Frontier(s) (US - DVD R1)
Gabe reviews the ninth of After Dark's Eight Films to Die For. Wait, what?
A small gang of petty crooks attempts to take advantage of Paris' recent and deadly race riots. Their heist attempt goes terribly wrong and the group is forced to split up after one member is shot. Yasmine (Karina Testa) and her thuggish ex take the injured man to the hospital, but he doesn't survive. Almost a day ahead of their 'friends', the other gang members stop off in a seedy hostel owned by creepy, sex starved, degenerate rednecks. By the time Yasmine and her ex arrive, their friends are already missing, and foul play appears to be afoot.
The French have proven more than willing to push the boundaries of mainstream cinema throughout modern film history. Many critics and historians co-credit the French along with the Italians for bringing frank sex to the forefront of film, and Georges Franju's Eyes without a Face was quite serious about its shocking violence in the relatively tame time of 1959. A bit late in the game this time, French filmmakers seem to be making up for lost time, as many popular young filmmakers are embracing graphic and unsettling violence tighter and more effectively than ever before. At this point I don't think I'm out of place with crediting them as the hardest of the hard core in the world right now, out revolting America, and out disturbing Japan (though Miike still holds the current 'fun' offensive violence crown).
Gaspar Noé's Seul Contre Tous and Irréversible have pushed the limits of violent sex as far as any semblance of mainstream can handle. Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo's Inside is a take no prisoners, kitchen sink included gore fest the likes of which have been missing since Peter Jackson went straight. Not content to sit on the sidelines of the '70s realist horror revival, filmmakers like Alexandre Aja, Fabrice Du Welz, and Kim Chapiron have kicked out a series of twisted features like Haute Tension, Calvaire, and Sheitan, films which really grasp the texture and terror of the era. Xavier Gens' Frontier(s) continues this tradition.
2006's After Dark Horrorfest 'winner' was Nacho Cerdà's The Abandoned, which was then released separately from the other seven films. I was very disappointed when I finally saw film, because I respected the director, and because I bought into LionsGate and After Dark's aggressive advertising campaign. In 2007 Frontier(s) was considered for the 2007 Horrorfest, but was dropped when it received an NC-17 rating from the MPAA. Rather than cutting it or even dubbing (like they did Haute Tension), After Dark and LionsGate actually took the high road and decided to release the film separately and uncut. This 'too hot for the MPAA' status became the film's main selling point, and again, I've been roped in by the ads. I'm not as disappointed in this film as I was The Abandoned, but I'm not enthralled either.
There is a strong Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Last House on the Left vibe throughout the film. These are arguably the two defining films of the revolutionary '70s realist horror set. This is a bit of a hindrance to Frontier(s) from the outset, because it immediately suffers somewhat unfavourable comparisons to the two incendiary classics. The psycho family ravaging unsuspecting youth thing is so mouldy at this point it's practically penicillin. In fact, one could rightfully accuse Gens of flat out remaking Chainsaw in rural France without the chain saw (cannibal rural family, survivor girl, dinner scene).
Frontier(s) doesn't really turn the tropes on their head either, or play the plot and scares very far against audience expectations, but the tenacity of the violence and pacing is tenacious enough to suggest a sampling to horror fanatics. Gens devises plenty of gruesome ways to dispatch his protagonists, and some of them are genuinely shocking (though Achilles heel cutting threatens to lose its punch these days). This one really comes down to the intensity of the violence, the filmmaking and acting aren't particularly mind blowing, and the script is just too unoriginal, even the film's early attempts at political relevance are kind of negated when the ten steps over-the-top villains are revealed.
But you know what? The last act is pretty freakin' awe inspiring in its utter extremeness. It still isn't something new story-wise (come to think of it the first act plot is rendered more or less extraneous once the second act begins), but things are taken to a place and degree that most of us likely weren't expecting. Though I'd still call Haute Tension the superior movie, we all know Aja's third act had some massive problems, so I'll chock at least one up for Gen.
There are defiantly some issues with this anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 transfer, but it's got it where it counts. The general image struggles with definition in the really darks scenes (which describes just about two thirds of the film), which leads to some overexposed lights. The contrast levels are a bit fishy, leading to some unfavourably flaring whites among the beautiful and deep blacks. However, unlike some recent films that have been particularly dark and ill defined (including that 1080p Blu-ray release of AVP:R) I was never at a loss as to what was going on in frame. The contrast and sharpness tinkering mostly hurts the transfer in the form of edge enhancement. To better emulate that classic '70s look Gens hasn't shied away from a grainy image, and sometimes it hurts the clarity a bit, but this was likely on purpose, and probably wouldn't look much better in high definition.
Frontier(s) revels in a pretty belligerent soundtrack, which fills the surround and stereo channels with creepy ambience pretty consistently throughout the entire film. The score is mostly made up of abstract sounds and punchy scares rather than melodies (except for the super dramatic last act), which isn't anything new to modern horror soundtracks. Though this isn't one of the most impressive and flashy track of its kind I don't think most of us will be disappointed. The LFE track holds some really punchy bite, and the sound designers are smart enough not to overuse it and let it muddy the otherwise clean track. I did notice that the centre channel, which holds the majority of the noise, is a bit quieter than the other channels, which obviously creates a few problems.
Nothing here but some LionsGate and After Dark trailers.
I'm not sure what I was expecting from Frontier(s), but what I got was a reasonably well made thriller with some fantastically upsetting violence, and a script full of tropes and clichés. It's worth seeing for horror fans (it's got a killer last act), but I didn't find it as satisfying as Haute Tension or Wolf Creek. Though who knows how I would've felt if this film was released first. Perhaps I'm suffering a little post-'70s horror fatigue lately.

In Praise of the One-Point Safety
On the one hand, it was a play that added a routine total of one point after a six-point touchdown in a one-sided bowl game. On the other hand, it was one of the rarest scoring plays in the history of top-level football.
Oregon took a 31-10 lead in the third quarter of the Fiesta Bowl against Kansas State on Thursday with a touchdown run by quarterback Marcus Mariota. Alejandro Maldonado lined up to kick the extra point, Kansas State's Javonta Boyd blocked the kick, his teammate Chris Harper ended up with the ball, and he was tackled in the end zone. Cue referee Ron Cherry, who announced to the crowd: "On the previous play we have an unusual ruling." That ruling was a one-point safety for Oregon, one of just two scored by teams at the Football Bowl Subdivision level since 1996, according to Stats Research.
During that same period, there have been 73,810 successful extra points and 93 unsuccessful tries at one- or two-point conversions returned by the defensive team to steal two points. There also have been 1,048 two-point safeties scored by FBS teams since 1996, or
one for every 524 524 for every one one-point safeties. The previous one-point safety was scored by Texas against Texas A&M in 2004.
One-point safeties are practically commonplace in college football compared to the NFL, where there have been none since 1940, according to Stats. That's mainly because there is little incentive for the defensive team to take possession of the ball on a one- or two-point conversion try: When the defense gets possession, the play is dead. So the only scenario that could result in a one-point safety in the NFL involves a defensive player batting the ball out of the end zone without having taken possession.
There is one play even rarer in college football: the return of a missed field goal for a touchdown. It's happened just once since 1996. It came in 2010, when Houston's aptly named Tyron Carrier returned Southern Mississippi's Daniel Hrapmann's missed 59-yard field goal attempt for a touchdown with one second left in the first half of the Conference USA rivalry game. And even that play may belong partially in the much more common category of scoring off blocked field goals, since reports say the kick was partially blocked. There have been 110 other scores returned off blocked field goals by FBS schools since 1996, and 574 touchdowns off blocked punts. These compare to 25,945 field goals made, 9,835 field goals missed but not blocked and 1,709 field goals blocked--so one in 15.5 blocked field goals has been returned for a touchdown.
In the NFL, returning missed field goals for touchdowns is far more common. It's happened 15 times since 1940, along with 89 TDs off returns of blocked field goals and 266 touchdowns off returns of blocked punts. So the truly rare play to watch out for in the pros is a one-point safety. Best bets to do it in the playoffs are the Falcons, 49ers and Patriots, who all in the last six weeks have allowed opposing teams to score more garden-variety two-point safeties (887 of those since 1940).

That may depend on your exercise intensity and workout goals.
Q: Should I monitor my heart rate when exercising?
A: That may depend on your exercise intensity and workout goals. As long as you have a low-risk pregnancy with no contraindications, such as high blood pressure or symptoms of premature labor, exercise is good for you, and aiming for a target heart rate can help you work out at an appropriate level. While the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women use the "talk test" when exercising (if you can talk normally, your heart rate is acceptable), in 2002 Canadian experts suggested utilizing target heart rates. But since those rates were based solely on age, they are inappropriate for some women, including those who are sedentary or very fit, says Michelle F. Mottola, Ph.D., director of the Exercise and Pregnancy Lab at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. The new guidelines establish target rates according to age and fitness level.
"Women can still use the talk test to stay in the correct range, but now they can be even more precise with their workout goals," Mottola says. The best way to determine your heart rate is to wear a monitor, or you can measure your pulse for six seconds and multiply by 10.
Fitness Level Target heart rate: ages 20-29 Target heart rate: ages 30-39 Unfit (sedentary and/or overweight) 129-144 128-144 Active (exercise occasionally) 132-152 129-148 Fit (exercise regularly at high intensity) 145-160 140-156

Review: Wyborowa Exquisite (Wodka)
Posted by Arctic Wolf on March 24, 2011
It is speculated that Poland was the first country to have produced the spirit which we now call Vodka (or Wodka as it is pronounced in Poland). The name translates from Polish literally as "little water", and in support of the claim that Poland is the origin of this spirit are documents referencing the word 'vodka' from the Palatinate of Sandomierz (an administrative unit of local government) in Poland from 1405. As well, the first written usage of the word Vodka in the Russian language appears to be from 1533 in reference to a medicinal drink which was being brought to Russia from Poland by Kiev Merchants. The Etymology is far from certain, but is certain is that we can place vodka firmly into the traditions of Slavic culture up to five hundred years ago.
Wyborowa (pronounced Vee Bow Row Va) Vodka is an authentic Polish Vodka made from 100 per cent Rye grain. The grain is grown in the Pozan region of Poland, and it is initially distilled in small local agricultural distilleries into a raw spirit. This raw spirit is further refined at the Wyborowa modern rectification plant in Pozan where it is processed through a three column continuous still to reach the desired level of purity. Water from a deep ground aquifer is used to bring the spirit to 40 % abv.
Wyborowa Exquisite is the Premium version of Wyborowa Vodka and it is produced in Turew, which is a single estate distillery in Western Poland. It is distilled using 100 % Dankowslie Slote Rye Grain. The Wyborowa Exquisite has been my Vodka of choice for several years now. However, now that I am beginning to experiment a little with Vodka spirits I thought I should put my favourite Wyborowa Vodka through the paces of my review methodology to see how it compares to the other Premium Vodka Samples I have recently received.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"…A mellow rye-like heat is present in my throat after I swallow. I detected no bitterness, only a very light aftertaste which is of rye spice, and a delicate gin-like flavour of piny citrus. A nice beginning…."

All In The Family... Another Trip Down Memory Lane... Chores and Duties...
I found myself in the mood to clean the refrigerator this afternoon. I took out the shelves and drawers and washed them in the sink. I threw out a few virtually empty salad dressings and pickle jars. I didn't find anything too nasty except for one lemon that was starting to go moldy. It didn't take too long and I'm glad it's done.
When I had my first school-teaching job, I shared a little basement apartment with my sister who was in high school. There wasn't any bus service in our county and we lived 32 miles out in the country, so it saved a lot of driving for Charlotte to live with me.
We cooked for ourselves, but we didn't usually have much in the refrigerator. Maybe that's why we didn't see a need to clean it out very often. One time, a little bowl of pork-and-beans sat in the back corner of a shelf for months.
One day I came home and Charlotte told me that she had defrosted and cleaned out the refrigerator. "You know that bowl of pork and beans?" she asked. "Those were peas."
Since then, I've tried to clean out the fridge more regularly.
When the kids were little, I went through a phase of using Hidden Vallen Ranch Dressing mixes. I would stir up the dressing and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator. The dressing was white with dark flecks in it and even though the jar was never labeled, we all knew what it was.
One evening as we were eating supper, Keely wanted some ranch dressing to dip her carrot sticks in, so she got out the jar and spooned some onto her plate. I didn't pay much attention to what she was doing until she made loud spitting and gagging noises.
"That dressing's spoiled, Mom!" she sputtered indignantly. Then I realized what she had got from the refrigerator -- not a jar of ranch dressing, but a jar of cold, congealed sausage gravy, left over from the biscuits and gravy I'd fixed as a treat for Dennis that morning.
After that shocking experience, Keely wouldn't taste sausage gravy for many, many years. The morning after Christmas this year, I fixed biscuits and gravy, and I noticed that she had some. I'm glad she has finally recovered.


text: Zod 14,969 Report post Posted August 8, 2012 Texans at Panthers Saturday August 11 Bank of America Stadium Last game Dec18, 2011 Panthers won easily 28-13 Things to watch: Captain Munnerlyn: Much like Chris Gamble last off season, taking a lot of heat from fans on poor play. Gamble stepped up, will Captain? Amini Silatolu: Currently the only starting rookie on the depth chart (Although I suspect Luke Kuechly will start come game time). It is possible he could single handedly improve our run game a great deal. Armanti Edwards: Having the best camp of his career. Will it translate when it counts, or is he a practice player? Joe Adams: Could overtake Armanti's punt return duties quickly with a couple of good runbacks. Battle of Kickers: If Mare misses field goals he may not make it through the preseason. Panthers have been impressed with Medlock. Defensive Tackles: Starting jobs here are still up for grabs. McClain and Edwards are listed as the starters, but that may not be the case come the regular season. The home crowd: Following the largest fan fest turnout since 1996, will Bank of America stadium be rocking in the preseason?

It's hard to stop that when you cannot hit him. The way you stop a running QB is to make him scared to run it a lot. Upsets will happen, no doubt, but losses to the Panthers & Colts was inexcusable IMO. Cam is a very good qb, but good teams put bad teams away regardless of officials making a couple of bad calls. Don't leave it in the officials hands & there won't be an issue. Just saying... Click here to view the article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nursing professor receives $50k grant to study new nursing graduates

Loyola press release - October 12, 2012
Loyola University New Orleans School of Nursing assistant professor Jessica Peterson R.N., Ph.D., knows the best nurses aren't born, they are educated. To that end, Peterson received a nearly $50,000 grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to study the best strategies to teach undergraduate nursing students and new graduates clinical skills.
Peterson, along with fellow primary investigator on the project Linda McGillis of the University of Toronto and their team, will conduct the one-year study focusing on students and new nursing graduates all over the world. Peterson and McGillis will scour hundreds of research papers published on new nursing graduates to determine different approaches to teaching clinical competence.
"I'm excited because there has been a lot published about new graduates and about their experiences when they first begin work, and this is a chance to pull it together and synthesize what we know," Peterson said. Peterson's research portfolio is in nursing administration and she teaches in the graduate programs at Loyola's School of Nursing.
This type of research is the first step to ensuring that nursing graduates thrive and continue to fill needed nursing jobs nationwide. Successful nursing graduates are an important part of the equation to expanding health care access to underserved communities—something that speaks to Loyola's foundation in Jesuit education and its commitment to service, according to Ann Cary, Ph.D., director of Loyola's School of Nursing.
"Dr. Peterson and her colleagues will investigate the research findings to systematically reveal and translate best practices in the preparation and utilization of the new nurse employee for our health industry," Cary said.
"The initial part of this research can lead to discoveries about retaining new nurses entering the work force, ultimately increasing nurse work force retention. As more patients enter our U.S. health care system, nurse retention has economic consequences for our industry in the face of the increasing need for access to nursing care."
Loyola's School of Nursing is consistently ranked by both U.S. News and World Report and thebestcolleges.org as one of the premier nursing schools in the country. The three graduate nursing programs at Loyola are ranked in the top five graduate nursing online programs in the U.S. by the U.S. News & World Report 2012 rankings.

Obviously, this kid has it
Violent video games must be the culprit. Science says they cause mass shootings, right? So why not this, too?
Nearly one in five high school age boys in the United States and 11 percent of school-age children over all have received a medical diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These rates reflect a marked rise over the last decade and could fuel growing concern among many doctors that the A.D.H.D. diagnosis and its medication are overused in American children.
The figures showed that an estimated 6.4 million children ages 4 through 17 had received an A.D.H.D. diagnosis at some point in their lives, a 16 percent increase since 2007 and a 53 percent rise in the past decade. About two-thirds of those with a current diagnosis receive prescriptions for stimulants like Ritalin or Adderall, which can drastically improve the lives of those with A.D.H.D. but can also lead to addiction, anxiety and occasionally psychosis.
"Those are astronomical numbers. I'm floored," said Dr. William Graf, a pediatric neurologist in New Haven and a professor at the Yale School of Medicine. He added, "Mild symptoms are being diagnosed so readily, which goes well beyond the disorder and beyond the zone of ambiguity to pure enhancement of children who are otherwise healthy."

So...? Eternal: Now, I love absolutely everything about this one! From the smell to the detail. The smell is beautiful and I would wear this all the time if I could (but it might run out)! It almost smells like a sweetie which is a VERY good thing! Also inside the bottle there is a wee crystal and it's quite amusing to watch float around! This one is AWESOME!

Guide of the month: January 2018
Traveling gives us the opportunity to disconnect from our regular life. You get to forget your problems/issues for a few weeks, it can also help you figure things out that you would not have understood without the distance traveling can give you. We all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, going away alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are for you. Like the saying says: we never know what we have until we lose it.
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get to do. It's nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Going on vacation lets us recharge our "batteries" by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It's a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept.
Traveling increases our knowledge and widens our perspective. To view new customs, different ways of living is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about life and especially our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones. When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food, some cultures don't have fries in their diet and they are all skinny, others use spices to give taste and not oils or fats. Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting. You also need to visit exotic new places and discover what this wonderful world has to offer.

There is risk of ongoing Zika virus transmission in Suriname.
Take meticulous anti-mosquito bite measures during the daytime. Pregnant travellers should postpone travel to this country.
Zika Virus infection is caused by the Zika Virus (ZIKV) belonging to the Flaviviridae family. The virus is primarily transmitted by infected daytime biting female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes which are typically active from dawn to dusk. There is evidence that Zika Virus is also transmitted by other mosquitoes belonging to the Aedes genus.
The virus can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Human transmission can also occur through unprotected vaginal, anal or oral sex. In some patients, researchers have found that the virus can be shed through saliva and urine.
Zika Virus is present in Mexico, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, tropical areas of Southeast Asia, Oceania, and parts of Africa. All travellers are at risk. Long-term travellers and aid or missionary workers going to areas where Zika Virus is endemic are at greater risk.
Information about the virus is continuously evolving. However, there is strong scientific consensus that Zika Virus causes neurological complications: Guillain-Barré syndrome (progressive muscle weakness that can lead to temporary paralysis) and microcephaly (decreased head size which may lead to developmental delays) in infants born to pregnant women infected with the virus.
In the majority of cases, Zika Virus infection is asymptomatic – persons do not exhibit symptoms. Those with symptoms usually get ill 3-12 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Symptoms include mild fever, headache, muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, and general malaise. The illness is characterized by pink eye (inflammation of the conjunctiva), a skin rash with red spots on the face, neck, trunk, and upper arms which can spread to the palms or soles, and sensitivity to light. Some may also have a lack of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and dizziness. Most people fully recover from the illness within 7 days. Treatment includes supportive care of symptoms. There is no antiviral treatment available.
The Zika Virus is related to Dengue, Yellow Fever, West Nile Virus, and Japanese Encephalitis. It may be misdiagnosed for Dengue and Chikungunya.
Travellers going to areas with Zika Virus should take meticulous measures to prevent mosquito bites during the daytime. There is currently no preventive medication or vaccine against Zika Virus.
Travellers who are pregnant or considering pregnancy should postpone travel to areas with Zika Virus transmission.
To avoid sexual transmission of the virus to a pregnant partner, travellers who have been in areas with risk of Zika Virus transmission should practice safe sex for the duration of the pregnancy.
All travellers, particularly partners considering pregnancy, should practice safe sex or abstinence for at least 6 months if one or both partners have travelled to an area with risk of Zika Virus transmission. Practicing safe sex is recommended even if you or your partner do not have symptoms. Most Zika Virus infections are asymptomatic (show no signs or symptoms), but transmission of the virus to another person can still occur.
If you travel to or live in an area with risk of Zika virus transmission, follow meticulous mosquito bite prevention measures during the daytime.

Interlibrary Loan - I am shocked!
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Then I searched for the book and it took me to Wildcat, a huge on-line library. You can find any book on it and what libraries have it. They even tell you how many miles away it is! So I found the book I wanted. It was clear off in Texas and I live in Oregon. They guided me through the steps and I completed my request.
I really must say - it worked! Two weeks later, my local library e-mailed me telling me the book was there and ready for pick up. Sure enough it was! Plus - there was no charge! Yipee!!
This book is fat. It is amazing and I was able to find my ancestor's easily. Just what my new cousin said. There are no extensions for borrowing the book, so I'll need to return it to my library in about three weeks.
This is an amazing service. If you have not done this before you should try it. I'm sure a lot of you are laughing because you have used it many times. I want to encourage those who are just like me to try it out. You will be amazed.
Happy Hunting.

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Violence continued to escalate in Yemen on Sunday as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to demand that President Ali Abdullah Saleh be removed from office and charged with crimes he committed during his presidency.
At least one protester was killed and another 14 injured by pro-government forces during the demonstrations. Sunday's violence comes a day after as many as 50 people were killed by government forces in demonstrations, according to reports.
After spending three months in Saudi Arabia recuperating from a rocket attack, Mr. Saleh returned to Yemen on Friday. There was much speculation that Saudi officials would not allow Saleh to return unless he was committed to stepping down from power, but he appears to have returned without any such guarantees.
Now, with little indication that Saleh will step down and violence on the rise, there are renewed concerns that Yemen may be headed for an all out civil war. If the country continues in this direction, it will be of particular concern for Western nations worried about terrorist organizations who use Yemen as a safe haven.
"If Mr. Saleh does not start to transfer power to his opponents, ranging from pro-democracy demonstrators in the streets to senior tribal and military leaders, then the crisis in Yemen is likely to worsen rapidly," writes Patrick Cockburn in an editorial for The Independent. "The long stand-off has already seen Yemen's traditionally weak central state further disintegrate."
Peace efforts
Saleh has called for peace talks and a return to a plan to end the fighting put forward months ago by the Gulf Cooperation Council, a regional body of Persian Gulf countries. Saleh blames Yemen's opposition forces for the break down in talks, reports Bloomberg.
The United Nations Security Council has called for an end to the violence in Yemen, urging restraint from both sides as they work towards a solution.
"They called on all parties to move forward urgently in an inclusive, orderly and Yemeni-led process of political transition," wrote the UNSC in a statement republished by Al Arabiya. "The members of the Security Council expressed their grave concern at the continued serious deterioration of the economic and humanitarian situation in Yemen. They were deeply concerned at the worsening security situation, including the threat from Al Qaeda in parts of Yemen."
Civil war already?
Many in Yemen are already saying that a civil war has begun. The Yemen Observer ran an article headlined "Civil War starts in Yemen," saying that both sides of the conflict are battling to gain territory from the other side, threatening the lives of demonstrators and civilians.
At least 144 people have been killed in demonstrations and violence throughout Yemen over the past seven days, reports Al Jazeera. Saleh's rival, Major-General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar called on the international community to help remove the long reigning strongman from power. Mr. Al-Ahmar also compared Saleh to Roman Emperor Nero for burning down his own city and called him a "sick, vengeful soul."
The return of Saleh appears to have given new life to the revolution in Yemen, reports The New York Times. During Saleh's three-month absence, protests lost much of their fervor.
"We consider his return as a good thing, because it will give life to our revolution," said Humaid Mansour, a law student in the article by The New York Times. "When he was in Saudi, people said, 'OK, it's over, he left.' Now he came back. So now the goal is clear."

Ten years ago, Teri George was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). For nearly a decade, she has been confined to a wheelchair while caring for two young children.
While struggling with the burden of her disease, George was inspired, and has spent the last four years hard at work to raise awareness for MS within the community of Kilmarnock and the Northern Neck.
In less than two months, Kilmarnock will hold its first MS Walk, the brainchild of a local group George has spearheaded.
And, after the feeling returned in her legs sixth months ago enabling her to walk again, another dream of George's may soon be realized as she plans to walk with her friends and family through the community she loves.
Born and raised outside of Kilmarnock in Weems, George was inspired by walks in Richmond and Tappahannock to establish one in Lancaster County.
She shared the idea of a walk with individuals in the MS Society a few times in the past, but said that there people in different positions within the society at the time.
"It got overlooked," she said.
But then, she was given the opportunity to have lunch with President Sherri Ellis of the society's Central Virginia Chapter, Sharon Baldacci of the Northern Neck Neuromuscular Support Group and others with ties to the illness.
"We all just met and it was actually by happy accident that I even got invited," said George, adding that she was able to speak one-on-one with Ellis about her vision.
"She was happy to hear it and accepted the idea right then and there," said George, adding that she has enjoyed a "fun process" in piecing her idea into a reality.
And, last Friday, four women with MS and Clare Lorio, the Development Manager for the Central Virginia Chapter of the National MS Society, met over apple cake and coffee at Betty Smith's house in Warsaw to discuss the goals and motivations behind MS Walk: Kilmarnock, which will make its debut on Saturday, Apr. 20 at Grace Episcopal Church.
Along with George, Millers Tavern resident Evelyn Ransome, Esther Glover and Baldacci shared their experiences with MS as well as their hope to raise public awareness regarding the illness through the walk.
Baldacci called events like the MS walks and support groups "community-building" because they show individuals with the illness that they are not alone.
"I can remember when we went through some horrible relapses and feeling so alone," said Baldacci. "This going to sound weird, but it's so wonderful to have somebody else going through the same thing and not feel so alone."
Lorio agreed.
"On the outside looking in, I would imagine that there are still a lot of people newly diagnosed that don't feel like, 'I'm the only one, this is only happening to me,'" Lorio said. "They don't realize how many people in their community are living with the same thing, and are able to help them in terms of emotional support."
Ransome said that not only did she and her daughter have MS, but so did two daughters within her community.
However, Baldacci shared that talking to others about MS was difficult since symptoms were not always visible.
"It's not something you can see if somebody's legs or arms go numb," Baldacci said. "Then there's fatigue which is horrible and you can't see that, and lots of family members are concerned because they don't understand."
George said limited understanding from others contributed to her struggles with MS.
"When I was diagnosed, I had had symptoms for at least six or seven years," said George. "The doctors…were not aware enough to be able to diagnose me."
She stressed that the MS walk did more than just help create awareness and acceptance in the community for the people living with MS.
"It's also a matter of spreading [knowledge of the illness] throughout the medical community, because we are a smaller area," she said. "We do have people with these special needs here and [we] need answers."
Glover pointed out that although there is a neurologist at Rappahannock General in Kilmarnock, there is no specialist for MS on the Northern Neck.
Lorio said that a bulkhead of the money raised by the MS walks goes to the National Center for Research and emphasized research as the primary means for benefiting individuals with MS.
She added: "Until we talk about it and bring awareness, we're not going to continue to plunge into those avenues for research. "
Lorio said that the society took "great pains" to ensure that people in wheelchairs will be able to traverse the path with ease.
"It's kind of the do-it-yourself personal fundraising that each team does," she said, adding that incentives like free T-shirts will be provided on the walk for teams and individuals who raise $125 and higher.
Lorio said the society is hoping for 75 walkers, although she smiled when she added that if they did reach 100, she would "do a little dance."
"We're hoping to start strong and just get bigger," she said. " [That way], people are aware and we can spread it to the smaller communities around here and reach out.
"It's not just about Kilmarnock," Lorio added. It's here [in Warsaw] and…all these smaller communities being able to come together for something. "
George was excited about the upcoming walk in Kilmarnock.
"We're such a small-town area and we're so closely knit that I know that if everyone is aware about it and willing to join along, I know that we can all come together and be really successful," she said.
To learn how to become a part of the first Walk MS: Kilmarnock, visit the Northern Neck Family YMCA on Thursday, Mar. 7 in Kilmarnock at 6 p.m. For more information, call 804-591-3037.

Sharkoon X-Tatic Digital Review
Audio plays a key part in the gaming experience, if most people know it or not. In single player, the audio immerses you into the scene, enhancing the story and game play. In multiplayer the audio works to your tactical advantage; hear the footsteps and gunshots of enemies. Most gamers settle for the stereo speakers on their TV or computer, or go for a basic headset. All of these options leave much to be desired when it comes to taking full advantage of audio in games.
Some users will go the extra step and buy a higher-end stereo gaming headset or surround sound speakers. Even still, they both have their negatives. The stereo headset may provide high quality audio, but it gives you no sense of 3D audio. The surround sound system on the other hand, may provide good audio quality and positional audio, but they are not only expensive but take up a lot of space. Only somewhat recently (as in the last three or four years), have we started to see surround sound headsets. Early models were somewhat lackluster, providing no real upgrade in 3D audio and were therefore considered a gimmick. However, like any other piece of technology, surround headset performance has come a long way in four years, and become a legitimate piece of hardware in gaming setups.
One of the most recent examples of these is the Sharkoon X-Tatic 5.1 Digital Headset. The major features introduced in this headset are an included sound processor, built in amplifier, eight individual speakers (four in each ear) and even Xbox 360 and PS3 microphone compatibility. Based solely on the features, this headset should appeal not only to gamers, but music and movie enthusiasts also. Let's see if the X-Tatic Digital is the perfect addition to a gamer's audio setup.
Closer Look:
The Sharkoon X-Tatic Digital comes in very attractive packaging. The front has a black and green theme overall and is dominated by a large picture of the side of the headset. From here you can partially see the headset inside the inner plastic packaging. Around the back you find more detailed specifications and features listed in nine different languages. The side lists a few features and doesn't show anything new from the front or back. Opening up the front of the box you get a full view of the headset, the SCU and more detailed features and awards.
Opening up the packaging for the X-Tatic Digital is interesting, because Sharkoon had to pack a lot of accessories and components into a very small area. You find yourself with a handful of cables and small accessory boxes. As you can see, there are quite a few pieces to the headset system, so we'll go through them individually.
The first thing you might want to check out are the manual and quick start guide. Both were very clear and easy to read (in nine different languages of course), but for the most part were not needed. In the power department you'll find the AC adapter and three different region plugs (North America, England and Europe are included). Next are the console microphone connectors; an XBOX 360 controller adapter, and a standard USB A to B plug for the PS3. In the input/output department, you'll find the detachable microphone, a single optical audio cable and an adapter to use the headset without the Sound Control Unit.
Now with the accessories out of the way, let's take a look at the headset itself.

Schoolcraft wins rivalry game 37-28
If history repeats itself, Constantine varsity football team's 37-28 loss to Schoolcraft Friday was merely an obstacle in the nine-week regular season.
The Falcons suffered a 10-point setback at home to the Eagles in Week 2 of the 2012 season, but Constantine won when it mattered most: 40-27 in the district playoff game nine weeks later, on its march to the state championship game.
For now, however, coach Shawn Griffith said he learned something about his team.
"We're young," Griffith said. "We're a young team but the only thing that really upsets me is we came out and we were tired. I can honestly say that might be the first time in 20-odd years of coaching football at Constantine that I've looked out and seen a tired football team — especially in that second half."
Griffith, however, owned up to the state of his team, saying he and his coaching staff will make sure the squad isn't exhausted next week against Vermontville Maple Valley.
"That's our fault, nothing on them, that's our fault," he added. "We will make sure we'll come out in shape and blocking and tackling a whole lot better than we did tonight."
Though the loss throws a wrench in Constantine's bid for a league title, it has plenty of season left to poise for a deep run in the playoffs. There were some bright spots Friday that showed promise for another strong season.
On his team's second offensive play of the game, sophomore quarterback Matt Hasbrouck rambled 97 yards on a keeper for a touchdown and a quick 8-0 lead.
Junior Justin Hull, a playoff hero in 2012, continued his momentum from last year with 153 rushing yards, including a 5-yard touchdown run in the opening minute of the second quarter and a 1-yard bolt early in the fourth quarter.
Junior Taylor Reiff outran a group of Schoolcraft defenders and scored on a 38-yard dash late in the second quarter to give the Falcons a 22-21 halftime lead. Reiff also recovered a first-quarter fumble.
Sophomore Eric Petoskey made a head's-up interception on a Schoolcraft pass batted high in the air by a Constantine player.
The pickoff eventually led to Constantine's second-quarter touchdown on a four-play, 57-yard drive.
A number of players, including Hasbrouck, missed portions of the game due to injuries.
Griffith said cramps caused the majority of the problems but he expects a healthy roster Friday.
"I really could not believe I was walking off the field a halftime with the lead," Griffith said. "We didn't play very crisp, there are some things we have to work on in practice. But my seniors will step it up and get the rest of this team ready for next week."
Schoolcraft coach Terry Haas said the win was "just a matter of will."
"We kind of made plays at the end of the game, a big pass and we mixed it up enough to get them off balance," he said. "Our defense really hung in there and made some big plays and big stops at the end to hold on to the win."
Haas said he would allow his squad to celebrate briefly, but a tough matchup against Olivet is on deck next and pursuit of a league title remain on track.
"We'll certainly enjoy this one then move on," Haas said. "Right now, we don't care about whether or not we'll see Constantine in the playoffs, we're just going to enjoy this one and focus on a league championship."

text: Hi everybody, After a while I'm coming back here to clarify another doubt of mine. I'm running ISPConfig3 Version 184.108.40.206 Multiserver setup on 7 Debian 6.0 servers (VM's), and trying to use the function update OS. I read that the update perform an "aptitude -y upgrade", and here I'm used to use "apt-get -y upgrade", I know it doesn't have any difference but I changed on the ISPconfig scripts the lines where it was written aptitude for apt-get. After changing that I went to the update OS function and selected All servers to do it. But only the master server and a database server were updated, and the others remains not updated. Does anyone has ever used that function with success? Am I missing some previous config to use it? Thanks guys! ;D

The relationship between people and their governments in Florida - city and county commissions, school boards and the Legislature, for instance - is meant to be straightforward.
Part 2 of 2
The relationship between people and their governments in Florida — city and county commissions, school boards and the Legislature, for instance — is meant to be straightforward.
Meetings of various elected and appointed bodies must be given public notice — often an agenda is posted — and most governmental records, with some narrow exemptions, are open to people to review and copy.
In Polk County's two largest cities, Lakeland and Winter Haven, this simple recipe has become scrambled. The taste is bitter.
This is Sunshine Week, which began Sunday. News organizations and others use the week to stress the importance of open government and access to pubic records.
Among the matters taken up by Part 1 of this Sunshine Week editorial duo were important decisions of the Winter Haven City Commission. They were voted upon without the matters being listed on the commission meeting agendas, reported The Ledger's Ryan E. Little in an article Feb. 10.
Also analyzed was the withholding of portions of public records by the Lakeland Police Department. They are connected to the case of Bernardo Copeland Jr. of Lakeland, reported The Ledger's Jeremy Maready in an article Jan. 6. Copeland was accused of shooting a man in Lakeland in August, and then charged with attempted murder and armed robbery in the shooting of another man in November. Only afterward was he charged with aggravated battery in the first shooting.
Another long period between commission of a serious crime and the person accused of the crime being charged by Lakeland police in a shooting was reported by Maready in a Feb. 23 article.
Adrian Nesbeth was hit in the head with a sledgehammer Aug. 27, 2010. The case was not assigned to an investigator until Oct. 18, 2010, was not completed until Nov. 18, 2010, and a warrant for the arrest of Reginald "Snooky" Enzor was not issued until Dec. 20, 2010.
On Jan. 2, 2011, Enzor killed his wife, Radiah Anquenette Craft-Enzor, by stabbing her with a knife. He pleaded guilty and is serving a life sentence in prison.
When asked by The Ledger for its Enzor records, the Lakeland Police Department said there were none.
Following the articles about Lakeland police records, a grand jury began an investigation, which included testimony by Ledger Editor Lenore Devore and five reporters — a "very unusual step" to protect public information, said Publisher Jerome Ferson.
The grand jury made no criminal charges, but made a presentment. That report is sealed, as the law requires, and time was allowed for appeals. It may be unsealed by court order.
Winter Haven has been trying to finalize a deal for a developer to transform its Chain O' Lakes Complex — at U.S. 17 and Cypress Gardens Boulevard — into The Landings: shopping, dining and lodging.
On March 14, 2011, the City Commission voted to sell the land to a company owned by Taylor Pursell of Birmingham, Ala. On Jan. 28 of this year, after ongoing disagreements between the two parties, the city sent Pursell a letter terminating their contract.
Then City Attorney John Murphy asked the City Commission to hold off on eviction and allow "remediation discussions." The commission approved in a 3-0 vote Feb. 11, reported Little in an article Feb. 12.
Since then, the city has refused a Ledger request to see a letter sent by Pursell to the city. Winter Haven cited a state law giving confidentiality to communication related to mediation. One, remediation discussions are not mediation. Two, mediation is a process ordered by a court, which has not been done.
Government is powerful, so the right of the people to oversee its actions by attending board meetings and reviewing documents is critical.
Lakeland, Winter Haven and all local, regional and state agencies in Polk County should embrace these government-in-the-sunshine rights.

Willie Jackson III met his death as a result of a stab wound to the chest that injured his heart and liver, a medical examiner testified Friday in Worcester Superior Court.
Pathologist Dr. Peter Cummings, who performed an autopsy Mr. Jackson, 25, Dec. 23, 2009, said the wound to the left side of his chest penetrated both ventricles of his heart as well as his liver.
Dr. Cummings� testimony came during the trial of 54-year-old Felix Rodriguez, the man accused of inflicting the fatal wound on the night of Dec. 22, 2009, after a confrontation in a makeshift basement apartment at 25 Charlton St.
Mr. Rodriguez, who is also alleged to have held the knife to the neck of another man who was present, Tyrone Harris, has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Mr. Rodriguez told police he stabbed Mr. Jackson after being attacked by him and Mr. Harris, and that all three were high on crack cocaine at the time.
Under cross-examination by Mr. Rodriguez�s lawyer, John J. Roemer, Dr. Cummings said toxicology tests showed Mr. Jackson had a 0.1 blood-alcohol level and had cocaine and cocaine metabolites in his system.
The presence of the cocaine indicated the drug had been �recently ingested� before Mr. Jackson�s death, the medical examiner said.
Mr. Rodriguez�s stepson, Edwin Rivera, was later called to the stand by Assistant District Attorney Brett F. Dillon. A reluctant witness, Mr. Rivera uttered immediately after being sworn in and before being asked any questions, �I�m not testifying against my father, just to let you guys know. I wasn�t there. I didn�t see anything.�
Under questioning by Mr. Dillon, Mr. Rivera said his stepfather came to his home at 30A Hermitage Lane after the stabbing, with his face bleeding, and told him he had stabbed a man after getting into a fight and getting punched and knocked down.
�Two people attacked him, and he defended himself,� Mr. Rivera said he was told by his stepfather.
Mr. Rivera said Mr. Rodriguez �was in shock� and appeared drunk when he arrived at his home and displayed a knife he had in his pocket.
When asked by the prosecutor why he did not tell police in a statement he gave that his father appeared intoxicated, Mr. Rivera responded, �They didn�t ask me.�
Testimony is scheduled to resume Tuesday morning.

Jaime Hernandez: The 2002-P Uncirculated Sacagawea Dollar was only sold to collectors by the U.S. Mint in bags, rolls and in Mint Sets from that year. Because of this, the coins took a huge decline in mintage from the previous year. The mintage for this date and mint mark was under four million. Compare this mintage to the previous year when the Philadelphia Mint struck over 60 million.
The 2001-P Uncirculated Sacagawea Dollar had a much lower mintage than the previous year due to lack of coins being used in circulation. The coins were just not popular and most banks had more than enough coins to supply for commerce.
Bags: The U.S. Mint began selling the 2002-P Uncirculated Sacagawea Dollar in bags on April 29, 2002. Each bag contained a total of 2000 coins. Each bag containing 2000 coins had a price of $2,190 if purchased directly from the U.S. Mint.
Rolls: The Mint also sold the coins in rolls of 25 coins each. The price for each roll was set at $35.50 if purchased directly from the U.S. Mint.
Mint Sets: The 2002 Mint Set went on sale on June 12, 2002. Each Mint Set was sold for a price of $14.95 each if purchased directly from the U.S. Mint. Each Mint Set had an example of every circulating coin for that year from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. Additionally, it also had the Uncirculated 2001-P and D Sacagawea Dollars even though they did not go into circulation.

Besan flour-1 cup
Rice flour-2 tbsp
Chilli powder
Hing-a pinch
kasuri methi-a pinch
Coriander powder-1/4 tsp
Spinach-chopped 2 cups
Onions-chopped 1/4 cup
Oil-to deep fry
Heat oil. Take a laddle full of hot oil and mix with the above ingredients. If the mixture is dry, add very little water(less than 1/4 cup)to make a thick paste.
Take some mixture and drop it in oil until golden brown. Fry in batches.
Serve with ketchup.

Porter Says: "Martha is a great fit for Yale. Coming out of CRI and training under Ethan Curren I know she will be ready to go when she gets here. She is a racer that's for sure."
Why Yale? "I chose Yale primarily on the strength of the people I met there. The students were relaxed yet purposeful and I found the same in the professors. When I walked on campus, I had that magical 'feeling' that everyone talks about, yet can never describe."
Quote: My coach always tells us...."Winning is not normal. I would like to think that we, as a team, are not normal."
