Auditing and Internal Control BY WELDON POWELL PARTNER, EXECUTIVE OFFICE Presented at the Sixth Annual Accounting Workshop of the Alabama Society of Certified Public Accountants, University, Alabama — October 1956 INTRODUCTION No other single factor is more important than internal control in shaping the design of the audit. It affects both the type and the amount of work that is done. An audit is largely custom-made, judgment concerning the effectiveness of internal control being the principal feature of the pattern from which it is tailored. Unlike most other cases of design, however, the audit is carried on as the pattern itself is being formed. Improvements in recent years in systems-techniques and in ways of making the internal organization more effective has permitted the emphasis in auditing to shift importantly from verification of transactions and balances to appraisal of internal control. The overriding purpose, of course, has not changed. Ascertainment of the likelihood that the records can be relied upon to furnish a reasonable basis for a fair presentation in the financial statements when viewed as a whole, continues to be the principal aim of the usual audit. The amount of work that auditors ordinarily do today in connection with cash, for example, is in part a carry-over from the period when detail checking was the main part of the audit. Verification of transactions and balances undoubtedly will play a diminishing role as general understanding of the limits of the usual audit widens. AUDITING STANDARDS RELATING TO SURVEY OF INTERNAL CONTROL The significance of internal control in shaping the audit is recognized in the literature. For example, the second standard of field work set forth in "Generally Accepted Auditing Standards," a special report by the Committee on Auditing Procedure of the American Institute of Accountants states, "There is to be a proper study and evaluation of the existing internal control as a basis for reliance thereon and for the de-termination of the resultant extent of the tests to which auditing proce- 248

We know they're zombies and all, but "The Walking Dead" can't get here fast enough for us. How about you?
Zap2it offers your first look at the new "Walking Dead" promo to keep you occupied, adding to the zombie-tacular trailer and fan-made opening sequence already heavily on rotation on our computers.
If you've read the graphic novels, you already know the story, and if you're new to the series, we're just going to give you the rough premise: Police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) gets shot in the line of duty, falls into a coma and then wakes up to a full blown zombie apocalypse.
The promo is short, but sweet (like brains!). We love how the gunshots line up with the music. That car swarming scene gets us every time, and zombie children are just scary and tragic. And that last scene had us laughing nervously.
We'll be watching "The Walking Dead" on Sunday, Oct. 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on AMC.
Stay in the loop about all things zombie by "liking" "The Walking Dead" Facebook fan page and following @WalkingDead_AMC on Twitter.
How excited are you for Z-Day?

Why Are Torah Punishments So Harsh?
I know there is an infinite, loving G‑d. It's just that I can't get my head around a few things in the Torah, like death penalties for gays, wizards, and people who curse their parents. Even if these people have erred, couldn't they just be asked to stop or be punished with exile? That's why it's hard to believe that a G‑d who can make a billion galaxies and stars would want us to kill over different beliefs.
Before answering your question, it's worthwhile to note just how difficult it actually is to impose the death penalty in Jewish law.
First of all, circumstantial evidence won't cut it. You need two impeccable witnesses who had observed the person transgressing an act punishable by death. Next, these two witnesses had to have warned the person of the capital punishment he could receive for doing the prohibited act, even if he already knew. Finally, the person must have committed the transgression immediately after the warning. Any hesitation and the death penalty is off. The same applies to other forms of punishment.
To meet all of these conditions and incur the death penalty seems more like committing suicide then simply transgressing.
Nevertheless, the questions remains: As long as you are not hurting anyone else, sinning is your own private business. Why should you receive any sort of punishment? To get to the bottom of this, let's fly to the moon.
On December 24, 1968, the crew of Apollo 8 made history as the first astronauts to go into orbit around both sides of the moon and beam back pictures of the lunar landscape. The next day, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of blessed memory, discussed a lesson to be learned from the event.1
Central Command trains the astronauts how to eat, sleep, dress, and behave in all areas of their life while on board. Deviations, they are told, can mean the waste of billions of dollars. Hearing that such large sums of government money are at stake, the astronauts take every detail of their instructions very seriously.
Moreover, astronaut compliance has nothing to do with how much, if at all, they understand the benefits of the instructions, or the damage caused by not complying. Only the experts on the ground, who spent years researching the issues, know all the specific details. Therefore, the astronauts follow orders without question, even if they don't know the entire reasoning behind everything, because they understand that there are dire consequences for themselves and their team members.
Neither does an astronaut say, "Look, I'm only one of three—which makes me the minority. So if I don't do everything correctly, it's not going to make such a difference." Rather, he knows that any one miscalculation on his part endangers not only himself, but the other two astronauts as well.
Like a flight manual, the Torah guides and instructs us for a safe mission through life. In it, G‑d warns us of the 365 don'ts (the negative commandments) that can derail us and jeopardize our life mission. We don't always know why certain actions are more damaging and dangerous than others, and therefore carry a more severe punishment. But Mission Control does. So we listen.
Moreover, our decisions impact not only ourselves, but our friends, family, community, and the entire world. Actually, the entire idea can be found in a Midrash, composed long before anyone dreamed of space travel:
Moses exclaimed, "One person sins, and You are angry at the entire community?"2
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai taught a parable for this, of people sitting in a boat. One of them took a drill and began drilling underneath his seat.
"What are you doing?" demanded his friends.
"What concern is it of yours?" he responded. "Am I not drilling under my own seat?"
They said to him: "Yes, but the waters will come up and drown the entire boat."3
The Mishnah states, "Why was the human being created alone? ... To teach you that every person must say: For me the world was created."4 This world, as well as all of the spiritual realms leading to it, was created for each and every person individually. As Maimonides teaches, "A person should always view himself and the entire world as if it is exactly balanced. If he does one mitzvah, he is meritorious, for he has weighed himself and the entire world to the side of merit, and he has caused for himself and for all, salvation and redemption."5
Taking all this into account, let's look back at our situation: We're talking about a very stable, Torah-directed society—evidenced by the fact that there is a Bet Din that has the power to enforce Jewish law. We are talking about a community where people know the difference between right and wrong and only very rarely does someone step out of those boundaries. One person comes along and decides to do something totally outrageous, despite a warning from two witnesses and right in front of them, knowing exactly what he is doing and what will happen to him for doing it. Basically, drilling a hole in a watertight boat for every and any sin to enter.
Truthfully, I doubt that such cases occurred too often. Rabbi Akiva was of the opinion that a court that issues a death sentence once in 70 years is a murderous court. But the message is there: Don't imagine you're an island to yourself. Think twice before sinning. The entire world depends on you.
The conceptual explanation given for us not having the death penalty any longer is that it became clear that the collective was not being governed as a reflection of God's will. So it no longer had the right to carry out the Biblical death penalties. So it's not as if we would re-instate the death penalty even if we could.
The reason that witnesses and a warning was important, was that it meant that someone who continued was making a conscious decision to change the norms of society. And that's why they used to administer a sentence. Not because the person 'deserved' it or not.
I wouldn't have thought of having a death penalty for consenting, single, adults even 2K years ago. But then I didn't author the rules of the Torah, and neither did I create the world. And I didn't try ordering a society to refl

Rejection, bullying, name-calling and outright hatred and death-threats towards us will not help us. It just makes things worse.

In the early days of real estate company The Corcoran Group, founder Barbara Corcoran was strategically learning how to brand her company without having the available funds that her much larger and wealthier competitors had.
She didn't have much to work with, but knew she needed to make herself known as an expert in the industry. Corcoran took the total sales her company had closed in the past six months, came up with an "average New York City apartment price," and named the report the "Corcoran Report."
The "Shark Tank" investor writes on LinkedIn that she received so much media attention from the report that, within a week of publication, The Corcoran Group no longer had to introduce themselves to prospective clients.
"The easiest way to steal market share from your competitors is to steal the limelight, and nothing can make you the industry leader faster than being quoted regularly in the press," says Corcoran. "The Corcoran Group had instant credibility!"
It worked so well during its debut that Corcoran decided to publish a new "Corcoran Report" every six months for the next 20 years. In doing so, she generated tens of millions of dollars for her company.
But Corcoran didn't stop here. When she found out Madonna was pregnant, the real estate broker decided to publish "The Madonna Report," which simply listed amenities that Corcoran believed Madonna would want in an apartment were she was looking. It generated so much press that even though she never got Madonna as a client, she did get Richard Gere. Over the next dozen years, Corcoran became the go-to person for celebrities moving to New York City.
"Here's what I learned. Reporters always need good stories and the statistics to back them up. The best way to get media attention is to provide them with a report chock full of statistics," says Corcoran. "You'll be surprised how much you actually know about your industry and take for granted once you start putting the statistical details down on paper."

LAMPEDUSA, Italy -- Italian divers today recovered the bodies of more migrants from the wreck of a smugglers' ship that sank off the tiny island of Lampedusa, raising the death toll to 274.
LAMPEDUSA, Italy -- Italian divers today recovered the bodies of more migrants from the wreck of a smugglers' ship that sank off the tiny island of Lampedusa, raising the death toll to 274.
Coast Guard Commander Filippo Marini said 42 bodies were recovered from within the ship's hold, while one was spotted by a helicopter floating near the wreck.
Marini said the search would continue as long as weather allows. Just 155 migrants, most if not all from Eritrea, survived Thursday's shipwreck. Survivors said there were some 500 people on board when the ship capsized and sank in sight of land.
A disproportionate number of the dead are women: So far the bodies of 81 women have been recovered, while only six of the survivors were female. Eight of the dead are children.
"Inside, we're finding more women than men," Gianni Dessi, the coast guard official coordinating the diving operation, told Sky TG24. "We hope not, but we expect to find more children."
He said the scene inside the ship's hold is tough for divers, but that "maintaining cold blood is a quality that helps the operation."
The survivors were helping with the identification of the bodies, mostly through photographs. In some cases, divers also have recovered documents.
Thursday's shipwreck has one of the highest verified death tolls among migrant ship disasters in the Mediterranean Sea. Humanitarian organizations have had reports of large numbers of migrants being lost at sea, including one boat with 300 that disappeared in 2011, but the bodies in such cases are never recovered.
Also today, prosecutors in Agrigento, Sicily, said they had detained a 35-year-old Tunisian man who is believed to have been the captain of the ship. The suspect faces charges of aiding illegal immigration and multiple counts of homicide.
Tens of thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East try to cross the Mediterranean Sea each year, seeking a better life in Europe. Hundreds die in the process.

I think 'yes' to all except ' The Dreamer' . I think it is a real waste of a good name.
Thread: some rhetorical questions |
If Encre Noir were in a white bottle and named "Green Forest", would it still be really dark?
If Burberry London was in a black bottle, would it still be "fall in a bottle"?
If La Nuit de L'Homme was in yellow bottle and named "day of the man" instead, would it be a night scent?
If the Dreamer were named Versace Pour Homme II, would it still be a dreamy trance scent?
If 1 Million and Le Male were in clear glass bottles, sold at Neiman Marcus only, and named "Paco Rabanne Gentleman" or "Gaultier's Specialty" would they still be trashy club scents?
I think 'yes' to all except ' The Dreamer' . I think it is a real waste of a good name.
I would also say "yes" to all except the one about "Dreamer" as the fragrance IMO isn't worthy of consideration.
Encre Noire would be called Winter Forest.
-Dunno, I don't disagree with those seeing this as not terribly dark.
-Dunno, I kinda thought it was Christmas in a bottle.
-Dunno that one.
-Dunno if I would ever agree that it's a 'dreamy trance scent', rather insufferable wet-dog open that lasts way long.
-Yes, definitely!
Oh, I'm sorry... those were rhetorical! Nevermind then.
If a Metallica album came in a pink, flowery sleeve would it still contain old men's heavy rock?
it's easy to answer these questions in hindsight of course.
but i bet if you were to ask 50 basenoters and 50 non-basnoters what you think of these fragrances, i bet the non-basenoters description would be much different, as basenoters were spoiled with receiving knowledge of a fragrance beforehand and that affects their outcome.
it's similar to how iq tests with (spatial reasoning and logical sequitirs) aren't objective universal truth. they are peices of domain knowledge to be studied.
Not following.
But I once met a farmer on a beach in Jamaica who shared these words of wisdom:
Jus' wut is it wit da name, man?
Dat which we all say is da rose,
By any uda name mos def'nitely smells da same sweet.
I don't know why everyone is responding to this thread. They're all rhetorical questions!!
You could do a survey in an art museum and ask people to look at a painting and have them describe what they see. The people who are art collectors will tell you something totally different from the person off the street that says "It looks like a dog."
People will listen and believe other people most of the time if they think they know what they're talking about. I try not to deal in absolutes. Probably 99% percent of most fragrances smell "good" anyway, but from there it's really how good. Then you have the "it smells just like fragrance XXX XXX" , or people give negative reviews because "it smells good, but" they don't think it's bottle worth which is even more subjective, and then you have the "professional" reviewers that make fragrances sound like it's playing a song, others just like it because it either smells good or bad (the typical non-basenoter) which really doesn't help. What I think separates fragrance lover's from normal noses is that out of all the thousands of fragrances on the market, we have the ability and knowledge base to fine tune what we like and find the needle (masterpiece for ourselves) in the haystack (the fragrance market).

No. I don't find it particularly dark at all. It's an excellent vetiver, but not very dark.
Yes. It smells like Christmas.
Yes. Most guys in the real world (meaning, not guys in the fragrance community. I'm talking about the masses) don't realize Nuit means night. Nuit is just like any other foreign word to them. A friend of mine thought Nuit meant Nut, as in, he expected it to smell nutty. I suspect most guys don't intentionally buy La Nuit for nights. They buy it for wearing on a date, which means they end up wearing it mostly at night.
Yes. I never thought of it as a dreamy/trance scent, to be honest.
I didn't realize Le Male was considered a trashy club scent.
As for 1 Million, I say yes. Absolutely yes. Consider CK One Shock. Poorly named, with a horrrrrrible bottle, yet well regarded here. The issue with 1 Million is the juice. Granted, the tacky bottle doesn't help, but the scent itself is very sweet and very loud. And, for Paco Rabanne, it is brilliant. Brilliant? Yes, brilliant. It's Paco Rabanne's way of getting young customers into their lineup. If I worked at Bvlgari, I'd do the same thing: create something hyper sweet and LOUD, and I'd put it in a bottle that speaks to upper teens and early 20s. A flask perhaps. Oh, wait. Gucci did exactly that with Guilty, and it turned into a monster hit.
I'll add one to this list: Would basenoters realize Bleu de Chanel isn't aquatic if it were named Chanel Blaq? LOL!

Recurring blister on my gum06/30/2006 |
I have what looks like a blister on my upper gum. I`ve had it once before and it disappeared completely. I had it about 3 months ago and it stayed for about 1 week or so. I even went to my dentist since that for a cleaning and she did not notice anything, although I did not mention it to her either. Anyways, the blister has returned. It starts off as white in color, very soft and almost squishy. Then at one point a red point appears as if its going to pop. It has blead at one point (I think from my poking at it) and now it is just red and still soft. It does not hurt at all. I wouldn`t even know it was there unless I lifted my lip to take a look at it. What could it be? Do I need to be overly concerned?
Blisters on gums may be due to several reasons:
- virutic infection (recurs when the immune system is down). Heals within 10 days.
- abscesses originating from either root canal and/or gums. It generally starts with pain and pain is reduced if it is draining.
- trauma to gums.
You should visit a dentist to figure out why you are getting the blister.

And booted.
These domestic scenes,
Could erase one's attraction
For enchantment with one devoted
To a life of commitment and love!
It seems too easy to be beaten,
By the one first sweet...
Then spoiled by a left hook,
After ducking!
In attempts to work things out...
Sparring in boxing bouts!
Or sit to drink at a local bar,
Of being misunderstood.
To find one alone...
Stooped in a stupor!
Or mangled behind a hood of a car!
And it is said,
Times have changed!
People are more deranged and convinced...
A knock out punch solves their dilemmas!
If we developed our skills
To listen without barking,
And park out reactions!
A walk down the aisle
Will keep trials and juries,
Out of the minds of those who are not sitting,
With crossed fingers...
At the reception!
For those who are truly matched,
For the sounds of wedding bells...
And not for the slam,
Of awaiting prison cells!
'I do!
And God...
Let us communicate,
For the sake of our united love! '

Lilly Collins (daughter of Phil), who plays the fairest of them all, exclaims,"I keep saying to everyone I feel like I'm walking into a snow globe, a fairy tale, every single day… It's so epic. I was part of a costume ball today, so you can only imagine the outfits." (This project is not to be confused with the other Snow White film starring Kristen Stewart. That should be… interesting.)AdvertisementThe king, Snow White's father, will be played by Sean Bean, aka Ned Stark from Game Of Thrones. The Social Network's Armie Hammer plays the prince; Julia Roberts plays the evil queen. Collins tells Entertainment Weekly that the fairytale will stay true to its fantastical roots, but has been updated slightly: "[Snow White is] very much that fairy tale princess we've all read about in books. [But] she's been modernized in a way that she becomes a fighter in the end."

Sigma Paris Palette: Info & Swatches
6:00 AMInside you can see the large mirror, 8 eyeshadows, 2 blushes, highlighter, and 2 brushes included in the palette. This is quite a large palette and there is thickness to it which is unfortunate, but it accommodates the width of the brushes included.
Here's a better look at everything included. It's amazing how all the shades work together even though we each came up with our shades independently.
Lots of eye candy close ups and swatches after the jump!
Eiffel / Seine / Louvre / Orsay / Elysées / Notre Dame / Triomphe / Versailles
Eiffel - Matte black with rainbow sparkles. Developed by Tiffany aka MakeupbyTiffanyD.
Seine - Satin navy blue. Developed collaboratively by all gurus.
Louve - Matte saturated teal. Developed by Josh aka Petrilude.
Orsay - Matte meduim green with gold flecks. Developed by Suzy aka MacNC40.
Elysées - Satin plummy brown. Developed by Dulce aka DulceCandy87.
Notre Dame - Metallic taupe. Developed by Christine aka xteeener.
Triomphe - Reddened brown with green duochrome. Developed by Jen aka frmheadtotoe (that's me!).
Versailles - White-gold with gold flecks. Developed by Leesha aka xsparkage.
The two blushes were a very, very collaborative effort to create 2 shades that would work with every skintone. There is a plummy shade and a peachy shade as well as a gorgeous highlighter which is one of my favorite parts of the entire palette.
The Sigma Paris Palette is available now from Sigma Beauty here for $59, but with code FRMHEADTOTOE you can receive $10 off making the palette $49. The two brushes included are the same quality as their full-sized professional brushes and are worth $23.
I already plan on posting a future tutorial using the palette as well as sharing more info about the inspiration for my color, which will be coming soon. I'm super excited to share this with you since it's kind of our baby and we have been working on in secret for so long! I hope you guys check out this limited edition palette while they last! :)

love the colors and the packaging!!
christanath's beauty blogLoving this palatte!!
I def want to get it, but i have so many eye shadows! DO you have any coupon codes for sigma for me if i want to get a brush set? is there one you recommend?
www.coasttocoastchic.comFrom the time I saw this, I thougth it was a beautiful palette! I was wondering why you all had went to Paris, very sneaky of them, but I love the outcome! I'd have to say if I were to pick my four favourites, it'd have to be Eiffel, Seine, Triomphe, Versailles. They're really nice, especially the last two. I could see myself wearing Triomphe all over my lid and Versailles for a bright highlight.
It is amazing how well all the colours came together, thought they were developed individually. You all did a great job! Congrats!
xoxoThis is so gorgeous, Jen! I love all the shades and the packaging you guys came up with. Must have been such a great experience :)
xo, alison*elleOMG love all of the colors! All of you did an amazing job! I really love your color, Jen. I feel like it's similar to the Rock & Republic shade...I think it was called snakebite or something like that. Anyways, LOVE LOVE LOVE! I would totally buy it if I had the money. I know this palette is Limited Edition, but is it possible to do a giveaway for this palette??
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collaboration. The colors are so fabulous! You guys did a really great job on it. I actually just found your blog, it's so great!
Suzie Q
www.StyleCueBySuzieQ.comHaha! I was looking at the palette on Sigma website & knew the duochrome shade would be yours! I've been a little obsessed with duochrome shadows since your W&W Night Elf tutorial, but haven't gotten round to purchasing W&W Comfort Zone yet. It's hard to get in Aus!
Nice work on the palette, it's lovely :)Heyyy Jen! I don't usually comment here but I've been following your blog for almost 3 yrs I guess. I'm from India and the review of your Sigma Paris Pallet was done on one of the best makeup sites of India.
I was just sooo happy! Like "Oooooh I read her blog!! Jen's my fav!" Here's the link: http://makeupandbeauty.com/sigma-limited-edition-paris-palette/
P.S.- I loooved it personally. I love your style in general. It's very much like my personal taste.Well, I have ordered this palette together with some brushes based on your reviews. They arrived today to Hong Kong and I was so excited to see the products. Unfortunately, the two brushes from the palette were missing. I know you might say it is a good value, but it left me slightly underwhelmed. Sorry, I am spoilt for years of using top Japanese brands. The palette is made in China and only assembled in the US. The package has a weird factory smell.

Starring Bobbi Billard, Akira Lane, Shastina Eloff, Gelusa Zaripova
"Vicky, what are you doing working here?"
"I'm saving. I want to get double Ds."
Way back in 1997, screenwriter Derek Zemrak and a couple of his pals bought a camcorder, liquored up Ed Wood cohort Conrad Brooks, and made an hour-long Z-flick about a guy who owns a sexy ice cream shop and the box-headed killer that ruins his day. It was called Ice Scream, and it really did exist, if the VHS repro on IMDB is any evidence. Unfortunately, it did not make a huge splash on the world of underground film. And then? Who knows what happened. Time flew. Zemrak, sensing that perhaps the world had finally caught up with his singular vision of eyeball-ridden ice cream cones, remade (or, as they like to call it, 'remixed') Ice Scream with a (very slightly) bigger budget, more tits, and no Conrad Brooks to speak of. Further confusing matters, the 2008-lensed film has been released under two different titles: depending on where you pick up your copy, it may also be called Hot Blood Sundae. Apparently, that version is slightly different. Dunno how. If you do, fill me in. This is what awaits you in the Remix, at any rate.
Ricky (veteran soap actor Richard Van Vleet) owns a failing ice cream shop staffed by Wes (Ryan Click, who seems to be channeling Jim Carrey's fire marshall Bill character, for some reason), a semi-retarded kid with a too-long neck, and a quartet of teenage cuties in candy striper outfits led by busty blonde Vicki (Bobbi Billard). One day he comes up with an idea to save the store - he renames it Scoopettes, and gets his employees to wear tiny t-shirts and mini-skirts. A solid plan, and before you know it, rubes are lining up to buy scoops full of "Oral orange" and Virgin vanilla" ice cream from his scantily-clad servers.
Things go pretty swimmingly until one night when Paula (Shastina Eloff), on her way to take out the trash, wanders into a dimly lit room to find body parts and blood strewn everywhere. She's attacked by an unseen assailant who drags her across the floor and then strangles her to death with a plastic bag. So that's the end of Paula.
Mindy (Akira Lane) and Desiree (Russian-born Gelusa Zaripova, whose accent is as awesome as her name) discover her in the freezer the next day. They assume she killed herself because she didn't like the skimpy outfits. This would not explain why she was wrapped in plastic, but these are not the brightest bulbs in the novelty ice cream business.
A portly fellow in what looks like a UPS outfit and a girl dressed in lingerie and wearing a cop hat show up to investigate. Sexy policewoman wheels the frozen-stiff Paula out on a hand-dolly while the UPS guy/detective grills/comforts Desiree. And then everybody splits.
Jodi (Nova Conner) is the last one to leave for the night, so she takes a shower in the back room, because that's naturally what you'd do. However, before she can even get her bra and panties off, she's axe-murdered by a dude with a festive box/upside-down ice cream bucket on his head.
Despite that two of their own have been murdered on the premises, the remaining Scoopettes return to work, undaunted. In fact, they wear even less clothes than before, preferring string bikinis. The deaths have done nothing to dampen their sense of fun and frolic either, so they spend a good five or so minutes stripping topless and slathering each other with whipped cream.
Comic antics ensue when a gay guy shows up asking for "Penis pistachio" and then a midget tries to barge in, but playtime is over when the girls discover a human eyeball in the "Cherry Forever" ice cream.
The cops show up again and they discover Jodi in the dumpster, so that pretty much ruins the evening.
The next day, our surviving Scoopettes float around topless in a pool, which is awesomely gratuitous. Wes drops by and the girls tease him until he freaks out and bails. Later on, Mindy shows up for work and gets summarily executed by Boxhead in a jarringly Saw-esque scene shot in stark gray and crimson.
The standard slasher movie finale ensues, as the cops battle the Boxhead killer while Vicki and Desiree alternately cower and go about their daily business of posing in bikinis and suggestively licking ice cream. It ends, as you would expect from an ice-cream themed movie to do, with a twist, albeit a fairly obvious one.
Oh, and there's an end-credits booty-shaking sequence that's pretty much worth the price of admission.
Clip: Playboy's The Girls of McDonalds promo
Director Darbonne has worked mostly as a cinematographer for National Lampoon garbage like Adam and Eve (2005) and low-level Playboy TV segments ("The Girls of McDonalds"!). This becomes pretty obvious whenever he launches into yet another bout of whipped cream smearing or lite-lesbo titty-rubs. He also seems intent on directing a dark and very bloody horror flick someday, as Ice Scream is a fairly grisly affair, especially for the consistently light tone the girls keep in the shop. While the kill scenes are not necessarily at odds with the rest of the film, they do seem less jokey than they ought to, and if you wanted, you could edit out an effectively nightmarish stalk n' slash reel from the more serious moments here.
Buckets of blood aside, Ice Scream is a satisfying bit of no-budget fluff anchored by the Russ Meyer-esque charms of final girl Billard. Prior to her role here, the Texan-born beauty starred as 'Summer' on the syndicated Women of Wrestling TV series in 2000, and is a well-known internet model, with over a million Myspace friends. That's a lot of buds. Imagine what her Christmas card list is like.
Anyway, you have either already seen a lot of her, or you will in the future. Like Mary Carey, she has real B-queen potential.

After release, its developers and publisher split up, leaving the series in creative limbo. Advertisement Codemasters, the company publishing the game, retained the rights to it, and has gone on to release several new titles in the series.Yet it was Bohemia Interactive who pioneered the idea and developed the first game. This is why they went off and made the ArmA series, which are basically Operation Flashpoint games without the name. Confusing for consumers, annoying for Bohemia. Advertisement That sad tale has a happy ending today, though, as the Czech developers revealed that the original 2001 game, Operation Flashpoint, has been "discontinued". In its place, they've regained the rights to release the game (if not use the Flashpoint name), and are bringing it back into the ArmA family where it belongs, renaming it Arma: Cold War Assault.There's no major changes or updates or anything like that going on. They're just welcoming the prodigal son home! ARMA: COLD WAR ASSAULT ANNOUNCED [BI]Reply60 repliesLeave a reply

Editors' Review
+Flick Home Run is an arcade home-run-hitting game that only requires a flick of your finger to send the ball over the fence, but it definitely takes practice. Unlike 3D home run games like Home Run Battle, in Flick Home Run you have a 2D view of the playing field, with pitches coming from the right and you timing your flick to send the ball as far as you can. The game instructs you to touch a Pitch button in the lower left corner, and when the ball comes into play, your job is flick the ball at just the right angle to send it on its way.
The basic game mechanic is easy to learn, but difficult to master, as there are other arcade elements in Flick Home Run as well. Beyond trying to get the perfect angle for a hit, you'll also have different colored cartoonish heads (baseballs) that all behave differently. One acts as a fastball and another tests your timing with a changeup. As you progress, there are other baseballs that do even more outlandish dips and curves. The key is identifying the ball type and adjusting your swing accordingly. The game gives you some help here with a button that lets you know what kind of ball is coming, but you can only use it three times per game. All of this amounts to plenty of variation in gameplay and a lot of different pitches to master.
Flick Home Run has several unlockable levels that you can open by completing challenges and hitting efficiently. A meter slowly goes down with each missed hit, while big hits will bring the meter back up. If the meter goes all the way down your game is over. This mechanic adds to the fun because you'll find yourself trying to get big hits just to stay in the game.
A recent update to Flick Home Run brings several new game modes to breath new life into this already great game. A new bunt mode challenges you to land a ball on a target perfectly for the most points. Faster and Faster mode slowly increases speed to see how far you can get.

Uncommon God, Common Good
On the Dearborn Drama: Pig-Headed Engagement of Islam
By John W. Morehead and Paul Louis Metzger
This piece was originally published at Aslan Media's site on Monday, June 25th, 2012.
At a recent festival held annually by Dearborn's Muslim community, it was reported that a group of Christian missionaries disrupted the event as they engaged in responses that challenged deeply valued Islamic ideals. This included holding up signs that attacked Islam's prophet Muhammad, shouting at Muslims participating in the festival, and hoisting a pig's head on a pole, an animal considered unclean by Muslims (See "Christian missionary group with pig's head taunt Arab-Americans at Dearborn festival," Niraj Warikoo, June 15, Detroit Free Press). Less tense forms of engagement also reportedly took place, such as the sharing of evangelistic literature outside the largest mosque in Michigan.
Surveys indicate that the American public has conflicted views of Islam, with 53% having a positive view, but with many believing it is more likely to foster violence than other religions. In some quarters various communities oppose the building of mosques, while others support the possibility. Moving from the American public in general to Protestant Evangelicals (the likely Christian missionary representatives at the festival), the view is more negative. The Pew Forum indicates that Evangelicals have a largely negative view of Islam with only 24% expressing a favorable one. In light of these statistics, the type of clash seen at the festival will likely continue in the future.
Is engaging others in this manner the best way to express one's faith community's convictions? Who's listening? And if they are listening, isn't the result often more turmoil and more fighting? How ironic it is that those who are concerned most about Muslim acts that disregard human life are also reportedly perpetrating demeaning acts themselves.
A better way exists wherein those of differing religious traditions can express their very real disagreements, and seek to persuade others of the truthfulness of their tradition, but do so in ways that are both civil and do not involve compromise of convictions. We work with the Foundation for Religious Diplomacy, a non-profit organization with chapters representing various religious traditions. We are involved in the Evangelical Christian chapter, but there are chapters for Sunni and Shiite Muslims, too. We are not likely to persuade those Christians who protested at the Dearborn festival to join us, but we do invite Christians and Muslims in Dearborn to join us at FRD in civil exchanges.
In times past in the Christian community it was fashionable to ask oneself, "What would Jesus do?" This is still an important question, and in the context of religious diversity we connect it to the model of engagement exemplified by Jesus. What would Jesus do if he encountered Muslims?
Although the New Testament records his forceful clashes with leaders in his own religious community, by contrast, his encounters with other religions were very different. Jesus wasn't pig-headed. Jesus' encounters with Gentiles and Samaritans demonstrate that he broke with the negative assumptions, attitudes, and practices of his religious community concerning those in other religions. His engagement involved an awareness of the religions and cultures of his dialogue partners, and Jesus also exhibited respect rather than denunciation. Finally, in the example of Jesus, we see dialogue that involved listening as well as evangelistic proclamation. If we Christians are to have the mind of Christ and not be pig-headed, then we must emulate the model of Jesus for the church as we engage those in other religions.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Newbie questions...
Newbie questions... Hi everybody, my first post here, so first of all, I wanted to introduce myself. I decided to get an aquarium few weeks ago, and after many days of research, etc., settled on a 29 gallon, Penguin 200 filter, 200 Watt heater (not top fin, but forgot what brand), one decoration, and about 10 plastic plants, with small gravel. After having the tank running without fish for a week or so, last Thursday I added 5 platies - three Mickey Mouse and two red something... Anyway, I have 3 questions: 1. My kitchen sink is close enough that I could use a hose to do the water changes. However, how do I regulate the temperature? I've read that using hot water from the faucet is bad because there is a lot of crap in the hot water heater. But using just cold water seems way too cold. So, what is the accepted solution? 2. My water got a little milky in the tank without fish. I changed the water completely, then let the new water sit 2 days before introducing the platies. Well, it got cloudy again. I did two 15% water changes since Thursday, and the water did get a little better, but does anybody have any idea why would the water get cloudy without fish or plants? Thanks! |
Hi, and welcome to the forum :) To regulate the temperature if you are not comfortable with mixing hot water from the tap, then you can boil the kettle and mix hot and cold water in a bucket prior to adding to the tank. You said that you have gravel in the tank. Did you rinse it thoroughly before putting in the tank, because if not, this would cause cloudy water for a while. Oh - and I assume you are cycling the tank with the platys, do you have a test kit to monitor the readings, and are you adding water conditioner to the water when doing water changes? |
Thanks for a quick response! 1. I have been using the bucket method, just wanted to get a general consensus on using a mix of hot-and-cold water from the faucet, because it sure is easier! I rinsed everything before putting it in the tank. Used a big grate under running water for the gravel. You are right, I am using platys to cycle the tank, and got all the test strips, doing regular readings. As far as water conditioner, all I do is add a chlorine remover. |
Clouding can be normal for new tanks depending on your tap water parameters. If you can, switch to a liquid test kit and ditch the test strips. Saves money and they are much more accurate than strips. What kind of filter are you using, this may be the reaosn for the clouding. If it is an undergravel then you may need more gravel in the tank or smaller gravel to trap more particles. If it is a HOB filter then it could be just the cycle period. Tell us what kind so we can help to figure it. Welcome and please don't be afraid to ask any questions. There is no dumb question except the one you wait to ask after your tank or fish show problems. |

Infinite Monkeys App Builder – AppNation 2011
December 1, 2011 - San Francisco, CA, - At the AppNation conference in San Francisco, Infinite Monkeys was showing their free to create app builder platform. The product is complete "wizard" based workflow that allows someone to create an HTML5 or Android App for smartphones & tablets free and with no programming knowledge. The site also can create an iPhone application, but there is a listing fee and acceptance criteria process for having the app appear on iTunes. The primary goal is to allow small businesses and organization to get an app that will track their social network and web based activities as a supplement to their existing web presence.
The free version of the app is supported by Google Ads, there is a paid version with no ads that is also available. As most SMBs and social organizations (youth sports teams, school groups, starting musical groups, etc) basically need a one-up app that will link to their currently maintained site, the Infinite Monkey workflow can create this product in minutes.
The drag and drop flow support user generated background graphics for personalization and has a large variety of built-in forms for inclusion of links for items such as RSS feeds for news and blogs, social network and shopping links, and other content modules. The next step after the content links that are bound to the predefined icons, is the selection of a skinnable GUI for the app. The flow works by having the forms based front end fill an SQL database. The database is then queried by the tool to autobuild the app and make it a completed wrapped code block.
At this time the tool is designed for entry level and SMB app developers who are not coding as thier primary job function. The flow however can be used by advanced users to incorporate CSS, HTML code and plug-ins. In the future, the code builder will have aspects that will allow integration into traditional revision control and code release flows for the advanced user. This interface will be in the form of an API.
In a test flow for the tool, we were able to create an Android and HTML5 app in under 10 minutes including the upload times for custom graphics and testing the code block. For both the Google and iTunes app marketplace, the ability to post the app for general searchability is up to the discretion and selection from those groups that the content of the app and its function meets the standards and guidelines for their download portal. This has more to do with the content and subject of the site and blogs being linked with the app than the technical compatibility of the code itself.
The apps created are located at an Infinite Monkey's site which are easily found with a directed QR code for the free apps. This is a good option for schools and youth sports programs with limited funds. For a one time $49 fee, the app can be placed on external sites (such as iTunes) which increases the discoverablity of the code. For a one time $499 fee, the app is both highly discoverable, has no ads, and are published under your name. The free version is for open communites only, where the two paid options support closed communities with password access. The tool is available now and works in the cloud, so the only tool needed is a browser.

Here is the typical career trajectory for hot young indie filmmakers: Make a low-budget gem; premiere at Sundance; have a new script ready to go; lure financiers and stars for subsequent project; repeat.
But every once in a while, a rare American filmmaker comes along and eschews that traditional course, detouring into the worlds of documentary. For example, after his critically acclaimed dramas "Mean Streets" and "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," Martin Scorsese made his intimate family documentary "Italianamerican." Similarly, Jonathan Demme broke into the ranks of Hollywood with "Melvin and Howard" and "Swing Shift," but then pivoted to make his seminal Talking Heads concert film "Stop Making Sense." More recently, filmmakers like Robinson Devor ("The Woman Chaser," "Zoo") and Asif Kapadia ("The Warriors," "Senna") have also followed their respected dramatic films with nonfiction features.
Nowadays, as the divisions between fiction and nonfiction become more porous, and the stigma of making documentaries increasingly lifts, narrative directors dipping into docs may become more common. As David Wilson, co-director of the True/False Film Festival said in a recent conversation, "[Filmmakers are] taking advantage of whatever strategies will best convey their story. The exciting thing is that it's not a 'transition to docs' or vice versa — it's a malleability that hopefully allows filmmakers increased freedom of movement."
It also allows writer-directors to keep their creative brains churning while they navigate the slower moving cogs of bigger-budget narrative filmmaking.
The most prominent recent example of the trend is Debra Granik, who's followed her impressive narrative films, "Down to the Bone" and Oscar nominee "Winter's Bone," with "Stray Dog," an intimate portrait of a Vietnam veteran biker, which premiered last week at the Los Angeles Film Festival.
Granik had been working on getting several narrative projects off the ground, including an adaptation of Russell Banks' "Rule of the Bone," a TV pilot called "American High Life" and a Baltimore-set feature inspired by Eugene Jarecki's prison system expose "The House I Live In." But for various reasons— from complications in script development to corporate cold feet — Granik temporarily left those projects behind.
"Meanwhile, what did I have on the stove, actually burbling?" she said recently. "This longitudinal portrait that I had become attracted to after 'Winter's Bone.'"
Granik had met Ron Hall, the 67-year-old Harley-riding gun-toting sensitive soul at the center of "Stray Dog," while scouting "Winter's Bone" in Missouri. "He was a very giving person, and we asked him a slew of questions and a slew of observations hit me hard," she said. "And Ron was someone who was like, 'If you're not about judging me, I'm willing to sit down and talk to you.'"
Granik became enamored not only of Ron's openness and vulnerabilities as an ex-soldier suffering from PTSD, but also the cinematic details that surround his life: from his quartet of little dogs rolling over his belly to the image of motorcycles speeding down the highway. "The stuff I was being thrown is like the film goddess hurling delicious things at me," she said.
The process of editing down 230 hours of footage to make "Stray Dog" was also significantly different from her narrative work. "It was like being an archivist," she said. "But it was such a joy being back in the editing room. It keeps me alive as a filmmaker."
While Granik begins all of her fiction work with "documentary reconnaissance," as she calls it, "observing real life circumstances and seeing which of those real life circumstances can end up in the film," the documentary reality she captured in "Stray Dog" never failed to surprise and delight her. "There were moments of tenderness that I could never script, and I like the way images can say things that words can't," she said. "It's the beauty and exquisite detail of life taking over."
"Narrative," she added, "can be a nuance-crusher."
But that doesn't mean she's abandoning it for good. "I am not going to throw narrative under the bus," Granik said, and expressed a hope to stay "ambidextrous" between narratives and nonfiction in her career. "I'm just saying documentary moments can be this and that, but in narrative, you often have to choose either or."
Achieving that sense of realism and ambiguity isn't unique to Granik's endeavors, of course. As Martin Scorsese said in a 2007 interview, "That's what I've often tried to get at — that kind of raw, unforced feeling when the actors lose the sense of artifice and the barriers between fiction and reality break down."

New podcast: I for one welcome our digital overlords
On my latest podcast, I talk to Charles Ofria, a computer scientist who helped build Avida, one of the most intriguing examples of artificial life around. I wrote about Avida when it first hit the news back in 2005 in this cover story for Discover. Five years on, I caught up with Ofria for the podcast. I learned that the Avidians are evolving to be cleverer and cleverer–clever enough, in fact, to control robots. When they show up in my town, I plan on waving the magazine cover so they'll spare me. Check it out.

Finally, I am sick of making my own decisions.
So, when does Avida change its name to Skynet and start building Terminators?

Casey Kasem's Daughter to File Missing Persons Report for Father
Casey Kasem's daughter Kerri Kasem plans to file a missing persons report because she says her father has vanished while apparently under the care of her stepmother, PEOPLE reports.
A representative for Kerri Kasem told PEOPLE that Kerri has not seen her father since she visited him in a care facility on May 7.
A judge ordered an investigation into Kasem's whereabouts Monday after his wife's attorney said he had "no idea" where Kasem is.
Kasem, 82, has Parkinson's disease and his wife Jean Kasem had been in charge of his healthcare. On Monday, Kerri Kasem and was appointed her father's temporary caretaker.
The AP reports:
In a court filing last week, Kerri Kasem's attorneys wrote that the entertainer has been repeatedly moved without warning and his children have been unable to see him. The complaint accused Jean Kasem of elder abuse by isolating her husband from his family.
This led to the judge ordering an investigation into Kasem's whereabouts after both parties revealed they did not know where Casey Kasem was.
This latest investigation is part of an ongoing dispute between Casey Kasem's children and their stepmother over access to their ailing father.
At the hearing, Jean Kasem's attorney Craig Marcus said the former radio and TV host had likely been removed from the country but didn't know his whereabouts. Kerri Kasem's attorney, Troy Martin, said the family believes the TV host has been taken to an Indian reservation in Washington state.

Lifestyle - Perfect Circulation By Janet Headrick
We know that the life of the flesh is in the blood. Leviticus 17:11. In order to have good health, we must have good blood; for the blood is the current of life. It repairs waste and nourishes the body. When supplied with the proper food elements and when cleansed and vitalized by contact with pure air, it carries life and vigor to every part of the system. The more perfect the circulation, the better will this work be accomplished. The Ministry of Healing, 271. Because of this, we must do everything possible to produce good blood and not do anything that will hinder circulation.
Hindrances to Healthy Circulation:
· Excess fat in the diet and therefore in the blood causes the blood cells to become sticky and clump together. This interferes with the ability of the red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body and encourages them to block blood vessels, especially small vessels and capillaries that are the most affected. See Healthful Living, 67.
· Sugar also thickens the blood, clogs the system, and hinders oxygen levels. See Testimonies, vol. 2, 369, 370.
· Overeating puts a very heavy load on the stomach, robs the body of oxygen in order that the heavy load can be digested, and then further comprises oxygen levels as the heavy load of digested food enters the blood circulation. See Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 51.
· A sedentary life lessens circulation, endangering abundant health. Exercise and fresh air both stimulate the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, bringing much needed oxygen, nutrition and life to every cell in the body. See Testimonies, vol. 1, 562.
· Poorly clad extremities interfere with good circulation. Perfect health depends upon perfect circulation. When the extremities, which are remote from the vital organs, are not properly clad, the blood is driven to the head, causing headache or nosebleed; or there is a sense of fullness about the chest. Testimonies, vol. 2, 531.
· Lack of trust in God and a sense of freedom from wrong. If the mind is free and happy, under a consciousness of rightdoing and a sense of satisfaction in causing happiness to others, it will create a cheerfulness that will react upon the whole system, causing a freer circulation of the blood and a toning up of the entire body. The blessing of God is a healer, and those who are abundant in benefiting others will realize that wondrous blessing in their hearts and lives. Testimonies, vol. 4, 60, 61.
· Anything that hinders full, pure respiration hinders circulation. This could range from lack of deep breathing, poor posture, tight clothing, inhibition or damage to the lungs from smoking, air pollution, un-hygienic surroundings, or poor ventilation in buildings. See Child Guidance, 363, 364, 425; Healthful Living, 171173.
Thus an insufficient supply of oxygen is received. The blood moves sluggishly. The waste, poisonous matter, which should be thrown off in the exhalations from the lungs, is retained, and the blood becomes impure. Not only the lungs, but the stomach, liver, and brain are affected. The skin becomes sallow, digestion is retarded; the heart is depressed; the brain is clouded; the thoughts are confused; gloom settles upon the spirits; the whole system becomes depressed and inactive, and peculiarly susceptible to disease. The Ministry of Healing, 273. In order to have health, we must work with our bodies to provide, not hinder, perfect circulation.

Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.

Sandstone geomorphology of the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa, in a global context
Published: 11 March 2011
Conservation implications: The GGHNP is best known for its geological, geomorphological and palaeontological heritage. This paper highlights the diversity of sandstone geomorphological phenomena, many of them rare and 'unique' to the region. Not only are these landforms of aesthetic interest to tourists, but they also provide microhabitats for biota. Thus, conservation of biota requires associated conservation of geo-environments where they are established.
