Martin's "A Dance With Dragons," the latest installment in his "A Song of Fire and Ice" series; and Stephen King's "11/22/63," a popular and bestselling Kennedy assassination time-travel tale.
Tidhar is an Israeli-born writer who now lives in London. i09.com's Charlie Jane Anders described his novel as "a strange pulp-oriented alt history about Osama Bin Laden." »Read Full Blog Post(1)

I just had a day of search and couldn't figure out why a sub category menu didn't work on my test site. There are many places, including codex, where you can find code that should work. Problem is, you can't just make the sub category posts, catgorize and think you're good without adding hide_empty=0 in your query IF THE POSTS CONTAIN NO CONTENT. It will fail and you will get the WP error message "No categories". I hope this makes some sense to you. Here is code from this post that works for my testing without actual content in my sub category posts. Just add the "hide_empty=0":
<?php if(!in_the_loop()) global $post;
$catNow = get_cat_ID(single_cat_title($post->ID,'',false)); $output = '';
if($catNow && $catNow !== 0) $output .= wp_list_categories('hide_empty=0&echo=0&child_of='.$catNow.'&title_li=');
echo $output; ?>

I'll preface this with, if you know of a better way to do what I am trying to do, please tell me.
So, I have my login in my Layout (aka MasterPage) so that a user can login no matter what page they are on. (That I want to keep for sure) So, after they login successfully, I want to redirect them back to the page that they were on. I used Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri to get the URI and parsed out the Controller name and the Action name. A long with the Action name are the unknown number of URL variables, could be none, could be many. So, MVC3 does not like the variables passed along in the Action name. I got around this in other parts of my code by doing:
return RedirectToAction("Message", new { msg = "error" });
But, like I said, I do not know how many variables will be coming in, nor the names of the variables. Any suggestions?

Disagree. We are getting worse because we are drafting worse. Go back a page and look at all the top 20 Dmen taken after the 1st round. Guys that we could have taken in the 1st etc.... Look at all the euros we have drafted that haven't even panned out at the AHL level.
Yes I agree with you on the building through the draft should not mean we are 100% drafted players. In fact we have too many guys on our team that we drafted overall. 12-15 draftee's should be the max. The balance then picked up via trade/UFA which is becoming tougher overall. But just because something is tough doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing it....
So wait, your original argument was that we were relying too much on the draft, now you're saying that we didn't make the right picks, but then in the next paragraph you go back to drafting too much.
I don't think you even have any clue what it is you want to say.

Good morning, everyone.
P451 is exactly right. It's the trees coming down that will cause the worst damage out of the city. And the tornados that can come with the storm. I'm originally from the Catskills and it's very rural, just mountains of trees with small villages dotted through it. Houses are surrounded by trees, the roads are lined by trees. Power lines run through the woods from town to town in a number of places, which means getting to the downed lines will take longer.
Many people won't be prepared for days or weeks of no electric. I had to convince my sister to go out shopping last night for supplies, to fill up her gas tank, etc.. The mindset is it won't be bad, a day or two, tops, of no electric.

Before anyone asks what my doctor says, I don't have one. ĀWe just moved, things were crazy, and emotionally it was more of a problem to keep chasing after people than to just wait for baby to be ready... except now we're coming up on 42 weeks and I wasn't figuring on going that far over.
So I was 41 weeks on Tuesday. ĀI really really really really DON'T want to be induced, but absolutely nothing is happening. ĀStress, I think, because three weeks ago I was having some nice practice waves. ĀI just as badly don't want to get to 42 weeks, because the hospital I'm using won't even put you in a room with a tub after 42 weeks, and so help me I'm going to use a damn tub if I have to lock myself in the bathroom to get it. ĀIt's also Thanksgiving, and if I go in anytime during the next 2-3 days, it's going to be an insane madhouse in the ER, plus I get stuck with the poor low schmuck on the totem pole who got stuck working the holiday weekend.
I'm thinking Sunday evening/early Monday morning, though that's closer to 42 than I really wanted to get. Ā
I'm just getting to the point where I am sick of being pregnant, tired of hearing "so is he here yet????" every time I so much as flicker online or answer the phone, and I want to meet my son. ĀI'm tired, I hurt, and I'm more than a little scared about what I'm likely to face at the hospital when they find out I'm going on 42 weeks.
I know they're likely to want to jump straight to a pitocin induction, which I would really prefer to avoid, as I know they have other options, but I'm having trouble finding information on said options, so points to bring up/things to suggest would be helpful.

It's not often Soviet rocket scientists are mentioned in an automotive context, but the subject came up recently on the sidelines of the Rus...
You might be forgiven for thinking the Russian Federation was at the edge of an economic precipice at the moment, facing a potential avalanche of catastrophic bad news that even for this battle-hardened country is especially daunting.
Despite some small recovery in the oil price of late, adding a few pence, cents or centimes back onto a litre of fuel at the pumps, the crash in the price of the black stuff has been nothing short of spectacular during the last few months.
One of the aspects that genuinely surprised me about the recent visit to Russia organised by Renault and AvtoVAZ was the almost complete absence of trade union antagonism to restructuring.
Only a few years ago, the vast, sprawling factory that is home to AvtoVAZ in Togliatti, apparently accounted for a staggering one in seven of the population in this central western city in Russia.
Latest Interviews
Marcus Osegowitsch is general director, Volkswagen Group Rus and Simon Warburton caught up with him on the sidelines of this year's Russian Automotive Forum organised by Adam Smith Conferences in Moscow.
GAZ Group parent Russian Machines, claims CNG is the cheapest of commonly used motor fuels, with costs per 100km almost 60% lower than for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It also says CNG is more than twice as cheap as a diesel-powered car and 2.5 times lower price than a gasoline vehicle. Russian Machines CNG project executive director, Peter Zolotarev, spoke to Simon Warburton from the company's Yaroslavl plant about the possibility of using the gas in the country and some of the infrastructure challenges associated with it.
Latest News
GAZ Group's component division says it is not enough just to drive down cost, but that product lines need to diversify in order to generate new business.
GAZ Group says it has expanded its cooperation with Daimler and begun the production of stamped body parts for Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans. The first stamped parts have already been shipped to the GAZ Mercedes assembly line that makes Sprinter vans.
GAZ Group says it has started sales of GAZelle NEXT vehicles in Serbia.
Yaroslavl Fuel Systems Plant of GAZ Group has developed a full range of Euro-5 compliant high-pressure fuel pumps for a Common Rail system.
GAZ Group owner, Oleg Deripaska refutes the commonly-held view Russia is gripped by crisis, but acknowledges the myriad challenges the country faces.
Russian producer, GAZ Group says it has "supplier visibility" down to Tier 3 level and even further as it looks to leverage the possibly short-lived advantage of a rouble under pressure.
GAZ Group parent, Russian Machines says "not one rouble" is wasted in the company as it continues its efficiency moves to drive down costs in the business.
Mercedes-Benz says it will not produce more Sprinter vans in Russia than the market demands as partner GAZ also acts cautiously in the current volatile economic environment.
Sberbank and GAZ Group have signed a general agreement on cooperation in foreign markets.
GAZ Group says it is constantly evaluating its supplier base as a depreciating rouble provides genuine opportunity to capitalise on what otherwise is a bleak Russian economic position.
GAZ Group says it aims to achieve RUB5bn (US$93m) in cost savings this year as it prepares to launch its new full metal van based on the Gazelle Next chassis.
Mercedes-Benz Vans Russia's supply quality control unit says it does not make sense to "go in and out" of the troubled market, which is currently beset by myriad challenges stemming partly from international disapproval of what many see as Moscow's actions in Eastern Ukraine and de facto annexation of Crimea.
GAZ Group's supply division is welcoming the rouble depreciation as a genuine business opportunity but noted it had to submit its tender to manufacture for its parent in just the same way as any other competitor.
GAZ Group's parent estimates the bottom may have been reached of plummeting passenger and light commercial vehicle sales in Russia but concedes the government will likely have to keep stepping in with incentive programmes.
Mercedes-Benz Vans Russian assembler GAZ has built its 10,000th Sprinter Classic (previous generation model) 18 months after production began in September 2013 in Nischni Nowgorod.
Automotive unions as well as labour confederations have met in Moscow to discuss Global Framework Agreements (GFA) with a view to gaining experience on their potential implementation in Russia.
GAZ Group says despite the potential for yet more crises in the Russian market, it is aiming for the same level of investment this year.
GAZ Group says the current rouble devaluation allows it to take advantage by competitively exporting commercial vehicles with improved warranties compared to similar foreign products.
Russian automaker, GAZ Group says it "must be" selling 30% of its production to non ex-Soviet Union countries in three years as the organisation looks to take advantage of a depreciating rouble.
General Motors said it would "change its business model in Russia" by axing Opel, scaling down Chevrolet to premium US-made imports and closing two production facilities.
GAZ Group is remaining tight-lipped surrounding speculation it has requested RUB25bn (US$403m) in guarantees from the Russian State.
GAZ Group has signed a distribution agreement with Eastern European company, Verano Motors, to sell GAZelle Next light commercial vehicles in Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It became clear to me just why the Russians were so twitchy about letting any old foreigner in to Nizhny Novgorod until around 1992, after talking to GAZ CEO, Vadim Sorokin from his eyrie on the 14th floor of the automaker's HQ in the same city this week.

On the streets of Homs, where three Syrians were killed yesterday just as soon as a visiting UN humanitarian delegation had left, the crowd sang out their joy at the imminent fall of another Arab dictator with the expectation their own would soon follow.
"Al Qadaffi tar tar! Isha dorak ya Bashar!" which roughly translates as "Qadaffi flew Away! Your turn is next Bashar!" As they marched through the street the crowd of hundreds chanted out, "God damn your soul Hafez!" referring to Syria's former dictator, Hafez al-Assad.
Things just don't seem to be going Bashar al-Assad's way. No sooner had he gone on state-run Syria TV for a scripted interview, the exact content of which had been revealed earlier by Syrian journalist Sami Moubayed, see here, but Libya's rebels had stormed Tripoli and the 42-year rule of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, one year longer than the Assad family's rule over Syria, was coming to a swift end.
"As long as Qaddafi held on, the Syrian regime took comfort and felt it had a free hand to do as he wanted without fear of the international community, which had its plate full with Libya," said a pro-democracy dissident in Damascus, quoted in The National.
"Now that Qaddafi is finished, Syria will be the focus for the Arab Spring and international pressure," he continued. "That means those calculations [by the Syrian regime] will have to change; Assad has more reason to worry now than he did two days ago, the end is drawing closer."
Assad's latest televised address, the fourth since the popular uprising against him began, contained no words of regret for the crackdown by his security forces which an emergency session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva said on Monday has now killed over 2,200 people. Assad did, however, seek to give succor to supporters who view him as a committed reformer.
By the end of this week, he said, it would be allowed for political parties to register in expectation of parliamentary elections in February 2012.
Other political parties already exist in Syria, such as the Syrian Social Nationalist Party, responsible for beating anti-Assad protestors in Lebanon, and a few very tired Communist and Arab socialist parties. But all parties in Syria must commit to the strictures of the National Progressive Front (NPF) of which the ruling Baath Party is the largest member.
Assad gave no details as to whether the proposed opening up of Syria to multi-party politics would involve the dissolution of the NPF but he did say that there would be no imminent cancellation of the amendment to Syria's Constitution, made when the Baath Party seized power in a military coup in 1963, that assures the Baath the right to be the "leading party of state and society".
How other political parties in Syria could contest an election where the winner is constitutionally guaranteed to be the ruling Baath regime certainly raises some doubts over just how far the dictatorship is willing to move towards democracy.
Indeed, one of the last big concessions Assad made, legalizing the right for Syrians to hold protests, was dramatically shown up as an empty gesture when a Kurdish lawyer, Fadel Salim Faisal, was detained by Airforce security after requesting permission to hold a protest in the north-east city of Hassake.
For the official run-down of the president's interview, see SANA, here.
Moubayed, a Syrian historian and editor of Forward magazine who is familiar with regime thinking, writes in today's Asia Times that contrary to the jubilant scenes in Homs, the Syrians he speaks to are now concerned that NATO's apparent success in helping oust Libya's dictator could, contrary to the consensus among diplomats and political analysts, increase the likelihood of a military intervention in Syria.
"Having succeeded in Libya, NATO might now rethink its options on Syria, where pressure has been growing from the international community for President Bashar al-Assad to step down," writes Moubayed.
"Internationalizing the Syrian crisis militarily has to date not been on many minds in Syria - until now. Few on the Syrian street and within the opposition have contemplated any kind of foreign intervention, claiming that political escalation and sanctions headed by the Barack Obama White House is one thing, an armed attack by NATO quite another."

Does everything I need it to. The default scroll bar control is simple and elegant in design but can be easily altered with CSS (there is no back-end user interface which is fine for me).
Only three issues that make it 4 stars instead of 5:
width:100% !important because their width seems to only be calculated on page load and not when the browser resizes. Height is also not updated when the window is resized. I can work with this but it isn't ideal.
Be careful this
plugin "VR jScrollPane Shortcode" is not the same as "WP-jScrollPane"
This plugin "VR jScrollPane Shortcode" usage is very easy!!!
You need only this plugin: "VR jScrollPane Shortcode"
Good user manual, good video tutorial!
Thanks, for the author!
Its awesome plugin really works great............

Time for Autumn Clean Up!
When it comes to preparing my house for the influx of relatives and friends that are coming over to feast for the holidays, I am totally meticulous in my cleaning ritual. I clean things that during the rest of the year might not get the attention it deserves, like the top of cabinets and the cabinets under the sink.
It's not that I think people will stand on a step stool to check how my dust bunnies are faring on top of the cabinets, and I don't envision the kitchen sink cabinet being opened up long enough for anyone to notice the ring of dish-washing liquid that *may* be there from when the bottle tipped over, but you just never know.
I use a lot of Kimberly-Clark wipes during this time. LOTS. I would probably be shot by an activist group that monitors such things as amount of disposable paper-towel type things, but in my defense, it's only twice a year that I do this. And I support all efforts to sustain the environment, just sayin'. But I love me some WypAll's.
I also used Kimwipes on all my electronics and even everyone's eyeglasses and sunglasses. They are especially made for delicate jobs like that, and I don't want anything messing up my TV and computer screens! They are also great for smartphones and tablets. In my kitchen, I use the X80 foodservice towels. Nothing really beats the absorbency when it comes to drying dishes and utensils and getting them seriously dry. Good luck with your own holiday cleaning!
It's Flu Season! Be Prepared!
They are sounds we're all familiar with this time of year- snuffling, sneezing coughing…and we all run in the opposite direction from where the sounds are emanating. That is definitely not something that you want to be around, and you find that you're donning rubber gloves just to hand paperwork to your afflicted co-workers. That's right folks, its flu season!
I'm not going to inundate you with statistics of how many fatalities are attributed to flu every year, or even how many people are diagnosed; you've been around the flu season block before and have heard it all at least once. As your friendly neighborhood blogger, I did want to mention a few things you can do to prevent getting the flu yourself. Which is just basic self-preservation at its base, right?
The flu shot is the first defense in your flu season arsenal. Second is hand sanitizer, but that one comes with a caution label – use too much, and you run the risk of catching EVERYTHING that comes down the pike because you've lost most of your natural resistance to bacteria and viruses. Next up is antibacterial soap and you really have to use it. A good rule of thumb to follow when washing your hands is to sing "Happy Birthday". That gives enough time for the soap to work. Just make sure to sing it to yourself, not out loud or else you'll get strange looks.
Other steps you can take are medical masks, over the counter immunity boosters, gloves, and hazmat suits…okay, well maybe not those. Carry tissues so that you don't sneeze into the air, and as a handy catcher's mit for those explosive coughs.Point is, do what you can to avoid getting sick, so that you don't lose work, get your family or co-workers sick, or contribute to a world-wide pandemic of epic proportions.
Office Gift Exchange Ideas
With the holidays in full swing, many offices are having gift exchanges and there is usually a monetary amount to adhere to, so what to buy? Especially if you don't know who is going to get the gift! Why buy a bottle of wine when there is a chance that it'll go to the office teetotaler? How awkward would THAT be? I'm facing that same dilemma, and found some really great gift ideas at sortingwithstyle.com, in the interest of brotherly eCommerce love. I'm especially fond of the Executive Decision Maker and the Genius Paperweight. The Hulk Flash Drive, however, is all ours!
What To Get For The Person Who Has Everything?

Wacky Wednesday December Trivia!
Ahh, December! I know it's not technically here yet, but I'm going to be as obnoxious as hearing Christmas music before Halloween and bring it up anyway! Regardless of religion, there is an excitement in the air beginning in November because everyone knows that December is on its way. Songs start to fill the air and lights are put on display, whether they are for Christmas, Hanukkah, or other December-celebrated holidays.
December means snow, snow ball fights, holiday break, family gatherings and many other things that make the holiday special. Families drive through neighborhoods looking at light displays, winter carnivals are abundant, and wrapping parties are just another reason to gather together and have a good time. Enjoy your December, and read on for some fun!
- The Big Socio-Cultural/Religious Holidays celebrated during December include: the Christian Christmastide, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and the Islamic Ramadan.
- December 3rd is Let's Hug Day.
- In December of 1803 the Louisiana Purchase took place and France sold us a big ol' chunk of land.
- December 6th is the day many people celebrate the patron Catholic saint of children and pawnbrokers — St. Nicholas.
- The Charles Dickens classic story 'A Christmas Carol' was 1st published in December 6, 1843.
- In the original poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" (now called "The Night Before Christmas"), the reindeer names "Donner" and "Blitzen" were actually "Dunder" and "Blixem". There is a mystery as to who the author of "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" is, but it's agreed that the original author was Dutch, as Dunder and Blixem are the Dutch words for thunder and lightning. When it was reprinted 15 years after it was originally composed, the spellings were changed to Donder and Blitzen. The common mispronunciation Donner is just due to some carolers back in the day singing it incorrectly, much like we do with many songs of the day.
- December 17th was known for centuries, as the beginning of the Roman/Pagan Saturnalia Festival, held in honor of the God of Agriculture.
- December 21st marks the beginning of the Winter Solstice (Yule) in the Northern Hemisphere of the world.
- True Story: Festivus is now actually considered a holiday, celebrated on December 23rd. The Show About Nothing (Seinfeld) just keeps on giving…
- Although Santa Claus is now widely considered secular (people from all religions leave cookies or some other offering to him on Christmas Eve and expect gifts), he did start his life as a Catholic Bishop known for donating all his considerable wealth to the poor. The current image that we have of Santa and his elves evolved from that original poem "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" which combined Christian and Pagan elements (and had different reindeer names), including a saint-like man and his magical elves and reindeer.

Start Your Shipping Engines!
So, if you aren't a procrastinator like I am, you already have a good amount of holiday gifts already purchased, and maybe even wrapped. That's great (even though I'm slightly jealous) and you should be very proud of yourself! It takes forethought and planning to be ahead of the holiday shopping insanity, and my hats off to you! Now you have to ship stuff to relatives and friends that live out of state (or out of the country) and we can help you simplify that process!
If you're like me (and you're probably not. You've already got your shopping done and mine isn't even started), when you go to the mailing store or the post office, you need boxes and labels to ship your packages in, and usually end up paying a mint to do just that! Again, with a little bit of planning, you can have all your shipping needs right at your house!
We have a full line of boxes, packing material, tapes, and even shrink wrap. We even have postal scales so you can know before you get to the shipping depot of your choice what your package weighs and how much it will cost! Who likes going to the post office, thinking that your package will cost one amount to ship it, only to find it's much more than that?
At this time of year, it's always best to be as prepared as possible, and having the right supplies on hand can prevent a lot of headaches. Stock up on shipping supplies and you'll never have to pay inflated prices at the post office or shipping store again!

These were very good and easy to make. The big difference this time was using coconut oil for shortening. Great flavor with the coconut oil! It was too dark to take any decent photos of the tortillas however. Served with the requisite beans and rice of course! Prepared for Best of 2014. Thanks for posting the recipe!
Good and easy. I tried to make them with gluten free flour and the consistency wasn't quite right and I couldn't get them in a good circle but they tasted great. Made quesadillas.
I was surprised at how easy these were to make...the hubby raved about them...I cut the recipe in half for the two of us and made 5 nice tortillas...I will be making these again...made for..."For your consideration" tag game...=)
Day by day I'm amazed by the new things I learn to make on the zaar. Without it I wonder what was I going to eat? Great recipe,especially for someone who never made it before. I left it to rest for 30 minutes and I remembered after 3 hours. The hardest part is to make them round. I cut mine with the lid of a plastic container,but still I couldn't manage a perfect circle. DD liked it so much,she forgot to eat her lunch.I was really missing quesadillas.I'll be making a lot of Mexican dishes now.Thanks for sharing.
These were very good but they didn't look so good. They didn't look like the ones in the photos and I couldn't get them to get bigger than 8", even though I was making the 10" ones. I would love to know what to do about that, because I would really like to make them a little better. I have to give them 5 stars though for taste and they were awesome with the enchilada recipe that I made. Thanks!!!
I was making Crock Pot Shredded Beef Burritos on 4/5/09 and needed some tortillas and remembered seeing this recipe. So, I decided to give it a try. And I'm very glad I did :). Even though the directions are a little long, it was a very easy recipe to make.I did however have a bit of trouble getting them in perfect circle, but that won't stop me from making them again. :). I don't use tortillas that often, but when I do this is what will be used. Thanks so much for posting and,"Keep Smiling :)"
Made these tortillas almost 10 days ago & totally forgot to post the review! We use tortillas a lot around here, so I found this recipe to be ABSOLUTELY GREAT both for taste & for savings in the wallet! Will be making these gems often ~ Many thanks for a great recipe keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my Vegetarian partners in the current Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap]
I really went outside my comfort zone here. Breads, pies, tortillas and most baking are not for me. But boy am I glad I tried your recipe. The ingredients are simple and instructions are clear. Thank you. Not only are these saving us money, but they taste soooo much better than store bought. I never realized store bought tasted so stale until I tried fresh. Thanks for sharing your recipe, I'll definitely be making this again!
Great recipe that produced a nice tortilla. The 'resting' is key here! Great directions and great recipe!
Merci Karen for saving my pennies too! I can buy tortillas in France, but they are VERY expensive and these were 100% better IMO!! The recipe was easy to follow and although they take some time to make - I made myself a cuppa and put on my favourite music - c'est parfait! I used a mix of wholemeal/wholewheat flour with white flour, about 3/4 white to 1/4 wholemeal. I managed to get 10 tortillas out of this mix - I have put 8 in the freezer and plan to use 2 later on today! A great find, along with your refried beans, I am set up for Mexian recipes now! Made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #20 - a KEEPER! FT:-)

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
Matt Zoller Seitz is the Editor-in-Chief of RogerEbert.com, TV critic for New York Magazine, the creator of many video essays about film history and style, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in criticism, and the author of The Wes Anderson Collection. His writing on film and TV has appeared in The New York Times, Salon, New York Press, The Star-Ledger and Dallas Observer. (Banner illustration by Max Dalton)
The following is Scout Tafoya's latest entry in "The Unloved," a series about artistically interesting movies that, for whatever reason, didn't get a fair shake on first release. Scout's latest video essay considers the fate of "Ishtar", Elaine May's 1987 comedy, which deserves the adjective "epic" for its sheer scale, but doesn't wear it well because it's so intimate and sweet.
Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman starred in this overscaled contemporary version of a Bob Hope-Bing Crosby "Road" movie about a couple of lounge musicians who get mixed up with the CIA in a mythical Middle Eastern country. Like other films spotlighted in this series, "Ishtar" is a hybrid of different genres and has a tone somewhat at odds with its visuals. That's a source of a lot of the movie's humor—it's fun to watch two hapless dopes wander through May's elegantly framed panoramas—but it's arguably the wellspring of its commercial failure as well. Audiences generally don't like to have to feel their way through a fresh response to a movie that isn't exactly as advertised. They'd rather be told what to think, or that they don't have to think: that the movie is worthy of ridicule sight-unseen.
In the months leading up to release, there were stories of the movie's "out-of-control" budget (in reality, many 1987 films were more expensive, and most of them far less intriguing) and prognostications of a flop that would destroy all involved. The negativity added up to self-fulfilling prophecy. Who knows how it might've done if it had simply opened, without all that intensely focused, weirdly selective bad press? "Ishtar" proved influential in one respect: it gave the mainstream media a template for how to bleed a idiosyncratic Hollywood film to death, one paper cut at a time, before it had a chance to open and be fairly judged. I've heard movie producers say of peculiar, personal, journalistically harpooned big-budget movies: "It got Ishtarred." -- Matt Zoller Seitz

Police Say the Catt Family Robs Banks Together, and Now They Get to Stay Together, in Jail.
Abby Catt: Alleged getaway driver lists herself as "Pink Girl" at Victoria's Secret Pink.
A Katy father and his adult son and daughter have all been charged with bank robbery, and police believe that the family team might have knocked over as many as six other banks in Oregon and Texas.
Ten days ago police arrested 50-year-old Ronald Scott Catt, his 20-year-old son Hayden Scott Catt, 20, and Hayden's 18-year-old sister, Abigail "Abby" Catt.
Police say Hayden and Ronald entered the 1st Community Credit Union at 23100 Cinco Ranch Blvd. on November 1 wearing orange traffic vests and dark shades and carrying guns. The elder Catt also wore a painter's or surgical-style mask while his son disguised himself further with a fake mustache.
(No word on whether the faux facial hair was ironic, but the Catts did come here recently from Portland...) Abby Catt allegedly drove the getaway car.

In August, two men wearing similar disguises robbed a Comerica Bank at the Katy Freeway and Fry Road, and police think the Catts were responsible. Police also claim to have found surveilliance video from a Home Depot showing the Catt men purchasing the vests and masks, the cops believe that the family team might have robbed five banks in the Portland area before moving to Texas.
(Oddly enough, a team of alleged Texan thieves was recently caught burglarizing the homes of wealthy Indian-Americans in Portland and bringing back their gold and jewels to Houston. Is there some kind of Houston-Portland Thief Exchange Program going on?)
On her Facebook page, Abby Catt claims to be a Pink Girl at Victoria's Secret Pink in Katy, and on November 3, she had this to say:
"The interstate is going to eat your smart car."
Later that same day, she was more effusive and optimistic about her future:
"awh finally got the job interview i wanted! man im workin my way up to big $$!! so proud of myself ever since i moved to tx. we all have so much potential, some jus need to decide what they are going to do with all of it! there is great things out there, go and find it!"
Scott Catt, Abby's Harley-riding dad, recently attended Galveston's Lonestar Rally, which he assessed as "Fuckin' crazy."
Hayden and Scott Catt were taken to Fort Bend County Jail, where their bonds were set at $140,000 each. Abby Catt's was set at $100,000.

@3: Actually, I'm like eight times ahead of that. I'm already ready for the fake reviews under real names just to throw everybody off the scent. Obviously, the easiest way to spill the Secrets is to post on Slog.
Sweet. This would SIFF into a position of being forced to kill one of their most popular and long running events, one that benefits festival regulars most of all.
Looking to something to pad your resume, Annie, for when MoDo retires from the New York Times?
Oh, calm now. All SIFF has to do is remove the "review this movie" feature from the Secret page.
I have never seen anything interesting (or good) at the Secret Festival. Is it just my bad luck?
@6: No, it's not just you. A long-time festival-goer convinced me to attend the Secret Festival for two years running, and I think I saw ONE decent movie the whole time. The rest was a collection of absolute crap, movies shown just slightly before the release date, and films that were already at Scarecrow.
The Secret of the Secret Festival is that it totally, totally sucks.
I saw three really great films at previous Secret Festivals. But, yeah, some of them really really suck.
So Will, what were they?
We can always count on Ace Reporter Annie to find an ingenious new way to piss on the parade.
Or are they still a secret?

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
Graphic novels | The 70th volume of Naruto topped the June BookScan graphic novel charts, followed by Alison Bechdel's Fun Home and the 23rd volume of The Walking Dead. The rise up the chart by Bechdel's celebrated 2006 memoir can probably be chalked up to its musical adaptation, which opened in January on Broadway and earned five Tony Awards. [ICv2]
Conventions | Lisa Halverstat rounds up some facts about Comic-Con International, including the number of attendees at the first Comic-Con (100), the number of scheduled events (2,040) and the amount of money con-goers are expected to spend in San Diego ($80.4 million, or $619 per person). [Voice of San Diego]
Digital comics | Financial-services company The Motley Fool touches upon how digital has helped to boost the comics industry, rather than undermine print sales as some predicted it would. "Digital has not to anyone's observation pirated the sales of comics. It looks like just the opposite," writer and charts-watcher John Jackson Miller tells the website. And then, because it's The Motley Fool, the story veers off into what investors can learn from digital comics — specifically, "three forces [that] conspired to transform digital from a threat into a catalyst": quality, format and access. [The Motley Fool]
Creators | Brian K. Vaughan talks about producing the CBS sci-fi thriller Under the Dome and writing Saga as well as his digital comic The Private Eye. His take on Saga: "I definitely wanted to write about the experience of fatherhood and parenthood while also recognizing that's extremely boring for most people. How do you talk about these mundane topics in an exciting way? Hopefully setting this story in a wacky sci-fi fantasy universe has given us room to tell this story with some visual spectacle and just Fiona Staples being awesome." [USA Today]

Have used this now for several years. Great for bladder health. Helps make the inside of the bladder lining "Like a Teflon coating" so sticky bacteria can NOT adhere! Keep in stock please.
I've had problems with acid reflux for some time now, and I highly recommend this product for GERD. Marshmallow root works as an emulcent and protects the stomach and esophagus from acid reflux. Take it shortly before every meal, and your acid problems will clear up. While it does not dilute or neutralize acid, it will help your body repair the damage caused by excess acid. And you can't beat the price from iHerb.

Don't get any big results. Bought them because marshmallow root can heal the leaking gut, but see no changes on my son. Will keep using, hope for more results soon!
Great product

no nasties
Posted by Reviewer3213560 on May 18, 2016
always on the lookout for products which do not contain fillers etc, and this has nothing but marshmallow in it. I tip the contents out of the capsule anyway, Marshmallow is a cooling herb soothing to the stomach and also helps with coughs. This one does the job admirably.
Great Product
Posted by funkydharma on May 16, 2016
I had been taking Marshmallow Root as a tea when I found something on the internet that suggests that it's soothing properties are destroyed by heat. So I started taking these capsules and they have really helped my constipation and are amazing for indigestion and heartburn. The only Drawback with Marshmallow root is that it inhibits the absorption of medication taken 3 hours before or after taking the Marshmallow.
Really works for me.
Posted by 5238069423211949744 on May 12, 2016
I do have problems with my stomach frequently so I took medicine like Omeprazole ( is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid) which is very expensive. Upset stomach, gas bloating, heartburn & when I know I'll be eating something which will affect my stomach, l take 2 capsules before. But in very rare last resort when feeling really in bad condition I took back my origin capsules.

The Honda S2000 Modulo Climax has been revealed ahead of its Tokyo Auto Salon debut later this month. Despite the fact that the S2000 is no longer on sale, Honda has allowed Modulo, its official aftermarket parts and accessories manufacturer, to give its evergreen roadster a cosmetic overhaul.
Honda describes the S2000 Modulo Climax as "featuring cutting-edge aeroform design and a chic interior." The show car is not mechanically modified, so retains the same high-revving 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine that appealed in the regular S2000.
The S2000 Modulo bodykit includes a redesigned front bumper, which includes a chrome strip which runs across it, a heavily sculpted rear bumper, and a pair of winglets on the bootlid. Inside, the interior has been given some black and burgundy leather trim.
Alongside the special S2000, Honda will also show tuned versions of its tiny N-ONE kei car that's sold in Japan and uprated versions of the CR-V SUV and CR-Z hybrid, the latter tuned by Honda's performance arm Mugen.

This is the second time in only a few short months that a group of undocumented immigrants, who lived part of their lives in the United States, attempted to bring attention to the 1.7 million-plus people who had been deported during President Obama's first term in office.

Enhanced Automatic Noise Removal Platform for Broadcast, Forensic, and Mobile Applications
We present new enhancements and additions to our novel Adaptive/Automatic Wide Band Noise Removal (AWNR) algorithm proposed earlier. AWNR uses a novel framework employing dominant component subtraction followed by adaptive Kalman filtering and subsequent restoration of the dominant components. The model parameters for Kalman filtering are estimated utilizing a multi-component Signal Activity Detector (SAD) algorithm. The enhancements we present here include two enhancements to the core filtering algorithm, including the use of a multi-band filtering framework as well as a color noise model. In the first case it is shown how the openness of the filtered signal improves through the use of a two band structure with independent filtering. The use of color noise model on the other hand improves the level of filtering for wider types of noises. We also describe two other structural enhancements to the AWNR algorithm which allow it to better handle respectively dual microphone recording scenarios and forensic/restoration applications. Using an independent capture from a noise microphone the level of filtering is substantially increased. Furthermore for forensic applications a two/multiple pass filtering framework in which SAD profiles may be fine tuned using manual intervention are desirable.

Serve these mini tomato and mozzarella skewers in individual glasses as an appetizer at a seated dinner party, or arrange on a platter for your buffet.
Makes 8 appetizer servings
Recipe Time
1. Thread 1 tomato half, 1 piece of cheese, and another tomato half onto each skewer. Place skewers in a shallow serving dish.
2. Whisk together oil and next 3 ingredients. Drizzle oil mixture over skewers; sprinkle with basil and salt and pepper to taste.
*1 (8-oz.) package fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, may be substituted.
**Wooden picks may be substituted.
Grape tomatoes vary in size from week to week at the grocery store; some pints we found had only 24 while others had more than 40. Good news, you should still have enough mozzarella balls because they are generally sold in 8-oz. containers that have more than enough.

There must be a good reason why Java designers didn't allow any state to be defined in interfaces . Can you please throw some light on this aspect of design decision ?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

An interface is a contract specifying what its implementer promises to be able to do. It does not need to specify state because state is an implementation detail and only serves to constrain implementers in how this contract is fulfilled. If you want to specify state you might want to rethink you use of interfaces and look at abstract base classes instead.
Because interfaces are meant to specify an abstraction.
A good abstraction should be as simple as possible, which means specifying as little as possible about implementation details. State is an implementation detail, and as such shouldn't be included in your abstraction.
Java designers therefore made a pretty good decision to avoid including state in interfaces.
Alternatives to consider if you ever feel like that you want state in an interface:
An interesting video on this topic is "Simple made easy" by Rich Hickey. They key point is that if you mix things together that should be kept separate, you get into a mess.....
An interface by its nature is simply a specification of what an object should look like, by its very definition it doesn't have state, its not just java its any language.
Because with state it would have been an abstract class; and since there is multiple inheritance allowed for interfaces => Java would have supported full multiple inheritance => diamond problem.
Just adding - an interface, by definition, doesn't have state. That's the definition of what an interface is, and if it had state then it wouldn't be an interface any more.
If you need to use state then an interface is the wrong tool for the job you want to do. Maybe you'd be better off asking another question (and maybe on SO itself rather than here) describing exactly what the problem you're encountering that is causing you to ask this question is, and you may get more help in finding a solution.

COATESVILLE Ś Chester County Blue Star Mothers, a nonprofit organization serving active members of the armed forces, veterans and the families of those who died in combat, had its charter revoked after disbanding.
Blue Star Mothers announced the revocation Thursday for Chapter Pa. 11 of Coatesville, operating as Chester County Blue Star Mothers.
The officers of the local chapter, chartered May 14, 2011, informed officials they would be disbanding.
ōThere was no wrongdoing by the chapter members,ö said Pat Soler, national president of Blue Star Mothers of America Inc. ōThey just decided to disband.ö
The county chapter is ineligible to use the Blue Star Mothers name or its employer identification number, and it is no longer considered a valid 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
As of Thursday, any donations made to the group are not tax-deductible, and individuals accepting donations may be personally responsible for the payment of income taxes on any collected funds or goods.
ōIt is part of our fiduciary responsibility at the national level to make sure that the local communities are notified,ö Soler said. The preventative order informs the public of the revocation to avoid fraud.
Sometimes chapters do not have enough mothers who are in a position to take on the tasks required of a chapter, Soler explained. Each chapter focuses on parts, or all, aspects of the mission, depending on the needs of the local communities and mothers, Soler said.
Blue Star Mothers of America Inc. is a congressionally chartered Veterans Service Organization, operating nationwide since 1942.
One purpose of the national organization is to preserve the memory of all the men and women who have served as members of the armed forces, according to www.bluestarmothers.org.
Individuals interested in starting a new chapter can contact Ginger Novak, fourth national vice president. Her contact information can be found at www.bluestarmothers.org.

The second is the way it affects the person who receives it. Praise should be genuine, appreciative and descriptive. By being appreciative and descriptive you leave the evaluation piece to the child. They can draw their own conclusions about the job they did and formulate in their own mind keeping your words as a springboard.Read more

Last year, I read the book Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck. As a parent and educator, this book really resonated with me. Dr. Carol Dweck, a psychologist from Stanford University, has researched achievement and success in the areas of education, business and sports for several years. Interestingly, she found that one very simple thing, one's 'mindset' made the biggest difference in how someone was able to self-motivate and achieve success. Dweck identified two different types of mindsets: 'growth' and 'fixed'.Read more
In honor of the Bloomfield Hills High School Class of 2014, I would like to share a story from a few weeks ago, when my husband had an unexpected encounter on his way to a medical conference. Due to bad weather and a consequently delayed flight, my husband spent three extra hours waiting at Detroit Metro Airport. As he passed the time away fiddling with his iPhone, his ears perked up when he overheard a conversation happening behind him. He heard two men reminiscing about streets, restaurants, and other places that my husband recognized all too well. Out of curiosity, my husband turned around and the three of them made eye contact.Read more

SAN FRANCISCO Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O) shares hit a new record on Tuesday after it reported better-than-expected quarterly profit, fueled by the growth of higher-margin businesses during the fiercely competitive holiday quarter.
The world's largest Internet retailer said that its cloud computing services, video content sales and its aggressive expansion in e-books helped increase profitability.
In addition, a growing network of warehouses or fulfillment centers closer to customers held down shipping costs as it vied with Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) and other major retailers for consumer dollars over the holidays.
Chief Executive Jeff Bezos highlighted the Kindle's e-book business, calling it a multi-billion dollar category that grew about 70 percent in 2012. Its traditional physical book business rose about five percent in the same period, he noted.
"We're now seeing the transition we`ve been expecting," Bezos said in the company's results statement.
Profits have shrunk in recent years as the company invested for longer-term growth, building massive fulfillment centers, developing a Kindle Fire tablet hardware business in competition with Apple Inc (AAPL.O), and expanding into Internet-based cloud services.
The fourth-quarter profit results suggested that Amazon may be able to generate attractive returns from such spending, analysts said.
"The fourth-quarter operating income was up more than expected," said R.J. Hottovy, an equity analyst at Morningstar. "This supports the bull case that Amazon can monetize its growth over the longer term."
The Seattle-based company said operating income jumped 56 percent to $405 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $260 million in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Amazon's stock climbed 11 percent to $288 in after-hours trading. It hit a record of $284.72 on January 25.
The company also said fourth-quarter revenue rose 22 percent to $21.27 billion as it grabbed a big share of online spending during the holidays. But it was the profit that initially caught Wall Street's eye.
"It was a much better-than-expected gross margin, a strong forward indicator to drive margin expansion. What is really important is gross profit dollars and that line is stronger," said Ken Sena at Evercore Partners.
The gross profit margins were 24 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with Wall Street expectations of about 22 percent.
"Incredibly strong margins," said Jordan Rohan, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus. Amazon generated the highest quarterly gross margin in its North America business in more than three years, he noted.
Amazon mainly operates as a retailer, buying products at wholesale prices, storing them and then selling at a slight mark-up to consumers online.
But the company has expanded into other businesses that are potentially more profitable, including cloud computing, digital content and acting as an online marketplace for other merchants.
These newer businesses are growing faster than the company's original retail operations, boosting profitability.
