The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day is gonna need a bigger boat... Plus it wants to give away a great new making of book, JAWS: MEMORIES FROM MARTHA'S VINEYARD
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today's Behind the Scenes Pic!
My obsession over Jaws had led me to believe that I knew every story and teeny tiny factoid about production. Then I received a proof copy of Matt Taylor's JAWS: MEMORIES FROM MARTHA'S VINEYARD and was instantly shamed at my arrogance.
The majority of the book is told from the point of view of the islanders as Jaws took over their home in the summer of '74 and is filled to the brim with never-before-seen photographs, insight and stories about the production. I've read Carl Gottlieb's THE JAWS LOG (thrice) and Edith Blake's Making of the Movie Jaws and there's stuff in here that threw me for a loop.
I'll have a full review closer to release, but the lovely folks behind the book have agreed to let me run a contest.
The contest is going to be similar to my last Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day contest I ran, giving away a copy of JW Rinzler's Making of The Empire Strikes Back in that I want you to email me the best Behind the Scenes pic you can find (from any movie or TV show) to this address with the subject line Three Tons of BTS! and your mailing address in the body of the email. The contest, as far as I know, is open worldwide.
If you scan your image from a book or magazine please accredit the origin in the body of the email. I'll be picking the most badass image, with an eye towards rarity and clarity of the image. You can send multiple images, but break 'em up a bit so each email is under a few megs as to avoid bounce-backs.
I have two copies of the book to give away, but one is already spoken for. I'm giving it to reader Pat Barnett who has sent an incredible amount of fantastic BTS images that have been gracing this column for the last month. So, keep that in mind… those regular providers of pics are definitely appreciated and, from time to time, rewarded!
However the big winner of this contest will get the Limited Collector's Edition book, which is hardcover instead of soft, limited to 1000 numbered copies and comes with a DVD of 8mm home video of the production shot by islander Carol Fligor and a piece of the Orca II (aka the sinking Orca) which was left on the island post production!
The limited edition retails for $250 and the regular edition is $59.99 (both can be ordered here if you don't want to chance the contest). Pre-orders are open now and the book ships June 20th.
So, get to emailing. Dig through your stunt-man Uncle's old pics, browse your personal collection… do what you gotta do and get me some sweet behind the scenes pictures! You have from right now until noon CST Monday, May 30th to get me your submission. The winner will be chosen immediately and the winning BTS pic will be featured here.
Speaking of featured here, the Jaws: Memories From Martha's Vineyard folks have given me four never before seen photos from the book to post along with this contest. Check them out and realize the below is just the tip of the iceberg of what's featured in their fantastic book.

Thanks to Jim Beller and Carrie Fyler for all the help in arranging this contest and for putting together such a wonderful and detailed look at the production of my favorite film of all time. For more information on the book visit their website here.
If you have a behind the scenes shot you'd like to submit to this column, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tomorrow's behind the scenes pic would like four whole fried chickens and a coke.

that is a great fucking read for sure. This sounds interesting too.

Quint, just curious....are you afraid to swim in the ocean?
by Bobo_Vision
As someone who watched this very young....I choose not to swim in waters which I feel are not meant for man. Given that this is clearly your favorite film....do you swim in the ocean?
Yep, but I start getting nervous when my feet aren't touching the sand anymore, that's for sure.
Or perhaps run AICN? I only ever see you post immediately after articles are posted.
should come with Harry's Bad Hat. Then i'd fork out 250 clams.

Can we PLEASE see The Shark is still working? In theaters?
by Proman1984
And on Blu-ray!
May 25, 2011, 10:21 p.m. CST
yeah, what the hell is going on with the shark is still working?
by Billy_D_Williams
heard alot of great things about it
Please come back and do something like this movie again. I wonder what a Spielberg remake of Jaws would look like... I don't think it would be a good thing.
on top right. he look funny
he basically looks like he wants to say how hot he is while the rest of us want to tell him that he might be working on the most demographically sound movie ever. That movie is the epitome of something you walk in on and next thing you know Roy and Mr. Holland are swimming home on a couple of barrels.
May 25, 2011, 10:36 p.m. CST
if Spielberg remade jaws, he wouldn't blow it up at the end
by Billy_D_Williams
Last I heard their rights issues looked to be clearing up, but I don't know if that ever panned out. If they get a release you better believe I'll splash it all over AICN!
...which, with the successive edits on Brody with frame wipes of passers by, was probably the most impressive little bit of cinema craft thing Spielberg ever did.
Yep, cinema history right there.
......one of the all time greats

I'll never understand how straight guys just have their guts hanging out like that
by Rex Carsalot
must be the preparation for the infamous "reverse dolly zoom" effect because we can see the two planks on which wheels of the dolly/camera will move upon as it closes in on Scheider. Never seen this behind the scenes pic before...VERY COOL!
Thought I spotted it first...oh well. Cheers!
swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin'..... JAWS is one of those movies that plays well ANY DAMN TIME. Whenever you stumble across it on the telly....whenever you just can't decide on what to put on from your shelf....just whenever. Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged wimmen.
2 Orcas? Wow! i didnt know they had a "stunt" boat..
Fuckin A! I am getting that book ASAP! Thanks for the heads up, Quint. <p> That 1st pic with Bruce looks like it might be from JAWS 2, though. Can't seem to place that particular scene from the original movie. <p> The Bruce in JAWS 2 was a lil ragged if I remember correctly...and that one looks like he's been thru the ringer.
I love Jaws so much. Just saw it again last month at The Castro. Audience went nuts for it! I loved watching the newbs freak out at certain moments in the film. The shark is definitely still working!
Ya, because that's wouldn't be too hard. "Please, attempt to capture lightning in a bottle twice. And when you fail I will moan on and on about it for the rest of my life." Everybody wants something original but nobody wants anything original.
Wish I knew where my old pictures were. Might not be behind the scenes, but when I was a kid, I got to sit in the cockpit of a replica of the plane in the beginning of Raiders. Now, normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but cool. The thing is, this was a replica made by the guy that loaned his plane, THE plane used in the beginning of Raiders. He told me tales of it being ruined, showed me pics of he and Spielberg, he and Harrison Ford, let me wear a hat from the production, just spent a huge amount of time with me, invited me into his home and showed me photo albums from his part of the production. Amazing experience for a kid that was just a gigantic fan of the movie and had seen it well over 60 times in the cinema. (I befriended the theater owner and after about 10 times paying for the movie he stopped charging me and just let me watch it as many times as I wanted free) As luck would have it, I met a stuntman who had worked for Spielberg when my sister and I I sold him a puppy. He told me about a small airport where this guy had a replica of the plane used in the movie. I talked my family into taking me out there to see it. I lucked out that the guy was just a cool person and liked kids. I'll never forget that. I know it wouldn't really count as a BTS picture(s), but this has inspired me to go dig them up. If I find them, I'll send them in for the hell of it. As long as everyone promises not to laugh at my late 70s hair.
They don't make em like that anymore. Absolutely believable actors who you felt could be a cop or a fisherman in real life. Not like 90% of the Hollywood pansies today playing dress up.
Now the curse is upon you.
come on.....u r a soory Pic of the day rep.....u are the Doug Gotlieb of AICN.....yeah in french that means u SUCK.......this is bs..... give more u dick.......Massawyrm has mowed ur lawn....and I hope in all senses of the word.....u dick...

Lorraine Grey was married to the head of the studio - Sid Shineberg, her name was given to Marty's mom in Back to the Future
by Professor_Monster
because Sid hated the original name of MEG
I make sure to watch it a couple of times a year and let myself get totally absorbed. Nothing like sitting with the lights off and spending the fourth of July in Amity. Only Aliens comes close to the sheer spectacle and so easily lends itself to repeated viewings. Probably the best movie ever made; if not, it comes pretty damn close.
For those of you in NC, the Carolina Theatre is showing JAWS in 35mm tonight. Tickets are $5 bucks. I can't think of a better way to kick off Memorial Day weekend!
and along comes Quint with a hive of more. Kudos from Choppah
Thus spake CHOPPAH.
May 26, 2011, 8:06 a.m. CST
I'm glad Lorraine Gary got the part. It's nepotism that worked.
by THE_CHOPPAH
Plus, for years, she formed CHOPPAH's and, I'm sure, many others' vision of an ideal MILF. Damn, I really feel like gettin' drunk and foolin' around this morning. Nothing like waking up the wife with a little surprise sexin'. Don't worry, she won't mind as long as I play the JAWS theme in the lead up.
Awesome. I just used that shot as an example for my film class. I'll definitely show them this BTS pic. I imagine they'll be completely disaffected.
Pearls before swine. Those fuckers wouldn't know a great movie if it swam up and bit them on the ass.
May 26, 2011, 8:55 a.m. CST
If Spielberg remade Jaws, Schieder would have hit the tank with a radio, not a rifle.
by impossibledreamers
I love the documentaries about movies that should never have been made like Jaws, CaddyShack and the Empire of Dreams one for Star Wars. Awesome stuff. Jaws is one of the top 5 films of all time, all time bitches.
gonna need a bigger chum bucket for that dude.
Aces, even.
May 26, 2011, 10:18 a.m. CST
Love the high tech dolly rig for the famous reverse zoom/dolly shot
by openthepodbaydoorshal
Tracks laid down?....nope. Just lay some boards on the sand..we're good!
May 26, 2011, 10:24 a.m. CST
Ahhh, the movie Jaws. I heard of it, it was some Roger Corman monster shark attack movie. I heard it's not too bad.
by AsimovLives
What happened to that director, this Steven Spielberg? He did showed great promise with his earlier movie, THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS.
The shark would probably had personal motivations for his rampage. Like in Jaws 4.
to be tales from the locals of Shaw getting liquored up and getting into some sort of mischief...
May 26, 2011, 10:36 a.m. CST
One of the things that pisses me off AICN aking for spielberg to make movies like he used to.
by AsimovLives
Newsflash, dudes: Spielberg is not the same person he used to be when he was 30 years old. Spielberg is a middle 60s guy. that alone makes him different. He is not the same guy, so why would he make the same type of movies again? He can't. And even if he tried, it would end up with a pastiche. Spielberg should be making the movies he wants to make that he fells he should make. End of story.

Just taking this opportunity to stab a white hot spike into the '96 Universal logo

they've been using since Lost World premiered. It sucked Godzilla cocks then. It sucks Godzilla cocks now.

professor_monster - thanks for that Lorraine backstory - didn't know that
by Mennen
Everyone in the whole goddamn cast looks like they could be their fictional counterpart. Murray Hamilton's Larry Vaughn IS the sleazy small-town mayor; Lorraine Gary's Ellen Brody IS the worldly yet kind MILF; Richard Dreyfuss' Matt Hooper IS the brilliant and scruffy but no-bullshit college boy.
He is the clerk in the tax assessor's office.
But it still won't win me the Jaws book.
May 26, 2011, 12:37 p.m. CST
by BSB
Maybe I should win it and resell it for 5X its price.
May 26, 2011, 12:53 p.m. CST
Anyone else notice that Brody rescues Tina in "Jaws 2" and then has sex with her in "The Men's Club"?
by jawsfan
Ann Dusenberry.
Spot on mate. I dread to think who they'd cast in a remake. Hollywood just doesn't have actors like those anymore. You'd get someone like Charlize Theron playing Ellen nowadays.
May 26, 2011, 1:45 p.m. CST
JAWS is easily one of the greatest movies ever made...
by WriteForTheEdit
...and this book/DVD thing looks fucking spectacular. I'm too lazy to enter this contest, but this is going on my B-day/X-mas wish list fo shizzle.

evangelion80: You know why IGN has a fucking X-Men review "already"? It's fucking owned by News Corp.
by THE_CHOPPAH
I agree that it's sad and annoying that AICN doesn't have a review up yet, but try not to use IGN as a comparison. Why not refer to McWeeny's review or Faraci's or anyone elses?
Small world.
Many of our warriors hath been killed by these creatures - nay, devils - whilst crossing the Narrow Sea.
Many of our warriors fell victim to these creatures - nay, devils - whilst crossing the Narrow Sea.
Keep dry.
See? Had no idea they used a fake/mock up of the Orca's interior for that shot (ref to the 1st pic with Bruce)....and I've been studying Jaws since 1975! Thought they used the actual sinking interior of the real Orca. <p> Movie magic. That book is soooo on my list. <p> "Chief Brody...You are up...TIGHT!" -Ellen Brody

Explore America's legendary route to freedom on our incredible Underground Railroad (UGRR) tour. We'll be immersed in history as we ride from the Deep South to Niagara Falls through the landscapes and communities that provided shelter and aid to freedom seekers.
Between Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico and Niagara Falls, there's some great cycling to be had. The route begins in Mobile, winding north through Alabama's Tombigbee River Valley, with its massive black gum forests, bald cypress swamps, and refuges teeming with birds and other wildlife. We'll ride through the Tennessee River Valley passed many Civil War sites, traverse the scenic Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, and cross the Ohio River. In Cincinnati, we'll visit The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which highlights some of the personal stories of freedom seekers. Then, following the Little Miami Scenic Trail in southwest Ohio, we'll enjoy some of the finest cycling roads on the entire route. Finally, we'll head northeast to Buffalo, and then finish the tour with an unloaded ride to the Canadian border to end this tremendous tour at thundering Niagara Falls.
Start Date: | Apr 13, 2014 | End Date: | May 23, 2014 |

Cost: | $3,749.00 |
Mobile, AL, to Columbus, MS. After dipping our wheels in Mobile Bay on the Gulf of Mexico, we begin our 40-day journey north toward Niagara Falls, NY. We have an easy ride through 300 years of history as we cycle past the USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park and Fort Blakeley, the site of the last major battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Blakeley, in which nine regiments of the U.S. Colored Troops fought.
Columbus, MS, to Waverly, TN. We continue cycling north through the Tombigbee River Valley, with its massive black gum forests, bald cypress swamps, and wildlife refuges teeming with bird and animal life. As we pedal through the Deep South, we can envision the environmental conditions endured by freedom seekers on their treks north and appreciate the various acts of kindness that "conductors" on the Underground Railroad provided freedom seekers, including food, clothing, housing, and safe passage to the next station. We'll also visit the Shiloh National Military Park and learn about the Battle of Shiloh, a very important turning point in the Civil War.
Waverly, TN, to Corydon, IL. Continuing north, the route follows the Tennessee River Valley, where you can visit Civil War sites like Fort Donelson National Battlefield. This unit of the National Park System memorializes the first major Civil War battle won by the Union Army. A number of escaped slaves gained asylum at the fort during the war, and some of them stayed on to work as laborers for the U.S. Army. From Fort Donelson, you'll ride north through the scenic Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, comprising Kentucky Lake (the dammed Tennessee River) and Lake Barkley (the Cumberland River).
Corydon, IL, to Cincinnati, OH. After joining up with the Ohio River Valley, we'll meander between Kentucky and Indiana, where you'll find a growing number of historic sites and museum exhibits honoring those associated with the Underground Railroad.
Cincinnati, OH, to Oberlin, OH. In Cincinnati we'll visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Harriet Beecher Stowe House during our rest day. Later, after enjoying a portion of the Little Miami Scenic Rail-Trail, we'll take in the National Afro-American Museum and Cultural Center at Wilberforce. Along the way, we'll also visit cemeteries where notable abolitionists and freedom seekers are interred. We will then spin through Amish country where some 40,000 Amish live amid the rolling hills of five Ohio counties. The countryside is hilly, pastoral, and embellished with an abundance of rivers, creeks, and lakes.
Oberlin, OH, to Buffalo, NY. We begin the week with a rest day in Oberlin, OH. Oberlin is a pleasant town with much history and a beautiful college campus. We'll want to spend some time exploring its Heritage Center, numerous safe houses, and Oberlin College, the first college in the United States to admit African-American students. As we leave Oberlin, we begin the last leg of our North Star journey, riding through northern Ohio and the town of Ashtabula, home to the Hubbard House Underground Railroad Museum. We'll touch Pennsylvania as we skirt along the shore of Lake Erie into New York, then head northeast to Buffalo. On our final day together, we'll leave our gear in Buffalo to ride the final miles unloaded. We'll end at the thundering Niagara Falls before catching a shuttle back to Buffalo.

Shanghai Hosts Sixth Men's SWATCH FIVB World Tour Event
For the eighth-straight season, Shanghai will host a men's FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour event as the Jinshan District plays host to the world's top beach volleyball players from May 2-8. Depsite claiming medal finishes from 2006 to 2009 the Chinese women failed to finish on the podium last time around and will be eager to put that right when the tournament begins. Last year's winners, USA's Jen Kessy and April Ross, came through unscathed following a thrilling final against Brazil's Juliana Felisberta Da Silva and Larissa França with Brazil's Maria Antonelli and Talita Antunes picking up bronze while Germany's Julius Brink and Jonas Reckermann couldn't quite see off Brazilians Harley Marques and Pedro Salgado, falling at the last hurdle while Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego finished third. Meanwhile, Penggen Wu and Linyin Xu, the most successful Chinese men's team in the 23-year history of the World Tour, had to settle for 13th following a defeat to USA's Jacob Gibb and Sean Rosenthal while women's home pair Chen Xue and Xi Zhang lost to Brazil's Antonelli and Talita to finish fifth. Situated in the middle of China's east coastline, Shanghai has four distinct seasons and a population over 13 million. Shanghai's inhabitants are among the most hospitable and cheerful in the world and the city in which they live is both colorful and diverse. In addition to hosting eight FIVB Beach Volleyball Swatch World Tour events, Shanghai is noted for its many festivals, including the Shanghai Tourism Festival, the Longhua Temple Bell Striking on New Year's Eve, the Longhua Temple Fair, the International Tea Culture Festival and the Orange Festival. For shoppers, culinary connoisseurs and sight-seers, Shanghai is worth the visit, especially with China's tallest building the Jim Mao Tower, which stands at 480 meters. The Chinese city has often been referred to as a "shopping paradise" and all tastes are catered to in Shanghai. Favorite foods from France, Russia, Italy, England, Japan and India will be found along with 16 styles of Chinese food that can be tasted in any of the 1,000-plus restaurants throughout the city. Pictured to the left below are 2010 Shanghai men's winners Harley (right) and Pedro of Brazil.
CHINA & BEACH VOLLEYBALL - China has been the site of SWATCH FIVB World Tour events for the past 13 years, including the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The 2011 Shanghai stop marks the eighth year that China has hosted a men's SWATCH stop and 14th-straight season of staging a women's event. The Chinese men's team of Penggen Wu and Linyin Xu have captured a pair of silver medals at the 2008 Shanghai and 2009 Sanya stops. Harley Marques has won gold medals at the last three Shanghai stops, including back-to-back titles with Pedro Salgado in 2007 and 2008.

Western appetites need not be afraid of the pig intestine or tripe on the menu at Asian Court in Ellicott City. There are plenty of familiar dishes that will satisfy apprehensive eaters—from kung pao chicken to Peking duck.
But if you're confused about what to order, you can trust co-owner and hostess Kay Chen to guide you. She and her husband, Luu Quoc Hung, the chef, came here from Hong Kong, and, after owning other restaurants, set up shop along busy U.S. 40 in Howard County.
There are no bells and whistles when it comes to the décor, but the mustard-yellow dining room is cheerful and laden with reminders of the owners' heritage from a wedding symbol on the wall to a tiny altar with apples honoring the kitchen god.
A drawing card is the dim-sum menu, featuring an array of fragrant dishes. The steamed buns—we tried one type filled with shredded roast pork; another with sweet pineapple—are lovely beginnings. On weekends and holidays, the offerings are served by cart until 3 p.m.
But we headed to the restaurant to sample its Cantonese lunch menu, which features three entrees plus one soup for $20.95. It's enough food for three people to share. Our table soon became a banquet of colorful foods. The fish ball soup was a soothing broth with bright-green watercress leaves and medallions of thin fish cakes.
We also had shredded pork with hot peppers and thick scallions that left a delicious, spicy tingle on the tongue. The lotus-root stir-fry with brown sauce was a vegetable lover's dream with slices of the root mixed with mushrooms, snow peas, carrots, celery, and chives. The fish fillet sauté with XO sauce was also wonderful—soft, white fish with chunks of Chinese zucchini in the spicy seafood sauce.
And, because we heard that the chef makes an impressive empress chicken, we tried that, too. Essentially, it's a half of a bone-in chicken that's been boiled gently until the meat practically falls off the bone. We finished our meal with three crispy, mini tarts lush with fluffy egg-custard filling.
We had to laugh at two women at a neighboring table who were enjoying a mountain of lobster. They shared their praises for Asian Court, worrying that if people found out about it that it would become too crowded. We understand their desire to keep this gem to themselves, but we just had to share its charms.
Asian Court, 9180 Baltimore National Pike, Chatham Station Shopping Center, Ellicott City, 410-461-8388. Hours: 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. Appetizers: $2.95-7.95; entrees: $7.50-26.95; desserts: $2.95.

Beethoven Project: MTT leads Beethoven and Adams
May 9 2013
Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall
201 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94102
MTT explores here the maturing Beethoven, as well as his continuing influence. In An die ferne Geliebte—the first-ever song cycle—Beethoven gives passionate voice to the painful longing for his "distant beloved." Absolute Jest, Adam's celebration of the SFS's 100th anniversary, is based on fragments from Beethoven's immortal late string quartets. Beethoven's vivacious and eminently hummable Fourth Symphony bridges his Third and Fifth Symphonies, two of the most famous ever written.
"[Michael Fabiano] sings with effortless beauty of tone and an exquisite sense of line." —THE GUARDIAN

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 --
- C++ remains the leading language across all operating systems
- New Embarcadero C++ tool-chain architecture and FM2 framework support multi-device development from a single codebase
- Supports the new C++11 standards and 64-bit targeting for VCL and FireMonkey
Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software solutions for application and database development, today launched Embarcadero C++Builder® XE3, a new C++ development platform for multi-device development. C++Builder® XE3 implements a completely new multi-targeting native compiler architecture that extends Embarcadero's long C++ lineage for developers, ISVs and enterprises who need to build high-performance applications for multiple devices. The new release supports natively targeting Windows 8 and Mac OS X PCs, laptops and Intel-based mobile devices from a single C++ codebase and development effort. Plans for iOS and Android ARM mobile device support have been announced for 2013.
The new C++Builder XE3 also includes a full 64-bit compiler and VCL update for existing C++Builder customers, enabling rapid 64-bit updates for millions of existing Windows applications. The new 64-bit compiler architecture also provides some of the best C++11 language standards and library compliance in the industry.
Developers benefit from the ability to:
- Natively target multiple devices with a single effort: With C++Builder's multi-device architecture, development teams can now natively deliver applications on more devices, operating systems and form factors without significant time and cost increases by leveraging a common codebase.
- Speed development with Agile C++: Developers can use Embarcadero standard C++ extensions to speed and streamline C++ development, up to 5x faster than traditional development, with agile techniques such as rapid prototyping, PME (properties/methods/events) component-based programming and visual development.
- Achieve a new level of C/C++ standards support and compatibility: Developers can use the Clang 3.1 compatible compiler with the latest C++ language features and libraries as well as integrate legacy source code to adhere to existing and newly released standards, including C++11.
- Gain 64-bit speed, power and capacity: C++Builder's 64-bit compiler architecture generates applications that can utilize more memory and data, and directly access 64-bit APIs, device drivers and system services, enabling developers to create higher performance, more capable and more powerful applications.
- Produce visually stunning applications: Build applications with Microsoft® Windows 8 style UI for desktop across a variety of Windows® operating systems (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8). Mac OS X and Retina Display support enables developers to create the best-looking Mac apps with native user experience and automatic HiDPI display support.
C++ Still Rocking After Three Decades
For more than 30 years C++ has been the common standard across operating systems -- and it remains the language standard of choice for developers today. The majority of the leading commercial client and server software today is written in C++, including Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop, Google Chrome, Firefox, Mac OS X, iOS, Oracle database, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and others. Top web companies, such as Facebook, PayPal and Amazon, also use C++. The renewed focus placed on client user experience and the use of C++ by every major OS and software vendor makes it clear C++ is more relevant today than ever.
Embarcadero's C++Builder lineage stretches back more than 15 years to when a group of developers at Borland produced the original C++ Builder platform which combined the renowned Borland C++ compiler with a Rapid Application Development experience. The new C++Builder is produced by Embarcadero, and continues to lead the market by consistently delivering a trusted solution that vastly improves quality, time to market and total cost of ownership for C++ development. Unlike other C++ tools, the C++Builder platform offers the perfect balance of agile development, standards, compliance and the ability to target multiple devices -- all from a single codebase.
Executive quotes
"The diversification of client devices in the last several years has been a seismic event with tremendous implications for software developers," said Michael Swindell, Embarcadero senior vice president of marketing and product management. "The question for developers today is how to deliver applications across multiple devices including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android without compromising performance and user experience or radically increasing development time and cost. This is the problem and opportunity driving our reinvention of the C++ platform. With C++Builder XE3, developers can build once and deploy natively across multiple platforms. As we add additional platforms to the solution, the benefit to the developer will continue to increase."
"C++Builder is for me the best C++ compiler for Windows in the market," said Humberto Bejarano Bravo, CEO, Neural Engine. "It is the only true Rapid Application Development for C++ that lets us easily develop our own components, and has an extensive network of partners that develop many more. We can build working prototypes in minutes. Now with 64-bit support, our applications are ready for all kinds of computers and operating systems."

Snow Peas
Flat, thin snow peas are harvested before the peas inside the pod develop, so they're tender enough to eat pod and all.
Season: Year-round; peak spring and fall.
How to Choose Snow Peas
Snow pea pods should be firm, light green (almost translucent), and unblemished, with tiny seeds. Judge their quality by their sweet taste. The smallest pods are the sweetest and most tender. -
How to Store Snow Peas
Keep snow peas unwashed (moisture speeds decay) and loosely wrapped in the refrigerator's vegetable drawer for up to 4 days. For maximum sweetness they should be eaten as soon as possible (the sugars begin converting to starch the minute they're picked).
How to Prepare Snow Peas
Snow peas can be eaten whole after removing the stems. -
How to Use Snow Peas
Snow peas are delicious raw (in salads) and in stir-fries.Real Simple Snow Pea Recipes:

What's New This First Friday...
- Unveiling of Genghis Khan, a seminal piece of work from ISC Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Phillip King.
What is First Friday?
On the First Friday of every month Blue Star Contemporary Art Center stays open late, until 9 pm. Because all exhibitions open on the first Thursday of every month, there is always at least one new exhibition to see each First Friday. Often, Blue Star will offer live music, drinks, a raffle, a Membership special, or some other special event on First Friday. As a result, most of the other galleries and businesses within the Blue Star Arts Complex stay open late as well, with the celebration extending through the King William area. Due to high attendance, parking at the complex is limited.

Hughes preparing to charm Stoke doubters
Mark Hughes accepts there are doubters he needs to win over as prepares to return to the Premier League as Stoke manager.
The former Blackburn, Manchester City, Fulham and QPR boss is back in a top-flight hotseat after being named as Tony Pulis' successor at the Britannia Stadium.
The bright reputation Hughes established in his early managerial career, first with Wales and then with Blackburn, has been battered by the manner of his departure from his most recent clubs, particularly QPR.
Hughes spent just 10 months in charge at Loftus Road and, after only narrowly avoiding relegation in 2011-12, was sacked early into last season.
His appointment by the Potters has not been universally welcomed by supporters but the Welshman is determined to win people round.
Hughes, speaking at a press conference to preview his side's season opener at Liverpool on Saturday, said: "I think maybe in recent times my previous work has been overlooked as a consequence of having an exceptionally poor start to last season.
"Hopefully we can redress the balance somewhat because it was a bit skewed in a negative way, people's perceptions of my ability as a manager.
"Every manager, when they come into a new environment and a new club, will have doubters, people that maybe don't take to you initially. It is up to you to win people over.
"You will always have people that, for whatever reason, don't like the way you look or don't like the colour of your hair.
"There is not a lot you can do about that, it happens.
"I would like to think once they understand what I am trying to do here and the type of football we want to produce, we can turn a few round."
After the turmoil of QPR, where an expensive overhaul of the squad failed to arrest poor form, Hughes is grateful for the stability of Stoke.
Since winning promotion in 2008, the Potters have established themselves in the Premier League with a reputation for solidity on and off the field.
The 49-year-old said: "This is an outstanding environment to try to build a football club. Everything is in place.
"In the past I have probably been guilty of getting bogged down in the detail of trying to build a football club, and build the environment that supports a team.
"I have probably been guilty of spreading myself too thinly and losing a bit of focus on what actually counts, which is making sure the team and the players are absolutely spot on and ready to go.
"I have been really impressed with the attitude and application of the players. It is a pleasure to come to work.
"Every single day we give them the work they need and invariably they are asking for more work afterwards.
"There are not too many occasions in the past when I have had that situation.
"Having had a different experience at previous clubs, this is like a breath of fresh air.
"It was difficult at QPR. We were trying to build a club and a team as well.
"A lot of things were happening in a short space of time and there were a lot of distractions away from what is fundamentally my job."
Hughes is promising to make changes to a team that, while tough to beat, has a reputation for direct and physical football.
But he said: "It is important that we don't think we have to change radically.
"All I am doing is allowing players to express themselves a little bit more than they were allowed to in the past.
"That is not to say that was incorrect in the past, because the club was very successful when Tony Pulis was here."
The Stoke squad has been bolstered by the signings of defenders Erik Pieters and Marc Muniesa this summer while an agreement is in place for United States striker Juan Agudelo to join in January.
Hughes said: "We are still working on targets.
"At this moment in time we are probably experiencing a bit of frustration that we haven't managed to get anyone else over the line.
"Ideally you want your targets in the door a couple of weeks before the season starts so you can bed them in.
"That hasn't been possible for whatever reason but we will get there. There is more than enough time to get more players in."

E-mail to a Friend
Family Caregiver Alliance has always used a broad and inclusive definition of family, and has supported gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual individuals caring for partners, spouses, friends and biological family members through our free family consultation program, caregiver retreats and respite services.
In 2002 FCA launched its LGBT online support group as part of the Caring Community Project, a year-long endeavor funded by the National Caregiver Support Act through San Francisco's Department of Aging and Adult Services.
The unique challenges facing LGBT caregivers are not always fully recognized by many service providers. Past experiences with lack of understanding, hostility, harassment and unjust treatment may cause older LGBT caregivers to be fearful that, when contacting a community provider, they will experience prejudice instead of help and support. Additionally, many legal and financial protections and benefits available to married couples (such as financing long-term care, hospital visitations, rights of next-of-kin, spousal benefits) may not be available to LGBT couples.
Younger LGBT caregivers have some particular challenges as well. Often seen by their families as "unmarried," even if they are in a committed relationship, lesbian and gay adult children are often expected by other family members to become the primary caregivers for an aging parent or other relative. Taking on this primary caregiving role can mean caring for a parent or other relative who has never fully understood or supported their LGBT son or daughter. This can be especially difficult when the elderly relative, who needs regular care and supervision, moves in with a daughter or son and her/his partner.
The LGBT Online Caregiver Support Group provides a unique source of emotional support, information sharing, and understanding of the caregiver experience that LGBT caregivers may not find elsewhere. There is usually a quick and heartfelt response whenever a member posts an appeal for support.
So, if you are a lesbian, gay man, transgender or bisexual individual who is taking care of a partner, spouse, friend, parent or other relative—or if you know of someone else who is—this may be the group for you. The LGBT Online Caregiver Support Group welcomes you.

This facility enables us to disseminate MLS® listing content through this website. The content is accurate, updated daily and is filtered to include only waterfront properties. As such, our website is a one-stop shop for active waterfront listings. You can search for listings of interest to you in our Market Area or browse for waterfront anywhere in Canada that your curiosity may take you.
Participation in DDF™ is optional and many brokerages have not yet made the decision to consent to their listings being shared through DDF™. However, the expectation is that participation rates will be very high by 2014 if only because brokerages must contribute their listings to the national pool before they can pull listings from it.

When the all-new 2014 GMC Sierra full-size pickup arrives this summer, its standard 4.3L EcoTec V-6 it will offer the most torque of any standard V-6 in the segment – 305 lb-ft (413 Nm).
Buyers will choose from three new, advanced EcoTec3 engines – a 5.3L available at launch, followed by the 4.3L and 6.2L versions available later this year. All are designed specifically for the high trailering and hauling demands unique to truck buyers.
Torque is the turning force that generates off-the-line acceleration and confident trailering performance. Sierras equipped with the 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 will have trailering ratings up to 7,200 pounds (3,266 kg) for a regular cab, short bed, four-wheel-drive model – 500 pounds more than the most capable Ford F-150 3.7L and 700 pounds more than a Ram 1500 3.6L. Sierra's standard V-6 produces an SAE-certified 285 horsepower (212 kW) and is matched with a proven, efficient six-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy estimates will be released later.
Like Sierra's optional 5.3L and 6.2L EcoTec3 V-8 engines, the new V-6 features three state-of-the-art technologies – direct injection, active fuel management (cylinder deactivation) and continuously variable valve timing – that have been proven and perfected through 6 million hours of computational analysis by engineers studying the combustion process. In all, 10 million CPU hours were spent refining and making the most of the Sierra's EcoTec3 engines.
"This is technology no other truck maker can match, and we offer it in every EcoTec3 engines, for every customer," said Jordan Lee, GM Powertrain chief engineer. "It is a standard feature, so our drivers get our best and most sophisticated technology regardless of trim level."
Although they share only a handful of parts with previous Sierra engines, the new EcoTec3 V-6 builds on experience gained from millions of trucks and billions of real-world customer miles resulting from a half-century of leadership in V-6 engine development. In 1960, GMC debuted the first V-6 pickup truck ever and offered it exclusively through most of the '60s.
That engine, offered in various displacements starting at 5.0L, was designed with aluminum pistons, improved cooling and a stout crankshaft and bearings designed for unprecedented durability.
"The family of V-6 engines introduced in 1960 was designed to last, and I've heard of some owners going more than 450,000 miles on the original engine," said Donald Meyer, GMC truck historian. "They had really high torque and pulled loads well. GMC engineers know how to build durable, reliable engines that never quit."
Like the 2014 engine, the 4.3L V-6 introduced as standard equipment for GMC half-ton pickups in 1985 used geometry and engineering from the brand's proven Small Block V-8. As with today's V-6, engineers studied the combustion chamber, developing "Vortec" technology that swirled the air and fuel inside the engine to create a more homogenous mix, improving power and efficiency. That engine was the basis for new generations of engines through the 2013 model year.
2014 Sierra models with the 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 go on sale later this year with a suggested starting price of $25,085, including a destination charge of $995 but excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees.
GMC has manufactured trucks since 1902, and is one of the industry's healthiest brands. Innovation and engineering excellence is built into all GMC vehicles and the brand is evolving to offer more fuel-efficient trucks and crossovers, including the Terrain small SUV and Acadia crossover. The 2014 Sierra half-ton pickup boasts all-new powertrains and design, and the Sierra Heavy Duty pickups are the most capable and powerful trucks ever built by GMC. Every retail GMC model, including Yukon and Yukon XL full-size SUVs, is now available in Denali luxury trim.

Plan / Design for Development Amendments
After the closure of the Schlage Lock factory in 1999, residents of Visitacion Valley partnered with City agencies and the Universal Paragon Corporation to develop a plan for the reuse and revitalization of this critical site in their community. Several years of analysis and an extensive community planning process concluded with the adoption of a Redevelopment Plan, zoning changes and a detailed master plan to guide change on the site.
However, the demise of Redevelopment Agency in early 2012, and the loss of public funding that accompanied it, requires a fresh look at the community's goals for the site. The Planning Department is partnering with the Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development and the community to evaluate the project's feasibility, look at tools which can help move the project forward, and make necessary legislative changes to foster the site's transformation.
City staff, along with its development partners at Universal Paragon, re-initiated efforts to move transformation of Schlage forward with a workshop on October 13th. Both attendance and enthusiasm were high as the community confirmed their highest priorities for the site, and gave feedback on a possible near-term project on the Schlage site. We hope you can join us for future workshops as outlined in the project timeline indicated above.

In 1999, the Schlage Lock Company decided to close its Visitacion Valley factory. The now-vacant site presents opportunities for new uses. Upon closure of the Schlage Lock plant, the Home Depot Company proposed to develop a store on the site. However, this proposal was met with opposition from some residents and business owners, who cited traffic and other concerns, as well as the incompatibility of the "big-box" use with the transit-friendly nature of the site and the fine-grained nature of the neighborhood.
From 2001-2002, after the Board of Supervisors passed interim zoning controls in 2000 on the site to prevent a "big-box" use, Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, the Planning Department and the non-profit Urban Ecology worked intensively with the community to create a new vision for the vacant Schlage Lock site. A Concept Plan was released in 2002 summarizing a community vision for that site.
From 2000-2002, city staff worked intensively with community members to create a new vision for the vacant Schlage Lock site. A Concept Plan was released in 2002 summarizing a community vision for the site. In 2005 the Board of Supervisors initiated a process to determine if a Redevelopment Area should be established on and around the Schlage site.
From August 2006 to 2009, five public workshops were held. The Planning Department worked closely with the community to refine the land use framework for the site; to create guidelines for the location and programming of new open spaces, to establish the street network; create sustainability guidelines, and finalize a site design that will ultimately guide Schlage Lock site's redevelopment. For a summary of the community workshops click here. To read the Design for Development document, click here.
Since City adoption of the Plan, the Visitacion Valley Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) has continued to meet to discuss and comment on various aspects of the Plan's implementation and to provide comments to Universal Paragon Corporation as it implements plans for the Schlage Lock site.
