A View of ROOM

No, I haven't read it. I haven't even HEARD of it, which I guess shows how old fashioned and non-progressive I am. :)
I don't usually read "must read" books because they are invariably badly written and boring.

So there's this thing that happens every so often in the world of for-want-of-a-better-word litfic, where an author who wouldn't be caught dead with a copy of The Martian Chronicles gets this Flash of Insight, and goes "Wait! What if, in The Future, everyone had computers in their heads? OMG BRILLIANT!" and SF is in the back of the room with its hand up, going "Hel-LO, we covered this THIRTY YEARS AGO JEEZUS."
I haven't read ROOM, but it sounds like maybe something not-unlike happened here. Except the ghettoized genre with its hand in the air might be Horror. (I dunno for sure, since this isn't much the kind of horror I read long-form. But I can totally see, frex, Kathe Koja or Brian Hodge taking this concept and not making a complete hash of it. Or someone like Graham Masterton or John Shirley, I suppose, except then there'd be some horrible monster waiting in the middle of it and the walls would be painted red by the end of the second act. Which from the sound of it might have been a much-improved book.)

'We have to make some noise'Comment on this story
Madrid - Hundreds of thousands of Spaniards marched against the centre-right government's latest austerity measures on Thursday evening, following more than a week of demonstrations across the country.
Parliament on Thursday approved a package of 65-billion euros of spending cuts and tax hikes as part of measures to avert a full European bail-out, bringing more hardship in a severe economic downturn.
Demonstrators took to the streets in towns and cities across Spain, thronging the thoroughfares of Madrid and Barcelona, waving flags and bearing banners decorated with scissors to symbolise spending cuts.
In Madrid, crowds of firemen wearing helmets and T-shirts with the slogan "Firemen in danger of extinction" blew horns and let off firecrackers. Earlier, policemen and members of the Civil Guard joined the protests.
"We have lived through bad times, but this takes the biscuit," said 58-year-old fireman Francisco Vaquero.
The sight of demonstrators on Spain's streets is nothing new. Young "Indignados" (Indignants) protested in their thousands against unemployment last year. One in four Spaniards is without work.
But since Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced spending cuts and tax rises last week there have been daily demonstrations drawing protests from public service workers like police that have previously stayed away.
Civil servants, whose pay was cut by up to seven percent when their Christmas bonus was cancelled, have used their coffee breaks this week to protest outside the ruling People's Party (PP) headquarters in Madrid.
"We have to make some noise, because they're making fun of us and of all working people," said Iria, 34, an auditor in the treasury, during a rally outside the PP building on Wednesday.
Public workers up to now had accepted several cuts or freezes in their salaries over the last three years with a sense of resignation. But the latest round of belt-tightening has spurred widespread anger.
"It has gone beyond an ideological issue... and it's moved beyond the traditional groups that demonstrate. We have seen even the military threatening a demonstration," said Ramon Pacheco, a lecturer in Spanish politics at Kings College London.
Rajoy announced the cuts as thousands of miners and supporters, some of whom had marched hundreds of kilometres from northern Spain to protest against a reduction in coal subsidies, staged a rally that ended with police firing rubber bullets and making arrests.
Civil servants poured out of their offices to block Madrid's main arteries following Rajoy's announcement and have protested every day since, organising action through emails and by co-ordinating at work without any clear leaders.
On Friday, the Indignados turned out in support of the civil servants, a sign that disparate groups with different complaints are uniting in a common cause. That protest ended with scuffles between police and protesters in Madrid's Puerta del Sol, the centre of last year's protest movement.
Messages on social networks like Twitter and mobile messaging service WhatsApp call for impromptu demonstrations that attract hundreds of people in various cities every day.
One message doing the rounds urges citizens to gather in the main squares of their cities on July 27 and says: "The Spanish people are sick of all politicians. Let's make history!"
The cabinet on Thursday approved a parliamentary motion categorising "urban violence" as a specific crime, which could empower police to detain suspects preventively before being charged with the offence.
The party has more than three years of its term left, but analysts warn that if the crisis continues to escalate, Rajoy will be threatened.
"It's difficult to make predictions, but it's more than likely that this government term could come to an end sooner than expected," said Fermin Bouza, a sociologist at Madrid's Complutense University. - Reuters

West Seattle Christmas lights: You're never too old …December 14, 2011 at 9:39 pm | In Holidays, West Seattle Christmas lights, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
… to put up Christmas lights. The tipster for this one – TJ, who also shared the photo (thank you!) – says "Brother-in-law is still just a kid at heart. He is 72 and climbs up to the roof to put his lights up." 7900 block of 32nd SW. Makes us feel guilty for feeling like we exerted ourselves to throw a few strands on the shrubbery! Thanks to everyone who's been sending tips, with and without photos – firstname.lastname@example.com – meantime, we've added the address to our updated-daily clickable/printable Christmas lights map (find it here, or on the West Seattle Holidays page).

I think you are living in the past if you think that 72 is "old". I am surprised that you are surprised that a 72 year old man would be able to put lights on his roof.
Comment by orca — 7:57 am December 15, 2011 #
Orca, the quote is from the lights' owner's brother-in-law, as noted. I can't speak to whether he's living in the past or the future or the moment. I'm past the half-century mark myself and I don't think ANYBODY's old. Just thought it was cute that the sender summarized it that way. Sorry to offend. – TR
Love that you are sharing all the Christmas lights! Thank you! So pretty! :-)

Loving these pictures Tracy, thank you for sharing!

Beautiful lights! It just goes to show Christmas brings out the kid in all of us. Thanks for sharing! It is always nice to find new houses to show the kids :)
Ps: Orca and WSB, the quote never says old. Just saying. Merry Christmas!

Donations to charity honor late Issaquah girl
August 2, 2011
By Staff
Rachel Beckwith, a 9-year-old Issaquah girl, continues to inspire people around the globe.
In the days after Rachel died July 23 from injuries sustained in a Bellevue crash, donations to a charity she championed surpassed $700,000 from more than 20,000 people.
Inspired by a church fundraiser, Rachel asked in June, in lieu of birthday gifts, for donations to Charity:Water, a New York-based nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing clean drinking water to people in developing nations. So far, the charity estimates almost 4,000 projects have provided clean water to more than 1.7 million people in 19 countries.
Charity:Water estimates each dollar invested in improved water access and sanitation yields, on average, $12 in economic returns.
How to help
Rachel's $300 came up short, but in the days after the July 20 crash, leaders at EastLake Community Church asked Charity:Water to reactivate Rachel's donation website.
Donations started to pour in, and the flow increased to a deluge as local news outlets carried the story. "NBC Nightly News" featured a segment about Rachel's fundraiser July 29 and donations soared beyond $700,000.
Rachel's mother Samantha Paul survived the Bellevue crash. In a message posted on Rachel's donation website July 25, she offered thanks to donors.
"I am in awe of the overwhelming love to take my daughter's dream and make it a reality. In the face of unexplainable pain you have provided undeniable hope," she wrote. "Thank you for your generosity! I know Rachel is smiling!"
Troopers seek witnesses to crash
Washington State Patrol investigators put out a call last week for witnesses to the deadly pileup along Interstate 90 in Bellevue.
The crash fatally injured a 9-year-old Issaquah girl and injured numerous other motorists, including a handful of Issaquah residents. Investigators asked for witnesses to call Detective Greg Wilcoxson at 360-805-1195 or Detective Jeff Maijala at 401-7742.
Just before 8 a.m. July 20, as traffic slowed due to congestion near the Interstate 405 interchange at 133rd Avenue Southeast, a tractor-trailer jackknifed into a logging truck in the adjacent lane, authorities said. The impact dislodged the rear axle of the logging truck and sent the piece hurtling into traffic.

Richard Malotky: Keep the frontal lobes in charge
Emotion follows thoughts like form follows function. Sure, there are plenty of situations where emotion should and does rule. Maybe the balancing point lies in deciding when and where each is more useful.
When you watch your daughter get married, emotion should and does rule. When you are balancing your checkbook, thought had better be in charge. These, of course, are the easy examples. I have made most of the bad decisions in my life when I put the wrong part of my brain in charge of the wrong situation.
So just what is going on inside the head that influences whether thought or emotion is running our show? Like most parts of the body, the brain is really cool and incredibly complex. And there are lots of experts who know a lot more about it than me, but here goes.
Starting from the base of the skull, it can be useful to think of the gross anatomy of the brain as laid out in layers. More like a green onion than a pearl onion, the brainstem seems to grow out of the spinal cord and swells into the midbrain.
The final, cauliflower-like thing that you are looking at when you see a picture of the brain is called the cortex. Cortex means bark, so it's easy to remember that this is the outer layer. In order to get more surface area, and therefore more circuits, the cortex is wrinkled and folded into its familiar, recognizable shape.
Concerning what does what and how it does it, it can be useful to think of how the brain works as a function of evolution. In general, the most primitive creatures don't even have a spinal cord. The next more complicated creature has a spinal cord, and has more control of its movement.
Another step up and we add a brainstem, which helps the organism regulate its basic survival functions, like breathing and heart rate. When the midbrain was added, that creature experienced feelings that increased its odds of survival. Fear and pleasure come to mind.
So emotion has been on the evolutionary stage longer than thought. The cortex was added last, and is the most amazing real estate on this side of the galaxy. Although last on the stage, the cortex can be thought of as the conductor that ties all the instruments of the nervous system together. It's just the coolest thing.
And, in addition to seeing, hearing, smelling, allowing us to move in a coordinated way (excepting yours truly), and touching, a big part of our frontal lobes interfaces with the midbrain and the seat of emotion. Since feelings are both more primitive and can be more powerful, the cortex has special nerves that try to inhibit those feelings.
My thesis is this: The better my cortex controls my feelings, the better decisions I make. The ability to not get angry or jealous or silly or melancholy unless my cortex says so is sort of the holy grail. I want to live in a world of thought and feel only when I want to. This is a good goal for me since it is so far away.
Many aspects of mental illness have their roots in this relationship. The inability to control the midbrain and the frontal lobes is the baseline cause of much mental illness. Anxiety and depression come to mind. It's also related to many other things we see in society that we wish we didn't see. Rape and violence. Suicide. The beat goes on.
Fortunately, lots of research money is currently being spent to research how the brain controls itself. There are many liquid chemicals involved and there are lots of things we don't know yet, but understanding the brain is within our research grasp.
Once we understand how it develops and works we should have better treatments available to help folks control their midbrain. When emotion follows thought, the world is a better place.

I don't think the tutorial is available on dic or pdf format. You get a selection of download-able versions
here, but they appear all to be in html.
There may be some parts of the tutorial which are only available in the on-line version.
If you have a large application, then you put files which are related into packages by writing
package thisone;
as the very first statement of your file, before the import statements. You usually keep package names short, and use lower case only.
You can have packages inside packages: the Math class starts with
package java.lang;
If you are planning to let your application out into the big wide world, it is usual to start your package name with your website URL, without the www, written backwards. That is how you get pacakge names starting in com.sun.
As I said, the use of a package declaration means you can keep classes which are related to one another together. You can have classes with the same name in different packages. You can use classes from your other packages by using an import statement in the usual fashion. You can compile every class in a package and zip the whole lot up as a .jar and import the jar into a build path for a different project.
Beware: If you are using packages and compiling from command prompt you have to use a certain sequence of instructions:-
Don't put any of the .java files into a particular folder; keep them all in the same folder regardless.
Compile the files in the deepest packages first. That means the files "farthest" from the main method.
Use the following sort of instruction to compile: C:\MyJavaProgramsFolder> javac -d . MyClass.java
-d means to put the .class files into a directory, and the . means to start with the "." directory, ie the current directory you happen to be in.
If you get any compiler errors like "Cannot find symbol: class Foo," compile Foo on its own with -d . included
Compile the class with the main method last. Use the same sort of instruction as above with "-d ."
If your main method is in package bar in class FooTest, start the app off with the instruction java bar.FooTest

Further to my previous posting.
If you start off with all your .java files in one folder, you will find the Java compiler creates directories corresponding in name to the packages and subpackages. If you use IDEs, they all have different approaches to where they put the .java and .class files.
And if you have two questions, you would have done better to start two threads. Poeple reading the title of this thread will think it is only about how to get the tutorial.

Everyone's invited to read from their poetry, fiction or nonfiction or wow 'em with spoken word performances during Words at WAM. The second annual collaborative open mic and reading is presented by the Weisman Art Museum and Hazel & Wren, a local organization that facilitates literary events.
Words at WAM, free and open to the public, will be held Feb. 27 at the Weisman, 333 E. River Road, Minneapolis.
"This unique style of collaborative open mic between a literary and art organization reinvents the open mic model as something fresh, inspiring and welcoming for all," said Melissa Wray of Hazel & Wren. She's excited about guest readers Tish Jones, poet and activist, and Matthew Ullery, University of Minnesota fiction writer chosen by the university's undergraduate literary magazine, Ivory Tower.
A social hour and open mic sign-up, with entertainment by the University of Minnesota Student Composers group, will be from 6 to 7 p.m. Guests also will be able to take part in writing a community poem to be projected via Twitter and tour the WAM exhibits "Laylah Ali: The Greenheads Series" and "Our Treasures: Highlights From the Minnesota Museum of American Art."
Open mic will be from 7 to 8 p.m., followed by readings by Jones and Ullery.

A good way to make some money is by selling ebooks online. The reason for this is because anyone who knows any skill (everyone) can simply write about what they know and sell it right there on websites. There's no publishing fees, costs for paper and bindings, and there's an unlimited number of copies so you'll never run out. The downside to ebooks is that people with p2p file sharing programs can now share all of their ebooks and other people don't have to buy them. Either way, if you are interested in selling an ebook, I'm going to teach you how.
Titles and Summaries
The first thing you need to think of when writing anything is the titles. You remember when you were a kid and you had to those writing assessments? You had to plan it out first with those diagrams and take up a whole sheet of paper jotting down ideas before you ever even started to write it. It's the same here, except you can skip all of the planning by just thinking up some good titles. Catchy titles will not only catch people's attention, they will also help you write a catchy story. As long as you skip within the subject of the title, you'll be fine. If the subject of the page doesn't fit the title, make a new chapter! Also be careful to write good summaries when you upload the book. If someone sees something that interests them, they'll go ahead and click it and hopefully make a purchase. Give your readers a sample but then end an action-packed sentence with (...) and just let your words trail off. This will make them want to read more because it plays on the natural curiosity of man.
Another key element of any ebook is the layout. Naming the pages is one thing, but structuring them is quite another. If the writing flows right, you should easily be able to tell where everything needs to go. Profferably, you should structure your ebook in a way that always leaves the reader wanting more. Never tell them too much too quickly because they won't want to keep reading.
Illustrations can add just the right touch to any story or article. Haven't you noticed that when you read an article about, say heart conditions, it's a much better article when you see a picture of a heart with the problem that the story describes. Whether its a brain tumor or a Mother's Day card, pictures always make things better. This is because people like visual aids to help them with what they're doing. People are insecure. Say if a woman's reading a manual about how to replace the muffler on a car, not to say anything about women, but she would feel much better if the manual had illustrations of the parts she needs, where they go, and how they fit together. Remember, a picture's worth a thousand words.
User Friendly
After you have all the essentials of your ebook under control, you will need to look at marketing techniques. People like things that are user friendly and will not buy something that is difficult to use. As you are selling online, you can control the little things yourself instead of going through a big publishing company. This means that you can decide what file type to put your article in (many people have Microsoft Word, but everyone has Notepad; although Adobe PDF looks cooler when they read it and allows for you to add images right into the text), which websites people can download the ebook from and any promotional offers or advertisements around the ebook. Include details about what's in the ebook (such as the chapters, things discussed, etc) so the readers won't be surprised about anything when they buy it.
Hopefully this guide has helped you to write and sell your ebook. Please check back here for updates to the guide and let me know if I've helped you at all.
Thank you,
Brandon Dennis

|Destroy 15 enemies in less than five seconds
The absolute best place for this is found in the tunnel right before the goal room in 2-3. You need to break the three barriers along the way and try not to kill any of the enemies. I used the aim explosion to knock boxes out of the way and then waited until all the enemies were at the other end to explode the second and third. You then need to jump down into the goal room and come back up. At this point the spawn generator should spit out more enemies. Go back to the right and come back to this tunnel again. It should be filled with enemies and an explosion run back and forth will net you the trophy.

As the owner of my own heating and cooling business, I have firsthand knowledge of how harsh this winter was for homeowners. And while extended periods of cold weather like we've experienced are good for my business, it also concerns me for many in the community that I know struggle to play for basic needs like food and electricity.
But hearing from my customers during the last few months, the effects of our cold weather didn't take a huge toll on their family budgets. As it turns out, and as I tell my customers, our electricity comes from a variety of sources - primarily coal and natural gas - that helps to keep our rates stable year round.
It's no coincidence that states like ours, that aren't too reliant on just one main source of energy generation, do the best job of protecting ratepayers from the risk of "sticker shock" when our monthly electricity bill arrives. But we have to make sure increased regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency don't impact our state, and the affordability of our electricity, in a negative way.
The EPA, by regulating coal and gas power plants, could force us to use more expensive forms of energy. But continuing to use American coal and natural gas that is produced right here in Louisiana is one of the best ways to keep our electricity rates affordable, regardless of the temperature.
As we think about how we're producing reliable and affordable electricity for future generations, it's important that the EPA not hinder our ability to use these resources.

"City Power is currently experiencing a power interruption which has affected the following areas Ä Lenasia, Eldorado Park, Klipspruit, Nancefield, Daveland and surrounding areas," said spokesman Sol Masolo.
The power interruption was caused by the theft of 88kV electricity pylons between the Nirvana and Nancefield substations.
"City Power electricians are currently in the areas and have started the project to replace the stolen pylons and also to repair those that can be replaced," said Masolo.

Former Minnesota Duluth All-American defenseman Tom Kurvers remains as assistant general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning following Monday's firing of head coach Rick Tocchet and general manager Brian Lawton. Kurvers, 47, in his second year with the team, is now in charge of the daily operation until replacements are hired. Here's a release from the Lightning:
The Tampa Bay Lightning have relieved General Manager Brian Lawton and Head Coach Rick Tocchet of their duties, effective today, Chairman Jeff Vinik announced this morning. The search for a new General Manager will begin immediately. Assistant General Manager Tom Kurvers will assume responsibility for Lightning hockey operations until the new General Manager is hired. After the new General Manager is hired, he will select the new Head Coach.
"Now that the 2009-10 Tampa Bay Lightning season has concluded, we have decided to replace Brian and Rick," said Vinik upon making the announcement. "Our hockey operations department needs a fresh start in order to help us fulfill our goal of being a world-class organization. I'd like to thank both Brian and Rick for their dedication and service to the Lightning.
"Our search for a Chief Executive Officer is well underway and we are in the process of interviewing candidates. After the new CEO is hired, he will hire our new General Manager in time to prepare for the draft and free agency periods."
Lawton was hired by the Lightning in June, 2008 and then named General Manager on October 22, 2008. As General Manager, he was responsible for all aspects of hockey operations, including the coaching and scouting staff, player procurement and development and minor league affiliations and operations.
Tocchet was hired on July 9, 2008 as the team's Associate Coach. He was elevated to the position of interim head coach just 16 games into the 2009-10 season and named head coach on May 11, 2009. Tocchet was 19-33-14 in 2008-09 and his Lightning team went 34-36-12 this past season.

Salinas police tape off the cul-de-sac outside a house in the 1900 block of Gladstone Way where a man was shot multiple times early Tuesday morning.
Salinas police are still investigating leads stemming from the Tuesday morning shooting outside a recently sold house on Gladstone Way, according to Sgt. Jeff Gibson.
Initially listed in critical condition and transported to a local hospital, the victim was driven by ambulance to a San Jose hospital Tuesday afternoon when his condition worsened to grave, Gibson said Wednesday.
"Because of weather conditions yesterday we couldn't life-flight him," Gibson said, adding the man's family has been notified and is with him as he receives treatment for multiple gunshot wounds. ...

"Love Is All You Need"★★★
Danish director Susanne Bier dodges all the Hollywood romance bullets in this story of a wealthy Copenhagen widower (Pierce Brosnan) who becomes involved with a woman (Danish actress Trine Dyrholm) who's recovering from breast cancer and an unfaithful husband. They meet formulaic-like at an airport, where they discover that his son is about to marry her daughter in Italy, but the events that transpire once they arrive in Italy are unpredictable and delightful. This is the rare love story that avoids treacly sentimentality. It also features middle-aged lovers without resorting to jokes about sagging flesh and waning libidos. It's a sweetly enchanting experience watching this mature romance unfold. Rated R; sexuality, nudity, language. 1 hour, 56 minutes. In English and Danish with English subtitles. By Claudia Puig, USA Today. Originally scheduled to open May 31; full review at www.freep.com .
"After Earth"★★
This sci-fi adventure about a boy who must become a man to save himself and his wounded warrior father in a hostile future world is a corny, generally humorless picture from director M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense," 2010's insipid "The Last Airbender") without his trademark surprises and twists. It's a straightforward quest in which incapacitated Dad (Will Smith) sends guilt-ridden, fearful teen son Kitai (Jaden Smith) off to seek help after their spaceship crashes during a trip to Earth, which was abandoned by humans centuries earlier. A Will Smith action film that has him grimacing on his back and giving instructions is nobody's idea of a lot of fun. Son Jaden, a kid with a hint of charisma, has to carry the film and doesn't have the presence to pull that off. Truth be told, the movie would never have been made had the elder Smith not cooked it up as yet another star effort for his son. Rated PG-13; sci-fi action and violence, disturbing images. 1 hour, 40 minutes. By Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service.
Taking characters from William Joyce's children's novel "The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs," a team of writers has borrowed from "Antz," "A Bug's Life" and even "Spiderwicke Chronicles" to construct an animated story about the fairy forces of life in a forest, where the Leaf Men (and women) and their allies battle reptilian, bog-dwelling forces of decay. The all-star voice cast includes Amanda Seyfried, Beyoncé Knowles, Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell and Christoph Waltz. The film's 3D makes excellent use of depth of field and delivers eye-popping next-generation animation, but that's the sort of praise critics deliver when the story itself is troubled. "Epic" is kind of all over the place, a real patchwork of ideas and inventions borrowed from elsewhere. As the bar has been raised for this sort of animation, it delivers fresh evidence that a strong story is worth far more than any next-generation software. Rated PG; mild action, scary images, brief rude language. 1 hour, 42 minutes. By Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service.
"Fast & Furious 6" ★★
Bad movies are rarely as much fun as those spawned by 2001's "The Fast and the Furious." "F&F 6" pulls our boys Dom and Brian (Vin Diesel and Paul Walker) out of retirement one more time to help the feds (Dwayne Johnson and Gina Carano) nail a British villain (Luke Evans, well cast) who is bent on world domination. He's stealing parts for a device that will knock out a nation's communications, and he's doing it with wedge-shaped ramp cars and such. The movie runs out of gas for 30 minutes or more in the middle of everything. But the easy bonhomie of the cast, the jokey tone of the script and in-your-face slam-bang action (including a girl fight for the ages) make this junk food that goes down easily, regardless of how little nutritional value it has. Rated PG-13; intense violence and action, sexuality, language. 2 hours, 10 minutes. By Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service.
"Frances Ha"★★★
This joint creation of star Greta Gerwig and director Noah Baumbach ("The Squid and the Whale") is honest, funny and a small miracle of a movie. Twenty-seven-year-old Frances (the Ha isn't explained until the charming final frame) is an apprentice dancer in New York who is more or less disposable to everyone in her life. Still, there's something unmistakably endearing about her vulnerability and her pluck as she tries to figure out whether life holds a place for her. If the film has a signature sequence, it's a long tracking shot of its namesake running fluidly through the streets of New York with David Bowie's "Modern Love" playing on the soundtrack. In that moment, in fact in all of its moments, "Frances Ha" makes you feel hopeful about movies - and about life. Rated R; sexual references, language. 1 hour, 26 minutes. By Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times.
"The Hangover Part III"★★
Slow, sentimental and somewhat sedated, the third "Hangover" movie isn't so much exhausted by outrageous "Oh no, they didn't!" ideas as it is spent of energy from the start. This time out, the Wolf Pack (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha) sets out to deliver ditzy Alan (Zach Galifianakis) to a rehab facility, but gets carjacked by a mobster (John Goodman). He takes Doug (Bartha) hostage and orders the remaining three to find the slippery Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), who has stolen gold from the crime boss. The boys promise to take Mr. Chow out to save Doug, and that leads us to Tijuana and eventually back to where all this craziness started: Las Vegas. There's only one funny cameo, and funny lines are rare and random this time. As "Hangovers" go, "Part III" isn't challenging or unpleasant, but it's instantly forgettable. It won't take much to sleep this one off. Rated R; language, sexual references, violence, drug content, brief graphic nudity. 1 hour, 40 minutes. By Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service.
"Now You See Me"★★
Until the final scene, "Now You See Me" is a mildly interesting look at what happens when larceny meets magic. Several illusionists - played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco -are brought together by a mysterious stranger to pull off a series of impossible crimes. The authorities - particularly agents from the FBI (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol (Mélanie Laurent) - are not amused by the thieves or what they do with their loot: They give away all of the money they steal to their audiences. Director Louis Leterrier handles the illusions well, but things fall apart at the end. The film's screenwriters take impossible leaps over gaping holes, and one of the movie's biggest clues is explained one way and then appears completely different at the conclusion. When it comes to a big finish, "Now You See Me" is more like "Now You Don't." Rated PG-13; language, sexual content. 1 hour, 41 minutes. By Rick Bentley, the Fresno Bee.
"Star Trek Into Darkness"★★★
Director J.J. Abrams pushes the "Star Trek" franchise into new territory while keeping a nostalgic eye trained on what has come before. The set-up is simple: A terrorist named John Harrison (Benedict Cumberbatch), a former Starfleet member, detonates a bomb in London that kills hundreds. Although the USS Enterprise is supposed to be used primarily for scientific exploration, Capt. James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and the rest of his crew are ordered to perform a military mission: Track down Harrison on the planet Kronos even if it means invading Klingon airspace, which could be considered an act of war. One of the things that distinguishes "Into Darkness" from most of the previous movies in the franchise is the number of big surprises the story springs. It also contains some unexpectedly moving moments, so bring tissues. The cast is a true ensemble, but it is Abrams who is the real star here. He has the enthusiasm of a fan, a thorough grasp of storytelling and a superb command of craftsmanship and style. Rated PG-13; intense sci-fi action and violence. 2 hours, 12 minutes. By Rene Rodriguez, McClatchy Newspapers.
"Stories We Tell"★★★★
Toronto actress-turned-filmmaker Sarah Polley ("Away From Her," "Take This Waltz") turns her camera on her family in this documentary, which combines interviews, archival footage and meticulous re-enactments so seamlessly that it's hard to tell what's real and what's mythologized. The film sprang from a recurring joke within the Polley family that Sarah doesn't resemble her father much. Relatives and longtime friends remember her mother, who died of cancer when Sarah was only 11, as a charismatic figure and as a woman who harbored some secrets. Polley sat all these people down in front of a camera, one by one, and asked them to tell her the family's story as if she were meeting them for the first time. She ultimately discovers that we're all unreliable narrators of our own histories and that truth is a fleeting thing that's constantly evolving. Rated PG-13; mature themes, sexuality, language, smoking. 1 hour, 48 minutes. By Christy Lemire, Associated Press.

Scaling one of the trickiest surfaces on Earth (ice) is all about pushing past every last limit (even if the climb isn't out of alien-escaping necessity, like on TNT's Falling Skies). In preparation for our Adrenaline Junkies: Ice Climbing in Colorado Boutique, opening today at 11AM ET, we're brushing up on tips and tricks for expertly controlling what we can on our climb. And as for what we can't? That's what Marmot expert climber and guide Angela Hawse will be there for.
1. Stay totally fueled, before, during, and after your climb. Traditional Mountaineering shares its picks for pre- and post-excursion meals, and recommends consuming approximately 200 carbohydrate calories per hour to stay in peak form during your journey. (Oh, and Clif Bars can do no wrong.)
2. An injury is the last vacation souvenir anyone wants. From belay-induced neck pain to keeping fingers away from pulleys, this guide from Rock and Ice has every uh-oh scenario (and how to avoid it) covered.
3. While it seems like a given, the importance of super-sharp points (think picks, crampons, and screws) can't be emphasized enough.
4. Because dropping an ice pick is the ultimate "womp-womp," rub ski wax onto your tool handles for an even more secure grip (they'll also plunge into condensed the snow more smoothly). Ice Climb recommends using a wax meant for dry snow.
And even if you're not ready to scale those icy peaks quite yet, tune in to an all-new TNT's Falling Skies this Sunday at 9/8c, and get that adrenaline pumping.

Quinn has had to go for 3 years now
I hear a lot of people hopping on the "get rid of Quinn" bandwagon. Well it's about time. I have been saying this for at least 3 years now. The Leafs have had some marked success in the last few years, but it has had nothing to do with Pat Quinn. Only in Toronto will one of the greatest players in the game get the same ice time as the average Joe on most teams. And only in Toronto will he be lined up with the worst and most average players on the team. Mats Sundin is a potential 90-point getter, even more, but he doesn't get the ice time, and he doesn't get the linemates, and he hasn't for almost 4 years now.
Anyone remember when Sundin/Mogilny/Tucker was the greatest line in hockey for the first 10 games of the season as the Leafs started early with 10 wins in a row and they'd combined for over 40 points? What happened after that? Quinn broke up that line and the Leafs became simply a "good" team for the rest of the season, and that line never saw the ice again, and none of us know why.
I hate to break down an argument to specifics, but nothing reiterates my viewpoint better than a game from the pre-lockout season that was crucial in this fan's eyes. Boston/Toronto/Ottawa were all battling for first in the Northeast division at this time late in the season and all 3 teams were separated by only TWO points. Boston was leading, Toronto and Ottawa tied for second. Toronto had a game IN TORONTO against the abismal Carolina Hurricanes (at this time they were one of the two worst teams in the league). Carolina had played their typical defensive style of game and were leading 1-0 with about 7 minutes left in the third, when they were assessed a penalty. I turned to my girlfriend and I said, "This is where the Leafs tie this game and move into AT LEAST a tie with Boston for first, even with just the single point for overtime!!!" and I was excited. Then I remembered who was behind our bench, and my worst fears were confirmed. Pat Quinn just didn't take this opportunity seriously. He didn't even call a timeout (which is forgiveable, but something I think most people would agree was a good idea in such a crucial game), but the best part of what happened, and I remember this like it happened yesterday, was the actual power play unit that Quinn put out. It was a clear statement that Quinn did not see this as an opportunity to seize the game, or the division. If so, why were Tie Domi, Robert Reichel, and an as yet unestablished Alexei Ponikarovsky the power play unit????? And not only the unit, but for 1:22 of the power play!! I looked at the clock at the line change because I had been so busy cursing in every way I knew possible to my girlfriend and I wanted to remember this moment as the day I knew Quinn had to go.
DOMI/REICHEL/PONIKAROVSKY for 1:22 of a 2:00 power play at a crucial game against a weak opponent late in the season? Do you know what happened? We lost that game 1-0 against the 29th best team in the NHL, and finished the season ONE POINT behind Boston, putting us in fourth going into the playoffs. Even if we had tied Boston, we would have won the division because we beat Boston head-to-head all season. That one point would have the Leafs going into the Playoffs in second in the East, instead we went in fourth and lost to Philli in the second round. We should have had Montreal in the first round and we could have avoided the nasty first round exhaustion against the Sens and had a chance against Philli. I know, a lot of ifs, but they would have come true had Quinn tried to score on that power play…..
It's the cycling of 4 lines equally that practically no other coach in the NHL does, especially when they have someone of Sundin's calibre. He's a lot better than his points suggest, if you calculate his points per ice time, he's up there with the leaders in the NHL over his career. It's a shame but I'm glad people are finally waking up to see QUINN HAS GOT TO GO!!!!

I love it when someone having a bad day takes it out on someone not looking to break the bank while still getting something accomplished. Nobody wants to pay more for something than what it's worth, but that's not a tangible metric in all reality as the worth of something is what that certan individual deems it to be. So anyone wanting to sound tough in the net in a similar situation take this advice, don't do it. You only make yourself look like an ass and that's not worth the 1minute of satisfaction you gain making posts like that.
I feel your pain OP though my wife is actually pretty undderstanding. It doesn't help that I'm a pretty handy mo fo and could probably keep even the lowest quality equipment running for quite a long time. Just try your best to let her know the facts and that what you want to buy and plan on doing with that purchase actually is saving you money in the long term.
I'm a huge fan of Craigslist/finding old crap someone else doesn't want and making it run like it should. My current back pack blower is an early SN Echo PB-300E. I'm certian the models you are looking at/listed in the first post would blast it to the noon but for my needs (1/3 acre with a 35' Cleveland pear/2 35' green ashs'/about 40% of my neighbors 50' pin oak in my yard) it does the trick.
I'm sure you could find the models you listed on CL that are a year old or maybe even brand new for under your $300 budget.
If all else fails do like I do. Ask yourself "is she going to divorce me for doing this"? Chances are probably not!

MINNEAPOLIS - There will no longer be food trucks outside of Minneapolis' first tap room.
Fulton Brewing Company opened the tap room located at 414 6th Avenue North in March, the first in the city following the passage of the "Surly Bill."
"We're a brewery, we make beer but we recognize people want to have food with the beer they drink," said Ryan Petz, President of Fulton Brewing Company. "We're not really the guys to make it so we've been partnering with these food trucks and it's been a really good thing."
But, this week Fulton received a notice from the city letting them know it's illegal for them to have a food truck on their property.
"We knew food trucks could operate downtown, we considered ourselves downtown," said Petz.
KARE 11 looked at the food truck zoning map from the city. It shows that the tap room is indeed just three blocks outside of the zone.
Word of the enforcement spread like wildfire on social media.
"There's been a big response on Twitter," said Petz, "We like the support but it maybe made it sound like it was worse than it was."
Petz has reached out to the city, but until there's a resolution there won't be food trucks at the tap room.
"We've always told our patrons who want to come to the brewery that they can bring in food from other restaurants or order pizza or takeout and bring it in to the brewery we're just fine with that," said Petz.
KARE 11 spoke to a city representative who said Mayor RT Rybak and the councilman for that ward are looking into re-drawing the food truck zone to include the North Loop Neighborhood.
Any changes to the areas where food trucks are allowed will need to go through an internal review process. The zones were last updated a year ago.

The two top staffers of the state board regulating doctors announced their resignations Wednesday. Executive Director Larry Buening will leave July 1st, one month after the resignation of General Counsel Mark Stafford takes effect June 1.
The Board of Healing Arts was under pressure to fire both of them, from lawmakers upset over the case of Haysville physician Stephen Schneider. Federal prosecutors accuse him of running a "pill mill," and have linked his clinic to more than 55 overdose deaths. The board held a special meeting today to discuss personnel issues. But the board president said he did not ask for the resignations from Buening or Stafford.

Ice builds up on the edge of the Ballville Dam in Fremont on Thursday, Feb 7, 2013. / Jonathon Bird/News-Messenger
Using a barge in the Sandusky River, crews from Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. take bedrock samples from above the Ballville Dam in Fremont on Friday, Mar 9, 2012. The work is part of the feasibility and environmental study of the proposed Ballville Dam removal. / Jonathon Bird/News-Messenger
FREMONT — There will be no decision made on the Ballville Dams future until a final environmental impact statement record of decision is released in early 2014.
But officials from Stantec, an engineering firm based in Cincinnati, and the city of Fremont continue to work on possible dam removal details, including the installation of an ice control structure in the Sandusky River. If the Ballville Dam is removed, an ice control structure will be put in its place to help break up ice jams and mitigate potential flooding along the river in the city.
Peyton said if an ice control structure is installed, it will not be an experimental structure. He said there have been other structures installed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in other rivers in the Great Lakes Region, including one in the Buffalo, N.Y., area.
Itll be like a bridge pier without a pier on top, Peyton said Wednesday.
Currently, the Ballville Dam catches some of the ice volume produced by ice jams that occur downstream of Fremont between the city and Lake Erie.
It doesnt catch it all. Ice still flows on down, Peyton said.
Mayor Jim Ellis said the city didnt know what the final cost would be to put in an ice control structure. Stantec project manager Scott Peyton said the estimated cost would be about $2 million, which is included in the overall $8.8 million estimate for dam removal.
Opponents of dam removal, like retired Sandusky County Common Pleas Judge Jim Sherck, have questioned the need to remove the dam and replace it with an ice control structure, especially given the problems associated with the $44 million reservoir project.
Sherck, a founding member of the Committee to Save the Ballville Dam, said in February that the delays and cost overruns associated with the reservoir had caused everyone to take a closer look at every city project.
During a dam removal steering committee meeting in February 2012, Sherck expressed concerns about the ice control structure, its cost, and its effectiveness in combating ice jams.
Its another project, he said at the time. Its another form of the dam.
Stantec has taken core samples from bedrock on the river floor, completed the geotechnical analysis and prepared a report for Ellis, Peyton said.
Ellis said Thursday he had received the report. Peyton said it basically states there is good solid foundation rock on the Sandusky River to anchor an ice control structure.
On the Sandusky River, ice jams occur downstream of Fremont between the city and Lake Erie, Peyton said.
He said nervousness about putting in the ice control structure revolves around the potential for ice jam-related flooding along the river.
Peyton said that of Sandusky Countys six major floods caused by ice jams, four occurred before the construction of the Ballville Dam in 1912.
In a 2011 feasibility study prepared by Stantec, it was noted that the low-gradient, low-energy section of the river from Fremont to the bay facilitated the accumulation of ice and formation of ice jams. When ice accumulates, according to the study, upstream water levels are artificially elevated and chances of flood damage increased.
The two floods after construction of the dam in 1959 and 1963 were the worst ones caused by ice jams, Peyton said.
Peyton said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed the citys flood wall in the early 1970s, and he noted that the levee system had done its job in terms of minimizing the negative impact of flooding along the river.
The feasibility study cites U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that pointed out two major floods in 1978 and 2007 occurred when there was potential for ice jams and ice jamming was recorded upstream of the Ballville Dam without flood damage in Fremont.
That tells me the levees are doing their job protecting the city, Peyton said.
The installation of an ice control structure would be done in coordination with the phased removal of the dam.
An updated timeline developed by the city and Stantec calls for partial removal (25 percent) of the dam by the fall of 2014, with the ice control structure installed in summer 2015 and full removal of dam in fall 2015.
Ellis said, by the time the environmental impact statement is finished, the city will have cost estimates for either dam removal or dam repair.
We cant make any decisions until that is done, Ellis said.
