Our screenplay.
Our screenplay is now available as a free download.
This is not a "shooting script" conformed to the final picture, it's actually the final draft of the script we went into production with, and differs from the final film in many respects, which are hopefully more interesting than annoying.
A brief introduction is attached to the script. Enjoy, share and disperse freely. Just don't make any money off of it without letting us know (mostly because we'd be fascinated to know how you managed to make any money off it.)

By Jennifer Martin
Clarence Davis was just 18 years old when he enlisted in the armed forces.
"I didn't ask my mother and daddy nothing about it," he remembers. "I just went and signed up. Come home and told them I was fixin' to go in the Navy."
It didn't take him long to see action.
"We fired the 1st shot from a ship at Iwo Jima. We went from there to Okinowa to the east China Sea and stayed 33 days and nights blowing up mines, getting ready to invade Japan. At night, you didn't sleep too good in a mine field. They give us a Bronze Star for it. Said it was as dangerous as being at Iwo Jima or Okinawa."
And he knew the dangers of Okinowa firsthand.
"We was hit with a suicide plane at Okinowa. It killed 19. There was one boy standing there with his head cut off. He was on a 20 mm gunny. He's standing there holding the grips just like he's firing."
When his crew left the mine fields in the china sea, they headed for the Phillipines. It was there Davis contracted a fungus that would stay with him the rest of his life.
"They put us in the landing barge and that thing was leaking. And the man who run it, run it up to the edge about 30 or 40 feet from the land and just dropped the front gate and told us to unload. It was gonna sink. And we waded out after they told us not to get in the water. And we got that fungus on us. It was the day before they dropped the atomic bomb."
From the Philippines, they headed back to Okinawa, and eventually began transporting troops back to the US. In one trip, they got lost in a storm in the north Pacific.
"Stayed lost three days and nights. The sun didn't shine. The moon didn't shine. And they picked us up on radar and told us what course to come."
Davis was discharged shortly after that in January 1946. He still suffers from the fungus he got in the Phillipines. But Davis says he can't get his veterans health benefits to pay for the medication. The pills cost more than $350 a month. He says the government won't pay because he can't estimate his net worth. The government assesses the veteran's income and net worth to determine what benefits they qualify for.
"When I went in they told us we'd have medical care as long as we live and they're still telling that, and that's as big a lie... They said, 'well that was just a figure of speech, that's not in writing.' But if their word's not any good, their writing's not any good as far as I can see it."
WLBT contacted the V.A. about Davis's claim. We were told that his income level is likely to not make him eligible. And that a lot of veterans from his era were promised care that could not be delivered. The V.A. says Mr. Davis can't or won't supply information regarding his income.

this is not good..even for the Flanker..gruesome technology of the future..
KUALA LUMPUR: Internal sources within the Parliaments and defence contractors have been found to be leaking Defence Ministry secrets to a foreign embassy in the country, claimed its minister Datuk Seri Wahid Zamidi.
Issuing a stern warning to the individuals responsible, he added that the ministry would not compromise with such practices which violate the Official Secrets Act 1942 where suspects would be taken into custody,and executed or sent to labour camps for being the traitor to the great and strong Federation of Malaysia..
"I don't want anyone at any position to sell information to external parties. I will make an announcement after meeting the Prime Minister regarding the information that was leaked to a foreign embassy, which allegedly used internal sources," he told newsmen after his ministry's monthly gathering and launch of its sekolah pondok donation campaign here Thursday.
Wahid said the alleged photo leakage was discovered following investigations by the ministry's intelligence corps.
The information leaked includes the top secret national 7th generation fighter programme "FASTER-FC" which has been known by reliable sources were a JV between Irkustk/KNaaPO and RMAF recently and had a plant and R&D facilities somewhere in the state of Perak,
He said after receiving the information, the intelligence corps worked closely with the police to carry out further investigations.
Hopefully, he said foreign defence attaches would carry out their duties according to set guidelines.
"I hope no one will take advantage of their positions in this country to carry out unethical activities."
On whether the alleged individuals were selling information about the country's defence, he said: "I believe they have been paid handsomely with young women and money where we found out to be irresistable."
On how long such a practice had been going on, he said "i just found out a moment agot through a phone call from MINDEF stating that they had identify a number of person involved.
He said the intelligence corps had been monitoring such practices and previously, and they found out that contractors,VVIP`s and Dato`s who involved indirectly with this project were involved and subsequently arrested and executed without trials.
Earlier in his speech at the monthly gathering, he said civil servants including Armed Forces personnel were bound by the Official Secrets Act and if they leak information, they could be charged and given death sentence for being a traitor and a spy to foreign enemies.
"We also had taken into custody Dr Kuang Kia Soong who also questioned the Armed Forces spending, We tickle him in the armpit point blanc after interrogations and we found out that he is not working alone".
Meanwhile, when asked by journalist regarding the now not so top secret fighter programme...he said the hyperdrive powered....with laser weaponry fighter is the answer for next generation of aerial warfare technology and a leap forward for defence industry where we now built our own combat aircraft with assistance from any NGO`s....
"we will unveiled the aircraft in next LIMA exhibition as a surprise to all nation who try to oppose us.."he said.

Energy Experts: Deploying More Solar in Texas Will Create New Jobs, Ensure Grid Reliability
WASHINGTON, DC – In a new report, energy experts say Texas can help ensure the reliability of its electricity supply by deploying more solar energy, especially during the coming summer months. In recent years, Texas summers have been marked by extreme heat and drought. Wednesday, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) issued its Seasonal Assessment of Resource Adequacy (SARA) as well as the semiannual update to its long-term Capacity, Demand and Reserves (CDR) report.
Massachusetts Crushes Solar Goals, Aims Much Higher
Massachusetts has already surpassed its goal of installing 250 megawatts (MW) of solar energy by 2017. Just a tad early, eh? Obviously, 250 MW was far too small of a goal, so the state is planning to increase the goal to 1,600 MW (1.6 GW).
SEIA Applauds Massachusetts' New Solar Goals
WASHINGTON, DC – The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today applauded an announcement that Massachusetts has surpassed Governor Deval Patrick's goal of installing 250 megawatts (MW) of solar energy by 2017 and the Administration plans to expand the Massachusetts solar goal to 1.6 gigawatts (GW). The 250 MW benchmark has been met nearly four years ahead of schedule.

Former Colorado Senate Majority Spokesman To Head Solar Association
Eddie Stern, the former director of communications for the Colorado Senate Majority, has been hired as the director of the Colorado Solar Energy Association, the group formed in 1989 that represents hundreds of solar industry members across the state.
Adam Browning: California Utilities Fighting Solar Progress
Solar energy is one of California's biggest success stories. Homes, schools and businesses are going solar in record numbers. The growing industry now employs 43,000 Californians and has infused $10 billion in private investment into our otherwise limping economy.
Volkswagen Switches On Its Largest Solar-Energy Complex
Volkswagen AG switched on its largest photo-voltaic installation worldwide as Europe's biggest carmaker builds on its U.S. auto factory's recognition by an environmental group for sustainable operations.
Solar Power Installations Hit Record in Mass.
Massachusetts recorded its largest number of new solar power installations in 2012, as hundreds of homeowners and large institutions and businesses, such as schools and big box stores, took advantage of government-backed incentives for renewable resources.
Time for Private Purchases of Renewable Power
Five years ago, North Carolina became the first state in the Southeast to set a renewable energy and efficiency standard. The 12.5 percent by 2021 standard is a great goal, and we should keep raising the bar.

Sometimes They Just Don't Want To
June 30, 2010
Wanda's 9 months old and she still can't put any weight on her legs. While other babies her age are walking around wreaking havoc, she's content to cause trouble on the down low, crawling along like an inch-worm. At six months I wasn't worried. Each baby develops at her own pace. But at nine months this struck me as odd.
Our pediatrician gave her a thorough exam. He said that some babies don't put weight on their legs because they physically can't while others avoid it because they don't want to. All of Wanda's structures are intact. He says she's just a "don't want to" kind of girl for now.
Now this "not wanting to" doesn't imply that she doesn't become enraged and impatient whenever she sees another baby walk. Oh, she gets mad! She screeches and flaps her arms like an angry monkey and then rocks back and forth on her hands and knees. But when we try to pull her up to standing, her legs go limp like rotund noodles. She doesn't WANT to. But I think she wants to want to because she likes what wanting implies.
Sometimes it's hard to tell whether someone can't do something or just doesn't have the desire or willpower. As a parent, I feel like I'm supposed to have it all magically figured out.
For a while I was really worried about Magoo's attention span because it seems he's always forgetting things, forgetting to stop playing Wii when he's done his level, forgetting to do his chores, forgetting that he's not allowed to turn on the light in his bedroom at night and flood it with water.
I'm starting to clue in to the fact that he may just not want to remember.
In Laylee's case for a long time we thought she just "didn't want to" listen very well. Then at age 5 we found out that she needed hearing aids and felt awful for all the times we'd gotten on her case about paying closer attention to instructions.
Dan and I "can't do" fix-it projects around the house... mostly because we don't want to. We could learn how to do pretty much anything if we put our minds and our backs into it but we choose to say, "We're just not handy," rather than, "We'd rather not."
I wonder if Wanda's in denial about her lack of mobility or if she joys in the fact that she can decide whether to use her chubby little legs or not. Personally, I'm glad that she's currently choosing not to stand or walk. Legs on a baby are dangerous things and the use of them should be avoided as long as possible.

The Yanks didn't stomp anyone. We basically handed the Series to them in game 3 when Hamels decided he didn't want to get anyone out anymore.
Nice job losing to the Twins last night. Coming back from a 6-0 deficit only to lose when a ball hits the catwalk that in every other stadium on the planet would have been a pop-up out.
Actually, I'd watch the Rays and Rangers. The Rangers look scary good this season and the moves they made were pretty huge: Lee, Guzman, Cantu, all huge trades. Especially Guzman. I'm really surprised Washington parted with him. And they're running away with the West. The Rays aren't going away either.
Go Bravos!!!!!!!!!
Bravos better be looking over their shoulder. We've gone this season with 7 of our starting 8, 2 starting pitchers, 3 key bullpen pitchers, and a few other guys on the DL, a stretch where we couldn't score any runs, and playing as inconsistent as a team can get and we're still only 2 games back. If the Phils can stay close and get healthy, it's not even going to be close. They'll win going away.

MOSCOW, July 9 (Reuters) - Russia's rouble-traded share index turned negative in the second half of the session on Tuesday, with the country's leading drugmaker the biggest decliner after it said it had taken steps to spin off its over-the-counter medicines business.
The rouble-denominated MICEX index erased its morning gain, trading down 0.4 percent, while the dollar-traded RTS index remained 0.5 percent up on the day.
Pharmstandard was down 8 percent at the close of trading after the company said it would buy back shares from investors who do not support a spin-off deal at 2,180 roubles, a 2.5 percent discount to its closing price the previous day.
The Russian company, majority owned by businessmen Viktor Kharitonin and Egor Kulkov, said on Monday it was planning to buy a Singapore-based company called Bever Pharmaceutical in a deal valued at $630 million.
Brent crude hit a three-month high of $107 per barrel on Monday and was steady on Tuesday, boosting Russia's currency.
The currency was 0.6 percent stronger at 33 against the dollar on Tuesday and also stronger against the dollar-euro basket at 37.23.
The rouble has performed strongly against the dollar compared with last week, when it hit its weakest in a year against the U.S. currency.
'Price action was fuelled by the generally positive trend in the emerging market forex spectrum... We believe that the relatively high crude oil price offered support to RUB,' VTB Capital said in a note.

[JURIST] Participants in the United Nations Climate Change Conference [official website] agreed in Bali, Indonesia Saturday to a timetable for negotiating a new international treaty on global warming [EPA materials; JURIST news archive]. Under the "Bali Roadmap" [PDF text; press release, PDF], the 187 participating nations pledged to a negotiate a new agreement to replace the expiring Kyoto Protocol [text; JURIST news archive] by 2009:
The decision includes a clear agenda for the key issues to be negotiated up to 2009. These are: action for adapting to the negative consequences of climate change, such as droughts and floods; ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; ways to widely deploy climate-friendly technologies and financing both adaptation and mitigation measures.Concluding negotiations in 2009 will ensure that the new deal can enter into force by 2013, following the expiry of the first phase of the Kyoto Protocol.
[JURIST] Republican senators Friday blocked US Senate agreement to provisions in a House of Representatives intelligence funding bill passed [JURIST report] Thursday limiting CIA interrogation methods by invoking a Senate rule against the late insertion of new language in legislation. House and Senate negotiators had added language to HR 2082 [materials] that would bar the CIA from using techniques not authorized in a 2006 Army Field Manual, Field Manual 2-22.3 [PDF text], which explicitly prohibits the use of waterboarding, electrocution, sensory deprivation, inducing hypothermia, or depriving the subject of food, water, or medical care. Adding language in the process of legislative negotiation between houses of Congress is hardly unprecedented, but it can be challenged on the principle that lawmakers did not have a chance to consider it in original versions of the legislation they approved. Under Senate rules the added language is dropped. The proposed restriction on CIA interrogations was already facing a likely veto challenge from President Bush, who in July 2007 signed [JURIST report] a controversial executive order [text] that prohibits cruel and inhuman treatment during the interrogation of terror suspects detained by the CIA, but allows "enhanced interrogation techniques" and may exempt the CIA from Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. The order does not specify what specific interrogation techniques are now disallowed, but the order prohibits "acts intended to denigrate the religion, religious practices, or religious objects of the individual," and "torture" as defined in 18 USC 2340.
[JURIST] Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf Saturday lifted emergency rule over the country as anticipated [JURIST report], issuing an order [official version, PDF; HTML text] reviving the suspended constitution, entrenching members of the country's post-emergency judiciary, and insulating actions taken under the emergency from any future legal challenges. The Revocation of Proclamation of Emergency Order 2007 also provides that the parliamentary elections scheduled for January 8 will take place as scheduled. In a televised ceremony afterwards, Musharraf personally swore in [Straits Times report] Chief Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar of the Supreme Court of Pakistan under a new oath under the revived constitution replacing the one he had originally taken to the regime under the Provisional Constitution Order (PCO) promulgated when the emergency was declared on November 3. Dogar then reswore the other PCO top court judges.Rights groups expressed ambivalence about the lifting of the emergency, criticizing Musharraf's self-accorded impunity, his refusal to reinstate ousted members of the pre-emergency Supreme Court and provincial High Courts and his unilateral addition of restrictive amendments [JURIST report] to the restored constitution. In a statement [text] Saturday, a spokesman for Human Rights Watch said that:
Musharrafs so-called return to constitutional rule provides legal cover to laws that muzzle the media and lawyers and gives the army a license to abuse. A genuine restoration of Pakistans constitution would require Musharraf to return to the constitution and judiciary that existed before November 3.
Since November 3, Musharraf has repeatedly and arbitrarily amended the constitution to enshrine the legality of various laws and provide himself and the military blanket immunity for all actions taken during emergency rule. The executive order to amend the constitution includes a number of amendments that would normally require a two-thirds majority in parliament to become law. Among them, Musharraf has withdrawn from Pakistans courts the power to review all governmental actions for which he, his government or the military may be responsible, since the imposition of emergency rule on November 3.
[JURIST] US Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Friday that the Department of Justice will not provide information to congressional officials regarding its ongoing probe into the CIA's destruction of videotapes [JURIST reports] showing the interrogation of terror suspects. In a letter [PDF text] to top members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mukasey wrote:
the Department has a long-standing policy of declining to provide non-public information about pending matters. This policy is based in part on our interest in avoiding any perception that our law enforcement decisions are subject to political influence. Accordingly, I will not at this time provide further information in response to your letter, but appreciate the Committee's interests in this matter. At my confirmation hearing, I testified that I would act independently, resist political pressure and ensure that politics plays no role in cases brought by the Department of Justice. Consistent with that testimony, the facts will be followed wherever they lead in this inquiry, and the relevant law applied.Finally, with regard to the suggestion that I appoint a special counsel, I am aware of no facts at present to suggest that Department attorneys cannot conduct this inquiry in an impartial manner. If I become aware of information that leads me to a different conclusion, I will act on it.
The Judiciary Committee has an important role in the oversight of the Department of Justice. Oversight fosters accountability. This Committee needs to fully understand whether the government used cruel interrogation techniques and torture, contrary to our basic values.
Just two days ago, CIA Director Michael Hayden appeared before our Committee to address the CIA's destruction of videotapes. In that hearing, he committed to providing materials relevant to our investigation. Earlier today, our staff was notified that the Department of Justice has advised CIA not cooperate with our investigation.We are stunned that the Justice Department would move to block our investigation. Parallel investigations occur all of the time, and there is no basis upon which the Attorney General can stand in the way of our work. ...It's clear that there's more to this story than we have been told, and it is unfortunate that we are being prevented from learning the facts. The Executive Branch can't be trusted to oversee itself. Congress must conduct its own investigation.
[JURIST] The UN Human Rights Council [official website] voted Friday to end the mandate of a group of seven human rights experts tasked with monitoring the rights situation in the Darfur region [JURIST news archive] in Sudan. The council did, however, extend the mandate of its Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Sudan [OHCHR materials] and adopted a resolution [press release] urging "the Government to continue and to intensify its efforts to implement the recommendations identified by the Group of Experts in accordance with the specified time frames and indicators."The council's actions follow demands by several African countries that political pressure on Sudan be eased, and rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, condemned the decision to disband the group of experts. AP has more. The UN News Centre has additional coverage.

Police shooting suspect in court
07:05, Dec 6 2013
A man will appear in court charged with the attempted murder of two police officers after one was left in hospital with serious gunshot wounds.
James Leslie, 37, of Cardigan Road, Leeds, is accused of shooting the 33-year-old woman officer in the Headingley area of the city shortly after 4am on Wednesday.
She had been attending a routine neighbourhood call with a colleague when she was shot, suffering serious injuries to her head, neck and right hand. Her fellow officer was uninjured and she remains in a stable condition.
Leslie was arrested near a primary school about a mile from the scene of the shooting.
West Yorkshire Police said he had also been charged with possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, possession of a prohibited firearm, criminal damage and possession of cannabis.
Story continues
He was remanded in custody and will appear before Leeds magistrates court today.

Manchin criticized some political leaders in the ongoing debate who say, "'If you make the rich pay any more, that will take money out of the economy.' Why didn't that happen in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999?"
Manchin also expressed strong opposition to proposals from political leaders to privatize government benefit programs.
"These programs should not be put in the hands of Wall Street or the free market system. I am totally opposed to privatizing Social Security or voucherizing Medicare."
Social Security is particularly important in West Virginia because of the advanced age of the state's residents.
"When 55 percent of West Virginians retire, the main source of their income is Social Security."
Manchin also opposes proposals to raise the retirement age for full Social Security benefits from 67 to 69.
"I would not consider that unless there is a waiver for the type of work you have done," Manchin said, pointing out "how stressful it can be on a person's body to work in underground coal mines for years."
Manchin said he supports cuts in the federal budget of $1.2 trillion over 10 years: $600 billion from the defense budget and $600 billion from domestic programs.
(That would come to cuts of $60 billion each year, for each of those sectors.)
"In 2001, the defense budget was a little over $300 billion. Now it is $700 billion. And we have two wars that we have not paid for.
"We spent $1 trillion in Iraq and have already spent $500 billion in Afghanistan. It was never our mandate to occupy and reconstruct those countries.
"We have a DOD [Department of Defense] that spends more than all the other industrial nations in the world put together," Manchin said.
Several people also spoke about their own experiences during the Monday morning conversation.
Diane Kimble said, "I grew up in poverty. Most people who grow up in poverty are embarrassed to talk about it.
"My father was in the Navy during World War II, then worked in a chemical plant for 10 years. He died when I was 7.
"Today, my husband and I are both retired teachers living off of Social Security and Medicare.
"We want fair play. We cannot balance the budget on the backs of poor children, veterans and people who have worked their whole lives," Kimble said.
Nikki Kinder praised financial aid, like the federal Pell grants that helped her attend Marshall University.
"I live by myself today. Pell Grants have kept me out of more than $15,000 of debt. It also inspired my mother, who is 53 and back in college now."

Further train delays hit commuters
8:34am Monday 6th January 2014 in Echo News By Luke Lambert
COMMUTERS were once again hit by delays as signal problems affected train services this morning.
There was disruption on the C2C service between Shoeburyness and Fenchurch Street due to signalling problem between Pitsea Train Station and Grays Train Station.
Buses have been drafted in to replace trains between Pitsea and Grays via Tilbury, with delays and cancellations possible across the rest of the network.
Disruption is expected to last until around 9.30am.

Shelter: Lula Tye Shelter: sleeps 8. Little Rock Pond Shelter; sleeps 8. Greenwall Shelter; sleeps 8.
Pass Dartmouth College, hike over Smarts Mountain, and explore thick woodlands on this multi-day, 36-mile trip. Peakbaggers: Several side trails lead to nearby summits.
Earmark a long weekend for this 20.9-miler that connects Massachusetts to Vermont. Highlights include: sweet lookout views and a walk on The Long Trail--the country's first long--distance trail.
Swimming is not a common word on the AT, but a highlight on this 16.5-mile hike at Griffith Lake. There is a fun rock scramble on Baker Peak too.
Roll over piney ridges into lovely valleys and lonely pastures on this 21.3-mile leg. Don't miss: Take side trip to Cloudland Farm where organic ice cream is only a few bucks away.
Go from muddy pastures to riverside views to rocky summits on this 26-mile segment.
The hotspot on this 21.1-miler is Glastenbury Mountain, a 3,748-foot summit that Native Americans believe is cursed and a place where several people went missing in the mid-1900s.
Even as this 19.2-mile stretch of the Vermont Long Trail loses more elevation than it gains. Plus: thru-hikers are treated to pond-side shelters, Green Mountain overlooks, and more challenging terrain.
At 9.9 miles, this multi-use loop gently climbs an old logging road crisscrossing Cotton Brook, then moves up the banks of a reservoir with dramatic views of the Worcester Range.
Climb less than 1,000 ft. to craggy overlooks of Lake Willoughby and Mount Pisah on this 8.3-mile out-and-back in Willoughby State Park.
A massive oak, a sprawling wetland, an atomic lake-this classic weekend trip packs it all into a 19.2-mile out-and-back on the Appalachian Trail. Bonus: Save the Earth by taking the train to the trailhead.

"Politics is the Art of Looking for Trouble, Finding it Everywhere, Diagnosing it Incorrectly, and Applying the Wrong Remedies"
**** you refs you collective pieces of ****. New England games are always the most frustrating games of the year anyways without the refs sucking off the Pats. Reshad Jones has the audacity of deflecting a pass so he gets a flag but Tannehill gets facemasked and they "somehow" miss it? Why the **** do i have the feeling if Brady was running the ball the refs eyes would be glued on him. Oh, i get that feeling because the NFL is corrupt as the day is long.
**** these mother****ers.
Don't you find it interesting that the referees go on strike and the Patriots look a lot more vulnerable. Then, they come back and the Patriots are mysteriously invincible again. Same for the Steelers. Kraft and Hunt aren't involved with the referees...are they?

- With it's proximity to great beaches and fantastic scuba diving packages, The Palms Resort is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to enjoy some scuba diving adventures while on holiday!
- For a great scuba diving holiday in Barbados you can't beat the location of Nautilus Beach Apartments! Nautilus is situated directly on Carlisle Bay which boasts at least five shipwrecks!
Barbados Scuba Diving
Scuba Diving In The Caribbean!
The fringes and reefs found off Barbados blossom with healthy sponges, coral and plant life. There are several types of reefs, each one unique in its own special way.
The barrier reefs, located 1/2 - 2 miles from shore contain large coral heads which form the habitat for thousands of beautiful fish and are perfect for snorkeling. Larger organisms are also found on these reefs, feeding on the smaller fish. The Hawksbill turtle can also be found on these reefs.
Fringes and patching reefs are found closer to shore and have smaller coral formations and more abundant plant life then the barrier reefs. These reefs are home to Sea Horses, Frog Fish, Giant Sand Eels and many other marine creatures.
Wrecks form fascinating habitats for marine life and Barbados has several excellent sites for wreck diving. Carlisle Bay, with 200 reported wrecks, and the Sacroiliac, located at Folkestone Marine Park, are two of the most popular sites.
Barbados is ideal for year-round diving but is probably best in the summer months. The visibility ranges from 40 to 70ft and the water temperature is a consistent 80 degrees F.
There are several dive operators who will provide equipment, advice and guided tours to ensure that your diving experience is extremely enjoyable!

6.4.8. Output from System Calls |
The output of system( ), exec( ), and open(PIPE,"|program") calls will not be sent to the browser unless Perl was configured with sfio. To learn if your version of Perl is sfio-enabled, look at the output of the perl -V command for the useperlio and d_sfio strings.

Tax talks come to forefront in Ridgewood
Ridgewood's 3.1 percent municipal tax increase last year ranked among the highest of all Bergen County towns, based on information released by the county Board of Taxation.
Of the 69 municipalities included in the tax board's report, the village's tax percent change from 2011 to 2012 was higher than figures from 50 other Bergen towns. East Rutherford, which at press time had not set its tax rate for the past year, was not included in the report.
The news came as an eye-opener to Village Council members, some of whom have expressed the need for alternate ideas during the budget process in an effort to reduce the financial burden placed on Ridgewood taxpayers. The council is hoping that inventive thinking trickles from the top brass in each department to those working on the ground level.
"I think it's time that we need to be innovative and push ourselves to think creatively and make some difficult decisions," Councilwoman Gwenn Hauck said last month. "We can't be in the top third of highest tax rates in Bergen County."
Ridgewood professional staff members, including Village Manager Ken Gabbert and Chief Financial Officer Stephen Sanzari, have started work on the 2013 budget, while council members have also commenced with their preliminary discussions. The governing body also hopes to hear this month from a volunteer committee that formed earlier in 2012 with the sole purpose of examining the municipal spending plan.
With the budget season around the corner, council members implored the village manager's office to approach the process in a way that differs from previous years. Rather than cutting from a preliminary plan that includes a 7 percent tax increase, a task similar to what the council faced last year, Mayor Paul Aronsohn suggested a round number from which to start.
"The guidance I'd like to give [the village staff]... is come back to the council in mid-January with three different options getting us a budget with no tax increase," he said. "Some say it's impossible to do - it may be so, it may not."
"Even if we can't get to zero ... we're never going to get down unless we really dig deep and look at the options," Aronsohn said.
Other council members agreed, hoping to see at least one or two budget plan options that not only represent a zero tax increase but also a zero budget increase.
"I thought we should be looking for a zero budget increase, which may not be as difficult as a zero tax increase. It could be fertile ground and turn out that we can do a zero tax increase," Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli said.

Cement board to raise kerdi pan?
Hey Gang,
I'm an advanced D-I-Y guy renovating a 5' x 7' "kids" bathroom. I demolished the old bathroom. Jacked up and repaired cut floor joists with an LVL beam. I demolished the rusted galvanized steel and cast iron D-W-V lines and stack from the roof to the basement. I installed new D-W-V PVC from the basement to the roof. I set the shower stall rough in to fit the Schluter Kerdi 32" x 60" shower kit with the 10" drain offset. Ran a new sub-panel up to the second floor to provide GFCI lines for both master and kids bathrooms (lights, outlets, radiant floor heat) as well as new and more lines for the second floor. New Viega PEX 3/4" lines for both the new bathroom and the old "Master" bathroom (to be renovated in the future.) All walls furred and shimmed out to flat and plumg(nightmare), exterior wall insulated heavily, floor joists were sister-ed and leveled to approximately 1/32" of accuracy. All the perimeters were blocked to support the plywood edges and extra homemade OSB beams were glued and screwed, then installed under the toilet and sink positions for support. This all took some time as there was lots of sag and plans kept changing. Ran all new electrical with roughs for the radiant floor heat. Cut a hole in the ceiling for a good quality Fan/Light/Nightlight unit. Cut a hole in the roof to vent it with a best quality flapper valve. Then I put down the 3/4" OSB subfloor and green boarded the walls. As stated I will use the Schluter Kerdi 32" x 60" kit as the foam pan's drain placement was allowed due to my unique framing situation. I also knew that I would have to platform the shower stall pan 1.5" from the OSB subfloor, as I need this to allow sufficient space for an adequate drain line pitch, and space between th P-Trap and Kerdi drain flange tail. I have three sheets of .5" Durock Next-Gen and plan to cut, fit then stack and screw them into the shower stall area. Is this a good idea? Should I instead just get another sheet of 3/4" OSB and cut two sheets to fit? Any thoughts appreciated. -Bill |

I'm surprised you've gotten no replies on this. It sounds OK to me, but I think you'd need thinset between the layers of Durock. I don't think screw threads will hold reliably in the CBU.

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) – An organization trying to collect money for their Shop With a Cop Program is hurting for donations after a scam is going around for the same program through a different organization.
Tyson Mitchell is the Vice President for Brothers in Blue. The group is made up of active and retired police officers, firefighters and EMS workers and they do charity work throughout the state.
"This past year we did a Paws to the Wall Poker Run to help benefit the Putnam County Animal Shelter," Mitchell said. "Last year we helped out with the Christ Kitchen Food Bank in Saint Albans."
This year they're trying to raise money for their Shop With a Cop program and have volunteers making calls on their behalf asking for donations. They're hoping to help kids in Kanawha and Lincoln Counties but there's a problem.
"We started this originally in Lincoln County but due to so many rumors of it being a scam and other people actually trying to scam people out of money, we weren't able to make enough money in the county to sustain an office down there to run out and do the collections," he said. "So we had to stop doing collections in Lincoln County."
Mitchell said it's frustrating because they're trying to do something good for the community but scammers are causing a serious hang-up.
"Our whole goal is to go down there and help the community and because of these scams going on, you can't gain the trust of the community," he said. "And so nobody's willing to give out of pocket especially in times of how the economy is now in places like Lincoln County."
One scam causing another good deed to fall on deaf ears.
Mitchell said if you think a call is a scam to give police a call and they can look into it.

s- barely any smell even when you drink it.
t- Alchohol is invisible. Very smooth Porter but nothing magical. The cherry is an afterthought. Only slight cherry hint in the aftertaste. Cherry Coke has way more fruitiness.

The beer is a black color.
The dark has dark fruit, a hint of cherry, and roasted malt.
The flavor is hugely complex. Despite being the name, the cherry is very faint in this beer. The flavor is of roasted malt, chocolate, and cocoa.
There then is a great amount tiny bubbled carbonation to clean up the richness of this beer.
This is a world class beer. It reminds me of Everett with its complexity. It's so rich and delicious, but there's also that wonderful hint of cherry.

Half finger light tan head on a cloudy deep brown body. Aroma of toffee, caramel, hint if coffee and dark chocolate but fairly mild. Very flavorful with brown sugar and dark chocolate initially moving to coffee and roasted malts with the dark fruit, mostly cherry, coming late in the finish. Medium body an light to moderate carbonation. Very flavorful, easy to drink. Cherry is there but it leaves you wanting a little more. Still more full bodied and flavorful than your standard porter.

On tap at City Tavern in Culver City, CA.
Pours an opaque black with a foamy dark khaki head that settles to a film on top of the beer. A foamy latticework of lace coats the glass on the drink down. Smell is of dark roasted malt, cocoa, and cookie dough. Taste is much the same with a slight fruity flavor on the finish. There is a mild amount of roasty bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

Smells and tastes like coffee to me. Lovely creamy head and mouthfeel, and it was the last half pint in the keg. Definitely an unusual Porter flavor. It's like wine mixed with cappuchino plus a hint of Mexican cocoa. Really dark color, near black. Not too malty to taste, though there is a sweetness on the lips. Use your imagination to turn this into a ripe bing cherry with your java.
Flavors die out to a cardboard finish. Interesting aroma of tea with rose hips. Fruity it ain't. On tap at the recently opened Fathom on Shelter Island.

Misc.: Had on Jan. 21, 2013
Poured a black color with one finger of tan head when I got it. Very nice foamy lacing on the sides on the way down. Average retention.
Smelled chocolate, caramel, toffee and slight bitter coffee beans.
Tasted chocolate, toffee, caramel, toast, slight coffee beans, nutty and a hint of black cherry. Nice and smooth.
Full body. Creamy-to-slick texture. Average carbonation. Long, bitter finish.
A nice porter and good way to end my day. Smooth and tasty, although having a name with cherry in it should have more cherry.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
On tap at the Coronado brewpub, an easy drinking black beer with reddish highlights. The small head falls quickly to a thin band; almost no lacing at all.
Both taste and aroma are moderately roasty with a fair dose of fresh cherries. Well integrated and very real tasting; no Robitussin here. Lesser chocolate and coffee notes underneath.
Medium bodied, with carbonation on the higher side for a porter. A little prickly.
I'm a porter fan in general and I like cherries so this one appealed to me and I knew I had to try it as soon as I saw it on the menu. Enjoyed it at least as much as Stone's chocolate cherry stout collaboration beer. Goes down easy and tastes very fresh. I got a lot more cherry flavor than the other reviewer, apparently.

On tap at Coronado Brewing.
A: Dark brown with a small brown head.
S: Roasted grains with toasted notes and a big chocolate profile. I don't smell any cherry and they supposedly used 17 pounds per barrel. Regardless, it smells good. Coffee is light.
T: Roasted malt and earth with a lower moderate bitterness and a light sweetness. Again, not really any cherry in the flavor. Coffee is faint and chocolate is pervasive.
M: Lower medium in body with moderate carbonation.
Overall: A pretty good Porter, but it lacks the advertised cherry.

SEATTLE, WA -- Texas A&M closed out the first day of the 2012 NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships with a consolation final victory in the 400-yard medley relay on Thursday at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash.
The Aggies scored 43 points on Thursday and were in 10th place in the team standings. Cal-Berkeley led with 157.5 points, followed by Stanford (140), Texas (128.5), Arizona (118), Auburn (106.5), Michigan (84), USC (79), Florida (58), Louisville (46) and Texas A&M in the top 10.
The foursome of seniors John Ariens, Amini Fonua and Boris Loncaric and junior John Dalton touched first in a time of 3:09.09 to win by more than a half-second. Ariens led off with a backstroke leg of 47.76, followed by Fonua in the breaststroke (53.07), Loncaric in the fly (45.74) and Dalton in the free (42.52).
"We were backed into a corner a little bit because we desperately need points," Aggie head swimming coach Jay Holmes said. "We needed someone to make something happen, and, to their credit, they went out there and got it done. It was a momentum boost, for sure, and we will need all that momentum for (Friday's prelims). Tomorrow morning is incredibly important for us to get where we want to be."
Senior Grant Nel, from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, had the Aggies' highest finish of the day with a fifth place effort with 376.40 points in the one-meter dive. Scoring the first points of the day for the Aggies was sophomore Hayden Jones, who took seventh place in the consolation final (15th overall) with a score of 363.90.
"I'd say that Grant is probably a little disappointed in fifth place, but I know that Grant is going to come back tomorrow and be great," Holmes said. "He's such a great competitor and the three-meter is probably his favorite event. I know he'll be ready to go."
The Aggies opened the evening session with a seventh-place finish in the consolation final (15th overall) of the 200-yard freestyle relay. The foursome of sophomore Kyle Troskot, Dalton, Fonua and Loncaric touched the wall in 1:18.72.
Dalton also contributed individual points in the 50 free after finishing sixth in the consolation final (14th overall) with a time of 19.55. Earlier in the day, Dalton blasted a school record of 19.44, which eclipsed Ozzie Gardner's old school standard of 19.49 set at the 2008 NCAA Championships in Federal Way.
"That was a fun race to watch," Holmes said. "Ozzie set that record in this same pool and held it for four years. John stepped up and got it done. It was an exciting swim and it was fun to see."
Day two at the NCAA Championships starts with the prelims at 11 a.m. (PT)/ 1 p.m. (CT), followed by the finals at 7 p.m. (PT)/9 p.m. (CT). Live results can be accessed at NCAA.com and live video for the morning prelims can be found at GoSeattleU.com.

The Brian Burke-Toronto Maple Leafs saga is close to reaching its logical conclusion.
It is expected that unless there is a dramatic reversal before Saturday, prior to the Maple Leafs-Philadelphia Flyers' game at Air Canada Centre, Burke will be named president and general manager of the Maple Leafs.
"It's certainly headed in the right direction," Burke told TSN in response to a published report that he was going to be named, "but it's not done yet. I anticipate it will get done but it's not done."
What is clear, though, is that the process went to the next level of commitment sometime Monday night or Tuesday morning when Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president and CEO Richard Peddie, for the first time apparently, became directly involved in the negotiating process with Burke.
Until then, the dialogue between the Leafs and Burke's camp was primarily between MLSE consultant/lawyer Gordon Kirke and Burke's Vancouver-based lawyer Peter Gall and Burke himself.
That 10-day ongoing dialogue did include detailed discussions on what terms and conditions would be contained in a contract if MLSE took the formal step of offering one to Burke, but until Monday evening or Tuesday morning that had not happened. Burke had indicated to MLSE earlier in the week that he wasn't likely to be available for the balance of this week because of family commitments in Boston that are tied to U.S. Thanksgiving on Thursday and Burke's daughter's bridal shower on Friday.
Nevertheless, Peddie's arrival to the process within the last 24 hours formalized it to the extent that Burke received a "term sheet" from the Maple Leafs detailing the terms and conditions that had been discussed, but were now in writing and being formally extended to Burke from the Maple Leafs.
It went from a "soft" negotiation to a "firm" offer as soon as Peddie became involved.
Sources suggest that term sheet includes the following: - a six-year contract, which includes the balance of this season and five more.- a salary of about $3 million (U.S.) per year.- a bonus package that likely includes some form of signing bonus and performance bonuses tied primarily to playoff success.- an autonomy clause that mirrors the one in the contract of Toronto Raptors' GM Bryan Colangelo.
But the "term sheet" should not be confused with a draft of the actual contract, and Burke stopped just short of saying he had an "agreement in principle" to become president and GM of the Maple Leafs, citing some remaining issues or clauses that had yet to be finalized with Peddie.
At this point, no one believes any of those outstanding issues are deal-breakers, but as the old saying goes: A deal isn't a deal until it's signed, sealed and delivered, and Burke's deal with the Leafs is not yet at that point.
"Maybe I'm too much the lawyer, but for me it ain't over until it's over and it's not over," MLSE lawyer Kirke said in an email message to the Canadian Press.
It is expected that the outstanding issues will be resolved in short order and that Burke's unavailability due to family/holiday reasons will give the MLSE lawyers time to draft the wording of the actual contract before any announcement is made. By the end of this week, though, there should be nothing to prevent Burke from formally being named and sources close to MLSE say there are tentative plans for a Saturday afternoon news conference.
It's also expected that former Vancouver Canucks GM Dave Nonis will be coming in as Burke's right-hand man for hockey operations in Toronto. Burke and Nonis were a team in Vancouver and Nonis inherited Burke's job as GM there when Burke was fired by the Canucks. After Nonis was fired by the Canucks last season, Burke hired him as a consultant in Anaheim, a position Nonis still holds.
Nonis has a standing offer to join the Ducks' front office under new GM Bob Murray but sources suggest he's likely to follow Burke to Toronto, although any contract Nonis is likely to sign in Toronto or anywhere else will have escape clauses that would allow him to leave if offered a GM's job elsewhere.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Recipe by TINAHOLLI
"A very simple and refreshing carbonated orange fruit drink."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 liters ginger ale soda
1 orange, sliced into rounds
1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
I made this for Father's Day and it was delicious! It is so easy and refreshing, four of us finished it pretty quickly! I put the concentrate in my pitcher and then added a little ginger ale and stirred it together. I added the rest of the ginger ale after that. This is a great summer time refresher!
I liked how simple it was. I poured the ginger ale slowly, but still lost the carbonation. I also used raspberry ginger ale just for something different. I also put some cherries in that sunk to the bottom for my kids and told them it was an "orange drink surprise" - they loved it when they got to the bottom of their drink and saw the cherries!

We use this recipe when we are serving Mimosas and need a virgin drink. The kids think it's just as fancy, especially when you serve it in Champagne glasses. :) Our name for them is "Faux-Mosas"
This was alright. It didn't make much in the end and so for me, wasn't worth the cost of ginger ale flavored orange juice.
We didn't bother with the oranges and the cherries. We loved the combination of the orange juice and ginger ale. Great breakfast drink!
So refreshing and easy to make. Love it!
