Market Name(s): Ahi, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna
Max Size: 250 lbs
Avg. Size: 35-120 lbs
FRESH: Loins (12-20 lbs. average) skin-on or skinless, bloodline in or out; steaks skin-on or skinless, bloodline-in or out.
FROZEN: "Chocolate" loins and steaks, skinless, bloodline out; Red-meated loins and steaks treated with tasteless smoke or CO, skinless, bloodline out.
Never expose loins or steaks to direct contact with ice or water, as meat will become discolored. Red color of loins and steaks will begin to fade to brown after 3 to 5 days exposure to air; loins and steaks should be wrapped in plastic wrap to slow oxidation. Frozen loins will keep 6 months to a year.
Ahi tuna has a texture that is similar to beef, with a much more mild flavor, and is often eaten raw as sashimi or sushi. When cooking ahi, remember it has a low oil content, so cook it quickly at high heat, like swordfish, to avoid drying it out. More and more consumers order ahi cooked medium rare, seared on the outside, but still nice and red in the middle. Pan-searing, grilling, or broiling are all good methods to cook ahi, which is best served simply, often encrusted in pepper.
It wasn't until the 1980s that Americans discovered that all tuna didn't come in a can. Since then, the popularity of fresh and frozen tuna—especially yellowfin and bigeye— has soared. Today, you can find fresh tuna at almost every good seafood restaurant and seafood counter around the country. Seared on a hot grill and served rare, it's a sensational seafood.
With annual landings of more than 900,000 metric tons a year, yellowfin tuna is the most valuable tuna resource in the world. More than 60% of the yellowfin catch is caught by seiners, which brine freeze the catch and deliver it to tuna canneries.
A truly global resource, yellowfin inhabit warm waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Mediterranean is the only warm sea where yellowfin are not fished commercially.
The Hawaiian name, ahi, refers to both yellowfin and bigeye tuna.
"Burnt" tuna describes fish that lack a bright red meat color and have more watery, softer flesh. This condition is often associated with yellowfin caught near the surface of the ocean, often in handline or troll fisheries. Although burned tuna sells for a substantial discount because it cannot be served raw as sashimi, after it is cooked it is very acceptable.
Whether it's caught off Ecuador, Hawaii or Bali, almost all of the true "sashimi-grade" fresh yellowfin and bigeye tuna is sold to Japanese buyers who pay a premium price.
Japan is the largest market for fresh and frozen tuna, consuming more than 200,000 tons a year. The U.S., on the other hand, consumes about 55,000 tons of fresh and frozen yellowfin and bigeye.
Ecuador exports more than 7,000 tons of fresh yellowfin and bigeye to the U.S. market a year, making it the single largest supplier. Trinidad is next with exports of about 4,000 tons a year.
Tuna longliners set their lines at night, fishing waters more than 1,000 feet deep, where larger fish are found. Lightsticks are attached to the line to attract bait fish and hence tuna. During periods of the full moon, fishing with lightsticks is less effective and most boats will deliver during this period, one reason tuna prices tend to be lowest at the full moon.
"Clipper" is a term that is applied to the fleets of longline tuna boats that freeze their fish at -60°F for the Japanese sashimi market. Originally owned and operated by Japanese companies, most of the clipper boats are now operated by Korean, Taiwanese and Chinese companies.
California leads the U.S. in yellowfin catches, producing about 5,000 tons of fish a year, most of which is small fish which is canned. Louisiana is also a leading sources of fresh longline yellowfin. Hawaii is the only state that produces landings of both yellowfin and bigeye tuna. Catches in both Louisiana and Hawaii range between 1,000 to 2,000 tons a year.
Yellowfin and bigeye are graded both by fat content and color, which can be an objective exercise, as standards can vary from supplier to supplier, depending both upon the experience of the grader and the condition of the market. Fish with the highest fat content and the brightest red bring a premium price.
The amount of myoglobin in a tuna's muscle determines its color. The more myoglobin, the redder the flesh. The amount of myoglobin is a function of a tuna's age, physical activity and species.
After the flesh of a tuna is exposed to air, an iron ion in the myoglobin molecule will start to oxidize, which turns the meat brown. For that reason, it is important to keep tuna loins and steaks wrapped in plastic.
Until recently, frozen tuna had to be held at ultra cold temperatures such as -60°F to retard oxidation and prevent the meat from turning brown (brown frozen yellowfin is called "chocolate" tuna). However, exposing red tuna meat to tasteless smoke for up to 12 hours can fix the red color so that tuna held at conventional cold storage temperatures of 0 to -10°F will not turn brown.
Some tuna suppliers use carbon monoxide (CO) to fix a frozen tuna's red color. However, with CO the color can also be enhanced, allowing processors to make a lower grade of tuna appear higher than it is. The FDA requires that seafood exposed to either tasteless smoke or CO be labeled accordingly.
Tuna that are not properly iced after catching and left in the sun can produce histamines. Although histamine poisoning is rarely fatal, it can be extremely uncomfortable.

THE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN LONDON | Darrin Henry
During our 'ask a stranger' street interviews in the city of London (click here for part 1) one of our unsuspecting 'victims' was an off duty police officer.
I don't know about you, but whenever I see a police car on the road coming up behind me, or just passing police officers on the street, I irrationally feel a little guilty! Okay, perhaps guilty is not quite the right word, self-conscious maybe; I quickly check my speedometer even though other vehicles are zipping by me. If I'm out on the street I try to look 'normal' as though I wasn't looking normal before!
Anyway, the point of this ramble is another 'Yikes – police!' moment which turned out to be good fun.
Celia and Kirsty
These two happy ladies caught our attention sitting in the sunshine by the river Thames, chatting and laughing whilst eating ice creams. We were near the London Bridge area on the south side of the river.
Celia (left) has lived in London about three and a half years. "I love how busy London always is. I like that there's so much you can do here, I like that I can walk out my flat and you've got nice places like this where you can sit and there's always things you can do. It's not boring at all."
So what do you do for work is my next question.
"I'm a police officer, so that's always very exciting." (More laughing as my face can't hide my surprise). "It's interesting and busy all the time. Before coming to London I lived in Scotland, that's where I studied in Uni and graduated, then moved down here because there's a lot more jobs.
"Visiting London for just a day – you'd have to stay longer than a day, there's just too much to do down here. I think just walking around, you see so much of the city and you take in so many things. But you need a bit longer than a day really."
I realise it's time to deviate from my prepared questions about sightseeing in London, after all, it's not every day you get to question a police officer! Celia is happy to oblige.
Street Interviews In The City Of London
"Being a police woman in London is amazing and terrifying at the same time. It's really good, it's not like policing anywhere else, it's so busy, especially central. You just see so many interesting things and meet so many interesting people, and that's your job, which is crazy."
Time to shift the interrogation to Kirsty who has been living in Camden for the last month.
"Before that I lived in north and east London. I used to live in Cambridge; I just moved here [London] a couple of years ago.
"What do I love about London? Everything really; it's always busy and there's always something to do, the parks are really beautiful, I love going in the parks. If I had a day in London I'd go around all the parks and go to the jazz clubs, especially the ones in Camden because they're very good."
As a parting question we ask what place should people visit outside of London, anywhere in the world? "Go to Edinburgh," suggests Celia.
It's quite an experience conducting street interviews in the city of London – the response we've had just stopping to talk to people has been amazing.

COBRA Colloquium
- Date:
- 25 September
- Time:
- 15:30 - 17:00
- Location:
- TU/e, FilmTheater of de Zwarte Doos
COBRA COLLOQUIUM: Friday September 25, 2015 at 15:30 – 16:30 in Film Theater De Zwarte Doos.
Speaker: Dr. Aaron D. Franklin, Associate professor at Duke University, Department of
Electrical & Computer Engineering and Department of Chemistry, USA
Title: What Role Will Nanomaterials Play in Electronics?
Abstract: Research into the many exciting possible applications of nanomaterials has exploded over the past twenty years. One of the foremost areas of interest is electronics, specifically the digital integrated circuit that drives all forms of modern technology. While consumers continue to see a world of ever-improving technological gadgets, the underlying hardware has run into on many ominous challenges. Moore's Law, the well-known marching orders of increased transistor count every generation of integrated circuit technology, has struggled and, according to some, died. Between the foreboding scalability challenges of silicon transistors to the increasing difficulty of lowering RC delays in the shrinking interconnect vias, there never was a time when innovation was needed more for the semiconductor industry. Many researchers have proposed that nanomaterials can provide remedies for the woes of silicon-based technology. From carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to graphene to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the list of options and their purported saving potential will be reviewed in this talk. For instance, specific motivations for pursuing a CNT transistor technology for high-performance digital computing beyond the 7 nm technology node will be given; these include the demonstrated scalability of the channel length to sub-10 nm, operation at low supply voltage, and gate-all-around configuration achieved using atomic layer deposition. The remaining obstacles to realizing a CNT transistor technology, including the material purification and placement, will then be considered along with the latest developments toward overcoming each obstacle. Other nanomaterials will be reviewed that are also under consideration for employment as the channel material for digital transistors, including TMDs. The TMD films have become especially popular due to their true 2D structure combined with an intrinsic band gap—the envy of their counterpart, graphene. Recent advances on the utilization of these nanomaterials will be considered and compared to the CNT option. Finally, a brief review of how these nanomaterials could impact other aspects of the integrated circuit will be considered, including their ability to usher in a completely new form factor for computing. Will we ever see the end of silicon computing? Will nanomaterials be the ones to save the day? Will the only future for nanoelectronics be one that is orthogonal to silicon? While definite answers to these questions are out of reach, this talk will provide helpful information for considering them.
Biography: Dr. Aaron Franklin received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University in 2008 and then spent six years on the research staff at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He is most widely known for his work on low-dimensional nanoelectronics with specific emphasis on carbon nanotube (CNT) transistors, including device scaling, transport studies, and advanced integration approaches. While at IBM, Dr. Franklin was involved in many other projects with applications including photovoltaics, thin-film transistors, and supercapacitors. Dr. Franklin joined the Duke faculty in 2014 and now leads the Laboratory of Electronics from Nanomaterials, which has two research thrusts: 1) nanomaterials in high-performance nanoelectronic devices and 2) nanomaterial inks for low-cost printed electronics.
After the colloquium (around 16:30) we organize a mini-colloquium in which two COBRA researchers, will give a short presentation about his or her work.
For the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics Group:
Speaker: Dick van Dam Title: Nanowire solar cells
For the Photonic Integration Group:
Speaker: Yuqing Jiao Title: InP membrane lasers on silicon
The audience is invited to an informal gathering following the colloquium (around 17:00) in the lounge of Film Theater De Zwarte Doos.

What is and is not covered by the FDIC when a Bank Fails
Share on
Many Americans are worried about their bank failing. In other words, they have no idea what will happen to their money if their bank goes under. With more and more banks in trouble, it is safe to say that this concern is only going to increase in the months to come. That being said, you need to know what is covered by the FDIC and what is not. Even if your bank is in good standing, this is still something that is good to know. After all, you never know what is going to change in the future.
Generally speaking, the FDIC insures deposits in most banks and related institutions located in the United States. This helps to protect your money should your bank fail. To go along with this, it is good to know that the FDIC is backed by the United States government. This means that you can trust the fact that the FDIC will insure your money.
How much insurance does the FDIC provide? They provide $100,000 per depositer at each insured bank. You should also be aware that some retirement accounts are insured up to $250,000 per depositer, per bank.
As you can see, if you have more than $100,000 it is important to spread your money around. This will help to insure that all of your funds are covered. For instance, it is much safer to have $100,000 in two banks than $200,000 in one.
The FDIC covers money in checking, savings, NOW accounts, money market accounts, and time deposits such as CD?s.
Now that you know what is covered by the FDIC, it is important to know what is not covered. After all, there is a good chance that you have your money spread out amongst many investment vehicles. The FDIC does not insure money in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, annuities, life insurance policies, or U.S. Treasury bills. If you have money in any of these investments, you should be aware that they are not backed by the FDIC.
If your bank fails, it is nice to know what is and is not insured by the FDIC. In today?s day and age, it is important to keep this knowledge in mind.

In the joy of hunting is intimately woven the love of the great outdoors. The beauty of the woods, valleys, mountains, and skies feeds the soul of the sportsman where the quest of game whets only his appetite. After all, it is not the killing that brings satisfaction; it is the contest of skill and cunning. The true hunter counts his achievement in proportion to the effort involved and the fairness of the sport." Dr. Saxton Pope

The End of Innocence
It was inevitable I suppose. That's what comes with education I'm told. It makes me sad though. To see her shed her innocence so soon. It went something like this…
Me with my diaphragm turkey call "Putt Putt Cluck cluck cluck"
My wife "honey would you stop that."
Me looking a little wounded "but sweet heart I'm wooing you like last year (putt putt cluck)"
My wife, "It's not working because you're trying to call a boy and I'm not a boy"
It was like watching a child shed their belief in the Easter Bunny. On the upside I'm under strict orders to redeem my deer season by getting her a yummy turkey. Fortunately that's a set of instructions I can live with.
This is Easter Sunday and I want to wish you all a Happy Easter. For those of us in Ontario it is also the day before spring Turkey season opens. It's also voting season. Naturally I voted in the advanced poles this weekend. Can't have a piddly little thing like the future of the country interfere with a good day of turkey hunting. So while the rest are making X's on May 2 I'll be free to gobble and cluck my way across the Ontario countryside.
May 8 is my anniversary. It's the first one. Apparently it's paper. I'm not sure what I was expecting along this line but my loving wife surprised me with an early anniversary present. I mentioned that it wasn't paper and she grinned and pointed out the paper price tag attached to it. So now I have a cool turkey vest.
It's a pretty cool vest. It has a nice big puffy seat and good back pad. Takes a water bladder and room for my mouth calls as well as box, pot and locator calls. It has three pockets that have magnetic closures for strikers. More importantly it has the single most important thing you need to ensure you'll always get your turkey. It has this
How can you go wrong with a great turkey picture on your vest?
The shotgun is almost ready. It just needs patterning which is today's project. The choke of choice for this year comes from Indian Creek.
The rest of the shotgun setup was a little stressful. I needed a picatinny rail installed and had to have a gunsmith drill and tap some holes. The job was good but the three days that turned into more than two weeks certainly stressed me out. I got the shotgun back Tuesday of this past week.
The coolest part is why I needed the rail. The aiming system of choice is the Vortex Strikefire.
This thing is great. No parallax past 50 yards and only a tiny bit under 50. The red dot is adjustable in brightness and the glass is good. It makes my shotgun look like a real threat to turkey's. I'm looking forward to trying it on waterfowl as well.
After I took this picture I moved the site farther forward on the rail. I think I like how it performs better but shooting it will be the real trial.
So now we count down the hours. I have a spot all picked out for the morning. The vest is packed and my sidekick for the day, ten year old Ainsley, has been briefed and we're good to go. The Easter Bunny arrived today and in her basket was a webkinz turkey. Hopefully it isn't the only one she gets to see this week.

The Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, yesterday said the Federal Government has not set aside any N60billion to buy phones for farmers in the country.
He said the phones-for-farmers scheme would be financed through the public-private partnership.
Adesina made these clarifications in a statement sent from the United States to media houses in Abuja
The statement said: "My attention has been drawn to the issue of N60billion to be spent on phones for farmers reported in some media sites and papers. The information is absolutely incorrect. My Permanent Secretary was totally misquoted out of context. There is no N60billion for phones anywhere. Let me clarify and explain our policy.
"The distribution of the phones will be supported through an MoU signed between the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Communications Technology and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Women Affairs.
"Out of the 10 million phones, 5 million will go to women. The Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF), which supports expansion of mobile operators into rural areas, through a tax, will support this initiative in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. We intend to work with existing mobile operators in Nigeria through a public-private partnership.
"Our goal is to empower every farmer. No farmer will be left behind. We will reach them in their local languages and use mobile phones to trigger an information revolution which will drive an agricultural revolution.
" Nigeria has 110 million cell phones, the largest in Africa . But there is a huge divide: the bulk of the phones are in urban areas. The rural areas are heavily excluded.
"For agriculture, which employs 70% of the population, that means the farmers are excluded and marginalized. In today's world, the most powerful tool is a mobile phone.
"As Minister of Agriculture, I want the entire rural space of Nigeria and farmers to be included, not excluded from advantages of mobile phone revolution."
Adesina explained why the ministry opted for the phones-for-farmers scheme.
The statement added: "The policy the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is promoting is to get mobile phones to farmers as part of its agricultural transformation agenda to connect farmers to information, expand their access to markets, improve their access to savings and loans and help them adapt to climate change dynamics that affect them and their livelihoods.
"We are also rapidly modernizing agriculture, and we have moved away from agriculture as a development programme to agriculture as a business, so we must modernize and use new tools to reach our farmers.
"Agriculture today is more knowledge-intensive and we will modernize the sector, and get younger (graduate) entrepreneurs into the sector, and we will arm them with modern information systems.

The fourth session of the UN Open-ended Working Group on Ageing (OEWGA) took place last week in New York (12-15 August 2013). The working group was set up in 2010 to discuss the possibility of new human rights instruments to protect older people's rights.
(c) CECTEC
This year Member States discussed the outcomes of the Madrid Plan (MIPAA+10) review, progress on regional human rights instruments in Africa, Europe and the inter-American region and older people's rights to social security, health, employment and non-discrimination.
Strong civil society presence
Civil society presence in general was stronger than ever and united in its call for a new convention on the rights of older people. We were there with a strong team of Affiliates and partners from Slovenia, Ireland, Nepal, USA and UK who intervened in all the sessions, side events and NGO briefings, and met with government delegations throughout the week.
We provided evidence about discrimination and rights violations that are happening around the world. We were also there to demonstrate why the Madrid Plan and regional human rights instruments are insufficient to protect older people's rights. We outlined what the main elements of a new convention should be and spelled out what we would like to see at the next OEWGA meeting.
Our political influencing and Age Demands Action citizen action work before the meeting yielded some good results with, for example, positive interventions from the Slovenian and Nepal Governments. South Africa and Indonesia also offered continued support for a convention.
We were pleased to see other Member States attend for the first time, for example Kyrgyzstan, Haiti and Mozambique. But there were also disappointments: Some Member States who had showed support for a convention last year did not express this support this year. Others who had promised to send delegates to the meeting did not attend.
Our European network
For the first time this year our European network worked on a political influencing strategy for the OEWGA. Our objective was that European Union Member States continue to support the OEWGA and engage constructively in it now and in the future.
We were therefore encouraged to see greater recognition in the EU statements on various issues. These included the gravity of the rights violations and discrimination older people experience, that existing mechanisms are not being used properly in any region and more needs to be done to ensure this.
The way ahead
Member States still remain divided on the need for a new convention on the rights of older people. However, even those who do not think a convention is necessary at this stage recognised the need to continue to discuss how best to protect older people's rights.
The debate at the OEWGA will continue. We have a lot more work to do to build on our successes and keep the process moving towards a new convention.

Having problems with your E-Machines eMachines Desktop PC ?
My computer will only turn on in "sleep mode"
\015 Anytime i turn on my comp, a desktop, it will only start in sleep mode ie. the power button is orange and not green like a normal start up. The cd/dvd opens and closes but the mouse and the keyboard have no power, and the monitor says "screen in power save mode". All i can do is turn it off and on by holding down the power button nothing else...any ideas?\015
Answers :
You have to go to control panel/power options, make sure that you just disable sleep mode or hibernation and also that it is set to turn on and off when you press power button or shutdown. What Operating System are you running ie: Vista, XP? You might need to switch control panel to classic view to see power options. If this doesn't work then sometimes it can be set in the bios. Repost if that is the case and I will give you instructions.
When the computer is on try just pushing the power button in and out once. if this doesn't work you may need to change some settings in the startup setup menu to keep sleep mode off. Usually when a computer is turned on there is something like "press F1 for Bios or DEL (something else) for setup" setup is where you'll want to go. it will look like an old MS DOS program but using your arrow keys to navigate you should be able to change the settings.

Johnny was born in Granard back in 1935, moved to Ballymahon in 1954 and has been married to Mary for the last 61 years, together they reared a big family in hard times.

A large crowd travelled to the Manor in Edgeworthstown where his remains lay in repose and also at his Funeral Mass in Ballymahon which was celebrated by Fr. Tom Barden. We offer our deepest sympathy to Johnny's wife Mary, to his daughters Marie and Jacqueline, his sons Robert, Mike, Joe, Johnny, Paul, Brendan and Aaron, sisters, brothers, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

He was a very prominent player with Carrickedmond G.A.A. over the years and had still been very much involved in the Club where he was always highly regarded.

Tidy Towns
It's clean up time again. Ballymahon Tidy Towns is getting busy again now in the run up to the judging period. We have already been working steadfastly along with the Community Employment Scheme in Ballymahon to improve the town and its environs over the course of the last 12 months and many people have commented on the lovely signage, flower beds and paint work that have been undertaken. But we need to raise funds to continue the good work.
So this Friday evening, Ballymahon Tidy Towns hosts their annual fundraiser table quiz in Skelly's Bar at 9pm. All businesses in the town are invited to have a representative table or if they are unable to participate, a donation towards the work of Tidy Towns would be greatly appreciated. There will be a raffle with spot prizes on the night and great prizes for the winning quiz team. It's hoped as many as possible will come along on the night to lend their support. Tables €40 – max four on a team. Full details on Ballymahon Tidy Towns and Ballymahon Traders Association pages on Facebook. In the first week of May, Wednesday evening and Sunday morning clean ups will begin again. Volunteers are invited to come along to the meeting point at the Library at 7pm on Wednesday evenings and 9am on Sunday mornings to donate an hour of their time to working with Tidy Towns on various projects they are taking on. As adjudication is coming up, Tidy Towns is urging anyone who may be thinking of painting the exterior of their premises to consider doing it within the next six weeks, as it will greatly enhance the towns chances of receiving a higher score when it comes to judging. If there is anyone requiring assistance to get a job like this done, Tidy Towns will try to help out where possible. Keep your eyes peeled for details of this years Best Maintained Premises Competition as well, which will be announced soon following the great success of last years initiative. Finally, Ballymahon Tidy Towns is also urging as many people as possible to come along to the public meeting in relation to Ballymahon Sports Centre which is being held in the Dean Egan Library at half past 8 tomorrow night, Thursday. The Sports Centre site is something that has been remarked upon by Tidy Towns judges for a number of years now and it would be hugely beneficial for the town and for the local residents living in the area if a plan was put into place in relation to it.

When released in 1968, George Romero's low-budget horror film "Night of the Living Dead" was considered one of the goriest films ever. Romero and company created something crude and terrifying, with gross-out special effects of zombies chomping away at humans living and newly dead – images that have endured down through the years.
Think a live theater production of this modern-day classic can't live up to the film? Think again.
For several years running, Maverick Theater in Fullerton has mounted an original, live version of the cult film that's both technically impressive and theatrically spectacular.
Maverick major domo Brian Newell is the show's producer and director, adapter of Romero and John Russo's script, and set, lighting, sound and special effects designer.
The story, of course, concerns a motley group holed up in an old farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania, trying desperately to repel waves of attacks by zombies while awaiting rescue or attempting to get out alive.
Those so trapped are Ben, a former Marine determined to survive; Barbara, a young woman whose brother Johnny (Ryan Clark) was attacked while the siblings were visiting their dad's grave; Harry, Helen and Karen Cooper; and young couple Tom and Judy.
As these would-be survivors quickly learn, the zombies are hard to keep down. While not even gunshots necessarily do the trick, repeated blows to the head seem to work.
As the group's de-facto leader, Scott Foster puts a more human, more vulnerable spin on Ben than Scott Manuel Johnson, the actor who essayed the role in Maverick's previous stagings. Foster's Ben is also tough-minded and resourceful, his ever-watchful eyes epitomizing the character's constant vigilance.
Julie Patzer's Barbara is literally scared out of her wits, shivering in fear – yet unlike the movie, this Barbara takes things into her own hands when it comes to defending herself and the others.
Michael Keeney's Harry Cooper is a stubborn know-it-all, pacing relentlessly, trying to thwart Ben's every move. Keeney and Foster generate tension by defiantly getting up into each other's grill. As Harry schemes to get Ben killed and take charge of the group's fate, Newell wisely downplays Harry's bigotry, expressed as fear and paranoia of Ben.
Alissa Sanchez is a dead ringer for Marilyn Eastman, who plays the high-strung Helen in the film. While she and Keeney constantly snap and snipe at each another, Sanchez shows Helen's brittle side as well as her concern for stepdaughter Karen (Amanda Zukle).
Sean Coutu and Hannah Butcher are far less sympathetic than the film's Tom and Judy. Coutu's voice tense and high-pitched, Butcher's Judy a helpless ninny.
The adapted script retains a simple, unvarnished horror movie/comic book feel, with all its gut-level visceral impact, and its many cultural references to the late 1960s. The pacing of the opening night performance needed tightening, with too many dead spots nearly halting Newell's breakneck momentum. Examples of black humor from the film include a cop's how-to advice for anyone confronted by a zombie: "Beat 'em or burn'em – they go up pretty fast."
Following the first major swarm of zombies is a long stretch of relative calm – the calm before the storm, as it were, of a second and far deadlier zombie attack. During that time, we get period-realistic rolling, black-and-white TV images of on-the-spot reporters interviewing the law enforcement officers charged with ferreting out and killing the zombies.
Pulsating musical underscoring, derived by Newell from some 20 or more soundtracks, adds to the suspense and melodrama. His set ingeniously encompasses both the farmhouse's main floor and its basement, his lighting is jarring and his special effects include bonfires and explosions just out of our sight and the well-timed entrance of a speeding pickup truck.
Heidi Newell's costume designs shine in two areas: the ragged, torn, blood-soaked duds of the waves of zombies; and the fashion statements made by Judy's bright yellow, '60s Mod outfit and Helen's more tasteful, black, white and gray ensemble.
Unconvincing zombies can destroy a staging like this. Newell uses just 14 actors for this purpose, yet they seem like waves and waves of zombies, an illusion made possible by Jax DiBenedetto's makeup design and Heidi Newell's varying costumes for each zombie performer. They are relentless and genuinely frightening.
Fans of the movie already know its shocking twist ending. It's here, all right – but so is a second, even more shocking twist added by Newell to end things on an exhilarating – and terrifying – note.

Dior Bronze Auto Bronzant Tans Your Bod and Boosts Your Mood!
Dior Bronze Auto Bronzant, sounds like a new first person shooter or something doesn't it?
It's not, it's Dior's first ever self tanning collection that replicates the pleasures of the sun. Ooo intriguing.
Yes, it's bronzer on steroids.
Dior Bronze Auto Bronzant creates a natural-looking, luxurious tan while also stimulating the body's ß-endorphins to create an immediate feeling of well-being.
See? Does your bronzer make you feel peaceful and zen-like? Bet it doesn't!
Dior's exclusive Bronze-Perfect Complex adapts to the skin's pH to recreate a natural and even tan while moisturizing agents give a lasting luminosity to the skin.
Each product in the Dior Bronze Auto-Bronzant line features a fragrance with exhilarating top notes of Bergamot and Clementine, sweet and spicy middle notes of Orange Blossom, Carnation and Rose and comforting base notes of Labdanum, Musk and Vanilla.
Adding to these mood-enhancing properties is a plant-based active ingredient Helichrysum italicum that helps stimulate the natural production of β-endorphins, for an immediate mood-lifting sensation similar to the effects of sunbathing.
Dior Bronze Self-Tanning Oil Natural Glow for Face & Body $38 (Nordstrom Exclusive)
This satiny, luminous formula is the first self-tanning dry oil by Dior that ensures unrivalled ease of application and optimal hydration with no oily effect.
Dior Bronze Self-Tanning Crème-Gel Natural Glow for Face $32
This rich, mood-lifting cream glides on with incredible ease. Skin is perfectly moisturized and immediately reveals a healthy glow. The face progressively shows off a natural and even tan.
Dior Bronze Self-Tanning Crème Natural Glow for Body $34
This lightly tinted and moisturizing cream delicately melts into the skin upon application. Skin is immediately bathed in a radiant glow that develops into an even, golden tan.
Tips for application:
- Before application on the face, lightly exfoliate the skin.
- Apply to cleansed, moisturized skin. Wash hands after use.
- Avoid the eyebrows, hairline and contact with eyes.
- Apply sparingly to elbows and knees.
The new Dior Bronze Auto Bronzant Collection for Summer 2012 is available now on counter and online at dior.com
What do you think of an enhanced, mood boasting bronzer?

If you're thinking about selling your home and trying to decide if you should sell now or later, then you'll want to read this blog post because it reveals 4 reasons to sell your home in the spring in Baltimore – you might be surprised!
"Should I sell now?" "Should I sell later?" "What is the best season to sell my house in?"
If you own a property and are thinking about selling then you might seriously want to consider selling in the spring. While houses are bought and sold all year round, here are…
4 reasons to sell your home in the spring in Baltimore.
Reason #1 More Buyers
The first reason is that this is often a time when buyers are looking to buy. During the winter people typically spend a lot of time in their homes. InJanuary they begin to make plans for the future.
Those two things work together too often create a motivation to start looking for houses as soon as winter is over. So, by listing your house for sale at the very end of winter or beginning of spring, you're catching the buyers who are very motivated.
Reason #2 Good Weather For Buyers
While people buy homes all year round, some people find winter too cold or snowy depending on where you live and some people find summer too hot for home buying.
Plus, for you, it can be really messy in the winter as sellers track snow and mud through your home. That leaves the spring – a time when people are already motivated to buy, and the weather starts to work in everyone's favor.
Reason #3 Timing
The spring is the perfect time for buyers, especially when you consider what else is happening through the year. People usually take vacations in the summer, kids return to school in the fall, and winter is filled with holidays and family time. Spring is a time where there are fewer commitments and a little more time to shop for a home and move.
Reason #4 Easier To Move
The final reason is that it's an easier time to move for the buyers and for you! If you list your house at the beginning of spring and it sells in the spring, then the possession date might be late spring, which is ideal for moving. The weather is nice and the days are long, which means you move your stuff out and the buyer can move their stuff in with relative ease and comfort.
If you are thinking about selling your house at any time of year, make sure you know all of your options. And, if you want a faster, easier way to sell then get in touch with us here at Baltimore Wholesale Property.

The annual event features something for all the family, from Bible study, worship, preaching and teaching through to fun and relaxation, and dedicated children's groups.

The main character in this show is 22. It's a show made for adults. This is what adults are now.
I think I like this but I can't tell
Mr. Purple Cat Esq.
Most of my 20's was spent being a waster . It was only when I was approaching 30 that I decided I had to sort out a proper career for myself. I've done that and now my next goal is to buy a house or apartment.
Anyway it seems quite common nowadays for the 20's to be an extended adolescence.
Not necessarily a bad thing. I spent a lot of my waster time reading lots of science + history, reportage books and I've felt I have attained a pretty good general understanding of what is going on.
Also I learned how to make music and started some bands, which is an awesome past-time to have.
Adham Nu'man
This is shit.
I liked the first two episodes but this one lost me somewhere. I think it was the crab.
The crab felt unnecessary and forced.
Still, five stars because everyone loves Gravity Falls and Adventure Time, which are unabashadely kids' shows. We as a society have all been manchildren since at least Gen X, probably since the hippies, and there's no point in pretending otherwise.
Kid Fenris
I long for the days when you were an adult at 15 and likely to die in a war or childbirth or of the dropsy before you were 25.
It's a mixed blessing, evolving into an Eloi. I don't know if I'd long for the days of human maturity, since on the balance we are clearly better off now (materially speaking, at least). However, I am willing to concede that if there were any cosmic justice in the universe, our medieval ancestors would be teleported to today, and we moderns would all be teleported back to the age of plagues and famine.
I think the entire joke of this show is, "This is what adults are now." The creator of this show is like 25 and this is basically her satirizing herself.
Caminante Nocturno
I am seeing a lot of self-awareness in the way the show depicts Bee, even if it does lay it on pretty thick at times.
Heh, that kickstarter seems like it was the biggest bait and switch job. The new design and characterization of bee has turned her into a stubby mentally retarded adult child. So essentially this is a show for tumblr users.
Kid Fenris
Yeah, this got lame really quick.
Thanks, I was wondering what 4chan thought of this show.
Caminante Nocturno
We won't know what 4chan thinks of this show until they start producing porn of it. I'd recommend pairing her with Frederica from Hitsugi no Chaika.
Did anyone who complains about the "new" characterization actually watch the pilot? She was always like this.
As of the time of this writing, there are 31 Bee and Puppycat pictures on paheal. Most of them are solo girl, but there is at least picture of Bee and some kind of gigantic space troll.
If it were anymore stereotypically tumblr "cartoonist" every character's nose would be colored some shade of red and/or a misshapen blob
Caminante Nocturno
Ooh, is there any Cardamon hentai out there??
I'm asking because I'm not going to go looking and I expect someone here to go looking for me.
Mon or Mom? I assume he's named after the spice, which is spelled with an "M", but I will check into both and get back to you.
Nope, can't find anything. Looks like you may have to draw it yourself.
On the plus side, Pixiv seems to be receptive to this series. Here is my favorite piece so far:
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=4 7194879
Dragoon, cat, girl, or warrior Frederica?
Caminante Nocturno
Oh man, it's so hard to choose.
lol random i like adventure time too lets play cards against humanity
Adham Nu'man
^ *****
Caminante Nocturno
I don't think I could handle being around someone like Bee for long periods of time. Cardamon seems like a good kid, though. They should just make the show about him.
3 stars for Cardamon, plus one star for Vocaloid-voiced Puppycat.
Maggot Brain
Huh, maybe it's a good thing that network shows have to answer to sponsors and programming directors...
Spaceman Africa
This just made me wish I was watching anime
This show got very stereotypically "hack Tumblr cartoonist" very quick, that first installment at least had a little charm but apparently the creator ran out of her supply of charm real quick.
Not that there aren't good artists who happen to be posting their work to Tumblr, there are, but a lot of that noodle-limbed, scrawly garbage produced by people who obviously want to produce the next Adventure Time or Steven Universe or what have you so badly seems to have staked it's claim on that corner of the internet. And sometimes it actually makes it to print or production, unfortunately.
I can see the Adventure Time comparisons, although Adventure Time was not the first thing to incorporate that noodley-armed/minimalistic look (it was pretty popular with hipster artists back in the early Noughties). However, I'm getting more of an oldschool Doraemon/ Ghibli/ chibi Go Nagai feeling from this, and there's at least as much Sailor Moon and stoner-MLP as there is AT.
Natasha Allegri got her start as a character designer for Adventure Time. Of COURSE her character designs will therefore seem somewhat Adventure Timey.
Oh, that's a fact I was aware of, even the mild controversy surrounding her fanart of the princess and the vampire girl from AT that got a lot of the crazy Adventure Time fans all het up one way or another - she's not a bad artist, but I'll just say again the first installment of this cartoon had some charm to it; this most recent one seems like something one the aforementioned Tumblr Brigade of Mediocre Overly Twee Cartoonists would come up with, all that's missing is a main character with a half-shaved Skrillex hairdo or a red bulb of a Tumblr nose
Okay, dead horse beaten. One trick pony has finished the show.
Could have been something, wasn't.

Transmission line project development harbors curiosity to the market's stability and new job opportunities. Stakeholders, such as area landowners, communities, and industries are interested in job, property value, construction, and compensation impacts.
Economics are broken up into three components:
- Direct impacts are used to predict change in a local setting. Factors affecting transmission line projects include, operating expenditures such as capital, construction labor, wages, taxes and dividends.
- Indirect impacts have a wider scope than direct impacts and are more difficult to quantify. These impacts are items that are needed to satisfy the direct impacts. They are derived from anything that affects the product's lifecycle. Examples include: jobs from distributors or suppliers to the company, secondary industry jobs and employee taxes.
- Induced impacts pertain to when project employees purchase goods for personal use with personal finances outside of the work environment.
Local economies are largely focused on the induced impacts in order to plan what infrastructure to build or improve.
Economic Values Impacts & Mitigation
Cultural differences, long vs. short-term employment, local economies, and property values are all factors impacted by transmission line projects. Typically, transmission line projects are brought into a community to boost the job market and local economy however, depending on the existing industries, cultural values, and businesses, the project may have adverse effects.
Typical on-site jobs include: "Welders; mechanics; pipe fitters; plumbers; machinists; electricians; carpenters; construction and drilling equipment operators and excavators; surveyors; architects and designers; geologists; hydrologists; electrical, mechanical, and structural engineers; HVAC technicians; researchers; and government employees."
Typical offsite job opportunities exist at restaurants, bars, hotels, casinos, and grocery stores.
The following mitigation measures will decrease the impacts incurred by communities, construction companies, federal agencies, and project employees:
Cultural differences
- In areas of low socioeconomic status, the workforce demographic is largely uneducated. A limited number of community services and programs are available to improve education, professional skills, housing and nutrition. This is especially true on tribal lands where several transmission line projects pass over. Mitigating these conditions include partnering with governing bodies to provide public services to improve quality of life and socioeconomic standing.
- Long and short-term jobs result from transmission line development and have the potential to impact local businesses positively or negatively. Positive impacts can be incurred by the overall local economy, while negative impacts include high labor demands for project development, leaving a smaller pool of people to work locally.
- To mitigate adverse conditions, survey the local economy over a long period of time or access data to identify trends when industry or businesses moved in and moved out.
Property Value
- To decrease negative impacts, community and business members can attend planning meetings to take an active role in selecting the transmission line's pathway, and to understand the financial commitments incurred by the project.
