The party will focus on 106 key marginals and copy Barack Obama in using community organisers and social media.
09:25, UK, Wednesday 09 January 2013
Labour is confident of securing at least a 60-seat Commons majority in 2015, according to the party's general election chief.
Tom Watson said such a convincing win was "realistic" after the shadow cabinet approved his strategy to concentrate on 106 key marginal constituencies.
Under the ballot box blueprint, the opposition expects each of its 255 sitting MPs to hold their seats with little problem.
It is to concentrate funds on training US-style community organisers and using social media in target areas in a bid to emulate Barack Obama's electoral success in the US.
Among ambitious aims is ejecting Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes from the seat he has held for 30 years, which would require a 9.6% swing.
The vast bulk of the list is made up of the constituencies - four-fifths held by the Tories - which would be won on a uniform national swing.
Only 30 candidates have so far been selected in the target seats but the process is expected to be completed by the summer.
The party is aiming to train up to 1,000 party members to be professional organisers, using US expert Arnie Graf, who trained a young Mr Obama.
It is also using the American "Nation Builder" IT system to make the best use of social media - now regarded as a key campaign tool.
Mr Watson contrasted the Labour "offensive" strategy of targeting only other parties' seats with a Tory plan to defend 40 of its own and win another 40.
If successful, it would result in a Labour majority of 80 - well above the 66-seat advantage secured by Tony Blair in Labour's last general election win in 2005.
Asked if he was confident of winning, Mr Watson said: "Yes, 100%. I would not be presenting this if I did not think it was realistic."
Mr Watson said the party had "done a lot of research" based on recent election results and demographic changes to come up with the list.
Of the 106, 86 were won in 2010 by Conservatives, 16 by Lib Dems, two by Plaid Cymru and one each by the Scottish National Party and the Green Party.
Other than Mr Hughes' Bermondsey and Old Southwark seat and two other Lib Dem-held constituencies - Bristol West and Leeds North West - they are all marginals that would all be won by Labour on a swing of 7.4% or lower.
One omission from the list is Bradford West, where Respect's George Galloway scored a shock by-election victory over Labour last April.
Mr Watson said it was not included because it was expected to be won back relatively easily despite Mr Galloway's 10,000-vote majority.
He joked that it had been "very tempting" to include Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg's Sheffield Hallam seat.
Sitting MPs who enjoyed only wafer-thin majorities were aware of the intent not to target resources at them, Mr Watson said.
And the party was lucky that many of those were "very good campaign-focused MPs" such as Toby Perkins, Gloria De Piero and Ian Austin, he added.
The latest YouGov opinion poll, published at the weekend, had Labour on 43%, the Tories on 32%, Lib Dems on 10% and Ukip on 9%.

Turkey and stuffing and gravy, oh my! I can smell it and taste it and it's not even in my house. And turkey sandwiches afterwards? Yes. In this prompt we are talking about all the ins and outs and giblets of Thanksgiving Day. What did you eat? What did you do? Who did you dine with? All sorts of fun memories seem to revolve around a dinner table–and Thanksgiving is one of the biggest one of them all.
My Journaling
We spent many Thanksgivings with extended family and there were many that were spent on our own. I remember my mom breaking bread for the stuffing…and sometimes it was Stove Top–which really isn't a stuffing, ya know.
I would have to say that probably my most 'memorable' Thanksgiving was the year that we didn't have much money, so my mom bought turkey tv dinners for the big day. We did eat them on dishes rather than in the tin foil. I don't know if I feel like that was a sad moment or an adventurous moment. I would have to say, it was a memorable moment–a very memorable moment. I was in eighth grade and we were living in that green three-story duplex at the time–the one with the funky wallpaper. It's funny that that one particular Thanksgiving is very clear in my head.
And you know, for as many memories as I have of my youth, I can't say I have too many memories of Thanksgiving days throughout my childhood. I do have a small memory, when I was very young, of having dinner in the old yellow house–when it was actually a residence before it was partially torn down. I remember the big table and the French doors. It's just a fragment of a memory, really.
I do remember watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade about every year–kind of. It was always on, but for us to sit down and watch it the whole time? Yeah, I don't think that happened much.
Even though I may not have many specific memories about Thanksgiving, I know that it was always full of love–whether we were with a large group of family or with just as a small little family or whether we had turkey or turkey bi-product (ha ha).

'I must see Lorry,' the Doctor repeated, turning her another way.
The staunch old gentleman was still in his trust; had never left it. He and his books were in frequent requisition as to property confiscated and made national. What he could save for the owners, he saved. No better man living to hold fast by what Tellson's had in keeping, and to hold his peace.
A murky red and yellow sky, and a rising mist from the Seine, denoted the approach of darkness. It was almost dark when they arrived at the Bank. The stately residence of Monseigneur was altogether blighted and deserted. Above a heap of dust and ashes in the court, ran the letters: National Property. Republic One and Indivisible. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, or Death.
Who could that be with Mr. Lorry--the owner of the ridingcoat upon the chair--who must not be seen? From whom newly arrived, did he come out, agitated and surprised, to take his favourite in his arms? To whom did he appear to repeat her faltering words, when, raising his voice and turning his head towards the door of the room from which he had issued, he said: 'Removed to the Conciergerie, and summoned for to-morrow?'
THE dread Tribunal of five Judges, Public Prosecutor, and determined Jury, sat every day. Their lists went forth every evening, and were read out by the gaolers of the various prisons to their prisoners. The standard gaoler-joke was, 'Come out and listen to the Evening Paper, you inside there!'
' Charles Evrémonde, called Darnay!'
So at last began the Evening Paper at La Force.
When a name was called, its owner stepped apart into a spot reserved for those who were announced as being thus fatally recorded. Charles Evrémonde, called Darnay, had reason to know the usage; he had seen hundreds pass away so.

Chattanooga-(WDEF) Chattanooga has often been referred to as the capital of girls fast-pitch softball in the Eastern United States. We asked several prominent, local softball figures how the Scenic City became such a mecca for the sport.
UTC softball coach Frank Reed thinks girls fast-pitch maybe spawned from the old men's fast pitch company teams that were prevalent in Chattanooga. Reed says his dad was hired to play fast-pitch for the Dupont Nylons.
"Some of the men's best fast-pitch players in the world came right out of Chattanooga. DuPont had a team. The Combustion had a team. Key Bakery."
And as those company teams died down, it seems the girls game started to grow.
Said GPS softball coach Susan Crownover,"Well you know, there was just so much summer ball. I mean there has just always been so much summer ball in Chattanooga."
Said ASA Jr Olympic Commissioner for Tennessee Kim Swafford,"And then on into the 80's is when it really blew up here. We had a national championship here in Chattanooga every year from 1980 to 1989."
And one of those spearheading local girls softball in the 80's was Jim Frost, who coached the famous Frost Falcons.
Said Swafford,"He was one of the first coaches to take a team to a national championship, and I think he took them to California."
Baylor coach Kelli Smith played for the Frost Falcons.
"Well Jim was just a great coach himself. He knew the game. He had a passion for the game. Then he was able to bring coaches in and work with us. He brought Ernie Parker from California, who is one of the most well reknowned pitching coaches of all time."
Given all that coaching and summer ball, no wonder Chattanooga high school teams are a force in the state tournament.
Said Crownover,"And that's the difference between us and other places is that Chattanooga teams in every division, division one, division two, triple-A, double-A,single-A, they still keep showing up in the state tournament every year. I think it's a tribute really to the city of Chattanooga and North Georgia in the way the fields they've built and the facilities."
And city officials worked to upgrade Chattanooga's ball fields, and Reed believes they'resecond to none.
"I've been all over the country. Looked at facilities. Gone to big tournaments. And I can step up to somebody and say you need to come to Chattanooga to play. You're going to get to play on some of the best fields and complexes. I can say that truthfully, and when people get a chance to come, they always want to come back."

There's a high level of absenteeism Monday as several school systems in Eastern Carolina forgo the Memorial Day holiday in favor of snow makeup days.
This is a school makeup day for Pitt, Edgecombe and Greene County schools, after students missed classes during the snow storm back in March.
Pitt County School officials say this is not a full day of classes.
Students will be released three hours earlier than their normal dismissal time.
Although in Greene County, administrators say students will stay in class for a full day.
In Edgecombe County, though exact figures are not yet available, attendance is well below average.
At Farmville Middle School in Pitt County, almost half of the students didn't show up. Those that did learned lessons on Memorial Day and had a picnic on the school lawn.
The Pitt county Board decided Memorial Day will not be a make up day option on the calendar for the 2010-2011 school year since parents were upset by this decision to have school on Memorial day.

Eh 5 or 6 is a stench since episodes BW02 - 19 through 23 are already focused around the League. We already have 5 episodes so I doubt we will get too 10 especially the way they have been treating this region and league with small battles.
I don't get the feeling that two rivals will surpass Ash to fight it out in the finals. If anything I don't see any of them winning and some COTD wins.

Our Promise
We have a few simple guidelines that we feel are important, and which also make us unique:
Each and every week, we aim to bring you a basket of fresh, high quality foods that are designed to work for you and your family. We build our baskets with recipes in mind so that you can use all the ingredients efficiently. We also aim to make our baskets as customizable as possible, while working within our model and keeping our prices fair for all involved.
We support eating in a regionally-focused way, therefore; we strive to source from partners who are as close to home as possible. We first source locally and from the Mid-Atlantic region. When items from that region aren't available, we will find Eastern produce available to fill your basket. We also believe that you should know your source of supply, personally, whenever possible.
Our intention is to encourage people to eat how we should be eating – by providing you with food that is ripe, ready, and in season. In the cold winter months (just when you are missing bright berries and crisp apples sweet melons), we will provide you with carefully stored items, individually quick frozen Eastern produce to supplement your greenhouse items, and winter produce like hearty greens to round out your basket.
We believe in the ethical and humane treatment of all animals and people. This belief ranges from our cage free hens and pasture-raised beef to the proper treatment of the field workers who harvest our food, to our employees and to you, our customers.
We want to support our suppliers, and in order to do this, we must pay a fair price for our products – ALWAYS. This means that we then pass this fair price on to our customers. We believe everyone should feel good about their interactions with us, and feel that what we supply is great value-for-money. On most of our products this means a better price for you and better terms for the farmer.

Victims' family wants 'death' for Blanchard murderer
PURCELL — Jurors in McClain County heard emotional statements from those closest to a Dibble mother and her two children as they began the process of deciding the fate convicted triple-murderer Shaun Michael Bosse.
The jury found Bosse guilty Monday of killing 25-year-old Katrina Griffin and her two young children. Their bodies were found July 23, 2010, in their badly burned mobile home after a neighbor noticed smoke billowing out of it that morning.
Katrina Griffin and her son, 8-year-old Christian Griffin, died in a knife attack. The youngest, 6-year-old Chasity Hammer, died of smoke inhalation after Bosse locked her in a closet shortly before he set the mobile home on fire, prosecutors say.
Katrina Griffin's parents addressed the nine women and three men sitting on the jury late Tuesday afternoon. When they were finished, most of the jurors were left wiping their eyes.
Johnny Griffin, who bought Katrina Griffin a mobile home on his property so she and her young family would have a place to live, said the murders have all but destroyed his life. Some days, he says, "I don't want to go home at all."
"For my wife and I … it's left us empty and alone," Johnny Griffin said. "Our home will never be home again, like it was. We will miss them 'til the day we die."
Rebecca Allen talked about her grandson, Christian, who "always thought of himself as the man of the house."
Johnny Griffin described both of his grandchildren as "daredevils," and said Chasity "could dance like you wouldn't believe."
"They loved each other very much," he said of the children.
Ginger Griffin, Katrina's stepmother, said the murders wiped away the hopes and aspirations of the grandparents. She said it's especially hard to walk outside and see the area where the young family's mobile home once stood.
"Every time I walk out the door and look over there … I'm just hoping it's a nightmare," she said. "Our dreams for them are gone, and now we only have nightmares."
When asked by prosecutors what kind of punishment Bosse deserves for killing their daughter and grandchildren, all three of Katrina Griffin's relatives said the same thing.
"Death," they all said.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case. Jurors are expected to make a punishment recommendation Wednesday.
Escape detailed
Jurors also heard from two witnesses who worked at the McClain County jail when Bosse, 30, escaped in June 2011.
Thomas Williams, who was assaulted by Bosse during the escape, told the jury the incident left him mentally scarred.
"(I felt) ashamed, disappointed and violated," Williams said. "Ashamed I couldn't do my job."
Prosecutors played a video of the jail on the day Bosse escaped, which shows the convicted murderer attack Williams from behind and force him into a cell.
After struggling with Williams for roughly four minutes, Bosse locked the jailer in a cell with a convicted sex offender and left the area.
Footage from another area of the jail shows Bosse interacting with former jailer Sasha Martinez, who was fired after the escape.
Bosse would eventually take Martinez's car keys and flee the area. He was apprehended roughly 10 hours later in Blanchard without incident.
Callen Stephens, a deputy U.S. Marshal, said Bosse's grandmother and a childhood friend told authorities where they could find him.
Williams and Martinez said they both feared for their lives when Bosse had control over them.
"I was scared," Martinez said. "I seriously thought he was going to do something to me."
Williams said Bosse even made reference to the grisly triple murder he was accused of committing.
"He asked me if I knew why he was in there," Williams said. "He wanted to know if I thought he did it."

If youre in the mood for a stop-motion animated movie that you can watch with your whole family, youre going to want to keep moving, because this Hell and Back trailer is definitely of the R-rated variety.
Thelma and Louise, played by Geena Davis and Susan Sarandan in the 1981 movie, went out with a bang. Its one of those classic movie endings, but thanks to Sarandan and James Corden, there are a couple more alternate endings.
Drugs and Hollywood go hand in hand. Especially when it comes to comedies, from the stoner epics centered around Harold and Kumar, to the vintage adventures of Cheech and Chong.
Uh-oh! Thelma and Louise together again? Well, in selfie-form anyway. Susan Sarandon shared a photo, which shows her and her Thelma & Louise co-star Geena Davis posed side-by-side and looking gorgeous together, beneath the photo of their Thelma & Louise characters.
You might be surprised by how many high-profile people are taking a very public stand against the War on Drugs, especially since simplistic slogans like "Say No To Drugs" have been driven into our brains for decades. In addition to Sarandon, the likes of 50 Cent, The Wire and Treme creator David Simon, Russell Simmons and Arianna Huffington
Sarandon will be playing a detective in a small Canadian town whose newest case is tracking down a strange breed of serial killer. One who is planning his own resurrection and is using terminally ill patients as his potential disciples.
Co-written by the Oscar nominee and her husband Ben Falcone, the raunchy comedy tells the story of a woman who loses her job and discovers her husband cheating, and decides to go on a long road trip with her alcoholic, foul-mouthed diabetic grandmother.
Kevin Kline and Susan Sarandon have signed on to star in a new film about one of Hollywoods original legends. Killer Films is developing a new indie film titled The Last of Robin Hood, and Kline will be playing the part of an aging Errol Flynn.
Arbitrage built serious buzz coming out of Sundance, with much of the impact swirling around Geres powerful turn. Expect Roadside to test the Oscar waters for its leading man
Ping-Pong Summer is being described as a coming-of-stage story of a New Jersey teen with a passion for table tennis and hip-hop music who embarks on a family vacation in the summer of 1985 and contends with his entire life changing before his very eyes. Get me a young John Cusack on the phone!
Following the Saturday night world premiere of writer-director Nicholas Jarecki's Arbitrage, Richard Gere is garnering major buzz for his role as an amoral hedge fund trader. The thriller, which co-stars Tim Roth and Susan Sarandon, centers on Robert Miller (Gere), an American man who is in many ways a symbol of American patriarchy
Planets aligned when the Movie Gods paired Vin Diesel with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnsonfor Fast Five. It was like muscular chocolate was discovering steroid-enhanced peanut butter for the first time. Some steakheads were just meant to collaborate. Other acting partners strike us as well, strange.
Some good news for those eagerly anticipating Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis adaptation of David Mitchells award-winning novel Cloud Atlas. The production has picked up an additional $1.35 million in funding from the German Federal Film Board. Now, that sounds like a drop in the bucket. But its worth noting the addition of funds because the films budget primarily has been adjusted and slashed
The Weather Underground, a group very active in the late 1960s and throughout the 70s, represented something like the darker side of hippie culture, using violent action and inflammatory rhetoric to protest the Vietnam War and various other social issues, including racism and sexism
Earlier in the week, Variety reported that Liev Schreiber, Jeremy Strong and Liv Tyler had been cast in a picture that already had lured two heavy hitters in Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon. Next, the trade added that James Marsden has agreed to join the ensemble, and would be playing the role of one of Langellas sons
Williams has joined The Wedding, a project once known as Gently Down the Stream that currently boasts De Niro, Diane Keaton and Susan Sarandon in its cast. But wait! Theres more though it isnt necessarily an improvement. Showbiz 411 says
The script follows a mother whose indie rocker son passes away; in her grief she decides to take revenge on one blogger at the music website Pitchfork who criticized her son, only to discover that the blogger is just a dopey teenager
Despite the fact that Samberg and Sandler are way too close together in age to making a convincing father and son team, and also despite the fact that Sandler hasn't made a genuinely good comedy in years, I somehow feel like there's potential here

We here in the movie news section typically don't post too much about short films, but an exception can be made in this case. Fight for Your Right Revisited is a short film by writer/director Adam Yauch, but the fact that it's a short about the rap trio known as the Beastie Boys is only half of the reason why it's cool.

My New Selle saddle.
My New Selle saddle.
I received these Sunday morning from my neighbor before taking off for La Conner to meet up with Alex Moll for a vintage show/ride. They arrived Thursday afternoon, while I was well on my way to arriving in Cour d'Alene, ID. My neighbor and I watch out for each other as concerns deliveries when either of us are out of town.
The shoes are really nice, with thin leather soles and a nice, shaped maplewood inner sole - topped with cork at the ball/toe end. Very high-quality - and light in the bargain.
Daddy needed yet another new pair of shoes:
Someday I'll get a pair of Marresis in my size and my shoe collection will be complete

I'm pretty excited that this came in the mail for me today:
It's astounding just how light this derailleur actually is!
After the initial moment of panic/disappointment, I realized the bolt threading was the same, so I grabbed my rotary tool and ground down one side of the adapter claw until it was able to provide clearance and essentially made my own Cyclone-compatible-claw. *whew*
I just got a clamp-on adapter for a 105 triple (braze-on) front derailleur. I've more confidence bidding on Ebay stuff from Taiwan now.

Brand new, C&V-looking "J&L Classic" saddle. Just your basic Regal clone.
Came directly from Taiwan and is going to on my Sekine to help complete the white accenting and replace the super uncomfortable saddle that is on it right now.
I think I paid $20 including overseas S&H so I figured it was good deal to try out - and for that price, I didn't think I had much to lose.
Appears to be vinyl over plastic with a little bit of padding but nothing so deep it'll cut off circulation (really hating on gelled seats for this lately...)
Rails are well machined and sturdy feeling, plastic seems to be of decent quality with a nice bit of flex to it.
Rivets seem to be decent, but the stapling along the sides on the underside appear to be along a very thin edge of the material, so I suspect I will probably end up having to re-attach with some super-glue at some point. It was cheap, I expected cheap, so not really concerned about that easy repair which might be needed.
I didn't expect Brooks quality, and certainly wasn't going to pay Brooks prices for a white saddle on a bike that usually gets ridden about 20km a day in fair weather.
Hopefully I can get it on the bike and take it for a test ride this evening.

AbstractIn prior and ongoing, unrelated work in electrochromics, this firm developed unique, thin, flexible, double-sided, metallized (Au, Pt), microporous membranes, incorporating Conducting Polymer (CPs). Expected to have very high electro-osmotic flow capacities, they are useful for active water vapor transport through CBD-protective membranes for military uses such as hardened military facilities, shelters/construction, tent materials, clothing and HVAC support. In Phase I work, excellent, active transport of water vapor across membranes of typical configuration [CP~!@Au~!@~!@microporous-membrane-~!@Au] was observed. Typical changes in Relative Humidity ( Delta-RH), across just 12 cm^2, were 28% in 240 s and 40% at 600 s, for unoptimized membranes at ((-)3V), > 8 times the value at 0 V: The first demonstration of active water vapor electro-osmotic transport, to the best of published knowledge. CW-agent protection was also demonstrated. Comparative liquid transport studies showed electro-osmotic capacities two orders of magnitude larger than published studies. In Phase II, water vapor transport rates will first be maximized. Effective CBD-protection and physical/environmental durability will be incorporated and tested thoroughly. Membranes will be tailored, e.g. with different backings, for each application. Power requirements will be evaluated and minimized and control algorithms optimized. Production, hardware, manufacturing and commercialization issues will be evaluated.

Happiness Group
Update on Happiness GroupThe members of the "Happiness" group are very pleased to inform their Kiva lenders that their last Kiva loan was very helpful to their businesses and their personal lives. With the help of their recently repaid Kiva loan, they were able to add more inventory to their respective businesses. This led to an increase in sales and profit-to-sales margin. With the daily profit they made, they were able to look after their children including feeding, clothing, and sending the children to school. Having very successfully repaid the previous loan, they are requesting a new loan in order to add more inventory to their respective businesses. Doris will again use this loan to buy a larger quantity and variety of slippers and other shoes to sell.
Previous Loan DetailsDoris is the leader of this group of entrepreneurs. She was born about 32 years ago in Kamsay Tankoro, near Koidu city in Eastern Sierra Leone. She is married to a civil servant, and the couple has 4 children who are attending primary and secondary schools. For over 10 years now, Doris has been s...

About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I'm Robert, a semi-broke college student who has been on bikes since I can remember. Never really anything worth mentioning (Wal-Mart bikes), but I have loved riding them all the same. I just picked up an older Giant Rincon for $40, took it to a maintenance clinic and have been riding it around campus since. I'm looking at a road bike to use to get into shape and possibly even ride in a sprint triathalon.

Inhant's henchmen. Boone's "neighbor" on the pier (Chips Rafferty), gets
his lungs badly burned putting out a fire which destroys Boone's boat.
Rafferty, who
makes no attempt to act as if he is gasping for breath, asks Boone to put
him on Rafferty's boat and take him home to die. Rafferty's Aussie accent
is thick enough to spread on a cracker. When Boone arives at Kona Coast
(Rafferty's home), he
meets Rafferty's "sister" (Joan Blondell), who sounds closer to Yonkers
Sydney. Boone has never met Blondell before, but he know's the local
owner (Kent Taylor) as though they were old friends! Blondell runs a
retreat for reformed alcoholics, and one of her guests just happens to be
"old flame" of Boone (Vera Miles). Boone meets Miles at the tavern rather
than the retreat (I imagine, to save the number of shooting locations), and
the tavern owner seems
to know an awful lot about both Boone and Miles (?)
Of course, none of this has anything to do with solving the case. Not a
problem; Inhant, for some reason, considers Boone enough of a challenge to
come after him (!) exposing himself to the kind of public scrutiny even the
most daring
drug dealer wouldn't risk. After all, wouldn't Inhant's suppliers feel
"uncomfortable" providing "pharmasuticals" to a man this reckless?
Inhant's men don't carry any guns, and are pretty stupid to boot. So, of
course, Boone
prevails, makes a business partnership with Blondell, and revives a
noncommittal romance with Miles.
As bad as this movie is (And it is REALLY bad), I've wanted a VHS copy for
twenty years. The movie is fun, in a mean-spirited way. Boone is a
to watch; this man laughs and snarls with such gusto, you can't help but
like and respect
him; even when the script calls for him to do some incredibly stupid
and even when he is verbally abusive to Miles. Boone is a man you can
BELIEVE would take care of the "baddies." Despite the horrible shot
mismatches (closeups aren't even properly posed), KONA COAST is also
beautifully photographed, and has a more Hawaiian flavor than either HAWAII
5-0 or MAGNUM P.I. The young supporting cast of Hawaiians
Polynesians is attactive, if not particularly talented. And both Kent
Taylor and Joan Blondell make the most of their few scenes and cliched
characters. Shut off your brain, watch KONA COAST and enjoy.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Kona Coast is an all but forgotten relic of the late 1960's -- as are
the members of the cast, Richard Boone, Vera Miles, Chips Rafferty,
Joan Blondell, and Steve Ihnat. Several other reviewers have dismissed
it as abysmal trash: low budget, poorly scripted, edited, and directed.
The sound track is a period piece, and might have been lifted from an
episode of "Mannix." Surely, to the naive viewer, the story is moronic
and predictable, the music ridiculous (e.g., bongos erupting in every
action sequence), the sequencing choppy and disjointed. Until the
advent of DVD, it was virtually impossible to find an intact copy of
the film, and to date, only 7 people have written reviews of it for
But all of this misses the point. Kona Coast is high art, masquerading as trash.
In the opening sequence, we are treated to a sweeping panorama of the Pacific ocean as viewed from the boat of Captain Sam Moran (Richard Boone) -- the ship's wheel unattended until his bare foot lolls across it, steering in the most laissez-faire manner, as he reclines with a vintage bottle of Primo beer in his hand, laughing into the wind.
This scene is genius. So much is conveyed about the man: carefree, a wild and untamed soul, a free thinker and lover of life.
Each scene unfolds with a brutal frankness, abruptly, without logic or explanation -- so much like life itself. The rawness of this unpolished gem may appear to the naive viewer evidence of schlock; to the discerning student of film, this gut-wrenching directness, making the viewer uncomfortable, even disoriented, is the masterful work of a Fellini, or perhaps more accurately, an Ingmar Berman. The intensity of feeling is conveyed on a level too visceral to be transmitted on any rational basis.
Likewise, the use of minimal orchestration, a "1960's detective show" sound track punctuated by riveting bongo breaks during action sequences, keeps the viewer's mind distracted, so the viewer's raw psychic underbelly is left fully exposed to the powerful psychic impact of this confusing and at times disturbing masterwork.
Consider the complicated love triangle between Moran, Melissa Hyde (Miles), and the young girl infatuated with Moran, who eventually evolves into a surrogate for his slain daughter, but not until an uncomfortable Electra complex is played out between her and Moran. The tension -- sexual energy -- is palpable. In the scenes between Miles and Boone, watch closely for hinted-at but never shown sexual intensity.
The subtext to the film's surreality is of course Boone's long descent into alcoholism, which had all but claimed him by the time Kona Coast was made. Boone was a regular fixture in Kona in the 1960's; his swollen eyes, paunchy, scarred face, and whiskey baritone were for real. This gives the character of Moran a poignant realism. The viewer can not escape his hopeless, boozy ennui.
Vera Miles' Melissa also evokes a deep reaction: here at the height of her womanly allure, she is no ingenue, but a worldly woman constantly aware of the inescapable encroachment of old age and loneliness.
Also worthy of note is actor Steve Ihnat, who portrays the villainous drug lord, Kryder. Ihnat is given little to work with in Kona Coast, but he makes the most of it with an edge of demonic insanity that makes the viewer squirm. Devotees of the 1960's Star Trek series will find themselves waiting for him to scream, "LORD Garth!"
The action sequences are jarring, precipitous, irrational -- so much like the violence of life itself, absurd and exhilarating.
Most of all, this is an existential story. Sam Moran is a man confronted with the most terrible of losses: the death of his daughter, soon followed by the death of his best friend. His way of life and everything he believes in are suddenly in question. Every time he proclaims, "I'm Sam Moran. Who the hell are you?" -- (I lost count) -- he boldly reasserts his identity in the face of nothingness. Moran is the quintessential man of the 1960's: strong, independent, and absolutely free of doubt. He is a champion in man's struggle against nihilism.
Had this film been made in French or Swedish, it would have been heralded and remembered as a masterpiece. It is literally so bad that it is good. One might predict that with the advent of DVD and greater accessibility to the masses, Kona Coast will enjoy a renaissance, perhaps even achieving cult film status. Kona Coast is an unappreciated work of modern art.
Kona Coast is good drama fare One of the simplest movies to follow and get behind, allowing that you don't follow it too closely. Kona Coast stars Richard Boone (Have Gun, Will Travel) as crusty old Hawaiian fisherman Sam Moran whose daughter washes up OD'd on the beach. Forget the cops, Sam's gonna deal with the lily-livered punk who got his kid strung out. Unfortunately, his own boat is torched when he gets too close, critically injuring an old fisherman buddy of his. Now this old guy wants to die at home "Take me to Kona, Sam..." Using his buddy's crew of three young, distrustful hippie types,including a girl, who seem to be as surly as he is, Sam takes his friend, and his friends' boat to Kona Coast, which is kind of like the Long Beach of the islands; dirty, but people still party. Sam is enough of a thorn in the side of the new luau/drug king to get the guy's attention as he sends his thugs numerous times to mess him over. Sam Moran, it seems, makes friends easily, and enemies three times easier than that! I think it's because he takes a certain percentage of lip off of people. What's the percentage? Well, i'm not sure i got it exactly, but i think it's pretty near...ZERO, my friend. You cross this guy, he hurts your ass. No freakin' joke. He'll slap you, punch you, spank you and sometimes when he's telling you how worthless you are, you can FEEEL the booze on his breath. I have loved this film ever since i was a kid and i think that's one of the aspects i liked about it. He said what he meant, dam the consequences. Some jackass strung his daughter out and killed her. And this same jackass was now screwin' with him. Something definately has to give, and it does. When this baddie (played with comic evil flair by Steve Inhat)gets his, it just plays right. It's raw, it's real, and it makes us all feel better. Joan Blondell plays the sister of Sam's dead friend. I didn't like her in the movie as Sam's friend was from Australia with this thick as syrup accent and his sister was from Queens or something. Whatever. I did like Sam's love interest played by an actress whose name i can't remember. She whined a lot but i think i had a crush on her anyway. Nice hair. This movie is unavailable on video and will probably always be. A shame. It was VERRRY 60's and VERRRY islandy. If you have a copy of it or more info, write.
To the other reviewers here, I would add:
Cons: The dialog is contrived, the acting is poor, and the story is sophomoric. This all adds up to "hokey" as an apt description for this movie that must have escaped as opposed to being released. It's a miracle that Boone was even able to get Blondell and Miles to be in it. They must have needed to pay some bills.
There was one scene in which the goons hired by the bad guy beat him up next to a phone booth, and the police arrive not more than five seconds after he hits the ground! How's that for response by our boys in blue? What this adds up to is a hokey film, so save your time (and money if you thought of buying the DVD).
Pros: The scenery is nice. A lot has changed in the 40+ years since the filming of this movie, but those who have been to Kailua-Kona will recognize some of the views along Alii Drive.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
There's the potential for at least an entertaining thriller in this
Hawaiian set action drama, but unfortunately, mostly unlikable
characters line the tepid screenplay. Richard Boone may be alright as a
second lead or villain, but as a hero, he's totally unappealing. He's a
boatman whose illegitimate daughter reaches out to him in a
drug-induced state and leads him on a pointless chase to find her
killer. This leads him to brassy Joan Blondell (as the sister of a pal
who bequeaths him half interest in his fishing boat) and old flame Vera
Miles, as well as some stereotypical natives and a gay villain so
unlikable that gay audience members were most likely hissing him at the
few theaters that this probably played at.
There are some enlightening moments, particularly Blondell's admission that she's spent 30 years crying over a bottle which explains her initial hard demeanor. You know that underneath this blowzy dame lies a huge heart, and when she breaks down and smiles, it is the rising of the sun. Miles, also playing a recovering alcoholic, seems like she's slumming, a socialite whose past with Boone doesn't warrant re-exploring. He's actually quite verbally abusive to her, so it makes no sense that she would see anything in him unless she's in the market for further self-destruction. As for the gay villain, he's so flamboyantly evil, leading Boone on a final chase with prissy taunts that make Jack Cassidy and his pink poodle in "The Eiger Sanction" seem like Jack LaLane in comparison.
Just happened to wake up at 3am last night and went to watch satellite TV
try and get back to sleep and this came on. This film was so bad that it
was compelling viewing and as a result I couldn't get back to
A quite poor script, and dreadful acting by ALL concerned, but worst of all was the plot which has been explained by previous posters so I won't repeat it here. The film attempts to potray emotion and dignity and utterly fails - not even the funeral of one of the main characters made you care. The characters are completely devoid of any depth or meaning, and you really don't give a damn about what happens to any of them.
This unsold pilot screams "Bad 1960s TV" from the short-skirted,
beehive-haired go-go dancers to the music track, which sounds like a
collection of stings pulled out of the library for the NBC Mystery
Movies ("Columbo", "MacCloud" and "MacMillan and Wife"). It probably
was proposed for the package. Based on these criteria, you shouldn't
However the main cast goes through its paces as if they are doing something real and the Director of Photography, Joseph Lashelle, offers us many a dazzling image shot in gorgeous Technicolor. Is the sky anywhere that brilliant a blue? My advice is to turn off the sound and enjoy the pretty pictures.
Cheapjack theatrical production, filmed on Hawaiian locales, is underwritten and over-directed, with a camp-psychedelic opening that matches nothing else in the picture! Richard Boone plays a transportation skipper in Honolulu, searching for the persons responsible for making his estranged daughter a junkie and then dumping her body in the drink. Since the viewer is made well aware of what happened to the unfortunate girl, this amateur-detective melodrama offers not a hint mystery, only 'local color' and some stray brutality (and a gay-bitch villain). Executive produced by Boone, from John D. MacDonald's story (the uncredited "Bimini Gal"), though resembling nothing more than a failed TV-pilot. Supporting cast is extremely weak, with Kent Smith particularly tough to accept as a bearded tavern owner in a hep straw hat. * from ****
A man tries to bring the people responsible for his daughters death to
Kona Coast starts badly and just gets worse. Underpinning the whole sorry mess is Richard Boone a thoroughly unlikeable lead who spends a fair proportion of the movie dressed in an alarming yellow jacket and shorts. I have rarely seen as shockingly bad a lead performance as the one dished up by Boone in this film.
An incredibly lousy script, pathetic dialogue, an appalling soundtrack and shockingly lame unbelievable characters are just a few of the flaws hurled at the poor unsuspecting viewer.
I've seen a lot of films and rarely give a film 1/10 but this mess has absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. How I managed to sit through the full running time is anyone's guess. How this appalling garbage currently has a rating of 4.9 (76 votes) is a cause for concern.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
***SPOILERS*** Beautiful Hawaiian photography doesn't hide the fact
that the film "Kona Coast" is a dud or coconut with the coconut juice
drained out of it. Richard Boone is the salty hard drinking and living
Sam "The Man" Moran who takes it, life, as it comes without as much as
complaining about how both good or bad it is. That's until his
estranged teenage daughter Dee, Gloria Nakea, is found washed up on the
rocks dead of a drug overdose. Even though Dee had no use for him, he
deserted her and her mother when she was an infant, Sam made it his
business to track down the drug dealer who doped her up and make him
pay what what he did.
The story gets a bit lost when Sam's fishing boat is set on fire by playboy and drug pusher Kayder's, Steve Ihnat, thugs with his good friend Charlie Lightfoot, Chips Rafferty, ending up on his death bed in trying to put the flames out. Sam is given Charlie's own fishing boat the Kamai by his former alcoholic wife Kittibelle, Joan Blondell, to use as he wants until his damaged boat is repaired. We then have Sam spends almost the next half hour of running time,in the movie, to both wait for the near dead Charlie, who refuses to stay dead, to finally kick off and then give him a grand Hawaiian send-off at sea with about 20 of Charlie's friends being invited. If anything this great and boring event added enough time to the movie to qualify it to be, by being over 60 minutes in length, a made TV movie not a 45 minute episode, with commercials cut out, of Hawaii 5 O'.
Sam meanwhile gets battered around by Kaydea's goons to keep him from finding out the truth about not only who killed his daughter Dee but who's the top drug pusher on the island, Kaydea, and why he's immune from the local police. It's either because he's paying them off or their so stupid that they couldn't find a haystack in a needle instead the other way around. We do get a glimpse of Sam's shoddy past when he runs into at a local Kona bar an old flame of his Melissa Hyde, Vera Miles. Messila we learn is a recovering alcoholic who was brought back to sobriety at Kittibelle's free alcohol rehabilitation center on the island that's one of it's biggest tourist, who make up eh majority of those in it, attractions. Again were treated to what a heel Sam is by Missila digging up his past which is about as interesting as watching a blinding snowstorm in the Arctic Circle in total darkness!
***SPOILERS*** Finally and mercifully the movie comes to an end with the big shown-down between Sam "The Man" Moran & friends and the Kayder bumbling drug gang at the big rumble in the pineapple patch on and along the Kona Coast. As you would have expected Kayder and his boys were no match against Sam & Co. who ended up making pineapple preserve out of them. As well as making it possible with no worlds left for Sam & Co.to conquer, or roast pork and pineapples to eat, for the movie to finally come to an end.

FILE - In this Sunday January 20, 2013 file photo, Egyptian security forces arrest several protesters near a courthouse where six senior police officers were on trial for the deaths of protesters during the nation's 2011 uprising in Alexandria, Egypt. With near impunity and the backing of the Islamist president, Egyptian police have over the past week used excessive and often deadly force against protesters across much of the country, regaining their Mubarak-era notoriety as a tool of repression. With nearly 60 people dead and hundreds injured, police have re-emerged as a significant political player after spending the past two years on the sidelines.

Politicos Get Colorful After World Cup Vote
After Russia and Qatar won the 2018 and '22 World Cups, the politicians weighed in. Ivan Lewis, a British shadow secretary of state for sport, said England's loss coupled with its "poor performance" in this year's World Cup should lead to a "root and branch inquiry." Meanwhile, Arkady Dvorkovich, the chief economic aide of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, hailed Russia's win and highlighted one fear about the coming massive spending. "Victoryyyyyy! We'll be able to do so much useful for our children! Medicine and roads.…And let's do it without kickbacks," he wrote on Twitter.
Bowling Alleys: the New Chuck E. Cheese
What's with the kid bowling boom? The Bowling Proprietors Association of America partly attributes this year's 17% increase in participation among kids under age 14 to a bowling "curriculum" in 15,000 schools, in which they can set up carpets and pins in their gyms, or else get access to local alleys. Parents, meantime, seem to welcome the sport's relative safety, says BPAA's executive director, Steve Johnson. "You can't have kids go right out and play tackle football," he says.

Making Art Young
By LAUREL GRAEBER
Published: October 11, 2003
CHILDREN may be natural artists, but they are not always natural art lovers. Travelers often want to make an art museum one of their first stops in a new city, only to see their children yawn at Impressionist landscapes or declare, after a bored glance at an abstract canvas, that they can paint better. But museums know that young visitors can become passionate about art. It's all a question of relating the work to the children's experience, and many institutions nationwide have programs that do exactly that.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, for instance, is used to having traveling families ask if they can see the works in "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler,'' E. L. Konigsburg's novel about Jamie and Claudia, siblings who run away to - of all places - the Met. Last year, my own 8-year-old, Matthew, wanted to see the angel statue - thought to be a Michelangelo - in the book. After a random (and fruitless) search, we consulted members of the museum staff, who were nice enough not to roll their eyes and gently informed us that the Met had no Michelangelo sculptures.
But before Matthew could groan, they gave us an issue of their Museum Kids publication devoted to the novel - it even has an essay by Ms. Konigsburg - suggesting other ways to imitate Jamie and Claudia. Before long, Matthew and I were having an adventure of our own.
A pamphlet with a self-guided tour is only one way to introduce a school-age child to an art museum. Many institutions have an array of family activities. Usually included with admission (almost always reduced for children), these offer art in terms that a young visitor can appreciate, through a game, a creative workshop, or, yes, a good book. And most such programs are planned so that traveling families can easily drop in.
For example, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, (713) 639-7589 and on the Web at mfah.org , recently began Storytime tours on Sunday. A docent leads families to four or five works, stopping at each to read a related tale. A favorite introduction to African art is folklore involving Anansi the Spider, a trickster known for his great wisdom, said Beth B. Schneider, the museum's education director. Children can examine images of spiders on jewelry and on carved staffs of the Akan people of Ghana.
"They can lead into a discussion about why you would make art with spiders, and how we treat wisdom in society today," Ms. Schneider said. "It's also an introduction to symbols."
The Brooklyn Museum of Art, (718) 501-6230, www.brooklynmuseum.org , also draws on literature with Stories and Art, offered Saturdays year round by presenters ranging from musicians to children's-book authors. (Bruce Degen, illustrator of the "Magic School Bus" series, was a recent host.) Children listen to tales that relate to pieces in shows or the museum collection.
Children visiting the National Gallery of Art in Washington, (202) 842-6880 and nga.gov/kids , can look forward to literary and artistic adventures in Stories in Art, which combines a reading of a children's book with a gallery visit and an art project. On Oct. 26, for instance, children will hear "The Incredible Painting of Felix Clousseau,"' by Jon Agee, about a fictional artist whose canvases come to life. "We'll probably take the kids through the American galleries and have them imagine what would happen if some of those works came to life,"' said Nathalie Ryan, the museum's coordinator of youth and family programs.
At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, (617) 267-3300, mfa.org, "We're always thinking of what a visit to an art museum has that a Red Sox game doesn't," said Susan Longhenry, who directs the museum's public programs and knows her competition. One answer is drama. (O.K., baseball has its moments of theater, but not like this.)
The museum's Art Alive program, Saturdays from October to June, includes not only Books Bring Art Alive, a combination of stories, discussions and hands-on projects, but also monthly Art InterACTions by Underground Railway Theater members.
Recently, for instance, the troupe worked with "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" by John Singer Sargent. They selected girls from the audience, posed them like the young women on the canvas and then invented a conversation based on what the subjects might have been thinking.
On weekends from October to June and on Wednesday nights in the summer, families who want to explore the museum alone can pick up a free themed bag of puzzles, art materials and gallery guides. What child can resist a goody bag?
At the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, (202) 357-2700, www.asia.si.edu , artists in residence not only perform for children but also involve them in their work. Beginning this Saturday, young visitors to the museum's free Imaginasia family programs will watch the Nepali dancer Bhim Dahal introduce the same gestures and positions seen in the art in the exhibit "Himalayas: An Aesthetic Adventure,'' and take a class with Mr. Dahal.

Send In the Clones:
The Ethics of Future Wars
Clones can think creatively. You'll find they are immensely
superior to droids … They are totally obedient, taking any
order, without question. We modified their genetic structure to
make them less independent than the original host."
—LAMA SU, Prime Minister of Kamino
It's called Star Wars, and warfare is definitely a very bad thing, with loss of life, injury, and myriad other kinds of suffering. The toughest kind of ethical question is: When is it okay to do very bad things? When you're the good guys? Maybe that's true, but it's rather unhelpful. When God is on your side? Again, maybe true, but unhelpful. And anyway, isn't the Force with the bad guys as well, in a big way?
Two critical questions arise for the moral justification of warfare: when is it okay to engage in warfare, and how should you conduct yourself in warfare? It also matters, of course, how you conduct yourself after warfare. But overlooked in the standard approaches to the ethics of warfare is the question of how to recruit and treat your own combatants.
In Attack of the Clones, the Republic faces the prospect of war within its own ranks, as a separatist movement led by Count Dooku assembles a massive droid army. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine engineers a vote to counter the threat with an army of clones which happens to be ready and waiting on Kamino. A battle ensues, and Yoda grimly notes, "Begun, the Clone War has."

I'm struggling with UIDatePicker. I thought I could add it to my current view just as I would an ordinary subview, but it didn't appear. After some searching, I found documentation for putting it in a popover. I followed those instructions and got it to work on the iPad. But popovers don't work on the iPhone. What do I need to do to make it work there? Why can't I simply add it like a regular subview?
Here's my iPad code:
-(void)selectADate: (CGPoint)p
UIViewController* popoverContent = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; //ViewController
UIView *popoverView = [[UIView alloc] init]; //view
popoverView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
UIDatePicker *datePicker=[[UIDatePicker alloc]init];//Date picker
datePicker.frame=CGRectMake(0,44,320, 216);
datePicker.datePickerMode = UIDatePickerModeDate;
[datePicker setTag:10];
datePicker.date = self.displayedDate;
[datePicker addTarget:self action:@selector(pickerChanged:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[popoverView addSubview:datePicker];
popoverContent.view = popoverView;
UIPopoverController * popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:popoverContent];
self.datePopover = popoverController;
[popoverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 264) animated:NO];
CGRect popoverLocation = CGRectMake(p.x-160, p.y-200, 320, 216);
[popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:popoverLocation inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp animated:YES];//tempButton.frame where you need you can put that frame//
- (void)pickerChanged:(id)sender
self.displayedDate = [sender date];
[self showMonthContainingDate:[sender date]];
My screen is currently laid out as a sort of calendar page showing a month of days. Each day's sell is a subview. At the top of the screen is a header, which has information on the year, month, etc. When the user taps the header, the date picker appears, and the calendar page displays the month selected that corresponds to the date chosen in the picker with the day highlighted (that day's subview's background has a different color).
I'm not sure why I even need a popover, unless it is just to provide a blank view on which to place the date picker that is in front of the tiled views of my calendar page. But then shouldn't I be able to simply add it as a subview and then call bringSubviewToFront:? I tried that, but it didn't work on the iPad, hence my use of the popover.
I can get it to display if I add it when I add the other subviews, but I want it to display when I tap the heading. Here's my tap code:
- (IBAction)tap:(UITapGestureRecognizer *)sender {
//tap gesture recognizer
//Assume the user tapped on a day cell.
for (UIView *dayCell in self.view.subviews) {
if (CGRectContainsPoint(dayCell.frame, [sender locationInView:self.view])) {
//found the cell that was touched.
//NSLog(@"Found a view containing the touch with coords. %@",NSStringFromCGRect(dayCell.frame));
for (UIView *insideView in dayCell.subviews) {
for (UILabel *dayElement in insideView.subviews) {
//found a subview of the day cell.
if ([dayElement isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]]) {
NSLog(@"Found a subview %@",dayElement.text);
if ([dayCell isKindOfClass:[UILabel class]]) {
// This is the heading label.
UILabel * headingLabel = (UILabel *) dayCell;
if (CGRectContainsPoint(headingLabel.frame, [sender locationInView:self.view])) {
NSLog(@"The heading was tapped");
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
//iPhone code goes here
[self iphoneSelectADate:[sender locationInView:self.view]];
} else {
[self selectADate:[sender locationInView:self.view]];
Here is the currently nonworking iPhone code:
-(void)iphoneSelectADate: (CGPoint)p
UIDatePicker *datePicker = [[UIDatePicker alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, self.view.bounds.size.height - 216, 320, 216)];
[datePicker setDate:[NSDate date]]; //This is the default
[datePicker setHidden:NO];
[self.view addSubview:datePicker];
If I step through in the debugger, I see this code is executed, but the datepicker does not display.

I'm planning a 100 mile single day bike trip next month.
Weather's getting quite nice so why not?
I'll be on my Brompton S2L. I find it can handle moderate hills adequately so the two gears is all I need.
I have already ordered a seat bag and will order a Freepack Meta backpack to fit on the headtube block (I'll need to go to a machine shop to get a custom made adapter for a Klickfix brace).
Has anyone done a century on their folder? How was the experience. For my sake, I'd just like to do it for fun. I get a lot of interest from bystanders about my Brompton. I'd just like to be able to say: It did 100 miles on it!
I will.

Coat of arms of Donja Voća - Image by Željko Heimer, 29 December 2010
The coat of arms of Donja Voća is "Azure on a base vert a garb or ribboned gules in front of a rake in bend, a scythe in bend sinister above a spade between a plough and a harrow all argent".
This is based on the municipality seal of 1864, whose colored version is found in Laszowski's Grbovi Jugoslavije [lsv39], blazoned there simply as "Azure a garb between agricultural tools".
