I don't know. I never noticed much difference in flavor, but a marked
difference in intensity--with the native somewhat bland when compared
with the Greek. [All this reminds me that I need to dry some more
leaves--seems every time I dry some, Ms Fatma finds another relative to
send them to.]

Islay (pronounced 'eye-luh') whiskies are among Scotland's most powerful, thunderous drams. Often with plenty of peat and smoke, brine and medicinal flavours, of all the whisky regions of Scotland Islay has attained a truly iconic status. When compared to the various drink producing regions of the world, be it the Grande Champagne designation of Cognac or the first growths of Bordeaux, or that distant island, Madeira, there is something magical about the illustrious Scottish Isle, some 35 miles from the coast of Northern Island.
There are some nine distilleries on the Isle. To the North there lies Bunnahabhain and Caol Ila, to the west of Loch Indaal sits Bruichladdich and further west, the newly founded Kilchoman - Scotland's most westerly distillery. To the centre of the isle sits the mighty Bowmore, but it is from the southern coast, not far from Port Ellen and the closed distillery of the same name, that the most pungent whisky emanates, produced by the trio of leviathan Ileach distilleries; Ardbeg, Lagavulin and of course Laphroaig. There is a defined power to the whisky, peat being the obvious attribute, certainly the best associated. Smoke is both a flavour of its own, but is intrinsically linked with peat. The peat flavour is imparted during the barley malted process, the smoke used to dry out the barley is produced by burning peat.
There is a marked reduction in peaty power to the far north; the malts of Bruichladdich and Bunnahabhain are comparatively soft. In Bruichladdich's case it is due to the relative shelter from the elements that the Rhinns proffers. For Bunnahabhain it is the unpeated malt and the water source, the Margadale springs, cutting their course in stoic avoidance of the peat beds of Islay. Islay single malts also have a refined salinity; there is a profusion of seaweedy, kelp-rich whiskies.
This is often attributed to the terroir. The Islay distilleries possess a relative close proximity with the sea, all of which save for Kilchoman, the only inlander. The sea spray is said to whip across the warehouses, the salty air penetrates the barrels and flavours the maturing whisky. Of late, whiskies from Islay have become increasingly sought after.

But then there are the surprise few with such extravagant extras that you forget about the price. Oyster.com05.18.14 10:45 AM EToyster.comTanning Butler: The Ritz-Carlton South Beach, MiamiThe Ritz-Carlton chain is known for luxury, but its South Beach outpost has upped the ante with a tanning butler.The hotel's signature tanning butler patrols the pool deck to help guests apply sunscreen (even those hard-to-reach areas) and offer a buffet of tanning products, sunglasses, and other sun necessities. oyster.comPet Psychic: Hotel deLuxe, PortlandPortland's Hotel deLuxe is not just pet friendly: it's a legitimate pet paradise. The hotel offers welcome amenities for your furry friends — like plush bedding, food and water bowls, toys, and treats — as well as access to special services such as pet massages, dog walkers, pet acupuncture, doggie room service, and — Fido's favorite — pet psychics and pet psychologists. oyster.comGondola Couples Massage: Loews Coronado Bay Resort, San DiegoIf you like your romance with a side of indulgence (and a hint of voyeurism), San Diego's Loews Coronado Bay Resort may be just what you're looking for. The hotel's fleet of gondolas is not only available for afternoon rides, but also one-of-a-kind couples massages. As the gondolier drifts you through the private marina, your personal masseuse will round out the relaxing experience by kneading your cares away. oyster.comMonogrammed Bathrobes: Hotel Ritz MadridSometimes the most simple things can seem the most luxurious — especially after a grueling transatlantic flight. At Madrid's Hotel Ritz, staff places personalized, monogrammed robes in the room before your arrival. Wrapped in red ribbon with single rosebuds, these are no ordinary bathrobes; they're probably the most luxe and plush you've ever cozied up in. oyster.comRoom Service for Pets: The Lowell, New York CityFor luxury travelers who adore their four-legged friends, The Lowell offers the ultimate in pet pampering — yes, we have to admit, it even beats out previously-mentioned Hotel deLuxe. The hotel's special pet room service menu features gourmet made-to-order meals, including lamb ragout, organic buffalo marrowbone, and filet mignon tartar, with side orders of potatoes, rice, and sardines. Can we get a fork, as well? For dessert: Doggie ice cream, fish skin chews imported from Iceland, and classic treats like Milkbones are available. You can also order specialty pet shampoos, paw butter, aromatherapy sprays, and more. oyster.comFamous Artists in Residence: Andaz Fifth Avenue, New York City For art lovers and bibliophiles, there are few destinations better than New York City. And within the city, there are few hotel options better than the Andaz Fifth Avenue. Here, locally-inspired decor, such as graffiti art, and a rotating artists-in-residence program, which showcases — and allows guests to rub elbows with — some of the city's best and most famous talent, make it an excellent artsy pick. The Andaz has also partnered with the New York City Public Library (located just across the street) to create a fantastic on-site lending library with 700+ hand-selected books that include the hotel's favorites from the famed library. oyster.comFragrance Butler: Rosewood Hotel Georgia, VancouverVancouver's Rosewood Hotel Georgia sets the stage for a luxurious vacation with plush furnishings, gorgeously-maintained historic touches, and sweet-smelling…guests? Indeed, the hotel boasts a dedicated fragrance butler who can assist guests with selecting, sampling, and purchasing a signature scent. Upscale colognes like Bulgari Pour Homme and Hermes Terre d'Hermes, as well as perfumes like the classic Chanel No. 5 and the avant-garde Bulgari Black, are available, as are many other luxe and exclusive options. oyster.comTea Sommelier: The Lanesborough, LondonThe English take tea seriously, but London's posh Lanesborough Hotel has elevated the humble tea leaf to gourmand status. The property's talented tea sommelier works the floor at every afternoon tea service, enlightening guests to the subtleties, preparations, and benefits of each of the available selections. oyster.comSoap Concierge: Viceroy Riviera MayaMexico's turquoise coastline goes "scentsational" at the Viceroy Riveria Maya, where luxe, over-the-top amenities include everything from a chic spa to a — you guessed it — soap concierge. (Actually, you probably didn't guess it. But if you did, then kudos to you.) The service is unique to the property, and invites guests to explore a range of Mayan soaps that promise to cleanse, invigorate, moisturize, and exfoliate. Scents are both classic and exotic, from peach to lemon, from chocolate to cinnamon. Request a new soap for your room every day, or stick to your favorite throughout your stay (hello, chocolate?!). All soaps are available to take home as souvenirs.

Kernel Development: Linux-next Complete
The new "linux-next" Git tree, which aims to simplify and accelerate kernel development is more or less complete.
The new maintainer, Stephen Rothwell, announced on the Linux Kernel mailing list (lkml) that he has created the new "linux-next" tree. The source code branch is available for immediate use at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git;a=summary. Developers will also find an overview of the individual sub-trees that have been added. There are 39 branches at present. Rothwell emphasizes that more trees are welcome, even if they are empty.
Rothwell's local builds are available here. The Linux-next maintainer also writes that he was happy to receive notes from other maintainers on cross compilers and working configs. This would make it possible to add further kernel builds.
The recently announced Linux-next tree aims to provide an interim step between Torvald's and Morton's code bases and add more efficiency to work by both maintainers. The tree will also give subsystem maintainers tools to improve coordination of their work.

Yes. It is a problem. My users (as opposed to Forrest users) would not want to have to deal with such failures, that's why I built the auto-install facility in the first place. > We can automate its download if i read that above doc > correctly as long as we make them aware and show the > license. Yes, this is something we have discussed in the past. It is something that I intended to implement (and to an extent still do). However, there is a problem. Each time the plugin is upgraded (or at least a lib it depends on) the instalaltion would have to be repeated. This is not a problem is the user has write access to the Forrest install directory, but we have seen from our user lists that this is not always the case. So the auto-install/upgrade features would not work. >>My question to the community is how to manage this SF project. >> >>I can make it a completely distinct project from Forrest, with its own >>mailing lists and committer list.

Docs are not a problem: "YOU MAY reference a prohibited work (e.g. with text or hyperlinks) from an apache.org web page" The mailing list issue is more of a problem. Having discussion here will give the impression that the ASF is supporting the plugin which we cannot do. >>What does the PMC think? > > > I would prefer that we don't do this if there is a way > around it. So would I. I'm open to suggestions but I am not in a position to do this work in such a way that will force my users to work with a broken auto-install feature. Would this work?... The code is here in our SVN and is managed by Forrest as normal. But the distribution point for the project is the SF project. The relevant points in the legal faw are: "YOU MAY include code within the Apache product necessary to achieve compatibility with a prohibited work through the use of API calls, "bridge code", or protocols, provided that the compatibility code was contributed under a CLA. However, any such code used for compatibility with a third-party work that is licensed under terms that violate criterion #2 ("must not place restrictions on the distribution of independent works that simply use or contain the covered work."), such as the GPL, requires review and explicit approval of both the PMC chair and the Legal Affairs officer. This review will ensure that the Apache product takes only the necessary steps to achieve compatibility." This one is no problem in my opinion, the code in questions is LGPL. "YOU MUST NOT modify, assemble, or release a prohibited work as an action of an ASF PMC." This means that we cannot build and release the *complete* plugin as a PMC. Since I am the one who needs this code to work as an auto-install, I will undertake to build and release the plugin as an individual over on the SF project. Discussion and votes for release will take place on the SF projects mail lists. The Forrest PMC will only be resonsible for the bridge code (as described above). This would, in my opinion, come under: "YOU MAY independently develop, assemble, or release software under an excluded license as an individual who happens to be an ASF committer/PMC member, but only when such action is not identified as being associated with or sponsored by the ASF." In summary we would develop the bridge code here in Forrest, but *I*, as an individual, will assemble and release the plugin in the SF project. The end result of this would be that any developer can build the latest plugin from our SVN sources by manually downloading the LGPL dependencies. Later we may automate this retrieval of LGPL binaries. Users will be able to obtain the plugin by using a "a documented, non-default, build option to allow users to explicitly insert a prohibited work into a single binary package with the Apache product code." In my view the only thing we need to do for this is add a "licence" element to the plugins.xml file and make this very clear on the plugin index. Ross Ross

Blizzard is not Apple... they did not invent the genre, they merely cloned it. Being first to the market can sometimes yield supremacy over the market... as in Apple's case... but keep in mind, that even though millions of people will never part with their iPhone or iPad... they will also never entertain the idea of using a Mac as their home computer. See the disconnect there? How can a company that makes, in their eyes, the best phone of tablet on the market, not be capable of making a computer of equal quality? Simply put... Microsoft beat them to the market, nothing more, nothing less. For the same reasons that consumers will not part with their PCs, they will not part with their iPhones and iPads. WoW made this genre what it is today... there is absolutely no denying that. For good or bad, the landscape was forever changed. The majority of the player base in WoW was made up mostly of non-gamers at the time... mothers and fathers, housewives and retirees, and yes even little kids who had no idea what MMORPGs were let alone video games. Those massive subscription numbers weren't made up of die hard gamers looking for something new to play... they were made up of people who, until just a few days earlier, never even fired up their computers to play video games at all. That was the revolution that took place... call it luck, call it kharma, in the end... NO ONE EXPECTED their Mom and Dad to do anything on the computer short of email and surfing the web.
1. Apple did not invent the smartphone - They just made it prettier and easier to use for the public... just like Blizzard did with WoW. Blizzard did not "clone" anything. They already had a very established product and turned it into an MMO - Many folks like to say that they cloned EQ - this is just not so. Warcraft was a mixture of many concepts yes, but most can agree it's not EQ with a different skin. I was playing Eq when WoW came out and they are very different in play style IMO.
2. What you seem to be saying in your second paragraph is that the popularity of the iPhone/iPad has not carried over to Mac computers... which has little to do with anything other then "Microsoft beat them to the market, nothing more, nothing less" - So... let me ask you this...
Palm, Windows Mobile and Blackberry ALL beat iOS and Android to the market... .Yet, Palm is basically gone.. blackberry is on life support and Windows Phone is just now starting to gain some steam (still very small percentage of the market) while Android and iOS own the market. By your logic... the former should be on top as they were first to the market? Correct? Yeah... no.
Back to the topic, if WoW never existed, I believe that someone would have taken the very same path. Like I said, things were headed there anyway.
A lot more MMOs would have survived and fewer MMOs would be created. I'm not sure if my assumption is right but without a low investment but crazy high ROI such as WoW then investors wouldn't be so quick to pull out if they aren't making close to the same. MMOs would still slowly try to cater more for the mainstream but it wouldn't be as abrupt or detrimental (in SWG's case). The mainsteam need to make MMOs more accessible, rewarding, and fun was going to happen.
I also think the over abundance of F2P would have been delayed had there been more players spread between the games, hence more financial stability.

I didn't play WoW much, but I did play a lot of DAOC before WoW came out. I'm not sure WoW had anything that DAOC didn't. I tend to think of "WoW clones" as "DAOC clones". Perhaps the biggest difference could be that WoW "dumbed down" the game to the point that kids could play it. Instead of a somewhat cerebral game of stats, tactics, and planning, WoW seems more like an arcade experience. Modern MMO"S certainly seem to have gone that route: towards a more shallow, simplistic, action oriented game.
Nothing wrong with making great games more accessible. Look at Ferrari nowadays. They put so much computing behind their cars driving experience that they are nothing like they were before when if you drove one hard without skill you ended up on the side of the road. Many complain about this loss of the visceral feel, but Ferrari ain't complaining about continued and expanded success to more customers during a global recession. Technology and accessibility is good.

I only deal in absolutes, never what if's. WoW does exist so we can't imagine what it would be like without it or how it changed/ didn't change the market. /shrug
That must make it difficult to plan your future.
It's fairly apparent that WoW made a big splash that changed the way people looked at MMOs.
It was not in a manner I consider good. Too many games try to take the moniker without the merit, and as others have noted the genre has shifted as a whole in order to become more accessible and popular.
We might have fewer titles in the MMO market, but it seems like we would have retained more experimentation that got stuck on the back-burner by many publishers due to chasing numbers.
Some dev groups/publishers like SOE would likely still be going along and releasing much the same stuff they already have. Perhaps a more concerted effort as the 'big fish' would have come from them with their titles too.
As it stands it's also as others have said, simply speculation. Depending on your view of popular games at present and the trends, it's good or bad things in a mixed bag.

Before WOW we had
Ultima Online
Acheron Call
Dark Age of Camelot
EVE Online
Star Wars Galaxies
Those games I have listed were not clones of one another they all had their own niche and gameplay.
Then came WOW, what happend to games that came after WOW?, I think you guys can answer that one for yourself.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
Community would be smaller and be the little pale skinned basement dweller crowd from the 90's that MMORPGs used to attract. But now we became older and became people's bosses and got employed.
Could be worse. Could have became a brain surgeron or lawyer but atleast I can still be lazy but that would have happened anyway without WoW's help. Heh.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
I'm in the camp that feels the industry was already drifting in the themepark direction and that WoW just refined ideas that were already in the air and presented them to a large new audience.
But what would have happened if Blizzard had taken a different direction for what sort of game to put in front of its large established fanbase? What if, at it's foundation, WoW had been designed as a simulation of a slow-moving game of warcraft so that the game was more eve-like instead of everquest-like?

Developers wouldn't expect multiple millions of people to play any given MMO, so when they got a population of 300k or so, they'd be happy.
Yeah that's probably true. And with MMORPGs expected to only have 10% of modern MMORPG expectations, the budget for MMORPGs would also be about 10% of modern MMORPGs, and fewer MMORPGs would have been made.

Probably the biggest effect. Herd would not require 1M players to pass a "success/fail" binary check, either.
Assuming the next game in the queue would directly benefit ...GW1? Ooh, THAT would tick some people off. No, wait, Vanguard?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

Both true. Wow's endless marketing strategy brought millions to the genre. Without it, the genre would still be small and 500k "Western" subs would be considered God Like.
Luckily, i don't need you to like me to enjoy video games. -nariusseldon.
In F2P I think it's more a case of the game's trying to play the player's. -laserit
I wish this had happened with all my heart, Many people believe that WoW was the salvation of the MMO genre, that it was the game that really made the genre what it is. That's true to an extent but it also killed what the genre was, which imo was much, much better. Without WoW we would have had MUCH more diverse games to play out there, not an unbelievable amount of WoW clones which devs to this day still haven't realized we don't want. Without WoW we would have a ton of DAoC clones, Quite a few UO clones, some Conquer Online clones, some runescape clones, and some combinations of each. Instead of looking at an MMO list in which 95% of the games could easily be considered WoW with a different skin I think it would have been much more assorted in choices. I miss the way MMOs used to be and imo WoW destroyed their style.
If WoW was released today even in its' entirety it would be f2p in 3 months.
Why is it still such a big deal?
Originally posted by MMOExposed
if WoW didnt exist, the genre would still be the same since it was heading the WoW way anyway if you take note of the trending. AC = Sandbox AC2 = Sandpark AC3 aka LoTRO = Themepark the trend was heading that way. EQ1----> EQ2 see the trending. this is before WoW.
AC to AC2 I can see, because Turbine's goal was to make AC2 more accessible to players, etc. However, it still maintained (and still does with the re-launch) many old-school elements that weren't "phased out" of MMO designs 'til after WoW came out of Left field, blew the genre's doors open and radically changed the way it would proceed.
Incidentally, AC2 actually introduced a few things we consider "standard" now, which are often wrongly accredited to WoW.
LoTRO came after WoW, and was modeled a lot after it, with some notable inspiration taken from AC2, so I don't really think you can use that as a pure example of the progression.
EQ2 was a much different game when it came out, and for the first month or so, until WoW launched and proceeded to wipe the floor with it. It was much more old-school than WoW was, and really not as much a step toward pure theme-park as, again, WoW was. It had the corpse run death penalty, similar to EQ1, much deeper roots in RP elements, a more involved character development system, etc. Much of that was simplified a lot after WoW launched and Smed decided he wanted in on that Blizzard pie. I actually preferred the old EQ2. If they could have had a better engine, and with a few minor tweaks, I think it was a much more interesting game than it became later when SOE started chasing WoW's coat-tails with it.
I don't think it's quite so easy to connect those dots and say which way the genre would have gone or to what degree if WoW never entered the picture, or if it never took off the way it did. As much as EQ2 "evolved" over EQ1, and AC2 "evolved" over AC1, neither brought changes even remotely so drastic as WoW did to the way MMOs were designed. EQ1 was still the reigning king back then, even over EQ2. If not for WoW, the genre could have well remained more like AC2/EQ2 for a while.

Brrrr ... can not even immagine how it would be. :-))
If WoW had never existed moronic companies wouldn't have hired Guild Leaders as management. People wouldn't have been spending their work hours tweaking builds and watching boss strats on youtube, staying up until 4 am raiding and then going to their jobs unrested, unshowered, and ill-prepared.
Had wow never existed the market would not have collapsed and the world would be a better place.
This question reminds me of the other popular what if "What if Hitler had never been born/died early".
The easy knee jerk answer is everything would be different!!!!
More thorough examination shows Hitler was a product of his time and the socio-economic situation in Germany at the time.Hitler didn't start the Nazi party or it's ideals he rose up through it via charisma but was not the only charismatic person in the party.
Germany was hurting under the punishing economic reprisals of the Treaty of Versailles,the rise of Fascism was in response to skirmishes against communist Soviet forces on it's border,antisemitic feeling was rife in Germany at the time.These amongst other factors would all of been true whether Hitler existed or not.
So whilst Hitler not existing of the time may of changed things drastically...it seems more likely that someone else would of just filled his place with only minor differences.
So too was WoW a product of it's time so Whilst in it's absence things may of been very different it also seems likely something else would of taken it's place and there would be only minor differences in the long run.
This is no way saying WoW is Hitler before anyone jumps on that just that it is a similar what ifs on different categories.

Samford's Cole Limbaugh set a course record to take the lead in the second round of the River Run Disc Golf Open Championship in Childersburg. Limbaugh shot a course record 20 under par to sit atop the leader board. Limbaugh recorded eagles on all par five holes.
Jacob Ozment is in second place after shooting 16 under par. Dosson Stubblefield moved up the leader board three spots after shooting an 11 under Tuesday. For the tournament, he is at 16 under par. Reeves Brashear came on strong Tuesday as he moved up three sports to fourth place. The rising freshman at Southern Union shot a 14-under.
Colby Brashear is in fifth place, Josh Humber is in sixth place and Michael Duff is in seventh place.
Ozment led the opening round of the championship on Monday. This is the inaugural River Run Disc Golf tournament, which was created by Limbaugh, Stubblefield and Ozment. The players are asking for donations to go toward ovarian cancer awareness and eating disorder awareness.
Ozment shot a 51, which was good for 15 under par. Limbaugh is in second place with a 52 and he is at 14 under par. Colby Brashear is in third place with a 59, and he's at 7 under par. Samford's Limbaugh was pleased with his performance.
"It was a good day," Limbaugh said after the first day of the tournament. "I was hoping to get to 15 under, because I knew Jacob was going to shoot around there. We play together a lot, so I was going for 15, but I threw a couple of Frisbees short today to keep at 14-under. This is something that we have done since high school. About two weeks ago we decided to have tournament and hang out with guys you don't get to see a lot."
According to the Professional Disc Golf Association, disc golf is a game in which a disc is thrown from a tee area to a target which is the hole. The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a pole hole, an elevated metal basket. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive throw from the spot where the previous throw landed. The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the "putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway.
The tournament continues today at 5:45 p.m. in the River Run neighborhood of Childersburg.

An After-the-Fact Transitional Figure Shows the Way With His Horn
Trombonist Grachan Moncur III recorded two albums of his own compositions for Blue Note in the 1960s and appeared as a sideman on two by Jackie McLean, which also featured his writing. Three albums on other labels in the early '70s were followed by . . . virtually nothing: a handful of sideman recordings but no new tunes. Moncur was an after-the-fact transitional figure: a composer who integrated elements of free jazz into a traditional format.
This transition still hasn't been successfully completed, which is why these new recordings of such vintage Moncur as "Love and Hate" and "Frankenstein" remain so provocative. Moncur's trademarks as a writer were free harmonic movement and a low center of gravity, and arranger Mark Masters's understanding of this is reflected in the instrumentation, which includes French horn, baritone saxophone, and two trombones, but no piano. If "Monk in Wonderland" begins a little glossy, it ceases to matter once altoist Gary Bartz catches fire. Billy Harper, Gary Smulyan, and Tim Hagans are also blistering, and Moncur's unhurried spots are surprisingly deft for a man whose absence from the scene was blamed on embouchure problems. Fittingly, the program ends with "Sonny's Back," written by Moncur to celebrate Rollins's return from the bridge in 1962. Although Moncur's own comeback doesn't figure to generate as much publicity, it's good news indeed.

text: His Name Is Bruce, Not Saw IXGraeme McMillan11/29/08 9:00amFiled to: My name is brucebruce campbellNot sawMovies18EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink After years of playing zombie-killers, retired hitmen and even the King himself, Bruce Campbell's latest movie offered him the chance to play something a little bit closer to home: himself. But, as you might expect, that doesn't mean that My Name Is Bruce will be a quiet look at the previously unseen sensitive side of everyone's favorite Evil Dead star, because even Movie Bruce has to get his hands dirty fighting monsters. Advertisement Campbell explained the premise behind the movie to Ain't It Cool:It's for the fans. It's a cautionary tale of why you should never hire an actor to do anything other than act. Ultimately it's serving as a comedy premise, that's all. It's not to be my definitive statement on my life or career or fans. It's a one off gag movie that hopefully people will be somewhat tormented and confused and hopefully entertained... Look, acting is a heightened version of something. There's no such thing as a realistic actor since it's all make believe. So for the purpose of the movie, it's all about a broken down, loser, schmuck actor who has greatness thrust upon him, and he mostly fails. The fact that he's Bruce Campbell is an extra weirdo bonus that will either help or hurt.Admittedly, Campbell's official site gives a better idea of the movie's actual plot: Advertisement My Name is Bruce is the heroic struggle of a small mining town (Gold Lick, Oregon) to rid itself of a vengeful monster. Guan-di (Jamie Peck), the Chinese god of war and protector of the dead, has been unleashed by cemetery desecrating teenagers to protect the graves of Chinese miners lost in a deadly cave-in of yesteryear.The deadly demon's mission is to eradicate all those who transgressed against the tomb (relatives included), which is virtually the entire population of Gold Lick. The inbred community has to find a solution so Jeff (Taylor Sharpe), the sole survivor of a deadly Guan-Di encounter, takes it upon himself to kidnap his idol, Bruce Campbell (Bruce Campbell), star of countless B-movie horror films, and recruit him to be their local savior.Mortified at first, Bruce eventually goes along with Jeff's prank, convinced that it's all an elaborate birthday present from his agent (Ted Raimi), and begins to enjoy the spoils of being a movie hero, including free liquor and Jeff's attractive mother, Kelly (Grace Thorsen).But Jeff's scheme goes horribly wrong when his hero, known more for fighting directors than mythical warriors, haphazardly leads the town in battle against Guan-Di. Confronted by a monster that's not a guy in a rubber suit, and with the blood of innocents on his hands, Bruce abandons the harsh reality of Gold Lick for the sanctity of his former, artificial life.In his ramshackle desert trailer, Bruce resumes the daily grind of genre sequels, poor housekeeping and cheap whiskey, but a gut-wrenching call from his biggest fan, Jeff - now forced to take on Guan-Di alone - prompts the actor to re-evaluate his destiny.Against his better judgment (and the angry citizens of Gold Lick), Bruce returns to defeat Guan-Di, save Jeff, and snag his hot mother. In the climactic, mano-a-monster, Bruce tries to rise above the miserable, off-screen schmuck that he is and become a hero…in real life.Be afraid, Gold Lick – be very afraid.If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, then Bruce has one last pitch that may sway you:This is Bob Hope with decapitations; this is not SAW IX. So if folks are looking for the hardcore stuff, it ain't here. I mean, you're going to get the body count, you'll get that, but there's no torture porn in this. Torture porn, the great new phrase that's been invented.The anti-Saw? Come on, surely that's reason enough to make this movie a smash-hit success.

"This was the week we lost the next election," said a senior Tory gloatingly to me last Thursday. Admittedly, he is a senior Tory who has never much liked David Cameron, which explains (a) why he was gloating and (b) why he was probably exaggerating. But it's fair to say that politics is in greater flux than it has been since the last election. And the party leader who has most to lose is Cameron.
Sir Paul Stephenson's resignation doesn't affect him as much as Rebekah Brooks' arrest. "I'm not going to pretend it's not bad," said a close Cameron ally to me yesterday. "It's the tarnishing moment. Not as bad as Westland but worse than Ecclestone." During the Westland crisis, Margaret Thatcher was hours away from resigning. When Tony Blair was caught accepting a £1m donation from Formula One's Bernie Ecclestone and then arguing for Formula One to be exempt from the tobacco advertising ban, there was no question of resignation, but it wrecked his early reputation for being straight with voters.
Cameron has looked defensive and rattled over the past 10 days. At each stage, Ed Miliband has made the running and the Prime Minister has been forced to trot along behind to catch up. That's an extraordinary position for a Leader of the Opposition to be in. Normally, opposition leaders can't shape events, but can only respond to them. Yet Miliband has managed to achieve a judicial inquiry, Rebekah Brooks' resignation, and the dropping of News Corp's bid. All in just over a week.
Cameron was already in trouble over the hiring of Andy Coulson as his communications director. Says a former member of his Shadow Cabinet, "I'm baffled as to why David Cameron appointed him in the first place. And I'm baffled as to why he took him into government. It was a massive error of judgment."
Cameron knew the risks but still judged them to be worth taking. Soon after the appointment, the Conservative leader explained himself at an internal party meeting, saying, "Andy Coulson's the man who invented the line 'hug a hoodie'. If he can do that much damage to me, think how much damage he can do to the Labour Party!"
Now think how much damage Coulson might yet do to the Prime Minister if he ends up being convicted of perjury or corrupting the police. Did Cameron ever get to hear the warnings about Coulson passed on by Alan Rusbridger, the editor of The Guardian, and others? It's possible that he didn't. They were given to Steve Hilton, Cameron's director of strategy, who was involved in such a bitter feud with Coulson that the two men hadn't spoken for months and Hilton was refusing to go to meetings at which Coulson was present. So you can imagine what sort of reception Hilton would have got from Cameron's chief of staff, Ed Llewellyn, when he looked as if he were trying to dish the dirt on an old enemy. Llewellyn was more likely to dismiss the claims as bile than write a serious note to his boss about them.
All the same, there was enough in the public domain about Coulson's time as editor of The News of the World for Cameron to have had second thoughts about giving him a second chance. Now the Prime Minister is going to be dogged by that relationship for years to come. Between now and the next election, there will be prosecutions of police officers, who will blab about their relationships with journalists. Then it will be the journalists' turn in the dock, possibly for crimes more serious even than phone hacking. After that, there will be an open public inquiry with reporters, editors, policemen and politicians giving evidence under oath – much of which will be as embarrassing to Cameron as the Chilcot Inquiry was to Blair. Accompanying all of this will be endless photos of Cameron with Coulson, various Murdochs and Rebekah Brooks.
Now that she has been arrested, the Prime Minister's cosy relationship with the former News International chief executive has become all the more embarrassing. That he should have brought her into his weekend social life as well as his professional life – even when his Government was making huge commercial decisions about her company – looks very bad. And some voters, who already suspect he is too privileged, too elitist, too concerned with his rich and powerful friends, will only have their prejudices confirmed.
News Corp's tentacles spread more broadly through the Conservative Party. Take John Whittingdale, chairman of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee, who is due to interrogate the Murdochs tomorrow. As politicians go, he is likeable and engaging, but he is hardly impartial on this subject. Back in 1996, he voted against his own government by supporting an amendment that would have allowed a publisher with more than 20 per cent of the national newspaper market to buy an ITV company. He must have thought News International's interests were more important than his job as a PPS, from which he was forced to resign for this rebellion. More recently, when his select committee was conducting an inquiry into the BBC, guess who Whittingdale appointed as the committee's specialist advisor? None other than Ray Gallagher, former director of public affairs and senior advisor at BSkyB, and a sworn enemy of the BBC.
The only party that comes out unequivocally well from this scandal is the Liberal Democrats. They opposed the power of News International when it was a brave thing to do. Labour has been only a recent convert. On the last day of coalition negotiations after the general election, a desperate Gordon Brown offered Nick Clegg a Royal Commission on the future of the media. But it was too late.
Still, Miliband's personal ratings have leapt up since he took on Murdoch. His Shadow Cabinet, which had been rather ignoring him, is full of admiration. He now has a chance to capitalise on his new-found authority. Today, he is giving another speech on responsibility, in which he will link bankers, politicians and journalists as powerful vested interests that have acted irresponsibly. He could take that further by challenging another powerful vested interest: the trade unions. At this year's party conference, he'd do well to propose a rewriting of party rules so that unions have less say over the election of the leader and the policy of the party. He needs to show that he is not in their pocket.
Conservatives are secretly quite pleased that Miliband's position has been cemented, as they think he will be easy to beat at a general election. They may still be right. But this scandal – which will run for years – is much better news for Labour and the Lib Dems than it is for the Tories. One veteran Labour politician has been saying, with as much hyperbole as the Conservative at the beginning of this column: "There were three things I never thought I'd live to see: the fall of the Soviet empire, the end of white rule in South Africa and the collapse of Rupert Murdoch's power."
If he were a TV darts commentator, he'd be shouting: "ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!"

Noted Bay-Area Artist and Muralist Sirron Norris to begin the Calumet Mural Project
Noted Bay-Area Artist and Muralist Sirron Norris to begin the Calumet Mural Project at Bryant and 18th Streets July 16th
they will be home to the latest Sirron Norris mural project. The Calumet Mural Project is a multifaceted work designed to enhance the appearance of the store's exterior walls, at the corner of Bryant Street and 18th Street, diminish graffiti tagging and increase the company's engagement with the immediate community, the city of San Francisco and the artistic community in particular.
Mural art has a rich tradition in California of beautifying inner-city environments while at the same time educating locals and visitors as to the nature and triumphs of the specific community in which the art exists. Sirron Norris is a well-established and award-winning San Francisco artist who has produced 15 murals throughout the city during the past 10 years, and he brings his signature "cartoon literalism" style to the Calumet Mural Project. "On a personal note, this project will be one for the books, and will push my talent and experience to its fullest," said Norris.
Norris' mural takes a playful and colorful approach to the photo industry by incorporating cameras and other photographic tools, while also referencing such local landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the Transamerica Pyramid. It features several of his iconic characters, including Blue Bear and The Block, and makes strategic use of the building's existing windows and doors.
"We are extremely proud to have an artist of Sirron Norris' stature bring his talents and vision to our building and our immediate community," said Calumet store manager John Brady. "We believe our customers will appreciate the photo references and the humor that Norris has incorporated into his design. It will also be a tremendous addition to the city's mural tradition, which brings art into the daily lives of residents and visitors alike."
The mural is being funded by Calumet and will be a collaboration with Precita Eyes (www.precitaeyes.org)
A Calumet interview with Norris will be posted on youtube.com/
where the progress of this month-long project will be documented.
