Bears Get 'Busch'-whacked by Ducks, Garcia excited about joining starting rotation
It does not happen very often that one player can be both the hero and the goat in the same game. Lucky for Kevin Haverbusch, people tend to remember only what happens last.

"You'll remember the 'scroll and select' days of S60, hopefully. Smartphones driven by a navigational d-pad with central 'OK' button. Now look in your hand to see Symbian in Belle Refresh or Belle FP2 form and there's very little similarity. How did we get from one to the other and could things have happened differently? I say yes."

Not to bring up politics again, but as many as you know, former Steelers Hall of Famer Lynn Swann is running for governor of Pennsylvania. As anyone who has ever spent time in the general vicinity of the great city of Pittsburgh, part of your duties as political candidate is to play beer pong with your potential constituents.
He takes the ball without question and we walk to the table. He then says, "Just throw it in the cup?" I agree with him and give him a little advice because the wind was kicking up at this fine day. ... He makes a few arm motions warming up a bit, eyes the red cup at the other end of the table filled slightly with IC Light, takes a breath and lets it fly. The crowd that surrounded the table was at least 30 deep by now with Steeler fans cheering for him like he was back on the field again. Cameras flashing, video camera's rolling, his bodyguards and marketing team thinking about the damage this might do to his campaign and then...
The crowd erupts with cheers as the ball lands inside the cup. He turns to me and gives me a high 5 before fleeing the scene and probably having his marketing team erase all video of this ever happening but it doesn't get much better than this.
Boy, do you not want to hear about our beer pong with Mark Foley that one time.

Sensitivity analysis determines the effectiveness of antibiotics against microorganisms (germs)such as bacteria that have been isolated from cultures.
Sensitivity analysis may be done along with:
Blood culture Clean catchurine culture or catheterized specimenurine culture Sputum culture Culture from endocervix Throat culture
- Wound and other cultures
Alternative Names
Antibiotic sensitivity testing; Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
How the test is performed
After the culture (sample) is collected from a person, it is sent to a lab. There, the samples are put in special containers to grow the microorganisms (germs) from the collected samples. Colonies of microorganisms are combined with different antibiotics to see how well each antibiotic stops each colony from growing. The test determines how effective each antibiotic is against a given organism.
How to prepare for the testFollow your health care providers instructions on how to prepare for the method used to obtain the culture.
How the test will feel
The way the test feels depends on the method usedto obtain the culture.
Why the test is performed
The test shows which antibiotic drugs should be used to treat an infection.
Many organismsare resistantto certainantibiotics. So,sensitivity testsare important in helping find the right antibiotic for you. Yourhealth care providermay start you on one antibiotic, but later change you to another because of the results of sensitivity analysis.
What abnormal results mean
If the organism shows resistance to the antibiotics used in the test, those antibiotics will not be effective treatment.
What the risks are
The risks depend upon the method used for obtaining the specific culture.

I used to work alot with TK when I was younger. It was more like a toy for me. As I grew older I found less time to do anything productive with it.
"Being a psychic when I grow up" is pretty much a running joke amongst me and my close friends. I've had several abilities for as long as I can remember. Some people think I'm a walking vortex.
I still think we need to get together again, either at AQ or you come here and we'll go to Kinlock. Think Frither'd wanna join us?

EPA Adds Areas of Orange and West Orange, N.J. to the Superfund List
Release Date: 09/14/2012
Contact Information: Elias Rodriguez, 212-637-3664, email@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has added the Orange Valley Regional Ground Water site in Orange and West Orange, New Jersey to its Superfund National Priorities List of the country's most hazardous waste sites. Ground water under the site, which is in heavily populated urban and suburban areas of Orange and West Orange, is contaminated with the chemicals tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene. Exposure to these common industrial solvents can have serious effects on people's health, including liver damage and an increased risk of cancer. The ground water contamination has impacted public wells used to supply drinking water to local residents. Some of the wells have been taken out of service and water from others is treated to remove the contamination and provide the community with water that is safe to drink. EPA proposed to add the site to the Superfund list in March 2012 and a 60-day comment period followed, during which the public was encouraged to submit comments on the proposed listing. The EPA received a letter from the New Jersey government supporting the inclusion of this site to the Superfund list. The site is now final on the Superfund list.
"Ensuring that people have a safe source of drinking water is essential to protecting public health and is an EPA priority," said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. "By placing the Orange Valley Ground Water site on the Superfund list, the EPA can do the extensive sampling needed to find the best ways to address the contamination and protect people's health."
The ground water pollution has impacted several public water supply wells. The Orange Park and Gist Place wells serve a combined population of more than 10,000 people. After discovering the contamination in the early 1980s, the Orange Water Department installed a treatment system on the wells to remove the contaminants and provide the community with safe drinking water. Water from these wells is regularly monitored to ensure that the treatment system is effective and that people's health continues to be protected. The former Brook Lane public supply well, which is located between the Orange Park and Gist Place wells, was taken out of service to protect the public from the contamination.
EPA periodically proposes sites to the Superfund list and, after responding to public comments, designates them as final Superfund sites. The Superfund program operates on the principle that polluters should pay for the cleanups, rather than passing the costs to taxpayers. After sites are placed on the Superfund list of the most contaminated waste sites, the EPA searches for parties responsible for the contamination and holds them accountable for the costs of investigations and cleanups. The search for the parties responsible for the contamination at the Orange Valley Regional Ground Water site is ongoing.
The EPA today added 12 sites to the national Superfund list. Since 1983, 1,676 sites have been listed. Of these sites, 360 sites have been cleaned up, resulting in 1,316 sites currently on the list, including the 12 added today. There are 54 sites proposed to be added, including eight announced today, awaiting final agency action.

The pricing of food options may be exacerbating the childhood obesity epidemic in the U.S., according to new research.
In a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, economists Michael Grossman, Erdal Tekin and Roy Wada examined the connection between the body fat compositions of youth across U.S. counties from 1999 to 2004 and the corresponding prices of foods. They found that bigger price tags on fruits and vegetables were associated with greater levels of youth obesity, while lower prices of fast-food options were correlated with higher youth obesity levels.
They obtained body fat measures from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. For the price measure, the economists used three fast-food items — a McDonald's Quarter-Pounder with cheese, a thin-crusted cheese pizza at Pizza Hut or Pizza Inn and fried chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken or Church's — and 21 grocery items, such as a pound of whole chicken, a loaf of white bread and a pound of bananas.
The economists also studied the way different groups react to fluctuations in the prices of foods. Boys tended to lose more weight than females when the prices of fast-food options went up, whereas girls were more sensitive to fluctuations in the prices of fruits and vegetables. Nonwhites responded more to changes in the prices of fast-food items and less to the cost of fruits and vegetables than whites.
The evidence seems to suggest that taxing unhealthy foods or subsidizing healthy alternatives might be a good way to fight the growing youth obesity epidemic. But the economists warn against price regulation. "Taxes are blunt instruments that impose significant welfare costs on individuals who consume food in moderation," Messrs. Grossman, Tekin and Wada write. "Moreover, in the case of adolescents, an additional issue is that parents may more easily and immediately affect the choices made by their children than the government."
Individuals who consider the health cost of a food item alongside the financial cost aren't as reactive to fluctuations in the price of fast food, according to Mr. Grossman, one of the paper's authors. He suggested early intervention programs as a more effective way to combat youth obesity than price regulations, citing that youths need the cognitive skills required to consider the long-term consequences of decisions. "A policy to make kids more future-oriented — I would ask policymakers to think more about this option," he said. "It would spill over to other future outcomes as well, not just childhood obesity."

The Conference Dinner was held in the evening after the first day's proceedings, and took place amidst the lovely ambience of the terraced gardens of the Renaissance Hotel and Conference Centre. The spot next to Lake Powai proved again a beautiful location for delegates to discuss the presentations of the first day, catch up with old and new friends and for some to get into the spirit of the host country by joining in the action on stage. For, as well as networking, a live band and a fantastic dinner, delegates witnessed a wonderful evening of Indian cultural performances from the different states of India. A dance troupe performed varying dances and songs from the various regions of India, and ended by encouraging delegates to join them up on stage. For a while there, it was quite a party, and likely some delegates arose for Day 2 of the conference a touch the worse for wear.
The conference dinner was kindly hosted by the Remaking of Mumbai Federation, and RoMF Chairman Lalit Gandhi, and RoMF Secretary Mayank Gandhi, briefly addressed the audience and thanked them for their attendance and support.

Applicative functor
From HaskellWiki
1 Example
It has turned out that many applications do not require monad functionality but only those of applicative functors. Monads allow you to run actions depending on the outcomes of earlier actions.
do text <- getLine if null text then putStrLn "You refuse to enter something?" else putStrLn ("You entered " ++ text)
This is obviously necessary in some cases, but in other cases it is disadvantageous.
Consider an extended IO monad which handles automated closing of allocated resources. This is possible with a monad.
openDialog, openWindow :: String -> CleanIO () liftToCleanup :: IO a -> CleanIO a runAndCleanup :: CleanIO a -> IO a runAndCleanup $ do text <- liftToCleanup getLine if null text then openDialog "You refuse to enter something?" else openWindow ("You entered " ++ text)
I.e. if the dialog was opened, the dialog must be closed, but not the window. That is, the cleanup procedure depends on the outcomes of earlier actions.
Now consider the slightly different task, where functions shall register initialization routines that shall be run before the actual action takes place. (See the original discussion started by Michael T. Richter in Haskell-Cafe: Practical Haskell Question) This is impossible in the monadic framework.Consider the example above where the choice between
If you eliminate this dependency, you end up in an applicative functor and there you can do the initialization trick. You could write
initializeAndRun $ liftA2 (liftToInit getLine) (writeToWindow "You requested to open a window")
2 Some advantages of applicative functors
- Code that uses only on the interface are more general than ones uses theApplicativeinterface, because there are more applicative functors than monads.Monad
- Programming with has a more applicative/functional feel. Especially for newbies, it may encourage functional style even when programming with effects. Monad programming with do notation encourages a more sequential & imperative style.Applicative
3 How to switch from monads
- Start using ,liftM, etc orliftM2where you can, in place ofap/do.(>>=)
- When you notice you're only using those monad methods, then import and replaceControl.Applicativewithreturn,purewithliftM(or(<$>)orfmap),liftAwithliftM2, etc, andliftA2withap. If your function signature was(<*>), change toMonad m => ...(and maybe renameApplicative m => ...tomor whatever).f

AM NOTE: A wonderful story! Help protect Milton's horses from abuse and harassment. Support Liberty's
Courtesy by
Addy Howe, a 13-year-old student at King's Ridge Christian School, fell in love with horses when she was about 2 or 3 years old.
"I had a babysitter who took me and put me on a horse," she said of her first introduction to riding.
That initial love for horses led her to start competing in local horse shows about five years ago. She is now ranked 22nd nationally in the Younger Large Junior Hunters Division. Part of her improvement in the sport over the past year and a half can be attributed to training at FoxCroft Farm, an equestrian center in Alpharetta on New Providence Road.
"Here I'm always learning something," Howe said.
Abbey DuBose, a 14-year-old student at Mount Pisgah Christian School, has also been training at FoxCroft Farm, having started in January. Coming from a family of horse riders, she first started riding about seven years ago and now competes in the Medium Pony Hunter and the Large Pony Hunter divisions, she said. She currently ranks ninth in the country.
DuBose said her skills have improved since training at FoxCroft Farm, and she enjoys the atmosphere at the center. "It's been more like a family environment," she said. "I know everyone, and it's just fun to train here."
Head trainer Tim Sweat has been working with both teens and has seen their confidence levels improve while riding. "When you increase your confidence level, your ability to ride around the ring is better," he said. "Confidence is a major part of what we do."
The two compete about twice a month and recently participated in the Devon Horse Show in Pennsylvania — a first time for both.
"It's one of the oldest and most prestigious horse shows in the country," Sweat said. "You have the best of the best of every division that's there. Your first time there you can be pretty overwhelmed."
He said the girls handled themselves well but made some minor mistakes, which kept them from receiving ribbons. While her performance did not go as great as she would have liked, DuBose said the experience taught her to know what to expect next time. Howe also said she views her first time at the Devon Horse Show as a learning experience.
Both teens have goals to reach the top ranks in their divisions. Yet aside from the competitive aspect, they both simply love riding.
"I just like horses," Howe said. "I like being around them." She is content going to the barn just to spend time with the horses, even when she is not riding that day. DuBose said she enjoys connecting with the pony she rides.
"I really don't love any other sports as much as I like riding," she said. "It just feels good to go out and ride and just have fun."

2013 BMW X1: First Drive
Americans will get their first taste of BMW's compact crossover, the 2013 BMW X1, when it arrives this fall. New to the US market, the X1 lineup has already proven so popular in Europe and throughout much of the rest of the world that demand has outpaced early supply. Recently updated with a host of content improvements, the X1 is finally ready to land stateside.
BMW is counting on buyers falling in love with premium compact crossovers, and the X1 is set for battle against natural rivals like the upcoming Audi Q3 and Porsche Macan, not to mention such existing models as the newly redesigned Acura RDX and the fresh Range Rover Evoque. Slotted well below the X3, X5 and X6 in BMW's lineup, the X1 is decidedly more crossover than sport utility, sharing many of its major chassis and drivetrain components with the previous version of BMW's own 3-series sedan. A first for BMW X models, it will be offered in standard form with rear-wheel drive, though all-wheel-drive versions are expected to lead sales.
Smart Packaging
The X1 is immediately identifiable as a BMW, and that's probably a good thing considering the younger, more aspiring buyer it's aimed at. From silhouette to details, there's no denying its lineage. What's surprising when you first see the X1 up close is just how compact its exterior dimensions are, particularly its height. At 60.8 inches tall, it's a very garageable vehicle. Easy access to rooftop storage also makes it attractive to the active-lifestyle crowd, which will find it convenient for loading bikes, snowboards and other equipment to racks.
The low roofline takes nothing away from the interior, which accommodates four full-size adults easily, and should manage a fifth with few complaints. Versatility is one of the X1's strengths, with standard 40:20:40 split folding rear seats that also offer 30 degrees of adjustable incline to optimize either passenger comfort or cargo capacity. The one-piece rear hatch opens to a low, flat floor for easy loading.
The interior is exactly what you'd expect from a BMW, with large, clear instruments in plain view of the driver and secondary functions, such as ventilation and entertainment, arranged in a center stack tilted slightly toward the driver. The front seats, likewise, offer excellent support and a wide range of adjustability, including seat-bottom angle adjustment for the driver's side. Tough-wearing and remarkably leather-like vinyl upholstery is standard, with leather seating available as a stand-alone option or as part of a premium package.
Most of the mid-cycle upgrades BMW deemed necessary for the X1's arrival in the States centered around interior finishes, particularly the need for softer, more natural materials. Soft-touch plastics appear on most upper surfaces, such as door rails and the dashboard, as well as on parts that come in regular contact with your hands. Only a hint of the cheaper, harder stuff remains down below, as on the center console and lower door panels. Genuine wood trim adds visual warmth to the interior as well, though aluminum trim can also be had for a more technical ambience.
Interior storage is a mixed bag. The glove compartment and center console are both fairly modest, but each door panel features enough space to hold a large 1-liter water bottle. Front cup holders may be the X1's true weakness. One is situated far back in the center console, behind the parking brake, and another is located inside the center console storage bin, requiring the lid to be open (and the lid doesn't fold flat when open). A third one can be snapped on to the right side of the center console near the front, right where the passenger's leg rests.
Plenty of Power
Buyers of the 2013 BMW X1 will have a choice of two turbocharged gasoline engines and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The standard model uses a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that makes a respectable 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic is the only transmission offered with this engine, though it can be had with either rear-drive (sDrive28i, formally) or permanent all-wheel drive (xDrive28i). The torquey engine pairs well with the automatic, which shifts smoothly and quickly through the gears for efficiency.
The optional engine is BMW's 3.0-liter 6-cylinder, making 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque, linked exclusively to a 6-speed automatic driving all four wheels in the X1 xDrive35i. This combination should appeal to performance enthusiasts as well as individualists, since it is available only to North American customers.
An ECOpro mode on either engine recalibrates the power management at the push of a button, maximizing fuel efficiency while coaching the driver in real-time to further extend economy.
BMWs have long been renowned for their smooth engines and exceptional driving dynamics, and the X1 upholds the tradition, feeling both refined and spry on the road. Steering, braking and throttle all deliver quick responses and reliable feedback to the driver, regardless of configuration. The X1 truly drives more like a conventional sedan, with a lower seating position and good outward visibility allowing for a more compact feel in traffic than most crossovers.
Premium Features Abound
Competing in the premium segment, the X1 is loaded with standard features--particularly safety equipment--and offers a long list of options, many of which are included with the xDrive35i model. Automatic climate control; heated outside mirrors; rain-sensing wipers; cruise control; fog lights; satellite and HD radio; roof rails; and an on-board trip computer are standard across the lineup. Xenon headlights; a panoramic glass sunroof; heated seats and steering wheel; GPS navigation; and Harmon-Kardon audio system are among the most desirable extras.
Drivers who need to be connected may opt for the technology package, which allows full integration for the Apple iPhone, including Bluetooth connection and apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Mog and Pandora, as well as BMW's own ConnectedDrive app.
BMW has developed several appearance packages for the X1, which combine preselected interior and exterior design elements to create a cohesive aesthetic. These include the earthy xLine, the self-explanatory SportLine and the performance-oriented M Sport package with bigger wheels and unique aerodynamic bodywork.
Despite the extensive equipment list and impressive power train choices, the X1 will be BMW's least expensive offering when it arrives in dealers starting in September 2012, starting at $31,545 including destination for the sDrive28i. And that's exactly the position it needs to take, as Audi and Porsche move in with their small crossovers.

How To Keep A Long Distance Relationship
With the growing number of relationships starting out online, many people are looking into how to keep a long distance relationship. Long distance relationships can be trying on people and require special approaches and care that differ from face to face relationships in order to prosper. Particularly important aspects of long distance relationships deal in trust issues as well as the ability to withhold any feelings of jealously that result from not being with that person while other members of the opposite sex are. Fortunately, be abiding by a few simple guidelines, a long distance relationship can be kept healthy and rewarding for both partners involved.
- Talk regularly. One of the most important aspects of learning how to keep a long distance relationship is to converse and interact regularly. Much like with face to face relationships, if a couple is left apart for long enough, things can go stagnant; this is particularly truthful with long distance relationships. Talk on the phone or through video chat on a regular basis to help keep the freshness and feelings of love for one another present within the relationship.
- Fight back any feelings of unnecessary jealousy. While it can be difficult, while in a long distance relationship, fight back feelings of jealousy. Jealousy is a major problem for long distance relationships due to the fact that each person involved is unable to be physically with the person while other members of the opposite sex are allowed to be. This can be trying at times, and cause feelings of deception and feeling threatened by non existent competition. By fighting back any outbursts or urge to bring up something arising from feeling jealous, unless there was a blatant breach on the relationship, is a sure bet way to keep the relationship healthy.
- Engage in phone or web cam sex. Help keep the relationship fresh and the urge to look elsewhere for sexual stimulation by engaging in phone and video sex. While in fact this type of sex is not as good as the real thing, it can definitely help bring a sexual element to the long distance relationship that will drastically help decrease the chance of wandering eyes and the prospect of one or both people being unfaithful.

Public Comment
Demolition of Branch Libraries – Not What the Voters Approved
I grew up loving Berkeley's historic architecture. Until age nine, I lived about seven blocks from the West Berkeley Branch Library. I viewed this Classical Revival structure fondly every time I went down University Avenue. Its stone medallions, representing the curved pages of an open book, seemed to invite one into the joy of reading and the magic of books. How appropriate for a library!
Some time during the 1970s the West Berkeley Branch Library was desecrated with blocky additions. When I first saw the renovation, I couldn't believe that anyone could do such insensitive alterations to a stately and classical structure.
In 2004, there was a plan to restore the historic 1923 portion of the building, move it forward on the lot and enlarge the back. But the proposal was not funded and the plan was dropped.
Now, in 2011, funding is available for just this sort of project, because voters approved Measure FF in 2008, providing $26 million to "renovate, expand, and make seismic and access improvements" at Berkeley's four branch libraries.
Despite the clear and simple mandate from Measure FF, the Board of Library Trustees' plan is to use the Measure FF money for a brand new modern library to be built after the historic structure is expunged from the site. The South Berkeley Branch Library is slated for a similar fate.
A matter of social justice
I participated in two petition drives to preserve Berkeley's Landmarks Preservation Ordinance. I gathered hundreds of signatures over several weeks out on the street, and talked to over a thousand people during the process.
Two of my favorite spots to gather signatures were near the Ashby BART station and near University Avenue in West Berkeley. I do not recall ever hearing a resident in these areas say that they wanted Berkeley's old buildings knocked down for modern new buildings, while claims to this effect were not uncommon in wealthier areas. Dozens of African American residents told me that they felt that their neighborhoods were regarded as targets for demolition.
Is it therefore disheartening that the Trustees' plan is to demolish the South and West Branch libraries, while simply renovating, expanding and making seismic and access improvements – exactly what the voters approved in 2008 – to the North Branch and Claremont libraries. What is wrong with this picture?
Berkeley's "public process" is a sham
The vast majority of residents never attend city meetings. Those of us who do, but aren't part of Berkeley's in-crowd know that the decisions have generally been made in advance, and the subsequent process is a sham conducted so that insiders can claim that there was a lengthy public process involving many public meetings.
The process for the plan to demolish the South and West Branch Libraries is the poster child for this phenomenon.
In 2007 there was a top-down plan to move the South Branch Library into the Ed Roberts complex on Adeline Street. Neighbors formed a group called Save Our Library (SOL) to advocate for the preservation and improvement of the South Berkeley Branch Library.
The Library Board of Trustees hired a firm, Hatcheul Tabernik & Associates (HTA), to survey the community's needs. It determined that there would be a favorable response to the move. How it came to this decision is completely unknown.
SOL members therefore did their own survey. They stood outside the South Branch Library for many days and asked people how they felt about the potential move, only to learn that very few people had even heard about it. SOL members found only one person who had actually been interviewed by HTA. They ultimately gathered over 600 signatures asking to keep the library (and historic building) on Russell Street.
The Board of Library Trustees completely ignored this grassroots effort to save the South Branch Library. Just two years later, a "public process" was conducted to "show" that a majority of residents wanted a new library. Those who disagreed were simply ignored (see Steve Finacom's commentary, "Measure FF and Branch Library Demolitions" in the December 15, 2010 issue of the Planet).
The planned demolition of the West Berkeley Branch library is even more outrageous. The West Branch is a designated a City of Berkeley Structure of Merit. Furthermore, the 2008 Berkeley Public Library Branch Libraries Facilities Master Plan (FMP) recommended "restor[ing] the original 1923 branch façade and the lovely interior historic details". The Berkeley City Council decided to put Measure FF on the ballot – based upon the findings of the FMP! Why is demolition even being considered?
It's not nice to fool the electorate
The voters certainly were not informed in 2008 that demolition was part of the Trustees' plan. The text of Measure FF did not reveal it. The City Attorney's Impartial Analysis of Measure FF said "Current plans for renovation include restoration and refurbishment of historic features at the branch libraries as part of any renovation", while saying nothing about demolition.
An attendee of the October 14, 2009 Library Board of Trustees meeting told me that one of the trustees stated that they had always planned to demolish the buildings; they just didn't put it in the bond. The official recording of this meeting mysteriously trails off before this statement was made.
Why was the critical piece of information about the planned demolitions left out of the bond language? It seems obvious to me that the bond measure would very likely have failed if the truth were told. Then $26 million would not beavailable – no millions would be available – to renovate any of the branch libraries.
The citizens of Berkeley voted to support funding to"renovate, expand, and make seismic and access improvements" at the four branch libraries. And that is exactly what should be done.

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD6 and GA-P55A-UD4P Review
The LGA 1156 socket is nothing new, which is not a bad thing. Why? Because it means that users looking to purchase one of the newer i5's or i7's have a lot more to choose from in terms of other hardware. There will be more coolers, more "Optimized" memory, and, last but not least, more motherboards. With all these choices, you should easily be able to find something to suit your needs and that could mean just about anything. If you're looking for something that can accommodate three videocards, you'll be able to find it. If you're looking for a motherboard that features six DIMM slots, you'll be able to find that as well. There are even some boards that use 2-oz of copper in their PCB! Users looking for higher end products will be pleased to know that motherboard manufacturers have released a multitude of high-end boards. These come with all sorts of features that will keep the board cooler, allow you to overclock faster, or use the Internet without booting into windows. It seems as though every manufacturer has found some way to include something special in their product.
Today I'll be taking a look at two motherboards from Gigabyte. The P55A-UD4P, and it's bigger brother the P55A-UD6. Both of these boards carry Gigabyte's "Ultra Durable 3" branding, so there must be something special about them. How will these boards perform, and what special things is Gigabyte offering? I intend to find out.
Closer Look
As always, let's start with the packaging. Both Gigabyte boards came in very similar boxes. The UD4P used a green theme, while the UD6 used a Blue theme and was slightly bigger. Other than that, the boxes appeared to be pretty much identical. The front featured the motherboards name, and a picture of '333 Onboard Acceleration'. There are also three boxes telling you what the '333 Onboard Acceleration' is: USB 3.0, USB Power 3X, and SATA 3.0. The back of the box provides the user with even more details of the boards.
The sides of the box follow the traditional motherboard box theme. Three sides sport the manufacturers logo, as well as the board's name and some minor specs. The fourth side features some more detailed specifications about the motherboard.
Opening the P55A-UD4P's box reveals the board carefully placed in an anti-static bag. The P55A-UD6, on the other hand, is packaged in another box. Not only that, but it is covered in a plastic clamshell. This allows the user to see the board before removing it from its packaging, and it protects the motherboard at the same time.
The included accessories are what you'd expect from a motherboard. You'll receive four SATA cables, an IDE cable, and a SLI bridge. With the P55A-UD6, you'll also receive some less common accessories. These are an expansion bracket that has two eSATA connectors and one Molex connector. To go with this, you'll receive two eSATA Cables, and a Molex to SATA power adapter.
Now, let's take a closer look at the boards!

Fellow blogger and market-goer, Kitchenography and I usually do a "big" brunch on the last day of the Farmers' Market, but since the last market day was cancelled due to the snow, we also cancelled our brunch plans.
It took another couple of weeks to make up this date, and when we decided a destination, Julie picked Woodberry Kitchen, since she'd not been there. We were joined by her husband, who's also a lot of fun and a great eater.
Woodberry Kitchen just started serving brunch a few months ago, and I knew if the brunch was anywhere as interesting as dinners, it would be excellent. Although it was bitter cold outside, the inside of WK was bright and warm, and the hot air wafting towards our table from the wood-burning oven was welcome.We started with coffee in personal cafetière, or French Press coffee maker, which came with a small hourglass so you could time exactly when to press the plunger and pour your coffee. Since I've been using a cafetière for about 25+ years, I knew what to do with it, but for others, it might not have been as obvious.
Julie got a mimosa, which was garnished with a beautifully spiraled orange peel speared as a garnish. I got french toast with a honey-cinnamon butter, along with some house-made sage sausage. The sausage was a little more dense than I like, and it seemed to need more fat to give it a better mouth-feel.
Julie got Eggs Benedict, but instead of ham, it had two crabcakes and Julie had it without the eggs. Mike got shirred eggs with crab, served in a cast iron ramekin, which he said were "interesting". I thought that shirred eggs were softer than his appeared to be. The best thing about Woodberry today was that it was not the mob scene that it usually is. You are generally packed into the restaurant like sardines, and it was a welcome change to have a little elbow room. I love the way the sun is lighting this image.

Beasor Walker, a World War II hero who went on to serve as Tuscaloosa County's sheriff for two decades, died Wednesday.
Beasor Walker, a World War II hero who went on to serve as Tuscaloosa County's sheriff for two decades, died Wednesday. He was 91.
Walker was first elected sheriff in 1970 and served five terms before deciding not to run again in 1990.
"He was that stoic Southern sheriff that you had the utmost respect and admiration for," said Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Ron Abernathy. "He did an incredible job. I can't say enough about him as a person."
Walker is one of the most decorated soldiers in Alabama history. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, he went ashore on the third invasion wave at Omaha Beach and fought in the Battle of the Bulge later that year.
The Army first lieutenant was a platoon leader in the 1st Infantry Division. He had graduated from Tuscaloosa High School just four years before.
"It was a long day," Walker told The Tuscaloosa News in a 2007 interview about D-Day. "There were bodies everywhere. Some were wounded. Some were dead. It was aftermath from the morning. I was just walking through, hoping we could get across the beach without becoming one of them."
As a National Guard commander, he had to keep the peace at the University of Alabama in 1963 when then-Gov. George Wallace tried to block the entrance of two black students to the school.
"That's a day that I wish Alabama hadn't had to go through," he told The Tuscaloosa News in 1997. "I wish we could forget it, but it's part of history and we can't."
Retired Tuscaloosa Police Chief Ken Swindle, hired by TPD in 1974, knew Walker for years. He described Walker as a straight-shooter who brought military discipline to the Sheriff's Office.
"He said what he meant, and he meant what he said," Swindle said. "He leaves a good legacy in law enforcement."
Walker hired Capt. Loyd Baker, Tuscaloosa County Metro Homicide Unit director, as a detention officer in 1986. Just 23 at the time, Baker was intimidated when he saw Walker walking down a hall a short time after.
"Everyone knew that he was military and a war hero," Baker said. "I went up and thanked him for hiring me. He said, 'Be your own man.' I'll always remember that. He was a man of few words, so what he did say, you held on to."
Baker said that he only heard Walker communicate over the police radio twice.
"He depended on his chain of command. That must have been from his military years. He would tell his staff what he wanted and then relied on them to do it. They would get it done. He commanded respect."
Walker was 48 when he was first elected.
"He was a little bit older, more mature," Swindle said. "He brought character to the job. He ran a real tight ship."
Tuscaloosa County Sheriff Billy Sharp met Walker when he returned from the Korean War. Walker owned Walker Oil and Sharp ran a hotel, so they crossed paths in the business community.
"He was just a gentleman and a very respectable person. He did a lot of good for the community," he said.
Sharp got to know Walker better after joining the National Guard. Walker, a colonel at the time, was the commanding officer of his regiment.
"He was the type leader that you respected just from the way he commanded the units," he said. "Even though I'd been in combat, it was nothing like what he did."
Walker counted a Silver Star as one of his many decorations, which he was awarded for his actions on Aug. 13, 1944. Walker told The Tuscaloosa News that troops were under heavy
machine-gun and anti-tank fire near Mahoudin, Normandy. Walker said he waded down a stream and, from an exposed position, destroyed hostile weapons and forced the enemy to withdraw.
His unit crossed the Rhine at Remagen. As company commander, on March 18, 1945, Walker said he returned fire of an enemy patrol that attacked him. He ordered the outposts to take cover and under enemy rocket and mortar fire, directed artillery against counterattacking Germans. He said he
single-handedly took out a machine gun crew and engaged nearby rifleman in hand-to-hand combat, dispersing the group. He said he led an assault against the remaining strongpoints in the western border town of Wallscheid. He earned the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions there.
As the war ended, his unit served as security guard for the Nuremberg Trials. Walker was discharged in December 1945.
Walker was awarded two Purple Hearts. He was once shot through the stomach and returned to the front lines without a trip to the hospital. He was sidelined once when his platoon got into trouble during the Hurtgen Forest battle on the German-Belgian border.
A shell fragment cut through his wool overalls, pants and wool underpants into his right leg.
"The fragment hit on all of the seams of my clothing and pulled the cloth into my leg and stopped it up — that's why I didn't know how bad I was hit at first, I didn't see any blood," he said during a 2007 interview. "But it hurt, it felt like (heavyweight boxer) Joe Louis hit me with a 10-pound sledge hammer."
Walker received a second Silver Star, three Bronze Star medals, the American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, the Combat Infantry Badge, the European Theater ribbon with five Battle Stars, Victory Clasp and Arrowhead for the Invasion of Normandy and several other commendations.
Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6022 Commander Walter Turner, 64, first met Walker when he was around 6 years old. His family owned a grocery store on Park Street in Northport, and Walker's company supplied gasoline.
He wasn't surprised to learn how many commendations Walker received for his service.
"It is unusual for someone to have so many awards, but not unusual that Beasor did," he said.
"He had a good sense of humor, he was always joking around," Turner said. "I remember once when I went to get a pistol permit at the Sheriff's Office, he saw that I had a .22-
caliber chrome-plated pistol. He said, 'Why don't' you get a real gun?' "
Turner talked about the brotherhood that all veterans belong to.
"You have that understanding that when you're out there and your life is in someone else's hands and theirs is in yours," he said. "It's the same with anyone who puts on a uniform — firefighters, police officers, EMTs — and puts their lives on the line every day to keep their communities safe. There's a work ethic that the military has and Beasor Walker always had it."
Walker is survived by his wife and children.
Services will be 2 p.m. Saturday at Forest Lake Baptist Church with Donald Payne officiating. Burial with full military honors will follow in Tuscaloosa Memorial Park with Tuscaloosa Memorial Chapel Funeral Home directing. Visitation will be Saturday from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at Forest Lake Baptist Church.

growth. Minoxidil appears to increase
hair follicles and also thickens the shafts of existing hair so that it grows in thicker.
Minoxidil has been approved for both men and women.
Minoxidil was originally used to
high blood pressure. It is now also used to treat
inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the most common
cause of hair loss. And it is used to treat other causes of hair loss
Minoxidil slows hair loss and grows
new hair. In men, the 5% solution appears to be more effective than the 2%
solution, but it costs more and may have more side effects.
Some people who take minoxidil only grow hair

Minoxidil seems
to work best on people younger than 30 years of age who have been losing hair
for fewer than 5 years.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:

Minoxidil must be used daily. If
you stop using minoxidil, any regrown hair will gradually be lost, and within 6
to 12 months the scalp will most likely appear the same as before
If you
have heart problems, ask your doctor about using this medicine.
Women may have more hair growth if they use minoxidil
along with estrogen (such as hormone therapy or birth control pills).
In women, minoxidil may promote
facial hair growth, especially on the forehead and cheeks.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Watched this live in Springfield….Amazing
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you BELIEVE in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your FAITH and HOPE are in God.
1 Peter 1:18-21
Please tell me that this lights a fire in you! You see we worship a God, not just any God, one that knows your name and provided payment so that one day you will not die, but have an everlasting life with an everlasting God.
And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were SLAIN, and with your blood you PURCHASED for God.
In a loud voice they were singing "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!"
I absolutely love this. God provides out of love. Redeeming Love! Not that any of us are deserving of it, but that out of our imperfections Jesus laid down his life to save YOU. There is no self-help book that does that. There is only one fountain, one well spring, and one saving God. You better find Him.

Banana Buckwheat Pancakes . . . with Wildflower Honey
I learned a new word today . . . . pseudocereal. Yeah, I'm serious. It would seem that buckwheat flour is made from a plant that's not really wheat at all, but something that likes to masquerade as a cereal. Just as a pseudo-intellectual is a human who fancies himself worthy of the academic upper crust when in reality he's probably just mildly smarter than average, buckwheat has a similar identity crisis going on. Who knew plants could do that?
Not to be confused with the Buckwheat character of Little Rascals fame, the common buckwheat plant, also known as fagopyrum, produces small triangular seeds that resemble the seeds of the beech tree; it seems the word buckwheat may be a derivation/corruption of the pronunciation of the Dutch words for beech wheat. Utterly fascinating, right? Mmm hmm, I thought so too. Okay then, moving on . . .
So, did any of that factual flotsam and jetsam matter to me this morning as I was whipping these babies up? No sir, not a lick. All I know is that the basis for these hotcakes--pastry flour enhanced with a meaningful portion of whole grain buckwheat flour, a big over-ripe banana, a pinch of cinnamon, and a dollop of wildflower honey--make for a fabulous breakfast treat. On the heavily traveled thoroughfare of the American pancake continuum, these lean toward the healthier side of town, but you'd never know it based on their rich flavor and pleasing texture. Drizzle even the tiniest amount of honey over them, along with a few extra banana slices, and you have something wonderful with which to start the day.
About this recipe . . .
Adapted from Kim Boyce's recipe for pear and buckwheat pancakes in her appealingbook, Good to the Grain, I halved the amount of buckwheat flour, used regular pastry flour instead of whole grain pastry flour, used mashed banana instead of pear, added in a smidgen of wildflower honey, used canola oil instead of butter, and tossed in a pinch of cinnamon to boot. And, of course, I reworded things to reflect exactly what I did.
Banana Buckwheat Pancakes with Wildflower Honey
(For a printable version of this recipe, click here!)
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1 and 1/2 cups pastry flour
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. canola oil
1 and 1/2 Tbsp. honey (I used wildflower honey.)
1 and 1/4 cups whole milk (I didn't have any on hand so I used 1 and 1/4 cups of 2 percent milk, along with 1/4 cup of half-and-half.)
1 large egg
1 large very ripe banana, mashed
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, milk, egg, and mashed banana.
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently just until blended. Don't overmix.
If you have a nice non-stick skillet, and you prefer to add no more fat to the pancakes, go ahead and use that. Heat it over medium heat for a minute or so.
If using a regular skillet, be sure to add 2 to 3 Tbsp. of vegetable oil (I used canola) to the heated pan. Let the oil heat up, still over medium heat.
When your pan is hot, pour the batter on in 1/4- to 1/3 cup portions. Let the pancakes cook until quite a few bubbles start to form on the top of each one; flip them over with a thin spatula and cook them until their bottoms are quite golden. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Keep going with the remainder of the batter. Serve the pancakes with honey and banana slices on the side.

Ooooohhhh these look lovely! Can't wait to try this pseudocereal-y pancake!

These look so delicious, Jane. And even though I over-indulged a wee bit (it was our wedding anniversary, so I won't feel too guilty about it) these are, after all, healthy. The beautiful bananas, the wildflower honey (which I think my local health food shop should have, or a close alternative to it) and buckwheat flour.
I've used buckwheat many times before - in a Russian/Jewish dish called 'kasha varnishkes.' Kasha is actually buckwheat, and the varnishkes are actually pasta shaped into bowties, or farfalle.
But I digress. These pancakes look absolutely super dee-lish, and so I think I will treat the hubby and myself to some healthy breakfast options, courtesy of another great blog post and recipe from you.
Thanks for sharing, Jane.

The social economy brings new business to France – and Europe
Already very developed in France, the social economy is highly relevant for the EU's Europe 2020 strategy.
In the framework of PROGRESS (Peer Review in Social Protection and Social Inclusion programme) France hosted a Peer Review entitled 'Social economy – laying the groundwork for innovative solutions to today's challenges' in Paris on 10-11 December 2012. Representatives from ten Member States (Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania and Slovenia) and from two European stakeholder organisations (Eurodiaconia and FEANTSA) as well as French experts and officials participated.
Cooperatives in France are serving as business incubators. Just part of the country's thriving social and solidarity economy.
As a translator and language teacher, Nadja Berrebi used to have five or six different contracts, and she was not being paid on time. Then she heard about the COOPANAME cooperative in Paris. She brought several clients with her, and COOPANAME has helped her to contact others and set her own pay rates. "It gives me both autonomy and great security," she says. The ideal combination for any business start-up. It also provides free training, for example in IT, and a ready-made network of other services.
COOPANAME's deal with each of its members is that they draw a wage from their own activity or from an activity shared with others. That wage is to be in proportion with the amount of activity they bring into the cooperative. In return, COOPANAME helps each member to carry out the activity they wish, in the way and at the pace that they wish, in cooperation with whomever they wish.
Like France's other Business and Employment Cooperatives, COOPANAME enables people to test a product or service while retaining employee-style social security through a special "employee entrepreneur" status. These schemes are just one part of the country's flourishing social and solidarity economy. The sector accounts for nearly 10% of French GDP and over 13.3% of the country's private employment. Strongly rooted in services, social action, financial activities and education, it is one of the most dynamic parts of the French economy. In 2008-9, the social economy grew by 2.9% and created more than 60,000 paid jobs. Over the same period, the rest of the private sector shrank by 1.6% and the public sector by 4.2%.
Peer reviewers from ten EU countries visited Paris in December 2012 to see the social economy in action and probe its significance for the rest of Europe. In fact, France is already closely in step with the EU on this. Across Europe, the social economy is a force for innovation, and it delivers better social outcomes. Hence its relevance to the EU's Europe 2020 strategy. This calls for a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy, promoting employment, productivity and social cohesion. The Europe 2020 flagship initiatives "Innovation Union" and "Platform Against Poverty and Social Exclusion" make social innovation a priority.
Europe's social economy has pioneered the creation of new markets and new jobs and it is a major contributor to the European social model. It clearly promotes sustainable development and social inclusion, which are major aims of the Europe 2020 strategy. So the EU is keen to expand its already strong support for this sector.
Dating from 2011, the Social Business Initiative is an EU-level action plan to facilitate social economy enterprises' access to finance, raise their visibility and improve the legal framework for them. Meanwhile, the European Social Fund has been supporting the social economy for more than 50 years now. The new draft European Social Fund regulation will incentivise social innovation and transnational cooperation through a higher co-funding rate. And it includes a new specific investment priority for the social economy. Drawing together three current programmes, the draft EU regulation on the Programme for Social Change and Innovation provides for a budget of some EUR 960m over a six-year period. At least 17% of this will be earmarked for social policy experimentation – including the vitally important social economy.

Insulin signaling
Does insulin floating in the blood signal to the insulin sensitive tissues like muscle and body fat to prepare to absorb glucose
is it the Islets of Langerhans that give out the signal directly somhow?
is it the Islets of Langerhans that give out the signal directly somhow?
When glucose is in the blood (like after you eat a meal and you begin to digest the nutrients giving off glucose molecules that then transport thru the epithelial cells of the GI tract to the blood) it can then bind to a receptor on the islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas. This stimulates the islets to produce insulin that is then secreted into the blood and travels thru out the body. Insulin is a ligand for the insulin receptors that are found on the outside of many cells. Once the insulin binds to this receptor, it initiates a phosphorylating enzymatic cascade system in which the cell then can open the gated channels and let more than the normal passage of glucose into the cells. Storage enzymes are also participating in this particular cascade system, in which the excess glucose then goes into storage mode: glycogen and fat/adipose. This way the blood can be cleared of glucose in a timely manner, otherwise adverse effects begin to accumulate in the body.

Recent Movies you Watched
Well we have a thread to bitch about movies and we have a thread to talk about underrated movies .
Yes I am talking about Underrated and Overrated movie threads .. But we dont have a thread to talk about movies we watched , which dont fall under that category . The movies we watched at cinema or on DVD which are just okay neither underrated or overrated . This is a thread to discuss the recent movies we watched and by recent I dont mean brand new . Something on TV or in Theaters or on DVD . This is a thread to talk about them and grade/state your opinions on them . Remember One man's meat is another man's poison . So liking or disliking a movie is SUBJECTIVE can differ from person to person . Lets keep that in mind ....
The recent movie I watched is Hot Tub Time Machine . The movies I caught on DVD are Slammin Salmon and High Kick Girl ..... H.K.Girl is funny for all the wrong reasons : /

Recently (yesterday) i watched "Ninja" , and i rather prefer this movie than "Ninja Assassin" .
Both got good actions and special effects and the story is different , i will say that the plot is reversed between the two .

I really liked the first half of Ninja Assassin but the second part is nothing short of a disaster . The fights towards the end look childish at times even comical . Was a huge fan of Ninja Movies as a kid so might check Ninja (2009) out . Checking out the trailer as we speak ...

Oh I was gonna make a thread like this a whiles back but could never be arsed to do so
anyway recent flick I went ot see was KICK ASS and indeed it KICKED ASS!!!
While Kick Ass himself was great(it's a pretty awesome anme really for a super hero) the one that stole the show was without a doubt Hitgirl!
Any self respecting comic book fan just has to love her, totally and utterly made of win!
Another movie I seen recently was Terminator Salvation(2 for £25 on Bluray). It was pretty good and thats about all I can say on it really.
Kinda did wish there was some sorta epic battle at one point but was a good watch none the less.
Waiting on Iron Man 2 now!

Sherlock Holmes on TV yesterday, for the second time. It's so awesomely entertaining. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were great, and I was drooling from the badassery of some of the scenes, just like I did in the theatre

I know we are not supposed to name recent film, but I have to offer up "How to Train Your Dragon". It has little to do with the soon-to-be-classic English book series from which the name of the movie and characters are derived, but this stellar 3D film has a very good and well directed story, with good (sometimes even great) voice acting, and wonderful cinematography and amazing environment animation (the hair and clothing were also phenomenal). This is probably the best overall 3D I have seen since the stupendous "Coraline" from earlier last year (the 3D isn't just for effect (i.e. the "wow" moments), as in "Avatar", it is purposeful to the characters and the situations (though it still manages a few "wow" moments )). I highly recommend individuals and families to go and see this fun and exhilarating film.

Saw some nice children books adaptations~ Haven't read the corresponding books, though.
Yes, my inner child will never die I guess Won't complain about it~
Where the wild things are
Saw it on the plane a while ago. Quite embaressing to tear up in your seat when the stewardess comes to throw breakfast at you: "I want the omelette " ....
The story about the little boy, who poses as a wolf, who poses as a king was simply beautiful. I didn't expect it, but it really touched me. Breathtaking visuals, too. I loved their fort. The animatronics seemed to be alive and were very believable in their roles.
Since I don't know the book, I can't really say how well they captured it's spirit, but I liked the spirit of the movie and it's message.
And I'm totally getting a little wolf costume for my kid if I ever have one XD (and the book! :P)
Bridge to Terabithia
Catched it on TV today Tears again at the end ;_;
Strangely, I could really relate to that movie. I was in my fantasy world all the time as a kid, where I fought evil with my cousins or friends or by myself. I still like to dream or delve into fiction when I need a break from reality.
I really felt for the characters. I was happy when they were and I was crushed when they suffered. Thus the end broke me inside with sadness and 'awww'ing. Bad thing happen, but life still goes on. And you can always be the king/queen of Terabithia.
Awesome movie!
Oooh and I rewatched Corpse Bride a few days ago. Reminded me why a Tim Burton film is always a must-check-out. Love the OST, too. The after life is funky~

Late last night, went to see Clash of the Titans.
It was good, worth watching once at least. But the story was extremely rushed and a lot of parts were cut out for the sake of time constraint. But overall despite that it was still an enjoyable movie with a "fun" cast and awesome special effects.

Last movie I watched was the Japanese action movie Versus.
I thought it was okay overall. The acting sometimes went a bit over the top like the cowardly gangster, and the main villain's evil laugh towards the end. Though admittedly, I found Kenji Mitsuda's green suited gangster amusing. And I think the movie could be shortened a bit. There's this really long awkward pause after the first zombie attack that I thought was unnecessary and the police subplot is pointless (though I think that's part of the joke, but the movie's already two hours long and doesn't really need subplots that don't go anywhere)
However, in spite of these flaws, the thing that makes this movie stand out (and probably why it has cult popularity) is the fight scenes. I've seen many action movies with significantly larger budgets than this movie had, but the action scenes in those movies aren't nearly as cool and creative as the fights in this movie. The standouts definitely being the big zombie battle scene that happens right after the main character (by the way, none of the characters are given names) fights the ponytail guy which has the over the top cool moment when the hero carries three guns at the same time, firing two at once and carrying a third one with his mouth, and the final showdown.
Although I thought the movie was okay, I'd still be interested in seeing a sequel, and apparently there was one announced a long time ago, but it seems to be in development hell, so I don't know if it's going to happen.

I watched Ninja Assassin this Easter weekend. It was awesome. In my opinion, the bloodier and gorier the movie, the better.
I also rewatched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen this weekend, too. I'm still pretty sure that I'm one of the only people that liked this movie. Everyone else that I've talked to that's seen it either found it boring or outright hated it.

Picked up Haru (1996) with Fukatsu Eri as Hoshi and Masaaki Uchino as Haru and watched it yesterday. Coincidentally, the characters chat on a "movie forum". I was a bit excited to see the film's small but perceptive nod to Haruki Murakami. Some of my friends christened it the Japanese "You've Got Mail", but Haru is a decidely better and more moving film. I thought You've Got Mail was pretty terrible, actually.
Also watched Lagaan with Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh with my sister and some of her girl pals. Wow, the British actors were awful, and some of the songs brought out a giggle or two, but otherwise it was the first decent Hindi film I had seen in a while. I didn't have half a clue what they were saying half of the time (the subtitles flew by really quickly), but what I did catch was very lyrical.
The cricket match during the second half reeled in my brother-in-law and nephew, who are opposed to all things musical, so I guess it was good on a certain level.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) has granted initial accreditation to West Virginia University at Parkersburg. The council is a specialized accrediting organization that reviews the quality and integrity of business degree programs. ACBSP accredits all business programs at all degree levels.
The ACBSP Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Board of Commissioners and Associate Degree Board of Commissioners meet twice a year in Kansas City, Mo. to review the quality and integrity of business degree programs at colleges and universities seeking ACBSP accreditation. In April, the two Boards granted initial accreditation WVU Parkersburg and 33 other institutions.
"These campuses have shown their commitment to teaching excellence and to the process of quality improvement by participating in the accreditation process. The initial accreditation and reaffirmation of accreditation granted to these institutions shows their commitment to provide the highest quality business education for their students," said Steve Parscale, ACBSP director of accreditation.
A team of faculty members at WVU Parkersburg began the process of seeking national accreditation for the college's business programs more than two years ago. Programs that will now be accredited include the associate of applied science (A.A.S.) in business administration with areas of concentration in accounting, entrepreneurial studies and general business; A.A.S. in business technology; A.A.S. in journalism; associate of science in business administration; bachelor of applied science in business administration with areas of concentration in business information technology, financial management, management and marketing, and public relations; and bachelor of science in business administration with areas of concentration in accounting and general business.
"We were thrilled to get the news of accreditation," said WVU Parkersburg President Dr. Marie Foster Gnage. "We've always been confident in the quality of our business programs, but this official stamp of approval reassures students they are getting an education that meets national standards."
Business, economics and mathematics division chair Steven Morgan and professor Pam Braden provided leadership to the accreditation committee, which also included faculty members Jeff Holland, Stephen Smith and Sy Sarkarat. Faculty members Carol Thomas, Dianne Davis, Roger Lewis, Vijay Shah, John Altman, Debra Baker and Torie Jackson and staff member Lauriel Edwards also contributed.
"I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of our business faculty and staff," said Morgan. "This is a tremendous honor and one that will be very beneficial as we strive for continuous improvement in all that we do. From the senior administrative leadership right through the entire organization, this has truly been an outstanding team effort. I am blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of people."
Colleges and universities initially accredited by ACBSP must undergo a process of reaffirmation every 10 years in order to maintain accredited status.
