A few days back I was assigned a challenging task of writing a Win32 application performing tasks (as defined by our client). But the client required that the final exe file size to be less than 50K. With this kind of size limit we immediately had to give up an MFC based solution, a tough decision to make in most cases :). I am very comfortable with MFC and never had bothered about final file size. But for this specific project I had to dig into pure Win32 SDK to get things done. The project was started and the first prototype was sized about 36K and everyone was happy. But problems were raised when we started implementing the user requirements and one day we found that the size of the exe file in release mode had exceeded the 50K limit. And when the final product was about to be shipped the size had reached about 72K. We were thinking about re-nagotiating the size limit with our client. Fortunately I posted a question on one of the Microsoft news threads and got some prompt replies. I tried to test the instructions that I received from the news thread on my application, and the result were simply amazing, my file size reduced to 35K resulting in about 50% files size reduction. We were happy and so was our client :)
So what are those magic tricks? Actually all you have to do is to instruct compiler to leave out unnecessary code from your application. If you create a simple HelloWorld Win32 Application from the app wizard and compile it in release mode, the resulting exe file size is 24K. Too much for a simple "Hello World" application. Now, perform the following steps:
LINK : warning LNK4098: default lib "LIBC" conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library
LINK : warning LNK4108: /ALIGN specified without /DRIVER or /VXD; image may not run
That's it, we have reduced size of our Hello World app from 24K to 3K. There are some other options that you can try in this regard:
I haven't yet tried these tricks with MFC projects, so results are unpredictable. But that should not stop you from trying these options on MFC projects.

Things to See & Do
Outdoor adventure possibilities never end in Asheville, with four navigable rivers, winter skiing, and all kinds of biking challenges: curvy roads for motorbike, miles of off-road trails for mountain bike, and the Blue Ridge Parkway and great roads for road bike. The area's reputation continues to grow as an outdoor mecca, with an annual festival devoted strictly to mountain sports and consistent ratings by publications as a top adventure town in the U.S. Soft adventure awaits car travelers and others less willing to hang from the side of a rock for thrills—the Blue Ridge, Great Smoky, and Black Mountains provide the perfect backdrop for spring color and fall leaf viewing and easy hiking and picnic facilities abound off the Parkway.
Bountiful attractions for many ages and interests - George Vanderbilt's mansion and Biltmore Estate among them. But, did you know there are railroads, nature preserves, and even a casino? Be sure to check the list for off-the-beaten-path attractions like the Blue Ridge Corn Maze and other undiscovered treasures sure to delight and surprise. Museum attractions are plentiful, with the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, the home place of one of America's beloved writers, as well as an art museum and many other history and cultural centers.
If you seek it, you will find it. Downtown bustles with the energy of an active nightlife well after the sun goes down. At least seven theatre companies as well as a number of independent stages and venues lead the way in arts entertainment, but an art house movie theatre, microbreweries, and mountain music at many turns in the road round out the possibilities.
- Relax, rest, and rejuvenate in Asheville at one of many spas that have sprung up over the last few years.
- The city of Ashville rates, year after year, as one of the nation's top arts towns, and you will not find a higher concentration of artists and crafters many places other than Western North Carolina.
-Tee off from the mountains at one of the area's many golf courses, several of which were designed by well-known designer Donald Ross. Stop by the Visitor Center to purchase a valuable golf coupon book.
- Family adventure awaits with mini golf, a climbing center, paint-your-own pottery shops, and even a place called Fun Depot, just for kids. Two downtown science museums specialize in children young and old, and get out of the city for down to earth experiences at the Cradle of Forestry or Vance Birthplace. Don't forget that some of the best family fun can't be bought—take time to splash in the water at Sliding Rock or go stargazing on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
- Just about every weekend from spring until fall, Asheville and its surrounding towns play host to all kinds of festivals from Bele Chere, the southeast's largest outdoor street festival, to the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival which celebrates the area's rich heritage.

Bryce Jacobson, Publisher's Notebook
Bryce Jacobson's "Publisher's Notebook" appears periodically in the Craig Daily Press. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com Happy New Year.
We have now reached a new year, and I'm hopeful that the financial woes many have experienced will move on and away.
Far, far away, in fact.
I stand in awe of this great country when we react to a challenging time. The Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks come to mind as one of those trying times.
Although that challenging event was driven by different circumstances, it didn't take our country long to find a solution and move forward.
I am optimistic that a similarly successful approach will result from our current challenge.
Need bailed out?
Now located in the old Cattoor Photography location, 2255 W. Victory Way in Craig, is B & G Bail Bonds. The business opened Nov. 1, 2008.
Clint Whitehead, owner/operator said he "moved to Craig because I am a big history buff, and I wanted to become a part of the community that I could grow in and raise some kids."
Basic services provided by B & G Bail Bonds include providing money to bail people out of jail, and serving as a recovery agent for those who skip bail, are wanted felons, or folks on America's Most Wanted list. The business serves Moffat, Routt and Rio Blanco counties from the Craig office and can be reached at 824-5276 or 629-9672.
New salon, new faces and brand new decor
That is what you will find at the old location of Attitudez in Centennial Mall. Breezes Salon has taken over the lease, and it's located across the way from Eyecare Specialties.
Veronica Simpson - hair stylist and nail tech - and Patricia Schumaker, - master colorist/co-owner - already are very busy and anxious to hire two new people, a nail tech, and a stylist.
Schumaker has owned and operated four other salons, three of them in Colorado, and has been a stylist for more than 16 years.
"Customer service is No. 1 in my book, and we pride ourselves on that," Schumaker said.
The four-booth salon has been redecorated with a tropical theme. Each booth has been recreated into a styling station with bamboo as the main accent.
Breezes is open seven days a week: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Although the business will not offer tanning beds, it has added skin care and body waxing. It also offers coffee and treats each day, adjustable European shampoo bowls, and a Maiden Spa, a heated, reclining leather massage chair.
Breezes Salon can be reached at 824-2300.
At an office near you : food delivered to you
Cookies Custom Catering, 660 Yampa Ave., opened for business at the beginning of December.
Jeana and Paul Anderson co-own one of Craig's newest eateries. They offer everything from breakfast burritos to deli wraps and hot sandwiches.
The business has been open in Wyoming for more than 11 years and has served folks as far away as Torrington and Green River, Wyo. Their goal had once been to set up for special events such as fairs or downtown events, but now they do it all.
There is no minimum on how much you have to order for delivery. That's right, you can call and order one or six Espresso's and have them delivered to you anywhere in Craig for only a 10 percent delivery fee.
"We wanted to make it convenient, for those who can't get away from the office," said Jeana Anderson.
They also wanted to provide an alternative to the traditional offerings for delivery, Italian or Chinese food.
Cookies Custom Catering is open Monday through Thursday for takeout in Craig or for delivery by calling 824-0202. They open at 5 a.m. for breakfast each day and close at 3 p.m.

If you are a pro level talent you will be a pro. School has very little to do with it.

[Ed-S: Bumped from boards]
Which team/conference should a high school recruit choose given the a desire to reach the NFL. Here are the tables that I abstracted from databaseFootball.com. They are only through 2010 so they would not include this years rookies. Starred teams have moved conferences recently. ( I gave up trying to star all the past and future moves the Big East is making.) This was a bit of a project with lots of cut and paste into a set of spread sheets. It would appear that one might want to play college football in the BIG 10 if you want to maximize the likelihood that you will play in the NFL although it will still be a long shot that you will play very long even if drafted.
As you look at the databaseFootball.com tables it's obvious just how short the careers of NFL players really are. By the eyeball it is about 4 years on average over the history of the NFL but here is the official NFL line from NFL Communications:
"One fan on the conference call said she has read many times that the average career length of an NFL player is about three years, adding it seemed so many played much longer than that. She asked Commissioner Goodell about his knowledge of NFL career length.
"There is a little bit of a misrepresentation or a misunderstanding on that. Frequently, it is said that the average career is about 3.5 years. In fact, if a player makes an opening day roster, his career is very close to six years," Commissioner Goodell said. "If you are a first-round draft choice, the average career is close to nine years. That 3.5-year average is really a misrepresentation. What it adds is a lot of players who don't make an NFL roster and it brings down the average."
According to a recent NFL Management Council analysis of players who entered the NFL between 1993 and 2002, the average career length for a player who is on his club's opening-day roster as a rookie is 6.0 years.
That 6.0 average is 88 percent higher than NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith's recent claim.
"The fundamental principle of our business model necessarily includes that every player only plays for an average of 3.2 years," Smith said in a March 31 forum with MBA students at the University of Virginia .
Following are the facts from the career-length analysis (using regular-season and postseason rosters):
As usual there is a disagreement between management and labor on the facts. Charts? Charts....

If you are a pro level talent you will be a pro. School has very little to do with it.
I don't agree with this. Coaching has much to do with it, and that, as well as the scheme you play in, can mean the difference between a higher or lower round, which consequently has an effect on your pay and how you're viewed by the team that drafted you, the amount of time they're willing to invest in you, etc.
I agree with you, but it is also true that that goes only so far. NFL recruiters know that stats can be inflated by those things, and not all those things will transfer into the NFL.
Jerry Rice agrees.
See: Timmy Chang.
You stated "higher or lower round" which still equals pro thus proving my point that it doesn't matter where you go to school.
If you are coached like shit and you still run a 4.3 40 and you have all the measurables you're going to get a shot in the league. Hell the Raiders nearly signed Justin Gatlin a few years back...
Isn't it a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy that if player goes to X school and goes pro, that school attracts more high-level players, who in turn go pro, which attracts more high level players, etc. I don't think the school/conference itself matters much. Michigan has had many QBs play in the NFL, but most are not as good as Jay Cutler (jokes aside), who comes from Vanderbilt. Talent is everything. If you're good enough, you'll get your shot. Even a small program like CMU has sent its players to the NFL (Joe Staley, Antonio Brown).
Much respect for taking the time to research, though
I think this is certainly a valid point. Obviously the most successful programs are going to recruit the most talented players to begin with, and those players are going to make the pros more often, so I don't think looking at raw numbers will necessarily tell you all that much. At the same time, however, it seems like coaching ought to have an effect. If two players are both equally talented coming out of high school, but one goes to a school with good coaching and the other goes to a school with bad coaching, it seems like player with the better coaching might have a better shot at making the pros.
I wonder if a better way to study this issue might be to take a bunch of players with marginal recruiting ratings--say, 3-star players on Rivals or guys rated 75 by ESPN--and compare their outcomes (i.e., excluding the high-talent players who would likely make the pros even with mediocre coaching)?
Iowa is a great example of turning 3-star talent into NFL players. According to your 2010 active numbers, they have an impressive 20 players in the NFL.
What about Notre Dame?
To hell with Notre Dame.
sacrilegious about that comment but I totally agree.
I don't think France puts many people into the NFL.
The French have really bad attitudes.
Charles Michael Romes (born in Verdun, France) was an NFL cornerback with the Buffalo Bills and the San Diego Chargers. He played college football at North Carolina Central University.
Richard Tardits (born in Biarritz, France) played college football at the University of Georgia. He held the record for most sacks in a career at his Alma Mater, until David Pollock broke his record in 2004. He was referred to as "Le Sack" by fans because of his French birth.
Tardits played for the New England Patriots in the NFL.
That is all....
492 total and 19 playing
What is a Notre Dame?
Great content OP!
you will be picked yes.
However, I think if you play with high level players - your skills are better displayed. An average RB can look like a star RB with a an NFL level line to block for him.
So for the borderline cases of talent - it is good to play for a school which attracts other high level players.
In addition, chances are these schools have better connections with NFL teams than some of the lesser programs.
Interesting stuff. In general, big-name schools attract big-name recruits, who in turn play in marquee games on Saturday and that pushes teams to draft them so that they play on Sunday. I'm sure you'll see a slightly uptick in the SEC teams with the increased number of recruits as well as talent down there, but I always suspected that kids who play in the NFL come from all walks of life and schools.
I was surprised that Dayne Sanzenbacher and Brandon Saine are both heavily involved on their teams at WR and KR, respectively, considering how they received little or no draft attention. I think in terms of purely draft hype, players from the SEC garner a lot of attention, usually, but not all of them are as good as they are supposed to be. This is probably just a product of the conference being the "best conference in college football".
The "draft boards" that people use are usually very good at abstracting talent regardless of how their college team is doing, but I think the pedigree of school inadvertently still plays a huge role in the determination of who is the #1, #2, etc. WR's for example. So if we take a census of all the players currently in the NFL, I think we'd expect to see about an even number of players from each conference (adjusted for conference "prestige"), which the data above supports. Yet, the very best players aren't all from the SEC, or even Big Six conferences in some cases.
With the SEC dominance over the last decade and all the talent that passes through the region, I'm really surprised that there isn't a huge number of SEC active NFL players compared to other conferences. Alabama, even, only has had 14 active in 2010. At the same time, undrafted players like Sanzenbacher and Saine are able to find their way onto final rosters of NFL teams.
Paterra, Greg (1989 - 1989)
Porter, Ricky (1982 - 1987)
Sanders, Chuck (1986 - 1987)
Thomas, Enid (1926 - 1926)
if you took all the former Michigan players in the NFL right now (or probably throughout the last 10 years) they would beat every other college's pro players.
So I say a big national school like Michigan would be the way to go (not saying Michigan is the only school though)
It'd be tough to win without a running back.
Pretty much everybody has a hole like that. Alabama and LSU don't have a usable quarterback. Neither does Ohio. Florida would either have to go full Tebow or use Rex Grossman. Ugh.
I looked at this a while back and it's hard to top Cal's NFL squad for quality and diversity--it's an amazing group for a school that isn't top echelon. They cover almost every position--they even have a long snapper and a good kicker, and you'd have Aaron Rodgers handing off to Lynch and Best and throwing to DeSean Jackson and Tony Gonzalez. On defense they're a bit short on numbers and quality up front and you'd have to play a 3-3-5, but at least they can field a full squad.
Seems to the magic number to hit as a sign of top quality programs over the past twenty years
Surprised to see Oklahoma so low though.
CMU has more than 2 players active. (Brown, Staley, Jenkins, Gordy, Zombo, Hartmann) I think that's all.
2010 so if any of them are rookies this year they wouldn't be included in the database
great data and very interesting. you have to consider that alot of teams that play a prostyle offense and defense have a better chance to get players drafted. sans Usc the pac12 has low numbers because there are lots of passing and spread teams...same for the big east and big 12. obviously the Big 10 and Sec play more of a prostyle game on both sides of the ball. tradition and education/smarts have to factor in aswell.. smarter kids have a better shot at certain positions ie center, qb, mlb etc. lots of cool numbers here especially Michigans. thanks for the info.
this is great. I was interested in this very topic a few weeks ago and started doing some google-digging. I stumbled upon an article (It's from a Louisianna paper, not national, and is 3 years old) that focused, specificaly, on which conferences NFL starters had come from. (Linked here) The general gist was that the S.E.C., Big 10, and P.A.C.-12 are all on about even footing. Each conference led in various positions.
Unless I misread this, no school has more active players in the NFL than Michigan. Wow.
All you 5*'s, come here.
Washington State has almost as many active players as Bama
While A+ for effort I know for a fact the CMU table is incorrect: Cullen Jenkins, Antonio Brown and Joe Staley are all active starting players yet the table only lists 2 active. This doesnt include some others that I believe have been backups.
Still the SEC is the belle of the ball but nothing beats the Big 10 for staying power.
Adams, Curtis (1985 - 1988)
Beach, Walter (1960 - 1966)
Bentley, Ray (1986 - 1992)
Bojovic, Novo (1985 - 1985)
Bowman, Jim (1985 - 1989)
Capers, James (1987 - 1987)
Edwards, Tom (1926 - 1926)
Elliott, Tony (1987 - 1987)
Franckowiak, Mike (1975 - 1978)
Ghiaciuc, Eric (2005 - 2008)
Gutierrez, Brock (1997 - 2005)
Hogeboom, Gary (1980 - 1989)
Humphrey, Tory (2005 - 2010)
Jackson, Robert (1982 - 1989)
Jenkins, Cullen (2004 - 2010)
Leigeb, Brian (2002 - 2002)
Podoley, Jim (1957 - 1960)
Rehberg, Scott (1997 - 2003)
Ray Bentley. Outstanding. I didn't know where that guy played, what he did, etc. He's just the most budget color guy ever, and, well, I'm pleased he graduated in the 90's (and not 80's) and went to Central. Just....generally.
I checked out the above names and several of them were in the 2010 draft or undrafted free agents who did not play until 2010. Still it makes me lose some faith in databaseFootball.com that they do not list Joe Staley who is going to the Pro Bowl this year and was active before 2010 (drafted in 2007 1st Round). I will do some added checking to see how far off some of the other data is.
Wikipedia missed Jamar Adams for Uof M and databaseFootball.com includes him!
Here are the two lists of active players. Remember that databaseFootbal is through2010. Wiki is probalbly more current. Getting the real facts could be a real chore. Grr garbage in garbage out. Italics and bold are areas of disagreement.
How does ND stack up??
Read up further.
mostly because the counts are wrong. Looking briefly at the MAC schools, Miami has atleast 2 active NFL players in Jacob Bell been in the league since 2004 and Roethlisberger no qualification needed there. I'm too lazy to look up every school but I am assuming the #s aren't right if I can eye ball one off the top of my head.
leaves off Brayon Edwards, Ryan Mundy, Donovan Warren, Martell Webb, Perry Dorrestein. The Wikipedia seems the most complete as far as including all active players. They even include Ryan Mallet and Justin Boren as Michigan players.

No MTP fun in KDE SC 4.10
If you own an Android device and use Linux in your PC, chances are you've had issues when trying to browse your device through a USB connection. The fact that Android started using MTP made things difficult in Linux, because the latter was not really that ready to support it. For the most part, this is not such a big deal because there are great tools available in Android that truly reduce the gap and offer even better alternatives, such as AirDroid and obviously the Google all-in-the-Cloud approach. However, if you want to download/upload a really big chunk of data, sometimes using a USB cable is the best option.
I was particularly happy to see KDE address this Linux gap in KDE SC 4.10, which was supposed to significantly improve MTP support. Unfortunately, after trying both in Chakra and Fedora, I am consistently getting errors:
Has anybody found a fix for this or knows how to make it work?
5 comments:
I tried many things unsuccessfully until I installed gMTP. With the latter, I have no problems.

A Ponzi scheme is an investing scam promising a very high rate of return that is too good to be true. Charles Ponzi, an Italian con artist, became infamous for the scheme by paying early investors with money from later investors. The game of musical chairs can continue as long as new participants join, but the fraud eventually comes to an end. In today's economy, there is at least one asset manager that believes the Treasury market resembles a Ponzi scheme.
Scott Minerd, global chief investment officer at Guggenheim Partner, recently reminded clients that many investors are ignoring fundamentals and purchasing bonds purely on the belief they can sell them tomorrow for more than they paid today. This is being accomplished through massive intervention by the nation's central bank.
Minerd explains: "The U.S. Treasuries market could now be described as a Ponzi market. The only reason investors would buy Treasuries today is that they expect the Federal Reserve will buy them at higher prices in the future. This reasoning will come unstuck, however, once the Fed curtails its asset purchase program. We do not know when the Fed will taper QE, but the longer its expansionary policy continues, the more volatility-inducing pressure will build. That means stock and bond markets appear to be in for a rough ride over the next six months or so."

Clinical Nutrition Service Opens in Southern California
Special diets, consultation services available for sick or obese pets
Pets, clients and veterinarians have a new resource for veterinary health in Southern California—the "WALTHAM UC Veterinary Medical Center - San Diego Clinical Nutrition Program."
This new program provides nutrition treatment for ill or obese pets.
Dean Bennie Osburn, WALTHAM representatives, faculty members and special guests launched the service at the San Diego center Friday, March 23. Guests toured the facilities, including a new nutrition kitchen where human foods are prepared for pets requiring special diets.
At this facility, highly trained veterinary nutritionists offer:
· Recommendations for commercial or formulated home-prepared diets to treat diseases that have a nutritional foundation or require dietary intervention
· Individualized weight-loss and weight-management regimens and follow-up care
· Parenteral (intravenous) nutrition formulations
· Nutritional support and consulting on feeding strategies for critically ill animals
· On-site appointments and remote consulting services
According to Larry Cowgill, director of the UCVMC - SD, WALTHAM has partnered with the school to provide start-up support to establish the program and secure its success into the future.
"Initiation of the WALTHAM UCVMC-SD Clinical Nutrition Program will provide a unique opportunity to bring advanced nutrition for the maintenance of health and function to the care of companion animals," said Dr. Catherine Woteki, Global Director of Scientific Affairs for Mars, Incorporated, WALTHAM's parent company.
Dean Bennie Osburn spoke of the value of the public-private partnership that the program represents. "The school has had a strong and productive relationship with WALTHAM spanning several decades. This service incorporates the academic expertise and technology with the nutritional product and the commercial distribution of this service to help veterinarians treat critical ill animals. Both partners bring unique attributes together for the benefit of society and our animal companions. I'm pleased to be here with you all today to celebrate this partnership and all of the potential that it offers."
Palmer Taylor, dean of the UC San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and David Adler, associate dean, attended the event. Both the School of Veterinary Medicine's veterinary pharmacy and veterinary nutrition programs work closely with the UCSD Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the UC San Diego Home Infusion Pharmacy to develop nutritional products, particularly for patients recovering from surgery or serious illness. Students from the pharmacy school spend time at the UCVMC – SD to learn about the uses and effects of drugs in animals, which often differ markedly from how medications affect humans.
Saturday, March 24, veterinary nutrition experts introduced area practitioners to the new program at a seminar covering topics such as the feeding of critically ill patients, the nutritional management of obesity, and a review of home-cooked or raw food diets. The "WALTHAM UC Veterinary Medical Center - San Diego Clinical Nutrition Program" complements the Nutrition Support Service at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Davis. Both locations incorporate research, veterinary instruction, student clinical training and resident specialty training into client services. Veterinarians throughout the country consult with the Nutrition Support Service, one of only a handful of such specialized resources in the United States. Andrea Fascetti, chief of service, comments, "As we make these services available for the first time in Southern California, our long-term goal is to raise awareness of the vital role of nutrition in animal health."
The UCVMC - SD, launched in 1998, fills a growing need for veterinary services in the Southern California region by providing specialty care not currently present at local veterinary clinics, including kidney hemodialysis, behavior and veterinary pharmacy services.
Mars, Incorporated has been a global provider of high-quality snack, food, pet care and health foods, creating some of the world's best-loved brands including M&M'S®, SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY®, UNCLE BEN'S®, PEDIGREE®, WHISKAS®, SHEBA® and SEEDS OF CHANGE®. This American company had its humble beginnings in 1911. Mars, Incorporated, with annual sales volume well in excess of $18 billion, has continued to grow over the past nine decades to become one of the world's largest privately-held companies.
The UC Veterinary Medical Center - San Diego is located at 10435 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite 101, San Diego; (858) 875-7505.

So...I was searching Kazaa last night for..stuff.....and I saw a commercial for the new Rob Zombie House of 1000 Corpses movie. So, I typed 1000 Corpses into the search field, and guess what?? The whole freakin' movie was on there. So naturally, being the curious guy that I am (my friends call me Whiskers), I downloaded it...just to see if it was INDEED what the file name proclaimed.
Well....it was. Needless to say I was shocked and in awe, so I grabbed a diet mountain dew from the fridge, a couple of StarCrunch (OK....FIVE) from the cupboard, and proceded to watch Mr. Zombie's much heard about, but forever in limbo film project.
Let me start by saying, I wasn't expecting much. I figured, the guy has decent music (alot of it sounds like the same song), but what the hay, he could make a good movie, right?
The story in a nutshell, 4 college age kids are driving cross country looking for roadside points of interest, and write a book about them. What they find is a house full of psychos, that love Halloween, and have a hankerin' for torturing passers-by.
Visually, it's similar to Rob's music videos. Lots of bizarre images thrown in the middle of scenes, wacky nude girls dancing around, and washed out images, showing acts of gore.
The grossout factor isn't as bad as I would've expected, since it's gone through 3-4 studios not willing to release it because of gore and dialogue. Sure, it has some nasty choppings and slicings, but nothing like the old Italian Giallo films by Bava* or Argento*
*For those who don't know these 2 names, but you are a horror fan, check them out. Not your typical Hollywood horror directors.
The acting was kinda...weird. The nutty people were nutty, that's for sure. The college kids spouted typical horror film jargon in sarcastic annoying voices. The supporting characters (Cops, Dad) did good jobs delivering their lines.
It was sorta scary. No real "jump out of your seat" scares, though.
I don't want to give anything away..so... I won't.
If you were thinking about going to see House of 1000 Corpses...go see it, it is good. If you weren't thinking of going to see it....go see it, it's good.
I just hope the DVD has some of the "disturbing" footage that obviously didn't make this cut.

Pulpo also known as Polbo, is Galencian specialty prepared using octopus. It is also known as polbo estilo feira and pulpo a galega. Some Spanish regions around Galicia like Lugo and Ourense are famous for their octopus preparations. The octopus is normally cooked during festivities. The Galician cooks who specialize in octopus preparations are called pulpeiras and the restaurants which sell the dish are called pulperías. The pulperias are normally modeled as rough-and-ready eateries rather than sophisticated and refined restaurant. Pulpo e galega means octopus prepared in Galician style. The Pulpo á feira is normally consumed as tapas and has gained popularity as a socializing dish. The Pulpo á feira is also eaten as the light main during the lunch time.
Pulpo Recipe- Ingredients Prescribed
Following a typical recipe of Pulpo á feira, the ingredients like water, sea salt, frozen octopus, potatoes, virgin olive oil and hot paprika are combined in unique proportions to make this dish.
Pulpo Recipe- Method of Preparation
The tentacles and head of the octopus are tipped by boiling them in the copper cauldron. The head part is discarded and the tentacles are used in the preparation of the dish. The boiled octopus is treated with salt and paprika and seared with olive oil. The octopus is cooked to point till it loses its rubbery texture. The Pulpo á feira is mostly served on wooden plates along with bread and boiled potatoes. During the summers, the potatoes are left out and frozen octopus is seared with olive oil to create refreshing taste.
Traditionally water is prohibited with any octopus preparation; so the dish is mostly accompanied with a glass of red wine. The red wines with citrus qualities are mostly preferred with the dish. Following the traditional Pulpo á feira recipe- octopus is tenderized by freezing for a week or two. In ancient times the octopus meat was tenderized by beating the animal with rock or meat mallet. But in last few years, the cooks are opting for dried octopus in place of frozen meat. Minor alterations are made to the pulpo a feira recipe to incorporate the seasonal availability of the ingredients. The smaller and tender octopus is not considered good for preparing the dish. The cooked octopus can be stored in refrigerator for long time, but it should be served at room temperature.

Hyderabad, March 20: A new political alliance is taking shape in Andhra Pradesh ahead of assembly and Lok Sabha polls as the Bharatiya Janata Party, Telugu Desam Party and Jana Sena, launched recently by Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan, are inching towards an understanding. (Read: BJP announces six-party alliance in Tamil Nadu)
Kalyan will be meeting BJP's prime ministerial candidate and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Friday in Ahmedabad for talks to finalise the arrangement, while BJP leader Prakash Javadekar is reaching Hyderabad Thursday to meet TDP leaders. (Read: BJP hints at yielding to Advani's wish)
Both BJP and TDP are keen to have the young actor as a partner in the alliance as they were attracted by his slogan 'Congress hatao, desh bachao' (Remove Congress, save the country).
Kalyan, the younger brother of union minister and Congress leader K. Chiranjeevi, has held preliminary talks with BJP leaders for an alliance. While launching Jana Sena last week, he came down heavily on the Congress for dividing Andhra Pradesh but spared both TDP and BJP.
Meanwhile, Javadekar, who is incharge of BJP affairs in Andhra Pradesh, is arriving here Thursday for final talks with TDP leadership to finalise the tie-up. He will first meet BJP leaders from Telangana to convince them on the need to have an alliance with the TDP.
BJP leaders from Telangana are reluctant to have TDP as a partner as the latter is perceived as anti-Telangana in the region. They fear TDP's image may impact their prospects. But G. Kishan Reddy, who heads BJP's Telangana unit, said they would abide by the party leadership's decision on the issue.
However, the BJP is demanding majority of the 119 assembly and 17 Lok Sabha seats. A section of TDP leaders has taken exception to this "unreasonable" demand.
Javadekar last week held talks with TDP leaders in Hyderabad. BJP sources said the party may climb down as the central leadership is keen to have an alliance with TDP, which appears to have an upper hand in Seemandhra or residuary Andhra Pradesh.
In Seemandhra, which has 175 assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats, the BJP is likely to demand a limited number. Both BJP and TDP may also leave a few seats for Jana Sena in the two regions.
They are looking to cash in on the star's popularity in the fight against Congress and YSR Congress in Seemandhra and Congress and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in Telangana.
TDP had fought 1999 elections in alliance with the BJP. TDP not only retained power in the state but the alliance bagged majority of 42 Lok Sabha seats. However, following a crushing defeat in the 2004 elections, TDP dumped the BJP.
In 2009, TDP and BJP fought the elections separately. TDP had formed a grand alliance with TRS and the left parties but could not return to power.

The March issue of InStyle hits newsstands this Friday, February 8.
On her boyfriend, Jason Segel:
He is nice… I didn't actually realize who he was before I started dating him. I mean, I saw the Muppets movie, and I thought, oh, that's cute, but the truth is I didn't realize he made a lot of very popular, funny movies or was on a TV show. But maybe more important, I didn't realize he was so tall [6'4"]. I thought, Hey, man, you're cramping my style! I tried wearing wedge heels for a while to compensate, but it wasn't me and I just gave up.

On "having no place like home":
I cook and clean a lot these days. I'm in a very domestic cycle, and I happen to love it. I feel like this is a real expression of my love for my daughter. Not the only one, but an important one. As a parent, you want the kid to come back to a place where it seems like the walls are made of feather down.
On shooting "Oz":
I spent a lot of the shoot in a leather corset, wired up in a harness, and flying around in a costume that weighed 10 pounds. I hear some women enjoy wearing a corset, but tell them to try 17 hours of that and then get back to me. [But she did have downtime:] I went to the zoo and the museum, and I shot a bunch of short films with James Franco in which I played a zombie. It was crazy!

I've been wearing the same pair of dark green Old Navy cargo pants, like, non-stop, for 15 years. I think I paid $4.99, on clearance. My friends hate them so much they hide them from me. When those pants fall apart, I swear I'm going to get someone to copy them for me.
On the best part of filming "Oz":
Michelle's daughter and my son are about the same age, so they went to camp together, and we took them bowling. It was really fun for me and Michelle too, because you don't get that many mommy playdates in our business.
*See Rachel's Ever-Changing Style*
On how her style has evolved:
As a teenager I used to dress in big, baggy men's suits, with lots of red lipstick. Then in my 20s I used to wear very tight thermal tops: underwear as outerwear. I was much curvier then too—I'd throw on a cardigan and big jeans. I didn't start really growing up until my 30s. But I hope I don't ever get too grown-up. I always try to hold on to something butch.

Holy Jebus...is that...a...BALANCED game? With assault rifles that DON'T have ridiculous accuracy?
This is making MW2 look stupid by comparison, and I usually don't even like the battlefield series. But, this is too epic for me to ignore.Posted: February 9, 2010 11:35 PM -

But who in the world edited this thing? It becomes way too boring to watch, and looks way too scripted.Posted: November 23, 2009 3:46 PM

by William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was about 41 years old when he wrote King Lear, the tragedy that many deem his greatest. He created the play to be performed for King James, who had assumed the English throne shortly before, in 1603. Featured in the tragedy is a ruler who in some ways diverged sharply from James. James showed a commitment to peace and to preserving the integrity of and even unifying Britain, in contrast to Lears fatal division of his kingdom, which prompted bloodshed and war. Shakespeare wrote this tragedy well after the halfway point of his twodecade career, at a time when his acting company, the Kings Men, was cementing its position as Londons preeminent theatrical troupe. Shortly thereafter, he would stop writing tragedies altogether. King Lear is therefore one of Shakespeares last great statements on the tragic potential in human...

Prince Charles gains an ally in Vancouver
A foundation formed by Prince Charles will collaborate with Simon Fraser University on projects of urban studies graduate students and on work with commercial developers in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Vancouver Sun said the university sees the linkup with the Prince's Foundation for Building Community as something that will fit both the school and the interests of metropolitan Vancouver.
The university's urban studies master's program has historically focused on social, economic, and cultural aspects of sustainable place-making, but less on physical design, Anthony Perl, director of SFU's Urban Studies Program, told the paper. "The Prince's Foundation's strength in design and our strength in sustainability seem like a good fit together," he said.
The partnership of the university and the 25-year-old foundation will enable students at SFU to learn from the work that the Prince's Foundation has doing in a number of locations around the world. The partnership will also "provide consulting services to the city's progressive developers to incorporate new design principles into their projects, the Sun said.
Simon Fraser is the foundation's first partner in North America, the paper said.

The control arm bushings found in the F-Body automobiles can have a significant impact on the vehicle's ride, comfort, handling, acceleration, noise and vibration. When the car leans (i.e., rolls) in a turn, one side of the chassis moves upward relative to the rear axle, the other side moves downward, and the control arms must twist to allow for the axle to articulate. This causes the control arm bushings to bind. If this bind becomes excessive, it will raise the rear wheel rate and produce sudden, uncontrolled, undesirable changes in handling (e.g., snap oversteer).
Chevrolet minimizes this suspension bind by using compliant rubber bushings in both lower control arms. These relatively soft bushings help accommodate the necessary motion of the control arms during body roll. However, the rubber bushings do not provide much in the way of forward and aft support, which can cause wheel hop during hard acceleration and braking.
It has become common practice to replace the stock rubber control arm bushings with solid or two piece polyurethane bushings to resolve the shortcomings of the soft rubber bushings. Hard polyurethane bushings eliminate wheel hop, reduce axle deflection, and improve rear straight line grip. However, the downside of common aftermarket bushings such as delrin, steel, stiffer rubber, solid or two piece polyurethane bushings is they prevent the necessary movement of the control arms during body roll, which in turn produces significant binding in the suspension when the vehicle is cornering. The polyurethane bushings also place unnecessary high stresses on the torque boxes, which are the attachment points for the control arms to the chassis. Standard aftermarket control arms do not allow for rotation of the control arm during cornering because of the stiffness of the bushings.
The Solution:
We at J&M Products designed and built a tubular lower control arm which will eliminate the unwanted uncontrolled control arm flex. Round tubing is harder to work with but has many other advantages over square or rectangular tubing. It is stronger in bending, torsion, and also lighter than square or rectangular tubing.
We then solved the shortcomings of the factory rubber and other aftermarket polyurethane and stiffer rubber bushings. This was accomplished this with our Patent Pending 3 piece Poly-Ball bushing combination. By spending countless hours looking and dissecting the geometry and the need of the rear suspension we come out with bind-free bushings set up. Our Patent Pending Poly-Ball bushing combination incorporates a very hard inner polyurethane ball which is surrounded by soft socket outer cups. This combination allows the bushing to articulate like a spherical bearing during cornering but the hard inner ball does not allow the bushing to deflect during acceleration giving you great traction during acceleration like solid bushings but remains completely bind free like a spherical bearing during cornering for great predictable traction in the corners.
History and information about J&M Products and their products.
LMPerformance introduces J&M Products produces adj-control arms brackets, ball joints, lower control arms, panhard rods, brake kits, shock tower braces, brake lines, shock tower braces, subframe connectors, upper control arms for your performance vehicle. You can trust the J&M parts because J & M has proven their parts are of excellent quality. They have been in the business of manufacturing aftermarket parts since 1963 and constantly improve existing products. If you are in the market for one of these parts for your Camaro, Firebird and Mustang you have come to the right place. Let the LMPerformance team help you with your selection and get a great price too!
J & M is a California company that has concentrated their efforts in design and manufacturing on the muscle cars, CARMARO and Mustang and this dedication to limited vehicles affords them the ability to use all of their resources for specific goals rather than spreading them among a potpourri of vehicles. J & M's continuing search for ways to improve suspension products is evident in the release of their entirely redesigned camber and caster plates for the 2005-2010 Mustang which affords increased camber adjustment compared to other brands and the unique design which allows you to install it for either street use or racing. If you find that your tires on your Mustang are wearing unevenly or if you are a performance aficionado and have lowered your Mustang then you should consider installing the J & M caster camber plates and the benefits are multiple: correcting your suspension geometry after lowering it, less tire wear, adjustability, improved steering, and improved alignment. No, caster camber plates will not increase your Mustang's power, but they will enhance your Mustang's suspension performance and that is a big plus. Still diligent in their pursuit of innovative products J & M designed and manufactured direct fit PTFE lined brake hose kits for your Mustang, Camaro and Firebird that routes and fits precisely because it uses original equipment manufacturers style direct replacement but whose Teflon properties do not expand the way your stock rubber hoses can and consequently will not result in the squishy brake pedal feel you get when a rubber hose expands. In addition, the J & M brake hoses are designed with the performance driver in mind because they can withstand the rigors which you subject them to in extreme racing conditions and higher temperatures. Another sui generis product from J & M, the adjustable pan hard rod is primo quality and lightweight and serves the purpose of keeping your Mustang, Camaro and Firebirds rear axle where it should be so that you will experience a significant improvement in cornering and handling. And yet another stupendous innovation from J & M, the improved upper and lower control arms for your Camaro, Mustang and Firebird with its round tubing and their nonpareil patent pending three piece poly-ball bushing combination that is bind free. And if you have lowered your Mustang consider J & M/Ingalls Engineering extended length ball joints that will raise the roll center and reduce body roll and brake dive, and you can find these and other exciting J & M products for your Mustang, Camaro and Firebird on the LMPERORMANCE web site and can get them at a competitive price and free shipping.

From Clutch magazine: According to the New York Times, Cissy Houston, mother of legendary singer Whitney Houston, has been meeting with publishers to write a book about her daughter's life and untimely death.
Houston, who died unexpectedly in February, publicly struggled with drug and alcohol abuse for years. Although many thought she had conquered her demons, an autopsy revealed her death was directly related to her long-term substance abuse problems.
Cissy Houston has pitched her book to publishers as the "the real and definitive" book about Whitney's life, and has promised not to hold back on any of the details.
"It's going to be the bad, it's going to be the good," Mrs. Houston told one publisher.
Along with telling the whole story about her daughter's life, Mrs. Houston also told publishers she wanted to combat some of the lies that have circulated after Whitney's death.
If picked up by a publisher, Mrs. Houston's book won't be the only one published about the late singer. Close family friend Bebe Winans is also working on a book entitled, The Whitney I Knew.

Like millions of Americans, former national motocross champion Chuck Greene is gripped by the TV sensation that is Terror is Reality. Hosted by the flamboyant Tyrone King, Terror is Reality pits ordinary members of the public against an arena full of zombies with a simple challenge – kill more zombies than your opponents and stay alive with the winner collecting big money and the chance to come back and secure even greater prizes. So, what is it that has forced Chuck to come to Fortune City and risk his life in the modern day gladiatorial contest, is he trying to recapture the fame of his motocross days, does he have a reason to hate zombies, or is it simply the lure of big money?
Collect all combo cards and complete every side mission in the game.

Not only did the sequences I saw feel uninspired, the game suffered from several eye-catching technical issues that I doubted would be fixed in time for launch. I feared that this was actually a step back for Capcom's "other" zombie franchise, a shame given its place as the silly yin to Resident Evil's serious yang.
I couldn't have been more wrong, and I couldn't be happier about it. Read More »
