Aging somewhat gracefully -- with discounts
July 28, 2011 - Burton Cole (humor columnist)
Today's email contained a list both disturbing and exciting. The subject line reads: "Information: 108 Stores with Senior Discounts."
Excuse me a moment while I adjust my bifocals, scratch the white of my beard and adjust the frame on my grandson's photo. You know us old people.
Now that we have that out of the way, allow me to say … WHAT!!??
What's this conspiracy to push me into the fast car down the long and graying road well before my driver's license allows? Card me!
AARP's been after me since I blew out 45 or 46 candles on my birthday cake. (I used an air compressor to whoosh the flames all at once. Here's a hint, kids: Aim high. Frosting blows a long way across the room.)
Polite people have been asking after the welfare of my grandchildren well before Sebastian showed up – which was only a little more than two years ago, by the way.
And now, a well-meaning friend – former friend, I mean – forwards me the list of senior discounts.
I will not publish the list as I have yet to verify its accuracy. However, it appears that I might – even at my youthful age – wish to conduct some research. For educational purposes.
For example, the list claims Krispy Kreme offers 10 percent off for anyone older than 50. That's exactly the kind of incentive I need to admit that yes, I did coast over the half century mark.
Some fashion stores are in. The list says Banana Republic offers 10 percent to the 50-plus mod squad. The last time I wandered into a house of fashion at the mall, not only did the kidling behind the counter scrunch up her nose, but she seemed to consider anyone 30 or more ancient as geriatric enough. "We don't sell black socks to wear with flip-flops," she said by way of greeting.
Mainstay Suites is listed as offering 10 percent off with a "Mature Traveler's Discount" for those older than 50. When I reach "senior" status of 60, I can get 20 to 30 percent lopped off my bill, according to the vicious email.
I suppose I there's no point in denying the calendar. It's going to win, and, as they say, it beats the alternative. Plus, in three years or so, my pizza and pancakes are going to get a lot cheaper. Yep, I'll quit listing my age as "39" for ice cream and doughnut discounts.

[QUOTE=sbhikes;958261]Santa Barbara is a city FULL of really beautiful people. If I went to the mid-west, I'd be one of the prettiest people there, but here in Santa Barbara I'm one of the ugliest ones for sure.[/QUOTE]
Hey!! You calling me ugly?!?! :)
(Don't know squat about running - I don't do it except for fun stuff like squirt gun fights. Re The Ughs - I get them occasionally, and they will go away. Every once in a while I will look into the big bathroom mirror and just groan... prematurely white hair, tits heading south after breastfeeding four, weight to lose, a new cavity, and some odd wiry chin hair just to make me feel even more special... the cure for me is not to look into the mirror for a couple of days - by then I usually feel better about myself. And dark choc helps. And a movie night - something really, really not-intellectual like a Schwarzenegger flick or something.)

David Hertzberg
'A new piece by the opulently gifted twenty-three-year-old David Hertzberg, the Young Concert Artists' Composer-in-Residence, used two Wallace Stevens poems as his text, and overflowed with a refreshingly explorative harmonic language that was an intriguing match for Stevens' dense, eloquent imagery. Bullock, for her part, sang as if in a state of unfolding amazement at the otherworldly musical and visual universe she herself was evoking. She sang this difficult but mesmerizing work from memory, as if it were a familiar repertory item, and pianist Renate Rohlfing showed similar mastery of the richly cascading, often cataclysmically dissonant accompaniment.'

97-acre area will house baseball stadium, mixed-use fields
UPDATED 3:20 PM EDT May 14, 2013
Seminole County leaders plan to buy land near Orlando-Sanford International Airport to build a multiuse sports complex.
The 97-acre tract of land will have a baseball stadium and more than a dozen other fields.
The county will spend just over $7 million to buy the land.
The full $15 to $20 million required for the entire project will come from the hotel tourist tax revenue.
Leaders hope the planned facility will bring many events and tournaments to Seminole County.

How to land the perfect job - 10 great interview tips
Getting the job you want often depends on how well you perform in interviews. So here are ten great tips from Shiree Thomas, principal of Authentic Recruitment, to help you land your dream role.
Tip 1: Take care with personal presentation
Even if you are going for something in a casual environment, go smart. This means no garish colours or loud accessories, as well as all the usual rules about subtle fragrance and make up. "Loud accessories might look great at a nightclub on Friday night, but they are not appropriate for interviews," she says.
Tip 2: Be punctual
"Try to arrive at least, but no more than, five minutes before the scheduled interview time. If you are going to be late, it's courteous to ring and let them know, as well as apologise once you get there," she says.
Tip 3: Mirror the behaviour of the interviewee
Body language is a huge part of communication, so watch you are giving out the right message while you are with the interviewer. The same goes for talk style. "You still need to maintain your own personality, but like attracts like, so try to adopt a similar communication style as the interviewer. If they don't volunteer personal information you shouldn't either. But if they do, say, comment on a big football game and you know something about it, it's appropriate to offer a comment back," Shiree says.
Tip 4: Don't interject
Another piece of good advice is not to interject or interrupt the interviewer. Shiree says this can get the interviewer offside, or make you seem arrogant. Show good listening skills too. Really give your attention to the interviewer.
Tip 5: Have confidence
"Keep in mind that if you have been selected for an interview, the business thinks you have potential, otherwise management wouldn't waste their time or yours, so the idea is to project an air of quiet confidence, which can also help to quell any nerves you have," she says
Tip 6: Less is more
According to Shiree, it's easy to talk too much in an interview – especially when nerves are at play. "It's much better to try to keep your answers short and sweet, which also lessens the chance of saying something damaging," she says. If you feel yourself foundering, ask a question of the interviewer and move the focus. As a general rule, never be negative about a previous employer or work experience, even if it's a competitor. Bad mouthing anyone makes you appear less trustworthy.
Tip 7: Do your research
Expect to be asked questions about the company you are trying to win a place at and be prepared to answer them. These days, says Shiree, there's no excuse for not researching what the company to which you are applying for does and how they operate. She says it's essential to go to its website and also talk to friends and colleagues about their experiences with the firm.
Tip 8: Use resume preparation services wisely
"If you're going to use a resume preparation service", says Shiree, "make sure they prepare your resume with the required level of detail. If you do use someone to write your resume for you, make sure you know it inside out before turning up for an interview," she says.
Tip 9: Be honest
If you have gaps in your employment, make sure you that you can cover them in a way that is truthful. "It's always best to be honest – if you are asked a question you don't know the answer to, say so, but promise to come back with an answer after the interview – and if you do make a commitment like that, you need to honour it to give yourself the best chance to nail the job," she says.
Tip 10: Follow up
People like to see keeness. Shiree says it's essential to follow up with the person who interviewed you within 24 hours of the interview. "Send a thank you email confirming your interest in the role. People often forget to confirm their interest in a job, and a follow up email is a great opportunity for you to outline three reasons why you are perfect for the position."
How did you land your dream job?

Projects and challenges in the city
Last December, Trubey and Don Julien, Woodinville Library manager, commented on the proposed Woodinville Retail Center's draft environmental impact statement, focusing on the transportation needs of the community in light of the increased traffic associated with the proposed shopping center.
W.A.M. proposed that TRF Pacific, developers of the project, mitigate their impact on traffic by funding a "Shopper Bus" for three years that would run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every half hour, circulating throughout the city.
Preliminary cost for the 11-passenger bus is $100,000 per year: $87,600 for the service and $12,400 for administration, Trubey said.
Other projects W.A.M. is looking at include youth issues, the sign problems merchants face in the city regarding temporary signs, and creating more parks in the area.
These issues represent challenges identified by the merchants in the area, Trubey said.
"Kids don't have a good place to play," Trubey said, "and the 10-4 bus transportation would help them get around the city."
He added that his 24 years of experience in referrals, strategies, sales, and marketing and team building will help serve Woodinville by referring customers and residents to merchants in the area. In 1993, he founded Startup, Inc., a "collaborative business alliance managing and networking an arrangement of services to support growth oriented firms."
W.A.M. meets the fourth Thursday of each month. Its next meeting will be at Las Margaritas on Feb. 22, 7:45 to 9:15 a.m. Cost is $7.

I'm french and I work as what we call an "ergonome". I'm a bit confused about all the terms that are used to speak about "UX/usability/interaction" related jobs in the english speaking world : I read things about "Interaction designers", "Human factor specialists", "User experience specialist", "Usability specialists", "Information architects", and I'm... lost.
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to UX/IX design, and I've seen so many people talk
about the benefits/shortcomings of generalists vs. specialists. I had
to take a swing at it, and I think I've cleared up the real issue:
Instead of just asking "which is better" we should be asking
"which is better for our business?"
Too many times the UX civil war seems to revolve around broad skills
or narrow skills, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't matter which
skill set you have. Both are valuable and necessary.
What do you call someone who sits squarely on the fence between interaction
design and implementation?
I am trying to new employment or consulting opportunities. I can find
opportunities for people skilled solely in wireframing and prototyping. I
can also find opportunities for people with nothing but implementation
skills. Neither of these is what I am looking for. I've been wearing both
hats for over two decades now.
Is the entire market focused on separating these two skills?

i think its still crap really upsetting if this is it, what about tizen 3.4?
15. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
Well, I agree with daniel. Looks very very sleek, and with right wallpaper it would look great. But maybe icons should have more contrast and look less hologrammy. But yeah, I like it.
54. trustory (Posts: 132; Member since: 23 Jan 2013)
It looks gay af
59. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
I agree,... Looks dull , like iOS 7 icons
22. brar.arsh (Posts: 200; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
Are you serious? What major differences do you spot? It's the same 4 column launcher with semi transparent status bar.
Only the Icon changes and few crappy bloatware apps/widgets?
What's revolutionary, I want to see what you saw.
This can be done on a CM ROM with a theme on it.

This is Android ,that's it
People say they find Touchwiz ugly when they can change wallpaper and themes. And those people are the one on phonearena and similair blogs who don't even own a samsung device
52. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
I've owned the S3 and I own the S4 and Touchwiz is really ugly. Samsung is doing something wrong if the first thing you think of when getting the phone is to download a custom launcher to change how everything looks. It's too bad Nova can't make the notification shade and settings menu less tacky.
23. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Finally Sammy did great job. Let's wait and see what's new in this new ui design.
26. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Couldn't agree more. This looks elegant, simple, and clean. KitKat font + redesign = TouchWiz UX 3.0 ----> Galaxy S5.
27. LetsBeHonest (Posts: 1442; Member since: 04 Jun 2013)
Ohhh i like it too look very polished and elegant
this news just made me post, after a long time....
hope it come true even better...
30. fireblade (Posts: 716; Member since: 27 Dec 2013)
Stock KitKat UI is still better IMHO
38. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
No it doesn't. People just hate TW for the sake of hating something.
44. lallolu (Posts: 471; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
You are so right. I have always wondered why people complain so much about TW. I do not think it is ugly like some people claim. I also got tired of it when I had galaxy S but then I knew it was not the fault of the launcher but my own issue of quickly getting bored with things. I have used HTC phones whcih I believe also have a beautiful and useful UI. I have used stock is neat but very basic (as it should). I believe normal (everyday) which constitute the majority of phone users are pretty ok with Samsung's TW.

TouchWiz is much better!
2. crazymonkey05 (Posts: 178; Member since: 20 Nov 2012)
I like touchwiz if they can get it to be more ram efficient and smooth I think people will like it.
3. shrimpanzee (Posts: 18; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
If this is how it looks, I think it looks like one of the coolest UI designs! I really like the look, for some reason it seems very attracting to me. From the lock screen to the home screens it seems very edgy, l would enjoy it on my S5! I hope it won't make my device lag like it did for my S4 /:

a bit of ios7 and sailfish ui but i like it
5. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
lol....how does it resemble to ios 7 ? I see no gradient icons here. Also, the icons look very sharp which is very unlike ios7
6. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
the space wallpaper (can be justified because this is a galaxy) and the neutral tones +ios 7 clock
13. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Aqua blue wallpaper doesn't mean space. Also, Samsung is using that colour since S3.
Neutral tones = colour that does not attract attention.
ios 7 uses gradient colours which are anything but neutral. E.g. Green gradient in phone icon.
ios 7 clock ? Have no idea what u are referring to here.
19. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
33. kabhijeet.16 (Posts: 805; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Whats your point?
You mean to say that blue, green, space wallpaper, fonts, digital clock are all patented by Apple?
So no one can use colours???? Nonsense..
36. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Samsung still lacks a signature design , so its not copied but inspired ......
40. superduper (Posts: 151; Member since: 20 Oct 2013)
The dock icons at the bottom (Magazine, Phone, Message, Internet) have gradient colors. The typography is now very slender. The lock screen features a slim, centered clock at the top and a "Swipe screen to unlock" prompt at the bottom. And all within months of the iOS 7 refresh coincidentally.....
56. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
The typography and the centered clock are features of stock Android. The "Swipe screen to unlock" prompt at the bottom is on every galaxy device.
I'm not sure why they went with gradient dock icons. It looks out of place compared to the stock Android icons.
24. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Swipe screen to unlock. Lol is it new ios8?
34. kabhijeet.16 (Posts: 805; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Right..!!! Bcoz Only iOS uses swipe to unlock..!!!
Clearly Apple copied Samsung's lockscreen of swipe to unlock in iOS7
49. ecmedic4 (Posts: 335; Member since: 02 May 2013)
The iPhone has said "slide to unlock" since the very first iPhone.
39. saffant (Posts: 274; Member since: 04 Jul 2011)
In that case iOS design to include toggles is "inspired" from Android. Same goes for notification menu, swipe from bottom lockscreen (Windows phone) and the icons from meego.
8. spiderpig2894 (Posts: 588; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
It does look like iOS7. Flat and gradient stock icons. Yes, many use flat icons but most use a solid color in their stock icons. Stop the fanboy blindness and you'll definitely say that it really does.
9. spiderpig2894 (Posts: 588; Member since: 10 Jan 2012)
Even the cloudy galaxy wallpaper is iOS7-ish. IMO, but it really, really resembles iOS7. :/ I want it in my Note 3 though. XD
10. JerryTime (Posts: 468; Member since: 09 Nov 2013)
Thank God. The Current UI is one of the main reasons I don't like Samsung Devices.
11. jellmoo (Posts: 1589; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
"Are you tired of Samsung's TouchWiz UI?"
Is... Is that some sort of trick question? Is there somebody that isn't?
This looks like it could have potential. Definitely needs a more unified icon scheme, and the continued use of neon green for the battery makes me worried.
I wonder how long it is before LG decides to copy it?
25. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Um.. Me? Am I the only one that still loves TW?
31. jellmoo (Posts: 1589; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Nah, I'm sure there are others. Maybe the only one that doesn't work for Samsung, but I digress... ;)
42. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
I have no issues with it. I think it looks fine. It's the most fully featured UI out there. In the end, isn't that what it's all about with Android? Choice? The more the better, I say.
51. AntiFanBoyz (unregistered)
I think TW looks just fine. I find stock too plain and my iPhone 5 iconography is atrocious. Probably like the look of Sony UI the best. But, what's it really matter when you can change up the whole damn thing?
61. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
TW was just totally redesigned with the GS3. That actually isn't that long ago considering sense was never totally redesigned until the HTC One and IOS stayed the same from IOS1 - IOS 6 and finally got totally redesigned with IOS 7.
So no, most people should not be sick of the Nature UX yet since its actually pretty new......
This seems like another case of Samsung hate because they are number 1 in the Android world and their favorite company is not number 1.
It seems like the only two things people can complain about is plastic and touchwiz and they really like to emphasize their hate for those two things basically.
12. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
You can actually have a sneak peak at the new Tablet UI on the new tab videos, it's pretty cool.
14. YodhaMali (Posts: 49; Member since: 05 Jan 2013)
Elegant? Bwhahaha! Sony's UI is what you call elegant. Samsung better get rid of the cartoonish icons in its current Touchwiz UI.
16. power_x (Posts: 264; Member since: 28 Aug 2013)
hmmmm , where did I see this wallpaper before ?
where did I see these flat icons before ?
where did I read "Swipe Screen To Unlock" before ?
And then they said , Apple copied Samsung
17. power_x (Posts: 264; Member since: 28 Aug 2013)
don't get me wrong though , I love this new UI it is much better than TouchWiz
35. kabhijeet.16 (Posts: 805; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Wallpaper--on my Windows desktop..
Flat icons-- on my Windows desktop..
Swipe to unlock screen-- On samsung's touchwiz since 2011.. Apple copied the same in iOS7...
48. ecmedic4 (Posts: 335; Member since: 02 May 2013)
Not sure what you mean by Apple copied touchwiz when I'm very certain that the iPhone has said "slide to unlock" since the very first iPhone.
53. ePoch270 (Posts: 182; Member since: 26 Sep 2013)
No, Pretty sure it had the "arrow" unlock first then "Slide to unlock", both within a defined space. Sammi has used the "Swipe to unlock" from an undefined area for it's last several iterations.
60. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Flat icons from stock android,
Swipe screen to unlock is in samsung phones from TW 2.0....
Walpapers those kind of walpapers(blue) is already in TW nature UX...
18. picka_vi_materina (Posts: 174; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Dock icons stolen from Sailfish Alpha. Transparency is quite obvious that both Apple and Samsung have stolen from both Nokia (Maemo 5) and Jolla (Sailfish). Dumdums
20. number29 (Posts: 185; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
I wish someone would hurry up and make Android icons all the same shape and size instead of this mess.

32. nctx77 (Posts: 1961; Member since: 03 Sep 2013)
Are you freaking kidding me?!? Now they are copying ios 7. Ok I understand Apple doesn't own a patent for that design, but man can this company come up with its own ideas? Man.... First the 8.4 looks like the ipad mini, now this!
62. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Lol how does the 8.4 look like the mini?
37. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Completely different? It looks like a transparent touchwiz with new widget styles. Still a lame UI.
41. scriptwriter (Posts: 396; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
Not too bothered about UI these days. The reason i moved away samsung (bespoke) phones to the nexus range is because of the insanely high amounts of bloatware that came with each handset. Im not saying its just samsung who does it but they certainly have more than others.
43. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)

Consumers will tend to hold off their purchases if there is a new and significantly improved model coming soon. This is particularly true for electronics and automobiles. Word of the third generation Prius has been known as far back as 2006, and while the economic downturn played a significant role in cutting sales of the older Prius, the waiting game may have had a larger impact than previously thought.
Toyota had already decided to increase production of the Prius to 600,000 units per year in late May after seeing huge sales in Japan. The company has had to begin weekend production of the Prius in order to make a dent in demand. Increases in fuel economy and horsepower had led many to delay their purchases of the Prius until the 2010 model was available. However, many potential customers also switched to Honda's Insight hybrid, which topped the Japanese sales charts in April.
In the two months since, hybrids have continued their sales dominance, with the 2010 Toyota Prius and Honda Insight both posting strong sales. The Toyota Prius seized the top spot in May, with sales of 10,915 cars.
This month, though, it set an even more impressive mark, becoming the first hybrid in Japan's history to outsell all other vehicles. The Honda Insight's previous sales record had excluded popular mini-vehicles with engines of up to 660cc. Those mini-vehicles were easily outsold by the Prius, thanks to sales of 22,292 units.
Honda continued to do well, with its Insight Hybrid coming in fourth place. Honda's Fit, a fuel efficient traditional offering came in second place, with 13,016 vehicles sold. The sales of Toyota and Honda's hybrids were helped by relatively high worldwide gas prices, which drove Japanese consumers to take fuel economy more seriously. Japanese tax breaks have also helped convince users to switch to hybrids.
Hybrid vehicles have yet to crack the top of U.S. sales charts, but some believe it's only a matter of time before a foreign hybrid like the Toyota Prius, or a domestic like the Ford Fusion pushes towards the top.
All of this bodes well for those hoping of a restart of Toyota's $1.3 billion Prius assembly plant currently under construction in Blue Springs, Mississippi. Toyota has already spent over $300 million on the plant. The building shell itself is finished, but the tooling and production machinery will be installed at a later date. Parts suppliers have also halted building expansion and tooling operations until Toyota commits to a restart date.
The case for a restart is particularly strong since New United Motor Manufacturing Inc. (NUMMI) appears destined for a shutdown. The joint venture between Toyota and General Motors will cease to produce the Pontiac Vibe, which is based on Toyota's Matrix. It also produces the popular Toyota Corolla and Toyota's Tacoma truck, production which could shift to Blue Springs. Production of the Toyota Yaris hybrid is also a possibility.
quote: Toyota appears to have earned gross profits of around ¥100 billion yen (US$1 billion) on its sales of second-generation Prius hybrids last year. Toyota's gross profit margin on the sales of the next-generation 2010 Prius are projected to be in the single digits in the first year.
quote: The gross profit earned on the Insight is still low when factoring in the large R&D costs involved in its development. However, the profit margin on its hybrid operations has risen to the level where Honda can count on it to generate the fourth-largest revenue stream behind its luxury, midsize and small car operations.
quote: So now you have the source article saying that Honda's continued efforts at refining and improving on its hybrid design will now bring it solidly into last place as far as its automobile sales are concerned (I guess the Honda Hybrid guys can finally can stop taking heat from the lawn mower engine guys about profits at the annual picnic at least…) and you have Toyota figures that benefit from the horridly overpriced Lexus hybrids as well as old figures of the previous Prius that didn't have to price match the new Insight, further they expect the new Prius to have single digit profit margins! Then you have a Dailytech article twisting it into saying that hybrids are a "cash cow."…Color me unimpressed with the integrity of the Dailytech article. Now before this devolves into yet another 200 post bicker-fest about American automakers, I don't think anyone here is about to disagree that US makers are sucking wind and that they are not doing well. This is not the argument I am making. I have issue with the horrid sensationalism that goes on around here each day. Just because one is doing bad, doesn't mean that the other is "raking in the bucks."I would be thrown out of a project approval meeting if I proposed a project that was only going to receive 15% ROI, much less 15% gross margins. Now the auto industry is in a much worse situation than the industry I am in, but the fact remains that 15% gross margin is not a cash cow in any industry.
quote: GREED GREED GREED.
quote: Toyota are obviously devoted to long term objectives. In case you haven't noticed , they ARE working!
quote: I'm not saying they aren't in a better position than the other big auto makers
quote: In my books ANY profit is a good profit.
quote: The DT article claiming 3100$ profit was actually full of balogna.

Director Neil LaBute and actor Aaron Eckhart ('The Dark Knight') both came to national attention with 'In the Company of Men,' LaBute's searing drama about a misogynist (Eckhart) who, along with a fellow business executive, seeks revenge on all women by ruining the life of an innocent.
The director and actor have worked together several times since, including the 1998 couples drama 'Your Friends & Neighbors' and 2002's 'Possession,' about two scholars investigating the affair of two Victorian poets. Now, LaBute will again direct Eckhart in the drama 'The Geography of Hope,' according to the L.A. Times.
Set in the 1970s, 'Hope' is about two thieves (Eckhart and Ed Harris) who flee to Baja, Mexico, after a robbery goes wrong. In Baja, they meet several women and are torn between their romantic feelings for them and their natural instinct to grift them.
'The Geography of Hope' does not yet have a release date but is expected to be LaBute's next film. He recently directed the out-of-character mid-size comedy hit 'Death at a Funeral,' but 'Hope' is expected to be a return to the murkier character studies for which the director is known best.
Eckhart, last seen in 'Battle: Los Angeles' and the Oscar-nominated indie 'Rabbit Hole,' will next appear in this fall's 'The Rum Diary' with Johnny Depp.

Samsung and HTC to plant ZigBee home automation standard in future handsets
0. phoneArena 10 Jul 2013, 07:39 posted on
One of the reasons that the home automation craze hasn't completely taken off yet, are the numerous competing standards that exist. Sure, it is nice to be able to control your lighting, HVAC or appliances from afar, but you'd have to pick sides. If this latest rumor pans out, though, we might be nearing the state where one standard gets more popular than the others, prices falling, convenience ensues, you get the drift...

Burlington Township basketball coach Scott Kupersmit called for a change in his team's defense when the Falcons trailed visiting Monmouth Regional by 22 points early in the third quarter on Thursday night.
The Township (18-9) players, using a full-court, man-to-man defense, responded by creating numerous turnovers and forging a comeback that resulted in a 69-65 overtime win in the Central Jersey Group 3 tournament quarterfinals.
Danny Rodriguez (23 points) provided eight points and seven rebounds in the fourth quarter, and David Coulanges (15 points) hit a tying three-pointer with 10 seconds left in regulation.

Maybe Doris can explain more clearly!
(didn't read the whole discussion) Can anyone try to understand the penalty for "illegal movement" that G/F received? It's the third time they perform this program this season and they never received this kind of deduction before...
The problem was with their lift. You can tell that because an illegal move as part of an element means the element gets either Level 1 or no score at all. Their lift was the only element they had that was Level 1 in the SD.
So let's look at their lifts this year:
Lift at SC "pop my cork"
Lift at Nebelhorn
Here's the rule:
I've highlighted the sections that apply. Nebelhorn tech panel thought the movement was not established or sustained or was used only to change pose. Or that she was not sitting on his shoulders for a brief time. SC panel disagreed.If there is an illegal movement during the execution of any element, the deduction for an illegal movement will apply and the
element will receive Level 1 if the requirements for at least Level 1 are fulfilled. Otherwise the element will be called No Level.
Rule 604, Paragraph 16
The following movementsand/or poses during the lift are illegal:
Lifting hand(s) of the lifting partner higher than his head*;
Lying or sitting on the partners head;
Sitting or standing on the partners shoulder, back;
Lifting partner swinging the lifted partner around by holding the skate(s)/boot(s) or leg(s) only
with fully extended arm(s) or by holding the hand(s) with full arm extension by both partners;
Lifted partner in upside down split pose (with sustained angle between thighs more than 45
* It is not considered as an Illegal Lift Movement/Pose if:
· the point of contact of the lifting hand/arm of the lifting partner with any part of the body of
the lifted partner is not sustained higher than the lifting partners head;
· the lifting hand/arm which is used for support or balancing only or which touches any part of
the body of the lifted partner is not sustained by the lifting partner higher than his head for
more than 2 seconds.
** A brief movement through an upside down split pose (with any angle between between thighs) will be
permitted if it is not established (sustained) or if it is used only to change pose.

Last year Virtue/Moir did a lift where Tessa sitting on the Scott's shoulders.Sitting or standing on the partners shoulder, back;
This lift could be illegal too.
I never did really figure out why it was OK to sit on someone's shoulders facing them, versus sitting on someone's shoulders facing the other way. But all the tech panels agreed that Tessa & Scott's lift was OK. So that is not sitting on the shoulders.
Oh, thank you Doris!! So this means that they lost at least 4.50 points because of that lift With those 4.5 points they could have been 5th... Well, let's hope that they'll change that position!!
To me, the shoulders are the features either side of your neck. Whichever way someone is facing, if both their legs and/or their butt or thighs are pressed down supporting them on either or both shoulders, they're sitting on someone's shoulders.
and sitting isThe human shoulder is made up of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) as well as associated muscles, ligaments and tendons
Clearly the ISU does not agree with me (nor with the above definitions), and I am OK with that, but I wish they would publish a question/answer about why it is OK, exactly, in their view-teams planning new lifts could use the clarification.Sitting is a rest position supported by the buttocks or thighs where the torso is more or less upright.
This lift of G&F looks more questionable for "sitting" than for "upside down split" because the split is clearly transitional, and should be OK.
Several people had different theories of why V&M's lift was OK. If team G&F bought into the wrong reason, the ISU caused their confusion, and that makes me angry. There should have been a clarification of the rule.
I recall one person who claimed to be a dance coach claiming that sitting on shoulders meant the lifted partner sitting on a single shoulder. If that's how the rule should be interpreted, either sitting forward or backwards astride the neck would be OK.

AeroSvit #132 (EDIT! wrong FLT #)
June 17th, 2004
Seat 2C, Business Class (But AeroSvit has some weird equivalent to it) (Like 2F or something) (Lacks any feasibility)
Scheduled Departure: 6:30PM
Actual Departure: 6:40PM
Takeoff: 7:30PM or So/Lots of holding time
Scheduled Arrival: 11:30AM
Actual Arrival: 12:30PM
Boeing 767-300/ER UR-VVF
Well, There's an interesting fiasco associated with this trip. We arrived at check-in to be told by a rude Swissport agent that check-in would commence at 2:30PM. We had some Krispy Kremes....some of the best doughnuts out there, shopped, and then went up to AeroSvit check-in, where there were already 35 people in line..over 4 hours before the flight. We asked about a Business Class Line and were rudely ushered (again by Swissport) into a line that had no marking, but had two people standing in it.
I asked the agent about seat 1A (even though AeroSvit did not call it 1A) and he said it wasn't available, and that all of the seats were "pre-assigned". My mom did not like that and proceeded to write the agent's name down. The agent proceeded to consult with another agent, and it turned out that my visa didn't start until the 20th. Mind you, We were trying to fly on the 17th. The guy kind of rudely said "Your not flying today." and my mother wisely demanded an AeroSvit Representative. After much calling, (he called the Ukrainian embassy on our behalf and really tried to work something out, but they would be fined if they let us on the plane) it turned out we had to zoom to Manhattan (59th Street and 2nd Ave. I believe) The taxi driver said we have "no chances" to make the flight, but we somehow managed to come back to JFK sometime less than 45 minutes before departure.
My mom and I developed a plan. While she paid for the cab and got the stuff, I was to run to check-in to try to make plans. I had a feeling the whole time we would make it. I ran my heart away knocking off some poor family (Sorry Guys!) And arrived at the AeroSvit counter. They were just about to close, but a very friendly AeroSvit representative chatted with me, and saw it through that we would be checked in onto this flight by a Swissport employee. We had to make check-in that day because all flights for the next 2 weeks after that were overbooked.
We proceeded to security, but not after a long wait for T4s lousy elevators. A really happy guy asked us "Business?" "Business?" "Business." "Business." as we went through the security line. The guy sounded really, really, really happy. It was quite funny and a good start to the trip. We went through TSA screening and nothing went off. When we got to the gate it was deserted, except for 2 Swissport agents and another document check.
We got onto the 767 and took our seats and some newspapers. I settled in and called home to explain that we had made the flight. The flight was pretty full, but not in Business, which I would call about half full. If anyone cares, I believe the configuration was 24J/228Y. 2J seats are allocated as crew rests. Maybe it was 195Y/24J.. I honestly don't remember exactly.
In front of us there were two people chatting with eachother. We made nothing of them, but they were big and muscular, and my mom said they were some sort of boxers (something about the way they looked). Not the underwear, boxers but those who go pow-pow ding!
The really friendly AeroSvit agent approached us and said Good Bye and said Thanks to some other passengers. He was really friendly, his name was Mikola, and he showed up later towards the check-in process and walked around with a cane.
Soon enough the flight attendants (one per aisle) came through with Orange Juice or Water. I chose Orange Juice, which was pretty average, Ukrainian, bottled Orange Juice, Perhaps Sandora, my least favorite of the Ukrainian Juices... Ukrainian Users will know what I'm talking about.
We got very nice amenity kits. I can upload pictures if you like. They had all of the basic amenity kit stuff of pretty good quality. Plus this really nice quality hair comb/mirror combination. Great gifts for all of the women you may meet on your travels
I also got this really nice Coloring Book (I look MUCH younger than my stated age of 13-15.. Which is my real age) , and my maturity as per testing is even less than the age I look (even though it's old testing) so I really enjoyed that little gift.
We had to wait in line after like 28 jets, and we finally got underway. We got to cruising altitude and nuts were handed out. Basic Nuts in some Ukrainian Brand's Bag.
Soon enough I got my Children's Dinner (I know, cutoff age is 12, but the computer didn't say that )... It was......... of questionable quality. The fish was VERY fatty, my mom even said to stop eating it it had so much fat in it, but the salad was really quite good, as were the fruits. The rolls were all right, but I was really surprised when they didn't use Tongs to serve the rolls. Some users will know what I'm talking about
I would give the meal 2*/5*.
The crew were all right. They were fairly friendly, and got their jobs done well. I passed out a few hours after takeoff, and woke up about 3 and a half hours before breakfast. There were no flight attendants slouched down over a row of chairs. (Read my SU trip report) . I got thirsty and had some more Multivitamin Juice from a somewhat eager FA. The toilets were all kept in tip-top shape for the flight.
We then had breakfast, for me it was this really, really, really, really nasty.. I don't even remember what the meal was called, but it was Rubber. Economy gets the same hot dishes as Business at AeroSvit, and you can tell! from the same pretty nice FA and we began our descent into Kyiv/Boryspil international airport.
We landed shortly thereafter, and proceeded through customs. We realized there was a COUNSULAR DEPT. At the airport that could have deal with our problems..if only the Ukrainians could have acknowledged that, and saved us $100 in cab fares. Even though the lady at the embassy was REALLY nice.
The return will come soon:
The extraordinarily friendly FA.
The smokers.
The luxurious lounge.
Are just some highlights from our trip.
A random preview quote from my trip: "This is where it gets interesting", before the smokers got into play.
In-Flight Entertainment: 2*/5*
Pretty Boring and didn't work too well.
Service: 3*/5*
Don't remember too much.
Food 2*/5*
Pretty Nasty
Check-In 4*/5*
Really friendly VV agents compesnated for rude Swissport agents, who were by no fault of AeroSvit bad agents.

We were a party of six. We live in Florida , so it was an easy ride over. We used the park and go parking service located next to the port. They are wonderful and very safe.
Our experience on board the ship was great, with only one annoyance. When we arrived at the shows we booked, we were sure to arrive early, only to get a good close seat, then were turned away and told that only the Gold card members could occupy those seats?? It all worked out ok, but, it was never like that before.
Our service in the MDR was superior. We had Ms. Mary Jackson and her assistant Renae. They were awesome, very attentive to detail and remembered little things we liked. Mary and Renae also served us breakfast in the MDR every morning that we could get her. They answered all our questions about food selections and any other thing around the ship. All of us really looked forward to seeing Mary and Renae anytime we went to the MDR. Two of us really enjoyed the dance session in the mall called "flash mob" with Layla from Australia . She was great and fun and energetic !! Wonderful cruise and wonderful staff !!

My first short using the Canon 7D camera! It arrived too late for me to capture the full colors of fall, so this is the tail end of the season here in Upstate New York. All the particulars are at the end of the video but I'll mention them here too:
Camera: Canon EOS 7D in 1080 30p.
Lens: Tamron SP AF17-50mm F 2.8 XR LD ASPHERICAL (IF)
Highlite Tone Priority - OFF (To access 100 ISO)
Picture Style- Standard
All Shutter/WB/Aperture settings in Manual Mode
Tracking shots using the 36" indiSlider Pro
All color is straight from the camera, no post color correction.
Shot in 1080 30p transcoded to XDCAM EX 35mbs VBR using MPEG STREAMCLIP.
I LOVE this camera! I've been using my XDCAM EX1 and a Letus Extreme 35mm adapter. As I shoot scenics in nature, the small lightweight form factor of the 7D is incredible. While this was all shot in one loction in a couple hours, I can't wait to go on a serious hike with this thing. It'll be soooo light weight to carry compared to my other rig. The small size is also a treat for using on the indiSlider. I was pushing the weight limits of it before with my 20lb EX/Letus combo. I have an older MAC edit system, so I need to transcode all the H.264 files before I can edit, that is a time consuming process and a drag, but the footage is just lovely and worth the effort.
Finally the music is from Digital Juice Stack Tracks buy out library. Volume #50, "The Country".
I'll be shooting more with this camera soon as I'm still learning it. I need a Vari-ND filter for my lenses in order to shoot at F2.8 (when needed) and still keep the shutter at 60. Some of these shots used a higher shutter since I was using 100 ISO and F2.8. Without ND filters I had to increase shutter to obtain proper exposure. I only used 1 lens for this. The Tamron 17-50mm is perfect for most situations and I leave it on the camera all the time! If you can only get one lens, I highly recommend this one to start with.

… is what the Washington Post's Style columnist — yes, Robin Givhan (of I see Clinton cleavage fame)— wants you to know about Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. And what does she expect you to make of that? Here is the actual photo and caption in the Post accompanying Givhan's story: "UNUSUAL: Most women, including Sen. Amy Klobuchar, cross their legs when sitting, but not Kagan."
Givhan goes on to report, among other things (and here is one critique of some of those things), that Kagan "doesn't appear to ever cross her legs," not "at the ankles, either, the way so many older women do."
Turns out? Kagan sometimes doesn't sit "with her legs ajar." Below, a few pictures of the nominee looking a little more like "most women:"

UNEP Releases Climate Neutral Strategy
7 September 2010: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has released a master plan to reduce its carbon footprint and pave the way towards climate neutrality.
Between 2010 and 2012, UNEP commits to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 3% each year, from 2009 levels. A key target area is work-related travel by UNEP employees. At present, air travel is responsible for over 85% of UNEP's emissions. The new strategy aims to reduce employee travel by 3% each year from 2010 to 2012. According to UNEP, more journeys will be undertaken by train and the organization will invest in e-conference technology. UNEP will establish an e-communication plan where all UNEP employees are provided with access to online communication tools and online meeting rooms.
UNEP also plans to introduce a 'green meetings' policy, through which all conferences, events and meetings will need to adhere to UNEP's 2009 Green Meeting Guide. [UNEP Press Release]

If you're 21 or older, you could qualify for a "Once In A Lifetime" flyaway with DEF LEPPARD's "Viva Hysteria In Vegas," brought to you by the Bear and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The trip includes everything you need for a sinful Vegas getaway, and all the details are right here: www.TheBearRocks.com/Contests/Register.aspx?ContestID=168264. Plus, I have lots of tickets for some high-flyin' National Lacrosse League action with the Edmonton Rush hosting the Washington Stealth next Friday, February 15th at Rexall Place, and there are some "Death Race 3" DVDs to win too!
HUNDREDS OF HOCKEY... Starting today at Noon, it's the annual broadcast of "Hockey Day In Canada" on our beloved, government-owned, National TV Network, CBC.

All starts are Mountain time, GO OILERS GO, a force to be reckoned with!
HUNDREDS OF SCAMMING... We've all heard the tales before about someone coming to your door and offering a really nice, brand new TV for a price that's "Too Good To Be True," right? Well, Edmonton Police are warning the public about a fraudster who's been going to houses and doing exactly that, then he'll take some "deposit" money from you to "go get the TV," then he never returns. Don't get taken by these f*ckin losers! Have you ever been the victim of a door-to-door sales scam?
HUNDREDS OF IMPAIRED DRIVING... How can people not get the message about drunk driving?! Oh right, because they're stupid. Here's a story about some dude who went on a bit of a drunken joyride yesterday morning through a residential area in Edmonton and ended up finishing off his fun by hitting a police cruiser, f*cking idiot: www.GlobalTVEdmonton.com/update+police+cruiser+involved+in+crash+with+alleged+impaired+driver/6442805113/story.html
