Proton-M fails to orbit Mexsat-Centinario telecom satellite
On May 16, 2015, International Launch Services (ILS) conducted launch of Proton-M rocket, Breeze-M upper stage with Mexsat-1, called Centenario, Mexican telecom satellite from Baikonur Cosmodrome. During 3rd stage burn a flight anomaly happened, resulting in the mission's failure. According to Roscosmos' release, "incorrect operation of 3rd stage engines was detected on the 497th sec of flight. Failure hapened at the altitude of 161 km. 3rd stage, upper stage and the satellite almost completely burnt in the atmosphere."
Launch provider ILS, commercial branch of Khrunichev Space Center, has launched Centenario for the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation (SCT) of Mexico, national federal entity that regulates commercial road traffic and broadcasting. During a press-conference Gerardo Ruiz Esparza, Secretary of Communications and Transportation, emphasized that Mexico invested near $300 million in Mexsat-1 design and development, and $90 million in the launch services. All this amount will be covered by insurers.
Mexsat-1, called Centenario in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, was part of Mexico's next-generation satellite communications system that provides communications services for voice, data, video transmission and internet access in remote areas. The spacecraft was built by Boeing Satellite Systems on the 702HP GEM satellite platform. It weighs 5325 kg at lift-off and is fitted with L-band and Ku-band transponders.

Hey there. I have some nail decals by RLR Creations to show you.
These are custom decals I ordered from her earlier this month.
(Just like any decal, they are put on like temporary tattoos
after the nail polish has dried.)
(Above and below pictures are in a light box)
I also tried Nfu Oh 61 for the first time.
First, let me talk about Nfu Oh 61. I received this beauty in a swap. I swapped 3 Color Clubs for this one polish. To me it was a good swap :) I bought the Nfu Oh Aqua Base in a blog sale last month. So, I have finally tried the 2 togethter. I put 1 thick coat of Aqua Base on and let that dry. It didn't seem to take that long to me. I have read other people noting that it took awhile. I put it on and played a quick game on the the computer, so I didn't notice it taking long. After the Aqua Base was dry I put 2 coats of Nfu Oh 61. It went on really easy and looked great!
Below is a picture of it with only the Aqua Base and 61.
I also read that top coat dulls the holographic effect.
Here is a picture below to show what it looked like after clear top coat.
To me, it made the holographic effect more scattered.
I like a strong holographic linear effect better.
But, it is still pretty.
I used different decals on each hand.
Below is a picture of the Monster High Skull indoors with flash.
Below is the right hand with Monster High character decals indoors with flash.
Below is the right hand with Monster High character decals in sun light.
My 7 year old daughter is a huge fan of Monster High. I ordered these decals for her, but her little fingernails are too small :( So, I am making use of them, lol. I like the cartoon myself. I haven't sat down and watched an entire movie. But, the bits and pieces seem adorable.
And lastly my LOTD
I didn't wear green today! lol. My husband requested that I didn't, so I wore his favorite color (and mine) BLUE.
I used Milani Shadow Eyez in Aquatic Style and a crease accent of Urban Decay Chaos. I like the look. It is very vibrant, so I wore a neutral lip.
No foundation or powder.
Thanks for reading :)

No matter your specialty or the size of your practice or facility, there are healthcare compliance concerns that all medical organizations face. From eliminating cloned electronic health records and poor physician documentation to following the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) and Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Statutes, health care organizations must be compliant with changing health care trends, guidelines, laws, and government regulations to minimize their risk.
To stay out of harm's way from government scrutiny and liability risk, your practice or facility can benefit from a medical compliance plan and the services of a health care compliance officer. It's the best way to ensure your claims and processes are clean and compliant with government and payer requirements, to decrease your risk of malpractice claims and insurance fraud and abuse, and to save you from costly lawsuits.
Medical practices need someone who can develop, organize, manage, and direct the functions of a compliance department: a health care compliance officer. A compliance officer makes sure all policies and procedures of a health care system are accurately maintained and organized, and calls for changes when they need to be made. They understand the nature of the compliance-related risk, where it occurs, and how to manage it by balancing compliance costs against the business risk.
AAPC offers the Certified Professional Compliance Officer (CPCO™) credential to help address the ever-growing compliance requirements of government laws, regulations, rules, and guidelines.
This healthcare compliance certification demonstrates that you understand the key requirements needed to effectively develop, implement, and monitor a health care compliance program for your practice based on governmental regulatory guidelines. This includes being knowledgeable in compliance reviews, audits, risk assessments, and staff education and training. With the CPCO™, you'll obtain expertise in areas such as:
If you are a certified healthcare compliance officer and want to take your expertise, credentials, and career to the next level, consider becoming a CPCO™ through AAPC. You already have the background and know how to follow proper coding, billing, and claim requirements, so you have a jumpstart on understanding government rules and regulations in health care. Find out more here.
Prepare for certification and a career in healthcare compliance
Validate your knowledge, skills, and expertise with healthcare compliance certification

Yes, we know its not in Spain! But at Easter we take a group of travelers for a week to savor this magical city. We have a great itinerary lined up. You'll see a myriad of fascinating museums, famous monuments and don't forget the wine and baguettes, the chocolate, the markets… There's so much to do you'll promise yourself to see more on the next visit.
A word about traveling in Paris. Just like many people talk about life in Spain being on Spanish time be aware that in Paris you're on Parisien time and that means knowing the local schedules and being ready for an occasional setback like oh, a transit strike. Flexibility and a little spontaneity are a must since even with hours listed some monuments may open later on a particular day for reasons we as tourists will never know why.
For example, on our last tour we planned to see the fabulous Opera which was scheduled to open for 10:00, but a small sheet of paper at the ticket booth said, "sorry for the inconvenience but we'll open at 13:00 today." So instead we went to the nearby department store Galleries Lafayette Haussmann with its remarkable interior and a rooftop terrace with one of the best views of Paris. Also the schedules of the great museums are somewhat irregular, on Mondays the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée Carnavalet are closed and then others like the Louvre and the Musée de l'Orangerie are closed on Tuesdays. So when you come to Paris or really any destination and there is a snafu, be flexible and head in the direction of another fascinating monument, exhibit, or neighborhood.

Once again, the "tolerant" liberals have struck again. They spread lies telling people that they are "united", but they have just as much hate as anyone else in the world.
They claim to be so "loving" and "accepting", but if you're a minority who supports Trump, they will shout in your face and threaten your life.
Here's our latest example from Rebel Pundit:
You hear that? A liberal telling this man "You're not really black!". Just because he votes for Donald Trump? REALLY?
Who are REALLY the racist ones!?
Another reason we need TRUMP in the White House!

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Just had a few games with swain where a played a build similar to this, so I just wanted to post it and hear what you thought. It worked quite well, won one lost one. This is not an optimal build but just for fun! so please judge it as such.
3.5k hp
almost 200 armor
decent MR
combined with healing from ult you are actually a "tank"
low MP
means you can't kill s**t except maby a squishy with no MR
So if you have tried a simmilar build please post how it went and if you have any suggestions to improve it
Edit: haha, just managed to play 11/5/23 with a simmilar build. I'm having too much fun :D

text: Hi guys, I was wonder if you could pick apart a website draft for a dance school that I recently finished. Personally, I like the design but I feel the content section could be presented better, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advice would be really appreciated and as the title says, don't hold back! If something looks horrible please tell me! http://ladesigns.co.uk/images/designdraft.png (Yes it's just an image at the moment) Oh and in case you were wondering, that screen at the top will eventually be a jQuery slider, I'm thinking of putting some circular slide number icons along the bottom of the screens frame.

Curaçao Airport Holding N.V. Operational Plan 2010. Curaçao Airport Holding N.V. Margaret Abraham Plaza z/n Curaçao Nederland's Antilles. October 2009 FINAL version. Content. 1. Introduction.

Operational Plan
Curaçao Airport Holding N.V.
Margaret Abraham Plaza z/n
Nederland's Antilles
October 2009
FINAL version
The execution of this plan will be impacted by internal (e.g. to further professionalize the CAH
organization) as well as external factors (e.g. the vision of the new strategic partner).
The strategic framework describes the vision, mission, core processes and objectives of CAH. The strategic framework is the basis from which the strategic focuses and targets for 2010 are derived. The objectives are derived from the 'Logistic Hub Master Plan' of Curaçao , and directly related to the role of the Airport. These objectives are approved by the Island Council. The strategies are in line with the defined objectives. These are derived from the 'Logistic Hub Master Plan' and the CAH Business Plan.
The Corporate Message is – in addition to the approved vision and mission – a strong believe, developed by the determination and commitment of the holding to realize its vision, that enhances CAH's real being. It's this message that includes as well its target as its vision, it explains what CAH is doing and why;
"Curacao Airport Holding sees Curacao International Airport as a 'Hub', connecting the Americas, transforming from an airstrip into an Airport City; a dynamic environment attracting aviation and non-aviation linked businesses of all types, stimulating and facilitating increasing of passengers and cargo traffic and creating a powerful engine for the necessary economic development of our Island."
By 2016, Curaçao International Airport is the most efficient, provides the highest quality of service worldwide and is first in the number of passengers and cargo volume (in the Caribbean) and be recognized globally as one of the top international airport Hubs for trusted, value-generating airport services

2. Strategic framework CAH (continued)
3. Evaluation execution Operating Plan 2009
The year 2009 can be characterized as the year where A-port was inaugurated as the new Strategic Partner for the Development Operations and Management of the Curacao International Airport, as a result of the takeover approval of the Alterra shares in January 2009.
CAH has welcomed A-port and worked closely with its new strategic partner to activate the details of the Clarification Agreement, with the focus to bring the airport operation on 'cruise control' level. The actions taken by CAH as set out in the Operational plan 2009 have given CAH sufficient 'steering-tools' to pressure the improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of the airport operations and service level to the customers, in the many committees and workgroups that CAH now participates in as part of the Agreement with A-port.
Besides its own effort to initiate the development of the excluded territories such as the Hato Office Park and the Spaceport development opportunity, CAH has worked hard on the implementation of the Heads of Agreement, focusing on the execution of the Project Organization, responsible for the Master planning and Marketing of the Airport City concept.
The CAH organization has grown and matured by further strengthening the competences of the workforce and optimizing the financial administration, management information structure and the start up of a professional Strategic Communication action plan.
CAH has contributed significantly in joined efforts to attract airlift, renewal of the aviation policy and structure and alignment of the Logistical Hub vision. The long haul Low Cost Carrier model to connect North and South America through Curacao, which CAH has created in cooperation with IATA, has encountered local resistance. However in continuous negotiating with GOL and other LCC, new opportunities are being investigated on how to become the Hub of choice in the Caribbean - "Connecting the Americas"- in time for the World-Cup and Olympics in Brazil in the years 2014 and 2016.
3. Evaluation execution Operating Plan 2009
Looking back at the Operational plan for 2009 the following can be concluded;
Airport operations;
Almost all targets have been addressed satisfactory, except the realization of an upgraded Master plan by CAP and the initiation of a Maintenance Program. These have been negotiated as a part of the Clarification Agreement, which will be addresses next year under the responsibility of A-port. Conducting DOMA and non-DOMA related assessments has become a regular way of doing business.
Airport City development;
The negotiations for the Definitive Agreement for the establishment of the Project Organization will be realized before the end of 2009. CAH has started the creation of an Action Plan for the proper Property Management of the related area, which (partly) have to be adopted by the Project Organization next year. The kick-off for creating a conceptual outline for the Master planning and marketing of the Airport City has been initiated with Arthesia / Nuesch, enabling the realization of the Master Plan for Area B&C next year. CAH is negotiating some project opportunities with potential developers/investors for the development of the HATO Office Park and started the marketing of the excluded territories in order to trigger commercial development.
3. Evaluation execution Operating Plan 2009
Looking back at the Operational plan for 2009 the following can be concluded;
Asset management;
The professionalization of the CAH organization and workforce has been executed satisfactory. Due to the workload the monthly department reporting procedure has been delayed but will be addresses next year to improve the internal communication and reporting. Digitalizing and automating of the information infrastructure will remain a continuous focus area. PR & Communication has become a major focus area in 2009 and a comprehensive Communication Action Plan for the positioning of CAH and its projects has been worked on to ensure optimal implementation in the years to come.
Economic Development;
CAH, as part of the advice group, has completed her advice report towards the Island Territory related to the proposition for an aviation policy and structure. The study for the regulatory framework has been taken over by Deloite & Touche. CAH has been actively participating in the Airlift Development Committee which jointly resulted in negotiation with several air carriers. Continuous negotiation with LCC and cargo carriers have taken place to position Curacao as the Hub of choicein the Caribbean. Results are expected in the years to come.
Participation in Logistic related workgroups has become a standard activity as CAH thrives to develop areas overgrowing the direct airport related interests.
In this chapter the strategic focus areas for 2010 are defined. These focus areas are in line with the strategies as set out in the approved CAH Strategic Master Plan and Business Plan 2008 – 2012.
Main Focuses for 2010 and the years to follow;
Operational Excellence
Operational excellence is one of the main focuses of CAH. By means of the Clarification Agreement and continuous partnership building with A-port, CAH believes to have created the right environment to optimize the airport performance and service level to customers.
Airport City Development
With the execution of the Project Organization a joined effort will take place to initiate a professional Master planning and Marketing process for the realization of the Airport City.
Hub Development
CAH believes that Curacao International Airport should facilitate the growth in Tourism, but should focus on exceeding this growth by creating connectivity and air-routes between the America's. CAH's focus must be on creating transit – and transfer connections for pax- and cargo and ensuring the right facilities and infrastructure to become the Hub of choice in the Caribbean - "Connection the Americas" - in time for the 2014 and 2016 World-Cup and Olympic Games in Brazil.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Between al this ambitions and commercial targeting, CAH recognizes its position as a government agency and its responsibly towards the Island of Curacao and its people. CAH will put all efforts to prove itself to be a good corporate citizen.
In this chapter the targets for 2010 are defined. These targets are in line with the defined strategic focus areas 2010 as outlined the previous chapter. These are also clustered per core process.
For each target, the respective objective, critical success factors, performance indicators, norms, core activities, time frame, expected results and deliverables are defined.
These targets will be allocated to the responsible professionals and incorporated in their performance contracts
Airport city development
Economic development
In this chapter the targets have been allocated to the responsible professionals. In some cases targets have been allocated to more than one person because of the nature and the scope of the core activities to be performed as part of the respective target.
X = primair responsible. O = important supportive role
X = primair responsible. O = important supportive role
In the following table the consolidated budget for 2010 is outlined. The detailed description of the 'projected budget planning' can be found in the Financial Budget Report 2010 as presented to the Supervisory Board of CAH.
This plan illustrates the strategies approved in the Business Plan 2008 – 2012 that will be implemented in 2010 and which directly contributes to the realization of the mission and goals as outlined in the approved 'Strategic Master Plan and Business Plan 2008 – 2012'.
The implementation of our new Strategic Partner A-port has set the tone for the years to come and CAH believes to have found a real partner for the long term Development Operations and Management of Curacao International Airport.
The Year 2010 will be very important year for CAH! In this year the Operations of the airport should be upgraded to an acceptable level of service and possible adaptation of the terminal could be initiated already. Air-lift is considered to be one of the threats for further developing Tourism and the airport has to ensure its facility will be in place once the efforts to increase the airlift will be successful. If Curacao International Airport chooses to become the Hub of Choice in the Caribbean – "Connecting the Americas" – for the 2014 and 2016 Games in Brazil, its has to take the necessary steps and actions to be ready in time!
Further more, 2010 will be the year in which CAH will have to align, approve and present the Master- and Business Plan for the development of the Airport City. Stakeholder participation and commitment is of the essence and alignment with other major developments on the Island will be a key to success.
The Management Team of CAH is fully committed to this plan. This plan will be monitored, periodically evaluated and adjusted if so required to ensure proper execution. The results will be presented to and discussed with the Supervisory Board.
The discipline of getting things done!

New York Mets vs. Chicago Cubs - 7/2/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Chicago Cubs (51-27) at New York Mets (41-37)
MLB Baseball: Saturday, July 2, 2016 at 7:15 pm (Citi Field)
J Arrieta (12-2) (2.10) vs. B Colon (6-4) (2.86)
The Line: New York Mets +175 / Chicago Cubs -185 --- Over/Under: 7 See the Latest Odds
Over at Citi Field on Saturday, the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets will meet up once again.
This will be game three of a four-game set. In Thursday's opener, the Mets secured a 4-3 win. On Friday, New York pummeled Chicago with a 10-2 victory.
USA TODAY Sports
Right-hander Jake Arrieta will take the mound for the Cubs on Saturday. Over 16 starts this year, Arrieta has logged a 12-2 record, a 2.10 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP in 103 innings. On Monday, Arrieta wasn't quite as sharp as usual with five earned on four hits in five innings.
The Chicago batting order is one of the most capable in the league. Kris Bryant leads the way on 84 hits with 63 runs, 23 homers and 61 RBI. Bryant managed a solo homer in Friday's game. Ben Zobrist has put up 81 hits with 54 runs, 10 homers and 42 RBI. Anthony Rizzo isn't far behind with 76 hits, 46 runs, 19 homers and 58 RBI. Zobrist and Rizzo combined to go 0-for-6 on Friday.
Veteran right-hander Bartolo Colon will make the start for the Mets on Saturday. In 16 games (15 starts) this year with a 6-4 record, Colon has secured a 2.86 ERA with a 1.17 WHIP in 88 innings. On Sunday in a loss to the Braves, Colon went seven innings with six hits and one earned run.
New York features a few noteworthy batters in their lineup also. Yoenis Cespedes has a team-high 11 homers with 47 RBI, 77 hits and 43 runs. Cespedes put up a solo homer on Friday. Asdrubal Cabrera has put up 76 hits, 32 runs and 27 RBI. Cespedes managed two homers in Friday's game. Neil Walker has hit 68 times with 32 runs, 14 homers and 32 RBI thus far.
The Cubs are 4-1 in their last five Saturday games, and 5-0 in Arrieta's last five Saturday starts. Chicago is also 25-3 in Arrieta's last 28 road starts, and 42-12 in Arrieta's last 54 starts overall.
As for the Mets, they're 21-6 in their last 27 against the National League Central and 2-4 in their last six overall. New York is also 4-1 in Colon's last five starts, and 4-10 in Colon's last 14 starts with five days' rest.
I can't pick against Arrieta here, so I'll take the Cubs--even though Colon should keep things relatively close on the other side.

(MoneyWatch) I'm a big fan of fellow CBS MoneyWatch blogger Larry Swedroe's writing on investing, and I agree with the investing strategies that he advocates. So I was excited to learn about his new book, "Think, Act, and Invest Like Warren Buffet: The Winning Strategy to Help You Achieve Your Financial and Life Goals." Actually, a more descriptive title might be "Think, Act, and Invest Like Larry Swedroe: Invest With Peace of Mind Knowing You're Doing the Best You Can," but I admit that my title doesn't have quite the marketing edge that his does.
The first thing I like about Swedroe's book is that it's easy to read and is short at just 134 pages. There are no complicated graphs and charts, but there are several insightful sketches from Carl Richards, The New York Times blogger, illustrator and author of "The Behavior Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money."
Swedroe believes that there can be simple solutions to such a complex subject as investing. In the book, he describes Warren Buffet's investing philosophy using quotes from the famous investor such as, "So many investors, brokers and money managers hate to admit it, but the best place for the average retail investor to put his or her money is in index funds."
Swedroe says your first investing step should be to develop a financial plan to meet your life goals. Then you should decide how much investing risk you can afford to take, which will translate into a risk-appropriate asset allocation between stocks, fixed income and alternative investments, such as real estate or commodities. The next step is to select low-cost index funds to implement your desired asset allocation. His book offers easy-to-understand instructions and sample portfolios to help you execute these tasks.
Then go enjoy life! You don't need to spend hours anguishing over buying and selling stocks and bonds or watching the financial news every evening to keep track of the market. What you should do is periodically review your investments to see if it's time to re-balance your portfolio or when subsequent events in your life would call for changing your financial plan.
Swedroe's short book fills in enough details so you can implement the strategies that he advocates on your own. For those readers who still need to work with a financial advisor, he provides some insightful tips for shopping for a financial advisor who is qualified and will have your best interests at heart.
And for those people who don't want to read all 134 pages, Swedroe ends with a short nine-page section that basically summarizes the book by outlining his "30 Rules of Prudent Investing."
I've already recommended his book to numerous friends and relatives, and I'm recommending it to you, too, so you can invest with peace of mind and knowing that you're doing the best you possibly can.

Perfect overnight business trip bag.
I am a business traveler and prefer only one carry on and one checked bag. When I fly I always have a laptop and a complete change of cloths all in one bag. Too many times I have had close calls of missing my flight due to delays or having flight cancellations. But keep in mind the bigger the pack and more you load it down it will get uncomfortable. The pack doesn't come with a Sherpa. This pack in comfort is much better than the Swiss Gear Ibex and carries much more. I give it 5 Stars. It does what I want it to do.

Movies - The Oscars postsTuesday November 11, 2014
Why We Can't Quit the Academy Quitting on 'Brokeback'
In a post on "Beckett," which he calls "the most covert 'gay' movie ever released to mainstream America in the 20th Century," Jeffrey Wells takes the Academy to task over ignoring the most overt gay love story Hollywood has produced:
At this exact time nine years ago "Brokeback Mountain" was building a head of Oscar steam like no other Best Picture contender. Or so it seemed to me and mine. It had premiered in Telluride, Venice and Toronto in September 2005 but wouldn't open commercially until early December, but everyone knew. It was one of the saddest love stories ever made, one that might have been even more moving for being about closeted gay guys. Everybody knew the truth of what it was saying, which was more or less "If you've got something really good going with someone, don't blow it…don't hide your feelings, don't be afraid. Man up."
It was a love fest, a blossoming. Critical praise, critics awards, big box-office, etc. Around which the whole country, in a sense, seemed to be holding hands and coming together.
And then it all started to go wrong. Discussions I had during that period (late '05 and early '06) suggested that older Academy geezers were not emotionally comfortable with gay sheepherders, and that they had written it off early on. The late Tony Curtis became the poster boy for this sentiment, famously declaring that "Howard Hughes and John Wayne" wouldn't like it." And then Jack Nicholson opened the envelope … thud. I'll never get over that. Never.
The unforgivable moment. Not the love between Jack and Ennis but the lack of love from the Academy.

Neil Patrick Harris to Host 2015 Oscars
Because he's not just for gays anymore.
Seriously, this is great news for the Oscars and for my Oscar party. Although I might actually want fewer people there so I can hear more.
A few days ago, I was watching the clip below for the umpteenth time and marveling at the talent. If he brings a fraction of this to the Oscar telecast, it'll only be a massive improvement.

SLIDESHOW: My Oscar Picks
SLIDESHOW: This is who I want to win, not who I think will win. I have no inside information, beingin Seattle, but I'll bring up some of the favorites. I'll also mention who's missing from among the nominees, if anyone. Overall, I have to admit, it's been a good year for Hollywood movies and the Academy did a good job picking its nominees. Its big blind spot was not giving any love to "Inside Llewyn Davis," but then, as my friend Jim Walsh writes, that's the nature of Llewyn Davis. Nothing would be more incongruous than Llewyn Davis winning anything. If you want him during awards time, he'll be in the back alley getting his ass kicked. But onward.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG: "HAPPY": What's missing, of course, is any song from "Inside Llewyn Davis," or at least the original songs ("Please, Mr. Kennedy," etc.), but even if that were nominated I'd probably still go with this song—and not just because Patricia's obsessed with it. It's because Pharrell's voice is great, the song grooves, and it does what it sets out to do. It makes us happy.
BEST VISUAL EFFECTS: GRAVITY": Sure, great effects and whiz-bang in "Star Trek Into Darkness" "The Hobbit 2," and "Iron Man 3." But c'mon. This movie was an experience. It was a spectacle. It pushed the bounds. It went where no film had gone before.
BEST FILM EDITING: "AMERICAN HUSTLE": How do you choose this category unless you know what the editor was working with? But I'd go "Hustle" based on how quickly it moved through the movie's many different storylines in a way that felt left almost nothing extraneous on the screen. It's a quick, fun, fat-free movie. The only extra weight was what Christian Bale put on.
BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY: BRUNO DELBONNEL, "INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS": I wouldn't be surprised if the black-and-white movie wins ("Nebraska") but "Llewyn Davis" felt black and white to me. This is Delbonnel's fourth nomination, after "Amélie, "Un long dimanche de fiançailles," and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Roger Deakins, who often photographs the Coens' movies, is also up, for "Prisoners." It's his 11th nomination with no wins. Could be interesting. Would love to see someone from this movie up there.
BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: "THE GREAT BEAUTY": It won the Globe and the BAFTA, and its strongest competition isn't here: "The Past," from Iran, and "Blue is the Warmest Color" from France. Plus it was No. 3 in my top movies of 2013. Although does that count against it ulimtately? Either way, Jep (above) gave us the best Oscar-night advice: "We're all on the brink of despiar. All we can do is look each other in the face, keep each other company, joke a little. Don't you agree?"
BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE: "THE ACT OF KILLING": Every year this category gets tougher. Think of all the great 2013 docs that didn't even get nominated. But "Killing" is in a league of its own. It's horrifying, bizarre but ultimately redemptive. If we think what we see in the first 9/10 can be redeemed.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: JENNIFER LAWRENCE, "AMERICAN HUSTLE": There's been pushback lately that Lawrence's is a showy performance. Maybe, but it's my kind of showy performance. But it appears Lupita Nyong'o will win for "Slave." If enough members of the Academy can bother to see it.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: MICHAEL FASSBENDER, "12 YEARS A SLAVE": I'd be happy with Jared Leto, who seems a lock. But Fassbender's was one of the most amazing performances of the year. Not because, as a slaveowner, he could act cruel but because he could also act righteous. There's not a trace of guilt in him. The opposite. Look how wrongedhe felt in the end.
BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY: SPIKE JONZE, "HER": This category is usually stacked but not this year. To be honest, any of these could win and I'd just shrug. The best movie of the bunch is "American Hustle" but I heard a lot of that was improvised. So I'd go Jonze.
BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY: STEVE COOGAN, JEFF POPE, "PHILOMENA": I still think this is a very underrated movie. There's a purity, a cleanness to it. I'd be happy with either "12 Years" or "Wolf," too. What would make me most unhappy? "Before Midnight," one of the most overrated movies I've seen in years.
BEST ACTOR: LEONARDO DICAPRIO, "THE WOLF OF WALL STREET": This is the most stacked category we've got. It's so stacked that performances that might normally win, such as Robert Redford in "All Is Lost," Tom Hanks in "Captain Phillips," and Oscar Isaac in "Inside Llewyn Davis," weren't even nominated. It's McConaughey's to lose, of course, and I'll cheer along with everyone else for the great year he had, including "Mud," "Wolf" and HBO's "True Detective"; but Leo took it to another level here. It's like he was channeling Jack Nicholson at his outré best. He was both contained and over-the-top. It was riveting.
BEST ACTRESS: JUDI DENCH, "PHILOMENA": Again, why was there no buzz for this performance? Cate Blanchett was amazing in "Blue Jasmine," and she'll deserve it, but Dench is so good she almost undercuts her film. We get several scenes from the 1950s to demonstrate what Philomena Lee lost, but these, to me, are almost superfluous. We know what Philomena Lee lost. You just need to watch Judi Dench act.
BEST DIRECTOR: MARTIN SCORSESE, "THE WOLF OF WALL STREET": I know, he's got no shot. But the movies Marty will be remembered for are "Mean Streets" (no nomination), "Taxi Driver" (ditto), "Raging Bull (nominated, lost to Redford), "Goodfellas" (nominated, lost to Costner), and this. So who gets the honor instead? I'll take McQueen, even though, in some sense, "12 Years" is his least powerful movie. I'll take Cuaron for pushing the boundaries of space on film. But this is who I want. And finally ...
BEST PICTURE: "THE WOLF OF WALL STREET": It's about the haves and have nots; about how to be a have and not fall back into have-not territory. Jordan Belfort keeps bringing up McDonald's with his brokers in the wolf pit. He keeps bringing up dingy cars and plain wives and the energy-draining 9-to-5 existence: commuting between two places that don't really appreciate what you do. The schnook life. Our life. And welcome to it. "American Hustle" might win, along with either "12 Years" or "Gravity," but this movie is about the true American hustle.
EXIT MUSIC (FOR A SLIDESHOW): Gosh, where to start? I'd like to thank Patricia for always being there, and for taking like two dozen photos of me before we got a decent one. I'd like to thank the Academy for starting up to stave off unionization. I'd like to thank the talented people who made this year's movies, particularly Martin Scorsese, and all the people who came to my Oscar party. But mostly I'd like to thank Llewyn Davis. For reminding me of me. This one's for you, dude!

For Red Carpet Watchers: That's a Bowling Alley Behind Angelina Jolie
"On the way back to our condo rental, we stopped at the Dolby Theatre, home to the Academy Awards. The theater is squeezed into a shopping mall on busy Hollywood Boulevard that has a Gap store, food court and bowling alley.
"'I don't remember the red carpet taking place outside a mall,' I commented to the guide. Everything, he explained, is cloaked. Store signs are covered for the Oscars telecast."
-- from my sister's Star-Tribune piece, "In Los Angeles, studio tours are the real stars," about going on studio tours with the family earlier this year in Hollywood.

Revisiting the 2011 and 2012 Best Picture IMDb Rankings
Today's post, plus past conversations with Reed, made me look back at the 2011 and 2011 best picture nominees and their IMDb ratings to see how they've changed over time. Were these films more appreciated now? Or did they seem ordinary once the buzz died down?
First, 2011:
|2011 Best Picture Nominee
|Feb. 2012
|Jan. 2013
|Feb. 2014
|The Artist
|The Help
|Midnight in Paris
|The Descendants
|War Horse
|The Tree of Life
|Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close
The basic rule with IMDb ratings is that gravity matters; the numbers tend to go down. But some have managed to go up year to year. Which movies? "The Help," "War Horse" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," which also happen to be, to me, the three worst movies on the list. Two years ago we started with the best pic nominees in the order you see. Now, "The Help," of all movies, is No. 1, while "The Tree of Life," of all movies, is last.
So it goes.
As for last year's best pic noms? Gravity takes it toll, yes:
|2012 Best Picture Nominees
|2013 IMDb
|2014 IMDb
|Django Unchained
|Life of Pi
|Silver Linings Playbook
|Les Misérables
|Zero Dark Thirty
|Beasts of the Southern Wild
They all went down, "Lincoln"in particular. Their order remains the same, though. And I do think 2012 was a bad year for best picture nominees, so it's probably deserved. Of course "The Dark Knight" doesn't deserve to be rated the fourth-greatest movie of all time, but that's another discussion.
All down. Lincoln down with a bullet.

Operating time: 09.00 - 17.00
The National Library of Thailand is the legal depositary and copyright library for Thailand. It was created in 1905, after the merger of the three existing royal libraries. It operates under the jurisdiction of the Fine Arts Department of the Ministry of Culture in Bangkok.
The library aims to be a fully high-tech national intellectual property resource, serving all people and guided by professional staff.
The National of Library of Thailand's main tasks are collecting, storing, preserving, and organizing all national intellectual property regardless of medium. Collections include Thai manuscripts, stone inscriptions, palm leaves, Thai traditional books, and printed publications as well as audio-visual materials and digital resources. The library is a national information resource serving citizens nationwide.
The National Library has a long history. In 1905, three libraries, the Mandira Dharma Library, the Vajirayanana Library, and the Buddhasasana Sangaha Library, were amalgamated at the command of King Chulalongkorn the Great and renamed the "Vajirayanana Library for the Capital City".
The library has remained under royal patronage since that date. In 1933, after democratic reforms, the Fine Arts Department was established and assumed administration of the Vajirayanana Library by royal degree. It was subsequently renamed the "National Library". In 1966, the National Library was relocated to Samsen Road in Bangkok and is now administered by the Ministry of Culture.

Unanswered: Error message while openning Access 2003
I am starting to receive complains from users that use Access 2003. They receive an error message when they open Access 2003, the translation of the message looks like this: An error has occured and this component does not work correctly. Do you wish to repair it at this moment?
If I answer Yes, the installation process goes in a loop without no end trying to install something.
The solution I found, but I do not like it, is to give the user admin right to the machine (Windows XP sp1).
Any work around would be appreciate.

LW Herdon with a great Character Interview with two characters from his new book The Mark Of Kane!
~ * ~
Thank you for hosting me today.
I'm here to interview two character volunteers from The Mark of Kane. I'd like to introduce, Anne Kidd and Naberius, though Naberius seems to be late showing up for the interview.
LW: "Anne, do you want to go ahead and tell the readers about yourself?"
Anne walked beside me as we made our way through the UCLA reference library. "Can I ask first why we have to meet in the Special Collections section?"
"Naberius insisted that we meet here or he wouldn't join us," I said, looking over my shoulder to find the source of the odd chill I had as we entered a small research room. "He said something about a text, The Last Days of the World. Or something like that."
"Cheery." She sat beside me and leaned closer to me across the table. "Given he's a demon, wouldn't we be better off if he didn't show up?"
I hesitated a moment, trying to think up a good answer. To be honest, I'd paired these two together because they shared Kane's attention. Naberius had dedicated several years to teaching Kane. Now Kane was investing the time to help Anne learn how to adapt to her powers in the supernatural world that had awakened around her. "For all Naberius's power, I've found him to be very logical. And this was a small request. You could start while we're waiting."
"Can I leave if I'm done before he gets here?"
"Fine. I'm an ICU nurse and very new to Los Angeles."
"Don't forget the part where you're a fledgling sorcerer." The deep comment ended in a hiss. A soft thud echoed as the door closed. Anne and I both turned. A man with salt and pepper hair and a closely trimmed goatee, dressed in a tweed sports coat, held an ornate ebony walking cane with silver lion's head handle as he made his way toward us. His posture and smooth stride to the opposite side of the table earmarked him as not only fit, but not in need of the cane he leaned against a chair.
"I'm a wizard," Anne snapped. "And I'm at least punctual."
"Once you've lived more than ten thousand years, my dear Ms. Kidd, punctuality is relative."
"I am not 'your dear' anything."
A slight twitch at the corner of the goatee offered the only hint of his amusement. "Is that a challenge? I am an emotional succubus."
Anne settled farther back in her chair uneasily. I shuffled through the few notes I'd brought. "Thank you for coming, Naberius."
He sat down, ignoring me for a second as he flicked a piece of undetectable lint from his coat. "If I had not, you would have manufactured some details in my absence." With a glance at me, he smirked. "One scribe to another, I would prefer to manage my own words."
"Fair enough." I tried to remember why I had thought these two would make such a good combination. For now, all I could remember was a fascination with the demon who had spent decades immersed in books, studying humanity and myth as a recluse.
LW: "Now that we have the pleasantries out of the way, how did each of you meet Kane?"
Anne twined her fingers in her lap and pressed her lips together with a look toward Naberius. "I was working in the Intensive Care Unit and Kane was waiting for an update on the condition of his…" I received a raised brow. "Brother. That's how he referred to the boy."
"But he wasn't his brother." As the author, I understood the boy Kane had admitted to the Emergency Room had a role to play in the story. It wasn't one of sibling. That wouldn't change whether Anne approved or not.
"No," she added. "Though I'll admit, he did everything he could to make certain the boy survived."
"He made certain you survived as well."
Her hands clenched for a moment. "Yes. I wouldn't be here without his help. Only a few weeks have passed since I first met him and it seems like years. It's the same with the others that he dropped into my life. Some days I'm not really sure he's done me any favors."
"Naberius?" I asked
"If you expect me to add some melodrama with heartstrings about the Kane child, you are in error." He tapped a finger on the table toward Anne. "You would do well to heed Kane's instruction. There are worse things than death. He's fairly adept at skirting them."
I ignored them both and tried to redirect the interview back to the point. "Kane is what, Naberius, twenty-eight? Even when he was found by your demon clan, he was hardly a child."
"The entire planet of people today would fit here." Naberius rolled his eyes and held his thumb and forefinger up a hair's breadth apart. "You are not even a speck in a calculation so small. When Kane crawled to our home and clumsily fell into my quarters, he still did not register on the timeline of man. He is less than a child. But I grant him an elevated status because he is a work-in-progress, even the half-human he is."
"You mean the tool you have honed with knowledge and skills so you can use him?" I prodded.
He waved his hand and glanced away. "The same."
LW: "So you both have a need for his services?"
Anne glared at Naberius and nodded.
Naberius laughed, the sound was void of mirth and drenched in sarcasm. "The child has skills. Many yet to be tested, but he is my Artful Dodger, my Houdini of illusion, the one who walks between worlds. There is value in such a being."
LW: Whoa, that sounded a little too much like it was headed for Kane's adventures in the next book, Hallowed Vengeance. Perhaps time to wrap up this happy reunion. "Any final thoughts on Kane's future?"
Anne took a deep breath, squared her shoulders, and sat a little taller in her seat. The challenge to the man/demon across the table was obvious. "I've already made my choice to help him. While I have no idea where this will all end, I have no regrets. I know he won't leave those of us he cares for in the lurch. I guess that's more than I can count on from anyone else."
With an exaggerated stretch of his neck, Naberius let out an audible sigh. "Human emotion is so wasted."
"At least we have feelings. Don't you have any, somewhere very, very deep down?" Arms folded across her chest, Anne raised her chin.
"You don't even bother to skirt temptation, do you Wizardess? You walk across the line without a care or caution. Consider well the buttons you push." Naberius stood, his chair screeching backward as he grasped his cane in the middle. He moved to leave by the door at the end of the room, and then as if by a sudden reconsideration, he turned back.
The salt & pepper hair of his human personae were gone. Tight brown tissue replaced skin and muscle on his skull. An elaborate weave of external bones capped his head instead of hair. He hung before us in mid-air. Robes of deepest purple draped his frame, the sleeves ending at the blue-sheened claws wrapped around the cane. Crystal green eyes, oddly framed by long, dark lashes glowed with the truest depiction of mirth I'd witnessed since he'd arrived. Only the goatee remained from his alter ego.
"Beware writer. I have secrets you can't even imagine. My use of Thaddeus Kane is far from finished. His journey and that of our clan, is not written in stone. And for you, Ms. Kidd." He drifted closer to her.
To her credit, she didn't make a sound thought her eyes were wide and her pupils huge. "As a woman descended from the powerful line of Solomon, be more careful who you tempt."
With one graceful swirl in the air, he was gone.
Anne stood up, gave one long glance around the room, and then gestured to me with her purse. "No more interviews with him. Promise?"
I nodded, but it wasn't as if I could control the demon. If he decided to make his way onto the page again, who was I to stop him?
LW: Thank you both for joining me here today. Readers can follow the dates and locations for the Mark of Kane Sizzling PR Book Tour @ http://lwherndon.com/
For the giveaway: A $25 Amazon or Barnes & Noble GC to one randomly drawn commenter during the tour as well as to the host with the most comments. Additionally, two random drawn winners will receive the 2nd Thaddeus Kane ebook, on its release date, Fall 2012.
