Programming Tips...
When you write a new application, trying to make as much of the application as possible follow the POSIX standard will generally provide the highest level of portability. If an application "tracks," or follows the rules of, POSIX, it will compile without changes on almost every known version and clone of Un*x, and on Windows NT, OS/2 2.x, and recent versions of VMS, as well. If some system-dependent code must be written, it can be isolated and clearly marked, making it possible for the next person who ports the application to a new platform to port it much more easily. And programmers on non-POSIX-compliant platforms will probably know their platforms limitations, and know what to do to port your application to their platform.
Unfortunately, the current version of the POSIX standard is showing its age a little. To make a sufficiently powerful application, you generally need to use a more powerful standard, on which defines facilities missing in POSIX. In general, if your program compiles under System V (often referred to as SYSV) or BSD systems, it will probably compile without change under Linux. System V compatibility is enabled default in Linux, and I will show later in this article how to enable BSD compatibility. In general, the Linux libraries, combined with GCC, provide one of the easiest platforms available to port to. In fact, the greatest challenge in writing applications on Linux is to not use all the facilities available on Linux. To do so would make it difficult to port the application to other platforms, even though it would make the application easier to write originally for Linux, because many of these rich facilities are not available on other platforms. Some say that Linux is a better platform to port to than to port from.
For the future, a specification called "Spec 1170" is being written, and all operating systems will have to follow it to be called "UNIXtm". It is more powerful that most previous un*x specifications—powerful enough that common applications will not have to violate it to get real work done and will be widely followed, as most Un*x vendors have already pledged to support it. Spec1170 is being developed by X/Open, developers of the current XPG3 specification. Linux will eventually comply with most, if not all, of Spec 1170, but the developers will not commit to it without seeing the final standard.
There are essentially three areas in Linux which cause problems porting, two of which are not avoidable, and the other of which it would be undesirable to avoid.
In most cases, it has been possible to make library functions compatible with both SYSV and BSD, but in some cases, standards simply conflict. When this happens, the POSIX behavior is chosen, if POSIX defines it. (If POSIX does not define it, the most reasonable behavior is chosen, or some other standard behavior is used.) For instance, the behavior of signals has changed from one version of unix to another.
Signals in early versions of un*x were unreliable. Whenever a signal was called, the signal handler was uninstalled, and so the first thing that most signal handlers did was reinstall themselves, leading to code like:
void sigfoo_handler(int foo) { signal(SIGFOO, sigfoo_handler); /* Rest of signal handler */ }
However, if another SIGFOO signal was received after the signal handler had been scheduled to run, and before signal() had been called, the default behavior for the signal would happen (perhaps it was just ignored, or perhaps the program was terminated, depending on the signal), or if the new signal was received before the signal handler has returned, the signal could be lost completely. Later, reliable signals were introduced to solve these problems, but SYSV and BSD took different routes.
BSD introduced a sigaction() function to replace the old signal() function, and then re-implemented signal() in terms of sigaction(), but changed the semantics of signal() so that a signal handler installed with the signal() function stays installed. SYSV kept the old version of signal() which uninstalls itself, and introduced a whole mess of different functions for dealing with reliable signals. POSIX uses sigaction(). Linux follows POSIX, but can provide BSD signals if the BSD environment is selected, as described below.
Terminal handling also varies, and BSD terminal handling is significantly different from SYSV and POSIX, although SYSV and POSIX terminal handling are similar enough that both interfaces are easily provided by Linux by using the same mechanism in the kernel. The SYSV scheme is known as termio, and the POSIX scheme is known as termio. The older BSD scheme is known as sgtty. When porting a BSD application, you may notice compiler warnings and errors referring to sgtty.h, TIOCGETP, TIOCSETP, TIOCFLUSH, RAW, and other similar things.
To compile applications written specifically for the BSD platform, simply compile with the -I/usr/include/bsd flag, and link the application with the -lbsd flag. This makes BSD terminal handling ioctl()'s work, and makes signal() install the reliable signals that "recent" BSD code expects.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In Sandy, NYC rescuers find themselves the victims
NEW YORK When Sandy's storm surge plowed into the seaside neighborhood of Breezy Point, New York City police Officer and volunteer firefighter Tim O'Brien was part of the small band of first responders who kept the flood from becoming a slaughter.
As the tide lifted beach homes off their foundations and started a terrifying fire that devoured more than 100 buildings, he was among the rescuers who tried to contain the inferno and hauled boats through the streets to carry residents to higher ground. Dozens of people were literally dragged to safety clinging to the sides of fire trucks.
Only when it was over did he have a chance to tally his personal losses. His own apartment house in the Rockaways had been severely damaged in the flood. His parents' home was inundated, too. So was his mother-in-law's.
"It's heartbreaking," he said. "We all grew up down here."
Superstorm Sandy devastated people of every walk of life, but it has upended things in a unique way for first responders. Many are spending their working hours helping a battered city get back on its feet, only to return home to find destruction as bad as any in the city.
The NYPD says an estimated 1,300 officers suffered a "catastrophic" loss during the storm. And the Fire Department says 500 firefighters have registered their homes as damaged or destroyed. That figure doesn't include people who lost vehicles or were displaced from homes still without power.
"This whole community is devastated, but they've still got to go to work," said Roy Richter, president of the Captains Endowment Association, an NYPD union. "Give your wife and children a blanket and a candle, and say, `I'll see you in 12 to 16 hours."
For generations, police officers and firefighters heading home exhausted at the end of their shifts have found tranquillity in Breezy Point, which sits in sandy, wind-swept isolation at the tip of the Rockaway peninsula that protects parts of New York City from the Atlantic surf.
Here, the barrier peninsula is less than 1,100 yards wide in some spots from sea to bay. There is only one road in and out. Many houses sit on sandy walkways, rather than paved streets. Homes are bunched so closely, they nearly touch. Everyone knows everyone.
It would be an exaggeration to say everyone there has a badge or bunker gear, but not by much. Only about 5,000 people live in the community, yet it has three volunteer fire departments and lost 32 residents in the Sept. 11 attacks.
When the storm came, it rendered this community of bravest and finest nearly helpless.
The sea washed over the entire peninsula. Strong winds fueled the fire like a blowtorch, hurling baseball-size embers block after block, setting roofs ablaze, while chin-high floodwaters kept the FDNY from bringing in reinforcements.
Many of the neighborhood's residents had ignored the evacuation order and were home when the fire and water came. Yet somehow, no one died.
"I did two tours of combat duty in Iraq, but this was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen," said Jimmy Coan, a captain in the NYPD's aviation unit. He spent the night in a diver's dry suit, sloshing door to door in waist-deep water.

The Unicorn
The Unicorn never really plays much of a role in Irish lore – sorry.
As for the song…….
The song THE UNICORN was written by Shel Silverstein, a nice kid from New York that, as far as we know, had never been to Ireland prior to his death a few years ago.
Shel was creative, prolific and wrote many successful and excellent movies, songs and childern's books. He was the author of other dandy tunes as well such as: Sombody Stole My Rib, and A Boy Named Sue.
The Unicorn was recorded by the Irish Rovers in 1971 and was a hit for a short time. This is probably the connection to the Irish.
Don't get the wrong idea – we like the tune and it's choreography and it is played often at the Mill. For those who have never seen the choreography, think of it as the Irish Chicken Dance.
The moves are complicated (when performed later in the evening :-) but you will pick up on them in time, so jump right in. We are in the process of locating a skematic of the moves so we can include it here but so far no luck. So in the mean time get out there and just do it!

The vast majority of pizza I sample comes from restaurants with "pizza" or "pizzeria" in the name. And, in spite of their various unique features and styles of pizza, most of those places are more alike than they are different. For this review, I followed the suggestion of blog reader "Marcus" and headed over to Marcellus for something very different: Daniel's Grill. It's not a pizza resturant, not even an Italian restaurant, just excellent fine dining with surprisingly modest prices.
The menu lists a Margherita pizza for $8.99, and "make your own," also $8.99 for up to four toppings, and your choice of sauce and cheese. I stayed pretty mainstream with my choice: marinara sauce with fresh mozzarella, topped with pepperoni, sausage, onions and roasted red peppers. It was delivered in under 15 minutes, on a 10 inch plate.
It was tough to get good pictures with dim lighting above, and fading sunlight coming in a window. I did get daring and use the flash a couple of times. With the dim lighting, I couldn't really discern much about the color of the crust, but the pictures do seem to show that it was rather yellow. It didn't taste like a "traditional" pizza crust. There was somewhat less chewiness, and a finer "crumb," if that's the right word. My guess is that another kind of flour is mixed with wheat flour, and it is also possible that a little bit of milk and/or butter was used. I could be way off base, and if I am, I hope someone from the restaurant will eventually see this and post a comment to correct me. Crust thickness ran from about 1/4″ to 1/2″.
The sauce had good fresh tomato taste, but was not heavily seasoned and stayed mostly in the background. With four toppings, each with their own distinct and strong flavor, it was difficult to judge much more than that about the sauce. Cheese (fresh mozzarella) was wonderful, melted perfectly and not burned.
These were toppings with rather strong flavor. The pepperoni was larger than usual, with a pleasant spiciness and crisp edge from the oven. The sausage was in the form of crumbled bits that were perfectly cooked and moderately spiced. Onions were apparently sauteed enough that they, along with the roasted red peppers, imparted a rather sweet, caramelized component to the blend of flavors. Even though I ordered fresh mozzarella, there was a little bit of shredded parmesan on top, along with small bits of what was either fresh basil or parsley.
As I sat there eating the pizza, it occurred to me that it would be difficult to compare this to pizza from typical pizza restaurants. It was really in a different league, a different type of pizza experience. It was the vision and design of an experienced chef, and it seems almost an insult to rate it on the same scale, with the same criteria as other pizza. It had a wonderfully complex and satisfying blend of flavors, was served very hot and fresh, and I highly recommend it. For the sake of assigning a number, I'll take into consideration the somewhat unusual crust, and rate it 4.5 out of 5 slices.
Summary – Pros: pretty much everything. Cons: none really.

10 Ways to Make Life Easier for the Service Industry
An actionable list of the simple ways you can go beyond the tip, because service workers deserve far more respect than they receive
By James Walsh
On Laundry:
Leave all the dirty towels in the tub. According to a housekeeper at a five-star hotel in Boston, it helps when all the work is in one place. In housekeeping, as in stock trading and all-you-can-eat buffets, efficiency is king. Housekeepers' jobs are physically taxing. At least one study shows that they are twice as likely to have back problems than the average American. Those obnoxiously comfortable mattresses are heavy.

Focus: molecular pharmacology of drug addiction and psychiatric disorders
Dr. Janowsky has created a unique environment for exchange between basic and clinical scientists under the MARC,
where discoveries in animal research can be applied to development of human therapy and discoveries from work
in the clinics can be explored with more rigor in the controlled animal models.
Dr. Janowsky's own work focuses on how drugs of abuse impact the release and recycling of dopamine,
a neurotransmitter that is the key neurochemical signaling reward in the brain. Drugs like methamphetamine
disrupt the normal pattern of dopamine's release, leading to the addictive behavior of seeking more drugs.
Drugs of abuse, and especially methamphetamine, are a major concern for Veterans'
Administration hospitals because many veterans who exhibit post-traumatic stress syndrome also have drug addictions.
Focus: Genetic and neurochemical investigations of risk factors for methamphetamine and alcohol addiction.
Our genetic studies have the potential to identify mechanisms that influence behaviors associated with drug-seeking
as well as behaviors that reflect changes (adaptations) in the brain due to chronic drug use. Our ultimate goal is to identify
pharmacological interventions to treat and prevent addiction. In addition, our genetic research might allow clinicians in
the future to provide genetic counseling to high-risk individuals. We have as a key goal the transfer of information between
non-human and human species to provide the most rigorous analyses.
Contact for information on Center activities: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Focus: Functional properties of suprachiasmic nucleus (SCN) neurons, circadian clock regulation, drugs of abuse and non-photic entrainment
The long-term goal of our research is to understand the functional properties of SCN neurons and how the circadian clock regulates these properties. To reach this goal we are pursuing four lines of research: cellular electrophysiology of the suprachiasmatic nucleus;
regulation of retinal input to the SCN;
role of intracellular Ca2+ as a signaling molecule in the circadian system; and characterization of the retinal ganglion cells projecting to the SCN.
Focus: Genetics of sensitivity to drugs of abuse
The Belknap lab uses a wide range of genetic mouse models including inbred strains, intercrosses, selectively-bred lines, knockouts, congenics and ENU mutagen screens to study the genetics of sensitivity to drugs of abuse. One goal is to detect and map to specific chromosomal regions the genes (polygenes) influencing these traits; another goal is to determine the multiple drugs influenced by these quantitative trait loci and how they interact with other genes (gene-gene interactions) throughout the genome.
Focus: Development and use of genetic mouse models to study sensitivity to drugs of abuse.
Dr. Crabbe directs the Animal Core in its efforts to breed mice that are sensitive or resistant
to specific effects of methamphetamine. MARC investigators in the research components then will be able
to use these specific mouse models to map genes affecting impulsivity and methamphetamine's rewarding effects.
Focus: Behavioral assessment of the rewarding and aversive effects of abused drugs.
Dr. Cunningham's lab uses rodent models (rats and mice) to examine the genetic mechanisms, brain systems
and behavioral determinants of drug-seeking, drug-taking and relapse.
Focus: Behavioral processes underlying self-administration, reinforcement, reinstatement, and discrimination of abused drugs in rodents.
During his initial year of MARC pilot funding, Dr. Ford investigated the feasibility of using muscarinic and nicotinic receptor compounds to interfere with the discriminative stimulus effects of methamphetamine (MA) in mice. Promising compounds identified in this earlier work are now being further explored within an oral MA self-administration procedure during a second year of pilot funding. By exploring a combination of MA consumption and discrimination procedures, the involvement of M1 and a4ß2-containing receptor mechanisms in the propensity to seek and consume MA can be assessed, and subsequently manipulated to provide more effective treatment options for MA abusers.
David Grandy, Ph.D.
Professor, Physiology and Pharmacology
Focus: structure, function and expression of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
Our current efforts are focused on receptors activated by either dopamine or opiates.
Dopamine's effects are mediated by a family of receptors encoded by five genes. We are using molecular and genetic techniques, including the generation of transgenic animals, in an effort to understand the roles that each of these receptors play in a variety of behaviors.
Autoimmune diseases are caused by an immune response to cells or organs of the body. We are developing reagents that specifically modify the immune response against the CNS as occurs in Multiple Sclerosis. Using a mouse model of this disease, we have developed peptide reagents that can block the onset of this experimentally induced disease and can also prevent the relapsing phase of this disease as it develops in this animal model. Presently, we are developing additional reagents to modify the course of disease and prevent its relapsing stage as well as to understand the effectiveness of the immunoregulation that is established.
Focus: Behavioral genetics, drug abuse, neuroimaging, psychopharmacology
The goal of our research is to understand how genes regulate complex behaviors, particularly complex drug-induced behaviors. The behaviors of interest include the stimulant response to ethanol, haloperidol-induced catalepsy, exploratory behavior, acoustic startle and prepulse inhibition. The genetic dimensions of these behaviors can be studied in laboratory animals (generally mice) using classical genetic techniques such as selective breeding and recombinant inbred strategies. Molecular genetic strategies can then be used to map the relevant gene loci and eventually isolate the relevant genes.
Focus: Effects of methamphetamine on cognition and decision-making
Dr. Hoffman's research group studies recovery from the effects of methamphetamine on decision-making using functional MRI.
Better understanding of the time-course of changes in brain function during early abstinence from methamphetamine will help clinicians individualize treatment
and improve chances for success.
Focus: Neuroimmunological mechanisms contributing to cognitive, psychiatric, and substance use disorders
Dr. Huckans' translational research program integrates human, animal, and in vitro experiments to examine how neuroimmune factors contribute to the neuropsychiatric effects of medical, psychiatric, and substance use disorders. Currently, she has VA and NIH funded projects that utilize neuropsychological assessment, neuroimaging, and immunological techniques to study the cognitive and psychiatric effects of methamphetamine dependence, hepatitis C, and traumatic brain injury.
Focus: Associative learning theory; neurobiological basis of learning and memory
My research examines basic learning processes at associative and neurobiological levels of analysis. I am particularly interested in the mechanisms that occur during initial acquisition, in which new relations are established between previously unrelated events, and extinction, which occurs as those relations established during acquisition are severed.
Focus: Neuroimmunological mechanisms contributing to substance abuse, cognitive impairment and depression
Dr. Loftis's translational research program uses rodents and humans to characterize the inflammatory pathways contributing to cognitive dysfunction and depressogenesis, particularly in patients with a history of substance abuse and hepatitis C. It is hypothesized that circulating inflammatory cytokines act on central nervous system (CNS) cytokine receptors, which in turn stimulate the production of inflammatory mediators (e.g., other proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide) in specific brain regions, thus contributing to cognitive impairments and alterations in mood.
Focus: Public-health aspects of substance-abuse research
Through collaboration with colleagues at OHSU, policy makers in state and local government, and practitioners in community treatment programs, Dr. McCarty seeks to increase support for the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse, improve the quality of treatment services, and link policy, practice and research.
Focus: Epidemiology, biostatistics related to mental health services
Dr. McFarland directs a program of health-services research addressing the impact of managed care on delivery of behavioral health treatments and outcomes. His research encompasses the pharmacoeconomics and pharmacoepidemiology of psychotropic medications.
Focus: Relationship between drug use and both impulsive behavior and risk-taking
Dr. Mitchell's lab uses human and nonhuman subjects to examine whether impulsive
decision-making and risk-taking precedes initiation of drug use, whether neuroadaptations
to drug use impact the propensity to behave impulsively, and whether levels of impulsivity
interact with the ability of individuals to cease drug use.
Focus: Characterization of dopamine receptors
We study how drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia
bind to dopamine receptors, and what the functional consequences of that
binding are, using cultured cells, neurons, and rat brain tissue.
Focus: Effects of genetic and environmental factors on brain function in mouse models of
neurological diseases.
Using experimental mouse models of human neurological diseases, we analyze brain function,
dissect mechanisms underlying cognitive impairments, and develop tests and treatment strategies
to improve brain function in humans suffering from these diseases. Routinely, we use a
combination of behavioral, neuroendocrinological, pharmacological, neurochemical,
immunohistochemical, cellular, and molecular approaches.
Dr. Rieckmann's work focuses on the implementation, adaptation and clinical evaluation of evidence-based practice in substance abuse treatment. It includes an emphasis on diverse populations, translational research and improving the quality of care through increased access, effectiveness, retention and systems-wide change designed to improve services.
Focus: Neural substrates and molecular mechanisms of drugs of abuse
Dr. Ryabinin's MARC pilot project investigates the role of the corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) peptide system in methamphetamine sensitization and addiction. He also collaborates on Gregory Mark's component using rodent models to identify
brain regions that change activity after self-administration of methamphetamine.

Calmed my stomach

This stuff is amazing! For details, keep reading! I knew I had some problems with my digestion (especially proteins). However when using HCl digestion aids, I got burning sensation in my stomach even with low doses. This of course can possibly mean that I don't have too low stomach acid. However, my nutritionist asked me to still try if my stomach was irritated for some reason and asked me to take 1 month worth of Zinlori. After using Zinlori for 1 month, I tried the HCl test again. As a surprise to myself, I could easily digest maximum allowed dose of HCl without getting any burning sensation. With Zinlori calming down my upset stomach, I was now able to use HCl to support my digestion and help me towards my mission of normalizing my stomach function. After using HCl for several weeks, I'm now convinced that I (still) have too low stomach acid: it feels like the food "melts" away right after I eat, I have less crawings for sweets and coffee, and my stomach and bowel function is much much more smooth and predictable. Without using Zinlori, I would have concluded that my stomach acid was high enough, thinking I didn't have a problem in first place!
Great stuff

Zinlori has been a major life saver for me. It really helps with my stomach upset (chronic atrophic gastritis) in just few days and relief of my extreme discomfort symptoms fast! I hope it helps heal me in time. I do not have H. Pylori or ulcer. I do take this along with Mastic Gum by Allergy Research, DGL by Natural Factors & N-Acetyl Cysteine by Source Naturals. Will continue using Zinlori!
Highly recommended product:)

Your Life, Your Health: Women and heart disease
When you think of someone suffering a heart attack you may envision the person grabbing their chest or having shooting pains in their arm. But in women, heart issues can reveal themselves through very different symptoms. And often, because of this women can be misdiagnosed sometimes even by their physician.
According to the American Heart Association, in the last 30 years more women have died of heart disease and stroke than men, a gap continuing to widen. Currently the number one killer of women, pushing women to be proactive when it comes to heart health is a big part of the Go Red for Women campaign. National Wear Red Day is this Friday, February 7th.
A great example of quick response can be found in Thelma Hill of Guilderland. A worker at the Empire State Plaza, she knew something was wrong when her daily walk up and down the concourse left her out of breath one day in November.
I walk the concourse every day with a friend of mine. She asked me what was wrong and I said I dont feel right. I dont know what it is but I dont feel right.
Hill has lived with a heart condition for years and because of this, knew to take these abnormal symptoms seriously. When the feeling returned the next day, Hill visited her cardiologist. She didnt suffer a heart attack, but an EKG and stress test revealed an irregular heartbeat. Hill had a cardioversion to put her heart back into a normal rhythm.
The doctor told me I was very fortunate. Hill says. A lot of people dont pay attention. They dont respond the way I did.
Womens symptoms of a heart condition can vary in comparison to men. Its not always the elephant sitting on your chest sensation. Signals of a problem can manifest as indigestion, anxiety, or in Thelmas case fatigue and shortness of breath.
Go to the doctor and get an annual checkup. Hill advises other women. You may not necessarily like what you find but knowing it half the battle. You cant do anything if you dont know there is a problem.

Surf Report Mid Coast SAby Peter Mariner

Today's rating
Winds are just a puff from the East and conditions are clean on the Mid Coast early, but pretty small. There are occasional 1' waves on the reefs, but it's still pretty full with the high tide, and only the normally shallow reefs are breaking. A few spots may improve slightly as the tide drops, and the beachies will start to break heading toward low tide at 11:45. Around the same time a Southerly wind change will arrive as a trough passes over SA, and it'll be a bit bumpy for the arvo. A late sou-easter will smooth it off again in the evening.

12 Movies to Watch After You've Seen 'Forrest Gump'Features By Christopher Campbell on September 7, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
This weekend, Paramount Pictures re-released their 1994 Best Picture winner, Forrest Gump, on IMAX screens. It wasn't a huge deal, hitting far fewer theaters than the Ghostbusters re-release also going on right now, and only took in an extra $405k to add to its $678m worldwide gross of 20 years ago. Maybe you went to see it on the giant screen for the first time. Or maybe you skipped this return to theaters because you've seen in a billion times already. Forrest Gump was, after all, the highest-grossing of its year, is one of the top 25 highest-grossing movies of all time when accounting for inflation and has gone gone on to be one of the most iconic and quotable of the past few decades, inspiring plenty of parodies and recently being selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. Not bad for a movie that only seemed to be a groundbreaking work of drama and special effects. Of course, it also distinguishes itself with epic storytelling, much of it based in nostalgia, and a lovable performance from Tom Hanks. Hopefully it has influenced fans to seek out the actual histories and precursors, but if not I have a list of recommendations of at least the movies that came before as well as some of the TV appearances and archival clips that Forrest was digitally inserted into for some retconned events from the past. I've chosen not to include similar movies that have come out since the […]

Yet Another 'Back to the Future' Documentary Is Coming, This One About the Tech of 2015Fund This Film By Christopher Campbell on April 14, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Pretty soon, there'll be a whole genre of documentaries just about or related to Back to the Future. Among the fandom-based projects that show up on crowdfunding sites, Robert Zemeckis's time travel trilogy seems to be tied to the most. There are the successfully Kickstarter-funded DeLorean-focused films Back in Time and DeLorean: Living the Dream, and there are the less successful, such as the Indiegogo-hosted The Time Machinists. I'm sure I've spotted more out there, and yet we haven't seen any show up as finished and released yet. Maybe they're all waiting for 2015? The latest, titled Back to the Future Again,is also aiming for next year, specifically because it's about the technology "promised" for 2015 by Back to the Future Part II. This one is on Kickstarter with a goal of £403,160 ($675,365.73), which is the highest amount for this lot. More than half of that budget, though, goes directly to licensing clips and music from the movie in order to properly illustrate their comparison of what 2015 is supposed to look like, based on the movie's estimation, and what it actually looks like. The rest goes toward making the doc itself, which will explore how far off we are from BTTF2's technology. When will we have flying cars and and self-lacing sneakers and hoverboards and hydrators, etc.? Back to the Future Again will also tackle the culture of the movie's 2015, too, by talking to fashion designers about not just the science behind Marty Jr.'s footwear and clothes but also […]
Could You Travel Through Time Like They Do in Movies?Features By Kevin Carr on March 5, 2014 | Comments (5)
Time travel stories are one of the most polarizing things for film fans. They either love them, or they turn their noses up at them. Still, that doesn't stop writers from coming up with them, and it's not even for the science fiction fields. Time travel stories have an unexpectedly strong placement in romance fiction as well, such as The Time Traveler's Wife or the upcoming Starz series Outlander, based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling historical romance series. While many of these romance-driven stories – like Somewhere in Time and more recently Richard Curtis's About Time – are not concerned with the greater implications of meddling with the space-time continuum, the science fiction movies are. Traveling through time has been a central figure in stories for years, often presenting the viewer with a crash course in theoretical physics and opening themselves up to plot holes almost impossible to close. As a personal fan of the time traveling story, I love to see what the writers will come up with next. But these movies always get me wondering… is it possible to travel through time the way people do in the movies?
6 Fake Movie Bands That Felt So Real You Bought Their CDAural Fixation By Allison Loring on February 14, 2014 | Comments (10)
In the wake of the untimely passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman, we here at FSR were asked to think of our favorite Hoffman performance. I immediately thought of his portrayal of rock journalist Lester Bangs in Almost Famous which got me thinking about the band Stillwater which William (Patrick Fugit) ends up following on tour. Stillwater is a fictional band created for Almost Famous, but they feel like anything but fiction, instead coming across as a real band just starting to climb the charts, easily existing alongside The Who and Black Sabbath (the band they opened for in the film). So what was it about Stillwater that made them feel like a real life band and not one simply created to help drive the story?
'Back to the Future' the Musical Heading to London's West End, MartyMovie News By Samantha Wilson on January 31, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
For those who are fans of the seminal 1985 time travel spectacular Back to the Future, but maybe thought it needed more singing and dancing, today's your lucky day. Bob Gale, the screenwriter who brought all three films of the Future trilogy to the screen, has announced that he, along with Robert Zemeckis, is bringing a Back to the Future Musical to London's West End Theater. In the announcement, posted on BTTF.com, Gale said that he and Zemeckis have been working on the musical for over a decade, and have created a show that "captures the spirit of the film without being a slavish remake." You will give us an Enchantment Under the Sea dance break, Gale. You will give it to us now.
How Accurate is the Future in 'Back to the Future: Part II'?Features By Kevin Carr on January 15, 2014 | Comments (3)
Contrary to what a dozen or so faulty Facebook memes say, we have not reached the day that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) travel to in Back to the Future: Part II. That won't happen until next year, on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, to be exact. However, as we look ahead to that day in all of its post-Avengers 2 and pre-Star Wars 7 glory, we can assess what still needs to happen for the 2015 of 1989 to become a reality. Obviously we don't have hoverboards or Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactors in every kitchen, but revisiting the classic Back to the Future series got me thinking: Is any of the stuff we saw happening yet?
The Long, Troubled Future History of 'Back to the Future Part IV'Features By The Bitter Script Reader on November 12, 2013 | Comments (4)
I was minding my own business while taking a walk through my neighborhood when suddenly three booms announced the appearance of a Delorean that I could have sworn wasn't there before. The gull-wing doors extended up as a harried Bob Gale, screenwriter of the Back to the Future trilogy, stepped out. "You've gotta come back with me!" he implored. "Where?" I asked, attempting to ignore for the moment the rare sight of a Delorean. "Back to the future," he said. "Something's gotta be done about the sequel!" Before I knew it I was traveling with him to several years in the future… to learn the history of an impending catastrophe.
Why We Love 'Back to the Future'Features By Kevin Carr on November 12, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
All this week, Film School Rejects presents a daily dose of our favorite articles from the archive. Originally published in August 2011, Kevin Carr celebrates a Movie We Love, Back to the Future. Fitting, as today is November 12, the 58th anniversary of the famous Hill Valley Thunderstorm… Marty McFly is just your typical high school kid who has his own rock band, rides a skateboard to school every day and wants to make out with his girlfriend in his own car on the weekend. He also has a inexplicably close relationship with zany Doc Brown down the road, but that's all okay because that guy has just invented a time machine out of a sports car. After the terrorists that gave Doc Brown the plutonium to get the time machine working come after them with big guns, Marty travels back to 1955 where he meets his parents, accidentally stops them from falling in love and must find a way to get them back together before he disappears from existence.
The 14 Most Insane Ways Movie Characters' Lives Changed OvernightCinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on November 7, 2013 | Comments (1)

Movie House of Worship: Los Angeles' Aero TheaterFeatures By Allison Loring on September 22, 2013 | Comments (1)
"Movie Houses of Worship" is a regular feature spotlighting our favorite movie theaters around the world, those that are like temples of cinema catering to the most religious-like film geeks. This week, FSR's Allison Loring chose one of her favorite theaters in Los Angeles. If you'd like to suggest or submit a place you regularly worship at the altar of cinema, please email our weekend editor. Aero Theater Location: 1328 Montana Avenue, Santa Monica, CA Opened: Originally opened in 1939 as a 24-hour theater for aircraft workers, but closed in 2003 after Robert Redford's Sundance Cinemas project (which was going to take over ownership of the theater) fell through because General Cinemas (which was being sold to AMC) went bankrupt. The Aero is now officially known as the "Max Palevsky Aero Theater" thanks to Palevsky's funding for the American Cinematheque's refurbishment of the theater which re-opened in January 2005.

The 14 Most Destructive Mad Scientists In Modern CinemaCinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on August 15, 2013 | Comments (3)
Crazy science is so embedded in movie-making that it's been with us since the very conception of film with such classics as Frankenstein and Dr. Caligari. While the best stuff was almost exclusively from the time of black and white – the 1980s and beyond have seen their formidable share of folks with PhDs in crazy. See for yourself…a lot of mad doctorates have been handed out recently.
Fund This Film: 'Back to the Future' and DeLorean Fandom Doc 'Back In Time'Features By Christopher Campbell on June 29, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
Documentaries on specific circles of fandom are nothing new. Ever since the 1997 film Trekkies hit big at art house cinemas (and maybe before that in the UK with Dalekmania), we've been treated to similar looks at followers of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, My Little Pony, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Alien, Firefly/Serenity, The Big Lebowski, John Hughes and the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres in general. And that's just the movie and TV obsessions (we can go back further for, say, heavy metal fans interviewed in parking lots). The fandom doc subgenre will only be growing now thanks to crowdfunding, because there's seemingly no easier kind of project to appeal to a large niche crowd than something about a subject that appeals to a large niche crowd. It's the same reason two of the most successful campaigns we've highlighted here are those involving Superman and Batman. Next in line for such a documentary is the fanbase for Back to the Future. While not as well known or unified a devotion as those to Star Trek and some of the other properties that have gotten the treatment in the past, BTTF fandom is still quite big. There have been conventions and obsessive websites and demand for replicas of props like the self-lacing sneakers and hoverboards and flux capacitors. The biggest collector's item for any BTTF fan, though, is a DeLorean, whether one actually used in the movie or just simply one of the rare originals from the short-lived […]
The 10 Silliest Ways Movie Characters Have Been ResurrectedCinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on April 4, 2013 | Comments (25)
Because Jesus. Also, The Walking Dead hit its season finale on the same day everyone celebrated the most famous resurrection, so it seemed like the right subject for this week's list. Everyone loves a good underdog story, and there's no bigger obstacle to overcome than death, right? Coming back from the dead is a hell of a trick, and while there's the usual reasons like a witch doctor or vampirism or converting into some kind of stupid blue ghost, sometimes an idea will come along that stands out from the norm – mostly because it's a little silly in concept. That isn't to say it's bad. No, it's just… not very profound. For example:
The 10 Craziest Movie Moments To Ever Go Down At A Shopping MallCinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on November 21, 2012 | Comments (3)
Exactly one billion years ago today, a group of settlers had an early dinner with the Wampanoag Native American tribe before playing an unsettling game of touch football in their back yard. They then went to the local merchant to stand in line for many hours in hopes of purchasing an item for slightly less than what it will cost the following day, thus completely justifying the enormous emotional distress of doing so. Today we honor this tradition by having a dinner with friends and family to celebrate the unification of mankind before going to the mall and doing the exact opposite of that. But hey, it could be weirder. For example, the following:
Like Robert Zemeckis? Live Near Phoenix? Attend a Free 'Back to the Future' Screening Tonight and Win 'Flight' Swag!Movie News By Rob Hunter on October 25, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
Robert Zemeckis' long awaited return to live action filmmaking hits theaters soon, and in celebration of the fact Harkins Theaters hosted an online poll to find the director's most popular movie. There was apparently a glitch of some kind… how else can you explain the fact that Used Cars didn't win in a landslide? Instead the utterly fantastic and timeless Back to the Future was chosen, and tonight, the Harkins Valley Art theater in Tempe AZ is featuring a free screening of the Michael J. Fox comedy classic. The film will be presented via a pristine digital print, and the screening will be followed by a discussion of Zemeckis' career alongside giveaways of Flight-related merchandise and swag. Check out the complete details below, and if you go make sure to get there early!
The Cynic's Oscars: Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard for Most Original ScreenplayAcademy Awards By Christopher Campbell on October 21, 2012 | Comments (6)
"In a perfect world, 'The Cabin in the Woods' would be a lock for a Best Original Screenplay nomination." – Joey Magidson, The Awards Circuit It must be frustrating to write for an awards blog (aka an Oscar blog, since the Academy Awards are always the main focus of these sites), and know that the best films of the year are not necessarily the ones that will be nominated. Magidson's comment above, from his April review of The Cabin in the Woods, sort of sums that up. But at the same time I don't know if the movie truly deserves the statement. Something to consider, semantically speaking, is that the Academy's award is not for "Most Original Screenplay" but "Best Original Screenplay." This isn't to say that the script, by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, isn't well-written, and you're welcome to argue its case for a nomination. Is it the best-written original screenplay of the year, though? All my time as a movie lover and watcher of the Oscars, including the past few years of hate-watching, the original screenplay category is one I've constantly been excited about. It's the place where you could find some of the more clever and creative efforts, including a number of films that might not get other nominations. You could find a good number of interesting foreign films outside of the foreign-language award ghetto (such as Bunuel's two nominations for writing), as well as an interesting showing of mainstream and blockbuster fare, especially in the […]

10 Best Fresh Hop Beers
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- In the green, far-flung corners of the beer world, this is one of the most wonderful times of the year: fresh hops season.
There are drinkers who equate this time of year with the nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger of pumpkin ales and others who raise a stein of milder Oktoberfest brews. But there's an entire corner of the beer universe that -- for a handful of weeks in late summer and early fall -- is either rushing between farms and backyard trellises to pick as many fresh hops as they can, rushing those hops straight into kettles to brew floral, sweet beers or rushing around to local breweries to drink those brews before their flavor dissipates or they disappear completely. They're not as bitter as a typical hoppy beer and, hovering around 5% alcohol by volume, aren't nearly as potent.
Though brewers and beer fans in hop-growing regions such as the Pacific Northwest usually benefit most from the hop harvest season and big brewers get left out of the game altogether, the logistical wonder of modern commercial delivery has made it possible for even remote breweries to get in on the action. The fresh hops being used by brewers at the Craft Brewers Alliance's Widmer Brewing facility in Portland bear a distinct resemblance to those being flown in by brewers on the Atlantic.
After taking a few long, hard whiffs and sips of some of the best fresh hop brews the season has to offer, we've put together a list of 10 great fresh hop brews to get ahold of while the season lasts:Harvest Ale
Sierra Nevada Brewing, Chico, Calif. According to brewing lore, this is where the fresh hop push all began. Back in 1996, Sierra Nevada introduced its first "fresh-hop" or "wet hop" Harvest ale. That was followed by years of semantic arguments about whether a "fresh hop" could ever be a "wet hop" if the harvesting process dries it or if that wetness even makes a difference if the fresh oils and resins remain regardless. It was also followed by years of great beer. The 6.7% ABV Harvest Ale is still made with fresh Cascade and Centennial hops from Eastern Washington, but it's now just one in a fresh hop series. Sierra Nevada also produces a Southern Hemisphere fresh-hop Harvest ale with Halertau, Motueka and Southern Cross hops flown in from New Zealand and Estate Ale with organic hops grown at Sierra's own facilities in California's North Valley. That's just spreading the fresh-hop love, baby.

What's the Worst Unaired Joke Made by The Situation at the Trump Roast?
The Situation turned Comedy Central's Donald Trump roast into a summit of horrified reaction shots, but TMZ has several more of his jokes that were cut from the broadcast, and nothing beats this one for sheer terribleness: "I'm not from New Jersey ... I was born in Staten Island which is a New York borough ... not to be confused with the burro Marlee Matlin blows onstage in Tijuana. [Off the audience reaction.] Relax, she didn't even hear it ... I mean hey, at least her mouth is good for something, right?" Just so good at jokes, this guy. [TMZ]
