Just a bit off the end please. And the middle, and the beginning. Photograph: David Sillitoe
The news that Weidenfeld & Nicolson are producing slimline versions of classics has most people apoplectic but actually I don't feel as appalled as everyone else seems to be.
According to those who are anti this idea, the whole point about these works of genius - Mill on the Floss, David Copperfield and Wives and Daughters are also to get the W & N cut-off-at-the-knees treatment - is their ambling byways, baffling dead-ends and sudden jumps of pace and tone. It is this glorious "complexity" - some might call it "muddle" - that makes a classic, classic.
I don't agree. Many of these books, while marvellous, also suffered from being originally produced in installments, which meant that each section had to end with a cliff-hanger, regardless of whether the narrative required it or not. Others had to be finished in a hurry to meet a publisher's deadline. The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot is a case in point. While the first two thirds of the book is a wonderful, if leisurely, evocation of a small English market town at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the last part is a rushed, breathless, melodramatic affair with an entirely unlikely tying up of plotlines. Thackeray's Vanity Fair, while sublime in places, also contains whole stretches of writing that, frankly, never rise beyond the workmanlike.
If any of these books arrived on a publisher's desk today, chances are that an editor would be dispatched to wield a very sharp scalpel before the book was considered commercially viable. What, then, is so wrong about Weidenfeld & Nicolson deciding to do just that, albeit 100 or so years later? In schools and universities the full texts will still need to be studied - knowing how and why George Eliot rushed the ending of Mill on the Floss tells you a lot about the kind of writer and person she was. However, for "ordinary" readers - people who want nothing more than to be diverted by some of the greatest prose writing ever produced - I can't see why it matters if they opt for a crisper version of a rambling old classic.

|Re: Question about holdability and XA
|Tue, 14 Jun 2005 21:45:56 GMT
Hi Kathey, Just to summarize, the holdability table will look the same for EmbedConnection as well as BrokeredConnection. Global Transaction Local Transaction JDK13 CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT conn holdability (Default HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT) JDK14+ CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT conn holdability (Default HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT) A Connection object will have it's holdability set to default which is HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT. When the connection joins a global transaction, the holdability will get switched internally to CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT. When the connection leaves the global transaction and becomes part of local transaction, the holdability is restored to what it was before entering the global transaction. It works this way in both jdk13 and jdk14+. One thing to keep in mind is that PreparedStatement get the holdability from where they are prepared and not where they are executed, for instance, Start Local Transaction Connection holdability (default - HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT) PreparedStatement (holdability will be HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT) ResultSet from PreparedStatement will have holdability as HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT Start Global Transaction Connection holdability switches to CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT Another ResultSet from PreparedStatement will attempt to have the preparedStatement's holdability and that will cause exception because Global transactions do not support holdable cursors. Exit Global Transaction and become part of Local Transaction Connection holdability back to HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT I have come across one bug with jdk13 though, where the holdability is not getting restored back to HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT when the connection becomes part of local transaction after leaving global transaction. I will enter a JIRA entry for it and start working on it. thanks, Mamta On 6/12/05, Kathey Marsden <email@example.com> wrote: > > Mamta Satoor wrote: > > > > > Your table of holdability for JDK13 and Local Transaction should have > > "conn holdability (Default HOLD_CURSORS_OVER_COMMIT)".

Xiang Junior
It all started the day Father came home with two new people, he called them slaves, I preferred to call them servants or Father's workers. I was in my bedroom doing some English homework. English was my favourite subject, perhaps because it was actually hard, not tedious like my other school subjects. Maths and science came naturally to me and I needed little effort to be good at the humanities. At the age of twelve I had asked Mother to send me to boarding school in America or England, but she said she loved me too much to send me away.
"Xiang!" called my Father; I left my pen on my desk and jogged down the stairs.
"Yes Sir?" I asked, he was alone in the hallway,
"If you cannot go to America, then America will come here," he smiled,
"Father?" I asked,
"Go and look in the kitchen," he said,
"But Father, the kitchen is only for the servants!" I cried in horror. I had been a curious boy at the age of six, it was then when he began to bring in workers. It had become an obsession of his ever since, but at first I was elated that new people had joined our household. That very same day I had gone into the kitchen of our new house to say hello. It was all harmless but later when Father had found out he had been furious. I had been banned from interaction with the 'lower-classes' as he called them. I came back to reality,
"Go Xiang!" he said pushing me away. I obeyed and opened the kitchen door timidly; two people were sat at the kitchen table eating. They did not see me as I ducked back into the hall, Father was gone and I sighed in relief. Being an only child -due to the one child policy- meant I was rubbish at interacting with other people, especially people my age. Inside the kitchen had been a boy and a girl, of about 16 years.
I ran back to my bedroom and locked the door. Instead on continuing my English homework I began to draw what I had seen. Aside from English, art was my favourite subject. I sketched the kitchen, which I had never seen before so I wasn't sure I had got it right. I sketched the boys brown hair and green eyes, and I made sure the girl had beautiful big eyes, like all western people had. I coloured her red hair, she was really beautiful, it was a shame our culture had already affected her looks by the way she dressed in Chinese clothes and had a similar native hairstyle. I finished my drawing and put it away in my drawer; I locked the drawer and then hid the key. That was my drawer; no servant was getting in there. I smiled and lounged on my bed reading a book, there was a knock on my door and I sat up, the cleaner was here. I opened the door and left her to clean my room as I went back downstairs; I saw my Mother and smiled at her,
"Hello Mother," I nodded towards her, she smiled back,
"Your Father has hired two American servants," she said happily, "You may practise your English on them," I nodded,
"I shall thank Father now," I said heading to his office,
"Father," I said knocking on the door,
"Come in!" he called; I obeyed and walked down the carpet to his desk. "Good evening," he smiled.
"Send those American slaves back," I said,
"What?" he spat,
"I don't want them here, they are effecting the Chinese culture," I said. The truth was I knew more than my Father did about universal affairs, I knew the two of them hadn't signed up for this,
"The girl has already dressed into suitable clothing," he added,
"That doesn't matter, they do not belong here. Father you know the slave trade is illegal in the west,"
"It is in the east son, but we are better at hiding it!"
"They are from the west, we could get caught and you could go to prison."
"What are you implying? I am a criminal?"
"You will be, keeping these two American's here!" I retorted,
"Xiang!" my father roared, "They will stay!" he threw a pen pot at me, it crashed against my head, the pens flew everywhere.
"Yes Sir," I nodded and backed away. My Father's temper was unpredictable and I was pleased he took it out worse on the servants; I scurried back to my bedroom and locked the door again. Finally I felt safe. My Father wasn't the most honest of men, communism had come into the country in 1949 but Father's Father had bribed the government not to take away his fortune and so he was one of the richest Chinese men in existence. He was able to control almost everything and one day that inheritance would pass on to me. Truthfully I was dreading it.

By Kathy Barks Hoffman, Associated Press Writer
LANSING, Mich. If you get a little tingle whenever you see Michigan's lakes, waterfalls and beaches featured in a Pure Michigan ad, Travel Michigan head George Zimmermann knows just what you're feeling.
The state is launching its 2008 Pure Michigan advertising campaign in the state on Monday, a week after it launched the campaign regionally in cities stretching from Milwaukee to Cincinnati.
Michigan hopes the award-winning campaign will draw more tourists from nearby states and Canada to enjoy its beaches, golf courses, fishing spots and bike trails, providing a shot in the arm despite higher gas prices and the weak economy. More than 80% of the state's tourism promotion dollars are being spent outside of Michigan, Zimmermann says.
Chris MacInnes, senior vice president of the four-season Crystal Mountain resort in Thompsonville, has high hopes for the summer and fall campaign and for new ads that will run this winter promoting Michigan's ski resorts and snowmobile trails.
"It's no secret that Michigan is challenged economically, and this helps," she says. "This brings more people into Michigan, it creates jobs, and it creates a beautiful image for the state."
According to Travel Michigan, the state's official tourism promotion agency, the industry contributes $18.8 billion to Michigan's economy each year, accounts for 200,000 jobs and generates $1.1 billion in state tax revenues.
Zimmermann expects the Pure Michigan television and radio ads, billboards and state tourism website will attract more tourists to the state than even last year's successful campaign. Follow-up surveys found that the 2006 Great Lakes, Great Times campaign was responsible for drawing about half a million visits to the state from the Chicago, Indianapolis and Cleveland areas, Zimmermann says.
Last year's Pure Michigan campaign drew 1.3 million people from the same three markets, the surveys found.
"We basically more than doubled (tourist visits) with the same budget just by switching campaigns," he says.
People send e-mails to the Travel Michigan website raving about the television spots, and one Chicago resident even wrote: "When are your ads going to start? I miss them."'
Zimmermann says the ads also may make Michigan residents feel more positive about vacationing and living in their home state, reeling in recent years from drastic downsizing in the domestic auto industry, a depressed housing market and shrinking services.
"It's something people can latch onto and have a good feeling about why they're here," Zimmermann says. The ads boast of Michigan's unspoiled beauty and opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
But the tourism industry has struggled in recent years, in part because fewer Michigan residents are traveling in-state. A Michigan State University study released recently found the number of travelers stayed the same between 2006 and 2007, and predicts the number to drop 2% this year. Meanwhile, travel prices are expected to rise 3% to 4%.
Michigan State assistant professor Robert Richardson, who helped prepare the study, says the news isn't all bad. The declining value of the dollar could draw foreign visitors from Canada and other countries, and higher fuel prices could make an in-state vacation more attractive to Michigan residents.
The state is putting $17.5 million into tourism promotion this year, up from $13.2 million in 2007. The extra spending came after scores of business owners and local officials tied to tourism urged the state to do more. A legislative task force last week released a list of recommendations to expand tourism in the state, pointing to its economic benefits.
"Tourism attractions create a positive ripple effect on local businesses and communities, just like large industrial operations," says state Rep. Ken Horn, a Frankenmuth Republican who headed the task force. "We are talking about a leading state industry whose jobs can never be outsourced."
The extra money will allow the state to run ads for the first time St. Louis, Mo., and in nearby Columbus and Dayton, Ohio. The 2008 campaign also kicked off last week in Chicago; Green Bay and Milwaukee, Wis.; Indianapolis, South Bend and Fort Wayne, Ind.; Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo, Ohio; and Ontario, Canada.
Michigan plans to put nearly twice as much money into tourism promotion in 2009, sinking $30 million into an expanded campaign that also will promote winter tourism and allow the state to launch a national campaign next spring for the first time.
The state was able to free up the funds by refinancing some of its debt at lower interest rates, giving it the cash it needed to compete with states such as Illinois, which Zimmermann says spends $50 million on tourism promotion.
MacInnes says the winter ads and the national campaign should draw more visitors, given the success of the Pure Michigan campaign so far.
"We're seeing growth in our outstate markets and we believe we can attribute some of that to the Pure Michigan campaign," she says. "What this does is build a very compelling, very attractive image for Michigan. It really creates that umbrella image that we don't have the resources to do on our own."
Zimmermann says the Pure Michigan ads — narrated by Tim Allen, who grew up in Michigan — will pair well with the state's Upper Hand business marketing campaign that features Michigan actor Jeff Daniels when they air nationally.
"The state may benefit as much on the business side as on the tourism side," he says.

Priyadarshini (the victim) was with her father and grandmother, waiting for a train to Solapur (Maharshtra) at platform number 10. Her father Srinivas had gone to fetch tickets when this happened.
Priyadarshini was declared brought dead to the hospital.
While Priyadarshini and her grandmother were waiting on the platform, a 25-year old man (who identified himself as Kumar) came on the pretext of playing with the girl, but attacked her suddenly with a kitchen knife, stabbing her. After committing the crime, he tried to take her away with him, but was intercepted by an RPF personnel. But the latter backed off when the man threatened to kill him and hurt others too. Following this, he tried to flee the spot by leaving the girl on the platform, but was caught by another RPF official, with the help of the passengers.
Priyadarshini was declared brought dead to the hospital. Confessing of his crime, Kumar revealed that he belongs to a small village in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, but the police is trying to get more details out of him. "We are not sure about the motive of the attack.
The assailant appears to be mentally unsound as he has been giving incoherent answers. Eyewitnesses said Kumar attacked the girl and not anyone else," said Sarvshresth Tripathy, the Government Railway Police superintendent of police, Secunderabad.
Kumar suffered severe injuries when people caught and beat him. He has been admitted to the hospital.

Series: Records of the Zoological Survey of India Occasional Papers Volume: 371

It is globally known that we are loosing species of mammals due to habitat fragmentation and poaching. Identification of mammalian species through hair, i.e. trichotaxonomy, has practical applications in forensics, taxonomy, ecology and management of wildlife. The study of predator feeding habits from the analysis of prey hairs found in scat has been widely used for describing the diet of mammalian carnivores. However, few studies have been done in India for trichotaxonomy of small mammals like species of Lagomorpha. The species of the order Lagomorpha present in India are data deficient and also listed under the Indian Wildlife (protection) Act 1972. The present study thus will be useful in identification of the species of this order for their status survey, prey-predator relationship and for other ecological studies, as well as for providing strong scientific proof for wildlife forensics. The document provides photomicroscopic details, with scanning electronmicrographs for medulla type, cross-section types, cuticular types with measurements of primary guard hairs of dorsal and ventral sides, and head and tail. The cuticular index is added as an additional parameter and introduced for the first time in trichotaxonomy.

Cool LED light.
Corsair link is a little buggy on windows 8, the fan curve does not seem to work and the temp readings are horrible. I just manually adjust the fan speeds with link and it works fine.
Other Thoughts:
I've applied and reapplied some arctic silver 5 on my i5-4670K 3 times and the idle temps still stay around 40c. Stress test using occt ends up around 80c. Haven't even o/c the processor :(
I don't think case airflow is the issue as my GPU runs about 30c idle and 50c full load. I'm an OCD kind of guy so this really bothers me lol - perfect rig minus the high CPU temps :(
Thinking I should have gone back to aircooling.

Violence: Violent altercations involving countless types of artillery, as well as bladed and explosive weapons occur throughout the movie in nearly every scene. However, despite the amount of violence, there is little blood seen. Torture, specifically "water-boarding" is mentioned once. Countries launch nuclear weapons aimed at each other. A city is shown being destroyed by a futuristic weapon.
Sexual Content: A woman is seen in a revealing dress and two men look at her in a sexual manner. A woman is shown undressing to her underwear in the background of a shot.
Language: A character makes a sexual gesture with his fingers and another begins to say a sexual expletive but is cut off. Other profanities are infrequent and limited to mild curses and a couple of terms of deity.
Drugs/Alcohol: A fictional substance is used to paralyze people. Another substance is used to make a character forget what has happened to him.

Towards the end of her contract, my mother became ill and my wife was unable to continue to use the gym facilities due to her caretaking duties. My wife paid for the remainder of her contract and asked to terminate membership.
Fast forward 3 months later, we get notified that we owe 3 month member dues and that her contract was not cancelled. The manager, Marco, who handled her last transaction was transferred to another location and claimed to "not remember" what occurred. My wife has not used her membership for the period they are asking (because it was cancelled!) but they are still demanding payment.
The operations manager, Denny Wen, said there was nothing he could do for us and to fill out the form online to speak with corporate. He said that Marco should have given us a termination form but failed to do so, and it was basically our word against his with corporate.
Bad business practice!!! Prospective members beware!!!!

Salomon Czar Ski Package - $279.93
Salomon Czar Ski Package - The big mountain and hard charging skiers have a sidekick for battling the powder in the Salomon Czar Ski Package. The Salomon Czar Ski Package is equipped with a Double Monocoque Construction along with edge reinforcement so it is strong enough to hold up to the biggest drops and that occasional rock that you didn't see. A full wood core with a bamboo layer keeps these skis mellow flexing and light while retaining good pop. The Powder Rocker gives the Czar great float in the deep stuff that you'll find at the resorts that are getting hundreds of inches of snow. For bindings you'll have the Rossignol Freeski2 120 XXL which was made for the fat skis. The Dual Action toe piece is reinforced in the high stress areas which improves the overall structural integrity of the binding. The wide pattern is a must for wider skis increasing the torsional interface and creating a stronger coupling between ski and binding. You'll also have more leverage and control over the edges. If you crave floating in the fresh powder then you'll want the Salomon Czar Ski Package which was made for the true big mountain adventurer. .

First generation pathway inhibitors target the G protein coupled receptor Smo, but tumors can develop activating Smo mutations that confer resistance. Stanford researchers have identified atypical protein kinase C iota type (PRKCi) as a positive regulator of the pathway in BCCs and medulloblastomas. The researchers found that the kinase acts downstream of Smo, indicating it may be useful in Smo inhibitor-resistant tumors. Using a mouse model the researchers find that PSI, a pseudosubtrate inhibitor of PRKCi, dramatically reduces Hedgehog pathway activity in BCCs while reducing tumor growth. Continuing ResearchThe researchers are working on optimizing the selection and design of the PRKCi inhibitor. They plan to explore its effect with other cancers in which the Hedgehog pathway is implicated. Applications Treatment of hedgehog dependent tumors, particularly those that are resistant to Smo inhibitors. Advantages The current state of the art is to treat patients with Smo inhibitors. Because PRKCi and its inhibitors act downstream of Smo, this can be effective therapy for patients who gain resistance to Smo inhibitors.

Nutrition education is not currently required however FNS strongly encourages schools to provide nutrition education as a component of the FFVP. Providing nutrition is part of helping schools create a healthier school environment
The FFVP cannot be served as part of summer school sessions. The FFVP may be provided during a "year-round school's" summer session as this is considered part of the regular school year.
No. Fruits and vegetables may only be served during the school day.
Yes. However, schools must be able to demonstrate which items are purchased for the FFVP.
It is prudent for schools to develop a budget in order to assist in the timely expenditure of funds and FNS strongly encourages schools to do so.
None. The FFVP operates on a reimbursement basis. Schools are reimbursed based on their monthly submission of a claim for reimbursement. The State Agency cannot provide advance FFVP funding.

The European Union's so-called aviation "black list" which bans airlines from operating in any of its 27 member nations, has been updated with six more carriers.
Read about the Worst Airlines in the World
Six Airlines Added to Black List
The newly added airlines include aircraft operated by Jordan Aviation, Honduras' Rollins Air, Equatorial Congo, Stellar Airways of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Aero Majestic and Interisland Airlines of the Philippines.
It should be noted that inclusion on the list, which numbers more than 280 airlines from 24 countries, does not mean these planes are more likely to crash. It's about aviation oversight in the airlines' home countries, which the EU believes does not meet their "essential safety standards."
According to the AP, some critics have pointed out that the majority of airlines that appear on the black list "no longer operate or are freight outfits that service mining operations and do not carry regular passengers."
Read about the 5 Most Dangerous Airport in the U.S.
It is not unheard of for some airlines to get off the black list. TAAG Angola Airlines is now being allowed to operate two of its newer planes in EU, but seven of its other aircraft remain banned.
The FAA's No Fly Airline List
There is not a formal black list in the United States, but the Federal Aviation Administration does keep a list of countries which "cannot initiate new [air] service and are restricted to current levels of any existing service to the United States while corrective actions are underway." Countries are included in the list or not based on an assessment of the Civil Aviation Authority of each country.

Well, the vet did say he was the oldest dog in his practice. Yes, it is
long life for a dog. He was 21 when he breathed his last and all but the
last three months with excellent health. It seems the bigger the dog the
shorter the life expectancy. Our bulldogs only average 10 years, if given
excellent care. A toy fox terrier can live to 16 years.

An essay in horror
Those who love horror films will recognize this formula, a group of H.S. kids camp out in a haunted . . . fill in the blank here.
To begin with there were too many kids. Six would have been enough. The first hour runs the familiar course A) Background of said location, B) Intro of the kids and their dynamics c) Realization that something is not right and finally d) first deaths. All fine and good.
The bad: Never saw a window, never saw the kids attempt to escape after the first deaths. They spend too much time wandering halls looking for the rooms. It took too long to put a face to the green light, and expound on the reason for the haunting. In fact, the movie moved too slowly for my liking. The inner jealousy between Jesse, Dylan and Ashley was unnecessary. With the exception of Jesse, no one really had a personality unless Slut girl, Jealous boy, Stud boy, Nerd boy and Magic girl is enough for you. This last character (the girl whose brother was killed twenty years prior) should have shared her information long before entering the haunted locale. For gosh sakes, there is no good reason why she wouldn't. Furthermore as the story progressed she reveals even more (when the time is right) Why? And finally, the last half hour was populated by too many characters and their POV of what happened a 100 years ago. The ending was too rushed to explain a rather complicated plot. I don't even know how they vanquished the villain or how it related to the story.
Never answered: Why did the villain do what he did in the first place?? What did they villain want anyway. Presumably to come 'back to life'.
The good: Very haunting. The time flashes or separation of the cast via magic was cool. Loved that Jesse was a reincarnation of a person who was murdered in the original investigation. The discovery of the hands. The concept of the straight arrow hotel detective dabbling in magic to dispatch the villain. (Heck how he did it would have made a better movie) The curse aspect. The hotel itself was very frightening.
How it should have went down: Removing the two nerd boys and getting to the curse sooner would have helped. Introducing the villain sooner and diving into Jesse's past midway through the film would have lend credence to the proceedings. The fact that Jesse reveals at the end that he knew all along who he had been in a past life p*ssed me off!! So why didn't you share that info with your buddies, would have saved some lives, dude! Editing would have helped.
I have written all of this because I didn't hate the film, I only wanted it to be better. So I say, IT'S WORTH A LOOK for die hard adult horror fans.
The acting was fine, the direction, inspiring at times and the story idea was good.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Eight friends decide to go to an abandoned hotel that is supposedly
haunted after the brutal murders of five teenagers back in 1985. As
soon as they enter the hotel, weird events begin to happen, and they
start disappearing after seeing a mysterious light.
The mystery unravels as the remaining survivors realize that they're trapped in the hotel, and every time they try to leave, they're transported back to where they started from. What is keeping them there, and why does it want them dead? I wasn't expecting much going into this film, so maybe that's why I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's not your 'typical' haunted house story, and there's more to it than meets the eye. The friends are more than just mere eye candy who have no clue what's going on...they actually solve the riddle of the hotel and know how to stop the curse of it, but all they have to do is survive to achieve that goal. I found it to be a fresh idea given to an overdone theme.
This is a theme that has been done to death. Talking of death, although
it will most certainly not frighten you to death, it may well bore you
to death. A group of students or student types enter a haunted house
for a dare, out of curiosity or necessity, and strange things happen,
then spend the next hour walking around in the semi-dark. How
thrilling. No, not exactly. Yes, you guessed it, somebody or more
likely something is killing them, starting with the resident
nymphomaniac and her boyfriend in the middle of a session. What a way
to go.
There are ghosts, some are or appear to be malevolent. Others...Seriously, if you can sit through this one in a single session without taking a break to watch something genuinely interesting - like watching paint dry - well, you're braindead if not dead already. True, there are a few special effects, but they are not very special. In the last third of the film we get to see what or who is behind the nightmare, a magician who has crossed over to the other side. There is something about a mysterious book, and as this guy is a murderer, why not resurrect the original detective on the case? Yeah, seriously, and at the end they all live happily ever after. Those who survive.

I watched this movie after having seen it gain a rating of 8 on IMDb. I thought this must be a good horror movie to attain such a high rating (even though there had only been 44 votes at the time). After watching it i can say i am a little disappointed in the movie. Seemed like a low budget movie with poor actors & a fairly simple plot & thats exactly what you get! I thought it was a good enough watch & kept me reasonably interested but the fact that the source of all evil in the hotel turns out to be a stand-up show magician seemed to ruin the whole thing for me. Still watchable but not sure how it gets an 8.0 rating (at the time of writing this comment).
When this movie first started I thought...Oh No another teen slasher
flick! It's about these teens on there graduation night they go to this
hotel that is supposed to be haunted. They are gonna stay the night,
and go to the individual rooms where these kids from the 80's were
It starts off kinda slow, but really picks up by the middle. What I thought about the movie totally changed, It has twists and turns you really don't know what's going on until the end.
This movie was not your typical cookie cutter horror movie. I think you should definitely pick this up.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Pretentious is the word I'd use to describe this movie. The director
went "to pains" for many of his special effects and prop pieces which
were mediocre at best. The actors were terrible, and their characters
severely underdeveloped. The pacing of the movie was also sluggish, as
the majority of the kills were children twitching with blue light
shining over them. They didn't reveal the ghost until too late in the
movie, where you stopped caring.
I was most disappointed by the fact that these teenagers appeared to be stupid from their dialogue, but were still able to solve plot points. They were intelligent enough to figure out the curse and puzzle; to figure out from a twenty-year-old bloodstain that the victim was trying to hide something; they could speak Latin, translate "hobo symbols" on the walls, and use old photographs as maps. Yet they died because they separated unnecessarily from the group and then just stood in the same place for extended periods of time. No I'm not talking about the ghosts telekinesis when he held them in place, I'm speaking namely about the character Topher, who stayed behind to cry while his friends didn't notice his absence until the ghost descended upon him. It was extremely artificial, and not in the least bit suspenseful.
There are good points to the movie, as the characters seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's presence (save the obligatory fighting couple), which is a dynamic most movies miss on. There were a few good actors in the mix, even though they weren't playing with their best cards. And the story, if re-edited by a different company, could be genuinely interesting.
It also had a beautiful and creepy soundtrack, and sometimes (note, sometimes) had the perfect atmosphere for a higher quality horror movie.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I'm a huge fan of horror movies, and this one did a lot right, though
some things they messed up.
They were right in casting more or less unknowns for the kids. A common mistake in horror movies is that they'll cast stars as the younguns. A, everyone knows that they aren't actually 18. B, No one can watch the movie without thinking of them as stars. There are rare actors that can disguise themselves in their character, but for the most part it's a bad idea to stick them in a horror. It makes it less believable, and therefore less scary. So well done.
The bad part was the half-formulaic setup. There WERE plot twists, which is nice, but they messed up. In horror movies, either they stick with the formula, or they do something completely different. In Pray for Morning, they worked in limbo. They stuck to the formula in that the kids who were all about the sex were instantly killed- during the act. This is the puritanical nonsense that moviegoers have lived with for forever. So why? Why kill the sexed first? Then they killed the innocent. NEVER kill the innocent. THAT is non-formula. The innocent should be the last to die, and that's ONLY if there's two. You never kill BOTH if there's more than one. That's bad form.
They should have put a story to the light earlier, and shown something other than that the people were standing stalk-still screaming. Also, the kids should've put all the cards on the table from the beginning.
With so many criticisms, you'd think I'd hated it. But in reality it was a great show. The creepy brownish light and the ghosts' random appearances were well done, and the actors did a good job. It was gore-y, ugly, and fun.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Pray for Morning starts as a few teen friends decide to spend the night
in the Royal Crescent Hotel, a large rundown long abandoned hotel that
was the scene of five gruesome murders back in 1984. Jesse (Jonathon
Trent) has always been interested in the hotel & drawn to the mystery
surrounding the still unsolved murders, he has convinced some of his
high school mates to accompany him, during the middle of the night of
course because going there during the day when it was light would just
be silly. Once there they decide to check out the rooms in which the
five bodies were found, before anyone know's it an evil ghostly spirit
has been awakened & is killing the teens off one-by-one & unless they
can stop it none of them will live to see the morning...
Written & directed by Cartney Wearn I watched Pray for Morning last night without knowing a thing about it, the title is rather vague & could have referred to anything so I didn't go into it with any great expectation yet I still found myself disappointed & not particularly having a good time. What we have here is a cross between The Shining (1980) with it's hotel style setting & The Amityville Horror (1979) with the now standard haunted house scenario (spooky property has a dark past, you know the sort of thing) along with a few boring mystery elements thrown in there for good measure. The film spends far too much time showing annoying American teens wondering around this old hotel in the dark, it just doesn't make for particularly entertaining viewing & gets very boring very quickly. The script is predictable & is nothing more than a teen slasher with some tenuous supernatural elements along with an obligatory twist ending which didn't do much for me at all to be honest as I thought it was pretty ineffectual. There is one amazing scene I just couldn't work out, in it one of the annoying American high school teens examines a twenty year old blood stain & determines that whoever left the stain was trying to hide something! How on Earth do you work that out? Also it turns out that whatever the victim was trying to hide they hid inside an nearby air vent so when they were killed how could they have been trying to hide something when they had clearly already hidden it? Also why didn't the police find that severed hand in the vent only a few feet away? According to earlier exposition the police had 'torn the place apart' looking for clues so why not find that severed hand only a few feet away from a murder victim? The police obviously didn't do a very good job, did they? There's no explanation as to how or why there's a ghost in the hotel or how it manages to alter reality or how it can transport people back in time &, of course, the annoying American teens mobile phones don't work for no apparent reason either so they get isolated from the outside world in a now obligatory plot device for low budget horror films. The story doesn't engage or entertain, that character's are both poor & annoying, the plot is forgettable & not that much actually happens.
The hotel sets or locations (not sure if they filmed in a real hotel or in a studio) are quite nice but why are some of the lights on? Wouldn't the electricity have been turned off? Horror wise there's not much to get excited about here, there's a few bloody corpses & what looks like a bamboo stick stuck through someone but not much else & there's not much in the way of scares since the less than impressive CGI computer effects have the opposite effect & make things almost laughable. There are one or two bits with a decent atmosphere but it's never sustained for any period of time. The film seems to take itself very seriously & there's no humour or fun to be seen anywhere which doesn't help when the plot feels so stale & lethargic. To give it some credit there are a few period flashbacks at the end which are quite nicely done I suppose.
With a supposed budget of about $2,000,000 this has better production values than a lot of recent low budget horror but that's hardly any sort of recommendation on it's own. Filmed in Los Angeles. The only real cast member of note is cult German born actor Udo Kier who doesn't look interested at all & to my eyes seems to put on more weight in every subsequent film he makes (the Steven Seagal of the low budget horror world!).
Pray for Morning is a dull supernatural teen horror slasher that doesn't satisfy on any level really, never mind pray for morning I would suggest that most audiences will be praying for it to finish not too long after it has started.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie. That may be because I'm a major fan of B horror movies, mostly because I like to laugh at them...but this one I actually found I was enjoying it. I have to admit the acting was a little sub-par for many of the characters and a lot of the plot was cliché and directly from some A list horror, but really nothing is new anymore so I didn't mind that too much. The plot was pretty good...the characters...could have been developed better, and some just seemed pathetic. But it is horror and they still were a bit entertaining. What bothered me the most was the special effects, of course it was low budget, but come on...the lighting seemed like sunlight shining on a pool. Other than that I thought it was highly entertaining. Just ignore the actors' looks of "horror" which look more like surprise and trying not to laugh. Oh and ignore the horrible title. Other than that, if you enjoy and I mean enjoy B list movies I think you'll be surprised.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I never thought I'd feel so robbed of time.
I rarely see really bad movies... because no matter how bad a movie is, I always try to overlook the flaws and focus on the merits instead, then it becomes a not so bad movie. And I do that to convince my wife that I didn't waste her time making her watch the movies that I like her to watch with me.
But on this one, I failed.
Actually, it was my wife who tried to help herself enjoy the film, while most I could do was delay my judgment and not ruin it for her. Throughout the movie all that I could think of was hitting the eject button. In the end, the only thing positive with the experience was that we both enjoyed hating the film.
We hated it that when a character, inside a haunted building, sees a kid with blood trickling down his forehead, extends his arm to the kid and says "It's okay!" instead of running like hell. I know, people in horror movies are supposed to do stupid things, that's the way it is, but this one is just way too dumb!
We hated it that the characters get teleported during climactic scenes, but never beyond it. They didn't even have problems searching for the clues in every nook and cranny of the hotel.
We hated it that there was so much detective work done you'd think they're with Scoobie Doo. Seriously.
We hated the clichés of stumbling on the floor while running, rivals fighting over a girl at a really bad time, and a teen couple leaving all the others to have sex while inside a ghost-inhabited hotel. Clichés are forgivable, but clichés that are badly used and looked just plastered on the script is a crime.
The monster in this movie, or the element that's supposed to make this scary, is lame, funny at best. The title, while interesting, turned out to be irrelevant to the story. The actors' acting, while not in a drama, can make you cry. Save for the camera, it's really easy to mistake this for a high school project.
To each his own, but Pray For Morning for us turned out to be Pray For The Ending.
3 out of 10. Is it that bad? Yes. But I'm not giving it the lowest because there were still some elements that could've been worse.

The eleventh post of the series of programming job interview challenge is out. 75 readers provided answers to job interview challenge #10 and most of them had the correct solution. The correct answer as Alex, the first one to provide a detailed solution, wrote:
Here's an O(N) solution:
Have one variable that stores the sum of all the values. Iterate through the list to add all numbers to the variable, which for simplicity I will call "listSum".
Now, take the theoretical sum of all numbers between 1…n+1: This can be computed in O(1), as the sum of numbers up to N is n(n+1)/2: So for numbers up to n+1, it'd be (n+1)(n+2)/2 (for instance, if the array is of size 9, we'd do 10*(11)/2, or a theoretical sum of 55). Call this sum "allSum".
The missing number will be the result of computing "allSum – listSum".
O(N)complexity, with only two tracking variables.

Said on July 7, 2008 :
Are the numbers in the list unique? Or could we have (2,4,7,3,7) & 14 with the match being 7 & 7?
Said on July 7, 2008 :
Hi James,
To make things less complicated, you can assume that the numbers in the list unique.
Said on July 7, 2008 :
The most time-efficient way would be to utilize a hashtable. (Or, simply a set if your language supports it)
Let's take the example of searching for a sum 14
in the list 2,6,4,9,1,12,7.
Iterate through the list. For each value x in the list, add it to the hashtable, then check if 14-x exists in the hashtable. If not, go to the next item. if it does, return true (you found your pair). That "add to hashtable before checking" thing is necessary in order to prevent a 14-7=7 situation.
If you reach the end of the list without finding a matching pair, return false.
This algorithm is O(n) time, but also O(n) space.
The most space-efficient way is O(n^2) time, O(1) space:
For indexes 0,1,2,3,4,5, check 0&1…0&5,1&2…1&5, etc. A simple (14-list[i] == list[j]) comparison against every pair of elements evaluated will yield the results. Again, return when you find true, and if you make it all the way through the list without a match, return false.
Said on July 8, 2008 :
Here's my solution, assuming all integers in the input list are positive:
private boolean isMPresentInInput( final int[] input, final int m ) {
final boolean[] present = new boolean[m + 1];
for( int i = 0; i < input.length; i++ ) {
if( input[i] <= m ) {
present[input[i]] = true;
for( int i = 0; i < m / 2; i++ ) {
if( present[i] && present[m – i] ) {
return true;
return false;
Time: O(n + m)
Space: O(m)
Said on July 8, 2008 :
Here is a time O(n*log(n)) and space O(1) solution:
The first step: sort the N-element list which takes O(n*log(n)) time complexity.
The second step: search two elements whose sum is M. Since the list is already sorted(smaller to the left and larger to the right), we find one number from left to right, while the other number from right to left. The index of left number is indexed by i, and the index of right number is indexed by j. For each step, we calculate delta = M – Array[i] and compare it to Array[j]. If delta equals Array[j], we can return true; if delta Array[j], we increment i and continue. When i >= j, we break and return false.
The C# code is like below:
static bool CheckSum(int[] numArray, int sum)
for (int i = 0, j = numArray.Length – 1; i numArray[j])
else if (delta < numArray[j])
else // (delta == numArray[j])
{ return true;
} while (i < j);
return false;
Mark R
Said on July 8, 2008 :
The naive approach, O(n^2): for each number in the list, test each number further down the list; return true if they sum to m. When you reach the end of the list, return false.
A faster approach, O(n log n): sort the list using your favorite O(n log n) sorting algorithm. For each number list[i], subtract from m and return true if a binary search of the sublist list[i..n] finds this value. Return false when you have iterated to i>n, or list[i]*2 > m.
I hope this is the optimal solution, because it's the best I would have done in the time allotted for an interview.
Said on July 8, 2008 :
The [first] solution I came up with is actually using a look-up table ;P, a hash table storing numbers. For each number, check if m – list[i] is in the look-up table. Return true if it is, else add the list[i] to the hash table.
This will end up with O(n) in both memory and time complexity. But I have no doubts there's an algorithm with better memory complexity!
Said on July 8, 2008 :
My answer is here:
In summary:
For now I am satisfied that a hash key search is the least complex way to deal with this particular challenge, with the only caveat being a ceiling limit on the amount of elements that are in your initial array to begin with e.g. 1 – 10,000 elements. For larger arrays, binary tree algorithms might offer better memory performance but would be more complex to implement in a scripting language like Ruby.
Kirill Sorokin
Said on July 8, 2008 :
I believe the below one is good enough both performance and memory-wise.
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
if (m – array[i] == array[j]) {
return true;
return false;
Said on July 8, 2008 :
A simple way to do so is to take the first element of the list(n[0]), subtract it from the result(m), suppose we get x=m-n[0], now if x is positive, we check whether x exists in the list, else we can move to the next element in the list.If x exists in the list, then return true. Repeat this process for all elements in the list. The worst case would be if the last element is a match or there is no match, in which case the complete list needs traversal . In order to optimize the search, we can sort the list and take only the elements which are lesser than the expected result and work with them. This ways the number of traversals can be lowered, although the sorting would entail its own cost, which can be minimized using a good sorting algorithm. I will be posting an implementation on my blog in a day or so.

int find_copple_max(list_numbers *l, int m)

int max_first, max_second;
max_first = l->value;
max_second = l->value;
while ((l != NULL) || (max_first + max_second value > max_first)

l = l->next;
if (max_first + max_second > m)
printf("%d + %d > %d", max_first, max_second, m);
// Print result
return 1;
return 0;
Complexity is O(n) max (visit the complete list elements). Memory used: two int;

Said on July 8, 2008 :
It seems to me that the answer I'd look for in a job applicant would be to subtract each number in n from m and check to see if the result was in n:
public bool DoesSumExist(List n, int m)
foreach (var number in n)
if (n.Contains(m – number)) return true;
That's probably not the answer you're looking for, but it's applicable to an interview question, since I'd be looking for C# coders to work in a business environment where use of the tools (List) and keeping maintainability are important.
Said on July 8, 2008 :
Assuming we already have a binary search tree implemented, first insert all the nodes in the tree. Then start traversing through the nodes… If the node has a value greater then the sum that we are looking for then move to the next node on the left and ignore all the nodes on the right.
If the value is smaller then the sum we are looking for, start traversing further through the child nodes, check the sum of the current node value and the child node value, if smaller continue traversing, if not ignore the rest on the right.
Hard to express myself correctly in this small text-box but maybe i'll blog about it later on if i have time

Assuming that m>n.
Fast version O(n) time, O(m) space:
Call the elements of the list x1…xn for each xi insert a 1 into an array, a, at index i. (Time O(n))
Iterate over the the elements and see if a[m-xi] == 1 and if so return true. (O(n) lookups that take O(1) time)
Slow version O(nlogn) time, O(n) space:
Sort the list (Time O(nlogn)) call. For each element xi in list do a binary search in the sorted list to see if m-xi exists. (O(n) lookups that take O(logn) time)

Hi – i've posted my (probably quite wrong) solution and my (possibly even more wrong) proof on my blog:
appreciate any feedback you could provide.
Alessio Spadaro AS
Said on July 8, 2008 :
Re-post, as today i got a wp-install page as a result, so i'm not sure it worked.
The first solution uses a HashSet to record the elements as it scans the array as follows:
hs = new HashSet
for each elem in array:
if hs.contains(m-elem) return true
return false
contains and add are both constant time operations on an hashset, so we got O(n) for both execution time and memory.
The second approach sorts the array with a N*logN method (e.g. HeapSort) and then use two indexes to scan the sorted array like this:
h = 0
t = n-1
while (hm t-=1
if sum<m h+=1
return false
Doing so will result in a O(1) memory and O(NLogN) execution
Said on July 8, 2008 :
I assume we're not supposed to provide two algorithms, one for complexity and one for memory; the instructions are somewhat unclear.
Sort the list; there are many simple O(n log n) sorts including the one used by C++ in this code. Put pointers at the first and last nodes and sum them. If the sum is less than m, increase the low pointer; if it's higher than m, decrease the high pointer; if it equals m, return true. Keep trying until the low and high pointers touch, then return false. This is O(n), so the overall complexity is still O(n log n). Memory usage is O(1) assuming the sort is in-place like this code. I'm suspicious that the problem asks for true/false instead of the actual numbers, but I can't think of a way to lessen the complexity to take advantage of it.
bool check(int l [], const unsigned int lSize, const int m) {
std::sort(l, l + lSize);
int* start = l;
int* end = l + lSize – 1;
while(start != end) {
const int sum = *start + *end;
if(sum m) {
} else {
return true;
return false;

private static bool Question(List n, int m)
bool result = false;
foreach (var i in n)
var list = new List(n);
if (list.Contains(m – i))
result = true;
return result;
C#: this should handle both a list that has a unique value of 7 (would return false when it sees only one 7), and a list that has 2 values of 7 (would return true because there are two values of 7).

Here's a solution that uses O(n) for storage (by using a hashtable) and has a complexity O(n). The idea is that you loop on the array and, on each iteration, if the hashtable contains the number that, added to the current one, yields the target number, then you got your solution:
bool PairExists (int[] nums, int target)
Dictionary foundNums = new Dictionary();
for (int i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++)
int addendumToFind = target – nums[i];
if (foundNums.ContainsKey(addendumToFind))

foundNums.Add(nums[i], true);

I will sort the n integers first in O(nlogn) complexity.
Then i will move with 2 pointers – one from the start (p1) and one from the end (p2) over these integers, with these rules:
If arr[p1] + arr[p2] m, advance p2
Do this until arr[p1] + arr[p2] = m, then return true
Or until p1 and p2 meet then return false;
(this can be done in recursion)
Space complexity is only 2 pointers.

Said on July 13, 2008 :
since we are looking for i1+i2 = m where i1,i2 is some number in the list. So i2 = m-in
so all we need to do is check to see if list(n) contain i2.
It's worth pointing out that the efficiency of my solution depend on the efficiency of the list.Contains method which also greatly depend on the type of the list.

19.1: Channel and Control
"Come on, Elijah! Your punches have to be harder than that!" Solana urged me.
My punches could barely force her back even a little. I jabbed into the punching bag as hard as I could, but it was as exhausting as trying to dig through a brick wall. Solana stood her ground with ease. Her feet were planted in the dirt firmly, and she held the punching bag at her waist. With all of my punching, all that would fly backwards was the dust coming from a popped seam on the side of the bag.
"You need to channel more Essence like I'm doing."
I continued hitting the bag, trying to force Essence out of my body. Solana was doing it so effortlessly though. Just a mite of her sapphire Essence could lock her feet in place and keep me from doing any damage at all.
We were at it for two hours now, and all of my energy was spent. Solana noticed the pauses between each punch, and decided to use the opportunity to knock me to the ground.
Gasping for air, I begged Solana, "Can we take a break?"
"You need to build up stamina. More importantly, you need to learn to channel that Essence of yours on your own."
"Pretty tough to do when it's only my second day."
"It doesn't matter how long you've done it for. What matters is that you get through it." Solana sighed, "You have the potential, Elijah. I'm just trying to squeeze it out of you, in ways other than necessity."
"What do you mean by necessity?" I asked.
"Yesterday, you only perfected the danger reflex after I promised to take you to Timorba. You found where your parents had been when it was your only way of finding them. That rarely happens, and if it does, only under the proper circumstances. Usually we can only locate people in the present. I doubt you could do it again if I asked you to. That's why you need to train, to make these accidental occurrences into habits."
I hesitated, taking in all of her words with another gasp of air. "And what happened at the Dianoche—"
"I don't want to hear about the Dianoche right now. Don't think I'm not still upset about that, because I am. That's the other part of this exercise. Not only do you need to channel your Essence, you have to control it. There will be times when you become so overwhelmed that instinct and Essence will dictate the way you act. I will not let you hurt someone because you can't put restraints on your emotions. Now sit up."
I nodded, too fatigued to respond.
"I want you to close your eyes and take deep breaths. Focus on moving your Essence from your heart to the rest of your body. The best way to do it is to feel the blood flow through your arteries, and slowly open the gates of your Essence to ebb with it."
I slowly shut my eyes and began to breathe in rhythm. I took much deeper breaths than I would have, but it relaxed me. I tuned into my heartbeat; the once rapid pumping fell back into a steady cadence. I could feel the blood surge through my body to my head, arms, and feet. I followed the blood back to the heart, where the beating stopped for a moment. It was as if the center of my heart was paralyzed. Passing between the ventricles proved difficult.
The blood seemed to stop entirely, and I could no longer feel my heartbeat. My lungs contracted, and suddenly I began to suffocate. Panic flooded my brain, and my entire body felt as if it would shut down completely.
My eyes opened to Solana squeezing my shoulders, "Elijah!? Are you alright!?"
I took a few quick breaths, "What happened?"
"I don't know. Listen, I'll go get Celeste."
"Are you sure? She didn't seem like—"
"This could be an emergency and she's the only Green in the castle. We don't have much of a choice here! Sit straight up, take deep breaths, and I will be right back. Do not move."
"Fine," I obeyed, fearing even the thought of blinking.
