Why You Should Avoid The Most Popular Lottery Numbers
There is so much more to lottery numbers than just arbitrary picks. For many they are a collection of people's most significant numbers and are deeply personal choices. Others carefully wade through reams of lottery information to carefully select the most frequently chosen numbers, while some put their faith in blind luck and opt for random selections and lucky dips.
If you are one of those people who tends to go with a selection of tried and tested numbers, then you may just have been making a classic mistake. Those who opt for the most popular lottery numbers should be very wary, as there is a whole host of pitfalls that come with them.
The Most Popular Lottery Numbers
Everyone who participates in the lottery does so with the aim of winning a vast sum of money, so it goes without saying that if your numbers come up, you won't want to be sharing with too many other people. This is where the biggest problem with selecting the most popular lottery numbers arises. In the UK the following numbers have been drawn the most: 23, 40, 38, 33, 30, 25. For Euromillions, the most popular number is 50, followed by 44, 19, 4 and 30 and the most common extra numbers have been 8 and 3. Many players therefore use these same numbers, despite no set of number being mathematically more (or indeed less) likely than any other combination to come out of the machine.
Of course if one of those combinations should ever tumble out one Wednesday or Saturday evening, unless the jackpot is something unusually large, chances are the jackpot will end up being shared between with hundreds, if not thousands, of others. When you have just beaten odds of millions to one, you don't want to see that multi-million-pound sum to be split so many ways that you walk off with mere thousands.
Avoid Under Thirties
No, that's not dating advice, rather a sure-fire way to avoid popular numbers. Studies have shown that many lotto players base their numbers on important birthdays. As no month has more than 31 days, 32 and over are frequently disregarded.
Picking a mix of numbers over and under 31 will lessen your chances of sharing that all-important jackpot.
The origin of seven being a lucky number dates back to numerous ancient civilisations, in countries across the world. It's popularity as a symbol of good fortune remains today, and it is amongst the most popular numbers.
At the time of writing it is one of the most overdue numbers in the UK Lotto (note: this is unavailable at Lottoland), but you can be sure when it does appear next, it'll feature on a lot of people's picks.
The number 13 is a much maligned number, as it is seen as unlucky in many cultures and players are wary of putting it into their lotto lines in case it jeopardises everything. Despite its negative connotations, statistically the chance of it being drawn is no higher, or lower, than any number.
But here's the spooky thing, thanks to a huge Lottoland study we can indeed confirm that 13 is the least frequently drawn ball across not 1, but 8 international lotteries!
Still, if your line does include it, and it's picked, you can be sure you're going to be one of very few people who included this seemingly cursed number.
The University of Southampton have run several studies on the lottery; in 1998 they revealed that 7 was 25% more likely to be chosen over any other number.
More recently they announced that the sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6 is chosen by approximately 10,000 people each week. If those are your numbers, and they come up, your share of a £5 million jackpot would therefore be just £500.
So, What Numbers Do I Pick?
Ultimately, winning the lotto is largely down to luck, but there are a number of things you can do to improve your chances of not only winning, but ensuring you don't compromise your potential winnings. Be creative with your numbers, go off the beaten track for your selections to make sure they're not just personal, but unique. Alternatively just click the Quick+1 button for fully-random, computer-generated quick picks.
Either way, it's good to mix things up and change your approach. So why not test your new and improved numbers when you bet on this week's jackpot.

"Distribution of the arbuscular mycorrhizal biomarker C16:1cis11" by Maria S. Grigera, Rhae A. Drijber et al.
Published in Soil Biology & Biochemistry 39 (2007) 1589–1596. Copyright 2007 Elsevier Ltd. Used by permission.
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi form symbiotic relationships with the majority of land plants and are known for their positive effects on plant P acquisition and soil quality. The extramatrical growth of the mycelium is a key factor in nutrient acquisition by the symbiont. Soil grinding and extraction/fractionation of lipids were used in a field experiment to identify probable sources of the AM biomarker C16:1cis11 and its functional significance during reproductive growth of corn (Zea mays L.). Chambers, enclosed with a 1mm mesh fabric to allow roots and hyphae to pass into the enclosed soil volume, were installed in two field sites cropped to continuous corn in central Nebraska. The chambers were installed at tasselling and removed after 3, 6 and 9 weeks. Soil from the chambers was analyzed by ester-linked fatty acid (EL-FAME) and chloroform–methanol fatty acid (CM-FAME) analysis. We also separated and analyzed the neutral lipid (NLFA), glycolipid (GLFA) and phospholipid (PLFA) fatty acid fractions. Roller milling the soil gave up to two-fold increases in the recovery of EL- and CM-FAMEs common to saprophytic fungi (C16:0, C18:1cis9, C18:2cis9,12) and AM fungi (C16:0, C16:1cis11, C18:1cis11) but not those specific to bacteria or fauna. Resistant AM fungal structures were enriched in NLFA and GLFA C16:1cis11, but not PLFA, indicating that storage lipids and possibly cell-wall lipids are released by roller milling. Similar proportional increases in C16:1cis11 on roller milling indicates that mild alkaline hydrolysis (EL-FAME) is as inefficient as chloroform–methanol (CM-FAME) in extracting lipids from AM spores. EL- and CM-FAME C16:1cis11 increased by one-third between R5 and R6, indicating C allocation from the plant to the AM fungus during the reproductive stages of corn. This increase was attributed to accumulation of NLFA and GLFA in lipid-containing structures of the extramatrical mycelium and AM structures within roots, not increased sporulation. We propose EL-FAME C16:1cis11 as a simple measure of AM biomass in soils that largely reflects the AM hyphal network important to nutrient acquisition by the plant.

Miami didn't have much luck in Gainesville a few weeks ago in a 26-3 loss to the Gators.
The Hurricanes' fortunes in the area got a little better this week when Lafayette's all-state receiver/defensive back Jamal Reid gave them a commitment.
"I like the coaching staff, the football program and it's a good school academically," said Reid, who has been told he will be either a safety or cornerback at UM. "The coaches really showed me a lot of attention, and I want to be a Hurricane."
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Reid said his final decision came down to Miami, Clemson, South Florida and Maryland.
Reid said the possibility exists he could change his mind, adding "it will be official when the season is over with."
However, he followed that by saying, "Right now, I've made up my mind. I think I'm going to be a Hurricane."
Reid is the fourth local Division-I commitment this season. Previously, Dixie County running back Rodney Scott (Auburn), Buchholz offensive lineman Jordan Weingart (West Virginia) and Gainesville offensive lineman Kendall Kelly (USF) announced their decisions.


The Code of Canon Law upholds theology, it and therefore is not independent or parallel to what we believe. The Code says that one who is "equivalent to the Diocesan Bishop in law" includes those designated by the pope to shepherd, in his name, a territorial prelature or a territorial abbacy (canons 370 and 371).
Curious, the NewsLetter of the U.S. Bishops Committee on Divine Worship for March 2013, points out that, "It is important to note that the reference to an abbot is not to all abbots, but only an abbot nullius diœceseos (i.e., attached to no diocese) (cf. CIC, canon 370). Such abbots have responsibility not only for their particular abbey, but a certain defined territory beyond the abbey as well. There are only eleven such territorial abbacies still in existence (six in Italy, two in Switzerland, and one each in Austria, Hungary, and North Korea; (cf. Annuario Pontificio 2012)." The Churches in North America (the USA and Canada) we do not have an abbot nullius, that is, no more territorial abbacies. The last one in the USA was Belmont Abbey and the last in Canada was St Peter's Abbey.
This would apply also to a conventual prior of a community.
So, the matter seems to be closed.


NEW YORK � Sometimes one breakfast isn�t enough. So why not sneak in a second? Or third?
On-the-go Americans increasingly are consuming their morning calories over several hours instead of sitting down to devour a plate of pancakes, bacon and eggs in one sitting. The case of the morning munchies is being fueled by the belief that it�s healthier to eat several smaller meals instead of three squares a day.
General Mills, Quaker Oats and others are adding to their lineup of breakfast bars and yogurts. Sara Lee�s Jimmy Dean this summer introduced mini breakfast sandwiches. And fast-food chains like McDonald�s in recent years have expanded their breakfast menus to include morning snacks like smoothies and a fruit-and-walnut pack.
The deconstruction of breakfast is happening as more Americans eat their meals outside of the home. After all, it�s easier and less time-consuming to pop a few snacks in your purse or backpack for later rather than to sit down for a big meal.
Market researcher The NPD Group estimates that the number of times people snack in the mornings will jump 23 percent between 2008 and 2018.
Marketing morning snacks is tricky, though. That�s because mornings are a time when people generally want to feel virtuous about their eating habits.
There�s no definitive ruling on whether spreading calories over multiple smaller meals is better than three square meals a day. But experts say all the extra snacking throughout the day could lead to expanding waistlines.
Food companies nevertheless are betting on Americans� willingness to take their snacking habit into the morning hours. Kraft this month is launching an advertising campaign for its MilkBite granola bars, which the company says provide the same amount of calcium as a glass of milk.
General Mills introduced its 140-calorie Fiber One bars in just two flavors in 2007. Since then, the company has introduced three new flavors as well as 90-calorie versions of the bars.

Is this the best Swiss watch you can get for less than a grand?
Editor's note: Many (many) times we're asked to recommend a 'good' watch at the roughly $1000 price point. The Tissot Visodate, one of the brand's staple heritage pieces, is always high on the list. It's not a new release, but that doesn't mean it isn't an incredible piece of kit.
Here at Time+Tide we spend a goodly amount of time talking about the latest watch releases. Well, this isn't one of those times. Instead, today we're talking about a stone-cold classic that's as good today as when it was first released – the Tissot Visodate.
The Visodate is an historical reissue of a mid-century watch that was novel for its inclusion of – wait for it – the mighty (and occasionally maligned) date window. While these days the date is de rigueur, it's easy to forget that back in the day it was a big deal. The re-release honours the original not just in the snazzy name but also with a date display that's deliberate in its style and placement. For me, though, the charm of the Visodate extends well beyond this complication. The case shape, the opaline dial finish, the arrowhead markers. All perfectly on point for a dressy vintage classic. And this version on a Milanese mesh strap only adds to the old-school charm. All this for under $1000 – it's hard to go wrong.


The old Barguzinsky Cemetery is a monument of federal significance and is located in the centre of the Barguzin settlement in the Barguzinsky District, the Republic of Buryatia.
The first mentioning of the old Barguzinsky Cemetery dates back to 1798. The old Barguzinsky Cemetery first appeared on the map of Barguzin in 1798. In those days Barguzin was a small settlement of 18 homesteads and a Cossack garrison. It had two churches, the Church of the Saviour dating to 1649 and the Transfiguration church dating to 1756.
There were no streets or any planned site development in Barguzin in those days, but the cemetery was located in a nice sunlit place behind the settlement.
In 1840 the cemetery was divided into two sections, Jewish and Orthodox burial grounds.
The oldest burial places are found in the Orthodox section. We have managed to locate 1113 burial places, the oldest of them dates back to 1815. The most significant for the history of Barguzin are the tombs of M.K. Kuchelbecker, Z.F. Svatosh and political convicts. These tombs can be seen by visitors to the old Barguzinsky Cemetery.
In 1925 the cemetery was divided into 4 parts. The northern part was allocated to Jewish graves. The central part was reserved for adherents of different creeds, unbaptized infants and the so called 'snowdrops', escaped convicts who met their death in taiga. The southern left-hand part was intended to bury Orthodox Christians while the southern right-hand part was allocated to formerly people of other creeds who had adopted Orthodoxy.

Q: Update MySQL through objective-c I'm making a 'post text' app and trying to update my database with name and body field. The obj-c code looks like this:
- (IBAction)post:(id)sender
{

    NSLog(@"%@", name);
    NSLog(@"%@", body);
    // create string contains url address for php file, the file name is post.php, it receives parameter :name
    NSString *strURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.mywebsite.com/post.php?name=%@&body=%@",name, body];

    // to execute php code
    NSData *dataURL = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:strURL]];

    // to receive the returend value
    NSString *strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataURL encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    NSLog(@"%@", strResult);
}

And the php code looks like this:
<?php

if (isset($_REQUEST['name']) && isset($_REQUEST['body']) && strlen($_REQUEST['name']) > 0 && strlen($_REQUEST['body']) > 0) {
    //get data
    $title = $_REQUEST['name'];
    $body = $_REQUEST['body'];

    mysql_connect("MyServer","username","password") or die(mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db("Database_Name") or die(mysql_error());

    $date = date("Y-m-d");

    //insert data
    $insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO news VALUES ('','".mysql_real_escape_string($title)."','".mysql_real_escape_string($body)."','".mysql_real_escape_string($date)."')") or die(mysql_error());

    die("Your text has been posted!");
}

?>

Sometimes it works to post through the app but then it just post (null) as name and null as body. But for the most part it doesn't work at all. It just says in the log:
    2012-06-26 16:54:49.893 AppName[12444:707]
<UITextField: 0x17a390; frame = (63 76; 194 31); text = 'MyName';
clipsToBounds = YES; opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x17a4c0>>

A: Taking a wild guess here but are name and body pointers to a UITextField object? I'm thinking they might be, based on your log output. If so, you need to use [name text] or name.text to get the actual NSString value from the text field.

We expect the formation of collateralized loan obligations to remain a positive technical driver for loan demand through 2019.
We believe that as the Federal Reserve raises rates, future loans will have higher coupons, which the market should anticipate.
We have a positive outlook on corporate fundamentals. This, coupled with the low volume of loans maturing through 2020 and high rates of refinancing, should help keep default rates below historic averages.
At the end of 2018, loans in our portfolios averaged historically robust interest coverage ratios.

And why I wouldn't be selling Starbucks stock.
Shares of coffee retailer Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) are trading lower on Friday after the company reported weaker-than-expected revenue for its second fiscal quarter of 2016. Revenue was up 9.4% compared to the year-ago quarter, reaching $4.99 billion. This was just barely shy of a consensus analyst estimate for revenue of $5.03 billion. Shares are down about 6% at the time of this writing.
But is the market overreacting? Here are 10 reasons why the company's results looked solid despite the market's pessimistic reaction.
9%: Starbucks' 9% year-over-year revenue growth wasn't slow by any means. Sure, it's slower than the company's nearly 14% year-over-year growth in the trailing 12 months before Q2, but in a market where many restaurants and retailers are struggling to grow revenue, it's still impressive.
18%: It's easier to forgive Starbucks' slight miss on its top line when you take into consideration how meaningfully the company's bottom line increased during the quarter. EPS was up 18% in Q2 compared to the year-ago quarter, and in line with analysts' expectations.
18% (again): Starbucks' expansion to China is looking like a hit. Revenues in the market were up 18% compared to the year ago quarter. And transactions in the market were up 5%.
7%: Same-store sales were up 7% in the U.S., highlighting Starbucks' consistent ability to get more bang for its buck at established stores even in its highly saturated U.S. market. For comparison, consider Dunkin' Brands comparable Dunkin' Donuts store sales decline in the U.S. of 0.8% in its most recent quarter, or its paltry 1.4% growth in the metric in the full year of 2015.
900,000 new members joined Starbucks Loyalty program during Q4, up 16% from the year-ago quarter and 8% sequentially. This brings total active users of the consumer goods giant's loyalty program to 12 million.
22%: Loyalty members are spending 22% more than they were in the year-ago quarter, continuing to highlight how engaged Starbucks customers using the company's mobile applications spend more money than average customers.
17.3%: Starbucks investors can bask in the company's ongoing improving profitability. The company's operating margin hit a record 17.3% in Q2, representing a 30 basis point improvement compared to the year-ago quarter.
$864 million: A record operating margin combined with the company's highest revenues of any non-holiday quarter drove record operating income of $864 million.
Despite the market's skittish response to Starbucks' second-quarter report, the company isn't giving investors any solid reason to sell. Indeed, a sell-off is making the stock look a bit more enticing.


Dianabol is manufactured under quite a few brands. Some of the very well known ones are: Crazybulk, British Dragon, Jelfa, Alpha Pharm, Anabolics, Geneza and so on. They have a very fast effect as they kinder directly to the liver. The Oral Dianabol dosage is called the "17 Alpha-Alkylated" steroid. This means, these oral dosages contain certain specific chemicals that make them fit to be consumed from the mouth.
A Dianabol cycle is about taking them for a specific period of time. This is basically dependent on your age gender and the general state of your health. For, this does not only involve the consumption of this steroid but also about giving a break to it for a minimum period, and then restart its use thereby. This chalked out cycle ensures the maximum positive effect of Dianabol in tonificar y fortalecer los músculos and also the reduction of any possible side-effects of it. The stoppage is called the PCT or the post stoppage Therapy.
It's raining health awareness all across and around- also raining so! The most preferred topic even for an idle talk, the favorite topic of the big TV reality show, or the subject covered in the supplement of the week-end edition of your daily paper. It's all there and spreading. The time is a witness to this phenomenon- whether in parks of the city corporation, the abandoned playgrounds in the vicinity. And the "action" manifestation is not merely confined to the early morning walkers or the evening stroll mongers, it's finding a cyclist in as weird an hour as 12.30 the afternoon too zooming for a calorie burn spree. And he/she is not the traffic rule flouter as that very look on the face reveals. Also, is a major change is the "variety" of the health conscious.
Now, the question of eyeing a physically attractive body is not to be triggered by the nod of the doctor, but by the catching of whiff of the "what's in-vogue actor. This is a mentionable point, as the common concept regarding steroids is that it has to be recommended by the doctor- a prescription is but necessary. So, even though these are steroids per say, yet your usage or procurement is no way dependent on the green signal by your physician.

Ever been on the vent server listening to a new guildie explain how awesome his characters are? I just tuned out and realised he asked me how many 80s I had a few minutes ago, but all I noticed was the drone of squeaky noise had stopped.
I like alts, its just that night…urrgh.
Hell, I will laugh anyway… but yeah… you cared about Gnomeaggedon.. you telling me you don't care about Squidly?
Hang on.. you did care about Gnomeaggedon didn't you?
You've got to apply the "not an asshat" filter to the comments. Anyone who I like is totally beyond these otherwise hurtful statements – and Gnomer; you are totally beyond reproach in my opinion. I like Squidilidility-do the alt on principal that he's yours.
Oh and I hate Naxx "gearing" runs for the mate of a mate; who only needs 14 drops.
My vanity PETS – are NOT vain!!!!!!! They're purty and do cool stuff – and stuff!!!

I think blizz should let some of them do cool stuff in raids – like Eggbert, he pretend pulls all the time – vanity pet who misdirects and pulls aggro?? BOOYA!

A Decade In Film
A Decade In Horror: Halloween Special – The Eighties
22/10/2014 Owen Hughes	2 Comments
It's October! The leaves on the trees are turning brown, it's getting darker earlier in the evening and folks are rummaging through their DVD collections, looking for their favourite horror films to watch in time for Halloween. As such, every week this month will see us expand on our Decade In Film series with a spin off article focussing on five horror films from the sixties, the seventies, the eighties, the nineties and the noughties! The format will be much the same as our regular series, but with a slight twist.
They're heeeeeeerrrrreeeeeee. Owen, Mike, Andrew, Paul and Liam that is, who are back with yet another Decade In Horror! This time, the gory splatter-filled eighties is under the microscope.
Yuppies, wealth, greed, Thatcherism, consumerism, social realism, neoliberalism, capitalism and many other isms. All words and phrases synonymous with the 1980's. Money and politics defined the era in the UK, whilst across the pond horror films had grown more popular than ever before. From the camp and ethereal horrors of the sixties, to the mainstream success of films such as Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Exorcist and Alien in the seventies, horror only had one avenue left to turn to. It became fun. A self awareness of the excesses of the decade seeped through to the genre as it began to poke fun at itself. Over the top levels of gore, grotesque melting rubber prosthetics and lift-fulls of blood were everywhere you turned. Whilst the dreaded word "franchise" reared its ugly mutated head, there was still space for the more intelligent horror. Although, Kubrick's The Shining was but a mere distraction amongst the picnic hampers of evil twins, voodoo practising murderous children's dolls and head-exploding psychic wars. First up on our list of favourites is this film from 1982…
Poltergeist (1982)
"Cross over children. All are welcome. All welcome. Go into the Light. There is peace and serenity in the Light."
No list of 1980s horror would be complete without Poltergeist. It's up there with The Shining for permeating modern culture and having the most recognisable, commonly used references. How many times have we heard "They're Hee-re" parodied in other works?
It introduced a generation to the word and the concept of a Poltergeist as a spirit attaching itself to an individual person and, although it has its faults and technical shortcomings, there's still an awful lot to like about it.
An ordinary family have their lives turned upside down when strange things start happening around the house. At first they seem fairly benign but they soon turn extremely sinister.
The sheer normalness of the targeted family gives the "It could happen to you" element and the fact that person most in peril throughout the entire ordeal is a young child adds another level of emotional reaction.
Zelda Rubenstein, as Tangina the psychic is extremely good. The best performance of the film aside from the children. The main fault, in my opinion, is JoBeth Williams as the mother of the imperilled youngster. Her acting during the early part of the film seems worse with each viewing. Thankfully, she does get better as the film warms up and the pressure mounts on her character.
Poltergeist is certainly worth seeing and revisiting once in a while.
by Liam (@ElmoreLTM)
"Whether we make it or not, we can't let that Thing freeze again. Maybe we'll just warm things up a little around here. We're not gettin' outta here alive. But neither is that Thing."
More nostalgia as we reach the 80's, as after Jaws the next most notable scare from my childhood was on a babysitting trip in 1983 with my mum. This family friend had something I craved, I wanted, I adored but surely would never be able to afford. Adjusted for inflation, these things would run to several thousand pounds today. A (Betamax) Video Cassette Player… with a copy of John Carpenter's The Thing!
Rewatched many times, and again this week, it still holds up. The practical effects are simply brilliant for a film that is over 30 years old. The cast are all capable actors, the setting is utterly genius. Claustrophobia, tension, jump scares and effects driven gory mayhem, the dogs writhing and squirming in slime covered deformity, the head sprouting legs and being both horrific and funny… and that scene…
I can't look at a defibrillator being used today without expecting the recipients chest to open up and bite off the arms to the elbows and fountains of blood to gush forth. I have never been or will ever be so terrified as I was that night as a just-turned 13 year old. Well played, Carpenter. Well played.
by Paul Field (@pafster)
Day of the Dead (1985)
"I'm runnin' this monkey farm now, Frankenstein, and I wanna know what the fuck you're doin' with my time! 'cause if we're just jerkin' off here, I'm gonna have my men blow the piss out of those precious specimens of yours, and we're gonna get the hell out of here, and leave you and your highfalutin asshole friends to rot in this stinkin' sewer! Is that food enough for ya?"
When deciding on my choice for this list, I was torn between two films. Both of which are semi-sequels to George A Romero's previous zombie film, Dawn of the Dead, as chosen in our seventies Decade In Horror article. It came down to either Fulci's magnificent Zombie Flesh Eaters, or this. In the end, I thought about which I'd rather didn't make the cut as opposed to which I love more, and thus Day of the Dead won.
I absolutely adore this final piece in Romero's original Dead Trilogy. In my opinion, it has the best soundtrack from any horror film, something I'm listening to right now as I write this! But it's probably Romero's most intelligent movie. It switches things around as the humans become less humane and the zombies start to learn morality. Or, at the very least, instead of them simply being terrifying mindless hungry ghouls (as per Night of the Living Dead), or a snide joke (as per Dawn of the Dead), you're meant to feel sorry for them. Given a chance, they could learn to be integrated back into society. They can learn. Or…. not. They might just choke as they chow down on your internal organs.
It has great characters and performances, perhaps none more so than Joe Pilato as the hot headed sergeant Rhodes. Romero also keeps up a tradition of having a black heroic central male character (Terry Alexander) and strong female lead. Lori Cardille as Sarah, struggling to stay sane between working on her research and coping with her PTSD suffering soldier-boyfriend, carries the film brilliantly. I also can't talk about performances without mentioning Sherman Howard's role as Bub, the saluting, pistol whipping, walkman wearing zombie. An iconic character in the genre; he even pops up as a cameo in The Walking Dead! Everything about this movie is fantastic. Everything.

"It lives, out in those woods, in the dark. Something, something that's come back from the dead."
The first Evil Dead is a masterpiece. An ultra-violent horror filmed on an ultra-low budget. Branded a "Video Nasty" and achieving near instant cult status, it is a film that should stand proud in any film lover's collection. But The Evil Dead isn't my favourite horror film from the 80's. No, it's Sam Raimi's half sequel, half remake that gets my nod.
In the 80's, when everyone was going for more blood and more gore, Raimi brought something interesting to the table. Something to cut through the tension and the scares, something to soften the shovel blows. Comedy. Real laugh out loud humour.
Evil Dead II sees our returning hero Ash (Bruce Campbell) back in the woods. A new girlfriend but the same old cabin with the same old demonic fiendishness outside just waiting for someone to stumble across the, now infamous, Necronomicon. As luck (?) would have it, the cabin's previous occupant was an archaeology professor who handily recorded translations for Ash to play, releasing the demons to possess his girlfriend. Chaos and hilarity ensues as Ash is forced to decapitate her to survive. Joining forces with a research team led by the professor's daughter, Ash and his new found friends spend the night trying to fight off the demons and get out of the woods alive.
The 1980's is my favourite decade for horror. So many directors made their mark. Craven had Elm Street, Barker had Hellraiser and Carpenter remade The Thing. Friday the 13th, American Werewolf, Maniac and The Shining all shaped my love of film. But Evil Dead II, with its possessed hands, chainsaws and time portals is hands down my favourite from this particular melting pot.
by Andrew Brooker (@Brooker411)
"Now you know what we are, now you know what you are. You'll never grow old, Michael, and you'll never die. But you must feed!"
Without doubt one of the most iconic vampire films from this decade. The Lost Boys stands the test of time, with its endlessly quotable lines, cool looking vampires and its awesome soundtrack. Joel Schumacher's skilful direction allows the tone of the film to shift from horror to humour effortlessly, never feeling forced or out of place; Schumacher gets the balance just right.
The cast give some strong performances on the back of an excellent screenplay. Corey Haim and Jason Patric have a decent chemistry as brothers, mothered by the always dependable Dianne Wiest. Barnard Hughes as Grandpa adds some great comic relief along with the Frog Brothers; Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander. Yet it's Keifer Sutherland that steals the show, his David is superb; his ice cold look, the constant menace in his voice; David is one of the great on screen vampires of this decade. Well, any decade really!
A film which came out of the shadows for me in the 80's. I just wasn't expecting it all to be this good. Amid all the slasher frenzy, this easily beat down the rest and emerged as my all-time favourite 80's horror film.

Compact proposed for greater strength among cities
September 22, 2021 September 22, 2021 Bob Bakken	0 Comments	board of aldermen, constitution week, council of mayors, darren musselwhite, hal guthrie park, nuisance property ordinance, southaven, tri-state compact agency
It is said that there is strength in numbers and Memphis metropolitan mayors, including Southaven's Darren Musselwhite, believe it is time to consolidate their strengths when it comes to appealing for project money to help cover infrastructure improvements that benefit the entire Mid-South.
Musselwhite presented the plan, which right now is being called the Tri-State Compact Agency, to the Southaven Board of Aldermen Tuesday evening.
The mayor pointed out that projects, such as the widening of I-55 at Church Road, are topics he continues to ask about at the federal and state level, so far with few results.
"It's like the state feels we're the 'Orange County' of Mississippi," Musselwhite said. "They think we have all of the money."
But the metropolitan Council of Mayors, a group of all the city mayors in the Mid-South metro area, is considering the compact to provide some extra interstate punch in requesting that projects be done to the benefit of the entire region.
Musselwhite told the board he would soon be coming to them to ask that the City contribute $8,000, the city's pro rata share by population, of a $150,000 charge for a consultant to help start the agency, form a board of directors and begin the work of more strongly representing the entire Mid-South.
Anything the compact approves would have to get the entire agency approval, as well as the nod from the individual tri-states, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi representatives.
The City of Memphis and Mayor Jim Strickland, when the plan was first floated, immediately stepped up to pledge half of that $150,000 price tag.
Musselwhite believes the compact would benefit Southaven and the Mid-South at the same time.
"This provides another avenue in the Mid-South area to solve problems," Musselwhite said. "It has worked in other parts of the country and we need to get smart. We need to start thinking that there's more than one way to achieve the needs that we have that are not being met now."
No immediate action was taken on what Musselwhite provided as an informational item in his Mayor's Report.
NUISANCE PROPERTY ORDINANCE PASSED: Aldermen went ahead Tuesday and passed a nuisance property ordinance, addressing what Musselwhite said was a top priority for him to fight crime and blight.
"There is an abundance of properties and rental properties right now where owners are not maintaining the property and are not taking the accountability and ownership of what occurs on the property," the mayor said. "In the last few years, we've had some situations where not only is it a property condition issue, it becomes a criminal issue as well."
With the ordinance, any property with a combination of three criminal convictions or code violations in a 12-month period would be in violation of the ordinance, be subject to a $1,000 fine and other penalties that could include revoking the certificate of occupancy for the property.
The ordinance had been a topic of discussion at a recent special session the Board of Aldermen held with Musselwhite.
"I feel like this is one of our top priorities in the city to be proactive," Musselwhite said. "We have to be creative in how we fight crime, it's a different era than it was 10 years ago or longer in the past."
FOOD TRUCK FRIDAYS: Starting Friday, Oct. 8, your lunch break could be in front of a food truck, either at Snowden Grove Park or at the Southaven Arena.
Aldermen Tuesday night approved the concept and fee schedule for what is being called, "Food Truck Fridays."
Vendors with food trucks can apply at the city clerk's office, pay a permit and rental fee, and set up at either of the two locations, the parking lot at the Arena or the Springfest paved lot in front of the BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove.
Musselwhite said he's seeing the popularity of food trucks across the country and wants to bring some of that to Southaven.
"We want to make it one day a week and we don't want to compete with our brick-and-mortar restaurants," Musselwhite pointed out. "We understand that some of our brick-and-mortar restaurants also do food trucks, so we think it will be good."
Vendors with vehicles meeting the definition of a food truck are welcome to come and pick a spot when they apply and then set up to sell their delicacies for the five-hour period each week. There is a $100 permit fee and a $25 per week rental fee, although vendors can save money by committing for a month at $75 for the month.
"I think it will be a good new tradition for our city," Musselwhite said. "We have a limit on the number of locations we can facilitate at both locations. The food trucks will pick the location they want to go to and if one location is full we'll communicate that to them and they can go to the other location."
IN OTHER ACTION… The Board approved the naming of a park on Guthrie Drive near Airways Blvd. as Hal Guthrie Park, for the man who developed that part of the city. While the park already had a name, there was no sign labeling it as such, and in discussions about the park, it was decided naming it after Guthrie would be an appropriate recognition of his generosity and service to the city.

The City recognized the week of Sept. 17-23 as Constitution Week and a proclamation to that effect was presented to members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Ginger Britt and Nita Thompson.
"The Constitution was written for a reason, to protect our liberties in this country, and it's not good enough for one person here and there to stand up for that," Musselwhite said in making the presentation. "We need every American to stand up and be an American, and remind people that the people that drew the Constitution did it for a reason. What happened in 1787, the goals they were trying to achieve, still apply in 2021."
New deputy city clerks were sworn into office as Ashley Ford and Nicole Hilario were given the oath of office for those positions.
City officials will be advertising for bids to construct a welcome sign, similar to the signs erected at other entrances to the city, at a spot on Getwell Road at Stateline Road.

Most neuropsychologists have encountered the difficulties in differential diagnosis for patients with complex comorbidities and chronic disease. There can be so many things that may contributing to cognitive dysfunction that it's hard to pin it down on one cause. This article talks about how people with multiple chronic conditions suffer from our fragmented and highly specialised medical system, where cardiologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, endocrinologists, and other specialists are great at the disorders they treat, but find it harder to provide integrated care to people with multiple conditions.
I like the idea at the end of the article, of "comprehensive care physicians" who work in hospitals to coordinate care between different specialists. Good physicians do this already, of course, but it's not an easy task, and the information obtained doesn't always filter down to the multidisciplinary team (MDT) who are looking after the patient during their hospital admission. Better communication and documentation of coordinated interdisciplinary care would make a big difference to people with multiple conditions, and I fantasise that ehealth records may make this easier. Though it would be even better if clinicians could pose questions to each other about patient care, to clarify any scenarios not included in the reports included in the patient file.
My hospital has recently opened an Integrated Care Service, and I'm engaged in preliminary discussions about how we can get a interdisciplinary MDT set up to provide services to people with neuro disorders, irrespective of their aetiology - while fragmentation into disease types might work in large cities with no workforce problems, in regional areas, we can't afford to be picky about which patients they see. Health professionals with competencies in neuroscience are scarce, and we need to work together for the betterment of all patients. Well, that's the fantasy, anyway. Funding is still directed to whichever disease has the strongest lobby group, but we'll try to be creative...Memory groups and cognitive skills training groups are one way ahead, and I'm grateful to colleagues like Sharon Naismith, Laurie Miller, Dana Wong and Glynda Kinsella for the research they've shared about the benefits of interventions for people with brain disorders or early cognitive changes.

Fate of a Salesman
A film by Ben Crosbie and Tessa Moran
Emmy-nominee Fate of a Salesman is an intimate portrait of a way of life on the verge of disappearing. In its 60th year of business, Men's Fashion Center in Washington, D.C. has come to represent identity, legacy and redemption for salesmen Willie and Steve and owner Jerry.
But business has crawled to a halt in the face of a tough economy and changing neighborhood, pushing the store to the verge of closure. Set amidst racks of pin-striped suits and feathered hats—the clothing of a bygone era—the men struggle to redefine themselves as the place with which they have long identified begins to vanish.

Breaking News – Britain Votes to Leave the European Union
LONDON — Britain has voted to leave the European Union, a historic decision sure to reshape the nation's place in the world, rattle the Continent and rock political establishments throughout the West.
With 309 of 382 of the country's cities and towns reporting early on Friday, the Leave campaign held a 52 percent to 48 percent lead. The BBC called the race for the Leave campaign shortly before 4:45 a.m., with 13.1 million votes having been counted in favor of leaving and 12.2 million in favor of remaining.
The value of the British pound plummeted as financial markets absorbed the news.
Despite opinion polls ahead of the referendum on Thursday that showed either side in a position to win, the outcome nonetheless stunned much of Britain, Europe and the trans-Atlantic alliance, highlighting the power of anti-elite, populist and nationalist sentiment at a time of economic and cultural dislocation.
"Dare to dream that the dawn is breaking on an independent United Kingdom," Nigel Farage, the leader of the U.K. Independence Party, one of the primary forces behind the push for a referendum on leaving the European Union, told cheering supporters just after 4 a.m.
Britain will become the first country to leave the 28-member bloc, which has been increasingly weighed down by its failures to deal fully with a succession of crises, from the financial collapse of 2008 to a resurgent Russia and the massive influx of migrants last year.
The result left Prime Minister David Cameron, who led the charge for Britain to remain a member of the European Union, badly weakened and at risk of losing his job. It was a remarkable victory for the country's anti-European forces, which not long ago were considered to have little chance of prevailing.
Financial markets, which had been anticipating that Britain would vote to stay in, braced for a day of losses and possible turmoil. Economists had predicted that a vote to leave the bloc could do substantial damage to the British economy. nytimes.com
