Chris -- 2018-04-11
It seems to me that a lot of suggestions aren't making it onto the database, or are only doing so quite slowly. I mean to do more, but it's quite a laborious process, and who's to say that anyone agrees with my choice of which ones to do?
It occurs to me that maybe there should be some sort of eggcorn approval system – either a simple java thumbs system like at Urban Dictionary
or a more formal system of peer approval such as at Rate Your Music
where only registered members can vote.
Adrian, while I've always accepted that some formal qualification in language/linguistics is probably necessary for our gatekeepers, I've often had great difficulty in understanding some of the choices they've made and the grounds for their inclusion. In addition, none, with the exception of yourself, seem to be regular contributers, so I can only applaud your proposal and hope that it may yield something useful…
I've been wondering if any of my submissions would ever make it in. :(
Here's one I don't understand. What is the supposed imagery?
When I saw that, and saw that comments were disabled, I was wondering why, and I wonder if maybe one thing that could be done is to keep comments active… let entries always be under discussion instead of carved in stone… because you can never tell what new information will come to light. Its possible that a non-eggcornish explanation for the usage will be made clear by some new discovery.
By my count, there are over 200 solid eggcorns in the Forum—maybe far more depending on one's standards. One criterion which seemed reasonable to me was Google counts (or even an eggcorn-to-idiom ratio)—but we really haven't been keeping that close track. In lieu of that, there are a few eggcorn contenders that get entered into the Forum again and again by independent observers. This might be a logical source for the next few entries…
Laxadaisical—8 or more independent posts
Curve/Curb—6 or more independent posts
Easedropping—4 independent posts
Beyond that, it's so hard to choose favorites because there's so much good stuff out there. One thing that truly impressed me was the occasional eggcorn where more than one word takes on a new sense. Here are a couple that come to mind…
Crap chute vs. Crap shoot
Tough road to hold vs. Tough row to hoe
Beyond that? I guess I'd pick the ones with the strongest and most believable imagery—but that's completely subjective, and we all have our favorites! I'd be willing to offer up a prioritized list as part of Dadge's suggestion for a peer review. (I think one other eggcornista might also be working on such a list).

All right, I was wondering at what point I'd have a forum rebellion on my hands.
Adrian—it is probably good you're bringing this out in the open. I also owe you an email, and both the issue you raised there (finally editing that impossible intro text) and here are touching on the same matter.
The reason for the slowness of new entries on the main database is very simple: Availability of myself, as an "enterer", but also as the gardener who takes care of the back-end, responds to hosting and display emergencies etc., and of Arnold Zwicky and Ben Zimmer—both have busy professional and personal lives. None of us is getting anything but informal recognition out of this work, and there are situations in life when we have to cut down radically on what one can do: I've just been through about more than a year of that, and you will be able to imagine that in some situations the inability to update a hobby site, however beloved, pales behind other worries.
So my first thing is to say I'm sorry.
But as far as I am concerned, this is in fact getting better. Over the last month I've managed to back through the forums and pursued links to assess how bad the situation is—and started entering again, after a long hiatus.
All three, laxadaisical, curve/curb and maybe easedropping (I'm not feeling I have a good grasp on this one yet) are on my "to be done immediately " list, simply because the forum entries receive a lost of search engine hits, which shows that people out there are interested in these. The number of 200 good eggcorns in the forums does not look far off the mark. If I sometimes enter other eggcorns, not suggested in the forums, first, this happens because they aren't mentioned in the forums: at least yours are not going to get lost! They are searchable, findable, documented. And yes, many of them should be in the main ECDB, but consider: outside the forums, Arnold Zwicky has a backlog of hundreds, and mine is not much shorter.
One of the things I did a while ago was disabling the comments after spam/CPU complaints from my web hoster. There are other "features" of the site that are the way they are simply because they need fixing.
I have to run right now, but I will revisit this thread tonight to talk further what your wishes are about what to do first:
P.S.: "jive" for "jibe" seems unproblematic to me. The dance?
No rebellion, Chris! I'm just looking for a way to make it easier for people like me to do some of the work. After all, the database is a kind of wiki, so in theory anyone can add "their" eggcorns to the main page. And yet, for various reasons, people are hardly doing it.
I just sent an Email to Chris stating my top 50 preferences, so heads up Chris. (Just to give others an idea of evenhandedness: I originated 100-150 eggcorns in the Forum, but included only 11 of my own in the list I submitted). Others poster are welcome to submit their own preference list. The main criteria that I used were these: How credible is the eggcorn? and How widespread is the eggcorn?
Personally, I prefer the notion of gatekeepers (Chris, Adrian, others) reviewing the eggcorns before they enter the Database. That helps to maintain high-quality content and a more uniform format.
On reflection, I agree. If there was a free-for-all**, some entries would have to be removed, which might hurt people's feelings.
It still might be a good idea for visitors to be able to vote on the accepted entries in the database—it could be trialled at least—and maybe the entries could then be listed in popularity order.
Meanwhile, if someone emails me a list of ten undone eggcorns, I'd be delighted to do some database-updating. (The eggcorning procedure is a bit scary, but once I've done a couple it gets easier. :-) Adrian
**As soon as I wrote this, I thought this must be eggcornable, and sure enough, there are plenty of "three for all"s and a few "free far all"s, "fee for all"s and "free four all"s out there. (Maybe a more difficult challenge would be to find an expression that has never been mislearned or mistyped…)
I agree with Jorkel about holding on to a small group of gatekeepers with linguistic training. I was a member of the Forum back when the Database was still set up as a Wiki. (A few longtime members still seem to be able to post Contributions to the Database itself, but the final contribute button seems to be disabled for most members.) I didn't think the level of contributions was all that high—a lot of things got into the Database that shouldn't have.
I suspect that I currently have clearance to enter things in the Database, but I've purposely avoided it because I really think Chris/Ben/Arnold should have some kind of input on all articles in order to maintain consistency.
After the wiki capacity was largely disabled, the contributions started reflecting (what I interpret to be) Chris's vision a lot more closely, and they were just plain better in respecting the criteria of eggcornicity. I know a few of the regulars have raised questions about some of the recent entries made by Profs. Zimmer and Zwicky, but Ben and Arnold also have tons of excellent articles in the Database. So I think the more recent system is necessary to ensure quality and a consistency of vision. But, yes, quantity needs desperately to be worked on. I think we'll be hearing more soon.
In addition to the three frequently-entered eggcorns I mentioned earlier, here are a few more…
labtop (3 or 4 mentions)
heat sync (3 or 4 mentions)
Old-timers disease
chalkful (questionable?)
cowtow (questionable?)
These aren't necessarily the most interesting entries in the Forum, but they keep coming up, so it's bound to make a few people happy to promote them. (I left them off my Top 50 list because they'd make in into the Database via the frequent-post route instead).
I'm guessing that Chis will be the point person for our recommendations, and she could shuttle them to Adrian after enough input reaches her. In respect to all, I don't want to appear to be making unilateral decisions here. I'm just trying to make helpful suggestions, and hope others will provide input too.
1. Ah, I hadn't realised that most visitors don't have the ability to add to the database. (I suddenly feel quite honoured that I'm able to.) So sztorno re some of my previous remarks. (Sztorno is a great Hungarian word that means "Back to square one" or "ignore" or etc. – I guess it must come from another language – is it Latin?)
2. "Cowtow" is definitely a bit iffy. I enjoyed finding a few "cow-towned"s though. A
First of all thanks to everyone. When my life became a bit too convoluted and I left this forum to fend for itself, I wouldn't have thought that you'd still be around after so much time, and have organised into a community. As far as I'm concerned, you have every right to rebel (gently).
Pat is right in his description of what went with the main site a bit over a year ago: posting had been left wide open to everyone, and unfortunately many didn't bother thinking about the quality of their contributions and just put them on the main site. The very rough posting interface certainly didn't help. At the same time, Arnold's and Ben's entries and I hope mine, had implicitly set a minimum quality standard. This is why I closed off posting to all new subscribers, and out of the old, only left it to those who had previously written high-quality entries.
The forum, however, can deal with and refine partial and tentative submissions.
I received a number of thoughtful emails, and will get to them (and to individual eggcorns) one by one.
As far as I can tell, two priorities are coming up again and again:
a) finding an organised way of turning the forum eggcorns into ECDB entries, one by one, starting with the best of the best (and we have the embarrassment of choice)
b) getting the comments on individual entries back
There is a third, less visible hight priority-item, tied in with b):
c) upgrading the backend
c) is blocking much good thing that would be possible on the front end, like more user-friendly comments.There is also a security concern, given that the core software is old and probably vulnerable to PHP exploit. Which reminds me that the forum (PunBB) needs upgrading, too. c) might well include reorgansising the data structure and writing a more user-friendly entry form.
To be continued …
what I wish is that the comments weren't shut off on so my of the entries. (unless there's some trick to posting comments?)

Hi All,
As a relative noob to the wacky world of eggcornology, I'd like to commend Chris and all the eggcornistas for their expertise and hard work. This database and forum is truly a gem for us word nerds. I would concur with Peter; however, that some contributions seem ushered into the database straight away while others that I feel merit entry or at least further research and commentary slip away. I sometimes feel my contribution is waiting in line at an exclusive night club with a door person who lets certain words jump the line while the vast majority are left in limbo because they mysteriously don't make the cut. I have a few questions and suggestions (if I may be so bold):
*Just what are the criteria for inclusion in the database? I think it would be quite useful to have a set of criteria posted on the forum; members can check their contribution against this list before posting, and we can be reasonably assured that it has high probability of being a true eggcorn and not a faux ami. For example, perhaps a contribution must meet say 3 of 5 criteria before it can be submitted for discussion? I don't wish to discourage people from submitting; I enjoy the discussions and debate, but posting clear cut criteria may cut down on the volume of submissions that really miss the mark and mitigate the problem of people feeling discouraged that their contributions simply fade away or don't matter.
*Who makes the ultimate decision to elevate the word from contribution to true eggcorn? Chris, this can't all fall on your shoulders. Maybe there's a way to tap into University Linguistics Departments and form informal partnerships wherein graduate students participate in making the final call and/or are assigned responsibility to follow a set number of contributions to ensure that the ensuing discussions come to a close. That is, it would be nice to know with some finality whether your submission makes it or not; we learn from this.
*Is there a way or place to announce or "christen" new eggcorns? This may take care of members wondering whatever happened to their submissions.
*Just how does one become an eggcornista?
Thanks for letting me step on the soapbox for a spell. I formed an eggcorn group on Facebook that has around 30 members, mainly linguists; it's not hugely active, but we connect out to the Eggcorn database and relevant sites. I'd like to see more activity there, so if acceptable, I may "borrow" some of your criteria or ideas.
Every family has a few questions that aren't supposed to be asked around the dinner table. "Who was it who lived in the attic when I was a kid?" "Why don't you ever talk about your earlier marriages?" "What was grampa doing in the Ukraine in 1951?" "Is it true I have three siblings I've never met?" You just asked a bunch of ours.
Well, I'm kidding to a degree. It's not so much that there are things we won't talk about—rather, we've sort of decided that talking about them amongst ourselveselves doesn't get us anywhere—there are too many eggcorns that need to be hunted down in the meantime.
There's a very basic problem on this site. The three people who are supposed to be evaluating entries from the forum and entering them into the database simply haven't done much of that in quite some time. Members of the forum have made a number of suggestions—both here, and in emails to Chris—about rectifying the situation. Nothing's happened. My own emails have gone unanswered, as have those of others. I don't know why, and I obviously don't want to speculate. And as Ken Lakritz has noted, setting up the Database and Forum was so much work that one feels a bit ungrateful suggesting that Chris should do more work in addition. However, the idea of getting the gruntwork done by volunteers so that it could be evaluated/tweaked by Chris or others seems like a good one to me—it was among the things suggested last summer—and I really hope a way of managing it can be found.
Personally, I'd prefer not to see criteria imposed on posting to the forum. Yes, I wish a lot more things just got posted to the "Slips" page. But the forum really is our sandbox, and I think people should feel welcome to grab a shovel and start playing the second they stumble upon us. Some people are going to go away immediately when we tell them, "No, that's not an eggcorn." But Chris's original idea was that the people who really cared would start to pick up the basics from others' comments, and then apply them. That still seems like a good principle to me. And we have had newcomers argue vehemently that contributions that clearly didn't seem like eggcorns to the vets really did fit whatever criteria the vets laid out. And those noobies have generally gone away. So a list of criteria really might just provide a different set of things to be unhappy about for some people.
Still, it's a little weird that we haven't yet formulated a short list of criteria that can be posted under Eggcornology somewhere. We've hashed out the basics many times. The original and the eggcorn should a) sound very similar, b) mean roughly the same thing in the same context, c) not be obviously related etymologically. And perhaps most importantly, the eggcorn should introduce a new set of imagery that seems to refer on some level to the meaning of the original word. But we disagree sharply on how to define all of those criteria. And I'm sure there are things I'm forgetting. Maybe hashing out such a list would be a good collective project for the summer. What's a good number of criteria? I've got 4 above, but some of those might be deleted, added to, split, etc. I don't think that more than, say, 10 would be helpful. But could all of us agree on a definitive wording? And would the Database gatekeepers concur with our conclusions? Anyone want to take a first shot at starting such a thread under Eggcornology—with the understanding, of course, that we'll all fall upon the prototype like a bunch of piranhas?
The "eggcornista" label is automatic—when you've made 50 posts, it appears next to your name. It can be reset to reflect any number. 50 seemed like a good goalpost back when Ken, David Fishbait, Craig, Adrian and I seemed to be the only regulars and there were only a few posts a week. These days, some people attain 50 in a few weeks.
I'm not sure I've responded to everything, but I need to do some work I'm paid for sometime today. I'm sure others are responding even as I type, though.
I have always had in my mind as a criterion
It should be standard for at least some speaker(s).
Thus, if I were to accidentally say "as a matter of fat", or "kurdos to John Smith", or "proceed by try all on air" it wouldn't be an eggcorn, but if that's how somebody always said it, it would have a good chance, even if you couldn't document it with many ghits. (We forget what a luxury search engines and the Internet are.)

*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,

Yes, that's right, the intentionality thing has to be in there—gotta rule out puns, spontaneous production errors, etc.
DT, you and I have already gotten in trouble once today for hijacking a thread, so we should probably get around to moving this to Eggcornology under a title like "Draft Eggcorn Criteria" or some such thing. Formulating the criteria might not be so bad, but providing a list of model eggcorns might get really interesting.

Over the course of his long, storied, and continuing career, Paul Naschy has done his best to portray as many of the Classic Monsters as possible. He's put in memorable turns as The Devil, a Warlock, a Hunchback, a Zombie, Mr. Hyde, The Mummy, Jack the Ripper, and of course the Wolf Man in one of the most memorable and entertaining werewolf sagas in cinematic history. He was even a sort of pseudo-Frankenstein's monster in Crimson--if he could work in an invisible alien Gillman ghost somehow, I think he will have hit for the cycle. And of course he also gave it a go as the King of the Undead in this 1974 effort, Count Dracula's Great Love (aka Cemetery Girls).
The result is a film that even I, a hardened Naschy-phile if ever there was one, have to admit is problematic. There's a lot here that had me cheering and grinning like and eedjit--an inventive if convoluted twist on the vampire mythology, some hugely entertaining vampire-seduction and monster-battle scenes, and a level of beautiful bare flesh that's pleasingly high, even for the Mighty Molina. But the movie suffers from pacing problems all the way through, and somewhere toward the end gets bogged down in ponderous voice-over and energy-challenged plotting from which it never fully recovers. The final product, while still worthy of your 90 minutes, has to be ranked as one of Naschy's lesser efforts by even his most fervent worshipers.
Even a lesser Naschy effort has its pleasures, however, and Count Dracula's Great Love is no exception. We open with two workmen delivering a large box to the basement of the "Klinik de Cargos," an abandoned sanitarium near the infamous Borgo Pass that is about to be reopened by the mysterious Dr. Wendell Marlow. The two men prove themselves as unscrupulous as such characters always are, and quickly open the crate to discover a coffin with a fanged female skeleton inside! (You can tell it's female from the luxurious head of hair.) Not long afterward a mysterious caped figure attacks, ripping the throat out of one would-be robber and burying an axe in the other's head, sending him rolling down the stairs--an image repeated in slow-mo, again and again, under the opening credits. I don't know why Dracula is axing people, but the effect is actually quite good, as you can see.
Vic Winner (Horror Rises from the Tomb, Vengeance of the Zombies, Hunchback of the Morgue) as Imre, Rosanna Yanni (Frankenstein's Bloody Terror, Hunchback of the Morgue) as tall sensuous sex-kitten Senta, and Mirta Miller (Dr. Jekyll and the Wolf Man, Vengeance of the Zombies) as nervous comic relief Elke. Also along are Naschy Newbies Ingrid Garbo as Imre's beautiful and not-quite-virginal girlfriend Marlene, and Haydée Politoff as the totally virginal good-girl Karen.
Imre spends his time regaling the girls with a brief summary of Stoker's novel, as well as the intriguing backstory of the nearby sanitarium's previous owner, who was something of a mad phlebotomist. I forget where these travelers are headed and why they're all going there together, but it becomes a moot point when a wheel goes flying off the stagecoach bringing their trek to a halt. In the aftermath the stagecoach driver (who is hilariously dubbed with a Gunsmoke's Festus-style accent--he may be in Transylvania, but he's still driving a stagecoach!) gets kicked in the head by one of the horses after they're spooked by that famous sampled wolf howl. The horses escape and run off into the woods, stranding our heroes. (If you see the animals still harnessed to the coach in the very next scene, ignore it--it's an optical illusion.)
Of course at that point there's nothing to be done except for Imre to lead his four emissaries of bonneted hotness up to the sanitarium, in the hopes that the new owner will lend a hand. Of course Dr. Marlow is at home, and he is none other than Paul Naschy himself. He opens the door dressed in a smart suit and bearing a candelabra, and wastes no time extending his hospitality to the women IYKWIM. Despite being quite alone in the mansion, Paul is the picture of suave sophistication, and invites them all to stay with him for a few days until the next supply wagon comes through.
Once in their bedroom and sporting some thoroughly modern nightgowns, Senta and Elke start the expected slumber party girl-talk. Elke claims not to be interested in Marlow because "I like my men slimmer." "Not me," Senta asserts. "I like my men STRONG. Did you see his shoulders?" Elke tut-tuts her friend's sluttiness. "You'd flirt with a broom if it had pants!" As if that were a bad thing.
Over the next few nights strange things begin to happen around the mansion. Dr. Marlow never seems to be around during the day (he claims to be out "hunting"), and never sits down to dine with the group. Not ones to let such things bother them too much, the girls set about being as awesomely slutty as possible. Imre and Marlene get it on quite energetically every chance they get, and the other girls (with the exception of Karen) get naked at the drop of a bonnet as well--even skinny-dipping in the sanatorium's pool in one memorable scene. Karen keeps her kit on but does get a couple of nice spotlights herself, as when she opens the door to a mysterious room only to have a stage hand launch a black cat at her, or later when the now-vampirized worker attacks her in the middle of a storm! Paul comes to the rescue and sends the vampire scurrying, but tells the rest of the group Karen simply fainted. It's almost as if he's got something to hide...
Left to their own devices during the daytime, the girls start snooping, and soon Senta discovers the Book of the Film and lets us in on Paul's interesting but over-complicated re-imagining of the Dracula mythos:
"...Dracula is immortal--he is a sadistic beast, and what's more, a devil that follows Man wherever he may go. It's possible for us to destroy his carnal existence; the devilish perversity that exists in Dracula will reincarnate itself. Once more, terror and death for all of us, and for all humanity!... I'm also afraid that his cruel daughter Rodna will return in the same way..from her ashes will generate a new Dracula. Therefore, each generation will know a Dracula in a completely new form, a thousand times more perverse than the ones before!"
While the whole "Rodna" thing is a definite WTF here, I have to admit I like the idea of the constantly reincarnated Dracula, coming back in a new form to terrorize each successive generation. However, for some reason this mythology was not enough for Paul--he had to inject some romance into the Dracula characterization as well, and so added a few more clauses to the vampire rules: Rodna can only be resurrected by the blood of a "true virgin" who falls in love with Dracula "in the normal way," i.e. of her own free will; therefore, for the whole bat-phoenix thing to take place, Drac has to get a pure girl to fall for him and then sacrifice her for his own eventual resurrection. With me so far?
Yes, it's a twist on the famous Daninsky werewolf lore: just as a werewolf can only truly be killed by a woman who loves him, Dracula can only be reincarnated if he kills a woman who loves him--with the added caveat that she has to be a virgin. (Lucky for Waldemar this isn't a requirement for HIS release.) Presumably this is Marlow's motivation for hosting the four Eurohotties at his abode--surely ONE of them will succumb to his undead sexiness, and then he can raise his daughter, burn her to ashes, and get himself a new skinsuit. What could be simpler, right?
Imre is attacked and bitten in the hallway by Dracula's vampire henchman, thus removing the one male hero possibility from the mix. Quickly thereafter Imre visits Marlene's room again, leading to a reprise of their earlier sex scene but this time with bloody, sexy results. (A shot with the amorous vampire drawing his lips down Marlene's bare breasts, leaving a trail of blood, is a standout.)
Unfazed by the disappearance of their friends, the rest of the girls go for a walk in the woods at dusk the next day, and Senta gets her foot caught in one of Marlow's traps. (That's an allegory, kids.) Back at the manor house Paul cleans Senta's wound, his stoic suaveness broken by crazy-eyed bloodlust. He's not the only one lusting, as it turns out, and soon he and Senta are making sweet Carpathian love in her room. (That's one way to keep your legs elevated, I guess.) Of course it turns out Senta is *not* the true virgin Paul was looking for, and so it's back to the drawing board for Drac. While all this happens, Marlene comes to Elke in trademark slo-mo vampvision, giving us a nice near-lesbonic biting scene.
Frustrated by his failure to bang a virgin, Dracula goes in search of his last best hope, Karen. Unfortunately the turned and insatiable Imre is also looking for her, and Paul has to come to his would-be victim's rescue, fighting off a vampire you'd think he could just command to leave her alone. I can't argue with the logic too much, though, as the scene climaxes with Paul picking up the rogue vamp and BODYSLAMMING HIM OUT A SECOND STORY WINDOW! Definitely one of the top defenestrations in cinema history. I had to stand up and cheer.
he frees a fluffy bunny from one of his snares. (Awwwww....) This doesn't stop him from making a meal of a cowboy-voiced villager who gets caught in one of his hunting traps, however. He also really seems to have trouble keeping his minions in line, and we get a few more scenes of Dracula battling his own feral vampire slaves in defense of Karen, who has of course fallen hard for the count, just like in the plan. Meanwhile the Vampire Women ravage the countryside in atmospheric slow-mo, scything one innocent bystander in a barn before performing an amazing 2-story leap to the window of a village girl, whom they kidnap and take back to the manor for Rodna's coming-out party. (The slide-whistle sound-effect here is the only thing that spoils an otherwise terrific attack scene.)
The ceremony in the manor basement is another nonsensical yet still-cool set-piece. At various times we get the Brides of Naschy whipping the village virgin to bloody nudity and then licking the still-oozing wounds, lots of red velvet and candelabra action, and an amazing sequence where Dracula puts a dagger all the way through Karen's neck without harming her! I don't know what black magic book they're using, but I'm definitely checking with my local library.
Things unravel at the end, as Vamp-Senta gets jealous of Karen the Virgin and tries to screw up the ceremony, leading to Pauline Penetration that is NOT of the sort she was hoping for. The entire climax of the film is narrated through very clumsy voice-over while the actors mope around in dumb show--even Paul seems somnambulent here. Karen finally agrees to be Dracula's bride and we get some nice now-you-see-him, now-you-don't mirror makeout shots (I think this is almost a Naschy trademark by now), after which Paul disposes of his remaining brides in a scene that Anne Rice may have blatantly ripped off years later. When Karen gets cold feet, however, Dracula is finally brought down, staked by the only person in the world manly enough to accomplish such a feat.
In the end, Count Dracula's Great Love is a movie made up of many great parts that sadly fail to come together into something truly spectacular. The leaden pace and clumsy voice-over hurt it, although a patient viewer will be rewarded with some of the cool set-pieces described above. Javier Aguirre, who also directed the excellent Hunchback of the Morgue, manages a few atmospheric shots in the sanatorium's catacombs, but the terrible day-for-night scenes don't do the flick any favors. And the print on the BCI/Eclipse DVD, while likely the best they could do, is still in terrible shape--the wear shows worst on the "sexy" scenes that were excised inserted for export, but excised for its original showing in its native Spain--the washed out colors and blurred edges almost keep you from concentrating on the boobs. Almost.
Paul looks fantastic in full Dracular gear, of course, but much as it pains me to second-guess Jacinto, I can't help wondering how much more awesome it would have been had he played the King of the Vampires as more Alaric de Marnac and less Waldemar Daninsky. A viciously evil blood-drinking Paul rampaging remorselessly through the countryside--you have to admit, that would be SWEET.
As for this movie, it's not the best Naschy I've ever seen, but even lesser Naschy is worth the fantastique fan's time, imo. 2.25 thumbs for the parts that are greater than their sum, the ample Euroflesh on display, and Paul in his red-lined cape and widow's peak intoning "My friend Satan is with us!" Which is the kind of line that would improve ANY movie. It's like horror MSG.
Nota Bene: BCI/Eclipse's recent pressing of the flick as part of its "Welcome to the Grindhouse" double-fature series (along with "Vampire Hookers") inexplicably uses the less awesome and entirely misleading title "Cemetery Girls"--not only does that say nothing about Dracula, there isn't even a cemetery set to be found anywhere in the flick! Not only that, but once you pop the DVD in, the disc menus all say "Count Dracula's Great Love," as do the opening credits. I'm not sure what the reasons were for this executive decision, but I hope they were good ones.

Hmmm... maybe this is related to Dracula's affinity for dynamite in Fred Dekker's "Monster Squad." Food for thought!

I remember the first time I saw this on late night tv in New York (I think Channel 5 was showing it) and a great deal of nudity was left in the print. I guess the programers were too bored or lazy to preview the film, not that I was complaining.

Empress--I'd put Naschy's axe-wielding Count up against Dekker's TNTpire any day! It still wouldn't be a fair fight...
Fred--that's pretty funny! My first exposure was on Netflix instant-view, which is sadly one of the Elvira movies they have on tap, with the Mistress of the Dark doing her periodic break-in schtick. It still had the nudity too, though, which made Elvira's quips easier to bear.
The BCI/Eclipse dvd that just came out is definitely the way to go though, as it also includes Vampire Hookers w/ John Carradine. Don't know much about THAT one (yet), but I'm guessing there's no way it can live up to the title. :)

ROCHESTER — Darkhill Cemeteries Haunted House is the brainchild of George Farrow III. It is located at 26 Dodge St. (off Rochester Hill Road) and will be open for Trick or Treat on Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 6 to 9 p.m.
The creator of this impressively scary experience, which makes use of high tech computer software, is surprisingly, a 12-year-old student of Rochester Middle School. His supportive parents moved their vehicles out of the family's two-car garage in mid-September, and their son has been hard at work ever since on his spooky masterpiece.
"You can walk through the haunt for free with an optional donation to a deserving local charity," Farrow III says on a printed card. The charity is St. Charles Children's Home.
"He has gone to school with those kids since kindergarten," explained his mother, Jennifer Farrow.
The haunt consists of a walk through a winding passageway with fearful sights and macabre surprises at every twist and turn.
"I have spent all year working on this haunt and you will be scared for sure .... your scream is my dream at Darkhill Cemetery Haunted House," reads George Farrow III's card. This is his fourth annual haunted house and it promises to be the best yet.
It all started a few years ago with the neighbors setting up a haunted walk for local kids, which he enjoyed, and so the baton was passed on to him. His haunts were also outside until last year's October snowstorm dictated it be moved into the garage.
Over the years, he has gradually accumulated props.
"Every birthday and Christmas," chipped in his mom.
This year, before beginning construction, he mapped out where everything should be positioned, and included a wiring diagram, because the haunt is controlled by his DMX system for sound and lighting, working off a laptop.
"It took a while to program it all," said Farrow III.
He orders much of his equipment online or from a store in Newington. This year he has a talking skull, for which he bought a motor and controller board, and which will wreak its spooky havoc on the faint of heart.
Just to ensure the haunt is safe, George Farrow II had an electrician check things out after his son had wired everything up, and the verdict was a thumbs up.
Where did George Farrow III , age 12, and a consistent high honors student, gain his knowledge to create an electronically controlled haunted house full of props?
Not from me," smiled George Farrow II, who is a machinist at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
George Farrow III isn't sure either, but he plans to capitalize on his knowledge, and pursue a degree in electrical engineering and computers. After this, his goal is to own a professional haunted house, which he would build himself.
Last year, said Jennifer Farrow, about 200 people — family, friends and neighbors — came through the haunt. This year, if a similar number of people donated an average of $1 each, that would be $200 going to St. Charles Children's Home, she noted. The donation is optional, though, and the Farrows also give out a lot of candy.
"The neighbors are looking forward to it," said his mother.
The highlight for Farrow III, last year, came when several teenage girls ran out of the haunt, screaming. With this year's deluxe model, replete with new animatronics and sound and lighting equipment, he is hoping for a reprise.

With summer still over a month away, the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) has broadcast an early warning for "Pigeon Fever," also called dryland distemper, after a large number of cases were confirmed in horses last year in Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas.
The disease, which can be fatal to equine, causes abscesses and swelling in the horse's pectoral region (breast muscles) causing a "pigeon-like" appearance, and is caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis.
Often associated with extreme dry conditions and drought, the disease is associated with the hot summer season but can happen any time of year. It is often found in dry areas of the Western United States, but officials say it appears the disease may be on the rise in other parts of the country.
"The Texas Animal Health Commission has no specific authority to regulate pigeon fever, meaning we do not require vets to report cases. But we have noted an upswing in calls and questions about the disease in recent weeks," says Dr. Holly Poremski, TAHC veterinarian and director of laboratories for the agency.
Poremski says 2011 was a significant year for the disease among Texas horses with 350 cultures testing positive at the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (TVMDL) in College Station. That compares to only 100 cases or less reported each year in Texas between the years 2005-2010.
"When conditions get very dry we suspect that dust may carry the bacteria into open wounds, and we also think it may be spread by flies carrying the bacteria from one infected horse to others," Poremski added.
Officials in Arkansas and Louisiana are also warning veterinarians to watch for signs of the disease, especially if there is another drought.
Louisiana usually has fewer than three cases per year, but the state veterinary lab confirmed 33 in 2011 and officials say that number may be low because horse owners often treated but did not test horses for the disease to save on expenses. They say the actual number could have been as high as 300 cases.
Arkansas officials say they confirmed a dozen or more cases last year after several years of no confirmed cases. A spokesman for the state veterinarian's office said most horse owners are unfamiliar with the disease and did not know how to treat it.
According to a TAHC press alert this month, horses affected by pigeon fever can show a variety of signs including fever, weight loss, swelling of the breast muscles or ventral abdomen (belly), and other areas of the body. Abscesses caused by the disease are usually external, and the swelling is visible.
Less commonly, the abscesses form inside the horse's body where they are more difficult to detect. Treatment of horses with internal abscesses can be difficult, with major complications possible. Prompt veterinary care greatly increases treatment success and reduces complications in any case of pigeon fever. The disease can be fatal to untreated animals.
Animal health officials say there are two types of the disease. One infects sheep and goats but not horses; the other infects horses but not sheep and goats. Both types can infect cattle and humans, though human infections are rare.
In addition to flies that can carry the disease from one animal to another, basic sanitation is also critical. Infected horses should be isolated and abscess drainage should be disposed of properly. The draining material contains large amounts of the bacteria and contaminates the area around the horse, potentially spreading the disease. It is also important to promptly treat any wounds that could become contaminated by flies or dirt.
While veterinarians say vaccines exist for sheep, there is no vaccine for horses.
VS Confirmed in New Mexico Horses
Elsewhere across the Southwest, vesicular stomatitis, or VS, has recently been detected in two horses in New Mexico. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed the infection of two horses in Otero County, according to TAHC. The horses were sampled after vesicular lesions were observed on both animals.
Officials say early reports indicated five horses were thought to be infected with VS, and all of them remain under quarantine. No new cases of vesicular stomatitis have been identified elsewhere in the state. A New Mexico state veterinarian inspected all livestock within a one mile radius of the infected equine. In all there were 128 horses and 24 head of cattle examined.
According to a New Mexico state veterinarian, based on the current findings of vesicular stomatitis in the area, "all livestock leaving Otero County will be required to have an inspection by a veterinarian within 7 days of transport if they are traveling to a public event such as roping, racing, breeding or other forms of public exhibition or traveling interstate."
The Texas Animal Health Commission prohibits entry of animals from VS quarantined premises, and also requires livestock to be accompanied by a valid certificate of veterinary inspection.
VS can cause blisters and sores in the mouth and on the tongue, muzzle, teats or hooves of horses, cattle, swine, sheep, goats, llamas and other animals. Lesions usually will heal in two or three weeks. Because the signs of VS mimic those of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), animal health officials strongly urge livestock owners and caretakers to report potential cases of VS to their private veterinary practitioner or state livestock health inspector.

The study will be offered to women with ovarian cancer who are receiving care at the Gynecologic Oncology Clinic at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. Prospective candidates, identified via chart review, will receive a mailing that describes and invites them to be screened for eligibility. Potential participants seen in the clinic will also be approached and invited to participate.
The informed consent process and pretesting will take place in the clinic, with exceptions made as needed for women who prefer to complete documents at home.
The intervention, which will consist of four educational CAM sessions, will be held on site in a private room at Moffitt Cancer Center. Immediately before and after each session, we will administer a brief on-site pre- and post-test. Upon completion of the intervention, participants will be asked to complete a post-test on site or at home, depending on their preference. Follow-up telephone calls will be made to the participants at 8 weeks after the last session.
Pre- and post-test measures will focus on quality of life, prior use of CAM therapies, topic preferences, knowledge gained from the presentations, changed intentions and behaviors associated with CAM, and satisfaction with the program.

Session Persistence Using Cookie Learning on the Cisco Application Control Engine Configuration Example
From DocWiki
Configure basic load balancing with cookie learning where client traffic enters on one network and is directed to servers residing on a second network. Once the client has entered the site they will remain stuck to a given server based on a HTTP Cookie learned by ACE from the server.
Clients will send application requests through the multilayer switch feature card (MSFC), which routes them to a virtual IP address (VIP) within the Cisco® Application Control Engine (ACE). The VIP used in this example resides in an ACE context, which is configured with a client VLAN and a server VLAN (see the figure below). Client requests will arrive at the VIP, and the ACE will check the request to see if it contains a cookie. If it does, the sticky table will be checked to see which server should receive the request. If the cookie entry has expired, or if the client does not have a cookie the ACE will pick the appropriate server to receive the request based on the requested URL. When the server responds ACE will learn the cookie value found within the HTTP Response so that upon future requests client persistence to the server will be maintained.
Within the Cisco ACE sticky resources are finite and are controlled via resource allocation. Before a context can apply session persistence using sticky groups, the context must first be given a sticky allocation. Once this is done, a sticky group is created to define parameters and the serverfarm where client requests will be sent. Recall, the load balancing action tells ACE how to handle traffic which has hit a VIP. Thus the sticky group on ACE is applied within the load balance policy-map. To enable server load-balancing with session persistence based on cookies ACE learns you need to do the following:
- Allocate sticky resources to the context
- Enable ACLs to allow data traffic through the ACE device, as it is denied by default.
- Configure the IPs of the servers (define rservers)
- Group the real servers (create a serverfarm)
- Create a sticky group
- Define the virtual IP address (VIP)
- Define how traffic is to be handled as it is received (create a policy map for load balancing)
- Apply the sticky group to the load balancing policy
- Associate a VIP to a handling action (create a multimatch policy map [a service policy])
- Create client- and server-facing interfaces
- Apply the VIP and ACL permitting client connections to the interface (apply access group and service policy to interface)
|For brevity only the bold steps are covered in this document. Please review the URL Load Balancing using Routed Mode document for more information on basic URL load balancing and the base configuration.
To begin the configuration, allocate sticky resources to the context you will be using. In this example a context "routed" has already been defined. Create a resource class, allocate the desired amount of sticky entries, and apply them to the "routed" context.
ACE-1/Admin# show run | begin routed context routed allocate-interface vlan 10 allocate-interface vlan 20 allocate-interface vlan 40 ACE-1/Admin(config)# resource-class sticky ACE-1/Admin(config-resource)# limit-resource all minimum 0.00 maximum unlimited ACE-1/Admin(config-resource)# limit-resource sticky minimum 10.00 maximum equal-to-min ACE-1/Admin(config)# context routed ACE-1/Admin(config-context)# member sticky
|At this time sticky resources are a fixed resource outside the other resources. Thus you must use maximum equal-to-min and you must define sticky resources even if all is previously used. This also applies to the Admin context.
Once the resources have been allocated a sticky group can be defined. The Cisco ACE can be configured in various ways to apply session persistence using cookies. For this example cookie learning will be used. The cookie name ACE will attempt to learn is supplied when the sticky group is created. By default ACE learns cookies and these entries have a idle timeout of 24 hours. Using the configuration below ACE will learn the value of a cookie with the name "JSessionID". The session will timeout after 5 minutes of no new connections/requests containing this cookie value. The ACE will use a pre-existing serverfarm named "webfarm".
ACE-1/routed(config)# sticky http-cookie JSessionID web-sticky ACE-1/routed(config-sticky-cookie)# timeout 5 ACE-1/routed(config-sticky-cookie)# serverfarm webfarm
The serverfarm within the load balancing policy map must be swapped with the sticky group to apply cookie learning to new client requests. Based on this example configuration there are two possible actions for handling new client requests. Any requests for images will be sent to the "imagefarm" serverfarm, which does not require persistence. All other requests will be sent to the web servers in the "webfarm" where the clients will use session persistence.
ACE-1/routed(config)# policy-map type loadbalance http first-match slb-logic ACE-1/routed(config-pmap-lb-c)# class class-default ACE-1/routed(config-pmap-lb-c)# no serverfarm webfarm ACE-1/routed(config-pmap-lb-c)# sticky-serverfarm web-sticky
When cookie learning is applied there are no entries in the http-cookie sticky database. As new connections arrive, and cookies are learned new entryies for each client will be stored in the sticky database for http-cookies. In this example there are two entries created.
ACE-1/routed(config-pmap-lb-c)# do show sticky database http-cookie sticky group : web-sticky type : HTTP-COOKIE timeout : 5 timeout-activeconns : FALSE sticky-entry rserver-instance time-to-expire flags ---------------------+----------------------+--------------+-------+ 16820511103801384579 lnx1:0 0 - sticky group : web-sticky type : HTTP-COOKIE timeout : 5 timeout-activeconns : FALSE sticky-entry rserver-instance time-to-expire flags ---------------------+----------------------+--------------+-------+ 3347854103021350619 lnx2:0 0 -
When a client connects to the VIP they download index.html page from the web servers. At this point the client will get a cookie for the selected server to ensure all future requests will continue to use the same server. While there is no way to see how many clients have a cookie for a given server the common show commands will provide details on the incoming requests and responses and other data stats.
Recall, the Cisco ACE inserts a static entry for each server in a server farm in the sticky group. In this case there is only one sticky group and it uses cookie-insert and the serverfarm contains 2 real servers. Thus the output of the show stats sticky command displays 2 entries, despite the number of clients using the VIP.
ACE-1/routed# show stats sticky +------------------------------------------+ +----------- Sticky statistics ------------+ +------------------------------------------+ Total sticky entries reused : 0 prior to expiry Total active sticky entries : 3 Total active sticky conns : 0 Total static sticky entries : 0
Related show commands
This section provides information you can use to confirm your configuration is working properly.
Certain show commands are supported by the Output Interpreter Tool (registered customers only), which allows you to view an analysis of show command output.
ACE-1/routed #show sticky database static ACE-1/routed #show service-policy client-vips ACE-1/routed #show service-policy client-vips detail ACE-1/routed #show serverfarm ACE-1/routed #show rserver ACE-1/routed #show stats
The type of cookie ACE will insert depends on if cookie-insert is configured or cookie-insert browser-expire is configured. The sniffer traces below show the difference between the types of cookies ACE will insert.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n Set-Cookie: JsessionID=128748457485485489; path=/; expires=Thu, 16-Oct-2008 00:08:55 GMT\r\n Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2008 19:17:35 GMT\r\n Server: Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat)\r\n Accept-Ranges: bytes\r\n Content-Length: 1112\r\n VirtualHost: 192.168.1.12\r\n Connection: close\r\n Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n \r\n
Notice the two cookie values do not appear to be related to the sticky-value in the show sticky database static output, displayed below:
sticky-entry rserver-instance time-to-expire flags ---------------------+----------------------+--------------+-------+ 16820511103801384579 lnx1:0 never - <…snip…> 3347854103021350619 lnx2:0 never -
This is because the sticky-entry is a hash of the cookie value. In order to determine the server a client is hitting one must mark the server such that it can be distinguished, possibly using a HTTP Header in the server response, or by determining the sticky-entry ACE uses for each learned cookie entry. The sticky-entry is a hash of the first 255 bytes of the cookie value. The ACE provides a command which takes the cookie value set by the server and displays the cookie entry. This provides the association between a client and a real server.
ACE-1/routed(config-context)# show sticky database http-cookie "128748457485485489" sticky group : web-sticky type : HTTP-COOKIE timeout : 5 timeout-activeconns : FALSE sticky-entry rserver-instance time-to-expire flags ---------------------+------------------------+--------------+-------+ 497835028048248915 lnx2:0 254 -

I have a warm and loving and Christian family….
—Ken Lay
When you hear those words from a guy standing before a bank of microphones and news cameras, with his attorney beside him and his faithful second wife in the background, you know whoever he is and whatever he just got convicted of, he's going to be slinging it pretty good.
And Ken Lay did not disappoint.
In fact, moments before telling the world of his Christian family, which is, presumably, better than a Catholic family or a Muslim family, this same man and his Christian family and Christian friends had gathered in the courtroom in prayer with a Christian minister who compared the just-convicted ex-CEO's plight to that of Jesus Christ.
I'm not making that up. The only thing missing from the whole tableau was Tammy Faye Baker dabbing those big raccoon-shadowed eyes of hers for the cameras and declaring her eternal affinity for the good Christian Ken.
I do not mean disrespect to the Christian faith itself, nor do I suggest anyone dismiss Lay's faith-based self-justification out of hand. It provides, I think, as great an insight into his psyche as any phone call recording or board meeting transcript that might have been used as evidence in the trial itself.
Most of all we believe that God in fact is in control, and indeed He does work all things for good for those who love the Lord.
Now, keep in mind, the man saying this is the man who built Enron out of a small
Strictly speaking, of course, if God "in fact is in control" and the Lord does work "all things for good," then:
1. No human being was responsible for the off-balance sheet partnerships that brought down Enron, since God was in control;
2. No human being needs to answer to former Enron shareholders whose hard-earned savings evaporated along with that company's earnings, assets and stock price, since the Lord works all things for good and therefore He presumably encouraged those former Enron shareholders to get in on the Google IPO to recoup their Enron losses.
Of course, God was never "in control" at Enron: human beings were in control.
That the chief human being in control didn't take responsibility Thursday afternoon is no surprise to this observer. I recall very clearly the October 23, 2001 emergency conference call which he and Andy Fastow (!) hosted, following poor third quarter earnings and a surprise $1.2 billion write-off that had spooked Wall Street's Finest.
On that call, Lay gave few hard answers to the increasingly desperate questions about what exactly the company was writing off, and expressed nothing but optimism and a weird complacency about the company—possibly because he had been selling stock all along, unlike the poor slobs asking the questions and the clients of those poor slobs, who were watching their retirement funds evaporate with every new disclosure.
In fact, the only disappointment Lay appeared to express on that call was in the company's stock price—possibly because, as it turned out, the entire operation hinged on shares of Enron that had, unbeknownst to the public, been pledged as collateral for off-balance assets used to prop up earnings and cash flow.
But don't take my memory for it.
The following is an abbreviated recap of Ken Lay's opening remarks on that call, provided in summary form by the indispensable Briefing.com. Although the original quotes are gone, readers will get the sense of Lay's deep denial and shoot-the-messenger self-rationalization that pre-dated this week's comments to the press:
--Company is extremely disappointed with its stock price.
--LJM is no longer is a related party. Terminated the financial arrangement with LJM.
--Welcomes the request of the SEC for information related to certain party transactions. Co-operating fully with the SEC. [Author's note: Patrick Byrne is apparently not, in fact, the first CEO in history to welcome an SEC inquiry]
--Structured finance vehicle in which LJM was investor was established to mitigate volatility associated with certain Enron merchant investments.
--Company recorded a $1.2 billion reduction in shareholders equity and a corresponding reduction in notes receivables.
(Source: Briefing.com)
Five years later, after the guilty verdict and the prayer circle in the court room, Ken Lay would tell the world that God is in control and things would work out for him because, as quoted above, "God works all things for the good for those who love the Lord," which was followed by the clincher:
"And we love our Lord."
Personally, I believe that whatever brand you choose, religion has more to do with, to paraphrase Spike Lee, "doing the right thing"—of which the Enron jurors apparently had a hard time finding examples among the former management team—and less to do with justifying one's self before the public by claiming a special relationship with Jesus Christ.
But the damage is done: yet another former high-flying hotshot gives Christianity a bad name.

Sorry to confuse everyone with mentioning where I'm from. I'm impartial to wherever I end up. I would love to work in California, but would also be happy in D.C, Boston, NY, Philly, Ohio, etc. Location isn't the issue. If I were forced to chose based entirely on location though, I would choose California.
Financials are not that huge of a concern either. For example, I'm not strongly considering going to University of the Pacific to save the money.

|Homestead in Brodbecks, PA
of Jesse and Agnes Berkheimer
One day while volunteering in our local research library, a lady asked me for help in trying to understand her German ancestors. Her relatives claimed that they were Irish. She was so patient and eventually we found that her German ancestors couldn't sail to America when they wanted to and were offered land to stay in Ireland, thus the German-Irish connection. Proof in hand, she couldn't wait to share this at the next family reunion!
I knew little about my mother's paternal ancestors, and found bits and pieces about her parents, their divorce, and that I have a step grandmother. Nothing exciting, just a loose end on the family tree. Another find was an article from the Berkheimer family file which revealed that my great, great, great grandfather, Andrew Berkheimer, had a brother, Henry, who had bought a farm shortly after becoming married in the early 1800s in Washington Township, Pennsylvania. Together with his wife Elizabeth, they raised a family and operated a widely known wool mill. Today it is a working farm (sorry but I couldn't find a photograph of this farm, just driving driving directions) listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings. This find won't land me on NBC's show "Who Do You Think You Are?" but to know that a piece of their history is important enough to be registered and still a working farm is pretty cool.
Over a year ago, I began my family research, and didn't know that I would become so obsessed with history. A quote from Henry Wiencek sums it up for me.
"Genealogy becomes a mania, an obsessive struggle to penetrate the past and snatch meaning from an infinity of names. At some point the search becomes futile - there is nothing left to find, no meaning to be dredged out of old receipts, newspaper articles, letters, accounts of events that seemed so important fifty or seventy years ago. All that remains is the insane urge to keep looking, insane because the searcher has no idea what he seeks. What will it be? A photograph? A will? A fragment of a letter? The only way to find out is to look at everything, because it is often when the searcher has gone far beyond the border of futility that he finds the object he never knew he was looking for."

Malloy makes renewed pitch for pitching state tourism
Hartford - Three days after the unveiling of Connecticut's new branding campaign, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy stoked his commitment to the tourism and hospitality industry Thursday while speaking at the Connecticut Conference on Tourism.
"We are in the process of moving forward in a serious way for the first time in a long time," Malloy told a luncheon crowd during the all-day event at the Connecticut Convention Center. With tens of millions of state dollars committed to tourism promotion this fiscal year and next, he pledged more of the same "the year after that and the year after that."
"We will be building it into our revenue projections," the governor said.
On Monday, tourism officials took the wraps off "Connecticut, Still Revolutionary," a branding campaign that links the state's rich history to its reputation for innovation in such areas as science, higher education and the arts.
For more than two decades, the state refused to exploit tourism's proven ability to grow the economy, Malloy said, with the result that the sector has underperformed. And still it generates $11.5 billion a year in travelers' spending and $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue, according to the University of Connecticut's Center for Economic Analysis. It's responsible for more than 110,000 jobs.
While Thursday's keynote speaker, Jim Taylor, vice chairman of the Harrison Group, branding consultants who worked on the Connecticut campaign, suggested the state could nearly double the $11.5 billion figure, Malloy said even much more modest gains would pay huge dividends.
"Imagine if we could get it to $12.5 million, $13.5 million, $14.5 million," he said. "It would put much more money in people's pockets."
Malloy recalled that he had worked as an ad-agency researcher on the highly successful "I Love New York" branding campaign credited with helping to reverse New York City's fortunes. "It had a catchy tune and a catchy story, and they told it over and over and over again," he said.
The governor said he was tired of watching tourism offices in other states make a pitch for Connecticut residents. "If I see another Cape Cod ad, I'm going to get sick," he said.
Taylor discussed the results of an annual survey of affluence and spending trends among the country's wealthiest households. He said that as much as $6 trillion to $7 trillion that has been stashed in savings and investment accounts could start circulating in late 2013 or 2014 and that Connecticut "has an obligation to ask: 'What's our piece of that action?'"
The recession has caused families to spend more time together and to place greater value on that time, Taylor said. "They're not buying a car, redoing the kitchen, landscaping or searching for a new job. They're traveling together and experiencing ... what?"
He said the typical family's biggest discretionary item is its vacation.
Connecticut, then, is perhaps uniquely suited to provide families with the kind of "original content" they need to provide them with things to talk about - with experiences, with memories, Taylor said. The state's problem, he said, is that it remains largely unknown.

Utah school apologizes to teens for altered photos
SALT LAKE CITY – Some Utah high school students who cracked their yearbooks to find sleeves digitally added to their tank tops and a tattoo erased say school officials have apologized to them.
Wasatch High School administrators in recent days offered at least one student the chance to return her yearbook for a refund.
But some say they want to keep the memento of their stance against a policy they say singled out some students. Others say they're eager to move past the ordeal and on with summer vacation, which began Friday.
District officials declined to comment Tuesday, pointing to their statement last week acknowledging error in doctoring pictures of some students but not others who were similarly dressed.
Wasatch High School is in Heber City, about 40 miles outside Salt Lake City.

Police Remove 'Occupy Buffalo' From Niagara Square
The 4 month old Occupy Buffalo camp that began on October 1st of 2011 has come to an abrupt end. Buffalo police showed up in force last night and gave the protesters the choice of leaving peacefully or be arrested. A majority of the occupy movement left as directed but a few stood their ground and were cuffed and taken to jail.
The whole ordeal began at around 2 a.m. when police and members of the Buffalo public works department showed up with bulldozers and trucks to take down the encampment. The agreement between Occupy Buffalo and the city expired on at midnight on Tuesday.
The Buffalo Police Department released the following statement:
"The city offered a five week extension until March 8, that was rejected by Occupy Buffalo. The city is disappointed that Occupy did not accept the extension as the two sides have worked cooperatively over the past four and a half months.
"The city will now enforce its laws and ordinances in the wake of this refusal to enter into a reasonable transition agreement."
Occupy Buffalo responded by saying "We feel this is the first act of aggression from the City towards the protest in Niagara Square, and like the raid on Lafayette Square, should be condemned for the same reasons. These are Buffalonians, and they are Americans, with a right to peacefully assemble and exercise free speech, without curfew. No one should have the power to take that away from law-abiding taxpaying citizens."
