Moments earlier, the woman had been startled from sleep from a ruckus and people downstairs. Two men had tried to force their way into the home but her teenage children locked the door on them.
The men then broke the door down and entered the home. The men were unarmed, the mother was not.
Hearing the commotion, she had grabbed her .25 caliber handgun. When the two men entered, she protected her children and told the men to leave the home. The men ignored her and continued advancing towards her.
Bad move. She opened fire and struck one of the intruders. When police arrived they took both suspects into custody. I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear that both men have criminal records and one is currently under court supervision.
McHenry County Undersheriff Andrew Zinke had plenty of praise for the mother,
"The mother deserves a lot of credit. She was dealing with a violent situation. She was protecting her home and her children with the only means she had. She was incredibly brave and likely prevented any of her children from getting hurt."

Some qualities of a healthcare advertising agency are necessary: strategic depth, conceptual creativity, experienced medical copywriting, excellent design, great chemistry. But other qualities that lots of agencies have–and try to persuade their customers are very important–are meaningless and, in fact, may lower the value of the work they deliver. When selecting a partner to assist with pharmaceutical advertising, medical device advertising, hospital advertising, or any other kinds of Medical Marketing, four qualities are particularly unimportant.
A "cool" office
Many ad agency principals love possessing a "cool" office. They view it as proof of their agency's creativity. A few clients could even view it that way too.
By all means, an advertisement agency must provide a comfy and stimulating atmosphere for their staff. But a majority of clients know who's paying for the agency's ping-pong tables, stocked refrigerator, as well as other amenities: the clients are. The cool office is covered in the agency fees.
Don't get hung up on the "edifice complex"–many outstanding agencies have very modest offices. Some excellent "virtual" agencies do not have office at all. Their overhead is low, their people don't have to commute to function (and this alone generally makes them happier-and potentially more productive-than the average worker), and their clients get more for money: more value, cheaper overhead.
A sizable staff
An agency's biggest expense is its people. But way too many agencies have way a lot of people. It is very important maintain the critical mass required to meet clients' needs. But layers and layers of staff-account supervisors, account executives, account coordinators-not only enhance the costs; they can increase the confusion.
If they're lucky, a client will continue to work closely and consistently with one agency team fulfilling the core functions: account service, copywriting, art direction, and traffic management (overseeing the scheduling and flow of your own jobs through the agency). Another functions–market research, media planning, digital programming, print production, and so forth–are often shared across teams within an agency. So even though your agency has 500 employees, you'll likely work most often with not more than a half dozen. The secret is to keep up continuity within your team. A lot of agencies have a "revolving door," with personnel frequently coming and going. As a client, which makes your advertising more expensive-your agency constantly must bring new team members approximately speed.
A "traditional" structure
Mad Menis swell, but it's a period of time piece. The old-fashioned agency structure–account service in one department distinct from (and often at odds with) the creatives in another department–is archaic.
In today's environment, a good copywriter is yet another good strategist and it is regulatory-savvy. Likewise a good art director. As well as the account executive is over a "messenger" ferrying client requests for the agency and agency requests for the client-the AE is strategic-minded, tactical-minded, and doing work in concert with all the creatives along with with media, research, as well as other agency functions to produce the very best communication solutions possible.
The lowest rates
Choosing an agency mainly because their rates are the lowest can be a costly mistake. Instead, demand references. Then ask the references regarding the agency's cost structure as well as the value they deliver–satisfied clients are likely to say, "They're not cheap, but they're worth it!"
Pinching pennies compromises the standard of your agency's work. Advertising agencies aren't cheap–good, experienced talent has to be compensated accordingly. But consider the consequences of your own decision–compromising on the ahvowl from the branding and marketing of the healthcare services or products compromises its chances for success.
In looking for a healthcare advertising agency partner, put the greatest increased exposure of those qualities you require most: strategic depth, creative talent, and good chemistry. De-emphasize the four least important qualities: an excellent office, a big staff, a "classic" structure, and the lowest rates. Choosing an agency is a huge decision. Make sure that, for the right reasons, you select the right healthcare advertising agency.

Back when my boys were kids, I stumbled into an idea that was seriously one of the best things I ever did for all of us. In summer, when the days were more relaxed and we had more time to
be in each other's hair enjoy each other's company, I had them each plan and prepare one meal per week. The whole thing: finding a recipe, checking to see what ingredients we didn't have, preparing the shopping list, selecting the items they needed when we went to the store, prepping, cooking, and cleaning up.
When I first proposed this, I recall them being excited. The novelty wore off fast 🙂 but we stuck with it. My feeling has always been that my primary jobs as a parent are to keep my kids safe and prepare them for independent life, and really, what's more essential than the ability to cook your own food? I'll be honest: this was more work for me in their first years in the kitchen. There were constant questions and explanations and panicked reminders that we don't hold knives that way. But as time went by, they grew more confidant and capable, and I was able to leave more and more of the work to them.
I knew it had been the right choice when my oldest was in his first college home outside a dorm – a summer rental he shared with half a dozen other kids. He was astounded that most of them had no idea how to cook (or clean, or plunge a toilet, or other issues, but those are topics for another day.) I will never forget sitting in a baseball game with him while he thanked me repeatedly for making him learn how to do those things. Oh, how sweet it was.
These days, HRH (now 13) looks forward to making a different Chinese dish each week. (Cooking lessons plus she gets to explore her cultural heritage. Double win.) Tsarina is only 8, so we're still at the basic levels, making things like mashed potatoes. But she'll get there. And we'll all be glad she did.

Homeowners and others know that there is often much more to preparing your property for winter than simply mowing and trimming the grass and putting away the lawn furniture. It can also mean pruning trees, shrubs, roses and other flowers. In addition, it may involve cutting down overgrown areas and even replacing some equipment and planters.
One of the results of all this pruning, sprucing up and thinning out, however, is piles of yard debris. In fact, it doesn't take long to have more "green" trash than your residential-sized green recycling can hold. So, then the challenge becomes, "What do I do with all the branches, vines, leaves, stumps, and everything else?"
Yard Waste Can Quickly Become a Problem
Yard waste isn't just all those piles of trimmings and grass you still need to rake up. It can also include other types of yard junk. And, sometimes, when your fall yard clean up and winter prep takes on larger proportions, the results are going to require some major hauling to dispose of it all.
Fall cleaning or landscaping projects can generate large amounts of waste and debris. And all this needs to be disposed of somehow. If you have a large property this is probably going to mean hauling it away themselves or finding some other disposal solution. The good news is that homeowners can recycle that waste into valuable mulch and compost.
One easy way to do this is to rent a chip shredder or mulcher, which can turn most of your dead branches and clippings into mulch. You can then combine this with your lawn clippings to then spread back onto your landscaping. As a result, you can produce your own great mulch for sustaining and conditioning the soil. And it serves as organic fertilizer, as well.
In addition, you can create a permanent compost pile situated in a compost container, so you can repeat the process every year.
While these are good ideas, they may not work for every home or property. In those cases, you still have to figure out the best way to get rid of it all. The fact is that debris disposal can be a challenge for many people, especially if they are older and live alone, or don't have a suitable vehicle for hauling yard trimmings, brush and other landscaping debris. Even asking someone else to help is not always an option for everyone.
This is when having a professional junk hauling service really begins to make sense.
What About Your Old Lawnmower and Landscaping Equipment?
As a homeowner, you invest in your house and, most likely, your yard and landscaping. And these means having the proper tools and equipment. But your garden and yard tools and equipment get old and break down. So, in addition to finding new life for your trimmings as mulch, you might have to find new life for old tools and equipment or invest in replacements.
And, if you replace tools and equipment, you'll end up with an old lawn mower or sprayer to get rid of. Maybe it's a broken tree trimmer, a dead leaf blower or a worn-out chainsaw. But how do you dispose of these items? You can't just throw them into your residential trash bin and put it out on the curb. These items are often too big and contaminated with oil and gas.
So, what do you do?
The good news is that pretty much anything you need to replace can either be re-used or recycled. For example, if the item can be repaired, there are many options for used, but working, equipment. Something as simple as donating them can be a great and beneficial way of giving new life to your old equipment.
Maybe your old lawnmower is still working well enough for someone else to use. Items like this can be taken to a donation center. Like recycling, reuse of old tools and equipment can be even more environmentally friendly. And it is easy to do.
Another option is repurposing some items. This can be done in a variety of ways. For example, you might find that your old, broken wheelbarrows can be used as planters and outdoor storage bins for small garden items. If you are a creative type, you can make a great centerpiece in a flower garden with an old wheelbarrow.
Heavy-duty rake heads, for example, can be removed from broken handles, mounted on a fence or garden shed wall, and used hangers for other equipment or garden gloves. Other ideas involve the long handles from rakes and shovels, which can be reused for a variety of purposes. There are a wide variety of possibilities for what you can do with old tools and garden equipment.
Some items are beyond repair, however. Fortunately, the materials they're made of can often be recycled. Many electric tools are constructed of plastics and other materials, which can also be recycled, as well. Scrap metal is a huge market for recycling and lawnmowers and other largely metal landscaping tools can be broken down into their different parts, cleaned of gasoline or other substances, and then recycled.
The point here is that recycling isn't just for yard clippings and compost debris. It is a great option for and old large tools and equipment like lawnmowers, chainsaws, leave blowers, and wheelbarrows.
In addition to tools and old equipment, sometimes you also find that you've still got unwanted, old Halloween decorations, used holiday gift wrapping or even dried-up Christmas trees still taking up space in your side yard, garage or garden shed. With large amounts of debris like this you'll likely find that your regular garbage can just isn't big enough.
So, what do you do with all this junk and yard waste?
Call on Professionals for Yard Waste and Junk Removal
You certainly don't want to let that waste sit around. In fact, one of the worst things you can do is to your lawn is to create piles of debris and landscaping waste only to leave it sitting on your property until next spring. Not only is it unsightly, it can also be a potential hazard to your family
And, because you don't want the trash to pile up all winter, you can try to haul it all away yourself. But, really, hiring a yard waste removal company to come and haul away the mess is the better way to go
Perhaps you haven't ever considered calling a professional junk hauling firm for yard waste. In fact, you may think that even large amounts of trimmings, foliage, and organic debris might is an odd thing for a junk removal company to deal with. Not at all!
At Junk King, for example, we can remove most all types of yard debris and waste, such as branches, clippings, stumps, soil, sod and other landscaping debris.
In addition, we can remove and haul other types of junk and debris left from residential landscaping and improvement projects, including:
- Fencing
- Lumber
- Old Timber
- Sheetrock
- Door Frames
- Windows
- Shingles
- Corrugated Metal
Because junk accumulation can build up over the spring and summer, you want to get rid of it before you have to deal with the winter weather. As we pointed out, Autumn is a good time to go through your yard and property and do some thorough cleaning up. If you're a gardener, it's time to break out your winter mulch and your trowel.
Of course, this means that you're going to have piles of empty bags, unwanted garden items and maybe even old lawn furniture that you just can't find a place for any more.
And it's likely that you may already have bags of yard waste, like branches, mulch or clippings, that kept piling up through the spring and summer. Having to take them to the dump is time consuming and burdensome – and that's you even have a vehicle that can handle it all.
The Expert Team for Your Yard Debris
As we've noted here, yard waste can come in many forms. Sometimes rain storms can leave tree branches strewn across your yard. Maybe you've undertaken a gardening or landscaping project that's left dirt and debris everywhere. Or it may simply be a large amount of junk and clutter in your yard that you haven't had time to clean up.
Whatever it may be, Junk King provides an efficient, safe and eco-friendly yard waste removal service so you don't need to worry about the pick up or disposal of your yard debris. Our experienced debris removal team will break down and haul off any types of yard waste you have. Unlike the backseat of your car, our junk removal trucks are made to handle those dirty yard debris items.
Ready to get rid of your yard waste? We make it simple. Make an appointment by booking online above or by calling 1.888.888.JUNK (5865). Our professional and insured yard waste removal team will show up at your home or office, and we'll call 15 minutes before we arrive on site. Once there we'll give you a free estimate based on how much room your junk takes up in our truck. You just point, and we haul the debris into our junk removal trucks, with no hidden fees.

Science can be an exciting subject, especially for kids.
By doing some simple science experiments, kids are able to learn more about the world around them and have fun trying out new concepts. In this article, I'll detail 4 exciting experiments that are simple, inexpensive, entertaining, and teach your child all about the wonders of static electricity.
A) Half & Half Flower
What you'll need:
* 2 test tubes or small glasses
* A flower with white petals
* Food coloring
* Water
* Something to cut a flower stem in half
Step 1: Fill two test tubes or small glasses with water. Put a few drops of food coloring into each; I usually use red and blue.
Step2: Take a flower with white petals (I like to use carnations, because they come out looking the best) and split the stem down the middle. Make sure to stop just before reaching the flower. At this point it will look like a flower with two skinny stems.
Step 3: Place half of the stem in the blue water and half of the stem in the red water. A few hours later you will have a beautifully colored flower – half red and half blue!
Why does it work?
The stem of the flower contains tiny capillaries that transport food and water to the flower. These capillaries stay intact even when the stem is split into two halves. The water and nutrients (and dye, in this case) then travel to the petals of the flower, each stem half transporting a different color. As the petals allow the water to be given off, the dye is trapped – the result is an amazingly colored flower!
B) Vacation Watering
What you'll need:
* A bottle (large or small, depending on the size of the area you will be watering)
* Water
* Potted plant, flower box, or a small patch of garden
Step 1: Fill a bottle with water.
Step2: Turn the bottle upside down and bury the open end a few inches into the soil of your plant(s).
Step 3: Be amazed as the plants water themselves for up to one week!
Why does it work?
When the soil is dry the water will flow and bubble out of the bottle, saturating the dirt until the soil is soaked. As time passes, and the soil becomes dry again, air will enter the bottle; you will see bubbles rise in the bottle as the soil is watered again. Now ask yourself: is it easier for water to travel through hard packed or soft soil?
C) Osmosis with Peas
What you'll need:
* A glass (a champagne flute or wine glass produces the best effect)
* Dried peas
* Water
Step 1: Fill a glass with dried peas.
Step2: Slowly pour enough water into the glass so that the water level reaches the brim. Watch as the peas grow and topple out of the glass hour after hour!
Why does it work?
This experiment is osmosis in action! As the water penetrates through the pea skins, into the inner cells of the peas, they stretch and swell until they no longer fit in the glass all together.
The same principle applies to plant cells. Simply put, if a plant doesn't get enough water it will wilt as the plant cells shrink and shrivel. However, when enough water is taken in by the plant, the plant cells are stretched and the plant grows and thrives.
D) Jar of Rainforest
What you'll need:
* A freshly cut, green twig with leaves still attached
* A small glass
* A large jar
* Water
* Cooking oil
Step 1: Put a leafy green twig into a glass of water.
Step2: Pour a layer of oil slowly into the glass of water.
Step 3: Put the glass in indirect sunlight and cover it with the large jar. After a while "raindrops" will appear on the sides of the jar, creating a humid environment within the jar.
Why does it work?
By covering the water with oil, you are forcing the water droplets to come from only one place – the leaves of the twig. This is because the water in the glass cannot get through the layer of oil, and instead the water must travel through the tiny epidermal pores of the leaves. Since the moist air is then heated by the indirect sunlight, droplets appear, and you have a rainforest environment in a jar!

In the following years Michael worked on brands like AirBnB, NIKE, Mercedes Benz, Vodafone, SKY and Ferrero, and helped them to achieve nothing at all. He contributed nothing at agencies like GREY, Scholz&Friends, VCCP and Jung von Matt. And recently he returned to VCCP as their Head of TV for absolutely no reason.

Loch Ness
Poem by William Topaz McGonagall
Beautiful Loch Ness,
The truth to express,
Your landscapes are lovely and gay,
Along each side of your waters, to Fort Augustus all the way,
Your scenery is romantic...
With rocks and hills gigantic...
Enough to make one frantic,
As they view thy beautiful heathery hills,
And their clear crystal rills,
And the beautiful woodlands so green,
On a fine summer day...
From Inverneaa all the way...
Where the deer and the doe together doth play;
And the beautiful Falls of Foyers with its cystal spray,
As clear as the day,
Enchanting and gay,
To the traveller as he gazes thereon,
That he feels amazed with delight,
To see the water falling from such a height,
That his heed feels giddy with the scene,
As he views the Falls of Foyers and the woodlands so green,
That he exclaims in an ecstasy of delight -
Oh, beautiful Loch Ness!
I must sincerely confess,
That you are the most beautiful to behold,
With your lovely landscapes and water so cold.
And as he turns from the scene, he says with a sigh-
Oh, beautiful Loch Ness! I must bid you good-bye.

BAM Nuttall has made a significant investment in innovative, sustainable on-site accommodation used by their operational teams.
Various features make this accommodation more comfortable and safe for teams using them, and for BAM Nuttall and project managers, using these units brings additional environmental and cost benefits. All projects have cost constraints and targets to reduce impacts on the planet – carbon, waste and water – so this is a win all round.
The roof mounted solar panel powers heating, lighting, hot water and electrical sockets, achieving carbon and cost saving of up to 80%. Using Fusion Pulse units from Groundhog, can reduce reliance on generators, therefore reducing emissions and fuels costs. And an on-board low flush toilet system, more comfortable than a chemical toilet, reduces water use and waste on site.
All seven units have been painted in BAM Nuttall livery and mobile units have safety chevrons on the rear.
Andy Haythorne, BAM Nuttall's Allbrook depot Plant and Fleet Manager said, "When we were looking for suitable site accommodation our main considerations were high quality and a long operational life expectancy; comfort and ease of use for people working on site; reduced impact on the planet and lower running costs."
The Genquip Groundhog product meets all our needs and helps us get closer to our goals to reduce our impact on the planet. We've experienced excellent service, including full product training. We're sure the site teams using them will be as satisfied as we are with our decision to choose Fusion Pulse."

Rohst Coffee hopes to perk up Milwaukie transit riders
Just in time for TriMets MAX Orange Line grand opening on Sept. 12, Rohst Coffee opened across the street from the downtown Milwaukie station, 11254 S.E. 21st Ave.
Rohst Coffee Co. Operations Manager Kaytee Horton said she and her business partners thought that it would be a really great location for a coffee shop with its high visibility and convenient location to downtown Milwaukie, Milwaukie High School, being just a few blocks off McLoughlin Boulevard, and, of course, the new light-rail stop right across the street.
Her husband, Bill Horton, grew up in and around Milwaukie. The dream started when Bill Horton, and his best friend, Thomas Martinez, were painting and installing flooring in the building. Hortons father is the buildings owner, and his grandfather constructed it.
They had several people pop in and ask them about the building and the space, suggesting a coffee shop go in once it was complete, Kaytee Horton said. Bill and Thomas had thought the same. ... Bill and Thomas have been brainstorming for years on how they could break into business and become entrepreneurs, and as people continued to suggest a coffee shop in the space, it felt like a sign. Both guys have always loved coffee and business, and since I had some experience in the field, it seemed like a natural fit.
Kaytee Horton had worked as a barista locally for several years through college and had always told Bill it was one of her favorite jobs.
I really liked the craft and science involved with coffee and, specifically ,espresso, and I also really loved the ability to positively impact someones day with excellent customer service, she said. I know some people pick their favorite coffee spot based on the coffee, and some pick it based on the service they receive, but it would truly be the perfect combination to have both.
She said Rohst hopes to stand out based on customer service and delicious espresso and other coffee blends from their roaster, Sisters Coffee Co.
The Pacific Northwest coffee market is really competitive, as I am sure you can imagine, and we are looking forward to breaking into it and making Rohst the type of place that people want to begin every day at, she said.
Behind the scenes, she added, the four of us (Bill, herself, Thomas, and his wife, Alicia) want to make Rohst a great experience for employees as well.
Job creation isnt always easy in todays climate, but it is important, and we would like to contribute by bringing fun entry-level positions to the table with the opportunity for advancement, she said. We are hoping that with the expansion of the business, we can later offer our team members some unique experiences and perks.

Old on the left, new on the right and a couple of (I assume) test logos during design - one of those looking very familiar! Some pics from the YouTube showreel...no idents as yet.

text: 10% of American currently use tanning beds. A study tracking 73,000 nurses found that tanning beds increased skin cancer risk for basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma. Another study recently found that for every 4 visits per year to a tanning bed, the risk of BCC and SCC rose 15% and risk for melanoma rose 11%. It appears that using tanning beds in the younger age range had the strongest effect on skin cancer risk.

Carrie (1976) Collector's Edition Blu-ray Review
Carrie (1976)
Director: Brian De Palma
Starring: Sissy Spacek, John Travolta, Nancy Allen, William Katt, P.J. Soles, Amy Irving, Betty Buckley & Piper Laurie
Released by: Scream Factory
Reviewed by Mike Kenny
Based on Stephen King's esteemed debut novel, Carrie centers on teenage outcast Carrie White (Sissy Spacek, Coal Miner's Daughter) who quietly discovers powers of telekinesis. Abused by her religious mother and tormented by sadistic classmates, the shy introvert exacts her revenge during the student body's most anticipated evening. John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever), Nancy Allen (RoboCop), William Katt (The Greatest American Hero), P.J. Soles (Halloween), Amy Irving (Voices), Betty Buckley (Eight Is Enough) and Piper Laurie (The Hustler) costar.
Marking the first of many adaptations based on the works of horror maestro Stephen King, Carrie expertly melds relatable teen angst with supernatural suspense under the stylish direction of Hitchcock devotee Brian De Palma (Dressed to Kill). Awkward and friendless, Carrie White's desires to fit in amongst her peers are consistently shattered when cruel classmates take delight in making her life a living hell. Following her first unexpected period in the girl's locker room, Carrie suffers emotionally shattering and embarrassing abuse when her fellow students manically laugh at her traumatic meltdown and respond by piling the bleeding teen with tampons. From the damaging hallways of high school to her mentally destructive home life soured by her religiously unhinged mother (Laurie), Carrie's tidal wave of emotions allows her to channel telekinetic abilities. While her tormentors are punished for their actions, lead heel Chris Hargensen (Allen) rebels, costing her entry to the much anticipated senior prom and making vengeance against Carrie her main priority. Developing sincere regret for her part during Carrie's incident, Sue Snell (Irving) is determined to make peace by excusing herself from the prom and urging her popular boyfriend Tommy Ross (Katt) to take the shy Carrie instead. Experiencing an evening of dreams come true after being crowned prom queen, unparalleled resentment and hate for the introverted teen creates another scarring moment in her life of endless torment. Unrestrained and empowered by revenge, supernatural occurrences and a fiery inferno turns the once magical evening into a hellish nightmare.
Brought to life by a cast of relative newcomers who fully embody their onscreen counterparts, Carrie's simplicity and timeless approach in capturing the harsh struggles of teenage survival is key to its success. Perfectly cast as the film's tragic protagonist, Sissy Spacek, nominated by the Academy for her performance, channels the introvert in all of us while demonstrating a wide range of emotions in her pursuit for happiness and eventually fatal revenge. In addition, Piper Laurie, also nominated for her equally stunning performance as the crazed Ms. White, issues genuine chills of terror while, Nancy Allen delivers one of cinema's finest villainous roles as high school hell raiser Chris Hargensen making hating her an audience's pleasure. Matched with dreamlike cinematography by Mario Tosi (The Stunt Man), an evocative score by Pino Donaggio (Blow Out) and tight cutting by Editor Paul Hirsch (Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back), Carrie maintains its suspenseful build through use of nail biting slo-mo and screen splitting chaos during the film's fire breathing finale. Mesmerizingly haunting and easily one of De Palma's finest hours, Carrie, much like its literary masterpiece, continues to live on as a gold standard example of horror cinema.
Newly scanned in 4K from the original camera negative, Scream Factory proudly presents Carrie with a 1080p transfer, sporting a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. Improving on its dated past release, Brian De Palma's supernatural shocker arrives with natural film grain firmly intact throughout while, skin tones are warmly inviting and nicely detailed. Furthermore, dirt and debris are virtually absent paving the way for an exceptionally clean presentation. The surreal, softer focus of Mario Posi's cinematography demonstrated during sunny exterior sequences are preserved while, black levels cast appreciatively inky levels and bold colors spotted during the iconic pig's blood poured on Carrie and the prom's variety of spotlights pop quite nicely. Without question, Carrie has made her definitive statement with this wholly impressive transfer. Equipped with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 mix, the film's soundscape has never been regarded for its dynamics yet, dialogue is consummately produced with Pino Donaggio's exceptional score fully encompassing sequences. In addition, chaotic screams and destruction of the high school gymnasium offer notable rise. An optional DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 mix has also been included for your listening pleasure.
Spread across two Blu-ray discs, special features located on Disc 1 include, the Theatrical Trailer (2:06) and a Carrie Franchise Trailer Gallery (4:12). Continuing on Disc 2, newly recorded supplements include, Writing Carrie: An Interview with Screenwriter Lawrence Cohen (29:07), Shooting Carrie: An Interview with Director of Photography Mario Tosi (15:22) and Cutting Carrie: An Interview with Casting Director Harriet B. Helberg (16:03). The repurposed Acting Carrie (42:42) is also joined by the new More Acting Carrie: Featuring Interviews with Nancy Allen, Betty Buckley, William Katt, Piper Laurie, Edie McClurg & P.J. Soles (20:19). Additionally, the vintage Visualizing Carrie: From Words to Images (41:33) and a brand new featurette, Bucket of Blood (23:53), interviewing the Italian speaking Composer Pino Donaggio about his experiences is included with English subtitles. Furthermore, Horror's Hallowed Grounds (11:25), hosted by Sean Clark as he visits the shooting locations today and Carrie, The Musical: Singing Carrie (6:23) continue the bonus feature packed release with TV Spots (3:11), Radio Spots (1:29), a Still Gallery - Rare Behind-the-Scenes (59 in total), followed by another Still Gallery - Posters and Lobby Cards (47 in total), Stephen King and the Evolution of Carrie Text Gallery (13 in total) and a Reversible Cover Art boasting the original 1-sheet design concluding the nearly endless supply of content.
Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Carrie continues to shock viewers with its supernatural scares while effectively tapping into the real-life and arguably more frightening torment outcast teenagers continue to face. Treasuring De Palma's adaptation for the classic it is, Scream Factory's gorgeous 4K transfer, joined by its Collector's Edition level of new and vintage supplements delivers the home video release of Carrie fans have been clamoring for.
Available now from Scream Factory, Carrie can be purchased via ShoutFactory.com, Amazon.com and other fine retailers.

Joy Manganos Jewel Kit Storage Question
I was just wondering if anyone has ever used this to store your makeup in, and if so, how is it working for you? I thinking of using my solid color one for this purpose. The patterned is holding my jewelry.
I don't use mine for makeup, but that is a great idea! It should hold plenty and would be easy to find what you need. Maybe Joy can look in to creating a similar case specifically for makeup. For my makeup storage, I use the other beauty cases with the velcro. I have four sets, so I use them for many other things, as well.
Last night, during the presentation, they did show one stocked with Trish McEvoy.

So. A while back – as in like over a year ago, I signed up on 43things.com – and could only muster a short list of about 11 things. It's grown to 23things now – and I've even completed a few of the 'goals' that I put down. However, getting up to 43things and making it not a list of stuff like, read more, watch less, etc. is getting to be difficult. I mean. For me 23things is a lot. Especially when they're sort of measurable goals. But I think I'll put camping down. I want to go camping again sometime before winter – we attempted last year, but that was… not as successful as we would have hoped.
Basically, we arrived up there in Northern Georgia on a Friday afternoon and all of the spaces were taken up – half of them were taken by people who actually LIVE up there anyways. So that sucks. Instead of driving home though, we asked a large group if we could just take up residence for the night just off their own 'official' campsite. (and yes, we drove to several campsites and trust me, they were ALL full) So we had a good first night… and only night because the next morning the park ranger came by and told us to get out of there – but in a nice way so it's not like we were all offended. However, it still sucked to have to leave after only one night when we were planning on two.� These photos are from a camping trip Leah and I took in Sedona, Arizona. It was quite awesome and beautiful and we had a really great time. She even learned to skip rocks!
So. Put Camping down on the list. Along with…some others in there for fun.
- Graduate with my Finance Degree
- Run a half marathon
- Learn to play guitar
- Lose 20 lbs
- Take up Capoeira
- Complete a Triathlon
- Watch Six Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns
- Learn Mandarin Chinese
- Really learn photography
- Make a short film and enter it into contests/festivals
- Learn to sing (again)
- Go to Nepal
- Go to India
- Go to Thailand
- Take a picture everyday for a year
- Practice Yoga for at least 30 days straight
- Go vegetarian for 6 months
- Quit Drinking Coffee – (hmmmm… maybe I should be realistic)
- Hang out with my cats more (Shut up! My cats are COOL.)
- Go to the Phillipines with my mom (where we're from and haven't been since we left.)
- Go to Turkey!
- Be more friendly
- Inspire SOMEONE
I suppose we should make a list of things together… BUT. The titles of these books in the photos should definitely be on the list. 🙂
Oh yes. And Taking Over The World!

Teaching kids to take a step back
I'm sure you've seen this gem of a lesson (pictured below) floating around pinterest and artsonia alike. It's a great two point perspective lesson that leaves loads of freedom for students to be creative, innovative, and confident about pulling together the principles of art and design. Kids loved drawing them and showing them off to friends and family. But the most valuable thing that my fifth grade students took away from this lesson was learning to take a step back from their drawing and viewing it from a far. They learned to silently contemplate their drawing as they looked for their focal point, range of values, use of color, and overall craftsmanship.
I was proud to see my students get up periodically to stick their picture to the board, take a few steps back and stare with squinty eyes for a couple moments before sitting back down and silently getting to work. They were artists working on their craft in a creative studio environment and I was there available for trouble shooting and critique. It felt great to have students take such control of their artwork and see artists bursting with pride at the end.

About this property
Banded Peaks Vista Ranch Chromo, CO Whether it is big game hunting, being at one with nature, or both, you will know you have found the best ranch money can buy when you arrive at Banded Peaks Vista Ranch in Southwest Colorado. Comprised of a beautiful 705 acres along the Continental Divide, located in Chromo, Colorado, a mere 20 minute drive south on US Highway 84 of Pagosa Springs, this property is an easily reachable hunting/nature retreat or all-season home property. Outdoor function and pure beauty are accurate descriptors for this multi-purpose ranch: run cattle, horses or sheep in the large open pastures; hike or hunt the Aspen, Spruce and Ponderosa Pine-studded forests; hunt or observe wildlife at the pond or 3 dirt tanks; observe the unobstructed beauty of the Southern Colorado Divides Mountains from your recreational vehicle or cabin-building site at the property entrance, where utilities (electric and water) await your use. A functioning well is also a likely find from the nearby 4-season spring. Along the private existing old forest trailways you will not only find a plethora of mountain wildlife (Elk, Deer, Black Bear mainly) and flora, but also the areas most breath-taking views of Banded Peaks and Navajo Peak. Hunting: Hunting on this ranch is nothing short of incredible. It is the norm to see a multitude of wildlife just driving through the property. As I was driving up to the property I saw several deer and one monster buck, as I made my way to the south eastern side Elk were chirping and frolicking around in the big meadows. Although this Ranch possesses one of the areas largest major Elk-Migration paths, this Ranch has not been hunted for years and you can tell; every wallow is full of Elk and Deer tracks, evidence this locale has been a haven for all wildlife for years. Mule deer hunting is phenomenal with Rio Arriba County just being less than 1 mile away and is the number 1 producer of non-typical mule deer in New Mexico. With the ranchs size you can draw landowner tags through the LPP program which would take up to 20 years to draw in New Mexico. Elk hunting is great with the abundant herds calling this ranch home; Elk tags can be bought over the counter for archery second and third season. Fishing: Fishing on the beautiful Navajo River where big Brown Trout abound and takes you back in time with the pristine waters. The Navajo river is mostly private which gives you an untouched feel and seclusion from the public. Locale: Banded Peaks Vista Ranch is the most pristine beauty th

When it comes to cuteness, baby sloths might just take top honors. Their little Chewbacca faces just melt our hearts. That's partly why it's even sadder when we see these animals in desperate situations. In Costa Rica's rainforests, young sloths are sometimes left orphaned because of deforestation, the illegal pet trade, or a whole host of other reasons. Since sloths, much like humans, are completely dependent on their mothers for survival for up to three years, an orphaned sloth will surely not survive, without help. The circumstances are even more bleak for those who are injured or born with disabilities.
Thankfully, when the organization, Kids Saving the Rainforest, came across a newly born sloth, who was paralyzed from the waist down, they made the life-saving decision to raise him to overcome his disability, even teaching him how to climb using only his wittle, baby arm muscles! This little one, named Anakin, is learning to tackle the rainforest – but you could say he's taking on the whole galaxy.
His rescuers made sure to keep Anakin safe and warm, just like his mother would. They bottle fed him to make sure he would grow big and strong. And taught him the importance of friendship. Despite his disability, Anakin knew he could climb mountains … or at least a few branches, which is really no small task!
Aside from his damaged back legs, Anakin lives a normal life and will hopefully grow big and strong in the care of the sanctuary. We can all learn something from this little survivor – just keep climbing no matter what life throws your way!
If you'd like to help support Anakin's rehabilitation, visit Kids Saving the Rainforest.

Replying to nol2ter:
An error occurred during aac playback in the latest version of the chrome browser from Feb 2018.
Then why are you reporting an issue here?
Does any other software fail for the output file?
comment:3 Changed 2 years ago by nol2ter
Hey cehoyos, appreciate your help always.
I thought bitrate option was causing a problem.
I didn't know it is encoder or decoder problem, so got to ask it here that I often visit.
As you say, I will also contact Google Chrome.
What do you think about is it a problem with the decoder in Chrome?
comment:4 Changed 2 years ago by cehoyos
I don't know, that's why I asked you why you believe this is a problem that can be fixed in FFmpeg and if other players also fail.

Transform the usual bob by simply doing cross over individual strands to the side parting, making you ready for the Red Carpet.
This design utilizes the locks as a headband like substitute. The mane was braided from one side to another and was crossed over at the top, front most part of the head, acting as a 'do as well as an adornment. The braids are slightly and loosely done and were not pulled too tightly on the other side. It radiates a princess like feel and the braid being called the crown braid. The rest of the mane was pulled up to free the neck from any stray strands that can potentially ruin the neat and vibrant effect of the design.

Stem Cells: The Future Of Regenerative Medicine And Its Controversies
When the word stem cell, you may have heard of someone talking about it, or you may have read an article that discusses regarding its uses, but what are stem cells really and how are they taken?
In essence a human actually starts as single egg cell, its fertilized, divide into several cells and the differences to create human parts that are functional such as muscle cells or blood cells, this is the process of differentiation where most of the human body is more on. These stem cells are the cells that have been fertilized and divided but did not differentiate, and they can regenerate and multiply to remain a stem cell or differentiate.
There are two ways into which this stem cell is taken from, one is called embryonic stem cells taken from 2-5 days old embryo, and the adult stem cells taken from bone marrow and fatty tissues from a patient.
Stem cells are actually useful as per research in regenerative medicine for the purposes to repair or replace tissue or any organ function lost due to congenital defects, disease, damage, or age. The controversy that lies in stem cells is the argument in taking it from a human embryo which in essence many claimed to be a life being formed already and the with the taking of the stem cells such embryo will be wasted.
And because of this it had raised concerns and topics that correlates the conflict between science and religion that raised the concern of many.
One more issue that concerns the use of stem cells is the fact that there are some clinics that use stem cells as treatments, and claims cure even to those diseases that have no known treatment as yet, and these claims have no related and proven research too. It is for this reason that the effectivity and credibility of the research made for stem cells that are proven real are put into question and many people have begun to doubt here the effectivity of stem cell, just because of those false claims.
Should you decide to undergo treatment using stem cell, you need to be able to identify the clinic that has the proven research from those that are less reputable ones in the market.
In the present time, continued research is still done to ensure full functionally of stem cell, and eradicate those controversies surrounding it, and once this research is gone wide, it will be the great future of regenerative medicine.

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
Lots of potential
I used this app for a while, quit for a couple of years, then came back and remembered why I quit - it seems really great on the surface, and you don't really see the frustrating parts until you've already invested a lot of time. Pros: Can access on both computer and mobile. Keeps track of cost per wear. Allows you to plan and schedule outfits.
Cons: Photos do not save consistently (no rhyme or reason; not tied to file size or type, mobile vs desktop, or anything else as far as I can tell) - the same item may say it has saved the image 5 different times but always deletes the picture as soon as you navigate away, yet if you create a duplicate item using the same picture it might work...very frustrating. Not all info fields are available on either mobile app or on desktop (if you want to enter all the information about any one item you have to switch back and forth). Organization of shelves is not modifiable and sometimes unintuitive (eg shoes and socks both go under 'footwear' but tights or stockings go under 'intimates'; 'jeans' are a separate category from 'pants and shorts' but denim shorts are under the 'pants and shorts' category). Can't share closet URL with friends who aren't using the app - if you try to send an email invite, it gives you a link to your closet (supposedly) but the link doesn't work - obviously they originally planned to have this functionality but gave up on it.
Great tool for organization and closet minimizing
Great idea, nice design, some useful features. I love all of the sorting options, though it would be cool if the app made suggestions for what to pair with what (based on color, style, outfit history, or whatever). I got this app in hopes to start wearing everything I have and to get rid of pieces I don't wear. Not only does the app provide statistics for what you wear most and least often, but entering stuff is quite a hassle so it provides incentive to only include the best stuff, haha. The catalogue is pretty sparse so you're going to have to do the majority of the photographing. Really though, once you take a day or two to painstakingly inventory everything it really is a fun & worthwhile tool. There's definitely some room for improvement, but I think it's worth the time if you're committed to curating your best wardrobe.
Great app
My goal for the year is to save money (i.e. much less shopping), so I downloaded this app as a way to see and to use/reuse all of my existing clothes. I have a small and PACKED closet and I often forget about things I own. This app has already solved that problem. I've spent the past week diligently inputting my clothes, and I am so happy with the results. You can sort by color, pattern, brand, style, etc which is awesome!! It's so easy to create outfits and plan the week on the go, and then getting ready for work is a breeze. I feel like Cher in Clueless!! I think it is well worth the time to add all of the optional information, as it enhances the ways you can sort your digital closet. Plus, it's free!! Two thumbs up, gold star, 10/10, all of the positive sayings.

Bringing Up Baby
Source: Flickr
Did you ever have a moment in time when you think to yourself, "This is it. This is the moment. Life just can't get any better." And then, it does. Such a moment happened to me, last week, while whale watching in Ma'alaea Bay on the Alii Nui.
It was a gorgeous day out on the water. The weather could not have been more perfect and the whale sightings were plentiful. It was a day when total strangers are your friends. We had all shared the experience of seeing these powerful mammals arcing out of the water and diving back in. (This is called breaching.) We had even seen a baby whale heading towards our catamaran until the mother herded her away. I was relaxing against the side of the boat, enjoying the warm breeze and contemplating the perfection of the moment. The activity of the whales had died down and it was almost time to return to the harbor, when Captain Chris yelled, "She's coming back. The baby's coming back."
Baby and Mama and an unknown male were headed towards us. Diane, a crew member, explained that the unknown male was not the father but a stray male hoping to get lucky. At this, the woman next to me and I rolled our eyes. I said what we were both thinking, "Good luck guy. Mama has recently given birth to several tons of baby whale. I'm thinking, not gonna happen." The excitement was palatable on the boat as the whales got closer and closer. Then, all three passed right under us. We could see all of their outlines through a watery x-ray type of effect. Baby looked to be a little bigger than Mama's head. Mama looked like a submarine next to baby. Our exhilaration grew as they made one pass after another, three in total.
While I was thrilled that Baby had come so close, I wanted her to come out of the water so that I could get a picture. So I started to talk to her under my breath. It was that kind of day. "Come on, baby. Come up and play. You know you want to. Come up and play with me so that I can take your picture."
Suddenly, I had the strongest sensation that not only was Baby coming up but that I knew where she would surface. I walked over to that spot and held my camera over the water and waited, and waited, and waited. Then, miraculously, there she was right in my camera lens. Time stood still as Baby and I checked each other out. Luckily I came out of my stupor as a little voice in my head reminded me to "click the button, stupid".
Everyone on the catamaran was shouting and laughing at the same time. They were hoping that Baby would be back but I had a feeling that Baby had accomplished what she had intended for that day.
They say that Humpback whales are very susceptible to human emotions. Did Baby feel my playful exhortations and come up to play or was she just a curiously determined youngster with a very tolerant Mama? In the end, I don't think it mattered. However, just in case it was the former, I sent out one last, heartfelt message. "Thank you, Baby. Thank you".

Jackson Tickets Aren't For Sale
Thwarting scalpers as they tried to sell Michael Jackson memorial tickets proved to be a Sisyphean task - for every batch taken down, new ones appeared.
After 17,500 free tickets were issued via lottery for today's service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, offers began popping up on eBay and Craigslist. And operators and users of those sites just as quickly began removing them.
It was a matter of morality more than legality. "We believe it would be inappropriate to allow the sale of tickets for the Michael Jackson memorial service," says Karen Bard, eBay's pop culture expert.
It didn't stop people from trying to capitalize on the tickets they won. But it frustrated them.
When Cedric Morris, 34, tried selling a ticket on Craigslist for $1,000, he posted his ad over and over after it was repeatedly removed. Buyers faded and his price dropped to $200.
"It's not worth my time," says the L.A. mechanical engineer, who requested the tickets but can't skip work to attend the memorial. "The economy is so bad, I can't risk missing a day. It's the only thing I ever won, and I can't take advantage of it. I had reservations about selling it, but I also had reservations about wasting it."
Roughly 1.6 million people applied for access, and 8,750 were chosen at random to receive free pairs. Security measures to reduce scalping included fastening wristbands on winners when they picked up tickets. That's why Morris had only a spare to sell.
Scalpers on major websites listed seats in wild ranges: from thousands of dollars to freebies for those who made a strong case for why they deserved to attend. King of Pop fans foiled some sellers by bidding up tickets to absurd and uncollectible sums - nearly $100 million on eBay. On Craigslist, they simply took advantage of the community moderating tools.
"These are not ads that our customer service department have taken down but rather our users flagging them off," says Craigslist spokeswoman Susan MacTavish Best. "Users very quickly flag off ads that are inappropriate, look fishy or are miscategorized, and that is what we are seeing happening with Jackson tickets."
It's difficult to place a value on tickets to such an unusual occasion, says Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the concert-industry trade magazine Pollstar. "I can't recall this kind of demand," he says. "Reaction to his death is almost on a presidential level, which is bizarre."
He says he's stunned by the high asking prices for an event that anyone can watch on television. "Who are the fools buying these things?" Bongiovanni asks.

Clinical sport and remedial massage therapy combines general and deep tissue massage with specific stretching and muscle contraction techniques to improve muscle health. I also combine some myofascial release techniques which works on the fascia connective tissue found around our muscles. The benefits of this style of mixed therapy is felt quite quickly due to its direct approach and is suitable for people of all ages.
I look at how the whole body is moving, not just the affected area. After a detailed consultation including a postural assessment in some cases, I use a combination of techniques which leads to better long term health benefits working directly and indirectly on tight muscles and stiff joints.
Sport and remedial massage therapy is strongly associated with athletes but it can be used to treat a wide range of non-sport related problems. It is essential for the treatment of postural and musculoskeletal problems which can be caused by lifestyle habits, stress, injuries (sports and non-sports) and poor exercise technique. With regards to lifestyle habits, these are common problem areas:
- Back of the neck into the base of the skull – can lead to tension headaches, stiff neck with limited range of movement
- Upper shoulders and tightness and pain between the shoulder blades, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries
- Lower back pain, sometimes as low as the base of the spine, limited flexion of sections of the spine
- Hip pain, sometimes sciatic pain causing pins and needles and numbness.
- Knee pain
- Ankle weakness, foot pain including plantar fasciitis
- Arm, hand & wrist repetitive strain injury / carpal tunnel syndrome, including tennis and golfer's elbow
This list is not final, as many soft tissue problems and conditions can occur from the stresses and strains of normal life.
For the regular gym user or sports person, sport and remedial massage should be used in conjunction with training schedules as this therapy can bring awareness of the recipient's own musculoskeletal dysfunction. Treatments taken regularly will help improve training, enhance performance, aid in recovery and reduce the potential for injuries.
Treatment times are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes. A full consultation will be taken at the first appointment. You will be asked about medical / health issues you are currently being treated for but all information is held in strict confidence and is GDPR compliant.

University funding and finance can be worrying and confusing but fortunately, Cambridge is a relatively cheap place to study because of the subsidised rent, food and entertainment that is on offer. This page explains what you will need to pay and where money is available to help you.
Tuition fees
Tuition fees for undergraduate UK and EU students, and overseas students can be found on the University's website.
Living costs
Living costs include accommodation, food, travel and social activities. Individual needs vary but living costs across the University are usually around £9,160 per year. This compares to around £9,500 at Manchester, £11,000 at Southampton, £12,000 at Birmingham and £15,000 at UCL.
Details about accommodation and food can be found here. Other College costs include the internet (around £38 per term) and 'Caution Money' (£200, which is returned when you leave minus any costs for damage).
Financial support
For general advice on student finance and what Government support is available to you as a Home or EU student, please look at the Government's Student Finance web pages.
Cambridge Bursary Scheme
The Cambridge Bursary is a generous means-tested bursary, which is available for UK and EU students (including Clinical Veterinary and Medical students). It operates on a sliding scale for students with a household income of up to £42,620 and can be worth up to £3,500 a year. It is not a loan but a gift from Cambridge University to you.
College awards
Rosemary Murray Fund
The Rosemary Murray Fund assists undergraduates with expenses incurred in connection with their studies (e.g. research expenses for projects or dissertations or special equipment needs). Amounts for academically-related travel are likely to be between £50 and £300.
Barbara White Fund
The Barbara White Fund supports students undertaking academically-related placements over the summer vacation. Awards of £100 per week may be made for a total of up to five weeks. The Posen Fund is also available for support of this kind and applicants may be eligible for a larger award: preference will be given to Natural Scientists.
Rosemary Murray Scholarships
Rosemary Murray Scholarships of £400 are awarded each year to those undergraduates who perform outstandingly well (a First Class result in any year of their degree). A number of separate scholarships exist for individual subjects.
Financial need and hardship funds
If you experience financial difficulties during your time at Cambridge, there are both College and University funds available to help as well as advice and support from our Financial Tutor. We are committed to ensuring Home students should be able to afford the education and experience that Cambridge has to offer.
