i am most definitely brainwashed by the word of God. that is exactly how i would describe it.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
no we are no longer bound by the 10 commandments according to the new covenant.
A couple people here have admitted they were in the drug scene but they left it and don't talk like it anymore.
sort of like how you believe you know without a doubt that evolution is the truth and then you turned your back on it anyway to become a christian muslim whatever.that would be like the unforgivable sin of evolution.
^^^ Lack of faith (and don't forget iron) eh? These are the things that stop god in his tracks. Kryptonite has never been so easy to come by.
does lack of faith mean some or no faith?
Quote from: rob on December 03, 2011, 10:28:43 PMdoes lack of faith mean some or no faith?I don't know. What's the difference? Does god give you as much grace as you have faith? We know he forgives you in response to how much you forgive others (except for those pesky offenses that he refuses to tolerate ever), so there's some grace/righteousness economy going on here. How little is enough for the Righteousness Cloak to work? And If god is going to look the other way and declare someone righteous, does that mean he is easily fooled or he just likes to make rules and break them for fun?

what are good things that i dont appreciate?. I WANT TO KNOW WHO TOLD SOCIETY WHAT IS GOOD OR NOT? please SOMEBODY. anybody
rob, I'm happy you stopped being an ass hole, but come on man. None of this god stuff is real. You quote the bible as if the things inside it are true. They're not. There is no such thing as the Christian God. All that stuff about faith and grace and saving us is just stupid. It's completely fake. Your theological take on things is just that... theology. Not fact. When you postulate a being that could literally do anything, then it's not overly hard to come up a theology around it that makes sense to you. That has nothing to do with whether its true or not. While you may be sitting there reading this and shaking your head and thinking about how I just don't 'get' it or something... no man... just no. It's all really fake. It really is. You should also stop quoting the bible to us, because nobody actually thinks the stuff in there is true anymore. If you want to convince anyone that God is real, you can't use the bible. You have to use real world evidence of some kind. Do you have any? And please stop underlining and bolding so much stuff. It adds nothing and is a little annoying. Have a good one.
RobYou been sacrificing all your first born animals to your god, as required in Leviticus 27:26, or are you another hypocrite, just cherry-picking on your biblical journey through life?Just curious.
i know it is foolishness to nonchristians it should according to bible
1 cor.18-21 says The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction,
So where can you find someone truly wise, truly educated, truly intelligent in this day and age?
Hasn't God exposed it all as pretentious nonsense?
Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb—preaching, of all things!—to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation.
anyway i think my job here is done, the grace of God has been preached and explained thouroughly. God bless yall and thanks for letting me be a part of your forum and website.
anyway i think my job here is done, the grace of God has been preached and explained thouroughly.
...if you cant understand the simple fact of Gods grace....
the only thing you can do is Believe.
this why the word gospel in greek means the too good too be true news
Run, Forrest, run!

Changing temperatures, dust, salt, and moisture considerably impact the electronics of marine equipment. Rain or splashing sea water, for example, can cool down an electronic enclosure dramatically, causing a vacuum of 200 mbar (3 psi) or more inside the enclosure. If the pressure is not equalized, air and moisture are drawn through the seal into the enclosure where the moisture condenses on the cooler inner walls. This can considerably impair performance. VarTech's protective pressure equalization venting system is a barrier against this type of contamination. The vent is waterproof and dustproof to IP69K standards (more details).

What do you read, when you're on the plane or waiting for a backup to finish or whatever the else you do? I mean, besides "The Camel Book?" Stuff that really gets you thinking, either about the business we are in, or the businesses we work for?
May I suggest a few, to start?
The Long Tail, by Chis Anderson (http://www.amazon.com/Long-Tail-Future-Business-Selling/dp/B001Q9E9F6). The tag line of this book is "Why the future of business is selling less of more." Extending this idea, say, to websites, this might explain why, even though there are bigger and bigger "brand-name" sites, there are also more sites out there than ever before. I'm starting on my third re-reading of this one ...
Managing the Mechanism, by Vince North (http://www.amazon.com/Managing-Mechanism-Software-Successfully-ebook/dp/B00ANYTJZA), an interesting apparently Kindle-only take that basically says that the reason why software is so hard to manage, is that software's so different. Pleasantly little methodology-bashing. He takes the position that software is a mechanism, always doing whatever it does under its own pre-programmed direction, and that most software projects fail due to project management approaches which do not take the implications of this into account. (A thought-provoking idea ...)
How to Build Your Own Website for Free, by Charlie Morelli (http://www.amazon.com/Build-Your-Mobile-Site-Less/dp/1479262781). Okay, so I like "Kindle freebies," but lately I have gathered quite a few books that make this point in various ways, – and frankly, they all are beginning to scare me a little. I mean, you really can do a lot of the stuff that businesses actually want, including mobile-app stuff, for free now. Even though there will always be a demand for heavy-hitting back-end coding, like we are all used to doing, I perceive a sharp reduction in the notion that a web-site and the programming that used to go into it is still worth tens of thousands of dollars. I openly fear that there is developing in our business an over-supply of workers that coincides with a sharp reduction(!) in demand.
Anyway, there's three. Any good ones from you that you think we programmer-types all should be reading on these cold winter nights? What do you think of what they said?

PM lays foundation stone of Punjab cancer hospital
Chandigarh – Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Monday laid the foundation stone of a Rs.450-crore cancer hospital in Mullanpur of Mohali district in Punjab, 20 km from here, that will be run on the lines of Mumbai's Tata Memorial Hospital.
The hospital will cater to 10,000 new cancer cases and provide treatment to 40,000 old cases annually, the prime minister said after laying the foundation stone of the Homi Bhabha Cancer Hospital and Research Centre.
"The hospital will be ready within four years and will provide advanced treatment to cancer patients. Cancer cases are on the rise in Punjab and the state needed the hospital," Manmohan Singh said in his address.
Thanking the prime minister for taking personal interest in sanctioning the project, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal said a specialised hospital was required in view of the increase in number of cancer patients in Punjab over recent years.
The cancer hospital and research centre will be established and developed by the Bhaba Atomic Research Centre on the lines of the Tata Memorial Hospital.
Punjab has seen an increase in cancer cases, especially in the Malwa belt of southwest Punjab in recent years, with agricultural and environmental experts linking it to excessive use of pesticides and insecticides in farming.
The worst affected districts are Bathinda, Mansa, Muktsar and Sangrur.
The Punjab government gave 50 acres of prime land free of cost for the hospital.

Puppy Linux Version for Data Retrieval
Subject description: Version and tutorial to retrieve data from unbootable system
Greetings -
I have an Acer Aspire 3680/2682 Laptop (2 yrs. old), running Windows XP Pro, which, at the moment, is unbootable. I would like to retrieve all data from the laptop, using a Puppy CD, and copy to a USB Stick.
What is the right version of Puppy Linux for me? There are so many choices. Also, is there a specific tutorial, which explains what to do once I have the CD in the laptop?
I have spent so much time looking on Google and using the Search mode here, but I just can't seem to come up with the correct wording that answers my questons.
Thank you for any help you provide.

I would recommend the latest release, although I guess all the releases of the last few years would do it.
As long as the HD on the laptop is readable, just boot with a LiveCD then copy your files to a USB drive. Puppy can mount and read the XP Pro NTFS drive just fine.
I guess the reason there's no tutorial is because it's pretty much a no-brainer.
Good luck, and post back if you're having troubles. If the laptop HD is damaged you results may be less than ideal.

7 page rescue how to doc... in a zip file.
Puppy 4.3.1 should be a no brainer.
Make sure you unmount drives when finished.
Burn the cd no more than 32 speed.
Absolutely make sure you got all the data.
Hirens can be helpful.
downloads as a rar file.
Select a version: Details...
Now at V10.1
Also within Hirens in the mini XP it has ERD Commander.
You may be able to go back a System Restore and boot.
It may even be that your drive is full,
needs a cleanout...leaving enough space to boot.
Seen that happen.
Hirens has CCleaner in the browse tools in Mini XP.
Use it.
Also SuperAntispyware works in it.
Run the network first.
You can run Teamviewer in Hirens...tested that today.
Select >>> Run ..... Not >>>>Install.
And reply back heh?
Also I thought of this.
Dr Freeware Boot cd.
Newest version is twitchy booting on some computers.
But worth a try.

Post subject: Puppy Linux Version for Data Retrieval
I found the latest version at this site:
I am getting close to using the Burn CDCC for Rescue CD.
I have three sets of questions:
1) On the BurnCDCC, the lowest is "4x" - I'm hoping this is within the 32 speed range you suggested.
2) Concerning the saving to a file ("pup_save.2fs"), I boot from the CD, then I exit and shut down the laptop, insert my USB Drive, reboot from CD again and then it asks me where I want to save the file? Is this correct?
3) How do I unmount (umount) drives? I'm assuming I do this after saving all data to the file? Is there a specific command I type? Does it give me this option after completing download of all files?
I know this is all so fundamental, but for me, I have to have "all my ducks in a row"
I start the process.
Thanks for your help.

2)You dont have to use a pup_save file. Just boot into Puppy (set the BIOS to boot from the CD drive) and then you can mount the drives from the Desktop by clicking on their icons. Plug in your USB stick, mount it and the windows drive, and you should be able to drag and drop your data files to the USB stick from your XP drive.
3)All the drives on your computer should show up on your Desktop. Click on them to mount/unmount them. Always unmount the USB stick before removing it.

Thank you for the very helpful information. I now have a handle on the Puppy Linux CD, the drag and drop and understand about the mount/unmount procedure, as well.
I decided to do the Avira Anti-Virus Rescue CD first, before I do the transfer. It's a good thing I did because I found the following:
(4 alerts)
(low threat?)
(low threat?)
All say "Not Removable".
Do you have any suggestions for actually being able to get rid of the Vundo.Gen virus? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Vundo.Gen seems to be a nasty Trojan virus. You'll have to Google for a solution I think. This is probably not the forum for advice about removing Windows viruses.

Remember that features of operations with broken (unbootable) filesystem depends
on many things. If target filesystem has broken bootsector, mounting will be failed.
Also if it has broken FAT(FAT) or MFT(NTFS) with correct bootsector, it can be
mounted but copying files from this filesystem may be incomplete or impossible.

Greetings -
I was able to retrieve files with Puppy Linux - documents - download exe files and pics. The rest I left. I deleted both my partitions, made one big C Drive, and did a clean install. I then downloaded and installed drivers, an anti-virus and the Malware bytes program, updated everything and the laptop works better than it ever has (it's running on 80 gb, instead of 17).
Thank you all for helping me and for introducing me to the world of Puppy Linux.
Best regards -

The Department of Criminal Justice provides undergraduates with a core of courses central to the discipline of criminal justice. Students are also exposed to specialized courses as preparation for careers in law enforcement, corrections and criminology. The department serves nearly 500 majors and a large number of students who enroll in criminal justice courses for elective credit.
The Department has an internship program which provides students with an opportunity to observe professionals in their fields and with practical job experience. Students may continue course work at the graduate level by pursuing the Master of Science in Criminal Justice degree.
The Department is recognized for its participation in national and regional meetings and its scholarly activity, and our students are notable for their academic distinction and dedication. Read more about Kelsey Gore and John Unterreiner, two Criminal Justice majors nominated by faculty to participate in CSIS, a Senior Seminar that includes a semester-long research project and a trip to the Center of Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C.
Sociology is the scientific and systematized study of mankind considered as social beings, living in organized communities; the study of human society; social science.
Sociology is the scientific study of social organization. It studies groups of all sizes, from individual families to entire societies. An understanding of self, others, and history requires knowledge of the social environment.
There are two aspects of the sociological perspective: looking "beyond" the individual to the structure and dynamics of human groups rather than the nature of the individuals within these groups, and looking at the individual and society as they are interrelated. Sociology studies people, or more pecisely, their interactions within a social setting.
The discipline's ultimate aim is to develop a refined body of knowledge that can explain, and in some cases predict, social phenomena.

How to buy a woodland
We make it easy to buy a wood from us. It is surprisingly straightforward to buy woodland. In contrast to buying a residential property there are no chains, no furniture, no leases and usually no legal charges to register or release! We also put a covenant in place with you to make sure that the interests of all owners are protected.
When you are settled on a wood to buy, we help to make the sale go smoothly. Your local manager is important in this process because they can answer questions and clarify the points of detail, or help with the different stages of the purchase.
A few top level points to remember:
- we do not accept offers below the asking price on a woodland as we have set prices which we think are fair. This makes the buying process very straightforward ;
- once you decide you want it we don't accept any other offers. As soon as we have your legal details we remove the woodland from the website and consider it sold – no gazumping is allowed!
- our woodlands are generally freehold
- when we have agreed the purchase, you will need a lawyer (solicitor or licensed conveyancer). We can recommend lawyers who are efficient and reasonably priced.
- and we offer a step-by-step guide to the legal process.

David McCourt, father and husband of 9/11 victims, dies
David McCourt, whose wife, Ruth, and their 4-year-old daughter Juliana were aboard one of the United Airlines flights that were downed by terrorists on Sept. 11, 2001, died Thursday.
McCourt, formerly of New London, died at Connecticut Hospice in Branford, from metastatic melanoma.
Ruth and Juliana were aboard Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles to meet Ruth's best friend Paige Farley Hackel on Sept. 11. There, the two women were going to surprise Julianna with a trip to Disneyland. The McCourts' plane struck the south tower of the World Trade Center while Hackel's plane hit the north tower. Ruth McCourt's brother was in the north tower but managed to escape.
After the terrorist attacks, David McCourt, who worked in his family business ABCO Welding Supply before retiring to Florida in 2011, began to speak publicly about tolerance, the meaning of life and other topics.
In a talk he gave at Temple Emanu-El in Waterford in 2002, McCourt said that his wife and daughter died because some countries teach their children to hate.
"What we have do is to start with the children in this country and teach them tolerance, compassion and understanding," he said.
McCourt helped found B.R.A.V.E. Juliana, a program of HELP USA, to teach nonviolence and conflict resolution to children.
He also appeared on network television shows and with alternative medicine guru and best-selling authority Deepak Choprah.
"Needless to say I was devastated. It's been a journey of spiritual awakening to go from where I was. If you don't have the spiritual awakening, you don't survive," McCourt said in 2002.
In a 2004 interview after the federal 911 Commission released its report, McCourt said, "Juliana and Ruth were goodness, purity and innocence. The evil that befell them an hour after entering the plane represents the eternal juxtaposition of those two immutable forces: living in God's light versus committing evil acts against human souls."
David and his current wife, Mary Bryant McCourt, who he married in 2011, founded the Juliana Valentine McCourt Children's Education Fund. The McCourt Memorial Garden was also created at the Lyman Allen Museum.
Beside his wife, he leaves twin sons, Tavis and Stephen McCourt; two daughters, Elizabeth Smith and Kathy Paine; nine grandchildren; and his sister, Mary (McCourt) Sheffield.

James Dillard takes the call from a factory manager in rural Mississippi. The manager, who oversees production of parts used in household furniture, tells Dillard, "I have an entire third shift who doesn't know if they're working tonight. We have 300 people waiting on you." The plant's computerized welder has stopped working, and the manager needs a new circuit board to continue production. Dillard, vice president of manufacturing and engineering for the T.J. Snow Company in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offers to deliver the needed part in the company's Beechcraft Bonanza.
When he lands at the small public airport several hours later, just a few miles from the plant, Dillard sees a plume of dust pushing a pickup truck in the distance. Minutes later the plant manager stops the truck on the ramp and says, "You flew here in that? I didn't even know this airport was here...and I live here!"
"You get to be a hero," Dillard says. "Our airplane allows us to save the day for a lot of people, and that's a great feeling."
The T.J. Snow Company Inc. is a 68-employee welding supply and
service company with a big reputation. Of all the tools the company uses to sell and repair industrial resistance
welders, its airplane is the most prized. The workhorse is a 1987 Bonanza A36, which Snow owns and operates for service calls, preengineering meetings, and on-location training.
When the Mississippi plant manager called T.J. Snow to ask if the company had a certain circuit board in stock, Dillard confirmed it did and offered to ship the part overnight. That wasn't going to work; the manager needed that circuit board immediately. Flying the Bonanza to hand-deliver the board gave Dillard—and the T.J. Snow Company—a chance to create a new loyal customer.
Started April 1, 1963, by Jim Snow, the firm specializes in designing and building custom resistance welders used by companies that produce parts for a variety of industries. For example, a company may be contracted to build exhaust pieces to certain specifications for an automobile manufacturer. The company will hire T.J. Snow to engineer and build a welder that will weld those exhaust parts. In fact, the automotive industry accounts for 60 percent of T.J. Snow's business.
Jim Snow always loved aviation. At a young age he accumulated enough flight time to solo a Piper J–3 Cub, but he never could hope to complete his training because of an eye injury he suffered as a boy. However, he passed that love of flying along to his son, Tom, the company's current CEO.
Tom remembers his father taking the family to the airport on Sunday afternoons to watch the airplanes. The younger Snow attributes his own passion for aviation to those afternoons. Tom received his private pilot certificate in 1981 and proudly notes that one of his favorite instructors was Peggy Chabrian, the founder and president of Women in Aviation International.
In 1984, Tom approached his father about purchasing an airplane for company use. Despite his passion for aviation, Jim was determined to keep his company financially sound and didn't believe an airplane fit that plan. But he gave his son a chance to prove that an airplane had a place in the company, and that year they purchased a Cessna Cardinal. The Cardinal proved so successful it began a series of 13 airplanes owned and operated by the company over the next 26 years. Snow has owned Mooneys, a Piper Twin Comanche, a Cessna Skylane, a Beech Baron, a Piper Seneca, and several others.
David Hetzler, president and chief operating officer of T.J. Snow Co., also needed a little convincing. "Never in my life did I ever expect to say to anyone that an airplane for a business like ours was a good idea. Well, they proved it was," said Hetzler.
"The use of the airplane has enhanced our status with our customers," says Dillard. He primarily flies the Bonanza, N59PJ, to customers' facilities to meet with them for preengineering discussions. "Meeting with them in person gives them a real boost in confidence that we are able to meet their needs," he says. "It brings us closer to our customers."
But Randy Darby sees more flying action than any other T.J. Snow employee. As the lead service technician, Darby logs nearly 20 hours a month traveling to production plants to repair welding equipment.
Darby joined T.J. Snow Co. as a service technician in 1996 repairing circuit boards, a skill he learned as an avionics technician working on Harrier jets in the U.S. Marine Corps. During his first year at T.J. Snow, he spent long, grueling hours in his car driving to client locations to repair welders. He had always wanted to fly, but the goal was financially out of reach until T.J. Snow offered to lend him the funds needed to acquire his private pilot certificate. He quickly moved on to complete his instrument rating, a privilege he uses on every flight.
Darby now wears many hats for the company: service technician, pilot, seminar host, trainer, and educator for client expectations. He will first attempt to troubleshoot and walk a client through a repair over the phone. If a service call is needed, he offers to fly to their location for the job. But at times he is met with "a knee-jerk reaction from a client who is not willing to pay for him to 'fly up in their expensive toy,'" he says. It is up to Darby to offer the client the option of flying commercially or in the Bonanza. He patiently calculates the cost of additional downtime for the customer that will result from scheduling a commercial flight, noting that it takes time to get to the airport, wading through the security line—and likely a layover, since Chattanooga has limited commercial service. He compares that with the cost of flying the Bonanza to an airport, usually closer to the job site—and more often than not, the client sees the value in T.J. Snow's mobility.
When a company faces losing $50,000 or more per day in lost production time and penalties because of a broken welder—not that uncommon, according to Dillard—the cost savings in time alone is worth flying the Bonanza.
More savings are recognized if the company has to change commercial airline reservations suddenly because of another emergency service call. It is not uncommon for Darby to finish one job and prepare to come home, only to be called and rerouted to a different location. In a matter of a few hours after receiving a call, Darby can be on location at a production plant repairing its equipment, then fly home and prepare to set out for a new location the next day. "It's a time machine," Darby insists.
Darby does admit that sometimes it is more economical to fly commercially. For this reason, T.J. Snow has a technician dedicated to finding the most cost-effective solution for a client. The company maintains an extensive spreadsheet that determines whether the Bonanza or a commercial flight is the best solution for the customer. It bills usage of the Bonanza at $244 per hour, so the company is not realizing direct revenue from its use. It is strictly a tool in the company's kit to provide the best service possible.
To help defray some of the costs of airplane ownership, such as hangar fees and maintenance, T.J. Snow brought in a partner. David Noonan, a retired physician and ATP-rated pilot, owns a 25-percent share of N59PJ. He acts very much as the Bonanza's caretaker as well as a flying mentor to Darby and Dillard. Noonan downloads the engine analysis logs monthly from the J.P. Instruments EDM-830 engine analyzer and scrutinizes the results. And he doesn't hesitate to say something if he notices an anomaly. This attention to detail, and determination to ensure N59PJ is always at the top of its game, gives Darby and Dillard a high degree of confidence every time they crank the engine. They run the engine lean of peak and have no qualms about it. They have the proper monitoring tools in place to do so, and proudly announce that cylinder compression is still as high as when the engine last came out of overhaul.
In the panel rests a Garmin GNS 530W navigation system with XM weather, and Darby carries a WAAS-enabled Garmin GPSMAP 496 for added safety. The known-ice-approved TKS deicing system, along with a Stormscope, allow an extra margin of safety when it comes to inclement weather. Even with today's technology, however, there is no reason to get into trouble, Darby is quick to point out. And ultimately he retains the right to cancel any flight for any reason with no questions asked by Tom or any other T.J. Snow executive. They respect his decision-making skills as pilot in command.
Darby, Dillard, and Tom Snow all know how essential this airplane is to the health of the company. They harbor no doubt as to the competitive advantage it gives them. But they are quick to point out that it is not about them. Ultimately, it's their customers who benefit most from general aviation.
"We want our customers to be successful. Period," Dillard says. No one in the company doubts that N59PJ plays an important role to that end. And that little production plant in rural Mississippi certainly knows that now.
Bob Knill is an aviation education program developer for the AOPA Air Safety Institute. He is an instrument-rated private pilot.

Shoppers once again descended on local malls and shopping plazas Wednesday, this time in search of post-Christmas holiday deals.
Shoppers once again descended on local malls and shopping plazas Wednesday, this time in search of post-Christmas holiday deals.
"People are always in here to power-shop the day after Christmas," said Kimberly Steadman, a store leader at JCPenney in the Dartmouth Mall. "Everyone knows it's a day of great bargains."
Steadman said the store puts all winter clothing items on clearance the day after Christmas and that "it's a big traffic driver."
While Wednesday started off quiet, the pace quickly livened up with customers eager to use gift cards, she said.
"For some reason, people like to use those up right away," she said.
The store also generally sees a lot of returns the day after Christmas, but Steadman said there were no more returns this year than in past years.
At Wal-Mart in Dartmouth, doors opened at 5 a.m. Wednesday in anticipation of the crowds.
Store manager Jen Martin said customer traffic was high but that sales were low because of the number of exchanges and gift cards being used.
"A lot of times we have clothing being swapped for sizes if a relative didn't realize how much a child grew," Martin said.
She added the store has discounts on all of its items that have holiday motifs, and also some non-Christmas related toys that are brought in for the holiday season but that the store does not usually carry year-round.
"Everything is 50 percent off," she said.
At L.L. Bean in Wareham, store manager Denise Tetreault said the brand's specialty winter boots were popular this year.
"A lot of people who come in today mainly are exchanging sizes for those," she said. "Also they are getting some wool socks to go with (them)."
For their part, shoppers were excited about the savings post-Christmas shopping can offer.
Jean Guzman, of New Bedford, said she came to the Dartmouth Mall in hope of finding deals on gifts for her son's late-December birthday.
"I'm pretty psyched," she said. "I just got six shirts for $15 at Old Navy. That's why I always come here the day after Christmas; you have to take advantage of the deals."
Sarah Ricci said she came to the mall to return some items and to "buy everything I didn't get that I wanted."
In particular, she was on the hunt for "regular black socks," in the hopes that the item might be on sale after Christmas.
While some shoppers came for the bargains, many going to the Dartmouth Mall for returns were hoping to make it a quick visit.
"It's a little overwhelming in there," said Amanda DuPont of Wareham as she was leaving the mall Wednesday. "I came to return one thing and thought I might shop around but I'm leaving because it's too crowded."
Zachary Morad, who now lives in New York but was home in New Bedford for the holidays, said he came to the mall to get a link taken out of a watch he had received.
"I'm bracing myself before I go in," he said. "It's a little much going to the mall the day after Christmas."

Decorations and planning are well underway for the 9th Annual Living Windows event. The event starts at 5:30 on Thursday evening (Dec. 5), and lasts until 7:30 p.m.
Susan Hall, owner of Kid's Caboose, was hard at work this week, decorating a store front on Reed St. The storage facility owned by Philip Chirillo, owner of Best TV, is decorated with a welcome home scene for a returning solider, just in time for the holidays. Hall set the stage throughout the three storefront windows.
The first window shows a solider standing outside the front door. Inside, grandmother, grandfather, wife, and child are sitting down for a holiday meal. The last window shows a sick child lying in bed. All the family is awaiting their solider to return home.
The cutouts were put together by several local artists. Ray Craighead, local artist, created the drawings of the family, and Jenn Schulte, Art Department, created the cutouts, printing them on coroplast. The scene and artwork are available to view on Reed St., and will be lit up in all of its glory on Thursday night.
In addition to the displays available Thursday night, horse-drawn carriage rides will also be available.
Janet's Dance Studio will have students performing at their studio on 529 W. Coates St. Merrill University will be hosting Santa, for the kiddos to visit.
Lisa Finnell, executive director of Main Street Moberly, said "Downtown merchants invite everyone to this family fun event. Stroll down Reed Street and be entertained as our windows come alive with holiday scenes. There will be carolers, bands, choirs, Christmas scenes, and dancers to put you in the holiday mood. Be sure to pick up some delicious cookies at the cookie fest, sponsored by the Women's Community Support Council."

LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian: New Year's Eve Swimming!
LeAnn Rimes gets pulled out of the water by her shirtless hubby Eddie Cibrian after taking a swim on New Year's Eve (December 31) in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The 30-year-old singer, who wore a bikini with fringe, went for a ride on a wave runner with the 39-year-old actor during the afternoon.
"Cold and raining in Mexico…. Still having a good time!!!" LeAnn tweeted the day before. Looks like the weather cleared up the next day!
FYI: LeAnn is wearing an Acacia Swimwear bikini.

It is early Monday morning, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. But Don Buford is not standing on a stage and talking about having a dream.
That's not his style. Besides, he has already lived one himself, the kind Dr. King preached about.
Buford has a new job, which is to enhance dreams for others. Few could be better suited.
The former major league baseball star will turn 76 on Feb. 2. He lives in Sherman Oaks and was happily retired to a life of four rounds of golf a week. The family was raised, he had done his work, his stature as a major league player for the White Sox and the Orioles over 10 seasons was established. Life was summertime, and the living was easy.
His was a story of success and good fortune, at a time when minority athletes swam upstream a lot.
He played high school football at Dorsey, a running back weighing 150 pounds, "soaking wet," he says.
He also played infield on Dorsey's baseball team, although the term "infield" was questionable.
"Just dirt," Buford says.
He wrote lots of letters to big schools, even visited UCLA and a few others, but was turned down. This was 1957, 10 years after Jackie Robinson had broken the major leagues' color barrier. Walls remained up.

This is a topic near and dear to me and my business of teaching firearm safety and concealed carry classes in North Carolina. Evil is coming, but we are no more prepared for evil�s next appearance than we were at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Aurora or the Navy Yard � all are federally or privately designated so-called gun-free zones.
To the editor:
This is a topic near and dear to me and my business of teaching firearm safety and concealed carry classes in North Carolina. Evil is coming, but we are no more prepared for evil�s next appearance than we were at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Aurora or the Navy Yard � all are federally or privately designated so-called gun-free zones.
From my perspective, the only reason we are not and will not be prepared for the next appearance of evil is because the mass murder of innocents in school shootings generates outrage over the sheer senselessness of it. For the past 30-odd years, mass shootings have been the emotional heart strings at which the progressive, fascist and communist left have plucked in their campaign to disarm the nation for the sole purpose of ruling it.
In other words, from the left�s perspective, if we allow the slaughter to continue unchecked, sooner or later an incensed and outraged America will rise up and demand we abolish the Second Amendment and disarm the nation � by executive order if necessary, If that doesn�t work, it will be done by force. I honestly believe that is exactly why we continue to suffer these senseless, savage mass shootings in our schools, universities and everywhere else there is no provision for an immediate, armed response to this evil.
The singular and most affordable security solution to the problem of mass shootings in our schools, or anywhere else for that matter, is the lawfully armed citizen � open carry laws and concealed carry permit holders. Teachers, staff, and volunteers � in the persons of mothers, fathers and members of the community who would gladly volunteer their time to undergo the necessary training to enable them to assist in the armed protection of our children in schools and on campuses across the nation � if only they were given the opportunity to do so.
The NRA�s Basic Pistol, Personal Protection Inside the Home, and Personal Protection Outside the Home programs are excellent courses toward the mastery and safe handling of firearms. Every teacher, instructor, staff member or community volunteer who possesses a concealed carry permit could be trained in the both safety of his or her firearm as well as the tactical applications as would apply to active shooter scenarios.
Years prior to his demise, Osama Bin Laden promised us 2 million dead children as retribution for our perceived transgressions against Islam. My question is this: How are you going to respond to the news one morning that authorities, across the United States, are finding school buses on the sides of the roads full of dead children? I will bet a dollar to doughnuts the first reaction out of Washington, D.C., would be yet another calculated overly-emotional reaction designed to incense and outrage for the sole purpose of disarming America. Such lamentations will not be for the sake of our children; it will be solely for political advantage.
Like Sen. Dianne Feinstein said, �If I had the votes I tell �em turn �em all in!� Yet, law-abiding American gun-owners have not ever had anything to do with any mass shootings. Still, they continually come for our guns. I believe from the left�s point-of-view, the end will always justify the means.
I firmly believe our failure to secure our schools is an ongoing and intentional travesty undertaken with the objective in mind to disarm the nation.
After all the carnage over the past 30-years, we still fail to get the message: Gun-free zones are killing fields � and that�s my point. The government declares our schools gun-free zones, yet the government never seems to be on the spot when evil walks in and starts killing our kids.
Why do we continue to believe that the government has the safety of our children in mind? The government cannot protect us from criminal savagery any more than they can build a website.
By government decree, every school in the nation is a potential shooting gallery � a killing field. The failure to secure our schools and protect the lives of the innocent as opposed to its incessant attempts to disarm law-abiding Americans, is a calculated, political, campaign against every responsible, law-abiding American. At least is it something to think about.

Storm (SE - DVD R2)
Gabe Powers is handed a little silver box, but no one will tell him what's in it...
This review is sponsored by
DD (Eric Ericson) is a loner that coasts through his easy going life. He's not the nicest guy you'll ever meet, but he probably won't punch you in the face either. Lova (Eva Röse) is some kind of superhero, and has fought her way through Hell and back to get her hands on a mysterious silver box. When Helena meets DD his life is thrown into chaos, and it seems he may have the key to opening the box within him. Pursued by mysterious warriors, DD must make some hard choices.
Intelligent Sci-Fi thrillers are hard. Messing with reality on film is even harder. Storm is a film that succeeds simply on this ambition. Its grasp exceeds its reach constantly, but as a film lover you may find yourself rooting for it. The problem with reviewing the film is that in weighing its pros and cons, while contextualizing it and comparing it to other features, I stand to give away some of what is best left a blindly viewed plot. I'll do my best not to spoil it for everyone.
Storm belongs in the same sub-genre of modest head-trip thrillers like David Cronenberg's eXistenZ, and Alejandro Amenábar's Abre Los Ojos (remade as Vanilla Sky by Cameron Crowe), both quality films that fall apart when they try to answer too many questions. There's a little Donnie Darko here as well, and like Donnie Darko, Storm has a problem of taking itself a little too seriously. Off the top of my head, the only alternate reality 'Sci-Fi' films I can think of that managed to be successful even in explaining themselves are Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Wes Craven's original Nightmare on Elm Street. The Matrix sort of counts, but the reality vs. dream world/virtual reality aspect is really solved after the first act.
Storm starts out very strong, in introducing its two main characters it stands as some kind of Trainspotting/ American Psycho meets Matrix oddity. DD is amusingly established as a loveable ass, and Helena as a Trinity-esque ass kicker. By the end of the first of three acts the film loses itself a bit in pseudo-psychological darkness, as DD is forced to deal with a past he has forgotten. It was at this point that I abandoned hope for the film I wanted to see and let the filmmakers take me where they wanted to.
At the start of the third act there is something of a twist, and I my hopes were once again raised, but this turn is too abrupt. The film may've worked better if it was longer, or perhaps if it was even more of a 'to be continued' then it already is. Thankfully, the film doesn't over explain itself, but it also abandons a few of its more interesting aspects along the way. The whole thing wraps up far too fast, and the answers the filmmakers are willing to give up are a little too simple for my taste. I have a horrible feeling that this was all just a simple morality play.
The look of Storm is fairly extreme, yet the action scenes manage to be different, visually and emotionally. They aren't as spectacular as those of Matrix, or other martial arts inspired fight flicks, but are based in some sort of reality. This is special because this isn't a story about fighting spectacularly, and most of the big action scenes are actually cut short in favour of plot development. There are signs of other films, but the directors manage to create a look that belongs entirely to this one.
The film was apparently very popular in its native country, which will hopefully lead to some sequels. There are two directions a sequel could take the way I see it—either DD has more adventures in him, or he's entirely incidental and Lova will move on to another 'subject'. The film is flawed, but so was Night Watch, and that film was made better by its sequel Day Watch. If Storm 2 ( Stormier, Storm with a Vengeance?) could expand successfully upon the ideas of it's predecessor, Storm could likely become a better film in comparison. If this is the end of the story, then I'm afraid all we've got is a very well made curiosity.
At times this disc has one of the finest video transfers I've ever seen. Detail is impeccably sharp and the images are very realistic. During these high points I couldn't even find any blocking or compression noise in during fast motion and darkness. Later on, and throughout the feature, the detail levels falter, and problems arise in the form of blocky blotches. Red seems to be the offending colour, and a middle film scene in a dance club is easily the most problematic in the entire film. Warm colours in general don't fair as well as muted and cool colours. Overall though, I'm very impressed.
Here's another one of those rare DVDs where the difference between the DTS and Dolby Digital tracks is actually measurable. The Dolby track is nice, but the DTS track is very aggressive, not to mention loud. There's a nice play of silence and fury here, and though the jumps in musical score are a bit on the cheesy side, but they sound great. The track is bassy without warbling or buzzing, and even at high volumes separate tracks are discernable. It's not quite reference level, but this is due to the content of the film and its needs, not the track's overall quality.
The only extra on this single disc version is a director's commentary, which is unfortunately in Swedish only.
Though not exactly a classic, or even a genre affirming success, Storm is an intriguing mix of hipster comedy, comic book adaptation, reality bending Sci-Fi, and psychological horror. It leaves a lot of questions unanswered, but perhaps that's where the film's true value lies. It's not going to change your life, but fans of the Matrix and Night Watch series, along with reality bending thrillers like Donnie Darko and Abre Los Ojos may get a kick out of the film's lofty ambitions.

Review by Gabriel Powers
This turned out to be something completely else from what the trailers were selling, which was highly disappointing. However, it is a very good movie in it's own weird way. A total mix of genres and some pretty cool scenes. I have the Limited Edition 2-Disc steelbook release, which has a bunch of really interesting deleted scenes, an hour long documentary plus the directors cult favorite short "Disco Kung Fu", storyboard comparisons and trailers. Most swedish films are released with english subtitles these days and so is this. It's a shame the commentary isn't subtitled as Gabe says.

Um, is it just me, but does that guy (especially in the picture on the banner) look alot like a young John Malkovich?
I think the screen caps are misleading, he's a lot more like Stephen Doriff.
Btw; the main characters of this film is DD and Lova (Eva Röse). The character of Helena is in the movie for just a few minutes.
Ah s**t. I'm awful with names and they didn't say it very many times so I made a guess. It's fixed now, thanks for noticing that.

2 disc steelbook version... where? (Xploited is sold out of the regular edition already)
Hmmm. I guess I'm not sure. I'm sorry they sold out fast...anyone? Disciple, did you just get yours in a normal store then?
i guess i have the advantage of living in Sweden, I bought it from a site that doesn't ship outside of scandinavia. Sorry

Rosa DeLauro, behind the flamboyance
WASHINGTON -- There are 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, but there's only one Rosa DeLauro, New Haven's Technicolor congresswoman.
DeLauro's public persona is unique.
Her political philosophy: Smashmouth liberal.
Rhetoric: White-hot, rapid.
Apparel: A kaleidoscope of color in an ocean of dark suits. Her short skirts, scarves and flowing jewelry inspire such descriptions as "hipster" and "fashionista."
Hair: Multi-hued, like a 1960s tie-dyed T-shirt.
Rings: Flashing on four fingers, including a head-buster on her pointer finger, which is in constant use.
Jaw: In full jut.
But push past DeLauro's splashy profile and you'll find an influential lawmaker who uses her senior seat in Congress to provide national leadership on issues dear to her heart: Food safety, abortion rights, health care.
DeLauro, 70, is Connecticut's senior House member. She won her 12th term by collecting 75 percent of the vote -- the largest victory margin among the state's five incumbent Democratic U.S. representatives, even though her campaign treasury was the smallest.
Her 22-year career has made her 24th in House seniority, an exalted perch in a body where seniority unlocks the doors to power. Her closest friends in the chamber are, like her, veteran women members who won their first House elections at a time when there were far fewer women representatives. They include Reps. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., and Anna Eshoo, D-Calif. There were 29 women in the House when DeLauro took the oath of office in 1991; now there are 78.
Pelosi, asked to assess her friend and colleague's legislative career, said, "There is no greater champion for America's women and families" than DeLauro. "It is a true privilege to count Rosa among my closest friends and dearest colleagues. I am awed and inspired every day by her passion, her spirit, her dedication and determination to fight for our values."
DeLauro's seniority has brought her clout on the House Appropriations Committee, the most sought-after real estate in the House because it has the power of the purse and decides how much tax money to spend and where to spend it. When the Democrats last held the majority (2007-11), DeLauro's seniority made her the chair of one of the 12 appropriations subcommittees, a post so esteemed that the dozen chairs are referred to as the "cardinals." She also is a co-chair of the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, a panel that helps the party leader in the House -- her close friend Pelosi -- determine committee assignments for other Democratic House members. This gives DeLauro huge influence within the 201-member Democratic caucus. (There are 234 Republican House members.) Because House members usually only have two committee assignments, the well-named steering committee can define a House member's legislative career.
Her clout is enhanced by the fact that she's married to Stan Greenberg, the respected political consultant and pollster who was close to the White House during the Clinton administration. Together, they are a leading Beltway power couple (liberal division).
She was one of 12 House Democrats invited last week to have dinner with President Barack Obama as part of his continuing schmooze-fest with congressional leaders.
The House veteran, who wryly terms herself "a survivor of the blood sport of New Haven politics," cuts a national figure in the continuing debates over health care reform, food safety, medical research and abortion rights. Her passion and intensity imbue her debate rhetoric and her one-on-one conversations with her colleagues.
Her pet appropriations interests include the Food and Drug Administration, the Agriculture Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At a recent hearing on the FDA's budget plans, DeLauro made an impassioned pitch to her subcommittee colleagues to approve full funding for the agency.
In 2013, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had a $17 billion budget, but the FDA only had $2.3 billion, she said.
"NASA's budget was 7.3 times larger than the FDA." DeLauro lamented. "We're not talking about hardware, we're talking about life and death at the Food and Drug Administration," she rushed on. "If we are serious, let us provide the FDA with the budget authority commensurate with the job that it does. Put our dollars where our mouth is!"
Turning to a pet theme -- the proposed federal law that would require restaurant chains to post calorie content on food menus -- DeLauro argued that the calorie rule also should apply to movie-theater chains.
She flashed a photo of a food sign above the refreshment counter at a movie theater.
"The movie industry claims it's not in the food industry," DeLauro declared, incredulously. "Look at this: Chicken tenders! Hot dog and fries! Cheese fries! Mozzarella sticks! Funnel cakes! We're not talking about popcorn and soda any longer at movie theaters. Movie theater chains ought to be required to put calories on their menus, just like restaurant chains." The FDA is still studying options on calorie labeling on menus before it issues its final rule.
DeLauro makes many "worst-dressed" lists, a distinction that Scott McLean, a political scientist at Quinnipiac University, says is "part of her appeal." McLean says DeLauro's "flamboyant outfits and bright colors make her different. She's easily recognizable. She's the local homegrown New Haven kid who became a big-time political player. People know her and she works at keeping her roots in the area."
And those landslide electoral results are something any politician would wear with pride.

Evil Dead: Ultimate Edition (US - DVD R1)
Gabe's runnning through the forest making moaning sounds.... again....
Is it Tuesday already? I guess that means it's time to buy the latest Anchor Bay Evil Dead release, doesn't it?
Like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead, Halloween and Phantasm, Evil Dead is a budget classic horror flick that's damn hard to write about. There's more than one book on the shelf at your neighbourhood Borders and Barns and Nobel about the movie, horror 'zines cover the movie almost every year, the film's star has more fan-sites than any other actor on the internet, and DVD reviewers have to write something up every couple weeks when Anchor Bay releases a new disc. There is nothing I have to offer at this table, especially since I love the film. If I was lucky enough to hate Evil Dead I might have something to say. Since no one's going to read this part of my review anyway, I'll take the time to tell my Evil Dead on video story.
Not to say that Evil Dead doesn't deserve its cult status, but its continued popularity on video defiantly stems from the fact that it wasn't easy to find in the beginning. In the greater Tucson area there were probably only three or four copies total, and statistics state that the VHS release was the most commonly stolen tape in the country, so I didn't even see the film until I was in High School. Collecting horror video was hard at the time because only popular and new tapes were put up for sale new, and used stores were regularly scouted by rabid collectors (I should know, I was a vulture myself). I could find Body Melt, I could find Manhattan Baby, I could even find The Mutilator, but Raimi's original experience in gruelling terror eluded me for some time.
The good news was the tape was easy to bootleg satisfactorily because the Thorn EMI release came in a clamshell and the inset was easy to photocopy, unlike full-box videos, which never looked right on the shelve when bootlegged. Of course, by the time I found a rental copy with an undamaged inset, Anchor Bay studios was releasing their own clamshell 'special edition' tape versions of various genre classics and not-so-classics. Their remastered Evil Dead release actually sold out, and I had to special order one.
The Elite Laser Disc release was out of my league because I wasn't able to afford a player, but as the story goes, DVD wasn't far behind. Anchor Bay's initial DVD release came without extras, but there were several different picture disc possibilities, but just before I bought the affordably priced disc Elite released their sought after Laser Disc on the new format. It took some searching, but I found a copy, and expended $30 bucks to buy it. Thanks to a later re-release, that disc is now worthless as a collectable.
Then came Anchor Bay's 'Book of the Dead' release, which had all of the Elite disc's commentaries, plus two featurettes, one directed by Bruce Campbell himself. But the real selling point was the packaging, which was sculpted out of rubber to look like the monstrous Necronomicon by the book's original designer. The gimmick was the perfect hook to whet a collector's appetite. Unfortunately, something about the packaging also thrilled my cat, who ripped it from my shelf and tore it asunder. So much for getting it autographed by Campbell when he came to my local book store to hock his book, 'If Chins Could Kill'.
Here's the part of my review were I tell the hopeful to pack it in, because this is the same transfer as the Book of the Dead release. To prove this, please have a look:
Anchor Bay Ultimate Edition: 1.85:1
Anchor Bay Book of the Dead Edition
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 transfer is about as clean as we should expect from the original source footage. Seriously, blown-up 16mm just can't look immaculate no matter how hard you try to polish it. Thankfully blacks are solid and rich, and the overall print is darker then some older DVD releases, which brightened everything and entirely missed the point of the film. The clarity already ruins too many less then spectacular make-up effects, brightening things just makes it sad. I'm sure Anchor Bay will decide to put this out on Blu-Ray disc sometime next year, which is a little ridiculous, but should clean up some of the prints overall compression issues.
The hard matted widescreen transfer, which was championed and approved by Sam Raimi himself, is a huge bone of contention with purist fans. Though a slightly looser 1.78:1 probably would've been better, I admit I've come to like the tighter display. There are only a few bits of deleted footage on the top and bottom of frame that really make any kind of difference. However, if you disagree with me (which I'm sure many of you do) you'll be happy to know that disc two of this set features the original full frame version of the film, and the transfer matches the widescreen transfer in overall picture quality almost exactly. This is a big plus for the purists because the Elite release was way too bright, as seen below.
Anchor Bay Ultimate Edition: 1.33:1
Elite Special Edition
Dressing up the Evil Dead with a THX certified DTS ES surround sound track is kind of like dressing up a donkey in a pink prom dress with ten diamond tennis bracelets on each limb, but I'll admit it sounds pretty grand. Raimi and crew did put a lot of effort into the film's sound design, including entirely incongruent effects and a rather professional Joe Laducca score, so the remix isn't entirely ridiculous, but it does seem a little overboard considering the revamp probably cost half the film's entire budget.
Anyone owning the previous Anchor Bay releases will recognize every track here (DTS ES, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Surround) was already available.
The biggest moments on the track are the demon force P.O.V.s which will just about blow out the rear speakers if you aren't careful. The directional effects aren't particularly impressive, but stereo movement is effective, and the bass throbs without warbling. Incidental effects and dialogue sound a little canned, and generally lack on the fidelity front. I suppose we can't expect such things to sound brand new without a redub, and redubs are inherently bad, so realistically complaining about such things is a little unrealistic. It's actually refreshing to not have to deal with the artificial feel some surround revamps suffer, but don't expect Evil Dead to sound like Transformers.
Disc numero uno starts with everyone's favourite Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert commentary track, as heard on several other releases. Sam and Rob aren't quite as funny together as they are in the presence of Bruce Campbell, but the track is amusing enough and a good track for budding filmmakers, or at least it was in the pre-digital age. Some of the lessons still stand.
'One By One We Will Take You' is a fine, entertaining and fast paced making of documentary. The doc tells the story in mostly chronological order using various cast and crew interviews and raw behind the scenes footage. After years of hearing about the film through its director, producer and star, it's actually quite refreshing to get a different perspective on the behind the scenes tale.
Obviously missing from the doc's participants are director Sam Raimi and star Bruce Campbell (oh yeah, and Hal Delrich, or what ever his real name is), but their presence isn't really necessary considering the commentary tracks, and their places are filled by directors Eli Roth and Edgar Wright, and schlock movie expert Joe Bob Briggs. Briggs is an especially intelligent commentator, and points out the film's historical and critical relevance, including the fact that Ash is one of the only successful male protagonists in modern horror. Roth and Wright don't just gush, they critically point out what makes the film special, and take us through the film's Video Nasty problems, including Raimi's obscenity charges.
Disc two starts with the same old Bruce Campbell solo commentary, the one that's been skating from DVD to DVD since the Elite release, and it's just as great as it was the first time. Campbell plus Raimi is always the best, but Campbell alone is still pretty great, and his commentary is pleasantly self deprecating. The commentary is followed by almost an hour of raw production footage, about twenty minutes of which was previous seen on the Elite disc, all anamorphically enhanced (?). Most of the footage is just outtake material, but some bits could be honestly considered 'deleted scenes'. You've got to be a huge fan to sit through all fifty some minutes without getting a little bored, but having this stuff in one place is why digital media is great.
Then there's a third disc, which the disc's producers have entitled The Ladies of the Evil Dead for good reason, it mostly pertains to the female cast members and their current whereabouts. The disc is cut into several sections, so we start with 'Life After Death', which is a fifteen-minute glance into the lives of the Evil Dead ladies (Ellen Sandweiss, Betsy Baker, and Theresa Tilly). All three actresses more or less ignored the film for decades, but recently decided it was time to check in on the whole phenomenon, and started touring various horror expos and conventions. The featurette is just about the most adorable thing ever filmed. A day in the life of a suburban housewife who juggles soccer mom and scream queen is a fun viewing, and truthfully I think the material is there for a feature length documentary. Curiously, there's mention of a cast commentary track, which is not on any of the three discs.
'The Ladies of Evil Dead Meet Bruce Campbell' is a sit down interview with Bruce and the girls that affords them the excuse to warmly complain about the Evil Dead experience. I laughed out loud repeatedly while watching it, even though some of the stories were already told on the commentaries and documentaries.
This is followed by 'Unconventional', a sort of 'round table' with all five actors and Ted Raimi, which is even funnier. There's no interviewer here, though Campbell and Raimi, being the two biggest personalities in the room, tend to act as moderators. The groups musings on the convention process and its attendees is a blast, and reminds me of Campbell's short film on the subject Fanalysis, which appeared on the previous 'Book of the Dead' DVD release. The featurette was filmed at the Chicago Flashback Weekend a year I did not attend (bummer).
'At the Drive-In' (the name of a band I opened for when I was in high school) is a twelve-minute Q and A with the cast from that same Flashback Weekend. It isn't the kind of Q and As you might think, the cast actually asked the audience questions about the film and gives them copies of the then latest version of the DVD. Campbell and Raimi the youngest again rule the roost, but the ladies and pseudo-Hal get a few lines in. Man I wish I would've gone in 2005.
The panel Q and A, was filmed the next day, called 'Reunion Panel, is good fun because the actors handle the largely inane fan questions with fervour, piss, vinegar, and bitter sarcasm. The feature drags on a little long at thirty minutes, and there are a lot of repeated elements, but once you start the reunion based extra features you kind of want to finish them off. Campbell and Raimi's duelling Ronald Regan impressions is the best bit.
'Discovering the Evil Dead' is a holdover from the 'Book of the Dead' collection. The little featurette covers the film's British video sales, and the subsequent 'Video Nasties' problem. The story is a fascinating one, and it's interesting that the DVDs producers left most of this stuff out of the first disc's more encompassing documentary. This is followed by some cool effects test, a trailer, TV spots, a stills gallery, a poster gallery, and some other Anchor Bay trailers.
Angry fans will already know that Within the Woods, the original short Raimi, Tapert, Sandweiss and Campbell produced to drum up money for the feature is still missing. Campbell and Sandweiss make it clear that we will never see the short on a DVD release, though most of us have probably caught it in pieces on Youtube anyway.
So do you really need another copy of Evil Dead on your shelf? Do you? Really? This new release is worth a purchase for three kinds of people—those that don't own the film at all, in any for, rabid fans that must own every single copy on the market, and those that really enjoy documentary features. The new extras here are nice, and I might even find myself re-watching them someday down the line, but the commentaries and A/V are nothing new. If you hate the widescreen version, you may want to get this release just for a decent looking full-frame transfer, but don't trash that Book of the Dead edition just yet, as the Bruce Campbell directed Fanalysis makes no appearance here.

I had the hardest time finding this one when I was a kid, too. Every video store had Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, but no one had The Evil Dead. I eventually did find it at a mom-and-pop video store damn near the Canadian border when I was visiting my grandparents, and I felt accomplished watching it. I kind of miss the days when everything wasn't so easily accessible.
Dead Alive needs a release like this knight d wrote: Dead Alive needs a release like this.Definatly. Such a cr*ppy release for a great movie.
I already have Book of the Dead so maybe I will wait a while for the rubber to fall apart and buy the super pen-ultimate 50th day anniversary edition...

Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are both much better films. Even as a fan I freely admit that.
I know it is up there with the 'cult' statis and all, but (and I know some people will think it is sacrilege to say), but I never really cared for this series of films. Bruce is always fun in everything, and AoD was the franchise's highpoint.
Personal pet DVD peeve: A series that has two or more companies who own rights to various sequals, and eiminating the chance of a collected version.

I'd Imagine Anchor Bay doesn't own the rights to AOD anymore...Still won't be buying this tho, I wanted a cleaned up version of within the woods...I have it but its nearly unwatchable!

i know....i have the book of the dead editions of the first 2 and figured this one was coming soon but its been what, 2yrs or so since these books came out and still nothing for Army...hmmmmm
but yeah this sounds like an excellent release for those who dont own it.

Especially since it's only $16.99 at Best Buy this week. For a three-disc set I was sort of sadly resigned to paying like $30, but I can afford to expend less than twenty dollars on this hopefully penultimate double-dip.

Halloween? Enjoyed your review Gabe. I was going to purchase the Book Of The Dead but never got round to it so this is worth picking up.
Do Starz/Anchor Bay actually own the rights to any other films?

My mantra as a new mom to any advice given to me, whether it was liked or otherwise, was "I'll take that under consideration." if I liked the advice, I'd look into it further, if not, I let the idea leak out of my head no longer to be thought about (which was most advice).

With my MIL, it sometimes helps to talk about we are in agreement on, reminding her that I know she clearly raised good kids as i chose her son to be the father of my kids. I guess give a little sugar to her to improve the taste of vinegar you may have in your mouth ;-)

Good luck!
