Rating of 4/4
This is an oldie but goodie film. I watched it several times to be able to grasp the entire concept and catch all of the things you wouldn't see the first time. For instance every time a spirit was present M. Night Shyamalan would show something red. A lot of detail in a movie and I loved it. Great cast and very believable. Although we are given four stars here I give it five stars.

I see Bad M. night shyamalan movies. this movie is chilling and pretty scary at parts, but the ending is one of the most saddest endings ever, I will not say what happens at the end just watch it and see.

Rating of 3.5/4
This is a movie that forces you to watch it over and over again, and I don't mind. There's so much detail put into this film (such as the fact that the background sounds are actually various creatures and humans breathing) and Haley Joel Osment is (was, I suppose) one of the greatest child actors. It can be suspenseful, creepy, sweet, thoughtful...it pays attention to the characters and the story and doesn't reduce itself to the formula of a typical thriller, which is why it's great.

"I see dead people"
This movie isn't just thriller in the modern sense, but it is also a ghost story that is fresh and original, even to this day. It has long been believed that children are better than adults at seeing ghosts; in this movie, that holds true. A small boy (played by Haley Joel Osment) solemnly tells his psychologist, "I see dead people. They want me to do things for them." He seems to be correct.
Using an "as if" approach to therapy, the psychologist Crowe (played by Bruce Willis) asks Cole (Osment), "What do you think the dead people are trying to tell you?" This is an excellent question, seldom asked in ghost stories, where the heroes are usually so egocentric they think the ghosts have gone to all the trouble of appearing simply so they can see them. Cole ...

sense is not engaging till the peak moment
Supernatural thrillers are very common nowadays. Having much belief in spirits or not this movie is one of those rare thrillers which can slightly frighten. Some believe and some do not believe in spirits and me being the second case I cannot speak anything logical about script. Directed by Night Shyamalan and distributed by Spy Glass is this supernatural thriller casted by Bruce Willis, Haley Joel Osment and co.
Spirits have unfulfilled wishes and they roam about to get the job done. Here the case is all about a boy Cole (Osment) who has the secret untold to anyone. He can see dead people and speak with them. Child Psychologist Malcolm (Willis) helps Cole solve the problem and in fact try to bury his own problems with his wife (Olivia Williams). There are some spirits waiting for help a...

"The Sixth Sense" by Yojimbo
The Sixth Sense PG-13
A child psychologist who is shot by a former patient he failed to help becomes obsessed with the case of a small boy who is exhibiting similar symptoms. Although M. Night Shyamalan's career has taken a serious dump since his halcyon days, The Sixth Sense is the film he will always be remembered for. A mix of supernatural thriller and wish fulfilment fantasy, it delivers both spine tingling chills and pushes all the right emotional buttons when presenting this sensitively told tale of a small boy who is living in constant fear of the dead who seem to be stalking him. Although the famous twist in the tale is the biggest talking point, it's amazing how well the story stands up even when you know that it's coming; you find yourself admiring the subtlety and cleverness o...

Zurek / Zur (Polish Sour Rye Soup)
Zurek (zhurek), or zur, is quite the traditional Polish soup with a distinctivly sour taste, which comes from so-called sour leavening, originating from fermentation of rye flour and bread crusts. Zurek soup is especially common as a food eaten during the Easter holidays. To serve it like the Polish do, hollow out a round loaf of sourdough (zakwas) bread, similar to San Francisco's Boudin Bakery serving their soups in the hollowed-out sourdough. This soup is often accompanied with hard-boiled eggs, a roll, and kiełbasy (kielbasa, Polish sausage), usually a white sausage, or biala kielbasa.
Like many Polish soups, Zurek, sometimes called Zur, is a sour soup. In English, it is referred to as the "sour rye soup," because it is made with soured rye flour, along with meat. Meats that go with this soup are typically kielbasa or smoked pork sausage, bacon, or ham. Though Zurek is specific to Poland, a variation of it is also found in other western-Slavic cuisines; Slovakia has its similar kyslóvka, and the Czech Republic has their kyselo. There is also another Polish variant known as barszcz biały ("white borscht soup"), made with wheat flour instead of rye.
- 1 cup rye flour
- 2 peels from two slices of wholemeal/rye bread (opt.)
- 3 cloves of garlic - crushed
- 3 bay leaves
- 2 cups of warm water
- 2 white sausages, chopped
- Sourdough base (zakwas)
- ½ bunch parsley
- 1 medium-size onion
- 3 potatoes
- 3 tbs. thick sour cream
- 1 tbs. of marjoram
- salt & pepper to taste
- hard-boiled eggs when ready to be served
- Pour the rye flour into a pot, preferably clay in nature, if possible.
- Add the pressed garlic.
- Pour warm water into mixture.
- Mix it well enough so that the mixture is consistent and thickens slightly.
- Leave for 4 to 5 days in a warm place, like on a windowsill. After these few days, it should have that distinctive sour smell. This dough can be stored in containers for up to a month.
- Pour sourdough into a large pot, add about a cup of water(to taste, acidity is adjustable), and bring to a boil.
- When boiling, add the parsley, bay leaves, marjoram, and salt & pepper to taste.
- Add the chopped sausage.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a separate pot.
- Cook until soup gives off a strong aroma.
- Add more salt, pepper and other seasonings to taste.
- Turn off heat, then add the sour cream, eggs, and boiled potatoes.
- Stir and serve.

SKETCH: Hague Statement on Iraq, Iran
The Commons decided not to spend the Iraq statement flaying and nailing Tony Blair's body to the floor of the House (an error, in this observer's view).
However, Angus Robertson asked whether the Global Maniac should resign his position as Peace Envoy to the Middle East. Tobias Ellwood pointed out that before Blair, there was no Al Qaida in Iraq, and that he created "a vacuum of governance". Jeremy Corbyn referred to his destruction of that country's civil institutions. And a number of others expressed relief the Government wasn't going to send the army in to effect a reconciliation between the sects, factions, death cults and End Times idiots that comprise the Middle Eastern polity.
Gently-spoken, mild-mannered Alistair Burt said governments over there didn't appreciate what they were facing, and needed to "kill off the ideology and the people who are propagating it". What, all of them? In the name of diversity, plurality and inclusive democracy?
The only forces that might actually overthrow the medievalists are theologians and feminists. As the latter have more guts than the former let's send them in first.

- Hewlett MoCa is much betterOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/22/2014We have dined at Forest Hills Moca twice. Both times were poor experiences. My husband's food was chewy. The waiter didn't offer us something else nor did he remove this meal from our bill. The Manager, Jack, was WONDERFUL. He was the ONLY positive about our experience at Moca Forest Hills. He removed our meal and offered a replacement. The Hewlett Moca is superior. We have eaten there MANY times, always with wonderful feeling about the restaurant. I would recommend you drive the extra few miles and go to Hewlett Moca….Aggravation and disappointment in my Saturday evening meal wasn't part of our game plan!
- RushedTrippDined on 10/11/2014I love MoCa, it's a great find and the food is amazing but the waitress that we had was a bit antsy to say the least. I made reservations for a date night and was expecting to have a nice and relaxing night, however we were done within 20 minutes of our arrival time. The waitress cleaned up our plates before we were done eating and I barely had a sip of my drink when the check was brought out. This was the second time I went to MoCa, this time it was in the evening; the first time was during lunch time so it was a more relaxed environment. Definitely recommend it during brunch/lunch time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great SpotoyinDined on 10/11/2014The waiters are always good to me here. Very personable. One of the waiters actually remembered me from my previous visit, therefore he came over & greeted me. Always great service & let's not forget great sushi.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 49 reviews are from the MoCA Asian Bistro - Queens reviews archive.
- Best in Forest HillsBestSushiOmakaseInNYVIPDined on 7/19/2014Although nothing spectacular about it, it is a VERY solid neighborhood place- took my whole family out for dinner and ordered many appetizers and entrees- and while only one dish was really special, everything else they served us was "really good". So as long as your expectations are not unrealistic, (like thinking this is NOBU) you will have a good meal and good time, at a fair price....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food is so-so, sloppy serviceLanaDined on 6/7/2014Sushi were OK, sashimi tasted like just thawed (had some frozen spots). Asparagus was terrible. Service was very sloppy: the personnel was friendly, but inexperienced. We asked to replace rice with veggies for my mom in her main entre. They did not bring rice, but they did not serve veggies either. For others rice was served 20 min later than the main dish.

- Probably wont retuensdb123VIPDined on 4/27/2014When I dined, I tried to pay partial with opentable dining check. They claimed they had no clue what it was. they called the manager who also had no clue. I asked how can they not know what it is if they use opentable to book reservations. So basically I could not use the dining check. I asked for the drink menu to be left with me but every 30 seconds someone kept coming to take it from me. its like they had limited menus. My food was mediocre. I order a king crab roll. The roll was chewy like the crab was frozen, then overcooked. The rest of the food uneventful. I dined here before which wasn't an awesome experience but gave them another chance. They failed.Special Features:
- lacking in serviceChefzVIPDined on 4/12/2014Servers with no personality and lacking any sense of emotion is a unfortunate because the food is quite good. I would give it a another try though.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- jenn729Dined on 3/21/2014After seeing friend after friend check-in to this restaurant I figured it had to be good. It was also one of the few non-chain restaurants open after 10pm. I ordered three appetizers, the wasabi shumai, rock shrimp, and wonton soup. I enjoyed the wonton soup but the others were not to my liking. The group of friends I went to also had hit or miss appetizers and entrees. There was no middle ground. I will say that some of my friends enjoyed the wasabi shumai so maybe it was just not my cup of tea.Special Features:
- would return but...sdb123VIPDined on 3/21/2014Food was good although my husbands was not that cold. The service was lacking. When we arrived we told one lady with a clipboard that he had a reservation and she said ok but it will be several minutes. Didnt ask our name and she was going to seat the walk ins first. We decided to check in with another lady who had the actual reservation system in front of her and she told them to seat us right away. It took a while for someone to come to our table. When he did he knew nothing about the menu and i ended up ordering something completed diffsrent than i expected based on his description. When i asked a menu question he just reread the description to meSpecial Features:

- DecentDrRichDined on 10/23/2013MoCa is a local neighborhood restaurant on a very crowded Austin Street in Forest Hills characterized by little or no parking. I met a friend for dinner. Low lights allowed the couple directly across from me in abooth to be making out for 1/2 of my dinner. Interesting-distracting-and of course the wait staff had no clue how to intervene. They didn't! Food was decent. I had a Filet Mignon Roll and it was difficult to find the filet. Noise level was moderate. I might go back if I was in the area again.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just okOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/11/2013My experience was just ok. Food was decent. They served us water in a cracked glass and it was leaking the whole time. Really odd. I really doubt that they read the OpenTable reservations since I had a special request as a first date and they did not accommodate it nor evementioned it. Probably won't be going back for a while since there are many options in the area.Special Features:

When I went, they couldn't find my name/reservation. 4 of the 7 people had arrived and they wouldn't seat us until at least 5 people came. So we waited another 15 minutes until a 5th person arrived. We were finally seated and everything was pretty smooth from there. The rolls are amazing and so are the drinks. The aura of the restaurant is also amazing.Special Features:

My biggest issue was that I walked in told the hostess that I had a reservation and was told I would have a 45 minute wait. I was there 5 minutes before my reservation time. They clearly were not organized or ready to handle a the crowd. After speaking to someone else about my reservation I was able to get seated pretty quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant is really good and my wife and I really enjoyed our food. The waiter would disappear for a while but then when he brought our dessert he immediately put the check on the table and was hovering to move us alongSpecial Features:

The service and food was delivered extremely fast -- we finished appetizers and the entree and were back in our car on the way home in LESS THAN ONE HOUR.

- Very disappointed! We've dinedOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 12/26/2011Very disappointed! We've dined at this restaurant several times. Service was always a bit rushed and uneven. This time was the worst. We went for their special $45.00 prix-fixe menu. Our reservations were for 7:00 PM. The waitress told us the surf and turf entree was wonderful. When we all ordered the surf and turf, we were told they only had two left. When it was time for the desert (only one choice was given) we were told they only had two left. One of us should pick any desert from their regular menu. The desert chosen was not available. What nonsense! Besides being disappointed in the service and lack of menu availability, the restaurant was boiling hot. All-in-all, not a great dining experience.

Ibiza is a Mediterranean island situated 80km off of the coast of Valencia.
The Island is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, which is an autonomous community of Eastern Spain.
The largest city on the island of Ibiza is also called Ibiza towards the South East, with other notable cities on the island including Sant Antoni de Portmany and Santa Eularia des Riu.
Like many locations on the eastern coast of Spain, Ibiza's local language is a derivation of Catalan, rather than the Castillian language spoken throughout most of Spain. For this reaon, many place names on the island of Ibiza actually have Catalan and a Castillian versions.
Ibiza has gained immense popularity over the last twenty years for its nightlife experience and affiliations with electronic music, DJs and producers. Interestingly, Ibiza's founders back in 654BC dedicated the Island to Bes, the god of music, celebration and dance.
However, music and dance didn't contribute towards Ibiza's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its coastline, sealife and architecture all being recognised instead.
Tourists flock to Ibiza seeking all kinds of holidaying experiences on Ibiza - nearly 3 million tourists pack their bags for the Balearic Island every year.
This popular Mediterranean tourist destination offers temperatures reaching between 22 and 26 degrees C on a regular basis, whilst the colder seasons often bring about temperatures in the upper-teens. The climate reaches its pinnacle during the summer months, with August being the Islands hottest month with an average temperature of 30 degrees C.
Ibiza has an intriguing demographic, with nearly 30 percent of inhabitants hailing from other countries as migrants. In addition, the population has grown by 50 per cent since 2001, with nearly 140,000 people living on the Island today compared to 88,000 at the turn of the millennium.
Much of Ibiza is commercialised as a result of its reputable night life, resulting in live music events such as Ibiza Rocks and various music venues that host DJs and bands from across the world.
However, many parts of the Island have been protected after the island became a World Heritage Site, including many coastal areas and significant landmarks such as God's Finger in Benirras Bay.

Catalytic conversion of bio-oil vapor has attracted considerable interest as a promising pathway for upgrading. In this work, the reaction of anisole and guaiacol, phenolic model compounds commonly existing in bio-oils, were studied over an acidic silica-alumina catalyst and at varying space times (W/F) and time-on-streams. The reactions were carried out in gaseous phase fixed bed reactor under hydrogen at atmospheric pressure and 300 oC. It is found that transalkylation is the predominating pathway, while insignificant deoxygenation activity was detected under the investigated reaction conditions. Deactivation of the catalysts is rapid and more severe in the case of guaiacol feed. As a result, conversion of anisole is generally higher as compared to that of guaiacol. It is suggested that the strong adsorption of the phenolic compounds is responsible for the catalyst deactivation. In this contribution, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation was performed to simulate the adsorption of the phenolic compounds on acid sites. Based on this present calculation, it exhibited the adsorption energy of guaiacol is significantly higher than that of anisole. This trend is consistent well with the experimental observation.

`The Bold and the Beautiful' wins drama series
LOS ANGELES "The Bold and the Beautiful" won drama series honors at the Daytime Emmys on Sunday, the CBS soap opera's first such victory in 22 years on the air.
It was a poignant victory for executive producer Bradley Bell, whose late father William J. Bell co-created "The Young and the Restless," a show that was honored seven times in the same category. The younger Bell's mother, Lee Phillip Bell who worked closely with her husband and also on her son's show, cheered him on.
"It's incredibly exciting because I grew up going to visit that show," Bell said backstage. "It's sweeter after 22 years, it didn't come in five or 10 or 15 years. I think my dad is here in spirit. He would probably say, `It's about time.' I took out the expletive."
The live telecast on the CW went off the air just as the cast and crew was assembling on the stage to accept its trophy.
"That's fine with me," Bell said. "The less of me at a microphone the better. It was your run-of-the-mill acceptance speech."
Drama series lead acting honors went to Christian LeBlanc of "The Young and the Restless," and Susan Haskell of ABC's "One Life to Live."
LeBlanc scored his third career trophy, taking a playful bite out of the globe on the trophy.
"You cannot resist the excitement," he said backstage.
"Guiding Light" earned one of its last trophies before it leaves the air after 72 years. Jeff Branson, who plays Shayne Lewis on the CBS soap, tied for supporting actor.
"This is so bittersweet," he said backstage.
He tied with Vincent Irizarry of ABC's "All My Children," who got his soap start on "Guiding Light" in the early 1980s.
"I have such affection for that show. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of television history," Irizarry said backstage. "What other medium is producing product that lasts 72 years? It has entertained not only generations, but employed generations of people."
Singing, dancing, comedy and a touch of pathos set against the glitzy backdrop of a historic theatre were part of the 36th annual Daytime Emmys in an attempt to lure an eroding audience for award shows.
Sunday's broadcast relocated to the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, leaving its recent home at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre. Opened in 1926, the venue has hosted everyone from Judy Garland and Jack Benny to Duke Ellington and Stevie Wonder.
Honoring everything from soaps to talk shows to game shows, it's the first time the awards weren't on one of the major three networks. They had alternated between ABC and CBS the last four years.
Host Vanessa Williams' singing and dancing chops were on display in the opening number, a parody set to "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" from the Broadway musical "Jersey Boys" in which she was comically inserted into scenes from soaps and game shows.
Later, she sang and danced with "Dancing With the Stars" runner-up Gilles Marini.
The Daytime Emmys paid tribute to "Guiding Light," which CBS canceled after a 72-year run that predates television. The low-rated soap will air its final episode in September, leaving just eight daytime dramas on the air. CBS and ABC will have three weekday soaps, with NBC having one.

Delicatessen doesnt open till 6 p.m. today, but last night, after two years in the making, it finally opened its garage windows for a party thrown by Interview. Despite the proximity to neighborhood killjoy Janet Freemans house, the D.J. wasnt shy about blasting songs like Everybody Nose and Cocaine. Ironically, during the latter song we spotted a pair of naughty girls coming out of a restroom that (outfitted with mirror walls and hidden behind metal walls resembling airline cargo crates) is a throwback to nineties lounge design. As you might expect from the owners of Cafeteria, the rest of the place is, too. Theres not much new about the sleek surfaces, backlit back bar, and the cabinlike (odoriferous!) wood panels upstairs, but we were wowed by the square, eight-table room downstairs, where theres a D.J. booth, a wall mural by Jos Heredia, and a sunroof offering a view of the tenement buildings above.
Downstairs, a narrow hallway with Edison bulbs hanging from the ceiling leads to a VIP room where Terry Richardson (who designed the menu covers) was photographing guests including Padma Lakshmi. Sigh, she disappeared before we could get a word, but we did manage to get a moment with pinball-size latkes topped with salmon caviar, thumb-size bnh m sandwiches with portobello mushrooms and daikon radish, and cheeseburger wontons that tasted somewhat like fried White Castles. The drinks list promises jalapeo margaritas, a passion-fruit Cosmo, a mango mojito, espresso and watermelon martinis, and an absinthe Sazerac. Of course, the after-party was at the Beatrice.

Recently, I've seen a number of discussions along the lines of what makes a language declarative or imperative? (see, in chronological order, William Cook, Bob Harper, and Neel Krishnaswami). Trying to get a crisp definition of vague terms often involves endlessly going around circles. Just in case that isn't bad enough, in this specific case, some believe that their favourite term connotes superiority, thus setting otherwise reasonable people against each other. Intuitively, the two terms are talking about the level of abstraction of a programming language: declarative means that something provides more what and less how; while imperative is more how and only implicitly what.

Article Extras
Updated: September 6, 2012 6:08AM
SAN DIEGO, Ca. — Life is a countdown.
And it is a great day when all the numbers add up.
Maybe Tom Ham knew there was little time to waste. In 1955 the Los Angeles accountant bought the Bali Hai Restaurant in San Diego, now America's most iconic tiki destination with the closing of the Kahaki in Columbus, Ohio, in 2000.
The tropical temple of mirth sits on San Diego Bay with a breathtaking view of the city skyline.
"Tom didn't like sitting in an office doing taxes," said current co-owner Larry Baumann, who is Ham's son-in-law. "The restaurant was two years old when he bought it."
It was named Christian's Hut, after Fletcher Christian, the character who led the revolt in the 1935 Clark Gable film "Mutiny on the Bounty." Ham caught the drift.
"He figured out how to buy bankrupt businesses, solve the problems and then sell them," Baumann recalled during a relaxed afternoon conversation in the 50-seat Bali Hai lounge. The wide-open dining room seats 140 people. "Tom saw Shelter Island Incorporated had filed for bankruptcy," he continued. "He wondered what that was. It was the restaurant and the marina next door. He drove here from L.A. He walked in the dining room, looked around and said, 'This is Bali Hai.' Nobody knew what he was talking about. But he was well read and loved the South Pacific. And Bali Hai translates to 'top of the isle.' So this is truly the top of the isle."
Ham bought the property, sold the marina and checked in with his inner Tommy Bahama; he died of a heart attack in 1973 at age 53.
Baumann took over the operation after Ham's death and is now co-owner with his wife Susie, Ham's daughter. "I came to work for him as a part time bartender when I got out of the Navy in the early '70s," Baumann said, who had just spent 18 months in Vietnam. "I was in my early 'twenties and had no idea I would be here 40-plus years later," he said. "I met my wife here. She was her Dad's right hand. Tom Ham was way ahead of his time. He was chairman of the 100th anniversary celebration of San Diego."
Shelter Island offers more than the Bali Hai. Humphrey's Half Moon Inn & Suites is a pristine, 182-room Polynesian-themed hotel within walking distance of the Bali Hai. Concerts are presented in a 1,350-seat outdoor bandshell adjacent to the hotel. (Esperanza Spalding appears on Aug. 21; Bonnie Raitt headlines on Sept. 25. For a full schedule visit www.humphreysconcerts.com; room and concert packages available). The island also is a key component of the annual Tiki Oasis convention, which runs Aug, 16-19 in San Diego, attracting tikiophiles from across the world (visit www.tikioasis.com).
In 1989 the Baumanns ended the 28-year-old live Polynesian entertainment policy at the Bali Hai's subterranean South Pacific Room, which was a popular destination for Hollywood hipsters like Humphrey Bogart and Jerry Lewis. They came to Shelter Island because of the Del Mar Race Track, 20 miles north of San Diego.
"Many of them would stay at the Half Moon Inn," Baumann said. "We had Polynesian floor shows twice a night, six nights a week. Our Mai Tai led the way. It is the original Trader Vic's recipe. Lot of rum and no fruit juice. Everybody in the South Pacific Room drank those."
The Bali Hai has sold 2.2 million Mai Tais since 1953. "Of course every big city in the country had a tiki palace and maybe this location is what has worked for us," Baumann said. "If we were downtown maybe we would have gone the way of other tiki palaces." The South Pacific space is still used for banquets and weddings.
Shelter Island is actually a man-made peninsula. As a channel was dredged for Navy ships in the bay, a sandbar was created on which the tiki escapes were built. "Bali Hai was the first building they broke ground at in late 1952," Baumann said. "Then Kona Kai, the hotel on the other end of the island (800) 566-2524; www.resortkonakai) broke ground shortly after." The motto at the Kona Kai Resort & Spa is "Drive to Hawaii."
The Bali Hai was originally designed by a Los Angeles architect who is unknown to the current owners. A 5-foot-seven-inch wooden tiki known as Mr. Bali Hai greets customers at the front door. Regulars call the nutty-looking fiberglass tiki atop the roof as "The Goof on the Roof," and guests can order Goof Punch (Lemon Hart rum, Coruba Jamaican Rum, Jamaican Dark Rum, Jamaican Light Rum, passion fruit syrup and a blend of fruit juices; $15.75 with mug, $7.75 without.) I took the mug home. And I did not drive.
Some think The Goof is a nod to Fletcher Christian. Tiki historian Sven Kirsten has suggested the icon was modeled after a bar that was built for the 1935 set of "Mutiny on the Bounty," which was filmed on Catalina Island. There's more to it. "[Architecturally] The Goof on the Roof actually holds up the whole center of the bar," Baumann said.
The restaurant's round logs are made from heavy Ponderosa Pine from the Laguna Mountains in East San Diego. The rectangular wood comes from the Pacific Northwest.
"You could not replace this wood today," Baumann said. "We have some huge logs and very long beams. The wood is like an internal skeleton. I can literally take every window and wall out and just have a pavilion because there are no bearing walls. This is called 'Old European Bridge' style. This is how they used to build bridges, with big beams and big bolts."
The Bali Hai underwent a major renovation in 2010. Paint was sandblasted to reveal the original wood.
"Sandblasting took two weeks," said Baumann's son Grant, 40, who is the Bali Hai general manger. "The guy said there was 18 layers of paint over 50 years of paint. It came out beautiful. It ties the building together so well."
The Bali Hai recently signed a 40 year lease extension with the Port of San Diego. Part of the deal included the Bali Hai agreeing to make capital improvements on the building.
"The Bali Hai is blessed because we are woven into the fabric of so many family's lives," Baumann said. "Families spend every special occasion here."
And it is family that keeps the Bali Hai afloat. Susie is an accountant, just as her father was, and president of Shelter Island, Inc.

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) Stacy Lewis moved into position to take the top spot in the world, shooting a bogey-free 8-under 63 on Saturday to match the 36-hole record in the ShopRite LPGA Classic.
The second-ranked Lewis had a 12-under 130 total on the Bay Course at Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club
A victory Sunday would guarantee Lewis the No. 1 ranking, which Inbee Park has held for 59 straight weeks after taking it from Lewis. Park, playing in the windier afternoon session, had two bogeys and a double bogey on her final five holes to shoot 71 and fall seven strokes behind Lewis.
Lewis, the 2012 winner, won the North Texas LPGA Shootout four weeks ago.
Christina Kim was a stroke back after 67.
First-round leader Jennifer Johnson followed her course record 63 with a 70 to finish at 10 under.

Joel Quenneville shakes up struggling defensive pairings
BY Mark Potash Staff Reporter May 28, 2014 9:41PM
Updated: June 30, 2014 12:53PM
Coach Joel Quenneville continued to mix and match his forward lines in Game 5 of the Western Conference final against the Los Angeles Kings. But with the Blackhawks' playoff lives on the line Wednesday night, Quenneville also shook up his struggling defensive pairings.
Quenneville broke up the No. 1 pairing of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook — putting Keith with Niklas Hjalmarsson and Seabrook with Nick Leddy. Johnny Oduya, who had been with Hjalmarsson, played with Michal Rozsival.
The big change up front was with the No. 2 line, where Patrick Kane skated with Brandon Saad and Andrew Shaw.
"I thought Saad and Shaw were effective [in Game 4] — Kane can add to the mix," Quenneville said. "They had a good couple of periods there, generated some zone time and chances and scored a nice goal."
It was the fifth line Saad has played on in the five games of the series. He skated with Shaw and Peter Regin in Game 4.
"I think we can be a big threat," said Saad, who scored the Hawks' first goal in their 5-2 loss in Game 4. "He put us together for a reason — to bring that energy along with some skill. If we play our game and come out fast, we should do a good job."
Water under the bridge?
The Hawks downplayed a TMZ report that a Kings fan filed a battery claim against goalie Corey Crawford after Crawford allegedly squirted water from a water bottle on the fan late in Game 4.
Clark Wong, 27, who had been ejected from the arena for heckling Crawford, claimed the water bottle was filled with backwash and caused him eye irritation.
CBS reported that the Los Angeles Police Department was not investigating the matter.
Crawford was not available for comment after the morning skate at the United Center.
"I just heard about it on the way [to the news conference]. I'm not worried about it right now," Quenneville said after the morning skate. "I'm worried about the game, as Corey will [be],"
Faceoff blues
Puck-possession teams such as the Hawks thrive on winning faceoffs. But they have gotten progressively worse in that area during the playoffs.
The Hawks' faceoff win percentage has dropped from 53.3 percent against the St. Louis Blues to 48.8 percent against the Minnesota Wild to 44.3 percent through four games against L. A.
Jonathan Toews' deterioration in the faceoff circle is even more pronounced. Toews, who was ninth in the NHL in faceoff percentage in the regular season (57.2 percent), has dropped from 61.9 percent against the Blues to 53.8 percent against the Wild to 45.5 percent through Game 4 against the Kings.

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin's two senators are talking about economic issues as they make stops in the state.
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson stopped by Hsu's Ginseng Enterprises on Tuesday to discuss the creation of jobs, the ongoing situation in Iraq and a functional Congress.
He said the county's high business tax hinders the creation of well-paying jobs. He said companies don't want to set up shop in a place where taxes are double what they are elsewhere.
Johnson also spoke about ISIS, federal debt and the low approval rating of Congress.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin visited the Marinette Marine Corp. on Tuesday to talk about the Littoral Combat Ship program and the results of two federal audits. The reports pointed to concerns about the warships' maintenance, crew and operation costs.
She said improvements will be made as the program continues.

Sutton Elbert Griggs (June 19, 1872 - January 2, 1933) was an African-American author, Baptist minister, and social activist. He is best known for his novel Imperium in Imperio, a utopian work that envisions a separate African-American state within the United States.
Griggs was born Elbert Sutton Griggs (he later changed the order of his given names) in 1872 in Chatfield, Texas, to the Rev. Allen R. and Emma Hodge Griggs.[1] His father, a former Georgia slave, became a prominent Baptist minister and founder of the first black newspaper and high school in Texas. Sutton worked closely with his father on the National Baptist Convention's Education Committee. He wrote frequently later in life of his deep respect for his parents' characters and accomplishments.[2]
Sutton Griggs attended Bishop College in Marshall, Texas and Richmond Theological Seminary. Upon graduation, he became pastor of the First Baptist Church in Berkley, Virginia. There he married Emma Williams, a teacher, in 1897. In 1899, he became pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in East Nashville and corresponding secretary of the National Baptist Convention.
Griggs was a prolific author, writing more than thirty books and pamphlets in his lifetime and selling them door-to-door or at the revival meetings at which he preached. His first novel, Imperium in Imperio, published in 1899, is his most famous. In 1901, Griggs founded the Orion Publishing Company to sell books to the African American market. None of his four subsequent novels achieved the success of Imperium in Imperio, but he produced a steady stream of social and religious tracts, as well as an autobiography.
An admirer of W. E. B. Du Bois and a supporter of the Niagara Movement and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Griggs was strongly influenced by contemporary social theory. He believed that the practice of social virtues alone could advance a culture and lead to economic success.[3] The more radical ideas expressed in his novels, particularly Imperium in Imperio, have led him to be sometimes characterized as a militant separatist in the mold of Marcus Garvey. During his lifetime, however, his integrationist philosophy and courting of white philanthropy earned him the scorn of self-help advocates.[4]
Griggs's careers in both the church and social welfare sphere were active and itinerant. In Houston, he helped establish the National Civil and Religious Institute. In 1914, he founded the National Public Welfare League. From 1925 to 1926, he served as president of the American Baptist Theological Seminary, which his father helped found. His longest tenure—19 years as pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Memphis—saw him act on his belief in the social mission of churches, providing the only swimming pool and gymnasium then available to African Americans in the city. The Wall Street Crash of 1929 stripped the Tabernacle of investment funds and led to its bankruptcy. Griggs returned to Hopewell Baptist Church in Denison, Texas, then to a brief pastorship in Houston. Shortly after resigning that post in 1933, he died in Houston, and was buried in Dallas.[1]
Griggs's first novel follows a familiar formula: two childhood friends are separated by wealth, education, skin tone, and political outlook; one is a militant and one an integrationist. A traumatic incident galvanizes the more moderate friend into action, and the two work together to redress the injustice.
Imperium in Imperio (1899) follows this plotline with a startling twist: the revelation of an African American "empire within an empire," a shadow government complete with a Congress based in Waco, Texas. The light-skinned and more militant Bernard Belgrave who has been hand-picked to serve as president advocates a takeover of the Texas state government, while the dark-skinned Belton Piedmont argues for assimilation and cooperation. Bernard reluctantly has Belton executed as a traitor only after Belton resigns from the Imperium (an act that is tantamount to suicide), leaving the potentially violent and unstable Bernard in control of the Imperium as the novel ends.[5]
The Hindered Hand, written in 1905 as a direct reply to Thomas Dixon's The Leopard's Spots, contains graphic accounts of sexual violence and lynching, and was among the most popular African-American novels of the period.
With a stiff prose style and long rhetorical passages punctuated by melodramatic events, Griggs' novels are not models of "literary" styling. However, for the African-American audiences for which they were written, the novels provided a rare opportunity to read about the political and social issues that preoccupied them, including violence, racism, and the pursuit of political and economic justice.
Although he outsold more famous contemporaries, Griggs remained largely invisible in literary histories of the time. A re-issue of Imperium by the Arno Press in 1969 revived interest in Griggs, and several editions have been published since. Imperium has been embraced as an important addition to the history of utopian literature, western fiction, and African-American literature.

Posted Friday, October 5, 2012 --- 6:30 a.m.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson is making an appearance in front of the Milwaukee Press Club.
A panel of professional journalists will interview the former Republican governor on Friday.
Thompson and Democratic candidate Tammy Baldwin are vying for the seat that became open following the retirement of Democrat Herb Kohl.
A new Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday showed Baldwin with a 48 percent to 44 percent lead over Thompson, a gap that falls in the poll's 3.3 percentage point margin of error. She held a 9-point lead in the same poll two weeks ago.
The latest poll of 894 likely voters was done Sept. 27 through Sunday.
The general election is Nov. 6.

Mass Transit:
Preliminary Views on Options for Additional Fiscal Oversight of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
GAO-05-922T: Published: Jul 28, 2005. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 2005.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In recent years, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) has faced serious financial and budgetary problems as well as continuing challenges related to the safety and reliability of its transit services. At the same time, ridership is at an all-time high, and WMATA continues to provide critical services and considerable benefits to the Washington region and to the federal government. This statement discusses (1) WMATA's responsibilities for serving the interests of the federal government, including the agency's role in transporting federal employees and visitors to the nation's capital and in supporting homeland security for the Washington metropolitan region; (2) the current funding challenges facing WMATA and the options proposed to address these challenges; (3) preliminary information on some of the entities that currently provide oversight of WMATA and the focus of their recent reviews; and (4) some considerations and options in instituting spending safeguards and oversight of any additional federal assistance provided to WMATA, should Congress decide to provide such assistance. GAO discussed this testimony with WMATA and FTA officials, who provided comments and additional information that GAO incorporated as appropriate.
WMATA transports a substantial share of the federal workforce and provides an important means of transportation to special events that occur in Washington, D.C., as the nation's capital. WMATA's Metro Transit Police assists federal law enforcement agencies by providing expertise in civil disturbance management and explosives detection and by training first responders in emergency management techniques specific to transit environments. WMATA's Metrorail and Metrobus are the preferred means of transportation in an emergency scenario requiring evacuation, and both the regional and the District of Columbia emergency transportation plans rely heavily on them. A regional funding panel estimated WMATA's budgetary shortfall at $2.4 billion for fiscal years 2006 through 2015 if WMATA were to fund many of the projects in its 10-year capital improvement plan. This shortfall may be even greater because the panel's shortfall calculation did not include the costs of providing specialized transportation for persons with disabilities, as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act. To deal with WMATA's funding shortfall, the regional panel concluded that the region needs to develop a dedicated source of revenue for WMATA (e.g., local sales tax) and that the federal government needs to provide significant contributions because of the benefits it receives from WMATA. However, given the large federal budget deficit and competing claims on federal resources, GAO believes WMATA may also need to reexamine its own spending priorities. As part of its ongoing work on WMATA's oversight entities, GAO found that WMATA is subject to oversight from multiple entities that, since 2003, have issued hundreds of reports--which vary in scope--on a broad range of topics. These entities include WMATA's Auditor General, an independent external auditor, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and industry peer review panels. The entities have made recommendations to WMATA, which WMATA has generally implemented or plans to implement. As part of its ongoing work, GAO plans to analyze these reviews in more detail to determine if they comprehensively identify and address WMATA's overall management and operational challenges. GAO's ongoing work will also cover other FTA reviews and safety reviews of WMATA's operations. Congress, the administration, and GAO have long recognized the benefits of having spending safeguards and management oversight for entities that receive federal funding. If Congress decides to provide WMATA with additional federal funding, there needs to be reasonable assurance that the funds will be spent effectively. We identified several options for additional oversight that could be incorporated into legislation that provides additional federal funding to WMATA, including having WMATA officials periodically report to Congress on how the funding is being spent; specifying the types of projects for which federal funds could be used; and requiring that any additional federal funding be subject to FTA's oversight programs.

Seriously. Australian news outlet Fairfax Digital (free subscription required) reports that Britian's Queen Elizabeth II has purchased an iPod. A six gigabyte silver iPod Mini, to be exact. Fairfax Digital goes on to say, "...Prince Andrew, fourth in line to the throne, was reported to be behind the move.." So how does a royal get her digital music from her computer to her iPod? Again, from the article: "Obviously it is quite complicated to download songs, but I'm sure one of the courtiers will do it for her." Yeah, that's how I do it, too.

Maximum number of scanner threads (on each node) used for each query. By default, Impala uses as many cores as are available (one thread per core). You might lower this value if queries are using excessive resources on a busy cluster. Impala imposes a maximum value automatically, so a high value has no practical effect.
Default: 0
Currently, a known issue (IMPALA-488)
could cause excessive memory usage during a COMPUTE STATS operation on a Parquet table.
As a workaround, issue the command SET NUM_SCANNER_THREADS=2 in impala-shell
before issuing the COMPUTE STATS statement.
Then issue UNSET NUM_SCANNER_THREADS before continuing with queries.

There is a special place in hell for child molesters. Did Robert Sparhawk marry the mother to get to the daughters?

That's right! There should be a special place in hell for child molesters! They should burn in hell, and never return to see the light of day.

In a sociology class in college, we visited and talked with prison inmates and were told everyone hated child molesters. So there is a moral hierarchy in prison. Hopefully, what goes around comes around.
