3A swimming: Bainbridge's McCarthy threepeats in 500 free
Bainbridge takes third at Class 3A meet
It didn't take long for Andrew McCarthy's smile to light up his face once he climbed out of the King County Aquatics Center pool on Saturday.
Bainbridge's McCarthy won his third straight 500-yard freestyle title in the Class 3A state swimming and diving championships, holding off Liberty's Logan Briggs in a stirring final.
"It was a great race and Logan is a fantastic competitor and I have so much respect for him," McCarthy said.
McCarthy held the lead for most of the race. Briggs stayed with the Bainbridge senior, pushing McCarthy to a faster pace than he had been used to this season.
"I knew it was going to hurt from the beginning," McCarthy said. "Over the course of the dual meet season I got into a pace of not having to work too hard to win the five (500 free), so I kind of settled into that."
Briggs took a slight lead into the final 100 yards, and after the last turn, both swimmers were tied. McCarthy then kicked it up a notch to edge ahead of Briggs and touched the wall in 4 minutes, 35.27 seconds. Briggs finished in 4:35.46. Bainbridge's Spencer Alpaugh placed sixth in 4:42.92.
"Even adding time I was pretty happy with the race because it was a great race," McCarthy said.
Bainbridge coach Kaycee Taylor was somewhat surprised the final was as close as it was.
"I don't think Andrew thought it was going to be that close either," he said. "He set out to get the time, Logan helped push him a little bit more. (It's) pretty exciting when they're coming down the stretch with almost the exact same time."
As a team, the Spartans finished third — their best showing since finishing second in 1988.
The team title came down to the final race, the 400 free relay, between Lakeside and Mercer Island.
Lakeside (Seattle) held off six-time defending champion Mercer to win its first team championship with 311 points. The Islanders finished with 300 and Bainbridge had 229.5.
McCarthy was just as proud of his team's performance as his own individual effort.
"It's so amazing that I can't even put words to it," he said. "I'm so happy we got third. It's been decades."
Despite being seeded second in the 200 free, McCarthy wasn't able to threaten Thane Maudslien of Kennedy Catholic for the title.
Maudslien had the early lead and finished more than two body lengths ahead of McCarthy in 1:38.79. McCarthy found himself in a battle with third-place finisher Sean Ekavithorakul of Lakeside. McCarthy touched the wall in 1:43.07 with Ekavithorakul finishing in 1:43.82.
Bainbridge's Alex Nowjack finished eighth in 1:49.12.
Andrew's younger brother, Todd, finished fourth in the 100 backstroke and fifth in the 100 butterfly.
Bainbridge senior Colin Chupik placed fourth in the 50 free and sixth in the 100 free while Alpaugh was fourth in the 200 individual medley.
Decatur coach Rob Hill was named the Washington Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association coach of the year. Hill, 30, was killed Wednesday in a plane crash near North Bend along with Kentwood swim coach Seth Dawson, 31. Hill was piloting the single-engine Cessna that crashed between 1:30 and 2 a.m. Also killed was Liz Redling, 29, of Federal Way. ... Thane Maudslien of Kennedy was named the swimmer of the meet. ... Bainbridge's 400 free relay set a school record in 3:11.02, smashing the old record of 3:14.

Yes, There Is A Final Fantasy XV Cookbook
There are many reasons why players continue to love Final Fantasy XV. Not just because it came from a critically acclaimed series, though this is 100 percent true; simply because it offers tons of exciting stuff to the fans. Now, believe it or not, a cookbook is about to be released thanks to the game.
According to Ubergizmo, the developers of Final Fantasy XV made sure that every recipe in the game could actually exist in real life. Or perhaps, people will able to cook them in their houses, not just in the game itself. Apparently, the fans of the game made it all possible, as they gathered up and created a cookbook based on the title.
USGamer notes that this cookbook contains all the ingredients, recipes and whatnot released to the game. To give the community something to look upon, the creators uploaded it on Google Drive. It can be accessed here as a PDF file. It contains even the most complicated recipe, and what's even interesting, all the ingredients and steps are packed there.
The Final Fantasy XV cookbook is free and will always be made available online. It is quite organized and offers a clean layout so fans would not have to worry about being misinformed. The photos, in particular, are quite clear. This should be enough to stir the interest of many players, and perhaps stir the interest of Square Enix, too. Who knows really, right?
As a matter of fact, there are talks about the studio pursuing a cookbook itself for the fans of Final Fantasy XV. Whether or not this is true, knowing it by nature is still fascinating. Well, no one can blame the video game company if they pursue it. After all, Blizzard did it once and it turned out to be successful. It might just inspire them to go to that direction.

The 25 mm / 1" high-end tweeter BRAX GRAPHIC GL1 is the first of its kind that comes with an innovative ceramic aluminium dome. Its sophisticated material requires a complex manufacturing process in which a plasma flame melts a ceramic powder on the surface of an aluminium substrate. The result is a tweeter dome that combines outstanding stability with low moving mass and high inner damping - perfectly made for brilliant and compression-free treble reproduction. The integrated, with Merino wool damped coupling volume reduces the resonance frequency and therefore allows lower crossover frequencies.

Term Finance is a noncustodial fixed-rate liquidity protocol modeled on tri-party repo arrangements common in traditional finance (TradFi). Liquidity suppliers and takers are matched through a unique weekly auction process where liquidity takers submit bids and suppliers submit offers to the protocol, which then determines an interest rate that clears the market. Bidders who bid more than the clearing rate receive liquidity and lenders asking less than the clearing rate, supply. All other participants’ bids and offers are said to be “left on the table.”
Tri-party repo is a financial arrangement where a seller sells an asset at a negotiated price (purchase price) and simultaneously agrees to repurchase that asset at a future date (repurchase date) at a pre-specified price (repurchase price). The difference between the repurchase price and the purchase price (price differential) can be thought of as the interest earned by the buyer over the term of the arrangement. The repurchase price is a function of the pricing rate or repo rate. Economically speaking, the arrangement is identical in substance to a collateralized loan. The third party in the “tri-party” repo arrangement is a collateral agent who is designated by both parties to handle settlement and manage collateral on behalf of both parties.
The Term Finance Protocol is a protocol that governs the deployments of Term Repo arrangements. Term Repo is an on-chain implementation of fixed-rate fixed-term borrowing modeled on traditional tri-party repo with a few key differences: (i) Term Repos involve digital assets rather than fiat and real world assets, (ii) Term Repos utilize noncustodial smart contracts to automate the settlement and collateral management functions typically administered by a collateral agent in the TradFi context, and (iii) the Repo Rate attached to Term Repo Tokens minted to lenders (and paid by borrowers) is determined by auction.

Diners can expect more imported restaurants at Scottsdale Fashion Square as three new popular concepts born in Los Angeles, New York and Canada have been announced.
Moxies, an “upscale casual” dining experience, is now open, and swanky seafood spot Catch has been named as the second restaurant of up to five that will be part of the mall’s south wing redevelopment. LA-based coastal Italian restaurant Élephante was announced earlier this year.
Here’s what we know about each restaurant and when you can visit.
7014 E. Camelback Road, Suite B120, Scottsdale
Moxies opened on Thursday on the east side of the mall in a 12,000-square-foot space featuring indoor and patio dining.
The menu at Moxies takes cues from across the globe, with spicy tuna rolls, guacamole and poutine among appetizer selections. Serving from brunch until late-night, Moxies also offers a selection of steaks, burgers, pastas and bowls.
Moxies’ drink menu likewise takes a global approach. It features a Fusion Fashioned made with Toki Japanese whisky, Knob Creek rye, cane syrup, double bitters and orange and lemon peels. The Millionaire Margarita is prepared with Herradura Legend añejo, Grand Marnier Cuvée Louis Alexandre, agave and lime.
The physical space also speaks to the restaurant’s goal of providing something for everyone, with an Instagrammable wall adorned with greenery and a lit sign that reads, “I will if you will,” and 20-plus TVs in the lounge and bar. Started in Calgary, Alberta, this is Moxies’ seventh U.S. location and first in Arizona.
Coming in 2025
7014 E. Camelback Road, #612, ScottsdaleOn Friday, upscale seafood eatery Catch announced plans to open in a 12,000-square-foot restaurant in Scottsdale Fashion Square, “providing a stunning oasis amidst the bustling locale,” according to a press release.
Slated to open in early 2025, Catch will serve modern takes on classics and lean into shareable plates. The menu will include a raw bar, sushi, seafood and steak. The Catch announcement teased menu items including Truffle Sashimi with tuna, hamachi, chili ponzu and black truffle purée; Crispy Shrimp with spicy mayo and tobiko; and Lobster Macaroni.
“Locally influenced menu offerings” will be served alongside these “Catch Classics,” according to the release. The drink selection features sake, signature cocktails and reserve cocktails that use high-end spirits, such as Catch’s reserve Old Fashioned that uses Wolves Whiskey.
The hospitality group said to also expect a sleek, modern aesthetic, matched with a lively atmosphere.

My brother gave me a super awesome cookbook this year for Christmas. I anticipate the 100 Best Holiday Cookies will be just the thing to help me lose this baby weight… There are so many goodies in this book, I might look more pregnant postpartum than I was during the actual pregnancy!
The number one cookie that caught my eye was Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies. I guess it’s more of a bar than a cookie, but whatever. I mean, the two-toned look is super fancy, and what better combination is there than peanut butter and chocolate? Of course, being me, I substituted Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa for the dutch cocoa, making these a delicious dark chocolate delight!
I’m planning to make these for any and all cookie exchanges in the future. In 45 minutes, I can have a couple dozen impressive brownies. Plop them on a plate, take them to the exchange and watch everyone oooh and aaah at my flawless brownie game. At least, that’s what happens in my dreams…
Just a few ideas on making brownies just the way you like them.
The trick to getting fudgy brownies is slightly underbaking them. You don’t want a lava flow when you cut into them, but you do want them to still leave a small amount of batter on the knife when you check them. The knife shouldn’t come out clean, but it shouldn’t be completely coated either. The brownies will continue to bake while they’re cooling in the pan, so a slight underbake won’t ruin anything. It’ll just leave your product a little moister, gooier, and fudgier. This is how I personally prefer just about all baked goods, actually.
Another trick you can try to get a heavier brownie is to cut out 1/4 cup flour. This works really well for Pauline’s Brownies, but I’ve yet to try it on this recipe. If you try it, leave a comment and let me know how it goes. I’m curious!
Cakey brownies are what you get if you let them cook until the knife comes out clean. That’s what you see in the pictures. My husband likes brownies this way, but I can’t say I’m as big a fan.
Anyway, whichever way you like them, these chocolate peanut butter brownies are an absolute delight!

Should I write, or should I not write?
Thinking of something... anything to write isn't as easy as it sounds. You have to think real hard on what you want to write.
But what would I want to write? I could write about Seaside Hill or the Click Clock Wood again, but writing about those two so many times can only get me so far.
Perhaps a nice, long look at the bright, clear blue sunny sky should lift up my spirits and get me in the mood to write. After all, walking tends to get the mind thinking about various things. Most of them being ideas that I don't come to actually putting into action. But then that raises the eternal question...
Do I attempt to go the extra mile and put my ideas into words, or do I forever let them eventually fade away into the very far banks of my memories...? What if I'm unable to have these ideas at the forefront of my mind when I type? What if I'm doomed to lose many good ideas when the time comes to actually write?
All things considered, I can't let it get to me. I have to stick with it and do my best to get what I want out of my mind onto my writings. I have to make a good effort to put in my all and express what things I can manage to think while entertaining myself and many others at the same time. Maybe something tasty to eat can help inspire an idea?
Like that delicious pair of ripe bananas? Or a couple of kettle cooked chips? Either way, I won't allow myself to be detered of writing what I want to write. However much tries to go against me, I'll do my best to properly expel my ideas so that I can express myself throughrouly through words.
Yes... words that are typed... but the question remains ever so noticably... what shall I type this time?

Cats Covid 19 Study
About 67 of the owned cats and 43 of the owned.
Cats covid 19 study. Mick Bailey Professor of Comparative Immunology University of Bristol said. A total of 48 cats and 54 dogs from 77 households were tested for Covid antibodies and their owners asked about their interaction with their pets. Cats have been known to contract COVID-19 from humans but there have been no confirmed cases of cat-to-human transmission according to Fraser.
Cats Are More Likely to Catch COVID-19 Than Dogs But Cat Owners Shouldnt Panic. Cats appear to be at least mildly susceptible to COVID-19. Expert reaction to a study looking at susceptibility of pets to the COVID-19 virus SARS-CoV-2 A paper published in Science has looked at the susceptibility of a variety of commonly domesticated animals including cats and dogs to the COVID-19 virus.
The study was aimed at identifying which animals are vulnerable to the virus so they can be used to test experimental vaccines to fight the. The research into better understanding SARS-CoV-2 goes on and a new study sheds some light on how likely our household pets are to get infected specifically finding that cats are more susceptible than dogs to the virus that causes COVID-19. In the new study researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario tested 48 cats and 54 dogs from 77 different households that had a positive Covid-19 case in.
W ith sporadic reports in recent weeks of cats infected with the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 a group of researchers set out to determine whether cats can transmit the pathogen to one another. Dr Els Broens the lead author of the study at Utrecht University said If you have Covid-19 you should avoid contact with your cat or dog just as you would do with other people. SARS-CoV-2 is the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19.
The severity of disease caused SARS-CoV-2 infection in cats is unclear. COVID-19 is common in pet cats and dogs whose owners have the virus according to new research being presented at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology Infectious Diseases ECCMID held. A new study says that domestic cats can be asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19 virus but pigs are unlikely to be significant carriers of the virus.
What effect does COVID-19 have on cats. The animals had no or mild symptoms. Researchers tested tissues samples for SARSCoV2 antigens as well as viral RNA to reach their conclusions.

Future Pathways supports people who have experienced abuse or neglect in care in Scotland
Partners: Penumbra, Health in Mind, Scottish Government, and Glasgow City Council Health and Social Care Partnership
Quick fact: The Scottish child abuse inquiry team has spoken to more than 200 survivors of in-care abuse since the inquiry was setup in 2015[i]
Future Pathways was launched in September 2016 to offer support to people who were abused or neglected as children while living in care in Scotland. It is supported by funding from the Scottish Government and is managed by a group of organisations that make up the Future Pathways Alliance who oversee the fund and make sure it is reaching as many survivors as possible. Future Pathways co-ordinates access to and the delivery of resources, integrated care and support so that survivors can achieve their own goals.
Some examples of support people have accessed so far include: searching for records, trauma support and counselling, adult education classes, arts groups, travel to visit family, support to get into work, legal advice, health and fitness classes, driving lessons and access to further education.
Richard, Future Pathways client
“My trust over the years in any sort of establishment has understandably been completely eroded, and Future Pathways has helped to restore not only that a little bit but also my faith and trust in people, which I never thought possible. I am in my eighteenth session of counselling with someone who really understands me. I’m also getting swimming lessons on a one to one basis, which will eventually help me greatly – when I’m able to stop swallowing half the pool! I’ve also had help with practical things which have made my only place of safety, my home, feel a lot more like a home. One of the most important parts of this whole picture is that John [from Future Pathways] has been so easy to approach. I feel like a person, not a victim, when I have had to contact him, and I know that he genuinely cares."

Editor’s note: Harry Narine Singh and his wife Mearl were plaintiffs in a landmark 1955 Canadian civil rights case. The couple in 1954 emigrated as newlyweds from Trinidad to Toronto, and applied for residency permits. Question No. 8 on the application form asked, “Of what race are you?” The couple replied: “East Indian”. They were ordered deported.
Under a White Canada immigration policy, cabinet excluded foreigners on the basis of race. The Supreme Court in 1955 rejected Narine Singh’s challenge of the regulations. Only in 1961 did then-Prime Minister John Diefenbaker repeal race-based immigration quotas. Mr. Narine Singh died in 2017 in Trinidad. Following is a transcription of his one and only interview, with Blacklock’s publisher Holly Doan, on November 9, 2005:
I was a draftsman. I wanted to join the army. I wanted to further my education, get a decent place to live, earn money at the end of the week to buy groceries. That’s all I asked.
The whites in Trinidad came up to Toronto and got their papers fixed in a very short period of time. We were on Cloud 9. We thought, well, if we go up there, it might take a year, six months, but they will allow us to stay.
I had the shock of my life. I went in and met the immigration officer. He said, “Do you want to stay in Canada?” Yes. “Could you wait a minute?” He came back with a deportation notice. They gave us seven days to leave Canada. That’s how it was.
Here we were, British subjects. My people had fought in the last World War. Lots of my friends died in that war. And here we’re denied. How would you feel? You feel worse than dirt. That’s how I felt.
People of my ethnic background, people of African descent, Chinese – they didn’t want you. You didn’t fit. You did not belong in this society at all at that time.
We went to the Supreme Court. I knew what was going to take place. They’d put us behind bars, lock us up, and we’d wait for passage to send us back to Trinidad, never to come back to Canada as long as I lived.
The whole ordeal was very painful. It was very, very, very painful. At one time my wife suffered a nervous breakdown. That was the reason why. I felt very bitter. I felt like even the dirt on the ground out there was more superior than I was.
You know I once met Mr. Diefenbaker. He shook my hand. He said, “My name is John Diefenbaker.” I said, “Yes, sir, I know your name!” He said, “Do you know I have argued your case in Parliament? Trust me,” he said. “When I become Prime Minister I’ll open the doors from the Caribbean to Canada” – which he did.
I have forgiven the whole bunch of them. They will have to answer to someone else, I suppose. When they die, they will have to answer for what they did.

But short of von Spakovsky stepping aside, lawmakers and White House officials will need to take out their slide rules to sort through a complicated political calculus likely involving a new round of recess appointments. Lawrimore declined to discuss pending personnel matters, but Cyndi Bauerly, a lawyer for Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.), is expected to be named soon as Weintraub’s replacement. Also, Don McGahn, a National Republican Congressional Committee lawyer, likely will replace Michael Toner, whose former commission spot remains vacant.
Toner, Bush’s former campaign lawyer, left the commission last spring to go into private practice.
But combined with Mason, a former aide to retiring Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) and the only commissioner who is not subject to term limits, presumed recess appointments for McGahn and Bauerly still would leave the FEC one commissioner short of the votes necessary to conduct agency business.
Other options White House officials and Senate leaders may be considering include proposing five fresh-faced nominees or exploring whether the deck of current commission recess appointees may be reshuffled and re-recess appointed, a complicated and likely unprecedented strategy.
The White House declined to discuss ongoing considerations on the matter.
Vice President Joe Biden waits to conduct a mock swearing-in ceremony with Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, in the Capitol's Old Senate Chamber, December 2, 2014. Schatz was sworn in to serve the remainder of his term since he was appointed to the seat after Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, passed away.

“Smells Like Teen Spirit” will now not only be known as one of grunge music’s most iconic and legendary songs of the 90s, but soon it will be known as the name of a CBS sitcom.
It’s been announced that the television network has bought the rights to the show, which reportedly was created by Dave Goetsch, the writer behind The Big Bang Theory (I love that show!).
According to The Hollywood Reporter (via NME), the sitcom revolves around a teenager who “forgoes Harvard and instead opts to launch a multibillion-dollar Internet company from his garage with the assistance of his sister, best friend and his 1990s indie-rock parents”.
As you know, “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is arguably Kurt Cobain and Nirvana’s most famous song and NME points out that naming the sitcom after it is “clearly designed to neatly wrap up the teenage protagonist’s ambitions and his parents’ past.”
I don’t know about that, as I don’t really see any relationship between the song and the brief synopsis of the show that was given (other than that it’s set in the 90s), but I do admire Goetsch and his work, so I’m eager to hear more. Aside from The Big Bang Theory, Goetsch is also credited with writing for 3rd Rock From The Sun and Grounded For Life.
Apparently it’s not known yet whether Cobain’s widow Courtney Love has approved of the title being used, but my guess is she hasn’t. I can’t imagine her being too thrilled about this.

I loved being a journalist.
Pros: occasionally making a difference -- albeit, a small one -- in the community
I was hired as a part-time editorial writer for The Eagle before I had my undergraduate degree and stayed with my hometown newspaper for many years before the industry slipped into an ongoing malaise that has since worsened. I especially loved being able to write editorials or stories that prompted change and in small ways, made Wichita a better place. Over time, however, I felt the paper's commitment to the city falter in ways that I did not agree with and had no say over. I decided reluctantly in 2008 that it was best for me to pursue other employment and accepted a voluntary buyout.


Epson Imaging Devices Corp has announced the development of Photo Fine HR transflective amorphous silicon TFT (a-TFT) liquid crystal displays (LCD) for use in mobile devices. Photo Fine HR (high reflect) enables both high visibility and low power consumption in a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments.
The transflective LCDs use a transmissive mode with light provided by a backlight in darker environments, while outdoors and in other well-lit locations their reflective mode harnesses the surrounding light, reducing backlight power consumption.
Photo Fine HR combines the high reflection technology that the company has developed over many years with an optical design that achieves dual transmissive-reflective functionality. This has enabled the company to produce displays boasting both a reflection ratio of over 6% and brightness of over 200cd/m,2, according to omni-directional scattered light measurement. The result is seamless visibility unaffected by the surrounding environment.
Samples of the 3-inch L5F30878 and the 3.5-inch L5F30914 are scheduled to ship in late October 2008.

October 12, 2016
By Dennis Kaiser
The Inland Empire economy is facing such pressures as interest rate uncertainty, the presidential election and Brexit. Yet, the industrial market, its economic engine, continues to fuel growth, despite the challenges. Brokers, developers and investors shared insights on the future of CRE in the region and how to navigate the changing tides at Connect Inland Empire 2016.
Prospects appear bright for the region, even if the economy takes a hit. The Inland Empire is “well positioned to weather any downturn,” says Marcus & Millichap’s Kevin Boeve, “because of its demographics, job growth, job diversity, wage growth and infrastructure growth.” He pointed out that the labor force of the Inland Empire is now larger than the states’ of Nevada, Oklahoma, Utah, as well as the city of San Diego.
That growth has helped propel the region onto the radar of investors, as well. And it is quite a turn around from 2009 when lenders essentially shut the capital tap off to the region. Today, “lenders like the strength of the Inland Empire’s e-commerce,” says CapRock Partners’ Taylor Arnett.
This year, Los Angeles tops the list of investment targets for all product types, according to CBRE’s Mike Kendall, who says that’s the first time in his 25-year CRE career that’s happened. The result is interest is spilling over into other SoCal markets. “That’s why demand is up locally [in the Inland Empire]. The industrial product is ‘white hot’ for the institutional investor sector,” says Kendall.
Though Kendall admits, the investor pool “thins a bit,” for assets that aren’t core/core. He noted that there’s foreign capital pursuing deals. For example, Korean, Swiss and German investors were among the buyer pool for 15 Amazon assets they’ve sold this year. And he says there’s plenty of debt available for the right deals, though “we’re starting to see proceeds go down.”
A factor limiting regional growth in the past has been the fact that the Ontario International Airport has not been under local control. Since that is changing next month, MGR Real Estate’s Mike Rademaker says, despite what may happen in the national economy, “the airport will carry the success” of the region and “I will be leading the development charge.”
Another advantage the Inland Empire has is a 30-year supply of available land. That makes the region particularly attractive to e-commerce and logistics users.
“Finding land in Los Angeles is impossible” for a project to make sense,” says Arnett. It is especially “difficult” when seeking more than 5 acres needed for a project.
That’s one reason Hines elected to add the first industrial property to its portfolio in the Inland Empire. In 2015, the Houston-based firm acquired a 17-building 1-million-square-foot industrial asset in San Bernardino. “We saw an opportunity to restore an asset to its former glory in a market with improving fundamentals,” says Hines’ Varun Akula, who notes the company is exploring development opportunities in the market as well. “It was an opportunity to get in at a low basis, improve the portfolio and experience growth.”
Panelists note, the Inland Empire was one of the last markets to enter a recovery phase that began nationally seven years ago. A longer lead-up to the recovery and a strong e-commerce tailwind bodes well for the future of the region, they say.
As a result, the region may get a few extra innings in this cycle or if a downturn occurs, the affect may be delayed. It may translate into the region continuing to go up while other markets start to decline. Hines’ Akula says it very well could mean a “softer landing” is in store for the Inland Empire.

But what still puzzled me was that there were some key words on the lyrics of the songs on that album released by Led Zeppelin in 1971. Our lives reflect what we continually think about, all the things we take in, such as food, TV, ideas, beliefs, habits, people.For example, the word 'Book of love' on the song 'Rock n Roll', or the last song of the album 'When levee Breaks'. This thread is full of people with different backgrounds and mindsets.Just as an aside, Robert Plant's reaction to Heart playing "Stairway To Heaven" at the Kennedy Center, in the band's honor, was probably more of discomfort and pain.Many felt that he was deeply touched by all the performances in their honor, but when Heart got up to sing, "Stairway" Robert Plant appeared very uncomfortable -- almost horrified.Led Zepplin will go down in history as the most amazingly talented song writers and bands ever!They truly put out memorable music that changed an entire generation of musicians and song writers as they were the Pied Pipers who led many a young soul to the beautiful side of the occult and paganism.
Surprisingly, the comments do not address some metaphorical or metaphysical aspects, and do not consider important cultural movements that were contemporaneous during the time of the initial creation and release of Stairway to Heaven.
It is not coincidental listening to "Stairway" backwards that the name of "Satan" surfaces 6 times.
I don't believe it was either Robert Plant's or Page's intention to glorify Satan, but the dark side seems to always reveal itself in unexpected, shadowy ways.
I liked rock n roll as much as the next kid did, but their lyrics seemed overtly sexual in nature.
At 16 I was still a virgin and I found them to be just a little too in your face.

Coolio and his security guard were detained at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday (Sept. 17) after a loaded gun was found in one of their bags, TMZ reports. While Coolio’s security guard first claimed to be the owner of the bag, the “Gangsta’s Paradise” rapper allegedly later said it was his.
Police determined that the gun had been stolen, and both Coolio and his security guard were arrested, according to the report.
Coolio and his crew were departing from LAX when a book bag of theirs was flagged by the TSA. The firearm, as well items belonging to Coolio, were found in the bag during an investigation.
TMZ obtained video footage of the rapper handcuffed and put in the back of a police vehicle.
Billboard reached out to a rep for Coolio for comment. The rapper issued a video response Saturday night, which can be watched below.
“Everything’s fine. I’m fine,” he says in the clip. “As you can see, I’m a P.F. Chang’s having a meal and having a few drinks. I mean, I don’t know what’s gonna be the result of this in the future, but for now, I’m fine and I appreciate everyone’s concerns.

All my prerequisite courses are complete and I am working on a few details before PA school starts (like getting my immunizations up to date). Not only do I have 28 months of rigorous training ahead of me, I am also getting married and we just moved! Much going on as usual.
One of my goals before starting school again is to get back into shape. I have been sitting in a chair, studying for over a year now and I have lost my shape. All those miles of gravel have worn off. I’m pudgy and my muscular legs are a thing of the past. But I did get accepted into PA school and am on my way to be able to finally afford this cycling hobby of mine. 😉
We just moved and I wanted to ride in the mountains near the house on my fatbike, being that I don’t have a proper mountain bike. The last trip into the mountains of Red Rock Canyon was amazing but ripped the sidewalls out of both tires. Those tires had been through thousands of Midwestern gravel miles, including two LR100’s and a bikpacking trip on the Kokopelli Trail. Believe it or not, I had never changed the front tire! Fat tires are expensive! Those Husker Du’s served me well, from gravel to snow to singletrack.
The Las Vegas Wash and the Strip in the distance. Not a bad cycling view!
A few miles from the house I was in the above image – a river in the desert full of birds and bike trails! I have spied some off-road trails in the mountains and was hoping to ride them. The paved cycling paths are nice, but I was looking for some rough stuff.
Thanks to Bobby of District Bicycles in Stillwater, I was able to get the Beargrease back into commision with “new-to-me” tires. He sent some Bontrager Hodag’s my way, folded in a box with some old sealant stuck on them. I cleaned them off and set them up tubeless. They setup tubeless surprinsingly easily. They are very meaty compared to the Husker Du’s I ran on the bike since I’ve had her. I was about to test them out on some sandy, desert singletrack.
A river and wetlands area, full of birds! In the desert! Yes, I was surprised too.
From what I understand, this is a manmade wetlands that helps clean Vegas wastewater. It also provides a home for many birds and other species. When you flush a toilet on the strip is will end up down here after being treated. A nice surprise.
I took an off-road trail into the mountains. Soon I was wondering if it was legal to ride where I was. There were trails and gravel roads leading to the power lines out there. At one point I was riding through dried out, sandy creek beds. It was gorgeous. And it was made possible by fat tires. There’s no way skinny tires could have made it through the loose rocks and sometimes deep sand. I passed a sign that read, “no motorized vehicles,” so I think I was safe to continue riding.
I was off-road and having a blast! After a couple of dead-ends and hike-a-bike sections, I found my way deep into the mountains. Some of the route reminded me of a Meiser type of route (should I be riding here?)
Tough climbs and fun downhills were all around. There were some areas that would be a downhill cyclist’s dream but my mountain bike skills are rusty and about these Bontrager Hodags…
The views were beautiful. I was not in Kansas anymore to be sure.
Riding through dry creek beds
This slickrock climb led to a dead end that I hike-a-biked over to get further into the mountains. I was away from the city in about four miles from my house. This made me happy.
As you can see, I rode loose, rocky, sandy climbs. How did the Hodags do? To be honest, I missed my Husker Du’s. The Du’s were light, supple and responsive. They also gave me sufficient climbing power in snow and loose, rocky trails. They kissed bumpy sections and gave me the confidence to climb and descend when necessary. The Hodags on the other hand were the opposite of soft and supple. The were hard and seemed disagreeable to helping me stay on the bumpy trail. I lost traction many times and lost confidence on technical spots. I decided to let some air out and gain some traction and suppleness. It helped a bit. I did gain better traction, but not as much as the Hukser-Du’s. The good thing about the Hodags was that for a meaty tire, they rolled very well, but after letting out enough air to get better traction and suppleness, they gained rolling resistance, but that would be expected when riding fat, squishy tires. Overall I felt let down by the Hodags, but was happy to have tires on the bike! Being a student means having no extra money for bike parts. Thanks again to Bobby Wintle and District Bicycles in Stillwater for getting me rolling again!
Once again, I have found that there is some good riding to be had in the Las Vegas area. Just look at this gravel goodness!
I pedaled about 15.5 miles in 3.5 hours. It was quite a workout. My legs had enough and were cramping up as I rode pavement back to the house. It was a great way to start getting back into shape. The rough, sandy terrain played havoc with the bike. My rear derailleur was chattering and I lost my granny gear. As I attempted to make a big climb, the chain ended up getting caught between the spokes and rear cog. It took some time to get that fixed and moving again. Looks like I am going to have to give her a tuneup.
Bad News. My gall bladder is shot. It is full of stones and sludge and it causing me lots of pain. This will be a setback with things but I hope to be up and riding, along with everything else I need to get done, very soon. My body is becoming a scarred pincushion. Oh well, I guess I will take another licking and keep on ticking. I have a lot left to do!

Joseph Ratzinger, a theologian who was declared the representative on earth of an imaginary supernatural being by a scheming club of pedophilia enablers 6 years ago, has made it clear that for him, as an expert on matters of love and relationships, marriage has to remain between what he calls “a man and a woman”. Woefully unaware not only of the fact that a person’s sex is not a matter of being dealt a binary 0 or 1 by nature, but presumably of most matters of sexual attraction and practice, this man is also not content to keep his anachronistic views to himself, no, he likes to spew this garbage in messages he gets to deliver to the faithful by ways of his position of power and authority, “faithful” being a fancy term for a sammelsurium of people who are either undereducated, brainwashed, homophobic, opportunistic rightwing conservative, overly impressible, mentally unwell, or combinations of the above.
Here’s what Ratzinger had to say on the matter of gay marriage during his current visit to Germany, according to Reuters :
“We as Christians attach great importance to defending the integrity and the uniqueness of marriage between one man and one woman from any kind of misinterpretation,”
Sure, misinterpretations like, marriage might be a concept that could apply to any two people who love each other, since it would kinda make, like, sense that way ? I like the senile’s attitude of “what’s the world coming to”, tho :
“The world in which we live, in spite of its technical progress, does not seem to be getting any better,” he told the young people. “There is still war and terror, hunger and disease, bitter poverty and merciless oppression.”
Excuse me, but shouldn’t that be “in spite of our claim that a celestial Mel Gibson is watching over us, interacts with us, appoints saints who have a direct dial to him, and cares about us, loves us, and had his son killed for us” ?
Oh, and as to the claim that there is more terror, hunger and poverty now than there was in earlier times, Stephen Pinker would disagree.
Nothing annoys me more than the fact that a senile virgin in robes can claim heavenly authority to make life miserable for millions of loving couples around the globe. And those Catholics who let this man and his club of geront priests spew their message of hate and bigotry without opposing or questioning it, in my view are just as guilty as the man himself. After all, Ratzinger and his cronies are just pretending to act in the name of their imaginary friend.

I was searching for a tool to support my own reading of the Bible and was unable to find one that met my needs. So I built one, which is now available here. I hope that it will be similarly useful for you.
It started with two frustrations.
Firstly, finding the gospel parallels and other related verses when reading the Bible is laborious. The information about what these parallels are is easily available, but stopping your reading to look it up and then look up the original is time-consuming.
Secondly, navigating through ebook versions of the Bible is more difficult than one would suppose. Readers are often unsure of the chapter or even the book they are in.
These problems cannot be solved perfectly, but the Cross-Referenced Bible project aims to be a compromise solution that balances the competing interests of undistracted reading with additional information at your fingertips.
Hopefully, you will be able to dive in and have it do what you expect it to do. But let me spell out the features that I believe help with the two frustrations. I will describe the cross-referencing in more detail, how to contribute, and finally the navigation.
I have included over 1,200 cross-references including the original references found in the World English Bible. These come from a number of sources, and I expect it to grow in future editions.
There are three broad themes behind them:
- Reverse referencing the Hebrew scriptures back to the New Testament;
- Gospel parallels; and
- The Kings of Israel and Judah.
Firstly, I have reverse-referenced the original World English Bible references. Almost all of the World English Bible references link New Testament scripture verses back to the Hebrew scriptures they quote, but do not refer the Hebrew scriptures forward to the New Testament. This version includes these additional reverse-references.
This is useful in two different ways. It aids navigation (practically, you can click back to the verse you were reading) and it helps see how a given verse is used by different authors in the New Testament.
For example, suppose you are reading Mark 12:36 where Jesus quotes the Psalms:
‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet.” ’ [Ps 110:1]
You will see that this is a quote from Psalm 110:1 – a clickable link in the Cross-Referenced Bible. This reference was already in the World English Bible. If you click the link, you would find the following:
Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand,
Here you will see the reverse-references that I have added, and will note that it refers back not only to Mark 12:36 (and the parallels in Matthew and Luke) but also to Acts 2:35, and Hebrews 1:13. A simple click will take you to those verses and allow you to contrast how they are used and compare the contexts.
So this first set of cross-referencing allows the reader to go from the Hebrew scriptures back to the New Testament scriptures that refer back to them.
Secondly, I have added the gospel parallels directly as cross-references. I have loosely based this on the verses found at www.bible-researcher.com/parallels, which in turn are based on Kurt Aland’s Synopsis of the four gospels. I aim to have captured all of it and have added a number of other cross-references too.
My tendency is to err on the side of inclusion. So for example, I link the two Lazarus stories (Lk 16:19-31 and Jn 11:1-46) even though the former is a parable and the latter is not. The similarity of the initial and final verses, the name of the main character, and the broad theme is enough to link them for this purpose, even though Kurt Aland does not do so.
I also link the genealogies back to the Hebrew Scriptures, rather than just linking the Luke and Matthew versions as Aland does.
Kings of Israel and Judah
Jonathan Petersen created a chart linking the various Kings of Judah and Israel which can be found on www.biblegateway.com. This chart gives broad ranges, but based on this I linked the various Kings at the beginning of the stories about them.
Patricia Jelbert (my mother) is doing a PhD on Chronicles and was kind enough to share an early draft with me. This enabled me also to link various similar phrases, such as 1 Kings 11:41:
41Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon? [2Ch 9:29]
and 2 Chronicles 9:29:
29Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, aren’t they written in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat? [1Ki 11:41]
Contributing Cross-References and Footnotes
I originally was going to use GitHub for this, but have since changed my mind. Please reach out to me through the usual channels if you find any errors or want to suggest any additions. The Cross References and Footnotes can be viewed on this Google Spreadsheet.
There are three navigation pages or tables of content:
- Just the books of the Bible in canonical order.
- The chapters of the Bible in canonical order.
- The chapters of the Bible in alphabetical order.
The second of these forms a hub for navigation. Every book title and every chapter number throughout the Bible is a link back to this second navigation page.
Another feature is that there are navigation links at the top of every book. These links will take you to the previous book, the next book, and the alphabetically arranged third navigation page.
A final navigation feature is that every chapter number apart from the first has the abbreviation of the book included so that it is easy to determine which book you are reading. For example, Genesis 2:1 looks like this:
The link will take you to the second navigation page.
I must also offer thanks to the folks who made the World English Bible, a public domain, modern English version of the King James. Without a good and open source of the Bible, this project would be nearly impossible. I have a small rant about this in the introduction to my other book Evidence Considered. I have not changed any of the words of the Bible from the WEB.
I sincerely hope that this will be a tool that allows you to delve deeper and read more effectively as you study the Bible. I have a few beta readers testing out the Kindle version. If you are interested to do that too, please let me know.

Posted by Richard Harland Smith on October 10, 2014
A number of years ago, for reasons that seem a bit hazy to me now, I began a pseudonymous film blog called Arbogast on Film. (I’m often asked why I chose the name Arbogast, an obvious allusion to Alfred Hitchcock’s PSYCHO. I have always just loved that name and back in the 80s I thought of throwing down a ‘zine with that name as a sort of catchall for the obscure and weird. Never got around to doing that and yet the name popped back into my mind when I was dicking around on Blogger and thinking to myself “I don’t have a personal blog, but if I were to have one it might look something like this…”) I already had the Movie Morlocks working for me and back then I was blogging twice a week rather than once, so it’s not as though I was itching for more work. No, as I recall, I wanted to do some writing apart from my established community, well away from the blognoscenti, where I could please myself and throw down some chancy stuff. I didn’t expect anyone to follow me and yet the site turned out to be popular. I kept it going for four or five years before pulling the plug. I was just too busy and couldn’t really afford to indulge myself in a spate of free writing… especially not when I had already dedicated several Octobers to a series I called “31 Screams.” I was bored with all the horror blogs that pulled out the same old titles year after year for the requisite Halloween Top Ten lists and so I thought it might be unusual and fun to review, not movies themselves, but some of the greatest screams in genre history. And so I did that, 31 of them every October, year after year, with the final tally being somewhere in the low triple digits. I think some of that work is among my best and it always kind of killed me that, as I’d sworn myself to pseudonymity, no one would ever know it was my hand moving the pen. So now, with your indulgence, I offer a look back at some of the great screams of all time, along with my eggheaded observations, inane asides and occasional bad language…
1. Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, PSYCHO (1960)
Some day someone will write a book- and maybe it’ll be me – placing Marion Crane up there with Jay Gatsby and Tom Joad and Johnny Tremain in the pantheon of great American characters. She’s not only one of us, she’s the missing link between us and Norman Bates. She shows us how you get from here to there. Sadly, tragically, operatically, she dies at the moment she has decided to turn back, to embrace light, to do the right thing. I’ve always imagined, as I’ve rerun the shower scene in my head (and I do that a lot), that once Marion gets over the shock of being ambushed at her most vulnerable (by an attacker she can barely see through the glare of the bathroom light and the veil of shower spray) her reactions are less about terror than about panic and frustration at the bad timing.
2. Andrea Rau as Ilona Harczy, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS (1971)
So bewitching are the accumulation of events, so unexpected their fulfillment, and so sumptuous the mise-en-scène that the quotes from other films don’t detract, don’t knock you out of the picture. Instead they feed the story, as ancient folklore continues to inform our collective consciousness – whether we are aware of its presence or not – and is manifested in our fears and nightmares, both dreaming and cinematic.
3. Carol Ohmart as Anabelle Loren, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959)
Annabelle’s scream is an instant classic, orgiastic and operatic, the perfect banshee ululation for this modern woman in Gothic dress who combines a contemporary hunger for freedom with an atavistic, feral cunning. She is the polar opposite of Carolyn Craig’s sweet but sexless office drone, whose cuntless, Aqua Netted sterility will become the norm for American women through the 1960s, begetting the horror genre an assembly line of pudding headed mundanes ripe for the slashing – the kind of pep pill popping dress mannequins that Fuad Ramses chopped up for chum in BLOOD FEAST (1963). Annabelle Loren deserved to win, because she wanted it more.
4. Arthur Storch as The Guy Who Gets His Nuts Crushed by Pazuzu, THE EXORCIST (1973)
Truth be told, the carpet drop is thematically consistent with the fates of other characters in THE EXORCIST, who are all brought down… Burke Dennings and Damien Karras propelled out of out Regan’s bedroom window, Lancaster Merrin sent to the floor with a fatal heart attack, Chris MacNeil with her face shoved down there… making all of Pazuzu’s victims fallen ones. So this effect is somewhat justified. But still, the moment leaves you thinking about this guy when your mind should really be on the poor kid with the Devil inside her. Watching him scream out, I can’t help but flash forward… every time this guy whips it out until the day they read the kaddish over his cold clay he’s going to think of Regan MacNeil.
5. Sandy Descher as the Ellinson Girl, THEM! (1954)
The girl’s scream is primal, as animalistic as the food chain mishap her innocent eyes have branded upon her young brain.
6. Brenda Bruce as Prostitute as Dora, PEEPING TOM (1960)
… these first frames of PEEPING TOM destabilized their intended audience with the seediness of the setting, with a prostitute depicted in the plying of her trade (the camera even rudely frames her ass, packed into a tight red skirt), with the woman undressing on camera and with her murder onscreen; this just wasn’t done. Michael Powell was pilloried by the critics, whose coverage of the film read like a complaint list of medical symptoms: nausea, revulsion, disgust. In their wounded response, these arbiters of the public taste were letting Michael Powell know that he had crossed a line.
7. Candice Hilligoss as Mary Henry, CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962)
A lot of horror movies are a journey-to-self, with the protagonist learning by the final fade out something essential about him or herself. Mary learns a hard lesson – that she never had a chance, that she was screwed from the get-go. I’ve spent a lot of time pondering this final scream from Mary. I don’t think she’s frightened. I think she’s simply fed up with the world and the chump’s game that is life and she can’t contain her primal scream any longer.
8. Haley Hudson as Stevie, THE PACT (2012)
Hudson’s character describes in what amounts to less than ten minutes of screen time a highly effective arc, from barely cognizant interested party to scene-driving savant to pathetic victim of occult powers, wrung out like a dish towel from her experiences and disinclined to continue. She gives the film just the energy spike it needs at the midway point and then fades back into the woodwork. We move on with the plot but we never forget her, sustained in our catechism that Hell really is other people.
9. Vincent Price as Dr. Warren Chapin, THE TINGLER (1959)
This sexual subtext makes THE TINGLER more than just a gimmicky hoot ‘n’ holler. Produced in the interval between the buttoned-up Eisenhower era and the branding of Nixon’s “silent majority,” the film argues passionately for hysteria, for catharsis and release, putting forward the notion that not only do we all go a little mad sometimes but that we had damn well better.
10. Richard Dysart as Doc Copper, THE THING (1982)
When you notice an actor’s dental work, they must really be screaming up a storm.
11. Marilyn Burns as Sally Hardesty, THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974)
Her terror reduces her to something like a one-celled organism. She is no longer fully human. She is 95% scream.
12. Beverly Garland as Nadine Storey, NOT OF THIS EARTH (1957)
One of the reasons Beverly Garland gives such good scream… is that she projects such an air of confidence, of resourcefulness and courage in extremis that such a reaction is literally her last resort, her mental fail safe. She’d rather run or fight than scream but, denied those avenues, she does what she can.
13. Ellen Sandweiss as Cheryl, THE EVIL DEAD (1981)
Seeing the film for the first time many years ago, I gravitated toward Sandweiss, whose Semetic good looks ran toward my aesthetic preference for exaggerated features — long noses, wide mouths, prominent teeth. She is the one I would have gone for, had I been a character in THE EVIL DEAD, and her suffering remains personal to me, as her gradual corruption and consumption by the forces of ancient evil breaks the heart I would have offered her. In this scene, Sandweiss is resisting that corruption. She’s fighting a losing battle, of course, but nonetheless opposing that influence with all she has. In some ways, it’s the ultimate horror scene, it is primal, and her screams are more than just a reaction of terror — they represent her animus, her soul, going on the defensive, fighting back. Clearly, she is not going gentle into that bad night.
14. Lone Fleming as Betty Turner, TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD (1971)
Among horror movie screams, this one’s a beaut. A handsome more than pretty actress in the Maureen O’Hara mode, Lone Fleming was never all that memorable in subsequent roles (as another character in this film’s immediate sequel or in de Ossorio’s EXORCIST clone DEMON WITCH CHILD) but here she is unforgettable as her scream of abject, unendurable horror carries her off as one swept away by a flash flood. It is a perfect illustration of someone who has met her breaking point and has nowhere left to go. It’s almost as if Betty screams to clear a mental logjam that just won’t budge – never has a scream seemed to me to require so much conscious effort.
15. Joanne Woodward as Carol Cutrere, THE FUGITIVE KIND (1960).
She has seen a literal vision of Hell but given that Carol came in crazy she can only leave closer to sane than she has been in a long, long time… I don’t suggest that’s a good feeling.
16. Eva Axén as Pat Hingle, SUSPIRIA (1977)
Sometimes in western novels and films, a woman who has been raped will be described as having been “used.” One senses in this eye-popping opening to SUSPIRIA that we are watching Pat Hingle used up, her mind violated, her soul raked, her body pulped for the satisfaction of some demonic entity we can scarcely understand.
17. Dawn Richard as Theresa, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF (1957)
I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF flipped the script for shapeshifter stalkery, having pretty high school gymnast Theresa (Dawn Richard, Playboy Playmate of the Month in May 1957) caught off guard on the parallel bars. As troubled youth turned untroubled beast man Tony Rivers (Michael Landon) advances, Theresa finds herself at a 180 degree disadvantage. She screams, of course. I mean, who wouldn’t? Perhaps s all the blood rushing to her head by dint of gravity gives Theresa an intelligence boost, for she manages to get herself off the bars and make a right side run for it…… but you know high school gymnasiums and locked doors. Theresa doesn’t get very far. And for what it’s worth, if she were able to open that door, she probably would have found a closet full of dodgeballs.
18. Catriona MacColl as Mary Woodhouse, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD (1980)
Even though we’ve been in the coffin with Mary, the sight of her peeking palefaced out of the hole gouged in its lid still gives me the creeps. Her eerie pallor, the moist, wound-like redness of her open mouth, and the thought that coffins everywhere might be reverberating with the screaming of their inhabitants is quite literally the stuff of nightmares.
19. Valerie Hobson as Lisa Glendon, WEREWOLF OF LONDON (1935)
One of the things I find most attractive about British actress Valerie Hobson (THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, WEREWOLF OF LONDON) is that her prettiness borders on the dowdy, on the matronly. There’s a character actress beneath that veneer of alabaster loveliness and this latent tendency is nowhere more apparent (if only to me) than in the scene towards the end of WEREWOLF in which she is confronted by her shapeshifting husband (Henry Hull). Hobson’s reaction might even pass for a sneeze at first, as her mouth reacts faster than her eyes but eventually (we’re talking nanoseconds here) her whole face catches on to the horror of the situation and she lets rip with a remarkably horsey scream. Seriously, it’s the Secretariat of Screams. I want to give her an apple or a sugar cube or put a bit in her mouth or something.
20. Marilyn Eastman as Helen Cooper, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968)
Helen Cooper’s death scene is, for me, the tent pole of horror in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, worse than Judy and Tom being flame-roasted and eaten by ghouls, worse than Barbra being taken by her own brother, worse than Ben’s undeserved headshot… and the credit goes primarily to Marilyn Eastman, who is spot on in her lethal disbelief, sympathetic in her plight and unforgettable in the horrific particulars of her demise. That we don’t re actually hear Eastman providing her own screaming underscores the subtext of Helen Cooper as a women of her repressive times, in full possession of her own ideas and sensations but lacking the license to voice them.
21. Patricia Blair as Helene Delambre, THE FLY (1958)
THE FLY‘s classic POV shot is meant to represent Hedison’s perspective but it really reflects more tellingly Blair’s reaction, how, in her horror, she explodes, fragments, goes cellular. She stops being human, just like her husband. Well, at least he’s still half human… but she is all scream.
22. Sandra Shaw as Hotel Woman Dropped by Kong, KING KONG (1933)
If I were to tell you that one of my favorite cine-screamers is in the original KING KONG (1933) you’d go, “Fay Wray, oh yeah,” and I’d give you a moment to savor your own memories — and I certainly wouldn’t disagree with you, as Fay may be the Queen of them all — but I’m talking about Sandra Shaw. Shaw, you might remember, plays the sleeping New Yorker whom Kong grabs from her bed as he tears across town looking for Ann Darrow… A lot of people laugh at this scene but it really bothers me. For one thing, I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time imagining a backstory for this non-character, based on what little information there is. She’s sleeping alone – is she a lesbian? A spinster? A widow? Did her husband go to see the Kong show and she, disgusted by the media hype and/or cruelty to animals angle, elect to stay at home and go to bed early? Well anyway, it’s all academic as Kong reaches into her bedroom window and plucks her from sleep, only to give her the most cursory inspection (as she screams pitiably) and then discard her. It’s awful! I hate this scene. Shaw’s horrified reaction to this unimaginable, incomprehensible tragedy is well played and honestly rendered without an ounce of camp but what’s haunting to me is the way her scream fades as she falls…
23. Sara Paxton as Claire, THE INNKEEPERS (2011)
THE INNKEEPERS progresses and complicates on the path to its Big Finish but it never really gets any better than this. The characters deserved a story on par with their personalities but Sara Paxton, whose weeny Ipswitch mouth blossoms nicely into a proper bloom of horror when she screams, is certainly welcome here.
24. Janet Munro, THE TROLLENBERG TERROR (aka THE CRAWLING EYE, 1958)
Caught somewhere between the fight or flight response to fear, her amygdala glowing like a bedside alarm clock, Anne bunches up under her bedclothes. She’s got nowhere to go and no defense against this man who quite clearly means her the most extreme harm. She screams, leaving herself wide open. But that’s Anne Pilgrim for you – wide open, pure of heart, vulnerable.
25. Sam Lerner, voice of Chowder, MONSTER HOUSE (2006)
Any MonsterKid worth his salt, fat or thin, will see himself in Chowder. A trick-or-treat loving chubber with a penchant for the macabre and the steely reserve of a 4 year old girl, he’s no match for the Monster House, in rapacity or relentlessness.Chowder’s scream of fear will resonate with anyone who ever braved as a curious child an empty house, a length of sewer drain, a patch of eldritch woodland, a cave, a dark lake, a cobweb-laced attic, a cellar with a dirt floor.
26. Jocelyn Jones as Molly, TOURIST TRAP (1979)
This scene doesn’t represent Jones’ first crack-up in the narrative but the last. Quick to scream, she does so immediately but the result is far from merely ornamental. There’s something fragile about the actress, or at least the character she plays in TOURIST TRAP, as if she has a few less layers of skin than the rest of us. Every time she screams, it’s as if you can see her psychological seams ripping and the very fabric of her personality, her individuality, her sanity coming undone like taffeta in a tsunami. The experience of watching her psychological degradation is not dissimilar to the Grand Guignol vibe inherent in most pornography… the physical breaking down of a woman via an assault of serial slamming.
27. Yuko Takeuchi as Tomoko, RING (2006)
We don’t know whether Tomoko made a sound in her death throes and that’s part of what troubles us about it, what haunts us, and what makes RING so effective all these years later. It leaves us alone in the dark with terrible questions and the horrible weight of wondering.
28. Jitsuko Yoshimora as Kichi’s Wife, ONIBABA (1964)
Take 103 minutes out of your life and watch ONIBABA this Halloween. If you aren’t charmed and spooked by its utter simplicity – the grass, the wind, and human fragility in all its unflattering shades – then we have nothing further to discuss, you and I.
29. David Hedison as … THE FLY (1958)
Although Bey Nye’s makeup suggests dessication and age, there’s an innocence about the flyman, a seemingly complete inability to understand why this is happening, that makes him seem like a child. Your heart breaks, it positively breaks at the uncomprehending terror of this poor creature, the most helpless being in all Creation. Empathy sits cheek by jowel with revulsion as you watch this death occur and hear this thing’s dying entreaties for someone to save it, to be its hero, to spare the only life it has.
30. Charles Napier as Lt. Bill Boyle, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)
Napier has one of the most impressive screams in horror movie history. You can almost hear the testosterone pooling in the back of his throat as he sounds out. This guy is an alpha dog. His piss could take the paint off a brick wall. And he wants Lector to know that as he dies. It may seem a minor point in the grand scheme of things but in the last seconds of his life that’s the only ace Lt. Bill Boyle has to play.
31. Elsa Lanchester as The Bride, THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
Every time I watch BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN I’m struck with how short a time she has on Earth – is it even three minutes? I’m acutely sensitive to time issues, like in a Dracula movie where the Count is revived, rises from his coffin, chases a bunch of people, tries to make some girl his bride, and then gets staked or drowned or tangled up in prickers after only being back on the planet for a day and a half. What a waste, I always think. It’s Count Dracula – can a brutha get a week? Same with the Bride of Frankenstein. Would a life of ten whole minutes have been too much to ask?
