Initially, your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) offers these criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome . With this criteria, you have metabolic syndrome if you have three out of the five conditions.
Central obesity occurs when extra fat tissue is "central," found in the waist area. This has been found to have greater metabolic consequences. Central obesity may be defined as:
This occurs when your body is not able to efficiently convert carbohydrates (the energy source found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, and starches) into energy for the body to use. Glucose intolerance may be defined as by a fasting glucose level greater than or equal to 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L).
Other criteria for metabolic syndrome include having insulin resistance. This occurs when your body is unable to respond to and use the insulin it produces (often a feature of type 2 diabetes ).
High blood pressure is defined as a blood pressure greater than or equal to 130/85 mmHg.
Triglycerides are a kind of fat found in your blood. This is defined as fasting blood triglycerides greater than or equal to 150 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L).
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. This breaks down and removes cholesterol from the body. It is sometimes referred to as the "good cholesterol." This is defined as:
There are a number of tests that your doctor may do. Examples include:
These tests check your blood sugar levels and make sure they are within normal range. There are a few ways that this can be accomplished, such as:
These tests are also called lipid profile tests. Your doctor will take a sample of your blood and check your:

Reviews for Pork Chops with Blackberry Sauce
"I didn't have blackberry jam but I did have leftover jellied cranberry sauce so I used that with a little added honey over the pork chops. My toddlers ate it all which is always the hardest earned seal of approval!"
"My stars are for the blackberry sauce. I did not make the chops....I made a pork tenderloin in the crockpot. This sauce is delicious! Will be a staple in the family now."
"I baked the boneless pork chops covered in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes as they were thick. I then poured the sauce over them. It was very good."
"My family loved this recipe. I even used the sugar free blackberry spreadable fruit and worked great!"
"This sauce is so good I may not make pork chops again without making blackberry sauce. It adds a little exta special flavor to the chops. I think it would taste really good on ribs too!! It's also a very quick item to make."
"Delicious easy recipe. Definitely will be making this recipe again!"

Nelson holds onto top spot in the KIJHL
The Nelson Junior Leafs held onto first place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League after a close result on Spokane on Sunday afternoon.
The locals started the weekend with a 1-0 win against the Columbia Valley Rockies on Friday night at home and on Sunday afternoon travelled south to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena in Spokane for their second game of the weekend against the Braves.
Spokane opened the scoring in the first period when Matt Thurston beat Nelson starter Marcus Beesley just under eight minutes into the game.
With the Leafs on the powerplay late in the period, Dustin Reimer evened the score to send the teams into the dressing room tied at ones.
Despite outshooting the Braves 16-7 in the middle frame, it was the host team that managed the only goal when Dylan Tappe scored on the powerplay five minutes into the second.
With every point essential during the stretch drive to the playoffs in the ever-tightening Neil Murdoch Division, the Leafs came out determined in the final frame.
Rookie defenceman Cole Arcuri tied the score just over five minutes into the period and two minutes later Aaron Dunlap gave Nelson its first lead of the game.
With Reimer in the penalty box for cross checking, Thurston tied the score again with five minutes left in the game.
Needing the two points to stay ahead of the surging Castlegar Rebels and Beaver Valley Nitehawks, James Sorrey played hero on the afternoon beating Braves goalie Matt Zenzola with just over four minutes left to play. The Leafs held on for the 4-3 win.
The pair of wins keeps the Leafs in top spot in the Neil Murdoch Division. Both Castlegar and Beaver Valley won both of their games. The Rebels are currently riding a six-game winning streak and the Nitehawks a three-game winning streak.
The Leafs have a big home weekend coming up with three games. On Friday Spokane will travel to the Nelson and District Community Complex. The Leafs will then host the Grand Forks Border Bruins and Revelstoke Grizzlies.

Black history abounds @ library
Black Students United, the umbrella organization for Cornell's students of the African diaspora, has created multiple displays in three different library spaces across campus:
• In Mann Library's lobby, exhibit cases illustrate the story of several African-American students at Cornell during the late 19th and early-20th centuries.
• In the Tower Room of Uris Library, a timeline traces famous inventors throughout black history.
• And in Olin Library, display cases across from the first-floor Current Periodicals Reading Room and outside the Maps & Media department on level B explain elements of African-American history on campus, with spotlights on the Africana Center, Ujamaa Residential College and more.

AUSTIN, Texas — Online coupons and coupon codes could drive sales for businesses, according to a new study.
The research, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of WhaleShark Media, found that among 504 coupon site users surveyed, active coupon users reported not only spent more than less active coupon users ($1,850 versus $1,025), nearly three-quarters of active coupon users (74%) polled said that they more likely would try a new brand if they received a coupon or promotion code, versus 54% of less active coupon users. Additionally, visitors to online coupon sites made 18% more online purchases in the last six months and said they expect to spend 16% more (compared with other shoppers) in the next 12 months.
When it came to how coupons or coupon codes motivated spending, 88% said the promotions helped "close the deal" on their decision to make a purchase; 60% said they would be more likely to reconsider purchasing an item that hadn't previously bought if they received an online coupon or promotion code. A majority of those surveyed said online coupons and coupon codes boost a company's brand image (80%) and prompt positive feeling towards companies that offer them (88%).
Although it is known that online coupon use is on the rise, WhaleShark Media, which operates such couponing sites as CouponShare.com, Deals.com, RetailMeNot.com and more, said it commissioned the survey to understand what this meant to those providing the deals (i.e., retailers and suppliers).
"The results are very compelling, suggesting that a mix of creative and effective retailer marketing, coupled with savvy and resourceful shoppers, can dramatically spur shopping activity and retailer sales," WhaleShark Media CEO Cotter Cunningham said.

I talked to Pittsburgh assistant GM Chuck Fletcher between periods tonight about the possibility of the Penguins making any moves before AHL playoff rosters are due tomorrow. I'll have a full Web-exclusive story about it later tonight.
As for the game tonight, lots of little items of note.
First, John Curry had a pretty nice game for himself on his 24th birthday. He bounced back from adversity twice. He gave up a goal in the first period when he dropped a pop-up, leading to a goalmouth scrum. He didn't get beat the rest of the way in regulation. He got beat on the first attempt of the shootout — on a move where Joakim Lindstrom stopped at the top of the crease, which isn't technically allowed under shootout rules — but then rebounded to stop the next eight.
Second, as nafs mentioned on the previous post, there was a disputed Tim Brent goal late in the second period. His shot beat Karl Goehring over the left shoulder and either hit the crossbar or under the crossbar. Referee Francois St. Laurent consulted briefly with the goal judge, then waved it off. Brent and coach Todd Richards contended that St. Laurent misheard or misunderstood (or maybe misremembered) what the goal judge said. Brent said he could read the goal judge's lips saying it under UNDER the bar, not OFF the bar. Richards begged St. Laurent to talk to the goal judge again, but he wouldn't.
Could the plastic sound of the new crossbar contributed to the referee's confusion on the play, as nafs suggested? Maybe. I'm starting to think losing the familiar ping off the post is too much of a price to pay for the light-up nets.
To Tallas34, I don't understand the Kessel move either. It's important for a guy with 132 NHL games, including 30 points in 62 games this year, to get AHL playoff experience? Maybe it's meant to humble Kessel. There were rumors, when the Bruins were reportedly in talks with the Flyers about a Kessel-for-Jeff-Carter deal, that Boston wasn't happy with his attitude. That's all I can think of.
To Barry, I talked to Jeff Barrett tonight and he said the Garmin gave him bad advice getting to the Nassau Coliseum. He also said the weather and GWB traffic were more of a problem than any wrong turns. I took his word on that and didn't bust his chops any further. Should I have pushed it?
To KJ, the thing is, you keep waiting for Ty Conklin to remember that he's a journeyman and it keeps not happening.
More later,

Once upon a time there was a beautiful river finding her way among the hills, forests, and meadows. She began by being a joyful stream of water, a spring always dancing and singing as she ran down from the top of the mountain. She was very young at the time, and as she came to the lowland she slowed down. She was thinking about going to the ocean. As she grew up, she learned to look beautiful, winding gracefully among the hills and meadows.
One day she noticed the clouds within herself; clouds of all sorts of colors and forms. She did nothing during these days but chase after clouds. She wanted to possess a cloud, to have one for herself. But clouds float and travel in the sky, and they are always changing their form. Sometimes they look like an overcoat, sometimes like a horse. Because of the nature of impermanence within the clouds, the river suffered very much. Her pleasure, her joy had become just chasing after clouds, one after another, but despair, anger, and hatred became her life.
Then one day a strong wind came and blew away all the clouds in the sky. The sky became completely empty. Our river thought that life was not worth living, for there were no longer any clouds to chase after. She wanted to die: "If there are no clouds, why should I be alive?" But how can a river take her own life?
That night the river had the opportunity to go back to herself for the first time. She had been running for so long after something outside of herself that she had never seen herself. That night was the first opportunity for her to hear her own crying, the sounds of water crashing against the banks of the river. Because she was able to listen to her own voice, she discovered something quite important.
She realized that what she had been looking for was already in herself. She found out that clouds are nothing but water. Clouds are born from water and will return to water. And she found out that she herself is also water.
The next morning when the sun was in the sky, she discovered something beautiful. She saw the blue sky for the first time. She had never noticed it before. She had only been interested in clouds, and she had missed seeing the sky, which is the home of all the clouds. Clouds are impermanent, but the sky is stable. She realized that the immense sky had been within her heart since the very beginning. This great insight brought her peace and happiness. As she saw the vast wonderful blue sky, she knew that her peace and stability would never be lost again.
That afternoon the clouds returned, but this time she did not want to possess any of them. She could see the beauty of each cloud, and she was able to welcome all of them. When a cloud came by, she would greet him or her with loving kindness. When that cloud wanted to go away, she would wave to him or her happily and with loving kindness. She realized that all clouds are her. She didn't have to choose between the clouds and herself. Peace and harmony existed between her and the clouds.
That evening something wonderful happened. When she opened her heart completely to the evening sky she received the image of the full moon–beautiful, round, like a jewel within herself. She had never imagined that she could receive such a beautiful image.
There is a very beautiful poem in Chinese: "The fresh and beautiful moon is traveling in the utmost empty sky. When the mind-rivers of living beings are free, that image of the beautiful moon will reflect in each of us."
This was the mind of the river at that moment. She received the image of that beautiful moon within her heart, and water, clouds, and moon took each other's hands and practiced walking meditation slowly, slowly to the ocean.
There is nothing to chase after.

Maybe I'm stupid, but that pie chart in the middle makes no sense to me. Somehow blue means 1 million computer users (?) and the green means computers per capita then what is the result of the pie chart? Are there 5 million computers in Ghana> That doesn't sound too bad… All in all a pretty shitty infograph and a cheap attempt at driving up website traffic, if I may say so myself (I may).
Hi Zack,
You're not stupid, we should have just been clearer. Each circle represents 1 million people, not just the blue area. So for Ghana out of every 1 million people only 50 thousand have personal computers and so on.
We appreciate your honest and feedback though and always like getting direction on our posts. As for this being cheap, next to the video blog posts, these are our second most expensive posts we do and we actually put alot of time and thought into them so you have hurt my feelings ;)

You should be a little more specific because you can upgrade the inside of your computer part by part to follow the increasing power of technology. The replacement span of parts would depend on what you use the computer for and how often the computer is run. People who just browse web every once in a while could keep a computer much longer than a graphics designer or gamer. The latter people run it more often so the part's lives drain as they're used, but also demand higher quality parts as they are released so that they have better graphics and smoother processing for graphic intensive games and designing. Also, I've had a computer for 8+ years and it still "works", it doesn't just up and die. Pretty much all you have to do is keep it dusted out and the parts should run fine for a long time. Even if you don't keep up with upgrading the computer you can still play games, just not the newer ones. You can also continue to browse the web just fine. Dusting computers is the BIGGEST problem for computers as it leads to overheating, possibly even fire! Anti-virus IS important too, but if a nasty bug starts taking over I normally just reinstall the operating system and it's brand new again… You aren't specific about the "working" life of a computer. My old computer still works. Also, you shouldn't update drivers regularly. You should actually only update drivers if something fails and needs it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. For an infographic it seems to be missing more important and less commonly known info. Saying to upgrade your computer within 3-5 years seems like a waste of people just tossing that "junky old computer" in the electronic dump or maybe even into the dump it shouldn't be in. If a person owns a computer and they don't know how to properly upgrade its parts and dust it out, they shouldn't even own a computer. There's so many inexperienced computer owners out there that don't even know how to enter BIOS. These people should just stick to tablets and smart phones because they're just gonna toss the last electronic away for a whole new setup, they might as well be tossing away smaller ones than a whole case full of parts that could be used in one way or another.

Seems some of the information is outdated. For example, with Windows 7 you no longer need to defragment your hard drive, it is done automatically. Might be the same with Windows Vista too. And with the new Solid State Drives out it will actually mess up the drive. The trim() command is what you use on those. I would also suggest to update and run antivirus/antispyware daily.
Hi Jordan,
Thanks for your comments!
It's untrue that Windows 7 defragments automatically out of the box; it must be set up in Disk Defragmenter like any other version of Windows. However, this is rumored to be a part of Windows 8. Also, you are correct that defragmenting is a waste of time if you've got a solid state drive.
While you can run antivirus every evening, if you leave your PC on, a virus shield application and a once a week scan is usually enough. Of course, running a new scan if you're unsure about something you downloaded is also wise.
Keep reading the blog!
Ever since I installed Ubuntu 11.10 i have had no viruses at all, few pop-ups,no unsolicieted junk, and even better luck with my email. how come? Am I just going through a 'lucky spell" or is it due to the Ubuntu? I also have, dual booter Windows 7 and it is so buggy now as to harxdly work, loads my hard drive and slows down more ecvery day. I am very happy with the Ubuntu progtrams, foreign to men at first but well worth the short learning curve. How can Ubuntu survive without charging? Will I get an unexpected bill in the mail? I hope nt! I love the Ubuntu system and would gladly pay for it after trying it or make a donation.The free science and educational software is the very best.Makre me wonder why Windows 7 survives.
Hi Uncle,
Probably the biggest reason why Windows 7 has survived this long is software. OpenOffice can only do so much compared to Microsoft Office, especially if you use advanced features. Adobe Photoshop doesn't have a Linux version. And so on. That's all changing with the development of web apps, so platform is becoming more independent as time goes on. But we're not there yet.

On December 16, 2009, the Executive Office of the President of the United States released the document, "A Framework for Revitalizing American Manufacturing," an analysis report that provides key facts and assumptions that form the basis for development of sound and comprehensive federal policy to support a successful U.S. manufacturing industry in today's global economy. Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert was working behind-the-scenes supporting the pivotal role of higher education in a successful manufacturing workforce to be considered in the policymaking.
In October of 2008 Lambert was one of 25 education leaders from across the country to be named to a national council to help develop national strategies to keep the American manufacturing workforce globally competitive and to create more high-paying jobs. As a charter member of the Education Council, selected by the Manufacturing Institute, the research, education and workforce arm of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Lambert and his fellow team members helped shape major educational and workforce development initiatives to close the skills gap and to help young people and transitioning workers find new careers in the manufacturing economy.
"Community colleges were chosen as the delivery system because they have a successful track record," said Emily DeRocco, president of The Manufacturing Institute and former U.S. assistant secretary of labor for employment and training. "They have taken the lead in adapting their postsecondary education to meet industry needs in their regional economies."
Council members were appointed to focus on issues as wide-ranging as identifying solutions to address the adult literacy crisis, designing regional manufacturing talent development systems, creating 21st century career and technical education programs and advancing innovation in the manufacturing economy.
In May of 2009, Shoreline was selected as one of four colleges to receive National Manufacturing Institute grant funding through the Gates Foundation to fund a pilot program to implement the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM)-endorsed Manufacturing Skills Read about SCC's NAM-endorsed Manufacturing Skills Certification Program. Certification System. The integrated educational program prepares students with entry-level skills to succeed in advanced manufacturing careers. The grant funds will focus on low-income young adults and transitioning workers.
"In these difficult economic times, we must create new educational pathways to help more individuals prepare for high-paying manufacturing jobs and, in turn, help our companies compete in world markets," said DeRocco.

Lawyer Who Gave President Bush Legal Cover For Warrantless Wiretapping Now Claims We'll Come To Love An Intrusive NSA
from the because-he's-clueless dept
We conclude that in the circumstances of the current armed conflict with al Qaeda, the restrictions set out in FISA, as applied to targeted efforts to intercept the communications of the enemy in order to prevent further armed attacks on the United States, would be an unconstitutional infringement on the constitutionally assigned powers of the President. The President has inherent constitutional authority as Commander in Chief and sole organ for the nation in foreign affairs to conduct warrantless surveillance of enemy forces for intelligence purposes to detect and disrupt armed attacks on the United States. Congress does not have the power to restrict the President's exercise of that authority.Got that? It's not the 4th Amendment he was worried about infringing on, but rather the "assigned powers of the President," which he argued included ignoring the 4th Amendment's requirement for a warrant before wiretapping. Anyway, so that gives you some sense of the kind of person writing this defense of an intrusive NSA. He believes that if the President is doing it for a good reason (as, apparently, decided by the President), then it's perfectly legal, because separation of powers is another concept that can be ignored.
Okay, back to his present... screed. The key argument here seems to be to puff up cybersecurity FUD as much as possible to argue that it won't be long until we're all begging the NSA to spy on us to stop hackers from defacing websites. His big "example" of this is the recent hacking of the NY Times' website by the Syrian Electronic Army. That story got a bit of attention for about two days, and then fell off the map -- which is precisely why Goldsmith is wrong. For all the FUD NSA supporters and big defense contractors keep claiming over cybersecurity, they seem to be unable to get past the fact that when someone hacks a website and defaces it, while it may be a nuisance, no one dies. Yes, they like to talk up how many cybersecurity attacks there are going on these days, but they won't discuss the fact that in all of them exactly zero people have died.
The story of the NY Times hacking disappeared almost as quickly as it happened, because the consequences weren't particularly large or important. Yet, Goldsmith is arguing, effectively, that the NSA needs access to all networks in order to prevent the SEA from hacking the NYT again.
The U.S. government can fully monitor air, space, and sea for potential attacks from abroad. But it has limited access to the channels of cyber-attack and cyber-theft, because they are owned by private telecommunication firms, and because Congress strictly limits government access to private communications. "I can't defend the country until I'm into all the networks," General Alexander reportedly told senior government officials a few months ago.This makes two big assumptions -- one of which is false and the other of which is misleading. The first is that the NSA could or would actually successfully stop such a hack. This is false. Just like the NSA was unable to actually predict the Boston Marathon bombings, the idea that it could somehow catch a simple phishing trick is laughable. Goldsmith goes on at length about "malware" -- which he seems to grant mystical powers to -- but ignores that the reason the NYT's website got hacked was because of social engineering (via someone phishing an employee at a domain registrar), not malware. The NSA isn't going to catch that.
For Alexander, being in the network means having government computers scan the content and metadata of Internet communications in the United States and store some of these communications for extended periods. Such access, he thinks, will give the government a fighting chance to find the needle of known malware in the haystack of communications so that it can block or degrade the attack or exploitation. It will also allow it to discern patterns of malicious activity in the swarm of communications, even when it doesn't possess the malware's signature. And it will better enable the government to trace back an attack's trajectory so that it can discover the identity and geographical origin of the threat.
Secondly, there's the assumption that the NSA will actually "block or degrade the attack or exploitation." This appears to ignore pretty much everything that's come out about the NSA's activities lately, including its regular buying of exploits, placing backdoors in products and security standards, and its general focus on using such things offensively rather than defensively.
Goldsmith just keeps repeating these silly claims with ever grander claims over and over in the piece, as if he repeats it enough, perhaps someone will believe it. Frankly, Goldsmith comes off as an authoritarian-loving lawyer who is almost entirely technologically illiterate. He seems over-awed by the technology and thus insists that (1) the NSA needs to spy on everything to "protect" us and (2) that the government somehow will actually be the best party to protect insecure systems (totally ignoring the fact that the same government actively weakened those same technologies). For example, he goes back to the claim that some computer vandalism will make people open their arms to a spying NSA:
The first is that the cybersecurity threat is more pervasive and severe than the terrorism threat and is somewhat easier to see. If the Times' website goes down a few more times and for longer periods, and if the next penetration of its computer systems causes large intellectual property losses or a compromise in its reporting, even the editorial page would rethink the proper balance of privacy and security. The point generalizes: As cyber-theft and cyber-attacks continue to spread (and they will), and especially when they result in a catastrophic disaster (like a banking compromise that destroys market confidence, or a successful attack on an electrical grid), the public will demand government action to remedy the problem and will adjust its tolerance for intrusive government measures.Except, again, there's little indication that any such attack would shatter people's trust in the market. This seems to presuppose an incredibly stupid populace, not one that can process basic information like "this website was hacked, and it may be inconvenient, but we'll get over it." Ditto the bogeyman of "hacking the electric grid." The NSA has talked up this "electric grid" threat for years and it's bogus. Actual experts have (literally) called such claims "a bunch of hooey." And even if hackers could take down an electric grid for some period of time, we have at least some sense of what will happen, thanks to the Northeast blackout of 2003, which took down a massive section of power in the northeast and midwest. And this was soon after 9/11, so people were especially sensitive to threats of terrorism... and they didn't freak out or destroy society. They waited for things to get sorted out, and people moved on with life. No biggie.
So the whole claim that "the cybersecurity threat is more pervasive and severe than the terrorism threat" is ridiculous.
Goldsmith may want to support his beloved surveillance state, which he personally helped expand a decade ago, but fear mongering is no way to make a compelling argument -- especially when it appears so clueless about the basics of technology and the threats out there.

FoxP2 is currently the only molecule directly linked to a developmental-onset human speech and language disorder and has been implicated as a susceptibility gene for ASD. The fellow will study songbirds to further characterize the role of FoxP2 in vocal communication. Similarities between human speech and birdsong make songbirds a unique model system to test molecules involved in language and social communication using molecular, physiological, and behavioral analyses. By understanding how the normal and mutated forms of these genes and their gene targets operate in animal models like the songbird, this research will contribute to the understanding of neural mechanisms underlying human speech and associated autism spectrum disorders. Results from this study may facilitate the development of therapeutic interventions to treat language and cognitive deficits in ASD and related communication disorders. | Project Status ONGOING 2010 |

I just recently upgraded my i-phone 4 to a galaxy s 3 and it doesn't seem to recognize the device when I plug it into the USB port. Is there anyway around this issue or am I stuck with using aux or blue tooth? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I just recently upgraded my i-phone 4 to a galaxy s 3 and it doesn't seem to recognize the device when I plug it into the USB port. Is there anyway around this issue or am I stuck with using aux or blue tooth? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have the S3. I use Bluetooth. The software isn't compatible to use it as you would an Ipod/Iphone. (As far as I know). Why don't you get a USB key? That way you can fit more music, depending on the size of your key, and it doesn't use battery power when using bluetooth.
Although it is a drawback, it still works.
For the Veloster recognizing the phone as a mass storage device, I am doubtful it would work, but I'm not going to say it's impossible. Only improbable.

You would think the Korean products would play nice...
In all seriousness though, most android devices have a "mass storage mode" or something of the like that be accessed though settings. Your phone basically acts as a flash drive at that point, although I don't know if this would interfere with your phone calls and such. Hope this helps!

The Samsung Galaxy S3 doesn't have a Mass storage mode - it was made to emulate a media device when connected (MTP) or a camera device (PTP).
more information on the protocol is here Media Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
since the veloster is only looking for usb storage or iPod like devices that explains why it is not allowing anything other than blutooth.
for those that are comfortable modifying their phones, you can follow these instructions to enable UMS (USB Mass Storage) mode on the galaxy s3

Walt Disney Pictures produced this ambitious, animated tale of sorcery and swordfighting. Taran (voice of Grant Bardsley), is an assistant to Dallben (voice of Freddie Jones), a pigkeeper in the mythical land of Prydain.
Taran longs to be a knight, and he's given his chance to live out his dream when he is sent out in search of a magical black cauldron which can either be a powerful instrument of good or a bottomless fount of evil, depending entirely upon who should find it.
However, Taran is not the only one in search of this talisman -- the Horned King (voice of John Hurt) wants the cauldron to shore up his sinister powers and raise an army of the dead, and with the help of the all-seeing pig Hen-Wren, the wicked one may make his hideous plans a reality.
The Black Cauldron had the distinction of being the first animated feature from Disney to receive a PG rating from the MPAA, due to some frightening scenes of black magic.

Best Horror Movies of the Decade
Here are the lone standouts:
Let the Right One In - the vampire tale finally told from a personal perspective. Quiet, reflective and chilling to the bone.
The Ring - the best of J-Horror transferred to the states. A compelling ghost riddle with a great ending.
The Devil's Backbone - Del Torro's haunting ghost story.
The Orphanage - another foreign language pitch-perfect ghost story.
The Host - the best monster movie in a long time. Great characters - a fun ride. What Cloverfield and Monsters wanted to be.
The Mist - best Stephen King adaptation since Shawshank. Builds up gradual tension and then crashes you with a brutal Lovecraftian ending.
Drag Me to Hell - Raimi returns to his manic Evil Dead roots, but with a more toned-down approach. Fun, funny, scary and always entertaining.
28 Days Later - Danny Boyle's brilliant zombie reboot for the 21st century.
Saw - yes, it launched a torrent of horrible torture porn, but as a standalone low-budget horror movie Saw remains as a great example of what you can do with minimal sets, a couple actors and one nasty idea.
Paranormal Activity - lots of haters with this one, but I loved the setup and bought most of it - except for the flaming Ouija board - ok, that was kinda silly.
Let's see, a top ten list where 5 out of the 10 are foreign made (remember, 28 Days Later is British), another one (The Ring) is a remake of a Japanese film and two of the American-made movies were indie films, far from the mainstream studio system. Really, a pitiful showing from Hollywood, where dollar signs led them to blindly rehash old favorites in a desperate attempt to generate revenue - instead of developing great new horror talents.
It's obvious the foreign and indie markets will continue to drive this genre.
The best of the rest:
The Mothman Prophecies
Trick 'r Treat
The Last Exorcism
5 comments:
I've seen almost all of these and I have to say the scariest film I've seen this decade was 28 Weeks Later. The subtle nihilism in that film is haunting on an existential level. 28 Days later I found really boring and more cerebral than visceral. There's something about Danny Boyle's filmmaking that I find just lifeless.
Let the Right One In is possibly best film in general from what I've seen here. The scary monster in that film is actually the unknown facts of life, hiding right around the corner.I like this list. I think 28 Days Later is a far better film than 28 Weeks. Where 28 Days focused on character and building tension, 28 Weeks strived to kill more and more zombies with more blood and hammer you with political messages. That scene where everyone is crammed into the basement is genius though...And The Host I would have to agree is the best monster movie I have seen in a long time.

Bamboo offers a cool new way to log on
We've become so accustomed to seeing plastic computer keyboards that the first glimpse of the bamboo keyboards and mice from a company called Impecca will probably startle you — in a good way. That's because they look so sleek and contemporary: They are items you can imagine fitting in with the Zen d�cor of your apartment or wherever else you work and surf the Web. Plus, the tactile sensation of tapping on wood feels so much better than plastic. Available in a natural bamboo hue, a wired version of the keyboard and mouse costs $80. Operating on a 2.4GHz frequency, the wireless version of the keyboard and mouse costs about $100 and is available in four colors: natural, cherry, mahogany and walnut.
You will dig this Mummy
A new line of protective cases for the iPhone certainly comes with a catchy name: "The Mummy." But if you think about it, the name is apt: It's a protective covering for something you treasure, at least in this life. In essence, the cases from developer Loop Attachment snugly sheath your iPhone and do double-duty as a credit card/ID holder. Made from a squishy silicone material, the case has a variety of cross hatches that keep your cards in place without totally covering the back of your phone. Available for the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 4/4S, the cases cost $25 each.
When it comes to recharging, think small
It's great that we have been able to move away from the days when the chargers for your electronic gizmos used to take up half the space in your backpack: The age of miniaturization is here and Ventev ups the options with a variety of compact chargers sporting a sleek black finish. A few tempting examples: Slim enough to tuck into a shirt pocket, the Wallport e1100 charger has a pull-out plug for an electrical outlet and a USB port for charging a device. It costs $20. Need to quickly charge two devices at once? Priced at $30, the fast-working Wallport r2200 has two USB ports for charging two gadgets at the same time. The Dashport r1200 mini, provides quick charges in the car for $20. All three models also can be purchased with a variety of charging cables for $25 to $40. Want a charger that works at home and in the car? The Utilitycharger 2100 can be plugged into an electrical outlet as well as a car adapter. It costs $40.
Seamlessly share your pics
Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the Nikon COOLPIX S6500 camera makes it easy to share uploaded pictures and HD videos with friends and family. Using a wireless app, you can wirelessly transmit photos to smartphones, tablets and other compatible devices. The slim 16-megapixel camera also sports a 12x optical zoom and a 3-inch color display. Don't like what you see? Retouch editing tools let you reduce dark circles under eyes, whiten yellow teeth, brighten skin tones and redden cheeks with a digital "blush."

The AIA the USGBC have named the second Architecture for Humanity Sustainability Design Fellow. Burtland Granvil, AIA, will succeed the first Architecture for Humanity Design Fellow in Haiti, Stacey McMahan, AIA. As the fellow, Granvil will work at Architecture for Humanity's rebuilding center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which focuses on rebuilding efforts from the Jan. 12, 2010 earthquake that devastated the country.
One goal of the fellowship is to provide leadership to make sure that Haitian rebuilding efforts include key principles of green building such as high performance, structural integrity, high energy and water efficiency, and better ventilation. "The earthquake didn't take as many lives as the poor quality of construction did," Granvil says. Among Granvil's responsibilities will be to provide tools and training for safe and sustainable construction to mitigate similar building failures in the future. He will provide these to both the informal and formal trades—by increasing local professional capacity through training and assistance.
Granvil has over 10 years of experience, mainly in construction administration of various educational projects. His role in Haiti also expands to include guiding Architecture for Humanity Haiti interns and volunteers through the Intern Development Program process.
More information Architecture for Humanity's rebuilding efforts in Haiti can be found online at http://architectureforhumanity.org/updates/2011-01-10-bati-byen-rebuilding-in-haiti-2012-annual-report. In addition, the AIA recently reported on community design and rebuilding efforts on the two year anniversary of the earthquake: http://www.aia.org/practicing/AIAB092290.

I normally really like Hilary Duff's style, she's definitely been rocking a glam look lately, but I don't think I'm liking this outfit too much.
I think she looks stunning in everything but the shorts. I just don't think I would pair a faded pair of denim cut-offs – button fly at that – with a jacket and heels.
Hilary was spotted hitting an ATM before shopping at Neiman Marcus today. She does have killer legs though – seems all those trips to the gym have been paying off!

Hundreds of engineers from across the world have combined their experience and expertise to design the world's largest floating offshore facility. It will be used to help open up new natural gas fields at sea that are currently considered too costly or difficult to develop.
Shell is a pioneer in liquefied natural gas (LNG). Chilling gas to -162° Celsius (-260° Fahrenheit) turns it into liquid and shrinks its volume by 600 times, allowing it to be shipped to far-off towns and cities where the energy is needed.
We have five decades of experience in the LNG industry. Moving the production and processing out to sea where the gas is found is a major innovation that brings huge new energy resources within reach.
It also avoids the potential environmental impact of constructing and operating a plant on land, including laying pipelines to shore and building other infrastructure.
The first site to use Shell's FLNG will be the Prelude gas field, 200 kilometres (around 125 miles) off Australia's north-west coast. The construction phase of the Prelude FLNG project is well under way.
"This is revolutionary technology developed by Shell," says Neil Gilmour, Shell Vice President Integrated Gas Development. "It has the potential to change the way we produce natural gas."
The Prelude FLNG facility will produce at least 5.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of liquids: 3.6 mtpa of LNG – enough to easily satisfy Hong Kong's annual natural gas needs – 0.4 mtpa of liquefied petroleum gas and 1.3 mtpa of condensate (equivalent to 35,000 bbl/d).

Rating Speedy and somewhat frenetic. Not at all what I imagined. These selections might be more appropriately titled "Increase Nervousness". By contrast ... the Weil CD "Relax and De-Stress" was stunning and magnificent.

Vancouver Family-Friendly Walking Tour is a 6.6 mile out and back trail located near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and scenic driving and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
scenic driving
Vancouver is kid friendly. Take in one of the many shows at the aquarium in Stanley Park, walk across the Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver, or take the miniature train in Stanley Park. But no place in the city offers a compact collection of attractions as you'll find in Vanier Park and nearby Granville Island. It is within easy walking or bus or cab distance of downtown, on the south shore of False Creek just a short walk west of Granville Island and on the eastern edge of Kitsilano. While the park embraces a wide range of activities and places to explore, it is also a fun place for families who want to fly kites or for those who just want a great view of the city's shoreline. It is also where you'll find the Vancouver Space Museum and H.R. MacMillan Planetarium, the Vancouver Museum (located in the Macmillan complex), the Gordon Southam Observatory, the Vancouver Maritime Museum and St. Roch, and the Vancouver Academy of Music. In addition it's the site of two major annual events - the Bard On The Beach Shakespeare summer festival and the International Children's Festival. Named for the former Governor General of Canada, George Vanier, the park opened in 1967 after former lumber baron H.R. MacMillan donated $1.5 million for the construction of a planetarium that opened a year later. Several of the attractions are named after MacMillan.

SAT Tip: Tricky Vocabulary Questions
This tip on improving your SAT score was provided by Vivian Kerr at Veritas Prep.
It happens all too often in the critical reading section of the SAT. A student gets to a vocabulary-in-context question: In line 18, what does the word want mean?
And the student immediately thinks, "Hey, I know this word! A 'want' is a noun describing something we desire to possess or buy, such as an iPhone or a ticket to see Lady Gaga in concert."
Scanning the answer choices, the student sees the following options:
A. desire
B. hegemonize
C. lack
D. engender
E. cue
Our student chooses (A) quickly and moves on to the next question, only to find out later that (A) was incorrect. But how can this be? It seems like such an easy question!
On SAT reading comprehension passages, questions that ask about the meaning of specific words and phrases are called "vocabulary in context" questions. They are not called "vocabulary definition" questions, because the question is not asking you for the most common dictionary definition of the word. Instead, it's asking only for how the word is used in the context of the passage.
English words often have many meanings, common and esoteric. A commonly used word often takes on a secondary definition within SAT passages. Do not assume that the common meaning is the correct answer; there may be several meanings you do not know. Go back to the passage and see how the word is being used in context. Here the word "want" comes from Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare:
A thousand times the worse to want thy light.
Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
Is Romeo saying it would be a thousand times worse to desire Juliet's light? We know he loves Juliet, so it doesn't make sense that he would say to desire her is "worse." So what other logical meaning might there be? It's most reasonable that he is saying it would be worse to lose or be separated from Juliet's light, so want, in this context must mean something like "lose" or "not have."
Armed with that knowledge, we know that the correct answer here is (C). A secondary definition for "to want" is "to lack." For a different passage, (A) might have been correct. The takeaway: On SAT reading comprehension passages, dictionaries don't define, context does.

Thermaltake Spacecraft VF-I Computer Case |
Reviews - Featured Reviews: Cases | |||||||
Written by Steven Iglesias-Hearst | |||||||
Wednesday, 21 September 2011 | |||||||
Page 3 of 5
Closer Look: InteriorOnwards with our journey now, time to go inside and see what's good or not. Removing the side panels from the Spacecraft VF-I was not easy to say the least, I thought they were secured elsewhere but they are just on really tight. Replacing them is much the same and is a right pain in the backside, it's these sort of things that can give a company a bad name.. The interior of the Spacecraft VF-I is quite basic as interiors go. Simple screws to secure your expansion cards, simple plastic tool free drive mounts and a very minimal amount of metal used to construct the chassis. It looks like a cheap case in person but actually feels quite solid to handle and work with. You have room for CPU coolers up to 168mm tall and video cards up to 320mm long and room for a 120.2 (240mm) watercooling radiator in the roof. When you look at how close the 120mm exhaust fan is to the top and the side of the chassis you get a good idea of how tight it is going to be inside the case when installing your hardware, in this case it is going to be rather tight up at the top end but if you install your CPU cooler and it's fans beforehand you won't have so much of a problem in this department. In the back there is enough metal to allow us to hide our wires out of the way, due to the lack of cable routing cut-outs and the fact that the left edge of the motherboard tray is turned and actually stands 6mm proud negates any space that there is back here, normally you would have a hole to pass through your 24-pin and VGA power cables but we will have to be creative to overcome this little obstacle. Where there are no obstructions you get 12mm of clearance to route cables, add to that the clearance you get from the raised area of the side panel and you get approximately 18~20mm for cable routing. The front panel pops off real easy and gives you access to remove the filtered 5.25" ODD covers and the external 3.5 inch cover, you also get access to the removable front air intake filter. You may notice that there is no fan installed in the front, there is only one fan installed in this case and that is at the rear as an exhaust. I think I would have preferred intake to exhaust, still it's only four screws away from rear to front I guess. The PSU area has a slightly raised part that allows your PSU to sit off the bottom of the case but there are no type of anti vibration mounts in sight. |
But then again, for £50 you could do far worse in terms of functionality.

(Not really. It takes nearly three hours to get from Harrison to Bangor — or about as long as from Moosehorn Crossing.)
While those on the county's frontier gripe about being forced to pay for a facility that provides little benefit to their towns, they seem to be missing the point. The problem here is not with the civic center being in Portland. It's with the way the county is configured to include municipalities with nothing in common.
In 2010, a think tank called Envision Maine issued a report calling the state's counties "peculiar creatures" and suggesting their number be reduced from 16 to eight. Not bad, but even with Envision's new lines, Harrison would still be lumped in with Portland, and Moosehorn Crossing would be linked with Bangor.
A better approach would be to abolish county government altogether. Transfer its few functions to the state (thereby ending the awkward bifurcated responsibility for county jails) and allow municipalities to form whatever regional alliances seemed appropriate to them.
Bureaucracy would be reduced.
Property taxes would go down.
Accountability of elected officials would increase.
Beer would be cheaper.
OK, I made that last one up. But there's no doubt that eliminating counties would mean the decision about whether there's to be blackjack in Bangor or luxury boxes for hockey games in Portland would be up to the taxpayers most impacted by those issues.
And whoever's in Moosehorn Crossing could go back to worrying about . . . I dunno . . . moose?

The people closest to great players are the ones who like to look past the physical talents and deeper into what constitutes that greatness.
So as Martin Biron sat in his stall yesterday morning at the Rangers practice facility in Westchester, the backup goalie waxed poetic about the man in front of him on the depth chart, Henrik Lundqvist.
"I always say the most impressive thing is not what he does physically, but his focus and readiness," said Biron, who was set to make his 15th start of the season last night against the Blackhawks at the Garden. "His preparation and his ability to focus are just amazing."

Even though I'm still getting tomatoes from the garden, I am fully embracing the fact tomorrow is the official start of fall. In the past week, it's really started feeling like fall too–it's a little bit cooler out and the days are most definitely shorter. And now eating apples and pumpkin and winter squash no longer feels like jumping the gun. It's fall!
Here's what I ate this week:
Super Easy Baked Apple Chips // Seriously, you need one ingredient. Just one! Or two if you want cinnamon on your chips. Like most things, homemade apple chips are so much tastier than the kind you buy and so easy to make too. Check out my post on Henry Happened to find out how!
Acorn Squash Stuffed with Chard & White Beans // I used roasted acorn and sweet dumpling squash to make these and because I don't like white beans, I used edamame instead. Which was a little bit weird. But still better than white beans! I also got distracted by Facebook and burned these a little when they were broiling. Oops. But they were really good!
Honeycrisp Apple + Maple Almond Butter // This week on my Facebook page I asked you all what your favorite varieties of apples are. A lot of you are fellow Honeycrisp fans, so yay for that! (Pink Lady are a close second for me.) I love these little maple almond butter packets and they were on sale at the grocery store this week, so I picked up a few to have with apples as an afternoon snack.
Braised Broccolini // This definitely doesn't need to cook as long as the recipe says (as you can see from my overcooked broccolini), but it turned out much better than my previous broccoli braising experience. A nice, simple side dish.
Spaghetti Squash with Walnuts, Basil & Sun-Dried Tomatoes // This is an adaptation of the pasta lunch I made a few weeks ago–I used roasted spaghetti squash instead of rotini and I tossed it with 2 teaspoons of lemon-infused olive oil, homemade sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, a tablespoon of chopped walnuts, and some Parmesan cheese. My new favorite lunch!

White House website deluged with secession petitions from 20 states
How would Old Glory look with 30 stars instead of 50? As far-fetched as it may sound, the White House might soon be forced by its own rules to examine the question.
On Nov.7, the day after President Barack Obama was re-elected, the White House's website received a petition asking the administration to allow Louisiana to secede.
If 25,000 people sign the petition by Dec. 7, it will "require a response" from the Obama administration, according to published rules of the White House's online "We the People" program.
The Louisiana petition has collected more than 12,300 signatures in four days. A separate effort from Texas has 15,400 supporters.
Similar petitions from 18 other states began arriving Nov. 9, bringing the total — for the moment — to 20.
The White House website publicly displays petitions that have attracted at least 150 signers.
TEXAS petition reaches 25,000 signatures. White House must now review and respond.
These are the "Terms of Participation" as detailed in the "We the People" site at whitehouse.gov:
The White House will respond to petitions submitted through We the People that comply with these Terms of Participation and reach the second signature threshold listed below. Petitions on We the People must meet the first signature threshold in order to be publicly searchable on WhiteHouse.gov. Petitions that do not meet these signature thresholds will be removed from the site after the time limit has expired. The White House may elect to respond to petitions at any time, including those that have not crossed the first or second threshold.
To avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition.
The White House reserves the right to change the time limits and signature thresholds and apply them to petitions created after the change has been published to this "Current thresholds" section:
To cross the first threshold and be searchable within WhiteHouse.gov, a petition must reach 150 signatures within 30 days.
To cross the second threshold and require a response, a petition must reach 25,000 signatures within 30 days.
The Terms of Participation were updated on December 6, 2011.

Razer's crammed an extra button onto each shoulder, which can be mapped using the switches on the back of the controller, and warped the traditional trigger into something the swoops out much further, reminding me of extra-long fingernails. The sticks feel a bit too tall, a consequence of the twist-and-click dial for adjusting how hard you have to click on the joystick button. The D-pad is great, on par with the special one on Mad Catz's SFIV pad. It's clear after playing some Halo ODST, though, that the new configuration would take some getting used to, even though the shape of the controller is as good as Microsoft's own.
