The Shining
by Stephen King
The Shining Theme of Versions of Reality
The Shining questions the nature of reality at every turn. The novel looks at a variety of factors which impact how reality is perceived and even perverted or masked. Jack, Wendy, and Danny, each in their own way are trying to make sense of their realities. They're are all searching for the truth. At the Overlook, reality and truth means accepting the unbelievable and the supernatural. Jack's refusal to accept this is part of what drives him to this tragic end. Wendy and Danny's ability to accept the truth, even when it seems utterly outlandish, is what saves them. The novel also explores how stress, alcoholism, and a person's own past can impact his or her perceptions of reality.
Questions About Versions of Reality
- Are any of the characters insane?
- Is Danny mentally ill? Is Jack? Is Wendy?
- Are the seemingly supernatural occurrences at the Overlook real, or do they somehow take place in the character's minds? Is there some other "rational" explanation for those events?
- How does Tony impact Danny's perception of reality?
- Does the way we perceive our present realities influence our perceptions of the realities of the past?

This recipe is from a red hat ladies' website. I'm going to make them tomorrow for a party. If I don't have bourbon, do you think it would be okay to substitute orange juice? If not, what would you suggest? There is a lot of snow in my driveway and I don't want to brave the roads around here to go shopping.
Christmas Lizzies
bump for an answer, please
I don't know if you can use OJ but will give you a bump and maybe someone will help you out. These do sound good.
It wouldn't be quite the same flavor; but if it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to substitute oj for bourbon.
Proudly serving as a Taste of Home Field Editor since 2002, Grand Prize Winner, First Prize Winner and Honorable Mention
My dear friend made these every Christmas and shared them with me. I loved them! They really are delicious. The liquor adds that certain something, but orange juice would be a perfectly fine substitute. Her recipe came from Woman's Day magazine and they always specified that you could do that substitution. Enjoy!
I first received this recipe about 50 years ago, and only one time did I try the bourbon. You definitely can taste it. I'd rather use the orange juice, and if there should happen to be any kids that will eat these, they won't like the bourbon taste either. These are a wonderful substitution for fruit cake and I just love them. Haven't made them in several years now, though.
Thanks for responding. I'm going to try the oj since there will be children eating them.

CBS (Sun., Oct. 2, 9 p.m. ET)
In an atrocious two-parter, Kenny Rogers returns as western cardsharp Brady Hawkes. This time he has to find his 19-year-old son (Kris Kamm), who is following the kind of career choice parents dread: Kamm has quit a New England prep school to join Butch, Sundance and the Hole in the Wall Gang! Now Dad has to find the outlaws and his son before a posse does. There follows a tedious, coincidence-crammed chase that stretches to Tuesday night and drags a cast including Loni Anderson and Dixie Carter from Fort Worth to La Paz.
It's not as if this stinker doesn't give warning. Any time the opening credits boast "Special Appearance by Bruce Boxleitner," that's a good tip you're not about to see a modern classic.

About 6 months ago, I was complaining about this place, but you get out what you put in and someone only complaining about the place without contributing anything themselves is a bit hypocritical. When I was complaining I was still posting other things besides. My main bugbear was people just posting the same old things over and over. This has changed now, and I think there is a bit more diversity in threads. It would be lovely to have the main site spruced up and updated, but it can only be updated to a certain point, nothing is going to change that much until there is new product and not another reissue either, I mean a NEW album. That would bring more people here. As it is, I don't think there is much to complain about these days. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Illustrated DiscographyBassmanHelden

Goerss, JS (2009). Impact of Satellite Observations on the Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasts of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System. MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW, 137(1), 41-50.
AbstractThe tropical cyclone (TC) track forecasts of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) were evaluated for a number of data assimilation experiments conducted using observational data from two periods: 4 July-31 October 2005 and 1 August-30 September 2006. The experiments were designed to illustrate the impact of different types of satellite observations on the NOGAPS TC track forecasts. The satellite observations assimilated in these experiments consisted of feature-track winds from geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites, Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) total column precipitable water and wind speeds, Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) radiances, and Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) and European Remote Sensing Satellite-2 (ERS-2) scatterometer winds. There were some differences between the results from basin to basin and from year to year, but the combined results for the 2005 and 2006 test periods for the North Pacific and Atlantic Ocean basins indicated that the assimilation of the feature-track winds from the geostationary satellites had the most impact, ranging from 7% to 24% improvement in NOGAPS TC track forecasts. This impact was statistically significant at all forecast lengths. The impact of the assimilation of SSM/I precipitable water was consistently positive and statistically significant at all forecast lengths. The improvements resulting from the assimilation of AMSU-A radiances were also consistently positive and significant at most forecast lengths. There were no significant improvements/degradations from the assimilation of the other satellite observation types [e. g., Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) winds, SSM/I wind speeds, and scatterometer winds]. The assimilation of all satellite observations resulted in a gain in skill of roughly 12 h for the NOGAPS 48- and 72-h TC track forecasts and a gain in skill of roughly 24 h for the 96- and 120-h forecasts. The percent improvement in these forecasts ranged from almost 20% at 24 h to over 40% at 120 h.

During this long, cold winter a couple of do-gooders in St. Cloud are using the snow to spread some cheer to the patients and staff at a hospital.
WCCO looked into the phenomenon after Nicole Anderson told the station via Facebook that someone has been spelling out messages in the snow for weeks.
Nurse Mary Habinger tells WCCO she's seen a man and woman in snowshoes trudging through the snow along the Mississippi River spelling out the words. They don't look like much from ground level, but from St. Cloud Hospital's upstairs floors the word Love and a peace sign were clearly visible on the day the station visited.
Habinger says it's convenient that family lounges look down on the river, so even patients whose rooms face the other direction can get their regular dose of goodwill.
While the authors of the messages have been spotted, their identities remain anonymous, WCCO says.
It's hard to talk about inspiring messages at hospitals without bringing up the popular video put together by nurses at Amplatz Children's Hospital last fall.

From Special Report:
Investing in Gold and Silver - September 2012
Silver linings may only be short term
Silver may appear to have many short-term prospects but there is talk of a possible bubble in the longer term
When it comes to public perceptions of precious metals, gold is king.
The yellow metal grabs headlines on a daily basis, and the asset management industry reflects this by offering a plethora of gold-themed investments.
In a sign of investors' increasing conviction that gold prices are in a long-term bull market, in August 2011, IndexUniverse.com calculated that the SPDR Gold Shares exchange-traded fund (ETF) had become the largest ETF in the world.
With all this focus on gold, a report published on September 15 by Lloyds TSB could have come as a shock for many investors. The bank's second Private Banking Commodities Monitor, which tracks the movements of 20 major commodities, calculates that the price of silver sharply outperformed that of gold in the decade to August 30 2012.
In 2002, the report says, the price of a troy ounce of silver was $4.57 (£2.82 in today's money), but 10 years later, at the end of August 2012, this had reached $30.66 – meaning silver prices gained a staggering 572 per cent. This was "significantly greater than any of the other commodities tracked", the report says.
Gold, which rocketed up 428 per cent, was only the second-biggest gainer over the period, followed by tin, which rose 414 per cent, copper, which increased 406 per cent, and lead, which appreciated 344 per cent. But silver has also been far more volatile than gold, particularly as commodity prices have fallen sharply in the past 12 months, according to the report. It shows that from the start of the year to the end of August, the gold price shed 10 per cent, but silver plummeted by 25 per cent.
Further demonstrating the metal's ferocious volatility, the price at the end of August was also sharply lower than the metal's all-time high at $49.84, reached in April 2011, according to Bloomberg data. This equates to a devastating 38.5 per cent slump in the space of 16 months.
By way of explanation for the longer-term gains in silver prices, the Lloyds TSB report points to "high demand for industrial uses" of silver, in addition to its status as a 'safe haven' asset – which it shares with gold.
"Commodity prices have risen significantly over the past decade, partly reflecting strong demand from emerging markets over the period," says Lloyds TSB Private Banking's head of investment Ashish Misra.
"Precious metals were the best-performing commodity, with their perceived position as a safe haven investment reinforced over recent years amid the financial market turmoil. However, with continued global economic uncertainty, commodity prices have weakened somewhat over the past year."
But which industrial properties in particular have given silver the edge that has seen it outperform gold by 144 percentage points in the past decade?
The research team at The Silver Institute, a global non-profit association that represents the silver industry, believes it has the answer.
"Silver enjoys a number of technological benefits, which makes it ideal for a range of industrial applications," says the Institute's March 2011 report on 'The Future of Silver Industrial Demand'.
"In particular, the metal is one of the best electrical and thermal conductors, which makes it the 'metal of choice' for a variety of electrical end-uses, including switches and contacts."
The report lists so many industrial applications for silver that they are too numerous to mention here. In particular, the report focuses on uses in electronics including circuit paths, capacitors, membrane switches and electronically heated car windscreens and conductive adhesives.
In addition, the metal is benefiting from government incentives supporting the generation of clean energy – with silver forming a fundamental part of the technology in 'photovoltaic cells', which make solar panels possible. But perhaps most significantly, silver's properties position it ideally to benefit from the growth of emerging markets.
"Silver conductive inks are also now used in the area of printed electronics, to meet the need for low-cost processing in high growth and emerging markets such as organic light emitting diodes and sensors, as well as for radio frequency identification tags," the report says.
Looking to the future, silver's unique properties mean it is often difficult to substitute other metals in most areas of industrial use, although in bull runs for the silver price companies do devote research efforts to other areas to ease costs, the report notes. In terms of the investment outlook, the usual gold and silver bulls – such as Sector Investment Managers' Angelos Damaskos and BlackRock's Evy Hambro – have been relatively quiet in recent months amid warnings that the metals' prices have reached 'bubble' levels.
In a fund manager report, written at the end of July this year, Mr Hambro did reveal he was boosting his weighting in silver developer Tahoe Resources after "the political risks associated with their key project in Guatemala alleviated". Other-wise, commodity gurus have been quiet on silver.
There are immediate price drivers which could justify a short-term positive outlook for the metal. The most significant was US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's recent announcement of a $40bn a month open-ended programme of quantitative (QE) easing to fuel recovery in the world's biggest economy.
The Fed's QE announcement comes on top of existing monetary easing measures in all the world's major currencies, which are positive for precious metals including silver because their inflationary effects cause investors to trade out of global currency and into 'safe haven' commodities.
Overall, the Fed's recent QE3 announcement is an exciting short-term driver, and silver's increasing scarcity of supply and its unique properties – which give it a role in the clean energy industry and relevance to emerging market growth – certainly make for a tempting long-term investment story.
However, silver may have outperformed gold in the past decade, but past performance is, of course, no guide to the future. Ultimately, talk of 'bubble' valuations and the commodity's extreme volatility are likely to see silver fail the due diligence test for most financial advisers for the foreseeable future.

Counterclaims in Investor-State Arbitration
Yaraslau (Yarik) Kryvoi
University of West London
August 5, 2011
LSE Legal Studies Working Paper No. 8/2011
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal regime governing counterclaims in investor-State disputes. It challenges the frequent presumption that the right to assert counterclaims is hindered by the fact that investment treaties impose no obligations on foreign investors and only protect their rights. The paper demonstrates that the right to assert counterclaims is a procedural right, and subject matter jurisdiction over counterclaims depends on whether the investor has breached obligations found in applicable law. The paper shows that foreign investors' substantive obligations can be found in sources of international law other than investment treaties. The paper also highlights the difficulties of asserting counterclaims in non-commercial areas such as human rights and environmental protection. Finally, it also shows that tribunals may pierce the corporate veil of foreign investors in the context of counterclaims.
The final version of this paper is available at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1993116

Getting to Green
An administrator pushes, on a shoestring budget, to move his university and the world toward a more sustainable equilibrium.
One of the most significant annual conferences each year (actually two -- one in the USA and one across the pond) is run by a little group known as TED. The name started out to mean "technology, entertainment, design", but the subject matter has expanded significantly in the last 25 years. The TED conference is probably the single outstanding forum for communicating bold and important ideas across industry, sector, discipline and international boundaries.
I've never had the budget to attend the conference itself, but I've often downloaded "TED talks" from www.ted.com. Individual talks tend to be about 20-30 minutes long; it's remarkable what a dedicated, enthusiastic, true expert can communicate in such a short time.
The good news, at least for some, is that TED talks are now coming to television. Not all televisions, of course (does anything still come to all televisions?). But televisions hooked up to cable or satellite systems that get Link TV. Link is a tremendous source for documentaries and overseas news digests -- it has that quiet radicalism that just presumes all parts of the world are equally interesting and equally important, and that real reality is more worth watching than Hollywood (or Jersey Shore) "reality". (In the spirit of full disclosure, I occasionally send money to Link. They don't send me any money back, though, so my opinions remain my own.)
TED's broadcast premiere will be next Wednesday, at 7:30 Eastern/4:30 Pacific. (Left coasters can see it again at 9:30 Pacific.) Tim Brown will be speaking about the design process, and about what might happen if we put as much effort into designing and implementing access to clean drinking water as we do into creating clothes that don't look like what everyone was wearing last year. Since clean drinking water is as urgent -- right now -- to much of the world as climate change soon will be to all of us, I think it's a great topic to start with.
In a sense, putting TED on TV is just a small step. Link is a network that appeals primarily to educated, right- (I mean, left-) thinking individuals, many of whom have reliable access to the web. But, like much of the effort involved in promoting sustainability on campuses, it's a small step towards awareness, and consciousness, and conscience-ness. And it might help drive a lot of traffic to TED's website which, in turn, might lead to one or more giant leaps.

Lone Star and KEB: It's Not Over Yet
If you thought you'd heard the last of the Lone Star Funds saga in South Korea, think again.
On Tuesday, the Dallas-based private-equity firm, which has been trying to offload the stake in Korea Exchange Bank it bought in 2003, said it is considering filing arbitration claims against the Korean government for damages over its unwillingness to approve a number of prospective buyers for KEB. Lone Star alleges that by thwarting these attempts to sell, the government forced it to hold the stake for longer than necessary and incurred losses along the way.
Seoul's financial regulator finally gave the go-ahead in January to Hana Financial Group Inc. to buy a 51.02% stake in KEB for $3.5 billion from Lone Star. Lone Star bought a 64.6% stake in KEB in 2003 for 2.155 trillion won ($1.9 billion). Lone Star's exit was hobbled by ongoing disagreement over the sale price and a legal probe in October that found Lone Star guilty of stock manipulation. That put pressure on Hana to cut the price it would pay to Lone Star, to placate lawmakers and labor union members who felt the firm had reaped unfairly large gains.
Another sticking point is over Seoul's decision to impose capital gains taxes on the sales of its Korean investments. Lone Star, which had been holding the investment in KEB in a Belgian vehicle, has opposed the decision by the National Tax Service because of a tax treaty between Korea and Belgium. Lone Star and the tax authorities were involved in a number of legal disputes in 2007 over the tax agency's attempts to impose back taxes on property sales by the fund.

Crestwood traffic needs a better solution
To the editor:
As a commuter who got stuck in traffic Dec. 1 because yet another truck got stuck on the elevated railroad crossing at Railroad Avenue in Crestwood, and now routinely sits in traffic in the morning at a new four-way stop where Crestwood Elementary's new parking lot exit joins Ky. 146 and Ky. 146 at another crossing, it's time to suggest to Crestwood's city fathers and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet how to fix a growing traffic problem.
Shortly after 6 a.m. Friday, officers from state and local law enforcement agencies begin executing multiple indictment warrants in Oldham County – the culmination of a seven-month, multi-agency investigation into the county's drug industry.
After unsuccessful attempts to collect payment for damages to an Ohio River dock, Oldham officials are filing suit against a barge owner.
In May, a barge owned by Hunter Marine of Nashville, Tenn., struck a few docks on the Ohio River, including one owned by Oldham County Fiscal Court.
After Hunter Marine failed to resolve the matter, Oldham officials voted Dec. 15 to pursue legal action.

A Fight to the Death?
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Ruth Finch
In the space of 15 minutes overlooking a beach on the south-eastern tip of Peninsula Valdez, Argentina, I watched two male elephant seals fight for a harem of females. Following this battle, another male emerged from the sea and saw off the exhausted victor of this encounter. Females and babies scurried for their lives as these giants battled for control. The ultimate damage was bloody. I took various photographs, including this one.

To the Editor:
I have supervised Capt. Brian Hunt in the U.S. Army Reserve 139th Legal Operations Detachment (LOD) for the past two years. I serve as a team leader for a team of attorneys and paralegals. I have been a licensed attorney for 13 years and an Army Reserve officer for over 20 years, including nine years on active duty. Capt. Hunt is a judge advocate (military attorney) assigned to my team.
Since joining the 139th LOD, Captain Hunt has served in an exemplary manner. He has done extremely well at all soldier skills, including physical fitness training and weapons qualification, as well as attorney skills. He was assigned by our detachment commander to manage the medical readiness program for the unit and has done exceptionally well in ensuring unit soldiers receive the proper medical examinations and vaccinations in a timely manner. Thanks to his management of the program, our unit medical readiness is the best in the Legal Command.
I strongly believe that Capt. Hunt possesses good judgment, excellent management skills, and dedication to duty. I believe these attributes are also necessary in a civilian judge. Based on his performance in the Army Reserve, I believe Capt. Brian Hunt would be an excellent choice for Juvenile Court judge.

Sascha Radetsky learned how to hold his own in a fight as a little boy. He had to be tough to defend himself from schoolyard bullies who thought lads who studied ballet were easy pickings. In the end, he decided to keep his mouth shut about the realm of tutus and tights.
"That stigma is so deeply rooted in American culture that I learned to keep dance to myself," the dancer says ruefully, "If people had a grasp of the rigors of it, of the blood, sweat and tears involved, they wouldn't perpetuate the stereotypes."
He may have kept quiet but he never stopped dancing, and Radetsky grew up to become a lion of the dance world.
By the time he was 15, the Santa Cruz native, who started dancing at age 5, already had been invited to study at Moscow's prestigious Bolshoi Academy. That led to a career that has taken him from the Kirov Ballet and Dutch National Ballet to his current gig as one of the stars of New York's American Ballet Theatre. Over the years, he has danced with Mikhail Baryshnikov, written about his art in Newsweek and Dance magazines, and earned his ballet stud status starring in the 2004 dance flick "Center Stage."
These days, the muscular 35-year-old wears his tights with as much machismo as elegance. On loan from American Ballet Theatre to Ballet San Jose, Radetsky returns to home turf to star as Prince Charming in "Cinderella," which runs Friday through Sunday at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.
"He is absolutely beautiful. San Jose audiences will receive such an enormous treat having the opportunity to see him dance," says Lauren Jonas, artistic director of Diablo Ballet. "He is a true artist. When you watch him dance, the audience is able to feel what he is feeling, which makes the viewers experience a magical journey."
Strong as a bull but lithe enough to land on his feet like a cat, the dancer trains hard to stay in perfect shape. He does martial arts and hits the gym to keep up with the grueling demands of ballet.
"The rehearsal process can be enjoyable but also very, very tedious. There's a lot of repetition, and it can be exhausting," he says, scarfing down a quick snack during a break in rehearsals at Ballet San Jose. "It's an intense schedule, and you have to do whatever it takes to deliver the performance. Everything we do is geared towards performance. That's when the adrenaline kicks in and you give it all you've got."
Tattoos emblazoned across his shoulder, a red bandanna on his head, the buff Radetsky lifts Alexsandra Meijer as if she were a feather in rehearsals for "Cinderella."
"Sascha is a huge star at American Ballet Theatre as well as being absolutely handsome, yet he is such a generous and gracious individual," says Meijer, principal dancer at Ballet San Jose. "This shines through his dancing as well as his partnering. He truly is a Prince Charming."
Indeed, Radetsky's heartthrob looks have always burnished his career. They helped him land the role of ballet lothario Charlie in "Center Stage," and they now lead droves of little ballerinas to watch him rehearse every chance they get.
For the record, he is happily married to fellow American Ballet Theatre soloist Stella Abrera. "We don't get a chance to dance together as often as we'd like," he notes with a hint of regret.
As it happens, he has always been one to put family first. He returned to the U.S. despite rapturous applause at the Dutch National Ballet because of health issues in his family. He misses Europe, especially the widespread appreciation of the arts there.
"It was neat to be somewhere where you say you're a dancer and people know what that means," he says, "They respect your work, and they consider you someone who enriches the culture."
Not that he doesn't appreciate the joys of home. He signed on for "Cinderella," which he has danced before, so that he could visit with his mom, who lives in the Aptos area, and his brother, who still lives in Santa Cruz. He turned down guest artist housing so he could stay with Mom and catch up.
"Santa Cruz is such a special place. It's so great being back," he says. "Plus having my mom's cooking is really nice."
The fact that his passions extend beyond dance is a real plus, considering how short a dancer's career can be. At 35, he has started to ponder his next step, what he will do the day he can no longer leap as high or spin as fast.
"My least favorite thing about dance might be the short career span," he admits. "It also takes a heavy toll physically."
Looking ahead, he would love to dance Romeo as well as partner with his wife more often. And he would be thrilled to come back to Ballet San Jose even if it means reprising roles he has danced before.
"I still find satisfaction in many of the roles that I've danced a thousand times. I consider them old friends with whom I can embark on new adventures."
Looking back on his life at the barre, he will never forget the first time he knew he had to dance. Or combust.
"I was stuck in a studio watching my sister for hours, and I had to find a way to funnel all that energy or I was going to break something," he recalls. "Once I saw how athletic it is and how much like a sport it is, I was hooked."
So, what advice would he give other little boys trying to muster up the courage to give ballet a whirl? Hang tough in your tights.
"To the boy who wants to be a dancer but is scared of making that choice: If you want it badly enough, you won't be that afraid. If you are too afraid, ballet is not for you anyway."

In Theaters This Week
There's nothing quite as tried and true in the American film canon as the summer coming-of-age story.
You've got your dweeby kid (usually male but not always) who is misunderstood by adults and most other kids alike. It looks like he or she will be spending a miserable summer at the beach or at camp or just at home, only to encounter a quirky adult who shows him or her the way to a changed life. There's often a little romance and, quite often, the tale is seen through the memories of an adult looking back at his or her childhood.
"The Way, Way Back" follows this formula down to every twist. But, happily, this film is in the hands of writers-directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who pocketed an Oscar for their writing on 2011's "The Descendants." On a minuscule budget, by Hollywood standards at least, Faxon and Rash have produced a lovely, sweet, funny and delightfully acted movie that manages to be a crowd-pleaser without pandering.
When we first meet 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James from TV's "The Killing"), he is on his way to the Massachusetts shore with his divorced mother Pam (Toni Collette) and her new boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell). He's clumsy, mumbles rather than talks, radiates loneliness and is clearly unhappy about being on this trip to the beach. It doesn't help that Trent is a sly but relentless bully, something Pam is oblivious to for most of the film.
It doesn't get any better at the beach house. Trent's teenage daughter Steph (Zoe Levin) wants nothing to do with him. Next-door neighbor Betty (a wonderful Allison Janney) is a boozy divorcee who unleashes a hurricane of too much information every time she opens her mouth.
Pam is soon swept into a "spring break for adults" with Trent's beach friends (notably Amanda Peet and Rob Corddry), which consists largely of raunchy jokes, drinking and smoking pot while the kids are around.
Duncan is in for a long, awful summer -- until he stumbles across the Water Wizz water park, an artifact of the 1980s managed (sort of) by a slacker named Owen who takes it upon himself to rescue the kid from his misery.
In a tour-de-force performance that is both very funny and very real, Sam Rockwell turns Owen into the film's most vibrant character, a kind of warmhearted merry prankster who brings cool into Duncan's life. Soon, he has the kid working at the park, hanging out with the park's cool employees (including Maya Rudolph, Faxon and Rash), popping some dance moves and striking up a real friendship with Betty's smart and sexy daughter Susanna (AnnaSophia Robb of the CW's "Carrie Diaries").
Meanwhile, things are not going well at the beach house with the adults, and there is a darkness to the last part of the film, much of it driven by Pam's heartbreaking efforts to make her way in life as a single mom. There are hard lessons to be learned on the part of many of the characters, and hearts will be broken.
While there is a crowd-pleasing bit of triumph for Duncan toward the end of the film, Faxon and Rash wisely avoid a predictable upbeat ending, leaving some things hanging and not wrapping things up with a pretty bow.
As was the case with "The Descendants," the writing by Faxon and Rash is smart and sure-footed. They make use of the coming-of-age formula but keep their take on it distinctly different from "Mud" and "Kings of Summer," which came out earlier this year, and 2009's "Adventureland," which had a rather similar setting.
Faxon and Rash also do well as first-time directors. Certainly, they draw a terrific performance from Rockwell and very good ones from Janney, Carell, Collette and Robb. The big misstep is a failure to give Duncan the kind of definition a central character should have, which too often results in James' Duncan being eclipsed by the supporting cast. They also misuse Rudolph, who is not given anything remotely funny to do.
But those flaws can't stop "Way, Way Back" from being an invigorating breath of fresh air, a small, often enchanting film that may well find an audience amid all the summer blockbusters.

Mathematical modelling award for Matthias Lindig
Dr. Matthias Lindig, SORG head of R & D, was presented with the Glass Services Award for Promotion of Mathematical Modeling to the International Glass Industry at the recent Glass Services Symposium in Velké Karlovice in the Czech Rebublic.
Since joining SORG in 2002 Matthias has been closely involved with the application of mathematical modelling to the Companys daily business. He has experience of modelling a wide range of different furnace designs, including float and all electric furnaces, as well as LoNOx® and FlexMelter® designs.
The award, an extremely large piece of absolutely perfect lead crystal glass formed in the shape of a cut diamond, was awarded to Matthias for his outstanding work in publicising the benefits, but also the potential limitations, of mathematical modelling. He has made major presentations involving the modelling to the North American Glass Problems Conference, the European ESG conference in Athens and the Glass Trends Workshop in Eindhoven.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/30/2014 -- People are abandoning traditional lenders at a very high rate since they are now easily obtaining financing by sending in applications through the web. This is also assuring them of convenience where they are now going through the entire application process even when working in the office or enjoying their breaks at home. Nowpersonalloans.com has now established deals with new online lenders.
After looking at the current borrowing habits of consumers, the management noticed that the rising demand for internet loans is causing pressure on some loan programs. This is an issue that could have compromised efficiency and it had to be sorted out within the shortest time possible. With all that has been done, the company is now sure of attending to all submitted applications in time.
This latest move is one that will also be assuring applicants of variety and they will be having numerous options when going about the quotes comparison process. There will be very high chances of them obtaining financing at reduced interest rates and the fees will be lower where applicable. Those who take time to keenly choose the right repayment plans will also be sorting out their debts without straining financially.
When confirming the new partnerships, the CEO of nowpersonalloans.com said that, "One of the issues that we were planning to address by starting this company is convenience and we have been able to achieve this goal so far. Increasing the number of lenders on internet loans will help us to avoid compromising the situation and we are now in a good position to process applications shortly after submission."
A regular customer named Steve Walton had this to share about the current vast database of loan providers, "The services I receive when applying for various loan programs are always satisfying and this is among the major reasons why I have been coming back time after time. This is an extremely important move that has been made in order to continue serving borrowers efficiently even with the increasing number of applications."
About nowpersonalloans.com
This comparison website was put up in 2011 and it has played an important role in changing the lending industry into what it is today. Consumers are now spending a couple of hours to accomplish what used to take them days when dealing with traditional lenders. They are also easily obtaining financing even with very low credit standings.

Biblical Jewish Law prohibits carrying or transporting on the Sabbath day. This is only permitted within one's private boundaries or a defined local area referred to as an Eruv.
An Eruv is a continuous geographic boundary designated in accordance with ancient rabbinic principles. Within the Eruv carrying is permitted as is the use of pushchairs and wheelchairs.
An Eruv may utilise existing local boundary features such as those formed alongside roads, railways, rivers, fences, walls or embankments. However, where the continuity is breached by highways crossing the boundary, then this must be 'closed' by the erection of a notional gateway.
At these 'gaps' in the Eruv boundary it is necessary to erect posts linked by a wire crossing the highway. The posts need only be of the slenderest dimensions and the wire of the finest gauge. No signage is required and their presence would, therefore, be barely noticeable.
The proposals involve the use of some 60 pairs of posts on the public highway distributed over an Eruv boundary of over 13 miles. They would be discreetly located and in many cases existing lampposts will be utilised. They will be painted in muted grey and be almost invisible in an area already containing over 10,000 more prominent items of street furniture.
Applications are being made to Bury, Salford and Manchester Councils and Greater Manchester Transport for planning consent and permission to work on local highways. All these Authorities have been previously consulted and have contributed to the design of the Eruv.
The cost of implementing the Eruv, as well as its annual maintenance, will be borne by the orthodox Jewish community. This is of a moderate order in relation to the many hundreds of orthodox Jewish families who would benefit from its introduction.
Whilst an Eruv would benefit only one group within a multi-cultural community, the effects on others would be imperceptible. Apart from Israel, there are already over 150 Eruvim worldwide stretching from France to Australia and America, including three in London.
An eruv makes Shabbos observance more pleasant in many ways. The Manchester Eruv
will enable many thousands of Jewish people living in the area to enjoy Shabbos
to the full.
Eruvim are especially helpful to families with young children who want to use a
pram or baby buggy outside their home on Shabbos and to people who use a wheelchair
or walking frame. Others will find it useful to be able to carry house
keys, reading glasses, medication or books to a shiur.
Currently, families with young children are home-bound each Shabbos. Many couples
have children too young to walk to synagogue and cannot attend a Shabbos service
together, nor a kiddush or simcha. Grandparents will be able to host their younger
grandchildren on Shabbos. Shabbos events will be available to all families - young
and old, mobile and less mobile. Everyone will be able to join in the Shabbos religious
and social life of the community.

Education teaches us that the more you understand something, the better your choices will be about how to improve it. And this simple principle applies to education itself, as it does to many other aspects of life.
So four organizations -- SEAMEO, UNICEF, UNESCO and DevInfo Support Group -- have teamed up to build an education database that will create a map of where things stand in education in our region. Analysis drawn from this database map will contribute to our understanding and will provide the evidence needed to make good, strong choices about how to shape education policy and improve the quality of the education that South East Asia's children receive.
