A man has been charged with burglaries, thefts and other offenses after he allegedly broke into a car and three homes in the Camp Sibert neighborhood in Attalla, Police Chief Dennis Walker said.
A man has been charged with burglaries, thefts and other offenses after he allegedly broke into a car and three homes in the Camp Sibert neighborhood in Attalla, Police Chief Dennis Walker said.
Timothy Scott Mims, 37, was arrested Wednesday after he was seen peeking in a window at a home in Attalla, Investigator Gerald Williamson said.
Mims allegedly ran into the woods when he realized the woman inside the house had seen him, Williamson said.
A short time later, an Attalla police officer saw a man walking down the street and stopped to talk to him. The man said his car was broken down. The officer gave him a ride to his car, then discovered he apparently had made up the story about the car breaking down.
Officers determined Mims was the person who allegedly had broken into the car and three houses, Williamson said.
The crime spree he is charged with began sometime on the night of Dec. 3 or the early morning hours of Dec. 4, when a car at a home on Hannah Avenue was broken into. A wallet was taken from the car.
Homes on Hale and Fayette streets and Brown Avenue, all in the Camp Sibert area, were broken into sometime between 8 a.m. and noon Dec. 4, Williamson said.
Someone tried to use a debit card at the Attalla Walmart that had been taken from the wallet. Williamson said investigators were at Walmart on Dec. 5, looking at surveillance video of the person who had used the debit card, when the call came in about the man peeking in the window.
It was determined that the man police picked up for peeking in the window was the same person seen on surveillance video using the debit card.
Mims at the time of his arrest had some old coins in his pocket taken during a burglary. Williamson said he admitted breaking into the houses and the car.
The wallet and the identification contained inside were recovered near Mims' place of employment in Gadsden. Some of the jewelry taken in two of the burglaries has been recovered.
A burglar alarm sounded at one of the homes and nothing was taken.
Mims is charged with three counts of third-degree burglary, unlawful breaking and entering a vehicle, second-degree theft, third-degree theft and fraudulent use of a credit or debit card.

Why You Should NEVER Put A Lemon Wedge In Your Drink
If you're privy to a night out on the town, odds are you've consumed a few drinks with refreshing lemon slices inside.But have you ever stopped to think a little more deeply about the citrus pieces in your drink?
It's kind of creepy.
How clean are they? For one study published in the Journal of Environmental Health in 2007, researchers swabbed lemon slices that were on their drinks at 21 different restaurants.
They found that almost 70 percent of the slices produced some sort of microbial growth, including 25 different microbial species.
"The microbes found on the lemon samples in our investigation all have the potential to cause infectious diseases at various body sites, although the likelihood was not determined in this study," wrote the researchers.
"Restaurant patrons should be aware that lemon slices added to beverages may include potentially pathogenic microbes."
The thing to remember is that people are touching the lemon in your glass with their hands when they cut it and squeeze it.
It's running through their hands into your drink - and who knows how vigilant they are with their hand washing. The slightly good news is that most drinks may have enough alcohol inside to kill the bacteria, but even still, no amount of alcohol will kill viruses, only bacteria.
If you're especially concerned about germs though, simply ask for the citrus slices on a small plate, squeeze the juice into your drink yourself, and then skip dropping the whole wedge into your drink.

Where do Idiots on the Field go after they're caught? What happens to them? Extra Mustard spoke to a few of them and asked why they did it, and how they're doing now.
The Hill sisters—Kayleigh, Torrie, and Emily—gave us one of the greatest GIFs ever—as they sprinted across TD Ameritrade Park during this year's College World Series. One sister actually later connected with the security guard who wrangled her:
Emily Hill: Soon after that night, I tweeted about the security guard who grabbed me, something like, "I hope he follows me". He did, and then he DM'd me, and we actually talked for a little while. Then, later on I ended up being a match with the Mississippi State pitcher on Tinder, and so he messaged me and he was like, "You ran the field right before I was about to pitch. Nice."
Yannis Carayannopoulos, the kid who jumped on the field at Rogers Centre during a Red Sox-Blue Jays game in a Speedo with "YOLO" plastered across his chest, got some respect from Drake and other unlikely sources for his stunt:
Carayannopoulos: My parents were furious. I was grounded for a decent amount of time, and they told me I had to fix any resulting messes on my own. But at school the next day, I got a standing ovation in my homeroom class. And then when I walked into the cafeteria at lunch, I got another standing ovation. I even got called down into my vice principal's office and was congratulated.
Mark Harvey, the Batman-themed streaker from a 2012 Orioles game—whose act led to the "Idiot on the Field" term being coined—was also interviewed, along with a few more subjects. The whole thing's worth reading.

Last I checked, MPICH and LAM are not proprietary. They do however have different ABIs, though they expose nearly the same API. Moreover, a code compiled with LAM 7.0.3 does not seem to like being run using the LAM 7.1.1 tools (and if there is a way to do this, please, someone, let me know offline!!!). If this is supposed to work, I'd be happy to file a bug report. > after all, the real appeal is that N MPI implementation only need to test > their own conformity to the standard, and M applications test their > conformity. ie, N+M tests, rather than N*M without an ABI. this > assumes that the ABI/standard is broad enough, of course!

I and my wife to be visited this place as we needed time alone from our busy schedules, it was a great time we had here and hope to come back again. The location is a little bit out of our taste and getting there was difficult as the road was not to pliable. The spot is great and I think romantic as we had a great time here. The environment, the atmosphere, good air and nice climate without mosquitoes was a good deal. The price is quite reasonable for the services and the staff made staying here worthwhile. They would engage us in conversations and we would talk for some time and they were all smiles throughout our stay here in May 2014 and we stayed for 6 days before going on our way. It is a relaxing spot for both couples and family going out on vacation and I highly recommend it. Their restaurants offer varieties and you will love most of them, at least I am very picky when it comes to things I eat but they really surprised me. At dinner time, you will find a very nice and talented Cuban band playing which I later noticed that most of the staff was part of the band, that's pretty amazing. I never wanted to visit here at the beginning but I decided to go give it a try and see what comes out of it and I went along with my fiancée. The rooms were great, clean and tidy and the staff was amazing.

We rented a car and travelled through East Cuba. A bit bumpy track, but on your way from Holguin to Santiago de Cuba, it is worthwhile to go through the mountains, visit the waterfall and (30 - 45 minutes further) stay overnight at the villa Pinares de Mayari in a log-cabin for a mild price. You can even book it through internet. When we were there, there were not so much people, but the personnel is extremely nice, the cook is good and it is quiet. If you stay a day longer you can swim in the pool or in the lake, climb the mountain in 2 x 1 hour and visit the botanical garden (an interesting walk with a guide; tickets at the hotel). But then it is time to leave the quietness and travel on for the music in Santiago de Cuba.

You have to want a different Cuban vacation to come here. There is no beach. You are in the central Cuban highlands in an area of plantations where coffee grows under the pine trees. The road from the airport in any direction is rough but easiest to approach from the town of Mella north of Santiago. The resort is like something out of Algonquin Park in Ontario! The cabins are constructed pioneer sytle from pine logs. In winter months the air can be cool at night and the small swimming pool might be better for ducks in those months. Nearby you can find an orchid research station, a beautiful waterfall with a soaker pool at the top with a magnificent view of the Bay of Nipe and an agricultural research station with cocao, coffee and black pepper growing. This area is great for birders as the forests attract many species uncommon along the coast. We were joined during our stay by a Swiss couple who were, like us, motoring around off-beat Cuba. Other than that there was only a busload of Europeans who settled in for a sleep and then left. Food was adequate, the bartender is your nightly entertainment (get a dance lesson!). Some acoustic musicians show up - tip well, they've come a long way! We paid about 30 CUC/ night breakfast included. Meals are quite cheap. Ideal for those that prefer travel to tourism.

Poor attendance at the Sydney Good Living Wine Show late last month meant that the master classes that were going to cost from $25 to $75 were opened to those who did attend, at no charge. I went to this Champagne tasting, the Shiraz class led by Huon Hooke and a tasting by Buller of their range of fortified wines (up to the Calliope Rare Muscat and Tokay) matched to a range of handmade chocolates.
Gauthier "Grande Reserve" Brut NV
A subdued nose of pear, plum and a hint of yeast and toast. The palate is easy to drink and shows good balance between fruit and acid, but it finishes short and lacks character and depth.
Gauthier "Special Bottle" Brut 1999
The nose is again fairly subdued with lime, apple and floral notes initially and some honeyed aromas with a small amount of time in the glass. The palate has better intensity and slightly more depth than the NV bottle but still really lacks the character to make it a great wine rather than a good wine.
Lanson Black NV
This bottle lacked the vitality and freshness on the nose that was enjoyed in the last bottle that we had at the Cullen and Moss Wood tasting. The nose is soft and gives off scents of yeast and some apple. The palate is crisp, light and driven by acid.
Lanson Rose NV
Reserved nose of light strawberry and rose petals. There is a slight rounded sweetness to the palate that follows all the way into the medium length finish. No excitement and no real depth of flavour, but it is easy to drink and many would find it delicious.
Lanson Gold Label 1996
The first wine that exhibits layered aromas on the nose - grapefruit, lime, toast, light honey and some florality. The palate is concentrated with satisfying mouthfeel and a core of acid driving the wine into a finish with excellent length. Drinking well now, but I think it will get better with time.
Lanson Gold Label 1990 (from magnum)
Much better than the bottle we had at the Winestar Lanson dinner last year. Some honey, yeast, gingerbread and brioche as well as acacia flowers. Lovely palate depth and length with acid that is restrained but carries along the whole length of the wine into the long finish. Seemed as though it is drinking at its peak right now.
Lanson 1976 (from magnum)
A very fine bead. An intriguing nose of honey, walnut, figs and citrus peel. Brilliantly complex palate with depth, balance, intensity and a stunning core of fresh acidity providing focus and structure. Superb.

We tried to contact Poco Systems several times now, because we wanted to install at several customer networks to replace other mail clients.
We asked for detailed partner infos, but noone seemed to be interested in futher business relationsships to germany. This is very regretable since we miss the professional attitude regarding customers with the intention of registering BarcaPro for what it seemed to be intended.
Should PocoSystems really be interested in any partners here in germany I would kindly suggest they answer their mails and stop ignoring our requests.
Damn, this makes me angry while writing. I'm trying to kick Outlook out of out networks and the only potential competitor doesn't react properly!!

Taylor Swift does it every time she's onstage. And it always works.
One verse and one chorus into booming opener "State of Grace," she turned to give the crowd a steely gaze. It grew into a wry smile, then her eyes darted from left to right. It was all Toyota Center needed to erupt into a chorus of ear-piercing screams that rarely subsided during her set.
Swift's gift has always been her ability to connect, both in lyrics and onstage. That unique talent has blossomed throughout her local appearances, from a 2009 RodeoHouston date to 2011 at Minute Maid Park. (All sold out, by the way.)
Thursday night, she was at the peak of her powers. Gone was the oh-my-gosh wonderment (mocked mercilessly by pretty much everyone). Swift was coy and confident, flirty and feisty. She thanked the crowd for selling out the venue "in a matter of milliseconds" and for making her music "the soundtrack to your crazy emotions."
She wasn't exaggerating. There were glowsticks and tutus and glowing tutus and a sea of red, from T-shirts to wigs to suspenders. (It was a nod to the title of her fourth album, which made up the bulk of the set list.)
Swift alternately pranced and strutted around the massive stage, a maze of screens and stairs and color-coordinated backup players. She looked the perfect pop star: high-waisted shorts, cascading blond hair, ruby red heels. She pounded on a drum during "Holy Ground" and strummed a sparkling guitar during "Red." Album cut "Stay, Stay, Stay" morphed briefly into the Lumineers hit "Ho Hey."
Shout-along hit "You Belong With Me" was transformed into a '50s-inspired, burlesque-lite number (more in style, less in actual removal of any clothing). Swift continues to grow as a vocalist, imbuing her lyrics with new layers of nuance and emotion. She was particularly charming during the retro groove of "The Lucky Ones" and anti-bullying anthem "Mean."
She strummed a banjo, dressed up like a ringmaster and a fairytale princess, was carried by dancers into the crowd, floated across the venue and played to the back seats. She introduced "Fearless" as a song about "a wonderful first date I had in the great state of Texas." Cue cheers.
It's to Swift's credit that amid so much flash and sparkle, she never gets lost. Her mischievously sweet personality is what carries every moment, every song, every stage trick, from top to bottom.
Ed Sheeran's half-hour opening set wasn't too different from his sold-out January show at Bayou Music Center. Just him, a guitar, a loop pedal and a mess of red hair.
But this time, he was doing it in front of a considerably larger crowd. Sheeran could have gone bigger, hired a band, amped up the star power. That he chose to stand alone in front of so many screaming girls was some small act of bravery.
The unassuming singer-songwriter got a big lift penning a hit for One Direction ("Little Things") and teaming up with Swift on "Everything has Changed" (which they performed during her set). His own material is built on an acoustic framework but benefits from clever hip-hop and R&B touches.
He ran through the best tracks on 2012 album "+," including "Give Me Love," "Drunk," "Lego House" and a searing "You Need Me, I Don't Need You." Breakout hit "The A Team" was oddly sweet — a sea of swaying cell phones and girls singing along with the gentle tale of drug use and prostitution.

Post Game Press Conference
Bob Daniels, the all-time winningest coach in Ferris State University men's ice hockey history, reached another milestone in his collegiate coaching career by registering his 300th career victory in the Bulldogs' 4-1 Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) triumph over Bowling Green State this Friday (Jan. 7) evening at the BGSU Ice Arena in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Daniels has presently compiled a 300-342-73 (.471) mark in 19 seasons as Ferris State's head coach. Daniels, who took over the head coaching reigns prior to the 1992-93 campaign, has lead the Bulldogs to six winning seasons highlighted by a school-record 31-10-1 mark in the 2002-03 season. Ferris State would not only capture its first CCHA regular-season championship title, but also make its first NCAA Division I Tournament appearance. For his efforts, Daniels was selected the recipient of the 2002-03 Spencer Penrose Award as American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) Division I Coach of the Year and also the CCHA's Coach of the Year.
A 2007-08 and 2009-10 CCHA Coach of the Year Award finalist, Daniels earned his 100th coaching win on March 6, 1999 with a 2-1 victory at Michigan State in the regular-season finale and picked up his 200th coaching win on Dec. 4, 2004 following a 6-2 home triumph over Western Michigan.
Prior to this 2010-11 season, Daniels was listed tied for 16th in victories among active NCAA Division I coaches and ranked 48th place all-time in victories.

Sarah Palin In Baltic, SD
Sarah Palin is hanging out in South Dakota. She was the key note speaker at the Ag PHD agricultural field Day on Thursday.
The Washington Times reported this earlier this week:
"It's an honor to get to travel with my entourage, er, that would be Piper, to be with those who are feeding the nation," Mrs. Palin said in a Facebook post about the one-day event.
The goal of it all, say organizers Darren and Brian Hefty, who are both rural media moguls and farmers, is to showcase the best ways to raise crops. There's a free lunch, a free supper and complimentary snack goodies. There's a corn panel, a soybean panel, and forums on drainage laws, crops insurance and grain marketing. The kids' area is crowded with games and giant inflatable toys.
Sarah Palin may not live on a farm in Alaska, but don't you suppose she can see one from her house??

Prismacolor Pen Print (diptych)
A complete set of 156 Prismacolor Markers (arranged following manufacturer's numbered color chart) held within inverted glasses, one ream of 25" x 38" uncoated, 40 lb. paper, divided into two stacks.
This work is adapted from Pantone Pen Print a 2006 edition of a total of 73 prints using a full set of Pantone markers.
Over the course of the 39 days of the exhibition (September 18 through October 26, 2008), the paper absorbed the ink from the pens. The sheets at the top of each stack absorbed more ink than the sheets farther away from the tips of the pens. The result is an edition of organically related prints, each unique.
The ink reached the 31st sheet in the stack of paper that comprises the top half of the diptych and the 29th sheet of the stack that comprises the bottom half of the diptych.Prior to discovering the extent of the edition, it was determined that the price of each diptych would equal the highest number of sheets stained by the ink.

TRICARE beneficiaries could see some of their prescription drug costs spike next year if the final Defense authorization bill that Congress sends to the White House is silent on the issue.
Republican senators objected to an amendment in the fiscal 2013 Defense authorization legislation that would have capped certain TRICARE costs, paving the way for the Obama administration to implement higher pharmacy co-payments for beneficiaries. The Defense Department has the authority to increase prescription drug co-payments if Congress is silent on the issue.
Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and John McCain, R-Ariz., led opposition to the bipartisan amendment that would have modestly increased TRICARE co-payments for name-brand and nonformulary drugs next year, scuttling the provision before the chamber could vote on it and before final passage of the bill Tuesday evening. The amendment, offered by Democrats Jack Reed of Rhode Island and Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Florida Republican Marco Rubio, also would have capped pharmacy co-pays beginning in 2014 to align them with the annual retiree cost-of-living adjustment.
Under the administration's proposal, TRICARE beneficiaries would pay double and triple what they do now for brand-name drugs. Beneficiaries would pay $26 for a brand-name prescription at the pharmacy and through the mail for a 90-day supply, and a $51 co-pay for a three-month supply of nonformulary drugs received through the mail under the White House plan. Currently beneficiaries pay $9 for a 90-day supply of brand-name drugs through the mail, and $12 at the pharmacy for a month-supply. For nonformulary drugs, enrollees currently pay $25 for both home delivery and pharmacy. Under the failed Reed amendment, co-pays would have been $17 for brand-name drugs at pharmacies and $44 for nonformulary drugs. Co-pays for 90-day prescriptions obtained through the mail would have increased to $13 for brand-name drugs and $44 for nonformulary medication under the provision.
TRICARE beneficiaries would retain the $5 monthly co-pay for generic drugs obtained at a retail pharmacy under every scenario.
The costs associated with the fee increases in the Reed amendment would have been offset by a pilot program requiring TRICARE for Life recipients to obtain maintenance drug refills through the mail -- an estimated savings of $300 million. That program, however, would have increased the amount the government pays into the TRICARE-for-Life trust fund. Similar language in the House-passed Defense authorization bill included a provision that would require the Pentagon use the money it has saved from TRICARE over the past few years -- about $3 billion -- to pay the cost incurred by the mail-order pilot program. The Pentagon has over-budgeted for TRICARE in the last couple of years based on the rising cost of health care and personnel costs and has reprogrammed some of those funds to help pay for increases in war costs.
But Coburn called the pay-for an accounting trick, and said it would take $1.7 billion away from operations, maintenance and training. "I am OK with mail order. I know we save a lot of money with that, but the [Congressional Budget Office] says as soon as we stop this one year, the mandate is going to go back the other way and the cost is going to be this amount of money," Coburn said Dec. 4 during debate on the Senate floor. "They have met the literal requirements of pay-go, but they haven't met the functional requirements." Coburn praised the Obama administration proposal, noting that the Armed Services Committee had recommended similar hikes. "This is not a large amount of money, unless you are absolutely destitute, in terms of the copays."
Military service organizations were not happy with the Reed amendment block. "This amendment was [our] top priority for the Senate bill, and its failure over what amounts to an accounting technicality (trust fund deposits are not actual outlays, but amount to ledger entries) is disappointing in the extreme," said Kathy Beasley, deputy director for government relations at the Military Officers Association of America, in an email. Beasley pointed out that the Pentagon has shifted money from its health care budget to other programs, not vice versa. "We think DoD should be spending health care money where it belongs -- on health care."
McCain echoed Coburn's comments and said it wasn't the time to add an additional cost, and quoting a Dec. 2 editorial from The Washington Post endorsing the administration's TRICARE proposals. He also indicated that TRICARE beneficiaries eventually will have to pay more for their health care. "I understand the positions of the veterans groups in this country. I respect them. I love them, and I appreciate them. But we are going to have to get serious about entitlements for the military just as we are going to have to get serious about entitlements for nonmilitary."
Beasley said MOAA and other groups will lobby House and Senate conferees to retain the House-passed version of the Defense authorization bill, which also includes modest increases to pharmacy co-pays. "We're grateful to our three Senate sponsors for taking the lead on this critical issue, and will work to see that their efforts were not in vain," she said.

Director Ivan Reitman has had a lot of success outside the world of horror, mostly in the realm of wacky, star-studded comedy. He first struck comedic gold in 1979 with a young, top-of-his-game Bill Murray in 1979's Meatballs. He followed that in 1981 with Stripes, perhaps still the funniest army movie ever made. And then he and Murray mixed giggles and ghosts in the 1984 blockbuster Ghostbusters and its sequel. By the time the 80s drew to a close, it was clear that not many directors could do wacky big-budget comedy like Reitman.
But nobody starts at the top--often it takes an artist a few false starts before he finds that perfect vehicle for his unique talents, the one that will allow him to showcase his abilities in the best possible way. Ivan Reitman is no exception to this rule, as proven definitively by his last pre-Murray flick, the 1973 would-be horror/comedy Cannibal Girls.
We open in the snowy, craggy Canadian wilderness, where a couple spreads a blanket on a comfortable-looking snowbank so they can lie down and make out--I guess when you're Canadian, you get used to the cold. Before they can generate any significant body heat, however, a mysterious figure clad in a knee-length skirt, nylons, and sensible shoes strolls out of the woods and pickaxes the both of them! Just goes to show the wisdome of the old maxim: GET A ROOM.
Meanwhile, in the extremely ugly rural town of Farnhamville, an old van goes by with a telling legend on the side:
Sheriff (Bob McHeady, doing a pretty fair Edward G. Robinson impression), informs the local doctor "It looks like we've got another one!" and sends some boys to collect the corpses. This is a town with an industry, and it's obviously not tourism.
But despite the almost universal agreement in horror films that it's NEVER a good idea, there's always some tourist who likes the idea of going off the beaten track. In this film it's hippie couple Cliff and Gloria, played by future SCTV stars and comedy middleweights Eugene Levy and Andrea Martin. They haven't been dating long, and Cliff has arranged this dirty weekend in the wilds of Canada in hopes of getting some comedic tail. After some meant-to-be hilarious car trouble solved by ditzy Gloria's "talk nicely to the car" method, they make it into Farnhamville and set about looking for a hotel wherein to GET IT AWN.
I wish I could say that Levy and Martin bring the full weight of their respective future comic brilliance to the proceedings here, but sadly we seem to have caught them (like Reitman) several years before they came into their own in their chosen field. Reitman's script doesn't do them any favors, but we can't lay all the blame on Ivan, since much of the "comedy" seems to be improvised. Obvious gags like Gloria honking the horn instead of cranking the engine, leading to Cliff hilariously bonking his head on the open hood, are pretty much the acme here. And Levy's chemistry with Martin is nothing like that he would develop decades later with a much better comedienne, Catherine O'Hara, in films like Christopher Guest's mockumentary Best in Show, which he also co-wrote. Maybe Ivan should have handed the pen over to Eugene.
Still, is is kind of fun to see Levy in full-out, near-unrecognizable hippie garb:
Through a poorly constructed flashback we get to see the story of three such victims, giving Reitman the chance to focus on his cast's nonexistent improvisational skills once again in the form or boring, repetitive, and really atrocious dialog. The characters are meant to be wacky and hilarious (one is a professional parade organizer, another an ice-cream truck driver, the third a nerdy, horn-rimmed glasses-wearing rich kid), but all the jokes fall flat ("Are you sisters?" "No, we just share a lot of similar tastes.") and the attempts at building suspense just fizzle. The Cannibal Girls themselves are pretty enough in a 70s way, though, and when they finally get around to the killings after reciting a nice little ceremonial verse ("Within me, and without me, I honor the blood which gives me life..."), they do it in their underwear or fully nude--which goes a long way toward making up for their somewhat lacking acting skills.
As for the kills themselves, Reitman actually manages to pull off a few competent grindhouse-level gore scenes, including an in-the-throat scissor kill and a bra-and-panties axe-murder. The best scene comes when the three girls handcuff the sole surviving victim to a bed, leading him to believe he's in for some kinky foursome action--then they pull out the gravy boat, add some sauce, fall on him and start eating him alive, buffet-style! It's actually almost chilling in a weird way, with the victim screaming and straining under their teeth--and it's probably the closest the movie gets to legitimate horror.
You can probably see where this is going. Turns out the Reverend is the one who initiated first the farm girls (who are still on hand as his servants-cum-harem) and later the rest of Farnhamville into his black magic, cannibalistic ways. Gaining power and immortality from the flesh of the living, the Reverend makes mincemeat out of every tourist who comes through, sharing the spoils with the rest of the town, and occasionally recruits a pretty girl or two into his inner sacreligious circle. No points for guessing his plans for our hippie-dippy couple.
In the movie's favor, the idea of the whole town being part of the enigmatic Reverend's cannibalistic cult is a nice way of expanding the horror outward, giving a Lovecraft-lite vibe to the proceedings that slightly recalls the much scarier and more excellent US film of the same year, Messiah of Evil. But Reitman seems more interested in wringing gags out of his script than shivers, and obviously hadn't yet developed the directorial chops to do either effectively. The editing is slapdash, the shots are static and uninteresting (with the exception of a few nice pre-credit garden compositions and one almost-LOL-worthy visual reference to the Sweeney Todd legend), and the script--what there is of it--is kinda stupid.
In the final analysis I can say I'm glad Reitman built on his experience here and went on the bigger and funnier things, but I can't in good conscience recommend the movie, unless you're a Canadian Comedy Completist, or the president of Andrea Martin's fan club. If you catch it on TV sometime it might be worth sticking around for ten or fifteen minutes, just to get a flavor--especially if Ulrich is onscreen or one of the girls is getting naked. But there are better ways to spend your movie watching time--like watching Ghostbusters again, for instance. Final rating: 1.25 thumbs.

Cannibal Girls (1973): or, I Wouldn't If I Were You
"Man, I sure could go for some Doritos."
It turns out that GET A ROOM is perhaps not all that great a piece of advice either, as Cliff and Gloria settle in to the only local motel and are regaled by the elderly owner with tales of the town's sordid past. According to legend, three girls used to live in a house on the outskirts of Farnhamville, aided only by a hunchbacked, inarticulate servant named Bunker. After picking up travellers at the local tavern, the girls would invite them back to the house, coax them into staying with promises of free food and free love, and then murder them for their meat. "They were cannibals," the old lady beams, "and they et men! And rumor has it they were never sick a day in their lives!"
Axe Me No Questions
Upon learning that the girls' old house is still standing and is in fact the town's only gourmet restaurant (DUN DUN DUN!), Cliff and Gloria decide to go see the place and grab a bite--like you do. Once there they meet the only real reason to watch the movie, the Reverend Alex St. John (the absolutely EXCELLENT Ronald Ulrich). Dressed less like a man of the cloth than a stage magician you'd hire for a kid's birthday party--top hat, tails, even white gloves and a red satin-lined cape at one point--Ulrich totally OWNS every scene he's in, delivering his lines with the drawn-out creepy tones of Riff-Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show and obviously having a blast. After treating his guests to the specialty of the house--it's the only dish on the menu--he invites them to stay the night, and of course they accept.
Ulrich Revs it Up
As I said before, Levy and Martin are shadows of their future selves here, and the rest of the cast seems mostly composed of non-actors. Ulrich as the Reverend is the sole bright spot, imparting even the corniest dialog with an infectious charisma. (One scene where he narrates the family history over a slow pan of the house's den that was obviously shot without the actors present, shows not only his talent but the film's extremely limited budget.) Unfortunately Ulrich never appeared in another film, according to IMDb--a shame, since I think he'd have been spectacular in a vehicle worthy of him.

Many orphans in Phnom Penh survive on the huge rubbish tips outside the city, sifting through the rubbish for anything they can sell or live off. Many of these children have not survived for long because of the appalling health risks. Sokha not only has rescued many of these kids and provided them shelter in the home, but set up a school to educate them. Its an amazing project, but unless he can raise some money very quickly the school is going to be forced to close. For that reason I am asking for your help in keeping his dream alive" Peter Gabriel

I've recently installed Arch Linux onto my primary (Ubuntu) computer, and it is working really well for me. It's fast, configurable, basically a faster version of Ubuntu.
compiz-fusion isn't installed by default, I'd like to see how much it would impact my performance, but I get this really nice and descriptive error message when I run
pacman to install it:
[root@arch /]# pacman -S compiz-fusion-gtk
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: python and python2 are in conflict (python<3). Remove python2? [y/N] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: python and python2 are in conflict (python<3)
haven't installed
python3, and my only installed Python version is
Python 2.7.1, which doesn't seem to be conflicting with anything.
Google didn't turn up any results, so has anybody come across an error like this before?
compiz-fusion isn't the only package which fails to install because of this python conflict, so quite a few nice packages (like
python-qt) are uninstallable for me.
Any help is help for me. Thanks!

See What Lark Voorhies, aka Lisa Turtle From 'Saved By The Bell,' Looks Like Today
Lark Voorhies was best known for her role as gossip-y Lisa Turtle in the hugely popular early '90s high-school sitcom 'Saved By the Bell'. Yahoo!'s The Yo Show caught up with the now 38-year-old actress to see what she was up to these days, which also gave us a glimpse of what the former teen idol looks like today.
Turtle tells host Michael Yo that she's been "very busy" with her production company these days, and just made a movie called 'Hope For Pandora's Box,' which she wrote, directed, produced and starred in. (Just like Lisa to take charge of her career.) In the interview, Turtle also denied rumors of her dating co-star Mark-Paul Gosselaar, stating their relationship was "close," but they were just friends. She's also optimistic about a 'Saved by the Bell' reunion saying, "I really honestly believe that if it did happen, it wouldn't be a bad thing."
Sadly, what viewers mostly pointed out was how she no longer looked like the fresh-faced Lisa, with many wondering if it was the excess make-up Turtle had on or whether if she had undergone plastic surgery that made her nearly unrecognizable. We think Lark has aged just fine, but watch the video below and judge for yourself. One thing's for sure — she still has Lisa's irrepressible spirit.

Velib problems
This is the first major problem I've heard of with the Velib system in Paris. I'm not aware of any similar problems with Tulsa's first-in-the-nation Tulsa Townies, or the new Rack & Roll system. Still, I have to wonder about the long-term viability of a plan that's lost over 25% of their bicycles. They want to expand the system into the suburbs, but if losses are this high, how can they afford replacements?
Thieves ride off with 3,000 of Paris's free bicycles
Thursday, 17 July 2008
The self-service, Parisian bike-for-hire – the vélib' – was intended mostly for short rides when it was introduced 12 months ago, reports The Independent.
More than 3,000 of the sturdy grey bicycles have gone missing since then. Some have turned up as far away as Romania and, according to one report, Australia. Another 3,000 have been deliberately destroyed or damaged. But the 16,000 bikes in circulation have proved extremely popular.

Illinois had its fair share of basketball phenoms in the 1980s. Walter Downing began the parade and others followed including Marcus Liberty, Nick Anderson, Deon Thomas, Ed Horton, Kevin Gamble, Bruce Douglas, Kenny Battle, and Kendall Gill. For one phenom, success tasted very sweet. In 1984, Ben Wilson lead Chicago Simeon to the class AA state championship in Illinois. That summer saw Ben continue to grow to 6'8″, and his game allowed Ben to continue to transform into the top recruit in the nation – ahead of future NBA stars Glen Rice, Sean Elliott, Pervis Ellison, and Rod Strickland. When Simeon was set to begin its defense of its state championship in November of 1984, tragedy struck. Ben Wilson was shot and killed in front of the school. The tragedy shocked the city, state, and nation. His death did little to stop gang violence. However, his death became a transformative event for every student at Simeon high school.
Ben, or his closest friends and family called him, Benji. He grew up on the south side of Chicago with five brothers. Ben took to basketball at early age and would begin practicing as early as 8 a.m. every day. At first, the neighbors were not too happy with Ben's practice routine. He soon became an alarm for his neighbor Mr. Robertson. His younger brothers marveled at dribbling skills. In his younger years, he was a ball handler. He lacked the height to play inside. Everything changed his sophomore year. He grew six to seven inches in a three month period. He went from 6 foot to 6 foot 7 inches yet he still was able to maintain the grace and ball handling skills of a shorter player.
His junior year, Simeon became a force in the Chicago Public Force. Under the tutelage of Coach Bob Hambric, Wilson thrived that year. Hambric said of his game,
He possessed the same skills as Magic, but he had a better outside shot. He did all of it. He had the ability to change the complexion of any game. If he decided he was going to rebound and block shots, that's what he did. If he decided he was going to go down low and score, he was able to do that. He was able to do anything.
After winning the Public League Championship, Simeon advanced to the state tournament, then held at the Assembly Hall at the University of Illinois. In the quarterfinal game of the state tournament that year, Ben scored 16 points in the first half. The second half, Ben did not see the ball at all. Rock Island tried to deny him the ball at all costs but it was not enough for Simeon to advance to the semis with a 48-44 win.
In the semifinals, Simeon defeated Aurora West 67-58 to advance to the finals against unbeaten and #1 ranked Evanston. Ben had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. The championship game did not see Ben have his best game. He was in foul trouble and only had 4 points and 5 rebounds, but teammates Tim Bankston and Bobby Tribble combined for 40 points to lead the Wolverines to their firs state title. Ben still made the All-Tournament team despite a poor game.
That spring and summer saw Ben work hard to improve himself for his senior season. Both academically and physically. He continued to grow. At summer camps, Ben worked to improve his game to resemble his idols, Magic Johnson and George Gervin. By the end of the summer, Ben was, in many recruiters' eyes, the top player in the nation. Ben had narrowed his list of schools down to DePaul, Illinois, and Indiana.
That fall, Simeon was set to prepare to defend its state championship. The season was set to kickoff in Rockford at the Boylan Tournament on November 21. The day before, Ben bumped into a couple of youths around noon a short distance from the school. Events escalated and two shots were fired. Both struck Ben. One went through his liver, the other his aorta. The prognosis was not good as Ben lost a lot of blood before he could get to the hospital to have his wounds repaired. At 6 a.m. on November 21, Ben Wilson died from his wounds, 13 hours before the first game. His team mates played on his honor that night winning 73-50.
The event shocked the city, state, and nation. It emotionally destroyed the Simeon family, Over 8,000 people would come see his casket at the school, some waiting seven hours. The school did not win the state championship that year. The nation questioned why violence was so prevalent in the city. At the time, over 700 murders a year were taking place in Chicago. Now, that number is down close to 400, but that is still too many. The trial, though swift, was controversial because of two very different accounts of what happened. Billy Moore would get 40 years for shooting Ben and Omar Dixon was sent to jail for 30 years as well. For Ben's mother, Mary Wilson, her son's death was not going to be in vain She wrote a book entitled, To Benji, With Love. It is required reading for all incoming students at Simeon.
Ben's influence continued shortly after his death. Teammate Nick Anderson, who had recently transferred to Simeon, has always remembered his friend on and off the court. Anderson would wear #25 to honor Ben at the University of Illinois and as a member of the Orlando Magic in the NBA. It is very hard for Anderson to still talk about Ben without getting emotional. In one interview, Anderson said this of Ben's skills:
Benji was Magic Johnson, but with a jump shot. He had all the moves. We played one-on-one a lot. Benji usually won. I see him sometimes in my mind's eye, playing in the NBA, which he could have done after only two years in college.
In recent years, Ben's legacy has continued to grow, Comcast Sportsnet recently produced a documentary on Ben's life and death on the 25th anniversary of his death. This spring, it was announced that ESPN would produce an account of Ben's life for its 30 for 30 film series. It is set to air on October 23rd.
Simeon became a powerhouse winning five state titles in the last ten years. First, Derrick Rose led Simeon to back-to-back titles. Rose would wear Ben's 25 jersey. Originally, the number was retired but Hambric had the team leader wear it as an honor to Ben. After Rose's back to back titles, the number was officially retired. The past three years, Jabari Parker has led Simeon to three straight state titles. Parker, the number one player in the nation, has worked with Jordan Brand shoes to produce shoes for this year's Simeon players that honor Ben. The left shoes will have the number 2 on the heel, and the right shoe will have number 5.
For the Wilson family, his brothers are keeping his memory alive. A Facebook page contains photographs and other memorabilia of Ben's life including his student ID. The violence still continues and his legacy of hard work and dedication still lives on. For many, the tragedy for Ben Wilson, is not that he did not get to play basketball, but that he was such a good person. It was how he carried himself when the clock wasn't running that mattered.
Many have tried to project how Ben would have done that senior season and into college and maybe the pros. But, we will never know. Sometimes, legends grow in stature because we want or need to remember them. Sometimes, it is hard to tell the legend from the myth. Sometimes its because they are legends.
His competitors and teammates weigh in:
Teammate Eric David
"He was Scottie Pippen with Magic Johnson size and a strong body, but with a real jump shot, not a learned one. I'm not talking about the Scottie Pippen that came into the league. I'm talking about the Scottie Pippen now. The one that can dunk on Patrick Ewing. That was Ben back then."
Opponent Paul Wilkerson
He was a true leader. These kids now have no concept. A true leader of a team makes everybody else feel like they can destroy just as much as you can. Ben did that. He always made his teammates feel like they were unstoppable.
Opponent Charles Honroe
He was a big small man because of his [ball handling abilities]. He knew what he wanted to do and how to do it. Very similar to Magic. He was very energetic for his size. He showed a lot of fluidity in the way he played. It was amazing to see him go from basket to basket at his size.

With a storm rolling in, making the day a one-run competition, last year's men's overall tour winner Aaron Robinson was determined, and succeeded in taking home not only the win at Kirkwood but the overall title for a second year in a row at The North Face Masters of Snowboarding presented by PrimaLoft®. Iris Lazzareschi scored first for the women at Kirkwood, but was one point short of the overall crown with Maria DeBari taking top honors.
"Year after year, the riders just keep getting better," said Head Judge Tom Burt. "The competitiveness of the tour is off the charts. With the top two women being separated by only one point, and the overall winner for both men and women being anyone's game until the very end, it made for an exciting end to a great year."
Aaron Robinson was fast and fluid, and hit a natural feature in the middle of the venue for a big, floaty air. Robinson hit a spine at the bottom and threw a big frontside 360 finishing with a 91.33. He was followed in second place by Squaw Valley's Ralph Backstrom with an 89.33, who was also second in overall tour points. Third place in the competition went to Andrew Irwin with an 87.00.
"I'm super psyched. This morning, when I woke up, I said I was just going to go out and win this thing and I did," said Aaron Robinson. "I get to be the reigning champ for a whole year again; the two-time reigning champ this time."
For the women, it was bittersweet for Squaw Valley's Iris Lazzareschi, who took first in Kirkwood as well as in Crystal, but missed first overall by a single point. Lazzareschi impressed with an 88.3 and a line down looker's right into the upper Harnell's section, down to Frank's alternate, airing into the top, and finishing with an air out of the trees at the bottom. Callan Chythlook-Sifsof of Alyeska, AK came in second with an 85.67, and Mt. Baker's Maria DeBari took third at Kirkwood with an even 85.00, but came in first in overall tour standings.
"I went into it knowing that if I stomped everything I could probably do well. Everyone is riding so hard right now, you just never can tell. I rode my line hard and I'm stoked on it," said Maria DeBari. "I can't believe my overall win was only by one point, I'm definitely going to have to share the celebration with Iris. It was a really tough season this year and I'm just so excited to wind up on top."
The North Face Young Gun Award, which rewards rider under 25 years of age who demonstrate raw talent and innovation in their riding style, went to Callen Chythlook-Sifsof, and the overall tour Young Gun Award went to Josh Warnick, who took it home at the first stop of the season in Snowbird.

Abstract of Sorek, S. "Render Unto Caesar? Pilate's Acquisition of Temple Funds".
Most modern scholars would agree with the statement made by Smallwood that, in order to finance his scheme for the building of an aqueduct, Pontius Pilate misappropriated money from the Temple treasury in Jerusalem. This was an act of sacrilege, for Roman law had made the money sacrosanct.
There are two passages in the works of Josephus that appear to confirm this statement; however, they contain many anomalies. First, there is the distinction made between the sacred money in the War account and the Temple money in Antiquities. Second, the two accounts do not agree as to the reaction of the Jews to this crime. Following on from this, the book of Maccabeesdescribes the spontaneous popular reaction to another Temple violation that is, on the face of the evidence, apparently almost identical to Pilate's. However, Josephus' description of the Jewish reaction to Pilate in the episode of the aqueduct is so very different from the Jewish reaction described in Maccabees that it actually seems to point towards an altogether different crime.
The aim of this article is to explore these anomalies and to evaluate the story of Pilate's acquisition of Temple funds. The evidence submitted will show that Pilate did not appropriate sacred money and will offer a viable alternative reason for the Jewish response towards him.

|System: PS3, PC, Xbox 360, Wii, 3DS
|Dev: Vicarious Visions
|Pub: Activision
|Release: October 18, 2011
|Players: 1-2
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
|Cartoon Violence
Probably the most innovative (and coolest) design element is that the character's information is saved directly to the miniature, not the game system. Your experience, wealth, stats and upgraded abilities, as well as your currently donned hat, all travel with you. On top of that, they are compatible with every other platform, no matter the brand. So the Spyro that you've spent hours juicing up on the Wii can be played on your friend's Xbox 360, or you can take your PS3 Skylander to do some adventuring on the go with the Nintendo 3DS.
The visuals match the intended cartoony vibe, with strong use of bold colors and exaggerated animations. Except for some smoother textures, the Wii version looks as good as its more powerful console counterparts. From a control perspective, the Wii version even plays the easiest, since it is the only version with incorporated motion controls. With a broad spectrum of primary colors, each Skylander stands out on its own, making them as unique as their in-game abilities.
The orchestrations have a good beat and are pretty catchy, but the tracks are barely a minute long, and they'll get stuck in your head because they get so repetitive. The developers certainly didn't get stingy with the sounds effects, as attack sounds, enemy screams, and even broken barrel sounds constantly push through your speakers. Some Skylanders have the gift of speech, while others grunt, shriek, or wail, which is another great way to make your personal collection feel unique. The NPC voice acting also fits a cartoon's expectations, but Patrick Warburton steals the show. His instantly recognizable low voice—as the cocky balloon pilot Flynn—follows a script that seems completely penned with him in mind.
$70 for the starter pack might seem a bit steep, with additional figurines at eight dollars a pop. For a hardcore gamer with an arsenal of Mature-rated titles, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure might not have enough appeal to make it worth the introductory fee. But for the younger audience, it's certainly one to put at the top of this year's holiday wish list—a game brimming with extra features and cool action figures with their own virtual lives. It may be simple in presentation, but the execution is near flawless, and all the extra content shows a great level of dedication on the part of the developers. Skylanders is certainly a full and unique gaming experience.

NASHVILLE (AP) – Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.

I am interested in a scenario on the events from the Two towers. Here is my starting idea:
DR: The starting company may only contain men, dunadan, Merry, Pippin and a maximum of one elf and one dwarf.
WR: the following conditions are sequentially met:
1. an army must first be mustered to defend Rohan (a non-animal faction is successfully played within 3 regions of Gap of Isen)
2. the invasion of Rohan is then stopped by the heroes and their army (whilst the faction is still in play, a company plays a major item battlegear at the glittering caves. A the end of the site phase, the company must contain at least 3 heroes, each one them with prowess of at least x)
3. Saruman is expelled from Isengard (2 ents allies and/or factions are in play when a company controlling at least one ent ally successfully plays Rebuild the town in Isengard. Rebuid the town is still in play at the end of the game).
Please post your comments on theme, your suggestions and any possible issues.

Seven Things to Know About George Clooney's Sister
(NEW YORK) -- George Clooney's had a lot of women in his life, but one has gotten much less exposure than the rest: his sister.
The New York Daily News tracked down Adelia Zeidler, Clooney's older sibling, and got her dish about the oft-named sexiest man alive. Unlike her younger brother, Zeidler, 52, is far removed from Hollywood. The mom of two lives in Augusta County, Kentucky, close to her parents, and works in payroll and accounting.
While the story opens with Zeidler's comments on Clooney's love life — he's probably not going to marry Stacy Keiber, and no, it's not because he's gay — it turns into a profile of a sweet woman who just wants the best for her little brother.
Read on for the highlights from the interview:
1. Clooney's not gay. Zeidler laughed when asked about the decades-long rumor that her brother's in the closet. "Yes that's quite ridiculous, we don't even listen when people say things like that anymore," she said. "I think he decided that in his life he could have the career or he could have a family. And so when he decided to go full bore into the acting. That was where his focus was going to be."
2. She doubts he'll marry again. No offense to Keibler, but Zeidler doesn't see Clooney tying the knot anytime soon. "No, I would say he probably will not get married. If I had to guess I would have to say 'no,'" Zeidler said. "I know everyone says 'Well, Warren Beatty said he'd never get married and then he met Annette Bening.' But you know that's the only example people can think of, so it doesn't bode too well."
3. She didn't even attend his first wedding. "No, I didn't go," she about Clooney's 1989 wedding to Talia Balsam. They divorced in 1993. "I was not aware he was married until after he was married."
4. She feels weird thinking about him as the 'sexiest man alive.' Understandable — after all, he's her baby brother. "I have a little difficulty seeing that," she said. "Granted I can look at him and see he's very attractive, but of course being his sister, it's a little odd."
5. She once considered a career in acting. "Yes, there is a part of me that would very much like to have become a famous actress or something like that," she said. "I enjoy acting and I was fairly okay at it but I did not have a thick enough skin for it." Instead, Zeidler said being a mother and wife (her husband passed away in 2004) "wound up taking precedence with me."
6. She doesn't have Clooney's phone number. The siblings prefer to email and see each other about once a year, when Clooney visits Augusta. "I do not have his phone number because I wouldn't want to have it in my phone and then lose my phone," she said. "He can phone me and he does occasionally, but the email is more convenient for both of us." Zeidler also said Clooney always sends her children birthday and Christmas presents.
7. And when they do talk, it's not about Brad and Angelina. "I just generally keep him up with what's going on in my life," she said. "He'll tell me little things that are going on here and there but mostly we just gab like brothers and sisters do about inconsequential matters."
