Google releases a slew of minor app updates
by Shawn Ingram 9 months ago
Today Google released a number of small app updates to its Android apps that alone aren't all that much, but are still worth noting. Read on for more!
Two important Google apps are in the process of receiving updates, with rollouts going out now to Google Drive and Google Translate. See what's new here.
For owners of select HTC devices like the One and One Max, you'll be happy to know your device may be eligible for 25-50GB free Google Drive space.
In a blog post today, Google has announced that Quickoffice is now free to download for iOS and Android. Google also concedes that not everyone has "gone Google" yet, and the '.doc' holdouts don't make it easy for those who have.
The latest update to Google Drive, which will roll out in stages, introduces UI changes and a new create bar that makes file upload, create, and scan easier
Keep is being updated to allow for reminders to be set, as well as location tags to be attached to notes. Users will be able to set the time and date of the reminder, and snooze or reset it if needed.
Google has started encrypting the all the data written to disk via its Google Cloud Storage service, however the keys are automatically managed by Google making it irrelevant if Google was forced by law to hand of the data and keys,
People who buy the Moto X won't just get all the big features discussed today, but also 50GB of Google Drive storage free for 2 years.
Don't trust the government? Google might have a solution for you. The search giant is reportedly experimenting with server-side file encryption for Drive.
What are the first few apps that you should install on your new Android device? Well, we've put together a list of some really good must-have's. Curious to know more? Read on to find out!

Solution-processed, Inkjet-printed Non-volatile Memory Arrays Based on Ferroelectric Field-effect Transistors

2010 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting
3 December 2010
Boston, Massachusetts
Non-volatile memory devices for mechanically flexible electronics are being developed for short-term data storage in applications that require a maximum lifetime of only a few weeks. Inkjet printing was used to pattern ferroelectric field effect transistors (feFETs) and addressing thin film transistors (TFTs). The organic feFETs were fabricated with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) as the gate dielectric material. Application of an electric field across the ferroelectric insulator induces polarization of the dielectric layer. The remnant polarization alignment can be used as a record of the input voltage and, thus, functions as memory states. The integration of feFETs with addressing TFTs into an active-matrix memory array is needed in order to avoid pixel cross talking. The electrodes and addressing lines were composed of inkjet-printed silver nanoparticles. A polythiophene derivative was used as semiconductor in the memory feFETs while a soluble small molecule was used as the semiconductor in the addressing TFTs. Memory feFETs were shown to retain 50% of output current over seven days. The transistor characteristics were monitored to understand the limiting factors to data retention time. We studied the degradation in the dielectric layer and in the semiconductor layer separately to understand the origins of possible device instabilities. Finally, the flexible memory array was integrated with electrophoretic media to enable visualization of the working printed memory process.

A Hand Activated iPhone Speaker, Translated From The Hammacher Schlemmer
Hammacher Schlemmer is, of course, the premier catalog and website for stuff that's kind of neat but that no person actually needs. Essentially it's what would happen if you sold Brookstone to Willy Wonka. As a result, its advertising copy tends to be a wee bit… how do we put this… florid. So, for your edification, we've taken the liberty of translating their ad copy surrounding this hand-controlled speaker into English.
"Evoking a futuristic vision of technological singularity"
Our marketing department read a Raymond Kurzweil book recently, and now they won't stop talking like this.
"Implying superintelligent off-world design in the form of a sentient atmospheric lifting body,"
It looks like a spaceship.
"infrared sensors installed on either side of its streamlined, aerodynamic fuselage detect hand movement for increasing or decreasing volume while sensors housed in its port and starboard speakers changes tracks. "
You wave up and down to change the volume, and left and right to skip tracks.
" it delivers robust sound with twin 3 1/2-watt tweeter "jet" speakers and a down-firing 12-watt bass-reflex subwoofer."
We mentioned the spaceship thing, right?
"The included remote allows fine-tuning of bass and treble settings as well as volume and track control."
When you can't figure out how to use it, we've got a fallback for you.
Joking aside, it does look like a very nice speaker, and the wattage is quite nice for the size. Then again, it'd better have some killer audio: If you want a little spaceship dock for your iPhone or iPod, it's going to run you $200.
Or to translate that back into Hammacher Schlemmer, "Future-proofing your domicile will only require two hundred of your filthy hoo-man dollars."

Potential For Valentine's Day DDoS Attacks
Distributed Denial of Service attacks occur all year round however it is in the run up to holidays and events that you tend to see their frequency grow as they try and make the most impact. Basically these attacks are designed so that the website that they are targeted towards cannot function as it normally would and most of the time this results in downtime for the website and therefore loss of money for the business. Hence why they are most effective around holidays and times of the year where most people would use a particular service.
Essentially what happens is that an attack engulfs a website with incoming requests and when the site itself cannot handle that much data all at once it shuts itself down and therefore no one can use its services. It is not just big companies that are targeted in this way – although they are the most common – and many smaller firms have been experiencing a rise in these DDoS attacks in recent years.
As we are approaching Valentine's Day it is expected that many card stores and businesses that rely on this day for a large part of their profits will be targeted by these attacks as those who start them try and make a big a problem as possible and also increase the attention and acknowledgment of the attack itself.
If you have not yet got protection against DDoS attack, then you have to ask yourself why not? It does not cost the earth to be properly protected and it is something that could be the difference between your business staying open during its busiest period of the year and it losing a lot of money because it experience downtime in the run up to Valentine's Day and thus your yearly profits will be seriously affected as a result. Choose your security plan, start 24 hours free trial and prevent DDoS attacks.

New book on Vt environmentalism to be launched in Montpelier
MONTPELIER The authors of a new book about the environmental movement in Vermont will discuss it Tuesday evening at the Goddard Art Gallery in downtown Montpelier.
The authors, Elizabeth Courtney and Eric Zencey, will be there from 5 to 7:30 p.m. to talk about the book, the last 50 years of the environmental movement, what they learned in writing the book, and what Vermonts experience may mean for the planet.
Greening Vermont: The Search for a Sustainable State explores how the arrival of the petroleum economy in the 1950s transformed the state, and the response of the environmental movement.
Courtney has been a landscape architect, the executive director of the Vermont Natural Resources Council and a member and chairwoman of Vermonts Act 250 Environmental Board.
Zencey has held multiple fellowships, including a Guggenheim, and is the author of the best-seller Panama. He is a fellow at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and a board member of VNRC.

Across the country, celebrations spilled into the streets — at the gates of the White House, at Ground Zero, on college campuses. President Barack Obama had just announced that U.S. Navy SEALs had killed Osama bin Laden.
Steve Drain watched the revelry on the 60-inch flat-screen TV hanging on his living-room wall. Drain, a devout member of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church, says CNN showed him nothing but hypocrites. The Americans celebrating bin Laden's death were the same people who condemn Westboro members for picketing at the funerals of U.S. soldiers.
"These people call us hypocrites and vile and everything, and they're out there last night whooping and hollering and drinking and having a big-time party about the prospect of Osama bin Laden being in hell," Drain says. "Well, he is in hell. He's dead and in hell, and we thank God for that judgment. But we thank God for all of his judgments."
And so Drain also thanks God for dead soldiers. And the victims of 9/11. And the 200-plus people killed by tornadoes in Alabama. And pretty much anyone who doesn't worship with Westboro.
"They're all in hell," Drain says.
Drain and the other members of the Westboro Baptist Church believe that they are the only people living in accordance with God's standard. They've gained international infamy for waving "God hates" signs at the funerals of U.S. soldiers. They claim that God is punishing America for its acceptance of homosexuality, abortion and divorce. Drain has already designed an "Osama in hell" sign, featuring the terrorist leader's face and flames, which he'll hold high a few days from now at a soldier's funeral in Manning, Iowa — a state where Drain says the people are "batshit crazy."
The sign is visible on a computer screen in Drain's home office, where he edits video and lays out picket graphics as part of his service to the church. Drain's 19-year-old daughter, Taylor, a soft-spoken, olive-skinned girl with long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, is here with him, doing homework.
Drain reclines on the black-leather sofa in his living room, where a handful of religious books (Elijah, Hebrews, The Flood) share space with Malcolm Gladwell's Blink, a Wii and some PlayStation 3 games. He doesn't really look like one of "God's elect." His red beard is scruffy, but his strawberry-blond hair is styled and short. He favors blue jeans and often wears a black fleece vest over a T-shirt. His Oakley sunglasses rest on the cushion next to him, along with two cell phones, which ring repeatedly with calls from other church members and reporters. He takes a break to rail on Charlie Daniels. He sarcastically calls the singer, known for "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," a "great theologian" while talking to a reporter from Branson.
A decade ago, Drain was a 35-year-old aspiring filmmaker from Florida who wanted to shoot a documentary showing that Fred Phelps and his church were, he says, "full of crap." He became a believer. Now he and his wife and one of their daughters are the only members of the church not related to Phelps by blood or marriage.
The fags were marching on Washington," Shirley Phelps-Roper, Fred Phelps' daughter, says of the first time she met Drain. The word fag comes out of her mouth easily and often in conversation.
Westboro was in the nation's capital in April 2000 to picket the Equality Rocks concert, where Garth Brooks, George Michael and the Pet Shop Boys headlined.
Drain's documentary, which he would later call Hatemongers, led him to Washington, D.C., to film the protest. He first had the idea as a grad student in philosophy at the University of Kansas in the 1990s, after stumbling across a Westboro picket at Lawrence's City Hall. He wanted to know more. Several years later, Drain contacted Phelps-Roper, who told him: "We're always willing to talk to anyone."
Drain shot the anti-gay protests, but he wanted to interview the church's members in Topeka. He started with Fred Phelps (whom he now affectionately calls "Gramps") in the pastor's wood-paneled office for what he recalls as a "daunting" three and a half hours.
"Right out of the gate, he says, 'Your career is over,'" Drain says. "This guy who doesn't even know me, doesn't even know what my deal is, says your career is over unless you make a film that makes fun of us."
Drain expected Phelps to be a "Barnumesque snake-oil salesman." Instead, he came to view him as "the most misunderstood man alive."
"There was this humble, little old man who had spent his life laboring in that Word, in that vineyard, telling people just what the Bible says," Drain says. "He's not an aggressive self-promoter that people put him out as. He's a man who every day spends several hours a day poring through the Scripture. He's doing this out of a heartfelt fear that if he doesn't do it, then the Lord is going to deal with him."
After the first meeting, Drain called his wife, Luci.
"This guy is right," he told her.
Luci's first reaction: "Hell, no."
Phelps-Roper knew by her final Hatemongers interview that Drain was "hearing the words," and they were "striking at his heart." He wasn't asking the same questions that other interviewers did. By the end of shooting, he says, he was "needy," calling from Florida with more questions. In one conversation, Drain told Phelps-Roper, "I don't think there's any church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Florida."
"Uh, yeah. I think you're right," she told him.
Logging footage of his film, watching the interviews over and over again, and researching the words heightened Drain's belief that he had found where he belonged. These were people who didn't cut out the parts of the Bible that they didn't like.
"I realized the Lord was doing something with my heart," Drain says. "What he was making me realize was what a fool that I was and that I am, and what a sinner I was, and I needed to do something different in my life."
Luci had always joked with her husband that he had either too much religion or not enough. He was never comfortable. She was Catholic, and he was Presbyterian. He was searching for a truth that he could never find. They met in seventh grade, in Tampa. Steve copied her algebra. By eighth grade, he was telling her that he wanted to marry her.
Drain says he spent one grad-school Thanksgiving weekend working on a philosophy experiment of his own: Knocking on doors around Lawrence and asking people, "What do you believe? And why do you believe it?"
"I got the door slammed in my face thousands of times," Drain says. "I talked to witches, Catholics, Buddhists and atheists, and everything under the sun. The overwhelming conclusion I reached in that little sample group was, people don't have any idea what they believe and why they believe it."
Drain says he spoke to preachers and priests and asked them hard questions about the Bible.
"What I found out was, these preachers don't know the Bible," he says. "I knew more back then as an arrogant philosophy grad student than most of these preachers did."
After meeting Fred Phelps, he thought that he had finally found the truth. For Luci, that meant moving to Topeka. She marched to the doorway of the bedroom in their Bradenton, Florida, home where her husband was on the bed studying Scripture. Luci blocked the doorway with her arms.
"If you think we're moving to Topeka, you're out of your fucking mind," she told him.
Drain laughed. He hadn't mentioned moving, but he thought, Yeah, we are.
Steve and Luci Drain say it was their eldest daughter, Lauren, who made them realize that they needed to move. At 14, she began to show interest in what the couple call "heathen boys." This didn't fit with their newfound religion. As turmoil increased in their home, Luci warmed to the idea of moving. Steve and Luci were starting to think that they had been raising Lauren and Taylor wrong.
"We didn't teach them what the Lord our God requires of them," Steve says. "It weighed very heavy on my heart, and I knew that I had to right that ship as much as I could by basically cutting loose all of the things that I'd taught them before and teaching them right, good stuff and knowing how that lands on their heart is God's business. I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything. I'm trying to tell them what the Bible says."
Drain instituted a "godly standard" in his house. His family stopped celebrating holidays — no Christmas, no Halloween, no Thanksgiving. No more rock bands. (He had played in a band called Boneyard while at KU and he once helped Lauren start one.) No more long hair for Steve. No more haircuts for Luci and the girls. (Women aren't supposed to take blades to their hair, goes one reading of the Bible.) Steve banned Luci's mother, a Catholic whom he calls a "big-time false religionist," from talking about religion with their children. No more chocolate bunnies or "What would Jesus do?" bracelets from Grandma.
"I was the cool dad before that," Drain says. "These are not just rational decisions that people make. These are supernatural decisions. We believe this."
Drain finished Hatemongers in June 2001. He calls it "the best documentary film ever made."
"The subject matter is so easy to manipulate and malign, and the world begs for you to manipulate and malign the subject matter, and I didn't," Drain explains. "I just let these people talk for themselves."
Phelps was right about one thing: Drain's documentary-film career ended with Hatemongers. Drain says he was tight with the organizers of the Telluride Film Festival. When he was at KU, he was chosen to take part in its student symposium, and he says he volunteered five or six weeks at a time to help set up the festival. He was "a favorite son of the festival," he says, and people there affectionately called him "Draino."
When the festival's organizers heard that he'd completed a film, they encouraged him to submit it, Drain says. He sent Hatemongers to festival director Jim Bedford.
"Radio silence," Drain says. "Never heard from the guy again. Wouldn't take my call."
Bedford says he never received Hatemongers, and he has never chosen the event's films. But he and other organizers remember Drain. "He was never more than a laborer, and he was never anyone's favorite son," says Brandt Garber, Telluride's production manager. The volunteer production assistant "alienated the other workers," Garber adds.
Bedford and Garber say Drain worked for them only twice — an unusually short tenure for a festival known for its close-knit community. "He did not live up to our standards and he was not invited back," Bedford says. (Such an invitation would have been for festival work rather than film submission. The acceptance of Hatemongers would have been up to Telluride's selection committee, which would have acknowledged Drain's submission.)
"So what Gramps said to me was right," Drain says.
"I didn't know about that," Phelps-Roper tells Drain after hearing the story for the first time. "Sorry."
"No, that's OK," Drain says. "It was good. I needed to know that. Gramps said that to me before it even happened."
Steve Drain e-mailed Shirley Phelps-Roper a month after finishing his documentary: He was moving his family to Topeka.
"We're having a garage sale," he told her. "We're getting all of our things packed up."
Before they left, they had a going-away beach party with their families. Steve passed out copies of Hatemongers. It was the last time that they heard from some of their relatives. Others tried to convince them that they were making a mistake.
Luci's mother tried to talk her out of leaving. Luci wouldn't listen. It's been five years since she has spoken with her parents.
Steve's brother sent him a long e-mail, saying Steve was joining a cult. Steve hasn't spoken with his family in eight years.
"I didn't know what the heck I was going to do next," Steve admits. "I didn't have a plan. Neither Luci nor I had jobs. I just knew that I needed to get here."
The Ryder truck rolled into Topeka on July 2, 2001, and parked at the Drains' new one-bedroom home on the same block as the church.
"It speaks volumes when you pack up a family and move here," Phelps-Roper says. "He wasn't here long, and he asked to be a member. And we had absolutely no reason why he shouldn't be."
In August 2001, Phelps baptized Steve in the pool behind the church. Luci's and Lauren's baptisms followed that fall. And 10-year-old Taylor made a profession of faith and was baptized in March 2002.
Drain helped Phelps create the "God hates" signs that are now synonymous with the church. He also assisted in remodeling the Phelps Chartered law office and building homes for various family members. But Steve's niche is making "crazy videos," he says, promoting Westboro's message. He became a kind of propaganda minister for the church, spreading its message 24/7. His "WBC Video News" shorts allow Phelps to hurl fire and brimstone at the latest newsmakers, and his short "Sign Movies" explain the meanings of various Westboro picket slogans. He also produced a half-hour documentary on Obama's ascension to the White House, along with videos called Beast Watch and Jews News. He estimates that he has made 190 videos for the church. His latest production is a series of shorts called "God H8s," Westboro's answer to the No H8 campaign.
His parodies of Lady Gaga, Eminem and Paul Simon are his most successful pieces. They've been viewed thousands of times on YouTube.
"The only reason I tried to make things look a little bit cool is so the people will stay there a little bit longer, so they'll get preached to," Steve says. "We're just trying to meet people where they are ... and rattle their cages a little bit."
No photos of Lauren Drain hang on the walls of Steve and Luci's Topeka home. There are photos of the Drains' other children — Taylor, 9-year-old Boaz Abel and 7-year-old Faith Marie (named after Fred Phelps' wife) — and members of the Westboro Baptist Church. Lauren's photos were taken down after she was kicked out of the church in December 2007 when she was 21.
"You don't put a bunch of pictures up of someone you're not in-tuned with and have strong feelings for," Steve says. "My strong feelings for anyone in this world have to do with them wanting to serve God. Even in a worldly sense, you don't put a lot of pictures up of your drunk uncle who's always been an asshole."
Steve and Luci say they turned Lauren "over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh." She was disobeying God, and they couldn't have that in their house.
"It's a dangerous thing when you don't obey the Lord, and that is a fearful thing," says Luci, a dental hygienist in brown medical scrubs and with a long graying ponytail. "We don't mess around with that. We had to be clear to her that this was not acceptable. So we weren't going to mess around with that anymore."
The reason: Lauren was carrying on a relationship with a man she had met online. "They were pretty far down the road," Steve says. "Let's say that whether I did all of the things with a woman, I would say all of the things I would have done and could do. It got ugly, dude. I'm embarrassed.
"I can't be dragged down by somebody who has no interest in serving the Lord," he adds. "So you go live your life, and I'll live mine. It's so shocking to people that I wouldn't unconditionally accept my daughter for whatever she does."
"It's not that she offended us," Luci explains. "It's that she disobeyed the Lord, offended the Lord."
When church members met about Lauren, Steve was the first to say that Lauren had to go. After several months of trying to get her to change, he confronted Lauren, a registered nurse, when she came home from work one day. "It was an unburdening," Steve says. "It was just a stifling burden for her and for us. She didn't want to live this kind of life, and we did. I wasn't trying to be cruel about it."
At first, Lauren didn't realize that she was being kicked out of the house. Luci cried because she knew that hell awaited Lauren. Steve gave his daughter money and a Toyota Camry. Several days later, Steve says, Lauren sent him an e-mail saying "good words." But he says he wasn't fooled. Anyone who has been around the church for a long time could mimic the words.
"We're fruit inspectors," he says. "You can't mimic an orderly walk. You either walk orderly or you don't."
Interviewed by Louis Theroux for a 2011 BBC documentary on Phelps called America's Most Hated Family in Crisis, Lauren said her father was caught up in "this crazy church." She said she'd like to see her family again but she knows it may never happen. "Some people lose their parents to cancer or car accidents or other things," Lauren said. "I've lost my parents to a cult." (The Pitch was unable to reach Lauren at her Connecticut home.)
Asked if he'd like to hear from her, Steve says, "God, no." He and Luci thank God that she left. Had she not been exiled, the BBC and the Australian version of 60 Minutes wouldn't have gone to Topeka to do stories. "Ultimately, she doesn't love the Lord," he says. "She doesn't fear God. She doesn't fear hell. And so, what can you do about that?"
"If she was one of the Lord's people, then she'd be here," Taylor says of her older sister. She calls the church "the happiest place in the world."
Phelps-Roper estimates that around 25 people have left Westboro since 2004. Phelps-Roper lost her son, Josh, as part of what she calls "a great falling away." Steve Drain says 12 of the 13 who have left in the past four years have been under the age of 25. But this isn't a sign of crisis, he says, because there's always a perfect number of people in "the Lord's church." Those who leave were just a test, sent to humble God's servants.
In March, two of the defectors, Josh and his cousin, Libby Phelps, appeared onstage for a question-and-answer session after the Kansas City premiere of Kevin Smith's Westboro-inspired horror movie, Red State. Josh talked of eventual successors to his grandfather. The two names he mentioned: Fred Phelps' son, Tim Phelps, and Steve Drain.
Months later, Josh's words are still ringing in Steve's ears as he strolls across the adjoining backyards of several Phelps family homes to the print shop inside Fred Phelps' home. It's also the church. Steve says he won't lead Westboro.
"The whole idea of having some long-range aspiration doesn't fit the notion of being a Christian," he says as he walks past the pool where he was baptized. "I have no desire for that. I don't feel equipped for that. And, as I said, I'm looking for the Lord to come any day now. I don't even think that's a condition of my mind."
Back at home, Boaz and Faith have returned from school. Steve calls them "walking picket signs." Faith, a little girl with long blond hair, a pink shirt and sparkly shoes, bounces around the house and gives her dad a big hug. Boaz, wearing a Super Mario T-shirt, blue jeans and Chuck Taylor All Stars, stands in the kitchen watching cartoons on a small TV on the counter.
Neither is a member of the Westboro Baptist Church, even though both attend church services. Neither has made a public profession of faith yet.
"The Lord hasn't done anything to their heart to make them feel inclined to say, 'I want to serve the Lord,'" Steve says. "They're my children, and I raise them to a Bible standard, and I make them behave themselves, but they're not members of the church."
Boaz and Faith may never make a public profession of faith. And that doesn't seem to worry the Drains.
"We're not results-oriented," Steve says. "We just do what the Lord says for us to do. And if he shows his mercy on us, he shows his mercy on us. We don't even know if we're going to heaven."

Maker of popular beer proposes new buildingMay 06,2014
The Associated Press
STOWE - A Vermont brewery that makes a high-demand beer has applied for a construction permit for a new building in Stowe.
The Alchemist brewery in Waterbury makes Heady Topper. It closed its retail shop in November, citing too much traffic.
The Burlington Free Press reports the site involves buying land from Stoweflake Mountain Resort and Spa.
The application calls for a 14,600-plus-square-foot commercial building for beer production and a retail outlet on a proposed 4-acre site.
The business owners say Heady Topper will continue to be produced at the Waterbury brewery, but the double IPA in the 16-ounce cans will be sold at the retail outlet/visitor center that is part of the proposed project.

Character actress Lorna Thayer dies
As a film and television character actress with more than 40 years in front of the camera, Lorna Thayer largely flew under the show-business...
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — As a film and television character actress with more than 40 years in front of the camera, Lorna Thayer largely flew under the show-business radar — with one notable exception that made film history.
Ms. Thayer was the waitress who memorably refused to bend the rules for Jack Nicholson in the 1970 film drama "Five Easy Pieces."
Ms. Thayer, who died June 4 at age 85 at the Motion Picture and Television Fund retirement home in Los Angeles after battling Alzheimer's disease for five years, had a long and varied career.
She appeared on stage in Los Angeles and New York, made guest appearances on countless television shows and had small parts in movies such as "The Lusty Men," "Texas City" and "Frankie and Johnny." She even co-starred in the 1956 horror film "The Beast with a Million Eyes," a low-budget cult favorite.
But then came "Five Easy Pieces," directed by Bob Rafelson with a script by Carole Eastman under the name Adrien Joyce: a small but high-profile role that earned Thayer a prominent position in the pantheon of memorable movie waitresses.
As the voice of authority opposite Nicholson's rebellious Bobby Dupea, a classical pianist-turned-oil-rigger, the middle-aged Thayer proved to be a formidable foil for the young Nicholson in what has come to be known as the "chicken salad scene."
Dupea: "I'd like a plain omelet, no potatoes, tomatoes instead. A cup of coffee and toast."
Waitress, pointing to his menu: "No substitutions."
And so it goes as Nicholson tries to get around the "no substitutions" policy and creatively come up with a way to get a side order of wheat toast.
"I don't make the rules," the increasingly annoyed waitress says at one point.
Dupea: "OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelet, plain. And a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee."
Waitress: "A No. 2, chicken sal sand. Hold the butter, the lettuce and the mayonnaise. And a cup of coffee. Anything else?"
Dupea: "Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich and you haven't broken any rules."
Waitress: "You want me to hold the chicken, huh?"
Dupea: "I want you to hold it between your knees."
Waitress, pointing to the right-to-serve sign: "Do you see that sign, sir? I guess you'll all have to leave. I'm not taking any more of your smartness and sarcasm."
Dupea, having calmly put on his sunglasses and picked up his gloves: "Do you see this sign?"
In a sudden burst, he sweeps his arm across the table, sending the water glasses, silverware and menus flying.
The scene, which is considered quintessential Nicholson, has had a long afterlife; no Nicholson tribute or compilation of memorable Hollywood lines does without it.
In playing the part, Ms. Thayer tapped into some of the waitresses she had encountered on the road as an actress, her daughter Adrienne Cataldo told the Los Angeles Times this week.
"Most waitresses are wonderful, but we've all encountered a waitress that kind of grates on you," Cataldo said. "She just kind of went in with that attitude."

THURSDAY, May 26 (HealthDay News) -- The number of children presenting to emergency departments in the United Kingdom increased between 1997 and 2007 to 2008, although the majority of medical conditions presented remain the same, according to a study published online May 23 in the Emergency Medicine Journal.
Rebecca Sands, M.R.C.P.C.H., from the Nottingham Children's Hospital in the United Kingdom, and colleagues compared the common medical problems of children presenting to the pediatric emergency department of a U.K. university hospital between 2007 and 2008 with those presented 10 years earlier. Data were collected from the electronic patient records of 39,394 children, aged 0 to 15 years, on presenting problems, demographics, and referral sources. The presenting problems were ranked and compared to data from a 1997 cohort of 38,982 children.
The investigators found that medical attendance in the emergency department increased by 42 percent, from 10,369 in 1997 to 14,724 in 2007 to 2008. The 10 most common presenting problems, which accounted for 85 percent of the medical attendances, included breathing difficulty (20.1 percent), febrile illness (14.1 percent), diarrhea with or without vomiting (14 percent), rash (8.6 percent), and cough (6.7 percent). The proportion of presenting problems in 2007 to 2008 was similar to 1997; however, there were 10.9 percent fewer patients presenting with breathing difficulty in 2007 to 2008.
"Over a 10-year period, attendances to the pediatric emergency department have remained similar; however, there has been a disproportionate rise in the number attending with medical conditions. The presenting problems also remain similar, although there has been a significant reduction in those presenting with difficulty in breathing," the authors write.

which urban area?
because, depending on that... he might... he just might. i would in some areas that i never go to. but if i did have to go there, i would carry something visible and intimidating as all hell. nothing says "keep away" like a head on a pike though...
as to the surgery, would you let someone die if you couldn't wash your hands but could perform the surgery right then and there? ...
the black tie affair in my underwear? only on a triple dog dare. ;) LOL.
seriously though,
as to what another has said, what is a second amendment right if you are stupid for exercising it? we can argue "time and place", in a public setting, but then if there are times we "aren't allowed"... then we really don't have any "Rights" protected by the constitution.
They could have been walking to the gun range or a gun repair shop, etc... they have every right to travel unmolested when they have not violated the rights of another person. by arresting their movement, they have molested their right travel, robbed them of time and dignity as a free person.
If someone felt that threatened by them, they could have followed behind, at good distance, with a weapon and\or cell phone.
I use Blue Wave, but don't expect one of THEIR silly taglines.

In this captivating debut novel, Julia Glass depicts the life and loves of the McLeod family during three crucial summers spanning a decade. Paul McLeod, patriarch of a Scottish family and a retired newspaper editor and proprietor, is on a package tour of Greece after the death of his wife. The story of his departure from the family home in Scotland and late gesture towards some sort of freedom gives way to his eldest son's life (Fenno). Fenno protects his heart by putting himself under emotional quarantine throughout his life as a young gay man in Manhattan. When he returns home for his father's funeral, this emotional isolation cannot be sustained when he is confronted by a choice that puts him at the centre of his family and its future. Three Junes is a novel about how we live and how family ties (those that we make as well as those that we are born into) can offer redemption and joy.

San Diego challenges state law on pensions
Also backing the suit are Teamsters Local 911 and the International Association of Firefighters Local 145.
The San Diego and Imperial Counties Labor Council, which backed Hueso's bill, declined to comment.
Unions that have not signed on are the Police Officers Association, whose members are still eligible for pensions, and the Deputy City Attorneys Association. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union also hasn't signed on to the suit. It represents nearly 1,800 workers.
Michael Hudson of the attorneys group said his membership is staying neutral. "We are neither for or against it," he said.
Goldsmith said the union participation he does have is gratifying.
"We agree to the value of honest negotiations without state interference," he said.

Controversial beach volleyball courts open in Teddington
By Teddington People | Tuesday, July 29, 2014, 11:08
A controversial decision to turn Broom Road tennis courts into new volleyball 'beaches' took effect last Thursday.
The new beach volleyball court at Broom Road.
According to the Council the project, costing £50,000, will add to just a handful of places across the Capital where Beach Volleyball can be played. They will replace netball and tennis courts which the Council says have fallen into disrepair and were underused.
However nearby residents disagree saying the courts were popular and well-used all year round. Disappointed that the decision was not mentioned at regular meetings, residents also questioned whether the courts would be used beyond a few weeks in the summer.
One resident said: "The Rec is shrinking. With the new courts, a children's playground in the middle and the 'wild garden' there is less and less green space where people can walk or go for a run or sit down in the summer. There may be 'strong support" for a local beach volleyball facility from local clubs. However, this is a residential area not the Olympic Stadium. Broom Road, Melbourne Avenue, Langwood Chase, Holmesdale Road and Trowlock Island cannot cope with the visitor parking and noise nuisance from the sports club now. The tennis courts are used in all weathers - why not refurb them?"
But speaking of the decision, Richmond Council Cabinet Member for Sport, Cllr Bond, said: "The Council has brought the beach to Richmond this summer so our young people can enjoy free beach fun on their doorsteps. The beach volleyball courts will bring so much pleasure to so many people across the borough. I urge as many people as possible to bring their children along – and pop along to the beach volleyball sessions too and try their hand at a new sport!"
What do you think? Should the tennis courts be refurbished? Is beach volleyball a good idea? Let us know in the comments section below.

It's one of those mornings again. It's the kind where everything seems to be locked in a gray haze of cold, sleet and grime. The idea of getting up to exercise on these mornings is especially hard- even for people like me that seem to thrive in the early dawn hours. There are plenty of excuses that I could give myselfits too cold, skipping one day won't matter, or my personal favorite- the bed is too warm.
How many excuses have you used? Can you think of any others?
The truth is that getting in shape, that exercising on a regular basis is sometimes hard. Staying motivated to keep going the distance can be difficult, and no amount of pep talks or high energy fitness gurus will keep you going if you don't want to. In fact I find most of those peppy fitness gurus just a bit annoying, but that's me.
So let's get back to the basics. The only way you are going to stay motivated to get up, to exercise on these days when a down comforter feels like a much better idea is to do it yourself. Put your feet on the ground, stand up straight and tell the world exactly why you want this. Is it to finally fit into that little red dress? Is it to lower your cholesterol? Is it to be able to play with your child without wheezing? Whatever your reason is for striving for a healthier body, mind and soul it's up to you to keep yourself on track. It's also up to you to get yourself back on track in those times that you derail- and we all do.
So this morning I'm getting up. Grumbling, and complaining that the sky is too gray, the world too grimy, but still I'm stretching. I'm still doing my morning tai chi and my morning exercises. Within the morning fog of my mind I'm still keeping my goals firmly rooted, and they're not going anywhere. And slowly, ever so slowly I begin to see a bit of light dawn on a brand new day.
