk) 04:40, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- 202 / 14 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 05:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think that flagged revs replace antivandal protection completely. In the high-vandalized pages the job of "sift through the dross" would be plain waste of time of expert wikipedians who will make more good by writing something good themeslves than figuring out some possible sense from some incoherent babble. IMO it is high time to get rid of this irrational fear to "deter" "possible" new contributors. The project is quite mature now. Several years ago Jimbo called for a quest for article quality. The subsequent removal various nonsense, original essays and random context such as "list of songs that mention death" did not hurt the project. Likewise, it is time to demand and expect quality, responsibility and maturity in contributors, rather than in contributions. - Altenmann >t 22:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I have some problems when I want to use implicit methods to convert a function to something else.
I'm implementing a small DSL in Scala 2.8 for testing purposes. It should support various checks (assertions if you like) on instances. The whole DSL is a bit complex, but the following simplified example shows my problem:
object PimpMyFunction {
class A(val b: Int)
def b(a: A) = a.b
class ZeroCheck(f: A => Int) {
def isZeroIn(a: A) = f(a) == 0
implicit def fToCheck(f: A => Int): ZeroCheck = new ZeroCheck(f)
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val a0 = new A(0)
val a1 = new A(1)
First two println lines (when I explicitly call the conversion method) compile and work fine, but the last one (when I want to rely on implicits) produces the error:
Compile error: missing arguments for method b in object PimpMyFunction; follow this method with '_' if you want to treat it as a partially applied function
If I want to implicitly convert "normal" instances (which are not functions) the same way it also works, so I guess the problem is not related to scoping/importing.
If I follow the instructions of the error message and use
println((b _).isZeroIn(a0)) it also works, but the DSL is targeted at non technical people, so I would like to keep the syntax as clean and simple as possible.
I think I have another workaround (b should be a class extending an Assertions trait which already contain the check methods + A => Int) that would support the cleaner syntax, but it would be more verbose and less flexible, so I would prefer the implicit way.
Any ideas how to avoid the
(b _) syntax and still use implicits?

Aims To assess the effect of a tailored multi-faceted improvement programme on general practitioners' (GPs') behaviour towards prevention of hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption. The improvement programme consisted of activities aimed at the GP, organization and patient. Educational training sessions and visits by a facilitator were tailored to the GPs' needs and attitudes.
Design Cluster randomized controlled trial.
Setting General practices in the Netherlands.
Participants Seventy-seven general practices; 119 GPs participated. Data from 6318 patients were available, of whom 765 (12.1%) were at risk. A total of 1502 patients' electronic medical records were reviewed.
Measurements The primary outcome was the number of eligible patients who received screening and advice.
Findings Difficulties in recruiting GPs and in motivating GPs for participation in the tailored parts of the programme impeded optimal implementation of the programme. Although GPs in both groups became more involved after enrolment, this improvement waned during the trial. The quality improvement programme enhanced the initial improvement in behaviour and it tempered waning (intervention group), compared to our control condition, resulting in average improvement rates of 5% (screening) and 2% (advice-giving) at 12-month follow-up (not significant).
Conclusions A tailored, multi-faceted programme aimed at improving general practitioner management of alcohol consumption in their patients failed to show an effect and proved difficult to implement. There remains little evidence to support the use of such an intensive implementation programme to improve the management of harmful and hazardous alcohol consumption in primary care.

On Day 2 of San Diego Comic-Con, I:
Attended a panel of writers and producers for one of my favorite television shows, "The Big Bang Theory," moderated by Melissa Rauch, who plays Bernadette. The writers are genuine fanboys — and one fangirl — and spoke about how some of their own experiences and obsessions become a part of the show. And they revealed a new guest star, who came out on stage to greet us: "30 Rock's" Jack McBrayer, who will play Penny's brother. Katey Sagal will be returning as her mother.
Spoke to the very handsome and charming Jason Matthew Smith, who performed in three "Star Trek" movies but ended up on screen in just one,
Spoke to the lovely and warm-hearted Caroline Williams, who starred in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" and got a part in "Sharknado 4" (airing July 31, 2016) via Facebook. Yes, she is Stretch again and has a chainsaw.
Attended a panel on diversity in animation with some of the greatest animators of all time, people who worked on everything from Disney classics to Hanna-Barbera, Bob Clampett, Charlie Brown specials and "The Simpsons,"
Heard a presentation about a new streaming service called Shudder, specializing in horror, with categories like demonic possession, child murderers, and zombies. In a very typical Comic-Con experience, it was held in one of the smaller rooms, without a line and some seats left over, and on the panel was the star of three of the biggest films of all time, Elijah Wood.
On the first full day of San Diego Comic-Con, I:
Ran into a "Sharknado 4" parade with Elvises on stilts,
Talked to CBS television series stars, including James Wolk of "Zoo," Tyler James Williams of "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders," Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jaydn Wong from "Scorpion," Wilmer Valderrama of "NCIS," and Megan Ketch of "American Gothic,"
Saw directors Oliver Stone and Luc Besson in their first-ever Comic-Con appearances, to talk about their upcoming films "Snowden" and "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,"
Heard a fascinating discussion about Mormon comic artists,
Visited an interactive experience inspired by the new television series, "Timeless," that involved being swirled around in a Gravitron and exiting into a hallway showing that past historical events had been altered and being so dizzy it seemed like they might be true, and
Attended one of my favorite annual events, the Mad about MAD — MAD Magazine panel. There were jokes about the current political candidates, of course. When asked if they weren't secretly hoping Trump would win because he provides such good material, they said that they were sure whoever got elected would give them plenty to make fun of. MAD has a free ebook on Donald Trump and some of its most popular artwork is now available on Zazzle. They have a forthcoming parody book called Goodnight Batcave. I was delighted to hear that "MADtv" is returning to television, Tuesday nights on the CW. In response to questions, John Ficarra said that yes, they've been sued (by Irving Berlin), and that the stories that produce the most hate mail are when they make fun of boy bands. And I love to hear the stories of the legendary trips the entire staff used to take together. On one cruise to Bermuda, they played a joke on MAD founder Wiliam Gaines by re-enacting the famous stateroom scene from "A Night at the Opera." By the time the room was filled with MAD writers and artists, crew members, and random strangers, he was roaring with laughter. And so, as they told the story, was the audience, still MAD about MAD.
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, who were marvelous together in "Crazy Stupid Love," reunite in a musical called "Lala Land."
Wednesday is always preview night at Comic-Con, a chance to explore the Exhibition Hall, where you can get glimpses of new television shows, movies, and games, and buy just about any household item or article of clothing with your favorite superhero or animated character on it. You can also get a sneak peek at full episodes of some upcoming television shows. I watched "Riverdale," with the Archie Comics characters in a story that is more like "Twin Peaks" or "Pretty Little Liars." "90210's" Luke Perry even appears as Archie's dad.
In this story, Veronica has just moved to town after her wealthy father has lost his money following a Madoff-like fraud scandal. Archie had a sexual encounter with a teacher. Betty's sister has had a mental breakdown. And Moose is bi-curious.
It is disconcerting at first to see the characters we know from silly jokes in the malt shop and school dances dealing with anguish and possibly even murder. And the actors do not look like teenagers. But it might work.
Then there's a comedy called "Powerless," with a very different take on superheroes. Vanessa Hudgens plays an insurance claims officer who is responsible for paying for damages caused by superheroes. And Conan O'Brien is one of the producers of "People of Earth," with Wyatt Cenac, Oscar Nunez, and Ana Gasteyer as "experiencers" who have had alien encounters. Both were pretty funny and I look forward to more.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — SilverScript Insurance Co., a CVS Caremark company, has entered into collaborations with seven accountable care organizations across the country.
The collaborations are designed to help improve pharmacy care for Medicare Part D beneficiaries who are served by the participating ACO and also enrolled in a SilverScript Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan, the company stated.
The collaborating ACOs include Monarch Healthcare ACO and National ACO in California; American Health Alliance, Orange Accountable Care, Orange Accountable Care of South Florida, and West Florida ACO in Florida; and VirtualCare ACO in New Jersey.
"We believe this partnership can help our ACO partners improve key quality measures for their Medicare patients.""Our expertise and access to patient prescription data can help these Accountable Care Organizations identify those Medicare Part D patients who could benefit from interventions designed to improve medication adherence, reduce gaps in care and help reduce overall pharmacy spend," stated Troyen A. Brennan, chief medical officer, CVS Caremark. "We believe this partnership can help our ACO partners improve key quality measures for their Medicare patients and improve health outcomes in line with our purpose of helping people on their path to better health."
Through the collaboration, clinicians at the participating ACOs will be able to track prescription activity and usage for the SilverScript beneficiaries they treat, including the use of generic versus brand prescriptions and the identification of any medication adherence issues or gaps in care. Based on this information, they will work to develop and implement appropriate interventions.
As a Medicare Part D PDP sponsor, SilverScript implements a medication therapy management program that includes medication reviews and other adherence and gaps in care programs that enhance the coordination of pharmacy care for beneficiaries. Through these programs, SilverScript beneficiaries are counseled individually about maintenance medications, patient concerns and any potential risks. These programs are designed to identify concerns around adherence to maintenance medications and possible risks, such as drug-to-drug interactions, duplicate therapies or high-risk medications.
These seven Accountable Care Organizations join an existing group of ACOs across the country that SilverScript has been working in collaboration with to improve pharmacy care for the Medicare Part D beneficiaries they serve. These ACOs include PriMed in Connecticut, Franciscan Alliance ACO in Indiana, Jordan Community ACO in Massachusetts, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health in New Hampshire, and Atlantic ACO in New Jersey.

Amazon.com Review
As the crowds for the Roundup start to overfill the camping area, Joe Lon feels on the inside like a barrel of snakes: "a writhing of the darkness, an incessant boiling of something thick and slow-moving." As he and his good ol' buddy get ready to wander around and check out the scene, Joe Lon says, "Just a bunch of crazy people cranking up to git crazier. But that's all right. Feel on the edge of doing something outstanding myself."
A Feast of Snakes is probably the most skillfully crafted and entertaining novel ever written in which a fed up person goes violently berserk. But Harry Crews belongs to the tradition of great Southern weird writers such as Flannery O'Connor, so A Feast of Snakes is richer than that: Crews serves up the reality of people's savage and unrelenting cruelty toward animals and toward each other, stark truths about human despair, male-female face-offs at their sexiest and most ruthless, and (here's his real genius) humor so powerful you can't help but laugh--even though it hurts when you do.
A Feast of Snakes, first published in 1976, is a dazzling and flawless horror novel. --Fiona Webster

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Steve Rude's Facebook page is a great place to see some top-notch art — recent commissions, sketches, covers, and assorted personal work. Earlier this week he announced an Indiegogo campaign to finalize funding for a full-color 2012 sketchbook. There's a dozen funding options, ranging from $1 to $10,000, but a hard copy of the finished item will cost you from as little as $25. As of writing, there's a long way to go before The Dude reaches his $5,000 goal. I'm sure many comics fans of a certain vintage raised on Nexus will appreciate the opportunity to help out one of the finest comic artists of his generation, and get some new work by the maestro in return.
What are the key differences between Kickstarter and Indiegogo? Because they look identical, but Kickstarter has much more of a reputation right now, I don't see why people would opt for Indiegogo…

Quaint old village
Walk through the streets of Mystic Seaport, peek in the windows and visit the ship building complex. There is so much to see! We watched a replica of the slave ship Amistad being built here.
Although Mystic is a replica of a seaport village, it was authentically constructed. I could easily imagine an old salt weaving his stories about the sea alongwith tales of pirates, as he sat outside one of the buildings.
Directions: Take I-95 to Exit 90 onto Rt. 27 to Mystic, at end of ramp turn onto Rt. 27S

Fun on wheels!
Any touch that adds to the historical experience of a site certainly appeals to me. I just had to take a picture!
We got a kick of this man pedaling through town on this old fashioned bicycle. He was quite good at it as he maneuvered through the streets, avoiding collisions with people and carriages.
Address: Mystic Seaport Museum

It was nice to be able to explore the old ships here at Mystic.
Mystic Village promotes the fact that it has a collection of almost 500 ships in different stages of restoration. There are examples of sailboats, oar, paddle boats and other types. Most of them have importance nationally or regionally, but the collection primarily highlights those crafts from the New England area.

Mystic Lighthouse
Having lived in New Jersey where there are a number of restored lighthouses guarding the shores, we seem to be drawn to these sentinels of earlier days.
The Mystic lighthouse is a replica of the Brant Point Lighthouse on Nantucket Island which was built in 1746. It was donated to Mystic Seaport Museum by Mr. and Mrs. John P. Blair.
It would seem lax not to have included a lighthouse at Mystic Seaport--I'm glad they did!
Directions: I-95 to exit 90, onto Rt. 27 to Mystic--and the end of the ramp turn onto Rt. 27S.
Riding in Style!
Most historic areas seem to have carriage rides--somehow it adds to the experience of traveling back in time!
We all thought the horse and buggy ride was fun. While we were enjoying Mystic's oldtime charm, the guide was telling us about the buildings that were preserved and maritime history! Children will especially enjoy it!
As you pass through the quaint streets and alongside the waterfront, enjoy the leisurely ride and try to imagine what a seaport town must have sounded like.

Antique calling card from my collection
It's hard to pass a pastry shop, especially when it's a recommended stop! You'll do well to pause here for a snack.
While you're visiting Mystic Seaport Museum be sure to stop at the bakery and buy something yummy! They have sweet confections that will hold you off until lunch...or maybe even dinner. They are GOOD.

A scenic trip!
We chugged up the Mystic River on the steamboat Sabino. It was a leisurely boat ride!
The Sabino was built in Maine in 1908 and was used for passenger service on the Damariscatta River. We took a 1/2 hour cruise costing $5.50 for adults and $4.50 for children ages 6-17. The boat departs from the dock near the main entrance at the half hour. There is also a 90 minute cruise available.
