One last post, and then I'm done for a bit, though I may return to film blogging when the Oscars happen. As usual, I had finished writing most of this series of year-end posts just before seeing the Coen Brothers' True Grit, which would have easily found a place on many of the Best Of lists here: certainly it would be on the 25 Best films list, as would ace cinematographer Roger "King" Deakins and lead actor Jeff Bridges. I expect to be seeing The Fighter and The King's Speech soon too. I have high hopes for one of them: anyone who knows me will know which one that is. As ever it difficult to do these posts in timely fashion, and I envy critics (especially US ones) who get to sample so many movies with plenty of time to compile lists. Sad, really. I'd love a job as a critic not because I love films so much, but because I want more time to make a bunch of pointless lists. I may need to reassess my life-goals here.
So anyway, this is a bunch of extremely miscellaneous gubbins. Have at it.
Best Movie From 2009 That We Saw In 2010: The Princess and the Frog
2009 was the best year for feature length animation that I can recall, thanks to the efforts of Pixar, Studio Ghibli, the Cloudy chaps, and Henry Selick. Just as Christmas rolled around lucky Americans got one last treat: a cel-animated Disney musical good enough to stand next to their 90′s run of classics. Ron Clements and John Musker got back the mojo they had started to slowly lose after Aladdin with a joyous and spry reworking of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale and subsequent novel by E.D. Baker, smartly adding iconography and mythology from African-American history. This decision seemed to rejuvenate the creative powers of all involved: it's funny, moving, energetic, has a cast of utterly charming characters — plus Keith "Superawesome" David's Dr. Facilier, the best Disney villain since Little Mermaid's Ursula – and features songs and music from Randy Newman that eclipse anything else he's done in years. A triumph, in short, and one that already needs to be reappraised after it came and went from public view with such little fanfare.
Honorable Mentions:
Bright Star – Another great movie from Jane Campion: no real surprise there. What was unexpected was how much this tale moved a schmuck like me, who thinks that films about writers are usually only interesting if they feature Mugwumps. Credit is due to Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish for bringing the fragile love affair of John Keats and Fannie Brawne to such vivid life, and even more credit is due to Paul Schneider, who is truly excellent as the repellent Charles Brown, lingering in the shadows and spitting poison at the lovers.
Sherlock Holmes – Haters can suck it. Guy Ritchie's surprisingly entertaining romp caught two-thirds of Shades of Caruso completely out by not being awful. Quite the opposite, in fact. It's loyal to the books, very funny, properly exciting and imaginatively filmed. It's also the most successful film Joel Silver has produced in years: as a fan of his output from the 80s and 90s, it's good to see him hit big every once in a while, especially as he seems increasingly keen to promote smaller genre movies like Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Splice and he isn't making much money from them.
Worst Movie From 2009 That We Saw In 2010: Whatever Works
Whenever I impotently but passionately rail against the staggering of global release dates for films, I should always be grateful for one thing: the fact that Woody Allen's movies seem to arrive here very late or not at all, even though Britain is supposed to be one of the countries that are most fond of the increasingly irrelevant old grouch. Whatever Works limped over to the UK about a year after it was released in the States, and really, thanks so much to UK distributors Warner Bros. for getting a last few spins out of those worn-out prints. This is not quite as bad as Cassandra's Dream, but it's considerably worse than Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which was already not that great. Basically it's just an excuse for the once-great director to hire nubile Evan Rachel Wood to bounce around in front of his latest ancient proxy in a tight-shirt-and-hotpants combo and acting like one a' dem Suthners frawm thuh Red Stayts what is men-ta-lee challunjjed. It's nothing more than a snide wank fantasy. I fucking HATED IT. I note that Peter Bradshaw is YET AGAIN tying himself in knots to justify the formerly brilliant director's descent into awfulness. Not mediocrity: I'm talking total and utter artistic decrepitude. Give it up, man!
Dishonorable Mentions:
An Education – Carey Mulligan is transcendentally wonderful in this uninspiring coming-of-age tale, perhaps so much so that some critics failed to see what a lemon they had on their hands. A lot of great work was done to give this adaptation of Lynn Barber's memoirs an authentic period feel, but the tone is all over the place. Alfred Molina seems lost in his scenes, broadly playing a character that could have done with being quieter, though thankfully he is skilled enough to add some nice notes. Worst of all of Nick Hornby's clunking screenplay, banging the movie's points as hard as possible in case the audience was asleep. Dispiriting stuff.
Nine – How do you make a clumsy and unappealing musical worse? Get Rob Marshall to make a hash of filming it! As if Maury Yeston's lyrics weren't already excruciating to listen to (Possibly my least favourite lyric ever: "My husband makes movies / To make them, he makes himself obsessed. / He goes for weeks on end without a bit of rest. / No other way can he achieve his level best."), now they're linked to dance routines whose listless choreography is only matched by Marshall's inability to put the camera in the right place, or cut to the most dynamic moments. If you thought Chicago was badly filmed, stay the hell away from this. Only the godlike Marion Cotillard and Fergie's voicebox come out of this with any credit. A pox on it. Watch 8 ½ and then go watch the nearest Sondheim revival.
Invictus - Forgive me for taking the review I wrote on Flixster several months ago and just dumping it here, but it says what I need to say about Clint Eastwood's horrid sport-uplift-a-thon better than anything I could no crank out, many months later:
For an hour Morgan Freeman's performance as Nelson Mandela is entertaining enough to hold the audience's attention even with the overwhelming treacle-thick sentiment pouring out of the screen and into your face. After that, nothing can save it. Endless – ENDLESS – scenes of incoherently edited rugby matches drag the movie to a halt, as the slow-motion sports scenes get slower and slower and slower. By the end you can't remember who is playing any more. Which end of the pitch are they supposed to run to? Who is passing the ball? Why is he passing it now? Who's that guy?
It eventually becomes an avant-garde exercise in deconstructing linear experience by bringing it to the temporal equivalent of absolute zero. Someone slowly points left. Another man falls over. Who are all these people watching? Morgan looks a bit excited. Another man points. A ball arcs slowly into another man's chest. Matt Damon is tired now. Or in pain.
By now the movie has been on for fourteen years. The ball bounces across the floor. Morgan looks scared. The sound of cheering is like the screaming of God. Matt Damon leaps into the air: it takes so long he might be flying. Another shot of the crowd: CGI never looked so real-ish. Is that a goal? It can't be. The South Africans shout "NO!" Oh, actually, they shout "YES!" The sound design is such that I cannot tell any more. Did they win? The uplifting music suggests they did: I check Wikipedia just to be sure.
In all, it is a staggering triumph.
South Africa's victory, I meant. The movie's shit.
The one comment I got on this was someone pointing out that the South African rugby team for that year was actually really terrible. If the worst team won, this conclusively proves my point about all sport being a total waste of time.
Best Movies I Saw in 2009 That Were Released In 2010 And Got On A Few Best Ofs And Thus Make My Exclusion Of Them Look Like I Didn't Like Them Which Just Isn't True, And Just To Prove It You Can Follow The Hyperlinks To My Reviews Of Them: Enter The Void / A Prophet / Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans / White Material
Ranking Decision Made In Last Year's Best Movies List That I've Come To Regret: Placing Jacques Audiard's A Prophet at number five in the list behind Avatar at number four has dogged me ever since I did it. That's not to say I now dislike James Cameron's slightly successful space opera: after seeing it a few times since I stand behind my glowing review 100%. Nevertheless, I suspect seeing it in IMAX just a couple of weeks before finishing my list may have pushed it a little higher than it deserves. I'm retroactively knocking it down to number five, and putting Audiard's peerless prison classic up to four, because this shit is important to me. I wonder which of this year's choices I'll regret next year…

Best Twist of the Year: There's a corker about halfway through The Disappearance of Alice Creed. I shall say no more about that, or all of the other almost-as-good twists. Good work, J Blakeson.
Worst Twist of the Year: The end of The Book of Eli is not only nonsensical, but I'm really not sure it adds anything to the movie, either narratively or thematically. I'd go back and rewatch to see how well it's set up, but I really can't be that bothered.
Satisfying, Unhistrionic and Beautifully Performed Ending That Made Me Sob And Sob And Sob: Rabbit Hole
Most Batshit Crazy Ending of the Year: The Killer Inside Me / Skyline
Directorial Debut of the Year: Richard Ayoade – Submarine
Honorary Mention: J Blakeson – The Disappearance of Alice Creed
Most Egregious Waste of a Musical Resource: Mastodon – Jonah Hex
Most Appropriate Use of David Byrne and Brian Eno's Album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today As A Soundtrack Choice: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, as Oliver Stone added a couple of tracks from their previous collaboration — My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts — to the first and far, far inferior Wall Street movie. It's, like, a homage or something.
Best Trailer: Clash of the Titans
Best Poster: Black Swan
Worst Poster: Death at a Funeral (Bad though the Photoshop is, it's the exclamation point at the end of the tagline that sealed it.)
Creepiest Poster: Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
Most Misleading Poster: The Last Exorcism (Nothing like this happens in the movie.)
Least Informative Poster: Knight and Day
Best Promotional Campaign: Inception
Remember the first trailer for Inception, the one that came out in 2009? What the hell is this?, we all thought as we rewatched it for the twenty-hundredth time. It makes no sense but is so pretty and sounds so nice, what with that cool booming thing going on. I can't recall the last time I got so excited for a movie on such little information. Keeping the plot a secret for so long was a brilliant move. With no recognisable characters or source material to look at, there was no way anyone could have known what Christopher Nolan had in store for audiences. The next trailer almost drove me out of my mind. The sight of Paris folding over was like a mindbomb going off. Had Nolan made something completely unprecedented in popular cinema? You know a promotional campaign has hit paydirt when something as innocuous as the booming noises in Zack Hemsey's Mind Heist end up being mimicked and mocked over and over again.
That noise seemed to soundtrack the entire year, but credit where credit is due, it's also down to possibly the best poster campaign I've ever seen for a major movie. Despite no one knowing what the movie was going to be before release, the campaign rested on cryptic but epic-scale posters featuring flooded or folding cities and characters listed as The Shade and The Extractor. It was utterly baffling and incredibly exciting. A week before the movie was released, almost to the hour, a flood of reviews washed across the internet as Warner Bros. embargo ended. The sense that a genuine event was about to occur was palpable. Seeing it a week later at the IMAX near Waterloo was one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had in a cinema, and much of it was due to the audience. Primed for the cerebral narrative to come, we raced through Nolan's maze and came to that divisive and bold final shot, and greeted it with shouts of "NO!" and "What the fuck!" And then the applause. The campaign worked. Dismiss it as hype, but there's almost an art to hype if it's done right and used to promote something of actual merit. I doff my cap to everyone involved.
Worst Promotional Campaign: The Bounty Hunter
One of the most dispiriting sights of the year was watching the cynical promotional campaign for this lifeless romactioncom spill out across the pop-culture spectrum. Seemingly aware that there was nothing interesting to say about the punch-card-generated tale of a bounty hunter on the hunt for his ex-wife (LOL), the publicists were forced to play the weakest hand in their deck: the are-they-aren't-they "romance" between stars Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. Not only was it lazy, but the actors obviously wanted nothing to do with it. Their fidgety non-commitals and attempts to brush aside questions from chat-show hosts and E! reporters were not just an attempt to create ambiguity: they looked genuinely embarrassed. The weak box office shows that no one else was interested either. Luckily once the movie was gone everyone could just forget about it, as if it was a drunken fumble between cousins that no one wants to talk about ever again.
Bravest Promotional Campaign of the Century: MacGruber
This notoriously unsuccessful but hysterical comedy — arguably the funniest of the year — featured one of the boldest performances of all time. Will Forte is utterly shameless as the hapless, cowardly mercenary, but the depths to which he was willing to plunge in order to generate a laugh happened offscreen, with this series of NSFW images. Maybe this was the reason the film sadly only made about $14, a half-full Starbucks loyalty card, and a poorly coloured-in photocopy of a $20 bill.
Best Hair: Pretty much everyone in Inception
Worst Hair: Scoot McNairy – Monsters
Best Wig (Male): Nicolas Cage – The Sorceror's Apprentice
Best Wig (Female): Mary Elizabeth Winstead – Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Most Eclectic Collection of Wigs: Thekla Reuten – The American
Honorary Manuela Velasco Award for Services to Scream-Queen Culture: Rooney Mara – A Nightmare on Elm Street
Most Comfortable Actor of the Year: Denzel Washington, who gets to sit down for most of Unstoppable
Most Convincing Lust Object of the Year: Danny Fucking Trejo – Machete
Honorary Mention: Mila Kunis – Black Swan
Least Convincing Lust Object of the Year: Bradley Cooper – The A-Team
Dishonorable Mention: Megan Fox – Jonah Hex
Best Use of a Gun To Intensify Usual Levels of Hottness to Almost Unbearable Levels: Helen Mirren – Red
Best Value For Money of the Year: Alfred Molina
As you would hope, Molina takes a couple of underwritten roles in two Bruckheimer misfires and makes the most of them. In both movies he gives the liveliest performances of the entire cast, saving both movies from being consigned to the bottom half of my 2010-movie-quality-spectrum. Long may he get cast to add some spice to underwhelming action comedies. Or, you know, get the lead in a really good movie. That would be nice, HOLLYWOOD!
Lamest Contribution to a Major Battle: The end of Sir Ridley of Scott's Robin Hood: The Puffy Years features a big pitched battle on a beach between the English and French. Midway through Maid Marian rocks up with her Feral Boys in an attempt to help repel the French using ponies and sticks. There's about 12 of them, they do nothing, and then Marian ends up getting smacked around by Sir Godfrey until Robin saves her. Not sure what the point of this was other than to have Robin do something heroic for his suddenly useless lady. Not cool, Sir Ridley.
Best Movie Featuring Liam Cunningham as a Fearless Badass From Ancient Times: Centurion
Worst Movie Featuring Liam Cunningham as a Fearless Badass From Ancient Times: Clash of the Titans
Best Robot: Madd Chadd in Step Up 3D
Most Listless Movie: Somewhere
A half-asleep arse-poot of a movie that says nothing about life other than it's easy to get a bit bored when you have a lot of money. Makes Sofia Coppola's previous movie – Marie Antoinette — look like Trainspotting. Consider this half-hearted critique my homage to Coppola's work ethic.
Most Unsuspendable Mountain of Disbelief: Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
I tried so hard — SO HARD — to buy into this movie's central conceit, but I could not get past the fact that it was a movie about warrior owls, no matter how beautiful it looked (and trust me on this, it's one of the most beautiful computer-animated movies yet made: almost every shot is breathtaking). The killing blow was the shot of an owl blacksmith hammering away at a hot piece of metal, sparks flying everywhere. It's an owl blacksmith. An owl, working as a blacksmith, with its tiny little talons gripping a huge hammer and smacking at a hot piece of metal it had just pulled from a furnace made by other owls in a tree village designed by owl architects and built by owl builders carrying little hods in their tiny owl hands. Maybe in the book this could work. Onscreen? Not so much.
Most References To Other Movies: Repo Men
Controversy surrounded this reasonably entertaining sci-fi movie after it became apparent that it bore some similarity to Repo! The Genetic Opera, though according to this HuffPo article this has been amicably resolved by all involved. Certainly the increased possibility of artificial organs being developed and then sold on by private insurance companies in the US is bound to get many writers' minds working: I wonder how many thousands of potential novels and screenplays withered on the vine as Repo! and The Repossession Mambo (the novel on which Repo Men was based) were released. Nevertheless, the makers of Repo Men certainly owe huge debts to Martin Scorsese and Nick Pileggi for the framing device and freeze-frames they incorporated from Goodfellas, Chan-wook Park for the Oldboy-esque action scene that occurs close to the end of the movie, and Terry Gilliam for… well, let's just say the ending seems rather familiar. As I say, I kinda liked it: the gore was plentiful and amusing, and the leads (Jude Law, Forest Whitaker and Liev Schreiber) were very entertaining. It did feel like it ran down some well-trod paths, though.
Most Amusing Number of Publicity Photos of a Director Pointing And Thinking And Holding A Camera: Alejandro González Iñárritu
While looking for publicity shots of the dirge-like Biutiful, I noticed that director Iñárritu (as he now prefers to be called — thanks to ace Tweeter and film blogger @iambags for spotting that) crops up in a surprising number of pictures looking all handsome and directory. Almost as many as lead actor Javier Bardem in fact. Not as many as Michael Bay, but then Bay has made more movies, so you'd expect that. I'm going to keep an eye on this race to become IMDb's most photographed and photogenic director.
Most Frustrating Directorial Decision of the Year: The Last Exorcism
This Eli-Roth produced horror "documentary" featured a terrific breakout performance from Patrick Fabian — a familiar face who has had recurring roles on Veronica Mars and Big Love but has never headed up a film before — but sadly director Daniel Stamm let him down after an hour of commanding the screen. Whether through poor editing or a lack of money or some other unforeseen and unavoidable problem, the final half an hour, with all of its craziness and weird reveals, happen in a blur of badly-chosen camera angles and looping. The biggest emotional moments come at the end, and hopefully would have shown Fabian at his best, but the camera barely focuses on his face in the last act, with his moment of revelation seemingly shot from under his armpit and his final lines almost inaudible due to some muddy sound design. It's a shame, as up to that point he had made a huge impression. Let's hope the success of this low-budget movie convinces someone else to give Fabian another chance at the prize.
Worst Loss Of Superproducer Mojo: Jerry Bruckheimer
Two expensive potential tentpoles (Sorcerer's Apprentice and Prince of Persia, obvs) crawled towards the edge of profitability thanks to worldwide box office, but it's fair to say Bruckheimer won't be trying to keep these frankly half-hearted franchises going. What's worse is he only seems to have Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides lined up for next year, and though the Captain Jack Sparrow fan in me is excited (perhaps not as excited as the Elliott & Rossio fan in me, but still), it's directed by Rob Marshall. I honestly don't know what Jer (as he likes me to call him) was thinking. Let's hope the main man gets his mojo back soon. Or hires Elliott and Rossio to write all of his movies, what with them being totes awesome and all that.
And with that little expression of hope, that we can see a franchise come back on track just through the power of the writer, I'll leave it there. Thanks to everyone who has responded to these posts: your contributions and comments have been greatly appreciated. Let's hope we have a thrilling 2011 in movies.

Rondout Valley school district to add fitness trail (video)
KYSERIKE, N.Y. — Rondout Valley school district officials are installing a "20-station fitness trail" outside the fence near the athletic track between the middle and high schools, according to Superintendent Rosario Agostaro.
The Fit-Trail setup, costing $9,955, will be used for physical education classes during the school day and will be available to the community outside of normal school hours, Agostaro said.
The trail will include a calf-stretch station, followed by stations that direct users to do upper hamstring and side stretches; bent knee hangs and heart rate checks; hamstring and quadricep stretches; knee lifts and toe raises; sit-ups and leg lifts; quadricep climbs and sits; pull-ups and heart rate checks; upward stretches; leg stretches and push-ups; hand walks and body dips; shoulder squeezes and heart rate checks; bar jumps; body raises and reverse pull-ups; body tucks and sit-and-reaches; overhead ladder use; balance walks and heart rate checks; side bends; hamstring pulls and lift-and-drops; and tension releases.
The variety of exercises is designed to teach students a balanced approach to fitness without them having to put a lot of thought into the regimen, the superintendent said.
"Kids have different ideas of what fitness means and how to get fit," Agostaro said.
According to Fit-Trail, the equipment for the various exercises can be set up along a trail or in a concentrated area.
Agostaro said the equipment will be located in a small area outside the fence at the track, by the scoreboard, on the district office side.
The superintendent envisions students learning to keep fitness logs and engaging their parents, too, in an effort to make exercise a family activity in the spirit of Ulster County Executive Michael Hein's Healthy Ulster initiative.
The equipment is designed for long-term outdoor use, Agostaro said, so that it will not deteriorate from exposure to the elements. Continued...
School district officials expect the installation to be complete this spring.
The funding for the project was part of $25,000 in "bullet aid" obtained by state Sen. John Bonacic, R-Mount Hope. Agostaro said the rest of the money went toward providing the high school's freshman class with iPads.
The district still has to raise "a couple thousand dollars" to buy special wood chips designed not to splinter to go with the equipment, a requirement from the district's insurance company, the superintendent said.

Using qDebug
GUI debuggers are the norm these days, however, I still feel the urge to do a little printf-debugging now and then. It might be wrong, it might be silly but it works.
I like to develop the odd graphical application and I like use Qt. For Qt, the nice Norwegian Trolls have provided the qDebug function. You can use it right away just like your old trusted printf:
if(complexStatement(x)) { qDebug("This code executes when x = %d", x); ...
This works great for integers and other basic types. But, take the fairly common class QColor. Your first thought would probably be to write out each component manually:
qDebug("Color is: %x, %x, %x", color.red(), color.green(), color.blue());
This can be rather tedious, and there are types which are complex to print. For instance, QString, stores unicode strings and uses implicit sharing to reduce copying overhead. This gives you quick internationalized applications, but you cannot easily print the thing. To the rescue: qPrintable.
qDebug("A string: %s", qPrintable(myString));
The qPrintable macro is handy, but you also need to be aware of its quirks. The returned const char pointer is only valid for that very call. I.e. you cannot store it and re-use it - that will most likely give you garbage output.
// Do not do this const char *text = qPrintable(myString); // ... doSomething(text);
For those who refer to printf debugging as cout debugging, and those who like to have a more convenient API, I recommend including the QtDebug header. This way, you can stream most of Qt's types to qDebug. This means a more convenient API for when you need to print QColor values, etc:
qDebug() << color;
Printing using qDebug usually results in console output (you might have to add CONFIG += console to your project file to get output at all on some platforms). However, you can also install a message handler to present your messages in a GUI window, translate them, paint them in colors or just put them in a log file.
Johan Thelin is a consultant working with Qt, embedded and free
software. On-line, he is known as e8johan.
need more flexibility
While I am a BIG fan of QT, I quickly found the built in qDebug too limiting. You could only switch it on or off (no compile-time or run-time levels, and it couldn't write a log file without extra code.
I also looked breifly at other C++ logging libraries and framworks - of particular note, LOG4CPP, which I found much too heavy.
I found a great resource in Dr Dobbs Sept 2007 by Petru Marginean: "Logging in C++".
Logging in C++
Configurable compile-time and run-time levels, easily extended to write to a QT window as well as a log file, stable in multi-threaded apps, easy and light setup and syntax.
Cruising the QT community forums for Logging shows several people advising this simple lib.
Never be ashamed of logging output
Prinf-debugging has one great advantage over all other forms which is that you can use it in post-mortems. Your users can send you logs which help you reproduce the problem and see how it came about. You can record bits of system state (e.g. environment variables, commandline parameters used to run your program) and so on which are invaluable for finding out what went wrong, especially as people tend to tell white lies about these things sometimes.
If a program is not designed to allow some sort of logging (even as a compile-time option) then it is half-crippled.
Your users can send you logs?
Or, where possible, get the app to send you the info when its in trouble - nothing quite like fixing the problem before your customer complains.
Though make sure your the thing that sends you the email or whatever doesnt turn into a spambot.
Today's modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a "one size fits all" enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

The father of a girl who was left alone after apparently getting onto the wrong school bus insists his daughter boarded a First Student bus.
But the company said it reviewed all video from buses along the route, and all drivers said they hadn't picked up the girl.
"You can read the side of a bus," said father Brandon Moneyham.
The story reveals a larger issue about the way parents are notified about changes to the routine.
"They've changed their times, their pickup places, three times, and the only way you find out until you see them," Moneyham said.
Parent Nina Waller said her children usually wait on the north side of the street, but Friday the bus stopped on the south side and her children crossed while the bus waited.
"Opposite side of the street, weren't never supposed to be that way, and they didn't inform me or anything," Waller said.
Charter school King Academy relies on the Cincinnati Schools bus contract with First Student.
Routes change every two weeks to accommodate new students and those who change addresses.
Parents and schools are supposed to be notified.

Who should be the new mayor?
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Voters approved the Sanford Charter Commission's proposed recommendations during the election on Tuesday, Nov. 6, and in doing so changed Sanford from a town to a city. The new charter takes effect on Jan. 1, 2013, so when we celebrate New Year's Eve on Dec. 31, we will do so as a town, but once that clock strikes midnight, Sanford will have a designation as new as the year. |

Hi all!
We have a web application for Postgre database. During the testing we used org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource. Now we need moving to production and we should change this basic datasource with some other one. For Oracle we use oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSourceFactory.
What is the best datasource for Postgre, considering that our application has approximately 500 users? Should it be enough if we use c3p0 ComboPooledDataSource datasource?
Thank you in advance,

Report: Ryan Braun May Actually Win 50-Game Suspension Appeal
It's been a rather unpleasant offseason for Milwaukee Brewers left-fielder and 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun, but if recent indications prove true, it may take a turn for the better.
Last month, news broke over Braun's positive drug test for a banned substance that earned him a mandatory 50-game suspension to start his 2012 campaign. He has since appealed to the league in order to prove his innocence, but many were skeptical, if not doubtful, over whether or not his case had a legitimate shot of being overturned.
Brewers beat-writer Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited earlier today that former ESPN personality Dan Patrick, host of the Dan Patrick radio show, has unearthed from "somebody in the process" that Braun may in fact be an innocent man and that he may indeed be relieved of his suspension.
According to Haudricourt himself:
Patrick said he was told Sunday, again, by "somebody involved in the process" that the MLB test might be at fault and that Braun could be found innocent. The arbitration panel, with independent arbitrator Shyam Das expected to cast the decisive vote, has 25 days to render a verdict but it could come as soon as later this week.
Braun, who officially accepted his National League Most Valuable Player award on Saturday night in front of the Baseball Writers Association of America in New York City, has denied the allegations against him, told USA Today that the charges filed against him were "BS".
Last season, Braun, along with first-baseman Prince Fielder, shouldered the offensive load for the Brewers to the tune of 33 home runs, 111 RBI and a league-best .994 OPS. He also fell just decimal points behind former Mets shortstop Jose Reyes for the NL batting title.
If found innocent, it will not only clear Braun's name from the infamous list of players who have failed MLB's drug-testing policy, but it will give the retooled Brewers an obvious offensive boost toward repeating as NL Central champions in 2012.
Braun's official appeal took place last Thursday, according to the New York Daily News, but there is no definitive timetable for when an announcement regarding the matter will take place.

Major league baseball has a huge problem. Leaking that type of info calls for someone to be fired. Baseball owes a complete explanation of this event. Selig
cannot be that wrong about Braun. He used him to often as a standup guy. I also
agree with the decision that Braun not appear at the fan event. Somebody is out there looking for trouble, he does need to look for it.
In the words of Braun, that poll is "BS". lol. Does my perception of Braun change? No wonder it's split about 50/50, because, depending on if you thought he was on steroids, your answer will change. For example, I clicked "no" because I always thought he was innocent, so why would my perception change if what I thought was right? On the other hand, if you think he's a juicer, and you'd still think he's a juicer even if it was overturned, you'd pick… you guessed it, NO. Your perception didn't change either.
That is one enigma ish poll!
You have a very good blog. For a.. a long time looking for something so wonderful.

Custom Chiropractic Web Design Services
There is no question that you need a website for your chiropractic clinic. The only real question is - who will build this website for you? You could try building it yourself, but that is a steep learning curve that you don't have time for when trying to maintain a successful practice.

Not only are ALL of our websites built ready for search engine marketing right from the start, but we offer stellar Internet marketing campaigns that are guaranteed to bring you new patients!

Man, Casual mode is so lame. Thank you HON for ruining something pretty awesome. Lower tower armor after teammates die? What the hell is the point of towers then?! I don't understand that change at all! Why bother with this? Taking down towers is pretty vital early game for obvious reasons and late game it doesn't matter because most heroes destroy them quickly. The cherry thing is gayer than hell and is enough to make me not play anymore. I enjoyed HON while it lasted but will recommend everyone I know to stay away form purchasing it. If I wanted to play in Casual mode I could have gone played League of Legends which is free. HON now = LoL! Regarding cherry crap, that is highly inappropriate. HON isn't even thinking about girls playing who may be sensitive towards something like this. Losers.
Why is this so hard to understand?
Carries will still be powerful in CM.
Early game heroes can take advantage of the conditional tower armour debuff and push.
Fabulous announcer pack is meant to be funny, and if you don't like it, that is even better for the enemy player who got bloodlust on you.
If you cannot appreciate a change for good, you might as well just leave. Hardly few people would feel your absence.

How was your Explore Tour Leader?
Our tour leader, Sarah Quee, was excellent. Possessing comprehensive knowledge of the area, she enjoyed very good relationships with the locals and she instilled confidence in the group despite the challenging nature of the terrain. She quickly assessed the ability of each member of the group, giving assistance and support where necessary, while allowing those who were capable to forge ahead and explore the route. This enabled all four of us on the trip to get the most out of the trek and appreciate this amazing trail. With her experience, agility and personality, Sarah was absolutely central to ensuring the holiday was such a success. She was an absolute delight and I would be thrilled to walk with her again - I cannot recommend her highly enough.
What tips would you give to someone else booking this tour?
Ensure that you have experience of trekking and scrambling over difficult, steep and varied terrain, and have the fitness and enthusiasm to match!

Governor Christie: Don't Be Stupid, Get Out

Governor Chris Christie and National Weather Service meteorologist Gary Szatkowski may have been speaking from opposite ends of the state, but their message to residents about the power of the impending storm was clear. "Hurricane Sandy is already the deadliest hurricane of the 2012 season," Szatkowski said. "Please respect its power and heed the advice of local and state officials regarding any evacuations." Christie, speaking at a press conference in Pompton Lakes regarding the state of emergency (video attached to this story) and severe weather conditions anticipated from Hurricane Sandy. a boiled things down even further.

And, close to Christmas, at this time of closure and year-end balances, it's natural that our birthday becomes an occasion to reflect on the progress made and to look toward the future.
It seemed somewhat off-key and out of place to mark this moment with festivities; we therefore decided to put our story down in writing, simply and without much clamour: the history of Valsir, its founders and the stories entwined around its products, the market, the places where we live and work. A list of key words, one for each letter of the alphabet, with a total of 25 stories, 25 just like Valsir's years.
Valsir overhauls its range of tools dedicated to the plumber: advanced appliances that are lighter, more ergonomic, easier to use and, thanks to the introduction of electronic controls, more reliable

Anybody who's been following the federal transportation drama knows that it's been a saga of anxiety-provoking bill extensions with continued threats to funding for biking. And then nothing. And then something. And then just kidding.
With your help, we've fended some of those threats off and have kept bike funding at current levels—still not nearly enough or equitable as I noted on Monday, but at least not as bloody as a Coen brothers movie.
But boy howdy, here we go. The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is poised to rip everything out of the bill for bicycling (and walking) with a vote tomorrow. I give you: the "American Energy and Infrastructure Act." And it gives you: nothing.
I bet you could have guessed that based on the '50s era title page of the summary alone. Let's see: transportation = oil pipeline + large concrete highway spans all superimposed on an American flag. Um, that's not my country thank you very much.
The details aren't any better. The bill looks like it will:
- Kill programs "that do not have a federal interest"—like all bicycling programs. This means eliminating Transportation Enhancements and even Safe Routes to School. Nothing should unite us in a fight like Congress going after kid safety. Let me upgrade my piece on Monday from "Not. Fair." to "Simply. Disgusting."
- Reduce city and metro control over funding, giving more of it—"flexibility"—to state DOTs, which, in general, haven't demonstrated strong support for bicycling
- Gut or eliminate discretionary funds like the very successful TIGER program that Senator Patty Murray helped create
- Squeeze the environmental review process, which will likely mean more impacts to our health and environmental health
If this makes it out of the committee, what next? It'll go to the House floor for debate and likely get passed. Then the bill would be conferenced with a Senate bill, MAP-21, if MAP-21 is passed by the Senate. I wrote about MAP-21 when it was released in November; it certainly has its share of serious problems, but it doesn't rip out all bike funding like the House bill.
Why bother with your representative? While we're not expecting a miracle for it to simply be rewritten or go away, a strong bipartisan showing in the House Transportation Committee means a better chance of working something reasonable out with the Senate. Like something that doesn't gut bike funding. Like something that keeps our state, cities and towns building the protected bike lanes, cycle tracks and greenways for all of us to reliably and safely get around by bicycle.
And I'd vote for that.

The death of a loved one creates many changes for surviving family members. These range from changes in household routines to changes in priorities or plans for the future. The process of adapting and reacting to new life situations may take months or years.
Common changes
After the death of a close friend or family member, a person may experiences the following changes:
Relationships. It is normal to experience changes in the way you relate to family and friends and in the way they relate to you. Some family or friends may distance themselves from you because they worry about not knowing what to say or how to act. Others may surprise you with dedicated support, and those relationships may become closer than ever. Because your interests, priorities, or goals may shift after the death of a loved one, you may lose a point of connection in some of your relationships. Meanwhile, changes in your interests and activities may lead to new relationships and new friendships.
Routines. Most people have a daily routine that structures their time and offers a sense of consistency. For families taking care of a loved one with cancer, much of this daily routine centers on hospital visits or caregiving tasks. When the loved one dies, this familiar routine abruptly ends. It is normal for family members to feel lost when someone close dies, and it takes time to develop a new routine that feels familiar and comfortable. Learn more about adjusting to life after caregiving ends.
Responsibilities. In most families, each person is responsible for certain tasks. One person may do yard work and cooking, while another pays bills or does the laundry. When a spouse or family member dies, these jobs become the responsibility of surviving family members. Some tasks, such as doing the taxes, may be completely new, and having to learn a new skill can be stressful. If the deceased person was ill for a long time, family members who acted as caregivers may experience a feeling of emptiness once their responsibility of caring for that person has ended. In fact, they may be flooded by emotions that they kept hidden during those final busy months of active caregiving.
Employment and finances. If the deceased family member was a primary wage earner, other family members may need to work more hours, go back to work after an absence, or go to work for the first time. For a parent with young children, this may mean arranging for daycare and having less time to spend at home. The death of a family member may also mean a change in the family's finances, such as fewer paychecks, a difference in social security benefits, or payment from a life insurance policy.
Faith and spirituality. It is normal to question religious or spiritual beliefs or your understanding of the meaning of life after the death of someone you love. This is particularly true if the death seems especially untimely or unfair, such as when a child or a young spouse dies. In these cases, previously held assumptions about life may not fit with the experience of death. While some may question their faith or religious beliefs, others find that their faith becomes stronger and a source of comfort.
Priorities and goals. You may find that your priorities change to reflect what matters most to you now. Previous priorities such as work may be replaced by new priorities such as spending more time with family and friends or focusing on your own health. It may also be necessary to change priorities for practical reasons. For instance, if you have just become the family's primary wage earner, finding a good job and focusing on your career might need to become a high priority. The death of a loved one can also change goals and hopes. Plans for early retirement, traveling, or additional children may need to change as family members adjust to a new lifestyle.
Activities and interests. You may find that you lose interest in some activities that you previously enjoyed, including activities you shared with your loved one. As your priorities and responsibilities change, you may also develop new interests. Some people become involved in activities that were important to the deceased or spend time volunteering at a local hospital or a cancer advocacy organization.
Coping with change
Adjusting to any change can be stressful. The following strategies may help you better cope with the changes that follow a loved one's death:
Take time making major decisions. The year after the death of a loved one is a period of emotional turmoil. A decision that seems right during this time may not seem right a few months later. Mental health experts suggest waiting at least a year before making any major decisions, such as moving or changing jobs. Consider making a list of decisions and tasks, and figure out which ones must be completed immediately. Try to hold off on important decisions that can wait.
Share new responsibilities. It takes time for family members to negotiate new responsibilities and for the family to settle into a new routine. As a family, talk about what household jobs need to be done and who will be responsible for which tasks. Also, talk about changes in the family routine. This is especially important for younger children who may be particularly upset by disruptions in their routine.
Ask for and accept help. Friends and family will want to help you but might not know what you need or how to ask. Be specific about your needs and have a list of tasks that people can do. If you are learning how to perform unfamiliar tasks, such as car maintenance or cooking, ask someone to show you what to do, or consider taking a class.
Get help handling financial and legal matters. The many financial and legal tasks that follow a death often seem overwhelming, especially if you are not used to handling your own financial and legal affairs. If the deceased family member was ill for a long time, you may also have health insurance claims and medical bills to manage. If possible, seek the advice of a legal or financial expert, such as a lawyer, accountant, or financial adviser. These services usually cost money, but they can help you plan your legal and financial future and may help you save money in the long run.
Get advice before returning to work. If you are returning to work after a long absence or going to work for the first time, you may consider talking with a career counselor. A career counselor can help you write a resume and perform a job search, as well as help you decide what career choices might suit you best. Many state and county governments offer free job training and career counseling services.
Consider keeping a journal. Keeping a journal or a diary can help you make sense of the changes you are experiencing. In addition to writing about your feelings and thoughts, you can use your journal to help organize your tasks, priorities, and plans. Looking back through your journal can help you see how your priorities and goals have changed, as well as how your ability to cope has improved.
Consider joining a support group. Support groups offer you the chance to talk with others who share your feelings and experiences. Other people who have lost a loved one to cancer have likely experienced many of the same changes and can offer you both emotional support and practical advice as you adjust.
Remember the positive. Reorganizing your priorities, developing new interests, and learning new skills can bring positive changes to your life. Allow yourself to feel proud of new accomplishments, and remember that it is not disloyal to your loved one to enjoy new activities or set new goals.

Welcome to
Very bad way to begin Thanksgiving break... Striker suddenly passed tonight... he was fine all day, ate dinner like normal... I get in the shower and quenten comes to get me, by the time I got out there he was gone... why are we having this horrible luck... I am taking this as God's way of saying we are a one dog family, which is incredibly sad...
So sorry to hear this news .
My mother died on memorial day and my brother the day after Labor day. My last GSP died 2 hours after I got home from my cancer surgery two days befor July 4.I know the feeling of asking " Why this not so great timming" Maybe its Strikers way for saying "thank you" to the family for all time.
I am so sorry about your loss of Striker, what a horrible shock. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
I am so incredibly sorry for what has happened......such a shock. I think that maybe Striker was destined to be a part of your family because he would receive a full lifetime worth of fun and love in the short time he was with you all! It's so incredibly difficult to lose one of these wee souls, especially so suddenly - but it sounds like he had the perfect life for a gsp! Your ayrshire buddies are thinking of you all x
How very, very sad. I feel so sorry for you and your family. I know I would just be devestated.
Like Bev said, don't give up on having more than one dog . . . Striker was lucky to have you as a family for the time he was here. We almost always tend to out live our dogs. It is just part of having them in our lives.
Thinking of you and your husband, as well as the boys.
I am so, so sorry to hear this! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am so sorry too, we all suffered with you over dear Donner, and now Striker! I lost my Jasper suddenly--fine in the morning, dead when I came home from work--so I know how numb and disbelieving you feel. Just remember that Striker had a wonderful life and think about offering that to another GSP soon.
Dam' that rainbow bridge is getting crowded.
I deeply Treasure the time I spent with all the Shorthair loving people at the GSPCA 2011 National Specialty at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. The best part for me was to meet the people on this forum with their beloved Shorthairs... Marcia , Blitz and Striker I will always treasure deeply the fun time we experienced being Newbies at this event. Striker will always live in my heart. Too soon, too young to pass. You are deeply in my prayers. RIP Striker.

The Anson County Sheriff's Office's annual Youth Skeet Shoot was a big success.
More than 30 youths, ages 17 and under, signed up for the event, which was held Oct. 20 at Devil's Rib Hunting Preserve in Peachland. Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen said that this was the largest turnout in the 10-year history of the event. "We had a big group of shooters and a much larger group of spectators, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and the general public. Our volunteers gave away 150 hot dogs with all the trimmings. The skill level of these kids was astonishing. Many of them will be adult champion shooters one day."
Sheriff Allen went on to say he wanted to thank the volunteers who helped put the skeet shoot together, including his staff who were there all day and the event's main sponsors: Professional Pipe, Pee Dee Electric and Allen's General Store, who made the whole thing possible. He wanted to especially thank Devil's Rib Hunting Preserve that provided their personnel and the hunting preserve all day long and donated all the skeet.
Winners for the event were as follows: Ages 14 and under, Jaxon Cook, first place, and Michael Preslar, second place; ages 15 and 16, James Buccolo, first place, and Dalton Rodenberger, second place; ages 17 and 18, Chris Mullis, first place, and John Harrington, second place. The overall champion was Tony Beachum.

The InterCityHotel Group has joined forces with colleges of art to launch a special and unique project in which art students create tailored photographic works for InterCityHotels. Since 2008, all new InterCityHotels have featured specially produced photo art designed to match in with the respective hotel and its surrounding environment. In 2011, this successful project was extended to include existing InterCityHotels and hotels which have recently been renovated.
The Frankfurt-based InterCityHotel Group has been busy turning its city hotels into art galleries since 2008, when it implemented a concept unique in Germany. Under a special arrangement entered into with colleges, art students are producing photographic works for new and newly renovated InterCityHotels. The hotel group's initial cooperation partner was the Academy of Fine Arts in Braun¬schweig, the project later being continued in conjunction with the Faculty of Design at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences. The young artists involved undertake extensive preparatory work by carefully researching the past and present of the location in question. They then create photographic works of art which interpret the environment in which the hotel stands. The works themselves may be viewed both in the public areas of the hotel and in the guest rooms.
The newly constructed InterCityHotel in Dresden served as a pilot for the project in 2008. It was followed in the same year by establishments in Essen and Mainz and then by the InterCityHotels in Hannover, at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport and in Mannheim. The first newly renovated hotel to display specially created photo art was the InterCityHotel in Kiel in 2011. Art galleries have also been in place in Ulm and Vienna since last year.

is filaria curable
why after the filaria adult worms die you are prone to develop lymphoedema, instead one should get rid of the worm and the disease.
when one take medicine for filaria, it only kill the micro filaria in the blood and seems there is no lymphoedema as long the adult worm live in the lymphatic system. But lymphodema start once the adult worm live its lifespan and dies. Why? Thanks. |

When the worms die, their bodies don't just disappear! They stay in the lymph nodes and rot.

Thanks for the reply.
Is a filaria patient who is under medication i.e microfilaria only in the blood get killed, but the adult worms are unaffected and remain in his lymphatic system. Is he also capable to spread the worm through mosquito bite? |
