(I'm sorry for the somewhat questionable quality of the videos. They came off of my phone but they are cute, none the less.)
I love about 14 seconds into this video when you hear Jim say oh boy... about got out of that one fast... and then I cackle.... Notice where Zack has his feet... :-)
This whole video makes me giggle. (Or laugh loudly in the background...) I love where he tells him he's doing to do the taco. Or where Zack continues to say to him over and over, choke hold get out of me, (as opposed to choke hold, got to get out of it....) or about second 40 where Jim says choke hold and Zack matter of factly states, that's not a choke hold!!
But my absolute favorite part is the ending. Where Jim says to him figure four, how ya gonna get out of a figure four and Zack promptly kicks him in the face and if you listen really closely you can hear Jim say, well I guess that's how as he holds the side of his face and lets Zack go!!
This was my night last night!! This little piece of normalcy is what I have always hoped for. I laughed and smiled and enjoyed every minute of it!!

Click here to see the stroke symptoms
The symptoms experienced by someone having a stroke depend on which part of the brain is being deprived of oxygen. Sometimes people get early warning signals that they may soon suffer a stroke when they suffer "mini-strokes" otherwise known as "transient ischemic attacks (TIA's)." People who suffer from mini-strokes have all the symptoms of stroke, but recover completely within a few hours or days. If a clot is slowly forming or a small hemorrhage has developed, early signs may give enough warning for effective medical treatment to be started. These signs should be taken seriously and qualified medical help should be immediately sought.
The most common warning signs of a stroke are:
Meridians are pathways in which the qi and blood circulate and through which the organs and limbs are connected, allowing the upper-lower and interior-exterior portions of the body to communicate.
Channels run in straight fixed courses
Collaterals run crisscross in the body
A serious stroke is usually associated with symptoms of a sudden collapse or loss of consciousness and usually involves the muscles, limbs or joints. It can be differentiated into stroke bi-syndrome and collapse syndrome.
Stroke Sequelae
After obtaining emergency treatment for a stroke, many individuals regain consciousness, resume eating and drinking, and regain control of normal urination and defecation (stooling). However, some symptoms may not return to normal and remain as stroke sequelae. Symptoms such as hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), difficulty in speech, an appearance of a crooked mouth, puffy and weak limbs, stiffness, limb contraction and spasm, or muscle wasting (atrophy) can be present long after the stroke occurs and may not be able to be reversed back to normal functioning. For these individuals, rehabilitation such as physical, speech and occupational therapy are used by western doctors to help regain some amount if not all of the lost body functions. TCM practitioners can also assist in this process by using techniques such as Chinese medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, massage, moxibustion and tai chi exercises to help strengthen the muscles, relieve lingering pain and restore the normal flow of qi throughout the body.
Differentiating a Stroke from Epilepsy and Syncope (Fainting)
When there is a loss of consciousness or the presence of a coma, it is important to differentiate whether the cause is from a stroke, syncope (fainting), or epilepsy since the treatment for each of these conditions will be different.
When a person experiences a major stroke, there are usually other accompanying symptoms such as facial distortion, the presence of a crooked mouth or paralysis down one side of the body. After the stroke has occurred and a person regains consciousness, these symptoms usually remain and may not get better over time without other medical interventions.
This condition is a temporary sudden loss of consciousness caused by a lack of blood flow to the brain. This condition usually lasts for a short amount of time, and the person may have a pale complexion and cold limbs while unconscious. Stroke symptoms such as paralysis on one side of the body and facial distortion are not present. Individuals generally return to normal functioning once consciousness is regained.
Epilepsy is a chronic disease where the brain cells do not function properly this causing seizures. Typically, an epileptic seizure is characterized by an altered state of consciousness and may involve convulsions of one part or the entire body. Other symptoms that can occur with a seizure include drooling, foaming at the mouth, making abnormal sounds and having abnormal eye movements. An epileptic seizure generally lasts only for a short period. When individuals regain their normal conscious state, the symptoms experienced during the seizure are gone. They may have a headache and feel extremely tired, but otherwise have normal functioning.

Think about the most creative and exciting time(s) in your career. Have you go it? If you are like me, the one common thread for these bursts of innovation/excitement is the people you share it with.
For the last 10 years, I have felt the ebb and flow of creativity; sporadic moments of inspiration and then times in the doldrums (ruts for lack of better words). But, like my very first class, I will always remember that first moment of collaboration. It was an awaking of something inside of me which I never experienced before. Don't get me wrong, we did "cooperative/group" projects in school. The differences between what I experienced in school and what I was part of now was epic. In school, every project was for grades, there was always a sense of competition and pressure. This was different... there was this great freedom and joy.
Brent Raabe (@braabe) was my very first teaching partner. We were both teaching Physics at Dr. Charles Best Secondary (me for the first time). Brent was the master (think his Obi Wan to my Luke Skywalker). Not only did he mentor me, but pushed me forward. We worked together to create new, innovative ways to get kids excited in Physics. There was this sense of joy in the process, that we were doing things that would make a difference in our students experiences at school (and hopefully in their lives).
Over the last 10 years, I have been so blessed to work with so many amazing teachers who want to share, grow and create as part of a team. And while it energizing to be collaborative, it HAS to start with the person in the mirror. You need to seek out people with common interests, sit a table with someone besides the people you normally sit with, take a risk, become part of a learning team.
To all those people who have let me be a part of this process with you (there are too many to name), I want to thank you for making this the greatest job on the planet! Take the leap.


text: Been wanting to send these recipies to the list for a long time. You guys got me interested in portabella mushrooms and I tried and sandwitch with them at a deli---great!---so tried to reproduce it. I did good: ------------------ Portabella Mushroom, Sun dried tomatoes Sand- witch Fry sliced mushrooms in a bit of water or the juice from reconstituted dried tomatoes until just barely cooked with lid on. Make sandwitch with mush- rooms, recostituted tomatoes, and baby spinach leaves. Pour a little of the juice from the reconstituted tomatoes on for dressing. I used Sourdough bread. ------------------- Portabella Mushrooms and Zuchinni Medley and Roasted Red Peppers. Fry mushrooms in a tiny bit of water until just cookedlid on. Remove from pan. Fry sliced Zuchinni in a tiny bit of water lid on until just cooked. Add roasted red peppers from jar with a bit of the juice and then add the mush- rooms--open pan and heat just a bit. Delicious --------------------------- Fresh Sage Roasted Potatoes Works best with Yukon Gold potatoes. Microwave until half done. Slice in large pieces for roasted potatoes. Line a cookie sheet with foil. I spray a bit of olive oil on the foil and wipe, just enough so as not to stick. Cover the pan with a layer of fresh sage leaves torn in small pieces. Sprinkle with rock salt. Place Potatoe slices on top and then Roast in 400 degree oven until browned or crisped, about 40 min. Watch it the first time so you don't burn. Hope you enjoy the recipies Catherine in Mich ------------------------------

That got your attention huh?
When I was at my biggest my underwear could have doubled for circus tents. The elephants could have sought shelter under my pants and the dancing ladies, the strong man and the lion plus tamer could have bedded down in either bra cup. I always thought that there wasn't a point in wearing nice grundies because nobody was ever going to see them. The usual fare was big greyish apple catcher knickers with loose elastic and a bra that looked more like a "my first training bra" than anything an adult woman would be seen dead in.
My lovely friend OJ would never dream of not wearing matching underwear whereas although yours truly has updated her knicker drawer I'm still a knicker slut because anything goes. Patterned knickers with a black bra, white bra with black pants, even *gasp* black bra under a white shirt. See? I don't have separate undies for work and for going out, I don't have lucky knickers or pulling pants, and I've never believed in the power of "nice bra juju" whereby donning your fanciest lacy number gives you the cojones to get through an important meeting. In fact, if you take a gander at The Bic Dick you'll see that I don't get on that well with underwear in the workplace.
But then Panache http://www.panache-lingerie.com/ got in touch and offered to send me some new pants. Not only new pants, new MATCHING pants to make me feel like a grown up in total control of herself, ready to take on the corporate world and break some balls. As a woman with a large chest I was really impressed with their range, below is just a selection of the goodies on offer. I settled on the Superbra in Andorra Lagoon set (4th picture) and was really chuffed with it, even if it didn't give me superpowers…
And no, I don't look like that in mine and yes, hell will freeze over before I pose in my knick knacks for you delightful lot. I wriggled into the set one morning when I had a pretty full on day at work, a meeting I could do with impressing in, a lot of deadlines, and a smattering of life based drama and blow me down with a feather if I didn't feel a certain spring in my step knowing that my tatas were nicely cradled in fancy lace and I had some fabric nestled up my buttcrack.
Superbra, I salute you for convincing me of the power of the underwire and for giving me a certain sense of Panache (geddit?) when I go about my day. I'm off to upgrade my knicker drawer!

WARSAW, Poland -- A parliamentary commission set the stage this week for a bitter battle over abortion in this majority-Catholic country.
By a narrow margin of 19-17, with one abstention, a parliamentary commission voted Wednesday to present in the Sejm, or lower house of Parliament, a highly restrictive bill prepared by the Catholic-dominated Senate, or upper house.
The bill would nullify Poland's relatively liberal, Communist-era abortion law, which, combined with a lack of both sexual education and contraceptives, had given Poland up to 1.5 million abortions a year, one of the highest rates in Europe.

CD Reviews
First CD of LP
Phil S. | USA | 09/02/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Fine pressing of (mostly) classic cuts. The lead tune, "Mother Popcorn", based partially on an apparently withdrawn 45rpm, "You Got To Have A Mother For Me", sounds great: uptempo funk for the long haul, slightly salacious, but seasoned with sassy Soul through and through. I would have preferred a mix featuring more of the rhythm, with JB's voice back just a taste, and perhaps some echo, a la "Papa's...Bag". Still a gem, and one which warrants revisitation not just by fans and historians but by those who said, at the time, "It's alright, but there's too much screaming...I like the early ballads and 'Night Train'". They need to dig the subtle key changes and how Maceo knows just how much to blow, and when.
"Mashed Potatoes Popcorn" sounds to me like it is an overdub of "Merry Christmas, I Love You", actually a blues/jazz pattern. On "Part 2", we are suprised by the shift from the C-F-G form to holding one chord.
"The Little Old Groove Maker, Me" [possibly titled in tribute to Dean Martin's "The Little Ole Wine Drinker, Me"] is a happy, uptempo, live call-and-response from the Apolo Theatre, but if you own "Live, Volume 2", you already have it, albeit sans echo, which really enhances the sound. It certainly appears that another live "There Was A Time"-related number was fairly fresh in the vaults [in '98 it was released in "Say It Loud And Live [Live In Dallas] 0826-68])". That would have worked, but even better, using the full-blown "Funky Drummer", which contains the album title.
"You're Still Out Of Sight" is a variant of "Out Of Sight", recorded probably in 1967 at the "I Can't Stand Myself..." session. Both tracks were mastered at the wrong (low) pitch. It's been suggested that a live version is out there waiting for it's call to the DVD presses.
The CD closes with a great instrumental "Top Of THe Stack", no technological glitches here - just plain funk, with Maceo and Melvin, Catfish, Country, and Al. Great closer, but I would have liked to have "Mother Popcorn, Part Two" as the finale - as it was, for the ages, on "Sex Machine" (or the album which should have been "James Brown, Live At Home")."

Posted 12/11/13 (Wed)
Janice Johnson, 69, of Gresham, Ore., formerly of Watford City, N.D., died Wednesday evening Dec. 4, 2013, at her Gresham residence.
Funeral services were held Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013, at the Chapel of First Lutheran Church. Pastor Ben Lovan officiated. Interment followed at Hillside Memory Gardens in Williston.
Janice Fay was born the middle of five children to Henry and Elva (Anklam) Torstenson on July 17, 1944, in Williston, N.D. She was raised on a farm in Farland Township, McKenzie County and educated in the Watford City School System. She was raised in, baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran Faith at First Lutheran Church in Watford City. She graduated from Watford City High School in 1963 and shortly after went out to Vancouver, Wash., to attend beautician's school. Janice met Arnold (Arnie) Johnson in Williston and they married in Vancouver, Wash., on Oct. 17, 1964. She put her education on hold and devoted herself to her family of three children, Lynn, Christi and Craig. The couple returned to Williston for a brief time and then returned to the west coast and settled in Gresham, Ore., for these many years. She and her husband owned and operated the Arnold E. Johnson Painting Company, a business dealing primarily in new home construction painting contracts. After Arnie became ill, they changed the name of the company to her name and continued the dedicated services of professional painting in the Gresham area.
Arnie died on Feb. 16, 2012. Janice was known for her warm and loving smile and her genuine caring character. She was well loved by family and friends, was very forgiving and generous with everyone. She enjoyed crafts, gardening, raising both flowers and vegetables and reading, especially mysteries. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Janice is survived by her son, Lynn Johnson, of Portland, Ore.; daughter, Christi Johnson, of Gresham, Ore.; one grandson, Deric Johnson, of Portland, Ore.; three sisters, Lois Holton, of Everett, Wash., Myrna Tiley and Kathie (Arvin) Danielson, both of Naples, Fla.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, Arnold, son, Craig, and brother, Jerome Torstenson.

This will either please you or make you extremely upset that you'd enjoy smashing up an iDevice without a second thought, but Microsoft has released an Xbox Live app for iOS (available for free). The app will allow users to keep track of their Xbox Live account and check out what their friends are up to. To be honest, it's a smart move. It shows Microsoft is not attempting to create a monopoly with Windows, but allow other platforms to have some kind of connectivity with the software giant's product line and services. Sure, Apple fans will now have an app that will allow them to perform tasks that we can accomplish on our Windows Phones, but can they play Xbox Live titles? No. Do they have integration with the OS? No. Do they have as many features as we do altogether? Certainly not.
Features include:
- Read and send messages to friends
- Manage your friends list, invite new friends
- Read and Edit your full LIVE profile (name, bio, motto)
- Change your avatar features/items with the avatar closet
- View and compare your achievement progress with friends
Should iOS users want the full experience, they can come to Windows Phone, but should they be avid Xbox gamers, then there's no harm in Microsoft allowing them to use the service while on the go (but with limits of course). An interesting feature is beacons, which will alert friends that you wish them to join you on an activity. Don't forget that we have the Xbox Companion app in our arsenal too. Even on my iPad 2, Metro UI looks sweet. You can download the free app from the App Store.

WASHINGTON -- April C. Glaspie, the U.S. ambassador who met with Saddam Hussein eight days before Iraq invaded Kuwait, broke an eight-month silence yesterday, saying that the Iraqi president assured her he would not attack Kuwait after she sternly warned him that the United States "would defend our vital interests, we would support the right of self-defense of our friends in the [Persian] Gulf."
Her account before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee contradicted a purported transcript of the meeting released by the Iraqi government in September quoting Ms. Glaspie as telling Mr. Hussein that the United States had "no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait."
Yesterday, Ms. Glaspie characterized the "so-called transcript" as "disinformation . . . edited to the point of inaccuracy." She said it was Mr. Hussein, not she, who backed down at the meeting.

These things are much more common every day... hope it wasn't as bad as it sounds.
What data do you have to support this?
yes they seem to be increasing ...
OK, if so, let's consider the reasons.
Less weight on the mantle at the Poles, due to the ice melt?
Higher water near shorelines, causing the water table to go lower than previously, "lubricating" fracture joints?
Anyone else have any outlandish theories?
A Mayan sixth sense
Not geologically sound, but it might sell in Haiti.
It's the End Times, obviously.
It's clearly the Peruvian gays.
I just hope I get a chance to try the iPhone 5 before the end of times.
Plates shift. It happens. Its unfortunate but it happens. The earth will always see periods of increased and decreased activity.
Peru is definitely no stranger to earthquakes.
Chile still the overall winner for earthquake activity. They make other places like California seem tame by comparison.

"I feel like I'm living through a hurricane," was the message left on my answering machine. It was not a call from someone in the Gulf states. When Katrina tore through New Orleans, when the pre-Rita exodus snarled Texas highways out of town, I heard from many people whose lives had been overwhelmed by a devastating event. An honor student was killed by a drunk driver, a marriage of seventeen years was washed up, a mother learned her son was dealing drugs at school. When large-scale tragedies occur, we all partake, not only with our sympathy and shared grief, but the same energy rippling through the event, ripples through us all. Like we're all on one great table and a giant hand yanks the tablecloth out from under our collective feet. Some of us will land. Some of us will wobble. Some of us will shatter. But we'll all feel it.
Although planets don't cause disasters, they do picture what we're going through. Uranus, planet of sudden and shocking events, is currently in Pisces, the sign of storms, sea, gas and oil. Astrologers have predicted this period-from 2003 to 2011-will bring accelerated natural disasters and crises in oil and natural gas, which is good reason to keep emergency kits well stocked, and investigate alternative energy sources. But it still begs the question, why now? Uranus will be in Pisces for another six years. Why do we feel so wobbly at this moment? That's what New Moon charts are for, carrying the sky-written message of what's important now. Three factors distinguish this month's chart. There's a solar eclipse. Mars has just gone retrograde. And four planets are aligned in a "Finger of God" aspect. For those who know little astrology, these terms might sound like I'm speaking Chinese. But without making the astrology too complex, let's try to decode their message.
Eclipses often bring dramatic or sudden turns of events; their impact can be felt weeks in advance. They can bring hidden problems to the surface, open or shut doors, accelerate change. Generally they suggest turbulent times that require we grow. But eclipses happen regularly, twice a year, in fact; and some years they're not so turbulent. To understand the different character of eclipses, astrologers have grouped them into families. This month's solar eclipse comes from a family with a strong Mars/Pluto gene. That means it's particularly potent. Says eclipse expert Bernadette Brady, this eclipse holds an "immense power, anger and force" that can suddenly clear huge obstacles or manifest as a rapidly moving crisis. An example of the first is the under-reported story of an American hostage held blindfolded and bound in a tiny underground cell in Iraq for ten months. The door to his cell was sealed with concrete. Yet incredibly, he was found, the cement door was cut through, and he was rescued. An example of a rapidly moving crisis is, of course, a hurricane. We got two in rapid succession. Whether positive or negative, with this eclipse, says Brady, "everything is moving at great speed."*
Mars represents our warrior nature.

The Association for
|an organisation dedicated to the use of computers in historical research
For members of the AHC
International Association for History and Computing
Version 2000 / 1a
What is the purpose of this document?
This document sets out the key administrative procedures between the international Association for History and Computing (Association) and its members. In particular it describes the new arrangements that have been established following the revision of the Associations Constitution that was passed at the 1999 AGM held in London. As such it replaces all previous administrative guidelines issued by the Association. The document seeks to clarify many of the more detailed points of the new Constitution, and at the same time provides further information on where and with whom responsibilities lie within the AHC organisation.
Who is this document aimed at?
This document is intended for all individuals who are, or want to become a member of the Association.
How do I become a member of the Association?
There are two basic types of Associations membership, the so-called direct members, and indirect members. Most members of the Association are direct members. They join the Association by contacting the Membership Secretary (see address below) providing their details including name, address and e-mail address, and by providing the designated annual membership fee, paid either by cheque in dollars or pounds (sterling), or by direct payment into an Associations bank account.
Indirect members are people who join the Association via an affiliated organisation, providing the affiliated organisation with their personal details (name, address and e-mail) and making the payment of the Associations annual membership fee to the affiliated organisation. The affiliated organisation is then responsible for passing on this information and the appropriate membership fee to the Associations Membership Secretary and Treasurer. Not all affiliated organisations may provide this facility, however.
How do I pay my membership fees?
Once you have successfully joined the Association as a direct member, you will be sent a renewal notice every year, which you must send back to the Association, together with the designated annual membership fee, paid either by cheque in dollars or pounds (sterling), or by direct payment into an Associations bank account. Indirect members have to follow the instructions from their affiliated organisation.
What do I get for my money?
With your membership fee, the Association tries to encourage and maintain interest in the application of Information Technology and Information Communication Technology in all branches of historical study. It does so - among other things - by publishing a journal, an electronic journal, a website and an email discussion list, and by helping affiliated organisations to set up (international) working groups, meetings and conferences. The subscription fee for the journal History & Computing is included in the Associations membership fee. In some cases, discounted conference fees will be available for members of the Association.
What is the organisational structure of the Association?
The Association has two main legislative bodies: the Board and the Council. The Board consists of the elected officers of the Association, namely the President, the Secretary-General, the Membership Secretary, the Treasurer, the Editor of the Associations journal, the Editor of the Associations electronic Journal, the Editor of the Associations e-mail list, the Manager of the Associations WebPages, plus any members that the Board decides to co-opt for special tasks. The Council is composed of the Board, plus nominated representatives of the Associations affiliated organisations.
The Associations Board is responsible for the management and control of all of the administrative functions and business affairs of the Association. In particular, it is responsible for implementing the Associations policies and activities in relation to its stated aims and objectives. It is responsible for the appointment of the Editor of the Associations journal and the Editor of the Associations electronic journal. It also determines the time and place of the conference of the Association and the time and place of the Annual General Meeting. The Board is also charged with maintaining liaison with other professional bodies in associated fields and also elects representatives to appropriate councils or meetings.
The Council is in effect an advisory body for the Board, and advises on all aspects of the Associations activities, including its relations with external organisations. The Council also explicitly recommends and decides on the admission of organisations wishing to become affiliated with the Association. The Council is also required to meet at least once a year.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is open to all those who are current members of the Association, in other words, all those whose annual subscription has been paid in full and accepted. A total of fifteen members is required to form a quorum. If the quorum is not reached, the Secretary-General will arrange for a new AGM to be held within two months. For this second meeting, a quorum of only five members is necessary.
One of the principal requirements of the AGM is to appoint members to the Board of the Association and to decide the level of the forthcoming years subscription rates for membership of the Association. The AGM is also the only body that can approve changes to the Associations Constitution.
Who do I contact when things go wrong?
If in the process of joining or renewing your membership, paying membership fees and receiving information and journals from the Association, things happen to go wrong sometimes then, if you are a direct member, always get in touch with the Associations Membership Secretary first (address below). If things keep going wrong, contact the Secretary-General. If you are an indirect member, please contact your affiliated organisation first.
How do I sign off as a member?
As a direct member, you can sign off by sending a written statement (with signature) to the Membership Secretary (address below) before November, 15 of the current year. Your membership will then end by the January 1 in the following year. If you are an indirect member, follow the instructions from your affiliated organisations membership secretary.
What is the Associations e-mail discussion list?
The Associations e-mail discussion list H-AHC is one part of the information
distribution means of the Association, serving at the same time as a venue
for discussion of issues related to historical computing for a wide audience
of scholars in the humanities and social sciences. The list is open to
everybody who wants to join it. There are no restrictions or any particular
requirements to the subscribers. However, the list is edited in order to
avoid unsolicited advertising and mail getting onto the list, and to keep
the discussions on the subject that the list has been designed for. The
list has two editors, an editorial board and also a review board. Further
information about the list and also for the archive of the messages, please
visit the H-AHC Web site at http://www.h-net.msu.edu/~ahc/
Help and guidelines for subscribing to the list can be found at: http://www.h-net.msu.edu/lists/help/
Current editor of the H-AHC can be contacted at email@example.com

Do You Have What It Takes ?
To Live A Happy Life
We are not talking for just a couple of years
For starters how about 30 years
To stay happy after all this time
It is no easy task
What will the neighbors think ?
What do we know so far and what keeps us on the straight and narrow ?
Our mind is made up
We will do all we can to bring out the best in every moment
Not leaving anything up to chance
We press on against all odds
Taking the time to show other people what they can do
We each can accomplish our goals if given some time
Bringing the world together
Under one huge umbrella
Where the strong lead the way
Time after time we show prime examples
Of what to do and not do
The bottom line is...
Make it a sunny day
Even if it rains all afternoon and tomorrow too
You came so close " our mind is made up." Happy life is a content life. Some changes are alternating what we need instead what " I want." There is a sunshine above the clouds, that's what matters. If anyone thinks differently- as usually I say it is only a one person opinion…Trying to avoid random conversations, ( some wisdom comes by experiencing many birthdays.)
Pretty much I'm content with my life. I can't change anything at the moment so I make the best out of it. I find things to smile about and to like each and every day. Just looked over to a box against the wall where our cat Sid is sleeping and I had to smile.

'Fast Fashion' refers to clothing and accessories that are designed to reflect current industry trends, yet produced using less expensive materials to ensure a low price tag. For the last two decades, clothing retailers like H&M, Zara, and Forever 21 have popularized Fast Fashion among everyday consumers. They are a goddesss send to those of us on a budget or who choose non-animal fiber looks. However, not everyone is a huge fan of the trend.
Many designers, for instance, have complained that Fast Fashion has reduced conceptual originality within the clothing industry in order to produce a higher volume of garments and accessories. Zara, for example, churns out 10,000 new items every year; most boutique designers, by comparison, release between 50 and 100 pieces.
The Fast Fashion trend has also led to environmental concerns. Every year, the clothing industry produces 2 million tons of waste, emits 2.1 million tons of carbon dioxide, and uses 70 million tons of water; these figures have significantly risen in the years since Fast Fashion became a retailing standard. To make matters worse, the quality of these garments is typically so low that most are discarded or donated to charity by the wearer within two years of the original purchase.
Roughly 300 retailers have signed on to the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP), a collective that aims to reduce wastefulness in the fashion industry. SCAP seeks to produce and sell clothing without producing undesirable environmental effects; another goal of the group is to exclusively limit international business deals and projects to countries that have established strict labor regulations.
Some fashion moguls embrace the trend, such as Proenza Schouler who became well-known after developing an inexpensive line for Target. But not everyone is so keen. Here are some of the ways "fast fashion" is impacting the marketplace.
Excess: Not all designers are anti-fast fashion, but many agree it's led to a lack of authenticity in new clothing lines and a lack of quality in production. Even CEO of fast-fashion Topshop, Sir Phillip Green, says designers and consumers should stop the rapid production and "pause for a breath now and then so fashion has a chance to become more timeless and less in one month and out the other."
The Environment: The fashion industry produces 2 million tons of waste each year, 2.1 million tons of CO2, and 70 million tons of water. Fast fashion and the rapid clothing consumption caused these ballooning waste amounts and most fashion purchases – 2 million tons annually-wind up in the trash within a year or two because they are too low quality to last any longer.
A Changing Trend: After two decades of fast-fashion popularity, many designers are signing on to make a change. Three hundred retailers have signed up to be a part of the sustainable clothing action plan which includes producing, selling, and disposing of waste without damaging the environment and only working with countries with strict labor fairness regulations.

Dean McDermott addresses divorce rumors: We're more in love than everBy Chris Gardner
If you believe a certain tabloid, Tori Spelling and her husband of nearly seven years, Dean McDermott, have been on the verge of divorce for awhile now. But if you believe Tori and Dean, their marriage has never been better, even if it's admittedly a bit hectic in the McDermott household with four young children: Liam, 6, Stella, 4, Hattie, 18 months, and son Finn, 6 months.Wonderwall got a chance to catch up with a multitasking Dean (while in bed taking care of a strep throat-stricken Liam) to chat about his new gig as a jury panelist for The Munchies: People's Choice Food Awards (voting continues now through April 30 here). But we did manage to cover a slew of other subjects including what it's really like inside their home, the couple's favorite escape and how he and Tori weathered the most recent headlines.Tell me about The Munchies. How did you get involved?"I am one of the panelists (responsible) for nominating restaurants, chefs, things like that, anything food-wise; products, restaurants, trends. I vote along with a bunch of Munchies board members and we pick the best of the best. It's great."Keep clicking for more of our interview with Dean ...© John Shearer/AP

Valentine's Day Best Gifts for Men 2014
Valentine's Day Gifts for the Man in Your Life
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you have no idea what on earth to buy the man in your life. Does he like Aftershave? Maybe a new Tie? It really all depends on how long you have been together. If you have been married for years, you tend to know the type of thing that he likes and wants.
Also, after being married for such a long time, maybe he would prefer something more practical. But of course if you are new to the throws of love and passion, you don't want to make a big mistake by getting him the wrong thing. Staying on safe ground is probably the best option. A bottle of Champagne, chocolates or just yourself wrapped in red ribbon and little else! There's a thought! But seriously, what do you think he would like. I believe that there are so many different objects that a modern man would like. It doesn't have to be particularly romantic. It could just be the Ah factor that will please him. I have given you a selection that I hope you will like. Trying to be more open to suggestions, I have added a few things that might surprise you. I hope you like them.

Mens Moisturiser
Moisturiser for Men
In this day and age men not only want to smell nice, but they want to look nice too. It is no longer just a woman's prerogative to clean her skin, and moisturise it afterwards. A few years ago a man would have been much to embarrassed to admit to cleaning and toning! Now they have realised that to maintain a wrinkle free skin, they must do what women have done for generations. Slap on the moisturiser! There are so many makes out there these days, the best way to buy a good moisturiser is trial and error. I remember when men were forced to only use one aftershave that not only stung them but could also bring them up in rashes! Thank goodness those times have passed. Now you can buy your boyfriend or husband something that they will really appreciate. A good Moisturiser.

There are so many ideas for you to think about this Valentine's day. Whether your man prefers something sensual to make it a memorable and pleasurable experience, or would he prefer something that he could keep forever? A nice piece of Jewelry or a tie.

Eytheril was my final project for Stanford's CS248 Interactive Computer Graphics course. I worked with fellow CCRMA student Hongchan Choi to create this abstract and otherworldly experience. The gameplay is very simple: you are a moving ball of light attempting to collect more energy without hitting the cavern walls. You control your computer remotely through a mobile device and use it's gyrometer and few on screen controls to fly.
While the design was important to us, we spent most of our time just getting the technical components up and running. This intensive course gave very little time for the final project and did not allow the use any existing game engines. We had to code the 3D renderer, lighting, shader effects, particle systems, physical simulations, and the generative sound design from scratch. Our project was a finalist in the class-wide competition.

In the meantime long time friend Neil Fulwood has graciously agreed to fill in with a guest post. When I originally conceived the idea of doing some guest posts I figured on a few quick articles from fellow horror fans wanting to share the love. Imagine my surprise and delight when I ended up with this. It is as they say, a doozy and a pretty well written insightful doozy at that. Make sure you check out Neil's other work at The Agitation Of The Mind. There is plenty more where this came from.
In April, as the last of the snows melted in the larch forests like strips of soiled bandage, we came to Belsen and the first concentration camp: a hideous 'liberation' this time which erased forever the erroneous idea we had had that 'Jerry is really just the same as us'. No way was he. – Dirk Bogarde, 'Backcloth', p. 113.
When Powell and Pressburger made their great propagandist works of art (the two can sometimes be synonymous) – works like 'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp', 'A Canterbury Tale' or 'A Matter of Life and Death' – the true horror of the death camps was unknown to the public; unknown to the majority of those on active service in the theatre of conflict. It is doubtful those films, with their wistful and nostalgic (almost playful) romanticism, could have been made if the extent of Hitler's so-called "final solution" had been common knowledge. Propaganda is zeitgeist: it latches on to whatever reinforces its message. Powell and Pressburger's six-year string of masterpieces held the tenets of Englishness aloft as a runner would an Olympic flame – but tempered enough by Emeric Pressburger's European background to avoid being twee.
And the films that came after the war, when the world – jubilant for those few moments in the defeat of fascism – suddenly found itself confronted with the aftermath of six million Jews, gays, gypsies, blacks and other members of the collective non-Aryan dispossessed systematically put to death; these films are fuelled by that knowledge. Even the "boy's own" spectaculars of the 1960s, the likes of 'The Guns of Navarone' and 'Where Eagles Dare' with their vicarious set-pieces wherein storm-troopers, Gestapo torturers and black-coated SS officers are mown down in waves. A need for catharsis borne of the great bloodstain of the twentieth century is the lubricant that drives their ballistically efficient narratives.
Every generation has its shattering moment. For my grandparents: the Second World War. For my parents, the Kennedy assassination. For my generation, 11th September 2001. For those born before or at the various points inbetween, substitute the Great War, Vietnam, or the strike action in Britain in the 1980s where a government effectively turned its police force and army on its own people in order to destroy the power of the unions. For the generation half my age or younger, too young when 9/11 happened to fully understand the implications and politics of it: the Breivik massacre in Norway.
Art responds. Cinema, arguably the most culturally expedient and intellectually accessible of all the art forms, responds most emotively. Perhaps most bluntly. If the Kennedy assassination and the subsequent bastardization of American politics under the Nixon administration resulted in a slew of deeply political dramas – from the satirical 'President's Analyst' (Flicker, 1967) to the bitterly cynical 'Parallax View' (Pakula, 1974) and 'Three Days of the Condor' (Pollack, 1975) – it can be argued that, excepting two worthy responses in the form of Paul Greengrass's 'United 93' and Oliver Stone's 'World Trade Centre' (both 2006), 9/11 found its filmic response in a resurgence of the horror genre. Specifically, an approach to the genre that deliberately keyed itself in to the pared-down aesthetic of the classic 1970s horror movie, as if America were reaching back to the post-Altamont atmosphere of social deconstruction, the death of the hippie ideal sounding an all-too-real echo across the dust and rubble of Ground Zero.
Formed in November 2001, Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company has so far remade five key horror movies of the 70s and 80s: 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (Nispel, 2003), 'The Amityville Horror' (Douglas, 2005), 'The Hitcher' (Meyers, 2007), 'Friday the 13th' (Nispel, 2009) and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (Bayer, 2010).
Additionally,'Dawn of the Dead' (Snyder, 2004), 'The Fog' (Wainwright, 2005), 'House of Wax' (Collet-Serra, 2005), 'The Omen' (Moore, 2006), 'The Wicker Man' (LaBute, 2006), 'The Hills Have Eyes' (Aja, 2006), 'Halloween' and 'Halloween II' (Zombie, 2007 and 2009 respectively), 'Prom Night' (McCormick, 2008), 'Last House on the Left' (Iliadis, 2009), 'My Bloody Valentine' (Lussier, 2009), 'Piranha' (Aja, 2010) and 'I Spit on Your Grave' (Monroe, 2010) have continued the trend.
Original fare like 'Cabin Fever' (Roth, 2003), 'Wrong Turn' (Schmidt, 2003) and its sequels, 'The Devil's Rejects' (Zombie, 2005), 'Hostel' and 'Hostel Part II' (Roth, 2005 and 2007 respectively), 'Turistas' a.k.a. 'Paradise Lost' (Stockwell, 2006), '30 Days of Night' (Slade, 2007), 'The Mist' (Darabont, 2007), 'P2' (Khalfoun, 2007), 'Vacancy' (Antal, 2007), 'The Strangers' (Bertino, 2007), 'The House of the Devil' (West, 2009), 'Paranormal Activity' (Peli, 2007; main release 2009) and the 'Saw' franchise (various, 2004 – 2009) have parallels with the slew of remakes and certainly maintain a thematic (albeit more visceral) aesthetic with the horror movies of the 70s. In particular, Ti West's 'House of the Devil' was an exercise in capturing the visual style and narrative pacing of that decade. The post 9/11 horror boom also saw the return to the genre of two of its erstwhile influential practitioners: George Romero continuing his zombie sequence with 'Land of the Dead' and 'Diary of the Dead' (2005 and 2007 respectively), and Sam Raimi with 'Drag Me to Hell' (2009).
'Land of the Dead' is the first (arguably, thus far, the only) American horror film to present an explicit response to 9/11. Throughout the first three films in the sequence, small bastions of humanity holed up in - respectively - rural/agricultural, materialist/consumerist and military/scientific environments, and were defeated, from within and without, in each case. In 'Land of the Dead', the besieged group of survivors become a microcosm of America itself. The setting is a Manhattan-like island, at the centre of which is a luxuriously appointed tower block overseen by Kaufman (Dennis Hopper). Those allowed into this self-contained paradise are those with money. Those without are forced to scratch out a living for themselves in the ghetto at the foot of the tower. As with the previous films, the survivors bring about their own downfall while the zombies gather outside. Only this time, the stakes are higher in both cases. When Cholo (John Leguizamo), a member of Kaufman's militia, absconds with Dead Reckoning (the heavily-armoured strike vehicle that defends/polices the island) and threatens to launch on Kaufman's tower block if his fiscal demands are not met, Kaufman doesn't even have to respond with "We don't negotiate with terrorists" in order to make the subject matter clear.
'Drag Me to Hell', made four years later, is equally attuned to the America it was released into, only here the focus is socio-economic instead of socio-political. A young professional, Christine (Alison Lohman), is trying to get ahead at the bank she works for. Her chances for promotion in the balance because her boss doesn't believe she can make "the hard decisions", Christine callously rejects an old woman's pleas for a loan extension, effectively foreclosing on her property, and is terrorized by supernatural means when the woman puts a curse on her. While 'Drag Me to Hell' is more a funhouse scare-fest than Romero's grim and cynical statement on American society rotting from the inside, it certainly captured the zeitgeist of what the British press called the "credit crunch".
Many of the other films considered here are concerned with foreignness and home soil and the threat of the former that hangs over the latter. Eli Roth's 'Hostel' and 'Hostel Part II' are set in Slovakia and both films, in their most effective moments, exploit the cultural differences between the almost gothically rural setting and the attitudes of the youthful American protagonists, a group of testosterone-addled lads in the first film, a more thoughtful quartet of young women in the second. Both are slow-burn in their plotting and take their time getting to the "torture porn" set-pieces; plentiful instances show the characters as lost, either literally (unsure of their geographical location) or culturally (non-comprehension of the language, customs, etc of the indigenous populace). And yet, finally, it is other Americans who are behind the horrors that befall them. Although sometimes crass in their execution, the 'Hostel' films pull off the double-whammy of commenting on the post-9/11 American mistrust of foreignness and the tendency (politically) to US incursion overseas – sometimes to the detriment of the country in question.
'Turistas' also takes place overseas, in Brazil. The travelers are a mixture of American, English and Australian backpackers (i.e. a decent cross-section of English speaking peoples), whose trip of a lifetime turns ugly from the outset: a bus accident, spiked drinks and loss of clothes, money and passports conspire to deliver them into the hands of Zamora (Miguel Lunardi), a doctor enraged by the harvesting of organs from poor Brazilian peasants for the benefit of "rich gringos" and determined that it is time to "give back" to the poor. The non-specificity of the protagonists' nationality as a group (beyond the fact that they are westerners) is telling. 'Turistas' deals in the universal horror of being the "wrong man": a group of travelers, assumed to be affluent purely because of their peregrinations, are punished for the sins of the genuinely (and amorally) rich.
The idea of foreignness remains prevalent in those films actually set on home soil. In this respect, a very clear link to the aesthetic of 1970s American horror exists. From the influential and controversial successes of John Boorman's 'Deliverance' (1972), Tobe Hooper's 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre' (1974) and Wes Craven's 'The Hills Have Eyes' (1977) to the B-movie Satanism of Bernard McEveety's 'The Brotherhood of Satan' (1971), Jack Starrett's 'Race with the Devil' (1975) and Robert Fuest's 'The Devil's Rain' (1975), it was a decade defined by backwoods horror. Pace 'Turistas', these films deal with the fear of the (ostensibly civilized) city-dweller, the professional, suddenly at a loss and unable to transact rationally with isolated individuals or small communities, either morally corrupted (the devil worshippers of 'Race with the Devil' etc), inbred/backward (the leering rapists of Meir Zarchi's 1978 controversy-fest 'I Spit on Your Grave') or reverted to cannibalistic savagery (Leatherface and his lunatic family in 'The Texas Chain Saw Massacre'; the hill-dwellers in 'The Hills Have Eyes').
The commonality is isolationism. 'Cabin Fever', 'Wrong Turn', 'House of Wax', 'Vacancy' – all take place in off-the-beaten-track locations, miles from anywhere. Mobile phone coverage is non-existent; the normal signs of civilization are few and far between. Even such staples of Americana as the diner, the gas station, the roadhouse and the sheriff's office are places of danger. The locals are insular. Surly glances meet the newcomer. Your vehicle is liable to be vandalized, your property stolen, your fancy-ass city ways mocked. As things escalate, your pets are likely to meet a bloody end. That big guy in the pick-up truck is looking at your wife and daughter in the wrong way. Don't even count your own life as inviolate.
The backwood horror, or hillbilly horror, of the 70s gets a technological upgrade post-9/11. Take the motel clerk in 'Vacancy' whose office, lined with monitors and recording equipment, is a cottage industry for the production of snuff movies – said movies being filmed in the very rooms he rents out. Or the hillbilly archetype in 'P2' who seems to have transgressed the geographical barriers: he's got a blue-collar job in the city, an underground car park attendant number; he's also looking at a woman in the wrong way. A businesswoman in a purty white dress, stranded after the office Christmas party. The locale might be the concrete jungle instead of the bayou, but our boy's the hick nightmare incarnate that you'd normally have to take a wrong turn in the deep south to bump into. But he's right here, a few floors under the very office you work in, and he's putting the security cameras to improper use.
Mostly, though, these films exploit remote settings, the victims du jour out of their depth and off the map. Being lost is one of the primal fears of childhood. In '30 Days of Night', vampires descend on a snowbound Alaskan town. Weather, darkness and the supernatural conspire to fray the small band of townspeople to breaking point. A month of total darkness and the absolute finality of being unable to leave would shred most people's nerves; bringing the undead into it just seems sadistic. Isolation is a form of imprisonment. The fear of being lost is inverted, and two of the primal fears of adulthood come into play: the loss of liberty and the invasion of one's home.
In 'Vacancy', a couple's hotel room is bugged, besieged and finally invaded. The safety of the traveller or holidaymaker's one-night stop-over is denied. Recreation, pranks and maybe a little sexual activity at camp? 'Friday the 13th' sinks an axe into that one. A holiday home out in the wilds, just the place to make a short break of it after attending your friends' wedding, or to get some piece and quiet while you finish that novel? Not according to 'The Strangers' or 'I Spit on Your Grave'. The horror film, not matter how outlandish its antagonists or how over-the-top its blood-letting, always hardwires itself into a deep-seated and all-too-human fear. Even your bed, that place of sanctuary where you can pull the covers over your head and be safe in the comfort of sleep … even that's not safe. 'Paranormal Activity' plays on images of its protagonists at their most vulnerable: asleep. In 'A Nightmare on Elm Street', sleep allows Freddy Krueger access into his victims' minds; into their rooms; into their now very brief lives.
As the trauma of 9/11 gradually gave way to the moral and political implications of the war in Afghanistan, protest and censure greeting the images of prisoners mistreated at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, the imagery of the "torture porn" subgenre suddenly found itself with a socio-political undercurrent. This, married with the loss of liberty theme consistent throughout the "torture porn" cycle, gives these films a gut-wrenching immediacy beyond the obvious gruesome iconography and unorthodox use of DIY equipment and surgical utensils. The 'Saw' franchise perhaps represents American cinema's fullest distillation of the theme, particularly in the use of lethiferous gizmos designed to kill their victim in the most ironic manner possible; Jigsaw, the films' terminally ill antagonist, is intent on punishing those he sees as squandering the life he himself can no longer take for granted. The traps are designed to be beaten, but at a price to the victim; thus Jigsaw tests how far they are willing to go in order to survive/gain a new lease of life. Setting aside the questionable morality of the basic precept and the saga's increasingly cruel and cynical arc, all the "torture porn" tropes are present: the victims' loss of liberty, the seemingly arbitrary actions of their captor, the anti-aesthetic of ruined buildings (abandoned warehouses: the de rigueur real estate choice of the budding sociopath), the industrial and rusted appearance of Jigsaw's fiendish mechanisms. In the evolution of horror anti-heroes, Jigsaw isn't too far removed from Leatherface and his ilk – he just paid more attention during metalwork class. And let's face it, the grimy anonymity of a disused factory may as well be the backwoods or the scorched hills or the snowed-in far north when you're chained up, fitted out with a trap that's timed to kill you in an hour and there's no help from any quarter and no-one hears your screams. Factor in the assumption that Jigsaw must have staged an act of home invasion to kidnap his victims in the first place, and all the boxes are ticked; all the fears exploited.
Of course, the themes and fears discussed in this article aren't restricted to American cinema. Europe has given us 'Calvaire', 'Vinyan', 'Martyrs', 'Switchblade Romance', 'Them' and a host of others – each of them an endurance test of a movie. It's worth noting that some of the films considered here, while American productions, had foreign directors at the helm: Alexandre Aja ('The Hills Have Eyes', 'Piranha'), Franck Khalfoun ('P2'), and the US-born but of Hungarian background Nimrod Antal ('Vacancy'). In the UK, hoodie horror is fast becoming the British equivalent of backwoods horror with the likes of 'Eden Lake', 'Cherry Tree Lane' and 'F'.
In the 70s – a decade that this overview of post-9/11 horror keeps coming back to – two major American filmmakers made arguably the most controversial films of their careers in England. Both films were released in 1971; both, for different reasons, suffered long-time bans on home video in the UK; both have become bywords for movie violence. Neither, ironically, has ever been regarded as a horror movie. These films are, of course, Stanley Kubrick's 'A Clockwork Orange' and Sam Peckinpah's 'Straw Dogs'. 'A Clockwork Orange' has escaped the questionable snares of the remake. 'Straw Dogs', however, has just been reimagined or rebooted or whatever the current buzzword is by Rod Lurie. Peckinpah's film, an adaptation of Gordon Williams' pulp thriller 'The Siege of Trencher's Farm', was about the culture clash between an intellectual but ostensibly weak American academic and the less-than-cerebral but brawny yokels who resent him for his nationality, his bookish ways and his temerity in marrying a village girl. Lurie's remake scraps the issue of nationality and relocates the action to the deep south, a setting more redolent of 'Deliverance' or 'I Spit on Your Grave'.
Whether Lurie captures any of the psychological complexities of Peckinpah's original remains to be seen, although robbing the material of its British antagonists (members of an island race who have often proved themselves throughout history as thuggish, tribal, inherently racist and resentful of class differences) seems as dubious a move as LaBute's 'Wicker Man' remake jettisoning the Christianity/paganism dynamic. Or maybe Lurie will ride the tail-end of the zeitgeist, bringing things back, bluntly and brutally, to American soil.

And, it's November – how did that happen so fast?
What a heart-wrenching way to end October with Frankenstorm Sandy. For someone like me who grew up in Pennsylvania and has lived in either Philadelphia, New York City or New Jersey for most of her life, this was beyond devastating. Being so far away, watching the non-stop coverage, wondering how, if at all, the destruction, chaos and danger would impact so many of the people and places in the world that I love the most. Difficult would be an understatement.
Getting messages one by one by email, text and phone was desperate relief.
This person is OK? OK, good, what about your mom? Sister? The shore house? Do they just have water damage? Is there really a tree in the roof? Both cars are destroyed!? There are downed electrical wires? You still don't have any power? Do you have diapers and baby supplies? Can you get to the store? Are all pets accounted for? On and on and on…
It was both a blessing and curse to be so far away for this, obviously out of harms way but too far away to offer comfort, a welcoming kitchen chair for a warm plate of food or a long hug and glass of wine, coffee or tea.
I found myself wanting to cook comfort foods and keep my family close while we waited for news. If I was still living in the Mid-Atlantic and was going to feed displaced family and friends, I would put a couple trays of this squash in the oven. It is simple, delicious, healthy and hard to eat too much of. You can eat this with your hands, skin and all, while you sit around talking and catching up.
This is a perfect side dish for adults and kids alike as well as a healthy snack.
If you can spare $10 or more, please consider donating to the American Red Cross to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. It all adds up and there is so much need right now.
Thanks for listening,
Alyssa Brantley

Two men and a woman offered to help a motorist in distress west of West Palm Beach early Tuesday, then clubbed him over the head with a gun and shot him in the leg, officials said.
The assailants fled in a red van and were stopped minutes later by a West Palm Beach police officer, who, unaware of the shooting, let them go.
The shooting occurred about 3 a.m. outside an adult bookstore on 464 S. Military Trail, deputies said. John Maine, 43, of Lorida, Fla., told detectives his car broke down nearby and he pushed it into the bookstore parking lot.
Maine said a young woman stopped to help, and drove him around in an unsuccessful attempt to find some jumper cables before bringing him back to his car.
A short time later a 1982 Ford van pulled into the parking lot, and a man told Maine he could come inside and get a set of jumper cables, according to police reports. When Maine refused, the man pulled a handgun, struck him on the head, then shot him once in the leg, police said.
The gunman, who was accompanied by another man and a woman, then stripped Maine of his watch, ring and more than $300 before driving away, police said.
Less than five minutes later, West Palm Beach police received a report of a prowler, and Officer John Kelly pulled over a red Ford van near a warehouse at 1304 Old Okeechobee, Lt. John Conklin said.
While questioning the couple, Kelly found the stolen wallet in some bushes, Conklin said.
Although Kelly was suspicious, he had not heard of the shooting a few minutes earlier, Conklin said, and he let the couple go.
Three minutes later, the Sheriff's Office issued a radio bulletin, but by then the couple were gone, police said.
Maine was treated and released Tuesday morning from Doctors Hospital west of Lake Worth. Deputies continued their search for the assailants.

TULSA, Oklahoma - It's flu season in Oklahoma. Since September 1st, state health officials report 13 flu cases across Oklahoma.
State health officials say to help avoid becoming one of those cases in the weeks ahead, you should consider getting a flu shot.
They are available at county health departments across the state.
The Oklahoma State Department of Health says the current flu season typically runs through May of 2018, and one of the best ways to prevent getting sick is by getting the vaccine.
It also helps with "herd immunity," by cutting down on the number of cases that can spread to the most vulnerable population - the elderly, the very young and those with chronic health problems. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone six months of age and older receive the vaccine each each.
Other ways to cut down on your chances of getting the influenza virus:
•Stay home from work, school, and other public places if you are ill.
•Make "respiratory hygiene" a habit, including use of tissues to cover coughs and sneezes, then disposing of them and performing hand
•hygiene immediately. When tissues are not readily available, use your sleeve, never your hands.
•Frequent hand hygiene using soap and water, or alcohol-based products such as hand gels when hands are not visibly soiled.
Wednesday morning, the 6 In The Morning crew took time to get their flu shots while they were on the air.
Buy more ammo!

Israel's incoming defense minister just proved he couldn't care less about international criticism over the country's discriminatory laws against Palestinians.
Avigdor Lieberman, known as one of the most extremist members of the Israeli government, has reportedly demanded for a death penalty for terrorism-related murders — but only in West Bank military courts.
Lieberman's proposal automatically exempts Israelis and Jews from a death sentence because under Israel's dual legal system, Arabs or Palestinians are tried in military courts while Israelis or Jews are tried in civilian courts.
A source in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party told Israeli newspaper Haaretz the new laws "will all but ensure that Jews will not be sentenced to death, even when they kill Palestinians in acts of terrorism."
As blatantly discriminatory as the idea may be, it's hardly surprising given the fact that Lieberman is the one who suggested it in the first place.
Recommended: Why Was This 12-Year-Old Girl Tried In A Military Court?
The ultranationalist politician of the Yisrael Beytenu party made headlines last year after suggesting Israeli Arabs who are disloyal to the State of Israel should have their heads chopped off.
"Whoever's with us should get everything — up to half the kingdom," Lieberman stated at an elections conference last March. "Those who are against us, there's nothing to be done — we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head. Otherwise we won't survive here."
So, it's pretty clear Lieberman has a penchant for capital punishment, especially for Palestinians. Unfortunately, this spells trouble for the Israeli government already under fire for unlawful killings, excessive use of force, torture, discrimination against Palestinians, especially minors, without proper trials.
However, considering how eager Netanyahu is to appoint an unabashed extremist like Lieberman, it doesn't look like the Israeli government is interested in alleviating international human rights concerns.

(DETROIT, MI) – With the 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears, the Lions improved to 9-4 and claimed the team's eighth victory in the past nine games. It marks the best nine-game stretch in a single season since 1995 when Detroit won eight of the final nine games that year.
By defeating the Bears, the Lions have now won five in a row during a single-season for the first time since 2011.
"You know, I look at it this way. Number one, it was a big game. Number two, nobody said it was going to be easy. Number three, our guys fought to find a way to get it done," said Lions head coach Jim Caldwell. "It may not be pretty, but this is the way it is in this game. I just know one thing, you don't do it that many times and consider it luck, so there is some skill in there. I think our guys do a tremendous job of being able to handle tough
After trailing 17-13 with 7:07 left to play in the fourth quarter, the Lions put together a 7-play, 76-yard drive that covered 3:50 and culminated with a 7-yard touchdown scramble by QB Matthew Stafford with 3:17 left to play. The come-from-behind victory was the eighth time this season that the Lions have trailed in the fourth quarter and won the game.
"A lot of white jerseys. I was able to get in. You know, we just – We had to get a score there," Stafford said about his TD run. "They covered us up pretty good initially. I don't know who I – I felt like I leaned back and took off to run and was trying to find somebody to throw it to, and then once I decided to run, I was getting in."
Detroit has now set a new NFL record, surpassing the previous total of eight set by the 2009 Indianapolis Colts, who were also coached by Jim Caldwell, for the most wins in a season after trailing in the fourth quarter.
By limiting the Bears to 17 points, the Lions have now extended their current streak of holding opponents to 20 points or less to seven games

— Detroit Lions (@Lions) December 12, 2016
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin finished with three receptions for 49 yards and 1 touchdown in the Lions' win. On Boldin's second reception of the day, a 16-yard touchdown catch which gave the Lions a 10-3 lead in the second quarter, he surpassed WR Andre Johnson (1,062) for 10th-place on the NFL's all-time career receptions list.
"It was a mismatch that we were seeing early on in the game. Anytime we lined up in that formation they brought a safety down to cover me," Bolden said. "We felt like it was a situation that we could take advantage of. Kind of told Jimbo (offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter) what we were seeing and, you know, he called a good play."
Stafford completed 21-of-35 passes (60.0 pct) for 223 yards and 1 touchdown.
Wide receiver Golden Tate caught 6 passes for 58 yards against Chicago. With 71 catches this season, Tate has now registered 70+ catches for the third-consecutive season. Since signing with the Lions in 2014, he has accumulated 260 receptions, which are the most by a Lions player in their first 45 games played with the club.
Matt Prater connected on field goals of 29 and 54 yards and he is now 28-of-31 on the season, and his 28 field goals are now tied for the sixth most in a season with Jason Hanson in 1995.
