Sprint Cup Recap — Bojangles' Southern 500
Matt Kenseth scored his 3rd win of 2013 in the Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway Saturday night after passing his teammate, Kyle Busch, with under 15 laps to go.
Kenseth was seen as a long shot since he was without his usual crew chief Jason Ratcliff, but replacement Wally Brown made two late-race calls on adjustments that helped the #20 car improve and overtake Kyle Busch's #18 for the lead.
"I feel really bad that Jason isn't here," Kenseth said in victory lane. "This is obviously his team and his effort, but Wally did a great job filling in."
The Southern 500 is one of the biggest races on the NASCAR calendar every year, and Kenseth didn't shy away from relishing his first victory at the Lady in Black.
"I've only dreamed about winning the Southern 500," Kenseth said. "This to me probably feels bigger than any win in my career."
And that's coming from a guy that has won the Daytona 500 twice.
No doubt the #20 team is on a roll, but we often get caught up in talking about drivers that are, "on fire," or, "in a slump." We say things like, "this guy has gone 100 races without a win," all without thinking about what NASCAR actually is.
NASCAR is a motorsport.
And unlike most sports, the equipment the competitor is using is a major determining factor of their success. Matt Kenseth won yesterday, yes, but also note that Denny Hamlin, his teammate, finished 2nd and his other teammate, Kyle Busch, led the most laps and finished 6th. Heck, during the Nationwide Series race Saturday JGR cars finished 1-2-3.
On the other hand, Kenseth's former team, Roush-Fenway Racing, had only 1 car in the top-10: Carl Edwards in 7th. Greg Biffle finished 13th and rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished 18th.
So, here's what we know: Matt Kenseth is a good driver, but he's also in an awesome car right now. On the other hand, Roush-Fenway is struggling. That's making this whole thing seem pretty one-sided.
To those that think Roush-Fenway made a mistake by letting Matt Kenseth leave, let me ask you this: exactly what were they going to do with Ricky Stenhouse Jr.? Let the two-time Nationwide champ run ANOTHER season in that series? He was ready to move up, and they had to make room for him to do so.
If it sounds like I'm belittling Matt Kenseth, I'm not. Kenseth stepped into Joe Gibbs Racing as a Sprint Cup Champion. That's something JGR hasn't had since Tony Stewart left to build his own empire at Stewart-Haas Racing. He immediately became the leader of that organization, much like he was the leader at Roush-Fenway Racing in the past.
There's no denying the #20 team is one of the best in NASCAR right now. Outside of Jimmie Johnson's #48 bunch, I don't see another true contender for the title. But, let's not jump on Jack Roush for letting Kenseth go. Matt Kenseth hasn't had a resurgence at Joe Gibbs Racing. Joe Gibbs Racing has had a resurgence and Matt Kenseth has been the beneficiary.
Here's what else we learned in Darlington Saturday night:
Jeff Gordon is one of the top 3 drivers of all time. In case you're wondering, I put Richard Petty 1st and Dale Earnhardt 2nd on that list. Gordon raced in his 700th Sprint Cup Series race Saturday night at Darlington, and notched his 300th career top-5 finish. Think about that: 700 starts, 300 top-5's. Unreal.
Darlington was gentle. The track, "too tough to tame," was unusually tame last night. There were only a handful of cautions during the event, and only one of the yellow flags was the result of an actual race-ending crash. The race went on at a blisteringly fast pace, and the Gen-6 car seemed to handle the track well.
Denny Hamlin is back. No pun intended here. The back injury that kept Denny out of the race car for the last month seems to have healed up. Denny commented after the race that he was tired, and a little out of racing shape, but Darlington is a tough 500 miles. He'll be back to full strength at Charlotte next weekend, and a 2nd place finish had to feel good.

Cool Infographics: Best Practices Group on LinkedIn
I am excited to announce the launch of a new LinkedIn Group, Cool Infographics: Best Practices. I have personally been a part of many great discussion groups over the years and believe that this group fills an unmet need. Please accept this invitation to join the group to share your own experiences and wisdom.
There are many groups that share infographics, but I felt that a discussion group dedicated to the craft of infographics and data visualization was missing. This group will feature questions and case studies about how companies are leveraging infographics and data visualization as a communication tool. Any posts that are just links to infographics will be moderated to keep the focus on engaging discussions. Topics and questions from the Cool Infographics book will also be discussed.
Join us in a professional dialogue surrounding case studies and strategies for designing infographics and using them as a part of an overall marketing strategy. We welcome both beginning and established professionals to share valuable tactics and experiences as well as fans of infographics to learn more about this growing field.

Bra Selection:
It can be very easy to order the wrong Bra or Nightwear size so it is always worth checking to avoid disappointment as getting it wrong will involve the process of sending the affected items back to us which is a bit of a hassle for us both. Research tells us that a large proportion of women are wearing the wrong bra size and an equally large number of people would give the wrong dress size if they were asked what size they are. So please help us to deliver the right size to you first time around. The sizes shown on our product pages are based on the Locale you have chosen, e.g. the GB flag represents UK sizing, the other flags that show represents that sizing for that Locale (Country) respectively.
If after reading the information on this page and if your still not quite sure about the selection of the right Bra sizing then we recommend you use this external link which will do all of the work for you is the External Link to Bra Calculator alternatively please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will do all we can to help you.
For those men out there who are still not sure on the right Bra size then we have one crazy suggestion for you; simply have a quick rootle around in the top draw of where the lady concerned stores her Bra's and check her sizes out by looking at the garment label, but please don't get caught doing this and don't say we recommended it! this is one way of getting it nearly right anyway although their can still be variations from Brand to Brand, so if you think you can get away with it go ahead and make sure you keep it a secret.
We also have some useful international sizing guide documents (in Adobe PDF format) for most of the Brands on our website, this may prove useful if your unsure of the international sizing equivalents globally as it can be quite confusing, hopefully these documents will help.

Does Mitt Romney want to reduce the number of firefighters, police, and teachers in America? That's what the Obama reelection campaign is charging. They've got a new ad out that asserts local government jobs shrank dramatically in Massachusetts while Mr. Romney was governor, and that he plans similar reductions if he wins in November.
"Mitt Romney's economic plan? He wants to cut jobs for firefighters, police, and teachers," says the campaign spot.
Romney's not turning the other cheek on this one. On Tuesday, Romney said in a Fox News appearance that this charge is "completely absurd."
"The federal government doesn't pay for teachers, firefighters, or policeman," Romney told the hosts of Fox & Friends.
Hmmm. The two sides are pretty far apart on this question. Who is right here? What's the context?
We'd say this: A Romney statement this week did imply that he believes the nation needs fewer of these particular categories of public servants. But the comment might be better understood as a variation on the continuing Republican theme that government as a whole needs to be smaller and less intrusive in US life.
First, the original statement: At a campaign stop last Friday Romney seized on President Obama's controversial statement that the private sector is "fine" and that employment as a whole is soft because public sector jobs are down.
Romney said of Mr. Obama that "he says we need more firemen, more policemen, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."
Generally speaking, Republicans are for smaller government at all levels. But they don't typically move on to imply that the nation needs fewer of its more popular types of public servants – particularly those involved in public safety.
Wisconsin's Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who just survived a recall attempt sparked by his bill that stripped many public sector workers of bargaining rights, made just that distinction. Police and firefighters were exempt from his cutbacks.
That's why Governor Walker distanced himself from Romney's remarks in an appearance Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation." His crackdown "allowed us to protect firefighters, police officers, and teachers. That's not what I think of when I think of big government."
Now, Romney is literally correct to say that Washington doesn't hire firefighters, etc. Those are local or state employees.
But Obama's stimulus bills contained billions in subsidies for state and local government to keep their employees on the job. Much of that stimulus spending has run out, which is one reason why public sector employment is declining.
That's what we think this whole economic discussion of recent days is mostly about. Obama would prefer that Congress pass more stimulus spending to help heat up public sector hiring. Romney thinks that is failed Keynesianism that just runs up debt. This is a basic distinction between the Democratic and Republican parties.
In closing, we'll make a couple of other points. Walker may not think of firefighters, police officers, and teachers as part of big government, but they are. As liberal economist Paul Krugman pointed out Tuesday on his blog, "teachers" and "protective services" together account for the majority of state and local employment.
However, despite public sector job losses, the unemployment rate for government workers is low, writes conservative American Enterprise Institute fellow Marc Thiessen. It's just 4.2 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Contrast this with the unemployment rate for construction, which is 14.2 percent, or with the rate for leisure and hospitality services, which is 9.7 percent.
"If the rest of Americans enjoyed the same unemployment rate as government workers, Obama would be cruising to reelection," writes Thiessen in a Washington Post opinion piece.

10 Most Censored Countries - Reports - Committee to Protect Journalists
10 Most Censored CountriesNorth Korea tops CPJ's list of "10 Most Censored Countries"New York, May 2, 2006--North Koreans live in the most censored country in the world, a new analysis by the Committee to Protect Journalists has found.The world's deepest information void, communist North Korea has no independent journalists, and all radio and television receivers sold in the country are locked to government-specified frequencies. Burma, Turkmenistan, Equatorial Guinea, and Libya round out the top five nations on CPJ's list of the "10 Most Censored Countries."
In issuing its report to mark World Press Freedom Day on May 3, CPJ called state-sponsored censorship one of the most urgent threats facing journalists worldwide. CPJ studied press freedom conditions in dozens of countries around the world to assess the access people have to independent information and the methods leaders use to stifle the news.
CPJ regional staff used their extensive knowledge of local press conditions and applied a rigorous set of criteria to determine the rankings of the most censored list. The criteria included state control of all media, the existence of formal censorship regulations, the use by the state of violence, imprisonment and harassment against journalists, jamming of foreign news broadcasts, and restrictions on private Internet access.
The other countries on the list are Eritrea, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Syria,and Belarus.
"People in these countries are virtually isolated from the rest of the world by authoritarian rulers who muzzle the media and keep a chokehold on information through restrictive laws, fear, and intimidation," said CPJ Executive Director Ann Cooper.
Patterns that emerge from CPJ's analysis include:
•Total control.Print and electronic media in all 10 countries are under heavy state control or influence. Some countries allow a few privately owned outlets to operate but most of these are in the hands of regime loyalists. In Libya, there are no independent broadcast or print media, an anachronism even by Middle East standards. Equatorial Guinea has one private broadcaster; its owner is the president's son. In Burma, citizens risk arrest for listening to the BBC in public.
• One-man-shows. Most of the countries on CPJ's list are ruled by one man who has remained in power by manipulating the media and rigging any elections that are held. The media foster a cult of personality. On state television in Turkmenistan, "President for Life" Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov's golden image is constantly displayed in profile at the bottom of the screen. State-run radio in Equatorial Guinea has described President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo as "the country's God."
• Use of the "Big Lie." In North Korea, all "news" is positive. According to the country's rigidly controlled media, North Korea has never suffered famine or poverty, and citizens would willingly sacrifice themselves for their leader. The official Korean Central News Agency said that leader Kim Jong Il is so beloved that after a deadly munitions train explosion in a populated area, people ran into buildings to save the ubiquitous portraits of the "Dear Leader" before they rescued their own family members.
• Zero tolerance for negative coverage. In Uzbekistan, a government crackdown forced more than a dozen foreign correspondents to flee abroad after they covered a massacre of antigovernment protesters in Andijan in May 2005. Reporters covering opposition to BelarusianPresident Aleksandr Lukashenko's recent re-election were jailed and charged with crimes such as "hooliganism." In Cuba, the government organizes "repudiation acts" for recalcitrant journalists; demonstrators surround the journalist's home and prevent people from coming or going.
• Cynical disregard for people's welfare. Governments suppress news of the dangers and hardships faced by their citizens. North Korea covered up a famine that affected millions. Burma stifled coverage of the effects of the tsunami that hit the country in December 2004.
"By any international standard, the practices of these governments are unacceptable," said Cooper. "We call on the leaders of these most censored countries to join the free world by abandoning these restrictive actions and allowing journalists to independently report the news and inform their citizens."
Here are summaries of the Most Censored Countries:
Leader: Kim Jong Il, chairman, National Defense Commission, in power since his father Kim Il Song's death in 1994
How censorship works: North Korea has wedded the traditional Confucian ideal of social order to the Stalinist model of an authoritarian communist state to create the world's deepest information void. All domestic radio, television, and newspapers are controlled by the government. Radio and television receivers are locked to government-specified frequencies. Content is supplied almost entirely by the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). It serves up a daily diet of fawning coverage of "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il and his
official engagements. The country's grinding poverty or famines are never mentioned. Only small numbers of foreign journalists are allowed limited access each year, and they must be accompanied by "minders" wherever they go.
Lowlight: After a deadly munitions train explosion in April 2004 in Ryongchon near the Chinese border, KCNA reported that citizens displayed the "spirit of guarding the leader with their very lives" by rushing into burning buildings to save portraits of Kim "before searching for their family members or saving their household goods." The international press, meanwhile, was barred from the scene, where more than 150 died and thousands were injured.
Leader: Than Shwe, who took over as chairman of the military junta known as the State Peace and Development Council in 1992 after the resignation of 1988 coup leader General Saw Maung
How censorship works: The junta owns all daily newspapers and radio, along with the country's three television channels. Media dare not hint at, let alone report on, antigovernment sentiments. Burma's few privately owned publications must submit content to the Press Scrutiny Board for approval before publishing; censorship delays mean that none publishes on a daily basis. In 2005, the junta took control of Bagan Cybertech, Burma's main Internet service and satellite-feed provider. Citizens have been arrested for listening to the BBC or Radio Free Asia in public. Entry visa requests by foreign journalists are usually turned down except when the government wants to showcase a political event.
Lowlights: An article in the June 4, 2005, edition of New Light of Myanmar (Burma) titled "Have positive attitude in broadcasting news" explains the government's approach to media: "The Myanmar people do not wish to watch, read, or listen to corrupt and lopsided news reports and lies. The Myanmar people even feel loathsome to some local media that are imitating the practice of featuring corrupt and lopsided news and lies." The Voice, a Rangoon-based weekly, was suspended in May 2005 as punishment for an innocuous front-page story about Vietnam's withdrawal from Burma's New Year water festival, which the junta found embarrassing.
Leader: Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov, elected 1991 and declared President for Life in 1999
How censorship works: Niyazov has isolated the country from the rest of the world and created a cult of personality declaring himself "Turkmenbashi," father of the Turkmen. The state owns all domestic media and Niyazov's administration controls them by appointing editors and censoring content. Niyazov personally approves the front-page content of the major dailies, which always include a prominent picture of him. In 2005, the state closed all libraries except for one that houses the president's books, and banned the importation of foreign publications. The state media heap fulsome praise on Niyazov as they ignore important stories on AIDS, prostitution, unemployment, poverty, crime, and drugs. A handful of local and foreign correspondents work for foreign--primarily Russian--news agencies, but their freedom to report is minimal.
Lowlight: State television displays a constant, golden profile of Niyazov at the bottom of the screen. Newscasters begin each broadcast with a pledge that their tongues will shrivel if their reports ever slander the country, the flag, or the president.

Leader: President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, in power since a coup in 1979
How censorship works: Criticism of Obiang's brutal regime is not tolerated in the only Spanish-speaking country in Africa. All broadcast media are state-owned, except for RTV-Asonga, the private radio and television network owned by the president's son, Teodorino Obiang Nguema. A handful of private newspapers officially exist but rarely publish due to financial and political pressure. An exiled press freedom group ASOLPEGE-Libre says the only publication that appears regularly is a pro-government magazine published in Spain and financed by advertising revenue from companies operating in Equatorial Guinea, "mainly North American oil companies." The group says the government has forced all private companies to pay for advertising spots on state broadcast media. It describes state broadcasters as "pure governmental instruments in the service of the dictatorship, dedicated uniquely and exclusively to political narcissism and the ideological propaganda of the regime in place." The U.S. State Department reported in 2005 that foreign celebrity and sports publications were available for sale but no newspapers, and that there were no bookstores or newsstands. Foreign correspondents have been denied visas or expelled without official explanation.
Lowlights: State-run Radio Malabo broadcasts songs warning citizens that they will be crushed if they speak against the regime. During parliamentary elections in 2004, state media called opposition activists "enemies" of the state. State radio has described Obiang as "the country's God" who has all power over men and things.
Leader: Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, unchallenged in power since a bloodless 1969 coup.
How censorship works: Libya's media are the most tightly controlled in the Arab world. The government owns and controls all print and broadcast media, an anachronism even by regional standards. The media dutifully reflect state policies and do not allow news or views critical of Qaddafi or the government. Satellite television and the Internet are available, but the government blocks undesirable political Web sites. The Internet is one of the few avenues for independent writers and journalists, but the risks are exceedingly high. Dayf al-Ghazal al-Shuhaibi, who wrote for London-based opposition Web sites, was found shot in the head in Benghazi last year. No one has been charged with the murder, which has sent an unmistakable message to would-be critics. In addition, Internet writer Abdel Razek al-Mansouri was jailed in reprisal for online writings critical of the government.
Lowlight: In 1977, Qaddafi laid out his ideas for Libya's cultural revolution in The Green Book. On the press he wrote, "The press is a means of expression for society: it is not a means of expression for private individuals or corporate bodies. Therefore, logically and democratically, it should not belong to either one of them."
Leader: President: Isaias Afewerki, elected by the national assembly in 1993
How censorship works: Eritrea is the only country in sub-Saharan Africa without a single private media outlet. More than four years after a vicious crackdown shuttered a fledgling independent press, the government's repressive policies have left the tiny Horn of Africa nation largely hidden from international scrutiny and with almost no local access to independent information. A privileged few have access to the Internet. The handful of foreign correspondents in the capital, Asmara, are subject to intensive monitoring by authorities.
Lowlight: At least 15 journalists have been jailed or otherwise deprived of their liberty. Most are held incommunicado in secret detention centers. When CPJ sought information about the imprisoned journalists in fall 2005, Information Minister Ali Abdou told Agence France-Presse, "It's up to us what, why, when, and where we do things."
Leader: President Fidel Castro, who has run a one-party state since seizing power in a 1959 revolution
How censorship works: The Cuban constitution grants the Communist Party the right to control the press; it recognizes "freedom of speech and the press in accordance with the goals of the socialist society." The government owns and controls all media outlets and restricts Internet access. News is carried on four television channels, two news agencies, dozens of radio stations, at least four news Web sites, and three main newspapers representing the views of the Communist Party and other mass organizations controlled by the government.
The media operate under the supervision of the Communist Party's Department of Revolutionary Orientation, which develops and coordinates propaganda strategies. Cuba remains one of the world's leading jailers of journalists, second only to China, with 24 independent reporters behind bars. Those who try to work as independent reporters are harassed, detained, threatened with prosecution or jail, or barred from traveling. A small number of foreign correspondents report from Havana but Cubans do not see their reports. Officials grant visas to foreign journalists selectively, often excluding those from outlets deemed unfriendly.
Lowlight: The government organizes demonstrations known as "repudiation acts" outside the homes of independent journalists. Government supporters congregate around the homes, intimidate those inside and prevent them from leaving or receiving visitors.
Leader: President Islam Karimov, elected 1991; presidential term extended by referendums in 1995 and again in 2002.
How censorship works: Karimov has re-established a Soviet-style dictatorship that relies on brutal political intimidation to silence journalists, human rights activists, and the political opposition. Karimov's regime uses an informal system of state censorship to prevent the domestic media from reporting on widespread police torture, poverty, and an Islamic
opposition movement. Uzbekistan has also distinguished itself among the former Soviet republics as the leading jailer of journalists, with six behind bars at the end of 2005.
Lowlight: After troops killed hundreds of antigovernment protesters in the city of Andijan in May 2005, Karimov's regime cracked down on foreign media. The BBC, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and the Institute for War & Peace Reporting were forced to close their Tashkent bureaus. A dozen foreign correspondents and local reporters working for foreign media had to flee the country.

Leader: President Bashar al-Assad, who took over upon his father's death in 2000
How censorship works: The media are under heavy state control and influence. Some newspapers and broadcast outlets are in private hands but are owned by regime loyalists, or are barred from disseminating political content. Some private and party newspapers offer mild criticism of some government policies or the Baath party, but they are largely toothless. State papers and broadcasters remain unflinchingly supportive of the regime. The press law maps out an array of restrictions against the media, including a requirement that periodicals obtain licenses from the prime minister, who can deny any application not in the "public interest." The regime has harassed critics through arrests or warnings.
Lowlights: State repression has spawned newspapers so bland that even a top government official, the late Interior Minister Ghazi Kenaan, once called Syria's news coverage "unreadable." Despite efforts to privatize the press, newspapers that overstep the mark in their criticism are shut down or their editions confiscated.
Leader: President Aleksandr Lukashenko, elected 1994; last re-elected in March 2006 in polls the European Union called "deeply flawed."
How censorship works: Most broadcast and print outlets are owned by the government, and they are effusive in their praise of Lukashenko. Nominally independent radio and television stations avoid politically sensitive subjects. The state has shuttered dozens of independent newspapers in recent years, and the few that remain have been subjected to a government onslaught: Lukashenko's administration has pressured state printing houses not to print critical newspapers, barred the post office and state newspaper distributor from distributing independent publications, seized entire press runs of independent newspapers, and set prison penalties of up to five years for criticizing the president.
Lowlight: More than two dozen domestic and foreign journalists were jailed during the tumultuous presidential campaign, most while covering antigovernment rallies staged after the vote. Reporters were often charged with "hooliganism" for being at the rallies.

CPJ staff judged countries according to 17 benchmarks. CPJ established the criteria after consultation with experts in the fields of press freedom, human rights, and media law. In order to appear on this list, countries had to meet at least nine of the 17 criteria. The benchmarks included: absence of independent media; existence of formal censorship regulations; state control of all media; state-sponsored violence against journalists; jamming of foreign news broadcasts; restrictions on Internet access; limits on journalists' mobility; interference in the production and distribution of publications; and existence of laws forbidding criticism.

For some 30 years now, small clusters of movie teenagers have made the journey to various cabins in various woods. The return ratio for such trips is one surviving, bloodied, traumatized, hospitalized teenager for every 10 dead friends left behind. And the ratio of entertaining, original movies about attractive young people and the hideous monsters that stalk them is about the same. For every clever remake or freshly twisted spin, there are innumerable gore fests with nothing original to say.
Hello, "Evil Dead," 2013 edition.
This isn't a strict remake of Sam Raimi's hugely influential 1981 horror classic, but it does include the basic framework and some visual nods to the original. On its own, it's an irredeemable, sadistic torture chamber reveling in the bloody, cringe-inducing deaths of some of the stupidest people ever to spend a rainy night in a remote cabin in the woods.
Shiloh Fernandez is the dull and dimwitted David, who returns to the family's old cabin along with his new girlfriend, Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore); his former childhood friends Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) and Olivia (Jessica Lucas), and his little sister, Mia (Jane Levy). Even before we learn Mia's trying to kick smack, we know this kid has problems because she's got a bit of a goth look going, she believes in the spirit world, and she likes to sketch.
Like most cabins in the woods, this cabin in the woods seems to be miles away from any other cabins or any signs of life. Gee, the family must have had a blast there, especially with Mom battling insanity, and Dad — well, we never hear about Dad.
Within a few hours, the dog finds a blood-covered trap door leading to a basement filled with strung-up cat carcasses and a book of evil curses. Soon after that, Mia starts having visions and speaking in a demonic voice. Yet these morons stay put. (When they finally do try to leave, there's a conveniently biblical-style rainstorm flooding the exit road.)
Olivia's a registered nurse, but she doesn't seem smart enough to know how to register for Google Plus. Eric, who for some reason is groomed and dressed as if he'd just come back from a Kurt Cobain look-alike contest, opens a book that says "leave this book alone" and starts reciting a chant that should never be recited. Geez, whose idea was it to invite Eric on this trip?
Enter the she-bitch from hell, who's possessing Mia and intent on offing everyone in sight in the most disgusting, prolonged manner possible. Cue the ominous score, the cheap scares and the increasingly moronic behavior by David and his dunderheaded friends. The gore factor goes all the way to 11, with admittedly impressive makeup and special effects. Over the course of a rainy night that seems like it'll never end, we're treated to multiple scenes of projectile vomiting, dozens of nail-gun shots penetrating flesh and bone, black ooze and blood everywhere, dismemberment and stabbings. All shown in excruciating detail.
Save for a few darkly funny one-liners, there's almost no wicked humor here, and there's certainly nothing original about the plot. The actors do a pretty fair job of conveying terror, but the characters they're playing are such one-dimensional idiots, you begin rooting for the demonic she-bitch from hell to take 'em out.
I love horror films that truly shock, scare and provoke. But after 30 years of this stuff, I'm bored to death and sick to death of movies that seem to have one goal: How can we gross out the audience by torturing nearly every major character in the movie?

Gerald Schwebel '74, BA
Executive Vice President
International Bank of Commerce-Laredo
As a child, Gerald Schwebel made the decision to live with his grandmother, who was recruited to come to the United States due to a shortage of nurses in the 1940's. Growing up on both sides of the border proved to be a powerful advantage for him as he learned two languages and two cultures. These experiences have proved to be extremely beneficial in his professional life. Discipline, coupled with hard work, has proven to be the basis of his success.
Schwebel's inspiration for education came from his grandmother whose education in México proved to be her greatest asset in the United States. He earned his undergraduate degree at Texas A&I University of Laredo (now Texas A&M International University) and has completed graduate work in the fields of International Trade and Banking at TAMIU, the University of Texas, Texas A&M University and the Stonier Graduate School of Banking at the University of Delaware.
Schwebel is considered one of America's leading experts on international trade and finance, and often represents IBC and its customers in consultation with top government and business leaders in the U.S., México and Canada. He directs the Bank's international program, and has been called upon on numerous occasions to testify before Congress on issues of U.S./México trade, including the North American Free Trade Agreement—NAFTA.

Kevin Durant 'Blessed' Despite Thunder's Emotional Loss in NBA Finals
Kevin Durant, the Oklahoma City Thunder's Christian forward, may have cried after an emotional NBA Finals loss to the Miami Heat on Thursday night, but the league's leading shooter has expressed nothing but gratitude for the opportunity to compete.
"Tough way to end a season but I am truly blessed to have the privilege to play for such a great city, congrats to the Miami Heat," the 23-year-old Thunder forward wrote on his Twitter page.
While Durant has continually called the opportunity to play with his teammates a blessing, he has been vocal about his Christian faith even before advancing to his first NBA finals this season. Many became curious about Durant's faith after the star walked into last year's playoffs with a Bible in his backpack.
The forward admitted that he was attempting to get closer to the God by reading Scripture every day.
"I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I'm keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better," Durant told the press last season. "That's making me a better person, opening my eyes to things and I'm also maturing as a person. I'm just trying to grow."
Although it seems Durant's team has grown over the past year, which was made evident with their stint in the NBA Finals, he admitted that the Thunder's recent loss was hurtful.
"It hurts. We're all brothers on this team and it just hurts to go out like this," Durant admitted in his post-game press conference. "We made it to the finals."
The star shooter remained humble during his interview, giving credit to the skills of the Heat players.
"Their defense is really good. I didn't want to admit it during the series but now that its over those guys are really good," Durant said. "It's unfortunate for us, man we wanted it so bad. But we all gotta keep our heads high, I'm a positive guy so I'm gonna keep my head high."

I've developed a PHP script that enables cPanel reseller accounts to automatically backup the cPanel accounts within the reseller. A feature currently missing from cPanel itself. I've released it under the GPL GNU 3.0 or later license therefore offering it for free.
It takes all of 5 minutes to set-up, uses the official cPanel API's and enables the accounts to be backed up to either the homedir, remote FTP server or remote SCP server.
Simply put it, this script can if properly configured stop you from ever losing your websites due to hacking, data corruption or from issues with your web host.
Check it out yourself at https://whmbackup.solutions.

May I ask when was the last time you have been to HK? Granted, it wasn't long ago that your statement was half-correct.
I can say confidently that most of the bootleg stores in the last 5 years have more or less decreased in numbers, now they sell mostly bootleg DVD, but they're still no match for the higher-quality licensed ones.
Most of the "merchandise" stores sell genuine figures, magazines and CDs imported straight from Japan, and that includes Haruhi figures, not to mention a doujinshi specialist store as well.

e2046's quality pretty much looks exactly like their pictures (not the original, but the pictures they have for the pre-painted version that they're selling).
I have the Space Yuki Nagato recast+prepaint from them, and overall, the paint job is really well done. It's waaaay better than figurines you get from the big figurine produces, but not quite up to bubba's level. I'd say it captures about 85-90% of Bubba's original paintjob.
So that Haruhi gothiloli would look pretty much exactly like what their pictures show.

well kinny riddle, a few things I'll comment on
if you read the box of your figures they are stamped made in china, and its not because it was imported from japan.
alot of companies like bandai have factories in china that actually assemble the figures and toys. only the design and license is actually done in japan.
that is one reason when u purchase those type of things they are cheaper in china then the rest of the world.
all of the doujin stuff is straight from japan pretty guaranteed though, since most of the small doujin guys print locally in small numbers.
and officially licensed DVDs are on par with bootlegs in southeast asia? no...
you are correct though, very few PVC figures are knock offs. most are real merchandise. but this does NOT apply to resin kits. 95% of resin kits sold outside of japan are re-casts.
and if ur gona ask me when the last time i was in china, i was in taiwan about 8 years ago
however, my figure collection is quite huge and I do browse some of the chinese sellers for out of print stuff on a regular basis.

Using EMS (which I prefer for 'irreplaceables' like figures), shipping runs about 40-50% of the figure cost.
So a $45 USD figure might run me about $15-$20 in shipping. otoh, it is tracked all the way to my door.
I doubt they do wholesale ... their main business is in disks (CD/DVD/etc). And they don't actually keep things in stock -- its completely pre-order.
I tend to split my business between them and www.hlj.com as far as figures go.

ordering from cdjapan or hlj is fine.
sometimes cdjapan has pictures of limited items that hlj doesnt get till after the release so keep an eye out if there is something particular u are looking for.
when i ordered my negima figures by konami (the big realistic ones) i preordered them on cdjapan long before they had picutres up on Hlj.
its ironic because i ordered my tsukuyomi moonphase CD's from hlj that same month that were promoting various other merhcandise at that time and it caught my eye

see this is what i'm talking about, HLJ doesnt have a pic up at this time
but if u check hobbysearch
i think the difference is that HLJ has to wait for officially released pictures where as the JP companies can walk into the store and take pictures of the prototypes?

By: Helene Cooper, NYT
WASHINGTON — Two weeks ago, Gen. James L. Jones, the national security adviser, was holding a meeting at the White House with a high-powered array of his predecessors when President Obama dropped in.
The men gathered in the Situation Room had trolled through a number of national security issues, from China to Afghanistan to Iran. But on that Wednesday, the morning after the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had failed to resolve a standoff over new construction in East Jerusalem with Mr. Obama in White House talks, the major discussion topic was the Middle East. And the question on the table after Mr. Obama joined in: had the time come for the president to put forward his own proposal outlining what a peace deal should look like?
Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft and Samuel Berger, the national security advisers to Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald R. Ford, the first President George Bush and President Bill Clinton, advocated such a move, according to several current and former administration officials in the room. Mr. Scowcroft cast the issue in terms of United States national security and its relations with the Arab world. He argued that only American leadership would break the cycle of distrust, hostility and violence that has prevented Israel and its Arab neighbors from forging a lasting peace deal.
The fact that Mr. Obama was willing to have such an impromptu discussion with former advisers illustrates his increasing frustration with the foot-dragging over Middle East peace talks, and a growing sense that he may have to present a specific plan, rather than wait for the two sides to come to any sort of agreement.
The White House is still pushing for Israelis and Palestinians to have the indirect talks both sides had agreed to before the construction announcement raised too much consternation to proceed. But several administration officials acknowledge that those talks, if they ever start, may get mired pretty quickly.
In joining the discussion two weeks ago, Mr. Obama gave very little away about his intentions, attendees said. "He asked a lot of questions," said one official at the meeting. "He didn't say 'great idea, bad idea.' But he listened."
For Mr. Obama, the issue of the status of East Jerusalem is central to his ambitions to forge a peace plan between Israelis and Palestinians during his presidency, a stated goal. But coming up with an American proposal has drawbacks of its own.
No one seated at the table disagreed with Mr. Scowcroft outright, the officials said — most of the men appeared to agree that Israelis and Palestinians, if left to their own devices, would not come up with anything. But a couple of the participants, including Gen. Colin L. Powell, who was national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan, urged caution, arguing that the administration had to figure out what "Acts 2, 3, and 4" would be if one or both of the sides balked at an American-designed peace deal.
So far, administration officials are still smarting from their first attempt at sticking their collective necks out, as they did last summer when they demanded a freeze of Jewish settlements, and then had to stand back with no contingency plan after Israel refused outright.
One Israeli worry is that once Mr. Obama puts American parameters on the table, the Palestinians will refuse to accept anything less. Meanwhile, Mr. Netanyahu, who leads the right-wing Likud party and whose governing coalition includes parties further to the right, might be unwilling or politically unable to make a deal, foreign policy experts said.
Still, for all of that, a consensus appears to be growing, both within the administration and among outside advisers to the White House, that Mr. Obama will have to consider suggesting a solution to get the two sides moving.
Such a move is "absolutely not on the table right now," a senior administration official said, adding that the United States wanted to first see the start of the indirect, American-brokered peace negotiations, which diplomats refer to as "proximity talks." But the official said those talks would "undoubtedly get mired down, and then you can expect that we would go in with something."
What that would be remains up in the air, but most Middle East experts draw the same outline for a peace deal. First, Palestinian officials would have to accept that there would be no right of return for refugees of the 1948 war that established the Israeli state, and for their millions of descendants. Rather, the Palestinians would have to accept some kind of compensation. Second, the two sides would have to share Jerusalem — Palestinians locating their capital in the east and Israelis in the west, and both signing on to some sort of international agreement on how to share the holy sites in the Old City.
Third, Israel would return to its 1967 borders — before it captured East Jerusalem and the West Bank in the Six-Day War — give or take a few negotiated settlements and territorial swaps. Fourth, the United States or NATO would have to give Israel security guarantees, probably including stationing troops along the Jordan River, to ease Israeli fears that hostile countries could use the Palestinian state as a springboard for attacks. And finally, Arab neighbors like Saudi Arabia would recognize Israel.
"It's not rocket science," said Robert Malley, director of the Middle East Program at the International Crisis Group, the Brussels-based organization that seeks to prevent and resolve deadly conflicts. "And a lot of people who have looked at this have reached the conclusion that the parties won't reach there on their own. If the U.S. wants it done, it will have to do it."
Still, Mr. Malley said, "It's not simply a matter of 'put a plan on the table and see what happens.' " He said the administration must work on getting both Mr. Netanyahu and the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to believe that their best option would be to go along with an American proposal — a tall order.

The HTC Titan is a sleek, attractive Windows Phone that still remains to be a favourite among many consumers. Now that both the 8S and 8X are readily available in multiple markets, how does one spice up the Titan to prolong (or refresh) its beauty? A fresh paint job, of course. This is also perfect if you've somehow managed to accumulate a few scratches on the back plate.
The above shot is of a Titan that has received such treatment, and we must say the end result is pretty neat - especially the glossy finish. Community member mj12bot kicked off a thread on our forum where a handful of photos were published for viewing. It makes us want to quickly head on out and get our nails done too.
Be sure to head on over to the "Titan aint dead! New Paintjob gives Freshness!" thread on our forum to check out more shots and to leave some feedback.
Thanks, M.Ulmer, for the tip!

We used a wholemeal sourdough baguette.. and it was a lovely breakfast.. not too sweet. Went beautifully with the blueberries but would take any berry well and preserved stone fruits too. A dollop of marscapone and fruit would be beautiful and decadent.
I used light milk (2%) and it was lovely... and I didn't miss/wish that I'd used full cream.
Husband's review: "Delicious! Good combination of flavours and textures. The toasted crispness of the bread contrasted well with the custardy goodness of the interior. Well balanced and flavoursome. Satisfying."
Kid's review: "It was Yummy! Can we have french toast tomorrow?"

Despite the sheer amount of time that everyone here has been wasting on this, I'm going to guess a whole lot have so much more appreciation for it now. And I'm going to guess that was the master plan. Time is important but it can be well wasted. We have lots of it too. (clearly)
For me just seeing that first panel was immensely powerful. That they were just sitting there and letting time pass was a wonderful thing. But now its just so much more than i thought it would be (and its still going!) and its all because of everyone else out there watching and waiting.
I wasn't being sarcastic, sorry if it seemed that way! I'll admit, I've been lacking sleep the past few days over this comic, but you just made me sit for a few minutes and think hard about life.
Nono don't worry I didn't think you were being sarcastic. It was just that tiny doubtful voice in the back of my head being silly. I know how you feel about missing sleep, this has been absorbing my life up heaps and heaps. Just more time to contemplate really And thank you for your kind words! Good to know I'm not rambling to empty space.
Also I see that the hashers are back! keep up the hashing talk! its very interesting for someone with no knowledge of it.
Can i get a *bump*? You will gets an internet
