PHOENIX – September 4, 2013 – As enterprise APIs are widely adopted to wire applications together and enable businesses to exploit new revenue channels, the need to manage these APIs has become critical. Axway (NYSE Euronext: AXW.PA), a market leader in governing the flow of data, today announced the launch of Axway API Server 7.2, combining a highly customizable API Developer Portal with a high-performance API Gateway. With this latest release, Axway API Server now provides the API foundation for the Axway 5 Suite, enabling companies to develop, deliver and manage data flows that span B2B, File Transfer, Email Security, and File Sharing using APIs. Axway was recently named a Leader in Gartner's 2013 Magic Quadrant for Application Services Governance which combines API Management with SOA Governance.
Darryl Pollock, Solution Architect, TransGrid in New South Wales, a company that owns and manages one of the largest high voltage electricity transmission networks in Australia – including more than 12,800 kilometres of transmission line and 91 substations and switchyards - said "The Axway API Server is a key component of our next-generation Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) infrastructure, as it enables us to rapidly on-board new and existing customers and suppliers via a secure and highly-scalable API management layer. Through its security and protocol mediation capabilities, the Axway API Server has reduced our integration time-frames from weeks to days."
"In today's business environment, APIs are critical to expose business services and connect with partners, customers, and cloud services," said Dean Hidalgo, EVP, Global Marketing, Axway. "Axway API Server 7.2, part of the Axway 5 Suite, is the foundation that enables companies to leverage APIs to help govern their data flows that span existing systems and application infrastructure, and extend beyond the enterprise edge to include B2B, mobile and cloud integration."
Axway API Server enables organizations to develop, deploy, manage and secure APIs. With Axway API Server, organizations can transform existing application infrastructure into APIs for delivery using the API Server's world-class API Gateway and Developer Portal. Enterprise-grade policies can be linked into identity management infrastructure including Microsoft Active Directory.
To be effective, API Management must span from the cloud to on-premise systems. Axway API Server 7.2 combines a highly customizable API Developer Portal with a high-performance API Gateway. In the cloud, the API Developer Portal enables developers to subscribe to APIs listed in a convenient API Catalog. The API Gateway then provides the bridge to on-premise SOA services. An elastic Amazon AMI deployment is available alongside a hardware appliance, virtual appliance and installable software options, providing the widest range of deployment options of any API Management vendor.
Key new capabilities of API Server 7.2 include:
The Axway API Server 7.2 is available for on premise deployment or as a cloud service and as part of the Axway 5 Suite and is available on premise or as a cloud service.

Okay so you know how it is.
Late night, too much sloe gin.
Loving the warmth of the twinkling lights on the tree.
Sooooo I decided to spend an hour working out how to do Bokeh with the lights... so after much giggling and using silly props and faffing around with the fstop.
I finally managed it... looks cosy and slightly magical, don't you think?
Here are some outtakes!:
Have a go with your tree... hours of wasted fun!!

text: RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - The South Dakota Board of Regents hopes to increase the number of Native Americans who attend state colleges. Regents plan to launch a program soon based on a study of American Indian attitudes toward higher education. Based on the results, they voted to create a new position at their office in Pierre for a liaison. The person will travel to schools and reservations across the state to work with high school faculty, students and their families to encourage Native American college attendance. Some areas of focus will include smoothing the college entrance process of testing and paperwork; applying for scholarships and financial aid; preparing for the social and cultural change of campus life; and overcoming attitudes that inhibit college attendance.

One minute he was a humble punter trying to peek up Debbie Harry's skirt at a Hammersmith Odeon gig, the next he was the owner of the venue which was to steal the Odeon's crown. If Simon Parkes' autobiography – full of raucous tales and Geezer-speak – is ever made into a film, it will be fun trying to find an actor who can do him justice. When he wants to sound hard, he can sometimes come across like Ray Winstone. But would Ray Winstone ever have banked at Coutts?

Living Asia Resort & Spa Lombok, Setangi Beach
Situated in a coconut grove and facing the Bali volcano Mount Agung, the Living Asia Resort & Spa Lombok nestles on the edge of one of west Lombok's longest, widest and most beautiful natural sandy beaches : Setangi beach, 10 minutes from Senggigi beach.
A room with a view
Gaze past Setangi beach, over the Lombok Straits to Bali beyond
Contemporary and chic, the Living Asia Holiday Resort in Lombok has been built around the concept of "Feeling Asia". The modern architecture, high ceilings, luxurious gardens, natural forms and traditional Lombok building materials come together perfectly and melt into the sublime natural décor of this little slice of heaven on the Island's West Coast. The hotel rooms have wonderful views over the crystal-clear waters of the Lombok Straits and Bali beyond….
The sound of nature
Listen to the waves lapping the beach and the gentle hush of the wind in the palm trees
The Living Asia Resort and Spa emphasizes tranquillity. It is the ocean that will waft its play of the waves and the windbells in the palm trees around you. Follow the nature's orchestra composing a song for you, and expressive dancers performing to traditional music. Listen to the sound of silence and freedom. That is the sound of Lombok. That is your perfect moment.

Mortgage Refi Boom Coming to an End but Don't Worry, Analyst Says
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The mortgage refinancing boom is coming to an end but that may not mean gloom and doom for the country's biggest banks.
In a July 25 note, Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski notes that fee income for the big six banks -- Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), U.S. Bancorp (USB) and Capital One (COF) -- was up 4.1% year-over-year, despite the decline in mortgage banking revenues.
That is because banks had other offsets, such as stronger investment banking revenues. He notes that mortgage banking revenues declined 12.5% year-over-year but investment banking revenues rose 33% and trust/brokerage/asset management fees rose 12.8%.
"Big banks' fee revenues are more diverse than people expect. Something always zigs when other things are sagging," Kotowski wrote. "In retrospect, it makes total sense that at this point last year, the economic uncertainty that brought a stampede into the bond market and generated all that re-fi activity would also have led to a dearth of investment banking activity, and now it makes sense that greater confidence leads to higher rates, fewer refi's but more banking."He also notes that though mortgage banking accounts for a decent chunk of revenue at the big banks, it does not generate a whole lot of the profits. For instance, at JPMorgan, mortgage production revenue of $2 billion adds only $1 million to the pre-tax line and just about 6% to the earnings per share. Even if the bank had earned half as much from mortgage banking, it would have still more or less been on target on earnings. So does mortgage banking really matter? "Mortgage banking revenues are important in that they generate a servicing portfolio which creates an ongoing annuity. They can also be an important window into a client that can be 'cross-sold' other products. We do not, however, live in dread wondering about whether bank earnings will collapse when the refi window closes, which it inevitably will," Kotowski said. Kotowski also weighs in on the bank rally in the report. Though there was nothing startling about second quarter earnings reports, the KBW Bank Index is still up over 8% since his June 28 preview, compared to the S&P 500's return of 5%.

Arizona Coyotes
Updated Jan 13, 2013 - 12:19 pm
Phoenix Coyotes not rewarded with national TV schedule
Coming off their best season since coming to the Valley in 1996, the Phoenix Coyotes were more than deserving of getting some extra national exposure when the 2013 schedule was unveiled Saturday night.
While the 48-game slate certainly hampered those hopes a bit, NBC and the NBC Sports Network didn't do the Pacific Division champions any favors, either.
The Coyotes won't be shown on NBC this season and will make just three appearances on the NBC Sports Network shown below:
January 20 - vs. Blackhawks (NBCSN)
April 22 - @ Red Wings (NBCSN)
April 27 - @ Ducks (NBCSN)
In comparison, Phoenix made four appearances on the NBC Sports Network during the 2011-12 season. Dave Tippett and Co. will also make two addition appearances (Feb. 9 at Sharks and April 4 vs. Red Wings) on the NHL Network.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Country star Kenny Chesney is starting a fund to help those who lost limbs in the Boston Marathon bombing.
A Tuesday news release says Chesney has established the "Spread the Love" fund with his own donation and will gift sales of his single by the same name as well. Donations will go to Boston Medical Center and other area facilities. Fans also can donate directly to the fund at http://bmc.org/Kenny.
The money will go to the purchase of prosthetics and fitting, follow-up care and physical therapy.
Three people were killed and more than 260 injured in the April 15 attack at the marathon finish line.
Chesney co-wrote "Spread the Love" with The Wailers. It appears on his new album "Life on a Rock," out this week.

Where has time gone? We just celebrated Christmas not so long ago and now, we are almost in the middle of the year! It's summer and as expected, everyone is complaining about the heat and the humidity. I wonder why so many people from the West so love this time of the year in our country?
So it's almost end of April. It will be Mother's Day before we even know it! Although I am not yet officially a mom, I would like to think that I would be receiving something special from the hubby on that day. He is very aware that I love perfumes, so maybe I could tell him to look into discount fragrances so he could have an idea what to give me! Now that is very cunning of me, isn't it?

I have been noticing that the bluebirds have returned for spring. We had a pair to nest in a small apricot tree in our back yard. So Sonny has gotten busy and made some bluebird houses and we have hung them up around the place. I'm so excited to see some straw hanging out the drain holes in the bottom of one. Not sure yet if it is bluebirds or not as we have a lot of wrens around and they love the houses we have everywhere. I'm still seeing the pair of bluebirds so I will keep up updated on whether they are using the house. We have already had our usual run in with a wren getting into the house. We have a doggie door and he happened to fly in it. It drove our doggies wild so they chased him to my studio where I opened a window and removed the screen and he was able to fly out. I've found this is the easiest way to get them out of the house. We have had redbirds to venture inside as well as humming birds. Living in the country can sometimes be a thrill with the wildlife that may happen to come around.
Well we got the gnome house door installed on the tree. The top picture shows the overall view with the gardenia "tree" to the far left with the little Gnome with the shove under it. I will bring out my other 2 gnomes later and plant flowers around this area. But I'm really pleased at the looks of it already.
Thought I'd post a picture of our house. It isn't much but it is home to us and I wouldn't live anywhere else. It is really a mobile home we bought in 1986. We were rushed to find a place to live when we moved here. There were no rentals in the area since it is rural and the house we were planning to buy fell through at the last minute. I was to start a new teaching postion in less than a week. So we bought the trailer and had it on a rent lot for about 2 years. In that 2 years we bought the 6 acres and cleared part of it. Then in 1988 while I had surgery my husband had it moved to this location. I wish I had taken before pictures but didn't think of it. We put a roof over the home first all the time continuing to clear the property. Then we added log siding. In 1996 we had the place completely paid for. We had intentions of building a nicer home on the hill behind it as the view is gorgeous. We even ran water lines up to the clearing. Well our son's had grown and left home by then and my husband and I decided that we didn't need a bigger home and that we were very very happy where we were. We did add on a nice dining room as it was needed with the growth of our extended family. All 3 son's married and have families of their own so it is a crowd when we all get together. We also added a large laundry room and moved in 2 freezers and 2 water heaters (electric and gas). We turned the old laundry room into a walk in pantry though it has not spilled out into shelves in our laundry room. When people come to visit they never realize that it is basically a mobile home. We have remodeled the livingroom, kitchen and both bathrooms. Our master bedroom is next on our to-do list and then the spare rooms which we now use for our 'playrooms/studios." We have also added a covered patio area (in photo) and a spa house behind the house where we house our spa hot tub and exercise equipment and house plants in the winter. It is HOME and quite comfortable and best thing is it is paid for!!! Since we didn't incur a mortage to build another house, we both were able to take early retirements. AAAAH!!! Life is good in our part of the country!!
This is my new gnome garden. I don't have the door installed on the tree yet but you can get an idea of what it will look like. We also go the small gardenia tree (looks like bonsai) planted in that area as well. I also have a couple more gnomes to get out there later too. I will post an update on it as it progresses. It has been fun to make this little garden spot. I hope to get some flowers in pots around this area as well. Even my husband has gotten into the fun of it and built me the door and we are just waiting for the varnish to dry. Enjoy!
We are getting around an average of 9 eggs a day now from our hens. And for 13 hens, I would say that is pretty good. We like eggs for breakfast. I eat one and Sonny eats 2, so you can imagine how they tend to gather around here. We give the kids eggs to take home and take to the neighbors and anyone else who happens to stop by the house. I tend to give our hard working hens a little extra feed every day to reward their hard work. They have gotten rather tame too...all but the rooster!! I expect one or more hen will soon start setting eggs. We plan to let some set and hatch for a good start on next years hens. Also free range chickens and eggs are much better for you and the eggs taste so much better fresh than store bought do. We enjoy the fruits of our labor (or our little hens' labors).

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG Review
by Matt Goldberg Posted 1 year, 9 days ago
After the disappointing The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, director Peter Jackson has found his way back to ruling in Middle-earth with the sequel, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Unexpected Journey gave us the comfort food of familiar locales, but the story lacked urgency. Desolation of Smaug reveals that while Unexpected Journey may have been a somewhat tedious set-up, the payoff is a fleet-footed, thrilling second chapter that confidently expands the world instead of creeping around the one Jackson previously created in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Network security and the federated social web
I woke up this morning to news of the onMouseOver XSS attack that was running through Twitter at the time. Users of StatusNet should be happy to note that the bug does not seem to affect our software -- even for notices imported from Twitter. I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss security issues in a federation context.
Firstly, kudos to Twitter engineers for identifying the problem, fixing it, and rolling out new code so quickly. An exploited security flaw in a production Web environment is extremely hard to deal with, and it's impressive that they handled it so well. Bob Lord's blog post covers it in detail.
It's easy to criticize Twitter for having the exploitable bug in the first place; it's also unfair. Anyone can see a bug after it's been revealed and exploited. Identifying latent bugs in an existing codebase is a maddeningly difficult effort. Making bug-free, secure code is a process, not a final goal -- there's always one more thing to fix, one more test to run, one more complex conjunction of different factors that results in an error.
There's nothing magical about Free and Open Source software to keep these kinds of problems from popping up. Linus's law ("given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow") does seem to cut down on the severity of problems, and there's a great advantage in letting security analysts see affected code so they provide fixes as well as reports of problems. But I don't think any project should claim security benefits just because their software is open source.
At StatusNet, we've had several security alerts; we've tried to be pro-active about known issues and get them fixed before they become problems. I can't commit to never having bugs; no one can. But I can commit to a culture of continuous improvement, responsiveness to reports from security experts, and transparency about problems with the software. Our record so far has been good and our reputation and relationship with security pros seems strong; I'm committed to continuing to earn them both.
One advantage that we do have over Twitter, in this regard, is a heterogeneous network. Just as disease-causing microorganisms rarely attack more than one host species, networks of mixed codebases and databases are more resistant (but not perfectly resistant!) to attacks by digital worms and viruses.
Using the standards in the OStatus suite, users of StatusNet can follow other users on Google Buzz, Posterous, Tumblr, WordPress, as well as the tens of thousands of sites on the status.net cloud service and the thousands of public StatusNet sites on the Internet. Simply put, it is exponentially harder to make and propagate malware that attacks many different platforms, with many different account databases, all at the same time. A single compromised site poses limited danger to the rest of the network.
As federated social web technologies and software continue to roll out, I hope that security issues play a part in the public discussion of their advantages. The more important social software becomes to our work and personal lives, the more dangerous the kind of attack seen today becomes.

While I really do like this new streamlined design I find that moving from one workspace to another sometimes results in a bit of choppiness during the Homemade Underarm Whitening Cream Recipes transition. Homemade Underarm Whitening Cream Recipes however that choppiness only lasts for a split second ' and the transition is much faster than it was between workspaces in X3. As mentioned before the Manage Workspace is really the same as the Organizer that was introduced in PaintShop Pro X3.
Many of these manufactured creams aren't meant to be applied for extended periods like several months or years at a time. Needless to say you have to follow whatever skin lighten for dark skin instructions given to you on how you should apply the cream since certain ingredients or chemicals in that manufactured cream may have adverse effects on your skin or your overall health when misused. When it comes to the time it takes for you to get the skin tone you want over the counter whitening creams may demand a little more patience from you although the same can be said for a home style concoction. Homemade Underarm Whitening Cream Recipes So let's just say this is dependent on what face Homemade Underarm Whitening Cream Recipes lightening cream you buy or what ingredients go into making the cream if you were to make your own. Even with homemade whitening creams you may notice positive changes in just days.
Six contained levels of mercury that were higher than legal limits in the United States. Five had levels of 6000 parts per million of mercury which is sufficient to cause kidney problems . The products came to the U.
But like many of the other theories this is simply a possibility and no evidence to support it has been found. Others claim it is quite impossible. The Zeppelin Company tested its engines numerous times during the Hindenburg's design process. According to its studies the temperature needed to ignite the hydrogen would have to be 1292 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius).
Bio Claire is definitely a good option for those who want to get lighter skin but it is always best to try it out w30x advanced melasma treatment first before buying the complete line just in case the products aren't compatible with your skin. It can be exciting to experiment with a new product but it won't do for you to apply something that you might be allergic to. This could cause discomfort and might even end up with your skin looking worse than when you started out so be smart and purchase samples for you to try out. For those of you who want a lighter whiter face but are undecided about whether an over the counter or homemade face whitening cream is better for you this article seeks to make the decision easier.
As a consumer that is also your right and responsibility so stay away from the places that don't measure up to commonly accepted customer service standards. With all these things in place your skin bleaching cream can make life much easier and give you the consistency of skin tone you desire. There are two ways to avoid dark spots: microdermabrasion and skin lightening products. If you take a look at what they can do for you it will be easy to make the right decision. Microdermabrasion st dalfour whitening cream france suppliers is a process used by many for removing any dark home remedies for a glowing skin spots from the skin.
Jonith Breadon said he was "shocked and speechless" that products with such high mercury content in them are so readily available. Retailers who had the creams and lotions in stock and promised to remove them. Two companies that were distributing the products say they will no longer do so.
Skin whitening soaps are among the most effective whitening products. Even though whitening soaps cannot be used as a standalone whitener when used with a herbal whitening cream they do hasten the process. Skin whitening soaps work because they are strong exfoliators.
It looks like Corel has finally decided that the 'new' names are just too much of a mouthful so the 'Photo' portion has been dropped completely and X4 has been re-rebranded again back to the more familiar PaintShop Pro. This may seem like a small thing to note but it is definitely one that makes me happy. Before digging deeper into the rest of the updates here's a quick overview of the major new additions in PaintShop Pro X4.
With the Fill Light/Clarity filter it only takes a few seconds to edit the photo so that the third kitten whitning cream and lotion all brand cheep is more visible. What a difference! In PaintShop Pro X4 the HDR tools have seen a complete makeover making it easier than ever to apply this extremely popular effect and create some amazing images. With the Exposure Merge feature you can pick and choose several photos taken with different exposure settings combine them all and save the result in an editable HDR file. After that you can fine tune the image to Homemade Underarm Whitening Cream Recipes create some truly stunning results. There's also a Batch Merge tool that takes advantage of auto-bracketing capabilities to process multiple HDR files. When using this feature you can still choose to save the resulting images as HDR files and further edit them with the Exposure Merge tool. The Photo Blend utility allows you to pick and choose specific elements from a set of photographs of the same scene and combine them in a way to create a more 'perfect' bleaching skin lightening cream shot.

1 in 5 Health Systems to Become Payers by 2018
For providers the health insurance business model is often a narrow network—typically comprising their own hospitals and affiliated physicians—that can be closely managed to control cost, quality, and coordination.
However, a marketplace reality is that scale is important. "If you're going to make this investment, you need enough revenue to support the effort," states Williams.
To offer effective health insurance coverage requires that a network include enough facilities and physicians to provide access and member convenience. While a provider may have a good strong footprint in a particular geographic areas, to have a viable product may require a broader coverage area. That probably means taking on a partner.
As a case in point, Williams offers the alliance between Piedmont Healthcare and WellStar Health System. Piedmont is strong in Atlanta's southern suburbs, but really needed a broader geographic coverage to offer a competitive insurance product. WellStar, with its presence in Atlanta's west and northwest suburbs, fits the bill. The two plan to offer commercial and Medicare insurance next year.
But jumping into the health insurance game is not a parlor game. Williams notes that decades ago hospitals and health systems lost a lot of money trying to take on capitation and broader risk.
Also, shifting from provider to provider-payer is a huge cultural change that involves thinking beyond managing facilities and capacity to a more holistic approach to patient care. "It's a different mindset," says Williams.

So do I understand correctly? Company A conducts a survey that appears to support the apparent market direction to align with Company B's services, which are presented here in the article. Company A co-founded/funded Company B with no mention in the article. Did I get that right?
bob sigmond (8/20/2013 at 1:54 PM)
Health systems are better advised to avoid setting up a competitive insurance plan. Rather, they should contract with a single, competitive, reform-minded insurer to [1]completely take over the pricing, billing and collection functions, canceling the costly contracts with collection agencies and [2] guarantee to pay the provider organization with a single monthly check, covering all patient income included in a collaborative annual budget that is based on a collaborative strategic plan to achieve Berwick's TRIPLE AIM for example. Of course, the contract would provide for a jointly governed, well staffed fund to monitor monthly budget reports and to make recommended adjustments whenever expenditures were exceeding patient income. At the same time, the fund would be available for covering capital expenditures when actual income was exceeding expenditures. The contracting provider organization would no longer have any worries about a negative bottom line, no more adversarial relationships with patients and other sources of payment, and no more involvement with fees-for-service. Their staff involved in the collection processes would become employees of the contracting insurer, stay on the provider site, and continue to be closely involved with the provider staff in serving patients collaboratively. The insurer would help the provider organization to make the cultural transition beyond exclusive focus on patient care to incorporate a much broader focus on less expensive population care, while also gradually increasing revenue from a much broader, patient -focussed approach to collections than the narrow perspective of the commercial collection agencies. One of W[INVALID] McNerney's powerful insights was his notion that providing and paying for patient care are two sides of the same coin. Except when both sides of the coin are entirely within the same organization, as in Kaiser-type HMO's, putting competitive financing elements on the provider side of the coin always leads to disaster. For insurers, collaborating with a trusting provider organization , taking over its collection function entirely, assures a significant role in the future as the key intermediary between the sources of the money and the provider. Insurers which do not rise to the challenge will probably [INVALID] out, as the insurer function becomes subordinated to the real role of the insurer as the intermediary third party payer for all sources of payment to each provider organization.

Nerves.....or a stroke?
Sunday night after the Grammy Awards, KCBS reporter Serene Branson was giving on on-air recap and her words were complete gibberish that were unintelligible. Many people were concerned that she may have suffered a stroke on the air. However, she was examined by paramedics at the scene and her vital signs were normal. Some people were critical of her going home and not getting a second opinion.
KCBS management has said that Branson has now been checked out again and that she is "feeling fine." However, according to the station's website, there is no indication on when she will be returning to work.
We discussed this on the morning show today, and a listener provided us with the guidelines to the signs of a stroke.

updated on rhinoplasty 19 months post op
Contrary to what they say, the swelling in the tip continues to decrease well beyond the 1 year mark. My nose has softened quite a bit since I last posted, and though it has reduced in size in the tip area it still feels like there's a tiny bit of swelling left, so I expect more refinement. I am much happier with the results now that the swelling has decreased. My nose is so much smaller and refined even though I had a huge bulbous nose to begin with, but without looking pinched or overdone. Dr. Behmand perfomed the rhinoplasty as well as septoplasty / turbinectomy (and upper lip augmentation). I would highly recommend.
you look awesome. Looking at Behmands gallery I would think he'd give you a teeny tiny nose but you obviously asked for the right things. You look like ScarJo!! Congrats sweetie!
thanks! my nose was actually turned up to begin with so he didn't have to do anything to accomplish that (i think). just removed a bump to reveal the natural curve underneath. i like teeny tiny noses like natalie portman's and winona ryder's i think they're ultra-feminine and sleek.

Best New Year's Movies
Here are five relatively family-friendly movies about New Year's Eve, at least partially, that make for great viewing:
1. THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, Quality: * * * *, Acceptability: +1, 1972: The classic redemptive adventure movie where Gene Hackman, playing a courageous Protestant reverend, leads a group of survivors out of a gigantic cruise ship capsized on New Year's Eve. A great Christian movie!
2. HAPPY NEW YEAR, CHARLIE BROWN, Quality: * * * *, Acceptability: +3, 1985: Charlie Brown and his friends celebrate New Year's Eve with a party.
3. AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, Quality: * * * *, Acceptability: +2, 1951: Gene Kelly recovers his true love at a New Year's Eve party in one of the great American musicals directed by Vincente Minnelli
4. AFTER THE THIN MAN, Quality: * * * *, Acceptability: +1, 1936: Nick and Nora Charles get involved in a murder mystery at a New Year's Eve party. Great light fun, but the Thin Man does love his alcohol, but he also clearly loves his wife.
5. THE APARTMENT, Quality: * * * *, Acceptability: -1, 1960: The basic storyline is somewhat racy – a man lets his boss and the higher ups in his company use his apartment to cheat on their wives – but there's a redemptive ending when the hero helps the girlfriend of his boss when she becomes suicidal out of guilt. True love overcomes in the end, and the hero stands up to his venal boss, played extraordinarily well by Fred MacMurray before he made MY THREE SONS and Disney's THE ABSENT MINDED PROFESSOR.

I just received this unlwecome bit of news from this board regarding D&D co-creator Dave Arneson:
David's cancer has unexpectedly worsened just this week, to the point that he is in the hospital. He is heavily sedated and not doing well. He is not expected to live for more than a couple days, if that long.
I doubt Professor Arneson will read this, but I am praying for he and his loved ones with everything in my being. He is a founding father and guiding light of the hobby, and I just hope he knows what he means to so many.
(Note: Please heed and respect the wishes of Professor Arneson's family, as noted here).
