Martin Robert Coles (born October 12, 1929) is an American author, child psychiatrist, and professor at Harvard University.
Born Martin Robert Coles in Boston, Massachusetts on October 12, 1929, to Philip Coles, an immigrant from Leeds, England, United Kingdom, and Sandra Young Coles, originally from Sioux City, Iowa. Robert Coles attended Boston Latin School where he played tennis, ran track, and edited the school literary magazine. He entered Harvard College in 1946, where he studied English literature and helped to edit the undergraduate literary magazine, The Advocate. He graduated magna cum laude and earned Phi Beta Kappa honors in 1950. He originally intended to become a teacher or professor, but as part of his honors thesis, he interviewed the poet and physician William Carlos Williams, who promptly persuaded him to go into medicine.
He studied medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, graduating in 1954. After residency training at the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois (the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine), Coles moved on to psychiatric residencies at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts (the two hospitals are affiliates of Harvard University and the Harvard University Medical School in Cambridge, Massachusetts). Knowing that he was to be called into the U.S. Armed Forces under the "doctors' draft," Coles joined the Air Force in 1958 and was assigned the rank of Captain. His field of specialization was psychiatry, his intention eventually to subspecialize in child psychiatry.
He served as chief of neuropsychiatric services at Keesler Air Force base in Biloxi, Mississippi, and made frequent trips into New Orleans. During these trips he witnessed scenes of racial conflict, many of them related to the desegregation of the public schools. He wrote a series of articles for The Atlantic Monthly, profiling Ruby Bridges, one of the first Black children to desegregate a public elementary school in New Orleans and therefore a target of daily public protests, intimidation, and even death threats. As a child psychiatrist, he had volunteered to support and counsel Ruby and her family during this difficult period. These articles led to his first book, Children of Crisis: A Study of Courage and Fear, and ultimately to his decision to develop that book into a series of books documenting how children and their parents deal with profound change, a series that won him the Pulitzer prize in 1973. In 1995 he returned to his original material and wrote The Story of Ruby Bridges, a popular children's book, published by Scholastic Corporation.
He has authored more than eighty books and 1300 articles, nearly all of them centrally concerned with human moral, spiritual, and social sensibility and reasoning, mainly in children but also in adults, writers especially, including the novelist Walker Percy (who dedicated his last novel, The Thanatos Syndrome, to Coles), the poet William Carlos Williams, writer James Agee, novelist Flannery O'Connor, and others, such as Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Simone Weil, and Dorothy Lange.
Upon his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Coles returned briefly to Boston. On July 4, 1960, he married Jane Hallowell, a graduate of Radcliffe College and a high school teacher of English and history. After finishing his child psychiatry training at the Children's Hospital, the Coleses returned to the South, living in New Orleans. In addition to continuing work with children in New Orleans and Atlanta, Coles began writing non-technical articles for a number of national publications, including The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, Saturday Review and The Times of London. By 1969, Coles was writing in-depth profiles for The New Yorker and contributing regular columns to The New Republic, New Oxford Review, America, and the American Poetry Review.
At the urging of Erik Erikson, in 1963 Coles became affiliated with University Health Services at Harvard as a research psychiatrist, and gradually he began teaching in the Harvard Medical School, eventually becoming Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Humanities in 1977. He has taught courses in various schools across Harvard University, including the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Business School, the Law School, the Extension School, and the School of Education, where in 1995 he was given a newly established position as James Agee Professor of Social Ethics. He came to teach courses not only in the moral, spiritual, and social sensibilities of children but also in those phenomena generally, especially as expressed in stories, both literary fictions and oral narratives, and as affected by conditions of poverty and social injustice. As a longtime professor, Coles has influenced generations of Harvard undergraduates and graduate students. In 2007, Harvard University named an annual Call of Service lecture in honor of Coles.
His work has been recognized with numerous awards, including election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1971, a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 1973 for his series of books Children of Crisis, a MacArthur Award in 1981, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998, and the National Humanities Medal in 2001. He later co-founded the magazine DoubleTake which documented the lives of ordinary people with photographs, articles, essays, poetry, and short stories. The magazine won several awards, including the 1998 National Magazine Award for Editorial Excellence in the category of General Excellence.
Many of Coles' works draw heavily on quoted conversations with ordinary people, as well as insights from prominent thinkers and leaders — often people Coles has encountered personally in his career — such as William Carlos Williams, Dorothy Day, Walker Percy, William Shawn, Anna Freud, Paul Tillich, Erik Erikson, and Robert F. Kennedy. Starting with the Children of Crisis series, Coles' approach to his subjects involves a difficult balancing act at the heart of the documentary enterprise. His methods combine techniques of participant observation (tape recordings, field notes, drawings, etc.), clinical interpretation, academic social research, and literary narrative. Coles has never been diffident about the economic, social, and racial injustices he has observed in the field. He is a spokesperson for his subjects, a sounding board for their public voices. Coles describes his own literary methods and goals as an effort "to blend poetic insight with a craft and unite ultimately the rational and the intuitive, the aloof stance of the scholar with the passion and affection of the friend who cares and is moved." (The Mind's Fate, p. 10)

Shadow Work Explained – Jungian Psychology – Carl Jung
Shadow Work – The Antidote to Repression – Jungian Psychology – Jung
This video is all about the process of Shadow Work to reintegrate the personal Shadow. The Shadow is the counterpoint to the Ego in the Jungian Psychological model where all repressed traits are stored outside of the light of consciousness.
So, when reintegrating the Shadow through Shadow Work we want to extend our awareness into areas of our awareness that we habitually ignore. In this way, we can solve the problem of repression by making ourselves more whole through acceptance of all of our traits.

We have talked about the definition of MST, some of the difficulties faced with these cases, and various ways you can help to prove your claim using credible secondary evidence. The following contains information regarding how you might locate records pertaining to MST events previously reported on military bases that could potentially provide irrefutable evidence of an occurrence.
We recently handled a case for a veteran who had suffered from an event involving MST caused by the actions of a superior officer in the U.S. Army. At the time of the event, the veteran, fortunately, reported the incident to the Military Police at the base. But because it had been more than five years since the incident had occurred, the records were no longer at the military base. (Typically, the Military Police will retain the records for a period of five years at the base location. After that, the records are sent to the U.S. Army Crime Records Center archives in Quantico, Virginia.)
It was fairly easy to request the records from the Army's Crime Records Center (CRC). The Privacy Act request form is available at the CRC's website: http://www.cid.army.mil/crc.html. It must be sent along with a legible copy of the requester's government issued photo ID and can be mailed or faxed to the CRC. Their website notes that if your request is in support of a VA claim, then you will get a more rapid response if you contact your VA representative (or attorney) and have their office fax your request to 571-305-4155 (CRC Records Division).
In this instance, we requested copies of a 1977 incident providing the veteran's name, SSN, date of birth, contact information, an approximate date of the incident and a brief description of what occurred. (We did not have the exact date or even month of the incident but only used an approximation.) The completed form also had to be signed by the veteran. The veteran was very pleased to receive the results in about three weeks, and the report clearly supported his story of what had occurred. There was also no fee involved to obtain the report.
Other branches of the military also have websites indicating how to obtain criminal records from their archived sites:
U.S. Navy & U.S. Marines — NCIS FOIA Request
U.S. Air Force — http://www.foia.af.mil/
This is just one avenue to possibly use to help prove your claim. In prior articles, we have mentioned various other methods that might be beneficial as well as the elements necessary to prove a VA MST claim.

Hand-hammered for soft, dry and controlled tones.
The Byzance Nuance ride was developed in cooperation with renowned jazz drummer and Meinl artist, Ralph Peterson. The Nuance ride is the sister cymbal to the Meinl Symmetry ride. It serves as a crash/ride but can also be played as a main ride. Six rivets positioned evenly in one section of the cymbal give it instant sizzle while changing the dynamic of the wash. Spin the cymbal with the rivets positioned away and the wash becomes more prevalent. With the rivets positioned closer, the cymbal becomes drier with more stick definition.
A dry character and complex, slow wash make this cymbal relevant in todays music with a homage to the early era of jazz, R&B, and funk.
Rediscover the complex, splashy cymbals of old-time jazz. Order today.

Walker Introduces A-PLUS Act to Empower Parents and Teachers
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative Mark Walker (R-N.C.) yesterday introduced the Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success Act (A-PLUS), a bill that would empower parents, teachers and local administrators to better address the needs of students and schools in their communities.
"This week, we celebrate national school choice and the boundless potential of every American child," Walker said. "We also recognize North Carolina – and the many other states – who have championed education reforms that are unlocking abundant opportunities for our children."
"Innovation starts in our communities, not in Washington," Walker added. "A-PLUS will restore local control and empower parents and teachers to help ensure each child has access to a quality education and the possibility to achieve their dreams."
A-PLUS aims to restore state and local control of education by giving them the option to decline participation in the prescriptive and onerous requirements of federal education programs and focus that funding on solutions that meet their community needs.
The bill also allows states to consolidate funding for any or all programs that are authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
You can read the full text of the Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success Act (A-PLUS) here.
The introduction of this legislation follows Walker's efforts in the 114th Congress with a similar amendment to H.R. 5, the Student Success Act. The amendment was narrowly rejected by a vote of 195-235 in July of 2015.

We love the Lord and want others to know him, so many of us do our part to share Jesus with others. We have a ready presentation that we are quick to dish out to anyone who will listen. We target people whom we think are easy to give this message. If they don't believe, or raise too many questions, we move on to others. We have this notion that evangelism should be easy and convenient. There is no need to try so hard.
But speaking forth the good news about Jesus Christ may require long and complex answers. A closer look at the Book of Acts shows us that experience of the early apostles in sharing their faith was neither convenient nor easy. Stephen, the first martyr, showed a profound understanding of history and theology as he answered the highly educated Sanhedrin on issues of the temple, the law of Moses and Jesus (Acts 6:13). His speech, which takes much of Acts 7, is erudite and astute, but resulted in him being stoned to death.
Stephen's fellow deacon, Philip, answered the queries of an Ethiopian eunuch who was reading some verses in Isaiah. Philip explained those verses and thus led the eunuch to a saving knowledge of Jesus. These men's knowledge of the Scriptures gave them the ability to engage others in profound ways.
The apostle Paul also had the ability to reason with intellectuals—both Jews and Greeks—with kings, as well as God-fearing women gathered by the river in Philippi. Each time, he adapted the message and contextualised the gospel. To Jews in Pisidian Antioch, who were familiar with the Jewish scriptures, he drew from biblical history (Acts 13). In Athens, to the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, he spoke about the creator God who reaches out to the people he created (Acts 17). On trial before King Agrippa, Paul shared his personal testimony of how he had been a persecutor of the faith but repented when he had a vision of Jesus whom he was persecuting (Acts 26:2–23).
While we are familiar with the account that thousands came to faith on the day of Pentecost, at other times, there was little immediate fruit to the apostles preaching. Instead, they faced hardships. Peter and John healed a cripple at Solomon's Colonnade, used the occasion to proclaim Jesus Christ, and then were jailed for the evening (Acts 3:1–4:3). Paul and his team were often misunderstood, such as in Lystra, when the people wanted to offer sacrifices to them, believing them to be the Greek gods Zeus and Hermes (Acts 14:11–13). At other times, they were ridiculed for their message (Acts 17:32).
The apostles spent time with people, so as to properly know and understand their context. Paul spent "a long time" in Antioch (Acts 14:26–28), as well as two years in the province of Asia (Acts 19:10). Although he made mission trips, he stayed in each place as long as he could to establish a community of believers there.
We love people and want them to know the Lord. The early apostles remind us again that hard work is needed to engage people where they are, so that they are presented with compelling reasons to follow Christ. Let us be willing to spend time with people, listen to their concerns and questions so that we can, with gentleness and respect, give truthful, compelling reasons for the hope that we have (1 Pet 3:15).

I'm popping to Albania later this week, with a very vague plan to bob around Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia and come back from Bulgaria. Anyone know anything about cycling in the area? How are roads, people, conditions, what's the attitude to wild camping, chances of finding vegan eats, what's unmissable to see?
• #2
Yeah, anyone who's done TCR in the last 4 years would have some idea. Roads can be great and can be shit. Wild camping is the same as everywhere else - do it out of sight and you don't need worry about anyone's attitude (easier with bivvy than tent, obvs). Albania has some good Italian influence with good pizza and coffee. No idea about vegan - maybe not healthy vegan but there will be something. Look at the checkpoints from TCR for some sights.
One of my favourite places: Pluzine, Montenegro
This was a CP on TCRNo7 in Bulgaria:
• #3
Great, thanks for that - if there's Italian influence, pasta and tomato sauce should be pretty simple to get. Too late to get a bivvy, so will make do with tent and be discreet.
Pluzine looks amazing, better start thinking about a route.
• #4
I was touring there (slovenia, croatia, bosnia serbia, montenegro and albania) last year.
Things are really easy, food is cheap and good, if you don't feel like cooking you can just get a burek for 1€ !
People are really welcoming and some would open their doors for the night and offer you dinner for sure!
Montenegro was my personnal best for the roads, this road following the skadarsko lake in the evening <3
There's also a bunch of warmshowers available, this sweet american couple in skoder, Albania for example
I didn't went to the north mountains in albania but some say they still have some revenge laws in a few villages, don't know how welcoming people can be there:
• #5
I didn't bivy in bosnia, cause there's mines and wolves ! Everywhere else was perfect, no pb at all
• #6
In Montenegro the Durmitor national park is amazing riding, some smooth tarmac/rough road combinations. The Tara gorge was also stunning, but quite busy on parts due to a couple of tourist attractions. As for Kotor bay..busy busy busy "Jesus take the wheel" type driving.

• #7
I'm really looking forward to this now, I love big dogs. Durmitor seems like a couple of days ride from Tirana - going roughly that direction as I want to visit Mostar.
• #8
On the way back to Croatia, we crossed in to Bosnia via this road; https://goo.gl/maps/CWv45MczgMQvBHvm7
A quiet climb, with wide roads, and the border crossing was quick.
The gpx route goes up to another crossing, a very busy one, and if you do the PLuzine tunnels, you will need good lights.
It turned out that Cyclist magazine did a similar route to us through Durmitor.

Also, enter and exit Kosovo via Serbia, as you may have problems leaving Serbia if you went Albania-Kosovo-Serbia.
• #10
@Kurai - I wish I'd read this before cycling a monster climb from Pristina to the Serb border only to be turned away for some bullshit reason (no national ID card - not every country has ID cards, pricks!) because they're still butthurt that they can't have an empire anymore.
Had to backtrack round southern Kosovo into Macedonia and lost a lot of time, just because the Serbs are fucking Vogons.

"My fiance and I booked our planned elopement with Michele and we could not be happier with her services. She spoke with us on the phone multiple times (even once during the Superbowl!) to hear exactly what we wanted. We had no idea what we wanted but she went from suggesting beautiful big beach resorts to coming up with an idea for a tropical boutique resort. Her quotes are beautiful and more similar to an itinerary with photos than a quote. Michele is very responsive and clearly has a lot of inside knowledge at the locations she suggests. She kept travel and lodging costs well within our budget to allow us to splurge on the wedding ceremony. Everything was so wonderful and made us really excited for our wedding, and finally able to picture ourselves really doing this! Thanks Michele!" Shannon & Doris, Feb. 2018

From historic tours and classic holiday films to hardcore bands and burlesque shows, there is truly something for one and all this weekend in Savannah, and the DO crew is here to be your guide.
For the mature crowd, there's almost too much to choose from: Everything is Terrible!, a found-footage event at Graveface Records, the annual Savannah SantaCon bar crawl and three - count 'em, three - options for burlesque shows this weekend.
History buffs will be wowed by the annual Savannah Holiday Tour of Homes and Victorian Tea, which this year features the addition of the Lavish Table, showing how to celebrate the holidays, 1800s-style.
Those focused on the homegrown movement and saving the environment can make it a weekend with Saturday's Bring Your Own Bag Festival and Sunday's Tour de Coop. The first aims to push reusable bags for not only groceries, but also restaurant take-out orders, and the second offers tours of backyard chicken coops and urban gardens.
Families should take advantage of free admission to the Lucas Theatre for two holiday movies, "The Muppet Christmas Carol" and "A Christmas Story." All you need to bring is a donation for either America's Second Harvest or the Humane Society (or both, if you're feeling extra generous this season!)
Finally, music fans have an overload of concerts and shows to try to squeeze in over the next three days. If you're into Americana, check out the Homegrown Holiday Hoedown at Bull Street's American Legion. The sixth annual Yuletide Jam on Isle of Hope also offers a great lineup of local favorites, plus plenty of activities for the kids. If you like your music with some edge, definitely head to Sweet Melissa's for a show featuring nine hardcore bands, including one local band playing its first show, ever.
So whether you're here full-time or just passing through, strap on your Santa hat and make the most of your Savannah weekend!

One of the tidbits I appreciated from Andre Vashist's presentation at the System Thinking Exchange this morning was this little takeaway:
Try replacing the word 'but…' with 'yes, and…'
'That's a great idea, but…' positions the remaining words to stand in opposition to the idea. 'But' is used as a contradiction to the proposition that the idea is 'great.' Alternatively, 'That's a great idea, yes, and…' invites layer and nuance.
How many things exist as binaries? Replacing 'but' with 'yes, and' — in speech and in writing — is a very interesting experiment.

Cornwall Live reports he was arrested after a test showed he had 165mg of alcohol in his blood – the legal limit is only 80mg. Local magistrates did not offer a rehab course because he had already completed one.
The 32-year-old retired British pro had his 2012 Tour of Britain win stripped due to anomalies found in his biological passport. He was banned from competition until the end of 2015 and fired by Team Sky.
Tiernan-Locke told CyclingTips last year that the British national team 'freely offered' Tramadol around at 2012 world championships.
Tiernan-Locke briefly returned to racing last year, entering two races — the Beaumont Trophy and the Rutland – Melton International Cicle Classic, before announcing his retirement.

One of the best soccer clubs in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain started the defense of their Coupe de France with a 2-1 victory against Toulouse on Tuesday night. PSG joined the group of the sixteen best teams in France this season, but it wasn't an easy win for the last year's title holders, as it took an 89th minute penalty-kick to get a victory.
First half
PSG coachLaurent Blanc made a few changes in the first team as he decided to play without important players like Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, and Javier Pastore. However, the team was strong enough, what can be an indication of PSG's squad depth and strength.
The hosts were shocked when their opponents took the lead in the early stage of the game as Jacques Francois Moubandje opened the scoring in the 11th minute of the game. He took advantage of a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper and made no mistake in front of the goal.
The home side dominated the first half but they couldn't find a way to beat Toulouse's defense. PSG spent the rest of the first 45 minutes trying to equalize the result. Firstly, David Luiz's free-kick was saved by the goalkeeper and then Kurzawa's long-range strike was also captured by Toulouse's goalie.
PSG dominated the game
In the second half Paris Saint-Germain started to move the ball faster and they took advantage of their domination in the 54th minute, when the Brazilian defender David Luiz levelled the scores with the header from a perfectly delivered corner kick from Lavezzi.
After the first goal forPSG, Laurent Blanc decided to put in the biggest star of the team – Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He came on in the 64th minute and seemed to have scored with his first contact with the ball as he put the ball into the net, but the referee's assistant put his flag up and the goal was declined.
The hero of Paris -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic
While everyone was waiting for extra time, Spajic foolishly fouled Kurzawa in his own penalty box. Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to take a penalty-kick in the 89th minute and he made no mistake from the spot, sending Paris Saint-Germain through to the next round of the Coupe de France.

Thank you so much for this tool man, MUCH needed!
Hey thank you for the tool, just have a small question. I'm trying to disable everything associated with Lightning Arrow, is the effect that is cast on impact by Lighting Arrow named something else? I tried editing everything I could think of in the LA pet file, unless maybe the impact effect has to do with the scatter_cone_size variable?
Remove what's inside the SkinMesh function and see how it goes.
You can empty all SkinMesh from all 3 .aoc files from there...: rig.aoc, small_beams.aoc. Test and see how the skill looks like after that.
Remember to remove only what's inside the accolades and not the SkinMesh completely. This will cause the game to throw an error.

Hi awesome tool is there any way to reduce Blade Vortex particles to the very low settings? if so could you give me some instructions because I can't find anything with " Blade Vortex " inside this tool. Maybe it's named something else then Blade vortex?
Thanks in advance.

@vmv to the creator. tyvm for this program... herald of ice would cause so much freezing up so it helped quite a bit.
suggestion/request: reduction of the common abilities of cast on crit due to there almost always being a cast on crit in a party and arctic breath i feel being the main problem.. tho lightning ball might be too. i cant tell because both go at the same time. but i do notice i drop frames quite a bit when im struck and my cast on dmg taken arctic breath activates... maybe set to all you see is the ice from under them glide across the floor? i have no clue how far the edits can go but... it does seem to be a well worth and common edit for most people who like to party (much like those who had to deal with discharge cyclones)
i feel its also necessary to mention this incase it is related. ever since the edits, ive had random points where the game would randomly lock up and give the "program has unexpectedly stopped working" and i have to debug or close. now i dont know if its my laptop dying OR if its an edit i chose, but seeing as i think im the only one mentioning this... its probably a me problem x.x

You must look first to the base of the effects : Metadata/Effects/Spells/blade_flurry/rig.aoc -> and here just empty the SkinMesh, and see how it goes.
The second path is for the particles used for the base effects : Metadata/Particles/blade_flurry -> and here for all three .pet files, just set to 0 the effects i described on the first page mini-tutorial.
I dunno, my head is spinning of so many possibilities...but i feel like i'm handicapped when my brain refuses to understand this C#...or any other language...))
I will see what can be done,
Thanks I followed your instructions from main post. I tried to do exactly everything you said. I'm not sold on that Blade flurry is Blade vortex.
I tried dancing daggers aswell with no luck. Could you please investigate this?
So, like before : Metadata/Effects/Spells/dancing_daggers...and from every .aoc file you need to remove the content of SkinMesh :
....and ofc, replace the files with your work.PHP Code:
Save the original folders somewhere to have a back up.
And on Metadata/Particles/dancing_daggers....just put 0 value on all 3 .pet files.
The skill now should be completely disabled....
After that, just add them back gradually..and test the skill until has 0 lag and looks cool .
Happy testing,

Thanks managed to get it to work.
Although I didnt want to remove the Skill totally, I tried all values in pet file on 0 and 0.1 to see if it helped. Did not seem to reduce the effects at all.
Worked on other skills then Blade Vortex to reduce the effects, Maybe there's something more then the particle duration , is infinite and emitter duration that has to be edited for this skill only?
Then I removed the Skinmesh ofc the skill was totally invisible.
Since there are 9 .aoc files for this skill is it ok to keep the original Skinmesh line for a few files instead of removing them all, to remove parts of the skill?

Whats GGG stance on 3rd party programs such as this that doesn't have any real benefit over other players beside better performance? aka does this break any specific rule like its not allowed to edit gamefiles?
also how do you make the program not enter in read-only?

....................without problems, lag, graphic lag, fps variations down to a mere 5, GPU screaming from an excessive heat (75++Celsius)...with your friends in party, ....
can you play this game even with a MONSTER rig ....and not having this headaches .... ?!???!?!
I doubt that. Even with a monster rig, the game refuses to run flawlessly, like other much more resource demanding games.
This tool should be used to ADD more effects to the game...not to remove them...
But because GGG is slow on improving the core ...we do what we can to have a pleasant game experience.
If they ban this tool...lol, i have 0 words to say.
Probably i will just say... "fuk this game"...and goodbye.
-- close the game if you want to edit anything...then restart the tool.

Ok, the haul this week was bigger than the previous, and being that I'm starting this post on Thursday, October 25th and have been in four states in the last seven days, I'm surprised. But I've really been into this Horror Movie-a-Thon this year. Maybe it's my way of dealing with being in Chicago for the Massacre at the Portage and DIDN'T GO (Linea Quigley? In person? Oh man*). Maybe I just love horror films and have found a way to work them into all of the quiet moments of my vacation (not too many of those). Seriously, Halloween and Autumn in general has always been my favorite time of the year and it's been two years since I've been able to enjoy the massive forests, the smell of burning leaves, the crispy (but not cold) temperatures and the sharp and sometimes sinister rains of my native Midwest so I guess this year I'm just really living it up, and Horror – though enjoyable as all hell year 'round – is the proverbial cherry on the sundae for my month-long celebration. I'm writing this over the course of the next week as I watch whatever movies happen my way, but you're reading this on Halloween itself, so let's get right into it so we can all go out and trash hous— ahem, I mean trick or TREAT!!!
Cabin in the Woods.
Back on the day this movie opened I was in San Francisco and mentioned seeing it while writing about my bay-area exploits here. I think my friend Michael said it best when he said, "If horror is a sandbox, Whedon and Goddard just scooped up all the toys for themselves." Seriously, the movie balances the horror/comedy line perfectly and the surprises – the surprises are expertly timed and behemoth. If we had to spend almost a decade with Saw as the only viable (*Hmmph*) horror franchise, it was indeed the darkest before the light. The potential to franchise this is there, with Guillermo del Toro supposedly interested right off the bat. Would that be a good thing? You may have noticed that I'm trying to avoid spoilers on this one (DON'T LOOK AT THE BOX FOR THE DVD!!!) but I don't think it's saying too much to say that there are soooo many things in that basement that we could have years of "previous incidents" to evaluate. No matter what comes of sequels the original was INSTANTLY a classic and a must-see for any horror fan.
From Dusk 'til Dawn
I had the unfortunate experience of watching Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk 'til Dawn – one of my favorite movies – on AMC's Fear Fest this week. I was in the midst of traveling through the Midwest and caught a night of cable tv at my wonderful inlaws' house. Now, Rodriguez's Grindhouse masterpiece (made a full ten years before the present-day Grindhouse-resurgence began), with all its bullets and gore and fangs and holy water condom balloons is a perfect film, but perhaps not for a regular-network cable station. The creme-de-la-creme came for me when even after all of the cuss words were poorly overdubbed and the breasts were dithered out, AMC felt the need to even change the name of the strip club, The Titty Twister, and add a digital "K" at the front of the building to make the ridiculous "Kitty Twister".
Despite that I still had a damn good time watching a young George Clooney (in his most badass role ever), a creepy Quentin Tarantino, a fatherly Harvey Keitel** and the always wonderful Juliette Lewis fight it out with a bar full of vampires. At least the copious amounts of blood and gore weren't too peeled back. (How exactly is it that the same network I watch Breaking Bad on sensors its featured movies? Oh well, one more reason I will never have cable).
I'd never seen this before and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. Growing up in the south Chicago suburbs, Cabrini Green was something that I was aware as but never dared go near. We'd drive to terrifyingly haunted Bachelor's Grove in a second but the gritty horror of reality is something much harder to come to terms with. And Candyman does a great job weaving these two elements, real horror and surreal horror – into something strange and visceral and oddly beautiful. Bernard Rose's adaptation of a Clive Barker story feels very 80's John Carpenter and that's not a bad thing. A lesser known and I think often dismissed gem that I highly recommend when you're in the mood for something to accompany Prince of Darkness, They Live or even Craven's A Serpent and The Rainbow.
And now we come to my picks for Halloween evening viewing. Trick or Treat and what else but the original, John Carpenter's Halloween.
Trick 'r Treat
Last week I talked about Creepshow, and no disrespect there, but Trick 'r Treat has to be my favorite anthology horror film by about a million miles. An obvious homage to Creepshow – as well as the entire 80's genre of Anthological Horror – Trick 'r Treat is really more fun than 'terrifying' as it boasts in its opening credits. But maybe that's just because it's a modern stab at something a lot of us grew up with. This is okay with me. In fact it's better than okay. It's another instant classic the first time you see it and there's really not too many of those. Writer/director Michael Dougherty's four tales and a wrap-around character that can't be beat bring the town of Warren Valley, Ohio to life in a literature-like way as we move up and down sidewalks and back alleys; in and out of yards and out to the surrounding meadows, sometimes by firelight and sometimes by Jack O' Lantern, always with an eerie feeling just at our back. Trick 'r Treat plays like a wonderful parable and an interesting warning. I know it's just a film but after watching it I went out and bought a pumpkin to carve. I love this annual tradition but had largely dismissed it this year due to traveling. However, Trick 'r Treat reminded me that I do think reality is what we choose to make it. Certain traditions make me feel more connected to the actual dirt and draft of this wonderful place we live and so I choose to keep Sam Hain's traditions alive and put a little protection out against the darkness – even if that very act seems to ensure that said darkness is there. Kept at bay it makes me feel a bit more… human?
Halloween – this one, man, where to start? Everything about this film is perfect and enigmatic and just alarming. Yes, that's a good word for it – alarming. The slow but not grueling introduction to Donald Pleasance's character and through him Michael Myers, Haddonfield, Laurie, her friends, etc. The build as the almost lilting-at-times and then deadly serious music – so simple yet so perfect – let's us in on not only Laurie and her mounting paranoia but Myers' own pervading psychotic obsession. This obsession is then emulated perfectly by the louder-than everything-else breathing that plays as the killer's only dialogue, a sound that really puts us the viewer behind that William Shatner mask. And in a truly terrifying film maybe that is what's the most terrifying of all, especially in scenes such as when Lynda and Bob are killed and the sound of the breathing almost makes you feel as though you're the one doing the killing! Eeewwww…
If the beginning takes its time building the culmination is as riveting as a film can get. From about the one-hour-and-fourteen-minute mark, when Michael first attacks and begins to hunt Laurie, everything really pumps full of blood. The initial scene where Laurie comes bounding around from the side of the house is a nice long continuous shot and that just adds to the absolute panic that comes through on the celluloid here. It really gives you a feel for the bedlam transpiring on screen. This is one of those sequences where I often notice my increased heart rate and breathing during.
Nice, eh?
Another fabulous thing is the lighting. The light on the couch where Laurie stabs Michael with the knitting needle is iconic beyond words, it's pitch dark surroundings serving to make an almost stage-like spotlight on the nightmare at hand. And speaking of Myers getting stabbed, I've always wondered – the way he constantly drops when hurt – it's almost robotic. Is he toying with his victims? Otherwise, it's so obtuse it almost looks robotic. Weird.
Okay, well, it's Halloween here in LALA land and though it must once again pass this year as every other I've attempted to enjoy my favorite night of the year all month long and had a hell of a lot of fun writing about it, so until next year, keep those Jack O' Lanterns lit!!!

United Airlines has launched 30% bonus MileagePlus promotion with select partners if you have not had transactions credited within the past 12 months.
The number of bonus miles that you can earn under this offer is capped at 25,000.
You can access and register for this offer here.
Note that this offer is only open for MileagePlus members in the US 50 states + DC.
Here are the eligible partners:
Car Rental
The conversion from Marriott Travel Package is not excluded under this offer per the T&C's below. You could get 157,000 MileagePlus miles for redeeming Travel Package (read more here and here) at the 120,000 miles level due to 10% RewardsPlus bonus and another 25,000 bonus under this offer.
Converting points from SPG makes no sense due to 2 Starpoints to 1 United miles ratio unlike 1:1 with most other partners. Is also makes more sense to earn Starpoints than airline miles with Starwood.
Hilton has the 1,500 bonus miles per night promotion (read more here) that would become 1,950 miles per night when you factor in the 30% bonus.

After years of fine tuning ways to enlist the immune system in the fight against cancer, immunotherapy has taken the field by storm, with a Nobel prize and a pair of blockbuster checkpoint drugs to boast. But can immune cells help in an even broader effort — flagging malignant tumors before they are detectable by traditional instruments?
Pushing the threshold of cancer diagnoses to earlier and earlier stages of the disease is one of the Holy Grails in oncology, inspiring multimillion-dollar investments into startups like Grail. This week, a team from Stanford has chipped in with their own pitch and some mouse data to show for it.
Pioneering a new definition of the concept "immunodiagnotics," Sanjiv "Sam" Gambhir of Stanford's Canary Center for Early Detection repurposed macrophages to report the presence of disease or damaged cells, achieving detection of tumors as small as 4 millimeters in diameter, outperforming "some of the most advanced early tumor detection methods out there."
Image: Sanjiv "Sam" Gambhir. Steve Fisch, STANFORD
His technique, reported in Nature Biotechnology, makes use of macrophages' innate ability to find (and eat) malfunctioning or dead cells. That's simple; the big challenge is to hack the process in a way such that these immune cells emit a detectable signal before they begin to feast.
To do that, Gambhir's team tagged a molecular marker to a gene promoter that awakens and activates the gene directing the macrophage onslaught in the presence of a tumor.
"The molecular marker is called Gaussia luciferase, and under certain chemical circumstances, it glows," Gambhir said in a statement. "So the idea is, we pick a gene that turns on when a macrophage senses a tumor cell, we link that gene's promoter to Gaussia luceriferase and finally, we integrate it into the macrophages."
Macrophages have been a key immune cell type of interest, attracting a number of biotechs to remove the "don't eat me" signal that tumors often deploy to prevent an attack.
There are, of course, limitations with the method. For one, macrophages don't just respond to cancerous targets, so a "hit" on this test represents a call for other, confirmatory tests rather than a definitive diagnosis. But the approach, which involves creating a synthetic biomarker, is a major departure from the traditional practice, which relies on identifying biomarkers in the body.
The synthetic nature of this technique means the strategy can be applied to multiple instruments and immune cells — all possibilities that Gambhir is exploring with his startup, Earli.
Moving forward, Gambhir plans to test the method in other types of cancers and animal models, while refining the technique to home in on just tumor cells, not cells with other types of damage.

Re: Online CommunityLUCKIEST Feb 24, 2009 5:45 PM (in response to Debonair1234)Online Community, Welcome
Two suggestions. If I wanted to start an Online Social Networking Site, I would develop both a Business and marketing Plan.
I would also contact SCORE online. SCORE is FREE and you can choose the counselor with the right background and they will answer you. SCORE also has a FREE Virtual Learning Center
Good luck, LUCKIEST
Re: Online CommunityVarlooDesign Feb 24, 2009 7:20 PM (in response to Debonair1234)Have you seen Ning? http://www.ning.com
I have worked extensively with it when I was working for a newspaper and it was great. Let me know if you need any help and I can help customize or point you in the right direction. Good luck,
nate ernst
Re: Online CommunityDebonair1234 Mar 2, 2009 3:30 PM (in response to VarlooDesign)I checked out Ning.com a while ago, but from my understanding you have to go through their url. I want to pretty much create my own site without using another websites name, if that makes sense..like Myspace for instance..
Re: Online CommunityVarlooDesign Mar 2, 2009 5:09 PM (in response to Debonair1234)You do have to go through their URL initially, but you can pay some nominal montly fee to have it all to yourself. You get access to the source code so you can edit anything and everything to suite your own needs and on your own URL. I think it is the best deal around.
Re: Online CommunityDebonair1234 Mar 2, 2009 8:01 PM (in response to VarlooDesign)Thanks for the information, I just went on their site again and looked up what you said and it looks like a great deal, my only question is would I be able to sell advertisment banners on the site, so I would be able to generate revenue rather than just spending money every month. Thank you, you have been a huge help!
Re: Online CommunityVarlooDesign Mar 2, 2009 9:36 PM (in response to Debonair1234)You should be able to sell ads. Even when you are under the ning domain, the ad revenue goes to you. I used Ning as part of a large news company (Gannett) and we actually used our own ad scripts inside the code since that's what we used on our other sites.
Let me know if I can help in any way (graphics, customization, etc) because I've worked with it quite a bit, my site is http://www.varloodesign.com
Re: Online CommunityDebonair1234 Mar 3, 2009 10:22 AM (in response to VarlooDesign)I will let you know most definite, because I know I would need someone to design the site, and make necessary changes and write scripts and programs for it.
Re: Online Communityvlakh01 Mar 2, 2009 6:44 PM (in response to Debonair1234)Hi there,
I think your idea for a social networking site is great – it is the single fastest growing segment on the web.
As far as ownership of the codes and scripts are concerned, I would recommend that you put together a contract in simple language highlighting that you are hiring them and that the work product is being paid for by you. A clause should also specify the ownership of the intellectual property that is created and specify you as the owner.
Don't make the mistake of assuming that copyright laws will protect you on this either –if you devise something unique and want to protect it, make sure that you have that mentioned in the contract as well.
When you begin looking for financing, incorporations and other issues relating to your business visit this forum and our website for tons of free resources.
Good luck.

Please Don't Refresh the Page
Made as a prequel to the hit film The Third Man, this radio show was created to follow the adventures of the popular character Harry Lime, played here, and in the movie, by Orson Welles.
The 1949 film The Third Man won an Academy Award and was an international success, called "magic" by Roger Ebert and "one of the finest films ever made" by the New York Times. Written by New York Times bestselling novelist Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed, the production starred Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins, an America who travels to postwar Vienna at the request of his old friend Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles. But it was the character of Harry Lime who nearly stole the show.
While living in London, Orson Welles became acquainted with producer Harry Alan Towers, who convinced Welles to appear in a radio series based on his character in The Third Man and to be titled The Lives of Harry Lime. Since Lime meets his end in the sewers of Vienna in the movie, Towers, with Welles' involvement, decided to make the radio show a prequel.
Produced in England and recorded in London's IBC Studios, The Lives of Harry Lime had an authentic continental flavor, with adventures taking place in such exotic locales as Paris, Rome, Venice, Tangiers, and the French Riviera.
Thanks to brilliant scripts, expertly performed by Welles and a stock company of talented actors, the underworld activities of Harry Lime and his always-questionable associates make for great entertainment. "Welles brings a mischievous portrayal to life to the delight of many, even writing a few of these shows himself. All most enjoyable half hours, they are definitely a case of rooting for the bad guy to win."-JohnBrown.tv

How to make yourself a diet. Example menu for the week. The principles of building the training process, the best exercises.
Gaining muscle mass for girls is a rare and difficult task. The reverse version is more common when a woman plans to lose weight. The apparent opposite of goals should not be confused – they are connected. To lose weight, you need muscles, which become the main tool in getting rid of fat. But which diet to follow? What should be the training plan? What are the rules to follow?
The main principles of diet
The first thing to start with is to calculate the energy consumed and consumed. It is believed that to gain mass, the body should receive 250-300 kcal more than it spends during the day.
The ratio of fats, carbohydrates and proteins deserves special attention. If you want to build muscle, the indicators should be as follows:
- fats – 20%;
- carbohydrates – 40%;
- proteins – 40%.
The menu should definitely include meat (should be low-fat), cottage cheese, eggs, cereals, fruits, herbs, milk and so on (we will discuss the proper diet below). It is not worth removing fats from the diet – they help in the matter of creating the desired figure.
The frequency of nutrition is 5-6 times a day. The main thing is to consume 65-70% of the daily diet before 4 pm. It is worth considering a number of points:
- Fast carbohydrates (juices, sweets) are permissible, but only after leaving the gym and in a scanty volume.
- 6-8 glasses of water should be ingested daily.
- Due to the lack of vitamins, the intake of sports complexes is required.
- There should be enough protein in the diet.
- Cooking is done only on steam or in the oven. Grill is allowed, but only a "home sample".
- Reception of chips, convenience foods and other harmful products. They add cellulite to the legs and sides, but in no way contribute to the gain in muscle mass. Moreover, traces of cellulite in the abuse of such products appear even in slim women.
The nuances of training
Without the right workout plan, dieting is useless. At the same time, you should not be afraid that the muscles are pumped and disfigure the appearance. Without special injections and additives, this risk is minimal. The main "builder" of the muscles is testosterone, which women have in meager. This means that sports load is aimed only at adjusting muscle volume, but not at all to increase.
The principles of training are as follows:
- Muscles should rest for at least a day.
- Long workouts should be discarded – 50-60 minutes is enough to achieve results.
- Do not be afraid to lift heavy weights – the muscles should get a load.
- Perform 10-15 reps and 3-5 sets.
- Organize your workout so that the exercise in the first approach is done faster and with less weight. In the first set, the number of repetitions should be 12-15, and in the last – 8-10.
- The load increases with each subsequent approach.
- The training plan should be adjusted (completely changed) once every 2 months.
- Sports supplements are allowed to be included in the diet. The main thing is that the composition contains pure protein (protein, bcaa, amino acids). To determine the correct option, it is worth consulting with a specialist.
Diet for weight gain: day after day
Below is a one-week diet that can be extended for another 7-14 days jump rope for cardio bodybuilding. The volume of products in grams is not indicated, since in each case there is an individual approach (a lot depends on the constitution of the body, mass, tasks and other factors).
Diet for girls (the goal is to gain weight):
- 1 day . After awakening, it is allowed to satisfy hunger with white chicken meat (the breast is suitable) and rice. To add taste, it is allowed to season the tofu dish and drink it with juice. After two or three hours comes the second breakfast, which should be light. Walnuts (20-30 grams) and orange are allowed here. At lunchtime, the body should get the maximum of healthy products – it is worth boiling the beans and season it with onions or garlic. Chicken meat (breasts, legs) and 1-2 tomatoes are allowed. At 3-4 o'clock in the afternoon the appetite should be "killed" with a fresh apple and yogurt. In the evening, enough fish (boiled, stewed) and a salad of vegetables.
- 2 day . Here the diet is changing. In the morning, a pair of soft-boiled eggs and oatmeal are enough (make it in milk for satiety). Add all this with juice and yogurt. After a couple of hours, have a bite of kiwi, and for lunch, satisfy your hunger with salad, fish and corn porridge. At 15: 00-16: 00 you should eat a serving of berries, drink a glass of kefir and eat cottage cheese. Make dinner light – 100-200 grams of turkey and salad.
- 3 day . After waking up, eat a serving of pasta with meat and turkey. In the role of the drink is grapefruit juice. Lunch – cottage cheese and banana. At lunchtime, give the body a hearty meal – buckwheat, canned peas, beef chops and tomato. The second lunch (afternoon snack) – berries and protein shake. For dinner, make cottage cheese casserole and salad.
- 4 day . In the morning "crush" hunger with beef liver. Also eat oatmeal, cucumber and tomato salad. After a couple of hours, make an impromptu "salad" of dried apricots and cashews (they need to be mixed 30-40 grams each). For lunch, cook the meat in the oven. It is worth eating boiled rice and pumpkin. 2-3 hours after lunch, it is allowed to suppress appetite with protein bread and apples. Dinner – seaweed and stewed fish.
- 5 day . Immediately after lifting, drink a glass of juice, make an omelet and cook buckwheat. Second breakfast – cottage cheese and corn. At lunchtime, give your body an extra serving of protein in the form of turkey, Greek salad, and pea soup. After 2-3 hours, have a snack with fruit (orange, mandarin). Do not lean on food before going to bed. Chicken breast (boiled) and fresh salad are allowed.
- 6 day . In the morning, make porridge for a couple (any) and beef patties. As a drink, grapefruit juice is suitable. After 2-3 hours, quench the appetite with curd mass with the addition of banana. For lunch, treat yourself to buckwheat with ham and salad. After some time (at noon) eat yogurt and kiwi. In the evening, select fish (to be steamed) and salad.
- 7 day . Start your day with a lentil paste, oatmeal porridge and fresh cucumber and tomato salad. For lunch, you are allowed to eat an orange and hazelnuts (30 grams, not more). At lunchtime, please the stomach with wheat porridge, beef (only cook) and canned peas. After 2-3 hours, when hunger overtakes, it is allowed to eat an apple and drink a glass of kefir. In the evening, cook chicken wings and salad.
Weight gain rules
To achieve muscle growth, you should follow simple rules:
- Raise the calorie level. Stop thoughtlessly eating and read what is written on the labels. It is important to know how many calories the body receives per day. When the training plan becomes more complicated, it is worth raising the calorie content to cover the deficit in nutrients. In addition, it is worth monitoring the amount of incoming protein – it should be about 2 grams per kilogram of weight. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee stable growth.
- Reduce cardio loads. When recruiting, it is worth minimizing aerobic exercise. It is enough to run or ride a bike once or twice a week. The duration of the lesson is 20-30 minutes, no more. If you are active in the issue of cardio, then the muscles "burn out". But to exclude such loads from the training program is also not worth it – without them, one cannot achieve endurance and strengthen the heart muscle.
- Lean on weight, not repetition. Do not "drive" 18-20 reps in one approach (this is superfluous). 8-12 repetitions are enough . As for the weight of the load, it should grow with each subsequent set. In this case, do not stretch the workout in time. It should last no more than an hour .
- Training program is a component of success. Without it, you should not count on the result. Each lesson should work out a specific muscle group. Training is planned taking into account the tasks set, the frequency of classes is 3-5 times a week. The focus is on exercises such as lunges, squats, deadlifts, etc.
- Stretching After completing your workout, remember the importance of stretching. High-quality massage and stretching work to create an ideal body that is resistant to unforeseen injuries and able to recover quickly even after exhausting loads.
- The regularity of meals. The body should receive food 5-6 times a day (this can be seen from the nutrition program discussed above). The time between meals is up to 3 hours, no more. Skipping receptions is not welcome. If necessary, you should always have a container of food with you, take it to study or work. Plan your diet so that the day includes three main meals and 2-3 snacks. At the same time, uniformity is the enemy of mass gain. The more actively foods in the diet change, the better.
- A variety of workouts. It's worth changing not only food, but also the training program. You can't "stay too long" on the same exercises. Try to change the lesson plan once every 2 months. It is allowed to change the split, the inclusion of new exercises, more rest and so on. To know whether the training gives results or not, be sure to make entries in the diary.
- Set goals and achieve them. Try to give all your best during class. If you are in the gym, then work in each approach 100%.
- Protein shakes, which contain a sufficient amount of fast or slow proteins, are just a plus. Reception time – in the morning before breakfast, 20-30 minutes before the start of classes or after leaving the gym. A good option is a gainer, which contains up to 60 percent of complex carbohydrates.
Required exercises
To ensure a stable mass gain, the girls training program should include the following exercises:
- Squats. Any experienced athlete will confirm that squats must be present when typing. In this case, 5-6 muscle groups are involved, including the abdominal press, back, legs, arms and others. By its effectiveness, squats can only be compared with deadlifts. But there are possible contraindications (back problems, pain in the knee joints and so on). As for the girls, this exercise for greater stability should be done with legs spaced a little wider than the shoulders. The main task is to develop the hips and buttocks.
- Deadlift (or Romanian) is a basic exercise, which is considered the main thing in the matter of mass gain. It is allowed to remove it from the training process only for a good reason – because of hemorrhoids, back injury, with high intra-abdominal pressure. If there are no contraindications, then the thrust should be in the program. Its advantage is the connection to the work of several major and auxiliary muscle groups. This exercise is universal and suitable for everyone.
- Leg press in the simulator . Pros – the study of the back and front of the thigh. This is another basic exercise that should be part of the training program. Unlike squats, where the load falls on the spine, it is not here. Therefore, the leg press is suitable for problems with the back.
- Lunges – an exercise that can load the quadriceps and biceps of the thigh, capturing the gluteal muscles. It is believed that lunges guarantee the desired shape of the buttocks and legs. To increase the load, dumbbells or a bar are used. At the initial stage, the exercise is done without load. A good option is to work in the Smith simulator.
- The pull of the vertical block to the chest . It is rarely possible to find a girl who is capable of raising her body at least once to the horizontal bar. And the reason is not weight, but the lack of sufficient strength in the hands. The problem is easily solved with the help of vertical traction. The advantage is the ability to control weight. At the same time, the necessary muscle groups of the biceps, forearm and back are connected to the work. You can't ignore the exercise – it must be in the program.
- Dumbbell bench press sitting . The main idea is to work out triceps and deltas. But in addition to these muscles, the upper chest and trapezium receive a load. The main thing is to strictly observe the technique and not abuse the weight.
- Other exercises . In addition to the above, it is worthwhile to include lifting dumbbells for biceps, stretching the dumbbell from the head to the triceps, working out calves, hyperextension and lifting for the press.
The issue of gaining muscle mass by girls is solved without problems. The main thing is to approach the process of achieving the goal comprehensively, that is, to draw up the right diet, think out a training program and be focused on the result.
