CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police have identified a 430-pound woman they say pretended two cans of spaghetti sauce were a bomb when she robbed a southeast Michigan bank.
Police say 53-year-old Ophelia A. Neal faces bank robbery and explosives charges in Saturday's robbery at a Fifth Third Bank branch in Macomb County's Clinton Township. It's about 15 miles north-northeast of Detroit.
WDIV-TV (http://bit.ly/ZjXZMd ) says police are hunting for the parole absconder. The Michigan Department of Corrections say Neal is black, 5-foot-7 and has partially gray hair.
The state says she has fraud, assault and marijuana convictions.
Police say the robber told bank employees she had a bomb in her cloth bag and demanded money. They say she took an undisclosed amount of money and escaped in a car with a man at the wheel.

- Premier League
Aguero: City will win Premier League
Sergio Aguero has backed Manchester City to successfully defend their Premier League title after the disappointment of Champions League elimination on Wednesday.
City were left to fight for a place in this season's Europa League after succumbing to a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid, raising doubts over their current form and forcing Roberto Mancini to defend his position at the club.
The English champions were criticised for failing to hit their stride in the opening rounds of the Premier League season, but a convincing 5-0 win over Aston Villa last weekend restored their title credentials.
Aguero admits that City's Premier League rivals may have recruited better over the summer, but that only motivates his side to pursue back-to-back championships.
"I'm sure we will retain our title," Aguero said. "It's true that Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams have strengthened their squads intelligently compared with last season.
"But we are the champions and they want to take us on - so that's only to be expected. It won't be easy for them because we are growing as a team and we get to know each other better every time we play.
"It's true that we don't have the same flair in games that we had last season and we've scored fewer goals for sure. But the Premier League table says something different. It says we are very hard to beat, top of the table and defending well, so we can't be doing that badly can we?"
Aguero believes a number of injury setbacks has made it difficult for City to gather momentum, with Vincent Kompany a chance of missing the showdown with Chelsea on Sunday after suffering a knee injury against Real.
"We have been hindered by a string of injuries to important players - David Silva, [Pablo] Zabaleta, [Javi] Garcia, [Joleon] Lescott, [Micah] Richards, Maicon, [Gareth] Barry, [Samir] Nasri, [James] Milner, myself - it's not easy when they all happen simultaneously," he said. "Last season we had very few injuries.
"If we have been succeeding despite these difficulties, then it makes me believe that the best is still to come and we'll be able to repeat our form of last year. We are destined to win more trophies and, barring any major setbacks, we will.
"When I first arrived at City after my first game against Swansea, I said I hoped this was the beginning of something very big. Our Premier League title showed it possibly was and that we had great things ahead. As I said, I firmly believe the best is yet to come."
Aguero has scored five goals in six starts for City this Premier League campaign and after an injury blow early on, the Argentinian feels he is returning to form.
"From a personal point of view it was a pity to get injured so early in the new season," he said. "I'd had an intense pre-season and felt in terrific shape.
"Then I had to stop and start back from scratch, which was hardly ideal. But I'm in top form right now and feel sharp and hungry. Injuries in general can be frustrating because they can halt you in full flow. But in my case I was so motivated to get back on the field that it overcame any frustration."

Tropical depression strengthening in Pacific off Mexico
MIAMI (AP) — A tropical depression has begun strengthening in the Pacific off southwest Mexico and authorities have issued a tropical storm warning for a stretch of that country's coastline.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said early Sunday the tropical depression is centered about 275 miles (445 kilometers) southwest of Acapulco, Mexico, and is moving northward at 10 mph (17 kph). The storm has top sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph).
Mexico's government issued a tropical storm warning for its Pacific coast from Punta San Telmo to Manzanillo. The Miami center says the system is strengthening and is expected to become a tropical storm later Sunday.
Forecasters say the system is expected to pass near the southwest coast of Mexico in the warning area by Monday.

You Gonna Eat That?
And now, courtesy of the bakeries of America,
10 Things That Should Never Be On Cake.
10. Wired Ribbon
Or any ribbon, for that matter, but the wired stuff is especially bad. Do you really want sharp metal in your icing? And is it really that hard to pipe a bow? (Don't answer that. I know. Believe me. I know.)
9. Rosaries
Is this a thing? Why is this a thing? I mean, I've heard of cake being "sinfully" good before, but really?
8. Individually Wrapped Candies
Icing-smeared cellophane has never tasted so good.
7. Stuffed Animals
I don't know about you, but the last thing *I* want to see when I open a bakery box is a small furry creature. Besides, can you imagine licking icing off synthetic fur?
(You can, can't you? In fact, I bet you're imagining it THIS VERY SECOND.)
[You're welcome.]
6. License Plates
What is this I don't even.
{Actually, I'm guessing the baker saw this and decided not to take any chances.}
5. Fishing Lures Complete With Hooks
Yet another reason why you don't mess with Texas...cakes.
(And I thought licking stuffed animals would be bad. YOWCH.)
4. Those Disposable Plastic Rims You Snap Off Industrial-Sized Icing Tubs
Seriously, bakers?
[Note: It's supposed to be a helmet. And the fact that I know that made me seriously re-consider my life goals this week.]
3: Underwear
Not gonna lie, Marge: seeing actual thigh-highs on cakey leg stumps just made my entire week.
Maybe I should get out more.
2. Live Animals
I suppose you could argue that the fish aren't technically touching the cake...but at that point you have to stop and ask yourself why you're arguing in favor of putting live fish on a cake.
Plus they're not even pretty fish. And what happens when one goes belly-up at the reception? Do you really want to spend your wedding day explaining the circle of life to a bunch of traumatized children? And who takes the ugly minnows home afterward, anyway? The traumatized children? And what happens when sloshed Uncle Bill grabs the wrong wine glass later on?
(Actually, I have an answer for that last one: COMEDY GOLD, that's what.)
And finally, the number one thing that should never be on a cake....IS...
1. Used Pregnancy Tests
And you thought I was joking.
Thanks to Jill C., Nell M., Shayna R., Giana T., Melanie H., Misty S., Neba N., Susie M., Stacey W., & Anony M. for putting all those plastic clown heads in perspective.

American Idol: The Untold StoryJanuary 9th, 2011

'American Idol's' Christian connection
Mega-churches across the country's heartland have served as the training grounds for many of the Fox show's contestants, with parishioners doing their part with prayers and text votes.
By Scott Collins, Los Angeles Times
May 23, 2010
She isn't employed by the show and viewers never see her sparring with Simon Cowell. But Leesa Bellesi exerts her own kind of pull on "American Idol," Fox's top-rated singing contest that has a unique if often-unstated link to Christian churches.
Bellesi, who runs a Christian nonprofit in Lake Forest with her Pastor husband, visits tapings frequently, has befriended numerous finalists and helps wrangle funds and scout temporary housing for families who trek cross-country to see relatives perform on "Idol." Bellesi said that churches form a base for the young singers as they try to win votes and establish fan bases. Half of the Top 10 last season were worship leaders in their churches, she said.
"Most of the kids that have been really successful on 'American Idol' have that huge support of their church that's pushed them — they've had a lot of voting and things like that," said Bellesi, who has no official connection to the show (a spokesperson for the producers said he had never heard of her) but was spoken of as an unofficial patron by former finalists Danny Gokey, Jason Castro and others.
Read it in it's entirety at:
Note: Keep reminding yourself what a privilege it is just to have the opportunity to audition. That you have a voice to share. Many don't. My best friend has no arms or legs and he never complains…EVER! Life Without Limbs :: Nick Vujicic So just be happy you can drive or walk yourselves to the audition location. It's a gift to be alive…right! Then make a point of meeting and enjoying the people around you. Many have made life long friendships with those they have stood in line with. When I went to support a friend I experienced this. A few around us that we befriended made it to the top 24 and are still friends. What a blessing just to be a part of it all. Be in the moment and feel the joy and anticipation.
I heard great advice the other day. "If you feel that feeling in your stomach, you know that feeling…the one that makes you feel like you are going to hurl or double over. It means you are about to do something very special so enjoy the ride."
Also…do not complain to the Producers about the heat, your exhaustion, your voice not being right, your song…be positive and hopefully they will be too. You are being watched
Love to you all…I will pray for you if you ask. Write me at email@example.com – If you give me your phone number I will text you little encouragements, which is what I have been doing this morning to those in San Francisco. I'll call and pray with you too if you would like.
God's richest blessings! Leesa
Every once in a while I have to express my convictions and here is one of them.
Every year I always tell the Lord, I will obey. If you want to use me to bear fruit for your Kingdom here on earth and for eternity…I'm in. I don't go looking for AI contestants, I just stay F.A.T. Faithful, Available and Teachable. Even though I am giving my body to Science (my last Kingdom Assignment on Earth) I do want a Grave Stone somewhere and I want it to read: "She was so F.A.T." :-)
This season started unexpectedly early. I received an email from good friend Mark Joseph who had passed my info on to Byron Spradling who passed my info to Shelley Vance out of Little Rock, Arkansas and the Mother of Songbird Charity Vance. She needed a place for her husband "Vance" to stay while Charity was in Hollywood Week. I called Shelley…we talked, got to pray with Charity and my love affair with the Vance family began. Charity calls me Miss Leesa…gotta love that Just say it to yourself in a cute Southern accent and well…it's just really cute, especially since I have not been a "Miss" in over 36 years. Shelley invited Denny and I to Hollywood Week auditions and it was such a joy to attend. When I first met Shelley and Charity face to face. I immediately gave her a AI Ministry Resource standard, made by my friend Deborah Harder, "Sterling Grace" Silver Bracelet which read Jer. 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future. I've given the bracelet to several of the AI players and have worn them on the Show, Katharine McPhee, Jordin Sparks (Jordin wore hers on every show until she won at the Finale), Paula Abdul, Kristi Lee Cook, Syesha Mercado now Charity Vance. God's word as a constant reminder of His love and plan for them. Two kids that had a special place in my heart also made it to Hollywood Week and we were able to cheer them on. Colin Benward…He calls me his CA Mama, and has worked for me at the Award Shows, Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmy's and others. He did so so good and he was just darling…spoken like a Mom huh?! But so true. As I held his Sisters had as the Judges said; step forward, step back we knew he would make it past the first round. He didn't…whaaat?! My theory on that is 1) He looks just like Lee and 2) He's from Nashville like Di Di, it definitely is not because he wasn't good, because he WAS GOOD! Not all the best voices make it to the top. It is a reality show and they have many things to consider, especially giving every state someone to be proud of and vote for. The other favorite and friend was Michael Castro. He is just so talented and has grown so much in the last year. Surprised he didn't make it further, but he made it a little further than Colin, Group Night. Big Mike was in his group and Little Mike did great, but sadly was sent home. Michael was so gracious, I was really proud of him.
Now on to Charity…
But hold on…off to tonight's viewing party at the Dixon's. Pics and her story when I get home
Today's Billy Graham Devotional reminded me of Kingdom Assignment 2, a book Denny and I wrote in 2001. After asking our Congregation to sell something worth 100 dollars and give the money to poor we saw the Lord multiply that to over $345,000.00 in just a few short months. Every penny was given away to help local food banks and Homeless Shelters. The assignment was based on a passage in the Bible, Mark 10:17-22 read along:
17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.
20"Teacher," he declared, "all these I have kept since I was a boy."
21Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Billy Graham's Day by Day Devotional for March 10th:
"People go through many doors which do not lead to the Kingdom of God. Some try the door of good works. They say, "I can get to heaven if I only do enough good things, because God will honor all the good things I do." It's wonderful to do good things, but we cannot do enough good things to satisfy God. God demands perfection, and we're not perfect. If we're going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to be absolutely perfect. You ask, "Well, how will I ever be perfect?" We need to be clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus. There is one door to the Kingdom and it's Jesus. And we will never get to heaven unless we go His way."
I always look forward to Tuesdays when I get to watch my Grandson Evan. This time gives Emily and her Mommy Natalie a chance to get away just the two of them. I do get some time with Emily… reading Daniel to her before her nap. She is such an Angel Baby, she almost puts herself down for her nap. Natalie and Eric are fantastic parents. Even though Emily is not even 2 yet she reads to me.
Evan is so sweet and affectionate. He is laughing and talking at 6 weeks. He loves to communicate. Check out the pics.
Spent the evening at Ray and Virginia Dixon's to watch American Idol. We all agreed there seems to be no Danny, no Katharine, no David's, no Daughtry…but the contestants all seem like wonderful people. It's still very entertaining and we all get an opinion Denny and I got invited to Hollywood week auditions. Very fun and fascinating. Feeling it was a mistake in letting go Charity Vance, Tasha Layton and Colin Benward this season. But God doesn't do oops.. and it's okay cause they will be at this years WELL DONE Awards… don't miss it. Sunday June 6th back at Coast Hills Church this year www.charityvance.net check out her new site and songs. What a talent!
James 1:26
Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. TNIV
From Billy Grahams Devotional Day by Day -
"The problems of the world could be solved overnight if people could get victory over their tongues. Suppose there was no anger, no profanity, no lying, no grumbling or complaining; suppose there were no dirty stories told, no unjust criticism-what a different world this would be! The Bible teaches that a person who can control their tongue can control their whole personality. We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ? If we would always think before we speak, there would be much less evil speaking, and there would soon be a spiritual awakening that would sweep the church in America."
There is a reason I do not allow comments on my Blog and the reason is… people have not gotten control over their tongues, or their thoughts. People have written me the most bizarre and unkind things. Down right evil. Kindness in the Blog world is a pipe-dream of mine. If you're reading this and you make the practice of giving your unkind opinion about everything because you can, consider praying about or for that person instead. You'll be laying up treasure in Heaven instead of breaking some ones heart. Sticks and Stones can break your bones, but names will always hurt you. Bones mend in time, Hearts may never. Some of these American Idol kids, well I don't think any of them escape the cruel, mean, obscene comments people make about the way they look, their clothing, family members…what? No one deserves that. When I was in High School, I remember my Youth Pastor and good friend Jim Grindle told me and other student officers "what you say may be THE THING or final straw that breaks that person spirit". I've always tried to remember those words and when I haven't I try to apologize and ask forgiveness. Stay clean…let's encourage one another with the words of our mouth as a testament to our lives. Must I remind you God hears not only our words, but our thoughts too.
Psalms 7:9
Bring to an end the (verbal) violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— You, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts. TNIV

It's late and I am too tired to write a proper review of the MJ Movie that Lysa, Amy and myself went to see tonight. The theater in Foothill Ranch was not exactly a sell out, maybe 30 percent filled. We sat between a woman that coughed every uummm… 45 seconds, not exaggerating. And a family that took their 5 kids, ages 5,4,3,2,1 to a 9 pm movie, but I digress. Ignoring the outside irritation I give it a C+. I love production, choreography, behind the scenes stuff and getting to see that aspect up close and personal was cool. They showed a snippet of the audition process for the dancers. Having been a dancer I really enjoyed that part… but it was just a snippet… would of loved more of that. Seeing Michael relaxed was fascinating. Glad I went and some of the dance sequences were wonderful. It would of been a fantastic show. Warning!!! and I was afraid of this. There is an icky crouch grabbing scene at the end that I really could of done without and the "inspirational" moment following it was weird. A little too much MJ worship for me. I have to wonder if Michael really would of been very happy that this was made into a movie… not so sure about that.
It's hard to believe, but our Admin Assistant Lysa has never had an In and Out Burger even though she was born and raised in Orange County, CA. How can this be? Our Web Designer, Victor, and I dragged her for a Protein Style (no bun) Burger. She was given an In and Out Crown for the day. This adventure was very bonding for our staff
P.S. Did you know there are scriptures on bottom of the cups and other items at In and Out… also, did you know John 3:16 are on the bottom of the bags at the clothing store "Forever 21?" In and Out Burger was founded by an amazing Christian Family. The son that ran the operations was called home during a plane crash in the early 90′s. The scripture tradition and great service did not change and we are thankful for that. We love In and Out Burger!

I am a native speaker of American English who is very happy to have found this forum.
As I plan on starting a online TEFL course in a few weeks (either LinguaEdge or Ontesol), I would like to know if having a Master's degree in linguistics in combination with a TEFL certificate will in general increase my chances of finding work as a TEFL teacher abroad (mainly Japan, Germany and Eastern Europe).
Also, does knowing the language of the country you're interested in going has any influence on hiring decisions. I am curious about this because I speak French fluently and my German is at an intermediate level.
I get so much mixed information online about the TEFL industry that I really don't know what to believe.
Thanks for any feedback you may be able to give me.
Having a pulse and a tie are said to be the requirements for many of the eikaiwa Japan, but the MA could get you through the door of some better-paid jobs in universities, though there is some pressure on those jobs at the moment because there are some corporations muscling in, offering to handle the whole teaching operation teaching cheaply, thus turning language centres into bog standard eikaiwa.
Thanks for the information you gave me.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it.
I pretty much understand the situation in the Far East, but what are things like in Germany, France and Eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Hungary)?
You're an intelligent, educated person. They will want to give you a job teaching English whether or not you have the TESOL or other such things. The question is, do you have an EU passport? I do now, but before I fought the UK government to give me one, I went to teach in France and wasn't paid for the first 7 months, until I got rich all at once. It's the paperwork.
Last edited by konungursvia; 21-Sep-2009 at 18:24. Reason: sp
The type of jobs where a masters degree would be an advantage would also expect a few years experience. In fact, a lot of masters degree in this subject ask for at least 2 or 3 years teaching experience to get on the course in the first place. At this stage of your career, the thing that would count in your favour would be a CELTA or Trinity Certificate.
I'm not sure about other languages. I've heard mixed reports, particularly with the sorts of conversation classes that new teachers often end up in.
However, if you are a native speaker of English, the director may substantiate an exception for you, when confronted with the school inspection authorities (and/or the parents).

When the Jemma Kidd range was sold at Boots I never got round to trying it, it was then moved to Space NK to reposition it as a higher end brand. With this move the prices went up to reflect its new stance, the only problem with this is that if you had seen it for a lower price in Boots you'd not necessarily jump to pay a higher price for the same product.
ASOS had a 20% off code a while back so I decided to buy three of the eyeshadows (normal price £11 each).
ASOS also stocks the cheaper JK by Jemma Kidd range which I understand is sold at Target in America, I'd be interested to know how the cheaper range compares to the normal one in terms of quality.
All three eye shadows are shimmery but not frosty. They are softly pigmented and do have a really nice illuminating effect. They blend nicely and last all day providing you use a base (in my case TF shadow insurance).
The colours I got are:
Pearl:very sheer pink white highlight
Brulee:gold with a browned hue
Mocha:warmed chestnut brown
With Flash:
Without Flash:
Swatches: L-R Pearl,Brulee,Mocha
Although they are not unique colours they are very easy to wear and meld together really well and I have found myself using them a lot.
I would like to try more of the range but I find its more difficult finding reviews of the Make Up School products compared to the JK by Jemma Kidd products.
I bought my stuff from ASOS, once again I selected the super saver delivery and it was very quick but again not packaged that well. You can also buy this range from Space NK and Look Fantastic.com

These colours are so pretty! I haven't tried JK but I have to admit that the brands' products look lovely.ReplyDelete
Hi Marce,ReplyDelete
Yes, I don't think you could go wrong with these shades, shame their eyeshadow range is quite limited though. Thanks for stopping by :)

Guillermo del Toro's Top10
In compiling his top ten Criterions, Cronos director Guillermo del Toro had a hell of a time limiting himself. Del Toro humorously bemoaned the "unfair, arbitrary, and sadistic top ten practice," so instead he decided on ties or rather, "thematic/authorial pairings."
Fanny and Alexander: Theatrical Version
Ingmar Bergman
Bergman as a fabulist—my favorite—is absolutely mesmerizing. These two films have the primal pulse of a children's fable told by an impossibly old and wise narrator. Fanny and Alexander is Dickens, Hans Christian Andersen, and John Calvin rolled into one. Both tales are ripe with fantastical imagery and a sharp sense of the uncanny. Also, I am often surprised at how the humor and comedic elements in The Seventh Seal seem to be overlooked in favor of its reputation as a quintessential "serious" art film.
Eyes Without a Face
Georges Franju
Beauty and the Beast may be tenuous and delicate where Eyes Without a Face is overripe and pulpish, but these films are gorgeous, dark poems about fragility and horror. Both fables depend on sublime, almost ethereal, imagery to convey a sense of doom and loss: mad, fragile love clinging for dear life in a maelstrom of darkness. The clash of haunting and enchanting imagery has seldom been more powerful. Eyes Without a Face boasts an extraordinary soundtrack too!
Oliver Twist
David Lean
Most people remember David Lean for his big-scale epics, like Doctor Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, or The Bridge on the River Kwai. But here he is at his most precise and poetic. Both movies are epics of the spirit, and both are plagued by grand, utterly magical moments and settings; whether showing Oliver's mother straining and in pain, by intercutting with a flexing branch of thorns, or by lovingly lingering on Miss Havisham's decaying splendor, Lean understand the need for hyperbole in order to manage the larger-than-life Dickensian archetypes. Some of the passages in both films skate the fine line between poetry and horror.
Terry Gilliam
Terry Gilliam is a living treasure, and we are squandering him foolishly with every film of his that remains unmade. Proof that our world is the poorer for this can be found in two of his masterpieces. Gilliam is a fabulist pregnant with images—exploding with them, actually—and fierce, untamed imagination. He understands that "bad taste" is the ultimate declaration of independence from the discreet charm of the bourgeoisie. He jumps with no safety net and drags us with him into a world made coherent only by his undying faith in the tale he is telling. Brazil remains one of the most important films of my life, and Time Bandits is a Roald Dahl–ian landmark to all fantasy films. Seeing Time Bandits with my youngest daughter just two weeks ago, I was delighted when she laughed and rejoiced at the moment when Kevin's parents explode into a cloud of smoke.
Kaneto Shindo
Horrors and desire, death and lust go hand in hand in Onibaba and Kuroneko, a perverse, sweaty double bill from Kaneto Shindo. I saw these two films at age ten, and they did some serious damage to my psyche. Both are perfect fables rooted in Japanese folklore but distinctly modern in their approach to violence and sexuality. As exuberant and exquisite as a netsuke carving, these atmospheric jewels show mankind trapped in a cosmically evil world. The tales seem to fit together so perfectly that they fuse into one as time goes by. Onibaba and Kuroneko make a perfect double bill for the second circle of hell.
Paths of Glory
Stanley Kubrick
Kubrick was a fearsome intellect. His approach to filmmaking and storytelling remains as mysterious at it is compelling. The illusion of control over the medium is total. Both films speak eloquently about the scale of a man against the tide of history, and both raise the bar for every "historical" film to follow. Paths of Glory is a searing indictment of the war machine, as pertinent now as it was in its day. I suspect, however, that Kubrick was also a highly instinctive director, and that he grasped incessantly for his films. An anecdote tells us of him begging Kirk Douglas to stay in bed a few more days after an accident, because Kubrick was using the "downtime" to understand the film they were making.
Unfaithfully Yours
Preston Sturges
The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long, as the saying goes—and Sturges's films and meteoric, puzzling career confirm this. These are masterful films full of mad energy and fireworks, but Sullivan's Travels also manages to encapsulate one of the most intimate reflections about the role of the filmmaker as entertainer. Many have attempted to mine the same field as Sturges, and all have failed. A rara avis in the landscape of film.
Benjamin Christensen
Sheer terror and sheer poetry, but both stem from distinctive medieval traditions. Häxan is the filmic equivalent of a hellish engraving by Bruegel or a painting by Bosch. It's a strangely titillating record of sin and perversity that is as full of dread as it is of desire and atheistic conviction, and a condemnation of superstition that is morbidly in love with its subject. Vampyr is, strictly speaking, a memento mori, a stern reminder of death as the threshold of spiritual liberation. Like any memento mori, the film enthrones the right morbid imagery (skull, scythe, white limbo) in order to maximize the impact of the beautiful, almost intangible images that conclude it. If only Criterion had acquired my commentary track—sigh—from the UK edition.
The Night of the Hunter
Charles Laughton
The two supreme works of childhood/horror. Lamentations of worlds lost and the innocents trapped in them. Sublime fairy tales of despair that depict the adult world as a toxic environment for kids to exist in. Secret treasures kept in the hearts of children must be safeguarded from the corruption of an adult world full of certainty and arrogance. Both films are so beautiful and so dark—they truly make me weep in awe.

It seems only fitting to start with this image of Dexter holding an infant (like our nascent blog, blind to the possible horror and agony that possibly awaits us). That said, I believe Jim didn't use any less than 7 heads to achieve the dramatic effect here.
Camera: Hasselblad H1 with 80mm lens and Phase One P45+ digital back, on tripod 6 feet from subject. Shot at 1/125, f11, ISO 100.
Lighting: Key light is a Profoto, white beauty dish with grid at f11 positioned about 3 feet camera left. Another white beauty dish is 4 feet camera right as fill at f5.6. An Elinchrom 6' Octabank at f.4 is set 4 feet directly behind and above camera for overall fill. A small soft box on boom is overhead at f22 for hair lights. 2 small strip lights at f22 are behind the subject on the left and right sides for highlights. The glow behind Dexter is from a head with standard reflector at f22 on a waist-high stand behind him. 2 8' v-flats (black side facing subject) helped to flag unwanted light.
Comments: Jim ate a bran muffin for breakfast as he wanted to be light on his toes and not sluggish in case the situation called for quick movement. Only decaf coffee was served by the caterer to keep potentially harmful jitters to a minimum. He made sure to wear his Adidas track sneaks and to never make direct eye contact.

I've been meaning to do a video on how easy it is to use the FlexSqueeze options page but I haven't been able to do so as I couldn't find the right software. A while back because of a post I read on Kim's blog about Jing, I decided to give it a go, but as you can see from the comment I left on her blog it fell far short of my expectations. The main problem being that it seemed to be a bit of a memory hog and slowed everything down so much it was impossible to use.
The other day it dawned on me that I should have a look at my Top Software Online site to see if I had anything there that I can use. Low and behold what did I find but a version of Total Screen Recorder Gold! As you can see from the quality of the following video it worked extremely well, so much so that I reckon it's another tool that I'll add to my blogging arsenal.
Edit: FlexSqueeze has just received an update which makes it even easier and more versatile. I've written a post about it which you can read hereCopyright secured by Digiprove © 2010

America's birthday is also that of Calvin Coolidge, the only President to be born on the Fourth of July.
This is altogether fitting, as the man remembered as "Silent Cal" is one of the most eloquent voices for the great and enduring principles expressed in our Declaration of Independence.
There are many half-truths about Coolidge. Despite his nickname, Coolidge was far from silent in his biweekly press conferences and—years before FDR's fireside chats—regular radio addresses to the American people. Far from a quiet simpleton, he was an experienced public servant.
Coolidge served in Massachusetts as a city councilman, city solicitor, mayor, state senator, lieutenant governor, and governor before running for Vice President in 1920, joining Warren G. Harding's quest to return the country to "normalcy." He took the presidential oath early on the morning of August 3, 1923, following Harding's death. Under Coolidge, normalcy meant a return to the principles of America's Founding.
Historians remember Calvin Coolidge as saying the "chief business of the American people is business," a quote that's frequently taken out of context. For example, "the observation was apt if not profound," historian Henry Steele Commanger wrote. "Never before, not even in the McKinley era, had American society been so materialistic." Historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., went further: "For Coolidge, business was more than business; it was a religion; and to it he committed all the passion of his arid nature," Schlesinger wrote, "as he worshipped business, so he detested government. Economy was his self-confessed obsession."
But the historians get Coolidge all wrong.
Coolidge did not mean that Americans consider wealth to be the highest accomplishment. "The accumulation of wealth cannot be justified as the chief end of existence," he argued. "And there never was a time when wealth was so generally regarded as a means, or so little regarded as an end, as today."
While Americans were "profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world," their highest aim was not material success. Americans, he said, "make no concealment of the fact that we want wealth, but there are many other things that we want very much more. We want peace and honor, and that charity which is so strong an element of all civilization." Americans were also concerned about character: "industry, thrift and self-control are not sought because they create wealth, but because they create character."
Coolidge encouraged Americans to "cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which [our Founders] showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshipped."
By this, Coolidge meant a dedication to the principles of the Declaration of Independence, which was "the product of the spiritual insight of the people."
Coolidge understood that the Founders did not invent the principles contained within the Declaration of Independence. "Great ideas do not burst upon the world unannounced. They are reached by a gradual development over a length of time usually proportionate to their importance. This is especially true of the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence."
Coolidge argued that the principles of equality, liberty, and consent were related. If there were no natural rulers, then all men were free to govern themselves. Since no rights can "be bartered away nor taken from them by any earthly power, it follows as a matter of course that the practical authority of the Government has to rest on the consent of the governed."
Coolidge adhered to these principles consistently: It was Coolidge, for instance, who ended the practice of segregation in federal employment, a practice instituted by Progressive icon Woodrow Wilson.
Coolidge understood that these principles were final. "If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions." The country couldn't progress by moving away from the Declaration.
As we prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, let us not only remember the principles of America but also commemorate the birthday of the man who so eloquently articulated and defended America's enduring principles and our noble heritage of freedom.

Nearly three months after his self-described "shellacking" in the midterm elections in November, President Barack Obama will deliver a State of the Union address that appeals to the political center, emphasizing both job creation and deficit reduction.
Mr. Obama, who has signaled in both word and deed a move toward the political center ever since the elections, has been buoyed by the stirrings of a recovery both in his job-approval rating and, perhaps not coincidentally, in the US economy.
Some political analysts are pointing to the flurry of year-end bipartisan legislation in the lame-duck Congress as one factor in Obama's resurgence in the polls, which included a significant recovery in his standing among independent voters, a key constituency.
But a centerpiece of that burst of legislation was a compromise with Republicans on the Bush-era tax cuts, a political deal that noticeably angered his liberal base. Now, as Obama puts forth his agenda to Congress and the country – at a time that some potential GOP challengers are engaged in pre-campaign throat-clearing – does he run the risk of further angering the Democratic left?
A key indicator is from Obama himself, who chose as the venue to preview his State of the Union address a video emailed Saturday to supporters who helped put him in office. In the video posted on the website of Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, the president says his principal focus is to create jobs, "not just now but well into the future."
Republican themes
Obama's message to his supporters was that America would have to "out-innovate, out-build, out-compete, and out-educate" other countries. But he also appeared to invoke traditionally Republican themes when he spoke of the needs "to deal with deficits, and our debt, in a responsible way" as well as "to reform government so that it's leaner and smarter for the 21st century."
Sen. Charles Schumer, (D) of New York clashed with the administration in December over the deal with Republicans to extend all the Bush tax cuts for two years. Asked Sunday on the CBS program "Face the Nation" how the party left would react to the new focus on cutting government spending and whether Democrats would take the issue of the deficit seriously, he replied that Democrats "are serious and will continue to be" about cutting spending.
"We know that has to happen," he said, "but it has to be done in a smart way. And another thing the president is going to talk about is not cutting back on investments that will help us grow in the future – things like education, and infrastructure, and scientific research."
"Yes we have to cut, and there's a lot of waste in the government," Senator Schumer said. "We will join with our colleagues and with the president to do it. But certain key investments we will keep."
Schumer, who said Americans want "an optimistic future-oriented pro-growth platform,'' added that he thought Obama's address would be "well-received by Democrats in Congress and the country. But by all Americans more importantly."
Reconnecting with the center
Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, an independent who angered his former fellow Democrats when he endorsed Republican Sen. John McCain for president in 2008, praised Obama Sunday for his recent bipartisanship and overtures to the political center.
"The president listened to the results of the election in November, and that's – that's the right thing to do in America," he said on ABC's "This Week." "Elections have consequences. And since then, he has really reconnected to the vital center of American politics and, I think, to the American people."
Senator Lieberman, who announced last week he would not seek reelection in 2012, helped lead the charge in the Senate in December to push through the repeal of the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy that barred gays from serving openly in the military, an accomplishment of the lame-duck Congress that was applauded by liberals.
The way Obama reconnected with the center, he said, "was through the remarkable accomplishments of the lame-duck session and then an extraordinary unifying speech in Tucson. I think he's got to keep that going."
The mood of Obama's address, he said, "has to be both unifying and confident, optimistic that we can do things if we work together. I think the main focus really has to be on, how do you keep growing jobs and at the same time deal with the biggest long-term threat to America's strength and our economy, and that is the debt?"
Appearing with Lieberman on "This Week" was Sen. Kent Conrad (D) of North Dakota, who served on the bipartisan deficit commission that proposed a host of measures to reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 10 years.
A need for painful cuts
Conrad, who also announced his plan not to seek reelection next year, said leadership is required to help Americans understand the need to make painful cuts in social programs.
"The American people say, don't touch Social Security, don't touch Medicare, don't cut defense," Senator Conrad said. "That's 84 percent of the federal budget. If you can't touch 84 percent of the federal budget – and, by the way, they also don't want to touch revenue – you're down to 16 percent of the budget at a time we're borrowing 40 cents of every dollar we spend.
"So, you know, there needs to be leadership to help the American people understand how serious this problem is and that it's going to take a lot more than cutting foreign aid and taxing the rich. You're not going to solve the problem that way."
Also praising Obama yesterday for his reaction to the midterm elections was Senator McCain, who said on "Face the Nation" he thought the president had "learned a lot" in his first two years in office.
Saying he thought there was now "common ground" for Republicans and Obama, Senator McCain said, "He is a very intelligent man. I think he's doing a lot of right things."
In his address Obama is "going to be talking about cutting spending. That's what the message of the November election was. He'll be saying some things that we don't agree with, but … I think there's going to be a number of areas that we can at least find common ground on."

Recent Developments in International Supply and Demand of Propane
NPGA was originally formed in 1931 as the National Bottled Gas Association. The founders were H. Emerson Thomas (Phillips Petroleum Co.), George Oberfell (Phillips Petroleum Co.), and Mark Anton (founder and president of Suburban Propane Gas Corp. Anton was named president of the association. The first meeting was held in the fall of 1931 during the American Gas Association's yearly conference.
Beginning in 1935, efforts were taken to organize the membership according to geographic subdivisions. In 1937, the membership voted to change the name to the Liquified Petroleum Gas Association (LPGA). The association's first membership publication, LPGA Jet, was issued in March 1939, but was suspended in mid-1942 because of war paper rationing. Until 1946, the association was administered by staff of the Compressed Gas Association.
In 1946, LPGA opened its offices in Chicago, Illinois. In 1955, it restarted its membership magazine, now called LPGA Times. The association remained LPGA until a 1964 merger with the National LP-Gas Council (an organization formed in 1949 to conduct sales promotion and public relations activities) under the collective banner of the National LP-Gas Association (NLPGA). The final name change to the National Propane Gas Association, or NPGA, was ratified by the membership in April 1988.
In 2002, NPGA moved its headquarters from Lisle, Illinois to Washington, DC, where it had operated a small government affairs office since 1962. Today the association remains an active and vibrant organization serving its thousands of members with safety programs, legislative strength, and a continued tradition of excellence.

dotPeek Features
Decompile .NET assemblies to C# or IL
dotPeek can decompile any .NET assemblies into equivalent C# code and optionally show the underlying IL code.
Libraries, executables and more
dotPeek can work with a variety of formats, such as libraries (.dll), executables (.exe), and metadata files (.winmd).
dotPeek can also decompile .baml files, enabling you to reconstruct XAML UI definitions.
In addition to traditional assemblies and executables, you can have dotPeek open archives (.zip, .vsix, or .nupkg) and folders. You can also find and load NuGet packages (and their dependencies) from any online package source, or load packages listed in a packages.config file in your Visual Studio project.
View source code if available
Decompiled code is better than nothing but sometimes you can match an assembly to its source code, so why not take advantage of this? dotPeek can identify local source code based on PDB files, or fetch source code from source servers such as Microsoft Reference Source Center or SymbolSource.org. Moreover, dotPeek can generate PDB files.
Use the navigation mode drop-down in the menu bar to choose whether you only want dotPeek to decompile assemblies, or try find source code if possible.
Show or hide compiler-generated code
You can choose to show certain compiler transformations, thus making code structure that dotPeek displays very similar to what the compiler turns it to. This helps see how compiler deals with lambdas, closures, and auto-properties, among other things.
Explore running processes
The Process Explorer window shows the list of all currently running processes and allows exploring their modules and decompiling those of them that are .NET assemblies. You can choose to show or hide native processes and modules, or turn on process hierarchy view.
Filter the list to find a module or process that you're looking for, and then add its assemblies to Assembly Explorer for further investigation.
View IL code in a separate view
Whenever you want to dive deeper than source code, you can navigate to IL code from any point in decompiled C#.
The easiest way to do this is to show IL code in a separate tool window that is synchronized with the main code viewer.
View IL code as comments to decompiled C#
Alternatively, you can opt to show IL code as comments to decompiled C# code, which effectively merges its default text viewer and the normally separate IL Viewer window, all in one view.
dotPeek can display IL code both for decompiled code and for source code reproduced from symbol files.
Use your preferred color theme
dotPeek supports the same set of color themes as Visual Studio does.
For example, you can select Blue or Dark theme, or choose to synchronize your color scheme preference with Visual Studio settings.
Navigate decompiled code in different ways
As dotPeek is based on ReSharper's powerful code insight architecture, it lets you navigate decompiled assemblies in a contextual or context-insensitive ways, get a quick summary what's inside each decompiled file, set bookmarks and explore inheritance chains.
Find usages of any symbol
With dotPeek, you have several options to search where code symbols are referenced.
Invoke Find Usages to find all usages of a symbol (such as a method or property) across all loaded assemblies. The usages will be displayed in the Find Results tool window where you can group them, navigate between them, and open in the code view area.
There's also Find Usages Advanced, which is a more detailed version of Find Usages that helps you fine-tune search criteria by limiting the scope of search and other details.
Highlight usages in code viewer
dotPeek automatically highlights all visible usages of the symbol under caret, very similar to how recent versions of Visual Studio do it. This helps improve readability of decompiled code, especially when you're dealing with obfuscated identifiers.
In addition, if you want to go through all usages in file, whether or not they're currently visible, use Highlight Usages in File. This will highlight all usages of a given symbol in the current file, with two distinct colors indicating write and read usages.
Explore current document
Use Go to File Member for a quick overview of and navigation to members in a document representing a decompiled type. Enter parts of member names, and navigate directly to them.
Alternatively, if you'd like a static display of members in the current document, open and dock the File Structure tool window. You can filter this view as well: select the tool window, and just start typing characters to only focus on type members that you're interested in.
Jump to any code
By indexing all assemblies in your assembly list, as well as all their references, dotPeek provides two features to quickly jump to specific code:
- Go to Symbol helps navigate to a specific symbol declaration, which could be a type, method, field, or property. Use lowerCamelHumps syntax to locate types — for example, enter xmard to locate and open XamlMarkupDeclaredElement.
- Go to Everything allows searching for an assembly, namespace, type, member, or a recently opened file.
Set bookmarks
If there are lines of decompiled code that you feel are important and you want to go back to them later, feel free to set bookmarks.
Just drop a numbered marker with a shortcut, and jump back at any time with another shortcut. You can create up to 10 numbered bookmarks, and unlimited unnumbered bookmarks. The full list of bookmarked locations is displayed in a single pop-up window.
Navigate contextually
Whenever you put a caret on a symbol in the code view area, dotPeek offers a plethora of contextual navigation options that are all available via Navigate To drop-down menu.
For example, Go to Declaration takes you from a usage of any symbol to its declaration. If the symbol is declared on another assembly, the assembly is loaded automatically.
Go to Implementation helps navigate to end implementations of types and type members, bypassing intermediate inheritance steps in the inheritance chain, such as abstract classes.
Other useful contextual navigation options include Go to Base Symbols and Go to Extension Methods.
Navigate class hierarchies
If you're interested to navigate up and down an inheritance hierarchy from a specific type or type member, consider using Go to Base Symbols and Go to Derived Symbols.
These are extremely useful when you want to go to an inheritor or a base symbol right away.
Explore inheritance chains
If you're looking to get a visual summary of a certain inheritance chain, use Type Hierarchy.
dotPeek will show you all types that are inherited from the selected type, as well as types that it inherits itself — as a tree view, in a separate tool window.
Make sense of assemblies
dotPeek provides tools to quickly grasp the structure of any given assembly, understand relationships between assemblies, as well as organize assemblies into discrete lists, which helps only focus on assemblies that you're interested for your current assignment.
Manage assembly lists
You can work with different assembly lists depending on your context. You can save and reopen assembly lists, and clear the current list if you no longer need it. Assembly lists are not limited to .dll and .exe files: they can also contain NuGet packages, archives, and folders.
Explore assembly contents
When you're working with an assembly list, the Assembly Explorer shows what kind of references, resources, and code a particular assembly has, all the way from namespaces to type members.
For each type, it highlights nodes representing its base types and inheritors — in addition to the actual list of members. Quick search and node filtering using lowerCamelHumps are supported as well.
Explore assembly metadata
dotPeek also helps you explore assembly metadata and dig through all items (tables, blobs, strings, etc.) inside it. Under the Metadata node, you can explore values of blob items, PE file headers, usages of metadata table items.
Same as elsewhere in the assembly tree, you can double-click metadata items to decompile and display the corresponding code.
View dependencies between assemblies
If you want to know how assemblies are dependent on each other, you can select several assemblies in the Assembly Explorer and tell dotPeek to display an assembly dependency diagram.
This will visualize any relationships that exist between the selected assemblies by virtue of their references.
