Devil's Rejects: Special Edition, The (UK - DVD R2)
Rob Zombie returns with the seering sequel to House of 1000 Corpses...
Back in the year 2000, industrial-metal icon Rob Zombie set out to make his first feature film, a '70s horror throwback entitled House of 1000 Corpses. Three years and a zillion MPAA cuts later, the film finally saw the light of day. Those three years were enough time to build quite a reputation for the film, and horror geeks around the world frothed at the chance to finally see it. Unfortunately, the film was not quite worthy of the attention it garnered and in the end was mostly just another Texas Chainsaw Massacre riff, featuring two dimensional characters, an over abundance of cheesy video popcorn and editing techniques, awkward dialogue, and, worst of all, very few genuine scares.
The film was not a total failure, and after it pulled in a few million dollars, Zombie was rightfully given a second chance to hone his abilities on the sequel, The Devil's Rejects. Distributors saw promise in Zombie's manic experimentation, and their gamble paid off…sort of.
The Devil's Rejects picks up, presumably, right where the last film left off, with the Firefly family doing bad things. Mr. Bluebird is on their shoulders, and zippidy-do-da, everything seems to be going their way. That is until the cops come blasting at the door, lead by vengeance-gripped hayseed Sheriff Wydell (William Forsythe), brother to Firefly victim Lieutenant Wydell. The ensuing shoot out leaves most of the murderous family dead and Mother Firefly arrested. Only malevolent ménage Otis (Bill Moseley) and Baby (Sherri Moon Zombie) escape, and take to the road.
After contacting House of Horrors/fried chicken entrepreneur Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig)—now revealed to be Daddy Firefly—the demented descendents start torturing, raping and murdering their way to freedom, which is located around Uncle Charlie Altamont's (Ken Foree) whorehouse. But the psychotic Sheriff is not far behind, and he will not accept failure as an option. He tracks them obsessively, trying to anticipate their next move and doing anything and everything to see them dead.
The Devil's Rejects is a very accomplished work of cinematic art. Zombie seems to have found his creative voice, and it is every bit as loud and abrasive as the one he uses to sing. I could tell by the opening credits that this film was going to be everything House of 1000 Corpses was not. This time the style was met with substance, and though Zombie utilizes some pretty overtly stylized video and editing techniques, they feel at home with the rest of the film. The clumsy multi-colour fades and wipes have been replaces with dexterous still frames, multi-panelling, and zooms. Yes, he is emulating, but he does it with a definitive personal slant. If House of 1000 Corpses was his psychedelic take on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then The Devil's Rejects is his near-documentary take on The Hills Have Eyes, which is, of course, being remade as I write.
The one thing House of 1000 Corpses got right was its nightmarish tone. Like the best Italian Splatter flicks it was unnervingly hallucinatory. Despite this single doubtless success, Zombie has opted for a hyper-realistic tone in the sequel, a brave move that makes the film work better as a stand-alone work. This hyperrealism puts the two films into a fascinating contrast, making the original suddenly seem more valid in the bigger picture. The '70s cinema-verite resurgence in horror films has, in my opinion, made the genre significant again, after years of the post-post-modern, wink-and-nudge fests, and Asian inspired, scary-girl fests that followed in the wake of the last two artistically significant additions, Wes Craven's Scream, and Hideo Nakata's Ringu.
The acting, too, is more down to earth this time around, making the returning characters more human. It's almost as if House of 1000 Corpses was a sensationalization of an actual event, and The Devil's Rejects is the real life story, like the curtain has been pulled back and the actors revealed as the bone fide monsters they really are. The fun of being at the movies is over, and now it's time to face real life again. Bill Mosley and Sid Haig's performances are the most dramatically improved, and the movie is better for it. At times, these two hyperbolic wonders are down right subtle.
Haig plays Spaulding with an underlying sadness, creating genuine sympathy. He doesn't personally kill anyone during the course of both films, leading me to believe that though he's obviously a bad man, his violent actions are misguided attempts at being a part of his aberrant children's lives. It's not as if he actually lives with them. In contrast, Mosley's Otis is no longer a campy, not-so-threatening, preachy nutcase, instead he's become a realistic and genuinely scary murderer. Unfortunately for novice actress Sherri Moon Zombie (not to be confused with valley girl Moon Unit Zappa), these once Z-list actors are so captivating at times that she comes across as the weakest of the three leads—though her husband is sure to remedy that with plenty of butt shots. Look, there it is again.
And the rest of the cast? Forget about it! Here is the single greatest assemblage of cult movie icons I think I've ever seen, rivalling even Tarantino's Kill Bill series for both sheer quality and quantity. We've got everyone's favourite zombie-smasher Ken Foree (who's basically playing Lando Calrissian in all but name), everyone's favourite Michael Myers and Carrie White victim P.J. Soles, everyone's favourite Jason Voorhees Kane Hodder (in a stunt capacity), everyone's favourite real-life parolee Danny Trejo, and everyone's favourite mutant cannibal Michael Berryman, not to mention the leads themselves, who are B-movie legends in their own right. At the top of the heap is the enigmatic William Forsythe in a, I swear to God, Oscar worthy performance as the disturbed lawman. Seriously, he virtually electrifies the film every time he's on screen.
But it's not all candy and roses, Zombie still has some powerful weaknesses, namely the average writer's greatest foe: humour. The semi-embarrassing attempts at Alex Cox/Tarantinoesque dialogue can be cringe inducing. The plot stops time and time again so supporting characters can have lewd sexual discussions, and wax pointlessly on then current pop culture events (the film takes place in 1977). I don't understand why Zombie would sabotage the films impeccable flow for five minutes of unrelated discourse that sounds so awkward it's hard to believe that the actors weren't simply improvising against their wills. The pop culture of the times is represented finely by the soundtrack and settings, rendering the chatter moot and out of place. I suppose even I have to admit that the ice cream bit was pretty priceless though.
At about the middle of the runtime, there is a heavy-handed swipe at film critics, concerning a character that doesn't fit into the film's world in the slightest. The scene follows a semi-important plot point, which should've pushed the Sheriff's persuit into overdrive. Again, I was unnecessarily pulled out of the film for several minutes, and I resented it. The majority of the film is so well crafted and believable that these faulty moments nearly undermine the film entirely. Zombie suffers, perhaps, from being a better filmmaker than even he realizes he is.
I had another minor tiff against a certain character's demise, but am pretty sure I understand the reasoning behind Zombie's decision, and appreciate it to a degree. The oft-visited, post-Vietnam horror themes of the simultaneous futility and atrocity of revenge seems to be at play. All in all, The Devil's Rejects is the film Zombie set out to make, and even detractors should be able to appreciate that. There are enough genuine achievements here that it's become all but impossible to deny Zombie's skill. He has forever changed the way I listen to 'Freebird' in an uncannily beautiful finale. There are a great many other aspects of the film I'd like to go into, but most would constitute spoilers, so I'll keep it to myself for now.
The Devil's Rejects, like so many modern films, has a very specifically produced visual quality. It is meant to look like it was made by a documentary crew in the year 1977. The film stock was16mm and the film was shot high contrast, under harsh sun light. Some colours have been muted, others saturated. The film looks like crap, and I mean that in the most positive way.
In the end, it's almost impossible to gage the actual quality of the DVD's transfer. The best I can say is that this DVD looks as the makers intended it too. Black levels are deep enough, and there are no visual compression issues or digital artefacting. Grain is prevalent, but like I said, this is to be expected, even cheered. The Devil's Rejects isn't exactly the best film to showcase the medium's power. A few sequences appeared washed out beyond the original intent, and watching magnified video footage can hurt the eyes a bit on a high performance set, but really, I'm looking for problems where it doesn't seem there are any.
Usually, the most audibly aggressive soundtracks belong to action and concert films. The Devil's Rejects wasn't exactly either of these, but does share traits with both. Aggressive is a pretty good adjective for the entire film, and the soundtrack is no exception. This DVD comes furnished with both a DTS and a Dolby Digital track. The DTS is the slightly better of the two, but as I've said before, I'm still not convinced of its superiority as an audio option. My personal tics aside, both tracks deliver the goods. The opening shoot out is a virtual cornucopia of chaos. Bullets whiz and bang all over the room, dialogue becomes unintelligible and irrelevant. Tyler Bates' rhythmic and nightmare inducing score threatens to crush the viewer with each increasing dilapidation.
Then the sound is sucked out and replaced by The Allman Brother's "Midnight Rider". I've never heard the song sound so good, with the surround channels actually playing a role in the performance, something I find lacking in the pop music of even the best soundtracks. Zombie's musical choices are perfect, of the era and just overplayed enough to be generational anthems. They give the gritty soundtrack an excuse to shine with each emergence. The low end wasn't quite as assertive as I may have liked, but it still kicked when it needed to. Like the video transfer, the audio tracks are hard to judge at times because of their abrasive nature, but the moments of calm demand appreciation, and I am very happy with the audio on this DVD.
Rob Zombie has not only atoned for his past sins in mediocre filmmaking, but has gone out of his way to re-compensate DVD fans for House of 1000 Corpses' sub-par DVD release. Zombie lost the footage deleted from his first film and was never able to release a proper director's cut. This time he made sure to have the footage at the ready to reinstate, and in the States we got a Director's Cut DVD. You lucky UK folks ended up with the uncut version in theatres, so the movie on this DVD is technically the Director's Cut version. Lucky you.
The real meat and potatoes, or in this case guts and grime, of the set is the two plus hour-long documentary entitled 30 Days In Hell. The doc opens with a cheeky ode to the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, sombre screen text stating the plight of the film crew as if they were the victims of a horror film themselves. Well, in a way they were victims. The criminally short shoot was gruelling. The conditions were sweltering, the budget too small, and some of the actors had trouble with some of the content. The toughest sequence to shoot was the harrowing hotel attack. Members of the crew were actually crying, Moon Zombie had trouble watching, and poor Bill Mosely (who in reality is a sweet guy) was heartbroken to be involved in an onscreen sexual assault.
The doc is well edited, and rarely becomes too slow or boring. This is a great example of what goes into filming on a lower budget, when even the director has to get in there and dirty up his hands sometimes. Zombie and his crew are very open about their experiences without resorting to whining. The most fascinating aspect is the fact that so many of the key locations were spotted by chance, including an abandoned chicken farm, complete with pre-mummified chickens. In the end, this is one of the finest DVD exclusive documentaries I've ever seen, up there with Full Tilt Boogie and The Hamster Factor
Moving briefly back to the first disc, I draw you attention to the duel audio commentaries. The first track, featuring a solo Zombie, is decent, but ends up retreading pretty much all the ground already covered so thoroughly in the documentary. Zombie begins his track with a self-effacing remark about him pointing out all the mistakes we may have missed. Zombie is a bright guy, but not the most interesting to listen to for an hour and forty minutes. The tenth time he mentioned how confined his camera was due to set size, I started to get bored.
The other track features the three leads, Mosley, Haig, and Moon Zombie. I have to go on record as not being the biggest Sheri Moon Zombie fan, I want to like her, but I find her voice and her comments grating. Mosley and Haig, on the other hand, are just great, intelligent, well-spoken guys, especially Mosley, who is entirely different from his on-screen counterpart. Unfortunately they don't cover much ground that hadn't already been covered by Zombie or the doc, and there are far too many instances of dead air. It seems to me that actors aren't usually cut out for commentary tracks, and with the exceptions of Bruce Campbell and Kurt Russell, I'm unable to think of any that blew me away when stuck in front of the microphone.
The region one DVD housed all its special features except for the documentary on the first disc, making it possible for consumers purchasing the single-disc version to still get some great features. The region two DVD houses all its special features except for the commentaries on the second disc, basically screwing those who have elected to buy the single-disc version. But I digress; this two-disc version is loaded to the preverbal gills. Other than the outstanding doc, you'll find a selection of deleted scenes. Most of these were deleted for pacing issues, and equate to longer versions of kept scenes. There are some dialogue sequences featuring Baby taking a sauna with Charlie's most 'limber' lady, and Otis discussing positions and fees with Charlie's most buoyant lady, that were shortened, played out in a montage motif, and covered with music for the final film, which ended up being a good decision as the music adds weight and emotion to a sequence that should've been melancholy rather than humorous.
The most interesting deleted scene is one featuring the underground butcher of the first film, Dr. Satan, murdering nurse Rosario Dawson from his hospital deathbed. This character never did make sense, even in the context of the original film (It's never clear how he relates to the rest of the family), and did not belong in this more realistic film. I can understand how hard of a cut it was for Zombie to make, especially after seeing all the work that went into it during the making-of documentary, and the fact that Rosaria Dawson was probably the closest thing to a mainstream name that he had in his cast. The cut was needed, and it's nice to see the scene in its entirety.
There is an array of footage shot to play on various televisions throughout the film, and each short can be seen in its entirety. These include two Captain Spaulding commercials, a sexual assault video from Otis' library, a Buck Owens musical performance, and an episode of fictionalized TV talk show, The Morris Green Show. These are worthy additions to an encompassing set, but have very little replay value, with the possible exception of The Morris Green show, which plays kind of like a half-amusing Saturday Night Live sketch. The presence of underrated character actor Daniel Roebuck as Morris Green makes a pretty big difference. The only thing not included, unfortunately, is the unedited Firefly house news footage, which might have at least been nice to include for the effects crew, who put a lot of effort into all those severed heads and limbs, I'm sure.
The award for most sweet natured extra goes to the brief tribute to giant actor Matthew McGrory. The portrayer of the stereotypically ironically named Tiny died after filming ended. The featurette makes it pretty clear that he was a kind and well loved man. McGrory can be seen in a talking role in Tim Burton's Big Fish. On the funny side of the fence are some bloopers and a super-speedy stand-up comedy bit by comedian Brian Posehn, delivered while still in bullet wound-to-the-head make-up. The rest of the features are the usual amusing throw-aways like trailers, a still gallery, and some silent make-up tests.
Did you know that The Devil's Rejects is now the reigning record holder for the most F-words in motion picture history? According to Wikipedia.org there are 560 instances of the word, that's ninety more than the next closest contender, Nil By Mouth. While this may not be everyone's idea of a reason to see the film, I thought it was a nice little fact for my parting thoughts. It incubuses the films reality, and that fact that it was made with select and mature audiences in mind. If violence and moral ambiguity disturbs you, don't waste your time, but if you want to see died-in-the-wool throw back to a bygone era of sadistic and visceral cinema, look no further.

I thought the South Park movie held the top honors of the most f-words. Or maybe it was total curse words overall? I'm not really sure.

I really enjoyed this movie, the camera angles and style of filming was fantastic. I love the 70s look and feel. The acting was way way better than 1000 Corpses. Awesome to see Foree and Berryman.
"you aint plannin on f**kin these chickens are you?" I have never laughed so hard in a cinema before.

Cool - I am looking forward to getting this! By the way Gabe, does this have a long DVD menu introduction like the first one (House) does? You are treated to a number of minutes of Spalding asking you to make a selection before he starts getting angry you haven't pressed one yet....

Nice review, Gabe.
If you're looking for a commentary where an actor puts in an impressive performance, you should try the one featuring Milla Jovovich on the first Resident Evil film. She comes off as mad as a box of frogs, but she's hilarious during it.

Worst Nightmare-- Yeah, I know what you're talking about in regard to the House DVD, that Spaulding interactive menu was funny as all get out, but unfortunately there wasn't anything like that on TDR DVD(or the Region 1, at least)
That being said, I'd be interested to find out what those who didn't like this thought of HO1KC. I'd almost wager that those who disliked TDR probably arent't fans of the genre in general. I'm a longtime fan of Grindhouse, Exploitation, B-Grade and Italian horror films and just horror in general, but I felt TDR really was a throw-back to the Grindhouse/Exploitation horror films from decades past but fondly remembered. Ah, well. To each their own.

The Spaulding menus was great on House.
Actually, I did really like this one over House. Good review Gabe. Also, I don't remember too many "F" bombs.

I heard that this was one weird ass movie. I\'m not sure I want to see it because I usually dont care for these extremely gory films. I do want to see it because I love films that are throwbacks to the horror films of the 70s like THE DEVIL'S REJECTS and the F-Word Award is funny. Mabey a rental...

Great review and I absolutely loved this movie. Its way better then House of 1000 Corpses which I hated it had some really bad acting and the characters were weak. Thats what I liked about Devils Rejects was it had a much better cast and the film had more going on, found House of 1000 Corpses boring. Also loved the music they used.
So, no ones going to ask me why Charlie=Lando? I had an explination all prepared, too.
Matt Contributor Join Date: October 2004 Location: United States Posts: 2,113
Personally, I couldn't stand House of 1000 Corpses and rate it as one of the worst movies I have seen in the past ten years, but this one was an improvement, still not great, but it was a fun movie to sit through.
Suitable only for persons of 18 years and over

Diabetes and Heart Disease Risk
Diabetes can cause damage to the heart and blood vessels. If you have diabetes, managing your blood glucose levels, along with reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, are important steps in in your treatment plan.
Millions of Americans are affected by diabetes, a serious, chronic condition with high blood glucose levels associated with numerous health complications, including cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is diagnosed by testing blood glucose levels. Although there is no cure, early detection, appropriate treatment, education, and a healthy lifestyle can help you avoid or delay diabetes-related complications.
Cardiovascular Disease
CVD is the leading cause of death in the United States and the is primary reason for heart attacks and strokes. It is also a common complication associated with diabetes. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), people with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to have CVD than the general population. Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart attack or stroke compared to the general population.
Controlling Risk Factors: Getting Appropriate Treatment
The most common cardiovascular disease is coronary artery disease (CAD). It occurs when there is a gradual build-up of plaque in blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to your heart muscle. Over time, the plaque narrows or blocks the branching arteries, limiting blood supply to the heart. Controlling risk factors that lead to CAD can decrease your risk of having a heart attack.
Blood Glucose
Chronic high blood glucose levels can damage your heart and blood vessels, leading to one of many CVDs. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor and control your blood glucose levels.
Cholesterol is a substance that is an important component of cell membranes as well as a building block necessary in the production of many hormones. Our bodies make what we need, but certain foods in your diet can lead to higher than normal levels of cholesterol. These abnormally high levels of cholesterol contribute to formation of fatty deposits within the walls of blood vessels. This build up can lead to CAD.
Cholesterol is transported through the bloodstream by high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). LDL is frequently called "bad cholesterol" as it promotes accumulation of cholesterol in the walls of your arteries. Diabetes may make the LDL particles more likely to stick to and damage artery walls. HDL cholesterol is sometimes referred to as "good" cholesterol. It helps clear excess cholesterol from your body. Its level is raised mostly by regular exercise.
Besides making appropriate lifestyle changes, the ADA also recommends using medications called statins to lower cholesterol levels in people with diabetes with CVD or at risk of developing CVD, even if cholesterol levels are not high. Adults who have diabetes and high cholesterol levels, but without CVD, may also need to take statins.
Blood Pressure
Narrow blood vessels are one reason for high blood pressure. Because hypertension can make some of the complications of diabetes worse, the ADA recommends aggressive treatment of high blood pressure for people with diabetes. The ADA recommends a target blood pressure below 140/80 mm Hg for people with diabetes. In certain populations, the target number may be 130/80 mm Hg.
High blood pressure in people with diabetes is treated with:
- Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors)
- Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)
- Calcium channel blockers
- Thiazide-like diuretics
Many treatments for hypertension involve a combination of medications. Talk to your doctor about which would be better for you based on your target blood pressure.
Work With Your Health Care Team
It is likely you will have a health care team that is made up of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with your medical team and be an active participant in your care. Talk to your team about symptoms, treatments, or side effects that you are having difficulty with. Other treatments options may be available to help you better manage your diabetes and/or CVD.
Controlling Risk Factors: Lifestyle Modifications
In addition to using medication to control cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels, modifying certain lifestyle factors is essential for reducing the complications associated with diabetes and improving your length and quality of life.
Eat a Healthful Diet
Work with your doctor to devise an eating plan that you can follow. Include foods that are low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, and high in fiber and whole grains; consume salt and alcohol in moderation; choose fats that help lower cholesterol (omega-3 fatty acids); and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. A healthful diet can also help manage your CVD risk by lowering your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels.
Increase Your Physical Activity
Adults should aim to complete at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity. Being physically active will have broad health benefits. Those with diabetes need to pay special attention to blood glucose control and protective footwear during physical activities.
Begin by finding ways to incorporate extra movement into your day—walk briskly, take the stairs instead of the elevator, or park a little farther away from your destination than usual. Start slowly and build up your strength and endurance. Being physically active can be very enjoyable, and it's good for your overall physical and mental health.
Talk to your doctor before you start any fitness plan.
Weight Loss
Eating a healthy diet, reducing your calorie intake, and increasing your physical activity will all help you lose weight if needed. Weight loss and increased activity can also increase your healthy HDL. Consider talking to a dietitian who can help you with meal planning to make the transition easier.
No Smoking
If you are thinking about quitting, there are many smoking cessation programs and support groups which can help you. The benefits of quitting are both immediate and long-lasting.
Educate yourself about diabetes and and heart disease, and how you can control it. There are many sources of information and organizations dedicated to managing and preventing this disease. Work closely with your healthcare team to monitor your health and help you address your individual health issues.

WASHINGTON- U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) introduced the Government Shutdown and Default Prevention Act, legislation that would prevent members of Congress and the President of the United States from being paid during a default or shutdown of the federal government.
"This is common sense legislation that ensures that lawmakers are held accountable for a failure to act in the best interest of our economy and nation," said Senator Casey. "Playing roulette with the credit standing and functioning of the United States government is simply an unacceptable risk to the security of middle class Americans."
"A default on our nation's debt or a deliberate shutdown of our government would be a disaster for our economy and hurt millions of Americans," Senator Boxer said. "This legislation would send a simple message to members of Congress – if you take these actions that will severely harm the American people, you don't deserve and won't receive a paycheck."
Senators Casey and Boxer introduced the same legislation in the 112th Congress, which passed the Senate in March 2011 by unanimous consent. However, the House refused to act on the measure.
Economists and business leaders have warned that a default would have catastrophic impacts on the global financial system and the US economy, and a government shutdown would hurt millions of Americans by disrupting Social Security checks, benefits for veterans and paychecks for our troops.
The Government Shutdown and Default Prevention Act would prevent Members of Congress and the President from being paid retroactively after a government shutdown, and also would prevent them from being paid if the public debt limit is reached and the government defaults on its financial obligations.

Belarus - GDP Composition by Sector
Agriculture corresponds to ISIC divisions 1-5 and includes forestry, hunting, and fishing, as well as cultivation of crops and livestock production. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 3. Industry corresponds to ISIC divisions 10-45 and includes manufacturing (ISIC divisions 15-37). It comprises value added in mining, manufacturing (also reported as a separate subgroup), construction, electricity, water, and gas. Services correspond to ISIC divisions 50-99 and they include value added in wholesale and retail trade (including hotels and restaurants), transport, and government, financial, professional, and personal services such as education, health care, and real estate services. Also included are imputed bank service charges, import duties, and any statistical discrepancies noted by national compilers as well as discrepancies arising from rescaling. The industrial origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 3. Note: For VAB countries, gross value added at factor cost is used as the denominator. More info »

I'm writing in response to "Racist excuses" (July 3 letters). Hats off to the writer.
It is true that liberals voted for Obama t serve a second term even though he failed in his first term. They voted Democrat because they didn't want a Republican. It didn't matter what he did to the country.
Between the immigration problems, ObamaCare, various scandals, overseas problems and terrorists, our country is getting weaker and weaker. The important issues are being swept under the carpet.
The worse things get, it seems the happier the Obama folks appear. Nothing is going to stop them from enjoying themselves.

COLDWATER � For some time, the Humane Society of Branch County has been in desperate need of renovations to one of the two buildings on their property.
The building was erected in 1973 and was without proper ventilation, heating or�air conditioning and has extensive deterioration.
Animals have fallen ill and some have died due to what the HSBC veterinarian has said to be upper respiratory illnesses caused by the inadequacies of the older building.
HSBC is seeking to build a safer shelter for the animals and visitors by utilizing the support of the community.
Currently, the HSBC has raised $30,000 ��with $3,150 having been pledged toward the building fund. In addition, 11 companies and individuals have volunteered their time and contributed supplies.
Hal Barid, owner of Aker Inc., recently donated parts and labor for the installation of a new HVAC system.
An employee of Aker Inc. whose wife volunteers at the shelter discussed the issues with Barid and�he decided to help.
"We have a pet from there ourselves," Barid said.�"She comes to the office with us. It needed to be done and we did it."
Aker Inc. donated the complete system, poured the concrete slab where the system was placed and spent upwards of�seven hours installing the unit. Seven employees volunteered their time late into the nights last week.
For 37 years Aker Inc. has provided air conditioning and heating services to the Branch, Hillsdale, St. Joseph and Calhoun County areas.
Another local�company has also stepped up in a big way to help the HSBC � Kaiser Electric donated labor and materials to wire the system. Jim White has owned the company for the last 10 years. Before White took over his parents had owned the company since 1963.
After receiving a call from Aker Inc. that the system needed wiring, White and his three employees decided to help.
"We needed to give back to the local community and this was a great place to start," said White.
Kaiser Electric specializes in electrical needs for residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural customers in Branch County and surrounding areas.
Aker and Kaiser donate to Humane Society

Pearly Icon Skinny Jean is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Flaca124 from Depends on the color I got these in honeydew in my normal size 27 and they fit a bit tighter than other bebe jeans. They aren't stretchy either but if you are short like me, 5'2, the length is perfect. I have skinny legs and the jeans look painted on, they are even tight around my ankles. The lemonade color jeans ran at least 2 sizes too small.
Date published: 2013-06-05
Rated 4 out of 5 by Commuter from Rus small I love the glimmer sheen that these jeans have. Love the colors. BUT runs very small. I tried them on in the store and I had to go Two sizes up. I normally wear size 28 in bebe jeans that are strechy or size 29 in bebe jeans that have no strech. These are strechy but the waist is not that strechy and my normal size 29 did not close at all. I tried size 30 and it fit better. Just by picking up the pants without even trying them on you can see how small they run.

Bad device caused Super Bowl blackout, power company says
NEW ORLEANS – A power company says the cause of the Super Bowl blackout was a faulty device that had been installed to prevent a failure of electric cables leading to the Superdome.
Officials of Entergy New Orleans say the device, called a relay, had been installed to protect the stadium from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and lines that run into the stadium.
Company officials said the device performed without problem during January's Sugar Bowl and other earlier events.
They said the device has been removed and replacement equipment will be installed.
The power failure cut lights to about half of the stadium for 34 minutes, halting play between the Baltimore ravens and San Francisco 49ers.

The modern mortgage market offers a variety of mortgage loans catering to the needs of homebuyers. The titles and details of these plans can become confusing, especially as new types are introduced continuously. You can make sense of these loan types, however, if you understand the basic principles that govern all mortgage loans. Again, you can look to your real estate professional for assistance.
As you learn more about the types of financing available, you will notice that some loans appear to have more favorable terms. That may indicate that those loans are, indeed, bargains (and it does pay to shop around), but usually it means that those loans could have some feature that is less appealing to borrowers. For example, shorter-term loans often have slightly lower interest rates compared to longer-term loans. However, the monthly payment for the same amount of principal may be higher because of the shorter term. Variable rate loans usually have much lower interest rates to compensate for the risk the borrower accepts that interest rates will rise in the future.

The Leavenworth Board of Education has extended the contract of Superintendent Kelly Crane.
The Leavenworth Board of Education has extended the contract of Superintendent Kelly Crane.
The extension approved Monday night was for one year, but Crane already had a three-year contract, according to Kevin Gullett, chief financial officer for the school district.
"That covers the next three school years," he said of the extension.
He said Crane's contract now will run through June 2016.
Gullett said it's not uncommon for superintendents to have three-year contracts.
The vote to extend the contract was 5-1 with board member Nancy Klemp voting against the measure, according to Brenda Sheumaker, assistant clerk of the board.
Board member Loyal Torkelson attended most of Monday's meeting but had to leave before the vote was taken on the superintendent's contract.
Gullett said the motion that extended the superintendent's contract did not address salary.
He said board members may consider extending contracts of other administrators in the school district next month. He said most administrators have one-year contracts.
The board voted to extend the contract after meeting behind closed doors in executive session to discuss personnel.
Earlier during the meeting, the board met in executive session to consult with an attorney. After returning from that executive session, board members voted to accept a settlement agreement as discussed in executive session.
Gullett said he can't comment on the settlement agreement.
"That's a personnel matter," he said.

How much will it cost to remodel and how do I get a kitchen renovation cost estimate using a cost calculator are common questions from homeowners. RemodelOrMove.com provides this guide and tools and all the information you need to use a kitchen renovation cost calculator and start your remodel right!
- An instant cost estimate from our kitchen renovation cost calculators
- Thousands and thousands of photos of bathrooms and kitchens to search, save and share
- Check list to start your project successfully
- Answers to your questions
There are many ways to get cost estimates using a kitchen renovation cost calculator and to create a budget before and after the designs are complete.
For an initial budget you can use industry cost averages – like $20,000 for a kitchen remodel or $10,000 for a bathroom remodel, but no one lives in an average house in an average city! Another common method is to create an estimate using a cost per square foot method. This is very popular and effective for builders since they have developed a dollar per square foot that reflects their business and costs. Unfortunately dollar per square foot estimates need to be adjusted based on what is in that square foot! If it is the garage or a bathroom the cost can vary from $25 to $250 and more. So estimating this way works best for the pros.
How the Remodel Cost Calculators Work
The Remodelormove cost calculator combines both methods to provide an estimate. The calculators use your location to estimate labor costs, your preferences for types of materials and fixtures as well as how much work you would like to do. Choosing economy, average or expensive materials for your remodel has a big impact on the overall costs for the kitchen and bathroom remodel and additions. The cost of materials has less of an impact on rooms like garage and bedroom additions.
The labor costs include both the fees and markups added by general contractors as well as the labor of the tradespeople who do the framing. Flooring, tile, drywall, etc. All of this work can be done by a homeowner. If you choose to do some of the work yourself, make sure you do a lot of practice before taking on the task for you home. What looks easy on a youtube video invariably has a lot of tricks and techniques that aren't obvious; especially with plumbing!
Sample results from the kitchen renovation cost calculator.
|After careful review of your Kitchen renovation cost project where you Hire a contractor, do None of the work yourself and use Average cost materials, we estimate the cost will be between $10,500 and $12,100. We also estimate the payback (the amount your home will appreciate by doing the remodel) will be $800.

The Delmar Riney Art Gallery at Pratt Community College will display the work of Fred Lassmann as the featured exhibit during the month of October. Lassmann is a native Kansan, born in Wichita and raised in rural Butler County, where he resides with his wife, Kathy. After graduating from Augusta High School, he attended El Dorado Junior College and Wichita University.
"Seeing beyond seeing," from the book "The Tao of Photography," defines the philosophy of his art. His understanding of light and the technical aspects of the medium are evident when viewing his images.
His interest in photography began in 1962 with a purchase of a Nikon F 35mm camera. His education in photography continued to grow by learning advanced photographic techniques and darkroom processes while pursuing a career in aviation.
When an opportunity to purchase the local photography studio in Augusta was presented, Lassmann interrupted his aviation career. He and his wife owned and operated the studio from 1973 to 1983. Lassmann returned to Cessna in 1979 and spent most of the next 30 years in Citation Customer Service. While extensive traveling required placing his photography on hold, the passion was never lost. Retiring from Cessna in 2009, Lassmann now spends quality time pursuing the art of photography.
Lassmann has shown his work at "Final Friday Art Crawl" events in Wichita, The Photographers' Gallery in the Delano District of Wichita, The Augusta Arts Council in Augusta, Art on the Town in El Dorado, Kan., and The Art Room in El Dorado. His work is currently featured at L'image in Towne East Square in Wichita, McMullen Jewelry in Lincoln Heights in Wichita and Fine Art America.
The Delmar Riney Art Gallery is located in the Riney Student Center at Pratt Community College. The hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, or by appointment. For more information about the gallery or to make an appointment, please call (620) 450-2184.
If you would like to be considered for a "Featured Artist of the Month", send your name, contact information and a brief description of your artwork to Pratt Community College, Vice President of Students/EM, 348 NE SR 61, Pratt KS 67124 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

A vaginal yeast infection is irritation of the vagina and the outside area around it, called the vulva.
A yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of fungus that is normally found in small amounts in the vagina.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of a yeast infection include:
- Situations that can cause hormonal changes, such as birth control pills , pregnancy, or menopause
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Douching—irrigating the vagina
- Diabetes, especially when blood sugar is not well-controlled
- A compromised immune system from health conditions, such as HIV infection or chronic use of oral steroid medication
A vaginal yeast infection may cause:
- Mild to severe itching
- A clumpy vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese
- Soreness, irritation, or burning
- Rash or redness on the skin outside the vagina
- Painful urination
- Painful sexual intercourse
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A swab test of vaginal discharge will taken to confirm the diagnosis.
It is important to see a doctor if you have symptoms. Other health conditions, such as sexually transmitted diseases, have symptoms that are similar to a yeast infection. These can include bacterial vaginosis , chlamydia , or gonorrhea .
Depending on the severity of the infection, your doctor may recommend over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medication. Antifungal medications are available as oral tablets, intravaginal creams, or suppositories.
To help reduce your chance of a yeast infection:
- Dry the outside vaginal area thoroughly after a shower, bath, or swim.
- Don't douche.
- If you have diabetes, try to control your blood sugar.
- Avoid frequent or prolonged use of antibiotics if possible.

Description: Ajikiri Deba Hocho are shorter in length than other deba. It is named for the horse mackerel, "aji", that it is traditionally used to cut. Ajikiri are ideal for deboning meat and small fish and are used for many other general purpose cutting tasks - from cutting chicken and pork to beef. It can be used for detailed cutting jobs that would be performed by a paring knife in the Western kitchen. Its heaviness and thickness allows for easy chopping through fish bones, while its ability to take on an extremely sharp edge allows for delicate work and the filleting of even the smallest fish.
This damascus slicing knife is hand forged by 4th generation blacksmith Shigeki Tanaka. For more than 100 years, the Tanaka family has been noted for their fine quality farming tools. Due to declining demand for farm tools, the family began making cutlery. To increase their technique, they apprenticed their youngest son, Shigeki, to a famous Takefu knife maker. Since returning to his father's shop, Shigeki has become noted for the quality of his knives.
The blade features a jigane, which is made by folding together layers of different types of carbon steels. This unique process creates a Jigane with sixteen exceedingly thin, alternating layers, called suminagashi or damascus. This is then hand forged to a layer of high carbon steel (aogami #2) and tempered to Rockwell c63 - 64. This process imparts a visual tension to the blade and a brilliant, long lasting cutting edge. Because blue steel is a carbon steel, these knives must be dried after use to prevent rust or tarnish. The maker's mark is hand chiseled on the blade and a ho wood and buffalo horn handle is installed.
Traditional Japanese chef's knives differ from European-styled knives in that they are sharpened with a bevel on only one side. The opposite side is slightly hollowed. Because of this, these knives can generally be honed to a sharper edge than can double bevel knives.

non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 4)
Test Issue - a preliminary offering issued as a test to see if a product would be accepted by collectors.
Tobacco Card - typically from the early 1900s, these were cards issued with tobacco products. The most famous of which is the "T-206" Honus Wagner card.
Traded/Update Set - a set issued after the original issue primarily featuring rookies or players who were traded since the original issue came out.
Trimmed Card - a card reduced in size from when it was issued, usually to hide an imperfection such as damaged edges or corners. Trimmed cards usually have very little value but in some cases such as the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle, even trimmed cards can go for thousands of dollars. The most famous 'trimmed' card to date is the T206 Honus Wagner purchased by Wayne Gretzky. The card was actually too large and was trimmed down to it's proper size.
Unauthorized Issue - a card release which is not licensed by a league, a player's association, or by a player.
Variation - a card that was printed by the manufacturer in two or more different ways.
Wax - a universal collecting term for factory-sealed packs or boxes. The term "wax" most often refers to sealed material that was originally released in the early 1990's or back -- a time when packs were wrapped and sealed in wax paper wrappers. It can casually reference modern era packs or boxes that no longer use actual wax paper.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!!

The two governing boards of Rutgers University today voted to approve the restructuring of New Jersey's higher education landscape, removing the final hurdle to reshaping Rutgers, the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Rowan University.
After a closed session and public comments, Rutgers' boards of governors and trustees voted for the restructuring legislation that was signed by Gov. Chris Christie earlier this year.
"These are precisely the issues that can tear a university apart," said Dr. Robert Barchi, president of Rutgers. "That has not happened here."
One of the largest, previously unanswered questions surrounding the restructuring was the cost to Rutgers of absorbing UMDNJ's assets in North and Central Jersey. According to the resolution, Rutgers would take on roughly $456 million in debt from UMDNJ, which could be restructured. Roughly $116 million of UMDNJ's debt will be allocated to University Hospital, and $57 million would be allocated to Rowan as it absorbs the School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Rutgers currently has nearly $1.2 billion in debt, plus $450 million approved for other projects.
On an annual debt service basis, the UMDNJ debt would remain on Rutgers' books until 2036. The credit rating of Rutgers could be downgraded by taking on the assets, but there is "major upside potential beyond the first year," according to Barchi. It is estimated the rating would be downgraded one step, though it could drop two steps, based on UMDNJ's weak balance sheet.
Bruce Fehn, treasurer of the board of governors, said a balance sheet of combined Rutgers and UMDNJ will have more than $5 billion in assets. The base case the boards compiled during the due diligence steps was based on there being no synergies between the two schools in order to create the most conservative estimates possible.
Rutgers also worked with the state Department of Treasury to establish a memorandum of understanding that the state, not Rutgers, would be responsible for medical malpractice claims associated with UMDNJ, which Barchi said was a grave concern for Rutgers before the memorandum was crafted.
Risks for Rutgers during implementation include the increased risks of becoming a clinical care provider, risks of changing state funding and risks during implementation. Despite these risks, Brachi recommended the integration for its opportunities, including creating a "powerhouse" of health care delivery.
Questions remain about University Hospital; the state has issued a request for proposal for an ownership partner to take over when UMDNJ is no longer a freestanding institution. Rutgers will not be involved in monitoring the process of how the state will handle the debt and divestment of the hospital from UMDNJ, according to Ralph Izzo, chair of the board of governors.
The resolution to approve integration was unanimously approved by the board of governors, and the board of trustees affirmed with several absences and two recusals.
The reorganization of the schools has a deadline of July 1, 2013, but Barchi said that is when some of the implementation planning can begin. He added that the following year would include many of the expected changes.

Though the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has not yet made a decision on taking control of operations at Atlantic City International Airport, an executive for the airport's current operator said business will take off regardless of who's in charge, as a 75,000-square-foot expansion unveiled today has paved the way for increased air traffic.
"We don't know much about (the Port Authority's) feasibility study at this point, but look at our track record and look at what we have now," said Sam L. Donelson, acting executive director of the South Jersey Transportation Authority. "Year-to-date, we're up 3.5 percent in scheduled service passengers, and we've been up about 24 percent since 2008, when the big downturn started. Regardless of who runs the place, people understand the convenience of this airport, so whatever happens, I think it's going to grow."
Donelson said the airport has taken a significant step towards growth through the $27 million project, which added three gates, an expanded baggage-claim area and a federal customs facility to accommodate international flights.
According to Donelson, the airport had opened its runways to planes diverted from delays or problems at facilities in Newark and Philadelphia for years, but "we never had the facilities to appropriately handle and process deplaned passengers, and we had to use makeshift space to hold them."
"Now that we have the customs- and border-protection-approved facilities to handle them, we're already working with a major carrier to be their international diversionary airport," Donelson said. "It's our foot in the door to a lot of major carriers."
Currently, Atlantic City International Airport offers direct service to Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Atlanta through Spirit Airlines, and Donelson said the SJTA is "very hopeful that we can get direct service to the Caribbean islands next year" for the airport's first direct international flights, which it's equipped to handle through the completed expansion project.
Unlike most of the airport's improvement projects — which are usually funded by grants through the Federal Aviation Administration — Donelson said the $27 million project was "funded entirely through funds generated by the Atlantic City Expressway, and that's the beauty of being a transportation authority, in taking revenues from one facility to use on another."
Though the FAA has planned federal spending cuts that could impact the Egg Harbor Township airport, Donelson said it "might take away the amount of money we have for funding future projects, but it would not affect any operational expenses, including operational costs for this expansion."
While those cuts are set to take effect in January, Donelson said the SJTA is currently more concerned about "getting the message out that the Atlantic City area and our facilities had minimal damage from Hurricane Sandy and that we're back in business."
"Throughout our outer markets, people think the shore was wiped off the face of the map … but we actually only had 20 flights affected by the storm, and since that time, there has been a minimal impact that's nothing to be concerned over," Donelson said. "We haven't seen any dramatic impact on bookings, but they're slightly down based on past history, so we're keeping an eye on that and we're focused on letting everyone know that everything is fine."
According to the SJTA's annual report, Atlantic City International Airport processed 1.4 million passengers in 2010, and Donelson said he expects the airport to surpass 1.5 million passengers in 2012 and possibly see a bigger jump in 2013 if it attracts more carriers and direct service in the wake of its expansion.

N. A generous, fuzzy god, known for its mysterious and glorious golden booty. A King James is one cheap ass motherfucker and will most likely be spotted frolicking with its nugget (a stout angry and smelly creature that likes to tag along). A King James enjoys a good beer and schnaz. Never fuck with a King James.
Sniff sniff...I smell a booty. Can it be? Is it a king James?
I love my king James!!

Plainview High School Academic Team is the only local team advancing to the state tournament after winning the school's first Area Championship.
The school has been to state three times before, but has never advanced undefeated at area. Surprisingly, the championship also came after Plainview placed third in regionals.
Led in scoring by Captain Riley Baird, the team finished with an Area Tournament point average of 293.33.
"We had an abnormally high average because we were able to work as a team," Baird said. "We weren't as worried about scoring higher than each other, when before we had some in-fighting." The scoring average ties Cascia Hall as the highest Class 4A average headed into state competition.
The Area Championship came only a week after the team won the Stigler Tournament. In a combined round robin and bracket tournament, Plainview won eight straight games, including one against the host team. Senior John Black made the All-Tournament Team.
Plainview will face Stigler again in the first round of state Feb. 2 at Redlands Community College in El Reno. The next round will be based on the Byng-Clinton match-up.
"We are very happy with our spot in the bracket," said Coach Melinda Wallace. "We have already beaten Stigler once this year, but it was a very close game. Every game at the state level is a tough game and a nailbiter." Also in 4A, Lone Grove competed at area, but lost in its first two games.
In 5A, Ardmore won its first match, but lost the next two. It 's the first time in several years that Ardmore has not advanced to state.
Senior Kevin Stolfa received a brief ovation after answering all 10 questions on imaginary numbers during a single 60-second round.
After the team lost, members volunteered to serve as scorekeeper/ timer for another team who was missing members due to the flu. T he y would have been disqualified had Ardmore team members not stepped in.
"It wasn't how area has turned out for us in the past, but it was good," said Coach Patty Lee. "I am very proud of our sportsmanship." In Class 2A, neither Ringling nor Davis advanced to state.
"Overall, we had a really good season, and we are already planning for next year," said Davis Coach Amanda Rogers.

Miyuki size 8/0 beads are packaged in 2x3" bags, with appox. 25 grams per tube. There are 40 beads per gram so a bag holds appox. 1000 beads. The exception to this are the precious metal coated beads. They are packaged in 2x2" bags, with either approx. 10 or 5 grams per tube therefore a tube holds either approx. 400 or 200 beads per bag.
Miyuki beads are made to exacting standards, so you can count on their consistency. Prices are discounted by volume, buy more tubes of the same color and get a deeper discount. If you purchase 10 bags or more you will receive a 250 gram bulk bag, which may need to be special ordered, and will take 3 to 5 additional days to ship.
* If you are looking for a bead by its number you can search in the search window in the upper left hand corner of the home page. Just enter the bead size and number, ex: 11-334 or 334 and that will get you any bead with those numbers in its name or id code. Then choose the one that matches your need.
Price is per tube.
