In My Life
If you lived in San Francisco or in the New York metropolitan area in the late 60's and early 70's and if you liked hearing live music, the Fillmore East and/or the Fillmore West were the best places to go to see every major musical act of the day perform. Owned and operated by rock impresario, Bill Graham the Fillmore concert halls on both coasts became a Mecca for virtually every popular musical act who was touring the United States at that time. The Fillmore East was often referred to as the "Church of Rock'n'Roll" due not only to the reverence the musicians had for the place and for Bill but also for the respect concert goers had for the old converted movie theater with it's incredible acoustics. A night in the East Village of New York with dinner at the 2nd Avenue Deli and a concert at the Fillmore for me was a night well spent.
The formula for the success of the Fillmore was in part, the cause of the demise of the grand old lady. As musical acts became more and more popular, their fees to the promoter and concert hall would rise as well. Graham found it difficult to raise ticket prices to keep up with the artists' demands and as a result the super groups gravitated to large arenas that seated many more people than the 2,700 seats in both Fillmore's. Added to this was Graham's disdain for musical acts whose contractual demands read like a novel. Graham came from a time when a handshake and a persons' word were more applicable than pages of legalese created by overzealous mangers of self-important rock groups. In 1971, after approximately three years of operation, Bill closed the Fillmore East much to the dismay of all of us in the New York area who enjoyed being there with our friends as we enjoyed the best music on earth.
Although there were similar venues in the NY metropolitan area that looked like the Fillmore, they never really matched up, nor did they have the acoustics that made Bill's theater unique. Perhaps, the best live album that has ever been recorded is by the Allman Brothers at The Fillmore East in 1971. It's one of those albums that need to be in everyone's musical collection (preferably on vinyl).
So once Bill closed shop, the era of stadium rock was born. For me, Madison Square Garden became the place to go for super group concerts. Sadly, the Garden did not have the intimacy, or the acoustics, or the essence of the old Fillmore. It also did not charge the same amount of money for tickets that all of us were used to paying. "Dig down deeper into your pockets" to pay for admission or buy a beer and hopefully afford a snack could have been the slogan at the Garden when acts like The Who, Kinks or Elton John would perform. A few years prior, you probably could have seen the Who on the Fillmore bill teamed up with Eric Clapton & Cream along with Miles Davis for ½ the price being charged by the Garden.
Nevertheless, the Garden was the place to go to see all the latest musical acts. The Nassau Coliseum on Long Island and the Meadowlands Arena in New Jersey competed with the Garden for the local entertainment dollar, but all shared the same shortcomings when compared to the Fillmore. The only difference was that they all could seat ten times more people than the Fillmore much to the delight of the rocks groups, promoters and their management.
As time went on, new rock acts came and went and new generations of concert goers materialized and soon none of them really knew about the Fillmore. For me, I tried to frequent concert venues that were more intimate in size than the Garden. In New York, we had the Bottom Line which was located near New York University on Mercer Street. I am pleased to say that I saw many acts there, but am still bummed that I did not see Springsteen on the night when his performance was reviewed as the "future of rock'n'roll". The Beacon Theater on the upper West Side of Manhattan is still rockin' today and is probably the closest to the Fillmore in many ways. Also living on Long Island, I frequented the Jones Beach Theater which was a delightful place to watch and hear a concert. Surrounded by water on the bay, the open air theater is cooled by the gentle sea breezes and when combined with great music, it makes for a great evening. Over the years, the seating capacity has been raised to 15,000, which is now far more people being able to see a live performance than when I used to go there.
My wife and I would go every year to see Crosby, Stills & Nash perform at Jones Beach. Their harmonies combined with the cool night air, adequate sight lines and a superior sound system always was well worth the price of the tickets in spite of the fact that it seemed to always rain when those guys appeared. One year, after we saw another extraordinary summer show with C, S & N at Jones Beach, we found out that Neil Young was going to join his mates at a concert at Madison Square Garden in the fall. We went and the difference between the Garden and Jones Beach were profound. The Garden was overpriced, the sound system was poor in comparison to Jones Beach and the crowd was unruly, to say the least. The music was fine, but the experience was not. Since that time, I have tried my best to avoid the big concert venues and have concentrated on finding smaller halls so you can really see AND hear the performers.
Last month, I interviewed Abby Ahmad for this column. I looked to see if she was performing in my area so that I could see her in a live performance. In addition to all her club dates, I noticed that she was performing at a "House Concert" and conveniently that house was located very close to my house. Since I didn't know what a house concert was, I decided to go.
A concert in Your Home is simply a concert in your house. If you have a living room or any part of your house that can seat 20 – 30 people, you can have a house concert. The people at the Concerts in Your Home site help with the details, but it's up to the house owner to select the acts, publicize the event and be host to the musicians & guests.
When we arrived at the concert house, a sign on the front door directed us to the back of the house. There, seated at a table having dinner was the couple who owned the house, four performers and various house family members. We introduced ourselves and had a drink and brief chat learning that Bob, the owner of the house was experienced in the house concert game and was happy to have another one staged in his living room.
Bob explained that the people at Concerts in Your Home.com list available talent on their website. You choose any listed performer who should be based preferably in your area, but that is not necessary. Once you pick the artists that you would like, you then publicize the event in cooperation with the site. You are obligated to give the artists a meal and a place to stay for the night, if necessary. In return, you and your guests are treated to a night of original music in a very intimate setting. After the performance, you are expected to "pass the hat" for donations to the artists ($10 – $20 per person is suggested – which is probably close to the cost of a hot dog and a beer at the Garden). The artists can also sell their CD's, t-shirts, etc and will keep all of that money. Bob provided snacks and drinks and the performers provided a great night of music.
The beauty of having a concert in your home is that you can hear great music performed by talented performers in a relaxed setting. At Bob's house, some of the guests brought home made cakes and pies that were served along with the cheese and crackers that were there already. It's sort of like, music the way you want it to be. You can hear all the notes, understand all the words and get to know the artists on a personal level. It's a great idea.
We had a wonderful evening at Bob's house and look forward to staging a house concert at our home in the near future.

Ulu Watu
ELO- Strong clan for half, but they lack good support cards, pretty cheap, can make a fairly good deck under 10K
T1- Tanaereva Cr is necessary, expensive
T2- Tanaereva Cr is necessary, expensive, half is better, very few clans have 8 (or 7 with a leader) very powerful cards.
ELO- Very good, have good mono, but they are more expensive as the best cards are 10K+ (besides shann, who is rising)
T1- Same deal
T2- They are better in half decks, they have great cards, but they do not have a lot of powerhouses, so go with a half
M-Bison Titan Wise Men Distracted Thursday 11/11/2010, 03:48
Price? Lowest/Ulu watu
ELO? Bangers.
T1? Ulu watu
T2? Ulu watu.
(Crs included)
swagmaster420 Guru TRiNiTY Thursday 11/11/2010, 04:05
Price -> That award goes to Ulu Watu for sure. Many of the key 4* are pretty high up in the clintz.
ELO -> This week, Bangers gets the prize since the 5*s that Ulu relies on are all banned.
T1 -> Can't really say much in this department.
T2 -> Assuming you're not making a 26* deck, Bangers definitely wins this one.
-Wicer- Titan Harbingers of Ares Thursday 11/11/2010, 04:48
I am an avid user of both clans, I will give my opinion.
Bangers for sure but they are expensive but powerful.
cost for Bangers in elo: about 13k for Blaaster. another 10k for Shann and Shogunn and about 5-10k for the rest of your deck.
Ulu in elo: never ever ever make a mono Ulu deck in elo. Their good cards are elo banned and they need at least 1 5* for playability which could potentially make it harder to make a deck.
Cost: 10k for a good half deck.
Ulu are usable but not recommended.
Cost: 100-120k
Bangers: They shine here highly recommended.
Cost: 30-35k.
Ulu: They are amazing here, Have your army of 5*s + Wee Lee and Graks and Ambre and you have yourself a killer deck.
Cost: 150-210k. ( a lot less when Tan Man wasn't a CR)
Bangers: Still nice to play however aren't as powerful without Ambre compared to Ulu.
Cost: 30k (aprox)
KitsuneKatsumi Imperator XiongDang Thursday 11/11/2010, 08:36
For ELO:
You want an augmented half deck (5 characters) for either clan.
ULU's strongest characteristic is they are Kryptonite to SOA with Nanook, Janice and Lucia. So in GHEIST/ Roots weeks, ULU is a terrific choice. ULU also has better SOA options which make them effective against Nightmare/ Piranas as well.
Bangers are filled with better hitters and pack more damage and it's a lot easier to get 2HKO with them. ULU really can't get 2HKO without Stanly while practically any of the played 4* and 5* Bangers can make 2HKO.
I'd say in theory Bangers are better suited for an effective strategy (2HKO) and Ulu are better suited for a common metagame.
MABanator Hero Ramshackle Glory Friday 12/11/2010, 23:18
Elo- Bangers
T1 tie with tanereva and wee lee ulu are just as good as bangers but not better
t2- ulu watu deck of the gods- Tanerevea Hikroshina Stanly Serena lulabee miss lulabee wee lee Buck
it is beast
price- well assuming the best non permabaned cards which is my opinion of price is ulu watu Blaaster and vermyn N r pricey
noah huracan Hero Saturday 26/01/2013, 03:27
Bangers expensive but VERY easy to win with even if you go up against nightmare. ulu watu against nightmare just say you lost but a little bit cheaper. BANGERS!!!

Most of my childhood photographs were taken with this camera. I remember the anticipatory buzzing of the self timer and the clean click as it went off. It has sat precariously on many a rock, many a tree-stump, propped up with sticks and books and whatever could be had to hold it in place. In all those years, it never fell, it was never dropped. Self-timed family portraits were plentiful and the lens escaped without a speck of dust. The leather pouch endured through multiple Italy's, Greece, France, Germany, India, road trips and backpacking, and was re-sewn at one point, crookedly and with different colors of thread. This camera has been in my life for years and I never thought twice about it, until now, when it has made me love it.
Shooting in film makes you do everything in one's, instead of in multiples. It's that one moment, in that particular light, and then it makes you wait. And wait. Until you finish the roll. Which in my case is weeks. And since I'm still learning, only half come out well, which makes my patience stretch to anxiety for the next roll to come. Yes indeed, having a film camera is like searching for the perfect studio; it might suck at the moment but once it happens, it can be rather marvelous.

D. A. candidate/ Chief Deputy D.A. Jackie Lacey
Atty. General Kamala D. Harris
Lacey gained the highest number of votes in the primary for D.A. and if elected, she would become LA's first Black female D.A. in history
California Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris has thrown her support behind Jackie Lacey in the race to become Los Angeles County's next district attorney.
The endorsement was announced earlier this week by the Lacey campaign, which in recent weeks has also touted support from the Los Angeles County Police Chiefs Assn. and the county's Democratic Party. Lacey, the county's Chief Deputy District Attorney, is facing Deputy Dist. Atty. Alan Jackson in the November runoff.
Harris' backing means Lacey has the support of both major party nominees who squared off in the 2010 election for attorney general, when Democrat Harris narrowly defeated Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley, a Republican and Lacey's boss.
Harris made history by becoming the first woman and first Black candidate to win an election as the state's top law enforcement officer. Lacey is similarly hoping to become the county's first female and first Black District Attorney.
Her opponent also has rolled out several recent endorsements in the nonpartisan race. Jackson's campaign says he has the backing of former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan, the local Republican Party and more than 20 local police unions, including those representing Burbank and Glendale officers.
Two of the most contentious issues that will be facing the next D.A. are the death penalty and the governor's order sending state prisoners to an already overcrowded jail system throughout the state.
In a previous interview, Lacey explained her position on the death penalty thus: "I think the biggest fear, morally, of the death penalty is that we do not want to execute the wrong person. I think we need checks and balances in place. Under my administration, (the DA's) office would make absolutely sure the evidence points to the right person. One of the reforms we have to do is streamline the appeals process. It suffers from a lack of training for lawyers to handle those appeals. Although I'm a prosecutor who has been on the side of seeking justice by seeking the death penalty, I believe everybody has the right to a fair trial."
And about the governor sending prisoners to the jail system, she said, "I believe at one point the prisons were at 230 percent their capacity, which is inhumane. What I disagree with is how quickly he thrust this responsibility onto the county. [AB 109] was passed in less than a day; I think it only took four or five hours. When we got the law, it took a team of lawyers a month to figure out what it was about. I also think if the governor was going to shift all of these people over here, where is the money? You can't just give us the problems of the state without giving us the money. And the money has not arrived. The Governor is counting on you guys voting for the tax increase in November."
The D.A.'s office of Los Angeles County is probably the largest county prosecutor's office in the nation and in addition, it maintains a high profile, notwithstanding its actual closeness to the entertainment capital. Therefore, the next person to head the office has to be carefully vetted in every possible way, and have an impeccable record, in and out of the judicial and legal communities.
Last Tuesday evening, Lacey and Jackson squared off to a packed auditorium in downtown L.A. Lacey (who got 32 percent) and Jackson (who got 24 percent) spent most of the two hours trading barbs at each other's records, and why – as each one put it – he/she would be the better D.A. for the county.
Presently, they both work for the same D.A., Steve Cooley, however, he has endorsed Lacey for his job. She has a good background as an administrator and years of courtroom experience. Jackson may have courtroom experience, but his administrative skills – something that is mandatory for the D.A.'s job – is an unknown factor at this point.
Lacey zoomed in on that during their exchange by describing him as being "naïve and ignorant of the politics of the D.A.'s office" that he is seeking to run. She also said that she resented his attitude: "To say that I am not familiar or that I am out of touch is ridiculous."
The forum was hosted by Los Angeles County Organization of Police and Sheriffs (LACOPS), a decade-old coalition of city and county law enforcement organizations, and it was the first debate since the primary. It was moderated by Warren Olney of KCRW Radio. In addition, the public was invited, and allowed to ask questions of the candidates at the end of the debate.

Uncharted Fight For Fortune: PS Vita card game announced, trailered
Uncharted: Fight For Fortune has been officially unveiled by Sony for PS Vita. It's a turn-based card game that was rumoured after it appeared on an age-rating classification site. Get all the details below.
PS Blog EU reveals that Uncharted: Golden Abyss developer Sony Bend is creating the title, and that it is launching in December.
Here's the reveal trailer:
The aim is to create a Faction comprised of Uncharted's heroes, villains and mercs, then to buff them with Resources and Fortune cards that bestow them with new abilities and gear.
From there you take your deck into battle and fight it out until either side is defeated. Players can attack their opponent, or their opponent's cards, removing them from play. Once your opponent's health reaches zero the game is over.
Simple no? The game will also use all of the 300 artefacts found in Uncharted: Golden Abyss as buffs for your Faction.
Here's some artwork:
On the blog, co-director Chris Reese said, "Bend Studio Co-Director John Garvin and I have led the charge on Uncharted Fight for Fortune since the launch of Uncharted: Golden Abyss to take the Uncharted experience even further. In addition to our close collaboration with Naughty Dog, we are also pleased to introduce One Loop Games, a team of talented industry veterans who worked closely with us to chart new ground in the Uncharted universe."
Uncharted as a card game – what do you make of that then readers?

Looks like Starbuck has unveiled a new logo. The single biggest change is that they competely dropped the words "Starbucks Coffee" from the logo. This seems to be causing a little bit of an uproar, but let's think through why they would drop it...
Starbucks is so well-known, maybe they don't need the logo. Think about it... McDonald's basically gets away with just using the Golden Arches. Why couldn't Starbucks do the same?
They won't drop the name everywhere. I doubt they'll drop the name on every sign outside every store in the universe. It's gone from the cup, and a few other places.

Slammed: A Seabrook officer indicted
April 13. 2014 10:36PM
A Seabrook police officer has been indicted for "unprivileged physical contact" with a criminal suspect thanks to a police surveillance video that surfaced years after the incident. The indictment is good news. It will allow the court system to finally decide whether an officer abused a suspect, as the now public and widely viewed tape appears to show.
Seabrook officer Mark Richardson is shown on the video slamming Michael Bergeron Jr.'s head into a concrete wall as the two of them walked with two other officers down a long hallway. Bergeron posted the video on YouTube this past January, years after the Nov. 11, 2009 incident. It was an immediate Internet sensation.
Bergeron had been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol as well as marijuana possession. He was convicted of both in June 2010.
The video appears to show the kind of police brutality suspects allege from time to time, but which seldom is caught on video. It is good news that there will be a trial. Police have to be held to the same standards as everyone else, and any random Joe seen doing the same thing on video certainly would be indicted.

Last summer Robert Proctor, a Stanford professor who studies the history of tobacco, was surprised to receive court papers accusing him of witness tampering and witness intimidation, along with a subpoena for his unfinished book manuscript. Then in January he got another subpoena, this one for three years of e-mails with a colleague, and also for his computer hard drive. Attorneys for R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris USA are trying to get him barred from testifying in a Florida court as an expert witness on behalf of a smoker with cancer who is suing the companies.
Proctor hadn't tampered with any witnesses; all he had done was e-mail a colleague at the University of Florida asking about grad students there who were doing research for Big Tobacco's legal defense. But he's had to hire his own lawyers and spend days in depositions, defending himself from the charges. He told me he had recently spent "sixteen hours under oath, twelve lawyers in a room overlooking San Francisco Bay, a million dollars spent on deposing me and going after these e-mails."
There's a reason Big Tobacco would like to keep Proctor out of the courtroom. He's one of only two historians who currently testify on behalf of smokers with cancer–while forty historians have testified on behalf of the tobacco industry. In 1999 Proctor became the first historian to testify against Big Tobacco, and over the past ten years he has testified in fifteen cases. He's published several books, including Cancer Wars: How Politics Shapes What We Know and Don't Know (1995), and in his co-edited book, Agnotology: The Making and Unmaking of Ignorance (2008), he examines "the tobacco industry's efforts to manufacture doubt about the hazards of smoking." He's also a fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
The harassment of Proctor by Big Tobacco's law firms reflects the new landscape of litigation over the health hazards of smoking. In the previous chapter of this long-running story, forty-six state attorneys general reached a master settlement of $246 billion with Big Tobacco in 1998 as compensation for states' expenditures on cancer caused by tobacco. The next year the Clinton Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit, U.S. v. Philip Morris et al., which was decided in 2006 by Judge Gladys Kessler in federal district court in Washington. She ruled that for fifty years the tobacco companies had "lied, misrepresented and deceived the American public…about the devastating health effects of smoking." In late February both sides asked the Supreme Court to review that case.
Meanwhile, plaintiffs' attorneys were working on a national class-action suit, Engle v. R.J. Reynolds, on behalf of smokers with cancer. But the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit limited the suit to Florida, where in 1999 jurors awarded smokers with cancer $145 billion, the largest punitive damage jury award in US history. In 2006 the Florida Supreme Court accepted the decision but dissolved the class and said each case had to be tried separately. As a result, there's a lot of tobacco litigation going on in Florida right now–potentially 9,000 lawsuits. In one of the first of those "Engle progeny" cases, a Fort Lauderdale jury in November awarded Lucinda Naugle $300 million. Proctor is scheduled to testify in another.

Agent says alleged gunrunner used Granite State post officeBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
February 27. 2014 10:01PM
BRENTWOOD — A Hampton man charged with illegally selling firearms through an underground Internet marketplace allegedly brokered his first transaction with an undercover federal agent by sending a firearm from the New Castle post office to a location in Thailand.
Investigators believe Matthew Crisafi, 38, of Hampton used the post office in the small island town — about 14 miles from his home — to avoid detection from law enforcement, according to a search warrant.
Crisafi agreed to sell a Smith & Wesson .380 semi-automatic handgun in May 2013 after spending weeks negotiating with an undercover federal agent posing as a buyer on the underground web marketplace "Black Market Reloaded," according to a search warrant affidavit.
Investigators compare the BMR online marketplace — only accessible via specialized software — to a version of eBay or Amazon that sold weapons illegally.
Crisafi was paid $3,300 in Bitcoin for that first transaction, but unwittingly sent the gun to an address affiliated with an undercover operation being carried out by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Special Agent Ryan Landers said in a sworn affidavit.
Once Crisafi sold his first gun to his unknown buyer, he agreed to sell three more firearms, which included a Glock Model 26, a KelTec .32 caliber semi-automatic handgun, and a Norinco SKS 7.62 semi-automatic rifle.
He offered to sell all three weapons for $8,500 total, investigators said.
Crisafi, who owns an independent trucking company, arranged to ship the weapons through New Jersey en route to Thailand, according to Landers.
The deals were communicated between the agent and Crisafi through an online private messaging system.
Landers said on May 29, Crisafi suggested to his new buyer that he could broker further deals, saying in part, "the possibilities are endless once we do enough business."
According to the affidavit, Crisafi also told investigators during his online chats that he would be willing to sell military-style, semi-automatic rifles to his buyer, but that they "would need to take additional precautions during shipment in order to evade detection by law enforcement officials."
The next day, court documents state he sent a follow-up message to the undercover agent saying, "I was going to mention that shipping overseas through a ship rather than a plane gets through customs a lot easier than by plane (because) the cargo that goes on a plane is much more scrutinized than by a boat."
"I am very confident I can get you a few at a time without raising suspicion," he also wrote, according to the affidavit.
Crisafi continued to pitch other potential gun sales and prices while speaking with the undercover investigator in early June, court documents say.
"I want to make your customers happy along with a profit," he allegedly wrote.
Crisafi is now trying to broker a plea deal in U.S. District Court in New Jersey — three months after his arrest by Hampton police and federal authorities.
He also faces two counts of possession of a controlled drug in Rockingham County from the Nov. 7 raid on his home.
Police seized quantities of marijuana and steroids while searching Crisafi's home on Esker Road, according to court records.
He is free on $50,000 bail, pending his next court date.

U.S. stock futures rose, following a two-day slide for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, as new home construction increased and investors awaited the start of a Federal Reserve meeting.
Homebuilders advanced as Lennar Corp. gained 1.3%. Electronic Arts Inc. rose 1.8% after the computer-game publisher ousted its chief executive officer. Boeing Co. advanced 0.5% after Ryanair Holdings Plc agreed to buy $15.6 billion of airplanes. Lululemon Athletica Inc. tumbled 4.7% after lowering its sales forecast on a pants shortage.
Futures on the S&P 500 expiring in June rose 0.2% to 1,550 at 9:15 a.m. in New York. The equity benchmark fell 0.6% yesterday after the euro area forced Cyprus to extract a levy from bank deposits in return for a bailout. Dow Jones Industrial Average contracts added 21 points, or 0.2%, to 14,411 today.
"Housing is going to provide a positive backdrop to the macro economic environment and as such stocks," Michael Mullaney, the chief investment officer at Fiduciary Trust in Boston, which manages about $9.5 billion of assets, said in a phone interview. "We don't think that the market is in any serious condition for a significant sell-off. If it does pull back it will just be a buying opportunity at lower prices."
The Federal Open Market Committee begins a two-day meeting at 9 a.m. today. The policy makers agreed in December to link record-low interest rates to thresholds for unemployment and inflation so that investors and households know what conditions will prompt the Fed to consider raising rates.
Housing Starts
Builders broke ground on 917,000 homes at an annual rate, up 0.8% from a revised 910,000 pace in January that was higher than initially estimated, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. Building permits, a proxy for future construction, advanced 4.6% to 946,000, the strongest since June 2008.
U.S. stocks fell yesterday as the Cypriot bank levy sparked concern that the euro area's debt crisis will reignite.
Cypriot lawmakers meet at 6 p.m. in Nicosia today to debate how to spread a proposed charge on bank deposits among account holders. The levy, announced on March 16, sparked concern among investors about setting a precedent by breaking the taboo against raiding bank accounts. A European Union official said today that Cyprus is an "entirely unique" situation.
"We are talking about a one-off levy," Simon O'Connor, spokesman for EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn, told reporters in Brussels.

Bloody Moon (US - DVD)
Gabe Powers actually enjoys a Jess Franco movie...I know, I'm scared too...
A group of college girls on vacation in Spain are terrorized by a masked killer. The suspects include a local pervert with a nasty facial scar, a local playboy, and a woman looking for her proper inheritance. Between murders there is sex and nudity.
The difference between a Giallo and a Slasher is always up for debate. The general rule of thumb is to question the identity of the killer—if the identity is a secret to be solved, it's usually a Giallo, if the identity is known (or entirely incongruent), it's usually a Slasher. Another clue is the motivation of the murders—if the killer is killing for some kind of profit, it's usually a Giallo, if he or she is killing because his or her only character motivation is killing people, it's usually a Slasher. There are exceptions to the rule all over the place, and Franco's film twists between the two genres pretty constantly. I'd stick Bloody Moon somewhere in the no man's land of Giallo/Slasher blends like Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces and Lucio Fulci's New York Ripper.
Strangely there aren't many cues to point obviously towards Bloody Moon being a Jesus Franco film. With the exception of some of his dreamier sexy vampire films, Franco has normally aspired to make his movies look and act like other, more popular films, but he always manages to fill the screen with his own brand of soft-focus and unnecessary zooms. This is possibly the first film I've seen from the director that succeeds in looking like the films it emulates. There is one clever bit where a large and scary shadow is revealed to be a small child, but for the most part Franco just takes his stalk and slash from other Slasher and Giallo stand-bys, including black gloves caressing knives, and sexy women preparing to shower.
Despite his usual aversion to particularly nasty violence, Franco isn't afraid to cut loose with the film's gore (which is surprisingly believably executed, comparatively speaking, and still banned in the UK), and in the absence of an intriguing plot (honestly I couldn't make sense of the majority of the film's story, besides the fact that it was constantly ripping off Bava's Bay of Blood), or an original stylistic voice, graphic violence is usually all a Slasher movie has going for itself. That and nudity, and Franco's eye for sexy naked girls is set to its usual 20/20 clarity. The only area where the director realistically disappoints, and thus fails to make an entirely compelling little movie, is suspense. After years of sitting through scenes that last entire minutes longer then they should, this is the one time I actually wanted Franco to hold on to something, and he refuses. The masked murderer's extremely unassuming frame doesn't help.
Severin's Devil Hunter disc had some kind of mastering error, but I'm happy to report that things are back on track for Bloody Moon, which may be the studio's most impressive release to date. I haven't had the pleasure of watching any other copy of the film on DVD, but from what I gather this represents its first widescreen presentation ever, and unlike the Cannibal Terror disc, the framing seems perfect. The print is a bit on the dark side, and the colours are perhaps a tiny bit dulled, but overall this is a surprisingly clean and detailed presentation. You will notice some low level noise in the darkest warm colours, but overall compression isn't any more invasive than most new release genre work. There are three or four spots where the film quality drops noticeably, and is suddenly plagued with artefacts, scratches and track lines. This happens during moments of particularly graphic violence, leading this reviewer to believe that the scene had been previously cut from earlier prints.
Beyond a few minor hisses on the dialogue track, this discs solo mono English track is very clean. Mono doesn't allow for a lot of depth, but in comparison to similar tracks from similar films this track features some decent ambiance, and a well balanced sense of dialogue, effects, and music. The track is obviously dubbed (though Franco is Spanish the film is German in origin), but even if the lip-sync doesn't add up the general volume levels do. Gerhard Heinz's musical score is limited to only a handful of tracks, but what they lack in variety they more than make up for in inappropriateness. There's a few pretty good John Carpenter and Morricone inspired tracks, but the most used song is a lonesome guitar medley worthy of Top Gun.
Once again we're treated to a grandfatherly storytelling from the man himself, Jesus Franco, sitting in the same chair and smoking more cigarettes. It's clear from the first few minutes of the interview that Franco did this one for the money (as he often did, the guy's made over two hundred movies after all), and that the production had some pretty big hurdles, or as Franco calls them, 'false promises'. One of the strangest 'false promises' was the promise of Pink Floyd's involvement with the film. In some alternate universe Pink Floyd said 'yes' to Jesus Franco, and became the poor man's version of Goblin, rather than the other way around (though I personally prefer Goblin's music, I cannot deny their standing). Consistently honest about his films (not to mention great about remembering specifics for a seventy-two year old that has made more than two hundred films), Franco doesn't lie about the film's quality, but seems happy with his 'restrained' gore scenes, and his sense of humour (though I hadn't realized it was a joke myself). Also included on the disc is a spoiler heavy US trailer.
Well, it ain't an art film, or a good film, or even a well made film, but damn if I didn't enjoy watching the utter silliness and graphic bloodshed of Jesus Franco's most straightforward attempt at Slasher and Giallo filmmaking. Hell, I plan on watching it again, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of the original Video Nasties. If you're a fan of bloody murder on film, or just enjoy a generally entertaining bad horror movies you might want to find a copy of Bloody Moon. This represents the film's first ever uncut release in the US, and the first widescreen release anywhere, so there's no time like the present. May I recommend a triple feature with Juan Piquer Simón's Pieces and Lucio Fulci's New York Ripper?

There's No "Theory" in Criminal Conspiracy
Drone Killer: I Have a Duty and I Execute My Duty by WILLIAM GRIGG
(July 30, 2012) One wonders if drone pilot Col. D. Scott Brenton listens to Louis Armstrong in the suburban Air National Guard Base in Syracuse from which he murders people 7,000 miles away."I see mothers with children, I see fathers with children, I see fathers with mothers, I see kids playing soccer," Brenton tells the New York Times. Drone operators see their intended targets 'wake up in the morning, do their work, go to sleep at night," explains Dave, another high-tech murderer who killed from an office cockpit at Nevada's Creech Air Force Base and who now trains new recruits to the cyber-killer corps at New Mexico's Holloman Air Force Base.When instructed to kill someone he has stalked from the air for a prolonged period, "I feel no emotional attachment to the enemy," Brenton insists. "I have a duty, and I execute my duty." When the deed is done, he points out, nobody "in my immediate environment is aware of anything that has occurred.â€â€œThere was a good reason for killing the people that I did, and I go through it in my head over and over and over,†insists another drone operator named Will, who — like Dave — served a deskbound "combat†tour at Creech and now trains others to do likewise at Holloman Air Base.

OGDEN, Utah (AP) — When she died, Alexis Rasmussen was a 16-year-old Utah girl trying to find her own identity, her mother said.
Instead, Rasmussen found Dea Millerberg, a 41-year-old woman who was sentenced Thursday for helping her husband dispose of the teen's body after baby-sitting turned into a night of sex and drugs.
"I go back over and over again, thinking what I could have done to make things different. I wonder if she ever does the same thing," said the girl's mother, Dawn Miera. "I don't know what Lexie found in Dea that she could not get from me."
Prosecutors said the Millerbergs gave the teen drugs in exchange for baby-sitting services, and the three had a drug-fueled sexual relationship that led to Rasmussen's death from an overdose in 2011.
A state judge sentenced her to up to five years in prison Thursday, calling the crime heinous and depraved.
"She lost all her common sense, and was not in a position to help Alexis when she needed her the most," said Judge W. Brent West. He said he would have leveled a harsher penalty if not for a plea deal prosecutors agreed to after Millerberg testified against her husband.
Prosecutor Dee Smith said Rasmussen's death wasn't ruled a homicide and he might not have been able to convict 38-year-old Eric Millerberg without her testimony.
"He was the one who was most responsible for this act," Smith said. Eric Millerberg put a hit out on his wife after she told a jury that her husband injected the girl with heroin and methamphetamine, defense attorney Michael Bouwhuis said. Eric Millerberg was sentenced to up to life in prison.
Bouwhuis asked the judge for probation for Dea Millerberg, saying she had been off drugs for three years since Rasmussen's death. She moved to Wyoming to live with her aunt and regained custody of her children.
Millerberg had an unstable mother, started drinking at 13 and later turned to drugs, her attorney said. She was abused by Eric Millerberg as well as by a previous husband. She nevertheless finished high school, earned a nursing degree and bought a home, he said.
But after Millerberg was released from a stint in jail, she started using drugs again. The night Rasmussen died, prosecutors said she helped her husband put the girl's body in their car. The couple left their 6-year-old daughter at home, strapped their baby into their car and drove to a remote, wooded area to dump the girl's body. Rasmussen was missing for more than a month before police found the body near a river.
Millerberg pleaded guilty in June to three felonies, including desecration of a human body. The county attorney said Thursday that he was satisfied with the sentence in what he called a difficult case.
"It's the kind of thing that makes you hug your kids at night," he said.

FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — A diverse group of protesters, many of them children, marched peacefully Saturday as calm prevailed for a fourth straight day in the St. Louis suburb where an unarmed black 18-year-old was shot by a white police officer, setting off more than a week of unrest.
Several community activists walked side-by-side with police officers in uniform as they walked down one of the main streets in Ferguson that had been filled with armored vehicles and officers in riot gear less than a week ago.
"I think some of the frustration is dying down because more information is coming out," said Alana Ramey, 25, a St. Louis resident who joined the afternoon march. "I think there is more action going on. People are being more organized and that is helping."
By late Saturday night, just a few dozen peaceful protesters remained, with an even more sparse police presence along the three-block stretch of West Florissant Avenue that had been the site of the heaviest unrest. Unlike other nights, the street remained open to traffic.
A St. Louis County police spokesman reported one arrest for destruction of property, though an Associated Press reporter observed a second arrest.
The protesters included a dozen students and recent graduates of Harvard University who arrived in Ferguson after a 20-hour drive. The Harvard contingent chatted amicably with Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who commended their passion and encouraged them to remain civically active.
"When we go back to our communities, there's a Ferguson near us," said the Rev. Willie Bodrick II, 26, of Roxbury, Massachusetts, a youth minister and recent graduate of Harvard Divinity School.
The images of well-armed suburban police officers confronting protesters in Ferguson with tear gas and rubber bullets after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson prompted widespread criticism of how local law enforcement agencies have used federal grants to obtain military gear from the Pentagon.
President Barack Obama ordered the White House to conduct a review of those programs after calling for more separation between the nation's armed forces and civilian police.
The federal government also has launched its own investigation into the shooting, sending dozens of FBI agents to Ferguson to question witnesses. The St. Louis County prosecutor has convened a grand jury to begin hearing evidence in the case and to decide whether to indict Wilson in the shooting.
About 10 miles south of Ferguson, supporters of Wilson rallied at a sports pub owned by the family of Mark Rodebaugh, a 21-year veteran of the St. Louis police department. Rodebaugh said he wanted to have the event because Wilson's name has been "dragged through the mud." He said it felt good to see supporters who weren't either officers themselves or relatives of officers.
"We've got a hard job to do," he said. "We want people to know they shouldn't give up on law enforcement."
Wilson has not spoken publicly since the shooting. He has been on paid administrative leave and Associated Press reporters have not been able to contact him.
Earlier Saturday, Normandy High School, which Brown attended, observed a moment of silence for him at the start of a home football game.
"This is something we shouldn't forget," said Donald Vaughan Cross, 77, a Hanley Hills resident whose grandson played for opposing team, Lift for Life Academy Charter. "This is something that should be on the minds of everybody — young ones and old ones. And the old ones like myself, we remember. It's still going on. When is it going to stop? When is it going to end?"
Burnett reported from St. Louis. Associated Press writer Alan Scher Zagier contributed to this report from Ferguson.

Frame & Panel Dresser
Traditional techniques eliminate wood-movement concerns, reduce construction time and save money.
By Troy Sexton
Pages: 40-48

Nice looking dresser, huh? Looks complicated, right? Believe it or not, two router-table setups allow you to build the case quickly using less-expensive wood and plywood for the interior, making the assembly more stable.
You could build this dresser with solid-wood slab sides, but that's just going to cause problems with wood movement. Frame-and-panel construction uses loose panels that allow for wood expansion and contraction because of changes in relative humidity.

Every morning I start my day writing a list of things that I am grateful for. Sometimes they are big things (Jim, my dogs, opportunities to learn, grow and improve relationships between people and animals) and sometimes they are small (the plaintive Wooo Heee song of courting Chickadees, the deep, purple blue of the first spring flowers). This morning I surprised myself, by adding:I am grateful that none of my dogs potty in the house.House training and elimination control is like health, isn't it? If everything is fine, you don't really think about it much. But when it's not, it can be overwhelming. I went through two years living with old dogs who simply couldn't control themselves.

If the last time you visited Pilsen was for brunch at Nightwood or a hangover-curing bowl of menudo at Nuevo Leon, it's time to return. This lineup starts on 18th Street and covers a bit more than a mile of ground on the way over to Halsted; hop the #18 bus if you're not up for the leisurely stroll along the neighborhood's main drag.
FIRST: Nitecap Coffee Bar (1738 W. 18th St. 312-846-1149)
Take the Pink Line to fuel up for the day at this month-old cafe just a few steps west of the 18th Street station. The owners brew local roaster Metropolis and make their own caramel and chocolate syrups to flavor its lattes ($3.20-$4.20). The bakery case temps with treats such as cupcakes, muffins and cookies (some vegan), including made-from-scratch kolaczki, a traditional Polish cookie
NEXT: Dia de los Tamales (939 W. 18th St. 312-496-3057)
Work up an appetite for lunch by walking east along 18th Street and browsing vintage and resale shops on your way to this recently opened tamale shop with a façade decorated with Day of the Dead-style skulls on the façade. It's kind of like a Hot Doug's for tamales ($3 apiece), with rotating specials and funky fillings ranging from slow-roasted pork with ghost pepper-spiced Apocalypse sauce to coconut-curry chicken to Italian beef and giardiniera. The vegan tamale made with spicy black beans and corn sold out on opening day two weekends ago. The current set-up is grab-and-go, so nosh on your tamales as you continue down 18th Street toward Halsted.
LAST: Chocolat Uzma Sharif (1823 S. Halsted St. 312-694-3471)
End your excursion on a sweet note at this artisanal candy shop, holding court amongst art galleries since last June. Inside, picture-perfect creations from owner and chocolate maker Uzma Sharif--a former pastry chef at Puck's Cafe inside the Museum of Contemporary Art--range from chili-spiced caramels to chocolate discs sprinkled with candied rose petals to a toasted coconut and lime chocolate bar. Select your favorites from the chocolate bar (99 cents to $2.25 per piece) or ask Sharif to pack up a multi-piece box with your selections (or hers). Take your treats to-go or linger with a cup of Rishi tea or dark Belgian sipping chocolate ($2.79).

Dartmouth-Hitchcock nets grant to study peripheral artery diseaseBy MICHAEL COUSINEAU
New Hampshire Union Leader
January 15. 2018 10:31PM
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center will partner with a Boston hospital under a four-year grant to do research on peripheral artery disease to develop effective therapies and reduce the number of patients who need limbs amputated.
"By working together, make discoveries that can be translated into quickly effective therapies for the population to reduce the risk of death and disability from heart and vascular diseases," Dr. Mark Creager, director of Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Heart and Vascular Center, said in an interview Monday.
The American Heart Association, where Creager once served as president, has awarded a $3.7 million grant for Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Brigham and Women's Hospital to form a national center to focus on peripheral artery disease and critical limb ischemia.
"This research will seek to learn what causes critical limb ischemia — severe obstruction of the arteries which markedly reduces blood flow to the extremities (hands, feet and legs) and has progressed to the point of severe pain and skin ulcers or sores," according to the American Heart Association.
"Researchers will also seek new ways to help identify people at risk by using practical risk tools that could be delivered on a website or phone; and personalize the application of intensive medical therapies to the highest risk patients to reduce the burden of critical limb ischemia and amputation in patients with diabetes," the association said.
People with peripheral artery disease often feel pain or discomfort in their calf or thigh while walking. People with diabetes are at twice the risk of getting the disease and at six-fold the risk of getting a leg amputated compared to those who don't have diabetes, Creager said.
The general population is at highest risk for peripheral artery disease at age 65 and over, but patients with diabetes will "get it sooner and they get it more frequently," Creager said. Peripheral artery disease is not well known to the public, and many doctors don't know about it either, he said.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College will provide "more than a handful, less than a dozen" employees to work on the project, said Creager, who previously worked 31 years at Brigham and Women's Hospital before leaving in 2015 to join D-H.
Peripheral artery disease affects 8 million to 10 million Americans and more than 200 million people worldwide. Critical limb ischemia probably affects 1 to 2 percent of the peripheral artery disease population, he said.
The United States spends billions of dollars annually on the consequences of the two, including income lost from patients not being able to work, Creager said.
Preventing fewer people from developing critical limb ischemia should lead to a savings in health-care spending, he said.
Researchers hope to determine the molecular mechanisms that lead to the disease's progression, determine what are the most effective therapies and lastly, "figure out ways to best deliver the most effective care with these therapies with patients with peripheral artery disease and diabetes to prevent the critical limb ischemia from developing," Creager said.

Ford shares down as 4Q profit eclipsed by Europe
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford is posting record profits in North America, but it's not enough to quell unease about the company's prospects elsewhere.
Ford's shares dropped nearly 5 percent Tuesday after the company said it expects to lose more money in Europe this year and break even in Asia and South America. The final straw for investors: Ford said sales will increase next year but profits should remain about the same, dashing hopes that margins will continue to grow.
The No. 2 U.S. automaker posted record pretax profit of $8.3 billion in North America in 2012, the result of a six-year turnaround orchestrated by CEO Alan Mulally. It's reaching back into that playbook to fix its operations in Europe, where it lost $1.75 billion. The European restructuring plan announced in October was one reason Ford's stock has been trading at levels not seen since 2011.
US consumers less optimistic after tax increase
WASHINGTON (AP) — An increase in Social Security taxes is leaving Americans with less take-home pay — and a more negative outlook for the U.S. economy.
The Conference Board said Tuesday that its index of consumer confidence dropped 8.1 points in January from December to 58.6. That's the lowest reading in 14 months and the third straight decline.
Congress and the White House reached a deal in January to keep income taxes from rising on most Americans. But the agreement did not extend a temporary cut in Social Security taxes.
Fed likely to stick to low-rate message this week
WASHINGTON (AP) — When the Federal Reserve meets this week, it's likely to affirm the message that it intends to help lift the economy, and consumers and businesses will be able to borrow cheaply well into the future — even after unemployment has dropped sharply.
Last month the Fed signaled for the first time that it will tie its policies to specific economic barometers. It said that as long as the inflation outlook is mild, it could keep short-term rates near zero until the unemployment rate dips below 6.5 percent from the current 7.8 percent.
That could take until the end of 2015, the Fed predicted last month.
Adver-teasers: Super Bowl viewers get peek at ads
NEW YORK (AP) — Super Bowl advertisers are learning the art of the tease.
Supermodel Kate Upton appears in an online Mercedes-Benz video in a low-cut top. A man wakes up with his face covered in smeared lipstick and his hands bound in furry handcuffs in a Gildan Activewear clip. And "30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan seemingly curses in a spot for Kraft's Mio flavored drops.
Super Bowl advertisers no longer are keeping spots a secret until the Big Game. They're releasing online snippets of their ads or longer video trailers that allude to the action in the Game Day spot.
It's an effort to squeeze more publicity out of advertising's biggest stage by creating pregame buzz. Advertisers are shelling out $4 million to get their 30-second spots in front of the 111 million viewers expected to tune into the game. But they're looking for ways to reach even more people. About half of more than 30 super Bowl advertisers are expected to have teaser ads this year, up from 10 last year, according to Hulu, which aggregates Super Bowl ads on its AdZone Web site.
Hostess set to announce bidder for Twinkies
NEW YORK (AP) — The indestructible Twinkie appears to be one step closer to a comeback.
Hostess Brands is close to announcing that it has picked two investment firms — C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management — as the lead bidders for its Twinkies and other snack cakes, according to a source close to the situation who was not authorized to comment publicly on the talks.
The joint "stalking horse" bid would set the floor for an auction process that lets competitors make better offers. A judge would have to approve any final sale.
US home prices accelerate in November
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices accelerated in November compared with a year ago, pushed higher by rising sales and a tighter supply of available homes.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 5.5 percent in November compared with the same month a year ago. That's the largest year-over-year gain in six years.
All but one of the cities in the index posted annual gains. The largest gain was in Phoenix, where prices jumped nearly 23 percent. It was followed by San Francisco, where prices rose 12.7 percent, and Detroit, where they increased 11.9 percent.
3 months after Sandy, victims still waiting for relief
NEW YORK (AP) — Devon Lawrence neatly stacked bricks on the gas burner of his kitchen stove and turned up the blue flame, creating a sort of radiator that warmed the ice-cold room.
His two-story house in the Far Rockaway section of Queens hasn't had working heat since Superstorm Sandy's floodwaters destroyed the oil burner in the basement. Now mold is growing upstairs because the house has been cold and damp for so long.
Lawrence wakes early every morning to heat the bricks and light a kerosene space heater while his 75-year-old mother sits in bed in a hat and gloves.
Pfizer 4Q net jumps on sale of nutrition business
Drugmaker Pfizer Inc.'s fourth-quarter results easily beat Wall Street expectations, driving up its stock, as profit more than quadrupled, due to tighter spending and a $4.8 billion gain from selling its nutrition business.
Those boosts offset competition from generic drugs hurting sales of Lipitor and other medicines.
The world's biggest drugmaker said Tuesday that its net income was $6.32 billion, or 85 cents per share, up from $1.44 billion, or 19 cents per share, a year earlier.
Judge OKs $4 billion BP oil spill criminal settlement
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP PLC closed the book on the Justice Department's criminal probe of its role in the Deepwater Horizon disaster and Gulf oil spill on Tuesday, when a federal judge agreed to let the London-based oil giant plead guilty to manslaughter charges for the deaths of 11 rig workers and pay a record $4 billion in penalties.
What the plea deal doesn't resolve, though, is the federal government's civil claims against BP. The company could pay billions more for environmental damage from its 2010 spill.
The judge noted that the company already has racked up more than $24 billion in spill-related expenses and has estimated it will pay a total of $42 billion to fully resolve its liability for the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Microsoft retools Office for touch screen, Web use
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft is selling a retooled version of its Office software to consumers as an online subscription service for the first time in an attempt to extend one of the company's key franchises beyond personal computers.
Tuesday's release comes six months after Microsoft previewed the new-look Office, which includes popular word processing, spreadsheets and email programs.
The revamped Office boasts touchscreen controls, just like the redesigned version of the Windows operating system that Microsoft Corp. released three months ago. The company, which is based in Redmond, Wash., is trying to ensure that its products retain their appeal at a time when people increasingly rely on smartphones and tablet computers instead of PCs.
By The Associated Press(equals)
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 72.49 points to close at 13,954.42. The Standard and Poor's 500 rose 7.66 points to 1,507.84 points. The Nasdaq composite dropped less than a point to 3,153.66.
Benchmark oil for March delivery rose $1.13, or 1.2 percent, to close at $97.57 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, rose 88 cents to end at $114.36 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
Wholesale gasoline rose 4 cents to finish at $2.97 per gallon. Natural gas lost 6 cents to end at $3.23 per 1,000 cubic feet. Heating oil gained 5 cents to finish at $3.11 a gallon.

Article Notes:
Ammar R, Torti D, Tsui K, Gebbia M, Durbic T, Bader GD, Giaever G, Nislow C.
Ammar et al. point out that chromatin architecture is conserved between Archaea and Eukarya. This suggests that chromatin structure in the genomes existed long ago in the evolutionary time scale.
Impact: I'm interested in what "advantage" chromatin architecture gave organisms; how did this emerge as as a trait? Does this play a role in more complicated patterning or growth that enabled a more advanced organism structures.
Also, can chromatin be engineered by directed evolution? (at extreme levels of population?)
Favorite quote - ". . . suggesting that the fundamental role of chromatin in the regulation of gene expression is ancient."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristal from Adore! Opening the package, I was surprised to see how small it was, but it fit very well without being too tight (Hips = 34", waist 32') and didn't leave marks on my skin after wearing. It was very comfortable. My bust-waist-hip measurements are very, very close together, and I often have difficulty finding dresses and skirts that properly fit, but I had no problem with this skirt. I was very happy I bought this!

Rated 4 out of 5 by TinyMK1 from Lovely fit When I first opened this, I was a bit dismayed to realize it looked like a cheap pink tube top. Then I realized the price isn't expensive at all (not if you're going by bebe's prices), and my mind changed a great deal once I tried it on. I had ordered a much pricier bandage skirt from here that didn't fit and look as good as this one does. I love the elastic waistband too, as I have a very tiny waist and a large butt. Color is exact same as in picture, and elastic fit makes for a great fit, especially for girls with curvy bodies!

Just got off the phone w/ #Isles D Lubomir Visnovsky. Ready to come to camp and play. "This is my first choice, to play for the Islanders."
Visnovsky also said he knows he has a contract for one more year in NHL, so he could only stay in Europe if there's a lengthy NHL lockout.
Friday night at the Coliseum draft party, Islanders radio man Chris King interviewed the newly acquired Lubomir Visnovsky via phone from Europe. Visnovsky was at home in Slovakia and there's now a chance that he may stay in Slovakia to play or even head to the KHL in Russia. The slovak website hokejportal.net snagged an interview with Visnovsky after he was acquired by the Islanders yesterday. (Credit to NYIFC for finding it)
In the interview, Visnovsky says that he is weighing offers from both the KHL and from a team in his home country of Slovakia. He has not come to a decision as to where he will play in 2012-13 yet, but it appears that he is seriously considering the other offers. Here's the Google Translate version of the pertinent questions:
(Emphasis is mine)
In early May, you said that you expect in the NHL last season. Still this is true?
"Still, but I can say that I get a bid from Russia and I think about them. He and his wife have already talked about the fact that in New York can not not go and I'll take any offer from the KHL, and because I have such opportunities. We'll see where I end. KHL has signed a contract for some of the NHL and Europe is the only league where I could play in the NHL despite the contract. "
An interesting approach. Can you give a percentage, where you play next season?
"While I do not know it really well so I think in the head. NHL is certainly paramount, but we need to discuss this at home. But as I said, the KHL is a possibility. "
Certainly expect that you will be asked for your interviews with managers of the Slavs.
"We met, but I did not get an offer. Maros knew that I still have a contract in the NHL, so it probably did not address. But I think also the fact that I finished a career at Slovan, because this is my Heart. In the meantime, do not want to end a career, perhaps waiting for me last season in the NHL, but I hope and believe that it will not last season in his career. "
And when you offer, that official will come, it is possible that the longer you play next season in Slavic?
"It's possible, this option also exists. But not really in a very theoretical. I do not know if I Slovan wants. "
If we say that the season 2012/13 occurs in the Islanders, it's part of our bold claim?
"Would it be so, so you can write it. However, there are other ideas, as I would like to address. "
The Islanders would probably be disappointed, right?
"Of course. But now I have these things to pass, it's business and I'll deal with it according to what is best for me and for my coming. "
It's a bit tough to read but it's clear that Visnovsky states he has offers from the two other leagues and hasn't come to a decision yet. Many on television and on Twitter hailed the trade as a great deal for the Islanders. Could this be why the price tag on Visnovsky we so affordable?
Visnovsky said earlier in the interview that the Ducks let him go for financial reasons and he was informed by GM Bob Murray that he could be moved earlier.
You really did not know that it will be the Islanders?
"It's not at all, I just knew that some exchanges about Anaheim and I had the biggest team in average salary. It could be inferred from this that touches me some change. Age-I was one of the oldest players and salary cap simply let go. "
As for the Islanders, it seems like they would be out of luck if Visnovsky did sign up to play in another country. As far as what has been reported up to this point, the Visnovsky trade was not dependent on him coming to play in New York.

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is, especially when it comes to fast-fix weight-loss solutions. Some over-the-counter consumer products may even do more harm than good.
A recent example is the concept of colon cleansing for weight loss. Companies are touting the benefits of colon cleansing products (Colonix, Acai Power, Bromalite, ColonMed), claiming they can help people lose weight, release toxins, rejuvenate the body, relieve constipation and more.
These products are not scientifically proven to have the advertised benefits. Good colorectal health boils down to a few simple concepts:
What people need for general colorectal health is a diet high in insoluble fiber and low in fat. It will help maintain regular bowel function and help prevent benign anorectal problems, like hemorrhoids and fissures.
People should not instantly equate the term 'natural' with 'healthy.' Many of these over-the-counter colon cleansing products contain a natural laxative like senna. These natural laxatives are stimulants that cause the smooth muscle in the colon to contract, and over time these products can cause the colon to stop contracting on its own and lead to serious problems that require surgical intervention.
All adults aged 18 or older are recommended to consume at least 25 to 30 grams of fiber every day from whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Fiber has the added benefit of making you feel fuller, especially if taken before a meal, which can be beneficial for people trying to lose weight.
The vast majority of people eating a typical western diet don't get enough insoluble fiber or fluid. If you maintain a healthy food intake, the colon won't need any help to do its job of removing waste and toxins from the body. A normally functioning colon should also have bacteria in it, so removing bacteria with these 'get skinny quick' schemes is not necessary, and can actually be harmful.
Straining or sitting on the toilet for long periods of time in an effort to have a bowel movement is a bad idea as it can cause damage to the pelvic floor, leading to elimination problems later. The first thing people who suffer from constipation should do is look at their diet and make modifications. Persistent problems should be discussed with a gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon.
What goes in must come out. Many patients who complain of constipation and hard stool are consuming mostly processed food and virtually no fiber or water, so the source of the problem is obvious.

It is possible that the main title of the report Roberts Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Roberts syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by growth delays before and after birth (pre- and postnatal growth deficiency); malformations of the arms and legs (limbs); distinctive abnormalities of the skull and facial (craniofacial) region. Mental retardation occurs in some cases; normal intelligence has also been reported.
In infants with Roberts syndrome, the arms and legs may be incompletely developed (limb reduction abnormalities), however, such limb defects are usually symmetrical which are distinct from the asymmetrical limb defects in CdLS. Such abnormalities may range from absence of all four limbs (tetraphocomelia) to less severe degrees of limb reduction, such as underdevelopment and/or absence of certain bones of the upper arms (humeri), forearms (radii and/or ulnae), thighs (femurs), shins (tibiae), and/or outside of the lower legs (fibulae). Characteristic craniofacial abnormalities may include an unusually small, broad head (microbrachycephaly); abnormal grooves on either side of the upper lip (bilateral cleft lip); incomplete development of the roof of the mouth (cleft palate); thin, small wings of the nose (hypoplastic nasal alae); and/or low-set, malformed (dysplastic) ears. Additional abnormalities are often present. Robert's syndrome is probably genetically heterogeneous. While it is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait in most families, the possibility of new mutation in an autosomal dominant gene cannot be excluded.
For many years, some researchers believed that Robert's syndrome and SC phocomelia syndrome were separate disorders. However, researchers now believe that the two disorders are different expressions of one distinct disorder.
