It was the Barons’ fourth straight win after two victories at Rochester. The Barons have the best record in the AHL at 27-11-2-3 and lead in standing points with 59.
After a scoreless first period, Cornet opened the scoring at the 11:10 mark of the second with his 19th goal of the year.
Lake Erie tied it at 1-1 on a power play-goal at 14:42 in the second.
The eventual game-winner from Cornet came at 8:24 in the third on a major power play. Cornet put home his 20th of the season when he batted the puck out of the air.
Keller added an empty-net goal with 7.2 seconds left. Oklahoma City out-shot Lake Erie 26-22, including 14-5 in the third.
The Barons return home to face Houston on Friday and Texas on Saturday at the Cox Center. Faceoff for both games is 7 p.m.

Unlike our cars, it may have a true limited slip differential to help put down the power, and possibly a launch control of some sorts which makes a huge difference? Who knows.
My biggest concern with that 0-60 time is the weight of the 335i.

Home Tags Psychopaths
Trying to diagnose the ‘Joker’ shows what the film gets wrong about mental illness, according to a psychopath expert
He said the Joker doesn't fall into the criteria for diagnoses like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Even labeling him a psychopath is reductive.
Facing dark thoughts like murder or rape fantasies could help us sympathise with ‘evil,’ according to a criminal psychologist
According to criminal psychologist Julia Shaw, the word 'evil' is defunct, and someone's humanity is a lot more nuanced than the worst decision they ever made.
A psychopath's pupils don't dilate what they see something scary, as they don't tend to feel threatened when the rest of us do.
Sociopaths and psychopaths have many similarities, such as a lack of compassion and empathy. But there is one characteristic that separates them.
There are several types of people you should avoid getting into a romantic relationship with. This is because they are highly draining and a relationship with them is likely to end up being toxic and damaging, so look out for any red flags early on.
It can feel like all narcissists are cut from the same cloth, because they act in such similar patterns. Here are some of the most common things you'll hear them utter, and in what stages of a relationship to expect them.
A study found that psychopathic traits such as recklessness, a lack of empathy, and manipulation may only be tolerable by other people with dark personalities.
Psychopaths may not be as useful in leadership as you think — and women are often punished for dark traits while men are rewarded
According to a new study, having psychopathic traits may not be as much of an advantage in leadership as we've come to believe. Also, men seem to succeed when showing these traits while women are more likely to be discouraged.
People who score highly for psychopathy are less likely to catch people's yawns. Contagious yawning has been linked to empathy — something which psychopaths tend to lack.
Having one dark personality trait means you're more likely to have another. But having a few doesn't mean you're necessarily a psychopath, narcissist, or sociopath. You may just have some tendencies.

No matter how old people grow, flying RC helicopters have been amusing activity for all. There is huge range of available Remote Radio Control Helicopters in the market, from simple flying machines to very complex helicopters requiring you to assemble them completely from scratch. Apartment from that, this hobby can also offer you many different ranges of levels they are designed for. If you are just planning a little fun for your family using that Remote Controlled flying machine, or you may be trying to become the greatest remote controller around in the field. Before purchasing your first RC helicopter, you must look upon the following points carefully:
- For How Long Are You Going to Fly It?
There is a great range of available styles and quality when it comes to choosing RC helicopter. Of course, they vary greatly in price as well. Some of them are RTF (ready to fly) and assembled already. These are the best option for beginners, since they are easy to setup. While others are ARF (Almost ready to fly) is another available type. They are not completely assembled and required some assembling before getting up to flying activity. They are good for intermediate users since they require some setup before flying. Then, for expert users, there are kits that need complete assembly before flying. They feature separately the engine and transmitter.
- Electrical or Gas-powered?
Both of these power sources have their own pros and drawbacks. It must be remembered that electrical powered RC helicopters are much cheaper than gas powered, and are easier to operate. They are most suited for beginners. Apart from price, ease of use and level of expertise, electrical powered helicopters are much more silent than gas powered. Also, they are flexible to use and can adapt to any environment. Also, electric powered RC helicopters don’t use gas that produces fumes and bad smell, and instead uses electrical batteries, which don’t have these drawbacks.
Even though the gas powered RC helicopters have so many hassles associated with them when compared to inexpensive electrical powered ones, but they are geared more towards expert users. They are also much more realistic towards actual helicopters. Pilot also gets more chance to interact closely with his RC helicopter. Gas powered helicopters have one more advantage. That is they can be easily refilled with more gas once it exhausts, while electrical powered ones require you to either completely replace batteries which is very costly or wait for the electrical batteries to recharge.
- Place of Flight
There are so many available sizes when it comes to RC helicopters. For indoor fun or places where there is very little space, then it’s the best to have 4CH Remote Control Mini Helicopters which are small enough to fit into anyone’s hand and are designed for flying indoors. Electric powered helicopters are usually good for large and open places which are enclosed. This is due to the fact that unlike gas powered ones, they don’t produce toxic fumes while operation.
For flying helicopter outside, you must take wind speed into serious consideration. Because in larger wind speeds, it must not be wise idea to fly lighter and smaller RC helicopters and heavier and larger RC helicopter would be better idea. If you are planning to purchase RC helicopter for flying in place with high wind speeds often, then stick with larger RC helicopter. Helicopters having FP (fixed pitch) blades are most suited for beginners, for the reason that they are easier to repair and cheaper in first place. Collective pitch or also know as CP blades are more aimed towards expert users, but they offer better control in windy situations.
- What is your Level of Expertise?
Assuming that you are complete beginner to flying, then it is recommended to use flight simulator software before actually purchasing RC helicopter. You may also hire flight instructor if you are very passionate about your hobby. Beginners should stick with cheaper RC helicopters, because they can be easily maintained and crashes during flights are inevitable as long as you are in learning phase.

Our "Rider Review" article series features the honest reviews from verified purchasers of Worldwide Cyclery. They contain the photos, thoughts, feedback & overall review you are looking for.
RaceFace makes a ton of high quality carbon components, and their handlebars are some of the best in the biz. Their NEXT Bar offers strength, stiffness, and performance all in a lightweight package. Our friend Richard recently put some on his Evil and loves the upgrade. Check it out!
I’ve been riding for many years, building my own bikes up from parts for most of those, and I have a pretty good idea of things I like and things I don’t, although those ideas evolve over time. For example, if you jumped back in time 20 years and looked at my handlebar, it would be aluminum, flat, with about 5 degrees of sweep and freakishly narrow. It would be clamped in a stem half as long as it was wide, attached to a fork that was more or less straight up and down. Hey, we are making progress here, and despite weight gains, I can seriously ride a lot more trails on something with 150mm of travel or more than I could on some whippet-thin hard tail years ago. Where was I…oh, right, handlebars.
So, my most recent bike, an Evil Insurgent, is a new frontier for me; the whole thing is made of carbon fiber. Like most things carbon fiber, this is made overseas (the only major exception I am aware of is ENVE composites—carbon layup is complex, and because of the noxious components, pretty heavily regulated by the EPA, making domestic manufacture tedious and expensive). Despite my normal penchant for trying to buy as much American made stuff as I can, I thought I would continue the carbon theme and keep the crank and bar of the same material. I did some research, and wasn’t quite ready to embrace the more aggressive 35mm rise, so I landed on the NEXT. It’s wide, at 760mm, although there are several out there that reach 800mm or more now, with a comfortable but not overly aggressive rise and sweep. It’s black, which matches everything (I’m old enough to remember the unfortunate infestation of purple anodized parts, so I have been admittedly reluctant to embrace the neon color-ways that have been available of late), and it’s from RaceFace, which typically represents some solid engineering. The thicker center diameter should increase strength and stiffness without undue effect on weight (thinner walls) if I remember physics at all. Of note, I tried a couple friends’ bars out and found the 800mm high rise to be way huge! I felt like I was constantly going to hook trees next to the trail with those things, and, indeed, actually ejected on one test ride after catching a 4 inch sapling with one. My old bar was cut to about 740mm, and this (760mm) seems like the Goldilocks length.
...the carbon wins by a good margin—less hand numbness and paresthesia after extended rides compared to the Fubar.
So, I ordered it, and it arrived and looked great, all smooth and matte black. I installed it in a Race Face Aeffect stem (pretty nice for their entry level stuff), torqued it to spec, clamped on some brakes, shifters, grips, etc., and took it for a ride. I think the best complement I could give it is, I just don’t notice it. It’s smooth, damps vibration substantially, fit me nicely without trimming (although it’s got hash-marks for hacking off a bit if you feel the compulsion), and looks great on the bike, to boot. I rode my older bike with an aluminum Chromag Fubar to compare the two over a couple rides, and found that the carbon bar often feels a little numb, but it takes the edge off of long rides, while the aluminum bar really feeds you the trail textures but tends to be a bit fatiguing over the same distance. It seems like an even trade, but at my age (48) the carbon wins by a good margin—less hand numbness and paresthesia after extended rides compared to the Fubar. Admittedly, Fubar is an infinitely better name than NEXT, but I didn’t score this thing for the marketing skill that went into it. I also think this bar is genuinely stiffer than the thinner aluminum Fubar, but that may be a composite (har har) of the carbon bike, stiffer fork (Lyrik), I9 wheels, and the NEXT bar. Anyway, it was a good deal and I’m happy with it. I haven’t hit any trees yet in about 20 rides, so I might have been right about the width.
How can I sum up this awesome handlebar? It's lightweight, looks awesome, holds the controls, steers, impresses chicks. Boss!

text: Deus Ex HR is a more than worthy continuation (or rather prequel) to one of the greatest RPG series ever released ! The Graphics are well crafted, with much considerations put into them to give both a sense of continuity with regard to the two older games in the series, and yet also put some new ideas and perspectives into the Deus Ex experience. Gameplay IS rather difficult/challenging (much in the tradition of the two earlier games), but also very compelling and generally well-executed. Gameplay details like inventory management, upgrading your augmentations and the hacking mini-game, all works very well. The levels and the game World itself is also well made and some parts of it stand out, almost as pieces of game-art. The story is great and with a highly emotional ending. The musical scores are fantastic ! All in all : Great ! There are also some points of criticism however. The characters, including facial animations and the voice-acting, could have been better. They are not bad, but not superb either, and so with some aspects of the endings and some of the details of the story. While each of the four endings is great, with the protagonist Adam Jensen, delivering a short monologue to explains his motives for the chosen ending, the way to get to said ending is disappointing. In the two earlier games, you had to "fight" or actively work towards your preferred ending, but in DE HR it boils down to a choice between pushing different buttons. So the game, is definitely Great, but unfortunately it also feels "rushed" or "unfinished" in certain respects. But it is a great experience for anyone who likes Sci-fi themed RPG !

IRELAND is to grant legal recognition, right to remain and a path to citizenship for nearly 20,000 ‘undocumented’ from abroad who are resident here.
Almost all are already in employment, serving the State and economy — with the Government anxious not to be accused of hypocrisy as it mounts a campaign for favourable treatment of the Irish undocumented in the United States.
“I firmly believe that we in Ireland must show the same generosity towards undocumented migrants living in our country as we ask other countries, particularly the United States, to show Irish people,” said Justice Minister Helen McEntee in announcing new moves today.
“There are thousands of people across the country who have created a life here but unfortunately still live in the legal shadows.
“They are active members of our communities: contributing to our society, enriching our culture and working in our economy.”
She published draft proposals that will grant formal status to the thousands of undocumented here in a new scheme — which she hopes to have in place by the end of the year.
The newly-recognised will:
The key planks of the scheme fully meet the requests of many campaigners — and will also in time guard against the exploitation of these workers, who are believed to number 17,000.
Recent research from Migrants Right Council of Ireland (MRCI) and Justice for the Undocumented (JFU) shows that over three-quarters of undocumented migrants surveyed have been living in Ireland for five years or more.
The same detailed survey and analysis reveals that 93 per cent are in employment.
Yet more than a quarter of these workers are receiving less than the minimum wage for their work and almost half are working beyond 40 hour weeks.
Joe O’Brien, Green Party TD and Minister of State, said:
“I’ve worked on the issues of undocumented people in Ireland for many years, initially when I worked in the NGO sector, so I am very happy that we are making progress in developing a regularisation scheme.
“These are people whose home is Ireland, who work in Ireland and who are raising families in Ireland. Crucially too so many have contributed as frontline and essential workers in our battle against Covid.
“The least we can do is to give them official status in the country.”
It is important that this scheme is broad, easy to understand and fair so that we don’t have very significant groups of people living in the shadows in Ireland, he added.
“By creating a broad and accessible pathway to status we will send a message to these 17,000 people that they are welcome here, that they are an important part of Irish society. Through facilitating a pathway to status we also reduce the opportunity for exploitation in employment and encourage migrants and their families to engage fully and freely with public services, and to feel safe and secure in their communities.”
Roderic O’Gorman, Minister for Children and Integration and Youth welcomed Minister McEntee’s move.
“I’m delighted to see progress being made on a scheme to regularise undocumented migrants. People who have built their lives here and enriched our communities shouldn’t have to live in fear, and should have the opportunity to play a full and active part in Irish life.
“Through the development of this scheme, the ending of Direct Provision, and the increased support for unaccompanied child refugees, this Government is taking a clear, compassionate approach to integration.”

It began one day when Harold and Kiki Rabinowitz, founders went out looking for car parts in an auto junk yard. On the ground piled high was a stack of discarded phone wire that happened to catch their eye, as well as their imagination. Colorful and pliable, they realized it would make a wonderful material for making art.
These two young artists, graduates from both Yale and Cooper Union, often kept an eye out for creative and inexpensive art supplies that they could use in children’s art classes. They had five kids of their own at that time and taught classes every weekend in their own home, a large, rambling stone house they built themselves in rural Bethany, Connecticut.
The wire they took turned out to be very popular for both children and adults as well. It was just plain fun to play with and create figures, objects and things. The Rabinowitz’ who were looking for a way to expand their income thought they could market the wire as an art material… and thus Twisteez Wire was born.
1960 Twisteez logo Harold and Kiki originally bought wire seconds from industrial suppliers, but as the demand for their wire grew they eventually had Twisteez Wire manufactured to be consistent in color and quality.They began promoting their Twisteez at conventions for art teachers, and vendors who were interested in their wire and included Twisteez wire in their catalogues.
Twisteezwire has continued to be a successful art supply in school catalogues and for art suppliers for over 50 years. Harold and Kiki also invented and patented a line of batik and wax melting encaustic tools. See Products.
Harold and Kiki named their company Rabinowitz Design Workshop and worked out of their home in in Bethany, CT. Their six children all helped out in the business.

By Pamela Singleton, Sonitrol Pacific Director of Communications
Posted July 22, 2009
Leslie Malik, Sonitrol Pacific Portland Customer Service Representative, gave me a crime alert regarding the burglary of a Medford bank over the weekend. The incident highlights roof hatches as a point of weakness in most businesses’ security and I thought it important to bring this to the attention of non-Sonitrol Pacific clients.
According to the 3VR Crime Dex alert:
On 7/18/09 at approximately 1200 hours, Medford Police were dispatched to a motion alarm in the vault at Chase Bank on Stewart Avenue. An officer responded and noted no suspicious circumstances, vehicles or anyone inside the bank and cleared from the call.
On 7/20/09, employees arriving for work found the bank vault had been burglarized and notified Medford Police Department. Officers responded, along with local FBI Agents to conduct an investigation.
The bank was breached from a roof access that had been previously tampered with. The hatch is bolted from the inside and should only be accessible from the inside. However, at some point, someone drilled holes through the hatch to access the bolts holding the inside lock. The holes were concealed with a metal plate cover. The bolts were removed, allowing the lock to be breached. From there, the suspects climbed down the roof access ladder, accessed the HVAC system and made entry into the vault by drilling a hole through the concrete.
“This is an interesting article. We always install a contact switch on roof hatches for this very reason! So many holes with their security provider: no contact on the roof hatch; no verified alarm; officer assuming false alarm because no other information besides “motion detector”. Sonitrol Pacific would have detected the roof hatch entry, verified the alarm and instructed police on the point of entry, number of individuals, etc for the best opportunity to apprehend the suspects. Why would anyone want it any other way??”

Donating money is a very personal decision. There is no right or wrong amount. Anything more than 0% is good in my eyes. According to several of the largest charitable foundations, the average percentage a person donates of his or her adjusted gross income is 3 to 5%. Studies also discuss how Republicans donate more on an absolute basis, and the poor donate more on a percentage basis as well.
Doing your own taxes helps you think more about such topics as giving. You start wondering whether you’ve given enough or too much. You look for answers to figure out what is the norm and proceed to adjust within the band. Furthermore, you input different charitable scenarios to see how your tax bill changes. It’s all very educational and thought provoking.
DECIDING HOW MUCH TO GIVE
Government Leaders: Vice President Joe Biden donated $4,820 to charity, or 1.44% of his $333,182 salary in 2009. Meanwhile, Obama donated about $329,000 to 40 different charities, or roughly 6% of his $5.5 million 2009 income (largely from books and royalties). Obama also donated $1.4 million of his Nobel Peace Prize proceeds to 10 different charities as a straight pass through. In other words, Obama donated $1.723 million out of a potential $6.9 million in income, or roughly 25%.
Religion: The Bible refers to Jacob promising to give a 10th of what he receives back to God. “And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the a tenth unto thee.” Buddhism discusses alms giving to monks and nuns as a way to spiritually connect, show humility, and support the community.
The Super Rich: Warren Buffet pledged 85% of his entire US$45+ billion fortune to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. His rational is to give it away to people who will live longer than him, and who know how to give better. In Warren’s case, he is giving away almost his entire net worth, which still leaves billions more to be passed down to others in his immediate circle.
The Poor: Perhaps they don’t pay much in taxes, but the poor do contribute a healthy amount to charity. The 2000 Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey shows that households with incomes below $20,000 gave 4.6% to charity, higher than any other income group. Households earning between $50,000 and $100,000 donated 2.5 percent or less. Only above income levels of $100,000 does the percentage rise again.
THE “STUCK IN THE MIDDLE” PROBLEM
I sincerely wish I was as wealthy as Warren to be able to donate it all away. Unfortunately, but don’t cry for me, I’m stuck in the middle where I make enough to live a comfortable life, but not enough to not feel the sting of taxes taking away 45% of my highest marginal income. Hence, until I can join the 45% of Americans who pay no tax, or pay a more reasonable 15-25% of my last marginal income in taxes, I won’t be giving away all my money just yet.
Many people are stuck in the middle like myself. We are climbing the marginal income tax curve, feeling good about our progress, but also feeling bad that the harder we work, the more we pay to the point where we think about not working so hard any more. The chart below shows the slight dip in percentage of giving when one hits the $75,000 to $100,000 income level. We have bills to pay, mouths to feed, debt to repay, roofs to repair, and retirements to save for. It’s very hard to give a lot under the circumstances.
THE GIVE NOTHING IDEOLOGY
One of the most interesting viewpoints I’ve read is how none of us should donate any money to charity. The premise being that since we are moving progressively towards Socialism in America, with our income redistribution through a progressive tax system, the omnipotent government is responsible for supporting charitable organizations and eradicating poverty. The more I think about this viewpoint, the more I think it makes some sense given America has embraced big government to solve our problems (social security, health care, generous unemployment benefits, and so forth).
If you go visit Singapore, for example, you won’t see poverty on the streets. That’s because their benign dictator system has ensured that all people live a reasonably comfortable life with government housing projects, central provident fund (social security), solid infrastructure, and flat tax system. The government is doing its job in ensuring that everyone has at least a certain standard of living.
If we are relying on the government to fix our problems, we should also lean on the government to eradicate poverty.
A SIMPLE SOLUTION OF REDISTRIBUTION OF REDISTRIBUTED WEALTH
Those who pay lower taxes or no taxes at all are suggested to donate more to charitable causes since they are being subsidized by the few who donate the most to charity and pay the most in taxes to keep America running. The average effective tax rate is 20% for all Americans and 26% for the top quintile of earners ($248,400). Perhaps a simple donation formula for everyone is: 20% (Avg. effective tax rate) – An Individual’s Effective Tax Rate = How Much To Donate. Of course, if your existing effective tax rate is already higher than 20%, you should feel good that the government is utilizing your income for the greater good…….. but let’s just use one example where this is not the case.
With some 131,000 homeless veterans in America, our government isn’t doing a great job honoring our people who allow us to be free. It makes me mad. But, I strongly believe that the 40%+ of Americans who pay no Federal income taxes are good people who are willing to redistribute their wealth as well. Let’s call it a redistribution of redistributed wealth so the most needy benefits!
Recommendation To Build Wealth And Donate More

Chris Kendall has been appointed to referee Friday’s Betfred Super League Grand Final, the culmination of a marathon 2020 season in which all match officials have been recognised for playing their part.
Kendall, 28, will be taking charge of his second successive Grand Final. Tom Grant and Scott Mikalauskas have been appointed Touch Judges, with Ben Thaler as the Video Referee.
Dave Rotheram, the RFL’s Chief On-Field Officer, said: “Congratulations to Chris Kendall and all of the officials who have been appointed for the Betfred Super League Grand Final this weekend. As with the players, it is always a thrill and an honour for our officials to be involved in the game’s biggest occasions.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all the match officials and their coaches who have joined players, administrators and so many others in responding to the unique challenges of this season – and also to thank all those others for their efforts on behalf of the RFL’s match officials department.
“Our match officials, whether members of the full-time squad or the many others who have contributed from the Grade 1 List, have had to make the same sacrifices as the players over the last four months in terms of restricting any social contact away from the game, and taking weekly Covid-19 tests.
“There have been additional challenges from the rule changes that were introduced for the resumption of the season in August. It’s taken a team effort from all involved in the game, whether players, coaches, media, administrators or match officials, to get to this point, with one big match remaining.
“The match officials are keen to put on record their appreciation, especially to the players and coaches, for the way they have adapted to the rule changes and various other ways in which this season has been so different – and on behalf of the RFL and others, I’d like to recognise the role the officials have played themselves.”
The RFL’s Laws Committee will meet again in January to evaluate the impact of the rule changes introduced for the second phase of the 2020 season, both temporary and permanent, and to make decisions relating to the 2021 season and beyond.
Betfred Super League Grand Final 2020, Match Officials:
Referee – Chris Kendall
Touch Judges – Tom Grant, Scott Mikalauskas
Video Referee – Ben Thaler
Reserve Referee – Liam Moore
Reserve Touch Judge – Cameron Worsley
Match Commissioner – Paul Crashley

Shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 27, 23-year-old Rene Munguia was killed and two people were injured in a rollover accident in San Jacinto, reported The Press-Enterprise. While traveling along Soboba Road, the driver of a pickup truck lost control of the vehicle less than two miles north of Chabela Drive, causing it to overturn several times. Munguia, a front-seat passenger, was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency responders transported two other victims to area hospitals to receive treatment for injuries ranging from moderate to major. The accident is under investigation.
San Jacinto accounted for none of the 164 fatalities and 132 of the 10,594 injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents that occurred in Riverside County in 2010, according to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System. The California Office of Traffic Safety ranked San Jacinto 37th out of 93 similarly sized cities for its incidence of fatal and injury crashes that year; 1st place is the worst possible ranking.
California law ensures that that those who have been injured or lost loved ones in traffic accidents have recourse through the civil justice system and may hold the parties at fault for the accidents liable for expenses related to their recoveries or losses. To learn more about the rights of accident victims and their families, please call 866-981-5596.
All of us at Allen, Flatt, Ballidis, and Leslie would like to offer our condolences to the family of Rene Munguia. We would also like to wish a full recovery to the two people who were injured.

For Area 2 hunters, January 2011 means the 2010/11 deer season is pretty much over, and it is time to clean up and pack up the deer-hunting gear.
However, in the delta parishes of Area 1 and in the upper Area 6 parishes, January 2011 is the time for the first month of breeding activity, and hunters know that this is their time to connect with a wall-hanger.
In the parishes of Areas 1 and 6 where December is the first month for breeding activity, January 2011 will be the second month of the rut. This is the area that I hunt, and for the past three years, January has been the month that I have seen the biggest bucks. Unless I have been really blessed with having the opportunity to use all my buck tags in December on good adult bucks, I make sure I have one tag left for the last week of January, which is when I have seen the really good ones.
This so-called late rut is really not late at all; it is happening right on schedule based on the genetics of the deer in these parishes. It is just happening late in the deer-hunting schedule set by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
Most of the does are having their first estrus cycle, and will be bred during the month of January. Those that do not cycle will have their estrus period a month later, and those that do not breed (this is not very common) will also cycle again in February.
Because so many of these does are cycling at the same time, a buck does not have to move very far to find a hot doe. Hunters may or may not see a lot of chases because of this.
In January, however, the cold fronts are generally more frequent, and this can up ones chances for success due to the does moving to eat. When the does move, the bucks will be behind them. Hunters on small tracts can benefit from this restricted deer movement if they have done the habitat work that attracted deer and the deer incorporated this property into their core area. When the rut is on, the key to success is to hunt hard for several days. Hunters who can only hunt on the weekends are not going to fare as well as those who have the flexibility to stay with the sign.
I hunt in the Clinton area, where December is the first month of breeding, and January is the second month of breeding. The buck activity level, in my opinion, is much higher this second month than the first. I believe the reason for this is that there are just a few does that will be ovulating, and the competition among the bucks to find and breed them is very high.
The landowners in the area that I hunt practice quality deer management, and there is a good population of adult bucks.
The buck activity, such as making rubs and working scrapes, increases as does their movement to find these does. Telemetry studies often report a higher movement of bucks during the latter stages of the rut, and I believe this is due to them searching hard to find those few remaining estrus does.
In order to be successful when hunting the rut, one must know when the rut is going to occur in the area hunted. Most hunters should know when the breeding takes place on the land they are hunting; this is well documented by LDWF. Louisiana Sportsman magazine publishes the rut dates every year.
When the gun season opens in Area 2 (see Table 1), the rut is kicking off so it is important for Area 2 hunters to be out there on the opening days and during the month of November. That’s not the case in Areas 1 and 6.
In these areas, it is not that important to be out there for the opening days in November, especially if weather conditions are not good. Hunting days would be better spent during the breeding months, the time when the bucks are active.
Tables 2 and 3 show exactly what I am writing about. The trophy buck kill is happening in Area 2, but as the data shows, it is not until the pre-rut begins in late December in upper Area 6 that the buck activity starts, as does the buck harvest. Hunters with limited vacation time would be wise to use it at the time when deer activity is high.
For the last three years, I have been keeping records of my hunting activity, and have documented my sightings of 13 adult bucks. Table 4 shows the results of my encounters. The popped cap was a really nice 16-inch-plus (inside spread) 8-point that did not stay around for me to put another cap on the nipple. Normally I check the fire hole on my two muzzleloaders before going out, but on this morning I skipped that procedure.
As shown by Table 5, most of the success I have with adult bucks is during the breeding months. Only one buck has been harvested during the days of November. This deer was killed on a day when the temperature was cold and had been cold for a couple of days, and the barometric pressure had been steadily rising that morning. It was a buck that I had not previously seen; it had 10 points with palmated beams, was 4½ years old and weighed 190 pounds. It came walking through the green patch I had elected to hunt at 8:45 a.m.
As the table shows there is no difference between the months of December and January, according to my hunting success. Hunting between the breeding splits will pay off as the bucks spend a few days to refuel and feed prior to going back chasing the does during the next month. If the acorns have played out, this is a good time to hunt near a feeder or green patch.
I am fortunate that I get to gun hunt both months of breeding; the upper Area 6 hunters do not get to gun hunt during the second breeding month of February. Hunters in this area who either bowhunt or hunt deer with a crossbow would be wise to take advantage of the two weeks in February.
I have found that hunting deer when the barometric pressure is rising is a time of good deer movement and will keep me on the deer stand. Table 6 shows what my data says about barometric pressure. All of the sightings are between 28.3 and 30.3 HG with the HG above 30 being a great time.
Charles Alsheimer of Deer and Deer Hunting magazine has written that deer move best when the barometric pressure is between 29.8 and 30.29. Jim Nelson wrote in a September 2010 Outdoor Life article that a barometric pressure reading of 30 or more will increase the daylight activity of deer.
The barometric pressure is an easy piece of data that is readily obtained from the weather folks, and is easy to track. Knowing what the BP is doing is a must for the serious deer hunter.
Next to the BP, the other weather data that is a must for me is the temperature. Usually the two go hand in hand. As Table 7 points out, all of my encounters occur when the temperature is below 60 degrees. Of course this data set may be biased because when the temperature rises above 60, I am out of the deer stand. It is time to do other things. One picture that you will not see is that of me holding a nice adult buck wearing a T-shirt. When it’s hot, my time is spent hunting the pigs and small game or doing chores.
Many hunters will put stock in the moon phase. Table 8 shows that the phase of the moon did not have an impact on my hunting success. I experienced encounters with adult bucks during all the various phases.
Some hunters may be surprised by Table 9. Most of my encounters occur in the mornings, generally around the time when the sun is up and has begun to warm the landscape.
During the breeding months, most of my hunting is done with the idea of connecting with an adult buck. I look for the rubs and scrapes, and will hunt the travel corridors leading to them, or hunt the corridors where bucks are moving to and from feeding and bedding areas. I do not spend a lot of time on food plots or feeders, unless the sign indicates the bucks are moving or using these areas.
No doubt many hunters are successful in the late-afternoon hour of the day. If I were to look at the doe-harvest data, it might show that the afternoon hours are good for me. The two adult does that I killed last year in January were killed on a food plot in the last few minutes of daylight.
As I mentioned, finding sign and being able to stay on the sign is a must for a hunter during the rut. This is one reason I retired three years ago; I wanted to be able to hunt when the time was right and have the ability to stay on it and hunt for several days.
If I had to limit myself to hunting only during one month of the year, I would have to choose the month of January based upon the activity level that I have observed during this three-year period.
There was a time, however, when I absolutely had to be out there for opening day, but now I have learned that in the late season the best is yet to come.

Las Vegas is in the process of cultivating a reputation as a hotbed for basketball prospects, and Troy Brown may be the next local to plant the city’s flag in the NBA. The former Centennial phenom is set to hear his name called during Thursday night’s NBA Draft, and there’s a very good chance he’ll be the third Las Vegan in the last five years to be selected in the first round.
Following in the footsteps of first-rounders Zach Collins (No. 10 overall in 2017) and Shabazz Muhammad (No. 14 overall in 2013), Brown was anointed as the city’s “next future pro” as early as his freshman year of high school. He averaged 22.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists as a senior and was a top-20 prospect the Class of 2017, and the heavy speculation was that Brown was a cinch as a one-and-done player at the college level.
He committed to Oregon as a five-star prospect, and after a productive freshman season with the Ducks (11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists) he declared for the draft.
Now Brown is on the verge of making a longtime dream come true. At 6-foot-7, he has impressive size for a wing player, and his potential on the defensive end has NBA teams intrigued.
After a recent pre-draft workout that was attended by representatives of all 30 NBA teams, Brown said he has adopted a professional mindset. “This is my job now,” Brown said. “I didn’t get a ton of shots up in college, it was a busy schedule with time management and all that. Now this is my job, so I’m in here every day working as hard as I can.” Most mock drafts have Brown projected as a mid-first round pick. CBS Sports and The Sporting News have him going to the Milwaukee Bucks with the No. 17 pick, USA Today has him going No. 18 to the San Antonio Spurs, and NBA.com has him mocked No. 26 to the Philadelphia 76ers.
One NBA front office executive said that Brown safely projects as a player who can do a little bit of everything, but cautioned that he lacks any one standout skill.

Barbados’ cricket selectors have been bowled a vicious bouncer by a coach. Alvin Greenidge, coach of the Barbados Defence Force Sports Programme (BDFSP), has taken issue with a 40-man squad announced in preparation for the 2013 regional four-day first-class championship and 50-overs competition. Greenidge, a former Barbados and West Indies batsman, was peeved about the omission of two of his players – Antonio Greenidge and Renaldo Brathwaite – and also voiced his displeasure over a policy by the selectors to “recycle” players. The 21-year-old Antonio Greenidge, who is not related to Alvin, was the third highest run-scorer in this year’s LIME Elite Division with 580 runs (ave. 38.67), while Brathwaite, also 21, who is part of the national Twenty20 training squad, scored 453 runs (ave. 28.31.). “I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. I can’t believe the selectors will sit down and omit these two young men. I feel they have made a mistake,” Greenidge told WEEKENDSPORT yesterday.

Red Sox strike deal with Padres for Kimbrel
Margot, Guerra among four prospects headed to San Diego for elite closer
BOSTON -- The Red Sox acquired an electric, four-time All-Star closer in Craig Kimbrel on Friday night, sending four prospects to the San Diego Padres.
Dave Dombrowski's first major acquisition since being hired by the Red Sox as president of baseball operations in August was a doozy, one that paves the way for a bullpen that could dominate in the late innings.
Koji Uehara, the club's closer the last three seasons, will move to the eighth inning. Junichi Tazawa, one of the top setup men in the game the last couple of years, will be responsible for the seventh.
And Kimbrel, smack in the middle of his prime at 27 years old, will be there to finish. The Red Sox have Kimbrel under their contractual control for the next three seasons.
"When we look at Craig, we look at him as a premium closer, and there are various names out there, but [Kimbrel is] one of the best in the game of baseball," said Dombrowski. "I think the key for us is we had identified some guys that stood above the rest, as far as the ability to close. We thought the ability to get one of those guys was extremely important."
To acquire Kimbrel, Dombrowski parted with outfielder Manuel Margot, shortstop Javier Guerra, infielder Carlos Asuaje and lefty Logan Allen.
Margot was ranked third among Red Sox prospects by MLB.com, and Guerra was rated sixth. Margot was signed by the Red Sox as an international free agent in 2011 out of the Dominican Republic and is known for his athleticism. Guerra, signed out of Panama in 2012, could emerge into a star on defense at a key position. Allen was drafted by the Red Sox in the eighth round back in June.
"You don't ever like to give up young talent," Dombrowski said. "We think they're very talented individuals. We do have some depth at those positions."
Dombrowski liked the fact he didn't have to give up any Major League talent.
Kimbrel, who was traded from the Braves to the Padres the day before the 2015 season started, is looking forward to the opportunity to get acclimated to his new team this time around.
"I'm excited," said Kimbrel. "With the history and the fans in Boston, the atmosphere is always awesome every time I've been there. You can feel the history and everything behind it there. To be able to play in front of those fans is going to be a lot of fun."
Red Sox manager John Farrell called Uehara before the trade was officially announced, and the righty once again exemplified the team-first attitude he's been known for throughout his career. Uehara, who threw the final pitch of the 2013 World Series for the Red Sox, will be 41 at the start of next season.
"John made sure to reach out to Koji and spoke to him tonight already, and he said he was really good with the change of role and that all he wants to do is pitch in the World Series again," said Dombrowski. "He basically said, 'You don't have to worry about me, I'll pitch whenever you're asked to.'"
Now that Kimbrel is in the fold, Dombrowski can look for depth in the bullpen from here on out, and try to sign an ace starter on the free-agent market.
"I think this is enough of a major move that we need to make," said Dombrowski. "Because when you shift Koji into the eighth and Tazawa into the seventh, that's significant. I can't say we won't do some tweaking as time goes on, I'm not really sure about that, but I think with the major moves, this is a big step for us and probably the major step we look to make at this point."
Though no closer is automatic, Kimbrel often comes close. Since the start of his first full season in 2011, Kimbrel leads Major Leaguers in saves (224), ranks second in ERA (1.70), strikeouts (523), strikeouts-per-nine innings (14.37), and save percentage (90.7); is third in WHIP (0.91) and opponents' batting average (.160); and is fourth in hits allowed per nine innings (5.05).
The righty has converted 225 of 248 save opportunities, good for a 90.7 percent conversion rate that ranks second all-time in MLB history among relievers with at least 200 save chacnces.
Back on June 8, Kimbrel recorded his 200th save in his 318th career game, becoming the fastest reliever in history to reach that plateau.
The Red Sox also had been looking into Reds closer Aroldis Chapman. However, Chapman is eligible for free agency at the end of '16. The Red Sox will pay Kimbrel $11 million next season, $13 million in 2017, and they hold a club option worth $13 million in '18.
Kimbrel was 4-2 with 39 saves and a 2.58 ERA in 61 appearances (59 1/3 innings) for the Padres in 2015. He notched 87 strikeouts for a 13.20 strikeouts-per-nine-innings ratio, the third highest among all NL relievers (5th best in MLB), and the highest single-season mark in team history for a Padres reliever.
"Moving to the American League, I'm excited," said Kimbrel. "It's a league with big bats, and as a pitcher, you want that opportunity to be able to face those big bats. It's a challenge, and I'm looking forward to it."
Fantasy spin | Fred Zinkie (@FredZinkieMLB)
With a 1.70 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP since the start of 2011, Kimbrel is arguably the safest fantasy closer. The right-hander faltered slightly last season, but a down year for Kimbrel consisted of a 2.58 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. With the Red Sox, he should be a source of elite ratios and roughly 40 saves.
Kimbrel's arrival squashes the fantasy value for deposed stopper Koji Uehara. The 40-year-old righty would have been a solid No. 2 closer in mixed leagues for 2016, but he will now stay on waivers in most formats. With a lifetime 2.42 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP, he can still be a strong source of ratios for deep-league owners.
In San Diego, Kevin Quackenbush and Brandon Maurer have the best chance among those on the current roster to earn 2016 save chances. But given the Padres' active track record in the past 12 months, it seems likely that their bullpen could undergo additional changes in the coming weeks.

Aht... You got me.
Cronenberg has forgotten more about good directing than Craven ever knew about it.
Alfred Hitchcock could direct a better movie than Wes Craven from the grave.
Instead of worrying about the Carp's merit, I think everyone should focus on the mental retardation of the one asshole who voted Tobe Hooper. :cry:
EDIT: I got Shivers in the mail today. Pumped as shit to see Cronenberg's first especially already knowing the history of the film in depth. Rabid was wicked, so I just can't wait to check it out ASAP.
The Thing = great movie
Craven a hack? No.
Creepshow is a fun film, but far far from a horror masterpiece. It's more of a grilled cheese sandwich.
I know that it doesn't try to be any kind of important social message or write characters that require Meryl Streep and Al Pacino level acting. But in terms of how visually and stylistically epic it is, how effective and creepy it is... C'mon, how many other films come this close to an absolutely perfect horror mood? I mean, was Suspiria about anything, really? It's still a masterpiece. I think Creepshow is damn close, and that's more than good enough. It certainly did more for me than Day of the Dead, Martin, and... yes I'm going to say it: Night of the Living Dead. Everytime I watch Creepshow, it still has the same power. I never get bored. What horror fan on Earth would like Dawn of the Dead, Suspiria, The Fog, films like those, and not be completely in love with Creepshow??
I guess I always take the good with the bad. None of these are perfect... well Psycho and Halloween are pretty close (for me). I'm just sad someone doesn't enjoy The Thing! I don't know about all the AIDS scare angles and stuff, but from a pure freaked-out scare point of view it still really works. I saw it maybe 3 years ago in a 700 person theater and there were clearly a lot of kids there who had never seen it and they were so freaked they could barely watch the screen. Is it Citizen Kane? Of course not, but I still think it is pretty effective on the masses.
Creepshow was the film I used as a "gateway film" to get my nephew into horror and now he worships it. And Ed Harris dancing in the Father's Day bit is amazing!
This one. Okay, I liked the monster in the crate, but overall, I find the stories overwrought and the acting effete (even Adrienne Barbeau's, and I love her in The Fog). And there's a comedic edge that I simply can't stand in horror. Of course, all of these things I dislike are probably necessitated by the fact that it is a horror anthology. And I've yet to come across a horror anthology I genuinely liked. I absolutely hated Asylum.
Hmm...I'd even argue that Hitchcock really never really made a "true" horror film his entire career. I mean, he is known as "The Master of Suspense", no? Psycho certainly is not a horror film. It fits more into the category of a psychological/ suspense-thriller. It's more noir-ish in style than anything else, even though it lands just outside the noir era. The film is not about someone killing someone, it's about WHO is commiting the murders. There's that mystery aspecct to it. (And the fact that some people refer to it as a slasher? Err..what?) The fact that someone is murdered doesn't make it a horror movie and Hitchcock isn't a horror director at all. He made ONE horror movie, and even then it's kindof debatable (The Birds). Someone is murdered in Rope, is that a horror movie? No. Someone's killed in Rear Window. Horror movie? Of course not. Shadow of a Doubt is about a serial killer in hiding. Does that make it a horror movie? Certainly not.
And about Carpenter...he's always had that action aspect to all his films. I mean, he WAS inspired by Howard Hawks' westerns Rio Bravo and Red River. And, considering he REMADE The Thing, one of Hawks' films, Howard Hawks was a great influence on him. So him adding action aspects to his movies wasn't out of the ordinary. He DID make Assault on Precinct 13 and Dark Star before Halloween! Neither of which were horror films. Carpenter even said that Assault on Precinct 13 was a more stylized, modern-day version of Rio Bravo. (He initially wanted to make a western, but didn't have a big enough budget.)
And he ripped off Alien with The Thing? Oh please. How can you even compare them? Why does everyone seem to think that any sci-fi that came out after 1979 was either a rip-off of Alien or Star Wars? What ripped off Alien? Contamination. The Thing is completely different in style than Alien is. Sure, something that is not human is killing people, so does that mean Christine ripped off Alien too? No. It's a weak comparison. Carpenter had dabbled in sci-fi long before Ridley Scott did. (Most of Carpenter's early shorts were all sci-fi.) I'd even say Carpenter is more of an action director than a horror director. He made only, what? Three "true" horror films? Halloween, Christine and The Fog? Yeah, pretty much.
And what makes Christine so much worse than any other horror movie from that era? Honestly, it's one of the better ones.
Some interesting points, Matt, but I think the the distinction between thriller and horror is vague. Suspense is an element often present in both, and not really a genre in itself. How does horror go about instilling horror? A disturbing/frightening prospect? Repelling imagery (gore)? Suspense? Jump scares? Some films are definitely thrillers, some are definitely horror movies, but Psycho exists somewhere in that gray area between horror and thriller, as do many gialli. I think that when determining genre, one must look at approach as much as theme, and also, one must respect that genre is never "either/or".
As far as Carpenter goes, Prince of Darkness and The Thing are very much horror films in my book. Sci-fi is kinda like a template that isn't generically exclusive - you can have sci-fi horror (The Thing, Alien), sci-fi thrillers (Blade Runner), sci-fi action/adventures (Star Wars), and even sci-fi comedies (Spaceballs).
I'm reminded of the quote Hitchcock supposedly uttered about Dario Argento and Deep Red, "This young Italian guy is starting to worry me."
See, but that's just the distinction that makes Psycho a thriller mystery and NOT a horror movie. The film isn't as much focused on the murders as it is on who the killer actually IS. Take a movie like Friday the 13th. Sure, nobody knows who the killer is, but it's not as much about WHO the killer is rather than the murders themselves. You know the characters are set up to die, and it's all about HOW they're killed. The goriness of it all. It's a horror movie. Psycho is completely different in this respect. The main character (or who you THINK the main character is) is suddenly and violently killed off halfway through the movie. Sure it's shocking, but it leaves the viewer saying, "Well...WHO the hell did it? What's going on in this motel?" And the movie itself is all about unravelling the mystery behind the murders. It's not about the murders themselves, it's about WHO is committing them. It's much much more a psychological thriller than a horror movie. I just don't believe Psycho to be a horror film because I believe it simply is NOT one.
And what I meant about Carpenter. WHen I said "true" horror films, I meant that Halloween, The Fog and Christine are the only horror films he made that were not "hybrids" of any other genre. The Thing is more action/sci-fi horror. Halloween is simply a slasher film. The Fog is a ghost story, Christine is about a possessed car. Simple horror movies. I know it wasn't you who said it, but I just don't agree with all the heat people give Carpenter. Saying he ripped off Alien when he certainly did not, passing Christine off as being hollow and having no style. I mean, back yourself up, for Christ's sake. Christine IS quite good for a horror film, and the things it's being accused of are COMPLETELY and entirely false. I think THAT is a load of crap. People who cannot back up their opinions for shit and just pass off other people's opinions as if THEY'RE wrong. Bullshit.
Wow, if you have so little to say about the films that you're comparing their ASPECT RATIOS (true CinemaScope was actually 2.55:1), I can't even be bothered. You're looking at the two films purely on a surface level, with only the most juvenile comparisons. (Look, they're BOTH widescreen!!!) You haven't convinced me, and I won't be able to convince you, so I'm just not gonna bother this time around.
But with Christine, I get it now. All you had to do was explain it. It's made of poop. Good, I'm glad we got that sorted out.
We all have different opinions and that's cool. I love Alien and The Thing. But let's be fair everyone rips off someone.
Anyone who can watch Alien and not see A LOT of Bava's Planet of the Vampires and some of Cronenberg's Shivers is delusional. At the same time Carpenter definitely wears his Howard Hawks inspiration on his sleeve. You name me a director and I will show or find you their inspiration.
I try to measure films by their ability to accomplish what they set out to do. The Thing does feel like an updated 50s EC horror comic. Alien does feel like a "haunted house" in space. Both work in their own way, depending on your tastes.
Well, I try to measure films by what the director accomplishes, period. I don't remember who it was who was talking about directors being "directors for hire," but not every great creative name in the horror genre envisioned the entire movie from the ground up. If Wes Craven was just hired on to do his movies, look at what Joe Dante and Tobe Hooper were able to do with movies they were just hired on for. I respect Poltergeist and couldn't care less about Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, so fuck Spielberg, I see more of Hooper's style on the movie and he knows how to creep the audience out (at least in his earlier films). And in Dante's case, maybe he just did scripts that fit him like a glove, but who cares? I think people who only focus on what the director's or writer's intention before making the movie are thinking unrealistically. If the movie goes astray by way of letting the special effects or gore take over the point of the movie (Lucio Fulci, I'm looking at you!), the directors should be held accountable for that. Alien had a lot more balance. When I watch The Thing, I may like the head sprouting the spider-legs, but WINDOWS, DO SOMETHING!!! He just stands there. Why? Because Carpenter & co. decide they need him to die to up the bodycount. That doesn't exactly strike me as very deep and meaningful. Or having anything to do with the plot whatsoever. Regardless of how cool the FX look.
Sorry I keep doing that. I just feel like when I've got something, I should roll with it.
I said more than that, but I'm not surprised you just brushed it off.
Wake up, Matt. That's because you think The Thing actually went deeper than the surface level but I don't. Just because Carpenter's ambition was lofty doesn't mean he achieved it. It's a matter of who thinks he did and who doesn't. I don't. I think it's just for show, just to distract us from the creature FX. I guess you don't agree. Big whoop.
Good, because I'm starting to see a similarity between you and a pouting child.
I don't care what you do and don't get sorted out.
You forgot to add:
-Both films have people as actors.
-Both films have a male director.
-Both films feature the use of a close-up at some point.
-Both films feature an all-male cast to deconstruct the principles of masculinity and are set in the Mother space ship to show the womb-like relationship between technological discovery and maternity.
Err, ignore that last point. Seriously, with that kind of surface analysis you would be a fine candidate for a career in the MPAA. :lol:
You are right, but I would guess that Windows was supposed to be in such shock that he couldn't respond. And Doesn't Harry Dean Stanton die in a similar "frozen in fear and waiting to die" kind of way in ALIEN? My opinion is that THE THING wants to be a movie where the crazy effects take over (like an old EC comic) whereas ALIEN wants to be more restrained. They are both great films that take very different approaches to providing scares. Clearly you are a fan of the "less is more" approach, and that is totally cool, but don't begrudge us gore-hounds our fill as well
As far as being a director for hire, there are a lot of variables that go into making a successful film that reflects well on a director. I love Craven for HILLS HAVE EYES, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SCREAM and NEW NIGHTMARE. But he also did CHILLER and HILLS HAVE EYES 2. Carpenter made HALLOWEEN... and GHOSTS OF MARS. ROMERO made NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD... and BRUISER. Financing, meddling producers, bad actors... it's not just a director that determines the outcome.
I agree with you that SCREAM is unjustly attacked. People forget that when it came out horror was dead. DEAD. SCREAM gave the horror genre a life and the chance for theatrical releases. Without SCREAM there is no (insert your favorite modern horror film here). I do not "blame Halloween" for all the crappy slashers that came after and I do not "blame Scream" for all the post-modern slashers that came after it.
Well, the directors are not necessarily the driving force behind the production of a film. For example, take the classical Hollywood era. Directors rarely to never had final cut approval. (VERY few actually did.) Most were simply "directors for hire", who supervised the shoot. Then the footage was canned and the directors never saw the film again until right before it was released and the editing was complete. (A lot were not even allowed in the editing rooms!) So, to judge a film by what the director accomplishes is not an entirely just way at judging a film. Although you can still spot many directors' trademarks in their films, it was the studios and editors who put out the final product. What Angelman said about judging a film by its ability to accomplish what it sets out to do is probably the best way of looking at any film. You could apply that mentality to ANY movie, because every film does set out to accomplish something. Some are successful, some are not. But to totally credit the director on whether the film is successful or attack them because their film DIDN'T accomplish what it was set out to, you're not looking at the movie as a whole.
See, that's the attitude right there why people pass off your opinion and "brush it off" as nothing. You only focus on the aspects that support your argument, and take nothing else into consideration. You don't respect Poltergeist, not with that attitude. And no, you wouldn't see any Spielberg in Poltergeist, because you pass off Jaws and Close Encounters. You're passing off his input in the film. If you DID take them into consideration, you'd see that the movie is about 90% a Spielberg production. The credits even say, "A Steven Spielberg Production". Righfully so. If you'd look at other Spielberg films like Close Encounters and E.T., you'd see how the focal point of both of those movies is the connection of children to outside forces. In E.T., Elliot is the only person who develops the closest bond with E.T. When he gets sick, E.T. starts to get sick and die. They have that connection. In Close Encounters, a little boy is abducted by "friendly" aliens. Their attraction to these "beings" is their life force. That's the connection between all of Spielberg's films. With Carol-Anne in Poltergeist, why do the ghosts want Carol-Anne? Her life force. That's her connection to them. Not only that, but the ENTIRE film is built upon our own childhood fears. The scary tree outside, thunderstorms, the closet, the creepy clown, monsters under the bed, ghosts. "It knows what scares you", no?
Sure Hooper knows how to creep audiences out, but who's to say Spielberg can't? Duel is a great example. Parts of Close Encounters are downright creepy. How about the scene in Jaws where Ben Gardner's head pops out of the wrecked hull of his boat and Richard Dreyfuss swims away in a frenzied panic? Sure it's creepy. Look at the theme to the film, it's creepy as hell. Jaws probably has one of the creepiest themes out of any film. The only Hooper aspect of Poltergeist I can see is the scene with the meat and maggots, and where Marty rips his face off in front of the mirror. (All within 5 minutes of eachother.) Other than that, it's all Spielberg. I don't see more of Hooper's style anywhere in the film because it simply is not there. I can't see something that isn't there.
Hooper's films tend do deal with raw, gritty reality. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eaten Alive, The Funhouse. It's all about people happening upon unfortunate circumstances. (The kids decide to spend a night in the funhouse, people stay at a motel and are fed to crocodiles, a group of kids happen upon a cannibalistic family). No connection to Poltergeist. Poltergeist is not Hooper's directing style at all. How is it exactly more of a Hooper film than a Spielberg film? It's not. Spielberg wrote the story, the screenplay. It's quite obvious he directed about 85-90% of it. Poltergeist has that fantasy edge that Spielberg has in nearly every one of his films. (Duel, Close Encounters, E.T., The Twilight Zone, Hook, Jurassic Park, A.I., Minority Report, War of the Worlds, even the Indiana Jones films...just to name several.) Poltergeist is a very polished, glossy little horror film (just like Spielberg's films) whereas Hooper's are the exact opposite. They look like they were filmed with a camcorder. I just don't see how the film is so overtly Hooper when it isn't.
Why was Hooper given directing credit? Who knows. Some sources said that he passed the directing credit to Hooper because Spielberg didn't want it to interfere with his production of E.T.. (He wanted more credit for E.T. than for Poltergeist.) Not sure how truthful that take on it is, butthere could be a number of reasons why Hooper got the credit. Spielberg's PRETTY FUCKING HUMBLE, I'll put it that way.
I will agree with you on one point, though. I do believe that Alien is a MUCH better film than The Thing, I just don't see how your comparisons between the two hold any validity other than looking at the films on other than merely a surface level.
Totally different? Well, I think we are splitting hairs here, all I know is that if I saw somebody explode into a gigantic monster, I might hesitate for a moment... that said, I will concede the point.
That must just be a taste thing, the gore in THE THING still works for me, but I see your point. The Mike Ploog designs and Bottin effects still read as "real" in my head. Still has that visceral impact (for me).
I don't look at box office either, I was just making a point to the haters that SCREAM was good and successful. Many of the films I love made NO money, like the Christopher Walken PROPHECY. That movie is near perfect to me, nails my personal tastes flawlessly and made no money. I saw it twice in the theater and the second time I saw it the girl that I was with was the only other person in the theater!

I have been involved in music production for more than 25 years and still love doing it. It's so great to be constantly exposed to new music and new people. I began at Powerstation recording studios in NYC and learned from some of the best engineers and producers in the business and at the best studios. It has been a fascinating experience beginning with a "tape only" way of recording and working through all the changes in digital recording technology that bring us to current times. I am still mixing and recording on both analog and digital systems. It's great to have both! I have worked with many artists including Empire of the sun, Meghan Trainor, Aloe Blacc, Stephanie Chou, Zedd, Jon Batiste ,Desmond Child, Christopher Cross, Paul McCartney, James McCartney, Wilco/Feist, Ingrid Michaelson, The Rubens, Sean Lennon, Jupiter One, Mary J Blige, Frank Sinatra, Push Play, Blondie, Roberta Flack, POD, Carly Simon, Kirk Whalum, Jennifer Knapp, Nicole C. Mullen, Cheap Trick, Teddy Thompson, Renee Fleming, La India, Prince Royce, Ben E.King and many more. Please feel free to email with any questions.


This is the SIHM-2. My first ever horizontal mag gun I have posted. And this isn't just any horizontal mag gun. It has a never before seen way of loading bullets into a chamber utilizing this type of magazine. The gun is also one of the most compact guns of it's kind I've ever seen. Because Horizontal mags are harder to implement into a gun than typical vertical mags, the knex community doesn't have many guns with a magazine like this.
The magazine holds eight green/black rods. It is removable and is gravity fed in a sense. When you attach a magazine, the bullets aren't automatically loaded into the barrel. It must be done manually. The way you do it ensures that there isn't hardly any friction on the bullet so maximum power is achieved with a green rod. The low friction barrel inside makes sure that the bullet isn't slowed down any and achieves great accuracy.
Because it is a green rod shooting gun this gun is not intended for outdoor use. If you would really like, a grey connector shooting version of this gun wouldn't be hard to make, but it would have a lot less capacity, about 5 rounds.
So the way you load bullets is by pulling back the pin, tilting the gun back a little, pulling down the "mag push" until you see a green rod slide onto the top of the mag push. You then proceed to push it up, loading a bullet into the chamber. To shoot you pull the trigger quickly.
Range is around 45 feet, but again, it is not intended for outdoor use, as green rods are hard to find outside.
That's pretty much it, guys. This gun is a new kind of gun, and I would really love it if someone built it and gave me some feedback on it! This is one of my favourite guns I've ever made. This new idea can also be used with bigger magazines, and bigger guns. A stock would also work with this gun.
This gun is also loosely based on the "PP90M1"
Please leave a comment and tell me what you think! Is this a bad idea, a good idea? Should it be changed somehow? What other guns could I implement this idea into? Comments help me out a lot, guys.
If you build it, tell me what you think!!!! (This gun uses 3 broken orange connectors. One has to be sanded down to a certain length.)
Step 1: Magazine
We will be making the magazine first. If you want, build two!
Step 2: Handle
The Handle.... The part of the gun that you hold.
Step 3: Body + Attaching Handle
Here we will make the body and attach the handle.
Step 4: BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!1
I've been forgetting to put breaks in some of my recent instructables, but I remembered this time!
This time you can just sit back, relax, and play some video games.... Your choice of system ;)
Step 5: More of the Body..
We will continue to make the body of the gun.
Step 6: Check and See If the Mag Works
We are just going to see if the magazine attaches properly, and doesn't mess the gun up all.
Step 7: The Rest of the Gun (finally)
We are FINALLY going to make the rest of the gun.
Step 8: Rubber Bands and Loading/Shooting
Here is the last of it. If you need more explanation, please ask me :D

Glen Taylor, the owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves, is a shrewd man.
A shrewd man with a very valuable trade asset in Kevin Love. And while all indications are that Love will be traded to Cleveland for a package headline by Andrew Wiggins, one has to wonder why Taylor would come out nearly four weeks ahead of time and say Love is likely to be traded on Aug. 23 or Aug. 24.
If Taylor doing everyone and their Google calender a favor by coming clean now?
Or is he doing something altogether different -- such as trying to get a different team, such as the Golden State Warriors, to put forth a better offer.
It is a question worth asking, and I answered it in this interview with SportsNets590 in Toronto with host Ben Ennis. We also discussed the Paul George injury, and the impact it could have on future U.S. and Canadian Olympic teams.

2015 San Francisco Giants Awards: MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and more
Sep 6, 2015; Denver, CO, USA; San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (40) delivers a pitch in the first inning against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Mandatory Credit: Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports
Cy Young Award
#40 Madison Bumgarner LHP
Throughout all of the injured and questions among the pitching staff this season, the one consistency was Madison Bumgarner. With guys like Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Jake Arrieta having terrific years, it is near impossible for Bumgarner to have a chance at the MLB Cy Young Award.
With that being said, cowboy Bum was undoubtedly the Giants best pitcher and one of the tops in the league. In his 32 starts, Bumgarner eighth in innings pitched, tied for sixth in wins, and seventh in strikeouts in the MLB this year. Although this may not have helped his chances of winning the best “pitcher” award, Bumgarner also led all MLB pitchers in almost every category: hits, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, among others.
After pitching over 52 innings last year in the 2014 MLB Playoffs, perhaps not making the playoffs this year was a blessing in disguise for Bumgarner.

Market Indexes: Described as market indicators or benchmarks, theyare used to track the performance of a compilation of stocks. Examplesinclude the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) and Standard & Poor's500 (S&P 500).
How many times have you read about the importanceof doing your homework when makinginvestment decisions? By now you've probablylost track of how often you've received this advice. But, it'ssound advice. And one method for doing that homeworkis to utilize tools like major market indexes.
According to the Web site StreetAuthority.com, thesemarket indexes are designed to help investors "measure theoverall performance of the broad stock market." Diligentinvestors use the indexes to compare current market performancewith history. In effect, these indexes can serve asbenchmarks for evaluating your own investment portfolios.
The Old Guard
The Dow is perhaps the best known of all the indexes,at least by name. It's also the oldest, having made its firstappearance on May 26, 1896. And, it contains some of thelargest and most widely held public companies in theUnited States, most of which are household names likeAmerican Express, Home Depot, and General Motors.
The Dow was created by Dow Jones & Company as atool for measuring the performance of the industrial componentof America's stock markets. It is comprised of only30 stocks, which has opened the Dow to some criticism,since it is regularly used as an indicator of overall marketperformance despite its limited scope. Because many ofthe 30 companies open at different times in the morning,using the Dow's posted opening price as a condition of theoverall market could be misleading.
One of the more commonly referenced benchmarks isthe S&P 500, an index of the stocks of 500 large cap companies,most of which are American in origin. Its popularitycould be traced to its transition several years ago froma market-value weighted index to one that is float weighted.In other words, the index is not disproportionatelyimpacted by price movement of companies with greatermarket valuation. Instead, only shares that S&P's determinesare available for public trading are counted.
The New Regime
The Russell indexes are a set of stock indexes that consistof the Russell 3000, which is the main index, and twosubindexes—the Russell 2000 and the Russell 1000. Allthree indexes were created in 1984 by the Frank RussellCompany as objective benchmarks for evaluating managerperformance. And each index has a related but differentfocus.
The 3000 Index, according to StreetAuthority.com, iscomprised of the 3000 largest and most liquid stocksbased and traded in the United States. It attempts to capturethe return of the overall stock market. In contrast, the2000 Index is considered the benchmark for small capstocks, while the 1000 Index tracks the performance ofmost major large cap stocks.
It should be noted, however, that these indexes arerebalanced once annually in June. So, if one companymerges with another or has its stock removed from one ofthe indexes, there could actually be fewer than 3000 stocksin the overall Russell 3000 at various times during the year.
The Wilshire 5000 Index was created in 1974 byWilshire Associates and, because of its size, is often consideredthe total market index. It is designed to track thevalue of the entire stock market, and currently it containsclose to 6700 stocks. It was renamed the Dow JonesWilshire 5000 in 2004 when Dow Jones & Company tookover responsibility for maintaining the index.
To achieve a correlation between an index and one'spersonal portfolio, physician-investors should considerindex funds, which replicate the performance of variousindexes. For example, there are index funds that mirror theS&P 500 and the Wilshire 5000. Many of these index fundsare passively managed in that they operate with little orno human input, which translates into minimal managementfees.
International Market Indexes
Most advisors agree that a well-roundedinvestment strategy should include some exposureto international stocks. With that in mind, the followingare some international market indexes thatcan be used as benchmarks:
•London: The Financial Times 100 Index(FTSE). It's the most widely used benchmark ofequities traded on the London Stock Exchange.
•Brazil: The Bovespa Index. This indextracks the performance of a wide range of stockstraded on the São Paulo Exchange.
•Germany: The DAX Index. This index isused for measuring returns posted by stocks onthe Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
•Hong Kong: The Hang Seng Index. It isthe leading indicator of shares traded on the HongKong Stock Exchange.
•Singapore: The Straits Times Index. Compiledby the newspaper, this index isconsidered Singapore's premier equity index.
•South Korea: KOSPI Index. An acronymfor Korean Composite Stock Price Index, it is anindex of all companies traded on the Korean StockExchange.

Dr Emma Tallantyre, post-CCT research fellow, University Hospital of Wales, and Dr Stuart Vernon, foundation doctor at Bristol Royal Infirmary, discuss the specialty of neurology. They explain what drew them to neurology, how varied the specialty is, and also stress the importance of finding senior mentors for advice and support.
Neurologists manage diseases affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles. Neurology is a hugely rewarding specialty that has been transformed in the last 20 years by new technology and interventions.
Neurology is a broad and varied specialty that holds great appeal, but misconceptions about it abound. Here is a guide to neurology's best kept secrets:
Secret 1: Neurology is more straightforward than you think
Lectures on the nervous system at medical school can be some of the most interesting but might seem quite daunting. However, in time, with good supervision, it will become much easier to understand. None of the components of making a fancy diagnosis are difficult – a good history, a targeted examination, an informed search of the literature – yet the process is made all the more satisfying by others being mystified.
Secret 2: Neurologists have effective treatments
There is good reason for neurology to hold particular appeal for individuals who enjoy uncovering diagnostic conundrums. Neurology is fascinating, but this has led to a misconception that neurology is all about diagnostics with little in the way of therapeutic intervention. The last decade has seen an explosion in the treatment options for many neurological conditions leading to a considerable shift in the workload.
Secret 3: Most neurologists are purely clinicians – research is not essential
Research is strongly encouraged in some areas of neurology but is not essential. Many trainees are opting to go out-of-programme for opportunities such as teaching qualifications or clinical fellowships in place of research.
Secret 4: Neurologists do a lot of acute medicine
All of the evidence points towards the future of neurology being at the front door to the hospital. There will always be a need for good outpatient services for chronic conditions but for those seeking opportunities in acute medicine there will be a vital role for acute neurologists in the 21st century.
Thomas Willis (1625–1675) can claim to be the father of the specialty of neurology. Read more about his life and work in Thomas Willis: the father of neurology on the RCP library, archive and museum blog.

Lots Of Arrested Trump Protesters Didn’t Bother To Vote
A local TV station looked at the voting records of people arrested in Portland's anti-Trump protests
Portland, Oregon assumed center stage in the wave of protests that are sweeping the country following the election of Donald Trump. But a majority of those arrested during the days in which the city’s demonstrators have shuttered highways, damaged property, and clashed with police didn’t vote in the state on election day, according to an analysis by a local television station.
NBC news affiliate KGW compiled a list of 112 anti-Trump protesters arrested by the Portland Police Bureau and found that at least 69 of them — or just over 60 percent — didn’t cast a ballot or were not registered to vote in Oregon. At least 25 of the demonstrators taken into custody did vote. The news station could not immediately verify the voting records of the remaining 17 protestors. For its analysis, KGW compared the names and ages provided on arrest records to state voter rolls.
The analysis did not look at other states — so it’s possible that a number of those arrested were, in fact, voters, who voted in their home states. But, given that we live in a country where just over half of the eligible population votes, it’s safe to assume that a number of those out protesting just stayed home.
The findings bolstered legions of conservatives and Trump supporters online, many of whom assert that the anti-Trump protests — which have occurred in dozens of cities around the country, including New York, Louisville, and Dallas — are the work of paid professional agitators and disgruntled millennials.
Protestors have held rallies and marches every day in Portland since the Trump’s upset election victory. Thousands of people have participated in the demonstrations, which, with few exceptions, have been disruptive but peaceful. On Monday, hundreds of students walked out of school and took to the streets.

"New" converse. Zero money spent on this project...all stuff I already had at home.
These Converse I've had for at least 7 years. I decided to give them a makeover.
First I cleaned up the white part of the sole. They didn't get as white as I had hoped (if only I'd had a bleach pen!), but they are a million times less grungy than they were.
Then I drew my design on with pencil.
Next I painted in the areas I wanted to add color to with gesso.
Then I painted in the color. Then a layer of glitter paint.
I painted a black outline around all the colors to make them pop.
I tried dying the laces purple, but that didn't work well. They are tinted purple, which is better than dirty white...so-yay!
Last I added the heart charms to the laces. I bought similar shoe charms many years ago. I realized it's crazy easy to make my own. All they are is shank buttons with a heavy duty jump ring attached via the shank. Then just thread the laces through.
I LOVE these shoes!!! Can't wait to wear 'em. (Many hours went into this makeover)
I added stars and hearts in a rainbow of colors 'cuz I love hearts, stars, and rainbows. Added the word "love" on one shoe (it's just a happy word) and the name "Bunny" to the other (which is my dream name).
