Get DVD Talk Feeds
When "Mystery Science Theater 3000" was kicked off the air in 1999 after a mesmerizing ten-year run, it left a colossal void in the comedy world. Where would we get our sarcastic comments thrashing trashy B-moves now? Our liberal dose of strange and obscure literary and pop culture references testing the limitations of the viewer's intellect and geekdom? The enchantment of occasional song stylings between robot and human? It was a dark time for fans of the beloved television program.
In what can only be described as an MSTie miracle, the current rebirth of the show, or more specifically the format, has resulted in two worthy additions to the kingdom sure to please anyone hungering for professional cinematic sassmouth. The first is Mike Nelson's RiffTrax experiment (rifftrax.com), which allows the public to purchase "riffing" audio tracks that sync up to films that would never undergo the treatment willingly ("Battlefield Earth," "Star Trek V," and "Eragon" are great examples). The comedic quality of the selections has varied wildly, but Nelson (often with crony Kevin Murphy, along with a wild assortment of guests) has done a superb job keeping the riff dream alive and ticklish with his scrappy DIY moxie and fan-pleasing principals.
If "Rifftrax" is the low tech way to huff "MST3K" fumes, "The Film Crew" is the closest fans will ever get to the Satellite of Love without being jettisoned into space.
The concept is this: Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett (perhaps better known as "Crow Deux") are working-class stiffs, stuck in a basement awaiting orders from their boss, Bob Honcho. It seems the Film Crew's job is to lay down audio commentary tracks for feature films that would normally never see the attention, so they dutifully go about business in their matching uniforms, strapping themselves into Howard Cosell-era audio headgear to rake the movies offered to them over the coals. Hey, it's a living.
"Hollywood After Dark" is the inaugural title of Shout Factory's "Film Crew" DVD series (three others will see release throughout the year) and it sends the boys off in grand fashion. 1968's "Dark" defies most description, but let's just say it features Rue McClanahan as a stripper and yes, you read that right. Rue McClanahan. Stripping. There's some utter nonsense about a heist, a pair of classic daddy-o bad guys, and an honest stab at addressing the perils of wannabe stardom. However, all that pales in comparison to the fact that the future Blanche Devereaux drops her kit in the picture. I've officially seen everything now.
"The Film Crew" plays out in the same fashion as "MST3K," only now the boys generally perform as themselves (emphasizing the corporate workday drudgery), no silhouette is used, and the riffing content, as well as the film itself, contains a more adult edge, allowing for mild cursing and, in the case of "Dark," a more liberal deconstruction of the sexual themes present. Otherwise, it's the same comedic mastery fans have come to expect from these talented actors and their boundless imagination for insults and satiric banter.
The riffs are acerbic, smutty, and near perfect in "Dark;" imagining a Darren Aronofsky-inspired strip routine, spotting a young Condoleezza Rice doppelganger performing a spastic dance number, making the requisite West Hollywood jokes, trying to process the unforgiving visual of a sweaty, thrusting Rue, and returning to the fertile ground of "Lord of the Rings" jokes and "Narnia" references.
Perhaps the largest deviation from the "MST3K" formula is the Film Crew's usage of only one breather during the DVD, branded here as a "Lunch Break." Taking five minutes out of the middle of the program to focus on Bill's attempt at a brainstorming session, the results are lackluster; absent the wit and natural goofiness that informed the "MST3K" host sequences. When the riffing is going this well, it's almost criminal to halt the fun for something comedically deadly.
Imagine Rhino's presentation of the "MST3K" DVDs, and you'll have a close approximation of what the new "Film Crew" brand offers. While suffering from a low-budget video softness, the disc is without any visual hiccups. "Hollywood After Dark" is appropriately grainy and well-worn, adding to the fun.
Presented in 2.0 Dolby Digital, audio is crisp and clear in both the host segments and the riffing arena. It's a limited presentation, but all the basics are covered -every comment is easily understood.
A poem by Bill Corbett, entitled "An Ode to Lunch," is the DVD's only extra. A two-minute love letter to everyone's favorite midday meal, "Lunch" is strictly for lovers of language.
"Rifftrax" has the benefit of being timely and versatile. "MST3K" had the legacy and the quality that made it a classic television program with timeless appeal. "The Film Crew" falls somewhere in the middle, bringing back the ecstasy of a carefully planned riff session with three guys well versed in the genre, yet falling just short of the impossible expectations that lord over this endeavor like the "2001" monolith. Still, it's outstanding to see Mike, Kevin, and Bill fighting bravely to keep the concept alive, and the "Film Crew" DVD series is a sweet treat for the faithful who've missed watching these affable B-movie slayers in front of the camera, entertaining the pants off viewers like nobody's business.

Panther 2000 - 000 Series
000 Series Specifications
The 000 Series is designed for applications where speed and accuracy are critical to your operation. With label merge or brush on stations in-line with the 000 Series you'll achieve both.
Label Merge - No Applicator Required
000 Series Requires One Of The Following
- Brush Station
- Wrap Station
Panther 2000
We started out by designing a Print and Apply labeling system that we knew needed to be built. This system had to be fast, reliable, configurable, and rugged. It had to have an abundant label supply along with one important feature that most of the market was lacking - a display unit that would offer self-diagnostics, provide informative data, and accept user input. Upon final completion we decided on a name. A name that exemplified speed, ability, and strength. A name that told the competition that their days were numbered - The Panther 2000.
The Panther 2000 is designed to be the most rugged, feature-packed print and apply system in the industry. We have taken no shortcuts in achieving our design goal.

Butterfly Template and Scrapbook Layout
Hi Everyone! I created this layout last night and everything about it was easy but when it came to the chipboard alpha. . . arggghh! It's the sort of chipboard that is raw . . .you know, non-decorated. I adhered the designer paper on to the chipboard but when it came to cutting the designer paper with a blade. . .okay, that's when the "issues" began. I could not cut it nicely with the craft knife. It took me forever to to cut them out. It just didn't look very smooth . . .I guess I'm not a very good craft knife cutter, LOL!!
Anyway, the picture is of my daughter with the wind blowing across her face; hence, the title "Blown Away"!! If you want to know how to create a "vintage" look to a photo, visit my blog site "Photo Inspirations". I posted a Photoshop tutorial on desaturation.
The Prima flowers on my layout is by Making Memories. The designer paper is by K&CO, brads by JoAnns, chipboard shape and alpha is by Colorbok, and the buttons are just regular sewing buttons that I found in the sewing department at JoAnns. The buttons in the sewing department is cheaper than the ones sold at the scrapbook section.
Okay. . . my layered butterfly is a butterfly that I drew on Adobe Illustrator and I created a template to share with y'all! You can use it as an embellishment for your scrapbook layouts or for your cards. The butterfly measures 4.5 x 4.5".
Try it out if you want!! My next project will be to use the butterfly template for a card project.
This template has the "center body". You can use it to paper piece the butterfly. Click on the image and you can print it directly from the Internet. I think if you print it directly from the Internet, the size will shrink by maybe 1/2"; you may need to adjust your printer to enlarge the images somewhat.

I tend to think you get what you pay for life, so when I saw the story of a father who offered his 16-year-old daughter up as a free babysitter for 30 hours in Texas, I was skeptical.
Kirstin Rausch, 16, of Texas threw a late-night party while her parents were asleep one night in their upscale neighborhood and as punishment, her parents took out an ad in the local paper offering 30 hours of free babysitting.
According to the NBC, the ad read:
"Want a free babysitter for a night out?" read the headline in the Southlake Journal. Under Kirstin's picture, it said: "I'm in BIG trouble for missing my curfew, and my parents are making me provide 30 hours of free babysitting as punishment. My pain is your gain, so call."
And now the real question: would you ever partake?
Let me just say for the record that I have never used a teenage babysitter for my children. I am lucky to live near my family and my sister who is 24 and our sitter who is 27, are really the only people I feel OK leaving my children with for any length of time.
I was, after all, a teenager myself. I babysat for one baby when I was 14 and I shudder to remember the way I watched TV, ate from the pantry and ignored the baby. I was not a shining example of responsible adolescence, a fact which has likely poisoned the well for me ever hiring anyone younger than 20 to stay with my kids.
That said, I knew a lot of teenagers who were more responsible than myself. Unfortunately, it does not sound like Rausch is one of them.
On the other hand, what if I were home?
Maybe I would try it. 30 hours is nothing to sneeze at. We pay our sitters about $15 an hour. That would save us quite a bit of cash and since I work from home, my kids would love to have someone to play with while I type away. But I would feel too guilty not to pay the poor girl.
Why should I take advantage of her because her parents are weird? Besides, I barely trust my parents with my babies, so the likelihood of me trusting a random 16-year-old who has already been busted for being naughty is low, indeed.
Would you try this out?

Preventing Self Harm with Anti-ligature TV Enclosures
Saving the lives of vulnerable people with anti-ligature TV enclosures.
Holding people against their will may seem like a crime, and in the wrong scenario it is, however holding people with a mental illness is recognised in a civil society, as a way to prevent self inflicted harm to themselves or towards others. This encompasses many forms of mental illness, including schizophrenia, depression, substance abuse and bipolar disorders and the side effects of these conditions result in many different outcomes from being withdrawn, not eating, not sleeping and violence. Whilst medication can be prescribed by a professional to aid the patient, it is not always successful and may be against a persons' will.
Preventing Self Harm with Anti-ligature TV Enclosures
Some mental conditions lie dormant until an incident occurs to provokes an outburst, this is where specially designed furniture – known as anti-ligature furniture, provides a safe environment. It is constructed to withstand force, and is shatter proof; which limits further destruction and pieces of furniture being used as a weapon against other people. This allows for a quality of life most of us take for granted. Watching television can be a calming, educational, informative and entertaining form of media, but the television itself can be deadly. It contains electrical parts which can cause death by electrocution and death by strangulation, let alone serious injury. Then there is the glass of the screen; many of us will have experienced how easy it is to accidentally get a cut from a dropped glass, but to actually slice the skin with a shard of glass can cause serious damaged to an artery or vein, the consequence of which is exsanguination, aka blood loss.
Taking one element of anti-ligature furniture, for instance the anti-ligature TV enclosures, can mean the difference between life and death. Providing a safe environment should be one of the fundamentals of caring for young offenders, immigration detainees or even mainstream prisoners. There is no accounting for potential suicide risks, despite initial healthcare screening when a person is first detained. Prevention is always better than cure; avoiding a conceivable situation may save a life, save a person from an injury and save a future criminal court case brought against the management of the institution.
But what is the cost of the plausible possibility of saving a life by installing an anti-ligature TV enclosure? If you put a price on something which is priceless, then it makes no sense; however for the nominal cost of installing TV protection can bring piece of mind, duty of care and a safe environment, which in itself is priceless.
The only business to provide worldwide solutions for anti-ligature TV enclosures is proencprojectorenclosures.co.uk.
For more information on anti-ligature TV enclosures, have a look at the website; fill in the 'Contact Us' section or call +44 (0) 843 2893717.
We look forward to advising you on providing a safe setting for vulnerable people by supplying anti-ligature TV enclosures.

SALT LAKE CITY — It may have happened 14 years ago, but the fury over President Bill Clinton's surprise creation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Monument remains with state and local officials who still mourn the "loss" of nearly 1.9 million acres.
For that reason, many area county officials have looked at cobbling together their own land conservation plans that set aside wilderness, reasoning that if they do it first, the federal government will have no reason to swoop in with an arbitrary designation.
As a model, many have looked to the Washington County lands bill that passed last year. Pushed by Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, and Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, the measure established two national conservation areas to protect the endangered desert tortoise and other vulnerable species and carved out 256,338 acres of wilderness areas in Washington County.
"In the aftermath of that bill, a number of counties have been looking at a similar process to try to resolve the wilderness debate on a negotiated basis," said John Andrews, associate director of the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA).
Such monument designations not only set industries such as mining, gas exploration and cattle ranching on their heels, but also trap SITLA lands, which are supposed to be developed to produce revenue for Utah's public schools and some of its state-owned universities.
The trust lands have been historically problematic because of the way they were created at statehood. Four sections of each 36-section township were designated trust lands, freckling the state with tracts that weren't conducive to development. Consolidating some of those lands through sales and trades has been one of the SITLA objectives for some time.
Andrews said SITLA had 176,000 acres captured in the Grand Staircase monument designation and another 300,000 acres that were off limits for development because they were in national parks or monuments or Native American Indian reservations. In a process often marred by stalled negotiations and setbacks, Andrews said the trust lands administration by 1999 was able to "trade out" those lands and also get a $58 million revenue boost.
When a U.S. Department of Interior memo was "leaked" earlier this year about the possible creation of more than a dozen new national monuments — including two in Utah — the howls of outrage began again.
"A monument designation is kind like an atomic bomb and the concern was why the president would do that if there are local efforts to come up with a consensus," Andrews said.
Those local planning efforts are far more palatable than what some state and local officials say is the far-reaching net cast by the Red Rock Wilderness Act, pushed for more than 20 years with the support of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, the Wilderness Society and the Sierra Club.
Sponsored by a New York Democrat, the bill would designate 9.4 million acres of Bureau of Land Management parcels — or one sixth of all the land in Utah — as wilderness. Such a designation would prevent commercial development, ban motorized vehicles and prohibit road building or oil and gas development.
"When new wilderness is created, it creates major problems for us because we can't get access to our lands and there isn't any possibility of economic development," Andrews said. "If you look at the Red Rock bill, that would capture over a million acres of school trust lands. Our total holdings are 3.5 million acres. If we lose almost a third of our portfolio, it is going to have an impact."
SITLA's investment fund for the first time reached the $1 billion threshold in December, and each year it distributes between $20 million and $30 million, mostly in interest earnings, to Utah schools.
For that reason, SITLA has been on the ground in Piute, San Juan, Emery and Beaver counties as potential land conservation plans are being discussed.
Andrews said those negotiations have included a wide variety of people with a vested interest in the process, including local farmers, ranchers, elected officials and environmental groups.
In some counties, progress has inched forward slowly; in others, it has come screeching to a near standstill.
"What we see is there is a split of opinion among the environmental community," Andrews said. "There are some who are very open to negotiation and some potential compromise on the theory that something is better than nothing. There are others who want 100 percent — they want exactly what they want and nothing less. At that point, it really isn't a negotiation."
The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance has been involved in many of those negotiations, something director Scott Groene said is critical for their success.
"We are always open to talk to anyone who is serious about protecting wilderness," he said. "It should be clear by now that unless the Utah Wilderness Coalition, which includes SUWA, is part of the agreement, that the proposals will be stopped in D.C."
In San Juan County, Bennett hosted a series of town meetings to gather input on a conservation plan.
"We're very much in favor of doing this county by county, which is certainly better than a regional or national approach by proponents who do not live here, who don't see this as their backyard," said Commissioner Lynn Stephens.
Stephens said Bennett was driving the planning process, reaching out to environmentalists and others for input.
"I don't think we want to be in the driver's seat," Stephens said. "We just want this to be handled well."
With Bennett's defeat during the May GOP convention, that planning process has shifted into a reluctant holding pattern while commissioners and others await the passage of November's general election.
"We think this process is credible and valid," Stephens said. "We'd like to proceed on with as much continuity as we can and would like very much to involve" Sen. Orrin Hatch's office.
A two dozen-member working committee in Beaver County has for years been trying to craft a land conservation plan, but the effort has since stalled due to lack of community support, said County Commission chair Donald Willden.
Willden, who took part in the working group, said some of the key members who held the committee together have since died.
"I still think we were doing the right thing, but some didn't feel it was worth fighting that battle at the time."
Willden is firm in the belief that a ground-up, locally driven conservation plan is the best approach, even if it is difficult and time-consuming to reach an agreement.
"Land conservation is not a one-size-fits-all proposal. We decided to let this sit for a bit and come back later to get a working group together."Similarly, in Emery County, there are efforts to run legislation to designate some wilderness. Ray Petersen, the county's public land administrator, said officials are still in the process of identifying those potential wilderness areas and are working with the staffs of all Utah's congressional delegation to keep them informed.
"Monument designations cause us great concern. They were considering the San Rafael Swell (as a possible new national monument) and if you look at the Grand Staircase-Escalante situation, we know this is not a new idea. It is out there and it might happen."

1. February 2018. Appropriately perched on the side of Dafen Oil Painting Village, this handsome art museum is well worth an hour of your time. Housed in a striking modern building on a large open square, it showcases original paintings from local artists.
2. February 2018. As with the adjoining oil painting village there's no entry fee, you can just stroll in and investigate at your leisure.
3. February 2018. It's a huge air-conditioned space inside and you can take as many photos as you want. There wasn't much of a security presence either, which added to the relaxed vibe. The whole museum takes a stripped back approach, with barely any literature at all to accompany the paintings, just the name of the painter and the year it was created.
4. February 2018. The museum hosts an annual Oil Painting Fair every October. There are special exhibitions and a huge live auction that fetched over 700 million RMB in 2017 ($1.1000000). I wonder how this fantastic painting, almost photographic in its clarity, would cost to take home.
5. February 2018. The museum is open daily (except Mondays) from 10:00-17:00.
For more on my adventures in the city, check out more of My 5s on Shenzhen.
Like these? Then why not have a leaf through my zillion articles from all around China.

GlimmerGear.com: a good example of bad product marketing
Bad product marketing includes failing to answer the customer's most important question. I give you Glimmer Gear.
I'm a runner. And a cyclist. I probably own a dozen bicycle lights, and even built my own megawatt strobe tail-light. I own several bikes, lots of lycra, and buy 4-6 pairs of running shoes every year. Behavior like this gets you on Active.com's Daily Deals email list. Last week, I flipped through Active's latest Groupon-like email. An offer for something called LED arm sleeves caught my attention. That's cool. Maybe useful for both running and riding? Will make it safer at night.
Copy and paste Glimmer Gear into Google. I'm now at GlimmerGear.com, the home of "LED sports apparel." It's unimpressive. Circa 2004 look and feel. Left nav bar with randomly ordered tabs. Nothing that can't be overlooked because the product seems to promise more safety. And yet…..there's no product to see.
True, there's a splash screen of four jpegs. I can see that the sleeves have illuminated dots on them but how well do they work? That's a question ideally answered by a video. Can you find a video on the website below?
Product Marketing Must Answer Your Prospect's Most Important Questions
The most important question from a cyclist or runner considering a safety product is, "Will it make riding or running safer?" There are other questions about price, battery life, availability and durability, but "yes to more safety?" tops the list by a mile. Glimmer Gear doesn't answer it at all.
The company could answer it pretty convincingly using a video. Just 90 seconds would be enough. Probably even 60 seconds would do it.
Video Should Be in Every Product Marketer's Toolbox
You would think this would be pretty obvious now, wouldn't you? After all, October 30, 2013 is the 7th anniversary of the launch of the Will It Blend? marketing campaign. The series of infomercials demonstrating the Blendtec line of blenders remains one of the most successful and highly publicized online marketing campaigns.
We're not talking a Glimmer Gear campaign, though; just a simple clip that shows me how the sleeves work at night, their visibility from afar, and how well they work in both urban and rural situations. Their testimonials don't help, either, as almost all of them are Facebook opinions on the product idea, ("It looks cool. It caught my eye") rather than the execution. Plus, the sleeves are somewhat pricey at $75 so I want to see them in action before ordering.
Bad Product Marketing Forgets the Consumer
Whoever is doing Glimmer's product marketing really needs to look at their products through the eyes of the prospect. Grab a video camera, a couple of riders, go out at night, and show the riding and running communities how it will make their nighttime workouts and commutes safer. Answer our most important question. That's all.
Then replace that above-the-fold .jpeg combination with the video. You'll make believers out of many, and customers out of some. Remember, don't miss opportunities to use video to showcase your product. Glimmer Gear has, and it's losing a lot of sales as a result.

A big story – front page in the Guardian, right next to her picture – in Britain today: Growing inequality in the healthcare system. It's so bad that lower-income manual workers have an infant mortality rate of 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births- 17% higher than the national average of 4.8 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Sounds bad, but then you think of North Carolina. Our overall infant mortality rate reported by Action for Children NC, is 8.1 deaths per 1,000 live births. Oh, wait, what about among whites? 6.0 deaths per 1,000 live births. Among all other races? 13.6 deaths per 1,000 live births.
Our cousins across the pond are worried about inequality? We've got more than they could ever dream of in NC. Good thing we've got our market-based health system working overtime at far more than twice the cost of the UK's to deliver those figures. Bottom line: A baby born to a well-off family here in NC has more of a chance of dying than babies born to the poorest families in the UK. Looks like we've got some work to do.

Like many of its Indie brethren, Audiosurf appears not unlike a student project at a glance. Everything from its visual style to its core gameplay – and especially the elegant simplicity with which it is all presented – smells of a product that may well be more experiment than game. But Audiosurf is a game; a tweak on a puzzle formula so fundamentally quintessential that the experimental vibe need not be sacrificed. There is a lack of surface complexity here: this is a game that has established its premise and thrived on it, and the result is a refreshingly simple, yet supremely playable experience that masks a considerable layer of depth.
The tagline of 'ride your music' is one of the most profoundly concise descriptions of any game we've ever read. And Audiosurf has itself ridden the wave of acceptance that the music fusion genre has enjoyed over the course of a decade that, according to commonly used media hubs, has actually reviewed Rez with more enthusiasm the second time around. With the likes of this, as well as Mizaguchi's other classic, Lumines, not to mention Vib Ribbon and other related titles influencing not only its own gameplay, but also the public's willingness to accept it, Audiosurf stands a very good chance of attaining the attention that it (to say nothing of its predecessors) rightfully deserves. Ride your music? It's a condensed statement that the public may finally be ready to understand.
It will probably help that Audiosurf doesn't force the pretensions of its creator's own vision and taste in music upon the public. Audiosurf does come with a select handful of pre-packaged tunes – it would be cruel for it not to –, but by and large it's been designed to take the music on your hard drive and re-interpret the audio dynamics as a slippery racecourse and a series of coloured bricks. The only restrictions lie frivolously in the visual presentation and a desire for tempo, something that guarantees that a track by Muse will always be more appropriate than most of Xavier Rudd's back catalogue (although Art of Fighting proved to be a surprising fit, so the impulse to experiment is certainly intact). The player can surf any song they please, of course, and subtle differentiations in gameplay and difficulty help to accommodate this.
So, how does it all work? Well, it's a bit like Columns disguised as a futuristic racing game where speed is controlled by the music rather than traditional acceleration. The player picks a song, and then Audiosurf takes the desired track and turns it into a linear race-course of sorts, spread out over three primary lanes and two safety zones. With the course laid out, the music kicks in and it becomes necessary to use a ship-shaped avatar to collect the blocks of various colours that stream down the three lanes, storing them in a grid at the base of the track. Match three or more blocks of the same colour and they will disappear, adding points to your score in accordance with the total combo, as well as what colour they were. Overfill any one of the bars and it will be emptied, robbing the player of points rather than awarding them, as well as making their ship insubstantial and unable to collect new blocks for a short time.
Ships themselves come in various sorts, spread over three difficulty levels. Each has a unique function, such as Pointman's ability to pick up and store a block of a certain colour, or Eraser's useful skill of eliminating colours entirely. These seem gimmicky at first, but they quickly open up their own unique benefits, and allow for a wide variety of play styles from relaxed to insane.
As for the blocks themselves, much like the erratic courses, they work in timed accordance with the music that plays. Red blocks, which are worth the most points, come at more intense moments of songs, while cooler colours are more common and appear during calmer periods. Expect also the odd power-up, such as score multipliers and bricks that will apply a uniform colour to your current collection. Unsurprisingly, they all come forward in harmony with the music's beat, an aspect that is quite easily Audiosurf's greatest, inevitable shortcoming: a game that generates what could be interpreted as its note placement off-the-cuff will never quite be able to match the meticulous refinement found in the likes of Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
But this is hardly a deal breaker. For one thing, the random generation is pretty good, and in many ways any imperfections are harmonious with the chaotic nature of the visual tracks that have been born from the audio ones. Audiosurf isn't so generous as to scroll its bricks towards the player at a consistent pace – the speed at which the track is traversed is up to the music, and if the selected track wants to indulge a sudden burst of tempo, then prepare to adjust your projected trajectory to cater for the fact that you'll soon be speeding downhill and facing a much more brutal brick onslaught.
In terms of its visuals, Audiosurf has settled on a look that could be described as artfully sterile. The visuals are very clean, and unnaturally smooth. But they're never boring: with all the effects maxed out the background becomes rife with activity, and the course itself appears to suffer a seizure. And if that's not enough, Audiosurf also empowers its players with basic Photoshop-style customisation, allowing for a choice of background colour as well as a few screen filter effects. Appropriate really, as customising the experience seems to be a recurring, welcome theme in this game.
The Verdict
Everything about Audiosurf smacks of a polished product that has been born from clear, focused ambition that never overreaches itself. The basic fusion of the core puzzle gameplay and the dynamic spin that the music applies to this is delightfully successful in itself, but is stretched even further by a drive for perfection. The medals awarded in accordance to the score generosity of the chosen song may be fairly dispensable, but this is a game that will enjoy buzzing online leader boards (with a leader board created for every song). As addictive as a post-Tetris puzzle game can hope to be and only US $10, Audiosurf is both a successful proof of concept and a potentially endlessly enjoyable piece of gaming.

Google Exec Has High Expectations for Nexus Series Camera Quality
Smartphone cameras have come a long way over the past several years, but despite awe-inspiring models like Nokia's 808 PureView, there's still a lot of work left to be done. In a recent Google+ post, Google's Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President of Engineering, was musing about whether or not he should bring his DSLR along on a trip, and the ensuing conversation got him talking about the future of imaging tech in Nexus phones.
Responding to a comment about the desire to see smartphones taking DSLR-quality shots, Gundotra responded, "we are committed to making Nexus phones insanely great cameras. Just you wait and see."
Now, we're not about to read that as the official party line that cameras are a priority, as we'd assume that Google in general would like to see every part of its Nexus models be superior-quality components, but it's nonetheless nice to know that its execs are at least thinking about cameras. Once Google's influence over Motorola starts showing, we'll have to pay special attention to see just what kind of focus is placed on the imaging systems of those future models.

...I keep saying people have died who havent, others who have. I usually simply cut and paste what Jacci writes, but do editorialize a bit. You'll see in this cut and paste that Henriquetta does not (praise G-d) have AIDS.
So Here is what Jacci Wrote (Dan, take note, Henrequetta is on the "stories" page)
Hello Pamela,
It has been a while since we have been in touch.
How are you doing health wise? The abuelos still ask for you so let me know so I can give them an update on you.
Thanks for sending the message from Esi. I presume that she sent money to help me when "I was s tranded in London". She should have come to visit me!
She is the first person that I have heard that responded to the message. I hope there were not any others.
We were talking about you t oday. We meaning Sergio Guzman and I . He is here for two weeks. In September he is going to Thailand for two weeks. I thought of you when he said that. He also asked how Enriqueta was and he said that on your write up on Los Martincitos you said she has aids. I do not believe that is true. So I think it would be good to eliminate that point.
Los Martincitos moves along as always. We have had fewer volunteers due to the financial crisis but this week there are eight at the program. We have not had that many in ages and some weeks we have had none. This also means that the donations are down.
We are in the middle of the ugly time of year.But I just move ahead and try not to think about it.
We will have Mass with Father Juan tomorrow and your name is usually placed on the list for prayers so you will be remembered tomorrow.
Saludos a Stanley!

important Eco 7.8.5 & 8.1.4 Survival Game - [CRACKED DOWNLOAD]
NeO_Anderson posted a topic in Eco Game DiscussionHey all, so I totally discovered what appears to be a really awesome game. It's still in beta/alpha stage so I imagine there are bugs and so on... but it seems to be playable and looks really fun. Unfortunately the player base seems rather small/non-existent but it still looks like a fun game. On the offset it looks like an improved version of Minecraft where the environment and working together take center stage. Eco Current Server Version: 7.8.5 & 8.1.4 (eco.team-neo.com & eco.team-neo.com:3002) Current Game Version: 7.8.5 & 8.1.4 Eco PC Game Overview: Eco is developed and published by Strange Loop Games. It was released in 6 Feb, 2018. Enter the world of Eco, a fully simulated ecosystem bustling with thousands of growing plants and animals living their lives. Build, harvest, and take resources from an environment where your every action affects the world around you. An imminent meteor strike threatens global destruction. Can you save the world without destroying it in the process? Construct buildings and towns, tend to your farm, hunt wildlife, build infrastructure and transportation, craft clothing, build power plants, and research new technologies. Specialize in a craft and trade your goods to other players. Develop your civilization and sculpt your planet. Key Fetures: Online Multiplayer – Collaborate online with a community of players. Over 30 different craft tables, with hundreds of recipes. Hundreds of items, skills, craft tables, and building blocks. A simulated ecosystem with dozens of unique species. With limited carrying capacity, players must create vehicles and networks of roads to transport materials. Create your own backed or fiat currencies, using them as a means of exchange in the economy. Collaborate with other players to build the perfect civilization in a world where everything you do affects the environment. Installation: For 8.1.4: 1) Run 'Eco Launcher.exe' & set your name in the box. 2) Click the Play button 3) If you're asked to enter a username or password, do so. 4) Join server listed below. For 8.0.5: 1) You need to install Steam http://www.steampowered.com 2) Create a Steam account or use your normal one. (We would suggest creating a new one though as its best not to use cracked games with legit account) 3) Run Launcher.exe preferbly as Administrator 3) If you're asked to enter a username or password, do so. 4) Join server listed below. For 7.8.5: 1) Run Eco.exe preferbly as Administrator 2) Use any combination of password and username that you prefer. It does not matter what password. 3) Join the server listed below. Our Server: If you already have the game, simply click "Join" , "Add Server" and enter the address shown below in green: Server Address 1: eco.team-neo.com:3002 (search for 'Team-NeO' in the server list if you can't add it) (This is for 8.0.5) Server Address 2: eco.team-neo.com (search for 'Team-NeO' in the server list if you can't add it) (This is for 7.8.5) Download: Download Eco 7.8.5 Download: Download Eco 8.1.4 If you do not have the game: You can download it from the link above, extract the contents to wherever you want the game to be and run the Eco.exe file this will start the game. Once ingame you will see a username and password box. The password box is completely irrelevant so enter whatever you want in there but make sure you will remember this, if you reinstall the game or switch computers, you will need this password in order to gain access to your account again, the username box will be the name others will see you as in-game. Hit login and it will pop up with some pointless joke message, and click "Join". Add our server as shown above in green text and you're all set. Important Notes: 1) As this game is still in 'Beta' there are some issues with it. Lag and instability is one. If the server is down, please @NeO_Anderson on discord. PS: Any problems or questions, message me :)
Server Rules / Info
NeO_Anderson posted a topic in Server Support & DownloadsArk: Survival Evolved Server [CRACKED] Current server feature(s): Taming speed boosted Gathering Resources speed boosted Experience Gained is boosted Gamma settings Enabled/Allowed Boosted Breeding and Maturing Our ARK Evolved Server has the following rule(s): Do not block or build in caves or other areas of the map that are deemed important. If you're unsure , ask an admin or post on the forum. Do not use any form of 'cheat' or 'hack'. Be respectful to each other, especially new comers. Whilst raiding is fun and a part of the game, please try to avoid raiding new comers as they obviously won't have anything anyway and you're only ruining the gaming experience for them. If we find that you're making the lives of our players hell for the fun of it, we will take action. Tribe leaders and members are responsible for the action(s) of their own Tribe members/leaders. If one of you violates the rule, we will treat this as a TRIBE not an individual. If you for any reason suspect a tribe member of possible rule violations, remove them. Admin(s) will issue punishments to the tribe regardless. Harsh? Maybe... but these rules aren't exactly complicated or difficult to follow. If any of the rules above are deemed by an admin to have been broken he/she can issue any punishment they see fit which CAN include deleting everything you've ever done on the server. Admin(s) do not have to give you prior warning to issuing punishment if they find evidence to support and confirm a rule break.

[CLOSED] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: You did not post the answers to the questions we required (shown below) You did not respond within a reasonable time to a question we asked or statement we posed. You created multiple unban requests. The unban request was incorrectly posted or is now resolved without any action needed from us. [uNBANNED] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: An admin has approved the request and has 'unbanned' you. [DECLINED] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: Your unban request has been declined. The reason(s) will usually be stated in the last reply to the topic which will then be locked. There's no overturning this decision.

Note: There is no time scale on when or if we accept. We will monitor you over a period of time, and providing you have complied with our code of conduct shown here: http://www.team-neo.com/adminconduct.php which is not restricted to just "admins" its for everyone.

[READ FIRST] How to react & deal with 'Cheaters'.
NeO_Anderson posted a topic in Troublesome Minecraft PlayersA note to everyone. If you see someone cheating, the first thing you need to do, is check if someone with banning power is online and available. At the moment, any headadmin has the power to ban as do Level 8 Admins. So check if any of them are in-game or on IRC and whether they can come in and look at the cheater. If they can, then do NOT shout out cheater! or anything simliiar to that. This includes things like kicking, warning e.t.c Why? because if you tell it obvious that we're onto them what are they going to do? They will disable their cheats or leave the server. That results in us not being able to ban them as we did not see them using illegal mods. So, what SHOULD you do? Firstly as mentioned above. Check whether someone with banning power is available. Whether they're on IRC or ingame. Quietly contact them in PM. If none are available do the following: 1) Capture evidence! that can be a couple screenshots of them flying around or video recordings of them speeding down a path. 2) If you have the ability to warn, issue a warning. 3) Upload your evidence to any website of your choice and create a topic here with links to the evidence so that we can check it out and decide whether it is evidence that we can actually use against them or not and take whatever action is deemed appropriate. 4) You may use whatever commands you have at your disposal to help reduce their rampage, whether it's /jailing or kicking. But this should ONLY be done if noone is available to ban them. Thank you.
[READ FIRST] Want to be unbanned? or post a reply to someones request? read here.
NeO_Anderson posted a topic in Unban RequestsHow can I be unbanned? This all depends on why/when/how you got banned. If you were banned for violating rules and you agree the ban is valid. Then you can post here to express your apologies and beg for forgiveness. This does not mean you will be unbanned - this means you're asking nicely to be unbanned and it will be down to either the admin that banned you, or HeadAdmin(s) to lift the ban. No one else can do it if the ban is valid and justified. If the ban is not justified and you feel that the ban placed is invalid meaning you did not commit the crime that you're banned for, then you must goto: http://appeal.team-neo.comwhich is the appeals page. Invalid bans can ONLY be processed by a HeadAdmin and whatever decision is made, is final. This is all done on the Appeals page. What are the tags? [INCOMPLETE] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: You did not post the answers to the questions we required (shown below) You did not respond within a reasonable time to a question we asked or statement we posed. You created multiple unban requests. The unban request was incorrectly posted or is now resolved without any action needed from us. [UNBANNED] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: An admin has approved the request and has 'unbanned' you. [DENIED] = This will be given to an unban request in the following scenarios: Your unban request has been declined. The reason(s) will usually be stated in the last reply to the topic which will then be locked. If you wish to appeal this decision you can do so via the website. http://www.team-neo.com. Appeals will be processed by HeadAdmins. What must I include in my unban request? You should copy and paste the following statement and include the relevant answer(s): Who can unban me? Only the admin that banned you has the power to unban you. Other admins can comment and provide feedback or point out corrections that you need to make to your unban request but ultimately, only the admin that originally banned you or a Senior Admin+ can issue the unban command. Who can post replies? The only people that should be posting replies to unban requests should be Verified players or higher and of course the banned player. This is to keep the forum clean and the information provided accurate. All other posts can/will be deleted and the poster issued with a warning.

NeO_Anderson posted a topic in Verified Player RequestsHello all! If you're interested in becoming a Verified Player for the minecraft server, please post your interest here. Please include the following a short description of why you would like to become a Verified Player. Note: This is JUST to express your interest in wanting to become Verified and is not treated as an application. As such there is no "Accepted" or "Denied" that will be given here until we decide to accept which has no specific time frame, it's just to let everyone know that you're looking to take the first step to joining Team-NeO. That being said, if we do mark it as "Denied" it would indicate you have done something significant to warrant instant denial. Rules: 1) Don't ask the "status" of your request or whether or not you can be made Verified yet. This also includes asking things along the line of can you "review" my request. 2) Post only one request. (Unless you your old request was denied and you've allowed at least 14 days since your last request was denied. If there's no date of the decline, you may apply again immidiately)

2016 was the year that I fell back in love with Nars (no, I still don't know how to deal with the compact) and the love didn't stop in 2017. I now have several more of their duos and need to go through them one by one.
Hammamet was released back in spring 16 and with the growing popularity of burnished orange and matte finish, it's more relevant than ever before.
The duo includes a matte warm spiced beige and a coppery rose gold on the right (the matte beige looks blotchy swatched but so much better worn).
The copper rose is every bit as special as I expected: Smooth, blendable, melty on the skin with no patchy boundary. The matte beige is very wearable on its own as well, it gives a subtle warm definition that looks polished but not heavily made up. The texture of both pan are superb and I couldn't have asked for a better shade combo.
A quick look with matte beige allover and copper to shade, picture was taken a while back when I still got a bit of sunlight. The purple down below is Lunasol Purple Gradation (that I tried very hard to wipe off but failed) .
So...I like it a lot and will get some masking tape (to wrap the compact) so I can reach for it more often.

Certification programs at the federal, state and local level are all geared to help small disadvantaged firms enjoy more opportunities to compete for contract dollars. The key to picking the certifications that will benefit your company is to first determine which entities you want to do business with; then, find out which certification programs they recognize.
With the exception of certain contracts that are "set aside" for only certified firms, you are not required to be certified to be eligible to bid on contracts. However, being certified as a woman-owned, minority or otherwise disadvantaged business can give your company a competitive advantage.
If you want to do business with the federal government or its large prime contractors, look at becoming certified as an 8(a) contractor. To find information about this and other small business programs, which are administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, click here. If your business is located in a distressed area, you might qualify for HUBZone certification. To find out, click here.
If you want to sell to State of Texas agencies, apply for certification as a HUB, or Historically Underutilized Business, vendor. The HUB program is administered by the Texas Building and Procurement Commission. Application forms can be found here.
Local entities such as the City of Houston and METRO also have certification programs, although METRO's certification is based solely on business size, not on the owner's race or gender. To find information on the City's program, click here ; for METRO, click here.
To sell to large corporations such as Reliant Energy or Continental Airlines, investigate the certifications available through the Women's Business Enterprise Alliance and/or the Houston Minority Supplier Development Council. Certification through these two organizations means more than just access to contract opportunities; there are also opportunities for networking with potential customers, as well as training and education to help you improve your business management skills. If you are a woman-owned business, click here; minority-owned businesses, click here.
In order to determine if any of these areas are suited for your business, contact us to set up a time to meet and discuss.

The number one reason treatment centers fail is lack of proper marketing. Learn about how important it is through this blog.
4 Crucial Steps to Setting Your Plastic Surgery Marketing Budget
5 Email Marketing Tips for Dentists
4 Dental Marketing Ideas the Pros Use
Are looking for ways of boosting your dental practice and attract more clients to your clinic? An effective dental marketing strategy is the answer. Typically, for your dental practice to grow, you need to be seeing between 24 and 50 patients every month.
However, offering competitive products at competitive prices isn't enough to attract new clients. You need to put in place an effective dental marketing plan that will help you reach potential customers. We've compiled for you four simple dental marketing ideas that will help your practice attract more clients. Read on to find out.
Build Long-Lasting Relationships with Your Patients
Ask yourself whether the relationship you have established with your patients is strong enough to make them recommend their friends and other family members to your clinic. Is it strong enough such that if you decide to include whitening, x-ray, or examination offers from your next direct mail won't sound like a temptation to them?
Learn to speak to your patients politely and treat them the way they want to be treated. This is the most important thing that your clients want from you. It's not about whether they want an Invisalign or not. Greet your patients and welcome them to your office with a warm smile even before you start asking them about their problems. Keep in mind that building long-lasting relationships will result in referrals and that is you move your practice forward.
Use Video
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and it's true since videos are pictures in motion. Video is the new thing in town since its faster, cheaper, and exciting than ever. A majority of your prospective clients spend a lot of their time on YouTube.
Promoting your practice through video will help your prospective clients get to know you. You can be in all places at all times through the use of video to advertise your practice. Hire a person that specializes in dental video production to help you stand out from your peers.
Build an Email List to Stay in Touch with Your Clients
Building an email list is one of the best ways of building and sustaining relationships with your clients. Being in touch with them at all times leads to repeat visits, and the same clients will also spread word about your practice. Keep in mind that a satisfied client is the best marketing strategy that you can have.

Regulatory Requirements for Running a Dental Practice
Starting and running a successful dental practice is a challenging process. From OSHA to HIPAA, there are a lot of requirements and regulations that need to be met to be allowed to operate. Staying on top of these requirements and regulations often becomes complicated and incredibly stressful – the process can be such a dream killer for young aspiring entrepreneurs looking to start a dental practice. Here is a checklist of regulatory requirements to adhere to when running your dental practice:
Occupational Safety and Health
OSHA has a list of occupational health and safety guidelines that must be followed when running a dental practice. It's essential that you, the practice owner, and your employees read through all OSHA requirements to ensure that all the details are adhered to. Failure to meet the occupational safety and health standards can lead to the closure of your practice.
Dental Insurance
Even before you open the doors to your new dental clinic, ensure that you have the necessary insurance in place. Insurance requirements for the practice may vary depending on state laws, but it's always important to ensure that you are protected against legal costs and liability. Most importantly, ensure that HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) are met.
Privacy Law
HIPAA is the federal law that provides the United States citizenry with better access to health insurance. The HIPAA law was enacted in an attempt to control healthcare fraud and abuse. Likewise, it ensures portability when employees change employers. Professionally run dental practices do not openly share patient information with others, so you may be wondering how HIPAA can affect your dental practice.
The HIPAA regulation has two arms: the privacy standards and the transactions and code set arm. The former requires dental practices to ensure the implementation of a plan that prohibits the misuse of Protected Healthcare Information and protects patient confidentiality. The HIPAA privacy rule is enforced by Health and Human Services (HHS). The body uses criminal (jail) and civil (fines) penalties to hold violators to account. The rule calls for the use appropriate safeguards to protect healthcare information. It helps patients see how their information is used and what disclosures are made.
Dental Licensing
You will be required to apply and obtain a range of dental licenses to operate a dental practice. There is a variety of local laws and requirements to follow when starting or operating a dental practice, so the licensing will vary from state to state. Some of the said laws and licensing requirements include state business licenses, zoning permits, tax registration, and much more.
Other regulations that apply to dental clinics involve items used in a dental clinic including dental supplies and dental stationery. With all these laws and regulations to follow, organization skills, as well as proper planning, are imperative to the successful running of a dental practice in the United States. Start the preparations for owning a dental practice as early as possible, the third year of your dental school is the ideal time to start preparing for practice ownership.

This takes a little longer from start to finish than the easier loaf recipe I have posted before, but it is now the only one I make when the bread making urge (or necessity) comes over me. When I really get on a roll and am making two to three loaves a week this is fantastic as from the initial batch of dough you keep a little back to go into the next loaf you make, so a very easy form of sour dough if you like. The longer you do this type of recipe, popping the old dough into the new, cutting a little from the batch and keeping it safe in a bag until the next time(I have left it a week before now and the old dough is still good to use) the tastier your loaves will become.
My thanks to Rosa Jackson which is where I came across the recipe, I had another envy moment as she has met Dan Lepard, I would so love to have a chat with him! Her recipe is here.I always make this as one big loaf, slashed across to make a tiger style loaf. I think the more you score it the fuller the loaf becomes. I also use Dan's method of kneading briefly every 15 minutes or so rather than one knead.
I forgot to turn my oven down a couple of times so tried baking this loaf at a slightly lower temperature for the whole time, it works very successfully(and I think even helps the crust), so have chosen that temperature for this.
Placing a casserole dish onto a lower shelf and then filling it with cold water when the oven is hot as you put the bread in will help immeasurably with the crust, it comes as close to the baker's ovens as you can do at home. You will get a face full of steam, and the quicker you do this and get the door shut the better!
600g plain flour (or a mix of wholemeal and white 30:70)
1 level teaspoon salt
8g fresh yeast, or 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
400ml warm water
a little oil for the worktop and your hands, or a little extra flour for kneading
***If you are going to try incorporating old dough after this than your quantities are:
500g flour
a little less than one level teaspoon salt
330ml warm water
8g fresh yeast / 1 tsp dried yeast
your reserved old yeast
- Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix the water and yeast in a jug until it has thoroughly dissolved, then add to the flour, and mix until well combined.
- Oil or flour your work surface (I alternate depending on mood, but more often choose flouring), and turn out your dough. Knead for about thirty seconds, (add the old dough if you are using and knead it in until well incorporated) and return to the bowl, covering with a towel or wrapping with a plastic bag.
- Knead another two times at fifteen(ish) minute intervals, for a minimum of thirty seconds, a maximum of a couple of minutes. If you want to bake regularly then take approximately 150g of dough, bag it up and pop it in the fridge. Leave a little space for growth in the bag!
- Leave to rise for about one and a half to two hours, until the dough has doubled in size and really soft and easy to press down, you shouldn't feel much resistance.
- Turn out onto your work surface, and knead all the air out, then roll up your dough into a oval loaf shape, patting the edges under, and place onto a floured baking tray. With a very sharp non-serrated knife score the top of the loaf as many times as you would like, a cross is fine, I choose long scores across about one inch apart.
- Cover again, and leave to swell for about forty five minutes, and pre-heat your oven to gas mark 7, not forgetting to put a good sized dish in on a lower shelf to heat up too for the water.
- When the oven is hot and your bread has about halved again in size, get about a pint of cold water, open the door, pour into the dish quickly, get the bread onto the highest shelf and shut the door.
- Bake for about forty minutes, check half way through and turn if needed. When it is a beautiful golden brown, take out, place on a cooling rack, and try to let it cool, before slicing!

"The goddess can be recognized by her step." Virgil, Aeneid
This maneuver extracts the practice of walking from the daily activities of the cook. We understand walking as the basic building-block of cooking: pacing, laps, foraging, hurriedness, retrieval, rush, detours, turns, leaps, caution, directness… An activity that is multiple.
Every series of steps carries its own signature, a style. Every step inscribes trajectories and spatializes. In conjunction, the step and the series form a maneuver. As we see it, this maneuver has no beginning or end, since the step quickly runs onto the page and turns into the letter, word, and sentence. With a proper leap of lightness, walking becomes writing, just as writing becomes mood, or atmosphere.
Furthermore, walking determines the quality of the line (written, drawn, stepped). It provides specific properties to the movement and a set of dispositions to the mover. Maps of all sorts are created in order to extract essences of these line-qualities. The walking can be done by feet, hands, thoughts, utensils… Sometimes even the fingers have to dance and create their own lines.
Walking, then, becomes a spatial growth process as paths, roads, and even cities are cut (tread) into a landscape. Even the crystallization of molecules follows this procedure (epicurean swerve). Lines produce forms. Yet traces cannot fully capture the spatial practice; walking drives, tests, and transgresses with every step. In the short distance of a step, a long, un-mappable cosmos is cast. Mushroom maps of the forager-composer John Cage come as good templates for this approximation:
"Nur die ergangenen Gedanken haben Werth."
Friedrich Nietzsche, Die Götzen-Dämmerung, §34
Our peripatetic cuisine incorporates wandering as its basis. An atmospheric movement, we are cast by the wind and struck - as if by lightning - by ideas and sensations. Our resulting creations carry the traces of the walk, its qualities diagramming every step.
This maneuver has led to a series of productions:
1. Soundings Postmortem
2. Fieldtrips
3. Maps
4. Epiphanies
