Infinity Portal
The Infinity Portal is an interactive art project build for Alchemy.
The concept of the project centers on an infinity mirror, which is an optical effect created by placing a two-way mirror in front of a regular mirror. Any light source between the two mirrors appears to be reflected forever because only some of the light escapes the two-way mirror. The rest is reflected back, so the viewer's eyes sample the internal reflections in the mirror.
The idea for this project is to create a large archway that appears to be a freestanding gateway standing on an altar. People walk up to the gate, triggering a proximity sensor. Once the system detects that a user is present, the LED strips inside the infinity mirror are triggered, giving the appearance of a portal having opened in the gate and extending backwards infinitely.
Step 1: Prototyping the concept
The first round of prototyping involved testing the concept, so we built an Infinity Mirror from parts around the shop, a hardware store run, an LED strip, and some mirror tint ordered online.
We posted a write-up of the build on our blog, which was then featured on Hack A Day.
We had some good finds from the initial prototyping, and found that we can change the apparent depth of the tunnel by changing the brightness of the LEDs or spacing the two mirrors farther apart. We can make the tunnel appear to curve around by tilting the mirrors slightly. By using two of the two-way mirrors, we found that we could project into the back of the enclosure to make a projected image repeat indefinitely.
Step 2: Prototyping the design
Next, we built a prototype that Tam sketched as a conceptual rendering of the final model. To do this, we vector-mapped her sketch, processed it in CamBam, exported the gcode to the laser cutter and cut a prototype out of wood.
We used the two prototypes that we had (conceptual and design) at the Alchemy Art Fundraiser and received the highest funding at that event. We've still got some fundraising to do, but it looks like people are really excited about this concept!
Step 3: Planning the Build
The build will probably be divided into a few different processes that we'll work on independently:
- Building the framework to support the reflective acrylic pieces
- Designing and milling the facade for the front of the archway
- Programming the light controllers with rainbow chase patterns and setting up triggers
- Laser engraving the acrylic accent pieces for the archway
- Building the Altar and testing different setups to support the illusion
Step 4: Building the framework
Building the framework took about 5 8-hour work sessions. We used the pallet that the acrylic came in on as a base for the framework.
We ordered the 4x8 sheets of acrylic from Reflection Products in Roswell, Ga. Everything else for the frame was custom-built from the local hardware store.
Step 5: Building the electronics
We built the electronics using a Teensy 3.0 and a buffer chip (to step the 3.3v up to 5v) to push to the LED data line. We used WS2812 LED strips and powered them with a 70a 5v power supply.
The Final Result
The final assembly had a few surprises - because of the way they are manufacturing and hung in the portal, the acrylic sheets have a small warp in them that makes the tunnel look like it opens to a huge room. Pushing on the front of the portal causes the tunnel to warp and change, and both sheets of acrylic are two-way so people can push from both sides to change the effect.

It's Summer time Down-Under right now, pools are open and so are the gates!
Please make sure your gates are closed year around! Also, check to make sure that your neighbor's gates are closed too!
While inspecting, remember that gates should be self-closing and self-latching, or padlocked!
During the Holidays (and during pool season) please protect all of our young innocents… who may wander into your backyard.
Or your neighbors.

Toddler drowns in neighbour's pool
8:19AM Sunday Nov 30, 2008
A grieving mother has told how her 3-year-old daughter's body was found in her neighbour's pool.
Vimbai Machakaire was playing in her West Auckland garden with her brothers and sisters on Thursday when her mother Emily noticed she was missing about 6.30pm.
The family started looking for the toddler but fearing the worst called police about 7.15pm. They didn't think Vimbai had gone next door because she was scared of the dog that lived there. But that's where police found the toddler about 8pm.
"They opened the gate, they went inside," Emily said. "That's when they found her body floating in the swimming pool."
Emily rushed next door and found her daughter on the side of the pool. She held her lifeless body for almost an hour.
Attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
Waitakere City Council has launched an investigation into the death. A source suggested Vimbai might have gained access to the pool area through a faulty gate.

Financial Need Calculation
Most federal financial aid is based on financial need. Using the data collected on the FAFSA, your financial need will be calculated as:
Cost of Attendance
- Expected Family Contribution
Financial Need
Cost of Attendance
Cost of Attendance includes tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation and other personal expenses.
Expected Family Contribution
The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a measure of your family's financial strength and resources (for dependent students) that should be available to help pay for your education. The EFC is calculated from the information you report on the FAFSA and a formula established by law. Your family's income and assets are considered in determining your EFC. Your EFC will appear on the Student Aid Report (SAR) you receive after you apply for the FAFSA.
Estimating your Financial Aid
If you want an estimate of your financial aid award, use the FAFSA4caster.
If it is determined that you do not have financial need, you can still apply for an unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan or scholarships based on merit. In addition, parents can apply for PLUS loans.

Mediterrranean Quinoa Salad
This flavorful ancient grain has become synonymous with healthy eating plans as of late. I personally find the taste to be a tad on the strong side, so I decided to whip it up using some of my favourite ingredients. High in protein, low in fat, you are sure to enjoy this special salad. Great for entertaining vegetarians or change the recipe around a bit and easily make it vegan.
1 pkg (about a cup) of dry quinoa (cook following instructions, rinse cold or put it in the fridge overnight)
3 tbps of white wine vinegar or balsamic, whatever you prefer
2 tbsp light olive oil
½ cup of chopped basil leaves
½ cup of chopped sundried tomatoes
1 small can of diced, ripe black olives (about ½ cup)
½ cup of shredded feta or goat cheese (of course can be substituted out for vegans)
1 small can of artichokes, sliced into small pieces (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Blend the vinegar and oil. Add more or less vinegar to suit your palate. Add this mixture to the cold quinoa and mix together. Mix remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add the dressed quinoa to the mixed ingredients and toss together. Add some salt and pepper. Serves 4-6. Keeps well in the fridge.

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

I have been working in the broadcast industry for the last 19 years and have recently branched out into nature and wildlife photography. I am self taught in both videography and now photography. I remember growing up watching just about every nature documentary on television. Being out in nature to me is one of the best things any person can do. The chance to see and capture photographs of nature has been a highlight in my life. I have always had an affinity for nature in all forms. I find beauty in just about any aspect of the natural world we live in. The world is a master piece and wildlife makes up each aspect of that master piece. It was been a privilege to be able to get out and capture images of the various forms of life that...

This little blog has certainly been neglected, something I hope to fix in the new year - but not quite yet.
My father passed away unexpectedly on the 9th of November. Saying it has turned my world upside down would be an understatement. Honestly, the thought of researching deceased relatives has just been too much for me until fairly recently. But, I am slowly getting back into what I love (genealogy) and this blog will be updated accordingly.
Since I haven't checked this blog in nearly two months, there were more than a few (okay, many) comments waiting to be moderated. If you happened to be one of those whose comment never got published or responded to, then I am sorry and I will be getting back to you shortly, I promise! I especially want to make mention of the fact that a descendant of my great-great-grandmother, Marion Wood Allen, left a comment. I cannot tell you how excited I was to see that note - however, I have no way of getting back in touch with you. I hope you are reading this and contact me, because I would dearly love to discuss the family with you! I also have a lot on the family I would be happy to share if you do contact me.
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope we all have a happy and (genealogically) prosperous 2013!

I am so sorry to learn about the death of your father. Hugs to you. May his memory be eternal.
Oh Leah I am so sad to hear about your father. May your memories of him help give you some comfort.ReplyDelete
So sorry about your father. Losing family or friends does effect our research. It brings home even more that we are looking at people's lives. We are all so much more than names and dates.ReplyDelete
God Bless You.
I lost my father a few months ago and I'm still not out of the fog. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete

Make no mistake about it, Shero's draft record has been poor, at best. That being said, he's also turned several of his draft pick busts into quality trade returns/playoff rentals. You have to credit the man for at least partially fixing his mistakes. And let's be honest, Shero is a trading genius.
The man can sell!!! He is like Don Ready from the Goods...
There's still some guys in the system that could one day prove to be NHL contributers too.
Khunhackel (sp?)
Bryan Rust (though I'm one of a few who believes in this kid)
plus some others.
I agree it's tough to look past some of the absolute busts that Shero has taken early though, i.e. Keven Vellieux, CPZ, etc...
I think Veillieux is more injury prone than a bust. Not saying he's done, but he's still young enough that he might have a shot at the NHL.
Now CPZ, that dude is a bust.

Humane Society offering reward for info on Standish dog shooting
STANDISH — The Humane Society of the United States is offering a reward to anyone who comes forward with information regarding a dog found shot and killed on West Huron Road near US-23 in Standish on Dec. 29, 2011.
The dog, Haley, a 7-year-old golden retriever/cocker spaniel mix owned by Rob Rezler of Standish, reportedly had close range gunshot wounds above her eye and to a back leg.
The Humane Society is offering up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. It reported that Rezler said Haley ran off while they were playing on Dec. 27.
Jill Fritz, Michigan state director for The Humane Society, said she hoped the reward would bring someone forward with information about the crime.
"Anyone capable of harming an animal can be a danger to the community," she said. "You don't want to discount it just because it's an animal. Those that harm animals can also harm people."
Arenac County Undersheriff Don McIntyre said there are no suspects at this time.
"Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Department," he said.
The Sheriff's Department's phone number is 989-846-3002.

During your treatment, you will come in contact with many healthcare professionals. These people make up your treatment team. They will work with each other and with you to provide the special care you need. Your treatment team may include some of the healthcare professionals listed below.
Ideally, your treatment will be provided and managed by a gynecologic oncologist. Gynecologic oncologists are obstetrician-gynecologists who have an additional 3-4 years of special training in the comprehensive surgical care and medical treatment of female reproductive cancers including primary peritoneal cancer. A gynecologic oncologist can manage your care from diagnosis to completion of treatment. Women with primary peritoneal cancer who have their cancer surgery done by a gynecologic oncologist have higher cure rates than women who have surgery done by any other type of physician. The better survival is related to the fact that gynecologic oncologists are more likely to remove more of the cancer at the time of surgery and more accurately determine the stage of the cancer.
You also may be treated by a:
- Medical oncologist who specializes in using drug therapy (chemotherapy) to treat cancer.
- Radiation oncologist who specializes in using radiation therapy to treat cancer.
- Oncology nurse who specializes in cancer care. An oncology nurse can work with you on every aspect of your care, from helping you understand your diagnosis and treatment to providing emotional and social support.
- Social worker or patient navigators who are professionally trained in counseling and practical assistance, community support programs, home care, transportation, medical assistance, insurance and entitlement pro-grams. They are very helpful advocates, especially when you are first diagnosed and unsure what to do next.
- Nutritionist or registered dietitian who are expert in helping you either maintain or initiate healthy eating habits. This is important in the recovery process.
These professionals can help you overcome potential side effects of treatment such as poor appetite, nausea or mouth sores. It is important to note that natural remedies and supplements should be taken only under the supervision of a naturopathic physician in consultation with your gynecologic oncologist.
Talking with Your Treatment Team
You deserve expert advice and treatment from your treatment team. Be sure to talk openly about your concerns with the members of your treatment team. Let them know what is important to you. If it is hard for you to speak for yourself, these tips may help:
- Make a list of questions before your visit. Ask the most important questions first.
- Take notes or ask if you can tape record your medical office visits and phone conversations.
- If you don't understand something, ask the treatment team member to explain it again in a different way
- If possible, bring another person with you when you meet with members of your treatment team to discuss test results and treatment options.

Latin Dances
The Bolero, originating in Spain, is danced to a very slow type of Rumba rhythm. With its slip pivot and body rise danced to dreamy music usually accompanied by vocals, the Bolero has a very romantic and soft feel to it. The Bolero is all about being one with your partner in a slow, sweeping motion.
The mid-tempo Cha-Cha is a spin-off of the Rumba and the Mambo. With its two slow steps followed by three quick ones (rock step, cha-cha-cha), this sensual, energetic dance is extraordinarily popular with old and young alike.
The tempo is slow and staccato, making it easy for dancers to inject their own personality into the patterns. The Cha-Cha-Cha rhythm can still be heard in the music of contemporary performers like Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias and Gloria Estefan.
East Coast Swing
Back in the good old days of Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry, the East Coast Swing originated as a simplified 6-count triple step dance.
The East Coast Swing dance pattern moves smoothly either forward/back or side to side while circling freely around the floor. The basic step is triple step, triple step, rock step. Danced to a wide variety of music, you can "swing" to almost anything!
Lindy Hop
It all started at the Savoy…or so the story goes. While "Shorty George" Snowden, a dance enthusiast, watched some couples dancing at New York City's famous Savoy Ballroom in the late 1920s, someone asked him what dance they were doing. George glanced down at a newspaper opened up to an article about Charles Lindbergh's flight across the ocean, titled "Lindy Hops The Atlantic," and quickly answered: "The Lindy Hop." A dance was born! The Lindy Hop, always fun to dance, is wild, spontaneous, jumpy, and jazzy!
A Cuban bandleader named Perez Prado is credited with starting the Mambo dance craze in the mid-1950s. The Mambo is a Rumba with a break on 2 and 4 in 4/4 time, danced according to the individual dancer's temperament.
While conservative dancers can maintain a closed position, daring dancers can perform breakaway steps and completely separate themselves from each other.
Steamy! The most famous Latin American dance to gain popularity in North America and Europe is, without doubt, the rumba. Slow and romantic, the Rumba is the most sensual of the Latin dances. Motion is produced through a transfer of body weight and not from direct movement of the hips.
Couples dance very closely together, using their body language to express emotion between them. The Rumba is sometimes referred to as the "Dance Of Love" because couples stare deeply into each other's eyes while they dance.
The spirited Samba always gets feet tapping! Originally from Brazil, the festive Samba was popularized in the movies of Carmen Miranda. The Samba is characterized by a steady bounce in 2/4 meter achieved by flexing and straightening the knees while weight is transferred from the ball to the flat of the foot. This happy and bouncy dance is always fun!

SXSW Film 2013 - Part 1 (US - )
Jonathan watches the new Evil Dead and more to kick off SXSW Film 2013...
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone begins with a precious flashback to a young Burt Wonderstone. Bullies chase him and beat him up. He goes home on his birthday to find that has mom is working late. She left him some cake mix to make his own birthday cake, which generated an understandable "aww" from the audience. But then he opens his present: a Rance Holloway home magic kit. His horizons are immediately opened to new possibilities. While doing a magic trick at school he befriends the young Anton Marvelton, and the two form a strong friendship over their shared enjoyment of magic. Flash forward to decades later and Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) are a successful Vegas-style act, but they don't get along any more. Their act is also threatened by a new street magician, Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose gruesome street performances (often involving self-mutilation) are stealing attention away from Burt and Anton's stale act. As they attempt to formulate their own stunts to rival Steve Gray, their friendship is tested.
The flashback that opens The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is the only time the movie really achieves any warmth and likability for its characters. In the present day, Carell's Burt Wonderstone is completely devoid of the child's charm in the flashback. He's now an egotistical jerk and a total idiot. Think Ron Burgandy but with sparkly clothes, gross long hair and an orange spray on tan. While this archetype is becoming tiresome in modern comedies, it can work if the movie devotes itself to an idiotic tone. It's also too familiar for Steve Carell, who has played airhead characters in much of his work. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone wants Burt to be a real character though, and it never works. Thankfully there are some wonderful supporting roles. Jim Carrey's Steven Gray is a hysterical take on magicians like Criss Angel and David Blaine. For one of his stunts he keeps his eyes open for days. That isn't enough of a challenge, so he has gobs of pepper spray blasted into his eyes while screaming and still ceasing to blink. That is probably his most tame stunt. He's got an ego to match Burt Wonderstone and makes for a hilarious villain. Carrey plays this ludicrous character with his usual high energy and seems to be having a blast doing it. The movie suffers when he isn't in a scene. Alan Arkin is also great as Rance Holloway. Playing a harsh old joker that is ultimately kind is not a stretch for Arkin, but its one of the better incarnations of that role. Other supporting turns Steve Buscemi and Olivia Wilde are fine, but their characters bring nothing memorable to the proceedings.

It's surprising that there aren't more comedies about the world of magicians, especially the kind that have their own Vegas act and where sparkly clothes. There are plenty of comedic magic acts around, but this is the only film I can think of in recent memory that tackles the subject. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is best when it embraces the ridiculous, which is sadly not often enough. It can, at moments, be gut bustingly hilarious. I'll remember the last scene for years, while the rest of the movie is likely to fade from my memory by the end of the week. After the film we had a short Q&A session with the cast, producer, and writers. Steve Carell, Olivia Wilde, and Jim Carrey were in attendance. Carrey treated us to a musical number and proved to be as big of a goofball in person as his screen persona. When asked if any of the cast had to learn how to do slight of hand tricks, Carrey comically tried to conceal his microphone behind his arm. When asked about what it was like to be a woman working in a male-dominated industry, Olivia Wilde gave a nice response about how the industry is changing thanks to some ambitious women and how the male cast of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone always treated her with great respect and made her experience on the film comfortable. Carell interjected, humorously telling her that she better answer the question the way they told her to. Carell came across as a very nice guy who is happy to be in his line of work. The Q&A didn't last long, as the theater emptied out and people hopped back in line for the premier of Fede Alvarez's highly anticipated Evil Dead remake.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone opens in both UK and US theaters this Friday, March 15th.
Last year SXSW opened with The Cabin in the Woods, a movie that reinvigorated the horror genre while also lovingly dissecting its plentiful trappings. A year later, it only feels appropriate that we should return to watch a take on the original cabin in the woods story. Shedding the "the" from the title of the 1981 cult classic, this new Evil Dead takes on the challenge of being a serious horror movie. The story opens with a gruesome cold open that sets the tone of the film up nicely. After that we see some friends making their way to a cabin in the woods. Mia (Jane Levy) has enlisted the help of her friends and her brother David (Shiloh Fernandez) to watch over her in a remote location as she quits drugs cold turkey. We learn through exposition that they've tried this once before, but Mia ended up leaving the cabin and overdosing. This time, they promise not to let her leave. Of course they find a basement in the cabin filled with creepy dead animals and a book made of skin. It wouldn't be Evil Dead without the book of the dead. After one of the friends reads a passage from the book, Mia's soul becomes possessed. As Mia transforms into her demonic counterpart, her friends initially believe it is just the result of extreme withdrawals. After she gives herself serious burns, David tries to take her away for medical help, only to find that the road out of the woods is flooded. Now trapped, Mia's possession worsens with violent results and consequences for everyone around her.
This movie is exceptionally gory. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it is one of the most violent studio release of all time. I had heard about the film initially receiving an NC-17 rating, then being cut down to an R-rating, but nothing about the film feels neutered. Nothing is missing from that intense red band trailer, and there is plenty more where that footage came from. But for all its bountiful bloodshed, this take on Evil Dead is not scary. I'm ready to admit that I may just be jaded with the horror genre, but this movie did not get under my skin. People around me at the screening were bobbing back and forth and covering their mouths, but they were reacting to the wince-inducing gore and not out of genuine fear. If you find gore scary, then this movie will deliver, but I do not equate the two. There's not a lot of time and attention devoted to building atmosphere. Once chaos breaks loose, the film tumbles from one jump scene to the next. Even the jump scenes themselves are not very inspired, usually involving the camera panning to something that was not previously there, or a possessed character making a sudden lurch. The movie also shoots itself in the foot from time to time when it tries to pay tribute to the campy original. At first, it seems nice to honor the cult classic, but the elements don't blend well. Tonally, everything aims for a dark, gritty horror experience, but the occasionally nutty camera work (there's even a brief gearing up montage) and a handful of silly one-liners take you right out of the grim setting. It also doesn't help that the characters and script are completely disposable, but you can only do so much with this intentionally old school horror blueprint.

It is very easy to see that Alvarez is a talented director. The film looks very good. After the intro, the film opens with a breathtaking, disorienting upside down aerial view of the forest. The marshy forest with beams of light shining around dead trees looks surreal and beautiful. Even during the carnage taking place in dark rooms, he finds space to keep all of the action on screen. The climactic scene, which I'll try not to spoil the fun of, is a visual feast for horror fans. I have to give credit to the filmmakers for using mostly practical effects as well. Lots of the injuries look horrifyingly real. I cringed, and that doesn't happen easily. Meet this film on its terms, as a single-minded gore fest, and you're bound to come out impressed. Gorehounds will be delighted, but anyone hoping for genuine chills or worthwhile characters should adjust their expectations. After the film, Fede Alvarez came out along with the cast and producers, one of which is Bruce Campbell, the king himself. Campbell dominated the Q&A, and he is not afraid to let an audience member know if their question is stupid. The cast members shared some of their experiences from on set, specifically the ones that involved gory special effects. Alvarez said he is game for a sequel.
Evil Dead is scheduled for an April 5th release date in the US, with an April 19th date set for the UK.
David Gordon Green is someone whose career I have followed very closely. His first film, George Washington, struck a lyrical chord with me that very few films can match. He's always experimenting. Sometimes very literally, like with the playful editing choices of Undertow. In 2008 he made the biggest departure from his previous work when he directed Pineapple Express, and he has since only been making studio comedies. Following the less than great Your Highness and The Sitter, Prince Avalanche is Green's return to small scale filmmaking, and it is wonderful to see him working in this rhythm again. The movie was filmed in Bastrop, Texas following the massive wildfire in 2011 that burned over 30,000 acres and destroyed the homes of many. The movie is set in 1988 though, following a similar wildfire that occurred in 1987. The story follows Alvin (Paul Rudd), a road worker who paints stripes on a long windy road through the scorched earth of Bastrop. As a favor to his girlfriend, he has recently taken on her young brother Lance (Emile Hirsch) as an employee. The two spend all week together working on the roads, mostly in solitude. At night they camp out in a single tent. Alvin sees himself as somewhat of a romantic, always writing long sincere letters to his girlfriend. He also sends her money to help support her child. Him and Lance do not get along. Lance is more of a rowdy spirit, sometimes turning off Alvin's language tapes to play rock music. His thoughts and ambitions don't seem to stretch far beyond what women he is going to try to hook up with on his weekend.
This is very much a quaint character piece. Hirsch and Rudd are completely up to the task, bringing plenty of life to distinction to their characters. They bicker and argue about different things. While none of their early arguments are particularly compelling in their own right, they work to build a strong believable characters. Tim Orr, who has been a long time collaborator with David Gordon Green, gets some absolutely breathtaking footage of the Bastrop woods. Giant burnt trees lie in a bed of fresh green growth. There is a lot of life and death sharing the same space in this natural setting, and no shortage of surreal beauty. Things get more interesting when Lance takes the work truck back into town for the weekend and Alvin stays out in the woods. Alvin takes his undisclosed prescription medication and wanders around nature ruminating and sifting through the ashes of burnt down homes, sometimes playing house. Its funny at first, but becomes sad as it progresses and you realize he is imagining what it would be like to live with his girlfriend instead of working far away. In the ashes of one home he finds a distressed lady trying to recover a lost pilot license. Its the kind of oddly lyrical scene that is common in David Gordon Green earlier work. There's a lively sense of humor coursing through the film. When Alvin and Lance get petty with one another, their insults are often childish and hilarious. Lances shallow aspirations and the mopey attitude he adopts when he cannot reach them makes for a good laugh. There are also some wonderful scenes where the two men encounter an old truck driver (the late Lance LeGault) who is as funny as he is strange.
Alvin and Lance, both feeling outcast by the women they love, eventually find a way to bond and discover a new outlook on their lives. The forest on the mend makes a perfect backdrop for their destructive behavior and eventual rebirth. Their revelations feel completely believable thanks to Rudd and Hirsch's chemistry. On paper, the film's script probably doesn't amount to a compelling read. I would not be surprised if some of the dialogue was improvised as well, but Prince Avalanche still works. It runs on feelings, and the score from the band Explosions in the Sky contributes heavily to the vibe of the movie with a gorgeous, hypnotic music. So far this is one of my favorite films of the year. It'll be too leisurely paced and thinly scripted for some, but I was completely wrapped up in it. I can't wait to see it again. There was a brief Q&A after the film with the cast and filmmakers. David Gordon Green talked about how the film came to be. Prince Avalanche is based on an Icelandic film called Either Way that was recommended to David Gordon Green while he was searching for a story to tell in Bastrop State Park. He says he dreamt that made a film called Prince Avalanche, and simply thought it sounded cool so he decided to go with it. Hirsch and Rudd talked about how they got involved with the project and how much they enjoyed working with another.
Prince Avalanche currently has no release scheduled, but it has been picked up by Magnolia Pictures for distribution.
That's all for this segment on SXSW Film 2013. Look for another article coming soon with coverage on Joe Swanberg's Drinking Buddies, Richard Linklaters Before Midnight, and Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers.

The red band trailer does have a good amount of the gore in it, but there's still a few gross surprises awaiting you.

Wow, I'm in the same boat as you in not equating gore with fear in film but I was hoping "Evil Dead" would be an atmospheric and actually scary film. I'm sitll going to see it but feel like I should expect less. Also, did we basically see the whole film between the trailers?
Off-Topic: Shiloh with that bowtie is adorable.

State & Local Government Funds
Distributions to Counties and Municipalities, Calendar Year
Ohio's local government fund is composed of 4.2% of the
revenue from state sales tax, use tax, personal income tax,
public utility tax, and corporate franchise tax.
However, recent state budget bills (House Bill 94, 95 and 66)
temporarily suspended the statutory funding formula to
counties and municipalities beginning with the July 2001
distributions. In calendar year 2005, each county and
municipality received the same amount it received in calendar
year 2004.
Approximately $672.5 million was distributed from the local
government fund and the dealer in intangibles tax in 2005,
with $58.1 million distributed directly to municipalities
levying income taxes and $615.4 million distributed to the 88
county undivided local government funds. The allocation of
the total between the municipal and county portions is
determined using a statutory formula (Section 5747.50, Ohio
Revised Code).
The amount allocated to each county undivided local
government fund from the local government fund is determined
according to a complex statutory formula (Section 5747.501,
Ohio Revised Code). The amount allocated to each municipality
which levies an income tax is determined in proportion to its
share of all municipal income tax collections in the State
(Section 5747.50, Ohio Revised Code).
In addition to the revenues received from the local
government fund, each county undivided local government fund
also received five-eighths of the taxes paid by dealers in
intangibles in the county. These combined local government
fund and dealer in intangibles tax revenues are then
distributed by county budget commissions to eligible
subdivisions within the county (municipalities, townships,
park districts, and the county government itself). For the
distribution of these funds among the subdivisions, see
tables LG-3 and LG-5.
Table LG-1 shows the total revenues received by each county
undivided local government fund from both the local
government fund and the tax on dealers in intangibles. The
total amount distributed from the fund in calendar year 2005
was $603.7 million while the tax on dealers in intangibles
amounted to $11.7 million. Thus, the total amount of all
county undivided local government funds was $615.4 million.
LG-2 shows the amount distributed to each municipality in
2005. Of the $58.1 million total, $54.2 million was
distributed to cities and the remainder to villages.
Figures shown were compiled from records of the Ohio
Department of Taxation.

WORCESTER — Police booking videos and reports and witness testimony were all discussed Tuesday during the murder trial of Nicolas Dutan Guaman, but it was one piece of evidence not allowed by the judge that received the most attention.
Prosecutor David P. Feraco wanted to submit a MassHealth card with Mr. Guaman's name on it, but defense lawyer Peter L. Ettenberg called the card extremely prejudicial to his client. He said news headlines would focus on his client, who is living in the United States illegally, somehow having a state benefits card.
The card was apparently going to be submitted to help establish Mr. Guaman's residency and identification, but Judge David Ricciardone ruled against use of the card. The judge is presiding over the jury-waived trial in Worcester Superior Court.
Mr. Guaman is accused of dragging motorcycle rider Matthew Denice under his truck on Aug. 20, 2011, in Milford, causing fatal injuries. Mr. Denice, 23, of Milford, was allegedly dragged about a quarter of a mile in Milford as people tried to get the driver to stop.
Mr. Guaman, a 37-year-old native of Ecuador, is on trial on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter by motor vehicle in the death of the motorcyclist. Authorities allege Mr. Guaman was unlicensed and drunk at the time of the incident.
Officers testifying in the case said they followed Mr. Guaman's truck from Congress Street in Milford for about a quarter-mile until the truck stopped on a nearby street. As officers took Mr. Guaman into custody, they learned his young son was in the truck as well.
Angel Arce, who was a Milford police officer at the time, said he saw beer cans in Mr. Guaman's truck. One officer testified that as they placed Mr. Guaman into custody, he felt the young boy hitting him and then asking the officers to let his father go.
Police testified that Mr. Guaman had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes at the time of the accident. Mr. Ettenberg asked Officer Arce if police learned later that another adult was in the truck at the time of the accident. Officer Arce said there was another adult.
The lawyer asked Officer Arce if he knew who had consumed the beers found inside the truck. "No," responded the officer.
However, Officer Arce testified that Mr. Guaman did admit while being booked that he had been drinking alcohol.
According to a translation of what Mr. Guaman told the officer in the police station, he said, "Excuse me, I drank some beers."
The defense is arguing that Mr. Guaman did not know Mr. Denice was trapped under his truck after the collision. The defense lawyer has noted that people trying to stop Mr. Guaman's truck were yelling in English but his client does not speak the language.
More witnesses who ran to the crash scene on Congress Street testified during the morning. Patrick Shannon, who lived on Congress Street, said he heard a loud noise and walked to the scene. He saw a man trapped underneath a truck.
"I recognized a set of legs and someone being forced ... being dragged," Mr. Shannon said after collecting himself.
Mr. Shannon heard Mr. Denice cry out, he testified.
"It was just a scream, a bloodcurdling scream of 'Somebody help,' " he testified.

It's true, isn't it? Nothing smells better than fresh baked bread wafting from the oven, and that first taste of soft warm bread and hard crust is like heaven. After watching Alton Brown make some bread on Good Eats the other night, I have been craving a warm, crusty loaf of homemade bread. And so today was bread baking day. The recipe that I used for this bread makes two loaves, which was just perfect. I made one regular, plain white loaf. The other I transformed into a knock-off of my grandma's famous Bacon Cheese Bread. Usually around different holidays she will make bread with crumbled bacon and Romano or Parmesan cheese in it. It's one of my favorite things that she makes and so I decided to make my own.
In that Good Eats episode Alton gave a great tip for getting dough to rise – put the dough in the oven (not turned on) and on the rack beneath it place a pan that has just been filled with piping hot water. With the oven door closed the steam from the water will create the humidity needed for a good dough rise. It worked wonderfully – my dough rose perfectly!
I also did a good bit of research on the best way to store homemade bread, and what I found out was that it's pretty near impossible to keep fresh homemade bread from going stale or moldy in a few days because it does not contain any preservatives. The vast majority of the advice I found suggested slicing the bread and then, holding the loaf together as one, wrap the bread in a cling wrap, and then again in foil and store in the freezer. You can easily then take out as much as you want and let it thaw. This has been found to be better than keeping out on the counter (goes moldy quickly) or in the refrigerator (it gets dried out).

Low fat
Prep: 30 minutes
Rise: 1 1/4 hours (divided)
Bake: 40 minutes
Makes: 2 loaves
5 3/4 to 6 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (I used less than the minimum amount – definitely go by feel)
1 package active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups milk or buttermilk (I used whole milk)
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon butter, margarine or shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
To make the Bacon/Cheese version:
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and drained
1/2 cup grated Romano (or Parmesan) cheese, divided
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1) In a large mixing bowl combine 2-1/2 cups of the flour and the yeast; set aside. In a medium saucepan heat and stir milk, sugar, butter and salt just until warm (120 to 130 degrees F) and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
2) Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface of dough. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double in size (45 to 60 minutes).
3) Punch dough down. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide in half. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile lightly grease two 8x4x2 loaf pans.
4) Shape dough halves into loaves by patting or rolling. To shape by patting, gently pat and pinch, tucking edges underneath. To shape by rolling, on a lightly floured surface roll each dough half into a 12×8 inch rectangle. Roll up each rectangle, starting from a short side. Seal seams with your fingertips.
For Bacon/Cheese Bread: After rolling out the dough, brush it with the melted butter. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Romano cheese over the dough, top with crumbled bacon, and then top with the remaining 1/4 cup Romano cheese. Roll dough up as you did with the regular loaf and proceed with the recipe. Before putting it in the oven I brushed it with a little more melted butter and sprinkled some grated Parmesan on top. I think that this version would also taste very good with fresh ground black pepper in it as well.
5) Place shaped dough halves in prepared pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 40 minutes).
6) Bake in a 375 degree oven about 40 minutes or until bread sounds hollow when lightly tapped (if necessary, cover loosely with foil the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over browning). Immediately remove bread from pans. Cool on wire racks.

Actress Halle Berry is trying to sell her Hollywood Hills West house. The home's motor court was the site of a Thanksgiving Day altercation between her former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and actor Olivier Martinez that landed both men in the hospital.
The home is being shopped off the Multiple Listing Service as a pocket listing for $15 million, area real estate agents confirmed.
Halle bought the house in 2005 from former "Malcolm in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz for nearly $6 million, according to Times archives. The five-bedroom house has 5,900 square feet of living space and sits on more than a half acre with a 1,400-square-foot guest house, a swimming pool and spa.
She and Aubry are in the midst of a heated custody battle.
Berry, 46, has starred in the "X-Men" movies and "Die Another Day" (2002). The former model starred this year in the film "Dark Tide."

jQuery has been the basis of our front end JS for a number of years. The key part for us was that the amount of code saved by using jQuery methods, as opposed to writing out cross-browser compatible alternatives made it a no brainer. In recent years we've had to be clever in how we deliver jQuery on the websites, to ensure it's not render blocking and improve client-side performance but it's still a vital library.

text: URMC / Department of Surgery / Solid Organ Transplant / Procedures We Perform / Heart Transplant Heart Transplant Heart failure is a condition in which your heart can no longer provide enough blood to keep up with your body's needs. Heart failure can be caused by several different problems, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, heart attack or congenital heart problems. In many cases, heart failure can be treated effectively with medications. When medications do not help and symptoms become severe, a heart transplant may need to be considered. A heart transplant can restore the health and energy you had prior to heart failure. There are many important risks to consider, though, and patients requiring a heart transplant may encounter long waits for a donor heart. How it's Done Prior to a heart transplant, your cardiologist must determine if this surgery is appropriate for you. For example, you may not be considered a good candidate for a heart transplant if you have other serious medical conditions, or if you are older than 65. Once you have been identified as suitable for a heart transplant, you need to wait for a donor heart to become available. This can take many months. During this time, your doctors and nurses work with you to help you manage your heart failure. When a donor heart becomes available, you are notified immediately. The heart transplant must be performed right away, while the donor heart is still healthy. Heart transplant surgery takes four hours or longer. You are put under general anesthesia and a heart lung machine takes over supplying blood to your body. Your diseased heart is removed and the donor heart is sewn in place. Donor hearts often start beating on their own. Otherwise, your surgeon will stimulate it to start beating with an electric shock. Most patients remain in the hospital for 7-14 days after a heart transplant. The recovery period at home takes several months, and requires the support of family and friends. There are certain medications you will have to take for the rest of your life to prevent your body from rejecting your new heart. Many patients with heart transplants have lived 10 years or more with their new hearts. Risks There are two kinds of risks associated with heart surgery: The risks of the surgery itself, and the risks of living with a new heart. Infection Reaction to anesthesia Rejection of your new heart Arterial problems Kidney damage from immunosuppressant drugs Cancer caused by immunosuppressant drugs Death Technology and Expertise at URMC The Program in Heart Failure and Transplantation at URMC is the largest and most successful ongoing heart transplant program in Upstate New York. Our program has performed over 120 heart transplants for heart failure patients from throughout New York State and Northern Pennsylvania since its inception in 2001. Our outcomes compare favorably to the best heart transplant centers in the nation, with our most recent one-year survival rate being 91%. We are also one of the most experienced centers in the nation in the use of ventricular assist devices (VADs). These artificial heart pumps can often provide new hope for heart failure patients who are not appropriate for heart transplant surgery. As a highly experienced program in a smaller metropolitan area, we are able to give patients a high level of personal attention to help them through the challenging process of heart transplant. For more information on the Program in Heart Failure and Transplantation at URMC, contact us at (585) 273-3760.

Want to write a book about the Great War? First, read Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms." Then, check out Paul Fussell's "The Great War and Modern Memory." Next, consult Erich Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front" and, while you're at it, put the 1930 film version – an Oscar-winning masterpiece – in your Netflix queue. Then, ask yourself: Do I really want to write a book about the Great War?
"War may be horrible, but that should not distract us from the acknowledging what a horrible cliché this has become," Geoff Dyer writes in The Missing of the Somme, a minor meditation on World War I that never manages to be as major as the works on whose shoulders it stands. "The phrase 'horror of war' has become so automatic a conjunction that it conveys none of the horror it is meant to express."
Dyer's put himself in quite a bind. Almost a century after the assassination of an Austrian archduke by a Serbian nationalist sparked an interminable conflict that killed millions, "The Missing of the Somme" tries to say something new about the Great War while acknowledging that there may be nothing new to say. Halfheartedly trying to dodge this paralyzing paradox, Dyer offers a miniature family history – his grandfather served as a driver at the Somme, the 1916 battle in Northern France often called the bloodiest in human history – that segues awkwardly into a drunken tour of WWI memorials. In the end, the author forsakes memoir, travelogue, and art history to settle on a less promising method: critical theory.
"The young men queuing up to enlist in 1914 have the look of ghosts," Dyer writes. "They are queuing up to be slaughtered: they are already dead…. [T]he Great War urges us to write the opposite of history: the story of effects generating their cause."
One must ask: Is this bunk? If not, what does it mean? While cranky academics are too quick to dismiss experimental, edgy critical theorists like Jean Baudrillard – whose 1991 essay "The Gulf War Did Not Take Place" playfully dissects how Westerners think about wars they watch on television – you don't have to be reactionary to call Dyer's postmodern bluff. For a book that tries to add value to libraries filled with worthy writing about World War I, "The Missing of the Somme"'s diaphanous swipes at lyricism seem immaterial. Even worse, Dyer admits as much.
"My own reading of general histories of the war is characterized by a headlong impatience," he writes. "There are parts of these histories I try hard to concentrate on but whose details I can never absorb: the network of treaties, the flurry of telegrams and diplomatic maneuvers that lead up to the actual outbreak of war. Consequently everything between the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the lamps going out over Europe is a blur."
A "blur" can be a great subject for a book. Disaster need not strike when an author cops to an incomplete understanding of his or her subject. Norman Mailer didn't really get Gary Gilmore, but "The Executioner's Song" helped define new journalism. Denis Johnson's "Tree of Smoke" ably conveys the madness of the Vietnam War by presenting it as impenetrable, pointless, inexplicable madness. Heck, even the movie "Adaptation" was about writer's block. Perhaps part of Dyer's problem is that "The Missing of the Somme" is almost two decades old – this Vintage edition is the first stateside publication of a book that appeared in the UK in 1994. As the author might put it, readers are queuing up to read a book that is already dead.
Still, Dyer should do better. His acclaimed "But Beautiful: A Book About Jazz" (1991) and his "Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It" (2003) were the happy result of this Britisher sticking his nose where it didn't necessarily belong. But here the author proves unable or unwilling to master the Great War's unfamiliar no-man's land. Navel-gazing and occasionally incomprehensible, "The Missing of the Somme" disappears down a rabbit hole.
"At this moment I am the only person on earth experiencing these sensations, in this place," Dyer writes of a trip to the memorial that gives "The Missing of the Somme" its name. "At the same time, overwhelming and compounding this feeling, is the certainty that my presence here changes nothing; everything would be exactly the same without me."
Is there a better epitaph for bad writing?

Books in the Bengali Language
This treatise was written in Bengali, in the year 1986, for the 500th anniversary of the advent of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the scheduled yet hidden incarnation for this age of Kali, as established in Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Vedic literatures. It was composed by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja (Srila Gurudeva), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's illustrious personal associate, whose sole mission and most prominent speciality (vasistya) is to give clarity and emphasis to the specific, internal nature of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's all-compassionate mission in this world.
The true nature of devotion: This book describes Krsna's sweet childhood pastimes, in which He plays with Mother Yashoda as an ordinary child.

Firing begins.
Our neighbor's barn is full of tobacco, and now he's firing (fire-curing) the tobacco.
Inside the barn, sawdust is smoldering in trenches or a pit on the barn floor. A pile of sawdust stands ready between the barn and the highway. Hardwood slabs are usually burned along with the sawdust. If you are curious about the process, the University of Kentucky document, Harvesting, Curing, and Preparing Dark-Fired Tobacco for Market (pdf), is a good summary of the science of fire-curing.
Tonight the wind is carrying the smoke our way. We have some windows open this evening, and we can smell the smoke in the house. I don't enjoy the odor, so I closed the windows on the side that the breeze was coming through, and that helped.
Tobacco firing doesn't last too long. In a few weeks, this will be over. Before then, the wind will switch again and the smoke will blow somewhere else.

Microsoft 'Anti-Piracy' Campaign Explains Why It's Bad For Businesses To Pay For Microsoft Software
from the i-don't-get-it dept
I'm not joking.
The key point that we learn is that companies in Brazil, Russia, India and China "ultimately have a $1.6 billion (U.S.) competitive advantage over companies that play fair by using genuine software." In other words, if you pay for our software, you're at a competitive disadvantage. Some of the other points from the press release, which only seem to drive this point home further:
- Piracy creates more than $2.9 billion of competitive disadvantage per year across manufacturers in Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.
- In specific countries, Keystone determined how much pirated software harms manufacturers playing by the rules as follows: Brazil ($186 million), Russia ($115 million), India ($505 million), and China ($837 million).
- Over a five-year software life cycle, manufacturing companies in BRIC countries will lose more than $8.2 billion to their cheating competitors.
- There are more than 4.1 million PCs legally licensed by manufacturing firms that play by the rules in China. The competitive disadvantage to these firms amounts to about $837 million annually, or $4.18 billion over the typical five-year software life cycle.
- Indian manufacturers experience $505 million per year in competitive harm. Their pirating competitors could use this money to hire more than 215,000 new employees.

The Washington Free Public Library Board of Trustees has chosen a new director for the library. Former Washington resident Debbie Stanton has been hired to replace Library Director Patrick Finney. Finney who was the Director for 11 years, left in June to work for the Daniel Boone Regional Library system in Columbia, Missouri.
Stanton was chosen out of 23 applicants from Iowa and seven other states. She lived in Washington from 2006 to 2009 and served as the Youth Services Librarian for the Kalona Public Library and as the Library Assistant for the Washington Library.
Stanton returns to Washington from Kenai, Alaska where she worked as a Grant Assistant for the Kenaitze Indian Tribe.
She is a student at the University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies and former student at the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science and holds an undergraduate degree in Library Science from University of Maine at Augusta.
While a resident of Washington, Debbie served on the Washington Community School District Board of Education and the Washington Library Political Action Committee. She acted as the Secretary of the Iowa Library Associations' Youth Services Subdivision and served on the State Library Youth Services Advisory Committee on the state level.
Stanton says she and her family are very excited to come back to Washington and are looking forward to reconnecting with the community. She adds the library is such a great place right now and is honored to get the chance to lead it into the future. Stanton will begin as the new Library Director October 1st.

float trainingData[4][2] = { {501, 10}, {255, 10}, {501, 255}, {10, 501} };

The thing is he didn't tell me how and I think it would be better if I heard how to use it from others mouth other than piecing together a hack that might break in code I distribute. So if anyone could throw me a quick how to...I'd be forever grateful=) If this breaks the rules I apologize but I do like to be safe whenever possible. I will edit my code with attempts if neccessary though.

ALGANSEE TOWNSHIP � A motorcyclist suffered head and neck injuries Thursday around 1 p.m. when he lost control of his bike on Fremont Road.
Witnesses in a Jeep Cherokee said the man rode around them at a high rate of speed as they came over a rise just north of Lakeshore Drive northbound. The man and woman watched as the rider began to wobble and went off the east side of the road, traveling 90 feet before the bike hit�the ground near a fence and threw the man off.
They witnesses both said�the rider�was in the air as the Harley he had been riding began to flip over several times before coming to rest next to a tree, three feet beyond where the rider hit. He was not wearing a helmet, although two were in the bike�s luggage compartment came out during the crash.
When the witnesses got to the rider he was unconscious and not moving. After LifeCare medics arrived he regained consciousness and was talking to Michigan State Police troopers who were on the scene to investigate the accident.
AirCare was called and Quincy Fire Department representatives�set up a landing zone to fly the man to a Kalamazoo trauma center. Branch County Sheriff's Office officers also assisted at the scene.
The accident closed Fremont Road for just under an hour.

CNN is covering Election Day right now on CNN TV, CNN.com and via CNN's mobile apps. Check up-to-the-minute results at cnn.com/results and join our live blog at cnn.com/conversation. Need other reasons to spend Election Day with CNN? Here's our list.
(CNN) -- Election night tops off an important day that, for many people, can be summed up in one tiny sticker that says "I voted."
We asked readers to upload their photos to CNN iReport and tag their social media images of stickers #ivotedcnn, and we received more than 2,000 iReport submissions from all 50 states. (That's not including all of the photos tagged #ivotedcnn.)
You can view the iReports on a map via the Open Story.
But early voting has been especially big in 2012, and some polling places don't give away stickers. Sticker-less iReporters printed out CNN's sticker or found other ways to tell us that they had voted. Just take a look here to see a few creative examples.

Blackfoot High band concert tonight
BLACKFOOT – The sounds and joy of the season will fill the Blackfoot Performing Arts Center tonight at the Blackfoot High School Christmas concert. This year's concert plan to offer more than customary, beautiful holiday music from the bands and choirs.
Band Director Jan Eddington is particularly excited about a piece that will be played by the Symphonic Band. The challenging piece by Ralph Vaughan Williams will feature guest harpist Leslie Mielke and flutist Robert Cannon, a senior at BHS.
"This is very famous orchestra literature," said Eddington. "We are so pleased to have Leslie and Bobby perform it with us. They are both wonderful musicians."
The evening will also include special presentations to Susan Mann and Allen Tripp, both of whom are being inducted into the Idaho Music Educators Association Hall of Fame.
They will be commended for "a lifetime of dedicated service to the youth of Idaho and for using music to improve the lives of their many students". Mann retired from BHS in 2007. She is now the BPAC programming director. Tripp also retired from BHS in 2007 and is the BPAC manager. Both were instrumental in the building and development of the BPAC.
Tonight's concert will include performances from Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble, A Cappella Choir, Concert Choir and the middle school choirs. The public is invited to the concert, which begins at 7 p.m.

Pools hit for six by Spireites
Hartlepool's miserable season sunk to new depths as the League One strugglers were thrashed 6-1 by Chesterfield in a one-sided FA Cup first-round tie at the Proact Stadium.
The visiting fans turned on their team as goals from Scott Boden, Mark Randall, Craig Clay, Terrell Forbes, Jack Lester and Craig Westcarr booked the League Two club's place in round two, with Antony Sweeney replying for managerless Pool.
Chesterfield went in front in the 16th minute when Danny Whitaker's pass released Boden who lifted the ball over Scott Flinders from 10 yards.
Pools' defence was opened again in the 29th minute when Drew Talbot crossed from the right and Randall side-footed past Flinders from 15 yards.
Veteran striker Steve Howard had a header saved byhome goalkeeper Richard O'Donnell in the 39th minute but three minutes later more awful defending allowed Clay to drive home a free-kick.
Chesterfield scored again in the 54th minute when no-one tracked Forbes' run to the back post to turn in Whitaker's free-kick, and although Sweeney headed in a corner after 78 minutes, Lester drove in the fifth straight from the restart before fellow substitute Westcarr made it six with a 12-yard finish in the last minute.
