I've always been a huge fan of scary movies, but I won't lie. Some of them have given me horrible nightmares.
Although I'm okay with the occasional bad dream because I love the genre so much, I don't think I could continue watching horror flicks if they brought real paranormal activity into my life.
The people below know exactly what I mean, because they've shared seriously terrifying stories about what happened to them after watching (and even starring in) horror films.
1. Vera Farmiga, who starred in "The Conjuring" and "The Conjuring 2," said that when she went home from filming one night, she found three slashes across her laptop's screen. Director James Wan also saw his dog growling one night at what appeared to be nothing at all.
The Perrons, the real family that the films were based on, came to the set one day. When they went home, Carolyn Perron felt a strange presence push her to the ground.
2. Nancy P. told Week In Weird about the chilling nightly visitor she had to entertain after watching "The Conjuring 2."
I wanted to send an email to let you know that strange things have started happening in my house after my [husband] and I watched "The Conjuring 2." Everything was fine until the end of the movie when Lorraine said the name "Valak." As soon as she said the name, our back door swung open and it sounded like someone came running into the house. When my husband went into the kitchen to check, there was no one there. For the last three days, we have heard knocking on our walls at night and the sound of someone walking up our stairs. I know it is because of that movie and we're already talking about calling a priest over for a blessing on the house. There is something wrong with that movie.
3. Maria B. and her family were plagued by a destructive phantom after they watched part of "The Conjuring 2" as well.
Just wanted to throw this out there. Last night we watched part of "The Conjuring 2." Not all of it, since my son was scared already. My husband went to go put my son off to bed and slept with him. At almost 3 a.m., my husband came back to our room. [He] lies down in bed and in our closet we hear a sound of dishes breaking. My husband gets up turns on the light. And the picture of us married, the beautiful picture frame it stood in was broken in two. I should not have agreed to watch that movie. All my stuff in my closet is put away so neatly. I am still trying to understand how it could have flown and broken like that. Sorry to have bugged you, just thought you should know. People should not watch that movie.
4. Gina Frost from the U.K. suffered through 40 years of terrifying hallucinations after watching "The Exorcist" as a teenager.
Just one week later, I was in my bedroom and I began seeing rats running up and down the walls. I ended up locking myself in my bedroom for weeks because I was so petrified. I thought I was going mad. It took me about nine weeks before I felt like I could go back into the world.
Ever since then, I have been experiencing awful hallucinations that make me feel sick. I hallucinate about my own death. It's like I am watching a film in my head where I am being ripped apart and tortured. It is enough to turn anybody's stomach and it makes me feel ill.
The hallucinations have taken over my life
when it comes to social situations. Ever since I was 18, I have
tried to avoid being in social situations just in case I have a
hallucination. Between the ages of 18 and 39, the hallucinations were
erratic, but over the past 10 years they have gotten worse.
At one point, I was having up to three hallucinations a week and each one lasted three minutes. I often felt exhausted afterwards.
I haven't been able to watch a horror film since.
Although things have gotten better for Frost since she started taking medication, her hallucinations still haven't fully gone away.
5. After people went inside a theater in Rome to watch "The Exorcist," lighting struck a nearby church and left the shape of a cross on the ground below. This film also caused many people to pass out and vomit while watching it that night.
Many creepy things also happened during the making of the movie. Several actors and their family members (including relatives of the crew) died shortly after filming was finished, and multiple fires broke out on set.
6. Jennifer Carpenter, star of "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," believes that she was followed home by some kind of entity during the making of the movie.
When we were shooting, my stereo kept turning itself on in the middle of the night. It freaked me out because it started playing Pearl Jam's "Alive" — just the "I'm still alive" part. It stayed with me for a while.
7. In the middle of watching "The Conjuring 2," Joanne P. and her family heard terrifying screams that weren't part of the movie.
We were just watching "The Conjuring 2" and my family paused it while I went to my bedroom to change into my pajamas. As soon as I walked into my bedroom, I could hear loud screaming. I thought they turned the TV up really loud in the living room, but then realized it was coming through my bedroom TV speaker. There was nothing on my TV. My two sons, grandson, and son's girlfriend all witnessed it. Needless to say, we stopped watching the movie.
8. Actress JoBeth Williams said that during the filming of "Poltergeist," she found the pictures on her walls hanging crookedly every night, even though she fixed them every time.
Heather O'Rourke, the star of the movie, even passed away at only 12 years old, but she wasn't the only actress to die. Dominique Dunne was murdered by her ex-boyfriend the same year the movie was released.
It is believed that real human skeletons were used in the film and that this cursed everyone associated with it.
9. William Castle, the producer of "Rosemary's Baby," received many letters from people who had watched the movie. They told him that he had unleashed evil by making it. Not long after, he suffered a urinary blockage and had to have surgery. During his operation, he reportedly shouted, "Rosemary, for God's sake, drop the knife!"
Director Roman Polanski's pregnant wife, Sharon Tate, was tragically murdered by Charles Manson a year after the film's release, and John Lennon was shot outside of the hotel that's in the movie.
Composer Krzysztof Komeda also passed away one year after the release due to a brain aneurysm, just like one of the characters does in the movie.

Music from the Apple MacBook Air commercial
When I first saw the MacBook Air commercial on TV it wasn't the notebook I was paying attention to, but the music. It seems I wasn't alone as this post from the PromoGuy.net site reveals the identity of the artist and the song as Yael Naim's New Soul. There's also a link in the article to the album on iTunes if you're into that.
Yael's Web site links to the following video, which I hope means it won't get yanked due to copyright violation.

Consumers enthusiastically praise this sheet set's vibrant color options. This set includes a decorative pillow and standard sham.
The stitching could be better, especially on the sham. Many customers complain about premature fraying and loose strands.
While you'll pay a bit more up front for this set, many satisfied customers are happy with its durability over time.
A top choice for anyone seeking to add a bit of serenity to a room. This fully quilted embroidery is suitable for queen or king sized beds.
Some customers complain that this set runs a bit small, meaning that the quilt won't touch the floor as shown in photos.
It's not the warmest choice, but this set is optimal for year-round use and seems to hold up well.
Generates enthusiasm among consumers looking for a solid year-round set that's light weight yet warm enough for the cooler months.
A handful of consumers note that the material seems a bit thin for chillier nights.
This is one of the more expensive sets. It appears to hold up well over time if you avoid using the dryer.
Stands out for its super-soft material. The quilt is made from a durable 100% cotton and is fully reversible.

Education Secretary John King on Monday rejected an appeal from ACICS regarding revocation of its status as a recognized accrediting body. This ruling threatens federal financial aid dollars for nearly 300 colleges with 600,000 students. Institutions accredited by ACICS have 18 months to find other accreditors, which are not required to accredit them.
The National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity voted in June 2016 to deny the accrediting agency the recognition it needs to operate after it allowed some Corinthian Colleges campuses to continue operating after state and federal authorities accused it of fraud .

TECHINASIA - "This VR treadmill gets you out of your seat."
VRFOCUS - "Unlike other omni-directional treadmills the Kat Walk doesn't have a ring around the waist which can feel restrictive."
GADGETIFY- "Thanks to an omnidirectional treadmill such as the KAT WALK, you can get a more realistic experience when playing games."
Road to VR - "KatVR has taken a different approach, aimed at a more open design"
VIRTUAL REALITY REPORTER - "KAT WALK aims to provide a strain-free movement and risk-free VR gaming experience!"
KAT WALK is a new omni-directional treadmill for virtual reality. It has been designed to be as unrestrictive as possible giving the user 360 degrees of continuous movement within a small space. It is compatible with virtual reality headset such as Oculus Rift.
With its built-in and wearable sensors, you can literally walk/run (forwards and backwards), jump, crouch and sit in the virtual world.
KAT WALK is especially suited for FPSs and other applications in where you need to move around. You can control the in-game character with your own body, helping to increase presence and decreases simulator sickness.
The innovative KAT WALK independent support structure and open construction sets your arms and legs free.
It separates the space of body movement and the support structure. Without a ring or column surrounding you, it allows you to chop, wave, pick, beat, kick, run sharply and more.
You can move freely and securely without constraint or worrying about hitting anything. You can swing your arms naturally or rest your hands by your sides, getting closer to a natural walking posture.
Different games call for different movements. KAT WALK allows you to switch to different actions anytime you want, so you can sit down to drive or fly when a game requires it.
KAT WALK has not just simply removed the column and ring seen in our previous prototypes.
To achieve a good and safe experience, our unique design can limit your horizontal movement range and stop the vertical movement function while walking and running providing stable support.
It can automatically provide 35cm vertical moving range while jumping, crouching and sitting.
The harness is adjustable to accommodate different body shapes, and allows user to sit, with supporting weight up to 308lbs (140kg).
Meanwhile it can help users move back to center to adjust the position offset while walking, which can increase the sense of balance and safety.
The support structure is adjustable to accommodate a user height ranging from 4'3" to 6'7" (130cm - 200cm). And you don't have to worry about jumping, because the harness moves up and down with you, so when you jump, you'll never hit the top of harness.
When we walk in real life, friction helps propels us forward.. Without friction we cannot walk normally. Frictionless walking is awkward (like walking on ice) and you must pay close attention to stay balanced.
To make walking in VR feel more natural, KAT WALK uses special high-friction material and the constant force of rolling friction by using special shoes to simulate real walking forces and human motion. This makes you feel like you are walking on real ground instead of sliding walk. With normal friction, it is easier to keep balance and it will decrease the time it takes anyone to learn to use KAT WALK.
KAT WALK uses a cambered base to transfer gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, and to reproduce the movement locus.
Everything KAT WALK does is to achieve the natural feeling of walking.
The prototype you see here is kind of big. We created it to prove our brand new solution, to show that our system works in action.
We already have all the engineering plans to make it smaller, lighter and prettier to suit your living room. We will share more details with you very soon because we are under the processing of being patented.
With your help, we can make it a real product and enter the mass production process.
The Kickstarter shipping version is projected to have an outer diameter of 40" (100cm) and weigh 165lbs (75kg). The support structure will be narrower and foldable. The material will be changed to Aviation aluminum alloy. The base will be thinner and will be made of composite material. Some of the mechanical parts will be changed to electric parts to make it smaller. There will also be more modifications to the harness and shoes to improve the user experience.
Manufacturing hardware is not cheap and easy, and you might be worried that we will run out of funds before we are able to get our finished product out the door.
We are located in Hangzhou, China, in an industrial park created and supported by the Government and Alibaba. The Government had supported us with a $300,000 investment and a rent-free office fully furnished so we can focus on our development. Meanwhile we have received a substantial investment. Together with your help, we are fully confident that we can deliver.
Meanwhile we have received a substantial investment. Together with your help, we are fully confident that we can deliver.
We have researched all the costs involved, from prototyping to manufacturing, and we have a detailed plan to use the funds we have and the funds you will give us to fulfill all our promises.
Our software can transfer body motion to a keyboard or gamepad. This means all the games with keyboard or gamepad support will be playable.
We are developing our own DEMO and will keep you posted on all the news in our update information and on our website.
KAT team is also developing our SDK which will integrate with Unity. The full immersion mode can capture movement and translate it to the in-game character to achieve analog movement and independent looking and walking direction.
You can easily change KAT WALK into useful household furniture.
This means that if you have exhausted your game budget, you can write this one off as a "decorating" expense.
; ) Just kidding!
Seriously though, you can use it to enjoy relaxing virtual reality games or applications in a comfortable way.
Risks and challenges
The production process is the most difficult part of hardware development, especially for a young team. Unforeseeable circumstancesoccur during the whole process. Delays can occur at any stage in the process: from sourcing components to factory test runs, and manufacturing runs.
We will be in communication with you every step of the way and alert you to any unexpected challenges. We'll also give you behind-the-scenes looks at what it's like bringing KAT WALK to life. Thanks again for your support!

With an occasionally flimsy build - most notably on the output paper tray, the Epson Stylus SX400 also won't win too many fans for its build quality, either.
It can also be a struggle to get the USB cable into its socket on the back of the Epson Stylus SX400 - it's a recess within another deep recess. Also tricky to access is the PictBridge slot, which is slung low behind a flap on the printer's front. The good positioning of the two memory card slots, on the front left, however, partly makes up for that.
The Epson Stylus SX400 uses four separate DuraBrite ink tanks (black, cyan, magenta and yellow), which can be easily installed by lifting up the top half of the printer body. You then have to wait a few minutes for the inks to charge before the Epson is ready to print. Epson says DuraBrite prints on compatible paper have an estimated life of 100 years in a photo album. Our prints passed both the scratch and water tests.
It's apparent from the get-go that the Epson Stylus SX400 makes a bit of a fuss of creating your prints. Mono prints take longer than either of the two Canon's - 5 seconds longer at 19 seconds using the default option in Word. It's also noticeably noisier, to the point of being distracting when making multiple prints. Fortunately, the end result is worth it. Black text on white looks suitably dark with only the slightest hint of feathering at character edges.
The Epson Stylus SX400 is an adept performer when it comes to A4 colour prints too. The default setting spit out our test print in a creditable 4 minutes 2 seconds, but the highest setting took 29 minutes 10 seconds. It's just as well then that in standard mode, the Epson produces results that are among the best in this test.
The Epson Stylus SX400 is a great budget all-in-one that produces excellent results with photo prints – as long as you're prepared to wait for them.

With the winter months upon us and the unavoidable gathering of family round "insert culturally appropriate vestige here", I've been thinking more and more about the seasons. With Pathfinder being my particular brand of D&D nog, I considered my own campaign and found it completely lacking in the department of seasonally appropriate antics. I thought at first that the Pathfinder pantheon would yield inspiration, but found it to be, bluntly, a cluster@$#%. There are too many gods wanting too many things. So my mind turned to the mundane, to the medieval, and found fodder in the simple drudgery of serfdom.
Yes, with the late Middle Ages as my guide (since it's the most relevant time period to the D&D oeuvre), I wanted to know what your run-of-the-mill farmer had to look forward to given the taxing nature of their profession.
What I found is a lovely article by Rachel Hartman titled, "The Medieval Agricultural Year", which, despite its drab title, had exactly what I was looking for. The last section of Hartman's article is particularly useful, containing a monthly breakdown of what farmers were doing during specific months of the year:
January: Clear ditches; cut wood; breed sows; spread manure; "camping"; early lambs born.
February: Prune grapes and fruit trees; prune and mend hedgerows; mend fences; kill moles; plant willow; add lime, chalk and manure to soil; lambing continues; calving begins.
March: Plow and harrow as soon as the ground is soft enough; sow spring grains; calving continues.
April: Plant onions and leeks; plant flax; wean calves; get milking and dairy work underway; farrowing (birth of piglets).
May: Weed winter corn; remove moss from thatched roofs and repair; sow pulses; capture swarming bees; mark sheep; plant beets, carrots, cabbages, and other garden vegetables.
June: Wash and shear sheep; shear lambs later in the month; start mowing hay.
July: Keep mowing that hay; harvest flax and hemp; begin harvesting winter corn.
August: Finish harvesting winter grain, begin on spring grain; gather in straw; plant turnips.
September: Harvest peas; breed cattle; harvest honey; plow fields for winter grain; sow winter wheat and rye; harvest apples, blackberries; take excess stock to market.
October: Sow winter barley and oats; harvest grapes; make wine and verjuice; breed sheep; let pigs forage on acorns and beechnuts.
November: Unsuspecting pigs get fatter and fatter; take in firewood; threshing and winnowing continue through the winter.
December: Slaughter hogs; never too early to shovel manure.
This monthly breakdown added to my rudimentary understanding of the four seasons (December, January, and February = Winter; March, April, and May = Spring; June, July, and August = Summer; September, October, and November = Fall) and developed a fuller understanding of exactly how to structure seasonal events.
With it being the month of December the first thing that caught my attention in Hartman's breakdown was the winter slaughter. With the cold just beginning to bite and a period of isolation rapidly approaching for many a farming village, it's the last time for merriment before the shutters find themselves closed for the year. So, with the blood being shed and pork now abundant, I'd say a festival is in order.
Each town has their own traditions, but you can be sure that December marks a time of celebration. It is not uncommon this time of year for adventures to come upon places in various states of revelry. With spirits high and wine aplenty PCs may find the local inns full up, but the general populous a bit more amicable. Reputation can go a long way and adventures could quickly find themselves the center of unwanted attention if not careful.
Once the winter truly descends the PCs can expect to find the streets of even the liveliest of towns subdued by the cold. Most people have hid away from the snow and the PCs may find it difficult to resupply in such conditions.
I recall learning in 7th grade history class that March was generally the month of choice for celebrating the New Year until the institution of the Gregorian calendar established January 1st as the new date. So, winter passes and the land begins to wipe the snowy sleep from its eyes; the sun once again becomes a more frequent friend. With the warm comes work and the blossoming of new life.
The shutters are opening and villages become livelier. With the retreat of snow comes the expectation of the New Year as oxen are once again hitched to heavy plows. The Spring Equinox is at hand and it is common for a celebration to mark the passing of the previous year.
Whichever pantheon catches your fancy (Pathfinder or otherwise) it is likely that particular attention will be paid to those gods who have fertility, farming, rebirth, and even death in their portfolios. Adventures may come upon a simple celebration of life, one that marks the New Year with a little drinking and some merry making. However, it's possible the PCs find something a little more frivolous or outright dangerous during this time of year:
– A barbarian tribe who celebrates with a good ol' ritualistic sacrifice.
– A cult who has themselves a nice orgy to show the fertility god they mean business.
– A village that holds a marriage festival to show the beginning of new life.
If the PCs aren't careful they may find themselves involved in more than they bargained for during the spring months.
Spring passes and summer emerges with its most prominent feature: heat. It's hot. It's sweaty. If you can't tell I detest summer. But pure hatred for something shouldn't hinder the imagination. Not being a farmer myself it took a couple of minutes to realize that summer is important not because of the debilitating heat, but because that debilitating heat brings about the harvest.
The sun's rays bring about the first fruits of labor. It's not uncommon during this time for people to come together in celebration as their hard work finally shows purpose. If it's looking like a good harvest, celebration may be quite lively. If harvest celebration has become something of a national tradition it is likely that even in a large metropolis a ceremony will be held to thank the god of farming (in Pathfinder this is Erastil) for a bountiful harvest.
Small communities are especially exuberant this time of year as a good harvest means a comfortable winter. PCs may find hamlets and small farming villages at party for several days with bread, cheese, and beer aplenty.
This can also be a time of desperation for many a farming community as it is a benchmark for the winter to come. If the harvest is poor because of some environmental or artificial interference it is not uncommon for leaders to ask assistance in locating the cause of the problem, or simply request that the PCs assist in securing more food for the upcoming winter.
Finally, the heat breaks and the leaves begin to change. Fall is here and it's time to turn any excess into cold hard coin. The world moves and shakes in September, with merchants loaded and ready for some good old fashioned travel.
Hustle and bustle is the game as the once vacant roads come alive. People everywhere are ready to take the hard line to get more than fair price on their goods. Merchants are in need of guards, shopkeepers in need of extra hands, even small and isolated villages see a peddler or merchant this time of year.
Adventurers will often be hired on as temporary guards for merchant trains as any season that places import on the transport of goods also creates a swelling in the number of thieves, robbers, and bandits. Theft, like everything else, is seasonal and it would do adventures well to take extra precautions during this time of year to make sure their campsite is secure.
There; a few fun seasonal guidelines for GMs to think about. I didn't provide any seasonal mechanics, but that wasn't really what I wanted to do. I just wanted to put some small thought into providing players with a sense of progress beyond just level advancement.

What do court dates, reading programs, and positive affirmations have in common?
Text alerts.
And what does sending text alerts have to do with these things?
Here are 3 ways that sending text alerts helps solve 3 unique problems.
Court date reminders
Some counties turn to text reminders to help reduce the number of no-shows in court. Carlo Esqueda, Dane County clerk of courts, explains: "Text messages reminders have emerged as a best practice for reminding people of their court dates."
The purpose is for the text messages to serve as additional reminders in order to help people avoid being issued a bench warrant (and possibly going to jail) for failing to appear in court.
Though there hasn't been a study to confirm and there may be other mitigating factors, Dane County recorded a smaller number of bench warrants than previous years since instigating the texting campaign.
Reading program tips
The state of Georgia recently instigated a program to help improve reading proficiency among children. The campaign involves sending parents texts with tips each week on how they can foster their children's reading abilities.
The goal of the program is to give parents the resources they need to make sure their children can read proficiently before starting 4th grade. The idea is simple: children need to be able to read well to succeed in school.
Positive affirmations
Naomi Hirabayashi and Marah Lidey use texting to promote messages of positivity, especially among women.
The idea could extend to businesses wanting to improve their employees' wellbeing, churches desiring to encourage their congregation, or any number of different settings. Everyone needs a good pep talk now and then, and texting provides an avenue to pursue that.
What kinds of unique ways might sending text alerts benefit you and your audience? A simple text can have a lot of power.
You and your organization are unique with unique needs. Have you thought about how you can use text alerts to help reach your goals?

Alphabet Soup: A Primer on Auto Insurance Acronyms and Terms
If you are confused about what auto insurance benefits are and what you might need, you are not alone. Many law students and lawyers do not understand the types of insurance available. Here are the basics on the types of insurance, how they apply, and why you should consider buying the coverage.
PIP Coverage:
What: PIP stands for Personal Injury Protection. It covers medical expenses and a small amount of lost wages if you are out of work for more than two weeks. Benefit limits range from $10,000 to $35,000.
How: PIP is also called "no fault" coverage because it applies regardless of whether or not you were at fault. For example, it does not matter if you were rear-ended or run yourself into a tree–PIP applies. If you are struck by a vehicle while walking or riding your bike, the other driver's PIP, as well as yours, will apply in most instances. If you are a passenger in a vehicle involved in an accident, the driver's PIP should apply to you.
Why: Even if you have good health insurance, PIP offers additional benefits. First, there is no coinsurance or copay for treatment. Second, there is no annual insurance deductible, so for example, you do not need to incur $2,500 in covered medical charges for benefits to kick in. Third, PIP covers treatment many health plans exclude or limit, such as chiropractic care and massage therapy.
What: Liability insurance is mandated by Washington law. The minimum requirement is $25,000.
How: Liability insurance pays when a driver's negligence injures another person.
Why: Because it's the law.
UIM Coverage:
What: UIM stands for Underinsured Motorist. Benefit limits typically range from $100,000 to $500,000, though some policies exceed $1,000,000.
How: UIM coverage applies if the at-fault driver has no insurance, which is unlawful in Washington, flees the scene (also unlawful), or lacks sufficient insurance to pay the full value of the claim. There are several major distinctions between UIM and PIP. First, UIM is not "no fault" coverage. Your UIM insurer "stands in the shoes" of the at-fault driver, and you are only entitled to recover damages under a UIM policy that you would have been entitled to receive from the at-fault driver if he had sufficient liability insurance. Second, UIM does not just cover medical bills and wage loss (what we call economicdamages), but also pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life (what we call noneconomic damages). Third, a UIM insurer is entitled to defend the merits of the claim. For example, if liability is disputed, or if the insurer disagrees about the value of general damages, they can force you to sue or arbitrate to determine the amount of damages.
Why: Remember that not all drivers have or can afford more than the $25,000 minimum liability insurance, which barely covers the average whiplash injury claim. If you are seriously injured by such a driver and have no UIM coverage, not only will you not recover the general damages you are entitled to, you may not recuperate the cost of coinsurance and copays.
Other Types of Insurance:
Comprehensive: This typically refers to coverage for property damage to your vehicle or another vehicle involved in an accident.
GAP Insurance: Cars depreciate in value rapidly in the first few years. If you purchase a car new and do not put much money down, and the car is subsequently totaled early in its car-life, you may owe the lender more than the "actual cash value" or "replacement cost" payable under your auto insurance policy. GAP insurance covers that remainder.

There is no strict dress code although many visitors choose to dress for the occasion and a smart casual look is often adopted.

We recommend that you dress for the weather and wear something comfortable for a day outdoors.
For the glamorous occasions such as Ladies Day and Gentlemen's Day, racegoers make an extra effort to dress up. It's definitely worth the effort to dress to impress if you want to be in with a chance of winning some of the fantastic prizes for best outfit or best hat!
Most public areas are suitable for any form of footwear, however the Centre Course has some grassed areas.
Uttoxeter Racecourse operates a responsible drinking policy and all staff are trained to the highest standards.

Food cannot be brought into the Premier and Grandstand & Paddock enclosures and will be confiscated if found during the security bag search.
Children are allowed in all enclosures including Premier and even better, all under 18s go free when accompanied by an adult. This is the same at all ARC racecourses, making it a great value day out.

PES 2009 is undoubtedly better than last year's disappointing effort. And yet it's got a lower review score. But how can that be? It plays at a more considered pace and, finally, online play actually works with no teleporting, hardly any lag and an impressively speedy quick match option (with two versus two support, no less).
Have we lost our minds? No. Of course we haven't. The reason why PES 2009 is being given a harsher time of it this year is because these things aren't big changes. FIFA 09 is the better game, not only from a graphical point of view, but from a basic gameplay point of view, and EA has tried to tailor the PC version to the hardware. Playing PES 2009 after a FIFA 09 session makes you realise that, actually, there's not much about Konami's game that couldn't be achieved on the PS2 and almost no effort has been made to build a game suited to the PC.
Player animation is rotten. Players run about with their arms pumping back and forth as if they're robot men. The eight way movement is as wooden as ever. The passing and shooting animations are archaic. The commentary is delivered with as much quality as an episode of Hollyoaks. The soundtrack has been cribbed from a wedding DJ's vinyl collection. The player faces look silly. A magical barrier surrounds the throw-in taker. Keepers take forever to distribute the ball. Having speedy wingers cross the ball in for headed or volleyed goals is an overpowered strategy. Month old transfers have been ignored. Half the teams have made up names and games often descend into hilarious
pinball battles as the ball whizzes about as if a cat's plaything (one goal we scored against a friend - where a shot slowly rebounded off the post, onto the keeper's shoulder and into the net, had us crying tears of laughter).None of these criticisms will surprise PES fans. This is the way PES has played for a good few years now, and this is the way it plays once again. We've forgiven PES these deficiencies in the past because, well, FIFA was no alternative. But now it is. In fact it's better. It's impossible to ignore. PES doesn't play a real game of football any more, as it once proudly proclaimed from the terraces. It plays something else, something different.
Admittedly there are some areas where Konami is clearly trying. The Be A Legend mode is at first glance a complete rip off of FIFA's Be A Pro mode, but those in the know will be aware that it's actually the Western implementation of Winning Eleven's Fantasista mode, a feature that's been running for longer than FIFA's alternative. Here, you create a 17-year-old player (you can scan in your face via Web Cam if you fancy it) and bid to become captain of your country. You start out, however, playing for the wonderfully named Babilayna CF versus Athletic Club Salsabie, but you're being watched by a number of scouts from top clubs. After the game you're offered a contract at a top club (no matter how bad your performance you're picked up). We were offered terms with three clubs, but Man City (sans Robinho of course, this is PES after all) seemed like the best bet. From there, you need to impress during training matches to make the bench, and then make an impression when brought on as a substitute. It's an interesting mode to mess about with, and we have to admit that it's something that we can see a lot of players pumping many hours into, especially if they're bored of the now tired Master League, which once again makes an appearance without any significant changes. That you can take your created Legend online is an added bonus. But, ultimately, we can't see the mode replacing the traditional one on one PES match.The addition of the Champions League license sounds a lot better than it actually is. You'd think that Konami's securing of the best club competition in world football would mean PES 2009 would have the official license for all of this year's participating teams, but it doesn't. Only a select number of clubs are officially licensed, once again. Disappointingly Liverpool FC and Manchester United FC are the only officially licensed Premier League teams on offer. The illusion that you're playing a real Champions League game is shattered somewhat when Manchester United are going up against London FC. Yes there's now a full edit mode, which means that those of you with the time and inclination can right all those transfer wrongs (of which there are many - Shevchenko is still at Chelsea and Berbatov is still at Spurs, for example), and correct all the club names, but really it's a pain in the arse we shouldn't have to suffer. The saving grace for the PC version is the ease at which players will be able to download unofficial team and player conversion mods transforming non-licensed teams into something closely resembling the real thing.
And yet, despite all of the problems, there's still fun to be had from PES 2009. It's incredibly hard to nail down exactly why this is, but it's there nonetheless. Perhaps it's due to the fact that the pace of the game has been slowed ever so slightly, and that keepers are actually a lot better than in previous versions. Whatever the reason, a screamer from 25 yards is as magic as it always was. It'll still get you up off your seat and screaming your heart out. This just about saves the game from filling our hearts with bitter disappointment. That and the fact that online play actually works, which is absolutely great. PES might be feature light in comparison to FIFA's packed offering, but it still offers a fun game of virtual football. And, inevitably, some people will always prefer PES' gameplay, which is fair enough.
Still, we can't help but feel that there's going to be thousands of PES fans who embrace the power of the dark side this year, on account of the fact that it simply doesn't feel like Konami is putting much effort into the so-called 'next-gen' versions of PES these days - and that includes PC. You might even say the PS2 is the lead platform, when you compare the strides forward between Konami and EA's efforts. PES 2009 is a good game, but the times they are changin', and we're afraid that Konami is being left behind. Time for a reboot, Seabass.The Minimum system requirements:

Just Outta Beta - Just Out of Beta
Release: Late '95
Ah, finally - a videogame that captures the spirit of the classic late-1960s and early-1970s cartoon Scooby-Doo from Hanna-Barbera Productions.
The game designers could've taken the lazy route (like so many before them) and thrown together yet another crappy run-and-jump game. Instead, they deliver a point-and-click adventure that has every feature a Scooby-Doo fan could want. There's a rendition of the cartoon's theme song. (Of course, "Scooby, Scooby-Doo, where are you?" is the only lyric I can ever recall.) There's the purple-and-orange Mystery Machine. And, naturally, there's that goatee-sportin', marijuana-smokin' - oh, c'mon, you just know he does - dude, Shaggy.
The puzzles aren't particularly challenging, but the game makes up for this by giving you not one, but two complete adventures. A double dose of Scooby-Doo? I'm in retro heaven. - Zach Meston
Scooby-Doo Mystery: Sega Genesis US$49.95, Super NES $59.95. Acclaim Entertainment: +1 (516) 656 5000.
Indigo Boom
Release: Late '95
Next time you're in a high-end computer graphics store, brush aside the drooling 3-D graphic artists and game creators and check out SGI's newest graphics wundertool, the Indigo2 Impact. These machines - responsible for more than half of SGI's annual revenue - now run three to five times faster and offer up to 100 times the visualization power. SGI: +1 (415) 960 1980.
Navigating for Dollars
Release: December
Can you imagine the stress hovering over Netscape Communications Corporation? The company is little more than a year and a half old, growing faster than it can keep up with, and burdened with an inflated stock price - while all of Wall Street awaits its next move. What should it do?
Well, it could try turning its Web browser into a worldwide operating system and lining up thousands of developers to write for it.
That's the plan, anyway, with the latest release of Netscape products. By allowing its browser to accept inline plug-ins (modular additions to the program that enhance function), the company is positioning itself to become the platform in the rapidly changing world of Web development. Add to the mix a handful of experimental additions to HTML and compatibility with Sun's Java language, and it becomes clear that Netscape is doing to the Web in the '90s what Microsoft did to personal computing in the '80s.
Still not convinced you should hold onto your shares? What if Netscape added real-time editing capability to the browser? Or created server tools that could interact with databases? The new Navigator Gold and LiveWire Pro products round out the company's plan for world domination by doing just that.
While it remains to be seen whether Netscape can keep up over the long haul, so far, the young company has a death grip on the industry. - Jeffrey Veen
Netscape Navigator 2.0: US$49. Navigator Gold 2.0: $79. LiveWire Pro: approximately $1,000. Netscape Communications Corporation: +1 (415) 528 2555, or via the Web at .
Embracing Embarc
Release: December
Motorola's Embarc worldwide paging network has been around for four sleepy years. But it's shaking things up with two big-name alliances - with ESPN and CNBC - to provide information services. Stock quotes, CNBC biz news headlines, or sports scores can be sent every quarter-hour. Who knows - smart moves like this may help the dying network survive PCS. Embarc: +1 (407) 739 3151.
Mind Over Matter
Release: Late '95
Though I still can't use the power of my thoughts to silence barking dogs in the middle of the night or transport myself to Europe for dinner, I can control a computer or play a videogame using my thoughts alone - and MindDrive.
The brainchild of former Atari executive Ron Gordon and his team of 40 programmers in Siberia, this input device taps into your thoughts to move objects on a computer screen. Sci-fi as it may sound, MindDrive reads physiological signals with a sensor sleeve connected to your finger.
As you think "right" or "left" and become calm or agitated, your mind sends out different patterns of brain-wave frequencies, which pass through your skin and can be interpreted by the sensor.
How precise is MindDrive? Well, it's definitely not as easy to use as a mouse. But it's a natch for the entertainment and educational software that Gordon's company has cooked up. Those attuned to higher frequencies: wire up and take a peek behind the doors of perception. - Lynn Ginsburg
MindDrive: From US$129. The Other 90 Percent Technologies: +1 (415) 332 0433.
Grave New World
Release: Late December
He's baa-ack! Terry Gilliam steps behind the camera again to make Twelve Monkeys. But this time he's not the drippy, whimsical filmmaker who brought us The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or the warm and cuddly creator of The Fisher King.
No sirree, Twelve Monkeys marks the return of the ranting, raving celluloid anarchist who hacked our nervous systems with Brazil and its darkly comic view of a future in which technology runs amok.
Putting a fresh spin on memory, dreams, and our precarious perch in space and time, Gilliam unfurls his tale in 2035, when survivors of a global holocaust inhabit a subterranean hell.
Moviegoers with a taste for the twisted will appreciate this gritty Orwellian nightmare crafted by screenwriters David and Janet Peoples (Blade Runner). The visual world of grotesque present-day cityscape and decaying future comes off rawer than Gilliam's past creations.
Frightening and funny, this fleshy sci-fi flick takes a high-tech dip in the primordial ooze. Catch an eyeful at www.mca.com/universal_pictures/12/index.html, or at cineplexes nationally. - Paula Parisi
Twelve Monkeys: Playing at select US theaters in December and January.
Release: Late '95
Miss it? Myst: you've played the CD-ROM, now read the book. While the world awaits the Myst sequel (due out next year), the Miller brothers try their hand at fiction in Myst: The Book of Atrus. The buzz is that Rand and Robyn should stick to new media. Hyperion: +1 (212) 633 4400.
Way Bad Mojo.
Release: Late '95
Picture this: you're a cockroach crawling through urinals, sewers, and decrepit kitchens in search of your human half. This is the scene of Bad Mojo, a new CD-ROM action-adventure. Who's to thank for this twisted scene? None other than Pulse Entertainment (formerly Drew Pictures), creators of the hit game Iron Helix. Pulse: +1 (415) 247 7600.
Sonic Revelations
Release: Late '95
If you've seen a movie in a theater equipped with Dolby Surround sound, you've experienced the roaring brilliance of digital multichannel audio. Now, Pioneer and Dolby AC-3 bring to home entertainment the same startling audio clarity that moviegoers have reveled in for years.
Forget stereo with a wimpy two channels of sound, or even Dolby Surround with four. AC-3 introduces a whopping 5.1 channels - one left, right, and center; two surround; and a bass-only channel (the 0.1).
The resulting channel separation, dynamic range, and overall fidelity to original soundtrack mixes are breathtaking. Hooked to my home setup (a laserdisc player with stereo speakers), Pioneer's top-of-the-line processor threw out the most astounding, transparently tangible 3-D sound field I've heard in my living room.
Keep your eyes peeled for more AC-3 in months to come. It's been chosen as the audio standard for the US HDTV format, as well as Toshiba's digital videodisc and future iterations of direct broadcast satellite TV systems.
You'd have to be deaf not to covet this like a mofo. - Corey Greenberg

PSSI: +1 (214) 739 0800.
No Way to Play Host
Release: December
Host, a near-future biomedical thriller by Peter James, has a plot Ralph Merkle would love. This novel details what happens when Jack, an artificial intelligence and cryonics expert, freezes the mind of Juliet - his beautiful, terminally ill research scientist - and then downloads it to his computer.
Host's focus on cryogenics arrives fresh on the scene (or at least fresh-frozen). Passages describing bodies being clinically chilled and thawed are among the best in the book.
But midway through this novel, as the computer becomes malevolent and starts threatening Jack's wife and child, Host falls into a string of predictable clichés, beginning with a garbage disposal that turns on its owner. Imagine Fatal Attraction crossed with Dark Seed.
At first the stuff of brilliant science fiction, James's tale of cryogenics, immortality, and artificial intelligence finally seems not only familiar but downright dull. - Marc Laidlaw

x = 45, y = 47, rule = B3/S23
Or even 9sL, if it's okay to make the constellation a little wider, but I think the "saved" turners will just be added back in later in the conversion to a one-glider seed anyway:
x = 47, y = 56, rule = B3/S23
Then it's just a matter of hunting through simsim314's nice labeled splitter collection for the correct timing of splitter, plus a couple more boats to put the results on the right lane. That makes a fairly compact 15sL Cordership seed:
x = 62, y = 61, rule = B3/S23
It's a little more expensive per switch engine, because the 2-engine Cordership is a lot more delicately balanced than Paul Tooke's three engines. If you put those three in place, the Cordership basically just takes off.
For the new Cordership the two engines' combined exhaust has to be carefully encouraged to burn correctly. Anyone see any better ways to do this? The two white still lifes in the following version are just getting rid of a nasty non-spark that eventually becomes the usual Herschel plus a blinker:
x = 62, y = 61, rule = LifeHistory
I haven't checked yet whether those two still lifes can be replaced by one lucky one (except for some fiddling around with Seeds of Destruction, which didn't turn anything up immediately.) Also AbhpzTa's three cleanup gliders can maybe be simulated by some smaller number of still lifes. I didn't look very hard once I found that the spaceship's standard blocks were conveniently out of the way of the two trigger gliders.
Even at 15sL, this seed will have a relatively short slow-salvo construction recipe. Unlike the old 3-engine Cordership seed, this one is easily narrow enough to be constructed and triggered in any orientation with simeks' 0-degree construction arm recipes. So this makes another significant step toward a workable SMOS (self-synthesizing spaceship) and/or a quadratic-growth replicator.

Mindfulness is so important! 5 Resources to get you Started with Mindfulness!
Mindfulness: Why it's important and 5 easy ways to start!
So I might get a little "woo-woo" in today's post, but it'll be worth it!
Here I go…
I used to totally be a non-believer of meditation. I've come up with every excuse possible not to meditate… "I don't have time", "I can't meditate, my mind won't stop", "I'm not the meditating kind of person", etc. While completing my education at Institute for Integrative Nutrition, several speakers shared their experiences with meditation and it got me thinking. I began to notice that thoughts of meditating would randomly pop up in my mind. Once I noticed that, I started to question why my mind was so drawn to it. So I decided to give it a try. After meditating semi-routinely (I'm trying to make it a part of my daily routine), I began to feel how beneficial it is. I felt calmer and clearer.
Some use the words meditation and mindfulness interchangeably and that's because you can't meditate without being mindful. Meditation just won't work if you're mind is all over the place and you're not able to bring it back to the present moment. A wandering mind while you're meditating is normal, but it's important to be able to recognize that it's wandered and to be able to bring it back. You can, however, be mindful without meditating.
Definition of mindfulness from Oxford Dictionaries is "a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations". Already, how nice does that sound? How often are you focused on the present moment? I bet not too often. Right now, you're probably wondering what's for dinner tonight or what your plans for the weekend are or where you want to go on vacation next year. While those are all important things to think about, our thoughts for the past and future seem to take over the present. There have been many nights where I've climbed into bed wondering where the day went and having moments from that day come back tome that left me feeling like I'd missed a special moment because my mind was elsewhere. We can dedicate specific times during the day to plan ahead or to reminisce; the rest of the time should be spent in the now.
Benefits of being mindful
I think some benefits of mindfulness are obvious…it helps us stress less, sleep better, not miss important/meaningful moments during our day, and decreases depression and anxiety.
Some not so obvious benefits include: strengthening our immune system, improves our concentration, "can reduce cell damage and lengthen our lives". (1) I also remember reading that mindfulness has been shown to change the structure of our brain! Scientific American states that "the brains 'fight or flight' center, the amygdala, appears to shrink…As the amygdala shrinks, the pre-frontal cortex - associated with higher brain functions such as awareness, concentration and decision making - becomes thinker". (2)
Some studies even show that mindfulness meditation slows the progression of dementia and Alzheimer's!!
5 Resources to get you started
What are you waiting for?! Not sure where to start? Here are some great resources that I've found and use that will help you get started.
www.calm.com - This is probably my favorite website at this time to use for guided meditations. Their meditations are about 10 minutes long and they have an app!
www.chopra.com - This is Dr. Deepak Chopra's site that is filled with articles, guided meditations, and resources. They offer meditation retreats and workshops.
www.mindful.org - This website has a ton of articles for using mindfulness in all areas of your life and for your whole family. They also have a magazine you can subscribe to.
www.michellekirsch.com - Michelle has a super cute website where she offers 3 minute meditations! (There goes your "I don't have time" excuse).
Even UCLA offers guided meditations!
I hope I didn't get too "woo-woo" and I hope I've inspired you to try meditation! It's not just for hippies!
Leave a comment and let me know how it goes!
Peace, love, and wellbeing!

My boyfriend and I were at a get together and I saw one of my friends that I haven't seen in a long time. I went over and talked to him and his father for a bit. My boyfriends ex wife came over and started taunting me and saying ugly things to me. My friend was trying to calm the situation. I kept saying, I will get along with you but I won't continue to take your nonsense. She then gets some man to take my picture and from that he is able to see all things related to me and threatening me and my character. I am enraged and trying to get this to stop. I went looking for my boyfriend only to be told by my son that he left... Just jumped in the car and took off. I said what do you mean he left.. He says I don't know he just left! So I continue to try to get help and this man poses as someone who will help me and I ask him to try to find my boyfriend. He says he will. He calls in 2 other people to help and they grab us and take us to a little shack. At this point I guess my bf is trying to find me now and in the process of the two men stealing me and the other guy that was helping, he , the other guy turns on me and now they are all 3 trying to kill me. I am fighting and getting on the cb radio trying to call out to my boyfriend and he can hear me but can't find me... They are trying to kill me and I am fighting for my life and then I wake up!

Did you know that Malawi is one of the poorest and most aid-dependent countries in Africa?
Did you know it is currently suffering through one of its worst droughts and largest humanitarian emergencies in its history, ravaging one primary food source, maize, leaving millions suffering with little or nothing to eat?
According to the World Food Programme, "Hunger and malnutrition are in fact the number one risk to health worldwide — greater than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined."
THE FACE-TO-FACE PROJECT Victory Garden's succeed because:
They are LOCAL - We work with local villagers and tribal chiefs teaching them how to create their own drought resistant home gardens!
They are LOW Cost - There are no costs to the villager as families can use their own land around their home to create a garden!
They are LASTING – The gardens provide families with nutrition for the foreseeable future, as well as possible food surplus to sell!

The point where a river begins is referred to as its "headwaters," which is usually the smallest part of the entire river. Headwaters can start out in marshy areas or where there are natural underground springs. The beginning of a river can also be fed from thousands of small streams that flow in the same direction.
Water that flows out of the river's headwaters continues down the river's channel until it reaches a large body of water. Along the river's channel are river banks, which are home to many different kinds of wildlife and vegetation. Areas called "floodplains" are flat, low areas beside a river that fill up with water when the water level in a river becomes too high. Heading downstream, the water in a river will eventually reach the delta, or mouth, where it slows down and enters another body of water, such as a lake, ocean or wetland.

Big Haul IIIPosted: June 1, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
RAID Projects is pleased to present the third iteration of Big Haul, an installation series by Sibyl Wickersheimer and Janne Larsen. Big Haul is a 'Call and Response' installation series relying on two petroleum based products chosen for their ability to contract and expand repeatedly. Larsen and Wickersheimer both come out of the theatrical tradition of set design and their approach to manipulating the materials involves the spectacle usually reserved for the stage. This exaggeration transforms the gallery space into a stage space. The artists ask the visitors to be both spectator and actor as they explore the installation from outside the space and within.
In this third part in the series, Larsen and Wickersheimer, use the long, narrow space of the gallery in a playful way transforming the space respectively into a very large pair of pants and a nest-like exploration game, reminiscent of a scene from Hitchcock's The Birds.
Larsen's pants will be open on June 9th from 7-11pm
Wickersheimer's response will open on June 23rd from 7-11pm.
Geneva Skeen will be preforming on June 16th.
Wear pants. Be prepared.
Janne Larsen is an artist and set designer living in Los Angeles. She has a degree in philosophy from DePaul University and received her MFA from CalArts. She has designed theater, opera, dance and installations throughout Los Angeles and New York. Her theatrical work has been seen at Symphony Space, Horsetrade Theater, Bootleg Theater, Pomona College, Cal State L.A., Caltech and Cal Poly. Her artwork has been exhibited in Los Angeles Municipal Gallery, Workspace, Weekend Gallery, Telic Art Exchange, Hi-Lite, Open Space, Outpost for Contemporary Art and The Washington Museum of Art. An upcoming book of her sculptural work will be published by Insert Press in 2013.
Sibyl Wickersheimer has designed a wide range of projects bringing her work to a variety of venues internationally. Recent projects include: What About Dick? written and directed by Eric Idle, Crescent City a new opera with The Industry LA, the set for Transit Space created by Diavolo Dance Company, and The Unfortunates, a new musical for Oregon Shakespeare Festival's 2012-13 season. Sibyl's theatrical set design credits include productions at Lookingglass Theatre, Berkeley Repertory, South Coast Repertory, The Geffen Playhouse, The Kirk Douglas Theatre, The Natural History Museum of LA County, The Actors' Gang, Theatre at the Boston Court, EST-LA, and Circle X. Sibyl's photography and installation work has been exhibited in Hi-Lite, Weekend, The New Chinatown Barber Shop, Gallery 825, Shoshane Wayne Gallery, Andrew Shire Gallery, Hatch Gallery, Latch, and the Pacific Asia Museum. Sibyl is also an Assistant Professor in the USC School of Theatre.

Training sessions for major sports events are gruelling. For mere mortals they can appear to be the pastime of superheroes.
"Cooling or recovery techniques used usually include more traditional methods such as massage, stretching sessions, steam baths, yoga and swimming. But many athletes now claim that plunging into a tub of ice water (about 6C) after exercise increases their rate of recovery and helps reduce muscle pain."
